Chapter 341: This thing can't be done

The Qincha team walked in the middle, and the front and rear were the elite soldiers of the left avant-garde. Fang Xie lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside, and the more he looked, the more unsettled he became. The Great Sui lacked war horses, and there were only a few cavalry teams among the soldiers of the various guards. But the 4,000 men and horses that Luo Yao brought to Anlai County were a pure cavalry team, and there were even 500 heavily armored cavalry.

The combat power of the heavy cavalry is staggering, and the cost is equally amazing, and the requirements for knights and war horses are very high. What the war horse needs is a good breed that can still run with a weight of two hundred and thirty or forty pounds, because the heavy cavalry are all burly and sturdy, and the weight is not less than one hundred and fifty pounds, plus the heavy chain armor, plus the horse lance and horizontal knife in the hands of the heavy cavalry, plus the full armor of the war horse, the total will not be less than two hundred and thirty or forty pounds.

Fang Xie was born in the border army, and he knew that the truly elite soldiers were not soldiers but border soldiers. Although the soldiers are claimed to be the most effective army in the Great Sui, most of them have not experienced war for more than twenty years. The soldiers after the destruction of the Shang Dynasty have already changed, even if they train weekdays, but they have not experienced the experience of blood, they still have some cold killing intent.

The border army is different, the border army not only has to defend the generals, but also is responsible for cleaning up the border, horse thieves and bandits, and there are battles of all sizes almost every year. No matter how sharp the horizontal knife is, it has never been stained with blood, and it is not a killing weapon after all.

It is precisely because Fang Xie is from a border army that he knows how to distinguish whether an army has combat effectiveness. The cavalry under Luo Yao's command could be seen at a glance that it had been in battle for a long time, and the team still maintained a high degree of vigilance when it was moving forward, and the formation was not scattered in the slightest.

If you look closely, you can see that each team can tell the difference, and even if there is a sudden attack, they can react quickly.

And the most eye-catching thing for Fang Xie is naturally the heavy armored cavalry of 500 people, Fang Xie has been in Fan Gu for three years, but he has heard that there is a heavy armor under the command of Li Yuanshan, but he has never seen it. There was also a heavy armor in the Imperial City, and Fang Xie had seen but was sure that those soldiers who looked majestic and mighty had definitely not killed anyone. The heavy armor in the Taiji Palace is more of a thing on the scene, and if it is really pulled to the frontier battlefield, it may not be able to exert its indestructible power.

Therefore, this is the first time that Fang Xie has seen the heavy armored cavalry that can go into battle to kill the enemy in the true sense, not only has an extremely shocking impact visually, but also the domineering spirit of those soldiers and the pride on their faces are what interests Fang Xie the most.

The heavy cavalry is like an armored vehicle with full horsepower on the battlefield, and once it is in an attack formation and the speed is raised, almost no team can defend it.

The left guard under Luo Yao's command is not only the largest number of the sixteen guards, but also in the forefront in terms of combat power. The six armies of the Son of Heaven are known as the strongest among the soldiers, but if it is really a duel to the death, the six armies of the Son of Heaven will not necessarily be able to take advantage.

No wonder the emperor had such scruples about Luo Yao!

Fang Xie sighed in his heart, with such a great general and such an army, it would not be practical for anyone to be the emperor.

But now the imperial court has no way to deal with Luo Yao at all, and the military department has not thought about transferring Luo Yao out of the southwest before, but it is obviously unreasonable to mobilize a guard soldier without war. After the imperial court discovered that Luo Yao's left avant-garde strength had reached an astonishing level, it would be even more difficult to mobilize it. No one dared to guarantee that the order would not anger Luo Yao, thus forcing the general to embark on the path of confrontation with the imperial court.

And once Luo Yao rebelled, the harm would be much greater than Li Yuanshan's self-reliance in the northwest.

The army marched all the way, and Fang Jie's mind kept thinking about what kind of trouble he would encounter on this trip to Yongzhou. Judging from the attitude shown by Luo Yao at present, Fang Xie did not have the slightest doubt that this great general who was saying loyalty in his mouth might raise the anti-flag at any time.

What Fang Xie is looking forward to most now is that during his time in Yongzhou, Luo Yao must be honest.

If Luo Yao is reversed, he only has three ways to go.

First, surrender to Luo Yao and follow him to rebel, but he can live. But although Fang Xie was shocked by the strength in Luo Yao's hands, he didn't think that he could succeed, after all, the strength in the emperor's hands was still much greater than Luo Yao's. Fighting the whole country in a corner has little chance of winning. Second, flee back to Chang'an immediately, if possible. Third, nine times out of ten, he was caught and executed by Luo Yao's people on the way.

However, to make Fang Xie feel at ease, there is no inducement for Luo Yao to immediately rebel. Luo Yao pretended not to know about the fiasco in the northwest, which showed that this incident was not enough for him to feel that the opportunity had come. Otherwise, he wouldn't pretend not to know, but would use it.

He had been thinking about this, and Shen Tianfan and Mu Xiaoyin in the other carriage had been wondering whether Luo Yao was the person he was back then.

Mu Xiaowaist rubbed his temples, carefully recalling what happened when that person walked into the mountain gate seventeen years ago.

"If one of us knew who that person was...... Who is most likely? ”

Shen asked the fan.

Mu Xiaoyin pointed to his nose: "Me and the big dog." ”

Shen Tianfan snorted and said, "But you're sure you don't know the identity of that person, so ...... Big Dog is now the most likely person to know his identity. ”

"Big Dog ......"

