Chapter 7: Black Clouds Crush the City
Gao Yuanfeng and the four of them were all creepy. What is the concept of an army of more than 10,000 people? Gaojiabao is a famous fort in ten miles and eight townships, and the total number of men, women, and children is more than 1,000.
Even though the folk style is fierce, everyone practices martial arts, but what can really be regarded as a martial artist is at least the second phase of the forging realm, the tendon washing period. In the first phase of the fitness period, newborn babies can be counted, but the size of the muscles is just the size, so they can't be considered martial artists.
The martial artists of the Gaojiabao tendon washing period and above shall not exceed three hundred. In other words, there are only 300 soldiers who can fight, and the rest can only do some auxiliary work at most. Three hundred people are against ten thousand, and it is not enough to fill the gaps.
What's even more terrifying is that since there are more than 10,000, it must be the official army. Ordinary strong beam bandits, ranging from dozens to hundreds, and almost no more than a thousand. Since it was the official army who came, it must not be for some money and food. If it is not for money, why did it come?
Although Gao Cheng and Gao Gang are both in the Cheng Dan period and are at the peak of the kingdom's combat power, it is still not enough to see in the face of more than 10,000 troops.
Cheng Dan stage martial artists, against a hundred or ten low-level martial artists, is not a big problem. If there are hundreds or thousands of opponents, they will not be able to catch them. Because the true qi is limited, it can't be consumed. Hundreds of scattered robbers may be able to win, and the bandits may collapse in fear. However, against more than 1,000 officers and soldiers with strict military rules and proficient in battle formations, there is absolutely no defeat and no victory.
Of course, it is also difficult for the army to strangle the warriors of the Chengdan period, because the warriors of the Chengdan period can not be defeated and can go. It was faster than a galloping horse, and if he wanted to retreat, even the elite cavalry could not catch up. Therefore, the warriors of the Chengdan period are still very terrifying, and it is not a joke to kill three in and three out in the army to take the head of the general.
However, Gaojiabao is here, the foundation is here, Gao Yuanfeng is here, can Gao Cheng and Gao Gang retreat?
The battle couldn't fight, the retreat couldn't retreat, and the four of them panicked.
Gao Gang quickly opened the door and shouted: "Gao Wei, blow the trumpet, seal the fort, be on guard, prepare for war!"
"Okay. I'll go. Gao Wei replied loudly, and hurried out of the ancestral hall compound with a group of burghers.
In the courtyard, the leaders of Gaojiabao were all panicked and surrounded Gao Gang.
Gao Yuanfeng in the room suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, his expression eased, and he ran out. Compared with discussing his life experience and recovering the country, he was not too frightened when the army pressed the border. If you can't beat it, it's a big deal to run. On the contrary, I felt that the army had come at the right time, and it would be best to fool this matter over. Ostrich mentality, hiding for a while. As for Gaojiabao's foundation and the like, he is not like Gao Cheng and others who have spent countless efforts, so he is not so nostalgic. It's hard to stay here, and there's a sky and a sea outside.
However, Gao Cheng could let him get his wish, and grabbed him, "Wang······ , young master, why are you going?"
Gao Yuanfeng hurriedly said: "Grandpa, kill the Nanban." ”
"Kill ······" Gao Cheng's heart moved, "What are you killing? Young master, you said it was Nanban, not Zhou Jun?"
Gao Yuanfeng has never entered the role, so he is the calmest among the four. The other three were too worried, too deeply expected, and too anxious, so they were confused for a while. After all, they have seen the world, and as soon as Gao Yuanfeng mentioned it, the three of them immediately reacted.
Gao Wei shouted just now that there is wolf smoke in the South Fort, not the West Fort and the North Fort. The closest city to Gaojiabao is Bohai County, which is more than 300 miles to the northwest. It is reported that it has been occupied by Zhou Feiyan. If it is the army of the Zhou State that comes today, it should be attacked from the west or north.
Since it came from the south, it was mostly the Chen army that took the opportunity to pick up cheap during the war between Zhou and Qi. The person who came was not Zhou Jun, who had a feud and hatred of destroying the country, and the hearts of the three of them were a little lowered.
"How could Chen Guo's army appear in Haiyang County, and what are they doing here?" Gao Cheng was puzzled. Whether it is Chen Jun or Zhou Jun, it is not something that the small Gaojiabao can compete. If Chen Jun's intentions are not clarified, everyone's hearts are still in the air.
was pulled by Gao Cheng and couldn't run out. Gao Yuanfeng had no choice but to stay and analyze with the three of them.
