- Chapter 74: Winning the First Prize in Martial Arts (3)
This is a not very big military camp, and you can almost tell how many tents there are at a glance. After Fang Jie entered, he was at the back of the military camp. About three miles in front of the military camp is the earthen city that is designated as the battlefield today. This military camp is one of the teams led by three popular young heroes in the Yanwu Academy, but I don't know who it belongs to.
Because it was at the very back of the military camp, Fang Jie's luck was that there were only two soldiers guarding the small door in front of him.
"The unfortunate thing is that as soon as he entered the door, someone held a knife to his neck.
"Who are you!"
The soldier holding the knife asked coldly. Fang Jie could feel the other party's eyes staring coldly at his neck. Yes, not at his face, but at his neck. He was born in the border army of the Sui Dynasty and had a thorough understanding of the military laws of the Sui Dynasty. He knew that under the current circumstances, if he did anything unusual, the soldier would definitely cut him off with the knife without hesitation.
According to the military law of the Sui Dynasty, anyone who breaks into the military camp without permission can be killed by the soldiers on duty without even asking the general for instructions.
At that time, a young man in the imperial court who was a second-rank minister, because he was curious about what the city defense army camp in Chang'an City looked like, he took several servants and climbed over the wall. As a result, he was discovered by soldiers patrolling the camp just after he jumped in. Then he shouted loudly and ordered those people to kneel down immediately.
Not all the young masters of aristocratic families are shrewd and sophisticated, there will always be a few who are ignorant and incompetent. Unfortunately, Lord Shangshu's son falls into this category.
Ask him to kneel down, he doesn¡¯t even have the right.
So he yelled, hoping to scare the soldiers patrolling the camp. Who would have thought that after the other party shouted three times to kneel down with his head in his arms, he would shoot a hail of arrows at him without hesitation. Including the young master, four or five people were shot into hedgehogs.
This incident was abuzz in Chang'an City at that time, and was talked about in the streets and alleys. According to Fang Jie's understanding, this matter would definitely not make much sense on the surface. But those soldiers who shot the young master may soon disappear from people's sight. Generally, the handling of this kind of matter will never be made explicit. Perhaps in addition to comforting the Lord Shangshu, those in power would also make hypocritical criticisms.
If you pamper your children, you cannot escape the guilt of lax upbringing. If you go deeper, it can even be defined as contempt for the military laws of the Sui Dynasty.
But in the dark, those in power will inevitably kill a few people to give an explanation to the Master. After all, compared with a second-grade minister, the death of a few small soldiers is nothing.
In fact, things are not what Fang Jie guessed. Because Fang Jie has the inertial thinking of his previous life, it is easy to speculate in dark ways.
This is the Sui Dynasty, not Fang Jie¡¯s previous life.
The first thing that Mr. Shangshu did when he was suffering from the pain of losing his son was to give His Majesty a confession. Then he took off his crown and thought about his mistakes behind closed doors. The emperor issued a clear edict and issued a stern rebuke throughout the country, with only a few words of comfort at the end of the edict. Those soldiers who killed people were not punished at all.
Although, none of them were promoted as a result, and even after six or seven years, no one among them was promoted to even a low-level officer like Captain.
As for what kind of comfort His Majesty gave to the Master, no one will pay attention to it.
So the crisis that Fang Jie is facing now is how to use the shortest sentence to make the soldiers in front of him stop their murderous intentions. He said before that he was delivering food, but he could only stop the man's knife for a few seconds.
"Actually, I am a spy."
He said six words.
The soldier holding the knife was stunned for a moment, then looked back at his companions.
"Take him to see General Luo!"
The other soldier made the decision with almost no hesitation, which made Fang Jie feel a little relieved. The next thing he had to do was to think of a good excuse to get out before meeting that General Luo. He doesn't have Da Quan or Mu Xiao Yao around him now, and he also has a broken right arm.
He only had a rusty broken knife No, the knife was also confiscated.
Following the soldier, Fang Jie's mind began to work rapidly. He doesn't have time now to think about who he has offended to put himself in such a crisis. What he has to do is to find a way in the shortest time, and at least get out of here alive.
"Are you sent by Li Fubo or Yu Xiao?"
After walking a few steps, the soldier suddenly asked in a cold voice.
Fang Jie's mind suddenly lit up.
"When I meet General Luo, I will naturally tell you."
?He puffed up his chest and looked quite proud.
