Fang Jie disrupted the Shanzi camp system, which made Lei Hu and others even more dissatisfied. Of the 1,200 soldiers, Fang Jie picked out fifty personal soldiers, twenty archers with good marksmanship and eighty simple swordsmen to form a brigade, which he personally trained and led. Appointing a school lieutenant as a deputy is equivalent to allocating the most elite men and horses in the Shanzi Battalion. The most direct adverse reaction is that the original brigade leaders are no longer full of soldiers.
Fang Jie also ignored the dissatisfied comments of the school captains and brigade leaders in private, and didn't even explain. The officers who had already resisted him were even more indignant, but because of the strict military discipline of the left avant-garde, no one showed it on the surface. The daily training of the Shanzi Camp was handed over to Lei Hu, who took the 150-man team out for training alone.
Lei Hu asked the soldiers in private, and the soldiers told him that Fang Jie's training was very different from the past.
Apart from training the one hundred and fifty soldiers, Fang Jie would spare time every day to supervise Lei Hu leading the troops. But he said nothing and never interfered. As a result, after ten days, the military officers including Lei Hu didn't understand Fang Xie even more. In 20 days, there will be a battle with a battalion led by Ye Jinnan, but Fang Xie doesn't seem to care about it at all.
You must know that Ye Jinnan is the one who is highly appreciated by Luo Yao among the left avant-garde, and the Sixth Army he leads among the thirty armies is a very powerful one. In terms of military strategy and strategy, Ye Jinnan is the best among all generals. In terms of personal cultivation, he is also an outstanding one. When the soldiers discussed in private, the ten most powerful people under Luo Yao's command were called the ten heroes of Luomen, and among the ten heroes of Luomen, Ye Jinnan ranked third.
Because Fang Jie did not interfere with the training of other soldiers, Lei Hu felt that this little Mr. Fang was just a vain name. If he has real talents, how can he let him go
And the few brigades who had been transferred with the largest number of people became more and more unscrupulous in private discussions. On the twentieth day, when Fang Jie raised his account, some even excused himself from being unwell, but Fang Jie just smiled and still didn't pursue it. This made the officers even more presumptuous. At first, because they were afraid of military law, no one dared to directly oppose Fang Jie. At this time, they felt that Fang Xie was just a person with a false name, so they began to test Fang Xie's bottom line.
When the officers discussed with Lei Hu in private, they all said that Lei Hu would evade Fang Jie's rights. Anyway, he doesn't care about the soldiers' drills, so it's better to let him do nothing. Although these officers and Lei Hu are not necessarily of one mind on weekdays, they work together when they have common opposition.
Lei Hu didn't dare to do this, although he really wanted to.
Putting aside Fang Jie's status as an imperial envoy, he was still a celebrity in front of the emperor. If you offend this person badly, it is very likely that you will cause unnecessary trouble at that time. But people are a kind of very strange creatures. They know that there are some things they can't touch but they still can't help it. Lei Hu didn't dare to say that Fang Jie was excluded, but he wanted to test Fang Jie's bottom line. He said that he didn't want to evade Fang Jie, but he was looking forward to taking the command of Shanziying back into his hands.
Not being reconciled caused his attitude to slowly change.
On the twentieth day when Fang Jie raised his account, two brigade leaders failed to show up due to illness. Instead of punishing them, Fang Jie said a few words of concern, and even ordered the military doctor to treat them, without asking carefully. At night, Lei Hu and several officers under his command got together and agreed that Fang Jie was just a guy who was strong on the outside but capable on the inside.
With this first time, Lei Hu became more courageous.
"If you find a chance, Captain, you can try again."
A brigade leader said in a low voice: "On the first day, he seemed to have some skills, but for the past 20 days, he only stared at the 150 soldiers every day and ignored us at all. It can be seen that this person also Some self-knowledge. Although he is appreciated by His Majesty, even though he is the head of the Martial Arts Institute, he has never led soldiers! Why did he choose 150 people to take with him? Because he knew that he could not lead 1,500 people The team! When he was in Fan Gu, he was just a deputy of the scout team, and there were not many people under him... Just because he knew he didn't have this ability, he deliberately pretended to be strict at the beginning, but he didn't dare to offend us at all."
