Chapter 913: People's Heart [1 Update]
At the moment, the two of them at least decided to take another look to see if Fang Xiaoyu was worthy of their assistance, and even recognized him as the Lord and offered his loyalty. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing everyone's reaction in his eyes, Fang Xiaoyu couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, sure enough, after a few years, his influence in the Zhenbei Army had obviously declined.
The only thing that is gratifying is that Kaiyangzi has no second heart for himself, plus the foundation he laid at the beginning, at least more than half of these officers present are old people who have followed him, although these newly rising newcomers are very strange to themselves, but Kaiyangzi has always regarded himself as the deputy of the Zhenbei Army, and has never thought of grabbing the power to hold the entire Zhenbei Army in his hands.
If Kaiyangzi really wants to do this, a few years will be enough for Kaiyangzi to replace the entire Zhenbei Army with his henchmen.
Although Fang Xiaoyu may not attach so much importance to the Zhenbei Army, it has to be said that the Zhenbei Army is the best node for him to intervene in the general trend of the world.
Suddenly, the shouting of killing shook the sky, and even in the general's mansion, the loud shouting and killing sound could be clearly heard.
Fang Xiaoyu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and Kaiyangzi hurriedly said to Fang Xiaoyu when he saw it: "General, this is the Mengyuan army attacking the city." ”
Fang Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel a little interested, although he had heard some legends about the Mengyuan army attacking Shanhaiguan on the way to Shanhaiguan, but those were just hearsay, he didn't expect that he had just arrived at Shanhaiguan and caught up with Mengyuan's siege.
However, looking at the reactions of the generals present, everyone did not show nervousness, but looked calm, as if it was commonplace, obviously Meng Yuan's siege of the city has become the norm.
Sure enough, then I heard Kai Yangzi say with a little disdain: "If you want me to say that these barbarians are like mad dogs, they refuse to give up knowing that they can't break through the Shanhaiguan, and they will drive a group of people to die every once in a while." ”
Fang Xiaoyu smiled slightly and said, "Fang Mou is very curious about these Mengyuan troops, you are willing to take Fang Mou to have a look." ”
Kaiyangzi laughed and said, "The general wants to meet those barbarians, so we are naturally willing to go." ”
The Mengyuan army raided everywhere on the front line of Shanhaiguan, not only to harass Shanhaiguan, but sometimes to sneak attack the Turkic tribes.
There are too many tribes large and small on the steppe, not only Turkic people, but also other tribes, so after Mengyuan broke through some tribes to burn and loot, the women and children of those tribes who were attacked will be organized, and these women and children will become the vanguard of Mengyuan's army when attacking the city.
It is conceivable that these captives who only have rudimentary weapons in their hands have little effect at all, and they are completely used to consume the arrows and other defending equipment of the defending side.
The Mengyuan army's posture of not treating human life as human life at all is quite scary, and the first time, the Great Sui soldiers who defended the city were a little stunned, and they were almost breached by the city, but fortunately, everyone repelled the Mengyuan army after reacting.
From the fear at the beginning to the current indifference, in just half a year, the Zhenbei Army was reborn under the tempering of the elite army of Mengyuan and completely grew into an elite army.
On the high city wall, Fang Xiaoyu was surrounded by several generals and looked far away, and with Fang Xiaoyu's eyesight, he could clearly see the dense siege of people under the city wall.
Sure enough, these people are the death squads in Kaiyangzi's mouth, but often the vanguard death squads of the army are selected brave, but the so-called death squads organized by the Mengyuan army are all their prisoners.
Fang Xiaoyu looked at the Mengyuan cavalry team in the distance who was responsible for driving away these captives and attacking the city, and those cavalry soldiers all looked indifferent, completely not caring about human life.
I secretly sighed in my heart, it really deserved to be the Mengyuan army that pushed across the eight directions and destroyed countless countries, even if it appeared at the end of the Sui Dynasty because of the world change, it was still one of the most elite military horses in the world.
Just on the high city wall, the generals of the Zhenbei Army were orderly directing the men and horses of all departments to deal with the death squads attacking the city in a hurry.
Arrows are shot mercilessly, taking away innocent lives one by one, but the battlefield is ruthless, either you die or I live, if the woman's benevolence sympathizes with these driven captives, what will be the consequences These Zhenbei Army soldiers who have experienced it personally know very well in their hearts.
