Chapter 359 No reason
According to the rules, even if Fang Jie is an imperial envoy, he must dismount before entering the camp gate. Fang Jie didn't need to be reminded that he was from a military background. When he got to the door, he jumped off the red horse and walked into the camp. The guards on duty at the door were dressed differently from ordinary soldiers, and the red armor on their bodies was very eye-catching. Those on duty have the right to kill anyone who breaks into the camp without permission.
When Fang Jie entered the door, the guards on both sides neatly performed the Sui military salute. Fang Jie was startled, then stood upright, with his right arm spread across his chest in return.
This standard military salute surprised the soldiers on the left wing, and then they felt more favorable towards it. They have all heard about this young man's deeds. He made twenty-one military exploits in the border town in three years and then went to the imperial capital's martial arts academy to take the assessment. He got the second nine-door excellence in the more than 100 years since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, and was appreciated by the emperor. He became a role model for soldiers.
To be honest, every soldier will be curious about him. Everyone wanted to see what the legendary and stunning Master Xiao Fang looked like. When they saw Fang Jie for the first time, they were slightly disappointed, because Fang Jie seemed to be more delicate and handsome than the legend said. This is somewhat inconsistent with the soldiers' image of a qualified soldier. In their view, Master Xiaofang must be strong enough and tall enough.
But when they saw the standard military salute, these slight disappointments also disappeared.
This military salute represents that Fang Jie has not forgotten his roots.
After returning the courtesy, Fang Jie puffed up his chest and strode towards the general platform. General Luo Yao, who was wearing the imperial gold armor, stood on the general stage and did not come down to greet him. At this moment and in this place, he is the lowest and highest man. In front of his soldiers, he must maintain his absolute majesty.
Ye Jinnan took Fang Jie to the general stage, and Luo Yao asked Fang Jie to stand beside him.
"The man in front of you was once an ordinary soldier. The environment in Fangu where he lived was even harsher than that of Yongzhou. In three years of service in the army, he achieved 21 military exploits and beheaded dozens of bandits! Fan Guzhong It¡¯s so cold that even the sword can freeze in its scabbard, but his knife is always hot. Do you know why?¡±
Luo Yao spoke loudly to the tens of thousands of troops in the audience, and his voice spread to every corner.
"Because his blade is always filled with the enemy's blood!"
When these words were spoken, even Fang Jie couldn't help but feel a surge in his heart.
"Master Xiao Fang is willing to sacrifice his life for Da Sui, so he also gets what he deserves. Glory and status, most of you, like Master Xiao Fang, come from poor families. Envy or even jealousy in your heart will affect his fortune, but I want to tell you, envy and jealousy will not get you anything, unless you will only look at other people's glory like a coward!"
"Tell me, if you also have the opportunity to serve the country and become a person like Mr. Xiaofang, would you be willing?"
"willing!"
Tens of thousands of soldiers answered in unison, and the sound shook the sky.
"very good."
Luo Yao said loudly: "There is such an opportunity now. You should all know what is happening in the northwest. The thieves are messing with our borders, killing my people, and occupying my territory. As soldiers of the Sui Dynasty, it is time for you to use your strength. Raise your swords and let the thieves know what the power of the Sui army is! You are my soldiers, Luo Yao. My Luo Yao people will never flinch or retreat. When the Sui Dynasty needs you, you are the only one. One choice is to move forward!"
"The general is mighty! The left winger is mighty!"
"The general is mighty! The left winger is mighty!"
The shouts were neat and majestic, making people¡¯s blood boil.
"I have written to the imperial court requesting the Northern Expedition to annihilate the rebels, and you will go out with me. As the saying goes, it takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it takes a while to use it. I know that you have always been proud of being the left vanguard. Because each of you knows You are the most elite soldiers in the Sui Dynasty! At this time, if there are people who dare not face the enemies of the country and the bandits who are disturbing our country, then you can withdraw now!"
"Those who dare not go to the battlefield will automatically come out of the queue!"
