The walls of Hakuba Castle are very special, the outer walls are frighteningly high, and the whole is particularly smooth with white plaster, and the inner city is made of bricks and stones to form a bottom-up ramp to facilitate soldiers to go up and down, while there are very few floors like stairs, only under the main castle tower.

Gao Hongyi stepped on the wide stone steps and walked up, and the wide stone steps made people feel very comfortable. Li Zhong was very interested in the ramp that could go straight up and down not far away, "Brother Yi, I didn't pay attention when we came here before, and it was quite convenient for this group of people to go up and down. ”

"It's also convenient to escape, just roll down." Mei Rou strode over and said coldly. She had just dealt with a case of a sergeant robbing the poor of his property, which made the other sergeants dissatisfied and shouted around her for a long time, and in a fit of rage she arrested all of them.

However, the sergeant's failure to abide by military discipline kept reporting to her, and Gao Hongyi also asked her to escort the soldiers out of the city, and her subordinates were a little insufficient, so she came to Gao Hongyi to borrow troops.

Li Zhong didn't care, and looked at her with a pair of smug eyes, "Xuanwei made the adults not to deal with the soldiers making trouble, what kind of leisure is there to hide here!" Why, I can't do it anymore. ”

"If you want me to say, you're doing a good job. Just follow the general's orders, whoever doesn't listen to the military order will be arrested, and see if they dare to underestimate you. Li Zhong said obediently.

Mei Rou glared at him and said lightly: "What General Li said is reasonable, if General Li violates the military order another day, don't blame me for not being emotional!" ”

"Grab them all." She added with a smile.

Li Zhong was a little annoyed by choking, "You dare!" ”

"The general's orders, why don't I dare!" Mei Rou looked at Gao Hongyi as she spoke, and he slowly walked upward, as if he didn't care, but he knew better than anyone else, and Mei Rou knew this.

"General Li won't even listen to the general's orders, right?" Mereu asked.

Li Zhong's face was red and his neck was thick, he didn't know what to say, and he held back a sentence for a while, "Tong Yan Wuji, I don't have the same knowledge as you." ”

Gao Hongyi had already walked up to the city tower at this time, and he looked back at his two subordinates, his expression became serious. "Mei Rou, you are doing the right thing, you represent me, as long as there is a person in the army who violates military law, even Li Zhong must be engaged in military law!"

"Brother Yi, she is just a child, how can you give her so much power!" Li Zhong was a little depressed and stepped forward to say.

"Lord Mei is not a child, she is my Xuanwei envoy!" Gao Hongyi walked forward after speaking.

Li Zhong understood that Gao Hongyi was beating himself, and after pondering for a while, he said to Mei Rou: "Mei Xuanwei, please forgive me for my words." ”

"I won't forgive you." Mei Rou said calmly, and then went to chase Gao Hongyi.

Li Zhong was stunned by these words, looking at her back, and suddenly became a little overwhelmed.

Suddenly, Mei Rou stopped, turned around and smiled at him and shouted, "Unless you have always been loyal to the general!" ”

"When it comes to loyalty to the general, no one compares to me." Li Zhong chased after him in great strides.

At this time, it was already afternoon, and the wind was blowing more and more violently, blowing the blood flag with the surname 'Gao' on the head of White Horse City.

Gao Hongyi was looking into the city, and the sergeants came to report that they had found Yuan Haoqian and the others, and sent them to Wang Yinglin's city lord's mansion, where Yuan Hui'er was waiting for them.

Gao Hongyi nodded and asked the sergeants to go down. He noticed Mei Rou coming up, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Mei Rou told him about borrowing soldiers, Gao Hongyi inquired about the situation in detail, and then sent the Tiger Killing Battalion to her.

"Brother Yi, what about the soldiers in White Horse City, do you want to release them all?" Li Zhong walked over and said.

Gao Hongyi didn't answer, pointed to White Horse City and asked, "Brother Li, what do you think of this White Horse City?" ”

"Easy to defend and difficult to attack, the west can be used as a barrier to resist the Mongols, and the south can be used as a barrier to resist the Western Xia Kingdom, if there is a trustworthy person in charge, the north moat is worry-free!" Li Zhong thought about it and said, "But this is not what I said, but I heard your father talk about it before. ”

"Father's point makes sense!" Gao Hongyi said with emotion.

"You don't want me to stay here as the lord of the city, do you?!" Li Zhong asked curiously.

Gao Hongyi looked at him seriously and said, "You want to be the lord of this city?" ”

"As long as you can rest assured of me, it doesn't hurt for me to stay here."

Gao Hongyi snorted, "You don't want me to let you do it, you still have to follow me to gallop across the field!" ”

"Haha, Brother Yi still understands me." Li Zhong laughed and said, "I'm just a rough person, it's okay for me to lead the troops to fight, let me do some trivial things that this city lord handles all day long, I really don't have that patience." ”

"It's kind of self-aware!"

"Then who do you think is suitable?" Gao Hongyi asked again.

Li Zhong pondered for a long time before he said, "Chen Xuan? ”

"It's a personal choice, but he is too stable, he can do things, but it is a little difficult to defend the city, so he has to be assigned a deputy."

But this expedition against Wang Yinglin, although he did not succeed in persuading Wang Yinglin, he also suffered a lot because of it, and it can be regarded as a meritorious service. In addition, he was originally the city lord, even if he was asked to be the city lord of White Horse City, he would not rise or fall, would he not be able to convince the public! Li Zhong worried.

"Then give him all the small cities near White Horse City!"

"That's a good idea!" Li Zhong said with a smile.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the guards shouted from under the castle tower, "General." The voice he made with all his strength was a little hoarse, but Gao Hongyi, who was high up, still listened a little weakly.

shouted a few times in a row before Gao Hongyi heard it. He looked down and saw that the wide streets of White Horse City were full of surrenderers. His own guards were blocked by the crowd and couldn't get up, so he had to shout anxiously.

Gao Hongyi saw that they were wearing white military uniforms, with a huge word 'king' embroidered on their chests, and their hair was blown to their faces by the strong wind, but no one pulled them away. A group of soldiers from the Black Flag Lieutenant Battalion surrounded the troops tightly. "Let's go!" He heard Mei Feng's loud urging, and the group of soldiers walked forward quickly with their heads held high.

"Brother Li, what did you just ask me?" Gao Hongyi asked.

Li Zhong was stunned for a moment, and quickly remembered, "Do you want to let the sergeant of White Horse City go?" ”

"Such a good soldier, it's a pity to let it go, so let's return to your city defense camp!"

"That's great, I'm short of people right now!" Li Zhong replied happily.

At this time, the guards who were blocked squeezed up, panting and saying anxiously: "General, Mei Xuanwei has surrounded all the White Horse City Lord's Mansion to arrest Yuan Hui'er's friend." ”

"Friend, that friend?"

"A man named Lu Jun."

"Lu Jun, Lu Qingping?!"

"That's the man!"

Gao Hongyi was puzzled: "Why do you want to arrest this person?" ”

"Mei Xuanwei said that this person is Wang Yinglin's advisor!"
