Mountains and seas can be flat
Chapter 149
The first batch of warriors released by Fang Zheng to inquire about Xia Zhu's information came back.They brought the magnetite distributed by Fang Zheng uniformly - this is the magnetite in the volcanic vein discovered by Fang Zheng, and it was specially beaten and polished into the shape of a spoon handle to make the earliest simple compass.Teach those warriors how to use it.
A large number of reprimands went northward smoothly.At the beginning, they strictly obeyed Fang Zheng's instructions: the so-called scouting, it is absolutely not allowed to keep all eyeliners in one place, and when important information is discovered, it must be handled by division of labor: some people report back, and some continue to go deeper.
At first, getting the news went smoothly, and Xia Zhu was gathering the army.This big country, which is essentially a slavery system, has put on a more high-sounding cloak for this system, using the name of witch spirits to exercise the reality of oppression.Fang Zheng can easily see through.However, in many people's minds, Xiazhu's jade is still the earliest symbol of "ritual".Of course, this statement is also reasonable. The barbaric witch spirits were buried and the blood of countless slaves was piled up into magnificent and tall buildings to worship their gods and beliefs. It also gave birth to the "ethical" rituals of later generations, but it is still the high-pressure nature of ruling centralization. means.
Fang Zheng stood on the hill and stared at the north thinking: If he had the opportunity to choose, he really didn't want to face Xia Zhu so soon.The uncivilized new force with a devout belief in death will be the most difficult.
The question that Fang Zheng is most concerned about is the number of troops, but there has been no accurate answer to this question.The first batch of scouts who came back only brought back the land planting and people's living conditions in the central and southern frontiers of the Nine Forts, but they did not come into contact with the army.
"Since we can't get it directly, let's try to calculate it." Fang Zheng asked, "Have any of you paid attention to the rules of recruiting soldiers in the county fortress?"
A scout reported loudly: "Leader, each household has a male who is ten years older than one year."
Xiazhu entered a small-scale farming society, with the concept of a family household, and the upper class formed a huge family with the patrilineal blood lineage as the link.The household unit is the smallest in the family.As long as there is one husband and one wife, there is one household.
Fang Zheng glanced at the reprimand approvingly, and then asked: "How many children do they usually have in a family?"
"There are usually two or three children in ordinary accounts. If there are too many children, it is impossible to raise them. The head of the household with a high status in a big family may have more children because they can afford to raise more female slaves." The detective answered in time.
The primitive small-scale farming society did not have a clear "wife" or "concubine". If a woman has the ability to weave or farm in the division of labor in the family, her status will be relatively higher. If she only does some miscellaneous housework, she will be regarded as a slave girl.
Fang Zheng noticed that although the reprimand was short in stature, he was agile and articulate, and asked, "What's your name, and where did you come from before?"
"Back to the leader, my name is Guan. I used to be a member of the Zhiyu tribe. I saw the leader's demeanor at the Yao Banquet, and followed me back."
Fang Zheng remembered that in the "Shan Hai Jing" there was a country called Zhi Tong Country, where people had flexible tongues and were able to speak well.He asked again, "What about your people?"
"Our family is in a remote mountain in the north of Kunlun Mountain. People have starved to death all year round, and the number of people is getting smaller and smaller. In the end, we had no choice but to go to the Yao Banquet with tributes to attach ourselves to Zu Jiang, but the winter was too cold that year, except for the few of us who stayed in Yao City. The others are starving to death."
Fang Zheng remembered the turmoil in Zu Jiang. In the cold winter, even the city of Zu Jiang was too busy to take care of himself. People in other remote villages in the Kunlun Snow Region did not know how many people died.Fang Zheng led the Nine-Tailed Fox to clean up the group of fighting women and immediately deployed supplies, but for many places, it was already too late.
Fang Zheng calmed down and stopped thinking about these regrets.He is always a talent, and he wants to let the opponent play a greater role.
"This information is very useful." Fang Zheng taught him to analyze, "The males are drawn from the accounts, and the households are based on the husband and wife and three children, which is one out of five. Since there are 20 people in Xiazhu..."
Fang Zheng saw that the people around him were slightly confused and did not dare to ask questions—how did Fang Zheng know how many people there are in a country?
Fang Zheng also couldn't tell them that after time travel, white mist would occasionally float in his mind, telling him a simple overview of the world.Xia Zhu has a total of 20 people and he was also told in these prerequisites.He pretended to be confident, and those people would naturally think that the leader had great powers.
"...So they recruited about [-] soldiers, and screened out the old, weak, sick, disabled and deserters. In addition, Xia Zhu's two former legions, Kaiyu and Flying Badgers." Fang Zheng said to Guan, "their army numbers Estimated at around sixty thousand. Do you understand?"
Guan was flattered: "What? Yes, you are right...I understand, I understand."
"In the future, you will serve as the military report officer of Qinglongling. I want you to set up a military observation room. Pick people to work with you." Fang Zheng ordered: "Then you teach them how to observe and how to collect useful information."
"Yes!" Guan took the order excitedly.
Fang Zheng felt a few complicated gazes from around him, he smiled slightly and called out: "Meng Xiaojun! Come here!"
Meng Xiaojun is the son of "Floating Immediately" Meng Shisan. He originally took over from his father, commanding the beasts to exchange supplies, and also taking care of collecting information from various places.Hearing that Fang Zheng set up a special military newspaper system, he felt a little uncomfortable, thinking to himself that he was not useful enough?His father, Meng Shisan, taught Fang Zheng the manufacturing technology of Tao fan, so that Qinglongling could cast the first batch of bronze weapons.But since Fang Zheng took Zu Jiang back, Zu Jiang has the best pottery making method in the world, and there are a bunch of technicians on the White Pagoda.Meng Shisan occasionally laughed at himself as a supervisor now.Meng Xiaojun doesn't want both father and son to lose their core status.But Fang Zheng saw through such an idea as soon as it came up.
Meng Xiaojun walked up to Fang Zheng uneasily, and Fang Zheng said: "The trade route that you and your father have mastered is our important economic support. Before, you were asked to collect information because no one else was available. Now, the population of Qinglongling has increased. There are so many, exchanging materials is our most urgent and important thing. I want you to free up your hands and concentrate on doing this. This is not easy, you have to do it well."
Meng Xiaojun felt a big stone in his heart, "Yes! I will not let the leader down."
Fang Zheng added: "Meng Xiaojun, with the increase in the number of Chinese people, it is normal if you are not the only one to exchange trade in the future. Your father's Tao Fan technology also has a way. Although it is not the same as Zu Jiang, Qinglongling can do it. Use. Who would think there are too many supplies and weapons? So don’t be exclusive.”
Fang Zheng looked around and said to the chief executive: "In the future, there will be more and more people, and many things will no longer be undertaken alone. Everyone will cooperate and compete, but it is always for the prosperity of the Chinese. We Unlike Xia Zhu, the Chinese do not keep slaves, and everyone is free, but correspondingly everyone has to contribute. Although our population is not as large as Xia Zhu in a short period of time, our number of "living people" will be greater than theirs many."
These people were confused again, what is the "number of living people"?
"Does anyone know what the gods of Xia Zhu's witch spirit belief are?" Fang Zheng did not answer directly, but began to investigate and ask questions again.Every day when he discusses politics with the main executives, he will draw a dozen ordinary people to attend.There are more than 1 Chinese people, and it takes three years to meet all of them without stopping to see ten of them every day.But this is indeed a good way to listen to a wide range of opinions and develop ideas.Some people were assigned by Fang Zheng to positions in urgent need of talents because they showed their talents, so the people valued this opportunity to meet the leader.
This time, it was a thin and small audience who uttered a few words that were very unfamiliar to everyone present: "Adisha, Shagoche, Yueluner, Mole..."
