    Chapter 363: I¡¯ll scare you

    Fang Jie killed less than half of Shanzi Camp's brigade-level officers overnight, but instead of selecting replacements from among the people he brought, he unprecedentedly asked all soldiers to vote for the three vacant captains.  Five brigades were selected from ordinary soldiers, and those with the most votes filled the vacancies.

    ¡°Furthermore, Fang Jie did not specify the candidates first, and it was entirely up to the soldiers themselves to fill in the eight names on the white paper that was handed out.

    Before handing out the blank paper, Fang Jie only said a few words.

    "The people you want to choose can be your close friends, or of course they may be people you don't like. Because the names in each of your hearts are different, I only ask you to obey one thing you  Be sure that the person you choose can give you a greater chance of surviving, even for a little longer, when he takes you to the battlefield. If he can do it, then he is the right person."

    Then Fang Jie asked people to pass out the white paper, and after collecting it, he asked Feiyu Pao to write down all the nominees on a large wooden board, and then select them according to the number of votes they received.  Because the candidates were not determined in advance, more than 100 candidates were nominated by 1,200 soldiers, and a long list of names was written on the board.

    Fang Jie sat on the high platform and did not ask any questions from beginning to end.

    The person responsible for maintaining order is Chen Bishan. This auxiliary military captain seems to have changed since he was appreciated by Fang Jie. He is very disciplined and serious in his work.  In the past, he was the most looked down upon among the five captains of the Shanzi Camp. In the eyes of the soldiers, his martial arts skills were not outstanding and his abilities were average. Otherwise, how could he be an auxiliary military captain and do nothing all day long?

    But in the past two days, Chen Bishan has made people look at him with admiration.

    When Fang Jie killed people the night before yesterday, he and his people stood by Fang Jie's side with a firm attitude.

    Many people are wondering whether he got any benefits from Fang Jie and was bribed by Fang Jie.  But they no longer dare to discuss this kind of thing and can only think about it in their hearts.  However, they did wrongly accuse Chen Bishan. Chen Bishan was willing to work for Fang Jie without getting a single copper coin.

    Chen Xiaoru looked at Chen Bishan who was busy below, leaned over and asked Fang Jie: "Sir, how do you know that this person can definitely be of use to you?"

    Fang Jie smiled: "Never underestimate a man's ambition and unwillingness. Lei Hu died because of his unwillingness, and Chen Bishan was used by me because of his unwillingness. The reason is the same."

    Fang Jie said: "On the first day, I asked you to check the situation of these five captains. He is the most excluded one. He has been working in Shanzi Camp for seven or eight years, and he is just a brigade captain in Leihu.  He was already the auxiliary captain of Shanziying when he was the commander. A few years later, Lei Hu became the captain of Shanziying. He was still an auxiliary captain He watched many people get promoted.  , will my heart be at peace?"

    "Back then, he was also a military captain, and he was promoted by accumulating military merit. But later he was injured and his body was not as good as before, so he was transferred to the Shanzi Camp to lead a group of handymen. But the more people like this feel,  The unwillingness becomes stronger. Over the years in Shanzi Camp, he has watched his juniors climb up one by one. It would be strange if his heart is as still as water. "

    "So there is no need to spend money to buy such a person, you only need to give him a promise."

    Chen Xiaoru sincerely praised: "Your Excellency is so accurate in judging people."

    Fang Jie shook his head: "Chen Banshan is actually quite frustrated. If it weren't for the fact that his body was seriously injured and it would be difficult to recover to his original cultivation level, he would be a fifth-grade general at worst now. There are so many people in Shanzi Camp.  They have been changed one after another, but he is the only one who has not changed. The people who understood what he went through are almost gone, and now people regard him as a waste who is waiting to die. As long as a man still has blood, this kind of thing will never be tolerated.  No."

    Chen Xiaoru nodded, feeling more and more admired by Fang Jie.  The wisdom displayed by this young man is shocking.  When he was investigating Prince Yi's case in the capital, he felt that Fang Jie was a great person. After following Fang Jie for a long time, he felt more and more that this young man would become a great person sooner or later.

