Chapter 7 White Forty-Four: Calculation

Lan Ziyi swallowed a mouthful of food and asked:

"Why did Master Gao think of this? We have only been exterminating the demon thieves for a few days, and the war has not stopped, and the sores have not recovered, and I am afraid that the court will not agree to send troops at this time. ”

Gao Yanzong said:

"I know that the imperial court will not agree, these days I have been sending letters to the military department one by one, requesting the dispatch of troops, and the court has ignored me at all, so I want to ask Wei Hou to write on my behalf. Wei Hou, your face is bigger than mine, and what you say must have weight. ”

Lan Ziyi put down his chopsticks and picked up the wine glass, he took a sip of wine with his lips, and the sourness of the turbid wine and the choking smell made Lan Ziyi frown. Lan Ziyi said:

"Even if my words carry more weight, but this kind of military event, I am still not qualified, I said that it is estimated that it will be the same as the tall man into the sea, and it is difficult to make waves."

Gao Yanzong sighed, clenched his fists and kept tapping on the table, and he said with a sigh in his words:

"Militaristic affairs, militaristic affairs, all the things that are said are military affairs, but when it comes to doing things, they all treat him as a child's play. Wei Hou, let me ask you, you said that we had exterminated the demon thief before, but where was the head that was cut off after the extermination? Where are the captured thieves? I only roughly counted the casualties of the Beijing army and the eastern army, we are about the same as the people who died as the demon thief, this can also be called the extermination of the thief? ”

Lan Ziyi listened to Gao Yanzong's chatter and didn't speak, he gave himself a glass of turbid wine and drank it again. Gao Yanzong didn't care about Lan Ziyi, he was still continuing to ask, he said:

"Wei Hou said that the demon thieves were destroyed, but what about the bandits who are all over the mountains in the southeastern counties now? That's all the main force of the thieves running out. Such a large group of people roared in the mountains and forests, and sooner or later they would come out to make trouble, and now the only reason why they didn't come out to make trouble was just because after Lei Youde collapsed, the group of murderers had no leader and no one to lead. If you wait for the internal struggle of the demon thieves to be completed, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people will be ruled by one person with an iron fist, and then Jiangdong will no longer be owned by the state! ”

Gao Yanzong said and tapped the table with his knuckles. Gao Yanzong said that Lan Ziyi is not ignorant, this time he went south to Yuhang, so wouldn't Fifth Brother Chen be connected with the demon thief.

Gao Yanzong's eyes were like torches, blazing, he stared at Lan Ziyi, just waiting for Lan Ziyi to answer. Lan Ziyi picked up the chopsticks after drinking, he wanted to take a bite and think about it, but Gao Yanzong was familiar with it, who could bear the embarrassment of moving chopsticks at this time?

So Lan Ziyi sighed and said:

"Master Gao has a point, I will write a piece of music and hand it when I go back, and strive for the opportunity for Lord Gao to go south."

When Gao Yanzong heard Lan Ziyi agree, he immediately smiled, and he patted Lan Ziyi's arm and smiled:

"I know that Wei Hou is a responsible man, and you must be responsible for this. It doesn't matter if I go or not, anyone can go, as long as the thieves in the south are suppressed. “

Lan Ziyi shook his head and smiled:

"Master Gao, you have already suffered a selfless loss for a while, why don't you have a long memory? You have nothing to do and ask for troops, but you give others the opportunity to win, you are really stupid. “

Gao Yanzong smiled:

"Stupid is stupid, stupid people have stupid blessings. It doesn't matter if I lose a little, as long as the country is good. Alas, by the way, Marquis Wei, you have to remember to get me the food and grass I am short of. “

Lan Ziyi pointed to the turbid wine and coarse rice on the table and said with a smile:

"As for this bit of stuff you prepared to entertain me, I was choked when I ate it, but you asked me to take care of it for you and asked me to find a salary for you, and I was the big fool in my feelings?"

Gao Yanzong laughed, he patted Lan Ziyi and said:

"When have you ever been stupid, a shrewd ghost? I see that you are comfortable with these old fritters in the capital, how can you be stupid? Even if you are stupid, you are willing, our friendship, you won't help this little favor? Right? “

Lan Ziyi looked at the evil smile on Gao Yanzong's face, listened to his teasing, shook his head vigorously and sighed, he said:

"You're less here, so you're cheap. My three brothers are probably coming soon, you remove the food from this table, how can you continue to treat people when the dishes are all crippled? “

Gao Yanzong pressed a bear paw on Lan Ziyi's shoulder, and he said with a smile:

"I've prepared it for your brother a long time ago, this time it is estimated that they have already eaten, you and I will eat alone at this table, come, we won't get drunk today."

