Chapter One Hundred and Five
When marching and fighting, I am most afraid of being willful and willful. Before setting out on the expedition, Qin Qi learned that Xu Yuan and Li Xuekai had a grudge, and the cause of Li Xuekai's rebellion this time was that Xu Yuan found out about some of his underground transactions. However, these have nothing to do with Qin Qi, and he doesn't want to mediate anything, but he instinctively doesn't want to let this matter mess up the war against Chang'an.
Huaibei is not a populous province of Zhou, but all the way Wang Jun came over, he found that their city soldiers were more than the number of garrisons stipulated in ordinary cities, and their combat effectiveness was not very high. In peacetime, who wants to be a big-headed soldier who can't fight for the head in a lifetime? There's something greasy about it.
After a long battle, there are too many places to judge, but Chang'an is definitely not the base camp of the Bright Sect, because it is too dazzling. They also wanted to try to inquire about this Illumination Sect with the locals, but as soon as the Lele Masters heard that he was sent by Wang Jun and did not inquire about the Illumination Sect without asking the tyrant to inquire about the Illumination Sect, they didn't really want to pay attention to them.
After asking carefully, I learned that in the local area, the Guangming School has an excellent reputation. They run shops, run schools for free, find children a job that won't starve to death, and some children will follow them to walk the rivers and lakes and become heroes. Qin Qi was attracted by the last sentence of being a hero, and he asked the sergeant who went to inquire about the news: "Do you know why they all went to be heroes?" Has anyone come back? ”
The sergeant received the order and went to investigate, Qin Qi had a lot of things on his mind, what was going on here? Why did all the people who had a relationship with the Illuminati end up leaving their homeland? After a while, the sergeant came back and reinstated: "Marshal, those who go out, basically no one will come back, and they will only leave the four words goodbye to the rivers and lakes." It was indeed written by hand. ”
This is very strange, the Bright Sect does good deeds and accumulates virtues, but the apprentices they accept are idle one by one and become vagrants, which is not in line with common sense. There must be a demon when things go wrong, Qin Qi thought in his heart, why is it? Unless, they have long forgotten their home? Qin Qidao: "Do we still have prisoners?" You bring me a young one. ”
The sergeant came out of the tent and brought back a small captive in a few moments. "Marshal, this person said that his name is Huang Lin, and he is only fourteen years old this year." Qin Qi looked at this child with a sallow face and dull eyes: "What do you have to do with the Bright Sect?" Huang Lin's eyes tightened. It doesn't matter! I don't know what the Illuminati are. ”
A guilty person gives himself away by conspicuously protesting his innocence. You don't know the bright faction that everyone in Huaibei knows? It's too fake. Qin Qi asked, "Do you know that you are now a captive?" Huang Lin nodded: "I know." "Then why haven't you told me the truth? You're lying to me now, and I don't like people who keep me liaring. ”
"Marshal spare your life, I don't dare to deceive you." "Then I ask you, do you know the Illuminati? I don't know what you're talking about, Huaibei, no one knows it, no one knows it. "Villain, it is true that there is deception, but it is because the Great Protector of the Bright Sect is kind to the villain, and the villain does not dare to confess his benefactor."
"What kindness does he have to you? Put you in the army to die for him? "The Great Protector redeems the villain from the bitter cold land and gives the villain a bowl of rice to eat, he is the villain's benefactor, no matter what he asks the villain to do. I'm going to die. "Even though he made you suffer there for so long?" Qin Qi looked at him suspiciously.
"How can you go to a bitter cold place without complaint? He is the one who sent you there to do hard work, and then lied to your parents that you were going to travel the rivers and lakes. How do you know that the world is sinister and how do you travel the rivers and lakes? You really don't doubt him at all, do you? "If the marshal wants to kill, he will kill, and if he kills my benefactor like this, Huang Lin will not agree!"
"Why don't you go back and see your parents?" "They sold me to such a bitter cold place, and they didn't think about me at all, they only thought about the money from selling the children, right? How can such a person deserve me to go back and find it? "But as far as we know, it is the Bright Sect that in the name of giving children free reading, people will hand over their children to them one after another, whose children are not treasures in their hands? Besides, you're so young. ”
"The Great Dharma Protector has never said anything about accepting anyone, he has never." "Do you think he's going to do this dirty work on his own? Who is he? As long as he sat there every day, countless children's hard-earned money would fall from the sky and fall into his pocket. "I won't believe a word of what you say, you are a noble person, why should you deign to say anything to me, a little person?" Huang Lin looked at Qin Qi defiantly, admiring his expression when he was speechless.
Qin Qi has been on the battlefield for a long time, so naturally he will not be foolish with a hairy boy, he looked at Huang Lin's provocative eyes, and didn't want to say anything to him, so he waved his hand and asked the sergeant to take him away. With such an elm head, it is useless to say anything. "The whole army will attack the city and advance according to tactics, and there must be no mistakes. Overseers are required to be in place before sergeants. ”
When it came to the affairs of the soldiers, Qin Qi was extremely calm and calm, he didn't say a word of nonsense, and he already had a plan to attack the city. "Is Xu Yuan gone?" "Marshal, General Xu had already left at noon, and when he saw that you were interrogating the prisoners, he didn't come in, but just asked his subordinates to inform you."
Going out this time is not as difficult as Qin Qi said to fish in the sea, with the experience of raiding Li Xuekai last time, this time Xu Yuan is not so shy: "Every time you go to a city, you have to find a trademark, a plaque, there is a sign like a small eye of the sun on it, come, I'll draw it, you can take a look." ”
All the captains gathered together and looked at Xu Yuan nervously. I saw that he drew a very abstract eye on the ground with a branch, and he said solemnly: "See? That's it, all the stores that see this logo are blocked, and none of the people inside are allowed to run away. This picture is too abstract, and the lieutenants looked back and forth, scratching their scalps vigorously and couldn't understand it.
The military order cannot be disobeyed, and the captains can only look for it, and sure enough, they found the sinister one-eyed. City after city, all the money of the Bright Sect was taken away by Xu Yuan, except for the foundation of the house, the rest were demolished. Qin Qi was desperate in front, and Xu Yuan made a fortune in the back.
He figured it out, since Qin Qi wanted to be this loyal minister, let him do it, and now this bright sect's shop is enough to clean up. There are even small workshops filled with children of a few years old. All of them are unkempt and disheveled. Xu Yuan couldn't bear to look at it. "Give each of them a suit of clothes, stay in the army, and make a decision after I write a letter to Gyeonggi."
