Chapter 332: The road is far away and not scary
Luo Xiaotu sat down on the chair, with a smile on his face for a long time. This made the soldiers who had never seen him smile feel very nervous, because they didn't know what the general's smile meant, whether he was happy or angry. Not long after, the people who rushed to report to several other generals that Fang Jie had escaped returned and told Luo Xiaotu that the other generals were shocked and immediately led troops to coordinate the pursuit of Fang Jie.
but
As expected by Luo Xiaotu, except for the Duan brothers who returned to the Hebei camp and Zhu Quan who rushed to Xinkoucang to replace Ye Jinnan, the other two generals of Luo Men's Ten Heroes, Mu Li and Cui Lunhai, waited until half an hour. Then it was too late. At this time, the soldiers sent to the Hebei camp had returned, which made Luo Xiaotu have to admire Fang Jie's judgment once again.
That¡¯s right, not only Luo Xiaotu didn¡¯t want Fang Jie to stay, but none of the other generals wanted Fang Jie to stay either. When he learned that Fang Jie had escaped, Mu Li, who was chatting with Cui Lunhai, even laughed out loud. Then the two of them finished playing another game of chess before leading their soldiers to see Luo Xiaotu.
The Duan brothers in the Hebei camp were more direct and simply pretended not to know anything. The stupid Duan Bianxiong waved his arms and was about to lead his troops to stop him, but Duan Bianbao grabbed him and scolded him. It took him a long time to explain to Duan Bianxiong that it would be of no benefit to anyone if Fang Jie stayed in the camp.
There is only one reason.
Fang Jie killed Wen Xiaodao, but Luo Yao didn't get angry!
If Fang Jie stays on the left midfielder, he will soon get on top of them. Wen Xiaodao is dead, and they don't want Fang Jie to be the next Wen Xiaodao. Zhan Yao died, Wen Xiaodao died, and their chance came. As for Luo Yao coming back, will he punish them all?
When Fang Jie was crossing the Huangniu River, he was in a good mood and wanted to sing loudly!
At this moment, the sky looks bluer and the clouds look whiter.
The fat red horse seemed to run more briskly.
After crossing the river, Fang Jie rode his horse in the direction of Mangdang Mountain, galloping along the agreed route. As expected, he met Shen Qingshan and the others halfway. If he had gone back later, he would probably have lost his temper with Shen Qingshan and Mu Xiao. They really dared to go straight to the left avant-garde camp.
Then it was solved, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Luo Yao will actually let you back?"
The big dog murmured, his face full of disbelief.
Fang Jie smiled and said, "Not only am I back, I also brought something back."
Fang Jie pointed to a big thing hanging on a red horse. It was wrapped in cloth and smelled of blood.
"Who did you kill?"
Shen Qingfan asked.
"A man who must die for three reasons."
Zhuo Buyi was silent for a moment and then asked tentatively: "Wen Xiaodao?"
Fang Jie nodded.
"I can only think of one reason why you must kill him."
Zhuo Buyi said.
"First, he has offended me. Second, if we don't kill him, how can the people of Huang Yangdao truly return? The one who forced Yang Yanye to death was Luo Yao, and the person who executed him was Wen Xiaodao. Only after Wen Xiaodao died, the people of Huangyangdao could really return. He will truly be of one mind with me. Third I don't like him."
Zhuo Buyi guessed the second point, but he knew that the first and third points explained by Fang were both truth but by no means a reason. But the smart thing about him is that he never asks about the secrets that others will not mention. Everyone has their own secrets. Fang Jie never asked about his past, and he would naturally not be stupid enough to touch other people's thoughts.
There were too many reasons for Wen Xiaodao to die. What surprised Zhuo Buyi was just how Fang Jie could kill Wen Xiaodao and still come back safe and sound.
And this is Fang Jie¡¯s secret.
"No more talking"
Fang Jie got on his horse and said, "Let's rush back. We were anxious when we ran out, and then we looked for a place to bury the body for a while. If we don't leave, we won't have a place to stay before dark. After going back this time, we finally have a reason to let go." The brave people of Huangyang Road followed me on this journey, and now I really want to say thank you to Wen Xiaodao."
