Chapter 639: Never Give Up If You Don't Die

Since Fang Xie beat the late Yongzhou generals one by one that night, he has not convened people to discuss the matter. Of course, there were also people who went to Luo Qiu, the governor of Pingshangdao, in private, but Luo Qiu did not discuss the beating of the Yongzhou generals in private, but made a clear statement in front of all the officials of Pingshangdao, and he was right!

Moreover, all officials of Pingshangdao, whether civil officials or military generals, were unconditionally subject to Fang Jie's dispatch, and if anyone neglected their duties or deliberately slacked off and shirked, he would not be punished by Fang Jie, and he would be the first to refuse.

This made all the officials of Pingshang Road a little surprised, they thought that Luo Qiu's enthusiasm for Fang Xie was just a superficial thing, Fang Xie was just a life-saving straw in Yongzhou now, and who would take a straw seriously after the flood receded? But now it seems that Luo Qiu is not using Fang Xie as a straw at all, but as a god to offer.

And the performance of Fang Xie next also made the generals of the Yongzhou soldiers even more unconvinced.

The day after beating the generals of Yongzhou, Fang Xie went out of the city under the pretext of taking the cavalry to familiarize himself with the terrain of Yongzhou, but instead of going to the south of the city to familiarize himself, he ran to the north of the city where there was no enemy.

On the third day, when the generals of the Yongzhou soldiers endured the pain and went to the big tent to order the mao, they were told that the general took the cavalry out of the city again to familiarize themselves with the terrain, and they still went to the north of the city. In the afternoon of the same day, news spread that Fang Xie was not familiar with the terrain at all, and after he took the cavalry out of the city, he asked the cavalry to find a place to rest, and he took people to the river to fish, and sat for a day.

On the fourth day, it was still the same.

On the fifth day, even Luo Qiu couldn't sit still. A few days ago, the people who had gone out of the city to see Tuhun Duo had already decided on the date and place of the meeting, and the time was set ten days after that day according to Fang Explanation. And the location, not surprisingly, Tuhun Duobei really chose to be in the camp of the Su people.

The date has been set, and the location is naturally inappropriate, but Luo Qiu can't find a solution to discuss. Fang Xie seemed to deliberately avoid everyone, and ran out of the city to fish every day. Even though Luo Qiu firmly believed that Fang Xie was definitely not really going to play, he couldn't understand what Fang Xie was planning.

In desperation, he had to go to find Fang Xie at night.

When he arrived outside the door, the Xiao Riding School guarding outside politely invited him in, but it was not Fang Xie who received him, but Zhang Xi, a civil official under Fang Jie. This person used to be a county magistrate at the foot of Suzaku Mountain, and because of his excellent official reputation, he was recruited by Fang Jie. This person is already in his fifties, if Da Sui is too safe and stable, it is not surprising that he will eventually continue to do it in the county order until the old one has to retire, but he will not go further.

This person is a straightforward person, he will not be sloppy, that is, he is an official in Hwangyang Province, and if he was in Gyeonggi Province, he would have been played to death long ago.

"Where's the general?"

Luo Qiu couldn't help but ask after waiting for a while.

"The general said......"

Zhang Xi was a little difficult to speak, and seeing that Luo Qiu's eyes had been staring at him, he was even more entangled, he sighed after being silent for a while, and simply said straightforwardly: "The general is not in the mansion. ”

"Huh?"

Luo Qiu was stunned: "Where is it?" I will go after him. ”

"The ...... I Can't Find"

Zhang Xi said: "The general is not in Yongzhou City at all!" ”

"How is that possible!"

Luo Qiu said: "Don't lie to me, in the past few days, many people in the city have watched the general lead his troops out every day, and some people have seen him fishing by the river north of the city, but you told me that he is not in Yongzhou...... Could it be that there is someone under my rule or something that makes the general uncomfortable? Even so, he didn't need to hide from me! Just discuss anything with me directly. ”

"It's not!"

Zhang Xi hurriedly waved his hand: "My lord misunderstood, the general is indeed not in the city...... In fact, three days ago, the general had already left Yongzhou. In the past few days, it was General Xiahou Baichuan who led the troops out every day, wearing the general's clothes and escorting the general's personal soldiers, so people thought that the general went out of the city every day......"

"On the first day, the general went out of the city with 20,000 cavalry, but when he came back, there were only 17,000 men. On the second day another 20,000 horsemen went out of the city, and when they returned, 17,000 men and horses. On the third day, General Xiahou pretended to be a general and led his troops out of the city, led 20,000 troops out, and came back with 17,000. On the fourth day he went out with 17,000 men and returned 17,000. And so it was on the fifth day......"

"That is to say, on the third day, the general had already left Yongzhou with nine thousand light horses."

Luo Qiu's face changed: "Where did he go?" ”

"I don't know."

Zhang Xi was afraid that Luo Qiu would not believe it: "I really don't know about my humble position, don't say that I don't know about my humble position, even if I am a general in the army, no one knows." The general just arranged it this way, in order to hide it from others and prevent others from seeing that he had led his troops away. With such a lot of effort, how could the general easily tell the people below where he went? ”

Luo Qiu thought about it and knew that what Zhang Xi said was right. Fang Jie's trick was too beautiful, the cavalry went out 20,000 and came back 17,000, if the team pulled some open, it would not be visible at all. After a few days in a row, he secretly took out a cavalry of nearly 10,000 people. And in order to ensure that others didn't know Fang Jieyi left, he also asked people to pretend that he led the troops out every day.

"Where's your wife?"

