Chapter 1140 Look at what color his heart is

Cliff Mountain

I don't know how the name came about, let alone how many years it has been called. Fang Xie had been to Yashan several times when he was in Fangu City, and the first time he lived here with Mu Xiaoxiao for less than a month. At that time, the big dog went to Fan Gu City to inquire about the news, because Fan Gu was very special and would have some dealings with the Mengyuan herdsmen, in case there were people from the Buddhist sect mixed in it, it would be dangerous.

However, the big dog thinks that although this place looks dangerous, it is actually not easy to be noticed. Fang Xie felt that he was hiding and fleeing everywhere anyway, and it was the same everywhere.

But in order to be safe, the big dog still went to Fangu City for almost a month now, and only came in after confirming that there could be no Buddhist people in the city.

The second time he came to Yashan, it was when Fang Xie was the deputy of the scout team, and he brought more than a dozen brothers to Yashan to hunt. Wolf Milk Mountain is too close to Fangu City, and it is possible to encounter Meng Yuan's scouts, so it is safest to choose Yashan Mountain two or three hundred miles away. It will not be known by the law enforcement team in the army, and it will take the trouble to dot it.

Border army scouts, although dangerous, but there are many idle times.

There were a total of more than 30 scouts in the border army of Fangu City, who were on duty in two groups in turn. Of course, this does not conform to the rules of the imperial court, but no one will control it so strictly in the local area. Li Xiaozong was not bad to Fan Gucheng's border army at the beginning, but he also turned a blind eye to such a violation of discipline.

There was nothing big about it, so the scouts were divided into two batches, each batch was on duty for half a month, and there was half a month to relax. As long as there is no such thing as suppressing bandits, basically Li Xiaozong is too lazy to restrain them.

The third time I came to Yashan, it was because of the bandits.

In this place, although the folk customs are simple, the word "tough" must be added to the back. There has always been no shortage of rogues in the northwest, and people who have committed crimes in the city run out, and it is not easy to catch them if they want to catch them in the mountains. There are also horse thieves from the grassland, who are even more ferocious.

At the beginning, Fang Xie and Qiu Xiaoshu Li dared to be them, and once ambushed a wave of horse thieves in Yashan and beheaded more than 30 people.

It was winter, and the blood would soon freeze when it came out. The sound of riding boots stepping on the ice ballast is very special. It was precisely because of that battle that Li Dangdang was promoted to lieutenant, and Fang Xie was promoted to deputy of the scout team. Although in that battle, Fang Xie only hid in the snow nest and fired cold arrows at the horse thief, he didn't dare to kill anyone.

In today's battle of Yashan, although there is no figure of Fang Jie, there is no doubt that this war, which has a huge impact on future generations, is destined to have his name.

"Black Flag Army?"

Meng Lie, who was sitting in the mud, asked.

After seeing that the Han general, who was not thin but extremely weak, nodded, Meng Lie let out a long breath instead: "It's okay, I expect that in the northwest, except for your Black Flag Army, no one will fight like this again." The Black Flag Army under Fang Xie is all crazy. ”

Song regretted not denying that although he had not joined the Black Flag Army for a long time, perhaps shorter than those generals under him, he, like other Black Flag Army generals, did not think that Meng Lie's words were derogatory. Crazy people, sometimes when they describe people, do so with awe.

"Me too."

Song Zi regretted nodding, looked at Meng Lie and asked: "Actually, you are also a madman, in such weather, it is not suitable to send troops, but you still came with men and horses." ”

Meng Lie was silent for a while and then asked, "What are you fighting for?" ”

Without waiting for Song Ziregret to answer, Meng Lie continued: "You must not only be for your own future, but also for your people, the honor of the soldiers, and the dignity of the country, so you should understand why I came." Those are my people, after all, even if we fought each other not long ago. ”

Song regretted that he understood, and he naturally understood.

If he and Meng Lie switch positions, I'm afraid that the choice he made will be the same. No matter what unpleasantness happened with your companions before, when facing foreign enemies, these unpleasantness can be forgotten for a while.

"I didn't mean I shouldn't have brought troops to save them"

Meng Lie raised his head and let the rain wash his face: "I shouldn't have brought it into the pass, if I could have dissuaded the Great Khan at the beginning of the pass, there would not have been the annihilation of the army today." I want to ask you one thing: Is the Great Khan already defeated in the south? Is he still alive? ”

"I don't know."

Song regretted and shook his head: "But I can tell you for sure that Meng Ge was indeed defeated. Because the lord ordered almost all the Black Flag troops on the front line of Lingmen Pass to evacuate, you should have guessed what it meant. As for whether your Great Khan is dead or not, I don't know. ”

"It doesn't matter."

Meng Lie smiled disheartenedly: "After today's battle, my Meng Yuan will no longer have any soldiers to fight, even if the Great Khan is alive, what can I do?" If Meng Yuan's strength is to recover, it will not be possible to do it for fifty or even a hundred years. I just don't understand why the Great Khan went on a crusade in the first place. ”

"Can I die?"

He asked suddenly.

Song Ziregret thought for a while and nodded: "If I capture you alive and send you back to Chang'an City, my military merits may be greater than killing you." But because of what you just said, I promise you. ”

Song Ziregret refers to the sentence: You should understand why I came, after all, they are all my people.