No one moved, everyone still stood like nails, with firm eyes.
At this moment, Fang Jie would rather deny the doubts in his heart. He didn't want to believe that a person who could say these words would have a counter-intention, and he didn't want to believe that such a majestic and powerful army would have a counter-intention. Such an army can frighten the enemy as long as it is brought to the battlefield!
"I am a minister of His Majesty the Emperor, and I often regard myself as a loyal dog by His Majesty's side! The enemies of the Sui Dynasty and His Majesty's enemies are my enemies.Dai Tian! In order to prove my determination and your determination, I have requested to leave the Imperial Envoy on our left vanguard to fight with us in the battle against the enemy. "
As soon as Luo Yao said these words, there was a sudden silence.
Fang Jie's heart also tightened. He could imagine the soldiers' reactions without even looking. Since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, the emperor has rarely appointed generals to supervise the army. Regardless, this is a disservice to the soldiers. They would think that the emperor did not trust them or his generals.
So at this moment, Fang Jie took a step forward.
"I'm not here to watch you fight for the Sui Dynasty!"
His eyes slowly swept across the audience, and then he shouted loudly: "I am here to stay and fight with you! If someone sees me hiding behind others on the battlefield and trembles with fear, someone sees me holding a I hold my sword horizontally but don¡¯t dare to chop at the enemy¡¯s head. If someone sees me turning around and running away, any one of you can kill me on the spot!¡±
Fang Jie jumped down from the high platform, quickly walked to his red horse and turned over.
"Here comes the arrow!"
He shouted and then glanced at Luo Yao.
Luo Yao, who was standing on the general stage, was looking at him thoughtfully at this time.
A man in flying fish robe handed his hard bow and arrow pot to Fang Jie. Fang Jie hung the arrow pot on his waist, raised his hard bow and urged his horse to rush out.
¡¡
¡¡
On the school grounds, the young man took off his brocade clothes and threw them aside. The powerful outfit inside outlined his slender and muscular figure, and he looked particularly eye-catching while riding a red horse. He urged the horse forward. Although the red horse was fat, it was still ridiculously fast. In such a wild gallop, Fang Jie fired twelve arrows in succession. There were a total of twelve archery targets placed in a row on one side of the school grounds. Fang Jie, riding a horse, passed by at a distance of about forty steps from the target like a wind, and hit the bullseye with twelve consecutive arrows.
After twelve arrows, Fang Jie jumped down from the galloping red horse. The stability of the landing was shocking. He stepped back far and shot twelve more arrows at the target a hundred steps away. A hundred steps away, ten The two arrows still hit the bullseye!
After shooting twenty-four arrows, Fang Jie¡¯s breath was not confused at all. He strode back and threw the stiff bow to Fei Yupao, and then climbed onto the general stage again.
"Am I still qualified to fight alongside you?!"
After asking this question, there was silence in the room. After about ten seconds, someone started shouting: "Yes!"
Immediately afterwards, tens of thousands of elite soldiers from the left avant-garde shouted at the same time: "Yes!"
Fang Jie smiled and turned to look at Luo Yao: "General, do you think I am qualified to take orders under your command? To be honest, I also submitted a letter to the court yesterday. My humble position makes it difficult for me to be qualified to supervise the army. . But I am willing to stay in the left vanguard and borrow a force from you, General. It doesn¡¯t need to be many, just three to five hundred men. I would like to be the vanguard!¡±
These words were completely beyond Luo Yao's expectations, and his expression immediately changed.
Fang Jie¡¯s coping strategy made him suddenly realize that he had always underestimated this young man. This method of retreating into advancement threw the problem back to him. If Fang Jie agrees to serve as the supervisor, then the success or failure of the battle north will be closely related to him. If they win, the supervisor will at most get a few words of encouragement from the emperor. If they fail, the supervisors will be blamed!
"And if Luo Yao really planned to rebel while he was heading north, the supervisor would be charged with the same crime!
