Luo Yao didn't seem angry, as if he was used to this man's slightly disrespectful tone. Among the entire Left Guards, there seemed to be only one person who dared to chat with Luo Yao in this way. The first player under Luo Yao at the left midfielder, Zhan Yao, the leader of the Ten Heroes of Luo Men, was respectful in front of Luo Yao and regarded Luo Yao as his mentor. Wen Xiaodao only dared to pout and show his temper when he was alone with Luo Yao.
And this person spoke as if he was an old friend of Luo Yao.
But it seems that the two of them are definitely not friends.
"You should stay in Yongzhou."
Luo Yao withdrew his gaze from the man in black robe and continued to read the half-turned book in his hand.
"Why?"
The man in black robe turned to look at him and asked.
"You stay in Yongzhou, huddle in your own room and tinker with all kinds of weird things. If you don't come to provoke me, I won't bother to care about you. You just want to go north with the army, so you are not afraid of me killing you when I am in a bad mood. about you?"
"The general wants to kill me not once or twice a year or two."
The man in black robe smiled and said, "Am I still alive and well? Those who have followed the general for so many years have received a lot of favors as long as they are not dead, such as Zhan Yao and Wen Xiaodao, so I can't die either. Wait until When General Long Deng sits on that big golden chair, I will be rewarded with a fortune if I haven't died yet, so I have to wait. How can I be willing to die if I am so greedy?"
"I want to kill you, but do I care whether you want to or not?"
"The general is willing to give it up?"
The man in black robe followed up with a question. Luo Yao glanced at him and was speechless.
Seeing that Luo Yao didn't answer, the man in black didn't seem to want to provoke him any more. He paused and changed the subject: "It's better to resolve Huang Yangdao's matter as soon as possible. Although Yang Yanye dismissed Min Yong, this person has a very high prestige in the local area. . If nothing goes wrong in the long run, although there is someone in the court who can help you, that person is also unprofitable and the most unreliable. "
"You are wrong"
Luo Yao said calmly: "The most reliable relationship in this world has never been family and friendship, nor brotherhood and monarchy. It is interest. The person you think is unreliable, I think is the most reliable. Because he is very smart and knows You have to be prepared for everything. When I was still strong, he was more loyal to me than anyone else."
The man in black robe smiled and said: "If the general's trusted generals listen to these words, I'm afraid they will probably feel chilled."
He walked slowly behind Luo Yao, looked at the huge map, stretched out his hand and stroked the map slowly: "How many people fight for their lives to be able to point out the country on this map, how many people fight to be able to point out the country on this map. Holding this map with one hand, we fight to the death. Some people say that the most beautiful thing in the world is the blush on the face of a beautiful woman, but no matter what, it looks a bit arrogant. Looking at it from a distance and looking closely, this magnificent river and mountain are still the most beautiful. However, after all is said and done, the most beautiful thing is the word ¡°power¡±.
"General, how does power taste like?"
He asked very seriously.
Luo Yao was silent for a while and then asked him: "You can feel that feeling when you get what you want most."
The man in black robe sighed faintly: "Me? Haha I am destined to never get what I want in this life."
Luo Yao's expression changed slightly and he fell into silence again.
"If the general really wants to take action on Yin Poshan, what will Li Yuanshan say?"
The man in black robe changed the topic for the second time, just right.
"say what?"
Luo Yao raised his chin slightly: "Do I need to explain to him? He has always begged me, not me. I have no interest in the tired land of the northwest, but he regards it as a treasure. A person's With such small ambitions, how can he be qualified to deal with me? If there is one person in this world who deserves my admiration, it is His Majesty the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty It's just that he was unlucky. If he was born in troubled times, he would not be the best. His achievements may not be inferior to those of Emperor Taizong of the Sui Dynasty. He was too ambitious and too smart, but he made a mistake. "
"The general always likes to decide the ending for his opponents like this?"
The man in black robe asked.
"I have no opponent."
Luo Yao sighed slightly: "If the emperor was not seriously ill and lived as long as the late emperor, I would not dare to do what I want to do. But he is a short-lived person, so he has lost the qualification to be my opponent. If he hadn't known that his time was running out, he wouldn't have hurriedly started a war against Meng Yuan. If the dream in the man's heart could not be realized before he died,How regretful was it before dying? "
"I never felt that the emperor did anything wrongAlthough he lost the battle against Meng Yuan, the emperor may not have any regrets in his heart. After all, he fought this battle."
"You know the emperor very well."
The man in black robe sighed and said: "The most fortunate thing in my life is that I am not standing opposite the general. If you want to do something, no one can stop you. If you want to kill someone, no one can stop you either. "
"you?"
Luo Yao shook his head: "You don't belong in the struggle, you are suitable to guard your things and concentrate on practice."
"That was before"
The man in black robe changed his tone and became a little sad: "Now I have to guard something else"
"Don't talk about this!"
Luo Yao interrupted him: "You should go back to Yongzhou as soon as possible. No one in the house is watching. I'm afraid something will happen. Zhan Yao is an all-rounder, but because he respects me too much, he treats my family members too much." The same respect. If someone interferes with power, he may not be able to control the situation. "
"Can you trust me?"
The man in black robe turned his head and looked at Luo Yao and asked.
"letter"
Luo Yao answered with one word.
"I'm not going anywhere."
The man in black robe was silent for a while and said calmly: "I always feel that I can't wait until the day you put on the dragon robe, and maybe I can't survive this war. So I will stay in the army and watch as long as I can."
Luo Yao was startled, opened his mouth and finally said nothing.

