Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

After listening, Li Qiu frowned, "If you say that, this Fan Xing is a rare talent?"

Fang Xuanling nodded seriously, "Exactly."

"This Fan Xing has been a long history in the northwest frontier all his life, leading a small number of defenders and civilians to fight against the Turks for decades."

"He is very familiar with Turkic soldiers, combat habits, strengths and weaknesses."

"Back when the Jieli soldiers came out of the Longshan trail and raided Chang'an City, our generals and soldiers had not fought the Turks for nearly ten years."

"So, at that time, Master Du and Changsun Wuji suggested to His Majesty that Fan Xing should be reused."

"But because Fan Xing came from a humble background and was not a son of a noble family, he was protested and remonstrated by many courtiers including Feng Deyi at that time."

"Finally, out of desperation, His Majesty sent Fan Xing to Suizhou again, and with great difficulty, he was promoted to an official position and became the governor of Suizhou."

"This time, it was also thanks to Fan Xing's timely self-capture of the city. Otherwise, Li Shiji, who failed to receive the urgent military information from the imperial court, and his [-] troops, would have been buried in the Turkic ambush."

"So, regardless of emotion or reason, this Fan Xing should not be killed!"

At this time, Li Jing also added from the side: "Before, I also had no contact with Fan Xing."

"This time he lived in our army for several months, and I deeply felt that Fan Xing is indeed a rare talent."

"If it weren't for his assistance in defending the city, checking for deficiencies and making up for omissions, and providing a lot of useful suggestions, Jingzhou City wouldn't be able to last this time."

"Originally, I planned to return Fan Xing to Chang'an, and bring him back to Jingzhou after His Majesty forgives him."

"But the world is unpredictable. I didn't expect that the officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the world would not allow him to live!"

The author Zun wailed, hugging the thighs of the gentlemen, begging for some gifts, pity the author Zun...

Chapter 322 Death, You Are Unworthy

After listening to everyone's words, Li Qiu frowned slightly, and only said one sentence.

"I want to meet this Fan Xing."

……

The next day, Li Qiu came to Fan Xing's prison with a jar of shooting Sirius, a roast chicken wrapped in oil paper, and two side dishes.

Because it has been arranged in advance.

When Li Qiu arrived and entered Fan Xing's cell, the other idlers all retreated out.

Looking at Li Qiu who put the wine and food on the table, Fan Xingshili, who was weak, asked, "May I ask you?"

At this time, Li Qiu carefully opened the roast chicken and the food, and then glanced at him.

"I am Li Qiu, and I am here to see you off for the last time by order of Your Majesty."

As soon as he heard Li Qiu's name, Fan Xing's whole expression was lifted, and then he hurriedly bowed to the ground respectfully, and bowed to Li Qiu.

"Fan Xing has admired the prince's name for a long time."

"The prince's invincibility and great achievements against the Turks are really a role model for my generation."

"I didn't expect to be able to see the prince at this last moment."

"Fan Xingzong is going on the road, and he has no regrets."

Seeing him like this, Li Qiu sighed lightly, and made a gesture of invitation to the wine and dishes on the table.

"Sit down and talk."

"Try this roast chicken and side dishes while it's hot, it won't taste good when it's cold."

"Today I was ordered to come here, and I specially exchanged a pot of shooting Sirius for you."

"Will hold the eagle bow like a full moon, look northwest, and shoot Sirius."

"This may be the best interpretation of you, Fan Xing, in the last moments of your life."

Listening to Li Qiu's words, for some reason, Fan Xing felt a sense of desolation and sadness in his heart.

And a sense of resentment.

Perhaps this is the unique personality charm of Prince Li Qiu, the great general who is unique in the world.

"I've heard of the reputation of shooting Sirius before."

"However, Fan Xing can't afford to drink ten thousand wines..."

"I didn't expect to be able to drink this whole jar when I was on the road. It's a blessing."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Lord Fang, Lord Du, Lord Changsun, Marshal Li Jing, etc., may only repay Fan Xing's kindness in the next life!"

After finishing speaking, Fan Xing didn't hesitate anymore, he ate the roast chicken in big mouthfuls, and drank wine in big bowls.

All his life, he has been living in the harsh conditions of the northwest frontier.

Even though he became the governor of Suizhou City from a small stable boy, he hardly ever had enough to eat.

In his heart, he always pretends to be the common people.

He has no family, no wife, and no children. All he has is every inch of land in Datang Prefecture and County, and every person in Datang on the land.

All his salary was used to help the poor, dying people.

Today, he can finally forget about all of this, and embark on another path of redemption of his own, accompanied by roast chicken and fine wine.

While eating, Fan Xing's voice started to choke, and he burst into tears.

At this time, Li Qiu glanced at him silently, "Are you afraid of the imminent death?"

However, Fan Xing shook his head heavily.

"Back in Suizhou City, when I led everyone to the Turkic army to die, I had already made up my mind to die."

"What I cry bitterly are the people who died in vain under the city of Suizhou, the women who were trampled to death and suffered unspeakably, and the children who screamed in pain and were flayed and eaten!"

