Chapter 384: Helping You Achieve Success

A few days ago, the 200,000 troops of the Yongzhou South Battalion had all been mobilized and stationed five miles outside the city of Yongzhou. Half of the more than 100,000 troops deployed on the front line of southern Xinjiang were transferred, 50,000 rushed to Yongzhou to converge, 40,000 were stationed north of Nanyan, and the total strength of the border army was not less than 60,000. The threat of Nanyan to the Great Sui is almost negligible, and it would be good for this small country to protect itself.

Zhan Yao was ordered to stay, and the 100,000 troops of the left avant-garde were controlled by him. However, there are more soldiers stationed here than this number, and the number of county soldiers in the cities of Pingshang Road should not be less than 150,000. In terms of troops, Pingshang Road was the one with the largest number of troops in the Great Sui. The ratio of the number of people to the number of troops, reached a staggering number.

Nearly 300,000 troops, including nearly 400,000 auxiliaries and miscellaneous servants.

This is the first time in more than ten years that the left avant-garde has been mobilized on such a scale, and the people of the entire Yongzhou are boiling. Before the expedition, Luo Yao sent people to post a notice, announcing that the left avant-garde would go north to quell the rebellion for the country. Hearing that Luo Yao was leaving, the people had an urge to set off a cannon to celebrate.

Over the years, everyone has lived in the shadow of Luo Yao.

Hundreds of thousands of troops were camped outside the city for dozens of miles, and there was no edge in sight.

The army set out at an auspicious time, and before leaving, Luo Yao personally supervised the beheading of those people sent by the rebels and sacrificed the flag. Fang Xie subconsciously touched his neck when he stood aside and watched, recalling that what he was worried about before he came to Yongzhou was that he was beheaded by Luo Yao to sacrifice the flag. Now watching others being cut, I have a very strange feeling in my heart.

He looked at the slashed rebels with strange eyes, and two people looked at him with strange eyes. One is Luo Yao's son Luo Wen, and the other is Wen Xiaodao, one of the ten masters of Luomen. Luo Wen now looks at Fang Xie as if he was looking at his father's enemy, and Wen Xiaodao looks at Fang Xie as if he was looking at an opponent in the ring.

On this expedition, Luo Yao didn't even bring Luo Wen. You must know that this is a great opportunity for your son to accumulate military merits, and when the time comes, you only need to give Luo Wen some of the battles fought by the left guard, and it is impossible for the imperial court not to promote. After a battle, the position of General Sipin was easy.

Even if you don't bring Luo Wen, it is understandable to let him stay in Yongzhou. But the power is not in his hands, but in Zhan Yao, which has to make people have some ideas.

On the other hand, Luo Yao's preference for Fang Xie has already made people's hearts move. Fang Xie is just a young man who has just arrived in Yongzhou, even if he has the identity of a chaplain, Luo Yao's attention to him is obviously too much. First, he wrote to the imperial court to leave this person, and then sent a folding battalion to him, which is not enough, and even transferred more than 1,000 war horses yesterday to arm the Shanzi battalion into a pure cavalry.

Even if the war horses of the left forward are not scarce, this is already a very abnormal move.

I don't know when it began, speculation about the relationship between Fang Xie and Luo Yao began to circulate among the generals of the left avant-garde. Some people swore that the general had a second son more than ten years ago, but he lost it for some reason. As soon as this speculation popped up, it spread unstoppably among the people.

Fang Xie also heard something, and he could only sneer at this.

Except for Luo Yao's instructions, how could this news have spread?

He was not interested in paying attention to this, and was even happy to see it happen.

The soldiers of the Shanzi battalion stood behind Fang Xie on horseback, half of them with blue noses and swollen faces. However, everyone pulled their chests high, and their jaws were held high to show their pride. Pure cavalry troops, except for the light cavalry battalion and heavy cavalry battalion under the general, can't be found in the left front guard!

The road to Huangyang is a long way, thousands of miles, not to mention anything else, the cavalry is much more comfortable than the infantry. Before leaving for the battle, how could the soldiers not be happy. Even though he had been a little harsh yesterday, the soldiers had long been in awe of the young general after witnessing him kill half of his officers overnight.

