Chapter 0258 - Repaying the Favor

These days, Fang La is very emaciated, the crushing defeat of the Ming Sect Army has crushed all his ambitions, he no longer knows what to do, he can't see the future, he can't see hope.

He didn't understand why there were so many capable people in the imperial army.

Li Gang and Zong Ze, who are strategizing, Yang Weizhong, Wang Yu and other famous generals of the Western Army, who are as fierce as tigers, Xin Daozong, Xin Xingzong, Xin Yongzong and other Xin brothers who can fight well, young generals such as Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Wu Jie, and Wu Luan, who have risen in recent years, have protected the Zhejia Army on the border of the Great Song Dynasty for more than 100 years, and the Liangshan Army that has defended the northern Xinjiang......

There are too many capable people, and the Ming Sect Army does not have much resistance at all, and this is only part of the main force of the Great Song Dynasty.

In fact, less than half of the elite of the Western Army came, and only one-third of the Zhejia Army came, and the elite of the Northern Army did not come except for the Liangshan Army, and even Liu Zhongwu and Liu Yanqing, the two main elite soldiers of the Infantry Division and the Horse Soldier Division of the Guards, did not participate at all.

Why is the seemingly rotten Great Song Dynasty so terrifying?

Fang La felt very confused, and at the same time felt very desperate!!

He didn't understand why at all!

No one in the entire rebel army could answer his question!

When he got an invitation from the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, and heard that Zhao Bufan, who had a relationship with him, wanted to see him, he hesitated for two whole hours, and finally decided to meet him, because he had too many things to say and too many doubts to talk to.

In order to make himself look more energetic, he deliberately combed his hair, washed his cheeks, and changed his clothes, although he still couldn't hide the haggard eyebrows at the corners of his eyes, but it was still much better than the unkempt and dejected appearance earlier.

When it was time to set out, he refused to be accompanied by anyone and went out of the city gate alone. Because he had already seen the figure sitting calmly in the distance at the gate of the city.

A table, a pot of water and wine, and beyond that is the endless wilderness.

............

"You may be seated!"

Zhao Bufan smiled, stretched out his hand and motioned for Fang La, who had just walked to the front, to sit down, and then picked up the wine jug on the table, and gently poured a full glass for himself and the other party, and did not rush to talk about the war, but solemnly picked up his cup with both hands.

"Sect Leader Fang, I want to pay tribute to your life-saving grace in this first cup of wine, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have buried my bones in the Northern Frontier!"

Fang La's eyes were cold, and he didn't mean to hold a cup at all.

"What I regret most in this life is that I did this, and as a result, I created a traitor who is sanctimonious on the surface, but is actually greedy and cunning!"

Zhao Bufan smiled, did not refute, directly picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and then refilled himself.

"This second wine, I salute your spirit of rebellion against decay and darkness, which is very valuable, courageous, and worthy of admiration!"

The words fell, and he drank it all again.

At this time, he didn't pour any more wine, but looked at Fang La, and said with a faint smile: "There is no general or sect leader at the moment, so you treat me as a friend, and ask whatever you want, you have come to this situation, and there must be no less doubts." ”

These words can be said to have hit Fang La's heart directly, and his face, which had been tense for a long time, finally relaxed, and he sighed long.

"I don't understand, why are there so many capable people in the rotten Great Song Dynasty?"

Zhao Bufan smiled faintly: "Since ancient times, when the land of China was in danger, there were always many heroes who stepped forward, one after another, throwing their heads and spilling blood, trying their best to maintain the inheritance of our Chinese civilization, and now it is an era of heroes!"

These words seemed to stimulate Fang La, and his eyes flashed with annoyance: "I just want to overthrow the corrupt Great Song Dynasty, how can I ever endanger Huaxia?"

Zhao Bufan shook his head lightly and looked at him indifferently: "Sect Master Fang, I didn't say that you Mingjiao, your Mingjiao is far from qualified, I'm talking about the Jin Kingdom, which is the external trouble we are facing." Today's Jin State has just risen, they have no tolerance, no cultural heritage, and still stay in the primitive and barbaric tribal civilization, only thinking about possession, snatching and perishing, they will not tolerate everyone in the land of China, they will only conquer and exterminate.

I don't talk to you about the principles of loyalty and patriotism, but I just say that in the current situation, have you ever thought about what evil consequences will be caused? You are destroying the economy of our Great Song Dynasty and consuming the strength of our land, if you let the Ming Sect succeed in raising troops, then why can't others, everyone thinks so, then everyone will fight until the country is destroyed? Is you the only one in the world who can be the emperor? Why do you make everyone loyal to you?

I tell you very bluntly, you Mingjiao pulled up this mess of soldiers and horses, 200,000, 300,000, not to mention against the Jin State, even the elite iron cavalry in the north of the Liao State can crush you casually, and there is a saying in the population of the Liao State, that is called the Jin soldiers are not 10,000, and the 10,000 are invincible. ”

These words made Fang La's whole face sink, and he asked sullenly: "Then we should let this rotten Great Song Dynasty oppress?"

Zhao Bufan poured wine into his cup again, shook his head and smiled: "I never said that there is anything wrong with resisting, I just said that you chose the wrong direction and the wrong time, you will only cause the Great Song Dynasty to be more chaotic and weak, and it has no meaning for the change of the current situation, and more importantly, you don't have that ability."

