Fu Shen turned his face like he was flipping through a book, and caught Duan Guihong by surprise. After a long time, he finally resisted the urge to strangle Fu Shen on the spot, and snorted coldly, "When this king served in the Beiyan Army, you were still a newborn baby."
Fu Shen replied, "When I took over the Beiyan Army, you had been raising fish in the southwest for several years."
The eyes of the two people crossed, sparks splashed, and they turned their heads in unison, and at the same time, they slammed each other in their hearts.
Duan Guihong thought to himself: "I don't know how high the sky is."
Fu Shen thought to himself, "Rely on the old and sell the old stuff."
Only at this time can the value of a person like Yan Xiaohan be shown. When two bad-tempered people are at odds with each other, a smooth person is needed to clear up the conflict for them and allow the conversation to continue.
It's a pity that Yan Xiaohan is not here.
Fu Shen exhaled and inhaled secretly to calm his anger. He repeatedly warned himself that he was here to seek the truth, and he couldn't waste his time trying to get angry with the pedantic, arrogant and unreasonable old man, so he turned his face reluctantly. Paved him a worthy step: "My lord has a deep affection for the Beiyan Army, which is very rare."
Duan Guihong hummed his donkey and said, "The Beiyan Iron Cavalry was built by my servants. In terms of seniority, you have to call me uncle."
Fu Shen scolded inwardly, "Old man, he even kicked his nose on his face."
But he said dryly: "Oh. I heard that you and your late father and uncle are brothers and sisters."
Duan Guihong shook his head: "No."
Fu Shen: "Huh?"
"The seniority I'm talking about starts with your grandfather, the former Duke of Yingguo." Duan Guihong slowed down, "During the emperor's reign, Duke Fu served as the military governor of Lingnan and was ordered to quell the Baiyue rebellion in Lingnan. Later, the imperial army won a great victory, and when Duke Fu led people to clear the rebels, he found a young child in the chaotic army. According to the court practice, when the Baiyue rebels were captured, the adults were killed on the spot, and the boys under the age of ten were castrated. After being cut, they were sent to the palace as slaves."
"The child that Duke Fu caught happened to be eleven years old and was very weak. Duke Fu saw him pitiful and moved with pity. He couldn't bear to let this child become a dead soul under the sword, so he opened the door and spared his life and let him go. Make a living on your own.”
When he said this, Fu Shen had vaguely guessed the following.
Duan Guihong also saw it and admitted frankly: "My original name is Feng Yi, I was originally from Baiyue, but I was rescued by Duke Fu and escaped from death. At the age of fifteen, I changed my name and changed my surname and joined Duke Fu, serving left and right, charging into battle, Duke Fu. Treat me like a parent and child, and increase your intentions to promote and cultivate. In the second year of Yuantai, when Tarzhe invaded the border, Duke Fu was transferred to Ganzhou Jiedu, and I went with him, and led troops with Bo Cun and Zhong Yan to gallop across the grasslands to fight against the barbarians."
Bo Cun is the character of Fu Tingzhong, and Zhongyan is the character of Fu Tingxin.
"In the fifth year of Yuantai, Duke Fu drove a crane to the west. It was a time when the southwest was uneasy. Before his death, he presented the table and nominated me as the main general of the army to conquer the west. He led the army to pacify the southwest." Duan Guihong sighed, "I don't dare to be entrusted at the end of my life. Since then, I have been guarding the southwest, and I have not been able to move an inch. It was not until last summer that the emperor decided to send military envoys to the border garrison in the four directions, and then you were in danger at Qingsha Pass. It is no longer the court it used to be.”
"My lord," Fu Shen interrupted him, "Du Leng joined the Beiyan Army two years ago, and I guess you have more than one eyeliner in the Beiyan Army. Are you late?"
Most of the world's evaluations of Fu Shen are heroic and skillful in fighting, and decisive in killing. Hearing this kind of evaluation a lot sometimes makes people think that the Marquis of Jingning can fight and fight, but he is just a martial artist, and his brain may not be as nimble and smooth as those old officials in the officialdom. Although he cannot beat him, he can outsmart him.
Duan Guihong doesn't have much contact with Fu Shen, and has only met once or twice. Most of what he knows about him comes from rumors and hearsay. In addition to his old age, he always feels that the younger generation has not grown up yet, so he always has this in his heart. A bit of contempt.
But he forgot that Fu Shen led the army at the age of 18. If he wasn't smart enough and he didn't have the skills, how could he be able to hold down those veteran generals who believed in their qualifications? Not to mention dealing with foreign enemies, it is a question whether he can gain a firm foothold among his own people.
Fu Shen repeatedly punctured the loopholes in his words, and did not save face for this "uncle" at all. Duan Guihong was driven to a dead end by his sharp questioning and had no way out. He finally put aside his underestimation and gradually looked at him as an opponent: "Did you already know that Du Leng is my person?"
Fu Shen smiled humbly: "It didn't take long. But he's not harmful, he just occasionally spreads news that his medical skills are passable, so I'll keep him."
One party's key personnel put eyeliner on the other's army commander's side, no matter how they see it, they have ulterior motives, and this matter must not be good for others. However, Fu Shen knew Duan Guihong's character well, the old thing is a dead duck with a tough mouth. Du Leng came to Beiyan Army mainly to help him, so Fu Shen turned a blind eye to this and kept him until now.
