"That person has talked to you?"

While the army was resting in the middle, Cui Zhongzhen found Fang Jie and sat down next to him and asked.

Fang Jie knew who the person he was talking about was, and shook his head with a smile.

"Is this just that?"

Cui Zhongzhen asked again.

"that's all"

Fang Jie nodded.

"He is the well-deserved coach of this team. After the prince leaves, he should come to command. You see, the situation is good now... The generals have no objection to the command of Master Ting. Only when the team is united can they win battles. This is an eternal truth. The enemy cannot defeat us, but he is intrigued by such trivial matters."

After hearing Fang Jie's words, Cui Zhongzhen couldn't help but shake his head: "When I was a teenager, my husband taught me many allusions, which made me experience the intrigue. I didn't think so at that time, but it was because I was young and played, but I didn't think about it carefully. The more I got to know the coldness and cruelty behind these allusions. Which smiling person was not lying behind countless unjust corpses?"

Fang Jie nodded, without saying anything.

"The gentleman I taught back then was a person who had a deep understanding of this kind of power and tricks. He was an aide to a different general in the imperial court's Pingshang Army. This other general came from a poor family, but was extremely brave and smart. When the army forced the Shang army to fight to the decisive battle south of Mangdang Mountain, he came up with a solution. But in the end, did this great contribution fall on the second prince?"

Cui Zhongzhen grabbed a yellowed grass and held it in his mouth: "It was the time when the princes were competing for favor. The second prince begged the queen mother to plead for love. The first emperor agreed and asked the second prince to be the general manager of the army and the Grand Marshal of the Army He Ruolanshan to march south. At that time, the other general was the one who assigned to protect the second prince. He told the second prince his thoughts. The second prince praised him and told him that if he had a great victory in this battle, he would have recommended him in front of the late emperor himself."

"This is very happy. I feel that the day for his success is coming. He didn't wait long to wait for the news that his strategy was adopted, and then he began to wait for the day when he was introduced to His Majesty by the second prince. The decisive battle was very fierce, but because of the proper planning and the Great Sui army was far more elite than the Shang army. The 160,000 Great Sui army killed more than 200,000 Shang army without leaving any armor."

"However, until after the Shang Dynasty, the other general did not wait until the second prince fulfilled his promise to him. Later, he heard that the second prince's name was first in the memorial for merit given by Grand Marshal He Ruolanshan, and all the merits of that battle were attributed to the second prince. Perhaps He Ruolanshan did not know his name at all. At that moment, the other general understood how idiotic he was."

"Because of this battle, the second prince was even more appreciated by Your Majesty. Later, the second prince found an excuse to kill the other general because he was afraid of the greed for merit. For the court, the death of a fifth-ranked person would not have any effect. Even the big people would not take this seriously. He died inexplicably but no one cared about it. The gentleman is a smart man. He was ready to leave since he knew that the second prince was greedy for merit. After hearing that the other person was executed, he immediately took his luggage to the northwest for refuge, and later arrived at my house."

"And later, because He Ruolanshan supported the eldest prince to succeed the throne, the second prince designed to get rid of this man who was called the first general of the Sui Dynasty at that time. The He Ruo family has not even left behind. Dozens of officials jointly sued him for trying to rebel, and the evidence is said to have filled three baskets."

After listening to this story, Fang Jie's face became a little solemn.

"Isn't this the most sad thing?"

He asked.

Cui Zhongzhen nodded: "No... the most sad thing is that the strategy is not what he would not think of, but the gentleman who taught me. The gentleman who would not always tell him that when he mentioned it to the second prince, he said the gentleman's name, but in fact, the gentleman never mentioned it from beginning to end, and kept saying that this was what he thought of."

Fang Jie nodded: "Even if you don't say it, I've guessed it out of ten."

"It is inevitable that this will happen during the career."

Cui Zhongzhen sighed, "So, the more I grow up, the less interested I am in the career path. Instead, I am just willing to eat, drink and have fun with a group of friends, and I live a leisurely and happy life. Later, I had to go to the capital to take the exam at the Martial Arts Academy. When I was walking halfway, I even sympathized with you. A baron like you who had no background and no background will be drowned by the deep waters of the pond when I arrived in the capital. But unexpectedly, it was me who drowned."

Fang Jie smiled and shook his head, lit his pipe and took a sip: "The teacher I teaches you is afraid that since you were young, you will continue to teach you that once you choose to enter the government, then don't trust anyone. Only in this way can you not become a stepping stone for others to advance, right?"

"You are wrong."

Cui Zhongzhen sighed: "Mr. I often tell me in private that you should act according to your original intention. He asked me whether I want happiness or fame and fortune. I asked, can't happiness and fame and fortune be both? At that time, in my opinion, there would naturally be countless happiness in gaining fame and fortune. But Mr. I said that when you are truly mature, you will understand that happiness is actually very simple. So when I understand Mr. I am an adult, I become more and more playful."

Fang Jie laughed and said, "He almost ruined you."

Cui Zhongzhen shook his head: "I want to thank him again, so that I can at least have a happy day."

Fang Jie let out a breath of smoke and said softly: "Maybe there will be a kind of person who will be unhappy in ordinary people. Only when he climbs higher, he will be more satisfied and he will be really happy."

"A person like this..."

Cui Zhongzhen was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "Either die of frustration or be famous in history."

Fang Jie nodded, thinking.

...

...

When Fang Jie saw Langru Mountain again, only he knew the feeling in his heart. Although Shanzhai was at least 100 miles away from Fan Gu, Fang Jie could not calm down after he got here. I don’t know if he had already been spiritual and felt the master’s intentions. The red horse seemed a little different from usual, shook his head and kept sniffing, as if he was persuading something.