It sounded like some kind of dialect. Fang Zheng called people over. She was a stooped old woman with gray hair, about the same age as those elders in Youbi country.Around her neck was a black rope with a tooth pendant hanging from the end.She looked at Fang Zheng with cloudy eyes, and said hoarsely, "Boss."
Although in terms of gene expression, women live longer than men.But in this era, women who have the double burden of reproductive risks and heavy labor tasks rarely live to this age.
"The old man is from Yanglun City in the north?"
Yanglun is the capital of Xiazhu, and there are huge statues of the four witch spirits in the city, if they didn't come from there, how could they know so clearly.
Yanglun City was once the majestic capital of Emperor Chongyu who engraved Jiuding and made Wan Guo Dynasty.No one else in Qinglong Ridge has actually been there, not even the elders who are more knowledgeable than the country have ever been to Xiazhu Capital City.I only know that there are four gods in the Wuling belief, and what they are called and what they represent, but I can't tell.
The old woman humbly said to Zheng Zheng: "Boss, I have lived in Yanglun for 20 years. I was driven to Danyang City to teach them weaving. Last time the boss asked Sang Niang and the others to go back to live in Qinglongling. Fortunately, I didn't leave me behind." This old woman."
The art of weaving was first passed down by Lei, the wife of Emperor Xiong's Xuanyuan Huangdi. Since then, weaving has become an indispensable labor skill for people's lives.Before in Danyang City, because of the indiscriminate killing of innocent people by the Flying Badger Army, Fang Zheng rebelled against Sister Sang of Zhifang and her women.
Fang Zheng speculated quickly, and there were still a few questions to be confirmed, so he asked: "Old man, is there a weaving workshop in Yanglun City? Who is in charge?"
Such an important life technology, according to Xia Zhu's centralization method, will definitely not let them exchange it by themselves like Fang Zheng, but must manage it.
"The leader is indeed profound." The old woman was a little surprised.In this era of lack of information, including many people in Xiazhu, the leader can say so accurately, "Yes, the weaving workshop is in the center of Yanglun City, near the temple, and there are about [-] female slaves weaving. , the younger brother of the monarch is managing..."
Female slaves are definitely not paid in this era.Fang Zheng asked thoughtfully, "Then will your family benefit from it?"
The old woman was stunned: "Benefits? What? We have something to eat and a place to sleep. It's already good."
This is also a point that it took her a long time to adapt to after she came to Qinglongling. She can rely on her weaving skills to exchange for her daily necessities, and she still has a surplus.Although she is old, her craft is still there.In the beginning, she didn't have her own weaving equipment, so she used the set that Sangjie Hai Qiniang and the others brought from Danyang City.Then one day after they saved a lot of money, they went to find Meng Shisan and his son and Santu, a member of the Qigong tribe.The master mechanics discussed and made the second set of textile utensils by themselves, with a wooden wheel structure and copper heads as hammers, which was very labor-saving.
The weavers got a second utensil, which was more efficient, and they took in some new little girls to teach them skills.And knowing that "as long as you have enough exchange goods, you can get your own means of production", this old lady who is not young is even more motivated than when she was young.After spinning for a lifetime, in the end I can finally have something that belongs to me.Now she works hard and wants to have her own weaving wheel.
Fang Zhengdao: "Old man, continue to talk about those four witch spirits."
"Okay." The old man wiped away tears. Although they worked day and night in Xiazhu's weaving workshop, every year during the "Shao Dance" festival, everyone went to watch the dance sacrifice on the high platform of the temple.Someone will pretend to be the four witch spirits and read aloud their respective domains, their divine powers and punishments for those who do not obey the rules.
"Adisha is red, her upper body is a fish, her lower body is a human, and she holds a sword. She is the flame of life, and she is in charge of order. Shagoche is black, and his head is a bird's head, with three hands. Rod, whose song beckons death, is of judgment; Vielon is blue, and he has a leopard's tail, and his wrist pierces ten barks, and his voice drives away sickness, and is of succession; Mole is White, she has a serpent's tail, holds a ball of white jade, she is Chaos of Return, and holds omens."
Although many years have passed, the old lady is still impressive.The images of these four witch spirits are exaggerated, they are repeated every year, and anyone can recite them silently.After doing something bad, you have to worry about being condemned by the Wu Ling all the time.
"This is a complete belief system." Fang Zheng thought back to the origin of the strange animals in the "Shan Hai Jing", guessing that the red fish head with a human body should be a red fish; the black bird head with three hands is a bit like Zhai Runiao The human-shaped leopard tail may be the god's long vehicle that is being taught; while the pale human-faced snake tail is either the fat leg that caused all kinds of catastrophes, or the nine babies of the monster.
Fang Zheng wondered if Xia Zhu's witch spirit chose the images of these monsters, could he get a glimpse of the battle memories they had in the long river of history?Had their ancestors in the past encountered or conquered those monsters?It was so impressive that it was written into the inheritance from generation to generation?
Are these monsters the descendants of all kinds of huge creatures that wandered on the ground?Does it also have a relationship with the Huaxu people's dragon beast?Fang Zheng was not sure.
"I know the four witch spirits, let me tell you what is the number of living people." Fang Zhengdao, "In addition to being able to breathe and move, a human being is a human being if he has a heart and a brain, otherwise he is an animal, even worse than an animal. There are many people in Xiazhu who only have a body, and the witch spirit is their spirit. If they don’t have their own will, they are not living people. You know what you have, what you want, and how to get it, and you are the real living people .so we outnumber them 'living people'. You must be thinking by now, so what? Can we beat them?"
Although the surroundings were silent, it could be seen from everyone's eyes that Fang Zheng had hit their point - life was better than Xia Zhu's slaves, but how could he defeat the two elite troops of Kaiyao and Flying Badgers?Xia Zhu also recruited so many new recruits.The total number of people in Qinglongling is no match for an army of others.
Although the leader has the huge dragon, Zifeng is also quite powerful in combat, and they also have bronze armor weapons and "explosive//powder".But after all, there are so many people on the other side.The utensils used by Xia Zhu to grind solid jade can also reflect that their weapon making level is certainly not low.
Fang Zheng looked around the circle of core administrative staff and several observers.In fact, if it is a specific strategy, it will not be so widely advertised.But a certain revolutionary leader's struggle methods are diverse and wonderful, and the strategy he wants to talk about, I wish more people would know the better.
"A sage once said that when shooting a man, shoot a horse first, and when capturing a thief, first capture the king. If we have the supernatural power to capture King Xiazhu, there will be no need to fight. Of course, it is impossible for him to be captured in the heavily guarded high city of Yanglun Jiuren." Captured. Then the next best thing is to decide who is the second most important person in Xia Zhu's army?"
Big Bronze Fang answered quickly: "It's Suo Lan, the commander of the armored servants. This time, she will lead the troops herself."
"Do you know anything about this female commander?" Fang Zheng asked and answered with him, so that the people present could understand more clearly.
Big Bronze Tooth and the others have been guarding Cangwu Abyss for many years, and know a lot of information, "Suo Lan is the youngest general of the armored army in history, and the only female commander in Xia Zhu today. When she was 17 years old, she brought 100 People ambushed and attacked the [-] guards of Yanglun City, and captured Xibo, the confidant of the previous king. She supported Taikang's younger brother Zhongkang to succeed him, and was reused by him. She served as a vanguard officer in the armored army at first. A few years ago, Hu Tao, the commander of the armored army, was old and incompetent, so Zhongkang promoted Suo Lan to be the new leader of the army, and he will keep pace with the commander of the Flying Badger Army, Pang Meng."
Fang Zheng turned his head and asked the old man who explained the four witch spirits just now: "There must be a lot of discussion in Xiazhu territory."
The old woman shook her head and said, "I'm old, and I can't remember what I heard."
