Chapter 576

(I hope the power of the monthly ticket can last longer. If it doesn't last all day long?)

The lights in the hall were very bright, so Fang Xie's displeasure was particularly clear. People sitting in the hall felt a little nervous. They subconsciously lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at Fang Xie's eyes. Even a few generals who won back not long ago were like this. The atmosphere in the hall was a little cold.

Chen Xiaoru, general of Xiaoqi school, knelt in front of Fang Xie on one knee, with his head hanging low.

"Your subordinates are not doing well. Please punish the general!"

He looked up at Fang Xie and quickly lowered his head.

Fang Xie looked at him and said after a moment of silence: "Xiaoqi school was handed over to you by me. Some were born in the bodyguard Office of the University, and some were the elite trained by me. Each of these people has a great weight. Since they have given it to you, I trust you, but this time, you let me down."

Chen Xiaoru hung his head and said, "it's my subordinates' carelessness. My subordinates didn't expect..."

"Unexpectedly?"

Fang Xie interrupted Chen Xiaoru and said coldly, "as a commander, it's incompetent to attribute the fault to the unexpected. If I hear you say these three words again in the future, I'll take your clothes and send them to the coolie camp."

Chen Xiaoru's head dropped lower and dared not argue again.

Fang Xie stood up, walked up to him and looked down at him: "Lu Chuan Gao Beidou, Bo Yang Dou Tiande, kill these two big thieves. You can't help but take the people of Xiaoqi school to cooperate with the army. It's true. Without the intelligence from Xiaoqi school in advance, these two battles can't be so easy to win. Especially when attacking Luchuan County, the personnel of Xiaoqi school sneaked into the city first and robbed the city gate to welcome the cavalry into the city when the army attacked the city. What did you do Especially beautiful. "

"I was going to make the first contribution to your Xiaoqi school, but you're good. Before the reward order I asked Mr. Sun to write was written, Hukou stream turned into a whole team of 50 Xiaoqi schools! I remember you said last time that the thieves in Hukou stream were different from Lu Chuan, Gao Beidou and Boyang Dou Tiande. These two people gathered together, but they didn't know how to lead troops and were not difficult to fight. Although the number of thieves in Hukou stream was small Many, but the military law is strict. Since we already have this understanding, why not be more cautious? "

He looked at Luo Weiran sitting on one side and said, "just yesterday, I praised you in front of Luo commander, saying that he brought out a qualified talent!"

Chen Xiaoru said, "my subordinates are willing to be punished by the great general."

Fang Xie snorted, "I just cut off your head and can save the fifty Xiaoqi schools?"

Chen Xiaoru hung his head and dared not speak.

Sun Kaidao leaned over: "The general calmed down his anger, or because the previous two battles were too smooth, the Xiaoqi School under general Chen was a little contemptuous. Not only he, but also I didn't expect such a group of well-trained bandits in the poor mountains and rivers of Hukou stream. It seems that this man surnamed Mo has a long history. Since General Chen made a mistake, it's better to give him a chance to make amends."

Fang Xie waved his hand and said, "go out and lead the staff of the 20th army!"

Chen Xiaoru quickly got up and bowed back.

Fang Xie went back to his chair and sat down and said: "Fighting Boyang, the Xiaoqi school burned the food and grass of the bandits at night. It did a good job. Fighting Luchuan, the Xiaoqi school sneaked into the county and opened the city gate more beautifully. But knowing that the bandits in Hukou stream were unusual, they sent a team of people to sneak in without preparation. As a result, they were locked inside. The next morning, fifty bodies were hung on the big tree outside Hukou stream, neat!"

His face was a little ugly. It was obvious that he was really angry: "I want to destroy the thief and establish power. I'm afraid those thieves in Hukou stream think so. They rely on the terrain of Hukou stream, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Hanging the corpses of Xiaoqi school on the big tree outside gukou is a deliberate provocation. They just want outsiders to know that they are not afraid of our black flag army!"

