Fang Li received two messages in one day, one good news and the other bad news.

If someone is by Fang Li's side at this moment asks him which one he wants to hear, Fang Li will definitely take his old fist, and even use his general's power to avenge his personal revenge and throw him into prison.

"Yu Ji, Yu Ji, I left me!"

Fang Li took a deep breath, suppressing the disappointment and anger in his heart, "It should be Yu Ziqi who took Yu Ji away? I felt that he was not satisfied with me before. It seems that I am still too indecisive and should deal with Yu Ziqi as soon as possible!"

Fang Li paced back and forth in the study, feeling upset, "I could feel that Yu Ji was in love with me. I wanted to boil the frog in warm water and proceed step by step, but I didn't expect that Yu Ziqi, the bastard, actually took him away."

In a rage, Fang Li threw the pottery tea bowl on the desk to the ground, and the room was immediately in a mess.

Jing Xi, who was preparing lunch in the kitchen, rushed over when she heard the movement and asked with concern: "General, what happened?"

It is obviously not a smart way to tell a woman that she was furious because of the departure of another woman. Fang Li naturally would not do such a mentally retarded thing, and he was also afraid of hurting Jing Xi's heart.

"It's okay, go and do it!"

Fang Li waved his hand and told Jing Xi not to be nervous. "Some local officials are corrupt and abused, which makes me furious and lose my composure!"

"The world is so great, there are all kinds of people. General, don't be so angry!"

Jing Xi showed a gentle smile. While comforting Fang Li, she took a broom from the corner of the house to clean the tea bowl fragments. Then she went to the kitchen to prepare meals with confidence.

Fang Li continued to pace back and forth in the study, speculating on what choice Yu Miaoge would make in the future?

When Xiang Yu was trapped in Wujiang, Yu Ji did not choose to escape, but committed suicide to bury Xiang Yu, which shows that she is a strong woman who values ​​love and friendship. Once such a woman has a true love, it will be difficult to change her will. Fang Li suddenly felt that things might not be as bad as she thought.

"Besides, Xiang Yu is a man of great strength. Since Yu Ji already has a heart, he should not force others to do anything with his overlords!"

Fang Li was walking slower and slower, and his mood gradually improved. But there was something unknown. Why did the ancients call men forcibly getting involved in women?

"Xiang Ji, we have to follow the rules. You have snatched Baili Susu away. You can't touch my Yu Miaoge anymore!"

Fang Li stared at the Chu State on the small sand table in the study, muttering word by word, with a murderous aura on his face, "Otherwise, Fang Li is incompatible with you, don't think you are the number one general in history, I summoned Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others, and Zhao Yun, they will still fuck you!"

At this moment, the guards guarding the gate came to report; "Report to the visit of the general and the Korean envoy!"

"Korean Messenger?"

Fang Li was quite surprised. When he heard the name of Korea, his first impression was that he was a girl with long legs in a Korean girl group with plastic surgery and a shaking hip dance. He was stunned for a moment and remembered that it was a river separated by South Korea.

"Bring them to see me!"

After seeing Fang Li, the Korean envoy submitted a letter from the Prime Minister of Han, Shen Buwei, expressing his willingness to recognize the identity of Tang, not interfere with Tang's internal affairs, will not participate in the Battle of Xingyang, and is willing to form an alliance with Tang and jointly fight against Wei.

Fang Li guessed that Han Wu might be dependent on his identity, so he did not study the book himself, but asked the Prime Minister Shen Buhe to write a letter. After all, Fang Li is nominally the general of the Tang Dynasty, and there are two lords Ji Shubi and Ji Zhai. According to the level, Shen Buhe should also communicate with the letter. If Han Wu and Fang Li directly contact each other, they would be condescending.

What excited Fang Li the most was that South Korea expressed its recognition of the identity of Tang State. This was the first country to recognize the sovereignty of Tang State, and it was also South Korea, a top-ranking country in the world, which made Fang Li excited.

"Your envoy comes from afar and is tired from the journey. Please stay in Hanoi for a day before returning!"

In order to make a fuss from the messenger, Fang Li tried his best to keep him, and ordered Chen Deng to treat the messenger with the best delicacies in Hanoi, and gave him some valuable gold and silver treasures. Finally, the ins and outs of the drunk messenger's mouth was drawn.

After nightfall, Chen Deng, who was full of alcohol, came to Fang Li's mansion and burped, "General Bofu, I've been useless and I've been talking from the Korean envoy. How to think about it?"

"Han Wu doesn't want to form an alliance with us?" Fang Li ordered Jing Xi to sober up a bowl of tea for Chen Deng, and asked with a frown.

Chen Deng took the tea handed over by Jing Xi and took a few sips, and suddenly felt shocked: "Huh... your tea leaves are so sweet and cold?"

The history of Chinese tea can be traced back to 4,700 years ago. Since Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, humans have known that tea can be drunk. It has been planted on a large scale by the Shang and Zhou dynasties. However, during this period, the tea was fried in oil and then drunk, and even some salt and other seasonings were added, so the taste was strange. Fang Li almost vomited on the spot when he first drank it.

Afterwards, Fang Li told Jing Xi that there was no need to worry so much, just rub the tea leaves and dry them to make it clear. Brewed with boiling water, it was sweet and fragrant.

