Conquer the World

Chapter 509 Fifteen Catties of Grain

There were hardly any decent obstructions along the way. Most of the rebels' squads had taken off their armor and lost their weapons to find a place to hide, lest they should be caught by the officers and soldiers after the war. He was a bandit, but he did not dare to attack the cavalry.After Li Xiaoche fled, he sent people around Jinyang to gather the defeated soldiers, and many of the rebels who could not afford to eat had also fled to the past.

When he came, he walked day and night, and when he went back, Fang Jie let the team line up, let the cart walk in the middle of the team, both sides were cavalry, and the battle flag was inserted on the cart. The ranks of the rest are similar, so even the small rebels and bandits and horse thieves will avoid them even if they find them.

Fang Jie was meditating along the way, remembering what was hidden behind a short conversation with the emperor and the old man.

The emperor's performance was as close as ever, which made Fang Jie's heart warm in Changan City.But now, he felt more and more that there was something cold behind this closeness.Fang Jie thought that he had left Fan Gu to Changan to the present few years, and he felt a bit bitter.

When he was in Fan Gu, he was a qualified imperial frontier and a natural scout, because of his existence, Fan Gu's horse thieves were hit by a few hundred miles.But he was inexplicably involved in Li Yuanshan's conspiracy and almost became a burial of Wu Peisheng.Then entering Changan, I have never done something that I am sorry for this empire, and I never thought of being sorry for this empire, although for a long time Fang Jie did not think that he was a typical Sui.

But by now, it seemed that everything he had experienced showed a sense of distrust.

The emperor used him to defend him, and the solution was understandable.After all, he hadn't even figured out where he came from. How could the emperor not be suspicious?To be honest, it has been extremely difficult for the emperor to do so now.Fang Jie even thought that if the emperor was Li Yuan and Luo Yao, and Yang Yi changed positions, he said he must have died.

So there is no resentment in Fang Jie's heart, only a little helpless.

The old man's words kept lingering in his mind.Fang Jie vaguely guessed who the old man was, and the words he said were knocking on Fang Jie's heart.He asked Fang Jie, did you forget how you came?He said that every step of your solution is destined for blood to flow into the river. Can he really see through the heavens?

Is it really already arranged by God?

Riding slowly on the battle horse, Fang Xie looked up at the sky.

It was as if he was sitting there on the low wall of a broken farmer's yard on the escape road many years ago. He looked up and looked at the expression on the sky. He was full of doubts.Coming to this world first is a mysterious and mysterious thing, which is beyond the understanding brought to him by Fang Jie ’s previous life.Even in this world, it is difficult for people to accept let alone modern people?

Then he was inexplicably involved in the forces of Da Sui and Meng Yuan, Buddhism, Luo Yao, these people.

So much that he didn't know himself more and couldn't see himself clearly.Especially what makes him uncomfortable is that, as if he didn't know about it, others know it.Fang Jie can be sure that Luo Yao knows a lot, and he can guess some from the old man's words.

"Mr"

Fang Xie asked Zhuo Buyi around him: "Do you know Wudang Zhangzhenren?"

Zhuo Buyi shook his head: "No one on the rivers and lakes dare to know about Zhang Zhenren ... after all, in terms of age, it is at least a hundred years old. Almost no one in this generation on the rivers and lakes has had an intersection with Zhang Zhenren. It ’s just heard. Wudang Mountain has always acted in a low-key manner, and has never been as public as Qingle Mountain. My understanding of him has only come from many rumors. ”

"Talk about it."

Fang Xie said: "I am very interested."

Zhu Buyi asked, "Do you think that person is Zhang Zhenren?"

"Seven out of ten."

Fang Jie nodded.

"Why are you in Daying?"

Zhuobuyi murmured, then suddenly thought: "Yes ... Emperor Duo Luoyao's guard is not only the hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but also Luo Yao's own cultivation behavior. It is justifiable that if it were really him, Luo Yao might not dare to take risks. It was not that Luo Yao was not confident, but Luo Yao thought it was not worth it. "

"Ok"

Fang Xing said: "So I am only curious about Zhang Zhenren. The most famous person in the Great Sui Dynasty was more than Wan Jiantang and Wan Xingchen more than a hundred years ago. The most famous person in the rivers and lakes was more than a hundred years later. Zhang Zhenren is smaller than Wan Xingchen by grade and is 19 years older than Xiao. However, living between these two people has not been as famous as the two of them. This is not normal. "

Zhuo Buyi said: "The legend of the rivers and lakes, that Zhang Zhenren once used many names to break through the world, Zhang Chuping, who swayed Jiangnan eighty years ago, wiped out Zhang Donglin, Jiugou and Eighteen Villages, with a pair of fists seventy years ago. Zhang Liulu, who wiped out the 13 gates north of the Yellow River, was short-lived and no news, so some people attributed these names to Zhang Zhenren, but he never admitted it himself. "

"Some people say that his real name is Zhang Fengshan, and some people say that his real name is Zhang Sanxiao. He is not at all optimistic, but because he lives in Wudang Mountain Sanqingguan Yiyang Caolu, people also call it Zhang Yiyang."

Zhuo Buyi said: "But in the past forty years or so, there have been no rumors about him. Wudang disciples say that the real person can't be closed, and they haven't asked about the rivers and lakes for a long time. So people have gradually forgotten the name and even ignored There is such an old monster alive in the Great Sui River and Lake. "

Fang Xie asked: "In your opinion, how does Zhang Zhenren cultivate better than Xiao Yijiu?"

