Although Xue Wanche is stupid and stupid, he is stubborn. If you glare at him, he will dare to twist your head off, but if you are nice to him, he will give you all his blood...
He is a relatively pure person.
The two of them stood on a slightly higher hillock by the river, with soldiers standing guard on both sides. Xue Wanche asked: "What important matter does Erlang have to discuss?"
Fang Jun then told Xue Wanche to send troops to assist in detaining the prisoners. He said that he was asking for troops to assist, but in fact it was equivalent to driving more than 10,000 prisoners to the vicinity of Xue Wanche's camp, and Xue Wanche would completely take over...
Xue Wanche said nothing, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Erlang, just leave it to me. You can concentrate on fighting over there, don't need to be distracted by this."
Fang Jun reminded: "Don't agree so readily. This matter is not just about the tens of thousands of prisoners. The British government sent you to the north of the Wei River to intimidate my right guard. As a result, you But he helped me detain the prisoners...I am afraid the British Lord will not give up."
I asked you to look at this thief, but you ended up hanging out with the thief... Li Ji seemed to have an indifferent personality, but he was rigorous in running the army, and his methods were definitely not inferior to Changsun Wuji. Once he was angered, he would not spare Xue Wanche.
"Pooh!"
Xue Wanche's eyes widened, he spat, and cursed: "You are so idle and uncomfortable! You live a good life, but you are beaten back and forth for such a small profit, and your head is kicked by a donkey, right? Don't worry about this, Li Ji can't order me to release all the more than 10,000 prisoners, can he? These people are like sheep in pens, but once they are released, they will be a disaster, and the entire Guanzhong will be disrupted! As for punishment, it doesn't matter, I Now that he is the Duke of Wu'an County, he has no hope of being promoted to Duke in this life. He, Li Ji, can't beat me to the end, can he? He can do whatever he wants!"
To be strong without desire is what Xue Wanche is in now.
As a degraded general, he was given the title of Princess, and he was granted the title of Duke, and even controlled an army. His official titles in this life were all over. Even if he made great achievements, he would never be promoted to the title of Duke.
Because since the Northern Zhou Dynasty, although the prefix of the title "Jun Gong" has been prefixed with the word "Foundation of the Country", it actually does not have the right to found the country. The word "Foundation of the Country" is just an honorary title. The person who can really found the country is the "Gong Founding of the Country". The county prince is one level higher.
With Xue Wanche's identity and background, it is absolutely impossible for him to be granted the right to found the country, so it is impossible for him to advance further in his title in this life...
In this case, why is he afraid of Li Ji?
The worst thing is to just leave me alone and idle. I'm afraid of you?
I can't be happy about not having anything to eat or drink all day long. Who wants to mix in all these things with you...
Fang Jun laughed, gave a thumbs up, and praised: "The Duke not only has a mind as broad as the sea, but also has a perseverance as strong as a mountain. I admire you... In this case, I still have something to ask for, so why don't I give you some help?" How about providing grain and fodder support to help the people affected by the disaster in Guanzhong and doing another good deed?"
Xue Wanche frowned, glanced at Fang Jun doubtfully, thought for a while, and said, "Why do you feel like you are setting a trap for me?"
Fang Jun quickly shook his head: "That's not possible! I speak from the bottom of my heart, and I admire the Duke as a human being! However, the people in Guanzhong are severely affected by the disaster, and Chang'an City has no time to take care of it. I can only organize disaster relief and do my little bit. .However, after all, our strength is limited, and we are afraid that we will not be able to benefit more victims, so we sincerely ask the Duke to lend a helping hand to save Guanzhong! Not only the people in Guanzhong will remember the kindness of the Duke, but it will even leave a mark in the history books. For future generations to admire.”
"this……"
Xue Wanche's heart was hot, but if he was too excited and feared that Fang Jun would cancel it, he looked serious and said with emotion: "I don't care about reputation and honor, I just care about the people of Guanzhong, so even if I am punished by the commander, I will not hesitate! Then!
What... we didn’t do this just for the sake of fame, so don’t publicize it everywhere, lest people think we are too hypocritical and just trying to gain fame..."
His eyes were fixed on Fang Jun.
Fang Jun understood the idea and shook his head: "How could the Duke think so? Zigong redeemed the people of Lu from the princes, and gave them away without taking their gold. Confucius said: 'The gift is lost. From now on, the people of Lu will not redeem people.
If you take the gold, you will not harm your conduct; if you do not take the gold, you will not be able to redeem the person. "Zilu saved the person, and the people worshiped him with an ox, and Zilu accepted it. Confucius said: "The people of Lu will definitely save the person.
