Fang Jie returned to his tent and took a comfortable hot bath. It took three times to change the water before the blood on his body was washed away. The soldiers made a circle with cloth, and Fang Jie stood naked inside. Several soldiers stood on stools with buckets to wash him, and the ground was soon stained red.
When they saw that Fang Jie didn¡¯t have any injuries on his body, the soldiers looked in disbelief.
Among the thousands of troops, they were rushing back and forth to kill.
It¡¯s incredible that I didn¡¯t win.
Fang Jie took a shower and changed into dry clothes, feeling relaxed all over his body. When he walked back to the tent, he saw Chen Banshan kneeling outside, his head hung low.
"What is this for?"
Fang Jie asked in confusion.
Chen Bishan raised his head and glanced at Fang Jie, then quickly lowered his head: "My subordinates failed to rescue me well. Please punish me, General!"
Fang Jie couldn't help but smile, and stretched out his hand to pull Chen Banshan up: "Most of the ships on the south bank were destroyed by the rebels, and the rest were pierced by the Huangyang Dao soldiers. It's not like I didn't know. You should run to ask for instructions first. Liu Kuo then ran to beg General Wen and knelt down outside General Wen's tent for a moment while burning incense. You have done everything within the military regulations of the Sui Dynasty. How can I blame you? "
"This is what I regret most!"
Chen Bishan raised his head with a look of shame on his face: "My subordinates should not have begged that person at that time. They should have immediately summoned the Shanzi Battalion to the nearby villages to collect fishing boats to cross the river. Time was wasted on my subordinates. If anything happened to the general, , I will not be able to escape the blame for my subordinates¡¯ death.¡±
"fine"
Fang Jie waved his hand, opened the curtain and walked into the big tent: "You don't have to worry about this matter. Logically speaking, we are trapped on the north bank, and it is not worth mobilizing an army for rescue. In order to save a dozen people, it is necessary to The loss of hundreds or even thousands of well-trained soldiers is a bit of a loss after all. General Wen¡¯s considerations are not unreasonable, so why should I blame you if I don¡¯t even blame him?¡±
He sat down on the chair and took a sip of tea: "As a general, the first thing you have to do is to assess the situation. Forcibly crossing the Huangniu River without the cooperation of warships, and tens of thousands of rebels have gathered on the other side, this situation If we rush to send troops, we will suffer heavy losses. Even I did not expect that the general would send people across the river to respond. We were prepared to die in battle when we were on the other side. It was just luck that we caught up with the naval patrol"
"General"
Chen Bishan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
"Go ahead"
Fang Jie smiled and said: "Let's organize ourselves. The army is crossing the river. Now seven or eight pontoons have been built. With the cooperation of the navy, it is not difficult to occupy a place on the north bank of the Huangniu River. The rebels have retreated, and we have mountain characters. It¡¯s time for the cavalry of the battalion to pass. You go and prepare first. I¡¯ll take care of some things later and keep an eye on them.¡±
"Here"
Chen Bishan rubbed his red eyes, turned around and strode out. The more Fang Jie didn't blame him, the stronger the guilt in his heart. He really regretted that he did not dare to touch military discipline. If something like this happened again, he would never run to ask for Wen Xiaodao again, but would immediately lead Shanziying to find a way to cross the river.
Fang Jie looked at Chen Bishan's back, smiled and shook his head.
As soon as he got up and sat on the bed to take a rest, someone opened the curtain of the tent from the outside. Fang Jie looked sideways and saw that it was Luo Yao who walked in.
"I have seen a great general in my humble position!"
He stood up and saluted with clasped fists.
Luo Yao hummed, looked at Fang Jie carefully, then pointed to the bed: "Sit down."
He walked behind the desk and sat down, waving his hand to let all the entourage leave. Neither of them spoke anymore, and the scene was a bit dull.
