Chapter 618: How Many Spring and Autumn Dreams in the World The meeting hall seemed a little deserted. Although there were many people, the atmosphere was so. It was a big event for two feudal officials from the Sui Empire to visit in person, but here, they were just ordinary guests. The servants served tea politely and with respect, but these two frontier officials could see that the people here did not have the slightest respect for them. The young man sitting in the handsome seat also had a gentle smile on his face and spoke very politely, but they could also see that this young man had no respect for them at all. ¡°Perhaps because of the coldness hidden under the politeness but exposed, both Chi Haonian and Zhong Xin felt a little uncomfortable. The two of them looked at each other, not knowing what to say. For people of their status, wherever they go, they are not cheered by and supported by others. Even when the Sui Dynasty was at its strongest, when they went to Beijing to report on their duties, the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty would greet them with greetings. So for a moment, Zhong Xin even wanted to walk away. But people like them would naturally not really do this. "I have walked along the way. General Fang is really good at running the army." In order to relieve the embarrassment, Chi Haonian smiled and said: "The soldiers are strong and the generals are well-trained. You know the generals by observing the troops. This alone shows that General Fang He is an outstanding person. When General Fang went to Yongzhou with his holy mission, I wanted to go and visit him, but I was busy with official duties and couldn't make time. I felt so sorry that I finally saw General Fang today. It¡¯s a pity.¡± Fang Jie smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯ve heard about Sir¡¯s reputation for a long time, but I¡¯ve been traveling all over the place, so I didn¡¯t have a chance to see you. Today, my Black Flag Army camp is full of glory. Everyone is very happy.¡± After saying a few polite words, Chi Haonian could not find a suitable starting point to talk about business. He glanced at Wu Daodong, who was sitting opposite and drinking tea with his head lowered, and suddenly found a way. . "The last time I met Sanjinhou was six years ago when I went to Chang'an to meet the saint. After six years of absence, Sanjinhou's demeanor remained the same. I didn't expect to see my old friend again in General Fang's camp, and I felt even more sad. I'm so happy." Wu Yiyi smiled and said, "Last time, I left in a hurry and didn't say a few words. We can't leave in a hurry when we arrive at Zhuque Mountain today. The general has already ordered people to prepare a banquet. "I won't stop until I get drunk." "Okay." Chi Haonian smiled, and the other party clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, General." He naturally changed the previous title of the other party from General Fang to General, now that we are here. The most basic principle is that one should follow other people's wishes when it comes to their territory. Regardless of whether this general is justified or not, it is no longer important in this world. With the strength that Fang currently has in hand, not to mention claiming to be a general, even if he proclaims himself a king, who can take care of it? Zhong Xin originally thought that Fang Jie was in the Black Flag Army camp outside Liangcheng, but later thought that Fang Jie was in the Black Flag Army camp outside Hui'an City. Only now did I know that this rising star of the Sui Dynasty had been in the Zhuque Mountain camp all along. As a result, Zhong Xin actually felt very uncomfortable. There is a feeling of being looked down upon by others, as if I am facing a formidable enemy and have trouble sleeping and eating, but others are always at home as if nothing is wrong. What made him feel most uncomfortable was that even though he paid enough attention to it, he still fell into Fang Jie's trap. Fang Jie deployed his troops in Liangcheng, Hui'an, and Wuxing, and sent Sun Kaidao, who refused to give in, to negotiate seriously with them. But in the blink of an eye, a cavalry unit from the Black Flag Army was already there. Beihui Road is going around in circles and causing chaos. That cavalry was not there to capture cities and territory or even to seize money and food, it was just to capture people and make them sick. Fang Jie could be considered a hero now, but he actually looked down upon him for actually sending an elite cavalry team to do something that only bandits would do. But looking down on him is still looking down on him. This method really gave him a headache. Chi Haonian said to Wu Yiyi: "When you and I met in the capital that day, I once lamented that the Great Sui Dynasty lacked nothing except a few young talents who made people convinced from the heart. At that time, the Great Sui Dynasty It's still stable, but there are really no outstanding people among the younger generation. Who would have thought that after I said that, the name of the general began to be known to everyone, and among the young people, he should be the general. "Wu Yiyi smiled: "I remember that I told the adults that there was no shortage of young and promising people in the Sui Dynasty, but the current situation was such that most of them were buried. In comparison, it is still far behind after all. " Chi Haonian finally found an opening to open up the topic, so naturally he couldn't let it go: "Yes There was trouble in southern Xinjiang a while ago, and I sent people to Jiangnan to ask for help. Those leaders The young general of the army said that he did not dare to leave his post without the emperor's order. In fact, the first reason was that he did not have the courage and spirit to defend the country from the enemy.If they have damaged their own strength, such people will not have any great achievements in the end" At this point, the topic seems to have become clear. Zhong Xin smiled and said: "The general has strong soldiers and horses, and he will serve the imperial court in Huangyang Road was cleared of bandits. In less than a year, the banditry in the entire Huangyang Road was eliminated. How can those of them compare with the general. "Although he felt uncomfortable in his heart, his words could not help but make others feel comfortable. Fang Jie pretended to be stunned: "What