Chen Heng squatted next to the huge footprints and gestured, grinning: "Fat man, who is better between you and Xiao Yijiu?"
Xiang Qingniu looked at his belly in annoyance. He found that the golden belt would soon slip under his belly after being tied. Even if it was tied tightly, it would be of no use. Seeing that he was just playing with the belt, Chen Heng couldn't help but be curious: "Why do you have to keep the belt on your belly? What if it slips under your belly"
"Because I can't see it under my belly!"
Xiang Qingniu said with some emotion: "I didn't care about this belt when I was in the Sui Dynasty, because I didn't have to care about my identity as a Taoist. But it's different when I get to the grassland. I always want to make this belt more eye-catching." There is no need to show that you are different in your own home, but you cannot be confused about your identity in front of outsiders, especially in front of enemies. What I represent now is not myself, but a kind of dignity, you know? "
"so deep"
Chen Ha shook his head to express his incomprehension.
Xiang Qingniu had no choice but to hold the harness with one hand and put the horse on his horse, and then said to Chen Heng: "You ask me and the senior brother who is more powerful, it's really hard to answer you. Before the senior brother went crazy, I I definitely can¡¯t beat him. After Senior Brother goes crazy I still may not be able to beat him.¡±
He paused and said: "But I always feel that it is not madness, but a kind of detachment."
Chen Heng Although Chen Ha was enlightened by Xiang Qingniu with his Taoist mind, the things in his temperament could not be changed after all. Chen Heng couldn't help but chuckled and said: "Our brothers were also crazy before, are they also detached?"
Xiang Qingniu shrugged: "Bah, you are also crazy now."
Chen Hadao: "Fat man, you are being unreasonable. Our madness is madness, and your senior brother's madness is detachment. According to you, the farts we emit are just farts, and the farts of your senior brother are just fragrance?"
Chen Heng said dissatisfied: "You are using the wrong word. Fart is one word and aroma is two words. It is not neat."
Chen Ha nodded in agreement. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't help but get annoyed: "Then you want to think of a word that corresponds to fart? Do you just say it's gas? Fart is gas, and people can't know the comparison of fragrance and smell. Do you have to use The word "Ïã"? But when you say the word "Ïã", who knows that you mean "qi"?
Chen Heng looked at him like an idiot: "Idiot, can't you just say two words? Stinky fart and aroma, that's neat."
¡°Brother is so knowledgeable!¡±
Chen Ha praised it heartily.
Xiang Qingniu slapped his forehead: "I regret taking you out now. If I stay with you for a long time, I'm afraid I will also become stupid."
"fart!"
Chen Heng said angrily: "It's crazy, not stupid!"
Chen Ha nodded: "Yes, he is crazy, not stupid But brother, what is the difference between crazy and stupid?"
Chen Heng thought for a long time and opened his mouth several times but couldn't think of the right words. Then he caught up with Xiang Qingniu: "Fat man, what is the difference between a madman and a fool?"
"The first word is different!"
Xiang Qingniu answered straightforwardly.
¡°Fat man, you are so knowledgeable!¡±
Chen Humph and Chen Ha both praised in unison.
Xiang Qingniu said in pain: "I feel like I have gone crazy I'd better ask you two something, very seriously, so you should try to answer me very seriously. Because this is what I will do next. The decision has a vital impact, so I need the truth from both of you."
"You ask"
"This trip to the west was originally my own business, but I selfishly dragged you two along. Now that I have first understood the truth, I should let you go back to find Xiao Fangjie, but I never said it because After all, I am still afraid of being alone, but I feel that I can¡¯t bear it, because the path I am taking now is very likely to lead to my own death, and if you continue to follow me, you will also die"
"He's so crazy!"
Chen Ha looked at Xiang Qingniu with pity and said to Chen Heng: "Hey, he actually asked such an idiotic question. He seems to be completely crazy, right? Does this need an answer Although you are going to kill Buddha. The people of Zong have nothing to do with us, but we promised you, since what we promised must be done, right? "
Chen Heng nodded: "Do you still need to ask? What do you think of our two brothers?"
"Be friends friends!"
Xiang Qingniu replied.
Chen Heng couldn't help but laugh, and lowered his voice and said to Chen Ha: "I thought he would say that we two are crazy, and if he said that, we would turn our backs.Just leave, he must be stupid. "
"But he said he treated us as friends."
Chen Ha seemed a little depressed: "This is the answer I'm most afraid of."
Chen Heng nodded: "Me too It's really troublesome. If you treat us as friends, we have to treat you as a friend. It's too troublesome. If you want to do something yourself, we have to help you. It's even more troublesome"
Xiang Qingniu sighed: "Can't you give me a more reliable answer?"
Chen Ha was silent for a while, then raised his head and looked at Xiang Qingniu and said seriously: "Your Taoist heart is very powerful. It has made us brothers understand many things and remember many things we have done before. When we were in the Central Plains, we killed Many people have done a lot of evil, but in the end the person who could kill our two brothers didn¡¯t kill us. Why?¡±
Chen Heng said: "Because we are pitiful."
Chen Hadao said: "That's right, because that person thought we were crazy fools and thought we were pitiful so he didn't kill us. We are really lucky."
"but!"
Chen hummed: "If you do something wrong, you have done something wrong."
Chen Hadao: "So, we have to do something right now to make up for the wrong things we did in the past. If the two of us died, people in the world would say oh, what a great event, those two lunatics." Finally died. If I died with you on the westward journey, people would say Oh, those two madmen died What a pity"
Chen Heng asked: "Is this an acceptable reason?"
