In the face of chaos in the army, is this still the so-called elite of the Northern Song Dynasty, the last line of defense to defend the imperial power?

Gao Shide could hardly believe his eyes, but unfortunately this was the case. In the first half month of his new appointment, he visited almost all the military camps in the area under his jurisdiction, but the results were miserable. On the contrary, he received a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and in order to hide people's eyes, Gao Shide did not refuse. talked and laughed with every officer, and the life of Qinglou and wine lasted for more than two months.

Now in the secret room of his mansion was a list of about forty or fifty officers who had failed in the army. What is unwillingness? To put it bluntly, they are outliers in the army who refuse to go along with others, this kind of people are not social, and they are despised by many officers in these forbidden armies as hard bones and brainless.

But these people fell into Gao Shide's eyes, and it took him a lot of effort to find out the details of these people and screen out the list on the table.

A man sat in a secret room and looked at the room in a daze.

The next night, he changed into civilian clothes and brought an iron sword. The two of them quietly came to a dilapidated courtyard in the suburbs.

"Who?" With a knock on the door outside, a rough voice came out of the room.

But there was still no reply outside, but the knocking on the door continued.

"His grandmother, who dares to spread wild at the door of your grandfather Wei Chi." It won't be a man from the army, so he rushed out directly with a simple knife.

The iron sword who was guarding next to him was about to come out when he saw this scene, but was stopped by Gao Shide.

"It's okay, I'll come." Gao Shide lifted the candle lantern in his hand to illuminate his face.

"Gao Dutong, ha, what kind of wind blew you here." The tall and mighty man in front of him was even more majestic when he came out with a knife, and his evil spirit was exposed. But as soon as he saw the person who came, he hurriedly hid the knife behind him, and opened his mouth a little at a loss.

"I have something to talk to you about, it's inconvenient during the day, so I take the liberty to disturb at night, and I ask Commander Wei Chi to forgive me." Gao Shide got straight to the point as soon as he opened his mouth, which made it difficult for Wei Chizhan to refuse.

"Is it a guest who is in charge?" A weak woman poked her head out of the room and asked cautiously.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't come out and show up." Wei Chizhan waved his hand angrily and drove his wife back to the house unusually.

Only then did he come to greet Gao Shide. "Gao Dutong, you see that the humble house is shabby."

"It's okay, it's okay. Aren't there tables and stools in this courtyard? We'll talk about it right here. Gao Shide walked to the stone in the courtyard and gave Tie Jian a look.

The iron sword faded out of the courtyard and became on guard.

Seeing this scene, Wei Chizhan beat a drum in his heart. I don't have to refuse, I can only deal with it randomly. Don't look at Wei Chi Zhan's five big and three thick, but that heart has always been thick and fine, otherwise it would not become the first hob meat in the forbidden army.

The two sat facing each other on the stone, and in the middle there was a large stone with a chessboard carved on the plane. Although this courtyard is old and simple, it is elegant and has a bit of a hidden taste.

The two sat silently, and Wei Chizhan saw that Gao Shide was constantly observing the layout of the courtyard and looked at his figure, and his face showed a little surprise.

It's the middle of summer, and it's a bit idle to cool off at midnight.

"Lord Totong came to visit late at night, so he must not have come to visit my dilapidated courtyard!" In the end, it was Wei Chizhan who broke the strange atmosphere by opening his mouth.

"Haha, let Commander Wei Chi laugh. I was thinking that this courtyard was simple but elegant, and this should be the residence of a literati hermit. It's a pity that now it's you and me who are rough people, which is a little strange. Gao Shide said with a haha.

"That's what I said! Gao Dutong didn't know that my ancestors were the founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty, and the officials worshiped the country, but they have always suffered the loss of illiteracy. So the family passed on the ancestral teachings, and the descendants wanted to learn martial arts before following the literature. And this courtyard was left to me by my grandfather, who was a scholar all his life. Although there is no official body, Kyoto is full of peaches and plums. I have been in the army for so many years, and I have relied on the blessings of his old man to shelter me. Wei Chizhan was also recalled at this time, and said with emotion.

"My Dao Wei Chi is the commander of the gate, but I don't want to be a descendant of the great sage, I admire and admire." Gao Shide hurriedly stood up and bowed his hand and made a gentleman's salute.

"I can't do it, I can't do it. This is all a matter of the old yellow calendar, you see that I am just a useless man in the army now. Wei Chizhan hurriedly stood up and helped Gao Shide.

"I saw it at first sight, I think Commander Wei Chi is estimated to be a few years older than me, so I'll call you Brother Wei Chi! Don't always listen to everything. Gao Shi dragged Wei Chi Zhan Lala's family routine, chatted about the world, and then narrowed the distance between each other.

"Since Brother Gao looks up to me so much, then I'm not hypocritical." This sentence is relatively recognized by each other.

"Brother Wei Chi, I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace. My purpose is written on this piece of paper, and after Brother Wei Chi reads it, I will burn it. Gao Shide took out a piece of rice paper from his sleeve and handed it to Wei Chizhan.

He went back to the stone stool, waited quietly and did not continue to speak, but his eyes were fixed on the change in Wei Chizhan's face.

The more Wei Chizhan looked at the content on the paper, the more frightened he became, and after reading it again, he couldn't believe it and looked at it from the beginning. In an hour, he watched it three times in a row. Only then did he open his mouth and ask Gao Shide: "This is true." ”

"It's true, there will be a new appointment tomorrow. Wei Chi Zhan became the commander of the 15th Battalion of the Infantry Division. Gao Shide said categorically.

"Why?" Wei Chizhan looked at Gao Shide seriously.

"The edifice will fall, and troubled times will come. The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband. Gao Shide only left eight words, grabbed the rice paper and lit it on the candle, and burned it in front of Wei Chizhan. After that, he didn't need to say anything, turned around and beckoned Iron Sword to turn around and leave.

In the small courtyard in place, only Wei Chizhan was left, quietly looking at Gao Shide's departing back in a daze.

This night was destined to be sleepless, Gao Shide secretly borrowed Gao Yu's rights to promote a total of three commanders, namely Wei Chizhan of the 15th Battalion, Yang Ao of the 16th Battalion, the cousin of Yang Zhi, who is said to be the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi, and Lu Junyi of the 16th Battalion, and the other people on the list, plus the backbone of the personal soldiers brought back by Gao Shide from Jiangnan were all added. The three forbidden army battalions were instantly enriched, and according to the Northern Song Dynasty military system, there were also nine thousand nine. It's a pity that a battalion has five commanders, and Gao Shide has only installed three, and the others are all masters who eat empty salaries and don't do anything. In fact, the soldiers can make a head in a thousand except for the old, weak, sick and disabled. There is a long way to go, and the road is difficult.
