Fang Chengtian was stunned, as the general of Zuo Xiao's cavalry guard, he was their commander, but they begged him to accept his account, why is this?

As the saying goes, there is a cause before there is an effect, he smiled and said: "You are already under the account of this general, but why do you say this?" ”

The hundreds of Zuo Xiao cavalry guards kneeling on the ground, you look at me, I look at you, and finally their eyes fell on one of the square-faced soldiers with a figure-eight beard.

The square-faced soldier gritted his teeth, looked at Fang Chengtian, hugged his fists and said, "Don't hide it from General Fang, I'll wait ......."

As he spoke, he turned around and swept the other brothers kneeling behind him, and continued: "We are actually the internal responses of General Huang in the army, and he asked me and other brothers to lurk in the Zuo Xiao cavalry guard, and tell him everything that happened in the army.....

At this point, he lowered his head and said no more.

I see, Fang Chengtian nodded lightly, smiled, looked at the soldiers of Zuo Xiao's cavalry guards who were kneeling on the ground, and then looked at the soldiers of the siege infantry next to him, and said weakly: "Brothers, please get up, we fought side by side last night, life and death together, in my heart, we are brothers who are closer than brothers!" ”

He paused and continued: "As for you reporting everything in our army to General Huang, it must be General Huang's kindness to you, so you will do this, and you can be regarded as a good man with affection and righteousness, I don't blame you for this matter, and our Chengtian army has always done things above board, and is not afraid of people knowing, you don't have to blame yourself, if General Huang asks in the future, you will answer truthfully." ”

The square-faced soldier was stunned, he didn't expect General Fang not only to love soldiers like a son, but also to be so upright and generous, he couldn't help but be moved, sighed, shook his head and said: "General Fang, since General Huang abandoned us yesterday, we have been very disappointed in him, and we will ....... from now on."

As he spoke, he raised three fingers, pointed to Tianzheng and said: "We swear to only serve General Fang, if we violate this oath, five thunders will hit the top, and we will not die!" ”

The rest of the soldiers also swore to the sky, and said in unison: "We swear to only serve General Fang, if you violate this oath, five thunders will hit the top, and you will not die well!" ”

Yesterday Huang Gang came in a hurry, hurried away, when did he say the words of abandoning them? Fang Chengtian couldn't help but be suspicious, secretly saying that these people didn't want to change the conspiracy into a conspiracy, and win their trust by retreating, right?

The square-faced soldier was like a worm in Fang Chengtian's stomach, he seemed to know what Fang Chengtian was thinking, and when he said it, it directly made Fang Chengtian's suspicions greatly reduced.

"General Fang, you must be very strange, why did the last general and others say that General Huang abandoned us, so far, General Fang has taken us as brothers, and we don't want to hide anything, yesterday Huang Gang announced General Huang's military order, asking us to resist the Tang army, we sent brothers to catch up and ask him, what should we do with these brothers? He actually called us ......"

He suddenly smiled bitterly and said word by word: "Fend for yourself!" ”

Fang Chengtian nodded, and said slowly: "Okay, let's not mention the past, from now on, everyone is the robe brothers, as for the rules of this general, most of the brothers in the army are very clear, this general will not say much, if there are brothers who are still clear, you can ask everyone to command." ”

As he spoke, he paused, his face sank, and he said loudly: "Li Xiangrong, Li Daniu, Gao Shiyuan, and Zhang Zhengfei listen to the order!" ”

"The last general!" The four of them responded with their fists in unison, and they all came out of the ranks, came to the bottom of the high platform, and stood straight looking at Fang Chengtian.

Fang Chengtian pointed to the four of them and said, "The ability of the four of them, I believe everyone can see it!" Therefore, the general decided to appoint them as the general of the Zuo Xiao cavalry guard, each leading a quarter of the men and horses, from now on, I hope that all brothers will love each other, if anyone stabs in the back, Hugh blames General Ben for being ruthless! ”

"Yes!" The generals responded in unison.