Gao Yuanfeng groaned: "It's really strange. The reason why Northern Qi collapsed so quickly was not only that it was unable to defeat the Zhou army, but also a large part of the reason was that Chen State took the opportunity to cross the border and contain a large part of Qi's military strength. It can be estimated in this way that there must be some kind of agreement between Chen and Zhou.
No matter what their agreement was to annex the Qi Kingdom, it was impossible to separate the land of a county. Since Zhou Feiyan occupied the county seat of Bohai, there was no reason for Chen Jun to enter Haiyang County, Jieshi Prefecture, which was subordinate to Bohai. Unless Bohai County was originally divided into Chen Guo, but it was preempted by Zhou Feiyan, so that the two sides shared the spoils unevenly.
But that doesn't make sense. The battle to destroy Qi did not hurt Chen Zhou's muscles and bones, but it also cost the people and money, and he was tired. Supposedly, both families should recuperate. What's more, Bohai County is neither important nor rich. Not to mention 'fat', it can only be regarded as inferior in 'meat and bones'. How could the two families tear their faces for this?
Could it be that the news has leaked, and they are really here for me? Grandpa, apart from the three of you, how many people know my true identity?"
Gao Cheng stared at Gao Gang Yunhaikuo, "When life and death are at stake, there is no room for negligence." Honestly, you didn't tell your family about it. "Gao Cheng has no children and no daughters, and he is alone, while Gao Gang has a wife and children. Gao Cheng was worried that the two couldn't help but say it to their relatives.
"Absolutely not. Takatsuna said affirmatively.
Yun Haikuo also swore and promised, "No." We are all in the name of death, who dares to leak the slightest word. If it were known that we weren't dead, wouldn't we be a rebel who slipped through the net, but we would have to cut off our heads. ”
Yun Haikuo's words, Gao Yuanfeng understands, because Gao Gang said it in the secret of Gao Gang's narrative before.
When Gao Yuanfeng was born, his mother had a difficult birth and died of a blood collapse. Gao Gang said that Gao Huan, the first king of Qi, for the continuation of the Gao family, also concealed Gao Yuanfeng, and announced that both mother and son were dead.
On the bright side, because of the death of the extremely favored Concubine Yun Hui, Gao Huan was angry with the imperial doctor and the palace maid, and went on a killing spree. In the end, he couldn't hold back his hand, and even the eunuchs, guards and forbidden soldiers were not spared, and many people were implicated. Even Gao Huan, the chief eunuch who has always relied on his cronies, Gao Gang, the leader of the shadow guard, Yun Haikuo, the deputy commander of the forbidden army, and others were innocently affected.
Secretly, he let Gao Cheng, Gao Gang, Yun Haikuo and others remain incognito, endure humiliation, and raise Gao Yuanfeng to reserve a backhand.
Just to bury such a backhand, he killed people's heads and bleeds like a river. Therefore, Gao Yuanfeng felt that his identity was bloody, so he didn't want to listen to that person's words to restore the country.
There is also an unspeakable reason that Zhiduo is close to the demon's Gao Yuanfeng, and he faintly feels that this matter is not so simple, because it is unreasonable for that person to be so crazy. As the founding monarch of the country, and he is still a promising monarch, his prestige is flourishing, and everything he thinks should be eternal, how can he imagine the destruction of the Qi Kingdom?
The second suspicion is that it is difficult to build a country, he knows better than anyone else, but the dark power given to Gao Cheng and others is not much. Since it is a back hand, it should be vigorously arranged in terms of manpower, material resources, etc. But as far as Gao Yuanfeng knew, Gao Gang and the others had little wealth in their hands. The force value, because of the high outline, is about the same in level, but in terms of manpower, it is stretched. Today's strength is developed by Gao Cheng and others over the years.
Why did Gao Huan believe that these dozen or so people, so much money, was enough to assist Gao Yuanfeng to restore the country? Whether Gao Cheng and the others were outstanding talents, and Gao Huan, who was eloquent and courageous, should be clear. Loyalty should not be a problem, and charging into battle can be independent, but governing the country is far from being in the world. So it doesn't make sense.
But no matter how it didn't make sense, Gao Yuanfeng didn't dare to ask. In case Gao Cheng and the others woke up, Gao Huan might have lied to them, so how could the loyal three people deal with themselves and how to treat Gao Yuanfeng.
The core reason is that Gao Yuanfeng doesn't want to be a king at all.
People who are not greedy for wealth and have no desire for power definitely don't want to sit in that seat that is neither free nor as tired as a dog.
Rich, the poor think every day. But for Gao Yuanfeng, who is never short of money, there is no such concept.