Lei Hu thought for a while and said: "After a few days, if he transfers troops... You guys try to contradict him deliberately, and if he still doesn't have any sanctions, we don't have to worry about anything. It's just a general It’s nothing but trash, I’ll have the final say in this camp from now on.”
"The captain is right."
A brigade leader said: "Fang Jie is just bluffing. Think about it, a scout deputy suddenly has 1,500 people in his hand. Isn't he panicked? It is because of fear that he will let us do what we want."
"Ten days until the competition."
Lei Hu sneered and said, "I want to win against General Ye, what a joke. He didn't care about the training for twenty days, and just led the one hundred and fifty people to do nothing."
"By the way, Lieutenant, have you asked again these days, what exactly did the 150 people train? I went to ask Lao Chen, and he told me at the beginning that he actually said something about the military order later on. Don't allow anyone to leak it, but he still pretends to me... Damn, I don't know what benefits Fang Xie has given him, it seems that he and us are not of the same mind. When Fang Xie is mentioned, he has a look of admiration."
"Old Chen must have been bought by Fang Jie."
Old Chen was the school lieutenant Fang Jie picked out to lead the team. His name was Chen Qianshan, and he was the lowest of the five school lieutenants in Shanziying. In Shanziying, there are four soldiers and one lieutenant of auxiliary soldiers. Chen Qianshan is the captain of the auxiliary army who is in charge of the two hundred auxiliary soldiers and one hundred horsemen. His status is lower than that of other captains. On weekdays, other people don't think much of him.
But who knew that Fang Jie picked him out to be the leader of the hundred elite instead, which made the other four captains very unconvinced. Those were one hundred of the most elite soldiers, and they were handed over to an auxiliary lieutenant to lead them. It was a waste of those soldiers.
"Leave him alone."
Lei Hu waved his hand: "Even if Lao Chen is bought by him, so what use is a lieutenant of an auxiliary soldier!"
"so… "
He lowered his voice and said to his subordinates: "Tomorrow morning, gather the soldiers to go out to the camp for training, and don't tell Fang Xie. Let's see how he reacts. If he still doesn't care, then we will have no scruples in the future."
"good!"
Everyone responded, chatted for a while, and then went back to sleep.
…
…
After Lei Hu waited for everyone to leave, he sat for a while by himself, carefully recalling what Fang Jie had done in the past twenty days, and became more and more sure that this well-known Mr. Fang was just a person with a name in vain. , Fang Xie didn't dare to lead troops because he had never led them before. The strength he showed on the first day was nothing more than a bluff.
He was really sleepy, so he got into bed to rest. But it didn't take long for him to fall asleep when he was awakened by a loud gong. After so many years of training, he turned over and sat up subconsciously, and immediately touched the weapons beside him: "What's going on?!"
The guard on duty outside the tent quickly replied: "Back to the captain, my subordinates don't know what's going on. The orderly rang the gong and said that General Fang ordered an emergency assembly."
"What time is it?"
He rubbed his eyes and asked.
"It's just too ugly."
"Ugly?"
Lei Hu was startled, and then cursed in a low voice.
Reluctantly, he got up and asked his own soldiers to help him put on the armor. Glancing at the long lance on the weapon rack, after thinking about it, he decided not to bring it. By the time he stepped out of the tent, most of the soldiers were fully dressed and assembled. However, some of the brigade leaders and school lieutenants who led the team hadn't gotten up yet.
He yawned, rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked forward. After walking a few steps, he saw a place in front of him where the torches were lit. Fang Jie in a black shirt was standing there under the guard of a group of flying fish robes. Seeing those murderous flying fish robes, he shuddered in his heart, and faintly had an ominous premonition.
