Chapter 1140 See what color his heart is

Cliff Mountain

I don’t know how this name came from, nor do I know how many years it has been called. Fang Jie came to Yashan several times when he was in Fangu City. The first time he lived here with Mu Xiaoyao for about a month. At that time, the big dog went to Fangu City to find out the news. Because Fan Gu was very special, he would have some contact with the Mongol Yuan herders. It would be dangerous if there were people from the Buddha Sect mixed in.

However, the big dog believed that although this place looked dangerous, it was actually not easy to be noticed. Fang Jie felt that he was hiding and running away anywhere, and it was the same everywhere.

But for the sake of safety, Daju still came in after investigating in Fangu City for almost a month and confirmed that there was no Buddhist sect in the city.

The second time I came to Yashan was when Fang Jie was the deputy of the scout team, he brought a dozen brothers to Yashan to hunt. Langru Mountain was too close to Fangu City, and it was possible to encounter scouts from the Mongol Yuan, so it was safest to choose Yashan, two or three hundred miles away. It would not be known by the law enforcement team in the army, and it would have to work hard to deal with the matter.

Although the border army scouts were dangerous, they were also quite a lot of leisure time.

The border army of Fangucheng had a total of more than 30 scouts, and they were taken on duty in two batches. Of course, this did not conform to the rules of the court, but no one would be so strict in the local area. Li Xiaozong was pretty good at Fangucheng's border army at the time, and he turned a blind eye to such violations of discipline.

There was nothing big, 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 was no matter of suppressing bandits, Li Xiaozong was basically too lazy to restrain them.

The third time I came to Yashan was because of the bandit suppression.

Although the people in Fan Gu are simple, the word "strong" is added to the later part. There has always been no shortage of bandits in the northwest. People who committed crimes in the city ran out and trespassed into the mountains and couldn't catch them. There are also horse thieves coming from the grassland, which are even more cruel.

Fang Jie and Qiu Xiaoshu and Li Dan were the ones who were ambushed a wave of horse thieves on Yashan and beheaded more than 30.

It was winter, and blood was quickly frozen. The horse boots stepped on the ice, and the sound made was very special. It was also because of that battle that Li Gandang was promoted to the captain and Fang Jie was promoted to the scout team deputy. Although in that battle, Fang Jie just hid in the snow nest and fired cold arrows at the horse thief, and he didn't dare to kill anyone.

Although there is no Fang Jie in today's Battle of Yashan, there is no doubt that this war that has a huge impact on future generations is destined to have his name appear.

"Black Flag Army?"

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

After seeing the Han general who was not thin but extremely weak nodded, Meng Lie breathed a long sigh: "It's fine, I think no one will fight like this in the northwest except for your Black Flag Army. The Black Flag Army under Fang Jie's command are all crazy."

Song Zihui did not deny that although he did not join the Black Flag Army for a long time, and may be shorter than his generals, he, like other Black Flag Army generals, did not think that Meng Lie's words were a derogatory term. Madman sometimes used a tone of awe when describing people.

"Me too."

Song Zihui nodded and looked at Meng Lie and asked, "Actually, you are also a lunatic. In such weather, it is not suitable to send troops, but you still come with your troops."

Meng Lie was silent for a while and asked, "Why are you fighting?"

Without waiting for Song Zihui to answer, Meng Lie continued: "You must be doing not just your future, but also your tribe members, the honor of soldiers, and the dignity of the country. So, you should understand why I came. After all, those are my tribe members, even if we had warned each other not long ago."

Song Zihui understood, but he naturally understood.

If he and Meng Lie change positions, I am afraid that the choices he makes are the same. No matter what unpleasantness happened with his companions before, when facing foreign enemies, these unpleasantness can be temporarily forgotten.

"It's not that 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 dissuade Da Khan from entering the Pass, there would be no such thing as annihilation today. I want to ask you one thing, did Da Khan have already been defeated in the south? Is he still alive?"

"I don't know the specifics."

Song Zihui shook his head: "But I can tell you for sure that Brother Meng was indeed defeated. Because the lord ordered almost all the Black Flag Army on the line of Lingmen Pass to evacuate, you should guess what it means. As for whether your khan died or not, I don't know."

“It doesn’t matter.”

Meng Lie smiled discouragedly: "After today's battle, I have no more soldiers to fight against in the Mongol Yuan. What if the Khan is alive? If the Mongol Yuan's strength is not enough to recover, it will not be enough for fifty or even a hundred years. I just don't understand why the Khan had to fight in the east at that time."

"Can I die?"

He suddenly asked.

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

Song Zihui refers to the sentence: You should understand why I came, after all, they are all my tribe members.

