Asking for monthly votes Chapter 639 Never give up until death Ever since Fang Jie beat up the late Yongzhou soldiers and generals that night, he has not convened people to discuss matters. Of course, some people also went to Luo Qiu, the governor of Pingshang Dao, in private, but Luo Qiu did not discuss the beating of the Yongzhou general in private. Instead, he made it clear in front of all Pingshang Dao officials that Fang Jie was right to fight! And he strictly ordered all officials of Pingshangdao, whether they were civil servants or military generals, to obey Fang Jie's orders unconditionally. If someone neglected their duties or deliberately slacked off and shied away, he would not be punished by Fang Jie. He would be the first to refuse. This surprised all Pingshangdao officials. They thought that Luo Qiu's enthusiasm for Fang Jie was just superficial. Fang Jie was just a life-saving straw for Yongzhou now. Who would take one after the flood receded? Is this straw serious? But now it seems that Luo Qiu is not using Fang Jie as straw at all, but as an offering to God. And Fang Jie¡¯s subsequent performance also made the generals of the Yongzhou soldiers even more dissatisfied. The day after he beat up the generals of Yongzhou soldiers, Fang Jie went out of the city under the pretext of leading his cavalry to familiarize themselves with the terrain of Yongzhou. He did not go to the south of the city to familiarize himself with it, but to the north of the city where there were no enemies. The genius came back with his troops and didn't shoot a single arrow, but the cavalry still looked arrogant. On the third day, when the generals of the Yongzhou soldiers endured the pain and went to the big tent to click Mao, they were told that the general and the cavalry had gone out of the city again to familiarize themselves with the terrain, and they went to the north of the city. In the afternoon of that day, news spread that Fang Jie was not familiar with the terrain at all. After he led the cavalry out of the city, he asked the cavalry to find a place to rest, and he took the people to the river to fish, sitting there for a whole day. On the fourth day, it was still the same. On the fifth day, even Luo Qiu couldn't sit still. The other people who went out to the city to meet Tuhun Duo a few days ago have already finalized the date and place of the meeting. According to Fang's explanation, the time will be ten days from that day. As for the location, Tuhun Duobie chose the Heren camp as expected. The date has been set, and the location is naturally inappropriate, but Luo Qiu can't find a way to discuss it. Fang Jie seemed to be avoiding everyone on purpose and went fishing outside the city every day. Even though Luo Qiu firmly believed that Fang Jie was not really going for fun, he still couldn't understand what Fang Jie was planning. In desperation, he had no choice but to go find Fang Jie at night. When he arrived outside the door, the Xiao Riding School who was guarding outside invited him in very politely, but the person who received him was not Fang Jie, but Zhang Xi, a civil servant under Fang Jie. This man was once a county magistrate under Zhuque Mountain. Because of his excellent official reputation, he was recruited by Fang Jie. This man is already in his fifties. If the Great Sui Dynasty is peaceful and stable, no accident will happen. He will continue to serve as the county magistrate until the old man has to retire, but he will not go any further. This person is straightforward and will not flatter others. That is to say, he is an official in Hwangyang Province. If he had not been able to say so in Gyeonggi Province, he would have been fooled to death. "Where is the general?" Luo Qiu couldn't help but ask after waiting for a while. "The General said" Zhang Xi was a little embarrassed to speak, and he was even more troubled when he saw Luo Qiu's eyes staring at him. After being silent for a while, he sighed and said straightforwardly: "The General is not in the mansion." "Ah. ?" Luo Qiu was stunned: "Where is he? I'm going to find him." "He can't be found" "The general is not in Yongzhou City at all!" "How is that possible?" Don't lie to me. In the past few days, many people in the city have watched the general lead his troops out every day. Some people have seen him fishing by the river in the north of the city. But you told me that he is not in Yongzhou Could it be that there is something under my rule? What makes the general uncomfortable? Even so, he doesn't need to hide from me! If you have anything, just discuss it with me." "No!" Zhang Xi waved his hand quickly: "My lord, I have misunderstood. In fact, the general had left Yongzhou three days ago. The person who led the troops out every day in the past few days was the general Xiahou Baichuan. He wore the general's clothes and was escorted by the general's personal soldiers, so people thought he was the general. Go out of the city every day" "On the first day, the general left the city with 20,000 cavalry. When he came back, there were only 17,000 cavalry. On the second day, there were 20,000 cavalry out of the city. When he came back, it was still the same. Seventeen thousand men and horses. On the third day, General Xiahou pretended to be a general and led his troops out of the city. He came back with 17,000 men and horses. On the fourth day, he went out with 17,000 men and horses. The troops came back. It was still the same on the fifth day" "That is to say, on the third day, the general had already left Yongzhou with nine thousand Qingqi."bsp; Luo Qiu's face changed: "Where has he gone?" "I don't know, I don't know." Zhang Xi was afraid that Luo Qiu didn't believe it: "I really don't know, I don't know, not to mention that I don't know, even the generals in the army don't know. People know. The general arranged it like this to hide it from others and prevent others from seeing that he led his troops away. How could the general tell the people below so easily? " Luo Qiu thought for a moment. I know what Zhang Xi said is right. Fang Jie used this trick so beautifully. The cavalry went out with 20,000 and came back with 17,000. If the team was spread out, it would not be visible at all. After several days in a row, he secretly brought out a cavalry force of nearly ten thousand people. And in order to ensure that others didn't know that Fang Jie had left, people pretended to be him leading troops out every day. "Where is your wife?" Luo Qiu