When Li Xiaozong had more than two hundred holes in his body, he looked like he was already in pieces. But he could only cry helplessly and hopelessly, and could not even dodge. His body was fixed by an invisible force, as if it was pressed there by a powerful devil, and he had no ability to resist at all.
"Please..."
Li Xiaozong's mouth twitched and said.
He looked at Fang Xie with pleading and deep fear.
He should have been a promising new general in the Sui Dynasty. Although he didn't rank top three in the martial arts academy, Zhou banchuan's evaluation of him was that if he didn't die early, he might become the youngest governor of the Empire! This comment is even higher than the top three of that term.
Zhou banchuan looks at people very accurately. Li Xiaozong's accomplishments may not be able to enter the top three, but his heart is so deep that he can't compare with the top three in those years. How big an official is is never measured by accomplishments. His heart was calm enough, and he was born a politician.
If there had been no rebellion in the northwest, the great Sui Dynasty had now won the Mongolian Yuan Manchu flag. As a pioneer, Li Xiaozong has made great contributions.
If it goes well, he will be transferred to the capital for a while. Press his determination after great achievements, and then seal him as a local official. He will have two choices. One is to become a general among the first guard soldiers. After more than ten or twenty years, he has the hope of becoming one of the 16th guard generals, but it is very slim. Second, to be a local official, with his credit, he can make up for the real shortage of the fourth grade sheriff. After a few years of boiling, he may have really answered Zhou banchuan's prediction and become the youngest frontier official of the Empire.
But now, he is so humble.
Before that, he never thought that one day he would be abused by one of his original men. When Fang Xie was in fan Gu, he rewarded the Deputy officer of the Scout team. Just three years later, when the person he arbitrarily ordered stood in front of him again, he was already so unattainable.
It was like a mountain rising from the ground, which filled him with a sense of powerlessness.
When the holes in his body exceeded 1500, he had become numb. At this time, he could not tell where the hole was. One of his arms and one of his legs had been blown off a little, and the devil was still counting patiently. Each blow accurately tore off a piece of meat from him, no more, no less. He is numb, and his killers are numb. But Fang Xie is still killing him seriously. If he is serious, he will be slow.
How long does it take to kill a man?
With each blow, Li Xiaozong's body trembled. After 2500 bombardments, his only leg disappeared.
Fang Xie is like a demon without feelings. His cold persistence is still counting.
At this time, the soldiers who were watching were frightened and even sympathized with Li Xiaozong. Most people don't understand why this young general, who looked very beautiful before, should treat a defeated enemy so cruelly. Someone began to shout, kill him, kill him. But Fang Xie still went his own way and ignored those cries. He was like a machine, repeating his attacks.
Cui Zhongzhen beat the war drum and pressed down the shouts of the soldiers.
"No one can shout any more! You can't understand the cry of 3000 wronged souls!"
He shouted, then threw the drumstick aside: "if it were me, I would do the same!"
In order not to let the soldiers misunderstand that Fang Jie was too cruel, he stood on the high platform and told Li Xiaozong about fan Gu. The soldiers listened quietly, and the hatred that had disappeared in their eyes appeared again. Fan Gu died not only more than 2000 people, but also 800 border troops.
Those soldiers are Li Xiaozong's men. Similarly, as soldiers, soldiers feel the sadness and hatred of each other at this time. What soldiers hate most and fear most is being betrayed by their colleagues. The Li family seems to be very good at doing such things. Li Yuanshan sold 700000 troops and Li Xiaozong sold 800 tongpao.
The scene gradually became quiet. The soldiers surrounded Fang Xie, silently watched the young man who was carrying too much hatred, and used his way to vent his hatred. In the end, everyone began to count together with Fang Xie, neat and loud.
"Two thousand nine hundred sixty-six!"
"Two thousand nine hundred sixty-seven!"
"Two thousand nine hundred sixty-eight!"
"Two thousand nine hundred sixty-nine!"
"Oh!"
When the last blow broke Li Xiaozong's heart, the soldiers burst into cheers. At this time, Li Xiaozong still had his last breath. Perhaps it was because Fang Xie could maintain his heart pulse with internal strength, so that he didn't die prematurely.
The last meaning in his eyes is unwilling, strong unwilling.
Maybe it's because of his unwillingness to die.
When Fang Xie's last blow blew a hole in Li Xiaozong's chest, the red light in his eyes gradually faded down. When the clenched fist loosened, the red awn finally dissipated completely. Seeing this scene, Shen qingfan and others who had been carrying their hearts were finally relieved.
"If you can reincarnate, don't forget me."
Fang Xie stretched out his hand and opened it. There was a flame slowly agglutinating in the palm of his hand. But this fire is very different from the previous golden flame. It is almost a normal color, but it looks more red.
The flame floated out of Fang Xie's palm and fell on Li Xiaozong.
Suddenly, the flame rose as quickly as boiling oil. Li Xiaozong, wrapped by the fire, slowly closed his eyes. He seemed to have lost his pain.
"Why?"
He asked before he died.
Fang Xie looked at the flame and said word by word, "kill again."