"You all know what you're going to do!"

Luo Yao climbed the Yongzhou city wall and faced the army outside the city with a solemn face. These soldiers are all accumulated by him over the years, and they are the soldiers of the Great Sui and even his soldiers. In Yongzhou, the orders of the imperial court may not work. But his words are here is the holy decree!

"The Northwest is in rebellion, and the people are struggling to make a living! As a soldier of the Great Sui, your duty is to serve the country! As the saying goes, it takes a thousand days to raise a soldier, and now is the time for you to show your blade! Soldiers, from the day they put on their military uniforms, in fact, who doesn't want to think about when they will be able to show their talents?! The country is peaceful, and I wish too! The country is in trouble, and the soldiers take the lead! The state raises troops for the purpose of defending the territory and opening up the territory, and for the well-being of the people. Now, some people come to destroy this well-being, and some people covet the country that the soldiers and martyrs have beaten down, do you agree? ”

"No!"

The sound of the answer was deafening!

"I won't say more, just one request for you...... Since you are going to the battlefield, you can't lose the face of the left guard! I, Luo Yao, have never been defeated in my life, whether I win or lose this time, you can see it! ”

"The left avant-garde is invincible in the world!"

Zhan Yao let out a loud roar next to him, and the sound shattered the sky.

"The left avant-garde is invincible in the world!"

"The left avant-garde is invincible in the world!"

The shouts come and go, which makes people's hearts surge!

At this moment, Fang Xie was a little willing to believe that Luo Yao was really a general who was loyal to the Great Sui, and he was really an admirable soldier!

……

……

Fang Jie's Shanzi battalion was transferred out by Luo Yao, and it did not belong to any army. So when they marched, they followed behind Luo Yao's direct team. The army under Luo Yao's direct command included a heavy cavalry battalion of 3,000 people, a light cavalry battalion of 12,000 people, and the infantry of the two armies, with a total of about 36,000 soldiers. Once the mountain character camp was one of the sequences of these 36,000 people, but now it has become the person of Fang Jie. From the command of the team, Fang Xie directly obeyed Luo Yao's dispatch.

The soldiers and auxiliaries are all counted as nearly 400,000 troops, and it is not possible to go out hundreds of miles with one mouth. From the time Luo Yao announced the dispatch of troops to the time when he camped in the evening, some of the teams behind had not yet left Yongzhou. With such a huge number of troops going out to fight, it stands to reason that they should divide their troops and march in unison. But Luo Yao obviously didn't have this mind, and the dragon-like team dragged out far, far away.

After camping, Zhuo Buyi, who was dressed in a flying fish robe, entered Fang Jie's military tent. Buyi no longer wears Buyi, and he is obviously a little uncomfortable. But if he appeared in the barracks wearing a cloth coat, it would undoubtedly make people suspicious. Fang Jie's flying fish robe and forbidden army were still following, including the ten people who gave the camp and pretended to be people from the Ouchi Guards.

"Luo Yao marched like this......"

Zhuo Buyi sat down and lowered his voice and said, "Even if I am a layman in the army, I can see that his goal is not to quell the rebellion. 400,000 horses did not go their separate ways, but pulled away like such a long dragon, and the people and horses in front walked out for a hundred miles, and the follow-up team left Yongzhou! This seems to be in a hurry to serve the country, and it is clearly to put on a posture to show others. ”

"He went north without waiting for the imperial court's will, which in itself makes people suspicious."

Fang Xie said in a low voice: "The will of the imperial court is to transfer 100,000 elite soldiers of the left vanguard to the north, and after converging the imperial army, they will go to the northwest. Luo Yao knew that once these 100,000 people were separated, it would be difficult to transfer them back. After the war, even if these 100,000 people were not filled in the three northwest provinces by His Majesty as the vanguard, they would eventually be divided into other teams and dispersed. If nothing else, if Luo Yao agrees to transfer 100,000 troops, this will definitely not be the only time, the emperor will transfer troops for the second and third time......"