suddenly thought of the women around Fang Jie. It was expected that they must know. "Who?" Zhang Xi asked subconsciously, then shook his head: "You can't see any of them, because all the ladies have gone out of the city with the general The general told me before leaving that on the fifth You will come to the house at night in the morning and ask me to wait. No matter what you ask, please answer truthfully. I have not left the concierge this evening as ordered by the general. As expected, you have really come." Luo Qiu was shocked. , what shocked me was that one day, Fang Jie was plotting against him. "What else did he order?" Luo Qiu asked. "The general gave orders to his subordinates, saying that you can go back in peace, my lord. The general will definitely come back before the date agreed with the Barbarian King, and will bring a surprise for the people in Yongzhou City. The general said that the morale in the city is low now, and this cannot be done. Go down, you need to do something to boost morale." Luo Qiu sighed, stood up and waved his hands: "Forget it Since he doesn't want people to know, I don't need to ask anymore." Where is Fang Jie going ¡ ¡ ¡ The team walked through the night, walking quietly, the birds in the trees were not awakened, and the clouds in the sky were still floating leisurely. This is a cavalry team of nearly ten thousand people, swimming forward like a giant python close to the ground. The horse's hooves are covered with thick leather and its mouth is covered with a bit so that it cannot make any sound. But even such a silent marching team exudes a strong murderous aura. About five miles in front of this cavalry, there were elite scouts in a team of thirty people. Their role is to clean up the enemy scouts in front of the large group of people, and they cannot expose the whereabouts of the large group of people. These teams of scouts were obviously well-trained, and it was extremely simple to kill enemies who were also scouts in the dark. They crossed each other and combed back and forth to ensure that no enemy was missed. When dots of fire appeared in front of them, the scout team stopped, and then sent out people to report to the group. The scout leader dismounted, hid himself behind a high slope and looked at the lights ahead. It was a camp that stretched for several miles. Judging from the lights, there should be no less than 30,000 people in the camp. And in the middle of this sparkle, there is a square of black. "This is Nanyan's follow-up reinforcements. We bypassed Murong Yongduo's team and crossed over. The Nanyan people never expected that we were here According to the intelligence we had inquired about before, although this Nanyan army has a large number of people, There are not many veterans because the Nanyan army advanced too fast and Murong Shai hastily organized follow-up reinforcements. It is also because Murong Yongduo rushed forward too fast and left many cities behind that were not attacked. The reinforcements are responsible for cleaning up these cities. " He said a few words in a low voice, pointed at the camp and said: "Go down to the two teams and see if there are any hidden sentries. If there are any, clear them out. At most, half of them will be cleared. General Shi's men will be able to come up. If we delay setting foot on the camp tonight, my head won't be strong enough, let alone yours!" His scouts responded, and the two teams were quietly heading towards the camp. Touched it. About half an hour later, the scout leader heard the noise and looked back, and found that the cavalry brigade had followed. He immediately got up and went to meet them. "General, everything has been cleaned up. Nan Yan's reinforcements never imagined that we would directly intervene here." This person is none other than Chen Xiaoru. "Yeah." Fang Jie pulled the black scarf up from his neck to cover his nose, took out the Chaolu knife from his back, and then patted the white lion on the head: "People in the prairie say that you will appear wherever there is war. You may have to change it after you follow me Wherever you go, there will be war." He stretched out his sword and said, "Step into the camp!" As the horn sounded, the cavalry following the white lion began to speed up. The distance was less than one and a half miles, which was almost the same as no distance at the speed of the light cavalry. If Fang Jie hadn't deliberately controlled his speed, the white lion would have broken away from the large group of people and rushed into the Nanyan army camp. Fang Jie urged the white lion to leap over the fence. As the white lion leaped in, red flames burst out from the fence, and soon burned a gap in the wooden wall of Nan Yan's army. The Black Flag Army's light cavalry rolled in like a stroke from the burned gap, and then sent out the ignited arrows in their hands, and soon the flames began to spread in the camp. "Enemy attack!" "Enemy attack!" It wasn't until the Black Flag Army broke in that the Nanyan Army reacted. It's not that they are extremely weak, but it's because there would never be an enemy in this area. The soldiers rushed out of the tent in a panic, not even having time to put on their leather armor. A soldier emerged from the tent. A black shadow flashed in front of him, and blood spurted out from his neck. He fell softly without even seeing the light of the sword. After the Black Flag Army cavalry broke into the camp, they rushed forward. Amidst the panicked shouts of the Nanyan soldiers, the cavalry moved forward in regiments as if they were rakes, cutting down the fleeing Nanyan soldiers. The cavalry drove away the defeated Nanyan soldiers and attacked the camp behind them. In less than an hour, the elite cavalry of the Black Flag Army actually killed and penetrated the Nanyan Army camp. Fang Jie urged the white lion to rush to the center of the camp, where the darkness could be seen from a distance. This is a border town. Even the torches couldn't be lit, so you can imagine how miserable the city was already! "Are there any living border troops in the city? I am Fang Jie, the general of the imperial reinforcements. I am leading my army to rescue you!" He raised his head and shouted loudly. "Yes!" A group of people immediately stood up on the city wall: "We are still there! As long as they don't die, the border troops will never abandon the border city!" The voice was hoarse, but it had a clanking sound! Hearing this sentence, Fang Jie¡¯s heart was shaken!