Zhuo Buyi and the others knew what Fang Jie meant. The benefits of killing Wen Xiaodao were too great to justify. If Wen Xiaodao is killed, the civilian heroes of Huangyang Road will regard Fang Jie, who avenges Yang Yanye, as one of their own. And these people would never stay away from Huang Yangdao if there was no accident, but now, Fang Jie has a reason.
Fang Jie will tell the civilian heroes when he goes back that because he killed Wen Xiaodao, the left avant-garde was shocked, and the civilian warriors will die if they stay. In order to keep this team, we must leave here.
This is a lie.
But sometimes, lies are necessary.
"Fang Jie, since we are going to lead the troops and leave, we can't let the team not have a name, especially the civilian warriors of Huangyang Dao. They don't have numbers and are difficult to command."
Zhuo Buyi reminded him while riding his horse.
"Yeahit's time to think of a name."
Fang Jie pondered for a while and then said: "Go back and ask those brave people and let them think of a name!"
¡¡
¡¡
¡°These are the only places we can go to now.¡±
Fang Jie unfolded the map, pointed at a few places and said: "Lead the army north, cross Mangdang Mountain, and then run to Hedong Road to join His Majesty's army. Or, go all the way to the northwest and find Yang Kai, Prince of Xu Commandery. Meet the brothers on Langru Mountain. I am familiar with that place, but the climate is a bit cold. Third, find a secret place to hide, to avoid the encirclement and suppression of the left vanguard, and to avoid the retaliation of the rebels."
After speaking, he glanced at everyone.
Chen Bishan was obviously in a bad mood. It was difficult for him to accept that he was separated from the left midfielder and even became the enemy of the left midfielder in the future. Although Fang Jie killed Wen Xiaodao and relieved his hatred, as the commander of Shanzi Camp, he naturally had more considerations. Most of the soldiers' families were in Southwest Fourth Road. The soldiers of Shanzi Camp would definitely Somewhat contradictory.
Contrary to Fang Jie¡¯s expectation, Lu Fenghou looked excited. When Wen Xiaodao's body was thrown in front of Huangyang Dao Minyong, some of the soldiers laughed loudly and some howled. Then they knelt down neatly and kowtowed three times in the direction of Huiyang City and shouted. Mr. Yang, your enemy, General, has been avenged!
Fang Jie has always been worried that the civilian warriors of Huangyang Road would have difficulty adapting to leaving home. Now it seems that the cavalry of Shanziying are relatively difficult to accept.
But the matter has come to this, and everyone knows that leaving is inevitable.
"I think we should join the army to conquer the west!"
Lu Fenghou could not hide his excitement: "His Majesty the Emperor His Majesty the Emperor is over there."
Although his words were brief, the heat in them was so clear.
Fang Jie couldn't help but smile, he could understand Lu Fenghou's thoughts. In the minds of the people, the emperor is the supreme being. Being able to work under the emperor is also the highest honor for common people like them. Which common people don't want to see the emperor, even if they can't see him, just being in the same camp is enough to make them excited.
Furthermore, if you want to obtain military merit, is there a more direct way than following the emperor?
So when he heard that he could go north to Hedong Road to join the emperor's army, Lu Fenghou's heart beat wildly.
For them, this is an irresistible temptation.
"I don't agree!"
Chen Bishan glanced at Lu Fenghou and said: "You don't understand those things in the Sui army. I know what you are thinking. Which man has no fame but has great ambitions on horseback? Do you think that in the army of His Majesty the Emperor? Is it easier to get ahead? This only shows your ignorance!¡±
"You are ignorant!"
Lu Fenghou glared at Chen Bishan.
Zhuo Buyi sighed and said: "Old Lu, Chen Bishan is right. You don't understand the affairs in the Sui army and the officialdom. Although his tone of voice was a little exaggerated, it was the truth. Do you think that if you are close to the emperor and you are brave and willing to work hard, you will be appreciated by his majesty? Then you can rise to the top and become a respected general? If you think so, you are really wrong."
