Chapter 632: Bringing Glory Back to Home

For a long time after this day, some people couldn't figure out why Fang Jie's path to the south was so different. From the very beginning, he did not seem to intend to make any friendly gestures towards those local wealthy families, but declared that he would not bow to anyone with a domineering attitude that bordered on barbarism.

In Liang City, Beihui Dao, he killed a nine-rank powerhouse just a small warning. In the Great Lonely City of Nanhui Dao, he slaughtered a family to tell others not to test anything again, if they continue to try, the result will only make them feel more and more painful and afraid. The people of the Great Lonely City have forgotten when the last killing took place. But they will remember when this killing ended.

When Zhuo Buyi left, he asked Fang Xie why his anger was getting heavier and heavier, and Fang Xie replied that I wanted to use human blood to nourish his murderous qi. Maybe this is Fang Xie giving himself a clear direction, because the next road he has to take is step by step.

No one dares to mention the matter of 10,000 county soldiers, and no one will touch their heads again at this time. They've seen what it means to be unreasonable, and they can't help but want to vomit because of the smell of blood in the city. The cavalry of the Black Flag Army passed by one by one on the streets of the Great Lonely City, and the people watched and whispered from afar. The bodies carried out of the Liu family's Gaomen compound were loaded into a carriage and transported outside the city for burial.

On this day, the people of the Great Lonely City remembered the name Fang Jie.

Because more than 20 of his soldiers were killed and slaughtered a wealthy family in a fit of rage, such a story was destined to be spread for a long time to come. Of course, such a bloody method may not be recognized by everyone, but the soldiers under Fang Xie remember one thing deeply, their great general will always be on their side.

After everyone dispersed, the yamen of the governor of Nanhui Province seemed deserted. The guards all looked listless, and the pride that had been distinct on them was shattered by Fang Jie's butcher's knife. They didn't even want to and didn't dare to look at those cavalrymen in black armor anymore, not only because these guys killed people without blinking, but the most important thing was that the soldiers of the Black Flag Army were even prouder than them, real pride.

There was the fragrance of tea in the living room, Du Jianzhou sipped the tea one by one but couldn't find a topic, he glanced at Fang Xie from time to time, but found that the other party was still very calm, as if he had never given an order to kill. Du Jianzhou can imagine that with today's incident, whether it is the 10,000 county soldiers who came from Beihui Road or the 10,000 county soldiers who are about to follow Fang from Nanhui Dao, no one dares to fly anymore since then.

"Today's events...... Speaking of which, the cause is my negligence in monitoring. Now that the man has killed your brother to pay for his life, this matter will not be revealed. ”

Du Jianzhou was silent for a while before he spoke: "There is something I vaguely heard some rumors, General Fang should know very well in the northwest at that time...... It is rumored that His Majesty killed hundreds of courtiers in one go in the Northwest Palace, this is ...... It's true? ”

He didn't want to talk about today, so he had to say something else.

"Yes"

Fang Xie nodded and didn't say a word.

Although Du Jianzhou knew that this was true, he was still a little nervous when he got the affirmation from Fang Jie's mouth. For the Emperor of Heaven who sat on the dragon chair, Du Jianzhou was actually respectful and afraid. Although there were not many opportunities for them to meet with the emperor, and the authority of the fiefdom was monstrous, he never suspected that he might be dismissed or even beheaded by the emperor for some trivial matter.

Looking at Fang Xie with a calm face, Du Jianzhou suddenly understood why the emperor attached so much importance to this young man, and Fang Jie's style of acting today seemed to be very similar to that of His Majesty the Emperor. When it should be mild, it is gentle and makes people feel like a spring breeze, and when it should be cold, it makes people feel like falling into an ice cave.

Du Jianzhou couldn't imagine what kind of experience made this young general what he is now, or if he was cold-blooded from the bottom of his bones.

After Fang Jie's simple answer, there was silence between the two of them again.

"When does General Fang plan to leave?"

Du Jianzhou subconsciously found another topic, and only after asking it did he realize that something was wrong.

"Soon"

Fang Xie withdrew his gaze from the bloodstained men in the courtyard, and after a moment of silence, he replied, "Your Excellency...... I have a question that I can't figure out. If...... If the Black Flag Army hadn't gone south, and the Southern Yan and Su people had continued to fight north, how would the Governor have responded? ”

This question is too sharp, and it makes Du Jianzhou feel uncomfortable.

"Naturally, it is to fight to the end."

When Du Jianzhou replied to this sentence, he quietly asked himself in his heart, and then he found that his answer was still the same, so he was a little surprised, surprised that he had never understood himself.

"There is a sentence from the general, I heard it just now, and I feel the same way......"

He paused and said, "No matter what, we are all Han Chinese. No matter how bad the trouble in our house is, we don't allow outsiders to bully us, and when we come, we will beat it out of the door. ”

"No"

Fang Xie shook his head: "Just by hitting the door, the enemy will not give up and will soon forget about it." ”

Fang Xie turned his gaze to Du Jianzhou, smiled and said: "You have to fight back, hit the enemy's house, and fight until the enemy has no home, so that you can scare the next enemy." ”

"Call back?"

Du Jianzhou was slightly stunned, and subconsciously repeated Fang Jie's words.