Fang Jie wrote a note and sent someone to Chang'an overnight to tell the truth about his concerns, and then expressed to the emperor that he was willing to stay in the left avant-garde, but he could not serve as a supervisor. In this way, he can not only watch how the left midfielder fights, but also put aside some unnecessary troubles. Of course, whether the left midfielder wins or loses, it has nothing to do with him.
He is just a first-class country boy who voluntarily stayed from the fifth rank of the Ranger General. He is not a supervisor appointed by the emperor, let alone an imperial envoy.
There is a huge difference between volunteering and being appointed by the emperor.
The biggest danger in this case is that Luo Yao didn't like him and deliberately sent him out to die when he went to the battlefield. But Fang Jie always felt in his heart that Luo Yao would not do this.
"Master Xiaofang is really a role model for soldiers, and Luo admires him!"
Luo Yao responded by clasping his fists, and his face had returned to calm.
He smiled and said: "Since Master Xiaofang has this intention, how can I not be as beautiful as a man? I will first transfer a Zhechong Battalion of 1,200 elite soldiers under Master Xiaofang, and before the imperial court's decree comes down, Master Xiaofang can stay in the army and get acquainted with your subordinates. I will leave the men of Zhechong Camp to you, but it is not without conditions."
"General, please speak."
??????????????????????????????Tao.
Luo Yao said: "Lord Xiaofang also knows that even if the soldiers on my left vanguard are not trained by me personally, they are trained by my most trusted subordinates. They dare not disrespect them if they randomly select troops from anyone's camp. But I will definitely feel uncomfortable.¡±
Fang Jie smiled and asked, "General, are you afraid that I will destroy your troops?"
"Of course not."
Luo Yao smiled and said: "I know that Mr. Xiaofang is the number one in the martial arts academy, and he is also the master of military tactics. But the soldiers assigned to you may not know that Mr. Xiaofang's cavalry and archery are convincing enough, but after all, you did not bring any weapons with you. Pass the troops."
"Anyway, there is still a while before the decree of the imperial court comes down. It is better to let Mr. Xiaofang lead the troops to train for a month, and then have a trial with a Zhechong camp led by the humble position. If Mr. Xiaofang wins, the soldiers will naturally be convinced."
Ye Jinnan took a step forward, lowered his head and said.
"oh?"
Luo Yao nodded: "This method is good and can convince the public. Lord Xiaofang what do you think?"
"OK"
"Then please tell me, General, what is the comparison?"
Luo Yao smiled and said: "Marching formation. You can't tell the difference between the two. So it is better to fight directly. A month later I will plant a big flag in the bamboo forest a hundred miles south of the city. Mr. Fang and Ye Jinnan each bring a man from the camp to seize the flag, and the one who captures the flag wins. Of course, I don¡¯t care how you stop your opponent halfway, except that you don¡¯t really hurt your life.¡±
"It's a deal!"
Fang Jie cupped his fists and turned around to get off the platform.
After Fang Jie left, Ye Jinnan couldn't help but ask: "General, my subordinates still don't understand why we are competing in this competition."
Luo Yao looked at Fang Jie's back, smiled and said: "He is arrogant, and my people are also arrogant. I guessed that he was unwilling to stay as a supervisor, so I planned to allocate a team Give him the men and horses, but he will be doubtful if you give it to him for free, and the soldiers will not be convinced. It's okay, let him lead it for a while, and there will be no complaints even if he loses to your soldiers."
"General, why do you value Master Xiaofang so much?"
Ye Jinnan really couldn't hold back his curiosity. After asking, he felt something was wrong and immediately lowered his head.
"Becausethere is no reason"
Luo Yao replied calmly and said nothing more.
Ye Jinnan looked at Luo Yao's leaving figure, feeling a very complicated feeling in his heart but couldn't find a clue. Isn't the General too kind to Lord Xiaofang? It was so good that Ye Jinnan had never seen it in all these years. So he was confused and even surprised, but he couldn't find the answer and didn't dare to ask for the answer.