'The Duke of the county is naturally upright and honest, and does not covet the common name, but if he is not allowed to be famous, wouldn't he be like Zigong? Such noble conduct should be known to the world and admired by all the people, so that later generations can imitate it.
The people of the world will benefit immensely."
Xue Wanche was surprised and asked: "Is this still possible?"
Scholars are really interested. They are obviously taking advantage of the opportunity to gain fame, but they can still speak in a high-sounding way. On the contrary, it would be wrong if they do not seek fame and are not greedy for honor...
Fang Jun nodded solemnly: "That's right! Who can say that Confucius is wrong?"
Xue Wanche nodded repeatedly: "Confucius is an ancient sage, so he can't be wrong. It's just me who is shallow, so just follow Erlang."
I'm so beautiful in my heart. Is there a time when I, a rough guy like me, can gain my reputation?
Mother! This is a good thing. If Li Ji is willing to punish him, he can punish him. What the hell...
"When I get back, I'll have people deliver food to you. You've been on guard duty for so long and you're in short supply of medicine, right? I'll give you some as well. It's not much, but I want to express my sincerity. It's okay for the soldiers to lose their lives on the battlefield.
It is our duty to go to the battlefield and suffer injuries that claim our lives, but we generals must do our best to save every one we can because of our faults."
"Thank you so much, Duke!"
Fang Jun expressed his gratitude and said in his heart that this person must be guided, and if he was guided appropriately, he began to think that he was a kind person, full of enthusiasm, and every word was filled with noble benevolence...
In normal times, how could Xue Wanche care about the lives of the people and soldiers?
You will never die...
But now that I have been guided, I find that the cost of doing good deeds is not very high, but the rewards are huge. So who doesn’t want to be a good person?
Xue Wanche felt refreshed both physically and mentally. He felt that Fang Er was a good guy, so he couldn't be too stingy and just be a good person: "To be honest, I don't know very much about how to place those captives. Why don't we go to the north bank of the Weishui River to conduct an on-the-spot investigation together?"
, you give me some pointers."
Fang Jun nodded: "That's exactly what it should be!"
Xue Wanche turned around and said, "Let's ferry across the river immediately."
Fang Jun looked at the small boat on the shore that was being rocked by the turbulent current. He immediately felt unsure and said hurriedly: "The river is swollen and the waves are huge. It is really dangerous to ferry across the river at this time. You might as well cross the river from Zhongwei Bridge, although it will take a detour.
It's a little farther, but it's much safer. Just now I saw the Duke crossing the river, and I felt worried and regretted not warning you earlier."
If Xue Wanche was suddenly shipwrecked by a storm when he was crossing the river, he would feel guilty and be in trouble all his life. Although Fool Xue was not a good person, he treated his friends with great loyalty and was a very close friend.
Xue Wanche immediately transferred again, with lingering fear on his big face: "To tell you the truth, when we crossed the river just now, the boat shook, and I was frightened... I don't know how to swim! Do you think I am willing to cross the river by boat? Take
On the north side of the Zhongwei Bridge is the camp of the Tubo Huqi. No matter how stupid I am, I would not dare to cross there. If I were captured by them, wouldn't it be an injustice?"
When he came, he did not dare to walk on the Zhongwei Bridge. Now that Fang Jun was here, he forgot for a moment that the Tubo Huqi were brought by Fang Jun and were considered his allies, so he was reminded by Fang Jun and gave up the ferry immediately.
Cross the river and take the Zhongwei Bridge instead.
Immediately, the two groups of horses rode away from the Weishui River and galloped westward along the embankment along the river. They arrived near the Zhongwei Bridge every half an hour.
The original Zhongwei Bridge has been demolished, and the Youtunwei pontoon bridge is now erected on the river. Because the river has swollen and the water flow is fast, the pontoon bridge is swaying, but it is still stable.
The camp of the Tubo Huqi was set up in the north of the bridge, and they were ordered to take over the defense of the Zhongwei Bridge. At this moment, a group of Huqi was on duty at the head of the bridge. When they saw Fang Jun coming, they quickly stepped forward to greet him, and then escorted Fang Jun onto the bridge.
The floating bridge swayed with the turbulent river water, and it was difficult for the horses to maintain their balance. It was worth dismounting and holding the reins to cross the bridge on foot.
As we approached the river, a tree stump was carried by the river from upstream. It floated and sank in the river, and then hit the pontoon bridge, causing the pontoon bridge to sway violently and everyone walking on the bridge staggered.
, quickly keep your waist squatted and maintain balance.