"Hit back"

Fang Xie nodded: "The more ruthless, the better."

These words made Du Jianzhou's heart churn, and he didn't dare to make eye contact with Fang Xie for a while. I don't know why, but his fear of this young general is getting stronger and stronger.

……

……

Before the money, grain, and baggage prepared by Nanhui Province were not collected, Fang Xie deliberately gathered the 10,000 county soldiers of North Hui Province and the 10,000 county soldiers of South Hui Province, and lined up in the county soldier camp in Dagucheng. Although these soldiers were not from the same place, they found that they all had the same expressions when they looked at each other on the platform.

awe

These county soldiers did not stop their drills on weekdays, so the queue was quite neat. Originally, according to the rules of the Great Sui, when there was no war, the county soldiers did not have to practice every day, or even every month. During the busy farming season, these soldiers worked in the fields, and only when there was an enemy situation would they gather them to defend against the enemy.

However, since the Great Sui Rebellion, Luo Yao took away a million troops in the southwest, and almost all the county soldiers in each province no longer follow the previous practice, funded by the big families, and the county soldiers must ensure that they are always in a state of assembly, and continue to practice every day. In order to increase the combat effectiveness of the county soldiers, these people from the family threw a lot of silver into it. At least in terms of equipment, these 20,000 people are not much worse than the soldiers of the Great Sui.

In the past, these big families would not pay money to maintain the county soldiers, but now they are willing to pay money, and they are not stingy at all.

But even so, the combat strength of these county soldiers is still worrying. They were recruited after Luo Yao led the troops away, although not all of them were like this, but they accounted for more than seventy percent. According to the rules set by the Great Sui Imperial Court, the number of soldiers in each county was not allowed to exceed 1,500, and the total strength of soldiers in each province was not allowed to exceed 15,000. After Luo Yao left, the southwest garrison force was almost emptied, and all provinces were constantly expanding the ranks of the county soldiers.

But the time to concentrate is still short, and training is still needed.

Fang Xie slowly walked up to the platform, glanced at the soldiers below who were standing in a regular manner and didn't even dare to speak, he paused slightly for a while and then said loudly: "I know why you are standing so straight now, why you understand the rules so well, you know it yourself...... Because blood has just been poured in this city. I also know that many of you hate me, because I killed more than 500 of your comrades today, and one of your lieutenants. In any case, I will not make you feel ...... kind."

"I have not summoned you here to find out who else is involved in this matter, and this matter is over, and I will not mention it again today and will not mention it again. If you don't understand why I will go on a killing spree at the cost of offending the local tycoons, ask my soldiers of the Black Flag Army, and they will tell you why. ”

"I said in the governor's yamen that my soldiers are not to touch anyone but myself, and whoever touches me, I will return it doubly. You are not the veterans I brought out of the Suzaku Mountain camp, nor are you the veterans I brought back from the northwest, and even most of you still don't know what a soldier is and what a soldier should look like. ”

"I say this not to scare you or relax, but to make you understand one thing. Since you have followed me from this day on, you will also be my soldiers from now on. If someone throws a knife against you in another place, then I will seek justice for you. Maybe some of you will still hate me after the battle in southern Xinjiang, but I hope that you will remember my words today as much as you hate me. ”

"With me, you can rest assured and boldly hand over your back to me. Tell me that I will not allow anyone to desecrate your dignity. Remember, if someone asks you whose team you are, you will give me a loud answer, you are Fang Jie's soldiers! ”

After saying this, Fang Xie pointed to the mountain of materials piled up in the distance of the school field.

"These things are all yours, and they are the materials, grains and grass raised for you by the villagers and elders of Nanhui Road. Do you know why they are willing to give you a mouthful of their rations? ”

Fang Xie looked around: "Because the people know what you are going to do, you are going to kill the enemy!" Maybe you will say that it is not Nanhui Dao that the enemy is burning and looting now, and you are still safe before you have even reached Yongbei Dao. But have you ever thought that if the men of Yongbei Province think the same way, then the enemy may kill you in an instant! If you think so, it won't be long before your family is all slaves or corpses! ”

His voice suddenly increased: "Since you are already my soldiers, I will do my best to keep you alive and victorious on the battlefield." Then take your pride back to your hometown, and wave your fists vigorously to tell your family and folks, those sons of bitches have been killed by you! Remember, this man who is standing before you now...... I! Never failed on the battlefield! ”

"Does anyone dare to shout after me?"

Fang Xie said loudly: "Bring the glory back to your hometown!" ”

The scene was still quiet, so quiet that even the sound of the soldiers' breathing was clear. Their faces slowly turned a little red, and their breathing became more and more rapid.

There was a hot thing in their hearts that kept surging upward, burning their throats, as if only shouting out would alleviate the burning sensation.

"No one?"

Fang asked.

"Will ......"

A small soldier standing in the front position, who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, looked a little wide of his clothes, and the horizontal knife more than a meter long hung down on his waist. His neck was flushed, and his eyes bulged out after he shouted the words.

"grandma...... I'm afraid of a fart! ”

He muttered to himself, then pulled his neck and shouted, "Bring glory back home!" ”

"Bring glory back home!"

"Bring glory back home!"

"Bring glory back home!"