"There are more than a million people who have the same dream as you in the imperial army's expedition to the west! Everyone of these people wants to be appreciated by His Majesty, and everyone wants to become a role model like General Fang. But you want to Have you ever done that? Will Your Majesty see everything with your own eyes? You are commanded by the generals of the imperial court. If you come to fight, the people who will die the most will definitely be the soldiers, but the credit will most likely fall to the soldiers. People like you will never see the emperor."
"The most likely possibility is that you will fight to the death to kill the enemy, and then at most you will be praised by the general. Then when reporting for military merit, your names will not even be mentioned. You think you will succeed if you are brave, but you are wrong because you don't even mention it. There is no chance to see the emperor, and no chance to show his courage in front of the emperor. "
"Whywhy?"
Lu Fenghou¡¯s expression changed, and his eyes immediately dimmed. He looked at Fang Jie with hope in his eyes. He longed for Fang Jie to be on his side, but obviously, he did not get Fang Jie's support.
"Fenghou, you really don't understand the officialdom of the Sui Dynasty."
Fang Jie thought of Mo Xidao and Zhang Kuang for a moment.
If the court is fair enoughPing, then Mo Xiandao and Zhang Kuang will not end up dead.
Fang Jie breathed a sigh of relief and told the story about Mo Xida and Zhang Kuang. After hearing this, Lu Fenghou saw that most of the hope and excitement in his eyes had disappeared.
"Is it fake to get fame right away?"
He murmured something that was heartbreaking.
"it is true."
Zhuo Buyi sighed: "But since ancient times, those who came from poor families and climbed to great heights, those who were cited for fame but set examples on horseback, were all promoted by the emperor deliberately to show you. This is extremely treasonous. But the reality is that there are more than tens of millions of people from poor families chasing this dream. How many of them finally get up?"
The corner of Lu Fenghou's mouth twitched, not knowing what to say.
"I don't agree with staying either."
Chen Banshan said: "General Luo Yao has something to do and rushes back to Yongzhou to deal with it, but I am sure he will be back in less than a month. Luo Wen is incompetent. As long as the general walks into Yongzhou City, everything Luo Wen will get will be instantly As soon as the general Luo Yao comes back from Yongzhou and learns about Wen Xiaodao's death, he will immediately send troops to surround us. Although Mangdang Mountain is big, it cannot stop the general's anger. "
Fang Jie came back and told them that Luo Yao was rushing back to Yongzhou to deal with Luo Wen's matter, but he did not say that Luo Wen had been taken away by Shi Yuan, nor did he say that he killed Wen Xiaodao in front of Luo Yao, because it was difficult to explain.
"No matter what, Master Yang's revenge has finally been avenged."
Lu Fenghou has not yet recovered from his disappointment, but he became more energetic when he mentioned Wen Xiaodao: "So, general, just give your orders. There is not a coward among our people in Huangyang Road. Wherever the general points, I will go."
After saying that, he glanced at Chen Bishan provocatively.
Chen Bishan snorted coldly and said, "We have been following the general longer than you!"
Lu Fenghou was startled for a moment, and then sneered: "Just because it takes a long time doesn't mean that you won't be scared at critical moments!"
Chen Bishan was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he stopped talking.
Fang Jie was very happy because Zhuo Buyi had guided these two people to the point where there was only one choice left. Zhuo Buyi is a smart man. He knows where Fang Jie is going and how to make Chen Bishan and Lu Fenghou follow his own ideas.
"Then we can only go and join Prince Xu."
Zhuo Buyi glanced at Fang Jie and said, "It's just that the journey is a bit far, and it has to pass through the territory of the rebels. But King Xujun is short of people. There is a million troops around the emperor. He doesn't care about our five thousand troops, but Xujun The king cares. When the time comes to report his military exploits, he will not hide it."
¡°Then go to Langru Mountain!¡±
Lu Fenghou stood up and said: "Isn't it just that the road is longer? There is nothing to be afraid of!"
Fang Jie and Zhuo Buyi looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.
