Chapter 541

There are always many places in nature that people don't understand. Across a wolf milk mountain, it's early winter in the northwest of the Sui Dynasty. It's too cold to take out your hands. If you pee slowly, you may frostbite your baby. But the winter in the west of langrushan is not as strange as cold. It's actually quite comfortable on windless days.

Fang Xie supervised the soldiers to get used to horseback as soon as possible in addition to training every day. This is the most chaotic period in history, but it is also the most appropriate time in history. Otherwise, the Han people want to live in such a comfortable life on the grassland. Eating beef and mutton and riding Mongolian Yuan war horses are tantamount to Arabian Nights. The veterans of Shanzi camp are particularly proud, because they are all masters now. Everyone has to take dozens of disciples to practice riding.

As long as the war horses, cattle and sheep are offered, Fang Xie will not be difficult for those weak tribes, so the grassland people and the Han people get along well. Even the brave herdsmen will sit on the high slope and watch the Han soldiers climb up the horse's back clumsily and fall down quickly, ha ha and laugh.

Although they gave part of their wealth, they did not get nothing. Because of this powerful Han Army, the horse thieves who became more and more rampant a while ago became much more honest.

Wherever Fang Xie goes, the white lion will follow him. Fang Xie has gradually got used to having such a huge creature around him as his entourage, and when the herdsmen saw the legendary fierce white lion following the Han general, they became more and more awed and even frightened of the Han man named Fang Xie.

The influence of Buddhism has lasted for thousands of years on the grassland, and the herdsmen believe in the ominous rumors of the white lion. By the way, they also took fangxie as a murderer. Some people even swear that this solution is the reincarnation of the great devil suppressed by the Ming King thousands of years ago. His appearance is to revenge.

At first, the herdsmen thought that such a ferocious and cruel man would set off a bloody storm on the grassland, but later they found that the young and handsome man had a good temper and was always easy-going.

"General, the soldiers are still not used to riding and shooting."

Sun Kaidao pointed to the soldiers who were training and said, "when you shoot a bow and arrow on a bumpy horse, you have to hit the target accurately. Men on the grassland have trained since they can climb on the horse. They are less than ten years old. But most of our people still climb up the war horse at one time. They can't be qualified light cavalry in a short time."

Knowing what sun Kaidao meant, Fang Xie smiled and walked down the slope. He rode a white lion to the cavalry training ground. He asked for a hard bow and a pot of feather arrows. When he stopped in front of the crowd, he shouted: "It took me only one month from the first time I touched the bow to hit the bull's-eye 50 steps away, and then it took me three months to hit the target easily on the galloping horse. So don't tell yourself from your heart that you can't do it... People are the same. Mengyuan people also have two arms and two legs. Can they do it?"

Fang Xie pointed to his head and said, "what's more, Mengyuan people are worse than you."

The soldiers burst into laughter.

Fang Xie urged the white lion to fire seven arrows in a row, and the arrows hit the red heart.

"I know you used to shoot arrows at the enemy after standing firm. But now you are cavalry. Wouldn't you be ashamed if you can't shoot arrows on horseback? First of all, you need to know what the advantage of cavalry is. When we have to fight the enemy back to the Central Plains in the future, you will fly by the enemy's flank like a horse and turn them over with feather arrows The arrows they shoot can't catch up with your speed. "

"You should remember one thing. The better you practice, the greater your chances of surviving on the battlefield and the greater the possibility of the enemy dying."

"From now on."

Fangxie channel: "You people who are the leaders of the long brigade of Wu Changshi should be careful. If you are not the first batch of people who are good at riding and shooting, your position will be replaced by those who are better than you. You all start from scratch and compete fairly. If you want to keep your position, you should be familiar with the horseback earlier than your men. And soldiers, each of you has the opportunity to become a new Wu Changshi Long trip rate! "

The soldiers burst into cheers at once, while the junior officers looked worried.

Seeing their expressions, Fang Xie said: "Why, are you afraid? If you are afraid, you don't have to compete. Go to the captain who leads the team and say you quit! If you do so, will you look down on yourself in the future? You become an officer because you do better than your soldiers in infantry! But now you are no longer infantry. If you don't do well enough, why should you occupy an officer "Where are you?"

"Go"

Fang Xie said loudly, "in three months, I will personally supervise the competition of each battalion. At that time, I will directly promote whoever performs the best as a school captain!"

"The general is mighty!"

The soldiers cheered and the atmosphere became particularly warm.

Fang Xie came down from the white lion and strode up the high slope. Sun Kaidao said with a smile, "in this way, I'm afraid the five chiefs below won't feel comfortable."

Fang Xie said, "if you want to be comfortable, show your skills. Everyone under my command has the opportunity to become an officer. It depends on whether you work hard."

"Where are the northern barbarians?"

He asked after throwing the hard bow to the soldiers around him.

"The scouts reported that the northern barbarians entered the grassland from the north of langrushan. Now they are in sele banner. Sele banner is a grassland in the northeast of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty. Because it is remote, it has not been affected by the civil war of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty. The leader of sele banner LED troops to obey the dispatch of the king's court, but there are many soldiers left in the flag. It is not easy for the northern barbarians to stand on the grassland by relying on the stone hammer and wooden stick in their hands."

Fang Xie said, "fan Gucheng should send news today. Why hasn't he arrived yet."

