"It's true that Huaxing was seriously injured, but he wasn't alone. Not only was he accompanied by General Wen Yuan, but the six hundred soldiers brought by Tang Sheng were also protecting him! Therefore, the old man failed to arrest him. Speaking of this, Chen Gong's face crossed a touch of regret from the heart.

"What? You said that Wen Yuan and Tang Sheng are both with Huaxing? As soon as these words came out, Gao Shun's complexion changed suddenly.

"That's right! This is what the old man saw with his own eyes. Chen Gong nodded back.

"Alas! I didn't expect even Wenyuan to leave me......"

Shaking his head in frustration, Gao Shun sat back in his chair, obviously this matter hit him hard.

But soon he remembered something else, sat up straight and asked:

"Wait a minute, you said Tang Sheng is also with Huaxing?"

"Exactly!"

"How could they be together?"

"Before the battle of Qiankuo Mountain, Tang Sheng was Huaxing's deputy general. Now that Huaxing is leaving, it is normal to call Tang Sheng. ”

After returning to the city yesterday, Chen Gong carefully investigated Tang Sheng's background, and finally figured out the relationship between Tang and Hua.

"So, the stolen materials are in the hands of Huaxing?"

As Huaxing guessed, Gao Shun quickly linked the two things together.

"That's right!" Chen Gong took advantage of the question on the spot and said: "According to the old man's guess, Tang Sheng is very likely to be instructed by Huaxing to steal the materials!" ”

"What? You mean, this is all designed by Huaxing in advance? General Gao Shun was suspicious.

"Then you need to ask? Huaxing said on the surface that he had no intention of becoming an official and wanted to return to the field, but in fact, he had ill intentions! not only secretly bought people's hearts and took away the soldiers of our army, but also instructed Tang Sheng to steal materials overnight, so as to help him stand on his own. Hum! Such a wolf-hearted thief, if I don't get rid of it, it's really hard to solve the hatred in my heart! ”

Speaking of this, I saw Chen Gong suddenly stand up from the chair, clasped his fists at Gao Shun and said:

"General Gao, the theft of materials is small, but the Huaxing thieves are really too deceitful to do this! The old man is willing to lead 3,000 troops to the conquest, and the materials will be recovered, and Huaxing, Tang Sheng and others will be arrested, and he hopes that the general will allow it. ”

If he just stole some supplies, or took away hundreds of soldiers, he would not have to send troops to recruit Huaxing with his high temperament.

But under the infection of Chen Gong's words, Gao Shun's face gradually became ugly.

I think that at the beginning, after learning the news that Huaxing was leaving, seeing that it was useless to keep him, Gao Shun not only did not embarrass the other party, but also personally went out of the city to send him off, which can be said to be deeply affectionate to Huaxing.

But how does Huaxing treat himself?

If you don't repay your kindness, you will be cruel to yourself before leaving!

It would be light to say that he is unkind, it is simply a wolf's heart, which is unacceptable, and Gao Shun, who has an unbalanced mentality, also has the idea of revenge.

But just when Gao Shun was about to agree to Chen Gong's proposal, a soldier's voice suddenly came from outside the study:

"General Qiyu Gao, there is a letter sent from outside the city, saying that General Hua wrote it to you."

Although he was dissatisfied, as soon as he heard that a letter had been delivered, and that it was written by the "sinner" Hua Xing to himself, Gao Shun put Chen Gong's proposal aside for the time being, and ordered the soldiers to bring the letter in.

"I've met General Gao, Lord Chen."

After entering the house and saluting, the guard put the letter in his hand on Gao Shun's table.

"What's so nice about the wolf's heart thief's letter?"

Although he didn't know the content of the letter, Chen Gong was worried that things would change, so he took the lead and said:

"General Gao, wouldn't it be more painful for me to say that it would be better for us to send troops directly, catch that thief in front of you, and listen to his own explanation?"

But this time, Gao Shun did not follow Chen Gong's intentions, shook his head and said:

"Now that they've been delivered, I'd like to hear what he has to say! Let's talk about sending troops later. Then he nodded at the soldier and said:

"Read it!"

The soldier who received the order quickly removed the rope and held a piece of straw paper with handwriting in his hand:

General Gao, don't see you for a day, don't come unharmed?

Leaving the city yesterday, Hua Mouben returned to the field wholeheartedly.

Unexpectedly, on the way, he met General Tang Sheng and 600 generals, and frankly said that he would go to the same side with him.

Although Hua was dissuaded, it was difficult to convince the other party, so he had to go with everyone.

Among the accompanying items, there were 37 carts of grain and grass, 4,300 taels of silver, and a number of jewels.

If Hua is alone, he must return it with both hands and dare not move lightly.

But at this moment, there are still more than 600 people with me, and if I return to the general, I am afraid that I will not last more than three days and will starve to death on the side of the road.

Therefore, Hua had the courage to ask you to borrow food, and first left this thing for the time being, in case of the need for the journey.

If you are grateful, you will be grateful.

When the coming day is stable, Hua will return it twice and will never break his promise!

The general's great grace will never be forgotten in the next.

Huaxing worshipped.

After the soldiers finished reading this handwritten letter from Huaxing, Gao Shun's face was obviously much better than before.

After sending the soldiers out, Gao Shun picked up the letter and read it again, as if he had forgotten about the sending of troops to conscription.

Seeing this, Chen Gong immediately frowned, stepped forward and asked tentatively:

"General Gao, Huaxing is scheming, you can't believe his words! Or let the old man ......"

didn't wait for Chen Gong to finish speaking, he saw Gao Shun waving his hand and interrupting the other party:

"Brother Gongtai, although I have not been in contact with Huaxing for a long time, this person has always been one and the same, and he is very honest, which you and I can see. Since he opened his mouth to borrow grain, this face will still be given by the general. And didn't he say that he will pay back twice in the future, we will only make money and not lose money! So, the matter of sending troops...... I think forget it. ”

"General Gao, although what Hua Xing said in his letter is good, who can guarantee that he will fulfill his promise? This person is extremely dangerous, General Lu lost his life because of his gullibility back then, General Gao can't repeat the mistakes of the past! If the tiger returns to the mountain like this, there will be troubles in the future. Please think again, general! Chen Gong said with an unwilling face.

"Alright, alright, it's not as serious as you say!" Hearing this, Gao Shun shook his head and chuckled:

"First of all, General Lu's death is not directly related to Huaxing, it's just your unilateral suspicion. In addition, even if he Huaxing can really dominate one side in the future, it will be a good thing! Let's use this little food and grass in exchange for a powerful ally, hehe, if you want me to say that we are the one who takes advantage. ”

Seeing that Chen Gong still wanted to say more, Gao Shun hurriedly stopped the other party and said first:

"That's it! Brother Gongtai doesn't need to say much. By the way, the transfer order of the trapped camp, should Brother Gongtai also return it to me? ”

Seeing that Gao Shun was determined not to let himself send troops, Chen Gong only let out a long sigh, with a face full of unwillingness, slowly took out the talisman he had stolen before from his sleeve, and handed it over to Gao Shun.