Fang Xie listened to the muffled sound of the military staff beating on him outside and sighed: "if it weren't for commander Luo to train the newly recruited soldiers of Xiaoqi school, I really want to take Chen Xiaoru's job. Please commander Luo to lead Xiaoqi school."

"Never"

Luo Weiran quickly stood up and hugged his fist and said, "general, Chen Xiaoru is just a temporary loss. Once, he will never make such a mistake again. Although he worked under me before, he has been working beside the general in recent years. He has worked hard and made great achievements, and he is particularly familiar with the affairs of Xiaoqi school. If I had changed him, he would not have done better."

Fang Xie's face eased a little and said to the outside, "come in and talk after the board!"

Not long after, the two Xiaoqi schools helped Chen Xiaoru back to the hall. Chen Xiaoru broke away from the two Xiaoqi schools and walked back to the hall with his teeth.

"General, give your subordinates a chance to avenge the 50 brothers!"

Fang Xie nodded and said, "it's good to have this ambition. I'll give you another chance. Within seven days, how many troops are there in Hukou stream and the origin of Mo? If you don't know, I don't think you will forgive yourself. Chen Xiaoru... Do you know what I'm most angry about?"

"Subordinates know!"

Chen Xiaoru bit his lips and endured the pain: "my subordinates failed to bring back the bodies of the fifty brothers!"

After the bandits in Hukou stream killed the 50 Xiaoqi schools, they hung on the big tree outside gukou stronghold. Chen Xiaoru didn't want to grab the bodies back, but the bandits in Hukou stream did it on purpose and waited for people to grab the bodies. The place where the corpse is hanging is less than 50 steps away from the wooden wall of the stronghold. There are at least 200 words on the wooden wall waiting for a strong attack crossbow. If the people of Xiaoqi school rob the corpse in the past, they will lose more.

"I once said that the brothers followed me because they believed in me."

Fang Xie said slowly, "if I can't bring their corpses back to the capital and can't be buried, how can I deserve this trust?"

"My subordinates, I'm going to take back the bodies of my brothers!"

Chen Xiaoru knelt down on one knee again and asked for orders: "don't worry, general. If I don't do it this time, I don't need to be punished by the general. My subordinates will end it for themselves."

"Go"

Fang Xie waved his hand: "I want to see how big an immortal is hidden in Hukou stream!"

……

……

Hukou stream is 210 li away from Zhuque mountain. In fact, the two peaks are still branches of Zhuque mountain. Because these two peaks are too tall and towering, they look like the tusks of two fierce tigers, so they are also called Huya mountain by the local people. The canyon between the two mountains is called Hukou stream.

Hukou stream is too narrow, and the widest part of the valley is only 100 meters. The narrower you go inside, the narrowest place is only one or two meters wide, which is called a line of sky. This place is famous for its dangerous terrain. After the bandits in Hukou stream blocked the valley mouth, it was as difficult as heaven to get in. The cliffs on both sides are too steep and have no leverage. It is not easy for the overhaul walker to want to pass.

From choosing this place, we can see that the bandit leader surnamed Mo in Hukou stream is extraordinary. It is said that this man runs the army very strictly and the thief soldiers in Huya stronghold are well-trained. At the beginning, Lu chuangao Beidou wanted to invite him under his command and promised him a three leader position, but his surname was not moved. Gao Beidou was so angry that he personally took five thousand men and horses to attack.

As a result, 5000 people besieged for half a month and lost 16700 people, but they still failed to break through Huya stronghold. Gao Bei was angry and scolded, but there was nothing he could do. Hukou stream was too dangerous. If he attacked hard, his troops could not be deployed. He could only rush forward in batches of 200 or 300 people. The thief soldiers of Huya stronghold were condescending and well-trained. They didn't pay attention to Gao Beidou at all. Half a month after the fierce battle, Gao Beidou had no choice but to take people back to Luchuan county.

A few months ago, the bandits of Huya stronghold went out and robbed a batch of grain from Boyang Dou Tiande, killed four or five hundred bandits in Boyang, completely angered the cruel Dou Tiande and attacked with people and horses. However, like Gao Beidou, there was no way to take Huya stronghold. Dou Tiande scolded outside Huya stronghold, but he was shot through his shoulder by a cold arrow and retreated in embarrassment.