Mu Xiaoyin was silent for a while, and suddenly remembered something: "The big dog has been sloppy and sloppy all these years, but he has always maintained a special habit...... Even if he can't stand the hunger, he doesn't want to cook by himself, and even if the clothes on his body are dirty and can't see the original color, he doesn't want to do the laundry himself. Every time I talk about it, he will mumble something like a gentleman, where does he look like a gentleman? ”

"Gentleman ......"

Shen Tianfan muttered and repeated, thought for a while and said: "This is a common problem of those people from big families, who always feel that cooking and washing clothes is an unbearable and vulgar thing. If the big dog is from a famous family, it is not a big deal to have such a habit. ”

"And ......"

Mu Xiaoxiao raised his head and looked at Shen Tianfan and said, "The big dog said that his name was given by that person, and it means that he and that person have been familiar with him before we know the big dog." Fang Xie asked the big dog if he had any relatives who were threatened by that person, and the big dog said that he also had a younger brother...... The big dog also said that his brother's cultivation was far above him, in that case, why didn't that person let his brother protect Fang Xie in the first place, but let the big dog come? ”

"What kind of agreement did the big dog have with that person in order to keep his brother alive!"

Shen Tianfan's eyes lit up.

"No......"

Her face changed slightly: "In the past, the big dog was by Fang Jie's side and did his best to do things, so Fang Xie trusted him very much. But if there is really any agreement between the big dog and that person, and that person is really Luo Yao, then after arriving here, the big dog may not be the big dog before! Fang Xie asked the big dog and the unicorn to take people to respond in secret, this is a loophole, and Fang Xie must be reminded. ”

"No......"

Mu Xiaowaist said: "The big dog will definitely not do anything sorry for Fang Jie, if he does it, Fang Xie will not burn everything with me on his fifteenth birthday." ”

"That's in Fangu, this is Yongzhou."

The heavy fan stopped the carriage, and she opened the curtain and jumped down: "Even if there is only a little doubt, you must be careful." ”

……

……

Anlai County

In an inconspicuous small restaurant, the big dog and the chasing merchant sat facing each other, and the table in front of them was already full of dishes, which was very hearty. Chasan got up and poured a full glass of wine for the big dog, then raised his wine glass and said solemnly: "Big brother, I owe you too much in the past ten years, and I am afraid that I will not have a chance to return it to you in this life." I salute you for this glass of wine...... We haven't seen each other for almost seventeen years, you...... You've got gray hair. ”

The big dog smiled and drank the wine from the cup.

"There's something I have to tell you, and then we'll talk about it."

The big dog put down the wine glass and looked outside: "Why aren't you worried about being recognized?" ”

"Everyone who knows me has been killed by Luo Yao, what are you afraid of?"

The chasing merchant replied with a smile.

"Hmm...... What I'm going to say is related to the fact that your people were killed by Luo Yao a while ago. ”

Seeing that the big dog's face was solemn, Chaser also sat up straight.

"You don't have to worry about the idea of solving the problem, that is, the imperial court sent the Qincha from Yongzhou this time. To tell you the truth, although I have been worried about you in my heart, I did not intend to meet you, I am afraid that you and I will cause trouble for you because of your meeting. But you're doing something to Chincha, and I have to come to you. ”

The big dog paused for a moment and continued: "This Qincha is the person I have been protecting for so many years. ”

"Why is the eldest brother so good to him?"

Chaishang was a little surprised, and nodded after being silent for a long time: "Since you said it, eldest brother, I naturally won't go to him for trouble again." At that time, it was just an idea, and I thought that this person could take advantage of it. But...... Big brother, you have been wandering for more than ten years because of him, don't you hate him? ”

"I hated it at first, but that's how strange people are...... If you have been together for too long, there will be no hate. ”

Caught up and said, "I was still surprised, why did you come back suddenly." ”

The big dog smiled, looked at the face of the chasing merchant and sighed: "Seventeen years of separation, you were still a teenager and a half-grown child when you separated, and you didn't even dare to walk at night by yourself." More than ten years later, he is already a shrewd and capable man. ”

"You haven't been with me for more than ten years, and I have to learn to do everything myself."

Catch up with the big dog and pour the wine again: "Big brother, why don't you ...... We won't be separated in the future, will you come back and help me? I have been preaching in Pingshang for more than ten years, and now there are hundreds of thousands of believers, so it is not difficult for me to do it again if I want to. Even if you don't do anything, relying on the wealth accumulated over the past ten years, our brothers can live in peace and stability, and you don't have to take risks to wander around. ”

"I was about to talk about it."

The big dog looked at the wine in the cup, was silent for a while, and asked, "You still can't put it down?" ”

Chasing Shang was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Big brother let go?" ”

The big dog nodded: "After so many years, I have long let it go." ”

"I can't put it down, and I've never thought about it."

The big dog frowned: "It's been more than 20 years, even if you have been secretly preaching all these years, do you think you can do it with those foolish people, those women and children?" Luo Yao has been operating in the southwest for 20 years and has deep roots. The emperor of the Great Sui was not a mediocre person, and the people would not want to oppose him. If you have hundreds of thousands of troops in your hands, I won't stop you, but it's not an army, it's just a bunch of unarmed farmers! Do you really think they can help you achieve your dreams? ”

Chasing Shang drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp: "Big brother, you put it down, in fact, I want to say that I am happy for you." This big burden is too heavy, and the person who is pressed can't breathe. But if you let go, I can't let go. If we all let it go, then the root will really be broken. As long as I live, I won't let go...... I can listen to you in everything, big brother, but this matter ...... No way! ”