Lan Ziyi scolded:

"I'm drunk with your turbid wine, I'm afraid I'm going to be poisoned here! Where did you go with that good wine last time you went to my eldest brother's wedding? Why don't you bring it to me? “

Then the two laughed and scolded, and bragged while eating and drinking, so unhappy.

In the next few days, Lan Ziyi stayed in the camp to play a good horse game, and the three brothers of the Tao family practiced martial arts with Gao Yanzong and the soldiers. After playing like this for nearly a decade, Lan Ziyi said goodbye to Gao Yanzong and returned to Beijing. It's not that Lan Ziyi doesn't want to leave, it's just that Gao Yanzong is so kind that he keeps him playing, he can't get out, and there are thousands of people in the camp, inside and out, what is the situation, who is credible and who is not, it takes time to find out, Lan Ziyi is also doing this to leave time for Tao Zhulu.

Lan Ziyi wanted to go, Gao Yanzong was naturally reluctant, but the time dragged on for so long Gao Yanzong had to let go, and he could only send people away if he was reluctant, and this delivery was sent to the east gate of the capital, seeing that the city was about to enter, Gao Yanzong hugged his fists and said to Lan Ziyi:

"Wei Hou, I won't send it far!"

Lan Ziyi said:

"Lord Gao has sent me to the capital, isn't this far? Go back quickly, if you don't go back before the camp closes, don't be impeached, you went out on a safari with me last two days and already broke military discipline. “

Gao Yanzong said:

"Wei Hou just had a meal with me, and then settled my food, grass and military salary, and the soldiers have already been paid, so why should I accompany you out hunting?"

Lan Ziyi hugged his fists:

"It's a little thing, I have to help me if my lord is in trouble. Go back quickly, and if you are seen in front of you, the adults of the Goshidai will find you. “

Gao Yanzong turned around and said:

"If Wei Hou arranges to stop, remember to ask me for someone, and I will send you all to the capital."

After that, the two of them clasped their fists and saluted, which was considered a farewell.

After resigning from Gao Yanzong, Lan Ziyi was not in the mood to continue to stay, and the hungry people outside the gate of the capital were still in groups, but fortunately, there were a few more places to give porridge this time. Lan Ziyi couldn't bear to look at it more, so he urged Ma and the Tao brothers to hurry into the city.

Entering the urn city was like entering another cave, Lan Ziyi unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and the peach deer on the side stepped forward and said:

"Young master, Boss Cao is urging you to do that again."

Lan Ziyizhen closed his eyes and relaxed, and said when he heard the words:

"Is it the court that asked him about the loan? This matter can be said slowly, he can just transport the money and grain to Jihu Ying. “

Peach Chase Tiger Road:

"Young master, it's not a long-term solution for you to perfunctory Boss Cao like this, and we can't count the amount of money we spent."

Lan Ziyi said:

"I know, but I don't have time to worry about him right now. But big brother, how is the situation in the camp? “

Peach Chase Tiger Road:

"It's all my own people, and the thousands of people under Gao Yanzong are all retreated from the Northern Army, and they are all connected."

Tao Zhulu added:

"The veterans who came out to serve Gao Yanzong's living are left behind in the original camp, and the others are all our people, young master, you can rest assured."

Peach Rabbit said at this time:

"That Gao Yanzong really doesn't know who the sky is, who does he think he is? Thousands of people gathered under him without eating, drinking, or money, and went out to cut the horses and grass and came back to feed the horses, how could there be such a good thing, if it wasn't for the presence of the Marquis, how could these soldiers work for him in vain? You say yes, young master? “

Saying that, Tao Zhutu raised his chin to Lan Ziyi. Lan Ziyi didn't answer Tao Zhutu, he took a deep breath, looked up to the sky and sighed:

"Master Gao is not straightforward and shallow, he just believes me, if people don't believe me, I can't even deceive a three-year-old child, such a loyal and courageous martyr dissects my heart and lungs, but I calculate him everywhere, is it really right to do this?"

Hearing this, Tao Zhuhu clenched his fists and said:

"Young master, the ancients have a cloud: the big line does not care about the details, the big gift does not give up, and now the main force of the Eastern Army is occupying the Beijing camp, this is the image of the man-made sword, if the young master is indifferent to this, then it is really a problem. We sent people to fill in the Jihu camp, and the usual transfer is all Gao Yanzong's final say, do we have any intention of harming him, we are just prepared for trouble, how can we calculate? Wei Hou thought too much. “