"Don't be afraid here, I'll tell you for you." Fang Zhengdan said, "Xia Zhu is different from Zu Jiang. It is a patriarchal society. It is very difficult for a woman to gain power. She is young and in a high position. The legend. The more legendary the more people will be talked about. Talk about her acquaintance with Zhongkang when she was young. Talk about whether she really got to that position by virtue of military merits? Naturally, the armored army will not allow such remarks to spread. If anyone talks about it secretly, If you are caught, you will be punished, so your conditioned reflex is very nervous."
There are also many people in this room who are learning about this female general's experience for the first time, and they can't help showing similar puzzled expressions.Fang Zheng looked at those gazes and sighed, "At the beginning when Lian Zifeng was appointed as the commander of the Zujiang Kunxiu camp, I heard people talk about him all the way at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. I'm not blaming you. It's just that many people, When you hear that someone has done something you can't do, you subconsciously feel that he is not worthy, and he uses unknown means."
Someone lowered his head with a shameful expression on his face, Fang Zheng pretended not to see, and continued: "In other words, we must not underestimate her. You might as well use your brains, how to 'precisely strike'?"
Meng Xiaojun said: "When we were in Danshan, we went to Xia Zhu to exchange jade. Sometimes we would help them with affairs. When we got in touch with the low-level members of the Flying Badger Army, they sometimes spread unfavorable remarks against Solan in the territory, saying that she had no He was appointed because of his real ability and having an affair with the king. I think the differences between the two armies can be used to spread rumors."
Fang Zheng pondered, and said: "According to the information I have, there is indeed a suspicion between Xia Zhu's armored servants and the Flying Badger Legion. But one is bright and one is dark, and the division of labor is different. It is not easy for outsiders to provoke. And you Having said that, it’s just low-end rumors at the bottom, the more they spread, the more those warriors feel sorry for the strength and dedication of the commander, and become more loyal.”
Fang Zheng's analysis is very correct, the cohesion of the armored army has not decreased but increased.Sustained by the personal charm of Solan.Regarding the incident in Danyang City, brother Xiaoyao and other lower-level armored servants ran away with Fang Zheng in order to avoid the disaster of killing themselves.Peng Meng blamed Feng Yi's killing on the armored army, and it was not a matter until Suo Lan was fined to kneel all night.Pang Meng was a veteran of the three dynasties, no one dared to lose face.However, the upper echelon of the Armed Forces has become more and more fond of the commander who is willing to atone for their crimes, and will not be affected by those rumors.
"The relationship is so deep, so what should I do?" Even the cunning Elder Xuansi frowned, "The most difficult thing to deal with is people who have the same heart."
Fang Zheng said lightly: "Then, let them feel more distressed."
"What does the leader mean?" Everyone asked suspiciously.
Fang Zheng sighed pretendingly: "I cherish talents, and I can't understand some things the most. The most distressing thing is that I have worked hard for the monarch, but not only is not understood, but even led by suspicion and jealousy. Famous generals, beauties, loyal It's like fire, what a pity."
Amid everyone's puzzled expressions, Fang Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Let's go. You will understand everything in a few days. Now you just need to know that our Chinese people in Qinglongling have difficulties with those who have difficulties. People who are always willing to lend a helping hand.”
Prince Wei Yu still needs to take the antidote given by Fang Zheng on a regular basis.But not only did he not feel wronged, but he lived happily every day.In the days of Qinglongling, he had to rely on himself. Fortunately, there are abundant products here, and he also has a loyal galloping wolf, which is very convenient for hunting in exchange for living expenses.
Under the management of Fang Zheng, Qinglongling is prosperous and peaceful, the folk customs are simple, and the national temperament is free and civilized.The girls are also first-class and interesting, but they make Prince Weiyu very happy.He felt that this was a joy that he had never felt in the life of being served by others.So when Fang Zheng asked him to send a letter back to Yu Yi Rao Wo, Prince Wei Yu's first reaction was to refuse.
"I don't want to go back. Can't the scout deliver the letter?"
"The rebuke can't be handed over to your father directly." Fang Zheng's message was engraved on the white bark and packed in the buckle belt. There was no lock in this era.So the safety of sending a message depends entirely on the sender. "Actually, it's okay to let you bring a message. I'm afraid it's too long and you won't be able to remember it."
Prince Wei Yu hadn't realized that he was disgusted by Fang Zheng because his brain was not good enough, so he was entangled in not wanting to deliver the letter to Yu Yi.
"What if I don't come back?"
"You still have to come back to take the antidote." Fang Zheng said, "Will your father let you die?"
"I don't know. Maybe in his eyes I'm already a dead person." Prince Wei Yu whispered.
Fang Zheng smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "No, I'm sure. He will let you come back."
"why?"
"He's still counting on you to be Qinglongling's eyeliner."
Prince Wei Yu glanced at Fang Zheng in surprise, and quickly shook his head: "I don't! I won't be his eyeliner! You have to trust me! Don't drive me away!"
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Of course I won't drive you away—because I want you to be Yu Yi's eyeliner."
Prince Wei Yu stared at Fang Zheng dumbfounded, unable to say a word for a long time, and did not dare to refuse directly.But he also really didn't want to become Fang Zheng's internal spy to deal with his suzerain country.Fang Zheng stopped making fun of him, and gave a step down: "Let's not talk about this first. Let me tell you the content of the information, so as not to lose or damage it on the way. You keep it in your mind."
There is no proper way to preserve it these days.Maybe some unknown bugs or plants encountered on the road will corrode the bark.The road was not smooth either.
Fang Zheng cleared his throat: "Lord Xiazhu married the princess of the Badian Shuiyan clan. Such a big event, why didn't Lord Yuyi send a golden luan there? If the monarch doesn't want to, I will ask Lian Zifeng to send Zhu Luan there gone."
Prince Weiyu realized later: "That's it? You think I can't remember it?... No, what do you mean? Where can I get Jinluan? No, Jinluan is not just caught casually, the saint's Luan Wu may not be able to lead it out of the first copper mountain."
Fang Zhengdao: "You don't have to worry about it, just bring the original words to King Yu Yi. He is a smart man and will understand."
Only then did Prince Weiyu recall it, and said in surprise, "Could it be that you want my father to send Jinluan to destroy King Xiazhu's wedding? Then do I have to bring the saint with me? Only she can call luanbirds." .Hey, I don’t think it’s right. Isn’t it all right to find Lian Zifeng? Can’t he call Zhu Luan? Tell me what it means. Hey, I really don’t understand..."
Fang Zheng was finally irritated by him: "Don't talk nonsense! Now! Pack up and go!"
Immediately, two arranged warriors carried Prince Wei Yu into the house to pack his things.Fang Zheng strode away.The warriors around him couldn't hear him, Fang Zheng seemed to be talking to himself, "You said this man has been a prince in Yu Yi for more than ten years...why didn't he inherit that old fox at all?"
Suddenly, Lian Zifeng, the "Envoy of the Gods" appeared beside Fang Zheng like a ghost, and no one could see how he came here.Maybe it was hiding on the side of the road just now, or maybe it jumped from the air.Although the samurai following behind have experienced it several times, they are still about to be startled suddenly.
Zifeng followed Fang Zheng and said, "Brother Zheng, how did you know that old fox Yu Yi can tune Jinluan. I haven't had time to tell you."
Fang Zheng shook his head and patted Pat Zifeng's shoulder, "It's okay, when you lost your sanity at the beginning of your blood, you recruited Zhu Luan to break through the bell net in Rao Wo City. At that time, I was thinking, what is Rao Wo Li? What is it that keeps you thinking about it even if you lose your mind? At first I thought it was the sinews of snakes that make bowstrings. But then I thought, at that time you had no 'human' memory, so what do you need bowstrings for? The old fox like Lord Yu Yi has such a strong desire to control, he will not let go of a huge uncontrollable force. I guess he must find a way to make Jin Luan a killer. Last time he wanted to bring back the saint at the banquet, I don't agree, he didn't insist in the end, which means he must have a backup plan for Zhao Jinluan."
