Fang Daye was really exhausted, as if a vehicle that was disrepaired looked very complete. When he went out to push it for a while, he was in danger of falling apart. In that battle, he was not injured, but after returning to the city, he took a full five days to recover. He was able to get out of bed and walk, but his stomach was still bulging high.

He didn't have to carry the flag or work. When the soldiers guarding the city crossed the river and joined the army, he was in the prisoner's book because of his fame and had no need to follow the army. He did nothing every day, like an ordinary old man, wandered on the street or sat in the sun for half a day.

His favorite place was the city wall, which often walked around on it, and no one stopped him. A soldier followed behind him, with a folded stool on his shoulder, which was opened for the veteran general at any time.

That afternoon, Fang Daye sat on a folding bench, wrapped in a cloak, looking westward at Liusha City. He could hear the sound of wind in his ears. The soldier lay in the middle of the walls and threw stones under the city boredly.

Han Ruzi climbed up to the city wall and signaled the guards to stay where they were. He walked to the old general alone and looked with him, neither of them spoke.

When the soldier heard the footsteps, he turned around and saw General Zhenbei. He stuck out his tongue and stood there for a while. Finally, he realized and ran away.

"Gen. Fang is fine?"

"Yeah, I can still breathe."

"I have been busy these days and haven't come to thank the old general Fang for his sake."

Fang Daye turned his head and looked at General Zhenbei, "What do you thank me?"

"Thank you, General Fang for your life-saving grace."

Fang Daye lowered his head and thought for a while, "If the general had to thank his subordinates for their 'life-saving grace' after every battle, you would owe many favors until you could not afford it."

Han Ruzi smiled, "What will a qualified general do?"

"Please eat and drink and give rewards. The most important thing is to evaluate military merits. The faster the better. Private thanks are only temporary, and military merits are a lifelong thing. However, this time there are too many casualties in the battle, so there should be no military merits. I can sit here and bask in the sun, which is the best reward."

Han Ruzi walked to the place where Xiaobing had just stood, leaned down and looked down. The broken iron city was built in the wilderness. It was not tall at all from a distance. Only when standing on it could you notice the height of the city wall.

"What is the chance of the Chu army defeating this battle?" Han Ruzi turned around and asked.

Fang Daye thought for a while, "Give me a bow, and have some luck. I can shoot an enemy hundreds of steps away, but it's so far, and I don't know anything about it at a distance even further than this."

"The Old General Fang understands the Huns..."

"Farmers understand crops, but they are not farmers who serve as farmers. I am just a soldier. I don't know anything except wars. I am born to be controlled by others, not by others."

Han Ruzi smiled, and wanted Fang Daye to speak out his thoughts, which was much more difficult than asking him to bend his bow and shoot arrows.

"Can you talk about the father and son of the King of Qi?"

Fang Daye turned his head and stared at him, with anger in his eyes, "Yes, you are General Zhenbei, you can say anything."

"Do you think they are wronged?"

"Not unfair."

"Then why...you still want to rob the prison and save the prince of Qi?"

"Because I am not a criminal, I cannot judge whether the King of Qi and his son were wronged or not. I am the prince's guardian, so I will naturally fulfill my duty as the guardian."

"Well, very good. You are the auxiliary military lieutenant now. Do your responsibilities." Han Ruzi took out a letter of appointment, walked to Fang Daye, and handed it over.

Fang Daye took it in his hand in confusion, opened it for a while, "Do you pay me a redeem the punishment?"

"The General is willing to support my troops for a year and save a lot of money, which just happens to redeem the sentence of the Old General Fang."

Fang Daye was silent for a while, "Even if I was a repealed, I was just a commoner. What's going on with this 'Assistant Military Captain'?"

"I appointed you, and you will be the auxiliary military captain in my team from now on."

Fang Daye said nothing, it didn’t seem like he was favored, but it seemed like he was being plotted against.

"Of course, if you don't agree, you can go back to your hometown to reunite with your family at any time, and you are no longer a prisoner."

Fang Daye slowly stood up, one head higher than Han Ruzi, "You have too great ambitions but too weak. Following you, I'm afraid that even the whole family's lives will be taken in."

Han Ruzi didn't defend himself, "I have prepared 300 taels of silver and related documents. When will General Fang set off?"

"Let's go tomorrow." Fang Daye picked up the siege and turned around and left.

Han Ruzi looked at the wide and hunched back and felt worried. Until Fang Daye walked down the steps, he sighed regretfully.

Han Ruzi walked to the north city and looked across the river. The army camp was faintly visible, but there were not many people inside. Almost all of the 30,000 Chu troops were dispatched to the designated location to block the retreating Xiongnu. As expected, the battle should have ended, but the news has not yet arrived.

Loach hurriedly ran up, "General, Mr. Lin is back."

Han Ruzi was shocked. Unexpectedly, Lin Kunshan dared to come back to see him, so he hurried down the city wall and rode his horse back home.

Lin Kunshan was having a great time talking with King Donghai in the hall. When he saw Juehou, he immediately stood up and saluted, "Mr. Juehou, please forgive me. Lin failed to complete the entrusted work and came back too late."

Lin Kunshan was ordered to persuade Feng Shili not to believe Jin Chunbao's words, but the army still rushed to block the Huns, and he delayed a few days before he came back. It was indeed not necessary.

Han Ruzi once suspected that the qi-seeker was related to the riots in the pass, but he couldn't say anything at this time. He smiled and said, "It's good to come back. I thought Mr. Lin had an accident. Without Mr. Lin, I felt like I had lost my right arm and did nothing smoothly."

