(ask for next month's ticket)
"I haven't thought about it yet, so I understand..."
Mou Liangbi looked at the pipe hanging at Fang Xie's waist, stretched out his hand and motioned to hand it to him. Fang Xie didn't refuse either. He took it off, stuffed the cut tobacco and lit it. First he took a sip and then handed it to Mou Liangbi: "don't you want to understand?"
"You didn't know I was going to kill you. Why did you suddenly notice it? One day, my advantage was fleeting. How did you think of it? I was really anxious to invite you to the mountain stronghold for a drink, but it doesn't prove that I killed you. I have the advantage, but why did you win?"
"Because you don't know your opponent."
Fang Xie smiled gently: "ask you a question, how many people in the world can achieve the ninth grade in martial arts cultivation, do you know?"
Mou Liangbi shook his head: "I don't know much about martial arts, but I've heard that there are no more than a hundred people above the nine grades in the world. If a practitioner reaches the nine grades, he has the power to move mountains and fill the sea, has the ability to move thousands of miles in an instant, kills people like a back palm, and takes life like a bag, then his majesty should treat him with courtesy."
"No exaggeration, but nine level masters are really strong. I don't know how many people in the world have achieved nine level accomplishments. I only know that there are two nine level masters under my command. You send someone to guard against scouts in the army, but you can't prevent nine level masters from visiting the camp. On the night you send someone to invite me to the stronghold, my people went into the stronghold and found that you would imprison Mou Liangbi. And my hand There are not only the strong in martial arts, but also a wise man named sun Kaidao. He saw at least three doubts from the fact that you invited me to drink, so he speculated that your majesty might have a will. "
"It was the biggest mistake for you to imprison Cui Zhongzhen. If Cui Zhongzhen was still free, I might really come to the appointment."
Mou Liangbi was stunned, then shook his head: "then you sent someone to contact Wanyan Chongde and agreed to let him play a play for you to hold me back. Then you asked someone to pretend to be an imperial envoy to announce an order in public. This is the falsehood and reality in the art of war. I admire it."
"You're welcome"
Fang Xie said, "if you don't want to kill me, why would I want to kill you? I took people to retreat to fan Gu, but I just don't want to quarrel with you. I advised myself not to worry about the rebel xidaying. But you just think I'm not at ease, so it's up to you. These four words are most suitable for you."
Mou Liangbi laughed at himself: "If your Majesty's will doesn't come, I don't have the heart to kill you. You should know what I expect most, so it's really forced by the situation to kill you. I'm different from you. You're still young and I'm 50 years old. If I can't turn over in the northwest battlefield, I'll end up as a commoner in the capital. I've been in prison for more than ten years before I have the chance to revive the past How can ambition give up? "
Fang Xie said, "what you mean by this is that I have reason to forgive you?"
Mou Liangbi said seriously, "I mean, I have reason to kill you."
Because of the cold, Mou Liangbi took a mouthful of his pipe hard, but his body trembled more: "now I finally know that the sages said that talented people come out of rivers and mountains. Before I am old, I can't compare with you young people. Li Xiaozong is cruel enough and you are decisive enough. I'm a notch behind both."
Fang Xie said, "don't blame yourself. It's a waste of your little time."
"I want to be an understanding ghost."
Mou Liangbi was silent for a while and asked tentatively, "it's useless for you to kill me. It's better to leave me to give you advice. Even if I'm in a cage, I can still help you understand many things as long as I don't die. Moreover, the soldiers will say you're lenient. What do you think?"
Fang Xie sighed, "how I want you to point at my nose and scold, and then die generously... In that case, I will occasionally think of you and praise you as a character."
Mou Liangbi shook his head: "who is not afraid of death?"
Fang Xie said, "I'll be disappointed because you didn't die generously, but I won't look down on you because you're afraid of death. There's only one life. Don't really die, but thinking about death in your spare time will scare many people."
"If you were me at this time, would you beg for mercy?"
Asked Mou Liangbi.
Fang Xie said with a smile, "the first thing to tell you is that I am also afraid of death. If you think about it carefully, I may be more afraid of death than you. But the difference between you and me is that I will never beg for mercy when I know there is no doubt that I will die. There is not much left to trample on human dignity. What a pity if the hall that can't die is solemn?"
Mou Liangbi was silent and stopped talking.
Fang Xie got up and handed the small bag containing cut tobacco to Mou Liangbi. Then he took off his cloak and covered him: "I'll send someone to bring wine and vegetables later. You can tell me what you want now."
"You can have wine and meat."
Mou Liangbi answered.
Fang Xie nodded and turned to walk outside the cave.
"Fang Xie, can I ask you something?"
Mou Liangbi looked at Fang Xie's back and said.
Fang Xie stopped but didn't look back: "you ask."
"Do you really have no desire for military power? If you have this military power, you really just work for the imperial court? Are you really loyal to your majesty? Do you really have no wild hope in your heart?"
