Chapter 17: Liwei (3)

"One-two-one, one-two-one, work hard......"

"It's all fast for Lao Tzu, if Lao Tzu is punished, don't think about it for you."

"Hurry up! If Lao Tzu is punished by the prince, Lao Tzu will punish your captain, you give Lao Tzu, each team is not allowed to fall behind, and the last team will be punished. "One of the brigade commanders is now learning and selling.

……

The loud slogans and shouts resounded throughout the county, and the brigade commanders, in order not to let themselves be punished, pressed this pressure on the captain of each team, and the captain of each team pressed on the captain, and the chief pressed on the young man, so that a layer of high pressure was formed.

"Er, dog, hurry up."

"Brother Shunzi, I really can't run, you guys run first!"

"The captain can say, no one can be left behind, otherwise we will all be punished."

"What then?" Erdan said.

"Erdan, the two of us are the fastest runners, and we take turns dragging Ergou forward." Captain Junko said.

Things like this are found in every brigade, after all, these young and strong physiques are different, some have better physiques, some have weaker physiques, everyone helps each other to run forward little by little, at first everyone is very full of physical strength, all run faster, but then it slows down.

But even so, all the queues did not appear in the slightest confusion, all the fast runners with the slow runners, the fast runners naturally kept complaining, and in the face of the complaints of their companions, those who dragged their feet were naturally very embarrassed; But in addition to complaining at first, gradually these people stopped complaining, because they no longer had the strength to complain.

"Lord Wang, your trick is really amazing; These young men are obedient to your taming. Tang Bi said with great admiration.

"Although they will not be able to eat for a day today, tomorrow's food will be arranged better, so that they can eat a meal of meat."

"No! Commanded by humility. Tang Bi said: "By the way, Lord Wang, how to deal with these dozen spies." ”

Guo Qi pondered for a while and said: "Prison it first, and then this king will go to trial one by one, and this king will come to see who is plotting against me behind my back." ”

"Lord Wang, does this still need to be judged? It must have been Rong Zheng that bastard who did it. Tang Bi said viciously: "We set him up in Jingzhao Mansion and robbed his private treasury; He's definitely here to get revenge on us now. ”

"Don't talk nonsense without evidence." Guo Qi said with an ugly face: "Rong Zheng is a second-grade member of the imperial court, there is no evidence, you are framed, and you will be punished by the imperial court, so you must be cautious in the future." ”

"No! Humble duty and obey the teachings of the king. Tang Bi said respectfully.

"Hold them all down! This king wants to be alone and quiet. ”

"No! Commanded by humility. ”

After Tang Bi pressed the spy and left, Guo Qi returned to the baggage camp by himself, and looked at the two grain tramples that were burned into ashes by the fire, and felt very lucky, fortunately, last night's action was fast, and the handling was also very proper, and the loss was minimized, if all the grain and grass were burned last night; The consequences are really unimaginable, first of all, Guo Qi's prestige and credibility will definitely be seriously hit, and the tens of thousands of people who followed Guo Qi to move west don't know how many people will starve to death, thinking of this, Guo Qi clenched his fists tightly.

Guo Qi said silently in his heart: "No matter who it is, since you don't let me Guo Qi feel better, then you don't want to live in this world." ”

In fact, what Tang Bi said just now was right, Guo Qi himself knew that Rong Zheng was the most likely to be behind the scenes, but if it was really Rong Zheng, Guo Qi found that he had no way to start for a while; First of all, the things that Guo Qi did in Jingzhao Mansion were completely unreasonable, 'killing people in the street, forcibly looting the treasury, robbing the Rong family's furniture treasury and horses', no matter which one was taken out, it was a capital crime.

The reason why Guo Qi is okay now is because Rong Zheng has all these things in his pocket, after all, Guo Qi has the handle of Rong Zheng in his hands, and there are many unsightly things in it, and a restraining force has formed between the two; In addition, the situation in Yongzhou is very bad now, and the grain and grass can't survive this winter.

Fortunately, Guo Qi still has some gold and silver in his hands that can be used to buy grain, but bulk grain can only be bought in Guanzhong Road, after all, Guanzhong is very close to Yongzhou, if you go south to Hanzhong Shu to buy food, Guo Qi's money to buy back the grain is estimated to be not enough even on the road, and the purchase of bulk grain in Guanzhong Road is naturally indispensable to Rong Zheng's cooperation.

After such a calculation, Guo Qi found that even if he knew that he was calculated by Rong Zheng, he still had no way to take Rong Zheng, which made Guo Qi very depressed; This is also a matter of no choice, after all, Guo Qi's foundation is still shallow, or there is no foundation at all, and there are no connections, in this unfamiliar place, and in a poor and remote place, it is difficult to establish a foundation.

When the sun was about to set in the west, 30,000 young people finally finished these five laps, and the next two laps could not be said to be running, but walking; After these five laps, everyone felt that their legs were like Mount Tai, and they couldn't take a step if they wanted to, so they could only move back little by little, and after returning to their respective tents, they fell asleep.

——————

On the other side, in the temporary cell, Guo Qi's sharp eyes swept over the dozen or so spies, and all of them lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly at Guo Qi's gaze.

"This king asks you, 'Who sent you?' Guo Qi asked everyone solemnly.

"The prince spares his life...... everyone told Guo Qi the whole process of the incident.

Things are the same as Guo Qi and Tang Bi guessed, these people were indeed sent by Rong Zheng, and their purpose was to take revenge on Guo Qi, burn all the grain and grass baggage, and let Guo Qi, the king of Yong, starve to death in the land of Yongzhou this winter.

After interrogating these spies, Guo Qi called Tang Bi, Zhuo Yidao, and Sun Guoqing to his room.

"You heard what those people said just now, what do you think?" Guo Qi asked the three of them.

"I will take people back to Jingzhao Mansion and do the honor." Zhuo Yidao said in a very sharp tone.

"Rong Zheng is a second-grade member of the imperial court, and it is not so easy to kill him."

"What's wrong with the second-rank members of the imperial court, you're scared, old grandson."

"I'm not afraid, but will killing Rong Zheng solve the problem? Can we still kill all the officials of Guanzhong Province and Jingzhao Mansion? ”

……

The three of them quarreled endlessly, but nothing came of it.

"Alright, stop arguing." Guo Qi said impatiently to the three of them: "One hammer in the east and one mallet in the west, it's useless to talk about it." ”

Originally, Guo Qi didn't have much hope for the idea of the three of them, he just wanted to take this opportunity to test the three of them, as for what to do, Guo Qi had already thought about it in his heart.