Jing Xi did it as Fang Li told me. As expected, she felt that the tea brewed in this way was refreshing, so she fell in love with tea art. In autumn, when she was in Chiyang, she would go to Wangwu Mountain to pick it back to dry it in her spare time. The tea that Chen Deng drank now was brought back by Jing Xi from Chiyang.

Fang Li said with a smile: "This tea is a secret recipe of our Fang family. It was picked by A Xi and dried it with her own hands. If you want the tea to be delicious, besides the tea, it also has to be good water... Okay, let's get back to the point. When you leave, I'll ask A Xi to give you a pack."

Chen Deng grinned and sighed, "It's so troublesome? I wonder if my servant has the patience!"

Chen Deng took a sip of tea and got back to the point: "Han Wu not just wanted to form an alliance with us. At the beginning, he wanted to compete with us for Xingyang. Just when General Bofu led his troops to counterattack Pinglu, Prince Han Fei suggested that Han Wu attack Xingyang with heavy troops."

"Han Fei?"

When Fang Li heard this name, he was moved and couldn't help but feel respect. There are too many familiar characters in this world. Maybe he will meet the bigwigs of various schools such as Laozi, Confucius, Mencius, Mozi, Zhuangzi, Xunzi in the future. What a world where hundreds of schools of thought contend!

"Please fill it with me again!"

Jing Xi's external identity is Fang Li's maid. To outsiders, she is a maid, so Chen Deng dared to ask for tea while drunk. "Miss Axi is really amazing. I'll let my family come to learn from you tomorrow. You should give me some advice!"

Jing Xi smiled and poured tea bowls for Chen Deng: "Okay, when Mrs. Jiang comes, Ah Xi will definitely know everything."

Chen Deng was quite cynical, holding a tea bowl and crossing his legs, saying, "This is interesting to say. Before, he tried his best to persuade Han Wu to attack Xingyang and seize territory with us. Now Han Wu is going to send troops to attack Xingyang and do something right to us. He strongly opposed it and fought against the scholars alone, preventing Han Wu's military use. Who do you think this is? Is it too contradictory?"

Chen Yuanlong was once called "Chen Yuanlong and Hu Hai's scholars, who were not removed from their heroic spirit." This means that Chen Yuanlong was full of ruffian habits and was bold and unrestrained; these characteristics have been gradually felt by now, so he doesn't mind.

In Fang Li's opinion, Chen Deng is a bit like Dai Li, the spy leader under Chiang Kai-shek. If he set up an intelligence agency himself in the future, the helm must be Chen Deng.

Fang Li thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Han Fei is studying the Legalists. The Legalists emphasize the situation and follow the trend and do not compete with the situation. Previously, Han Fei suggested that Han Wu attack Xingyang because the timing was right. Taking Xingyang could curb the development of our Tang Dynasty.

Now that our Tang Kingdom has taken momentum and is approaching Xingyang City, he has lost the opportunity. If it is too late to send troops again, it is going against the trend, so Han Fei strongly opposes it."

Chen Deng burped; "General Bofu's analysis makes sense. It seems that Han Fei is a smart person!"

Fang Li stood up and paced back and forth, and said solemnly: "It is rare that Han Wu is a person who knows the current affairs. He has not been an enemy of our Tang Dynasty and has recognized the national identity of our Tang Dynasty. Then we must repay our kindness and send someone to South Korea to make allies with it."

Chen Deng's intention to drink had been reduced, and he nodded and said, "General Bo Fu said very well. At present, Zhao State is unpredictable, and Jin State hates us to the core. If we want to control Luoyang, we must not offend South Korea again."

Fang Li made the final decision: "No further ado, tomorrow Yuanlong, you will personally prepare a gift to South Korea, thank Han Wu, and have a good relationship with Han Fei. Han Fei is a talented person. I heard that he is not valued in South Korea. We should win over it more, and maybe we will get unexpected gains."

"General Bofu is in a position to be assured, everything is left to me, Chen Deng!" Chen Deng held the tea bowl, still feeling unsatisfied.

Fang Li said again: "If you choose a few eloquent and keen and smart people to follow you to South Korea, you will say that since the two countries have established diplomatic relations, they should set up embassies to each other, increase communication, convey each other's begging, eliminate barriers, and share the same spirit, so as to avoid the suffering of messengers running back and forth."

"Okay, this is a good idea!"

Chen Deng praised repeatedly and asked Jing Xi for a bag of tea, then got up and said goodbye.

The next day at dawn, Fang Li prepared some generous gifts for Chen Deng and ordered him to take dozens of followers and Korean envoys to leave Hanoi and go to Yangdi to pay homage to the Han Hou. The two countries have since formed an alliance and advanced and retreated together.

Standing in front of the prefect's palace, looking at Chen Deng and his party's departure, Fang Li was still scared and sighed: "Thanks to Han Feizi, South Korea now has as many as 150,000 troops. If South Korea intervenes in the Battle of Xingyang, our plan will be in vain! I hope that Gongjin and Zilong will take down Xingyang as soon as possible and control the Guo State area in the southern part of the Yellow River, so that our Tang State can truly rise!"