The leader of tiger tooth stronghold surnamed Mo is very calm but publicized. He deliberately provokes two thieves who are far stronger than him. It is estimated that this person is very confident and has no intention of playing the name of tiger tooth stronghold.

After Chen Xiaoru, who had been stabbed by the army, went out, Fang Xie ordered people to bring Dou Tiande, who had been captured alive. The big thief in Boyang County, who has been doing evil for nearly a year, was frightened when he was taken to the Zhuque mountain camp yesterday. Not to mention the strong combat power of Chen Dingnan's Flying Tiger army during the war, he was really frightened by such a large camp after arriving at Zhuque mountain. He had long heard that there was a gang of robbers on Zhuque mountain, but he didn't expect such a scale.

Tens of thousands of cavalry and endless warships on the water.

Where are these robbers? They are clearly a strong army!

So when Dou Tiande, who was ferocious in nature, was brought in, his legs were soft with fear, and he was even more frightened to see the guards standing like nails pressing knives outside the hall. Two brave riders held him tightly and walked into the hall. As soon as they let go, he was paralyzed on the ground.

"Little... Cao min Dou Tiande, I've seen your great generals..."

Dou Tiande's tongue trembled and he didn't dare to see the crowd.

Fang Xie looked at him and asked, "when I first came to Huangyang Road, I heard that there was a big thief named Dou Tiande in Boyang County, who called more than ten thousand thieves to roam the countryside, break down the village and plunder the people. If there is anyone who doesn't follow, you will dig the man's heart out and cook the wine, but this is the case?"

Dou Tiande was so frightened that he got up and kowtowed: "it's nothing. The general, the grass people just resisted with a group of villagers because of the injustice of the county officials. What they did was to benefit the village. How dare they harm the people and even dare not do such evil things as eating people's hearts? The great general, the great general, and the general!"

Fang Xie frowned slightly and said faintly, "palm mouth"

The two Xiaoqi schools set Dou Tiande up. Qilin personally went there and slapped dozens of slaps in the face. Dou Tiande's face was swollen and tall, and his mouth kept bleeding out.

"But for the benefit of the village?"

Fang Xie waved to Kirin to stop.

"The grass people... The grass people have indeed done some evil things. Please be kind to the general."

"I ask you, are you familiar with the bandits in Hukou stream?"

Fang Xie asked.

"Ah?"

Dou Tiande was stunned: "the grass people are not familiar. The origin of Mo in Hukou stream is mysterious. I don't know when he set up a stronghold on Huya mountain. A while ago, he robbed a lot of food from the grass people. The grass people only know that this person has extraordinary martial arts and is very tall. He always covers his face when he travels, so he can't see his face. It sounds like he's from Jiangbei."

"Well"

Fang Xie said, "you are a native of Boyang. You are only a hundred miles away from Huya mountain. What is the only way to enter Hukou stream?"

"That's the only way!"

Dou Tiande nodded like pounding garlic: "there's no other way, unless you go out thousands of miles and enter the canyon from the other side. However, the other side is too narrow to pass by alone, so it's called yixiantian."

"One more thing."

Fang Xie thought for a moment and asked, "did Tian Xin, Xinyang City, ever want to recruit you?"

When Dou Tiande heard these words, he suddenly felt that he smelled a chance to survive. He quickly nodded: "Yes, yes, Tian Xin sent me to take the team to Xinyang city twice, but he only allowed me to be a school captain. The grass people felt that they were bound to go, so they might as well stay in Boyang freely, so they didn't go. But the villain was willing to serve the general. If the general left the grass people's cheap life, the grass people would go through fire and water..."

Before he finished, Fang Xie said, "fork out and take it outside Boyang county. Let the magistrate of Boyang County summon the people. In front of the people, I will take this man's blood to pay tribute to the soldiers who died in the war."

Dou Tiande collapsed in a moment of fear and wanted to cry. He was picked up and pulled out by the fierce cavalry school. The wailing sound spilled all the way, especially bleak.