"Thanks"

Meng Lie struggled to stand up, then knelt down, and kowtowed towards the west grassland: "May the Wolf God bless the grassland to have a hundred years of peace from today, so that my tribe can regain vitality. May the Wolf God bless the Mongyuan for immortality. If the Mongyuan Kingdom is destroyed, the grassland will not have that one hundred years of peace."

"Maybe the Wolf God can't agree to your wish."

Song Zihui sighed: "After today's defeat, the power of the Mongol Yuan was greatly damaged, and there was no war. How could those grassland tribes that had been oppressed by the thousand-year Mongol Yuan? From today on, the grassland will be in chaos, and the tribes will struggle and fight, just like the Central Plains a few years ago, the sky is dark."

This world has a long history, and there is never a shortage of generals who become famous in one battle. For example, Li Xiao, who has been dormant for many years and became famous for his destruction of Nanchen. For example, Luo Yao, who has been arguing for more than ten years and has been awesome in the world by destroying Shang and the war.

Today, with the battle of Yashan, Song Zihui's name was destined to be spread throughout the northwest land and even the entire grassland.

However, his reputation was not just this victory.

It's because there are too many people killed.

This gentle and humble scholar ordered all the Mongol prisoners of war after the Battle of Yashan, and then used the Mongol horses and carriages to save all the heads of the people with lime and sent them all to the grassland. On the pasture in Latu, Mandu, dozens of tall Mandu mountains were piled up.

From then on, the grasslanders heard Song Zihui's name and dared not think of invading the east. That is, the barbarians who occupied a large area of ​​grassland immediately sent an envoy to see Song Zihui, expressing their willingness to surrender to the Black Flag Army. Song Zihui refused to see the envoy and asked him to go directly to Chang'an City.

Dongjiang

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

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

General Lang under Nalan Dingdong welcomed Fang Jie at almost the easternmost part of Dongting Road. This middle-aged general named Wei Kui was once a soldier from the Great Sui Dynasty. He was just a captain at the time. Because of his accumulated military merits, he has now been promoted to the fourth-rank General Yingyang Lang.

"How is the war?"

This is what Fang Jie asked the first question.

Wei Kui talked about the war in Dongjiang, and especially focused on Mu Xianjun. When Fang Jie heard this name again, he felt that things were different.

"When I was descending, General Nalan took his men to fight to rob the food and grass from Mu's mansion, leaving Mu Xianjun to guard the Phoenix Platform. Mu Guangling ordered the blockade of all important roads and no longer provided us with food and grass supplies. Because foreign gunboats blocked the rivers, the fleet that was running all over the world was difficult to send the supplies, so General Nalan had no choice but to decide to rob the granary."

Wei Kui was afraid that Fang Jie would blame Nalan Dingdong for having a falling out with Mu's mansion at this time, and his words were all for Nalan's explanation. He did not expect that Fang Jie didn't care about this at all, but just replied indifferently and snatched it, but he didn't even ask more questions.

"Mu Xianjun guards the Phoenix Platform."

Fang Jie smiled: "Naran has courage, but he can see it very clearly. I don't know the details about this matter, but since Nalan does this, it must make sense."

"By the way"

Wei Kui said: "When I came down, I heard that the Yang Shun Club's troops in Mouping City had already moved. Almost 100,000 people left Mouping, and it seemed that they were moving towards the direction of Phoenix Platform."

"Yang Shunhui"

Fang Jie repeated the name, and his tone was filled with coldness.

"The people from the Xiaoqi School have planned several assassinations of Yang Shunhui, but because of the limited personnel available, Yang Shunhui is always on guard against being assassinated. In addition, his cultivation is good, so he has never succeeded."

Wei Kui said: "This man obviously knew what he did, and he was angry and resentful, so he was heavily guarded by the mansion and spent a lot of money to buy many big enemies as bodyguards. He bought a lot of scum in the dark who only recognized silver but not people. He heard that he also asked the emperor of the Oplu Empire to send a god-slaughtering musketeer to him."

"This person's harm to Dongjiang is more than that of foreigners."

Wei Kui said: "Because he has made the worst appearance and has already broken the pot, he always shows that I just surrendered but I just live a good life, so many lazy scums have also surrendered to him."

"Where has the army of Sanjin Hou gone?"

Fang Jie suddenly asked.

Liao Sheng, who was standing on the side, quickly replied: "The news I received yesterday was that the large group of troops led by Sanjin Hou had now entered Shanhaiguan, just around Guhai County, Changxing Road, and it was still more than 2,000 miles away. General Zheng Qiu's navy escorted the team of two generals Chen Dingnan and Chen Duanshan, and had arrived in Ninghai. Because the foreign fleet blocked the river, it was estimated that the war had begun."