Sun Kaidao thought for a moment and said, "the emperor was recruiting and expanding troops in Jinyang. He sent people to fan Gu three times to ask the garrison to bring a message to the grand general. The grand general hasn't answered. It is estimated that the emperor will send people to obstruct the transmission of news between fan Gu Cheng and us."

"The means are getting worse and worse."

Fang Xie shook his head.

Sun Kaidao said: "It's just a disgusting means. The emperor doesn't dare to start a war easily now. The longer he delays in the northwest, the worse it will be for him. Luo Yao has already entered the south of the Yangtze River. Gao Kaitai's men and horses occupied Hedong road and then invaded Suyuan road and are close to the hinterland of the Central Plains. The emperor can hold on to the disease until now. He's not worried about the chaos of the crown prince's young courtiers and wants to go back to help..."

"After winter, it is estimated that the emperor will start fighting against Gao Kaitai. But..."

Sun Kaidao thought for a moment and said, "the flying fish robe under Chen Xiaoru inquired about the news that the emperor has almost collapsed these days. He can't even walk by himself. Su Buwei pushes him in a wheelchair. Maybe... The emperor can't wait for spring."

Fang Xie shook his head: "sometimes think about the stability of the Yang family's world. How can we say chaos and scatter?"

"Stability is just what it looks like on the surface..."

Sun Kaidao sighed: "The Sui Dynasty was founded more than a hundred years ago. The attitude of the royal family of the Yang family towards the following people was to allow them to target and weaken each other. There was no trust among courtiers and secretly slander each other. Over the past 100 years, the contradiction between the old and new nobles was provoked by the Yang family. With the help of those meritorious officials who founded the country, they suppressed the aristocratic families of the previous dynasty and the people of the previous dynasty The aristocratic family checks and balances meritorious officials. "

"There are always contradictions, but the Yang family is strong enough to hold it down. The successive emperors of the Sui Dynasty have not produced a weak one and are able to balance the forces of all parties. But now, the emperor is seriously ill and dying, the crown prince is young, and the people the Emperor trusts most who can be regarded as orphan ministers are actually unreliable, not to mention others?"

Fang Xie nodded: "how does the military division think it can be solved?"

Sun Kaidao shook his head slowly: "my subordinates only know the way of being ministers..."

Fang Xie sighed, thinking that it was so hard to be an emperor, not to mention that he had to deal with so many complicated affairs every day, but only how to balance the ministers under him, racking his brains may not be able to do well.

He sat down on the high slope and looked at the soldiers below. All he thought about was such a problem, which he would never consider in the past. Perhaps it was because he was a little bored, but he thought a lot. The more he thought about it, Fang Xie found that he had to admire the Yang family.

From the founding of the country to the present, by means of checking and balancing the ministers of the Yang family, if there was a waste emperor, I was afraid that the government would have been in a mess.

……

……

Because the days were so comfortable that the soldiers realized that it was time for the new year. The past few months passed too quickly. Their life was full and fun. After daily training, they returned to the camp to rest. They didn't have to worry about what kind of enemies to face, so they were particularly relaxed.

By the time Fang Xie achieved such accomplishments, he didn't care about the alternation of cold and warm.

The soldiers put on thick cotton padded clothes, but he was still just a single robe. Therefore, he looked tall and straight.

Since these days, people in flying fish robes have been trying to infiltrate the king's court, but it's very difficult to do so because of their appearance and language. Chen Xiaoru's position in the Imperial Guard Office was not high, but only a hundred households, so he didn't know how many people were arranged to sneak in Mengyuan. Zhuo Buyi's position was not low, but he would never ask Luo People who do such things.

So up to now, none of the bodyguards in Inner Mongolia can use fangxie.

Those people may know that he is in Mandu banner, but no one wants to expose them because of their concern about the situation. The chaos of the great Sui Dynasty and the civil war between Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty let them see an opportunity to be ordinary people. As long as they don't stand up, they can maintain their familiar life. They can put aside their identity of flying fish robe and don't have to worry anymore.

There is no reliable news, not even news.

Fang Xie could not predict what would happen if Prince Zhong and Xiang qingniu went to the snow mountain. He knew that the Ming king was seriously injured, but an old monster with a thousand years of practice really didn't leave some means to protect his life. If the Ming king was such a person, how could he become the only one for thousands of years?

Yes, today's Buddhism is the weakest Buddhism in history, and now the Ming king is the weakest Ming king in history.

But Fang Xie always felt that the road for the loyal prince to kill the Ming king would not be so smooth.

There is also the mysterious big free heavenly statue. It is said that he is the first person under the Ming king if he doesn't go out of the big wheel temple. But this is too vague. Fang Xie doesn't know how strong the Ming king is, so he can't guess how strong the great freedom is.

More and more people were sent out, but they still got nothing.

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, when the soldiers were ready to spend the first spring festival on the grassland, the Rangers patrolling 30 miles outside the camp found a black spot in the distance and moving slowly. They were immediately alert and fanned out.

When they got close, they found that it was a fat man with a dull face.

He walked mechanically, his lips were dry and his clothes were broken. The boots are gone, and the feet are black and covered with soil. His face is very bad, and I don't know how many days he hasn't taken a bath. A few meters away, bad smell can rush into people's nose. Messy hair, like a chicken nest.

But there was a clean jade belt around his waist, and he held it with one hand.

End to end.