Fang Xie smiled and walked out.
"Guess?"
He said two words with a smile, and did not manage Mou Liangbi to stride away.
Mou Liangbi looked at the figure of the young man disappearing into his sight. After a long silence, he sighed with relief: "am I losing because my wish is too small?"
……
……
Mou Liangbi is dead.
After all, he was not cruel enough to hit the stone by himself, so he asked the flying fish robe outside the door for help. The flying fish robe looked at him contemptuously, pointed to the stones in the cave and said, "choose one by yourself. This is the only thing you can choose now."
Mou Liangbi looked for it for a long time. The more he went to see it, the more pale his face became. Later, he trembled uncontrollably and vomited out all the wine and vegetables he had just eaten. Looking at his vomit, the flying fish robe couldn't help shaking his head: "I wanted to scold you for killing yourself, but I think you are also a big man after all. It's against morality to be humiliated by others before you die, so I didn't scold, but your appearance now really makes me angry... The more reluctant you are, the more afraid you are, it's better to hurry up."
Mou Liangbi wiped his mouth. After a while, he pointed to a stone the size of a watermelon and said, "that's it."
The flying fish robe nodded and said, "well, if you're afraid, close your eyes. It's only a moment."
Mou Liangbi took off the cloak Fang Xie gave him, then sat up straight and closed his eyes: "please be sharp, thank you!"
"You're welcome"
The flying fish robe went over to pick him up and hit his head against the stone wall twice.
The blood gushed out immediately and dyed a large piece of red on the stone wall.
The flying fish robe threw Mou Liangbi's body on the ground, turned his mouth and said to himself, "you fucking think I'm stupid. How can a suicide candidate be killed by a stone with a big ass? Such a fool can see that there is a problem. If I'm fooled by you, isn't the flying fish robe white in recent years?"
He clapped his hands and turned away.
It was too cold in the northwest. Although the wind in the cave was not strong, the body soon became cold and stiff. Lying there straight, the blood on his head soon formed ice. Maintaining life is a long process, and losing life is so short, just a second.
The next day, Fang Xie asked people to re register the team. After counting the number of soldiers in each battalion, he asked all officers above grade 6 to gather at the school yard. There are tens of thousands of people, and there are hundreds of people with more than six grades. According to the military system of the great Sui Dynasty, the troops and brigades were all officers, but not products. Captain Guo Yi, who leads a regiment of 300 people, is from the seventh grade. This is what the court wants to register and receive the salary of the court.
Because this team is a collection of disabled soldiers, the number of officers is much more than the normally configured army. After all, the survival rate of the general was much higher than that of ordinary soldiers. This is a very cruel fact. The basic reason is not only that the personal quality of generals is higher, but also because their armor is better. Captain Guoyi's leather armor is more than twice as thick as that of ordinary soldiers, and he has goggles.
The world is full of hierarchy, and people at the bottom can easily live in complaints. Some extreme people will think that they are the same people. Why do you enjoy much better treatment than me? Such people often live in such complaints all their life, and even become more and more unbearable. They ignore that others enjoy these benefits because they work harder than him.
The world is ruthless, so it is relatively fair.
Fang Xie stood on the high platform and looked at these people, who would follow him through life and death in the future. He remained silent for a long time, so that the people below looked at each other and wondered what the new leader was thinking.
"I haven't experienced that war, but I know it's not easy for each of you to survive."
After a long silence, Fang Xie finally spoke in a low voice: "You are all officers. After careful consideration, you may find that you may live because your subordinates fought hard to rescue. Therefore, the first thing you should do is to be kind to your soldiers. Now I am standing at the top here, and my life and death will be decided by you in the future, so... I will treat you as you treat your subordinates You. "
"It has been nearly three years since the war. Many people have died in these days, and some will die in the future. Maybe it's one of you or me standing here. When I saw the edict yesterday, I was suddenly terrified because I was afraid I couldn't take you well and protect you well. I thought for a long time and told myself the best way to keep you alive A good way is to stay here until the Imperial Army recovers the whole northwest. "
"But waiting for someone else to save you is always just hope. Have you been away from home for three years and are you homesick?"
He asked.
The following people were silent. After a while, a school captain said a word low: "I want to!"
Fang Xie nodded: "I don't have a home, but I also miss Chang'an city. If we want to go back, we have to do something to make this rebellion end as quickly as possible. When I was in fan Gu, what I thought was that I should guard this small city, because those Mongolian barbarians must go here when they retreat. I have no other idea about these animals who kill my relatives and seize my family property except talking with a knife."
"But now that I have more people like you, I have to consider your life and death."
Fang Xie was silent for a while, raised his head and said solemnly, "if you can trust me, follow me to fight some beautiful battles. Then return to your hometown with glory and reunite with your relatives."
"General, tell us what to do!"
Someone shouted.
Fang Xie looked at these people and said seriously, "just one thing... Where I point the horizontal knife, you can kill me. I promise, that's the way you go home."