Luo Yao was silent for a while and then asked with a chilly tone: "Since we discovered the danger on the north bank, why didn't we retreat immediately? Your people can't retreat, but there is no problem for you to come back on your own. At this time, Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s idiotic to even think about protecting everyone?¡±
Fang Jie shrugged his shoulders: "I never thought about it."
"A qualified general must know how to make sacrifices when necessary."
Luo Yao said coldly: "You have too much womanly kindness in your temper, which is not good. For those dozen of your men, if you even throw your own life there, is it worth it? I will have people cross the river to investigate The mission of detecting the enemy's situation is entrusted to you, and you are not asked to go there by yourself. If you do everything yourself, then what are you doing as a general and a soldier? "
¡°You have to get familiar with it.¡±
Fang explained: "It is precisely because I don't want to encounter any difficulties in the future that I will do it myself."??Go and have a look. It¡¯s better not to mention things that are already in the past. I am quite measured in what I do and know what I can and cannot give up. "
¡°You don¡¯t want to listen to me?!¡±
Luo Yao asked with a frown.
Fang Jie shook his head: "I just don't want to get entangled in what has already happened."
"You don't regret it?"
Luo Yao asked.
Fang Jie smiled: "I have never regretted anything I have done since I was a child, even if it was a mistake. I just remember that I made a mistake and don't do that again next time, but don't expect me to regret it because of my mistake. Being so upset that you can't sleep is the most meaningless thing, just like going to a brothel to sleep with a prostitute because you fucked her up too quickly, and you couldn't sleep for three days and three nights after you came back, feeling embarrassed. So damn pretentious.¡±
Luo Yao was startled and suddenly smiled: "That's a good statement."
Fang Jie lay back and didn't care whether he was rude or not: "Is the general here to reprimand me for this?"
"I am your father."
Luo Yao said seriously: "When my son is wrong, he must say it."
"Thanks"
Fang Jie¡¯s face was expressionless: ¡°Just remember to repay me later.¡±
Luo Yao's expression was suffocated. After being silent for a while, he stood up and walked out: "You have a good rest. In addition, your Shanzi camp should not cross the river and rest on the south bank. I have asked Chen Bishan to take Shanzi camp back. When will you be mobilized? Wait for my military order."
"Why!"
Fang Jie sat up suddenly and asked angrily.
Luo Yao stopped, pointed at himself and said: "I am the general of the left vanguard, and I am your father!"
Fang Jie opened his mouth, unable to argue.
¡¡
¡¡
Fang Jie was a little idle for the next few days. There was nothing to do except deal with Wanyan Yunshu's various weird problems every day. Luo Yao mobilized 50,000 troops to camp on the other side of the river, echoing the Nan'an camp on the other side. Nine pontoons were laid on the river so that people on the north bank could retreat at any time. Fang Jie knew that Luo Yao still had no intention of fighting the rebels, otherwise he would not have sent Liu Kuo to lead the 300 Jingbu battalion across the river for rescue.
Therefore, Fang Jie had a deeper understanding of Luo Yao's ruthlessness.
His son was trapped on the North Shore, and he could still be so calm. If the navy hadn't arrived at the right time and Luo Yao had no choice but to do so, those 50,000 people would not have crossed the river. Once the left avant-garde crosses the river, the rebels, whether Luo Yao or others, will have no way out and will have to fight.
During the day, he had nothing to do with Shanzi Camp for training, but Fang Jie focused on training on horseback shooting. When it comes to archery, the warriors are no strangers. But shooting arrows on horseback and shooting arrows while standing on the ground are completely different. If a light cavalry is not skilled in riding and archery, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry will be less than half.
Meng Yuan¡¯s cavalry was not only as fast as the wind, but what they were best at was sending arrows into the enemy¡¯s chest while running rapidly.
With Fang Jie¡¯s great display on the north bank a few days ago, the soldiers of Shanzi Camp respected him even more. Now the soldiers in the Shanzi Camp looked at Fang Jie with respect from the bottom of their hearts. Those who are respected on the battlefield are strong ones, and Fang Jie, who fought in and out of tens of thousands of enemy troops, did not suffer any injuries. Isn't this the embodiment of being strong?
