Luo Yao stood on the embankment, watching Fang Jie lead the cavalry from the Shanzi Battalion in the distance and slowly set off towards Hebei through the pontoon bridge. His eyes were fixed on the tall and straight figure at the front of the team, and there was a very special meaning deep in his eyes. No one saw the fleeting brilliance, the meaning is very complicated.
Standing behind him, the man in black couldn't see his eyes either, but it was as if he could look directly into Luo Yao's heart. When Luo Yao was staring at Fang Jie's back, a strange smile appeared on the face covered by the mask of the man in black robe.
"Notify Brothers Duan Bianbao and Duan Bianxiong on the North Shore, and let them keep an eye on the movement of Shanziying. Tell them, if something happens to the imperial envoy, I will pick off the guy who eats from their necks .If the imperial envoy is lost, the two of them will pick a cemetery by themselves."
The soldiers responded, and immediately turned and left.
Wen Xiaodao stood on the other side of Luo Yao, the corner of his mouth twitched as if he was dissatisfied.
At this moment, he suddenly had a very strange feeling in his heart, subconsciously glanced to the side, and then saw the eyes of the man in black robe with only one eye showing a half-smile. Wen Xiaodao was startled, and subconsciously tightened his hands on the handle of the horizontal knife.
He didn't know what the origin of this man in black was.
In the entire left avant-garde army, except for Luo Yao, no one knew who he was.
When the man in black robe appeared in the army for the first time, Luo Yao introduced that this man was surnamed Mo, and he was his best friend when he joined the army. So the people in the left front called him General Mo, but no one had seen his face. He himself said that he was disfigured on the battlefield back then, he was too ugly and hideous so he didn't want others to see it. And the reason why the black robe covers his body all the year round is because he also has scars all over his body.
Luo Yao directly allocated an army to him from the left front guard. Later, people collectively referred to this General Mo and the other nine generals as the Ten Elites of Luomen. Although this General Mo ranked last, it is obvious that his status Compared with other people, even higher than Wen Xiaodao.
Luo Yao seemed to attach great importance to this person's opinion, which was particularly surprising. You must know that people like Luo Yao are arbitrary most of the time, and rarely change their decisions because of other people's opinions. He is used to calling the shots instead of letting his subordinates control his thoughts.
The person Wen Xiaodao feared the most among the left forwards was not Zhan Yao, but this General Mo.
He always felt that General Mo's only exposed eye carried a magical power, which seemed to be able to penetrate all barriers and directly see into everyone's heart. Every time he looked at General Mo, he felt that he became naked, even his soul was exposed, without any cover.
Therefore, Wen Xiaodao thought about killing this person more than once.
Of course, he didn't dare.
The process of Wen Xiaodao's rise is different from anyone else, and he himself knows this well. But it's no wonder he, since he was a child, he didn't see himself as a man. In his view, all women's things are extremely beautiful. The long skirt, the headgear, these things moved his heart, and he felt that God must have played a joke on him when he was born.
He's a man, but that doesn't stop him from liking men.
In the upper class of the Sui Dynasty, many people were not fond of women and men. There are quite a few descendants of aristocratic families, and the handsome little bookboys they bring with them are actually tools for them to vent their desires. The brothels with a slightly larger scale will also raise many young masters with handsome features, and the price is not lower than that of red girls.
Although his becoming the second among the ten outstanding men of Luomen has something to do with the secret between him and Luo Yao, Wen Xiaodao never really felt that he was using Luo Yao. In fact, many people in the army know that Wen Xiaodao's eyes on Luo Yao are always so different. It's like a woman in Huaichun in the 28th, looking at her beloved lover.
It was also because of this that Wen Xiaodao hated others talking about him and Luo Yao behind his back. Once he knew someone had said it, he would pull out the person's tongue.
And this General Mo was someone Wen Xiaodao dared not target.
Seeing him withdrawing his eyes, General Mo seemed to have lost interest. Turning my gaze back to the Shanziying across the river, it seems that there is something more attractive there.
His eyes were different from Luo Yao's.
He is appreciative, while Luo Yao is... complicated that no one can understand.
across the river
Standing outside the camp, Duan Bianbao looked at the cavalry team coming from the opposite side and couldn't help sighing: "Brother, who do you think is the fastest climber among our left halfbacks?"
Duan Bianxiong replied without thinking, "It must be Wen Xiaodao, that sissy... Of course, that guy still has some skills. I remember one time he didn't lose much in a competition with Zhan Yao, and it seems like he's killing Zhan Yao." He still killed more people. When the He people mention Wen Xiaodao's name, they hate it from the bottom of their hearts."
Duan Bianbao rolled his eyes at him: "Idiot!"
"Why are you scolding me again!"
Duan Bianxiong stared at him and asked.
"Because you were wrong."
Duan Bianbao looked at the man on the red horse in front of Shanziying and murmured: "It took Wen Xiaodao seven years to climb to where he is today, but the guy who walked over now may be able to climb in less than a year." To the same position as you and me. If there are no accidents, in a few years, Zhan Yao will have to lean back... "
"Fuck!"
Duan Bianxiong said angrily: "Why!"
Duan Bianbao smiled: "I don't know what his reasoning is, it would be great if I knew... I always feel that this person will be great in the future, and you haven't noticed his eyes. By chance, that kind of cold and general So similar."
on the embankment
The man in black suddenly smiled: "General Fang is so courageous, he will become a great weapon in the future."