Zifeng nodded: "I wanted to enter Raowo City at that time, but I felt that there was a golden luan in the city." He was embarrassed to scratch his head, "At that time...the blood power...and very hungry..."
It is also said that the first time Jinlong devoured gluttonous food was to eat Zhu Luan.Since ancient times, the biological instinct of dragon beasts to eat ostriches has not disappeared.
Fang Zheng asked: "As expected, King Yuyi not only summoned him, but also let Jinluan stay in Raowo, how will he mobilize?"
Zifeng said: "I don't know what method that old fox used. He may have locked up Jinluan and is trying to train him, but he may not be able to send Jinluan out to kill people. Even if brother Zheng asks the fourth prince to deliver a letter. Yu Yi The king may not agree."
Fang Zhengdao: "Of course. I'm just telling him. Don't try to hide the cards, and don't think that watching Xia Zhu fight us can be a sideline. If he has great skills and sends out the golden luan, he will naturally be able to attack Xia Zhu. If he You can't send him out until he's trained well. You'll also call Zhu Luan over there. The Luan bird is their fetish, and their punishment is also theirs. Since he wants to be on the same boat as us in Qinglongling, he has to bear the risk together. "
Zifeng nodded, "Then, Brother Zheng, I'm leaving too."
"Okay, be careful, don't confront the armored soldiers head-on."
"Brother Zheng, don't worry, ordinary people and weapons can't hurt me. Brother Zheng. I lurk at the wedding banquet, maybe I have a chance to assassinate King Xia Zhu."
Fang Zheng's face sank like water, "Don't kill him. Those four weird witch spirit beliefs can't be simply rumors. You are very strong, but don't forget their imam ants. They can't even resist dragons and beasts. What's more... some It can’t happen again.”
Fang Zheng stopped in his tracks, showing a rare look of melancholy. He took out a bag of things from his arms, and unfolded it into a bag of dust, but the color was scarlet.
"This is brought to me by scouts, the soil quality of Badian in the south. Now tens of thousands of people have died there, the floods are raging, and people have been displaced... This is all my sin. I want to restore that side to half of Qinglongling today. I don’t even know it will take decades. This is the power of destruction. I carry this bag of soil every day. When I sleep at night, it presses on my heart. I am surrounded by screams and corpses in my dreams. I see I don't know their faces clearly, but I heard all the Badian people in the dream saying: Fang Zheng, you are a devil."
Zifeng's clear black eyes swayed slightly, this was one of the few moments when Fangzheng showed love and compassion.He knew that what brother Zheng said was true. On a starless and moonless night, he heard the restless breathing of Fang Zheng next door when he was sleeping, and knew that he was tortured in his dream.Zifeng would sit on the edge of the bed silently, taking Fang Zheng into his arms, as if sending him the power to fight against dreams.
"I don't regret it. I will take the most ruthless means of revenge for my homeland again. But I will not shirk it. No matter how many people in this world want to kill me, I will bear these shackles for the rest of my life." Fang Zheng's eyes turned deep, "Why don't I know your strength? You rushed into Yanglun City, desperately, and your blood flowed like a river. I don't want to see such a thing. But if you don't stop it, Solan will bring the armored army to the south , It is us who are bleeding into rivers. Instead of being slashed with two swords, it is better to rein in the opponent's hand in advance. Then find a way to coexist and negotiate, form an alliance like Yu Yi, and everyone develops together. We are called Hua, they It's Xia Zhu...it should be...ah."
Zifeng heard Fang Zheng mutter a few words in a very low voice, but he couldn't make out what it was "Huaxia... Shuiyuntian... Spring Breeze... Mountains and Seas...", and then Fang Zheng seemed to realize that he had made a slip of the tongue, and said it as if nothing had happened. Back to the topic just now.
Zifeng suppressed his doubts and said, "Why don't you assassinate Suo Lan?"
"Rebellion. Soldiers will be more angry." Fang Zheng shook his head, "I said, it's better to make them feel bad. The phoenix enters the city and creates chaos. You look for an opportunity to sneak attack Xia Zhu Wang Si Zhongkang. You can't kill him, but let Solan Protect him from some injuries. The injury can't be too serious, otherwise the leader of the army will be replaced. But it can't be too insignificant. The wound is the crack. In addition, I have other speculations that I need you to confirm for me. It is related to the next step Arrangement. If I guess correctly, I am sure to eliminate this military disaster."
"What speculation?"
"In this world, if someone is willing to dedicate his energy, strength, and ability to a person without complaint or regret, and will never leave him for more than ten years from childhood to adulthood. He has not received any special benefits. What is the general reason?"
With the inspiration of the glorious spirit and the brainwashing of loyalty thoughts in later generations, such dedication is not uncommon.But in the age of ignorance and desolation, how many people can have the ideal consciousness of great unity like Yao and Shun?
Fang Zheng was very concerned about the intelligence comparison brought back by the reprimands who taught him: Ever since he became the commander of the legion, Pang Meng has kept slaves on a large scale. In many places, the Flying Badger Army even selected from his private slaves.He owned more land and more slaves than the king's brothers.But Soran didn't have much land and slaves, and she almost didn't want the money the king gave her, saying that she didn't have time to take care of it.Almost all time spent in military affairs.
Zifeng was somewhat dissatisfied and said, "I am also willing to contribute to Brother Zheng."
Fang Zheng patted Zifeng's head, "What does it mean when you compare yourself?"
Only then did Zifeng suddenly realize, Fang Zheng sighed deeply, and stared into the distance, "She must... must love that man very much. Tell me, is there any love in the world that does not include the desire for exclusive possession? If I suddenly want to marry Yu Yu for political reasons What kind of princess is getting married, how do you treat it?"
Zifeng's face turned pale, and he said angrily, "Who is marrying you! I'll kill her!"
Fang Zheng was amused by his angry look, "It's just a hypothetical, what if I said that for the sake of the overall situation, no killing and no mistakes in the wedding?"
Zifeng held his head gloomily, "Then I'll just kill myself."
Fang Zheng was amused again, "If I say, no, you have to continue to protect me, otherwise I will be in danger, so what?"
Zifeng stared at Fang Zheng: "Brother Zheng, then I will have no choice but to never be a human again. It's not crazy."
Fang Zheng said leisurely: "If I really encountered danger, you blocked the disaster for me, but you yourself were injured. However, you have to be ordered to lead troops to conquer distant lands, just to avenge my so-called wife's land, even if You know this is a political excuse to send troops... Zifeng, you have been acting alone, but Suo Lan has [-] sons of flesh and blood under his command. How do they feel?"
Zifeng finally fully understood Fang Zheng's words: "Distressed."
Fang Zheng led Zifeng to the heights of Qinglong Ridge to see the beauty of this happy place to live in: "Qinglong Ridge is so beautiful, so it is suitable for recuperating from injuries. This is also the method of a certain big man, called 'struggling with the heart'."
"Brother Zheng wants to instigate her? Is it possible?"
"How do you know if you don't try? Zifeng, you are the only one who knows my plan. Look at you. Be careful in Yanglun City. After going through so many things, you must remember that no matter how strong you are, you have weaknesses. So Don't take risks just because you are invulnerable, help me confirm Solan's weakness, and then come back safely."
Zifeng rolled his eyes, and suddenly asked again: "Then what about brother Zheng? Is it me that is your weakness?" He has never been so confident.
Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows slantingly, looked at Zifeng's reborn handsome face, put his hand on his forehead, and said, "No." He didn't want Zifeng to be too complacent.And on the surface, he hasn't forgiven this guy yet.No matter how tacitly he doesn't declare that the name is real, Fang Zheng doesn't want to admit it so quickly.Red Heart Shaoxian Dui's Good Reading
Sure enough, Zifeng was not convinced again. These days, Zifeng gradually became convinced: besides himself, who else is there?He bit his lip again, putting on that aggrieved and coquettish look. "Brother Zheng, I don't believe it."