"Not good to comment."

Zhuo Buyi shook his head: "Some people say that Zhang Zhenren is better, but because he hasn't appeared on the rivers and lakes for too long, this view has been ridiculed by more people. Xiao Zhou's big Zhoutian ... is very strong."

Fang Jie nodded: "In any case, there is Zhang Zhenren beside the emperor ..."

He said half of this sentence and suddenly thought of a thing, his face slightly changed: "The emperor ... is waiting for Luo Yao to kill him."

Zhuo Buyi also understood it, and couldn't help but sighed long: "Meng Yuan people stabbed Luo Yao from the back, Luo Yao must be furious, saying that he would go down and kill the emperor, and the emperor was with him There must be more than one real person. The emperor still wanted to use his own bait to solve as much as possible the internal disturbances of the Da Sui, and he did not want to leave hidden troubles for the prince. "

"There is a premise"

Fang Xiedao said: "Will Luo Yao really kill the emperor for the reason that the Meng Yuan people used force against him?"

"Perhaps there are other reasons we can't think about."

Zhuo Buyi said: "So that Luo Yao had to go."

"Do you want to go back?"

he asks.

Fang Jie was silent for a while and shook his head: "If you don't go back, if the emperor is not sure that Luo Yao will go, it won't make me leave in such a hurry. He wants to keep me and serve the prince ..."

...

The march had gone for nearly a month before the team returned to Fan Gu. All the way to the top, the cavalry solved some gangsters who were in trouble. The soldiers were just like hunting, and they were not a battle but a slaughter.When I returned to Fan Gu, the climate was already a lot warmer. As I walked all the way, I saw that the victims were sore in the wasteland.The seeds planted by these victims may be the food that many people have starved to death but they are not willing to move because Li Yuanshan has been defeated.

They look forward to the fact that some of these grains will be produced after the fall so that the days can continue.

But even coarse grains with the shortest planting cycles do not know how many people will starve to death in these months.

They planted not only hope but also life.

Because there was no shortage of food in the cottage, the food looted by the rebels in Xiyingying was enough for the army to persist for a long time.Therefore, the solution from the top of the road left the grain and grass from the Sui Army camp full of food, and the rest was distributed to the people along the way.Although everyone didn't share much, at least they added some weight to their hopes.Those people who have experienced the disaster of war will be grateful to Dade for such a small help.

What Fang Jie didn't know and never thought about was that his seemingly insignificant kindness gradually spread his name among the victims.

There is a small master in Beijing, who loves the people like a child.

If Fang Jie knew, he would be ashamed.

Fang Jie discovered when he returned to Fan Gu, or because the news of Li Nibing's defeat spread, so the victims went out to find a place where there were officers and soldiers stationed, and they just felt that they would have a sense of security.Around Fan Gu, those dilapidated villages have been repacked and lived in. The men went to the mountains to hunt for their livelihoods. The women cleaned the dilapidated houses and went to wasteland.

Fang Jie appreciates that Sun Kaidao looked far enough. When he returned to Fan Gu on the same day, Fang Jie saw Fan Long forming a long queue.Those who come to collect seeds are registered according to household registration. Each household distributes 15 kilograms of seeds. If they diligently plant the wasteland, they can plant some coarse grains before the winter to deal with the long winter.

This is not a big investment, but it can win the support of many people.

When seeing the ranks of officers and soldiers entering the city, the people in line spontaneously gave way, and everyone had a kind smile on their faces, and their eyes were close and respectful.Fang Jie was not angry with Sun Kaidao ’s self-assertion. It only took half a month to consume the army in the cottage to meet the needs of these people for seeds, and these people were absolutely reluctant to take the seeds of 15 kg per household. Eat it.

Fang Jie suddenly discovered that there was some disturbance in front of him when he was about to enter the city. He urged the horse to look forward and found that the people in the queue were in trouble.

It was dozens of people beating three men, and the beaten people wailed and begged.The people who hit people didn't mean to stop their hands. The few people who hit them almost lost their strength to call for help.The strange thing is that such a long team, everyone else just watched no one to manage, but many people were applauding.

"You beast! You should be killed!"

A man in shabby clothes kicked and scolded fiercely: "General Fang is merciful. Every household sends 15 kilograms of seeds to enable us to live the next winter! You scums took the seeds yesterday, evening When I went back, I cooked and ate, and I came again today! Animals! You take one, others will get less, and then there will be one more family who will not survive the winter starvation! "

"Kill him! Such a bitch!"

During the tearing, the person who was beaten suddenly revealed the turquoise livery inside the worn clothes, which was the clothes of the rebels, and the crowd immediately boiled when he saw this scene.

"kill him!"

"This group of scum, dare to come in and get food, kill him!"

The angry crowd rushed up, punching and kicking.

Fang Jie did not send people to stop it, but just quietly watched the people kill those three people alive.The body was dragged and left on the side of the road, beyond recognition.I don't know how many people spit at the corpse before walking away, the torn livery was torn apart.

After venting their anger, the victims returned to the official road and continued to line up, returning to their original position, but no one was arguing.

Fang Jie urged the horse to move forward, and it was difficult to calm down.
