The meeting place was not in Daigunhei Castle, but in Wuzhou Mountain in the south of the city.

Wuzhou Mountain is very distinctive, the mountain is not high, but more than 20 zhang, the top of the mountain is gentle and swinging, the southern foot of the mountain, a ten-mile long river flows calmly from the mountain, now it has been completely frozen, the ice is crystal clear, you can pedestrian. On the north bank of the river, there is a cliff wall one or twenty meters high, which is continuous and lasts for several miles, and the snow accumulates on it, like a great wall of ice and blood in the north.

Although it is still early to build the Yungang Grottoes, this place is already a good place to "hide the wind and water", the mountains shelter the cold north wind, the military camp is set up here, and a bunch of blazing fire can be regenerated, it can be full of warmth.

When Fusu was led here by a counselor named "Yellowstone", Heifu was already waiting here with a fire.

But when old people who haven't met for a long time meet, there will always be some embarrassment at first, especially when the two have their own careers and once had a dirty misunderstanding.

The silence lasted for a while, and finally it was Heifu who broke the embarrassment.

"Coming?"

"Here we are."

Heifu watched Fusu be destroyed by the wind and frost, and his face was no longer immature, once upon a time, when the two met in the Northland, they were still heroic.

But in a blink of an eye, they were all middle-aged, Fusu had lost a lot of weight, and his sideburns were even a little white.

"The eldest son."

Heifu couldn't help but stand up and asked about the past: "I received the letter I sent to Xianyang from the south to send Ji Ying back then?" ”

Fu Su bowed: "I got it, there was a warning inside, but it was still too late." ”

"After the accident, why don't you go to Lingnan to vote for me?"

Fusu shook his head: "At that time, you were also very lucky, and the situation forced you to go south, not to mention, at that time, I had lost my fighting spirit, my eyes were confused, I didn't know where I should go, and even my wife and children were abandoned......"

Heifu shook his head: "Your son Gongsun Jun is safe and sound, he 'mourns' for you in Lishan, he has no worries about food and clothing, and he has never been stupid, but he is very smart." ”

"I thanked him on his behalf...... Xia Gong. ”

Fusu waved at Heifu, which was a silent thank-you.

There was silence again, until Hefu asked the most crucial point.

"You were disheartened at the beginning, so why did you finally come back?"

Fusu did not answer this, and he found that the "Huangshi" who brought him here and the guards who escorted him here had all retired. Only on the top of the cliff of Wuzhou Mountain, there are more than ten people patrolling from afar, and they are standing at a distance of 100 paces with bows and crossbows, not only unable to hear the conversation between the two, but also able to protect Heifu's safety at all times......

Heifu also noticed Fusu's look when he looked up at the crossbowman in the distance, and immediately smiled:

"Don't mind, I'm full of sincerity for this meeting."

"You know, when I saw Zhong Liyi and Zhang Liang in the past, I made his hands shackled, but you are the only one who can meet me alone as a free body."

Fusu retracted his gaze, looked closer, and said, "Not to mention the material officer on the cliff, you are not 'alone' here, right?" ”

The reason why I say this is because there is a half-sized swarthy dog on the left and right of Heifu, who is lying on the ground and gnawing on meat and bones......

Heifu patted the two dogs and said unashamedly: "

"Since the start of the army in Yunmengze, although I have also participated in many battles, I have gradually only relied on strategizing, and there are very few people who fight on their own. I'm afraid that if something happens, I won't be able to beat you. ”

So he called two helpers......"

Fusu shook his head and said: "The black man I knew in the past was decisive and brave, but he was not a person who was afraid of death. ”

"The situation has changed, and I have to spare my life."

Heifu laughed at himself:

"The generals and ministers under my command all say that I am ...... Be brave when you meet a big enemy, and be cowardly when you encounter a small enemy. ”

Fusu smiled dumbly: "What is Fusu, who has already been sacrificed once by Xia Gong, a big enemy, a small enemy?" ”

"Or is it a thorn in your eye, a thorn in your flesh, a dead man?"

"It's an old friend." Heifu stretched out his hand and asked Fusu to sit down a few steps away.

"Old friends who understand right and wrong, and can sit down and talk."

"Fusu, Fusu, you think so too, otherwise, how can you help me fight the Huns, cook Kuai, and finally come alone?"

Indeed, when Fusu went south, his subordinates were quite dissuaders, because Chen Ping had deep doubts about what he did to Liaodong, and felt that Fusu had already made his attitude clear against the Xiongnu, and there was no need to take any more risks.

"The black man is greedy, if the king goes, he will be a sheep in the mouth of the tiger, and there will be many auspicious ones!"

But Fusu only ordered the deputy general Gao Cheng to bring the more than 10,000 Liaodong horsemen who came here back to Guangning (Zhangjiakou) a hundred miles to the northeast to wait - Fusu did not take Liu Ji with him on this trip, and left him in Liaodong to guard against the infestation of bandits in southern Liaoning.

And he himself, riding alone with the messenger of the Heff, went south.

Do you do this because of trust?