"However." Fang Zheng rubbed his head with a smile, and comforted him: "You are not my weakness, you are my little baby."
Sorry for the delay.I love you all.I want to finish writing well.
A large number of reprimands went northward smoothly.At the beginning, they strictly obeyed Fang Zheng's instructions: the so-called scouting, it is absolutely not allowed to keep all eyeliners in one place, and when important information is discovered, it must be handled by division of labor: some people report back, and some continue to go deeper.
At first, getting the news went smoothly, and Xia Zhu was gathering the army.This big country, which is essentially a slavery system, has put on a more high-sounding cloak for this system, using the name of witch spirits to exercise the reality of oppression.Fang Zheng can easily see through.However, in many people's minds, Xiazhu's jade is still the earliest symbol of "ritual".Of course, this statement is also reasonable. The barbaric witch spirits were buried and the blood of countless slaves was piled up into magnificent and tall buildings to worship their gods and beliefs. It also gave birth to the "ethical" rituals of later generations, but it is still the high-pressure nature of ruling centralization. means.
Fang Zheng stood on the hill and stared at the north thinking: If he had the opportunity to choose, he really didn't want to face Xia Zhu so soon.The uncivilized new force with a devout belief in death will be the most difficult.
The question that Fang Zheng is most concerned about is the number of troops, but there has been no accurate answer to this question.The first batch of scouts who came back only brought back the land planting and people's living conditions in the central and southern frontiers of the Nine Forts, but they did not come into contact with the army.
"Since we can't get it directly, let's try to calculate it." Fang Zheng asked, "Have any of you paid attention to the rules of recruiting soldiers in the county fortress?"
A scout reported loudly: "Leader, each household has a male who is ten years older than one year."
Xiazhu entered a small-scale farming society, with the concept of a family household, and the upper class formed a huge family with the patrilineal blood lineage as the link.The household unit is the smallest in the family.As long as there is one husband and one wife, there is one household.
Fang Zheng glanced at the reprimand approvingly, and then asked: "How many children do they usually have in a family?"
"There are usually two or three children in ordinary accounts. If there are too many children, it is impossible to raise them. The head of the household with a high status in a big family may have more children because they can afford to raise more female slaves." The detective answered in time.
The primitive small-scale farming society did not have a clear "wife" or "concubine". If a woman has the ability to weave or farm in the division of labor in the family, her status will be relatively higher. If she only does some miscellaneous housework, she will be regarded as a slave girl.
Fang Zheng noticed that although the reprimand was short in stature, he was agile and articulate, and asked, "What's your name, and where did you come from before?"
"Back to the leader, my name is Guan. I used to be a member of the Zhiyu tribe. I saw the leader's demeanor at the Yao Banquet, and followed me back."
Fang Zheng remembered that in the "Shan Hai Jing" there was a country called Zhi Tong Country, where people had flexible tongues and were able to speak well.He asked again, "What about your people?"
"Our family is in a remote mountain in the north of Kunlun Mountain. People have starved to death all year round, and the number of people is getting smaller and smaller. In the end, we had no choice but to go to the Yao Banquet with tributes to attach ourselves to Zu Jiang, but the winter was too cold that year, except for the few of us who stayed in Yao City. The others are starving to death."
Fang Zheng remembered the turmoil in Zu Jiang. In the cold winter, even the city of Zu Jiang was too busy to take care of himself. People in other remote villages in the Kunlun Snow Region did not know how many people died.Fang Zheng led the Nine-Tailed Fox to clean up the group of fighting women and immediately deployed supplies, but for many places, it was already too late.
Fang Zheng calmed down and stopped thinking about these regrets.He is always a talent, and he wants to let the opponent play a greater role.
"This information is very useful." Fang Zheng taught him to analyze, "The males are drawn from the accounts, and the households are based on the husband and wife and three children, which is one out of five. Since there are 20 people in Xiazhu..."
Fang Zheng saw that the people around him were slightly confused and did not dare to ask questions—how did Fang Zheng know how many people there are in a country?
Fang Zheng also couldn't tell them that after time travel, white mist would occasionally float in his mind, telling him a simple overview of the world.Xia Zhu has a total of 20 people and he was also told in these prerequisites.He pretended to be confident, and those people would naturally think that the leader had great powers.
"...So they recruited about [-] soldiers, and screened out the old, weak, sick, disabled and deserters. In addition, Xia Zhu's two former legions, Kaiyu and Flying Badgers." Fang Zheng said to Guan, "their army numbers Estimated at around sixty thousand. Do you understand?"
Guan was flattered: "What? Yes, you are right...I understand, I understand."
"In the future, you will serve as the military report officer of Qinglongling. I want you to set up a military observation room. Pick people to work with you." Fang Zheng ordered: "Then you teach them how to observe and how to collect useful information."
"Yes!" Guan took the order excitedly.
Fang Zheng felt a few complicated gazes from around him, he smiled slightly and called out: "Meng Xiaojun! Come here!"
Meng Xiaojun is the son of "Floating Immediately" Meng Shisan. He originally took over from his father, commanding the beasts to exchange supplies, and also taking care of collecting information from various places.Hearing that Fang Zheng set up a special military newspaper system, he felt a little uncomfortable, thinking to himself that he was not useful enough?His father, Meng Shisan, taught Fang Zheng the manufacturing technology of Tao fan, so that Qinglongling could cast the first batch of bronze weapons.But since Fang Zheng took Zu Jiang back, Zu Jiang has the best pottery making method in the world, and there are a bunch of technicians on the White Pagoda.Meng Shisan occasionally laughed at himself as a supervisor now.Meng Xiaojun doesn't want both father and son to lose their core status.But Fang Zheng saw through such an idea as soon as it came up.
Meng Xiaojun walked up to Fang Zheng uneasily, and Fang Zheng said: "The trade route that you and your father have mastered is our important economic support. Before, you were asked to collect information because no one else was available. Now, the population of Qinglongling has increased. There are so many, exchanging materials is our most urgent and important thing. I want you to free up your hands and concentrate on doing this. This is not easy, you have to do it well."
Meng Xiaojun felt a big stone in his heart, "Yes! I will not let the leader down."
Fang Zheng added: "Meng Xiaojun, with the increase in the number of Chinese people, it is normal if you are not the only one to exchange trade in the future. Your father's Tao Fan technology also has a way. Although it is not the same as Zu Jiang, Qinglongling can do it. Use. Who would think there are too many supplies and weapons? So don’t be exclusive.”
Fang Zheng looked around and said to the chief executive: "In the future, there will be more and more people, and many things will no longer be undertaken alone. Everyone will cooperate and compete, but it is always for the prosperity of the Chinese. We Unlike Xia Zhu, the Chinese do not keep slaves, and everyone is free, but correspondingly everyone has to contribute. Although our population is not as large as Xia Zhu in a short period of time, our number of "living people" will be greater than theirs many."
These people were confused again, what is the "number of living people"?
"Does anyone know what the gods of Xia Zhu's witch spirit belief are?" Fang Zheng did not answer directly, but began to investigate and ask questions again.Every day when he discusses politics with the main executives, he will draw a dozen ordinary people to attend.There are more than 1 Chinese people, and it takes three years to meet all of them without stopping to see ten of them every day.But this is indeed a good way to listen to a wide range of opinions and develop ideas.Some people were assigned by Fang Zheng to positions in urgent need of talents because they showed their talents, so the people valued this opportunity to meet the leader.
This time, it was a thin and small audience who uttered a few words that were very unfamiliar to everyone present: "Adisha, Shagoche, Yueluner, Mole..."
It sounded like some kind of dialect. Fang Zheng called people over. She was a stooped old woman with gray hair, about the same age as those elders in Youbi country.Around her neck was a black rope with a tooth pendant hanging from the end.She looked at Fang Zheng with cloudy eyes, and said hoarsely, "Boss."
