Fang Jie disrupted the organizational structure of Shanziying, which made Lei Hu and others even more dissatisfied. Of the 1,200 soldiers, Fang Jie selected fifty personal soldiers, twenty archers with good shooting skills, and eighty swordsmen to form a separate brigade, which he personally trained and led. Appointing a school lieutenant as his deputy is equivalent to taking out all the most elite troops in the Shanzi Battalion. The most direct adverse reaction is that the original brigade leader's soldiers are no longer full.
Fang Jie also ignored the private discussions of dissatisfaction among the captains and brigade leaders, and did not even give an explanation. The officers who were already resistant to him were even more indignant, but no one showed it openly due to the strict military discipline of the left avant-garde. Lei Hu was also responsible for the daily training of Shanzi Camp. He himself pulled the team of 150 people out for training every day.
Lei Hu asked the soldiers privately, and the soldiers told him that Fang Jie's training was very different from the past.
In addition to training these 150 soldiers, Fang Jie would take time every day to supervise Lei Hu and his troops. But he said nothing and never interfered. As a result, ten days later, the officers, including Lei Hu, became even more incomprehensible to Fang Jie. In twenty days, there will be a competition with a battalion of soldiers and horses led by Ye Jinnan himself, but it seems that Fang Jie doesn't care at all.
You must know that Ye Jinnan is the one who is highly appreciated by Luo Yao among the left vanguard. The Sixth Army led by him is the most powerful one among the thirty armies. In terms of military strategy, Ye Jinnan is the best among all generals. In terms of personal cultivation, he is also an outstanding one. When the soldiers discussed privately, they called the ten most powerful men under Luo Yao the Luomen Ten Heroes, and among the Luomen Ten Heroes, Ye Jinnan ranked third.
Because Fang Jie did not interfere in the training of other soldiers, Lei Hu felt that this little Lord Fang was just a vain person. If he had real talent and learning, how could he let it go?
And the few brigade leaders who were transferred with the largest number of people became more and more unscrupulous in their private discussions. On the twentieth day, Fang Jie raised his account and some people even excused themselves from having a meal due to physical discomfort. Fang Jie just smiled and still did not pursue the matter. This made the officers even more arrogant. At first, no one dared to directly oppose Fang Jie because they were afraid of military discipline. By this time, they felt that Fang Jie was just a person in name only, so they began to test Fang Jie's bottom line.
When the officers discussed with Lei Hu privately, they all said that Lei Hu should take away Fang Jie's rights. Anyway, he doesn't care about the soldiers' drills, so it's better to just let him have nothing to do. Although these officers may not always be of the same mind as Lei Hu, when they have common opposition, they work together.
Lei Hu didn¡¯t dare to do this, even though he wanted to.
Regardless of Fang Jie¡¯s status as an imperial envoy, he was still a popular figure in front of the emperor. If you offend this person badly, it is very likely to cause unnecessary trouble. Keren are a very strange kind of creatures. They know that there are some things they cannot touch but they still can't help it. Lei Hu didn't dare to say that he would exclude Fang Jie, but he wanted to test Fang Jie's bottom line. He said he didn't want to sideline Fang Jie, but he also hoped to take the command of Shanzi Camp back into his own hands.
Being unwilling to give in, his attitude slowly changed.
On the 20th day, two brigade leaders from Fang Jie's account did not arrive because they were sick. Instead of punishing them, Fang Jie said a few words of care and specifically ordered military doctors to treat them without asking them carefully. At night, Lei Hu and several of his officers got together and agreed that Fang Jie was just a strong-willed guy.
With this first time, Lei Hu became more courageous.
"You can try it again if you find a chance."