It can be said that these captives have already fallen into a state of semi-madness under the oppression of the Mengyuan army, and the way left for them is to break through the Shanhai Pass and enter the city, so when these captives attack the city, they all look like crazy people.
It's a pity that they have rudimentary weapons, and it is obviously impossible to break through the city wall by relying on bravery.
The Great Sui generals defending the city were all elite divisions, and they were not able to break through.
Soon, a wave of more than 3,000 captives almost all died under the city wall, as the captives gradually died, the Meng Yuan general who was in charge of pressing the formation waved his hand, and suddenly saw thousands of elite cavalry suddenly start 10,000 horses galloping straight to Shanhaiguan.
Fang Xiaoyu's eyes narrowed, staring at the thousands of cavalry with burning eyes, and in the dust, one by one well-equipped and high-morale Mengyuan cavalry appeared in sight.
"Huh!"
Kaiyangzi and the other generals showed a little surprise on their faces, as if they were very surprised by the reaction of these Mengyuan cavalry.
"It's strange, could it be that this Meng Yuan general is a newcomer, and he actually attacked the city with cavalry, or does he think that we people are all paper-made."
Just listening to Kaiyangzi's meaning, you know that there are not many cases of direct cavalry attacking the city like this, and it is normal to think about it carefully, after all, except for some special circumstances, as long as the leading general has a normal head, he will definitely not lead the cavalry to attack the city, because it is simply sending him to death.
Fang Xiaoyu's eyes flashed with an essence, and suddenly his eyes looked towards the cavalry army below, and a flash of essence flashed in his eyes and said, "I see." ”
Kaiyangzi and the others looked at Fang Xiaoyu with a puzzled expression, at least they hadn't seen anything at this moment.
However, among the several generals standing there, Liu Ji and Xuruo Wu showed a little understanding, and it was obvious that the two of them also saw Meng Yuan's plan.
Fang Xiaoyu glanced at Kaiyangzi and said: "Kaiyangzi, immediately send an order, the whole city is on alert, if you can, you'd better send a capable general to lead a part of the reserve to suppress the possible turmoil in the city for me." ”
Kaiyangzi was slightly stunned, and after reacting, a cold light flashed in his eyes, if he didn't understand what Fang Xiaoyu meant, he would have wasted the experience he had gained in commanding troops in the past few years.
Thinking that there were spies in the city that Meng Yuan was mixed in, or that there were forces in the city that colluded with Meng Yuan, in a vain attempt to open the Shanhai Pass, Kaiyangzi was naturally furious.
In Kaiyangzi's view, he is responsible for guarding the territory for Fang Xiaoyu, and now that Fang Xiaoyu has returned, he can hand over Shanhaiguan and the Zhenbei Army to Fang Xiaoyu intact, which can be regarded as living up to Fang Xiaoyu's trust.
It's good now, before he finished doing this, someone jumped out and wanted to break the Shanhaiguan, which is a slap in the face.
Kaiyangzi, who was furious, immediately said: "The general is sitting here, and the turmoil in the city will be handed over to the end of the future to deal with, no matter who it is, if you dare to collude with Meng Yuan, I will destroy its three clans." ”
If this was changed to a Taoist temple, how could Kaiyangzi open his mouth like this and destroy people, but after staying in the army for a long time, the Taoist Zhongzheng and peaceful aura on Kaiyangzi's body has long been covered by the killing aura, and the opening is a fierce anger.
Saying that, Kaiyangzi glanced at the generals, and it was said that Kaiyangzi should have instructed Liu Ji and the others to obey Fang Xiaoyu's arrangement at this time, but Kaiyangzi did not speak, but looked at Fang Xiaoyu very respectfully, looking like he was asking for his life.
How could Fang Xiaoyu not see Kaiyangzi's thoughts, and sighed in his heart, sure enough, time can change everything, after a few years of military career, Kaiyangzi seems to be enlightened, and his mind is much more transparent.
patted Yangzi on the shoulder, Fang Xiaoyu said: "Go, the turmoil in the city will be handled by you, and Fang Mou will be responsible for the matter of defending the city." ”
Between speaking, Fang Xiaoyu looked at the void and said: "If there is no general, you will go with Kaiyangzi, if this time the Mengyuan side really has the idea of combining the inside and the outside, I believe that the people who are in trouble in the city will definitely be not bad, if there is no general to suppress the formation, even if it is the top powerhouse of the Mengyuan court, it will not be pleased." ”
The strength of the void is very strong, although Fang Xiaoyu's strength has declined, but the realm and vision are still there, and it can be seen at a glance that the strength of the void is almost in the realm of the half-step great grandmaster, plus the ghost king whip of the void is supernatural, even if it is a strong person with the great grandmaster, he can also entangle with it.