Although in terms of gene expression, women live longer than men.But in this era, women who have the double burden of reproductive risks and heavy labor tasks rarely live to this age.
"The old man is from Yanglun City in the north?"
Yanglun is the capital of Xiazhu, and there are huge statues of the four witch spirits in the city, if they didn't come from there, how could they know so clearly.
Yanglun City was once the majestic capital of Emperor Chongyu who engraved Jiuding and made Wan Guo Dynasty.No one else in Qinglong Ridge has actually been there, not even the elders who are more knowledgeable than the country have ever been to Xiazhu Capital City.I only know that there are four gods in the Wuling belief, and what they are called and what they represent, but I can't tell.
The old woman humbly said to Zheng Zheng: "Boss, I have lived in Yanglun for 20 years. I was driven to Danyang City to teach them weaving. Last time the boss asked Sang Niang and the others to go back to live in Qinglongling. Fortunately, I didn't leave me behind." This old woman."
The art of weaving was first passed down by Lei, the wife of Emperor Xiong's Xuanyuan Huangdi. Since then, weaving has become an indispensable labor skill for people's lives.Before in Danyang City, because of the indiscriminate killing of innocent people by the Flying Badger Army, Fang Zheng rebelled against Sister Sang of Zhifang and her women.
Fang Zheng speculated quickly, and there were still a few questions to be confirmed, so he asked: "Old man, is there a weaving workshop in Yanglun City? Who is in charge?"
Such an important life technology, according to Xia Zhu's centralization method, will definitely not let them exchange it by themselves like Fang Zheng, but must manage it.
"The leader is indeed profound." The old woman was a little surprised.In this era of lack of information, including many people in Xiazhu, the leader can say so accurately, "Yes, the weaving workshop is in the center of Yanglun City, near the temple, and there are about [-] female slaves weaving. , the younger brother of the monarch is managing..."
Female slaves are definitely not paid in this era.Fang Zheng asked thoughtfully, "Then will your family benefit from it?"
The old woman was stunned: "Benefits? What? We have something to eat and a place to sleep. It's already good."
This is also a point that it took her a long time to adapt to after she came to Qinglongling. She can rely on her weaving skills to exchange for her daily necessities, and she still has a surplus.Although she is old, her craft is still there.In the beginning, she didn't have her own weaving equipment, so she used the set that Sangjie Hai Qiniang and the others brought from Danyang City.Then one day after they saved a lot of money, they went to find Meng Shisan and his son and Santu, a member of the Qigong tribe.The master mechanics discussed and made the second set of textile utensils by themselves, with a wooden wheel structure and copper heads as hammers, which was very labor-saving.
The weavers got a second utensil, which was more efficient, and they took in some new little girls to teach them skills.And knowing that "as long as you have enough exchange goods, you can get your own means of production", this old lady who is not young is even more motivated than when she was young.After spinning for a lifetime, in the end I can finally have something that belongs to me.Now she works hard and wants to have her own weaving wheel.
Fang Zhengdao: "Old man, continue to talk about those four witch spirits."
"Okay." The old man wiped away tears. Although they worked day and night in Xiazhu's weaving workshop, every year during the "Shao Dance" festival, everyone went to watch the dance sacrifice on the high platform of the temple.Someone will pretend to be the four witch spirits and read aloud their respective domains, their divine powers and punishments for those who do not obey the rules.
"Adisha is red, her upper body is a fish, her lower body is a human, and she holds a sword. She is the flame of life, and she is in charge of order. Shagoche is black, and his head is a bird's head, with three hands. Rod, whose song beckons death, is of judgment; Vielon is blue, and he has a leopard's tail, and his wrist pierces ten barks, and his voice drives away sickness, and is of succession; Mole is White, she has a serpent's tail, holds a ball of white jade, she is Chaos of Return, and holds omens."
Although many years have passed, the old lady is still impressive.The images of these four witch spirits are exaggerated, they are repeated every year, and anyone can recite them silently.After doing something bad, you have to worry about being condemned by the Wu Ling all the time.
"This is a complete belief system." Fang Zheng thought back to the origin of the strange animals in the "Shan Hai Jing", guessing that the red fish head with a human body should be a red fish; the black bird head with three hands is a bit like Zhai Runiao The human-shaped leopard tail may be the god's long vehicle that is being taught; while the pale human-faced snake tail is either the fat leg that caused all kinds of catastrophes, or the nine babies of the monster.
Fang Zheng wondered if Xia Zhu's witch spirit chose the images of these monsters, could he get a glimpse of the battle memories they had in the long river of history?Had their ancestors in the past encountered or conquered those monsters?It was so impressive that it was written into the inheritance from generation to generation?
Are these monsters the descendants of all kinds of huge creatures that wandered on the ground?Does it also have a relationship with the Huaxu people's dragon beast?Fang Zheng was not sure.
"I know the four witch spirits, let me tell you what is the number of living people." Fang Zhengdao, "In addition to being able to breathe and move, a human being is a human being if he has a heart and a brain, otherwise he is an animal, even worse than an animal. There are many people in Xiazhu who only have a body, and the witch spirit is their spirit. If they don’t have their own will, they are not living people. You know what you have, what you want, and how to get it, and you are the real living people .so we outnumber them 'living people'. You must be thinking by now, so what? Can we beat them?"
Although the surroundings were silent, it could be seen from everyone's eyes that Fang Zheng had hit their point - life was better than Xia Zhu's slaves, but how could he defeat the two elite troops of Kaiyao and Flying Badgers?Xia Zhu also recruited so many new recruits.The total number of people in Qinglongling is no match for an army of others.
Although the leader has the huge dragon, Zifeng is also quite powerful in combat, and they also have bronze armor weapons and "explosive//powder".But after all, there are so many people on the other side.The utensils used by Xia Zhu to grind solid jade can also reflect that their weapon making level is certainly not low.
Fang Zheng looked around the circle of core administrative staff and several observers.In fact, if it is a specific strategy, it will not be so widely advertised.But a certain revolutionary leader's struggle methods are diverse and wonderful, and the strategy he wants to talk about, I wish more people would know the better.
"A sage once said that when shooting a man, shoot a horse first, and when capturing a thief, first capture the king. If we have the supernatural power to capture King Xiazhu, there will be no need to fight. Of course, it is impossible for him to be captured in the heavily guarded high city of Yanglun Jiuren." Captured. Then the next best thing is to decide who is the second most important person in Xia Zhu's army?"
Big Bronze Fang answered quickly: "It's Suo Lan, the commander of the armored servants. This time, she will lead the troops herself."
"Do you know anything about this female commander?" Fang Zheng asked and answered with him, so that the people present could understand more clearly.
Big Bronze Tooth and the others have been guarding Cangwu Abyss for many years, and know a lot of information, "Suo Lan is the youngest general of the armored army in history, and the only female commander in Xia Zhu today. When she was 17 years old, she brought 100 People ambushed and attacked the [-] guards of Yanglun City, and captured Xibo, the confidant of the previous king. She supported Taikang's younger brother Zhongkang to succeed him, and was reused by him. She served as a vanguard officer in the armored army at first. A few years ago, Hu Tao, the commander of the armored army, was old and incompetent, so Zhongkang promoted Suo Lan to be the new leader of the army, and he will keep pace with the commander of the Flying Badger Army, Pang Meng."
Fang Zheng turned his head and asked the old man who explained the four witch spirits just now: "There must be a lot of discussion in Xiazhu territory."
The old woman shook her head and said, "I'm old, and I can't remember what I heard."
"Don't be afraid here, I'll tell you for you." Fang Zhengdan said, "Xia Zhu is different from Zu Jiang. It is a patriarchal society. It is very difficult for a woman to gain power. She is young and in a high position. The legend. The more legendary the more people will be talked about. Talk about her acquaintance with Zhongkang when she was young. Talk about whether she really got to that position by virtue of military merits? Naturally, the armored army will not allow such remarks to spread. If anyone talks about it secretly, If you are caught, you will be punished, so your conditioned reflex is very nervous."