A brigade leader lowered his voice and said: "On the first day, he seemed to have some skills, but in the past twenty days, he only stared at the one hundred and fifty soldiers every day and ignored us at all. It shows that this person also Some self-awareness. Although he is appreciated by His Majesty and is the first in the martial arts academy, he has never led an army! Why did he choose 150 people to lead himself? Because he knew that he could not lead 1,500 people. team! When he was in Fan Gu, he was just a deputy of the scout team, and he didn¡¯t have many people Just because he knew he didn¡¯t have the ability, he deliberately pretended to be strict at the beginning but actually didn¡¯t dare to offend us. "
Lei Hu thought for a while and said: "After a few days, if he mobilizes troops you guys try to contradict him deliberately. If he still doesn't have any sanctions, we don't have to worry about anything. He is just a general in the name of a general. It¡¯s nothing more than trash, I will have the final say in this camp from now on.¡±
"The captain is right."
A brigade leader said: "Fang Jie is bluffing. Think about it, a deputy of the scout team suddenly has 1,500 people in his hands. Isn't he panic? It is because of fear that he will leave us alone."
¡°There are only ten days until the competition.¡±
Lei Hu sneered and said: "You are kidding me if you want to win against General Ye. He ignored the training for twenty days and only led the one hundred and fifty people to do nothing."
"By the way, Lieutenant, have you asked me again these days, what exactly are those 150 people training for? I asked Lao Chen, and he told me at first, but later he actually said what Fang Jie's military order was. No one is allowed to leak it, but he still pretends to me Damn, I don¡¯t know what benefits Fang Jie has given him. It seems that he is no longer on the same page with us. When he mentioned Fang Jie, he looked full of admiration. "
"Old Chen must have been bribed by Fang Jie."
Old Chen is the captain selected by Fang Jie to lead the team. His name is Chen Bishan. He is the lowest-status among the five captains of Shanziying. Shanziying has four combat commanders and one auxiliary commander. Chen Bishan was the auxiliary captain who was in charge of two hundred auxiliary soldiers and one hundred horsemen and miscellaneous servants. His status was originally lower than that of other captains. Normally, other people don't think highly of him.
But who knew that Fang Jie would instead single him out as the leader of the one hundred elite men? This made the other four captains very unconvinced. Those were one hundred of the most elite soldiers, and to be led by an auxiliary captain was simply a waste of those soldiers.
"Leave him alone"
Lei Hu waved his hand: "So what if Lao Chen is bribed by him? What use can an auxiliary military school captain do!"
"so¡¡"
He lowered his voice and said to several of his subordinates: "Gather the soldiers out for training early tomorrow morning without telling Fang Jie. Let's see how he reacts. If he still doesn't care, then we won't have any worries in the future."
"good!"
Everyone responded, chatted for a while and then went back to sleep.
¡¡
¡¡
After Lei Hu waited for everyone to leave, he sat by himself for a while, carefully recalling what Fang Jie had done in the past twenty days, and became more and more certain that this world-famous Lord Xiao Fang was just a person with a false reputation. , because Fang Jie had never led troops before, so he did not dare to lead troops. The strength he showed on the first day was just a bluff.
When he was really sleepy, he got into bed and rested. But it seemed that not long after he fell asleep, he was awakened by the sound of a loud gong. After so many years of training, he subconsciously turned over and sat up, and immediately touched the weapon next to him: "What's going on?!"
The soldier on duty outside the tent quickly replied: "Back to the captain, my subordinates don't know what's going on. The messenger rang the gong and said it was General Fang who ordered an emergency gathering."
¡°What time is it?¡±
He asked, rubbing his eyes.
"It's only when you're ugly"
"When you are ugly?"
Lei Hu was startled, then cursed in a low voice.
He reluctantly got up and asked his soldiers to help him put on his armor. After taking a look at the long spear on the weapons rack, I decided not to bring it with me after thinking about it. When he walked out of the tent, most of the soldiers were already dressed and assembled. However, some of the brigade commanders and captains leading the team had not yet gotten up.
He yawned, rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked forward. After walking a few steps, he saw a torch-lit place in front of him. Fang Jie, dressed in black, was standing there under the protection of a group of flying fish robes. Seeing those murderous flying fish robes, he shuddered in his heart and had a vague premonition.