Luo Yao was silent for a while and said, "Everything that achieves great success is divided equally between heaven and man. How far he can go, ultimately depends on himself and luck."
The man in black smiled: "The general helped him, isn't it just the heavens helping him?"
…
…
The Shanzi Battalion had a total of 1,500 people, but Fang Jie left all the auxiliary soldiers on the south bank of the river. These auxiliary soldiers have no horses, and they all carry them, which will only slow down the movement speed of the Shanziying. What the heavy cavalry pursues is the kind of heaviness that can crush everything, while the light cavalry pursues the lightness like the wind.
"General, what is our goal?"
Chen Qianshan asked Fang Jie as he walked.
Fang Jie seemed to have something on his mind, he was obviously taken aback when Chen Qianshan asked.
"Cross the river first."
His somewhat perfunctory answer made Chen Qianshan's heart fluctuate. He knew that Fang Jie was definitely not a person without a goal. If he crossed the river directly without a goal, it could only explain what forced Fang Xie to leave the south bank. He is a man who has been in the army for many years, and he is extremely sensitive to some things.
When Fang Jie crossed the river to investigate the enemy's situation and was trapped, he knelt outside Wen Xiaodao's tent and begged to no avail. Later he heard that the reason why Wen Xiaodao didn't save Fang Jie was because of jealousy... Others might believe that Fang Jie was the second Wen Xiaodao, but Chen Qianshan absolutely didn't believe it. What Fang Xie did, and Fang Xie's temperament and style, were by no means comparable to Wen Xiaodao.
But he believed that Wen Xiaodao would be jealous, because he knew what kind of person Wen Xiaodao was.
He suddenly thought, is General Fang crossing the river related to Wen Xiaodao? What if that bitch forced General Fang to lead his army to fight the rebels
Thinking of this, the anger in Chen Qianshan's heart couldn't help rising.
"In the past two days, let the scouts explore the situation near the rebel camp."
Fang Jie's words pulled him back from his chaotic thoughts.
"Although I entered the rebel camp last time, I was already alarmed. If the rebel general is safe, I am afraid that such an important place as the supply camp will change its position. Crossing the river is something I have always thought about, and the rebels It is what soldiers should do to fight with real swords and guns, but not rashly."
Chen Qianshan responded quickly: "I'll arrange it after crossing the river."
"Also, we will not enter Hebei Daying."
Fang Jie raised his head and glanced at the camp of the left front guard on the north bank, then shook his head: "You don't need to tell the people at Hebei Camp this time when you cross the river. Existence, of course, I will send someone to contact if necessary."
really!
Chen Qianshan was furious.
Sure enough, General Fang was squeezed out, otherwise why would he not even enter the Hebei Camp? Wen Xiaodao is a bastard, I will chop him up sooner or later!
Although he will not enter Hebei Daying, Fang Jie still has to say hello to the Duan brothers. The three of them exchanged greetings on the river bank for a while and then separated. Duan Bianxiong just looked at him with cold eyes, but Duan Bianbao was very warm. Fang Jie was not familiar with these two people, but he could tell that Duan Bianxiong was a straightforward guy, while Duan Bianbao seemed to be hiding a knife behind his bright smile.
Duan Bianxiong's eyes were colder than Duan Bianbao's smile.
The Duan brothers didn't hold back too much, Fang Jie led the Shanzi camp past the camp but didn't enter, brushing the side of the camp and continuing to the north.
"I investigated a while ago, and there is a place thirty miles to the north that is suitable for camping. The terrain is good, and it can be attacked or retreated."
Fang Jie took out the map he had drawn, pointed to a place and said: "Funiu Mountain, there are roads in front of the mountain and behind the mountain. More than ten years ago there was a Lianyun village on the mountain, which is also a famous mountain gate on the rivers and lakes of the Sui Dynasty. Later, it was said that it violated the law and was ordered by Yuan Chongwu, governor of Shandong Province. The place was abandoned, and the rebels sent a team of hundreds of people to station there. First, they sent scouts to investigate clearly, and then tried to seize the place. .”
"ah?"
Chen Qianshan froze for a moment, and opened his mouth in surprise: "General... this is not right. We only have 1,200 troops, and they are all cavalry. Attacking mountain strongholds is not what cavalry are good at, and we are far away from the Hebei camp. , Once the rebels counterattack, we will not be able to defend at all. The distance from the Hebei camp is more than 30 miles, and the Duan brothers may not rush to rescue in time. If they are trapped... the consequences will be disastrous."
Although Chen Qianshan was thinking wildly in his mind, he immediately heard that Fang Jie's order was wrong. Cavalry attacking the stronghold, this is the first mistake. Going deep into the enemy's hinterland and defending the city alone is the second most inappropriate. That is the cottage. Although the terrain is not steep, it is not conducive to the cavalry. This is the third mistake... In case the enemy's army counterattacks, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses if you try to break through. This is the fourth mistake... In short, everything is wrong.
He really couldn't imagine how Fang Jie would issue such a muddled military order.
Fang Jie smiled and said: "There are dozens of small villages like this around the camp of the rebel army. Each village has dozens to hundreds of soldiers. This Lianyun village is the closest to the Hebei camp, so it is natural to take He strikes."
Chen Qianshan knew that Fang Jie meant to make the rebels think that the Duan brothers sent troops to do it, but it was still too risky to do so. It was a pity that the Shanzi Battalion had finally been trained as a cavalry soldier and wasted in mountain warfare.
"General, my subordinates still think it's too risky..."
"I know it."
Fang Jie smiled, the cloud was calm.