"My lord has two hubs in the dark line in the north, one is Du Leng, and the other is Daoist Chunyang. After Qingsha Pass was abducted, I think it was Du Leng who reported the news, and Daoist Chunyang could find the Daoist before my people. Arrow. Anyway, I still have to thank the lord for this."
Duan Guihong said: "Since you know that the emperor is afraid of you, and even kills you, you still want to save him at the longevity banquet? If you can't be righteous, Jia Ci will not be in charge of the army, and the kindness of women will kill you sooner or later."
Fu Shen sighed: "When you use me, you are called 'The Master of Kindness and Righteousness', and when you don't use me, you are called 'Women's Kindness'. I am benevolence or kindness, and you can't decide if you touch your upper lip to your lower lip."
"You..." Duan Guihong said angrily, "I don't like my father!"
These words had no attack on Fu Shen at all. He casually replied, "Yes, it really doesn't look like that."
Duan Guihong sat for a while, and suddenly said, "You are not like your father, but more like your second uncle, right?"
Fu Shen: "Maybe?"
Duan Guihong said: "Didn't you come to ask me about Qiu Yebai? It's okay, I'll tell you an old story."
Fu Shen made a "please speak" gesture.
Duan Guihong is talking about the past events that happened in the fourth year of Yuantai when the Beiyan Army and the East Tatars were at war.
In the autumn of that year, Fu Tingxin was accidentally injured by a poisonous arrow from a Tartar assassin. He was seriously injured and almost died. At that time, the whole army was helpless, and even the imperial doctor invited from the capital was unable to recover. Fortunately, Ganzhou is not far from Yizhou, where the West Tartars live. The two sides have always had friendly exchanges. There is a West Tartar traveling doctor who has a little friendship with Duan Guihong. Ask him to come and see a doctor for Fu Tingxin.
The East Tartar and West Tartars were originally the same clan, but were forced to divide into two tribes because of the war. The West Tartar travel doctor invited by Duan Guihong really recognized this poison.
There is a kind of blue scorpion on the grassland, which is extremely precious and hard to find. Although Youyi couldn't find the corresponding antidote, he had seen a herbal medicine brought by the Tianfang caravan. The flowers were white as snow, and the juice after grinding the fruit was like milk. Tianfang people had used this medicine to cure them from desert poisoning. Scorpion Sting Companion. He matched Duan Guihong and contacted a Tianfang businessman. After much tossing around, Duan Guihong inquired about the name of the herbal medicine, and under the guidance of Tianfang merchants, he found plants and seeds in the southern border.
The herbal medicine that saved Fu Tingxin's life was Qiu Yebai.
Qiu Yebai is very strange. If only the fruit juice is taken orally, it can anesthetize and relieve pain and relieve all snake and scorpion venoms, but the possibility of addiction is very small; but if it is concocted and smoked, it will become addictive "Bai Lu San" ". Moreover, people who smoke Qiu Yebai for a long time will suffer from internal diseases, and very few people may eventually contract diseases similar to the plague, which cannot be cured and can only wait for death.
What is even more terrifying is that once this herb takes root, there will be no grass around it. The autumn night white in the southern Xinjiang grows in the cracks of the rocks in the deep mountains. The locals regard it as a poisonous weed. The fire must be completely burnt out to prevent it from spreading on a large scale.
Duan Guihong said: "In the fifth year of Yuantai, all the Alam tribes in the East were destroyed."
Fu Shen's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "What does the lord mean?"
"Zhongyan is not as kind and soft-hearted as you think," Duan Guihong said directly and ruthlessly, "Do you think it is enough to learn his kindness by leading the army as a general?"
After Fu Tingxin recovered, he took all the herbal seeds collected by Duan Guihong, and sent people to secretly sneak into the Alambu grassland to spread them in large quantities. A few months later, Qiu Yebai sprouts and grows, and the grasslands in Al-Mube are destroyed, and a large number of sheep die. Fu Tingxin also arrested a group of East Tartarians and asked them to drink water mixed with the blood of the sick before returning them to the tribe. As a result, many Alam tribesmen contracted the disease, and were finally swept away by the resurgent Beiyan Iron Cavalry, resulting in the extermination of the tribe.
eye for eye.
"In the legends of the Tatar people, the symbol of the plague is 'impermanent grass', which is the white autumn night." Duan Guihong said coolly, "Do you now know why the Tatars hate your Fu family so much?"
This piece of history is not widely circulated. One is that it involves secrets, and the other is that it hurts the world, so even historians dare not write it. Fu Shen has been dealing with the people of East Tartar for many years, and he has also heard about the "impermanent grass". He thought it was just a legend, but he didn't expect such a thing to exist.
In the territory of Alambu, a fire burned for several days and nights. The swaying flowers of the "impermanent grass" were swallowed by the firelight, but its shadow shrouded the grassland forever.
Duan Guihong said: "This herb was first discovered by the people of the sky, and it is called 'Di Ye'an', which means 'hypnosis', and in the Southern Territory language, it is called 'Sanefu', which means—"
"The sleeping god of death."
