When Yang Yanye announced the disbandment of Minyong and the news that the county soldiers were sent back to their original place, Wen Xiaodao couldn't help but put on a smug smile. He was responsible for a series of actions to persecute Yang Yanye during these days. curated. Luo Yao entrusted this matter to him because he knew that Wen Xiaodao was better at doing this kind of thing than anyone else.
In terms of duels, two Wen Xiaodao may not be as good as one Zhan Yao.
But in terms of conspiracy and tricks, Zhan Yaowei may not be Wen Xiaodao's opponent.
The so-called Minyong killed several soldiers from the left front guard, which was completely unfounded. Wen Xiaodao brought hundreds of elite cavalry into Minyong's camp that day, and after killing dozens of people, he thought it would arouse Minyong's resistance. To laugh.
Luo Yao's most elite heavy cavalry battalion with 1,000 heavy cavalry and 3,000 light cavalry was ready to go three miles away. As long as Wen Xiaodao's signal is sent out, the cavalry will rush over. To deal with more than 10,000 Minyong who are not even fully equipped with armor or even a horizontal knife, in Wen Xiaodao's opinion, 4,000 cavalry are more than enough.
Yang Yanye's timely arrival made Wen Xiaodao a little depressed. His purpose of planning this conflict was to destroy the Minyong in Yang Yanye's hands. If only a few thousand people were killed, Yang Yanye would have to compromise.
However, although the plan at the time failed, it still forced Yang Yanye to disband Minyong.
Wen Xiaodao walked into Luo Yao's big tent excitedly, his face flushed because of excitement. I have to say that he is really an extremely beautiful man, so beautiful that most women would be jealous of his face. His face was very pale, but not the sickly white one, it was very healthy, with a hint of red. His eyes are slender, and when he squints his eyes and smiles, with his small nose and bright red lips, he has a different kind of charm.
"General, Yang Yanye dismissed Minyong."
Wen Xiaodao walked in quickly, and hastily told the news before he had time to salute.
Luo Yao, who was sitting behind the table reading a book, raised his head and glanced at him, but his face didn't change at all with a hum.
There was only Luo Yao in the big tent, so Wen Xiaodao was not as serious as he was in front of outsiders. He walked behind Luo Yao, stretched out his hand and gently pinched Luo Yao's shoulder.
"What? This news doesn't make you happy?"
"As expected."
Luo Yao leaned back and closed his eyes. He seems to enjoy Wen Xiaodao's technique very much, the severity is appropriate. Wen Xiaodao felt that he knew Luo Yao better than any other woman, even Luo Yao's wife Chu Shi was not as good as him. After all, Luo Yao hadn't had any intimate actions with the Chu family for many years.
Wen Xiaodao's fingers are slender, and there are no calluses in the palm of his hand from holding the knife for a long time. He is a man who pays great attention to grooming, whether it is dressing or protecting his skin. Luo Yao once said that he had a good-looking face and a charming smile, and that his hands were gentler than women's, so he paid special attention to protecting his face and hands.
When there is a little wind and sand, he will wear a bamboo hat with a scarf to cover his face. He didn't allow his fingers and nails to be a little unclean, and he didn't allow his hands to look rough.
"tired?"
Wen Xiaodao asked softly.
"Sitting all day, why are you tired?"
Luo Yao was silent for a while and said: "In a while, you go to see Yang Yanye in person, and tell him that those Minyongs are all great men, and I like them very much. If anyone is willing to join the left front guard, I will take them all. Although these soldiers are not well-trained They are not prime, but after these two years, they already know how to kill. Relatively speaking, their murderous aura is heavier than most of the soldiers in the left front guard."
"It turns out that the general is killing two birds with one stone."
Wen Xiaodao pursed his lips and smiled: "Not only did he force Yang Yanye to disband Minyong, but also made the Minyong resent Yang Yanye's worthlessness. When Yang Yanye had to disband them, the general took them in again... You thought of it from the very beginning. After all this, why didn’t you tell me? If I had told me, I wouldn’t have killed so many people. Now those people hate our Left Front Guard much more than they hate Yang Yanye.”