The soldier looked at Fang Jie for a few times and sneered: "You can pretend. If you really have the guts, you will immediately confess that you are a spy? And is the person who sent you here drunk? Why did he choose you like this? A cripple?"
Fang Jie was startled and looked at his arm subconsciously.
He raised his head and looked at the soldier and said seriously: "The reason why I immediately admitted my identity is because I have no hope of getting any information. Since I was discovered just after I entered your camp, it is better to admit it directly if I keep covering it up." If you want to be beaten or punished, please do as you please. As for why I didn¡¯t tell you who sent me, because you are not qualified to listen.¡±
This answer is very arrogant, even irritating.
But the soldier leading the way was not angry, and actually smiled and said: "We are all soldiers selected by the Youzhen Guard. Today we are just our own masters. Who will really beat you and punish you? If you fail, If you fail, the worst case scenario is that I¡¯ll lock you up and wait until it¡¯s over before releasing you.¡±
You Zhenwei
Fang Jie remembered this key word and quickly sorted out the information about the Sixth Army of the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty that he had specifically asked about before.
The general of Youzhenwei is Xu Xiaogong, and the general of Youzhenwei is Xie Ran.
"What happened to your arm?"
The soldier couldn't help but asked curiously.
Fang Jie was silent for a while and said seriously: "After receiving the order, he slipped out of our military camp, but was mistaken for a deserter by the people in the camp. When he was anxious to escape, he climbed over the wall and fell, and picked up a tree. "Zhu tore off a piece of clothing and tied it up."
"You are so unlucky!"
The soldier had to sigh: "You are also very stupid!"
¡¡
¡¡
Although the three young men participating in the competition today do not have formal military positions, the soldiers have nothing wrong with calling them generals. No matter who wins the championship among these three people, after leaving the Yanwu Academy, the three of them will have the official position of a fifth-grade general.
When Fang Jie first saw Luo Wen, who was known as General Xiao Luo, he felt that he was a person who couldn't laugh at all and didn't understand what was funny.
cold
As cold as ice.
Wearing a black suit and no armor, Luo Wen sat on a chair and glanced at Fang Jie who was being escorted in with indifferent eyes. This kind of indifference can also be understood as condescension. Just a look can declare a kind of estrangement and distance that you and he are definitely not from the same world.
He is not tall and burly, of average height. About 1.75 meters tall, neither fat nor thin, with perfect body proportions. The shoulders are broad, the waist is narrow, and the legs are long.
I have to say, this is a very handsome man.
??Sword eyebrows, bright eyes.
The corners are clear and there is no expression on the face. His eyes are big, his nose is high, and the beard on his chin is cleanly shaved. His whole person looks clean and tidy.
He just glanced at Fang Jie indifferently, then withdrew his gaze and stared at the map on the table again. It was a map of Tucheng, marked in great detail. He held a charcoal pencil in his hand, and many lines had been drawn on the map. Although they were still far apart, Fang Jie could see that every line on the map represented a denial of his own attack route.
"Just keep him in custody and let him go back on his own after it's over."
Luo Wen gave instructions lightly, without even raising his head to look at Fang Jie again.
Several soldiers at the door came over immediately and wanted to untie Fang.
"Don't tie me up."
Luo Wen waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to take Fang Jie away.
"Don't you ask me, who sent me?"
Fang Jie asked.
Luo Wen didn¡¯t answer, his attention still stayed on the map.
"Even if you don't want to know who sent me, don't you want to know how others prepare to attack?"
Fang Jie asked again.
Rowan still didn't raise his head, but said calmly: "You are such a useless pawn. It would be strange if you knew how your general planned the attack. Go out, I won't embarrass you, after all, you are the same The soldiers of You Zhenwei, General Xu Xiaogong, have assigned us not many men. If I take one of you away, I will have one less opponent, although the loss of you will have almost no impact on the situation of the battle. "
"have!"
Fang Jie took a slow breath and said: "You detain me, not because your opponent has lost one soldier, but because you have gained one more soldier, a very useful soldier."
? ?Finally, Wen couldn't help but raise his head and glanced at Fang Jie for the second time.
"Put it on."
Rowan shook his head slightly and said: "I know how eager you are to express yourself. Maybe you took the initiative to ask me to come to my place to find out the news. After being discovered, your opportunity to express yourself was cut off, so you are in front of me. That¡¯s how it looks.¡±
There was no sarcasm in the tone, but it was more hurtful than any sarcasm.