"I am the last and only person in this world who saw all this with my own eyes from beginning to end!"

"I, Fan Xing, I'm sorry, I can't take revenge for you who can't rest in peace!"

When he was so excited, Fan Xing knelt down in front of Li Qiu with a plop.

Bang Bang Bang knocked his head vigorously, and the ground was stained red with blood.

"My lord, Fan Xing may go at any time this time."

"Before I die, I just want to plead with the prince."

"I hope the lord can lead my Great Tang iron cavalry to crush the Turks, and take revenge for those people who died tragically in the Great Tang!"

"My lord's great favor, I, Fan Xingzong, have been slaves for nine generations, and I have no complaints!"

Looking at Fan Xing in front of him, Li Qiu also sighed softly, and said as if talking to himself: "Actually, I am the same as you."

"I have also seen with my own eyes the cruelty of war and the utter conscience of the Turkic people."

"Soldiers and common people in my Tang Dynasty were tortured and killed, women in my Tang Dynasty were abused to death, and those lovely children in my Datang Dynasty were gouged out of their hearts and eaten alive."

"I've seen all of this with my own eyes."

Hearing Li Qiu's eeriely calm voice with endless coldness and chill, Fan Xing raised his head in amazement.

Just like this, he looked closely at Li Qiu in front of him.

When he saw the look in Li Qiu's eyes that he had seen before, he was sure in his heart that what Li Qiu said was true.

At this time, Li Qiu paused, and continued: "Whether you ask me or not, I will do something that must be done."

"Even if I risk the disgrace of the world, even if I am condemned by thousands of people in the world, even if it is written in history books and scolded by future generations, I will kill all the blood of the Turks."

"However, you have to avenge the bloody hatred of the people of Suizhou City by yourself."

"Since you are the one who caused the tragedy."

"It's you again, who witnessed their unjust death and hatred with your own eyes."

"Then you have no right to escape before avenging them!"

"You don't even deserve to die!"

After speaking, Li Qiu picked up the jar of wine on the table, and drank the rest of it.

Seeing such a scene, Fan Xing was really scared out of his wits.

"My lord! My lord!"

"That's poisonous wine! How can you drink it!"

"It doesn't matter if I, Fan Xing, die, but you are the future pillar of my Tang Dynasty army, so you can't die!"

At this time, Li Qiu put down the wine jar heavily.

Then he looked at Fan Xing very seriously and said, "For you, this jar of wine is poisonous wine."

"The former Fan Xing is dead."

"Now you, there should only be two words in your soul, hatred."

"Until you completely avenge the people of Suizhou City, you are not qualified to die."

"Perhaps, you can also regard yourself as a living dead who only lives for atonement."

After speaking, Li Qiu took out a government order issued by the emperor.

It says, cut down Fan Xing for the people, exile in Youzhou!

Chapter 323 Working overtime and not letting me go home

ah? !Is this wine not poisonous? ! "

After seeing this government order document, Fan Xing's expression was not half joyful, but extremely anxious.

"My lord, if Fan Xing is released like this, then all the generals defending the city in the future can use the name of trapping the city to abandon the city to survive."

"If everyone flees as soon as they see the Turkic enemy, who will defend the territory of the Tang Dynasty?!"

Seeing him getting more and more agitated, Li Qiu looked very calm.

"Those guards and officials of the Tang Dynasty, those who should flee, without you Fan Xing as a precedent, those who should flee will always flee."

"Since the reign of Wude, every time a small group of Turks invaded, didn't the gentry officials in these cities escape?"

"Conversely. The same is true."

"Those loyal and courageous soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, how could they be influenced by your mere Fan Xing?"

"Even if they die on the battlefield, they will not escape."

"Keep this life that doesn't belong to you anymore, and wait for one day in the future, and join me in avenging those soldiers and people who died tragically in Suizhou City!"

After speaking, Li Qiu turned around and left.

I believe that after such a communication, at least before the real revenge, Fan Xing will not continue to seek death.

……

Immediately after the decree to exempt Fan Xing from the death penalty and exile to Youzhou for three thousand miles was issued, the pot immediately exploded among the officials.

Countless courtiers, officials, righteous people, and loyal people all gathered outside the Tai Chi Hall.

Kneeling there, begging the emperor to take back his will and execute Fan Xing.

All of a sudden, almost all the officials from the three provinces and six ministries in the imperial city ran over.

The operation of the entire Datang government affairs system was also paralyzed.

Seeing that the sky outside was getting dark, the officials gathered at the entrance of the Tai Chi Hall did not show any sign of letting go.

In Shangshu Province, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Li Jing were moaning and frowning as they saw this turmoil getting bigger and bigger.

Corresponding to them was Li Qiu, who was full of sleepiness and rested his head on his hands.

Seeing him like this, Fang Xuanling shook his head helplessly, "Oh, Li Qiu."

"What are you thinking about there, is there any good way?"

Hearing this, Li Qiu, who had been drowsy, quickly regained his energy.

"I was thinking, I can't go back to Furong Garden tonight, where should I go for a drink."