……
……
In the military tent, the generals looked at Fang Xie with fear and respect, which was a little complicated. The fear lies in the shocking terrorist strength that Fang Xie showed when he killed Li Xiaozong. They are all experienced generals and know what it means to fight a Fu division, especially when Li Xiaozong is a double cultivation of Fu and Wu. But in front of Fang Xie, there was no room to fight back from beginning to end.
As for respect, it is because Fang Xie bears the hatred. Soldiers value righteousness, especially those who have been on the battlefield together. They all regard their colleagues as their brothers. Ordinary people can't understand how deep their feelings are for their companions who can safely hand over their backs on the battlefield.
revenge
If any of them were changed, they would have such a mind.
The king of Xujun is dead and Li Xiaozong is dead. At this time, the person sitting in the handsome position of the big tent naturally becomes Mou Liangbi. The Shangshu of the Ministry of war, who has suffered a lot of official fortune, has not completely calmed down. Fang Xie's means of killing Li Xiaozong was not cruel, but Mou Liangbi didn't feel too much. He was just shocked by the process.
Fang Xie sat on his left, looked at his hands and said nothing. Cui Zhongzhen sat on the right side of Mou Liangbi, glancing at Fang Xie from time to time, as if thoughtful.
"General Fang is the imperial envoy appointed by your majesty to supervise the war. I think... If he is willing to stay, you won't object to him accepting this army."
Mou Liangbi said tentatively, and then looked at Fang Xie. It was not just him. As soon as this sentence was spoken, everyone present couldn't help looking at Fang Xie. But Fang Xie didn't seem to hear what Mou Liangbi said at all, and was still trapped in his own meditation.
"General Fang"
Mou Liangbi called him.
"General Fang?"
After calling twice in succession, Fang Xie came out of that ethereal state. He looked at Mou Liangbi and smiled apologetically: "sorry, I'm distracted."
"Everyone is waiting for your opinion."
"What do you think?"
Fang Xie asked.
"I mean, since you are the imperial envoy sent by your majesty to supervise the war, you should be in charge of the military affairs now. Sheriff Xu mentioned to me more than once that you are the young general he most appreciates. General Cui and you are close friends, and he has no objection to your commanding the army."
"No"
Fang Xie shook his head: "The purpose of my coming here has already been explained. The reason why I came out from the left avant-garde is already known. I can't see Luo Yao's mind thoroughly. It's said that he is an imperial envoy in charge of the war, but I can't help the mobilization of the left avant-garde's troops. In fact, I took people and horses to join the Lord because I'm afraid of Luo Yao killing me. Unfortunately, the LORD was killed. I'm familiar with the army in terms of seniority and prestige I understand that I can't undertake this important task. Before I leave, my people and I are willing to follow the instructions of Master Mou and will never prevaricate. "
Fang Xie stood up and hugged the generals in the reconciliation: "Li Xiaozong said I'm here to seize power. I know the generals don't believe him. But if I really take this burden, can I lead the team to victory? Let's not say, the soldiers are more dissatisfied. The combat effectiveness of an army is based on unity. If we don't trust each other and have more suspicion, even the elite of a hundred battles will become fragile."
"For the sake of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, I absolutely can't accept Lord Mou's proposal. I haven't commanded so many men and horses, and I'm not as experienced as your generals. On the battlefield, experience can often play a decisive role. If the generals don't give up, I'm willing to stay here and be the vanguard. As long as I fight against the rebels and Mongolian Tartars, my men and horses are willing to rush ahead 。”
The generals of the Sui army looked at each other and no one spoke. Although they were awed by each other, they were not very confident that they really wanted to hand over the command of the team to Fang Xie. They did not understand Fang Xie. As Fang Xie said, a person without military experience suddenly led tens of thousands of troops, which was likely to lead the team to destruction.
Fang Xie looked back at Mou Liangbi and said, "only Master Mou will follow!"
Those generals also stood up and hugged and said, "only Master Mou will follow!"
Mou Liangbi refused again and again, but the generals insisted, and he couldn't refuse. After the big debt, Cui Zhongzhen took Fang to a place where no one was, and said eagerly, "Lord Mou and I have discussed to ensure that you are the commander of the three armed forces, but you yourself refused. It's a good opportunity to hold this team in your hand. How can you give up so easily!"
"Although I have this heart, I really don't have this strength."
Fang Xie shook his head: "What I said in the big tent is not hypocritical, but to tell the truth. I don't know about this team. If I rashly accept an army of tens of thousands of people, can I convince the public? Let's not mention it for the moment. Even if those soldiers are willing to follow me, as long as I make a mistake, people's hearts will disperse immediately. Princess Xu is dead and Li Xiaozong is dead. The soldiers are in a state of unconsciousness, and I'm at this time If you sit in a handsome chair, it will be difficult for the army to settle down! "
Cui Zhongzhen sighed: "but..."
Fang Xie waved his hand: "there's nothing but. Now is the best situation, isn't it? Li Xiaozong is dead. As long as the people loyal to him are eliminated, the army will become more pure than ever. Isn't it the same whether it's under the command of Master Mou, you or me?"
Cui Zhongzhen nodded: "in that case, I won't persuade you. You're right. After fighting several beautiful battles, the soldiers will naturally be convinced of you!"
He patted Fang Xie on the shoulder and said with a smile, "the most important thing is that you and my brothers can finally fight side by side!"
