(May the power of the monthly ticket last longer, like the endless sky?) Chapter 576: Forking out The lights in the hall were very bright, so the displeasure on Fang Jie's face was particularly clear. The people sitting in the hall felt a little nervous and lowered their heads subconsciously, not daring to look at Fang Jie's eyes. Even the generals who had returned from victory not long ago were like this, and the atmosphere in the hall was a bit chilly. ??Chen Xiaoru, the general of the Xiaoqiu School, knelt on one knee in front of Fang Jie, his head hung low. "My subordinate did something bad, please punish me, general!" He raised his head and glanced at Fang Jie, then quickly lowered his head. Fang Jie looked at him, was silent for a while and then said: "I entrusted the Xiao Riding School to you. Some of them are from the Ouchi Guards, and some are elites trained by me personally. Each of these people is not light. , I gave them all to you because I trust you, but this time, you let me down." Chen Xiaoru lowered his head and said, "It was my subordinate's carelessness. I didn't expect it" "I didn't expect it?" Fang Jie interrupted Chen Xiaoru's words and said coldly: "As a commander, it is a sign of incompetence to attribute the fault to the unexpected. If I hear you say the words "unexpected" again in the future, I will take off your clothes. These clothes were sent to the coolie camp." Chen Xiaoru lowered his head and did not dare to argue. Fang Jie stood up, walked to him and looked down at him: "Lu Chuan, Gao Beidou, Bo Yang and Dou Tiande, you have contributed a lot to destroying these two thieves by leading the people from Xiaoqiu School to cooperate with the army. This is true. If not, According to the intelligence gathered by the Xiaoqiu School in advance, these two battles cannot be won so easily, especially the attack on Luchuan County. The people from the Xiaoqiu School sneaked into the city in advance and seized the city gate to welcome the cavalry into the city when the army attacked. "Particularly beautiful." "I originally planned to record the first achievement for your Knight Riding School, but it's better for you. Before the commendation order I asked Mr. Sun to be written, Hukoujian folded in a whole team of fifty Knight Riding Schools! I remember you said last time that the thieves in Hukou Stream were different from Lu Chuan, Gao Beidou and Bo Yang Dou Tiande. These two people gathered a crowd but did not know how to lead troops, so it was not difficult to fight. Although the bandits in Hukou Stream were small in number, they had strict military discipline. , since you already have this understanding, why not be more cautious?" He looked at Luo Weiran who was sitting on the side and said, "Just yesterday, I praised you in front of Commander Luo, saying that he brought out a qualified talent. !" Chen Xiaoru said: "I am willing to be punished by the general." Fang Jie snorted and said: "I can cut off your head and save the fifty knights?" Chen Xiaoru lowered his head and dared not speak. . Sun Kaidao leaned over and said: "General, please calm down, or because the first two battles were fought too smoothly, the Cavalry School under General Chen was a little bit arrogant. Not only him, but I didn't expect it either." There is such a group of well-trained thieves in the barren land of Hukoujian. It seems that this man named Mo has a good background. Since General Chen made a mistake, it is better to give him a chance to get rid of his crime. " He waved his hand and said, "Go out and get twenty military sticks yourself first!" Chen Xiaoru quickly stood up, bowed and retreated. Fang Jie walked back to the chair and sat down and said: "In fighting Boyang, the Xiaoqi School burned the thieves' food and grass at night, and they did a great job. In fighting Lu Chuan, the Xiaoqi School sneaked into the county and opened the city gate even more beautifully. But they clearly knew that the thief Kou Feibi in the Hukou Stream Unexpectedly, he sent a team of people to sneak in without any preparation, but was locked in. The next morning, fifty corpses were hung neatly on the big tree outside Hukou Stream. " His face was a little ugly, Obviously he was really angry: "I want to destroy the thieves and establish their power. The thieves in Hukou Stream probably thought so too. They relied on the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain of Hukou Stream and hung the corpses of the Xiaoqi Riding School at the entrance of the valley. The outsiders are deliberately provoking. They just want to let outsiders know that they are not afraid of our Black Flag Army!" Fang Jie sighed