On September 1 of the eighth year of Taihe, the army still had three days to travel from Luoyang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Spies from the front came to report that there was no sign of enemy troops south of the Yellow River.

Shao Jingchu reined in the horse, let the horse turn around, turned back to the soldiers and said, "Go directly to Luoyang and prepare to cross the river." ”

Suddenly, a horse rushed back from behind the spies, he broke through the guards holding the halberd, rushed to Shao Jingchu, dismounted and knelt down and said, "The villain has something to report to the marshal." ”

Yao Bei, Mo Mingxuan and the others took spears from their horses and were about to poke him, Shao Jingchu took a step forward and stopped the two: "It's okay, let him speak." ”

The man said: "Back to the marshal, the little one found that there is a place about 100 miles east of Luoyang, where the water is shallow this year, it is easy to cross the river, and there is an old village opposite, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack......

Shao Jingchu's eyes flashed: "Who is accompanying you?" ”

"Back to the marshal, the small ones went by horses, and the small ones were locals, so they know the terrain."

"You're doing a great job." Shao Jingchu nodded.

The man prostrates.

Shao Jingchu said again: "If this discovery is true, it can be said to be like a tiger with wings for our army, what is your name?" ”

"The little one's name is Gu Hu."

At this time, there was a discussion among the people who heard Gu Hu's words, and Mo Mingxuan raised his hand to signal silence.

Shao Jingchu continued: "But whether this matter is so beneficial remains to be verified, you go down first, and I will discuss with the generals." ”

Shao Jingchu turned around and said to Mo Mingxuan: "Mingxuan, remember to reward him with gold and silver." ”

Mo Mingxuan nodded.

At this time, it was the beginning of the dawn, and Shao Jingchu ordered the generals gathered together to return to their positions according to the formation, pack up the camp tents, blow the horn, and prepare for the march.

In the past half a month, I have gradually learned to ride a horse, and at this time I walked side by side with Shao Jingchu.

"You missed one thing in the questioning just now." I said.

Shao Jingchu smiled lightly: "Lord Gu heard it? ”

"You didn't ask the location, the old village, the water is shallow, although the prompt is clear enough, but people who don't know to find it, it still has to be easy to find for a while......"

Shao Jingchu nodded: "I didn't ask on purpose." ”

I said, "I finally know how to guard against others, if there is a spy in the person just now, it is likely that the matter will be exposed." ”

Shao Jingchu suddenly said: "Do you think this Gu Hu is unreliable?" ”

I wondered if he had such a question, but I still replied: "I think it is reliable, he seems to be in a hurry to make meritorious contributions, don't you see that the spy in front of him has a bad face?" ”

Shao Jingchu sighed: "That's what I said." ”

"Why do you doubt it?" I asked.

If Gu Hu's words are wrong, please go forward to investigate and find out that he has fabricated the facts, and he has only one way to die, so it is impossible to provide false information.

Shao Jingchu said: "It's just ...... I was about to explore where I could rush to the vicinity of Luoyang and where it was easy to defend when he happened to bump into me, which was too much of a coincidence...... If this is the providence, then it can only be said that we are too lucky......"

"So far," I said, "the most important thing is to summon Gu Hu once, know the location, and then verify whether what he said is true." ”

Shao Jingchu nodded: "Yes, I decided to go and inspect it myself." ”

I was taken aback: "It's really a good idea, if there are spies in the army, and the matter is leaked to Bei Liang, you will have the difficulty of assault...... Or, what if Bei Liang specially lured Gu Hu to find a shortcut and let you fall for the trick? will not move lightly, the top priority of military law, why are you so reckless? ”

Shao Jingchu seemed to be blind to the crisis, but smiled narrowly: "Lord Gu didn't understand military affairs first, and now he will talk to me about military law?" ”

I couldn't help but be speechless.

Shao Jingchu said: "Lord Gu is right, this move is the next policy, but if it is done well, it will become the best policy, if I lead the elite soldiers to occupy the riverbank, even if Beiliang comes to attack, it can be blocked for three or five days, and then let the army cross the river smoothly, and the state is the land of our army......"

