Chapter 19: Exploring the Village's Burrows
That night, Gao Hongyi was reading a book in the room, and his subordinate Qin Xi suddenly came to him, it turned out that his father Gao Yuan had something to discuss with him, and Gao Hongyi followed him.
On the way there, he secretly wondered if there was something important to see him at this time, when Lord Qincha was coming tomorrow and his father was busy greeting him.
The two soon arrived in the living room, Gao Yuanhe was talking to Li Zhong, and when he saw Gao Hongyi arrive, he hurriedly let him in.
Gao Hongyi noticed the sorrow on the faces of the two of them, it is understandable that his father has been worried about a lot of things recently, but Li Zhong has always been straightforward, and his appearance makes Gao Hongyi puzzled.
"Father," Gao Hongyi stepped forward to bow, "Father has something to look for me?" ”
Gao Yuanhe motioned for him to sit down first, and then said to Li Zhong, "Tell Yi'er what you found today." ”
"Yes, General." Li Zhong replied, "Young Master Hongyi, in the past two days, my subordinates have been investigating the generals who secretly communicated with Ma Tangfeng, and today I finally found a clue. This afternoon, his subordinates saw a general of a large city defense battalion go to Ma Tangfeng's temporary residence. ”
"Ah, the people of the city defense battalion? Are you sure you read that right? Gao Hongyi asked suspiciously.
"Sure, the subordinates can see it clearly, after that person walked from Ma Tangfeng, he went around and finally returned to the city defense camp."
"Do you know what they said?"
"Ma Tangfeng's people are very tightly guarded, and his subordinates have not been able to stick to it, so they have not heard it."
Gao Yuanhe interjected on the side, "Yi'er, what do you think about the people from the city defense camp going to see Ma Tangfeng?" ”
"It would be nice to know what they were plotting, but now I don't even know who this person is, or even whose person it is, it's a bit difficult to do!" Gao Hongyi said helplessly.
"The city defense battalion belongs to Deputy General Shi Hu, and it should be his people!" Li Zhong thought for a while and said.
"It's hard to say this, my father suspected that Shi Hu had two hearts earlier, if it was really Shi Hu's person, he would go to see Ma Tangfeng at this time, there must be something important. For the sake of safety, we can directly arrest Shi Hu and interrogate their plot!
But if it weren't Shi Hu's people but someone else, if we arrested Shi Hu so rashly, the city defense camp would definitely be chaotic, and at that time the situation would be out of control and out of our control. In addition, Lord Qincha will arrive tomorrow, and all the city lords will also come over, and the city defense camp has the important responsibility of protecting their safety, and they can't afford to mess up now! Gao Hongyi replied cautiously.
"Otherwise, I'll go to the city defense camp and turn that man out now." Li Zhong said eagerly on the side.
"Reckless!" Gao Yuanhe scolded angrily. "If you go over so rashly, if you find that person, it will be fine, but if you can't find it, it won't be a surprise."
Gao Hongyi interjected with a mysterious face, "Father is reasonable, now it is the most important thing to find out what Ma Tangfeng is plotting, as for who is secretly communicating with them, it is only a matter of time before they are arrested!" ”
Gao Yuanhe nodded, and instructed Li Zhongdao, "You go down to make arrangements, and continue to follow the Ma family, as well as Shi Hu, and the generals above the commander of the entire city defense battalion!" Find out what they do and what they say every day. Whenever there are more than ten people in the city defense camp, you must find out where they are going, what they are going to do, and who told them to go! If there is anything wrong, report it to me immediately, and don't reveal your whereabouts recklessly. ”
Li Zhong responded and went down to prepare, Gao Yuanhe said to Gao Hongyi gently: "Yi'er, I heard that you went to the Tiger Killing Camp today, how do you feel." ”
"Well-trained, extraordinary, worthy of the tiger and wolf division of the North Protector."
"You have overlooked the most important point, they are also the loyal soldiers of the Northern Protector, they are all soldiers who fought and escaped on the battlefield with their father earlier, and it took his father ten years to assemble these people, just to make them a wonder soldier, an impregnable bloodthirsty wall of the Northern Protector's Mansion. Now, as their commander, you must make good use of them and make them the undefeated and victorious army of the Northern Protectorate! ”
"Yes, father, the child must remember it."
......
In the early morning of the second day, Gao Hongyi got up early in the morning and rode to the tiger killing camp. At that time, the tiger-killing soldiers who were not satisfied with Gao Hongyi yesterday had already lined up neatly, waiting for his arrival.
After Gao Hongyi arrived, he stood confidently in front of the team, looked at them for a while, and waved his big hand, "Ride your war horse and follow me!" ”
Gao Hongyi turned his horse's head and galloped away into the distance, and the soldiers immediately stepped on their horses and followed him in unison, and the group of people went away like mud cows into the sea!
Gao Hongyi took them to see one after another villages that had been slaughtered and destroyed by the Tangut people, and the hearts of the soldiers became heavy, and everyone's faces were filled with endless sadness, as if there were their dead relatives and brothers.
Gao Hongyi felt it at that time, and chanted loudly, "The tragic soldiers cry and scold everything, behead the enemy and express their pride, hug the family letter and fight for the ghost, and return home to the cold cave!" ”
Everyone stopped hearing this, and their faces were full of sorrow.
Gao Hongyi looked at these soldiers quietly, and said slowly, "You are all brave and knowledgeable, affectionate and righteous warriors in the army, seeing this situation, you must all have relatives in your hearts, and you will be more grateful."
Thank you for your survival on the battlefield, thank you for having food and clothing now, and in time you will be grateful for having such a good commander as me. Of course, you don't believe it, and I can't convince you to believe it. Because you know that Hongyi has never been on the battlefield, let alone escaped death. No matter how clever Hongyi is, everything is just on paper!
But today, you know why you are alive and not by fighting your own enemies! Yes, so is Destiny!
The reason why you are standing here is not what you found on your own! Also, Destiny also!
And why am I able to rule you, and even more, destiny!
You can not believe me Gao Hongyi, but the destiny of heaven cannot be violated! You can't believe in heaven and fate!
Perhaps, now you still have doubts about the destiny of heaven in your hearts, and you have doubts about me! I'll give you a chance to resign yourself to your fate!
But before that, if you don't listen to me, that's what will happen to you! ”
Gao Hongyi said with a sword and cut off the sabre of the guards beside him! Riding his horse shouted, "Back to camp!" ”
Gao Hongyi rushed forward, he knew in his heart that although his words just now would make the disobedient people of the Tiger Killing Camp obey his orders for a short time, but if he wanted them to obey his orders forever, he could only convince them on the battlefield! But now, it seems that his goal has been achieved.
Everyone followed Gao Hongyi back to the camp with admiration, and was about to disperse, only to hear two sergeants with a cauldron on their backs, one fat and one thin, talking as they walked over.
"It's also said that the old management camp has been taking care of the warehouse for so many years, and he has never lost anything, but hundreds of sets of winter clothes have been stolen in the past few days. And there is no trace of it at all, so many things, you say that the evil door is not the evil door. ”
"The evil door is not an evil door, we don't know, we know that the old camp is afraid that he will be questioned."
"Is it true that the uniforms were stolen?" Gao Hongyi asked in a puzzled voice.
The thin man saw Gao Hongyi staring at him and hurriedly replied, "This is indeed the case, Lord Commander." ”
Gao Hongyi pondered for a moment, his face immediately changed, and then he summoned the scattered sergeants to run outside the camp!
