Chapter 245: It's better to be rude than to be a ghost
After such a period of turmoil, Gao Yi did not dare to delay any longer, he cleaned up the battlefield, gathered these baggage, camped on the spot, and asked Helan Demon to lead the 1,000 Ma family army to come and take care of it, and at the same time ordered people to return to Wancheng quickly, and ordered the battalions to stay behind and prepare to march to Liang County, once it was determined that Yique, Yuyuan and Taigu were taken, they would send troops to station.
As soon as the order was issued, several heralds also arrived one after another, saying that in the northwest and northeast of Liang County, the ambushers took Dong Min and Tao Sheng, two enemy generals, and the baggage of the Gao family army that the two had previously captured was also snatched back.
"Okay!" Hearing the news, Gao Yi almost jumped up excitedly, and he said to the soldiers, "Tao Sheng is just an unknown person, and he is not happy to get it, but Dong Min is Dong Zhuo's younger brother, and if he holds this person, Dong Zhuo will definitely have trouble sleeping!"
"Roar, roar, roar, !!" the army could not help but cheer.
The clouds were thick, and some biting cold wind blew through this valley that had just experienced a fight, and the air was still filled with the smell of blood, but Gao Yi has now adapted to this taste, he groped for the moon lance, looking at his own shadow reflected in the blade, it really seemed to be more handsome than before, and he didn't know himself anymore, if he saw the woman Mei Ji again another day, he must thank him.
Just thinking about it, suddenly felt a trace of coolness on his neck, he touched it strangely, only touched a few droplets, he looked up at the sky, I don't know when, it actually snowed, fluttering and sprinkling, but it was a blink of an eye, and a thin layer fell on the ground, like a hazy gauze coat, like a dream.
"It's snowing, everyone is working hard, if you don't build a big camp before the snow gets bigger, you will be frozen to death at night!"
Behind him, the voices of the soldiers came, encouraging each other, but also warming.
"Okay, hurry up, let's drink celebration wine together in the evening!"
"Be quiet, the lord will reprimand us when he hears it!"
"Hahaha! It's just talking, the lord is not such a stingy person!"
Gao Yi couldn't help but smile, looking back, among the snowflakes flying, those who started to build the barracks were all doing their work quickly, some shouted trumpets to pull up the curtains, some fixed the four corners immediately, and some sweated to bring the freshly cut trees to make fences and arrange antlers, all of them were busy and happy, but they were also happy.
The snow seemed to be falling a little heavier, and Gao Yi stood quietly outside the gate like this, looking at all this thoughtfully, and he didn't notice the thick layer of snow falling on his body, but fell into deep thought.
He used to play games, and he always thought that marching and fighting was a quick thing, and his subordinates commanded thousands of troops and horses, charged into battle, conquered all battles, worshiped the generals, and admired by tens of thousands of people, how comfortable and majestic it should be?
And now Gao Yi has discovered that it is far from being that simple, and it has been more than a year since he traveled to this world. Talent and troops, said small is not small, said big is not big, a number of strategists, more than a dozen good generals, there are 50,000 people and horses, according to the huge Nanyang County, although the grain and grass are worried, fortunately, there is no shortage of money, the 100,000 gold given by the ten permanent servants, and the hundreds of thousands of gold hidden by the ten permanent servants of Taimur Mountain, Chen Kun has sent people to investigate, the ten permanent servants have an armed force of tens of thousands of people in Taimur Mountain, disguised as a powerful bandit, in fact, it is to guard the hundreds of thousands of gold in the underground palace under the mountain, and the structure of the underground palace is complex, even if the entrance is found, it may not be possible to safely take out the things inside and transport them to Nanyang, not to mention that the crusade against those tens of thousands of people alone is a big problem。
The problem now in front of Gao Yi is that after breaking through the three checkpoints including Taigu, he will drive straight to Luoyang? In that case, it is very likely that he will end up in the same fate as Dong Zhuo, and the reputation he had established before in the ministers of the DPRK and China will plummet, and Gao Yi does not want to take this road.
In other words, it was just to guard the three passes, thinking that it was a barrier, and then gathering all the horses to Taimur Mountain, now there has been no news from Luoyang for many days, Gao Yi guessed that it was likely that Liu Xie had been killed by the design of the Ten Standing Servants, and plotted to set up a new emperor with others, and Dong Zhuo and Ye Seventeen were eyeing outside Luoyang City, so even if there was news, they couldn't send it.
But in this case, new problems will arise, even if you ask the new court for the task of pacifying the bandits in Taimur Mountain, to achieve your goal, you can't do it without a few months of effort, not to mention, what is left to Gao Yi now is not even half a month.
The longer the time drags on, the more stable the new regime will be, and Gao Yi doesn't want the Ten Standing Servants to become the mastermind behind the manipulation of the little emperor again.
