Chapter 398 [The right time, place and people]
Another person with a childish face looked around and saw that the white-clothed Fang Chang was not looking this way, and the shop owner was busy, so he calmed down and said in a low voice:
"I heard, I heard yesterday that it's because the people around Zhizhou are actually in the same group!"
"People who know about this all speculate that they incited the magistrates to attack each other because they didn't see each other well.
"But when the rebels came over, they had no choice but to unite and join hands."
The woman among the five said:
"According to this, it's not just a few prefects who have the final say?"
"That's not true!" the young man said, "It is said that Zhizhou has been controlled by them from the very beginning, so these states seem to be independent of each other, but they are actually one. When the rebel army comes, it will be up to you who wins and loses." It's on."
So the five of them sighed and remained silent, continuing to drink tea.
There were actually four people at the table next to them. Fang Chang glanced at them just now when they entered the store. The first one was a man with a yellow face, followed by a tall man with a male and female face, with a very beautiful appearance, and then two young men, a man and a woman. people.
They all carry weapons with them, they sit and lie down well in action, and they move nimbly. They are obviously practitioners. But the Jianghu spirit on them is not heavy, it seems that they should be the children of good families who often practice martial arts in the local area. After all, the outside world is a bit chaotic, and it's normal to wear weapons for body protection.
After a while, the yellow-faced man in the lead suddenly said:
"It's a good thing. At least during this period of time, the common people don't have to suffer from military disasters. But the taxes may be heavier. After all, several prefectures want to unite against the rebels, alas."
The tall man echoed: "I really don't know when this day will be the boss."
Several people shook their heads together again.
Suddenly, a voice from here interjected: "These days will come to an end after a certain party wins completely."
The four of them were startled, and immediately looked over, only to see that it was the man in white who was already sitting there when he just walked into the store. The clothes on his body are not stained with dust. Although the sword on his back is ordinary, it gives people a sense of sharpness. The gourd on his waist and the strange-looking package on his back don't look cheap.
It was Fang Chang. He heard the chatting content of several people and spoke up.
They didn't know who the other party was, so they immediately paid attention to it. It was the yellow-faced man who led the way, and said tentatively: "This gentleman is right, I don't know, which side do you think wins, and the people will have a peaceful life?" ?”
Fang Chang smiled, put down his glass, turned to look at them and said:
"If the prefects win and lose external pressure, they will definitely split up again and attack each other. The war and chaos that the people fear most will come again."
"And the rebels have already occupied a small half of the world, but I heard that they are governed by a well-organized government and a harmonious people, which is quite a new look."
"So let me tell you that of course the rebels won and wiped out the prefects, so that the common people could regain stability and peace. I believe you all know this in your heart. Is what I said right?"
Hearing Fang Chang's statement, the people on the table next to him nodded slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.
It was the shopkeeper who was cutting vegetables next to him. Hearing this, his hands trembled and he almost cut himself with the blade.
"Mr. is right, we naturally think so. After all, what these prefects have done before can no longer make people believe that they will quit and give back to the people."
But the woman next to him suddenly said: "It seems that Mr. is a knowledgeable person. I don't know if you have seen the appearance of the rebel army? According to your opinion, which of the two sides can win?"
Fang Chang nodded and said: "I have traveled a lot and passed by the rebel army. It is really good there, and the people have regained their normal lives. By the way, the rebel army has been recruiting people from all over the world. I see a few You are also talented, do you want to join the army and end this chaos in the world as soon as possible?"
"Of course there is." The youngest person said, "We have intended this for a long time, but there are still things to deal with, so we can't leave immediately. But we are going to leave soon, and we have one last thing to do. After processing, immediately head east to join the rebel army."
The spirit of these words was high, but the yellow-faced man in the lead was a little worried. He seemed to disapprove of telling Fang Chang, an outsider whom he met for the first time, the plan of several of them. Belly...
Fang Chang laughed and praised:
"Sure enough, he is a righteous man."
"As far as I am concerned, it is not a big problem for the rebels to win this battle."
"Since ancient times, no matter what happens, we have paid attention to the right time, place and people, but the right time is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the harmony of people."
"It's hard to say between the two sides today, the location may be more familiar with the local side, but even a few people living in this state are looking forward to the arrival of the rebels, which shows that the hearts of the people are there.
"Don't forget, the soldiers under Zhizhou are also human beings, and they are also the people of several states. Seeing this, will they really have the heart to fight?"
"On the contrary, the rebels came here with great righteousness. It is common to fight bravely for the first place, so this battle should be able to return the local people to a bright future."
After the voice fell, the four people on the opposite side saw more expressions on their faces.
But the shopkeeper who heard the young people saying that they were going to join the rebel army, suddenly packed a few cakes, put them on the table, and said:
"Send it to the strong men, no money."
Then he turned around and left, as if he didn't want to hear their politeness and rejection at all.
The yellow-faced man was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said, "Thank you for the store's kindness, we accept it."
But the people here have really lived a life of war and chaos, and they hate the few Zhizhou in their hearts. It can be seen from this that the true hearts of the people are on the side of the rebels.
Then, Fang Chang asked about their affairs.
Because they had just exchanged ideas with each other, the two sides had already put down their guard, and the shopkeeper next to him was obviously on his side, so they finally started talking boldly with confidence.
It turned out that they were from a few nearby states. They were originally from a well-to-do family. They all studied martial arts and literature. Because they admired life outside, they gathered five people and sworn each other to form a gang.
As a result, the army broke out, and their family members were displaced. Seeing the miserable scenes of the people, they couldn't bear it, but they were alone and unable to resist.
Of course, this has no effect. Fortunately, the rumors of the rebels have come, giving a few people hope.
So they made up their minds and went south to join the army together.
As a result, before the trip was completed, the soldiers of the rebels came close, which saved the effort of rushing.