    At this time, Chen Pianshan came up and clasped his fists and said: "General, the candidate has been chosen."

    Fang Jie nodded: "You should give out the uniforms of the brigade commander and the captain. Logically speaking, the captain should never be selected like this. Insufficient military merit is the weakness of these soldiers. I have already asked General Luo for instructions, and it can be regarded as  The general is extremely accommodating But you have to look at them and don't forget about yourself just because you are successful. You are the most mature in the entire Shanzi Camp and have seen the most things. You must have experienced their mentality at the beginning.  So it¡¯s easier to persuade.¡±

    Chen Bishan bowed his head and said: "My subordinates will definitely live up to the general's instructions."

    Fang Jie hummed and said, "I have something else for you."

    He waved, a flying fish robe with both hands.He came over holding a wooden plate.  Fang Jie took the wooden plate and then reached out to lift off the red cloth covering the wooden plate.  In the wooden tray is a brand new military uniform of the sixth-grade Lieutenant Zhechong.  Next to it is a small seal, which is the captain's seal.

    Chen Bishan¡¯s expression changed, his eyes filled with disbelief.

    "I said that those who are sincere for me, I will repay with my sincerity. This is what I asked for from the general. From now on, you will be the captain of Shanzi Camp. After I leave Zhechong Camp, this team of more than a thousand people will be handed over to me.  You. This suit should have been yours many years ago, and it is a somewhat belated reward from the general."

    Fang Jie handed the wooden plate to Chen Bishan, whose eyes were already red: "General"

    He was actually a little unable to speak, and he saw tears overflowing from his eye sockets.

    "You don't have to think that this is a gift from me, because this is what you deserve. Take Shanziying well, you may not be able to wear this clothes for long When we get to the battlefield, as long as we promise to be of the same mind, right?  Are you still worried about your lack of military exploits? It won¡¯t take long before you can change into the robes of a fifth-grade general.¡±

    ¡°Senior¡­ I would like to thank you, General!¡±

    Chen Bishan was a little at a loss, and his hands were shaking as he took the wooden plate.

    After he was injured many years ago, he became an auxiliary military captain. He thought that this would be the end of his life.  Who would have thought that Fang Jiecai had been in Shanziying for just twenty days and had changed into an official uniform for him.

    "Do your duty well, and I will give you whatever I can give you. No matter whether a person's ability is high or low, there is one thing that must be done all the time that is to be kind to one's relatives and friends, and I treat them sincerely.  , I will be able to repay you sincerely. Go ahead and bring the eight newly selected officers to see me."

    Chen Qianshan stood solemnly and solemnly performed a military salute.

    "Here!"

    The General¡¯s Mansion

    Three-story stilt building

    Luo Yao sat back on a chair covered with white tiger skin and stared at the waterfowl in the small lake outside the window in a daze.  He had been sitting like this for more than half an hour, not knowing what he saw in his eyes.  Those waterfowl were in front of him, but they seemed not to be in his eyes at all.

    "Sir Xiaofang is messing around like this, and the other generals have some complaints."

    Ye Jinnan glanced at Luo Yao and spoke in a very soft voice.

    "Killing three captains and five brigade leaders just twenty days after arriving at Shanzi Camp is indeed a bit excessive. Some people say that those who were killed were killed because they thought they were self-righteous and tested Lord Xiaofang's bottom line. And.  Lord Xiaofang's move may not be without the intention of testing your bottom line, General."

    "Who said this?"

    Luo Yao asked lightly.

    Ye Jinnan shook his head: "It's just some rumors I don't know who said it."

    "You know you won't say it."

    Luo Yao looked back at Ye Jinnan and said in a calm tone: "You are a good person. You would rather get scolded yourself than drag others with you. So you are very popular in the military, and they are willing to do anything.  Tell you. And they know that you come to my study most often, so they deliberately say something for you to let me know But you tell them, if you have anything in the future, just come to me directly and don't talk behind my back.  Let me know and take military action.¡±

    "Here"

    Ye Jinnan responded.