If you really want to think about the success of the army, then you first get rid of the external troubles, and then think of a way to make the people's lives better, and clearly point out the road to a rich country and a strong army to everyone.

No, that's demagogy, people who can really rejuvenate the country will only look down on you even more, I wish you had died earlier, you will always be just a thief!"

Fang La finally fell silent and was silent for a long time.

Zhao Bufan looked at him quietly, feeling the cool autumn breeze, and sat silently for almost a quarter of an hour before opening his mouth again.

"Surrender! Whether you have the dream of being an emperor, or you really want to find a way out for the people, you have gone wrong, and you don't have that ability, thinking of those loyal brothers under your command, thinking of those suffering people, thinking of your own life and that of your family, you should stop it, there are enough dead!"

"Surrender?"

Fang La smiled bitterly, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyebrows became thicker: "If you surrender, you will have a way to live?"

Zhao Bufan smiled and said along with the words: "The holy decree has been issued, how can there be a reason to go back on its word?

Fang La raised his head and stared at him: "Even if the emperor doesn't kill us, won't Cai Jing kill us, won't Zhu Mian kill us?" We dug up the ancestral graves of Cai Jing and Zhu Mian and burned the bones of their ancestors, even if we surrender, they will be killed sooner or later!"

"You dug someone's ancestral grave?"

Zhao Bufan's face instantly became serious, and he thought to himself: It turns out that this is the core reason why Fang La is unwilling to surrender, the matter of digging the ancestral grave is indeed a bit serious, Cai Jing will definitely not give up, he will definitely take revenge, and let Fang La be tortured to death, and no one can save it.

No, no matter what, this battle can't be fought again, Fang La must be allowed to surrender, no matter what you say, the people are innocent after all, and they can't accompany Fang La to die, I owe Fang La a life, and I will return it to him today.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Bufan made a decision in his heart, looked into Fang La's eyes and said: "You let your brothers and people surrender, and I will also let you and your direct blood relatives leave, you can first disguise Qiao as a person from my Liangshan Army to go to the north, go to sea from Dongxian Port, and never come back, I will give you some gold and silver property, which is enough for you to gain a foothold overseas, and live a stable life in the future, this can be regarded as my repayment of your life-saving grace back then, and you and I will be clear from now on!"

"Are you serious?" Fang La looked up suddenly.

"Seriously!"

Zhao Bufan nodded affirmatively: "This is the best way, you are also a chivalrous person, I believe that you don't want your brothers and so many people to die innocently in vain, but I don't know which of the people who dug Cai Jing's ancestral grave are still alive?"

Fang La replied: "The brothers who went to dig the grave themselves have all been killed in battle, and only I, the person who ordered it, are still there. ”

Zhao Bufan nodded: "Okay, then it's not too troublesome, you find some corpses of the right height and shape as soon as possible, put on the clothes and clothes of you and your loved ones, create the illusion of self-suicide, to confuse others, and then go overseas, but in order to show your grief and anger for starting the fire, you must do one thing first." ”

"What's the matter?" Fang La frowned.

Zhao Bufan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Everyone in the world knows that you hate Zhu Mian the most, then you will take revenge after surrendering, and then create a big revenge to get revenge, and the illusion of committing suicide will never be suspicious!"

"You ......" Fang La was extremely stunned.

Zhao Bufan narrowed his eyes and said indifferently: "Zhu Mian has harmed Jiangnan, it is a big disaster to keep it, I want to revive the dynasty, sooner or later I will get rid of them, this time it is up to you to do it, so as not to cause trouble in the future, and it can be regarded as revenge for the people of Jiangnan." ”

Fang La looked at him with a complicated expression, and nodded heavily for a long time: "Okay! I raised my army under the banner of eliminating Zhu Mian, this is indeed a golden opportunity, but I also have a sister named Fang Baihua, who was captured in the battle of Hangzhou earlier, if I do this, my sister will be very miserable, do you have a way to protect her?"

"This ......"

Zhao Bufan frowned, but he didn't hesitate for too long before he said decisively: "If it has been captured, then it will definitely not be able to escape Cai Jing's revenge, you have dug Cai Jing's ancestral grave, and Cai Jing will definitely want your close relatives to suffer, so there is only one way to save her, just see if you agree or not!"

"What way?" Fang La asked urgently.

Zhao Bufan sighed and said helplessly: "In my opinion, the only way to keep her safe is to let her be a low-status prostitute as a sinner, and it is my prostitute, but at the beginning, I will make some plays for Cai Jing to see, so she will suffer some hardships, but after all, she will have a good life in the future, this is the only way, otherwise she will be brought to the army by Cai Jing sooner or later, and she will die a tragic death in the end." ”

Fang La's eyes changed uncertainly, and he quickly weighed it in his heart.

"Okay! I will let my cronies and brothers listen to you in the future, but don't lie to me, otherwise I won't let you go!"

Zhao Bufan smiled faintly: "I have no reason to lie to you at all, if it wasn't for the people, if it wasn't for the life-saving grace of the year, why should I do it?"

Fang La didn't say anything more, and suddenly got up.

"Okay, if you really fulfill your promise, we owe you a favor in this life, and we will repay it in the next life!"

Zhao Bufan picked up the wine glass again and smiled slightly.

"Then this third glass of wine, I will respect you and my fate, cherish it all the way!"

"Precious!"

Fang La picked up the wine glass and drank it all......