"Thank you"

Meng Lie struggled to his feet, then knelt down and bowed in the direction of the western grassland: "May the wolf god bless the grassland with a hundred years of peace from today, so that my people can regain their vitality." May the wolf god bless Mengyuan from destruction, if Mengyuan is destroyed, there will be no peace in the grassland for a hundred years. ”

"Your wish, maybe the wolf god can't grant it."

Song Zi regretted and sighed: "After today's defeat, the national strength of Mengyuan has been greatly damaged, and there are no soldiers to fight. From today onwards, the grassland will be in chaos, and all departments will continue to struggle and fight, just like my Central Plains a few years ago, the sky will be dark. ”

This world has a long history, and there has never been a shortage of generals who became famous in World War I. For example, Li Xiao, who has been dormant for many years and is famous all over the world for destroying Nan Chen. For example, Luo Yao, who has been decent for more than ten years, has shocked the world by destroying the Shang Kingdom.

Today, in the battle of Yashan, Song Zi's name is destined to be spread in the northwest and even the entire grassland.

But his fame was more than just this victory.

It's because there are too many killings.

This scholar, who seemed to be humble, ordered the slaughter of all Mengyuan prisoners of war after the battle of Yashan, and then kept all the heads in lime with Mengyuan horses and wagons, and sent them all the way to the grassland. In the pastures that once Mandu Latu were piled up dozens of tall mountains of human heads.

From then on, the grassland people heard the name of Song Zi and did not dare to think of the eastward invasion. It was the barbarians who occupied a large area of grassland, and after knowing about this, they immediately sent an envoy to see Song Zirepentance, expressing their willingness to surrender to the Black Flag Army. Song regretted that he refused to see the messenger and let him go directly to Chang'an City

Eastern Xinjiang

After a few years, Fang Xie set foot on this land again.

"General Nalan sent his subordinates to greet the lord."

Lang Jiang, a member of Nalan Dingdong's command, greeted Fang Xie at the easternmost point of Dongting Road, this middle-aged general named Wei Kui was also a soldier of the Great Sui, and he was just a captain at the beginning, because of his accumulated military merits, he has now been promoted to the fourth rank of the Ying Yang Lang general.

"How's the war going?"

That's what Fang Jie's first sentence asked.

Wei Kui talked about the war in Eastern Xinjiang, especially about Mu Xianjun. When Fang Xie heard this name again, he actually had a feeling in his heart that things were wrong.

"When he came down, General Nalan took his men and horses out to rob the grain and grass of Mu Mansion, leaving Mu Xianjun to guard the Phoenix Terrace. Mu Guangling ordered the blockade of all key roads and no longer provided us with food and grass supplies. Because the foreigners' gunboats blocked the river, it was difficult for the fleets that traveled all over the world to send supplies over, and General Nalan had no choice but to go to grab the granary. ”

Wei Kui was afraid that Fang Xie would reproach Nalan Dingdong for falling out with Mu Fu at this time, and his words were all for Nalan to explain. He didn't expect Fang Xie to care about this at all, he just replied lightly and grabbed it, and didn't even ask a word more.

"Mu Xianjun guards the Phoenix Terrace."

Fang Xie smiled: "Nalan has the courage, but he can see it clearly. I don't know the details of this matter, but since Nalan must have a reason for doing so. ”

"That's right"

Wei Kui said: "When I came down, I heard that there was already some movement in the Yang Shun Club in Muping City, and almost 100,000 horses left Muping, and it seemed that they were moving in the direction of Phoenix Terrace. ”

"Yang Shunhui"

Fang Xie repeated the name, and there was a chill in his tone.

"The people of the Xiao Riding School have planned to assassinate Yang Shunhui several times, but because of the limited number of people who can be used, Yang Shunhui is always on guard against being assassinated, and he himself is a good cultivator, so he has not succeeded."

Wei Kui said: "This person obviously knows that what he does is angry and resentful, so the house is heavily guarded, and he has spent a lot of money to buy a lot of Jiangyang Dakou as bodyguards. I heard that he also asked the emperor of the Opru Empire to send him a team of Musketeers who slaughtered the gods. ”

"This person is more harmful to Dongjiang than foreigners."

Wei Kui said: "Because he came out with the worst appearance, and he has broken the jar, and he always shows a posture that I just surrender but I am living a good life, so that many lazy scum also go to him." ”

"Where is the army of Sanjin Hou?"

Fang Xie suddenly asked.

Liao Sheng, who was standing on the side, hurriedly replied: "The news I got yesterday is that the brigade led by Sanjin Hou has now entered Shanhaiguan, which is in the area of Guhai County, Changxing Road, and is still more than 2,000 miles away from us. General Zheng Qiu's sailors escorted the teams of the two generals Chen Dingnan and Chen Yishan, and they had already arrived in Ninghai, because the foreigners' fleet blocked the river, and it was estimated that the war had begun. ”

Fang Xie snorted and calculated the time: "Go to Ninghai first, and I'll see how powerful the foreigner's sailor is." Then I personally visited Yang Shunhui to see what color his heart was. ”
