Ever since Fang Jie beat up the generals of the Yongzhou army who were about to arrive late that night one by one, he hadn't called anyone to discuss matters. Of course, some people went to Pingshangdao Governor Luo Qiu in private, but Luo Qiu did not discuss the beating of the Yongzhou general in private, but made it clear in front of all Pingshangdao officials that Fang Jie was right!
Moreover, it is strictly ordered that all officials of Pingshang Road, whether they are civil servants or military generals, unconditionally obey Fang Jie's orders. If someone neglects their duties or deliberately slacks and shirks, Fang Jie will not be punished, and he will be the first to refuse.
This made all the officials of Pingshang Road a little surprised. They thought that Luo Qiu's enthusiasm for Fang Jie was just superficial, and Fang Jie was just a life-saving straw in Yongzhou. Straw seriously? But now it seems that Luo Qiu is not using Fang Jie as a straw at all, but as a god offering.
And Fang Jie's performance next made the generals of the Yongzhou soldiers even more dissatisfied.
On the second day after beating up the generals of the Yongzhou army, Fang Jie went out of the city under the pretext of leading the cavalry to familiarize themselves with the terrain of Yongzhou. Instead of going to the south of the city to familiarize themselves with it, they ran to the north of the city where there were no enemies to familiarize themselves. Genius came back with his soldiers, but he didn't shoot a single arrow, but those cavalrymen still looked arrogant.
On the third day, when the generals of the Yongzhou soldiers endured the pain and went to the big tent to do their work, they were told that the general and his cavalry went out of the city to familiarize themselves with the terrain, and they still went to the north of the city. In the afternoon, news spread that Fang Xie was not familiar with the terrain at all. After he led the cavalry out of the city, he asked the cavalry to find a place to rest, and he took his men to the river to fish, and sat for a whole day.
On the fourth day, it was still the same.
On the fifth day, even Luo Qiu couldn't sit still. A few days ago, I went out of the city to meet Tuhunduo, and other people had already finalized the date and place of the meeting, and the time was set ten days after the day according to Fang's explanation. As for the location, it was no surprise that Tuhunduobie really chose to be in the camp of the He people.
The date had already been set, and the location was naturally inappropriate, but Luo Qiu couldn't find a way to discuss it. Fang Jie seemed to avoid everyone on purpose, and ran out of the city to fish every day. Even though Luo Qiu firmly believed that Fang Jie was definitely not really going to play, he still couldn't understand what Fang Jie was planning.
In desperation, he had no choice but to find Fang Jie at night.
When he arrived at the door, the Xiaoqi school guarding outside invited him in very politely, but it was not Fang Jie who received him, but Zhang Xi, a civil servant under Fang Jie. This person used to be a county magistrate at the foot of Suzaku Mountain, and was recruited by Fang Jie because of his excellent official voice. This person is already in his fifties. If Da Sui Taiping is stable, he will continue to serve as the county magistrate in the end, until the old one has to step down, but he will not go any further.
This person is straightforward and doesn't know how to flatter horses, that is, he is an official in Huangyang Province. If he was in Gyeonggi Province, he would have been played to death long ago.
"Where's the general?"
Luo Qiu couldn't help asking after waiting for a while.
"The General said..."
Zhang Xi was a little uncomfortable opening his mouth. He was even more troubled seeing Luo Qiu staring at him all the time. He sighed after being silent for a while, and said straightforwardly: "The general is not in the mansion."
"ah?"
Luo Qiu was taken aback: "Where is it? I'll go look for him right away."
"Can't find..."
Zhang Xi said: "The general is not in Yongzhou city at all!"
"How can it be!"
Luo Qiu said: "Don't lie to me. Many people in the city have watched the general lead troops out every day, and some people saw him fishing by the river in the north of the city, but you told me that he was not in Yongzhou... Could it be me? Is there anyone under his rule that makes the general uncomfortable? Even so, he doesn’t need to avoid me! If there is anything to discuss with me, it’s enough.”
"no!"
Zhang Xi quickly waved his hand: "My lord, I misunderstood, the general is indeed not in the city... In fact, the general left Yongzhou three days ago. These days, the general who led the troops out every day was the general Xiahou Baichuan, wearing the clothes of the general , with the general's personal guards, so people thought it was the general who went out of the city every day... "
"On the first day, the general led 20,000 cavalry out of the city, but when he returned, there were actually only 17,000 horsemen. On the second day, another 20,000 cavalry left the city, and when he returned, there were still 17,000 horsemen. On the third day, General Xiahou pretended to be a great general and led his troops out of the city. He led 20,000 troops out and returned with 17,000 troops. On the fourth day he went out with 17,000 troops and returned with 17,000 troops. in this way… "
"That is to say, on the third day, the general had already left Yongzhou with nine thousand Qingqi."
Luo Qiu's expression changed: "Where did he go?"
"Humble job doesn't know."
Zhang Xi was afraid that Luo Qiu would not believe him: "I really don't know the lowly position, not to mention the lowly position, not even the generals in the army. The general just arranged this way to hide it from others and not let others see it. He led the troops to leave. It took so much trouble, how could the general tell the people below where he was going so easily?"
Luo Qiu thought for a while, and knew what Zhang Xi said was right. Fang Jie's move was too beautiful, the cavalry went out with 20,000 and returned with 17,000, if the team stretched a little, it wouldn't be obvious at all. After a few days in a row, a cavalry force of nearly 10,000 people was secretly brought out. And in order to ensure that others would not know that Fang Jie had just left, people pretended to be him and lead troops out every day.
