Chapter 494 Wait and See

The bitter cold in the northwest finally came to an end, and spring, which came two months later than the Central Plains, seemed to creep in overnight. Although the wind was still blowing from the north, it seemed a lot milder. The climate seemed to be warming up all of a sudden, and even the winter clothes could not be worn. Although the place in the northwest is desolate, the scenery is worthy of the eight characters of sky, clouds, and mountains.

When Fang Jie climbed up the low mountain and lay in the grass, he suddenly found that under the thick layer of grass, he didn't know when a new layer of furry green had been drilled, which was so eye-catching compared with the yellow and dry grass. He Can't help but glance at the ordinary weeds and see the flourishing prosperity.

The low mountain is currently controlled by the rebels, but not heavily guarded. Fang Xie brought in a few subordinates who were good at it, in order to observe the situation outside Xiping City.

The two sides have been fighting outside the city for more than ten days. Although the army of the imperial court did not have an advantage in strength, it completely suppressed the rebels in momentum. Faced with the elite rebels gathered from all directions, these brave men who were still holding a **** and sickle for farming more than a year ago had no fear.

Because they had seen the hope of victory, because His Majesty the Emperor was beside them.

This low mountain is only a dozen miles away from Xiping City, and five miles below the mountain is a rebel camp.

For three consecutive days, Fang Xie brought people to the mountain every day to observe the war. There are not many rebels on the mountain, and it is not difficult for them to explain their cultivation in order to hide those rebel soldiers. He took a thousand miles to watch the two torrents intertwined outside Xiping City, his face calmed down.

People who have experienced wars will have a serious attitude towards war. People may laugh at the battlefield as a story after tea, but soldiers who come from the **** sea of ​​corpses will calmly talk about the past years. With a different kind of sadness.

Even if the winner, why not lose something?

It can be seen that the battle between the imperial court and the horse is about to be won again. The so-called rebels are actually not fundamentally more powerful than those of the imperial court. They are only better equipped than ordinary rebels. No advantage at all. The morale of these brave consecutive battles was as good as the rainbow, and the generals around the emperor were far better than the generals under His Majesty Li Yuanshan, so the war that occurred every day was the victory of the court.

Occasionally, the rebels took advantage, but they could not save the decadent morale.

"Another Battalion"

Wan Yan Chongde lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Li Yuanshan's reinforcements will not be available, but his defeat will only happen sooner or later. In the past three days, the Emperor Sui's army has already defeated three rebel camps, and the rebels outside the city are scattered. Sand also lacks mutual support, so if this continues, morale will completely collapse. "

Fang Xie nodded: "It's not the last time, don't forget that Li Yuanshan still has at least 60,000 people who are truly elite. Those soldiers who used to be Da Sui You Xiaowei are far from comparable to other rebels. However, in the past few days of observation, I did not see a flag of a soldier on the side of the court, indicating that the emperor was brave. With the 60,000 elite in his hand, Li Yuanshan might not be able to stop the court even if he wanted to walk. "

The situation on the front of the battlefield was clear. Without the support of the rebels in other battalions, the rebels in this battalion were destroyed by the court.

Fang Xie turned over and lay down in the grass, no longer watching the battle: "The flying fish robes and scouts sent out have not yet returned. We don't know where the Mongolian barbarian cavalry and Luo Yao's left-back have gone. This battle Still full of variables. "

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty should be well-informed."

Wan Yan Chongde said for a while and said silently: "Although I haven't met him, I know he is a very wise and great monarch. Such a supreme master of the Central Plains world, has prepared all the preparations before doing anything. ... "

Fang Jie knew that Yan Chongde was right. People like the emperor would not be confused even if they fell ill. Even if the emperor had the kind of desolation that killed Li Yuanshan before his death, Fang Jie did not believe that the emperor would be willing to suffer. In the eyes of the emperor Here, his life is not Li Yuanshan's life.

"Let's keep waiting?"

Wan Yan Chongde asked.

"Keep waiting"

Fang Jie nodded.

He lay in the grass and looked at the blue and blue sky, thinking in his mind what was possible. Up to now, in fact, the development of things has exceeded Fang Xie's prediction on Langru Mountain. When he led his troops, he did not expect that in the final battle, he could not see the Mongolian wolf rider and the shadow of Luo Yao.

Are the wolf riders waiting and watching from somewhere, or have they joined the war in unknown places?

Where did Luo Yao's hundreds of thousands of troops go?

He was lying there, and suddenly he found a huge birdhouse on a tree not far away, and he didn't know what the wild bird's home was. A few birds croaked out of the birdhouse, waiting for the parents Come back for food. A python who just woke up from hibernation climbed up the trunk, and it seemed that the target was exactly the nest of birds waiting to be fed.

Seeing this scene, Fang Jie's eyes suddenly flashed.

"I know……"

He sat up, picked up a small stone and flicked it. The stone was slamming on the head of the python like a slap, and the thick-armed python twitched and fell off the tree.

"what did you say?"

Wan Yan Chongde asked.