And the desire for power, unlike greed, is innate, and needs to be cultivated. People who have been oppressed by power, or who have felt the pleasure of deciding the fate of others, will breed a strong desire for power. And Gao Yuanfeng has never had this kind of experience and experience. Gao Gang and others cultivated Gao Yuanfeng's various abilities, but instead of cultivating his desire for power, it was his annual experience that allowed him to enjoy the freedom to travel the rivers and lakes.
How can a high wind that treats experience as a game and longs for freedom like the wind, willing to carry such a heavy burden?
The three of them didn't know what Gao Yuanfeng was thinking, and they still thought hard about the origin of Chen Jun. In the same way, the other colleagues are like the three of them, and the possibility of betrayal is almost none.
Gao Yuanfeng broke the dull atmosphere, "Since you are all sure that it is impossible to leak out, then Chen Jun is probably not here for me. ”
The secret of Gao Yuanfeng's identity has been buried in the hearts of Gao Cheng and others for more than ten years, and he has never revealed anything to the outside world. The other insiders in the palace of King Qi back then had already been killed.
If you want to say that others have analyzed it according to the clues, it is even less likely, otherwise it would have happened a long time ago and would not have been able to wait for today.
The brothers Gao Cheng and Gao Gang were originally born in Bohai County. When he was a teenager, he went out to make a living, and he had to meet Gao Huan, who recruited soldiers and horses. Because of their bravery in battle, they were greatly cultivated by Gao Huan's appreciation, and found that the two of them were quite talented in martial arts, and gave them more exercises and elixirs.
The two of them deeply felt the grace of the encounter, so they repaid it with sincerity, repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and finally became Gao Huan's powerful arm. Gao Cheng was injured in the war and had no choice but to enter the Ouchi. Gao Gang became the leader of the shadow guard of the former king.
Because of the special identities of the eunuch and the shadow guard, they are not known in the township. Later, when he returned, he only said that he had done business abroad and made a fortune. I returned to my hometown because I thought about my roots, and I wanted to help the township. Rich, powerful and strong in martial arts, he soon became the lord of Gaojiabao.
As for the origin of Gao Yuanfeng, there is a story to prepare.
Before Gao Cheng was injured, he was rewarded with a slave girl. In a brutal war, it is a duty to reward captured enemy women to meritorious officers. I don't think it didn't take long for the slave girl to become pregnant. Kill it, you can't bear your own seed. Staying, but it didn't take long for it to hurt the foundation of the line's personnel. In a bad mood, Gao Cheng arranged her in a small mountain village, leaving some money and leaving her to fend for herself.
When he returned to his hometown, Gao Cheng thought that he had no queen, so he went to the mountain village to find the slave girl. Who knew that the mountain village happened to be razed by a gang of bandits. In the house where the slave girl once lived, in the stove stuffed with firewood and grass, a newborn child was pulled out, which was 'Gao Yuanfeng'. There was a letter left in the swaddling clothes. From the letter, I learned that 'Gao Yuanfeng' was Gao Cheng's own grandson.
The reason why I say preparation is to prepare for people who are familiar with the identity of Gao Cheng's eunuch in the future. For the villagers, there is no need to be so troublesome, just say that when they encountered robbers, their sons and daughters-in-law were all killed, and only a grandson was left alone.
Gao Cheng's story is true, and it is also true to pull out a child, and it is indeed Gao Cheng's own grandson. Sadly, the child starved to death. So let Gao Yuanfeng take the identity of that child, seamlessly.
The people of Gaojiabao are convinced of this, let alone outsiders.
The three of them thought about the past carefully, and still felt that there was no possibility of leakage. Yun Haikuo said with little confidence: "The young master is right, Chen Jun probably didn't come for the young master. ”
Hearing the hustle and bustle outside the hospital, Gao Cheng was irritable, "Hope, hope." ”
Gao Yuanfeng comforted: "Don't panic, it's definitely not." If so, it's useless to panic. If not, it's not a big deal. If Chen Jun came to seize the territory, all he wanted was to submit to him. A verbal promise is enough, and it doesn't necessarily have to be hit.
Whether he is or not, it will soon be clear. We just need to hold on for two or three days. With the skills of the two grandfathers, it will not be a problem to hold the city for two or three days. ”
Gao Gang was still worried, "It's not a problem to keep it for two or three days." But in the rush of two or three days, we can't collect any information, how can we determine whether it is right or not?"
Gao Yuanfeng said with certainty: "There is no need to bother to collect, and it will be clear when the time comes." ”
How can we be sure that we can see it in two or three days? Even if it is confirmed, what if the answer is yes? Gao Cheng and the three of them are worried.