as he heard the sound of military sticks hitting his body outside, "If it weren't for Commander Luo, we would still have to train. The newly recruited soldiers of the Xiaoqi Cavalry School, I really want to take over Chen Xiaoru's job and ask Commander Luo to lead the Xiaoqi Cavalry School." "You must not do it." Luo Weiran quickly stood up and clasped his fists and said: "General, Chen Xiaoru is just a temporary mistake. This time, he will never make such a mistake again. Although he worked under me before, he has been working hard for the general in the past few years, and he is particularly familiar with the affairs of the Knight Riding School. It would be worse for him to replace me. He did better." Fang Jie's expression softened a little and he said to the outside: "After you finish the fight, come in and talk!" After a while, the two knights helped Chen Xiaoru back to the hall. Chen Xiaoru broke away from the two knights. He gritted his teeth and walked back to the hall. "General, give your subordinates a chance,"?My subordinates must avenge the vengeance of fifty brothers by themselves! Fang Jie nodded and said, "As long as you have this ambition, I will give you another chance." If you don't know the strength of the bandits in Hukou Stream within seven days and the origin of the surname Mo, I don't think you will forgive yourself. Chen Xiaoru Do you know what makes me most angry? " "My subordinates know!" " Chen Xiaoru bit his lip and endured the pain: "My subordinates failed to bring back the bodies of the fifty brothers! " After the thieves in Hukou Stream killed the fifty knights, they hung them on the big tree outside the gate of Taniguchi Village. Chen Xiaoru didn't think about snatching the bodies back, but the thieves in Hukou Stream did this deliberately. , waiting for people to snatch the corpse. The place where the corpse is hanging is less than fifty steps away from the wooden wall of the cottage. There are at least two hundred strong attack crossbows waiting on the wooden wall. If the people from the Xiaoqiu School go to snatch the corpse, the losses will be even greater. I once said before that the brothers followed me because they believed in me. Fang Jie said slowly: "If I can't even bring their bodies back and bury them properly, how can I deserve this trust?" " "My subordinates will go and snatch the bodies of our brothers back now!" " Chen Xiaoru knelt down on one knee again and begged for orders: "General, don't worry, if I don't do it this time, I don't need to be punished by the general. I will give myself a break. " "Go ahead" Fang Jie waved his hand: "I also want to see how big of an immortal is hidden in the Hukou Stream! " Hukou Stream is 210 miles away from Zhuque Mountain. In fact, the two peaks are branches of Zhuque Mountain. Because these two peaks are so tall and tall, they look like two tiger fangs. Therefore, it is also called Huya Mountain by the locals, and the canyon between the two mountains is called Hukou Stream. The widest part of the valley is only 100 meters, and the narrowest part becomes narrower. It is only one or two meters wide and is called a line of sky. The terrain of this place is notoriously dangerous. After the bandits of Hukou Stream blocked the entrance of the valley, it was as difficult as climbing into the sky. The cliffs on both sides were too steep and there was no way to rely on them. The point is that it is not easy for a great practitioner to get there. It can be seen from the choice of this place that the bandit leader named Mo in Hukou Stream is said to be very strict in managing the army. The thieves were well-trained. Lu Chuan and Gao Beidou once wanted to recruit him and promised the man named Mo a position as the third leader, but Gao Beidou was unmoved and took five thousand troops there himself. Attack. As a result, five thousand people besieged it for half a month, and they lost 1,600 to 700 people, but they still failed to break through Huya Village. They could only rush forward in groups of two to three hundred people. The bandits in Huya Village were condescending and well-trained, so they didn't take Gao Beidou seriously. After half a month of fierce fighting, Gao Beidou had no choice but to lead his men back to Luchuan County. . A few months ago, the bandits from Huya Village went out to rob Bo Yang Dou Tiande of a batch of grain and killed four to five hundred of Bo Yang's bandits. This angered Dou Tiande, who was cruel by nature, and he also led his troops to attack, but he and Gao Beidou also had nothing to do against Huya Village. Dou Tiande was yelling outside Huya Village, but he was shot through