Fang Xie glanced over the battlefield and murmured: "Luo Yao has no interest in the emperor. Maybe he already knows the emperor's serious illness, so this time he came to the northwest to do something like that, and show it to Li Yuanshan as the emperor. See, only in this way, the emperor and Li Yuanshan will be assured to act in accordance with their own arrangements. But Luo Yao did not intend to reconcile in the northwest, he came only to promote this ending earlier. Once the emperor Forming a decisive battle with Li Yuanshan, Luo Yao was about to pull away and retreat ... his target was never the emperor, but Chang'an City. "

"The eagle came out to hunt for the next generation, but the python eyeed the young eagle in the eagle's house."

Fang Jie rubbed his frowning brow: "I hope the emperor will arrange ... now I just hope."

...

...

The confrontation between the two sides was declared to end only one morning, and the rebels retreated. The army of the imperial court had driven the rebels that had been difficult to gather in Xiping City to both sides. The rebels who tried to encircle the imperial court eventually failed because of insufficient strength. Or knowing that he was no longer able to continue the original design, Li Yuanshan ordered the rebels to gather on the northwest side of Xiping City, and then threw the city south and east after a three-day scramble.

More than 400,000 court troops and nearly 500,000 rebels gathered in Xiping City, a place that would hardly appear in the annals of history before. It is undeniable that regardless of the final outcome of this battle, the weight of the three words of Xiping City will be It became very heavy. History books will be written in the thickest brushwork of this battle, no matter who it is.

When Fang Xie returned to the army station, it was already dark. After dinner, he leaned on the stone to rest. Because he wanted to avoid the rebel scouts, the army did not set up a tent and did not make a fire. During the rest, he was only wrapped in a blanket. lying on the grass.

Mu Xiao waist sat down next to him and looked at the bright stars in the sky: "Jiaoxiao, do you still have to wait?"

Fang Jie said, very light.

"why?"

Mu Xiaoyao asked: "You are a sane person, but this trip is not a sane thing, and now the situation is chaotic, and no one knows the end, the military of all parties may become the winner. You With these three thousand cavalry in the cracks, one would be caught in by accident. "

"I know"

Fang Xie nodded: "I am selfish, but I must do this."

Mu Xiaoyao said very lightly: "If there were only a few of us following you, I wouldn't ask why you did anything. But it's not just us who are now with you, but the 3,000 cavalry. They are up to now I do n’t understand what you are doing with them here. "

"Wait and watch."

Fang Xie paused and said, "I know it's really selfish to do this. I've drawn thousands of people to accompany my thoughts ... I thought the emperor was going to use the bait to provoke the Quartet, because he had already I'm afraid of death. I'm not afraid of death now. But I don't think he should be a prisoner of war or besieged. I know the emperor still doesn't believe me, but he But it gave me the trust to the greatest extent. I always do n’t want to owe others, so I can save him once and save him once. After that, I have a good account of the trust he gave. "

"But now it seems that the emperor may not lose."

Mu Xiaoyao was silent for a while and said, "You said, he is not the kind of person who can be easily defeated."

"Yes"

Fang Xie said: "From the perspective of the war situation, the emperor does not necessarily lose. He must have a strong back-hand, and may have been put on display, but he is still using himself as a bait, or using his own life as a bet. So even if he wins, he is not a winner. To let an emperor use his own life to make a bet even if it is a surviving life is a defeat in itself ... I just want to give him some favors, and what he will do in the future, there will be no Stuck ... "

"Fang Jie ..."

"Ok?"

"I am very happy."

"why?"

Fang Xie asked Mu Xiao waist.

"Because you are still you, never changed."

Mu Xiao waist smiled and his eyes were bright: "You will never be the kind of person who gives up all feelings in order to achieve your purpose. Maybe such a character is very disdainful in the eyes of other successful people, but we are very happy that you are still you. Maybe You don't end up higher than everyone, but that doesn't necessarily mean you haven't succeeded. "

Fang Xie understood the meaning of Mu Xiaoyao, only to find that he had ignored their feelings. It's true that there has been some change in their actions since they led the army. Perhaps they have been worried.

He smiled, holding Mu Xiaoyao's shoulder in his hand and saying, "Maybe I and the people in this world are a little different ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ There are always things that can't be done."

Mu Xiao waist also laughed, and was very happy to see it.

At this moment, a flying fish robe quickly ran from a distance, and hurried to Fang Jie and said, "General, Chen Baihu, they are back!"

Fang Jie immediately got up and strode forward.

After Fang Xie left, Shen Qingfan appeared beside Mu Xiaoyao. She watched Fang Jie's back gradually disappearing into the darkness, and then sighed after being silent for a while: "It's not easy for him to reach such a step today, and I can't even imagine if it can't be more cold. Somehow, how hard he will be in the future. For us, the constant solution is a comfort, and for him ... he will be harder. "

"But there is something you said wrong."

Shen Qingfan smiled at Mu Xiao waist and said, "I have always been more accurate than you seeing people ... he won't lose to any opponent. So, you may not end up standing better than others. Gao is wrong. Let's wait and see. "