did the two adults just say? Troubles in southern Xinjiang? " He took a sip of tea and asked, "What happened in southern Xinjiang? " "It turns out that the general doesn't know yet! " Chi Haonian stood up and told angrily about Murong Shai and King He's joint attack on Pingshang Road. His words were fierce and his expression was indignant. If you only looked at him now, no one would doubt that he was not a loyal minister of the Sui Dynasty. . His expression of indignation made people feel like he wanted to bite Murong Sha to death. After hearing this, Fang Jie banged the table and said angrily: "That's unreasonable! Murong Shai was indeed a shameless villain! If it weren't for the kindness of His Majesty, the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, Nanyan would have become the twenty-fifth country of the Sui Dynasty! And those humble He people, do they still want to restore their status in the Shang Kingdom? ! "Chi Haonian can act, but he doesn't know that the guy sitting in the handsome seat has been singing Baimenlou with a group of old men in the park since he was a child. How can he be bad at talking about his mind and acting skills? Three Hundred Miles South of Yongzhou Mei Zhu The once prosperous town has been completely destroyed by the He people. It is in ruins. The flames are still rising on the roof. In the corner, there are women's miserable wails and the He men's laughter. A naked woman ran out crying. However, she was chased by several He men, kicked and kicked, and pulled back to the darkness. Her pleas had no meaning anymore. From the gaps in the crowd, she could see two white thighs being forcibly separated. They kept kicking and beating to no avail. At the entrance of the town, a group of He people laughed wildly and slaughtered the cattle, then hung them on the fire and roasted them. Soon the smell of the meat wafted out, and the men of the He tribe sang a strange tune. While dancing around the roasted cow, he was full of joy. A He man standing on the roof suddenly noticed some movement in the firewood pile at the corner. He immediately pointed and shouted in that direction, and there were immediately a dozen He men. Running over, someone tried to pull the pyre away but was stopped. After they chatted, someone immediately lit the pyre. When the flames rose, a little girl could be seen trying to get out, but was used by the He tribe men. The stick was pushed back until the flames went out. Someone used a wooden stick to peel away the ashes, revealing two charred corpses hugging each other, but they could still vaguely tell that they were a teenager. The girl held a four or five-year-old boy in her arms. The men of the He tribe laughed, and some people unbuttoned their pants and peed on the corpse. The whole town was filled with such violence that it made people shudder. The men of the He ethnic group walked into the town surrounded by people. There were more than a dozen women kneeling side by side in the open space at the entrance of the village. They were tied tightly and had rags stuffed in their mouths. They looked at these women wearing animal skin clothes in horror. The He people didn't even dare to struggle. The chieftain walked around in front of the dozen women, pointed at the two most beautiful girls among them, and then turned away. Someone immediately came up and held them back. The two girls followed the chieftain into the village. When the chieftain left, the He men cheered, and hundreds of people rushed to snatch the remaining women. Soon, their clothes were torn and their hair was torn. After being caught, there were scars all over his fair body. A man in a white robe stood quietly in the distance and watched all this, as if it had nothing to do with him. His face was calm and his eyes were calm. There is no emotion, no sadness, no joy. ¡°Master, isn¡¯t this a bad idea? "Behind him stood dozens of men in linen robes, holding not the spears used by the He people but the standard horizontal swords of the Sui Dynasty. They called the man in white robes the leader, and their tone was very Respect. ¡°Not good? "The man known as the leader shook his head and said calmly: "There is no good or bad, no good or evil in this world, only success or failure. These He people have been oppressed for hundreds of years. If I don't let them vent their resentment, how can they be used by me? What I want has never been a sect, but to restore the glory of my Great Shang Empire. That bitch Murong Shai of Nanyan defrauded everything from me, and the Sui people destroyed my country I want to take it back, exactly as it is. ¡± "Let them vent. They originally had a very distinguished status more than a hundred years ago and were good friends of our Great Shang Kingdom. But after the Sui people came, they became slaves. If it were you, The humiliation of more than a hundred years will sometimes break out. Only if we let them benefit will they be obedient." "But" Someone shook his head: "But the disciples don't understand, these people should be our relatives, right. "The man who was called the leader was stunned for a moment, then slowly walked over and put his arm around the shoulder of the person who asked the question: "Your ancestor was a third-grade hussar general of the Great Shang Kingdom, and died in a decisive battle with the Sui people. , He shed the last drop of his blood for the Great Shang Kingdom, but he did not bow his head in the end I really didn't expect you to say such things, it was so disappointing." He poked the man's heart with the handle of the knife: "In order to rebuild the Great Shang, we can sacrifice, and these people who have surrendered to the Sui Dynasty will naturally have to sacrifice as well. I don't want to hear such words again in the future, I just want you to remember my order and your mission." He let go of his hand. , the man squatted down in pain. The leader looked to the north and opened his arms: "Yongzhouthe capital of Great Shang, I'm coming back." The remaining people looked at each other, and no one dared to say anything more. The fire in the town was still burning, and the He men were still laughing, but no other sounds could be heard. A young and beautiful corpse, covered in wounds and covered with dirt, was dragged out of the corner and thrown into the fire. She raised her head and opened her eyes, as if glaring fiercely at the man in the white robe.