Lei Hu quickened his pace and saluted in front of Fang Jie: "General, what happened during the overnight gathering?"
Fang Jie glanced at him and said calmly: "You will know later."
Lei Hu¡¯s heart tightened. He took a few steps back and stood to one side, peeking at Fang Jie¡¯s expression from time to time. Under the light of the torch, the handsome young general stood with his hands behind his back, his face solemn. Behind him, the black boy held a sword in his hand, while the tall man named Nie Xiaoju held the general's flag. Forty-eight flying fish robes were separated into two rows, their hands pressing the handles of horizontal swords beside their waists.
He kept wondering in his mind what happened. At this moment, the gong rang for the second time, and Fang Jie said in a calm tone: "Chen Xiaoru, take people to count the number of people. Chen Bishan, take your people to inspect, and all those who came late will wait outside the array. !¡±
The auxiliary army captain Chen Bishan snarled and walked out quickly with the one hundred soldiers.
Not long after, there was a sound of cursing in the distance. The few captains who were late were blocked by Chen Banshan's people and started a conflict, cursing and trying to break in.
"Report"
After a while, Chen Xiaoru came back with his men and reported: "General, there are 1,200 soldiers, actually 1,168, and 300 auxiliary soldiers, actually 297. The brigade was led by twelve, and there were actually seven people. The captainFive, actually two people. "
Although there was a hasty gathering in the middle of the night, most people arrived.
"Chen Banshan, bring all those who are late."
Fang Jie ordered with a cold tone.
Chen Bishan agreed loudly, and led his soldiers to bring over all the officers and soldiers who were late. Dozens of people were still making a fuss at first, but no one dared to make any more noise after seeing Fang Jie's unkind expression.
"In the military code of the Sui Dynasty, if the gong fails to ring after two rings, what should be done?"
Fang explained the question.
Chen Xiaoru replied loudly: "Twenty sticks, double for officers."
"Flying fish robe!"
"exist!"
Forty-eight flying fish robes agreed loudly.
"According to military law, soldiers will be punished with twenty sticks, and those above the rank of team mate will be punished with forty sticks! No mercy, no matter how hard you beat them to death!"
Fang Jie gave a cold command, which immediately made those people take a breath of cold air.
Those captains and brigade commanders who were late were immediately frightened to the point of weakening their legs. They all knew what forty military sticks meant. That is by no means a simple number. If the executioner is not merciful, there is no suspense in killing a person with forty army sticks. And the executioner was not someone from Shanziying, but the Feiyupao beside Fang Jie. How could those guys be merciful when they started to attack?
"General I am not feeling well. I had already asked for leave at midnight yesterday. Please forgive me, General"
A school captain shouted loudly, looking at Lei Hu from time to time.
Lei Hu¡¯s face turned pale and he opened his mouth but did not dare to say anything. Fang Jie's eyes were so cold that he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave and his body and mind were frozen. He wanted to plead for mercy for his men, but he didn't dare to look at the knife-like eyes again.
"I remember I said that"
Fang Jie raised his chin slightly and said word by word: "I will start to trust you when I get to Shanzi Camp, trust you unconditionally. But you have disappointed me so much You said you were unwell, but whose house were you in last night? Did you stay in the tent until midnight? How much did you drink? You are not feeling well enough to have a good time drinking until midnight? Don¡¯t blame me, it was you who made me throw away your trust.¡±
"How should we deal with someone who deceives the general, fails to order his mao, drinks alcohol at night, forms a clique and engages in private affairs according to the military laws of the Sui Dynasty?"
"If you deceive the general, you will be punished with twenty with the staff. If you fail to do so, you will be punished with twenty with the staff of withdrawal! If you drink alcohol at night, you will be punished with fifteen with the staff of withdrawal. If you form a clique for personal gainkill with the staff!"
Chen Xiaoru replied loudly.
"Then beat him to death."
Fang Jie waved his hand: "Those who plead for mercy are guilty of the same crime!"
"Here!"
Those flying fish robes immediately pounced on them, like wolves and tigers!