    "He has been training recently, can you tell what his tricks are?"

    Luo Yao asked.

    Ye Jinnan was silent for a while and said: "It is said that Mr. Xiaofang has mobilized one hundred and fifty elites to train himself. The training is not allowed to be revealed. However, judging from the number of people he recruited and the number of horses in the Shanzi Camp, he should be  I want a large group of people to stop me along the way, and then he will lead the elite horsemen of 150 people to seize the bamboo forest flag."

    "Maybe there are other ideas."

    Luo Yao smiled: "Maybe he plans to directly attack your team."

    Ye Jinnan shook his head: "Because my subordinates are not familiar with Master Xiaofang's military skills, there is no way to guess. However, whether it is a surprise attack or used as a suspect, there are only a few changes under the constraints of terrain and time.  I should be able to handle it."

    "Ha ha"

    Luo Yao smiled and said: "You are old and mature, but you never lack confidence."

    "No matter what the people below say, don't worry about it. In the competition in a few days, you can fight how you want. If he wins, the discussion of the people below should stop. It's just a discount camp. If he wants to play, just  Let him play."

    Ye Jinnan was startled and glanced at Luo Yao subconsciously.

    Luo Yao smiled, as if he didn¡¯t want to continue talking about this: "BeijingThe news coming from here said that the emperor's decree was to mobilize 100,000 troops from the left vanguard to march northward, instead of asking me to lead the troops to the northwest.  What do you think about this matter?  "

    Ye Jinnan's expression changed: "Transferred? This is not good!"

    "It's not good."

    Luo Yao said in a calm tone: "So I was thinking whether it was disrespectful to resist the decree once. First, move one hundred thousand troops from the left forward guard. If I agree, it won't be long before the emperor will use the excuse of the tight war situation to mobilize another hundred thousand troops from the left forward guard.  One hundred thousand troops can be transferred at a time, and all my troops can only be transferred four times."

    "However, once you disobey the order, you will be punished."

    Ye Jinnan frowned.

    "It doesn't matter"

    Luo Yao waved his hand: "When have I ever been afraid that the so-called clues will be known to others? Over the years, whether they are instructed by the emperor or sent by other courtiers themselves, the total number of people who come to Yongzhou to investigate me has been reduced. Since then.  This is especially true since His Majesty ascended the throne. Why am I too lazy to kill any of them? Because as long as the left guard is still my soldier, the emperor will just let him have some troubles. "

    "The general really wants to resist the decree? His subordinates are still worried about being criticized."

    Ye Jinnan asked.

    "Of course you can't openly resist the decree, face must be saved for the emperor."

    Luo Yao smiled and said: "But if I don't receive the decree, who can say anything? Counting the days, the imperial envoy who came to the capital to announce the decree will still have to go for half a month, so let the local officials along the way delay it.  Ten days may not come yet. After your duel with Fang Jie, I will march north with all my troops. If the people who announce the decree cannot see me when they arrive at Yongzhou, can they catch up and let me take them back? "

    "But¡­¡­"

    Ye Jinnan worriedly asked: "Do we really want to use all our troops to fight the rebels? Then the strength of our left midfielder will inevitably be damaged."

    "Huangyang Road is a good place."

    Luo Yao smiled: "It is next to the Northwest Third Road and separated by a river. After arriving at Huangyang Road, the food and grass supplies will naturally be provided locally. As long as I put my troops there, I will be scared whether I fight the rebels or not. Why?  Do we have to fight? It¡¯s already a great achievement to disperse the rebels¡¯ forces.¡±

    Ye Jinnan's eyes lit up: "I understand!"

    "You think, who will stay in Yongzhou?"

    Luo Yao asked.

    Ye Jinnan was silent for a while and then asked tentatively: "Young General?"

    Luo Yao frowned slightly: "Zixu no!"

    "But, after all, you are the Major General"

    Before he could finish his words, Luo Yao waved his hand and interrupted: "Go back first and prepare yourself for the competition with Fang Jie. Don't underestimate him, he might scare your boss."