No, in addition to trust, there is also a clear understanding of the situation.

Fusu knew very well that if he adopted a confrontational posture towards Heifu, it would definitely be a war in which the Liaodong regime might survive this winter, but it would definitely not survive next autumn......

Since he decided not to fight, he could only try, sit down and talk, Fusu hopes that he can strive for a relatively fair future for the people of Liaodong......

Heifu pointed to the copper kettle on the stone table in front of Fusu: "The hospitality is not good, and there are no maids, this is the water that is boiled after the frozen riverbed under Wuzhou Mountain, and pour it yourself." ”

After speaking, he poured a lamp, drank it slowly, and said with a smile: "Look, it's not poisonous, of course, if Chen Ping is here, he will definitely feel that taking the opportunity to poison you to death is the best choice......"

It's okay not to mention Chen Ping, but when Chen Ping is mentioned, Fusu can't help but clench his fists.

The person he hates the most, one is Kui Che, and the other is Chen Ping!

Fusu said solemnly: "In the past two years, Chen Ping was in Jiaodong, but through merchants, he sent ordnance to the Yan Dynasty, so that he joined forces to stop me, and even recruited a group of thieves to constantly harass Liaodong, trapping more than ten cities, killing and plundering tens of thousands of people. ”

He looked at Heifu: "But I heard that Jun praised Chen Ping, not only made him the Marquis of Yangwu, ranked Jiuqing, but also handed over all the Chu land to him to govern?" ”

"As far as the people of Liaodong are concerned, as far as you are concerned, Chen Ping is indeed a big mistake."

But Heifu spread his hands and said:

"But for me, for Jiaodong, for the whole world, I have made great contributions in Chen Ping."

"If it weren't for Chen Ping's tricks, it wouldn't have gone so smoothly. Liaodong's losses are not necessarily greater than the number of people Peng Yue died in Pengcheng, if now, Peng Yue uses this as an excuse to ask me to deal with Chen Ping, should I agree, or agree? Should Chen Ping be punished or rewarded? ”

Chen Ping is a sinner in Liaodong, a bad person, and a conspirator, but he is also a hero, a prince who must be rewarded by Heifu!

"Chen Ping is at fault, but the fault is that at that time, the east and west were isolated, Chen Ping could not get my orders, he could only make his own decisions, this person likes the art of conspiracy, he thinks, the relationship between me and you, like Yiwu and Chong'er, there can only be one person who succeeds, whoever makes the first move, who will have an advantage!"

Just like the two hunters in the dark forest, Chen Ping pulled the trigger for Heifu, otherwise he and Fusu would not have such a huge disparity in strength......

Fusu sneered: "So, this matter, more than 10,000 lives, was so lightly revealed?" Heifu thinks that this is an insignificant pain before the world is decided? ”

"That's right, it's like flipping through a paper book, this page can only be turned here!"

Heifu admitted: "Today's situation is that it doesn't matter who does it first, and the process doesn't matter, what matters is what the final result is!" ”

"Fusu, from the time you claimed to be the king, I knew that you were thinking of me summoning the news, and you were willing to do the things of Zhou Zhao's republic and rule the world, but looking at the current situation, it is obviously impossible."

"If today has been unified, the remnants of the six countries have been wiped out, and the remnants of the Huns have fled north in a hurry, there are forty-eight counties in the world, and I have taken forty-five, but there are only three counties in your hands. I have more than 400,000 soldiers under my command, dozens of marquis in the Guannei, and you only belong to 20,000 or 30,000 people......"

Fusu frowned: "Are you threatening me with many generals?" ”

Heifu laughed: "No, it's not a threat, but I want to tell you that I have a hand pushing me forward behind my back, more than ten times more than you." ”

"And once I disappoint them, the backlash I will encounter will be more than ten times higher than the price you paid for giving up all this!"

"You should be able to understand that today, we are no longer just living for ourselves, fighting for ourselves!"

Fusu acquiesced, behind him, why don't there be countless pushers?

But he still couldn't accept that Hefu said all this so easily!

But this is the end of the old story, and the next thing is the drama that Heifu invited him to come: although they both claim to be Qin, but the two sides are two different regimes, if they don't use the situation of attacking and fighting, how can they become one and make the world truly unified?

The answer is obvious.

"There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two tigers in the mountains."

Heifu put down the cup: "For the stability of the world, among you and me, someone has to back down, and push the virtuous to make the ability!" ”

"Whoever has less behind the push, who will let it, right?"

Fusu was surprised, but he was still a little disappointed, and sighed: "Heifu, Heifu, do you want me to give you this world, this country, and the seven hundred years of society surnamed Ying?" ”

Heifu was noncommittal: "No, it's not the position, it's not the society, it's not the country." ”

"You have never sat in the position of the world."

"Ying's surname is Sheji, your brother Hu Hai has been completely lost."

Heifu opened his arms, as if to encompass heaven and earth in his bosom:

"As for this splendid country, it has already been in the competition for all kinds of 'heroes' and 'heroes', fragmented, it took me three years to clean up and patch it up little by little, as for you, Fusu, you just picked up three counties, how can you talk about giving way?"