Several soldiers came up and were about to push Fang Jie down. Fang Jie smiled disdainfully and asked his last question that attracted Luo Wen's attention: "General, are you waiting for dark?"
This sentence made Luo Wen freeze in drawing the route on the drawing. He looked up at Fang Jie for the third time, and the meaning in his eyes had changed.
"what's your name?"
he asks.
"It does not matter."
Fang Jie broke away from a soldier who was trying to drag him out, smiled and said with a hint of disdain: "I'm not a spy, I'm just an unknown person who accidentally fell into someone else's scheme and got here. I just walked by. I took a look at the time and saw that there should be no more than 500 people in your military camp. I also took a distant look at the Tucheng. It doesn't take much. If there are more than 300 defenders in the Tucheng, you have 500 people. Even if you break up the enemy, you can't attack it, even if it's a night attack."
"The general is waiting for it to get dark, and the other two people must also be waiting for it to get dark. And the three of you should not only be waiting for it to get dark, but also waiting for others to make the first move. In such a siege competition, the third one will take action. Obviously, he has a huge advantage over the first one to take action. If it were me, I wouldn¡¯t be the first one to kill with my troops.¡±
After Fang Jie finished speaking, he looked at Luo Wen, waiting for his answer.
Rowan was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "I believe you."
"Why?"
Fang Jie was startled.
Luo Wen pointed at the dead branch tied to Fang Jie's right arm and said, "That's the dead branch of a plum tree. There are no plum trees in the martial arts arena. Even from here to the imperial capital, there are no plum trees on both sides of the official road." . You came from the city, so you must have been brought in by someone."
He paused and said: "No matter what injustice I suffered, since you have entered my camp and since you can see what I am waiting for, you should finish your thoughts honestly, otherwise ¡I don¡¯t mind killing you now.¡±
Luo Wen looked at Fang Jie and said seriously: "You are not a soldier of General Xu Xiaogong, maybe not even a soldier. You are just a thief who broke into the military camp without permission. If I want to, no one will blame me if I chop you into pieces." What."
"I am a soldier, and I know that the military laws of the Sui Dynasty are strict and solemn, so I know that you are not trying to scare me, general. The reason why I always want to arouse the general's idea is to do something for the general. Because only by helping you, you Only then will they help me. At the very least if no one is willing to go all the way with me, it will be difficult for me to do even something as simple as returning to the imperial capital. Since those who want to kill me can't kill me with a borrowed knife, they will have to do it themselves. Knife."
Rowan nodded, thought for a while and said: "I don't care who you offend, and I don't care if the person you offend is someone I can't afford to offend. But if you can figure out how to break the earth city, at least I can Get you into town safely."
"make a deal."
Fang Jie nodded and said, "It's enough to allow me to enter the city."
Rowan began to like the confidence in this young man's tone, even though this young man appeared a bit strange.
"If what you said is true, then I can only say that you are very smart. The person who wanted to harm you this time did not succeed, and with your wisdom, he may not succeed next time."
¡°When you are always in a crisis situation, don¡¯t dare to be stupid.¡±
Luo Wen didn't understand the meaning of this sentence carefully. He didn't know Fang Jie's life experience and naturally couldn't think of anything else. So he did not continue this topic, but briefly talked about the content of the competition, then pointed to the map that he had rejected countless attack plans and said: "Look at the map, if you can understand it."
Fang Jie shook his head: "There are two thousand defenders, and the general only has five hundred soldiers. Now is not the time to look at the picture, because no matter how you look at it, this battle cannot be won. To win the first prize I'm afraid Dean Zhou didn't think about it in the first place. Let one of you take away the top spot.¡±
At the viewing platform, Prince Yi Yang Yin rubbed his frown and asked Dean Zhou next to him: "Mr. Zhou, why haven't you seen any movement?"
Zhou Banchuan took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "We can't fight during the day, but maybe it's dark. This competition is limited to three days, there's no rush there's no rush."
Xu Xiaogong, the general of Youzhenwei who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but sighed: "In this battle, what will change?"Come to fight, I'm afraid I don't know how to start for a while. It's difficult to win the first place. "
"Winning the first prize?"
Dean Zhou smiled and said enigmatically: "Everyone has five hundred soldiers. Even if you go to fight, I can't win. If you want to win the first prize just dream."
"What do you mean?"
Yang Yin asked confused.
"There is only one way to break through Tucheng. Let's see who among the three of them can come up with it. Whoever comes up with it first will be ranked first!" - Didn't finish reading?
