Chapter 384

A few days ago, all the 200000 troops in the South Camp of Yongzhou had been pulled out and stationed five miles outside the city of Yongzhou. Half of the more than 100000 troops deployed in the front line of Southern Xinjiang were transferred, 50000 people rushed to Yongzhou to meet, 40000 people were stationed north of Nanyan, and the total strength of the border army was no less than 60000. Nanyan's threat to the great Sui Dynasty is almost negligible. It's good for this small country to protect itself.

Zhan Yao was ordered to stay, and the left avant-garde's troops were under his control. But the number of soldiers stationed here is more than that. Counting the county soldiers in pingshangdao cities, it should not be less than 150000. In terms of military strength, Pingshang road was the most popular route in the Sui Dynasty. The ratio between the number of people and the number of troops has reached an alarming figure.

There are nearly 300000 troops, including nearly 400000 auxiliary and miscellaneous servicemen.

This is the first time in more than ten years that the left avant-garde people have been mobilized on such a scale, and the people of the whole Yongzhou are boiling. Before the expedition, Luo Yao sent people to post a notice announcing that Zuo Qianwei went north to suppress the rebellion. It is said that Luo Yao is leaving, and the people have an impulse to celebrate by shooting.

Over the years, everyone has lived in the shadow of Luo Yao.

Hundreds of thousands of troops were battling outside the city for dozens of miles, and they couldn't see the edge at a glance.

The army set out at an auspicious time. Before starting, Luo Yao personally beheaded the people sent by the rebels and cut off their heads to worship the flag. While Fang Xie was watching, he subconsciously touched his neck and recalled that he was worried about being beheaded by Luo Yao before coming to Yongzhou. Now watching others being cut, I have a very strange feeling in my heart.

He looked at the chopped rebels strangely, and two people looked at him strangely. One is Luo Wen, the son of Luo Yao, and the other is Wen Xiaodao, one of the Ten Heroes of Luo men. Luo Wen now looks at Fang Xie as if he were the enemy who killed his father. Wen Xiaodao looks at Fang Xie as if he were the opponent in the challenge arena.

This time, Luo Yao didn't take Luo Wen with him. You should know that this is a great opportunity to accumulate military merit for your son. At that time, you just need to give Luo Wen some of the battles fought by the left avant-garde, and the imperial court can't fail to promote him. After a battle, the position of general Sipin was easy.

Even if you don't take Luo Wen, it's understandable for him to stay in Yongzhou. But the power is not in his hands, but in Zhan Yao, which has to make people think.

In contrast, Luo Yao's preference for each other's solution has moved people's heart. Fang Xie is just a young man who has just arrived in Yongzhou. Even if he has the status of an imperial envoy, Luo Yao obviously pays too much attention to him. First I wrote to the imperial court to leave this man, and then I sent him a folding camp. Anyway, I transferred more than 1000 war horses yesterday to arm Shanzi camp into a pure cavalry.

Even if the left avant-garde war horse is not scarce, it has been a very abnormal move.

I don't know when, speculation about the relationship between Fang Xie and Luo Yao began to spread among the left avant-garde generals. Someone vowed that the general had a second son more than ten years ago, but I don't know why he lost it. As soon as this speculation came out, it spread unstoppably among people.

Fang Xie also heard some, for which he could only sneer.

Except for Luo Yao's advice, how could this news spread?

He was not interested in this, and even enjoyed it.

The soldiers of Shanzi camp stood behind Fang Xie on horseback, and half of them were black and blue. However, everyone pulled out their chest very high, and their raised jaw showed their pride incisively and vividly. Pure cavalry team, except the light cavalry camp and heavy cavalry camp under the general, can't be found in the left avant-garde!

The road to Huangyang is far away, thousands of miles long. Among other things, cavalry are much more comfortable to walk than infantry. How can the soldiers be unhappy when they ask for war horses in front of the battle. Even though he was a little tougher yesterday, the soldiers had long been in awe of the young general after witnessing him kill less than half of his officers overnight.

"You all know what to do!"

Luo Yao ascended the wall of Yongzhou and looked solemn in the face of the army outside the city. These soldiers are accumulated by him over the years, especially those of the great Sui Dynasty. In Yongzhou, the court's orders may not work. But his words of Luo Yao are the imperial edict here!

"The northwest rebelled and the people were in dire straits! As soldiers of the Sui Dynasty, your duty is to serve the country! As the saying goes, it's time for you to show your blade! Soldiers, from the day everyone puts on their military clothes, who doesn't think when they can show their skills?! the country is peaceful, I wish! The country is in trouble, and the soldiers take the lead! The country The purpose of raising troops is to defend the land and open up the frontier, and to the well-being of the people. Now, some people come to destroy this well-being, and some people covet the rivers and mountains fought by Military Martyrs. Do you agree? "

"No!"

The answer was deafening!

"I won't say much, but I have one request for you... Since I want to go to the battlefield, I can't lose the face of left avant-garde! I Luo Yao have never lost in the war all my life. I'll win or lose this time. You see what you do!"

"The left avant-garde is invincible in the world!"

Zhan Yao roared beside him and burst into the sky.

"The left avant-garde is invincible in the world!"

"The left avant-garde is invincible in the world!"

Shouts come and go, making people excited!

At this moment, Fang Xie was willing to believe that Luo Yao was really a loyal general to the great Sui Dynasty and a respected soldier!