Luo Yao shook his head: "I don't lack those 10,000 brave men, it's good if someone is willing to stay. If they don't want to stay because they hate me, do I still ask them?"
Wen Xiaodao's long and slender eyebrows frowned, and his tone was a bit complaining: "How can I hate you, I have been doing this from the beginning to the end, they will hate me if they want..."
"Are you blaming me?"
Luo Yao looked back at him and asked.
Wen Xiaodao blushed, and she was as delicate and beautiful as a flower: "Who dares... just... I haven't served the general for a while, thinking that the general has a new love and forgets the old one. I have been feeling uncomfortable these days, general, don't be angry .”
"New love, old love?"
Luo Yao froze for a moment, then suddenly understood.
He glanced back at Wen Xiaodao, and a smile flashed in his eyes: "Why is there such a strong smell of jealousy in your words? I know who you are talking about, and I know what you are thinking, otherwise you will delay on purpose." How could I not punish you for negligence of duty? Why are you more narrow-minded than a woman? What are you thinking about all day long?"
"Isn't the general getting colder and colder these days?"
Wen Xiaodao snorted, and turned his head away from Luo Yao.
Luo Yao smiled and said: "He is already a general of the fourth rank, why is he not arrogant at all."
"atmosphere?"
Wen Xiaodao blushed: "What kind of atmosphere do I want in front of the general?"
Luo Yao shook his head and said, "You don't need to ask more about Fang Jie, he is different from you. No one in the left front, in the southwest, is like you. You should be content, I let you go all these years because I know your loyalty to me. But I don’t tell you some things because it’s not time to tell you. Or, there’s no need to tell you clearly. You should understand that although I dote on you, it doesn’t mean You can do whatever you want."
Wen Xiaodao hummed, as if Luo Yao reprimanded him, but he was very happy.
Looking at his delicate and feminine face, Luo Yao couldn't help stretching out his hand to straighten his hair: "I'll give you what's due, and I won't give you any less."
…
…
Fang Jie took the men and horses of the Shanzi Camp to train, and no one cared about it. Shanziying's position in the left halfback became more and more special, although in name it was now under the control of the vanguard general Wen Xiaodao. But since Fang Jie fought on the north bank of the river last time, Wen Xiaodao seemed to feel that if Luo Yao was offended because of him, the gain would not be worth the loss, so he almost never restrained Shan Ziying.
Fang Jie was also happy to be at ease, taking Shan Ziying out for training every day, even if he left for a whole day, he didn't have to report to Wen Xiaodao's big tent, and Wen Xiaodao no longer found some excuses to arrange him.
Fang Jie led Shan Ziying to rush out for thirty miles in one breath, and then found an open space for Chen Qianshan to lead the cavalry for training. He himself took ten people from the camp and the big dog Qilin, and a group of ten people rode away on horseback, and went into a forest saying that they were going to hunt. Chen Qianshan didn't doubt it either, he knew that General Fang's temperament was very casual.
After entering the forest, Fang Jie slowed down the speed of the red horse, and looked at the surrounding environment from time to time.
After about two miles in, Fang Jie reined in his horse.
Walking out from behind a big tree was a man about forty years old, wearing leather armor, with a horizontal knife on his waist. This man was very strong, with a beard, and a long scar on the left cheek, which looked a little hideous. When he walked out, he walked with big strides. From this point, it can be seen that he has a vigorous and resolute temperament.
His clothes were a bit worn out, but he was neatly dressed.
"Excuse me, is it General Fang?"
After the man came out, he clasped his fists and asked.
Fang Jie nodded and jumped off his horse: "Marquis Lu Feng?"
The middle-aged man nodded: "It's me."
He looked at Fang Jie for a few times and then his eyes were slightly contemptuous: "Master Yang asked me to wait for you here with my brothers. He said that you would lead us to continue fighting against the rebels. I heard that you brought a dozen My entourage dared to fight the rebels on the north bank of the river, I thought he was a cold and tough guy, but I was surprised when I saw him today."