Fang Jie patted the red horse's neck and his eyes remained in the northeast.

"Want to go back and have a look?"

Mu Xiaoyao asked softly.

Fang Jie nodded and shook his head again.

There was a bit sad between the eyebrows, which few people could understand, but Mu Xiaoyao understood.

Fang Jie must have wanted to go back to Fan Gu. It was the most secure place for Fang Jie to live for three years after his 15 years of escape. There were many memories, beautiful and sadness there. Fang Jie nodded because he could never let go of that place. Fang Jie shook his head because the place was still there, but the person was gone.

"What else can I do when I go back? The city is still the same city, but people are no longer those people. I heard that Li Yuanshan buried all the bodies after slaughtering the city. No one knows where they are buried. I was too anxious when I killed Li Xiaozong, and I forgot to ask..."

Fang Jie took back his sight: "Let's go to the parody first, that's our place to stay in the future."

"If you want to go, go."

Chen Qingfan said softly: "If the person is not there, the grave is not known, but I always feel that they should be waiting for you to go back. I bring a pot of wine to the land of Fangucheng and say a revenge, they should be able to hear it."

Fang Jie was silent for a while and said, "Fan Gu was not stationed, the rebels looked down on that small city, and the Mongols' barbarians looked down on it. The crucial border town at that time has been abandoned, and the former national gate iron gate is now a ruin. The Mongols went in and out unscrupulously, and the soul of the city is gone. If there is nothing left, maybe there are only the lonely ghosts in that city."

Hearing this sentence, Mu Xiaoyao felt a chill on his body.

"Go and have a look, let's accompany you."

She said.

Fang Jie pondered for a while and nodded: "Okay, it's time to go back and tell them."

He turned to find Mou Liangbi and said that he wanted to go back to Fan Gu to see him. Mou Liangbi told him to be careful. Although Fan Gu was already deserted, there were rioters and bandits from time to time. He wanted to send people to protect him, but Fang Jie just refused. I don’t know if it was because of embarrassment or because he felt guilty. Mou Liangbi rarely said anything and did not take the initiative to explain anything. Fang Jie didn’t care, and thanked him and said goodbye.

"Our people are stationed in place and wait for me. Don't follow the team to go up the mountain until I come back."

Fang Jie ordered Lu Fenghou to station the infantry of Yangzi Camp on site. This place was only a hundred miles away from Fan Gu, and it would not take long for a fast horse and light cavalry to go back and forth. But if he brought the entire team together, it would be slow. He took five hundred light cavalry and left seven hundred cavalry to hand it over to Chen Duanshan, and waited on the spot with Lu Fenghou.

With a team of more than 500 people, Fang Jie left the team and headed towards Fan Gu. Mou Liangbi said that although Fan Gu was abandoned, the city was still there. Many bandits had chosen to settle here. After being cleaned up by the Sui army on Langru Mountain several times, no one dared to occupy this place as a nest. However, it was still a temporary place where many bandits and bandits settled. Without bringing their troops, it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no accidents.

In just one day, the light cavalry rushed outside Fangu City.

When he arrived outside the city gate, Fang Jie blocked the red horse and his face couldn't help but change.

Although the city wall still looks solid, it exudes a desolate feeling. The city gate is gone, and the door is filled with dry grass swept in by the wind. A man on the city wall showed his head and ran away as if he was watching them. Soon, a chaotic movement in the city came out, and then a team of horse thieves of about 70 or 80 people rushed out from the other gate and ran away without even daring to return.

Fang Jie was too lazy to pay attention to those horse thieves, and his heart was desolate.

He urged the horse to slowly enter the city gate and saw at a glance that about half of the houses had been burned. Although the tallest building in the distance was still there, you can tell from a distance that it was already ruined. It was Jinyuanfang, the place where the big shopkeeper was once explained. The building not far from Jinyuanfang is Hongxiu Building, and half of the storefront had collapsed.

Fang Jie rode a red horse and walked slowly, constantly looking around.

The house on the left is Liu Sanhu, and the house on the right is Aunt He. Walking further inside is Widow Sun's house. Walking from Aunt He's house to the left is Li Xiaozong's other general's mansion.

Remember every explanation.

When Mu Xiaoyao saw Fang Jie dropping his horse, he jumped down, took the big package from Qilin and opened it.

It was paper money. Fang Jie bought all the paper money he could buy in the town he passed along. The shopkeeper saw that it was a group of armor-piercing people coming, so scared that he didn't dare to collect the money. But Fang Jie still put down a ingot of gold and whispered that if I robbed the paper money and burned it to them, they would even ask me to scold me if I didn't collect it.

These words scared the shopkeeper and didn't dare to speak out.

Fang Jie squatted at the intersection of the street and lit a handful of paper money: "I've been poor for three years. I haven't paid the tolls and can't even get in the underworld. Are you still swaying here? It's cold in winter in Fan Gu, and no one is burning a piece of clothes. I don't know how you got through it. I hugged each other and squeezed each other. There are too many people, so I'm not afraid... I'm not easy to buy clothes. I'll buy more money and you can buy them yourself. If there is a restaurant below, you'll have a good meal."

Paper ashes flew into the sky and circled in the air.

"I originally thought that I would be proud of my grudges when burning paper. Don't worry, there is another person named Li, I will kill him, but don't wait for me to report the news. Do whatever you should do. It's enough for you to pester me for three years. You have to abide by the rules, right? If you miss me... I'll endure it. If I miss you... I will come again."