King Donghai didn't move, and kept sitting on the chair, listening to Han Ruzi lying with a smile, which made him very interesting.

Lin Kunshan bowed, "Junhou has been rewarded for me. If I have an arm, I will be useless. After staying with Juunhou for so long, I have not helped me, but I have insulted my mission."

"I thought it was too simple. The riots were in the pass, and the court was eager to end the war with the Huns. General Han and General Feng You both had to act on orders. Even gods could not persuade them to disobey."

The two of them were polite to each other for a while, and Lin Kunshan said, "When I talked about accidents, I did delay some things for a few days at Shenxiong Pass."

"Oh? Mr. Lin, please sit down."

Lin Kunshan sat down and said seriously: "In the past month, there have been frequent riots in various counties and counties in the pass."

"As Mr. Lin expected before: there will be chaos in autumn."

Lin Kunshan sighed, "Junhou thought I had expected it correctly, but he didn't know that I was more surprised than Juunhou."

"How could it be? Didn't the riots incite?

Lin Kunshan smiled bitterly, "Those who look at the air are afraid of this kind of thinking. To be honest, some look at the air are indeed going to various places to experience the sufferings of the people, observing the general trend, thinking that there will be riots after the autumn begins. We did not incite anyone, just watch."

Han Ruzi smiled.

Lin Kunshan continued: "The scope and scale of the riots were beyond our expectations. I received a letter from my teacher Chunyu at Shenxiong Pass. My teacher believed that the general situation was chaotic and no one could see the direction clearly, and we could not predict the future. My teacher asked me to remind Juehou: At this time, it is best to stay away from right and wrong, protect yourself, and only after the chaos can we follow the trend."

Han Ruzi smiled and said, "Have Mr. Lin met the Hua family at Shenxiong Pass?"

"Hua Family?" Lin Kunshan was stunned.

"Junyang Hou Huabin and his son Huahu King."

"Oh, the Hua family, I can't meet them at Shenxiong Pass. Mayor Jue Hou still don't know that the father and son of the Hua family became bandits and became kings in Yunmengze in the south. They attracted many heroes and poor people in the rivers and lakes. The riots in the counties and counties in the pass have benefited a lot, and they are said to have gathered 20,000 to 30,000 people."

Donghai King said in surprise: "Hua Bin has become king? Did he think he didn't die fast enough? The person who is looking at the air has a good relationship with the Hua family, so he won't persuade him?"

Lin Kunshan smiled and said, "Those who look at the energy only follow the trend and not go against the trend. Junyang Hou insisted on becoming the king, and no one could persuade him. We will not waste our efforts."

"I will also give Jun Yang Hou an advice to help him rebel." Han Ruzi added.

Lin Kunshan smiled for a while, "If someone who is really angry goes to assist Junyang Hou, I won't be surprised, but I do not know much about the situation there. By the way, Junyang Hou is now calling himself "Yunmeng King" or "Yun King".

"Hey, I think it's the 'Dream King'." King Donghai was a real royal prince and was full of contempt for those who claimed to be kings.

Those who look up at the qi are not trustworthy, but Han Ruzi didn't want to get rid of them yet, so he said, "No matter what, welcome Mr. Lin back. Thank you Mr. Chunyu for your reminder. I will stay in Shaticheng honestly. Unless the court transfers me into the pass, I cannot do anything to resist the order."

"That's certain."

King Donghai realized that his presence was a little unnecessary, and stood up and smiled, "You guys talk. I'll go find Cui Teng. He has the best relationship with King Huahu. Now he is a 'prince', so he's still proud."

King Donghai said goodbye, and Zhang Youcai came in again, "Master, Fang Daye came to the mansion to collect the money and documents..."

"Give it all to him." Han Ruzi said that he could not use Fang Daye at the moment, so it would be better to let the old general return home.

Zhang Youcai stepped down and Lin Kunshan said, "Fang Daye is an amazing person. Did Juanhou let him go?"

"It's useless to force yourself to stay. It's better to do something good, and this can be considered 'going with the flow'."

Lin Kunshan laughed loudly, "Mr. Jue is deeply rooted in the essence." Then he put away his smile and leaned forward and said, "If you do nothing and do everything, you must follow the trend, create momentum, and be able to do things."

"Mr. Lin's words are so profound, I'm so confused."

"The world is already in chaos, like a flood, and human resources cannot be fought against, but you have to find a high place to take shelter. Only when the truth is revealed can you be qualified to follow the trend."

"Isn't the Broken Iron City tall enough?"

"The broken iron city is lonely outside the border, with no land or people. The Xiongnu are adjacent to the north and will be captured at any time, and the Xiongguan is separated in the south. Once there is something wrong, it will not be able to advance or retreat. Not only is it not high, but it is actually a depression among the depression."

"So, did Mr. Lin get advice from Mr. Chunyu?"

Lin Kunshan nodded, "My teacher suggested that Juenhou seize the Shenxiong Pass, where it is high enough."

Han Ruzi smiled and said, "I am a royal marquis and a general appointed by the imperial court. How could I 'seize' the Shenxiong Pass? Besides, I only have a thousand troops under my command, so what can I use to seize the pass?"

"The victory of the pass is not due to the large number of people, but at the right time, now is the time. Thirty thousand Chu troops are fighting against the Huns in Hebei. The guard of the pass is ordered to return to Beijing, and there is no commander in Shenxiong Pass."

"Wu Xiu has returned to Beijing?" Han Ruzi was really surprised.

Wu Xiu was the emperor's uncle. When he returned to Beijing at this time, it seemed to indicate something. (To be continued.)