The north bank of Huangniu River is a hundred miles away from the rebel camp. More than a dozen Huanglong Clippers were parked in the middle of the river, and dozens of Centipede Clippers were transporting soldiers on the Huanglong warship back and forth to the north bank. These soldiers were wearing brand-new battle uniforms, and the crude weapons they once had were replaced by the Sui Dynasty's standard horizontal swords.
Naval General Duan Zheng stood on the bow of the big ship, looking at the soldiers who were excited about wearing new clothes and new equipment, but his face was a little worried.
The deputy general next to him looked at the soldiers, his eyes also full of doubts: "General, can these people really accomplish such a big thing? You must know that the rebel camp has at least 200,000 troops, and among them There is no shortage of elites. Yin Poshan is one of Li Yuanshan's seven heroes. Since Li Yuanshan has entrusted him with such a large amount of industry, Yin Poshan is definitely not a simple man who can do it with little training. ?¡±
Duan Zheng shook his head: "Maybe this is an opportunity When Fang Jie came to me, I didn't think he could do it. But when I saw these soldiers, I realized that I was wrong. These civilians They may not be as brave as our soldiers in fighting and killing, and they may not be as good at commanding and dispatching as our soldiers, but compared with our soldiers, they are more pure"
A few days ago, Fang Jie found him secretly and discussed a major matter with him. When Duan Zheng finished listening to Fang's explanation, he felt in his heart that this young man was simply whimsical. But seeing these brave civilians, he understood why Fang Jie was so confident.
"These soldiers are all local people in Huangyang Road. To be honest, we soldiers who receive salary from the imperial court can accept defeat because we have a way to retreat. If we are defeated, we can fight back. But they can't. They are defeated. They Their families and friends will fall into disaster and their homes will be destroyed"
The deputy general sighed: "I still don't believe that with these few thousand people's bravery, the rebels and Luo Yao's people can fight?"
"Whether they can or not, Fang Jie and these brave men are worthy of admiration!"
Duan Zheng looked at Min Yong who was landing one after another, and his tone was full of respect: "Fang Jie is only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he is more courageous than you and me. No matter whether he succeeds or fails in this matter, he dares Doing it is better than you and me. You and I both know that Luo Yao, Chen Bing, and Huang Yangdao may not be for the rebels, but we can only watch and do nothing. If it happens, then the cause of countering the rebellion will immediately become smoother. Good luck, if it doesn¡¯t work out, at least they tried.¡±
The lieutenant general was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "When I first heard about Fang Jie, I didn't think that he was worthy of respect for being outstanding in nine disciplines or a genius. Now I know why His Majesty values ??him so much. ¡±
"I hope he can succeed."
Duan Zheng tightened his fists: "Our navy has been cowardly for so long. We can't move ourselves, so we can only hope for help. The navy wants to patrol the river, and there is not much support that can be given to him. Four thousand sets of armor. I can still get weapons, give them as many hard bows and crossbows as I can, and give them as many supplies as I can Of these four thousand people, no one knows how many will come home alive. "
Speaking ofWhen he said this, Duan Zheng's tone was a little sad.
yes
Of the four thousand civilian warriors who crossed the river to defend their homeland, how many of them would die in order to defend their homeland? The south bank of the river is their hometown, but how many people would bury their bones in a foreign land and look across the river to the south but never go back?
¡°Bon voyage, brothers!¡±
Duan Zheng clasped his fists and looked solemn.
¡¡
¡¡
Fang Jie did not delay after returning to Shanzi Camp, and immediately asked Chen Bishan to assemble Shanzi Camp. No matter what Luo Yao's plot is, he must cross the river. If Luo Yao originally planned to launch troops against the rebels, that would be great. If Luo Yao doesn't want to use troops, then he can at least leave.
When he walked out of Luo Yao's tent, Luo Yao said that even if he left, he would still have to go back sooner or later. But from the moment Fang Jie planned to leave, he had no intention of coming back. Luo Yao promised him a beautiful and beautiful future, but what he got in this way was not what Fang Jie wanted.
Around Luo Yao, Fang Jie always felt that he was not a loving father but a fierce tiger. This feeling becomes clearer and stronger especially when Luo Yao is good to him. There seems to be a voice in his heart constantly reminding him not to believe Luo Yao's words, not a word!
Does a person like Luo Yao really value family ties so seriously?
The biggest contradiction is Luo Wu himself. If Luo Yao really cared about his son, why did he have to kill him with his own hands in the first place? In order to show loyalty to the emperor, he could kill his own son. To put it bluntly, don¡¯t you want to protect yourself? If something like this happens again in the future, will Luo Yao hesitate to kill someone?
And Fang Jie always felt that there must be other reasons why Luo Yao was so obsessed with resurrecting Luo Wu.
So he won¡¯t give up if he has the chance and must leave.
If the Sui Dynasty is destined to be chaotic, Fang Jie has never been afraid of chaos.
1,200 soldiers from the Shanzi Camp gathered together and rode their own horses in formation on the south bank of the Huangniu River. Putting on a suit of iron armor, Fang Jie rode a red horse and slowly walked to the front of the queue.
He pointed to the north bank of the river and asked loudly: "Do you dare to kill someone?!"
Chen Bishan took the lead and replied loudly: "Dare!"
The uniform shouts resounded across the sky, filled with murderous intent. Over the past few days, the soldiers have recognized Fang Jie. They knew that this young general was a person worth following, although most of them did not expect that Fang Jie might be leading them on a one-way road without a loop.
When you shout out the word "dare", you are destined to move forward indomitably.
Fang Jie nodded: "Then follow me and kill people."
