Many of Fang Jie's actions are puzzling, and some knowledgeable people in Yongzhou City are discussing in private, as long as he is not crazy, he can't do something like this, which almost wiped out the wealthy families in the city. But Fang Jie did it, and he wasn't crazy. Maybe no one can understand Fang Xie's inner world, except himself.
None of his women can.
Therefore, Fang Jie was a little lonely.
He has many friends, he has more than one hundred thousand troops, he has confidante, and he has many enemies.
But he is really lonely.
The conversation with Murong Yongduo in the study made Fang Xie release a little bit of the depression in his heart. But no matter who it is, maybe they can't understand his approach. There is nothing wrong with saying this, his friends and his women will support all his decisions, but they may not necessarily understand.
After ordering Luo Qiu to be executed, Fang Xie read quietly in the study until dark.
This was the first feudal official who died at the hands of Fang Jie. Although his status was inferior to that of Luo Yao, in a sense, it was even more shocking than killing Luo Yao. He had just submitted a letter to the imperial court to request a reward for the Black Banner Army, and he beheaded the governor of Pingshang Road in a blink of an eye. You must know that the imperial court did not dismiss Luo Qiu, he is still a real governor of the second rank.
Even the emperor of the Sui Dynasty would have to spend a lot of trouble to kill a senior member of the second rank, one of the twenty-four governors.
But Fang Jie's method was much more straightforward than the emperor's. He ordered it, so Luo Qiu died.
Walking out of the study, Fang Jie went to the dry lake again. The lights in Luo Mansion were brightly lit, and the patrolling Xiaoqi school saluted respectfully. Fang Jie smiled and nodded, but his heart was still a little empty. He sat down on a big rock by the dry lake, looked down at his hands and couldn't help laughing at himself, muttering to himself that those friends and relatives in his previous life never imagined that he was playing the role of a butcher in another world Role.
Someone walked slowly in the distance, and he knew who it was without looking at Fang Xie.
Except for Sang Sasha, no one can walk anywhere without a sense of abruptness. No matter what occasion she is in, she will be very natural, as if she should be there. She is in the mountains and rivers, she is a stone that has experienced thousands of years of wind and sun. She is in the desert, she is a handful of sand that can slip through the fingers. She is by the river, she is a weeping willow swaying in the wind. Fang Jie even had the illusion that even if she was in the clouds, she was a ray of breeze that would not be noticed but actually existed.
She was still wearing her very special gown, and she was still barefoot.
There are red wire copper bells tied on the beautiful and perfect ankles, and the sound of the copper bells is still so clear when walking.
"You didn't finish your meal."
Sang Sasha walked up to Fang Xie, seeing Fang Xie looking at her hand, so she also looked at Fang Xie's hand.
"Um."
Fang Jie hummed.
"You didn't have lunch either."
Sang Sa Sa said.
Fang Jie smiled: "Da Quan and I had breakfast in Yanzilou."
"Really eat?"
Sang Sasha asked.
Fang Jie stopped laughing and didn't answer.
"Man is the most complicated creature, because emotions are too complicated."
Sang Sa Sa said.
Fang Jie looked up at Sang Sasa's perfect face, and found that she could be more beautiful under the moonlight. If there was the only place where this woman appeared abruptly and unnaturally, it was by Fang Jie's side. She came from the royal court of the grassland, caught up with Fang Xie, and then did not leave. She said that she carried a mission on her body, but Fang Xie clearly saw that what she carried was a guilt. And this guilt didn't have to exist in the first place.
"Can skipping meals solve the problem?"
"cannot."
"Then why don't you eat?"
"Can't eat it."
"Because you can't eat, Mu Xiaoyao, Shen Qingshan, and Wanyan Yunshu didn't eat much for lunch and dinner today. You think that if you don't show up, you won't affect others, but whether you show up or not, you won't be affected." It's affecting other people. That's selfishness, very selfishness."
she says.
Fang Jie was stunned, and then smiled apologetically: "I originally thought that if I went and lost their appetite, they would be influenced by me, but I forgot that even if I didn't go, they would still be influenced by me."
"As long as a person is still alive, he will affect the people around him. Many people think that they are small, and even if they disappear, they will not affect the lives of others. In fact, people who think this are wrong in low self-esteem, thinking that they are not important to others. And A person who knows that he is important, but still does his own way is more shameful than a person who thinks he is not important and does his own way."
Fang Jie smiled awkwardly: "Or because he thought too much, so he ignored other things."
"It's even more shameless to ignore things around you because of illusory things."
I don't know what's wrong, but Sang Sasha's words today are extraordinarily sharp.
Fang Jie was speechless.
"You have a lot of troubles?"
Sang Sasha was silent for a while and asked.
"A little too much."
"So you don't care about one more thing?"
Sang Sasha asked again.
Fang Jie was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Sang Sasha meant: "I haven't thought about this matter yet."
Sang Sasha thought for a while and said: "This is the most incomprehensible thing for me. No matter what kind of creatures in this world, whether it is flowers, birds, fish, insects, or people, they will not and should not resist the mission of continuing the future generations. Wrong, it’s the mission. Fish will choose the most suitable water area in order to continue their offspring. Flowers will choose the most suitable season to continue their offspring. What is your reason for resisting? Give it to me.”
