    Please vote for me. Chapter 636: Just kill it. When Fang Jie heard Luo Qiu talking about Mrs. Luo Yao, the Chu family, he suddenly understood a lot of things.  Luo Yao did this scam not only for Fang Jie, but also for his wife.  He lied to Fang Jie in order to better control his physical substitute.  And he lied to his wife to give her a hope of living.  For a moment, Fang Jie felt that this woman was very pitiful.  But as soon as this idea came to him, Fang Jie thought of the doll in the tree in the Chu family's yard.  He shuddered.  "What's wrong?" Luo Qiu asked.  "It's okay." Fang Jie smiled and said: "The last time I came to Yongzhou, it was summer, and people are a little used to the heat. This time I came when the weather was the best. It was so cold when I got out of the car that I felt a little cold.  " Luo Qiu naturally didn't suspect anything. He took Fang Jie's hand and entered the city gate while greeting him.  All the officials in Yongzhou City, big and small, were waiting outside. Luo Qiu held on to Fang Jie and refused to let go. They didn't even have a chance to talk.  Fang Jie could save the time of meeting these people next to each other, which saved him a lot of trouble.  After entering the city gate, Fang Jie and Luo Qiu got on the carriage of the Governor's Mansion, and Chen Dingnan and other generals entered the city with their troops.  But the people who came back with the army were not allowed to enter the city, because there was not much food in the city.  If the palace granary had not been opened, Fang Jie bringing more than 70,000 troops into the city would have put tremendous pressure on Yongzhou City.  Fortunately, Fang Jie brought a large amount of food and baggage, enough for his own use.  "The last time we said goodbye in a hurry, it turns out that several years have passed." In the carriage, Luo Qiu sighed and said: "General Fang has lost his childishness and is now in his prime, but I am already old. I originally wanted to ask for a discount.  I resigned and went home to retire, grow vegetables and dig up the soil, raise a few rabbits and cages of birds, and live leisurely until my death. But I didn't expect that when the time came, those Nanman Zihe people started to make a fuss, and I didn't even think about escaping from the battle.  To be honest, if you hadn't come here, Jue Xiao, things would have been really hard for Yongzhou City." He pointed to the outside of the carriage: "To the south of the city is the He people's camp, which stretches for more than ten miles. It looks like it is no less than six or seven miles long.  One hundred thousand people. Besides, the He people will also send wolves, tigers and leopards as soldiers. My people have no way to go out of the city to meet the enemy. I am looking forward to the stars and the moon. I only hope that you will come soon to relieve the siege of Yongzhou.  The people of Shang Dao are suffering." "So many" Fang Jie was slightly surprised and said: "The He people have been killed so hard in recent years, why are there still so many troops?" Luo Qiu sighed: "They are everywhere.  The puppet emperor of Yan State, Murong Shao, invited King He to send troops together. Those Southern Barbarians have been suppressed hard in recent years, and they are full of resentment. They will not let go of the opportunity to take revenge. It is said that there are millions of troops, but in fact there are even ten people in the village.  Children of several years old and old men in their fifties have come out. The numerous crimes committed by the He people on Pingshang Road are countless. It is roughly estimated that hundreds of thousands of people died in the military disaster Every time I think of this, I am a local official.  My heart hurts like a knife." Fang Jie consoled him, "Shibo, there's no need to worry. He could have beaten the Nanmanzi back to the jungle back then, and he could have done the same today if it hadn't happened that the frontier was empty.  Neither Murong Shai nor Nan Barbarian dared to challenge Shang Dao. Now that I am here, although I am not very talented and knowledgeable, I still have a lot of enthusiasm and I will try my best. " Luo Qiu clapped his hands and said.  Your words make me feel at ease. In Yongzhou City today, there are no generals, no soldiers, no food To be honest, only you, Juexiao, are willing to come.  A while ago, I sent out more than a dozen groups of people to ask for reinforcements, but those people were unwilling to come. Is it because they were afraid of damaging their own strength? " Fang Jie smiled inwardly and thought, "What are you doing?"  Are you calling me smart or stupid?  He said a few words, nothing more than that as a general, it is natural to defend the territory.  Luo Qiu acted warm, but in fact the two of them had little friendship.  After the conversation was over, the scene seemed a little deserted. Luo Qiu kept changing the topic, while Fang Jie responded with a smile.  Both of them cleverly avoided Luo Yao, the emperor, and the troubled times of the Sui Dynasty. It was not easy for them to find something to talk about.  ¡°Let¡¯s go to the city first and have a look.¡± Fang Jie opened the curtains of his car and looked outside. He found that the expressions on the faces of the people who were welcoming him on both sides of the street were completely different from those of the refugees he met outside the city.  The refugees outside the city were overflowing with joy when they saw the arrival of the army, while the people in the city waved their arms, but the expressions on their faces were just fake joy.  Fang Jie understands why there is such a difference.  The people outside the city are suffering and suffering. They have lost one person.?.  Relatives, houses, fields, and their entire homes were lost. They were helpless and even had no food to eat. At this time, the arrival of the Black Flag Army undoubtedly opened a door to hope for them.  They can look inside the door hard, and everything they once owned seems to be within reach.  But the people in the city are different. They are still safe now, living in their own homes, covered with warm quilts The first thing they have to worry about at this time is whether the He people from outside the city will break into the city.  It's about whether the reinforcements that can come in at will will take away their rations Sometimes, especially when a disaster strikes, some people's vision will become farther and farther away, and some people will become shallower and shallower.  "Ah?" Luo Qiu was stunned for a moment: "The family has prepared a banquet" "I'm not hungry." Fang Jie smiled: "We can eat after we go back, but we should go to the city first to have a look. Sometimes eating is the best  Sometimes, eating is the least urgent thing" Luo Qiu's heart tightened, and his face suddenly felt hot. ?¡­ ?¡­ ?¡­ As the original capital of the Shang Kingdom, Yongzhou¡¯s city walls were among the top three in the Central Plains for their tallness and sturdiness. And here is the blending place of Han culture and He culture, so the architectural style is quite different from that of the Central Plains.  In the Central Plains, the houses where ordinary people live are made of blue bricks and red tiles, while the houses of wealthy families have high-walled courtyards.  In the southwest, especially in the Yongzhou area, most of the houses where people live are wooden buildings, which have obvious regional characteristics.  The city wall of Yongzhou was built extraordinarily wide. Although it was far less tall than the city wall of Chang'an City, its thickness was not much different.  When Fang Jie walked up to the city wall, he found that the top of the city wall was wide enough for three carriages to travel side by side.  This width can ensure that the reserve team can prepare at the shortest distance, but the disadvantage is that once the enemy attacks the city wall, the enemy can easily find a foothold.  However, Luo Yao's operations in Yongzhou over the past few decades have turned Yongzhou into a fortress.  The defensive measures on the city wall are complete and extremely well maintained.  The bed crossbow was polished very brightly, and the heavy crossbows in the wooden box next to it reflected light. There was no trace of rust. They were rubbed with butter, so they still looked brand new.  The archery tower is very strong and spacious, and can accommodate at least twenty archers.  There is a wolf-fang bat hanging outside the city wall. Given the height of the Yongzhou city wall, the wolf-fang bat can directly smash people into pulp when put down.  In addition, there was a large iron pot every thirty meters on the city wall. Fang Jie walked over and took a look and found that the pot was filled with kerosene.  This kind of thing is actually not fully utilized at the moment, and few people think of using it even in war.  Fang Jie did not see rolling logs or stones on the city wall, which shows that there is at least no shortage of crossbow arrows and arrows in the city.  Although these two things are not impossible to coexist, the generals guarding the city rarely choose to transport large amounts of wood and stone to the city wall when they have sufficient preparations for arrows.  Without looking carefully, Fang Jie was sure that even if there were not hundreds of thousands of He people but hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers outside the city, it would not be easy to break through the Yongzhou City that had been rebuilt by Luo Yao.  He walked to the city wall, reached out and took the clairvoyance from Qilin's hand and looked outside the city.  About five miles away is the He people's camp, which indeed stretches for more than ten miles as Luo Qiu said.  From the size of the camp, the opponent's strength can be roughly estimated, and the numbers Fang figured out made him solemn.  It is obvious to all that Yongzhou City is not easy to break, but Fang Jie is not reassured by this.  The reason is simple, he is not here to defend a city.  "In recent days, the He people have called for formation every day, but there are not enough troops in the city, and there are no tactics to restrain the He people's wild beasts, so they have not fought" Xu Qingzhi said softly after Fang Jie.  In fact, he has been observing Fang Jie along the way. The last time Fang Jie came, he had no direct contact with Fang Jie.  As a fourth-grade general in the Daozhi Governor's Mansion, he naturally had to follow Luo Qiu to receive the imperial envoy, but he only glanced at him from a distance. At that time, he didn't care much about Fang Jie.  But today, he couldn't help but want to take a closer look at the man who was about to take over Yongzhou's military power from him.  "Where are the border troops?" Fang Jie looked back at Xu Qingzhi and asked.  "Originally, when Luo Yao was here, the frontier troops were rotated every year, but since Luo Yao left, the number of frontier troops staying in the border towns has become much smaller. And they are mainly deployed on the Nanyan side, so the He people  After Nanyan Murong Yongduo sent troops to pretend to be a caravan to deceive Baishui City, they directly entered Pingshang Road The border troops in other cities became lone troops, with no more than a thousand people in each city.  If the food road is cut off, it is probably more likely to be a disaster." Xu Qingzhi's answer was very calm, but Fang Jie could find out from his tone.The girl is dissatisfied.  There is no doubt that after Luo Yao left, no one paid attention to the frontier army. Without logistical supplies, one can imagine how miserable the life of those frontier soldiers was.  But even so, no border soldier withdrew from his position until they were all killed in battle.  "Maybe there are still people alive" Fang Jie said in a daze, but Xu Qingzhi didn't understand what he meant.  Xu Qingzhi pointed to the tallest tent in the He camp outside the city: "That should be where King He is. Originally, the He people did not have a King He. Since the Shang Kingdom was destroyed, the He people have been in civil strife.  There were fights almost every day, and the He people were divided into many tribes, each of which had their own affairs. However, Murong Xi of Nanyan met with the chieftain of the He tribe a while ago and proclaimed him King He.  Fang Jie asked.  "Tuhun Duobie" Xu Qingzhi replied: "According to the He people, Tuhun Duobie is a very powerful practitioner and is called a god by the He people. Of course, the He people have a natural fear of big chieftains, so it is also possible  It's a rumor." "Then take it seriously." Fang Jie said casually, then pointed to the most chaotic place in the Heren camp: "That's where the Heren beasts are, right?"  Xu Qingzhi nodded: "There are at least more than 10,000 wild beasts. Those beasts are commanded by 200 wizards, riding elephants and driving the wild beasts with their horns. If there is any way to defeat the He people's beast army, the He people outside  Even if there are millions, it¡¯s not something to be afraid of!¡± ¡°Then just kill it,¡± Fang Jie said in a calm tone, as if he was just squeezing an ant to death.  So Xu Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, not understanding where Fang Jie's faint but strong confidence came from.