There are also many people in this room who are learning about this female general's experience for the first time, and they can't help showing similar puzzled expressions.Fang Zheng looked at those gazes and sighed, "At the beginning when Lian Zifeng was appointed as the commander of the Zujiang Kunxiu camp, I heard people talk about him all the way at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. I'm not blaming you. It's just that many people, When you hear that someone has done something you can't do, you subconsciously feel that he is not worthy, and he uses unknown means."
Someone lowered his head with a shameful expression on his face, Fang Zheng pretended not to see, and continued: "In other words, we must not underestimate her. You might as well use your brains, how to 'precisely strike'?"
Meng Xiaojun said: "When we were in Danshan, we went to Xia Zhu to exchange jade. Sometimes we would help them with affairs. When we got in touch with the low-level members of the Flying Badger Army, they sometimes spread unfavorable remarks against Solan in the territory, saying that she had no He was appointed because of his real ability and having an affair with the king. I think the differences between the two armies can be used to spread rumors."
Fang Zheng pondered, and said: "According to the information I have, there is indeed a suspicion between Xia Zhu's armored servants and the Flying Badger Legion. But one is bright and one is dark, and the division of labor is different. It is not easy for outsiders to provoke. And you Having said that, it’s just low-end rumors at the bottom, the more they spread, the more those warriors feel sorry for the strength and dedication of the commander, and become more loyal.”
Fang Zheng's analysis is very correct, the cohesion of the armored army has not decreased but increased.Sustained by the personal charm of Solan.Regarding the incident in Danyang City, brother Xiaoyao and other lower-level armored servants ran away with Fang Zheng in order to avoid the disaster of killing themselves.Peng Meng blamed Feng Yi's killing on the armored army, and it was not a matter until Suo Lan was fined to kneel all night.Pang Meng was a veteran of the three dynasties, no one dared to lose face.However, the upper echelon of the Armed Forces has become more and more fond of the commander who is willing to atone for their crimes, and will not be affected by those rumors.
"The relationship is so deep, so what should I do?" Even the cunning Elder Xuansi frowned, "The most difficult thing to deal with is people who have the same heart."
Fang Zheng said lightly: "Then, let them feel more distressed."
"What does the leader mean?" Everyone asked suspiciously.
Fang Zheng sighed pretendingly: "I cherish talents, and I can't understand some things the most. The most distressing thing is that I have worked hard for the monarch, but not only is not understood, but even led by suspicion and jealousy. Famous generals, beauties, loyal It's like fire, what a pity."
Amid everyone's puzzled expressions, Fang Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Let's go. You will understand everything in a few days. Now you just need to know that our Chinese people in Qinglongling have difficulties with those who have difficulties. People who are always willing to lend a helping hand.”
Prince Wei Yu still needs to take the antidote given by Fang Zheng on a regular basis.But not only did he not feel wronged, but he lived happily every day.In the days of Qinglongling, he had to rely on himself. Fortunately, there are abundant products here, and he also has a loyal galloping wolf, which is very convenient for hunting in exchange for living expenses.
Under the management of Fang Zheng, Qinglongling is prosperous and peaceful, the folk customs are simple, and the national temperament is free and civilized.The girls are also first-class and interesting, but they make Prince Weiyu very happy.He felt that this was a joy that he had never felt in the life of being served by others.So when Fang Zheng asked him to send a letter back to Yu Yi Rao Wo, Prince Wei Yu's first reaction was to refuse.
"I don't want to go back. Can't the scout deliver the letter?"
"The rebuke can't be handed over to your father directly." Fang Zheng's message was engraved on the white bark and packed in the buckle belt. There was no lock in this era.So the safety of sending a message depends entirely on the sender. "Actually, it's okay to let you bring a message. I'm afraid it's too long and you won't be able to remember it."
Prince Wei Yu hadn't realized that he was disgusted by Fang Zheng because his brain was not good enough, so he was entangled in not wanting to deliver the letter to Yu Yi.
"What if I don't come back?"
"You still have to come back to take the antidote." Fang Zheng said, "Will your father let you die?"
"I don't know. Maybe in his eyes I'm already a dead person." Prince Wei Yu whispered.
Fang Zheng smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "No, I'm sure. He will let you come back."
"why?"
"He's still counting on you to be Qinglongling's eyeliner."
Prince Wei Yu glanced at Fang Zheng in surprise, and quickly shook his head: "I don't! I won't be his eyeliner! You have to trust me! Don't drive me away!"
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Of course I won't drive you away—because I want you to be Yu Yi's eyeliner."
Prince Wei Yu stared at Fang Zheng dumbfounded, unable to say a word for a long time, and did not dare to refuse directly.But he also really didn't want to become Fang Zheng's internal spy to deal with his suzerain country.Fang Zheng stopped making fun of him, and gave a step down: "Let's not talk about this first. Let me tell you the content of the information, so as not to lose or damage it on the way. You keep it in your mind."
There is no proper way to preserve it these days.Maybe some unknown bugs or plants encountered on the road will corrode the bark.The road was not smooth either.
Fang Zheng cleared his throat: "Lord Xiazhu married the princess of the Badian Shuiyan clan. Such a big event, why didn't Lord Yuyi send a golden luan there? If the monarch doesn't want to, I will ask Lian Zifeng to send Zhu Luan there gone."
Prince Weiyu realized later: "That's it? You think I can't remember it?... No, what do you mean? Where can I get Jinluan? No, Jinluan is not just caught casually, the saint's Luan Wu may not be able to lead it out of the first copper mountain."
Fang Zhengdao: "You don't have to worry about it, just bring the original words to King Yu Yi. He is a smart man and will understand."
Only then did Prince Weiyu recall it, and said in surprise, "Could it be that you want my father to send Jinluan to destroy King Xiazhu's wedding? Then do I have to bring the saint with me? Only she can call luanbirds." .Hey, I don’t think it’s right. Isn’t it all right to find Lian Zifeng? Can’t he call Zhu Luan? Tell me what it means. Hey, I really don’t understand..."
Fang Zheng was finally irritated by him: "Don't talk nonsense! Now! Pack up and go!"
Immediately, two arranged warriors carried Prince Wei Yu into the house to pack his things.Fang Zheng strode away.The warriors around him couldn't hear him, Fang Zheng seemed to be talking to himself, "You said this man has been a prince in Yu Yi for more than ten years...why didn't he inherit that old fox at all?"
Suddenly, Lian Zifeng, the "Envoy of the Gods" appeared beside Fang Zheng like a ghost, and no one could see how he came here.Maybe it was hiding on the side of the road just now, or maybe it jumped from the air.Although the samurai following behind have experienced it several times, they are still about to be startled suddenly.
Zifeng followed Fang Zheng and said, "Brother Zheng, how did you know that old fox Yu Yi can tune Jinluan. I haven't had time to tell you."
Fang Zheng shook his head and patted Pat Zifeng's shoulder, "It's okay, when you lost your sanity at the beginning of your blood, you recruited Zhu Luan to break through the bell net in Rao Wo City. At that time, I was thinking, what is Rao Wo Li? What is it that keeps you thinking about it even if you lose your mind? At first I thought it was the sinews of snakes that make bowstrings. But then I thought, at that time you had no 'human' memory, so what do you need bowstrings for? The old fox like Lord Yu Yi has such a strong desire to control, he will not let go of a huge uncontrollable force. I guess he must find a way to make Jin Luan a killer. Last time he wanted to bring back the saint at the banquet, I don't agree, he didn't insist in the end, which means he must have a backup plan for Zhao Jinluan."
Zifeng nodded: "I wanted to enter Raowo City at that time, but I felt that there was a golden luan in the city." He was embarrassed to scratch his head, "At that time...the blood power...and very hungry..."