He stood on a high slope watching the training at Shanzi Camp, and all he could think about was how to cross the river as soon as possible. Luo Yao didn't allow Shanzi camp to move because he was worried that Fang Jie would cause trouble to the rebels after crossing the river.
The red horse rubbed Wanyan Yunshu's body affectionately on the side. This BMW from Northern Liao still remembered its old owner. When it saw Wanyan Yunshu, it moved its hooves excitedly. Sometimes animals have more emotions than humans. Be durable. Even if two once very good friends have not seen each other for two years, their relationship will gradually fade away.
"You Han people are really bad at shooting."
Wanyan Yunshu looked at the soldiers of Shanzi Camp and curled his lips: "In Bei Liao, if the cavalry cannot even touch the edge of the target when shooting arrows, they will be severely whipped."
"They are different from you."
Fang explained: "You have grown up on horses since you were young. They have not been riding horses for more than three months now."
Wanyan Yunshu pouted and jumped on the red horse: "I won't tell you anymore, you are too protective. Your soldiers are just like your treasures. Don't let anyone say anything wrong."
Fang Jie smiled, looked at the graceful figure and rode away and sighed.
People in Northern Liao and Central Plains are very different in temperament. Although Wanyan Yunshu is a woman, she has a bold personality. They won't miss home too much after leaving home, and most people in the Central Plains are reluctant to leave home. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s because of my concept of home.The difference is that people in Northern Liao really don't have a good impression of their home.
Liu Kuo walked slowly to Fang Jie and sat down. He smiled and said, "Your Shanzi Camp is really enviable. I led an army and didn't even have 1,200 horses. In just a few months, we It¡¯s not easy to train to this point. It would be great if I also had a light cavalry"
Fang Jie smiled and said, "I won't give you a single horse hair."
Liu Kuo laughed and was silent for a while: "Thank you."
Fang Jie was startled for a moment: "Thank you for not giving you a horse?"
"Thank you for saving me on the battlefield."
Fang Jie said: "You led people across the river to save me, but I didn't even thank you. You came to me to thank me, are you here to insult me?"
Liu Kuo laughed loudly: "That's right, a man doesn't say thank you or not."
"correct¡¡"
Fang Jie suddenly remembered something: "The other day you said that you have never had a good impression of pretty boys. You think pretty boys have no use at all except for their faces and butts. What do you mean?"
"You really don't know?"
Liu Kuo asked.
"what do you know?"
Fang Jie said seriously: "You know the pretty girl's butt? Don't be ridiculous Just look at the fact that I have three beauties around me now. You'll know that I'm normal."
Liu Kuo smiled: "I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about someone else."
When he thought of this, his stomach couldn't help but churn. Wen Xiaodao's handsomeness was obvious to all, and unlike Fang Jie's tough physique and handsome appearance, Wen Xiaodao's handsomeness had a certain enchantment to it. Fang Jie recalled it carefully and found that there was indeed something different in that man's gestures. The thought in his mind that Wen Xiaodao actually relied on and then the thought of Luo Yao made him feel nauseated.
Liu Kuo nodded: "Soldiers and outsiders all refer to the ten most powerful generals under the general as the Ten Heroes of Luomen The other nine, at least, have solid military exploits." Some people followed the general to destroy the Shang Dynasty more than 20 years ago, and Wen Xiaodao climbed to the second position among the Ten Heroes of Luomen in just a few years Besides, there have never been any great battles in the southwest, and there is no trick. ,possible?"
Fang Jie was silent for a while and suddenly couldn't help laughing: "I finally understand why Wen Xiaodao deliberately delayed ordering to save me He thinks I am a threat to him? Oh my god!"
Liu Kuo nodded heavily and said seriously: "Tongcao"