As Kaiyangzi left, the remaining generals looked at Fang Xiaoyu with a little more recognition and respect.
Kaiyangzi leads by example, and it can be said that Kaiyangzi's actions have completely consolidated Fang Xiaoyu's status and prestige in the Zhenbei Army.
If Kaiyangzi has a trace of disrespect for Fang Xiaoyu, then the Zhenbei Army will inevitably be chaotic, so Kaiyangzi will simply open up the general and stabilize the Zhenbei Army with his own practical actions.
Fang Xiaoyu looked at the Mengyuan army galloping from the horses below with interest, and glanced back at Liu Ji and said, "Berwin, how to deal with these Mengyuan cavalry will be handed over to you later, I hope you don't let General Ben down." ”
Liu Bowen was slightly stunned, and after reacting, a different color flashed in his eyes, and he bowed to Fang Xiaoyu, and said with a little respect: "Take the order." ”
Seeing Liu Bowen's expression reaction in his eyes, the corners of Fang Xiaoyu's mouth curled slightly, and he smiled secretly in his heart, for a resourceful figure like Liu Bowen, it is extremely difficult to subdue them, and it is actually very simple to say simple.
Like Liu Bowen, what they need is a lord who can let them play, this lord can not be strong enough, and even have shortcomings, but they must have a broad mind and lofty ambitions.
In other words, if ordinary people are in Fang Xiaoyu's situation, they will definitely centralize power as soon as possible, and they can't wait to grasp all the rights in their hands.
And the current time is the best, through a war, purge a group of generals, and then promote a group of generals, simple and rude, but also the most effective.
But Fang Xiaoyu did not do this, but handed it over to Liu Bowen to command the army to meet the enemy, such an unexpected decision naturally surprised Liu Bowen.
At least Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing next to Fang Xiaoyu, suddenly looked up at Fang Xiaoyu when Fang Xiaoyu opened his mouth to hand over the command of the army to Liu Bowen.
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked in his heart, Fang Xiaoyu's situation Zhu Yuanzhang saw clearly, there were a group of old people in the Zhenbei Army who supported Fang Xiaoyu, but almost half of the rookie generals were very unfamiliar with Fang Xiaoyu, and Fang Xiaoyu's position as the general of Zhenbei was not so stable.
If it were him, he would definitely seize this rare opportunity to use this big battle to establish his authority on the one hand, and purge some generals on the other hand, so as to promote a group of people to the top after the war to complete the control of the Zhenbei Army.
This has nothing to do with anything else, in the final analysis, it is just the desire for power that is at work.
But Fang Xiaoyu's decision was beyond Zhu Yuanzhang's expectations, so Zhu Yuanzhang was so surprised.
Liu Bowen was ordered to leave, and only two generals who followed Fang Xiaoyu in the past were left in that group.
Standing on the city wall, Fang Xiaoyu didn't look at Zhu Yuanzhang beside him, but said lightly, "Zhu Yuanzhang, aren't you surprised?" ”
After all, he has been by Fang Xiaoyu's side for some time, and Zhu Yuanzhang has a little understanding of Fang Xiaoyu when he asks himself, it is precisely because of this that Zhu Yuanzhang knows that Fang Xiaoyu is not the kind of person who kills badly, so when facing Fang Xiaoyu, the pressure is also a little less.
Hearing this at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath, and a gleam flashed in his eyes and said: "The general can obviously take the opportunity to control the Zhenbei Army, why let go of such an opportunity, Yuan Zhang is so stupid that he really can't see through the general's thoughts." ”
Fang Xiaoyu's eyes were deep, looking at the faces of the soldiers of Meng Yuan who were gradually becoming clear below, and said: "Domineering, royal road, what Fang is walking is the royal road......
While speaking, Fang Xiaoyu suddenly flew out, stepped into the air, raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar, and slapped a palm towards a figure in the Meng Yuan army.
That figure was so eye-catching in the Mengyuan army, although this person was in the middle of the army, but the kind of temperament exuded by his body was as eye-catching as the bright moon in the dark.
In Fang Xiaoyu's eyes, there seemed to be nothing else between heaven and earth except this person.
