In the inn, two men with fierce aura and tiger-wolf eyes sat opposite each other. While they looked at each other, a sneer appeared on their faces.
The mighty man is He Ruobi, the founding general of the Sui Dynasty.
His surname is He Ruo, and he belongs to the Xianbei ethnic group. However, after Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty Hansified him, he, a Xianbei, is no longer much different from the Han people except that his appearance can still see traces of the Hu people.
The other person was naturally Shi Wansui, another general who founded the Sui Dynasty.
Several of the founding generals of the Sui Dynasty did not have a good relationship with each other.
For example, He Ruobi and Han Qinhu drew their swords at each other because they competed for the first victory over Chen.
Shi Wansui and Yang Su are even more at odds with each other. Shi Wansui was unjustly killed by Yang Jian because he listened to Yang Su's slander.
Although there was no major conflict between He Ruobi and Shi Wansui, neither one looked down on the other.
The Sui Dynasty inherited the customs of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, especially in the Northern Dynasties, the Hu Feng was very strong.
One of He Ruobi and Shi Wansui was extremely jealous and liked to express opinions too much, while the other had a bad temper and was so hot-tempered that he dared to slam the table in front of the emperor.
As a result, He Ruobi was sentenced to death by Yang Guang because of his talkativeness. Shi Wansui was killed on the spot because of his outright character and collided with Yang Jian. Among the four generals in the Sui Dynasty who were ranked in the martial arts temple, only one, Han Qinhu, met a good death.
Shi Wansui put down the rebellion, defeated the Turks, and wiped out the south of the Yangtze River. He had outstanding achievements and extraordinary personal bravery. He dared to charge directly into the enemy's formation to kill generals and seize the flag single-handedly, with almost no defeat.
After being unjustly killed, almost everyone cried out for him, and Yang Jian also regretted it. However, the man had already been killed, and for the sake of the king's dignity, he still listed many charges against Shi Wansui.
And He Ruobi... If we say he died unjustly, it was not too unjust. His crime was not that he had done anything heinous, but that he had offended the emperor at the top and his colleagues at the bottom, and he also liked to express his opinions too much.
After he was killed, no one cried out for him.
"It's a coincidence. I didn't expect to see General Shi here. Why, is the general coming to Yangzhou to see off his old master?"
He Ruobi said coldly.
Shi Wansui's eyes widened and he said unceremoniously: "I can go wherever I like, and why do I need to report to you? He Ruobi, stop pretending in front of me. Didn't you come to Yangzhou just to defect to King Huai? Why are you only allowed to do so? If you come, I can’t come?”
Kaka!
He Ruobi clenched his fists, and he could faintly hear the crackling of bones. His expression turned cold, and he looked at the person in front of him, wishing he could just punch his face to make it bleed.
"Reckless man! So rude, no wonder Yang Su had Yang Jian chop off his head after just two words!"
He Ruobi barely held back the emotions in his heart and said with a sneer.
"Aren't you the same? You're arrogant, jealous, and too competitive. You're devoid of kingship and talkative. You're like a resentful woman. Yang Jian's evaluation of you is really spot-on!"
Shi Wansui's words contained anger.
Both of them are top-notch generals listed in the martial arts temple. Even if they arrive early, they still have the strength of the ninth-level human realm. As long as the limit of the Chinese world expands, their strength will also increase.
It can be said that the two of them are the ceiling of the strength of military commanders in the Chinese world at this time.
If a fight really breaks out, less than half of the county will be destroyed, affecting tens of thousands of people.
As a famous general, when they first arrived in the world of China, they naturally wanted to know the surrounding situation and the situation in the world. Over the past few days, they continued to inquire for information and went to the bookstore to buy history books and read them.
Therefore, the two of them are very clear about their own results in history, and they also know the fate of the other party.
Actually.
When the two of them saw their ending in the history books, their lungs were about to explode. They thought that they had made countless contributions to the Sui Dynasty, but in the end they ended up like this, which was very worthless.
So after inquiring about the surrounding situation, the two of them no longer thought about Yang Jian and his son, and they would never take refuge in this kind of monarch who was good at killing donkeys and killing rabbits.
After asking around.
The two of them prepared to go to Yangzhou with a tacit understanding. On the one hand, King Huai had a very good reputation, he was tolerant, had clear rewards and punishments, and had great hope of success.
On the other hand, they are all northerners. If they had a choice, they would never choose the princes south of the Yangtze River.
"snort!"
After the two ridiculed each other for a while, they each gained a lot of anger, but this is King Huai's city. If they fight, the impact will be too great and it will not be conducive to their subsequent surrender.
So the two of them just exchanged words and had no intention of taking action.
After a while, the anger in the two people's hearts slowly subsided and they regained their composure.
Gulu!
He Ruobi picked up the wine bowl, took a sip, and then put it down with a bang, "Brother Shi, now that the world is in chaos and the princes are rising together, I think King Huai is quite a wise ruler, at least much better than the emperors in Jiangnan! "
"Although you and I have our own abilities, we can be reused by joining King Huai, but King Huai has many famous generals. It is best for you and me to support each other in the future, so that we can gain a firm foothold in the Huai army..."
If He Ruobi's mood returns to normal, he can suppress his strong jealousy and competitiveness, and not talk too much, he will still be very capable.
There is no lack of vision, strategy when leading troops, or personal bravery.
At this moment, he wanted to persuade Shi Wansui that if they defected to King Huai, they'd better join a group to keep warm. Well... it's best for Shi Wansui to listen to him.
"What you said is quite interesting!"
Shi Wansui glanced sideways at him, "However, as a true man, all achievements and honors should be taken immediately. If King Huai is really clear about rewards and punishments, and is tolerant to others, I can make achievements by fighting in the battle array. Do I still need to join forces?"
"Brother He Ruo, you have the talent of a general. I would like to advise you. If you want to be favored by King Huai, don't think so much in private! As a king, how can you tolerate your ministers colluding with cronies?"
"If it's just mutual support, I can agree, but if we want to join forces with each other... please forgive me for refusing!"
Shi Wansui said it very directly.
He Ruobi suddenly looked a little unhappy, but at least the other party agreed to support each other, and they could achieve their goal even if they had to do it. Without further ado, he poured the wine again, touched it with Shi Wansui, and agreed.
They did not stay in Wanling City for too long.
After bathing and changing clothes, eating and drinking, they ran towards Yangzhou together.
at this time.
In Yangzhou City, Wang Jing is feeling the mystery of the nine levels.
Stepping into the ninth level is not the end of cultivation. After stepping into the ninth level, Wang Jing felt that it was more like a new beginning.
The first eight levels are just to lay the foundation for the practice after the ninth level.
The ninth level is divided into three levels, from high to low, divided by heaven, earth and people.
Just in the human realm, Wang Jing feels that the strength and performance he can display can be called an immortal, or semi-immortal in the eyes of many people.