……

……

Fang Xie's Shanzi camp was transferred by Luo Yao and did not belong to any army. So when marching, they followed Luo Yao's direct team. Luo Yao directly commanded the army, including a heavy cavalry battalion of 3000 and a light cavalry battalion of 12000. The infantry of the two armies totaled about 36000 soldiers. Shanziying was once one of the 36000 people, but now it has become the person of fangxie. In terms of the command of the team, Fang Xie directly followed Luo Yao's assignment.

War soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, including nearly 400000 troops, can't go out hundreds of miles with one mouth. From Luo Yao's announcement to his encampment in the evening, some of the teams behind him had not left Yongzhou. It is reasonable to say that such a large number of troops should go hand in hand. But Luo Yao obviously didn't have this idea. The team like a long dragon dragged out very far.

After setting up camp, Zhuo Buyi, dressed in a flying fish robe, entered fangxie's military tent. Cloth clothes no longer wear cloth clothes. He obviously doesn't adapt. But if he appeared in the barracks in cloth clothes, it would doubtless make people suspicious. The flying fish robes and the imperial guards around Fang Xie were still following, including the ten people in the service camp, who were also disguised as the people in the inner guard office.

"Luo Yao enters the army like this..."

Zhuo Buyi sat down and said in a low voice: "Even if I'm a layman in the army, I can see that his goal is not to fight the rebellion. 400000 people and horses do not go in different directions, but pull apart like a long dragon. The people in front go out for a hundred miles, and the subsequent team leaves Yongzhou! It's not like being in a hurry to serve the country. It's obviously a show of posture."

"He went north without waiting for the imperial court's will, which makes people suspicious."

Fangxie low channel: "The imperial court's purpose is to send 100000 elite left avant-garde soldiers to the north and join the imperial army to the northwest. Luo Yao knows that once these 100000 people are separated, it will be extremely difficult to transfer them back. After the war, even if these 100000 people are not filled in the three northwest routes by your majesty as the vanguard, they will eventually be divided into other teams. If there is no accident, if Luo Yao agrees to send 100000 troops This is certainly not the only time. The emperor will dispatch troops for the second and third time... "

"Do you mean that Luo Yao is simply avoiding the emperor's will? Mobilizing a large army to go on an expedition is... Shopping?"

"That's good to say."

Fang Xie nodded: "Luo Yao's mind may be wavering now. He doesn't even know what to do. He doesn't want to go north to consume his troops, but he can't directly oppose the imperial court. Maybe he doesn't want to oppose, but he just wants to keep his strength. Maybe he wants to oppose, but it's not time. No matter what kind, he won't allow his troops to be transferred by the imperial court. So before the imperial edict comes , he must lead the troops out of Yongzhou. "

Fang Xie said in a very low voice, "I've seen that the food supplies brought by the baggage camps of all armies are barely enough for the army to reach Huangyang road at such a marching speed."

"What do you mean?"

Zhuo Buyi doesn't understand.

"I mean, Luo Yao leads soldiers without food. Either he plans to live on local supplies and is reluctant to move his things. Or... He has other purposes."

He turned and unfolded the map, pointing to a place.

"There is Xinkou storehouse in Huangyang road... It is the top ten among many granaries in the Sui Dynasty. The grain storage in the Sui Dynasty is enough for a hundred years. If you only feed an army, Xinkou storehouse will be enough for the left avant-garde for a hundred years."

Zhuo Buyi still didn't understand: "do local officials dare to open granaries privately?"

"I hope not."

Fang Xie shook his head: "I've been too sensitive recently. I think there's a conspiracy in everything. It's a good thing for the imperial court to lead Luo Yao to the north. Even if he's trying to keep his strength, it's actually putting a lot of pressure on the rebels. I'm afraid Li Yuanshan won't sleep if he hears about Zuo Qianwei's going north."

"Wait and see what happens."

Zhuo Buyi sighed and got up to leave.

Fang Xie watched him leave and frowned again. Shen qingfan and Mu Xiaoyao sat down beside him, looked at him, and his locked eyebrows couldn't help asking, "what's the matter?"

"What I'm worried about now is not what will happen to Luo Yao's left avant-garde, but..."

He paused and said, "why didn't Shi Yuan come to me?"

……

……

Outside Yongzhou City

Green bamboo forest

Luo Wen hit the green bamboo with one punch after another, and soon the green bamboo fell down. His eyes were angry, and his clothes were soaked with sweat!

He kept punching!

His changed constitution made him more energetic. His every punch was sharper than before. I have to say that the means of Buddha sect really amazed him. He felt that his body was like an iron body at this time, and no one could break it.

"It's impotent to vent your anger against a bamboo forest."

I don't know when the old monk in white robe appeared behind him.

"What else can I do!"

Rowan turned back and roared at him.

"You can do a lot better than wasting your energy."

Shi Yuan walked slowly over, looked at Luo Wen and said word by word: "I'll come. The first is to see how you face your father's coldness. The second is to tell you something."

"What's up!"

"Birch is dead."

Luo Wen's face suddenly changed, and his pupils contracted instantly: "you... What did you say?"

"Bochi is dead. Fang Xie killed him. Moreover, Fang Xie has learned about you from bochi."

"I... what's my secret..."

"Yes"

Shi Yuan smiled and said, "for example, why is Luo Yao so ruthless to you? Because... You are not his son at all... Luo Wen, you should know that Luo Yao doesn't kill you now. First, he still has feelings for your mother, and second, there is no evidence. But if he finds his real son, he will show mercy to you?"

"You... You mean... Fang Xie?"

"That's right."

Shiyuan said faintly, "you don't want to lose all this that should belong to you, do you? I'll pass on your Buddhist Dharma and let you achieve great success in the shortest time. How about it?"