Fang Xie knew what kind of set these unruly men were up to, so he didn't answer. Going to the side, he punched a tree with thick legs down, then turned around and looked at Lu Fenghou and asked, "Do you think I'm not the kind of person who can fight?"
Lu Fenghou's face changed, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
"I'm starting to believe it now. It's said that you fought and killed among the tens of thousands of rebels on the north bank without any injuries. I don't believe it. A man without scars on his body cannot be a qualified soldier. Although we are only civilians, this In the past two years, there have been no less murders than Zhanbing. Eighteen thousand civilians stood on the south side of the Yellow Niu River, and two hundred thousand rebels dared not cross the river easily. So even if we disband, even if we want to change people to follow, we must see clearly what we want What kind of person is following, is he a coward?"
Fang Jie couldn't help laughing: "I've always been the only one who laughed at others as cowards."
He looked behind Lu Fenghou: "How many people are willing to stay?"
"four thousand."
Lu Fenghou said: "But the person is not here, I came here by myself, they entrusted me to see if you are a person worth following."
Fang Jie shook his head: "After 120 steps into the woods, you will be the first scout. In the big tree, although the camouflage is good, but the gray cloth clothes are still too conspicuous. Two hundred and three Ten steps later, at least 300 people were ambushed in the grass on both sides. I didn't even need to look to know, because your people were hiding but their breath was too heavy. The people in ambush couldn't suppress their emotions, as if There are three hundred wolves hiding around me, but they are not scary at all, because I knew you were there from the beginning."
"After entering the forest, at least two hundred archers were aiming at me in the dark. But unfortunately, the bows in your hands are bamboo bows made by yourself. The strength is too low, and the sound is too loud when you draw the bow. In order not to be discovered by me, your people retreated seventy steps away. In such a dense forest, how many big trees block the view within seventy steps? The bamboo bow can send the feather arrows a hundred steps at most, However, after seventy steps, there is actually no lethality."
"I can't guess how many people are behind you, but your concealment skills are really rubbish."
Fang Jie shook his head: "I'm going to ask Mr. Yang, not for a foolish and reckless man who can only do his best. No matter how many people are like this, they will rush to the battlefield to die. Giving me 100,000 is still a waste of food. You I just said that you want to choose a qualified person to follow, but unfortunately, in my opinion, you are not qualified."
Lu Fenghou's face turned pale, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes: "Since the general doesn't like us, there's no need for us to talk anymore. If I don't follow anyone, I will still lead my brothers to fight against the rebels. The big deal is death, what are you afraid of?"
"When you die, you die."
Fang Jie said lightly: "It's a pity...and don't show off in front of me that you are not afraid of death. To be honest, you don't even know what war is. That's right, you and the rebels have been facing each other across the river for nearly two years. And also fought some battles and killed some people... Is this the capital of your pride?"
Fang Jie sneered: "With your demonstrated abilities, if the rebels want to cross the river, you really can't stop them. Don't think that the rebels are afraid of you, they are afraid of Luo Yao."
"enough!"
Lu Fenghou said with an extremely ugly face: "Since we can't talk about it, then there is no need to talk about it, general! Let's find a way out by ourselves!"
"OK."
Fang Jie made a gesture of invitation: "You are not afraid of death, but there are millions of people in Huangyang Road behind you. It is not a pity that you died. After the rebel army crossed the river, those people will be pitiful. How many orphans and widows were displaced, How many old folks turned into bones... They stood at the entrance of the village and waited eagerly. What they were waiting for was not the triumphant return of their hometown sons, but enemies like wolves and tigers! Houses were burned, wives and daughters were raped, rivers were cut off, and fertile land was turned into scorched earth. "
"us… "
Lu Fenghou's Adam's apple moved up and down, and he swallowed hard: "We are unwilling to retreat precisely because there are folks and elders standing behind us!"
"But you are not qualified soldiers."
Fang Jie raised his jaw slightly: "I don't force anything, just stand up if you are willing to follow me. There is not much I can do, just lead you to kill, and then... let you try to kill as few as possible."