Fu Su was stunned, but smiled dumbly: "This sophistry is also a crooked reason, but all of the above, I do have nothing, neither the throne, the society, nor the country, so what else can I give to you?" ”

"Yes."

Heifu approached him and stared at Fusu's eyes: "Fusu, let me ask you again, you are already discouraged and depressed, why can you go away to Haidong and rise again?" ”

"Do you want to be the emperor?"

"Do you want to inherit the legacy of Qin Shi Huang?"

Fusu also got up, looked at Heifu, and gave him an answer.

"It's for atonement."

"It's my mistake that caused chaos in the world and chaos among the people, I want to clean up this old river and mountain from scratch!"

"Not bad."

Heifu clapped his hands and said: "What I want you to give up is this sin, naturally, there is also the glory behind it!" ”

"And the responsibility to rule the world!"

"What a big breath." Fusu was a little touched, but shook his head again:

"But you can't even punish Chen Ping and treat everyone in Liaodong and Liaoxi fairly, how do I know that even if you can treat the world well for a while, will you repeat the mistakes of the past in the future?"

"Of course I can!"

After saying this, Heifu was dumbfounded, and after a long time, he said slowly:

"Because I not only know the rise and fall of the first king for 3,000 years, but I also know the gains and losses of the queen for 2,000 years......"

He pointed at Fusu, his eyes full of regret: "Even, knowing you, Fusu's past destiny!" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

After some words that made Fusu feel inexplicable, Heifu looked at the cliff wall of Wuzhou Mountain, staring at the soldiers here from a distance, and couldn't hear any sound here, and he and Fusu were close to him.

There were also two dogs who had finished gnawing on their bones and were napping.

One person, two dogs, that's the whole audience.

The mountain walls are blocked, the river is condensed, and what happens here seems to be frozen forever.

What a great place to tell your secrets......

Heifu smiled: "Fusu, you and I are here, how about making a deal?" God knows, you know and I know! ”

"What deal?" Fusu was full of doubts.

"It's simple."

Heifu whispered, "I want to use a truth. ”

"A lie for you!"

……

Guangning County, Shanggu County, is the Zhangjiakou of later generations, this place is a gap in Yanshan, the only way to lead from Yandi to Saibei: the left and right are faint mountains, the north is the reckless and vast earth, the wax moon is about to end, the snow has not melted, the scarce and withered grass and trees, scattered dotted with some walled cities, desolate and barren, is the main theme here.

Only the Liaodong cavalry who were ordered to retreat west here made it a little lively here.

But their hearts have become heavier and heavier, because the "summoning king" Fusu has been going south for five days, and there has been no news so far.

"Could it be that the king has already been killed by that black man?"

"I can't say, Chen Ping can wreak havoc in Liaodong, and Heifu will definitely be able to kill the king!"

"What a loving man the king is, if this is the case, we will fight for our lives, and we will fight to the last soldier to avenge the king!"

It wasn't until a lonely cavalry appeared outside the garrison of the Liaodong Army that Gao Cheng and the Liaodong cavalry and the Haidong soldiers burst into cheers!

"It's the king who is back!"

Compared with before going south, Fusu's description has not changed much, it doesn't look like he has been mistreated, but his spirit is not quite the same.

He was silent, and when he dismounted, he was silent about what had happened at the meeting with Hef, and as he toured the barracks, he was thoughtful, stunned, shaking his head at one moment, nodding his head at another, as if thinking of something that he could not believe, but which he could not tell anyone else.

It wasn't until he inspected the complete battalion that Fusu made up his mind and asked Gao Cheng to gather the three armies.

"I have something to say to the people!"

More than 10,000 Liaodong and Liaoxi cavalrymen, who had followed Fusu for two years, stood under the city of Guangningyi, looking up at their king, the orthodox successor of Qin Shi Huang, like a bright moon illuminating the son of this dark and troubled world.

What will Fusu say to them. Is it to take up arms and continue to fight against Heifu? Many people are skeptical, but there are also many people who are willing to continue fighting in order to summon the king!

But as soon as Fusu spoke, everyone thought they had heard it wrong!

"From beginning to end, I've been lying to the second and third sons!"

His voice was a little hoarse, but more determined!

Fusu made a long gesture to everyone, asking people to repeat his words aloud, and the next words were transmitted to everyone's ears.

"I'm not Fusu!"

"The real son Fusu has long since died!"

The noise suddenly sounded, but everyone's exclamations, puzzlements, and doubts were suppressed by Fusu with raised hands.

Five days ago, he got the truth from Hef.

And now, in exchange, it's time to declare a lie!

A lie that wants him to lose his name and identity after losing his father, status, country, and wife!

But it is also a lie that can make him die well.

A lie that can unify the world peacefully!

Facing the rising sun in the east, Fusu smiled, this is a smile of unloading the burden and relieving everything.

"My real name is Bai Zhen, a native of Longxi County, and I am Gongzi Fusu, a stand-in when I was in Xianyang!"

"I'm just, Fusu's shadow!"