Fang Chengtian nodded with satisfaction, looked at Gao Shiyuan, and ordered: "General Gao, pass the order, the army will be mobilized, and go south to find the general!" ”

The army chose the direction, bypassed the official road and the city, picked the mountain and forest paths, trained the troops along the way, and hurried on the road, and traveled for more than ten days to reach the territory of Xuzhou.

The rolling waters of the river shimmer golden in the setting sun.

The army dragged a long line along the twists and turns of the river, and walked downstream like an earthworm in the sound of the rumbling water.

This way, although the road is difficult to walk, but there is no need to worry about military rations, between the mountains and forests, wild fruits and vegetables, birds and hares, enough for the army to be hungry!

Fang Chengtian led the war horse and walked at the front of the team, looking at the steep mountains on both sides, the green and yellow forests, as if walking in a deep ditch, and he didn't know when he would be able to get out.

"Report!"

In the midst of the shouts, a vigorous figure rushed in front of him, knelt down on one knee in front of Fang Chengtian, and said with his fists clenched: "General Fang, my subordinates found a military camp ten miles ahead, it seems to be the Tang army camp, and there is ...... inside Inside......"

As he spoke, he suddenly became slumped, frowning, clenching his teeth, and seemed to have difficulty speaking.

Fang Chengtian frowned, and said suspiciously: "What's wrong inside?" ”

The spy replied: "General Fang, do you still remember the camp in the west of Yangzhai City, which you called 'Chung Mo Yan'......"

"What?!" Fang Chengtian exclaimed, "You said that the camp in front is also ......" His eyes suddenly widened like copper bells.

Why didn't he remember? Failing to rescue the people of Yangzhai City from that demon village has always been a stalk in his heart!

"Yes, my subordinates have seen clearly, there are at least twenty giant mounds in the camp....... Moreover, there are many people trapped in the camp, who are being ...... by the beasts."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Fang Chengtian's angry shouting: "Gao Shiyuan, send an order to the whole army and prepare for war!" ”

Gao Shiyuan was already behind Fang Chengtian, and he naturally heard what he said just now, so he quickly clenched his fists and replied "yes", and hurriedly turned around and arranged.

Listening to the noisy sound of the entire army behind him, Fang Chengtian gritted his teeth, looked at the spies in front of him, and asked, "Can you see how many troops are in that battalion?" How many people? ”

The spy nodded and said, "General Hui, my subordinates have roughly counted, and there are not many troops in the camp, about a thousand or so, but there are a few more people, almost four or five thousand!" ”

Fang Chengtian squinted his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "What is the terrain around the camp?" ”

The spy said: "The terrain is extremely dangerous, the camp is built on the back of the cliff in the middle of the mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, from the bottom of the mountain to the top is full of forests, nothing can be seen, but the mountain can see every move under the mountain clearly." ”

He paused and continued: "My subordinates also heard a scream from the mountain just now, and they only found out when they sneaked up the mountain. ”

Fang Chengtian nodded, and said in his heart: "In this way, it is very easy for the army to be discovered, and it can only send a small team of men and horses to raid!" ”

At the moment, he called Li Daniu and told him about the discovery of the "Grinding Pill" in front of him, and then instructed: "General Li Bi, select two hundred strong soldiers from the heavy cavalry battalion, abandon the horse, sneak up the mountain with this general, and break their camp defense!" ”

Li Daniu said with an angry face: "The last general will arrange this!" With that, he turned and left.

At this time, Gao Shiyuan returned, and Fang Chengtian instructed him: "General Gao, wait a minute, you take the army, sneak to the bottom of the mountain to ambush, and when the general breaks through the camp of those beasts, as soon as the arrow is fired, you will rush up with the army!" ”

Gao Shiyuan clenched his fists and commanded: "Yes!" ”

Li Xiangrong walked over and said worriedly: "Young master, I'll go with you......"

Fang Chengtian looked at him and wanted to refuse, but seeing his firm face, he sighed, nodded, and looked ahead like a knife.