Xiang Qingniu nodded: "Okay!"
He rubbed his sore nose and touched the wine gourd beside his waist. It was delivered to him at the top of Mangdang Mountain, and it contained half a pot of pear blossom wine. Fang Jie said that if he met Su Tugou on his way west, he would give him half a bottle of wine and tell him that Du Hongxian still misses her manhood. When Xiang Qingniu took the half bottle of wine, he felt it was very heavy. Now he felt that the half bottle of wine was still heavy, but he felt much more relaxed.
Yes, heading west No matter how the process ends, this is not a sad story.
Su slaughtered the dog voluntarily, and so did Chen Heng and Chen Ha.
Three people and three horses were walking towards the west. The setting sun dragged the shadows of the three people out very long. They walked side by side, saying crazy things but smiling stupidly.
"Fat man, what do you think the sun is about to set?"
¡°Like a monkey¡¯s butt!¡±
¡°It doesn¡¯t look like it!¡±
"Why?"
"You are stupidbecause you have no eyes!"
¡¡
¡¡
By the time Fang Jie caught up with the large group of troops led by Wanyan Zhongde, the war situation in Xiping City had already become clear. Wanyan Zhongde and his cavalry were stationed behind a low mountain about sixty miles away from Xiping City. This distance was actually not safe and they could be discovered by rebel scouts at any time.
The imperial army has been attacking Xiping City for more than seven days. Li Yuanshan mobilized all the elite troops deployed in this area and initially tried to encircle the imperial army. Unfortunately, it seems that everything is no longer under Li Yuanshan's control. Fang Jie could imagine how intensely angry and unwilling Li Yuanshan would be at this moment, and he could also imagine that the terminally ill emperor must have a proud smile on his face.
According to Li Yuanshan's plan, after the imperial army is led to Xiping City, his elite troops will block the imperial army as soon as possible, and then the rebels led by Meng Wansui and Yin Poshan will also arrive immediately to attack them. The Sui army formed an encirclement. But before that, the Meng Yuan Langqi who was supposed to appear behind the Sui army did not appear, and no one came. If it was just that Meng Yuan Langqi didn't show up, Li Yuanshan wouldn't be desolate, desperate and angry.
Meng Wansui didn't come, and neither did Yin Poshan.
Therefore, the number of rebels gathered near Xiping City is comparable to that of the imperial army, but their morale is completely incomparable. Although the emperor brought bravery, these brave warriors were full of energy. They all thought that Li Yuanshan had reached the end of his rope, and Li Yuanshan's people thought so too.
"How strange!"
Wanyan Zhongde looked at the map and said puzzledly: "The Meng Yuan wolf cavalry did not appear behind the Sui army, and the sharpest sword arranged by Li Yuanshan was not cut down. If the Meng Yuan people were sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, it can be explained, Kuo Kuo Ketai Menglie waited for Li Yuanshan and the imperial army to be defeated before attacking, but why did Meng Wansui and Yin Poshan's rebels not come? " I never understood what was going on. "
Fang Jie was silent for a while and said: "In fact, it is not difficult to understand. Luo Yao first arranged with Li Yuanshan, and the hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in the left vanguard did not join the rebels to surround the imperial people. Although we are now?There is no news yet about where Luo Yao's men have gone, but Li Yuanshan has lost an ally. Then the Meng Yuan people did not come, and Li Yuanshan lost another ally. Because Li Yuanshan lost these two most important allies, Meng Wansui and Yin Poshan lost confidence in Li Yuanshan. "
"They are no longer sure whether Li Yuanshan will win in the end, so they are reluctant to invest their troops. They are really sitting on the mountain watching the fight between tigers"
Wanyan Zhongde said: "You mean, they are waiting for Li Yuanshan and the Sui Emperor to decide the outcome? If Li Yuanshan wins, they will still be Li Yuanshan's people, and Li Yuanshan will not have many troops at that time. So I don¡¯t dare to fall out with the two of them. If the emperor wins, the two of them will immediately lead an army to surround Li Yuanshan¡¯s remaining soldiers and swear allegiance to the court? "
"No"
Fang Jie shook his head: "Whether Li Yuanshan wins or the emperor wins, Meng Wansui and Yin Poshan will no longer be loyal to anyone because the winning side will be extremely weak after the war and is not as strong as the two of them. , how could the two of them declare their allegiance to anyone? No matter who is the winner, these two people will immediately pounce Now, both of them understand that neither Li Yuanshan nor His Majesty the Emperor will accept them anymore. Simply wait until both sides suffer, and they will be the final winner!"
¡°The Han people have a lot of twists and turns in their minds.¡±
Wanyan Yunshu sighed: "Why are they all distrustful?"
Fang Jie let out a long sigh of relief: "Because it's completely in chaos, everyone thinks they have a chance to become the winner."
"Then what should we do now?"
Wanyan Zhongde asked.
Fang Jie said: "Keeping our original purpose unchanged, we will wait until the battle over Xiping City comes to an end. We only have three thousand cavalry, and we can't even make a splash when we are involved in a battle involving a million troops. There won¡¯t be a fight. Moreover, we were not here to participate in the decisive battle from the beginning.¡±
He raised his head and looked in the direction of Xiping City: "I'm just here to do something I have to do. It has nothing to do with interests or future, it's just that I should do it."