the shoulder by a cold arrow and retreated in panic. The leader of Huya Village, whose surname was Mo, was extremely calm but flamboyant, and deliberately provoked the two distant men. The thieves who were stronger than him estimated that firstly, this person was extremely confident, and secondly, he had no intention of using the name of Huya Village. After Chen Xiaoru, who had been beaten by a military stick, went out, Fang Jie ordered people to capture Dou Tiande alive. Bring him in. This big thief in Boyang County who has been doing evil for nearly a year was already frightened when he was taken into the Zhuque Mountain camp yesterday, not to mention the powerful combat power of Chen Dingnan's Feihu Army. After arriving at Zhuque Mountain, he was really frightened by the scale of the camp. He had long heard that there was a group of bandits on Zhuque Mountain, but he did not expect that there were tens of thousands of cavalry and endless water. Warships. What kind of bandits are there? They are clearly a powerful army! So when the cruel Dou Tiande was brought in, his legs were weak with fear, and he was even more shocked when he saw the guards standing outside the hall with their swords like nails. Frightened. The two knights held him tightly and walked into the hall. As soon as they let go, he collapsed on the ground. Everyone. Fang Jie glanced at him and asked: "When I first came to Huangyang Road, I heard that there was a big thief named Dou Tiande in Boyang County. He summoned more than ten thousand bandits to run rampant in the countryside, break into villages and rob people. If there is anyone who refuses, You dug out the man's heart, cooked it, and drank it, but is that so? ¡± Dou Tiande was so frightened that he got up.He kowtowed continuously: "This is nothing, General. The common people led a group of villagers to resist just because the county officials were unfair. All they did was to benefit the township. How dare you harm the people, let alone do it?" There is such evil thing as eating people's hearts, General Mingjian, General Mingjian!" Fang Jie frowned slightly and said calmly: "Slap mouth" The two knight commanders picked up Dou Tiande, Qilin personally went over and slapped Dou Tiande dozens of times. The face was swollen from the beating, and blood kept flowing out of the mouth. "But to benefit the village?" Fang Jie waved his hand to signal Qilin to stop. "The common peoplethe common people have indeed done some evil things. Please show mercy, General." "Let me ask you, are you familiar with the bandits in Hukou Stream?" Fang Jie asked. "Ah?" Dou Tiande was stunned for a moment: "The grassroots are not familiar with it. The origin of the man named Mo in Hukou Stream is mysterious. I don't know when he established a stronghold on Huya Mountain. He also robbed the grassroots of a lot of food a while ago. The grassroots only I know that this man has extraordinary martial arts skills and a very tall figure. He always covers his face when traveling, so he can't tell his face. His accent sounds like someone from Jiangbei." "Yeah" Fang Jie hummed: "You are a native of Boyang. "It's only a hundred miles away from Huya Mountain. Is there really only one way to enter Hukou Stream?" "That's the only way!" Dou Tiande nodded: "There is no other way, unless you go thousands of miles away from the other side." Entering the canyon. But the other side is too narrow for one person to pass through, so it is called Yixiantian. Fang Jie thought for a while and asked, "Xinyang Chengtian Xin, have you ever wanted to recruit me?" ?" When Dou Tiande heard this, he suddenly felt that he had a chance to survive. He nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, Tian Xin sent people twice to ask me to take the team to Xinyang City, but he only agreed. Give me the official position of a school captain. The common people feel that if I go, I will be restrained. It is better to stay in Boyang and be more comfortable, so I don't go. However, I am willing to serve the general. If the general leaves the common people, I will be free. The common people will die through fire and water" Before he could finish what he said, Fang Jie waved and said: "Take it out and take it outside Boyang County, let the Boyang County magistrate summon the people, and I will do it in front of the people. I want to use this man¡¯s blood to commemorate the soldiers who died in the battle.¡± Dou Tiande was so frightened that he collapsed in an instant. He even wanted to cry out but was picked up and pulled out by the wolf-like and tiger-like Knight Riding School. The wailing sound spread all the way, especially sad.