Lei Hu quickened his pace and saluted before Fang Jie's body: "General, what happened during the overnight assembly?"
Fang Jie glanced at him and said calmly, "You'll find out later."
Lei Hu's heart tightened, he took a few steps back and stood to the side from time to time to peek at Fang Jie's expression. Under the light of the torch, the handsome young general stood with his hands behind his back, his face solemn. Behind him, the black boy was holding a precious sword in his hand, while the burly man named Nie Xiaoju was holding the general's flag. The forty-eight flying fish robes were separated into two rows, pressing the handles of the horizontal knives by their waists.
He kept wondering in his heart what happened. At this time, the gong rang for the second time, and Fang Jie ordered in a flat tone: "Chen Xiaoru, take someone to count the number of people. Chen Qianshan, take your people to patrol, and all those who are late will wait outside the array." !"
Chen Qianshan, the lieutenant of the auxiliary army, let out a sigh, and walked out quickly with the hundred soldiers.
Not long after, there was a sound of cursing from a distance, and the officers of the school captain brigade who arrived late were blocked by Chen Qianshan's people and started a conflict, cursing and trying to break in.
"Report."
After a while, Chen Xiaoru came back with someone to report: "General, there are 1,200 soldiers, the actual number is 1,168, and the auxiliary soldiers are 300, the actual number is 297. The brigade led twelve, and seven actually arrived, and five captains, actually two."
Although there was a rush to gather in the middle of the night, most of the people were still there.
"Chen Qianshan, bring all those who are late."
Fang Jie ordered in a cold tone.
Chen Qianshan agreed loudly, and led his soldiers to bring all the officers and soldiers who were late. Dozens of people were still making noise at first, but no one dared to make any more noise after seeing Fang Jie's unkind expression.
"The military law of the Great Sui Dynasty, if the gong fails to arrive after two gongs, how should it be punished?"
Fang asked.
Chen Xiaoru replied loudly: "Twenty times for staff, and double for officers."
"Flying fish robe!"
"exist!"
Forty-eight Feiyupao agreed loudly.
"According to the military law, a soldier shall be punished with a stick of twenty, and a lieutenant and above shall be punished with a stick of forty! There is no mercy, even death!"
Fang Xie gave a command coldly, which immediately made those people gasp.
Those captains and brigade leaders who arrived late were so frightened that their legs softened immediately. They all knew what forty army sticks meant. That is by no means a simple number. If the executioner is not merciful, there is no suspense at all in killing a person with forty army sticks. And the executioner was not the people from Shanziying, but the Feiyu robe beside Fang Jie. How could those guys be merciful when they started to fight
"General... I'm not feeling well. I already asked for leave at midnight yesterday. Please forgive me, General..."
A school lieutenant shouted loudly, looking at Lei Hu from time to time.
Lei Hu's face turned pale, he opened his mouth but didn't dare to say anything. Fang Xie's eyes were so cold, it was as if he had fallen into an ice cave and his body and mind were frozen. He wanted to plead for his subordinates, but he didn't dare to look at that knife-like eyes again.
"I remember I said that."
Fang Jie raised his jaw slightly and said word by word: "I will start to trust you when I arrive at Shanziying, trusting you unconditionally. But you have let me down... You said you were unwell, but whose tent were you in last night? How much alcohol did you drink? You are not feeling well, and you can drink and talk until midnight? Don’t blame me, it’s you who let me throw away the trust.”
"Deceiving the general, not being able to make an appointment, drinking at night, forming a party for private interests according to the military law of the Sui Dynasty, how should we deal with it?"
"To lie to the general, you will be punished with a staff of twenty. If you don't reach the point, you will be charged with a staff of twenty! Drinking at night, you will be charged with a staff of fifteen, and you will be punished for forming a party for private gain..."
Chen Xiaoru replied loudly.
"Then beat to death."
Fang Jie waved his hand: "Pleader, share the same crime!"
"Here!"
Those flying fish robes immediately pounced on them like wolves and tigers!