If He Jin was in Luoyang, the Ten Standing Servants would still be afraid, but He Jin is now captured by Gao Yi, and the imperial court has not taken action on He Jin's capture, as if everyone has forgotten He Jin, and there is not even an edict to hold Gao Yi accountable, which can be seen from this.
Gao Yi suddenly had an idea, why didn't he simply force He Jin to raise a flag in Shaomu Mountain and call on people and horses to enter Beijing to crusade against the Ten Standing Servants? In the name of the general, it is better than Gao Yi's own miscellaneous general, right?
In this way, you can not only release your past suspicions with He Jin and his henchmen, but also demarcate the boundary with the ten permanent servants, why not?
"What a pleasure, are you here alone to enjoy the snow?"
Suddenly, an old voice came from behind Gao Yi, making people feel cold.
Gao Yi couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately turned around, only to see a person in a white robe, who was already standing not far in front of him at some point, standing with his hands in his hands, with flowing white hair scattered with the wind and snow, looking gentle and elegant, like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world, but the strange thing is that he is wearing a white mask on his face, and if he doesn't look carefully, he thinks it's a ghost.
The clothes are white, the hair is white, the mask is white, and now it is snowing heavily, this guy is almost integrated with this heavy snow, or rather, this heavy snow, more like this person brought it.
"Who are you?" Gao Yi clenched the Falling Moon Spear with some vigilance, staring at the old man of unknown origin.
The white-haired old man smiled happily: "Little brother, why should you be so nervous, the old man is just an old man passing by here, the snow is falling heavily, and it is getting late, if you don't hurry up, you will freeze to death here!"
He said it lightly, but Gao Yi was even more suspicious, although Gao Yi's level is now far from Zhao Yun's super-first-class strength, it does not mean that there is no most basic vigilance, there has just been a big battle here, but anyone who has some brains will not come to the barracks to ask for trouble, this old man, it is very likely to be meticulous!
Thinking of this, in order to confirm his judgment, Gao Yi pretended to let down his guard and said to the old man: "It's a lot of heart, it seems that this snow won't stop for a while, and if you can't speak in this barracks, if the old gentleman doesn't give up, you can go to the barracks to avoid the snow first." ”
The other party didn't seem to expect Gao Yi to say this, he smiled, and politely declined: "That's not necessary, the old man still has important matters, don't go over it!"
After saying that, the old man turned around and was about to leave, but Gao Yi was willing to let it go, so he immediately stopped him, and his words were no longer polite, and he said directly: "Is the old gentleman worried that I will cause harm?"
The other party was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Where is this, you and I meet in Pingshui, how can we harm the old man?"
Gao Yi took a step back, pointed to the old man's face and said, "In that case, why does the old gentleman refuse to take off the mask on his face and show his true face?
The old man had been wearing a white mask, with only two small holes in his eyes, and there was no ventilation in the rest of the place, Gao Yi was very skeptical that this person would be suffocated to death and how he ate.
Saying that, Gao Yi suddenly made a move, and was about to take off the old man's mask, and then the other party reacted very quickly, his body was vertical, he retreated a few feet, and then stood steadily, but he was not dissatisfied because of Gao Yi's sudden attack, and only asked: "Little brother doesn't seem to be a polite person!"
"It's better to be rude than to pretend to be a ghost!" Gao Yi snorted, his eyes were fixed on the other party, this is obviously an unusual character, and his strength is probably not below Gao Yi, and now he came so blatantly, no matter who sent it, it should not be underestimated.
"Pretend to be a ghost, huh? Then the old man will pretend to be one for his brother!"
The other party seemed to be deliberately teasing Gao Yi, his body was vertical, and suddenly a gust of wind blew, and a large number of snowflakes gathered in front of him, and in an instant, it was impossible to tell what was snow and what was human.
Gao Yi couldn't help but be stunned, but he immediately reacted, and stabbed at this snowflake with a swing of his gun, and actually stabbed it empty!
And the snowflakes that gathered together also scattered, but there was no half of a figure behind them. Gao Yi looked around the entire valley left and right, it was all white, and there was no one else except for the military camp that his men had just set up.
At this time, the fat pig ran out of the barracks with a coat in his hand, and when he saw Gao Yi looking left and right, he asked in surprise, "Big brother, what are you looking at?"
Gao Yi asked the fat pig rhetorically: "Good brother, did you see an old man just now?"
Fat Pig shook his head: "No, I've always seen you standing here alone with your big brother!"
Is it really the hell? Gao Yi was stunned and puzzled, thinking that he had hallucinated just now.
At this time, a voice came from afar, reminding Gao Yi that the scene just now was real: "Hehe, heaven and earth are infinite, Qiankun Yin and Yang, little brother, we still have a chance to meet again, hahaha!"
Gao Yi was speechless for a while, it didn't seem to be a hallucination, it was that the other party was really powerful, and even the fat pig had been deceived, but did this old man have a nervous disorder, he pretended to be a ghost, and in the end he didn't even leave a name, which made Gao Yi how to identify it in the future? Sure enough, there were many strange people in ancient times!