Fang Jie wanted to speak out his thoughts, but he knew that Sang Sasha couldn't understand.
"I killed a lot of people."
Fang Jie was silent for a long time, then looked at Sang Sasha and said seriously: "So there will be many people who want to kill me. I have been hunted down since I was a child, and I know what it feels like. When I am strong enough, I am alive and can Make all enemies bow down. But I can't kill everyone who wants to kill me, can I? So, when I die, what will my children do? And face endless killing and being killed?"
Sang Sasha was stunned, really stunned.
Fang untied and smiled: "Let's go."
"where to?"
"Call them and have supper."
…
…
The location of Baishui City is very special, like a nail nailed to the territory of the He people. Not far from Baishui City is the endless jungle, and in the jungle is the world of the He people. The He people used to be brilliant, and when the great Sui lion appeared with an irresistible arrogance, they flinched with blood.
Just when they thought the lion was dying and were about to bite back, they didn't expect a young general named Fang Jie to come from the north with a dreadful stream of black iron.
Fang Jie, who was riding a white lion, took a look at this unremarkable border town, and his eyes finally stopped on the broken Sui flag on the city wall. Ever since Fang Jie led his cavalry to rescue the surviving frontier troops in the border towns, the border towns have been empty. But the flag is still there, although it looks so ugly, so dirty, so broken, but still so proud.
The desolation cannot conceal the blood on the flag.
Fang Jie was no stranger to Baishui City. He had heard many stories that happened here when he was in Fan Gu. Just like Fan Gu, there will always be many epic stories in the border towns. Every story makes people excited. Although the frontier army is ordinary, everyone is upright.
"General, our people are ready twenty miles to the north."
Chen Xiaoru leaned over and said in a low voice.
Fang Jie nodded: "The gate of the city must be a member of the Xiao cavalry school. It turns out that the soldiers of the frontier army in Baishui City have been incorporated into the county soldiers, and the guards on the city wall are handed over to them. Bring a thousand cavalry into the city and prepare on the street. , don’t dismount, and be ready to leave at any time. Baishui City is not indestructible. Once the He people attack to save Tuhunduobie, the cavalry will arrive within half an hour. The thousand cavalry are ready to rush out at any time.”
Chen Xiaoru agreed, and then looked at Tuhun Duobie in the distance. He had already seen the hope of life, so Tuhunduo couldn't seem to be overwhelmed with excitement.
"King He."
Fang Jie yelled, Tuhun don't rush the horse over immediately. Although he was not used to riding a horse, his wolf must have turned into a pile of bones by now. Besides, he was in a very good mood now, and he almost didn't think about it because he was not used to it.
"General, what's the matter?"
"When will your people arrive?"
Fang asked.
"I wrote to them and told them to meet in Baishui City in three days. We came three days early, why don't I send someone back to let them come early?"
"Also."
Fang Jie smiled and said: "The preparations for the mobilization of troops against Nanyan are ready, so I was quite anxious, so I came a few days earlier. After entering the city, King He sent someone back to summon your chieftain. Discuss important matters in Baishui City. If the discussion is successful, you will raise troops in Baishui City. I will return to Yongzhou and lead the Black Banner Army to attack from the north. King He will attack from west to east. Within half a month, Dali City will be defeated. "
"good!"
Tuhunduo nodded quickly: "I will send people back after entering the city."
It can be seen that he is really happy.
Fang Jie smiled and urged the white lion to enter the city gate. This time, in addition to 1,000 cavalrymen, 2,000 infantrymen were sent along with Fang, and many of the officers above the squadron were the surviving frontier soldiers in Baishui City. Returning to the place where they once shed their blood, each of them was also a little excited.
After entering the city, Fang Jie climbed directly onto the city wall. Although Baishui City and Fangu City are different, one is surrounded by a primeval jungle with towering green trees, and the other is a desolate frozen land, Fang Xie still feels very close. Perhaps the soldiers with the most sincere feelings for each other are the frontier soldiers. Zhanbing and county soldiers, the relationship between people is not as good as that of frontier soldiers.
Therefore, before the Yanwu Academy exam in Chang'an City, when those frontier soldiers who had never met got together, there was no discomfort in being so enthusiastic.
"Has the flag changed?"
Chen Xiaoru asked.
"No need."
Fang Jie waved his hand: "Beside that flag, just put up the battle flag of our Black Banner Army. Although the flag is broken, it is the symbol of Baishui City."
"General, there are only three thousand troops in the city, if the He people..."
Chen Xiaoru didn't finish his sentence, but his worries were written all over his face.
"With 3,000 people, if I can't withstand the He people's attack for half an hour, then I'm unlucky, and I haven't trained a qualified team. If Xiahou and his cavalry can't arrive within half an hour, it will be I am incompetent, I have led troops for several years, but I don’t even understand my own subordinates.”
"The subordinates are only worried about the general's safety."
Fang Jie smiled: "This is the last thing you need to worry about. If there is any crisis, I will take you out."
"But… "
Chen Xiaoru looked back at the smile on Tuhunduobie's face, hesitated for a while and said: "The subordinates always feel that this person cannot be trusted, and he may not have any good intentions in writing to those chieftains."
Fang Jie couldn't help laughing, patted Chen Xiaoru's shoulder and said with a smile: "Who isn't?"