"You mean, Luo Yao is simply avoiding the emperor's will? Mobilizing a large army to go on an expedition is ...... Shopping? ”

"That's not bad to say."

Fang Xie nodded: "Luo Yao's mind may be vacillating now, and even he doesn't know what to do. He didn't want to go north to waste his troops, but he couldn't directly oppose the imperial court. Maybe he doesn't want to rebel, he just wants to keep his strength. Maybe he wanted to do the opposite, but the time didn't come. Either way, he would not allow his troops to be transferred by the imperial court. Therefore, before the holy decree arrived, he had to leave Yongzhou with his troops. ”

Fang Xie said in a very low voice: "I have seen that the food supplies carried by the baggage battalions of each army, according to such a marching speed, are barely enough for the army to reach Huangyang Road. ”

"What do you mean?"

Zhuo Buyi was puzzled.

"I mean, Luo Yao led the troops without food, or he planned to rely on local supplies and was reluctant to touch his own things. Either...... There is another purpose. ”

He turned and unfolded the map and pointed to a place.

"There is a Xinkoucang in Huangyang Road...... It is the top ten in terms of storage capacity among the many granaries of Dasui. The grain stock of the Great Sui is enough for a hundred years, and if it only feeds an army, the Xinkou warehouse will be enough for the left avant-garde to eat for a hundred years. ”

Zhuo Buyi still didn't understand: "Could it be that the local government dares to open a granary privately?" ”

"I hope not."

Fang Xie shook his head: "I've been too sensitive lately, and I feel like there's a conspiracy when I look at everything." Luo Yao led his troops north, which was still a good thing for the imperial court after all. Even if he is trying to keep his strength, it really puts a lot of pressure on the rebels. I'm afraid that if I hear that the left avant-garde is going north, Li Yuanshan will not be able to sleep. ”

"Let's wait and see what happens."

Zhuo Buyi sighed and got up to say goodbye.

Fang Xie watched him leave, his brows furrowed again. Shen Tianfan and Mu Xiaoxiao sat down beside him, looking at him, his tightly knit brows couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" ”

"What I'm worried about now is not what will happen to Luo Yao's left midfielder, but ......"

He paused for a moment and said, "Why didn't Shi Yuan come to me?" ”

……

……

Outside the city of Yongzhou

Green bamboo forest

Luo Wen smashed one punch after another on the thick green bamboo, and after a while, a large piece of green bamboo fell. His eyes were full of anger, and his clothes were soaked with sweat!

He kept throwing punches!

The physique that has been changed makes his internal strength more and more abundant. Every punch he threw was sharper than ever, and I have to say that the Buddha's methods really amazed him. He felt like his body was a body of steel, and no one could break it.

"To vent your anger in front of a bamboo forest is a sign of incompetence."

I don't know when, the old monk in a white robe appeared behind him.

"What else can I do!"

Rowan turned around and snarled at him.

"You can do a lot, it's better than wasting your internal energy like this."

Shi Yuan walked over slowly, looked at Luo Wen and said word by word: "I'll come, the first is to see how you face your father's coldness." The second is to tell you something. ”

"What's the matter!"

"Bochi is dead."

Luo Wen's face changed suddenly, and his pupils instantly contracted: "You...... What did you say? ”

"Bo Chi is dead, Fang Xie killed. Moreover, Fang Xie has already learned the secret about you from Bo Chi's mouth. ”

"I ...... What secrets do I have......"

"Yes"

Shi Yuan smiled and said, "For example, why is Luo Yao so ruthless to you? Because...... You're not his son at all...... Luo Wen, you should know that Luo Yao doesn't kill you now, one is because he still has feelings for your mother, and the other is that there is no evidence. But if he finds his true son, will he show mercy to your men? ”

"You...... You mean...... Solution? ”

"That's right."

Shi Yuan faintly: "You don't want to lose all this that should belong to you, right?" How about I pass on your Buddhist exercises and let you achieve great success in the shortest possible time? ”