It is also said that the first time Jinlong devoured gluttonous food was to eat Zhu Luan.Since ancient times, the biological instinct of dragon beasts to eat ostriches has not disappeared.
Fang Zheng asked: "As expected, King Yuyi not only summoned him, but also let Jinluan stay in Raowo, how will he mobilize?"
Zifeng said: "I don't know what method that old fox used. He may have locked up Jinluan and is trying to train him, but he may not be able to send Jinluan out to kill people. Even if brother Zheng asks the fourth prince to deliver a letter. Yu Yi The king may not agree."
Fang Zhengdao: "Of course. I'm just telling him. Don't try to hide the cards, and don't think that watching Xia Zhu fight us can be a sideline. If he has great skills and sends out the golden luan, he will naturally be able to attack Xia Zhu. If he You can't send him out until he's trained well. You'll also call Zhu Luan over there. The Luan bird is their fetish, and their punishment is also theirs. Since he wants to be on the same boat as us in Qinglongling, he has to bear the risk together. "
Zifeng nodded, "Then, Brother Zheng, I'm leaving too."
"Okay, be careful, don't confront the armored soldiers head-on."
"Brother Zheng, don't worry, ordinary people and weapons can't hurt me. Brother Zheng. I lurk at the wedding banquet, maybe I have a chance to assassinate King Xia Zhu."
Fang Zheng's face sank like water, "Don't kill him. Those four weird witch spirit beliefs can't be simply rumors. You are very strong, but don't forget their imam ants. They can't even resist dragons and beasts. What's more... some It can’t happen again.”
Fang Zheng stopped in his tracks, showing a rare look of melancholy. He took out a bag of things from his arms, and unfolded it into a bag of dust, but the color was scarlet.
"This is brought to me by scouts, the soil quality of Badian in the south. Now tens of thousands of people have died there, the floods are raging, and people have been displaced... This is all my sin. I want to restore that side to half of Qinglongling today. I don’t even know it will take decades. This is the power of destruction. I carry this bag of soil every day. When I sleep at night, it presses on my heart. I am surrounded by screams and corpses in my dreams. I see I don't know their faces clearly, but I heard all the Badian people in the dream saying: Fang Zheng, you are a devil."
Zifeng's clear black eyes swayed slightly, this was one of the few moments when Fangzheng showed love and compassion.He knew that what brother Zheng said was true. On a starless and moonless night, he heard the restless breathing of Fang Zheng next door when he was sleeping, and knew that he was tortured in his dream.Zifeng would sit on the edge of the bed silently, taking Fang Zheng into his arms, as if sending him the power to fight against dreams.
"I don't regret it. I will take the most ruthless means of revenge for my homeland again. But I will not shirk it. No matter how many people in this world want to kill me, I will bear these shackles for the rest of my life." Fang Zheng's eyes turned deep, "Why don't I know your strength? You rushed into Yanglun City, desperately, and your blood flowed like a river. I don't want to see such a thing. But if you don't stop it, Solan will bring the armored army to the south , It is us who are bleeding into rivers. Instead of being slashed with two swords, it is better to rein in the opponent's hand in advance. Then find a way to coexist and negotiate, form an alliance like Yu Yi, and everyone develops together. We are called Hua, they It's Xia Zhu...it should be...ah."
Zifeng heard Fang Zheng mutter a few words in a very low voice, but he couldn't make out what it was "Huaxia... Shuiyuntian... Spring Breeze... Mountains and Seas...", and then Fang Zheng seemed to realize that he had made a slip of the tongue, and said it as if nothing had happened. Back to the topic just now.
Zifeng suppressed his doubts and said, "Why don't you assassinate Suo Lan?"
"Rebellion. Soldiers will be more angry." Fang Zheng shook his head, "I said, it's better to make them feel bad. The phoenix enters the city and creates chaos. You look for an opportunity to sneak attack Xia Zhu Wang Si Zhongkang. You can't kill him, but let Solan Protect him from some injuries. The injury can't be too serious, otherwise the leader of the army will be replaced. But it can't be too insignificant. The wound is the crack. In addition, I have other speculations that I need you to confirm for me. It is related to the next step Arrangement. If I guess correctly, I am sure to eliminate this military disaster."
"What speculation?"
"In this world, if someone is willing to dedicate his energy, strength, and ability to a person without complaint or regret, and will never leave him for more than ten years from childhood to adulthood. He has not received any special benefits. What is the general reason?"
With the inspiration of the glorious spirit and the brainwashing of loyalty thoughts in later generations, such dedication is not uncommon.But in the age of ignorance and desolation, how many people can have the ideal consciousness of great unity like Yao and Shun?
Fang Zheng was very concerned about the intelligence comparison brought back by the reprimands who taught him: Ever since he became the commander of the legion, Pang Meng has kept slaves on a large scale. In many places, the Flying Badger Army even selected from his private slaves.He owned more land and more slaves than the king's brothers.But Soran didn't have much land and slaves, and she almost didn't want the money the king gave her, saying that she didn't have time to take care of it.Almost all time spent in military affairs.
Zifeng was somewhat dissatisfied and said, "I am also willing to contribute to Brother Zheng."
Fang Zheng patted Zifeng's head, "What does it mean when you compare yourself?"
Only then did Zifeng suddenly realize, Fang Zheng sighed deeply, and stared into the distance, "She must... must love that man very much. Tell me, is there any love in the world that does not include the desire for exclusive possession? If I suddenly want to marry Yu Yu for political reasons What kind of princess is getting married, how do you treat it?"
Zifeng's face turned pale, and he said angrily, "Who is marrying you! I'll kill her!"
Fang Zheng was amused by his angry look, "It's just a hypothetical, what if I said that for the sake of the overall situation, no killing and no mistakes in the wedding?"
Zifeng held his head gloomily, "Then I'll just kill myself."
Fang Zheng was amused again, "If I say, no, you have to continue to protect me, otherwise I will be in danger, so what?"
Zifeng stared at Fang Zheng: "Brother Zheng, then I will have no choice but to never be a human again. It's not crazy."
Fang Zheng said leisurely: "If I really encountered danger, you blocked the disaster for me, but you yourself were injured. However, you have to be ordered to lead troops to conquer distant lands, just to avenge my so-called wife's land, even if You know this is a political excuse to send troops... Zifeng, you have been acting alone, but Suo Lan has [-] sons of flesh and blood under his command. How do they feel?"
Zifeng finally fully understood Fang Zheng's words: "Distressed."
Fang Zheng led Zifeng to the heights of Qinglong Ridge to see the beauty of this happy place to live in: "Qinglong Ridge is so beautiful, so it is suitable for recuperating from injuries. This is also the method of a certain big man, called 'struggling with the heart'."
"Brother Zheng wants to instigate her? Is it possible?"
"How do you know if you don't try? Zifeng, you are the only one who knows my plan. Look at you. Be careful in Yanglun City. After going through so many things, you must remember that no matter how strong you are, you have weaknesses. So Don't take risks just because you are invulnerable, help me confirm Solan's weakness, and then come back safely."
Zifeng rolled his eyes, and suddenly asked again: "Then what about brother Zheng? Is it me that is your weakness?" He has never been so confident.
Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows slantingly, looked at Zifeng's reborn handsome face, put his hand on his forehead, and said, "No." He didn't want Zifeng to be too complacent.And on the surface, he hasn't forgiven this guy yet.No matter how tacitly he doesn't declare that the name is real, Fang Zheng doesn't want to admit it so quickly.Red Heart Shaoxian Dui's Good Reading
Sure enough, Zifeng was not convinced again. These days, Zifeng gradually became convinced: besides himself, who else is there?He bit his lip again, putting on that aggrieved and coquettish look. "Brother Zheng, I don't believe it."
"However." Fang Zheng rubbed his head with a smile, and comforted him: "You are not my weakness, you are my little baby."
Sorry for the delay.I love you all.I want to finish writing well.
