Chapter 201 Audit
General Tong resisted the urge to vomit blood, glared at Gu Zhirong fiercely and said, "Miss Gu Wu has to speak in a measured manner, don't frame it out of thin air." I think of my Tongjia Army, which has been famous for many years, making foreign countries frightened, and having countless military achievements. How many battles have thrown their heads, spilled blood, and piled up mountains of bones in exchange for the peace of the country and the people..."
Gu Zhirong interrupted him, nodded affirmatively, and said, "Yes, what General Tong said is the truth. However, General Tong seems to have forgotten that what you just said is the past glory of the Tongjia army, right? Look at what the Tongjia army has done in the past ten years? In the battle of Jiahaiguan, the Tongjia army resisted 50,000 enemy troops with 80,000 troops, and lost 45,000, which was a crushing victory. In the battle of Surfing Mountain, the Tongjia army won first and then lost, and finally won, but what about the army, less than half of the 70,000 army was left in the end, and I won't say how many thousands of the enemy are, can the general still be proud to think that this is a victory?"
Gu Zhirong's language was sharp and abnormal, and he simply took a few examples and said it, which made General Tong's face turn from red to white, and then from white to purple, and finally he couldn't wait to find a hole to get into.
Gu Zhirong didn't seem to be sympathetic to General Tong's feeling of being so ashamed that he wanted to find a hole to get into, and continued to sharply expose his scars, or didn't he sprinkle a handful of salt: "...... Moreover, I also heard that the arrogance of the Tongjia army is flourishing, and in the battle eight years ago, when General Tong went out to fight, he also brought the imperial kitchen, right? Another time, because it was too far into the enemy's hinterland. The logistics supply of the whole army was not enough, and the soldiers could not eat a full meal at all, so as a result, the whole army had more than 100,000 war horses when they set out for the battle. When he returned, there were less than 10,000 horses left, and the rest were all killed and eaten. As a result, the return journey was long, and the sergeants had no horses, and they almost walked back with broken legs, which was three months later than the scheduled return date......"
Gu Zhirong turned his head to look at him: "General Tong, is there such a thing?"
The young master's eyes became darker and darker. On General Tongda's forehead, beads of sweat the size of soybeans kept coming out. He reached out and wiped it, and when he was done, it popped up again.
He looked at Gu Zhirong in shock. I don't know how this Miss Gu Wu in front of me learned about his wild history, few people know about these past histories, although ...... They are real.
Gu Zhirong saw General Tong sweating profusely and looking embarrassed. Only then did I realize that I was too linguistic. gave him a chance to breathe: "General Tong, you have been busy with military affairs in the past few years, I'm afraid you haven't inspected the barracks, right?"
General Tong was stunned for a moment, and when he heard Gu Zhirong say "busy with military affairs", he realized that she was giving him a step, so he said, "Ah...... Yes, I have had a lot of military affairs over the years, so this is the matter of inspecting the barracks. I've left it all to the domestic demand officer. ”
Saying such a thing, General Tong himself felt ashamed. Over the years. They were overwhelmed by the bullet and came to defend the northern front of the town, which was not a threat. With no future, the sergeants are all discouraged and have a weak fighting spirit, so how can they have any military affairs to speak of? In addition to training and training soldiers, I am afraid that they are only helping the local people catch brown bears and wolves that run down the mountain to hurt people, and these are not military affairs at all, right?
Seeing Gu Zhirong looking at him, he thought that Gu Zhirong didn't believe it, so he shouted loudly: "Internal demand officer." ”
As soon as the words fell, a young man less than twenty years old with a white face rushed over, holding a booklet like an account book in his hand, and reported: "Li Yu, the internal demand officer, is here, what are the general's orders?"
It seems that even a small domestic demand officer can see that the young master is not small, and he is quite suspected of inspecting military affairs, so he has made preparations in advance, and even the account books in his hand have been prepared.
General Tong pointed in the direction of the young master and motioned for him to take the notebook.
Li Yu walked in front of the young master very seriously, and was about to hand over the notebook, when Gu Zhirong took it: "I'll take a look." ”
"Who are you, why are you robbing my ......" Li Yu is just a son-in-law, relying on his general uncle to mess around in the army.
Since everyone knew his identity, no one dared to mess with him, so over the years, he has been rampaging in the barracks, very chic and happy. Unexpectedly, he was offended by a little-known girl, and immediately Brother Gongzi's temper was about to attack, but he was glared back by General Tong's fierce eyes.
He bit his lip and stood aggrieved, looking at Gu Zhirong with disdain from time to time.
Gu Zhirong looked at it a few times, and saw that the inspection date above was quite neatly recorded, but the description of the situation was all the same: "Okay, fine" and something like that, he couldn't help but feel depressed, and casually threw it back to the son surnamed Li.
Li Yu didn't catch it, and was hit on the chin by the hard and taut account book. He was in pain and glared at Gu Zhirong fiercely.
Gu Zhirong ignored him, pondered for a moment, and said: "This account book, General Li records it well, it is very clear, but I still have a few points that I don't know, and I need to ask General Li for advice." ”
"You ask. Li Yu didn't take the current little girl in her eyes at all, and didn't care about it.
Gu Zhirong smiled and instantly lost his expression: "July 18, did anything special happen that day?"
"July 18?" Li Yu was confused by the question, he thought about it, but he really couldn't think of it, so he hurriedly opened the account book in his hand and found the page of July 18, the account book was empty, and there was nothing to record. So Li Gongzi breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "It's July 18, nothing special." ”
"Really?" Gu Zhirong glanced at him, his gaze suddenly turned cold, "But why did I hear that on July 18, heavy snow closed the mountain?"
When Gu Zhirong pointed out the words "heavy snow seals the mountain", General Tong immediately glared at his nephew fiercely.
Li Gongzi reacted at this time: "Oh yes, yes, yes, the heavy snow closed the mountain, I forgot for a while, this winter came very early, only in mid to late July, you see, this snow has sealed the mountain road." That...... That day, my uncle asked me to take a team of personal soldiers to shovel snow and open the way, is there such a thing as my uncle?"
General Tong glared at him angrily: "Don't call me uncle." ”
"Yes. Li Gongzi looked aggrieved.
Looking back, Zhirong didn't ask Li Gongzi, but turned back to look at General Tong: "General, on July 18, the snow closed the mountain, does the general remember what major things happened that day?"
General Tongda, like his nephew, shook his head: "Yes, nothing should happen, right?"
Gu Zhirong sighed slightly: "It seems that the general still doesn't know anything about his army." ”
This seemed to be a bit heavy, Li Gongzi jumped up first, pointed at Gu Zhirong and said, "Who are you, why do you say that my uncle doesn't understand his army?
"Li Yu, don't be presumptuous. "General Tong, who has learned Gu Zhirong's strength, hurriedly dragged his nephew back.
Gu Zhirong nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll talk about it, on July 18, the heavy snow closed the mountain, and the grain and vegetables of the imperial court began to be transported into Jicheng on that day, and the sergeants began to run out of food on that day." ”
"Out of food?" General Tong was taken aback, "Impossible!"
Li Gongzi also jumped up and echoed: "Impossible. But then, under the pressure of Gu Zhirong's gaze, he retreated and whispered, "It should be...... Unlikely, right?" (To be continued......)