"Where's your wife?"
Luo Qiu suddenly thought of the women beside Fang Jie, and guessed they must know about it.
"Which one?"
Zhang Xi asked subconsciously, and then shook his head: "You won't be able to see any of them, because the ladies have all left the city with the general... Before the general left, the general told me that on the fifth day you will be going to sleep at night." Come to the mansion and let me wait. No matter what your lord asks, answer truthfully. I followed the command of the general and did not leave the concierge this evening. Sure enough, you really came."
Luo Qiu's heart was shocked. What shocked him was that someday he would be calculated by Fang Xie.
"What else did he order?"
Luo Qiu asked.
"The general ordered the humble officer to let you go back with peace of mind. The general will definitely come back before the date agreed with the barbarian king, and he will bring back a surprise for the people in Yongzhou city. The general said that the morale in the city is low now, so it can't be like this Go down, something needs to be done to boost morale."
Luo Qiu sighed, stood up and waved his hands: "Forget it... Since he doesn't want people to know, I don't need to ask anymore."
…
…
Where is Fang Jie going
…
…
The team walked through the night quietly, the birds on the trees were not awakened, and the clouds in the sky were still floating leisurely. This is a cavalry team with a scale of nearly 10,000 people, swimming forward like a giant python clinging to the ground. The horse's hoof is covered with thick leather, and the mouth is covered with a bit, so it cannot make a sound.
But such a silently marching team exudes a strong murderous aura.
About five miles in front of this cavalry, there is a team of thirty elite scouts. Their role is to clean up the enemy scouts in front of the brigade, and they cannot expose the whereabouts of the brigade. These teams of scouts were obviously well-trained, but killing enemies who were also scouts in the dark was extremely straightforward.
They cross each other and comb back and forth, making sure no enemies are missed.
When there were dots of fire in front, the scout team stopped, and then dispatched people to report to the brigade.
The leader of the scouts got off his horse, hid himself behind a high slope and looked at the light ahead. It was a camp that stretched for miles, and there should be no less than 30,000 people in the camp to see the lights. And in the middle of this piece of sparks, there is a square of black.
"This is Nanyan's follow-up reinforcements. We bypassed Murong Yongduo's team and interspersed here. The people of Nanyan never expected us to be here... According to the information from the previous inquiries, although this Nanyan army has a large number of people, it is not there. The number of veterans is because the Nanyan army is advancing too fast, and Murong shame hastily organized follow-up reinforcements. It is also because Murong Yongduo rushed forward too fast that many cities were left behind without fighting. These Nanyan reinforcements It is responsible for cleaning up these cities."
He said a few words in a low voice, pointed to the camp and said, "Go down to the two groups of people and see if there are any secret sentries. If there are any, clear them out, and the general's troops will be able to come up in half an hour at most. If so Delayed tonight's camping, my head is not enough, let alone yours!"
His scouts responded, and the two teams were quietly leading people towards the camp.
About half an hour later, the leader of the scouts heard the noise and looked back, and found that the cavalry brigade had followed, so he immediately got up to meet him.
"General, everything has been cleaned up. Nanyan's reinforcements never expected that we would come here directly."
This person is exactly Chen Xiaoru.
"Um."
Fang Jie pulled the black scarf up from around his neck to cover his nose, pulled out the Zhaolu knife from behind, and then patted the white lion on the head: "People in the grassland say that you will appear wherever there is war, follow me It may be changed in the future... Wherever you go, there will be disasters of war."
He will stretch forward towards Ludao: "Step into the camp!"
As the horn blew, the cavalry behind the white lion began to speed up, only a distance of less than one and a half miles, which was almost the same as no distance at the speed of the light cavalry. If it wasn't for Fang Jie's deliberate control of the speed, the white lion would have thrown off the brigade and rushed into the Nanyan army camp.
Fang Jie urged the white lion to jump over the fence. When the white lion jumped in, crimson flames rose from the fence, and soon burned a hole in the wooden wall of the Nanyan army. The Black Banner Army Qingqi swept in like a stroke from the burnt gap, and then sent out the lit feather arrow in his hand, and soon the flames began to spread in the camp.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
It wasn't until the Black Banner Army broke in that Nanyan's army reacted. It's not that they are extremely weak, but because there is no way that there will be enemies in this area. The soldiers rushed out of the tent in a panic, not even having time to put on their leather armor. A soldier just got out of the tent, and the black shadow flashed in front of him, followed by blood spurting from his neck, and he fell limply without even seeing the light of the knife.
After the black flag army cavalry broke into the camp, they rushed straight forward. Amid the panicked shouts of the Nanyan soldiers, the cavalry took regiments as a unit, marched forward like rakes, and chopped down the fleeing Nanyan soldiers. The cavalry drove away the defeated soldiers of Nanyan soldiers, and then rushed to the camp behind.
In less than an hour, the Black Banner Army's fine cavalry killed the Nanyan army's battalion.
Fang Jie urged the white lion to rush to the middle of the camp, which is the dark place from a distance.
Here is a border town. I can't even light the torches, so I can imagine how miserable the city has become!
"Are there any living frontier soldiers in the city! I am Fang Jie, the imperial reinforcements general, and I will lead the army to rescue you!"
He raised his head and shouted loudly.
"have!"
A group of people immediately stood up on the city wall: "We are still here! As long as we don't die, the frontier army will never give up the frontier city!"
The voice is hoarse, but there is a clank sound!
Hearing these words, Fang Xie's heart was shaken!