He looked up at the sky, his gaze was not a trace of confusion, nor a trace of fanaticism, but as clear as water in a pool, and I could not help but be impressed by the eyes of such a calm and calm man.

“…… Indeed, it is not possible to say that it is the best policy. ”

Shao Jingchu smiled: "Then the matter is so decided, Lord Gu is responsible for asking Gu Hu, and I will immediately dispatch troops." ”

I was left where I was, dumbfounded.

Shao Jingchu's trust in me is not right to say that it is tempting and that there is no reason for it, but is he so accustomed to trusting someone he doesn't know well?

Including Mo Mingxuan, if he is really so proficient, it will be strange to know the Chinese book scam.

In the past few days, Mo Mingxuan and I have taken care of half of our official duties, and from all aspects of the official documents, I found that Mo Mingxuan did handle things properly, but this did not match Shao Jingchu's personal style.

In other words, on the one hand, the people in the capital were very tightly trapped by Shao Jingchu's documents, and on the other hand, they knew that it was not Shao Jingchu who was negotiating.

……

The support of the Kyoto side is not a solid support, and it will fall apart at any time, and Shao Jingchu undoubtedly gave Mo Mingxuan too much power. And what did he get? What was obtained was a brief peace in the country during the war with Beiliang.

Judging from Shao Jingchu's fate, because of Mo Mingxuan's betrayal, he drove the wind direction in the capital, and he became the target of public criticism and lost his life.

In other words, if Shao Jingchu is so unpopular, why can he become a general? …… I really don't understand.

I went back to the tent and ordered the soldiers to bring Gu Hu here.

Gu Hu came in tremblingly, his face was ruddy, and the reward he might have received made him supported by the soldiers, and with joy on his face, I said, "What do you think of the spies in front of our army?" ”

I was referring to his boss, and sure enough, Gu Hu knelt down immediately: "The little one who made his own decisions and left the team without permission is an unforgivable crime......"

I smiled and ordered the soldier next to me to move a chair for him: "Don't panic, just answer my question." ”

I sent all the soldiers out of the tent.

So Gu Hu said: "Back to my lord, the spies are conscientious, and there is nothing wrong with it." ”

"It's hard for you to stay in the scout camp, you know?"

Gu Hu raised his head suddenly: "Villain...... I know, what do you command, and please give me instructions. ”

This man was really weird, and I just showed a little bit of a mouth, and he could guess what I was thinking, and I couldn't help but be a little worried about whether this decision was good or bad.

But in the end, I said, "In the future, you can send and receive letters, as long as you take the letter from the post soldier with your own hands and hand it to the post soldier with your own hands." ”

When Gu Hu heard this, his eyes were a little hesitant.

I'm sure he understood what I meant.

I asked, "Will you do things for me?" ”

I try to be as aggressive as possible, but it's a bit difficult.

Gu Hu looked back at my eyes staring at him, and gradually blushed, I couldn't help but be a little cramped, coughed and said, "What exactly do you want to do, I will explain to you later." ”

Gu Hu said: "Yes, my lord." The villain must be smeared with the liver and brain of the adult, and swear allegiance to the adult. ”

I ordered him to drink the tea in front of him, and said, "Where is the place where you crossed the river this time?" ”

Gu Hu said: "Back to my lord, Mohe Village, you can see the old village from Mohe Village, and the arrival of the army is clear at a glance." ”

I nodded: "I'll write the paperwork tonight, and tomorrow I'll arrange for you to change positions, don't let me down." ”

Gu Hu said: "Yes." ”

He withdrew from the big tent, whether he accepted this person or not, to be honest, I don't know, but ...... Better than nothing.

Soon the soldiers came and said: "The marshal has broken away from the army and marched north. ”

I can't believe it, Shao Jingchu shouldn't have gotten my information yet, right? ……

Now I can only catch up and tell him.

I packed up my things a little, stepped on my horse, and hurried towards Shao Jingchu and them with a few guards around me.