Luo Qiu suddenly thought of the women beside Fang Jie, and it was expected that they must know.

"Who?"

Zhang Xi asked subconsciously, and then shook his head: "You can't see any of them, because several ladies have gone out of the city with the general...... Before leaving, the general told me that on the fifth day you would come to the palace at night, and let me wait, and answer truthfully whatever your questions asked. I didn't leave the porter this evening according to the general's orders, and sure enough, you really came. ”

Luo Qiu was shocked in his heart, and he was shocked that he had been calculated by Fang one day.

"What else did he command?"

Luo Qiu asked.

"The general ordered the humiliation and said that you should go back with peace of mind. The general will inevitably return before the date of meeting with the barbarian king, and he will bring back a surprise for the people in Yongzhou City. The general said that the morale in the city was low now, and that it could not continue like this, and that something needed to be done to boost morale. ”

Luo Qiu sighed, stood up and waved his hand, "Forget it...... Since he didn't want people to know, I didn't need to ask. ”

……

……

Where to go

……

……

The procession walked through the night, silently, the birds in the trees were not awakened, and the clouds in the sky were still floating leisurely. This is a cavalry team of nearly 10,000 people, like a giant python swimming forward against the ground. The horse's hooves are covered with a thick layer of skin, and its mouth is covered with a chew, and it cannot make a sound.

But such a team marching silently exuded a strong murderous aura.

About five miles in front of this cavalry were elite scouts of thirty men. Their characters are to clear the enemy scouts in front of the brigade, and cannot expose the movements of the brigade. These teams of scouts were clearly well-trained, and it was extremely easy to kill the same scout enemies in the dark.

They crossed each other, combing back and forth, making sure they didn't miss the enemy.

After the sparkling light of fire appeared in front of them, the scout team stopped, and then divided into men to report to the group.

The leader of the scouts dismounted, hid himself behind a high slope, and looked at the lights ahead. It was a camp that stretched for miles, and there must have been no less than 30,000 people in the camp to see the lights. And in the middle of this spark, there is a square black.

"This is Nanyan's follow-up reinforcements, we bypassed Murong Yongduo's team and interspersed, Nanyan people would never have imagined that we would be here...... According to the information that came from the previous inquiry, although this Southern Yan army had a lot of numbers, there were not many veterans, because the Southern Yan army advanced too fast, and Murong Yan hastily organized follow-up reinforcements. It was precisely because Murong Yongduo rushed forward too fast that he left a lot of cities behind him and did not fight, and these Nanyan reinforcements were responsible for cleaning up these cities. ”

He whispered a few words, pointed to the camp and said, "Touch the two teams and see if there are any secret posts." If there is any clearing, the general's men and horses will be able to come up in half an hour at most. If I delay my camp tonight, my head won't weigh enough, let alone yours! ”

His scouts answered, and the two teams were quietly approaching the camp with people.

About half an hour later, the leader of the scouts heard the noise and looked back, and found that the cavalry brigade had followed, and he immediately got up to meet him.

"General, it's all cleaned up. Nanyan's reinforcements would never have imagined that we would come here directly. ”

This person is Chen Xiaoru.

"Hmm"

Fang Xie pulled the black scarf up from his neck to block his nose, pulled out the Chaolu knife from behind his back, and then patted the white lion's head: "The grassland people say that wherever there is a war, you will appear there, and you may have to change it after following me...... Wherever you go, there will be war. ”

He stretched out his sword forward: "Camp!" ”

As the trumpets sounded, the cavalry following the white lion began to increase their speed, and the distance was less than a mile and a half, which was not much different from no distance in terms of the speed of the light cavalry. If Fang Xie hadn't deliberately controlled the speed, the white lion would have thrown off the large group of men and horses and broken into the camp of the Southern Yan army.

Fang Xie urged the white lion to jump over the fence, and at the same time as the white lion jumped in, a red flame rose on the fence, and soon burned the wooden wall of the Southern Yan army into an empty space, and the light cavalry of the Black Flag Army wearing black leather armor swept in like a stroke from the burning gap, and then sent out the feather arrow that had been lit in his hand, and soon the flames began to spread in the camp.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

It wasn't until the Black Flag Army broke in that the Southern Yan Army reacted. It's not that they're so weak, it's that there's no enemy in the area. The soldiers rushed out of the tent in a panic, and they didn't even have time to put on their leather armor. A soldier had just emerged from the tent, and a black shadow flickered in front of him, followed by blood spurting out of his neck, and he fell limply without even seeing the light of the sword.

After the cavalry of the Black Flag Army broke into the camp, they rushed straight forward, and in the panicked shouts of those Nanyan soldiers, the cavalry marched in unison like a regiment and rake, and cut down the fleeing Nanyan soldiers. The cavalry drove the defeated soldiers of the Southern Yan soldiers and charged towards the camp behind.

In less than an hour, the elite cavalry of the Black Flag Army actually killed the camp of the Southern Yan army.

Fang Xie urged the white lion to rush to the middle of the camp, which was the place where the darkness was seen from a distance.

Here, it's a border city. I can't even light the torches, so you can imagine how miserable the city has become!

"Are there any living frontier troops in the city? I am Fang Jie, the general of the imperial court reinforcements, and I led the army to rescue you! ”

He threw his head back and shouted.

"Yes!"

Immediately a crowd of people stood up on the city wall: "We are still here!" As long as they don't die, the border army will never give up the border city! ”

The voice is hoarse, but with a loud voice!

Hearing this, Fang Jie's heart fluttered!
