Half a month later, on this day, Pan Wudu, as the chief general of the Shouyang County Army, held a meeting above the team leader in the large camp of the barracks and school field.

On Gao Yue's side, in addition to himself, Han Yong, Li Hu, He Cheng, and Peng Jun sat in turn; On Pan Wudu's side, Mohulu and Che Lu sat crookedly.

Zhi Ping also has 200 direct subordinates, but there is no team leader, and only Zhi Ping is under the command of one person.

In the middle of the camp, Pan Wudu sat comfortably, he glanced at everyone, and said, "Today, there is no big deal to gather everyone. It's just that I heard that the Huns in the east are gearing up and are about to provoke a war, and they have to compete with our Great Jin Dynasty, so the battle is about to start. ”

Mohulu said: "Your Majesty ascended the throne in Chang'an, all the people in the world come to Qin, everyone works hard to serve the country, and they will definitely be able to wipe out the Hun clowns in one fell swoop, and the recovery of the Central Plains is not afraid of empty words." ”

Pan Wudu nodded, mumbled, straightened up and said, "This is natural." Those Huns, who used to be just border slaves of the imperial court, won some battles by luck, and then they also flaunted their might, called the king and the emperor, and now such arrogant and rebellious people who have no self-knowledge are everywhere, hum. ”

He suddenly realized the change in his mood, hurriedly restrained himself, slowed down his tone, leaned back in his chair again, and said, "When the time comes, the whole country will participate, and everyone will have a share." Although we are in the rear, we can't pay less attention, and the military affairs in the city are in your hands, so you can't relax. ”

Pan Wudu talked for a long time, and then changed his words and said: "I mean, everyone will work hard for a long time." Therefore, give everyone a three-day holiday, and after three days, everyone must be mobilized to repair the city, strengthen patrols, attach importance to defense, and wait for the edict of King Qin of Chang'an at any time, etc., then we must devote ourselves wholeheartedly. ”

When Gao Yue heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. He sat still, but his mind began to think. When it comes to wars, in today's world, it is commonplace for big battles to continue to fight small battles, and it is not as common as usual, as soon as I hear that people are fighting, they are highly nervous and at a loss.

Pan Wudu's solemn emphasis on the imminent arrival of war actually did not have much effect, and everyone here was accustomed to seeing swords and guns. Moreover, he said for a long time, but the focus was not on specific military affairs, but on giving everyone three days off. When a person speaks, he has a purpose, so what is Pan Wudu's true intention?

It's a bit of an inexplicable feeling, but what's wrong.

Gao Yue's sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Pan Wudu, Pan Wudu was also looking at Gao Yue, as soon as the two looked at each other, Pan Wudu immediately looked away, but quickly turned back, his expression was calm, as if nothing happened.

Gao Yue couldn't grasp the clue, his eyes wandered, and he looked at Che Lu Hui, who smiled at him, turned his head to look at Pan Wudu again, and listened carefully.

Pan Wudu said again: "From tomorrow, I will give everyone three days off to relax and relax." But you are not allowed to go out of the city, as long as it is in the city, I opened it up and said, eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, whatever you want, Captain Pontus should not have seen it. ”

His gaze moved to Gao Yue's face again, as if nothing had happened, squeezed a smile, and said, "But Gao Sima is an exception. Lieutenant Bendu heard that your hometown is in Bailing Village in the north of the city, and there are elderly relatives at home, so you might as well go home and have a look, and do your filial piety. ”

Gao Yue's brain flashed, and he finally found that something was wrong. It's a smile!

Chelu smiled back at him. Pan Wudu even smiled at him. But in the past, this was simply not possible.

Pan Wudu and others, every time they meet, they are either full of disdain or disgust, and there is never a trace of good color, not to mention that not long ago, the two sides just clashed openly on the street, completely tearing the skin.

Moreover, looking at their crooked or leaning loose sitting posture, it also deliberately reveals a kind of casualness and relaxation, not as tense as before.

When things go wrong, there must be demons. Although I don't know the true purpose of Pan Wudu and others for the time being, we must maintain a high degree of vigilance, and we will not be wrong to take one step and think three steps.

But it's always a good thing to be able to go home to visit Hu Laohan. Gao Yue thought for a moment, and said quietly: "In this way, thank you for the kindness of Captain Pan." I have a younger brother, Feng Liang, and I don't know if I can go back to my hometown together. ”

"Yes, yes!" Pan Wudu agreed, very refreshing.

When Li Hu heard this, he couldn't help but move, he had been away from his hometown for a long time, he was worried about his father, and he also wanted to go home to visit, hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but stand up and said: "Pan Duwei, my subordinates also want to take a leave, go home with Gao Sima to visit relatives, and hope that Pan Duwei will be successful, and my subordinates are grateful." ”

Pan Wudu thought about it, and unexpectedly agreed to come down. He stressed that except for Gao Yue and the other three people, who can return to their hometowns to visit relatives together, the rest of the generals are not allowed to leave Shouyang County.

Pan Wudu explained a few more words about the scene of hoping that everyone would work together and serve the country, and then left, and Che Luhui and Mohulu followed and left.

The rest of the people, seeing that Gao Yue was still sitting still, did not leave thoughtfully. Han Yong said: "Today's meeting is a little strange, and there is always an inexplicable feeling. ”

Gao Yue's mind was spinning like a windmill, looking at the bright sunlight outside the tent, he squinted slightly, and said, "Do you also think there is anything wrong?" ”

Peng Jun pursed his lips and said with a sneer: "The one surnamed Pan, when he sees me and others on weekdays, he just wants to swallow it all." Why did you suddenly drink the wrong decoction today, and you changed your kind face. It's just that no matter how kind he is, Lao Tzu still feels bored when he sees it. ”

"Yes. But if he shows favor like this today, could it be that he was troubled by us last time, and he really wants to make peace with us? He Cheng wondered.

Han Yong groaned, "No. There must be a secret to this. It is a good deed to let Gao Sima return to his hometown to visit. But Pan Wudu took the initiative, but it was very unreasonable...... Don't? ”

Han Yong was suddenly startled, and hurriedly said to Gao Yue: "Could it be that he wants to secretly ambush you on your way back to your hometown and want to do wrong?" ”

Han Yong is really thoughtful, long-term, calm and steady, and can quickly grasp the key points when considering problems, which is his characteristic of being superior to others.

Gao Yue had also thought of this, and when he heard what Han Yong said, he said in a deep voice: "I am also thinking about this. When I return to my hometown tomorrow, I will only have three people around me, as long as I ambush a team that has been prepared in advance, and take advantage of my unpreparedness to attack suddenly, I will be able to succeed. ”

Li Hu suddenly changed color and said angrily: "Fuck." This dog thief is so vicious, Lao Tzu also changed his temper and became kind, it turned out that he didn't want to bite people, but began to want to eat people. ”

He Cheng and Peng Jun also scolded. Peng Jun was under Pan Wudu's department, and he was bullied for a long time, and he was always invincible with his fists and four hands, and his arms couldn't twist his thighs. Now that he is under the command of Gao Yue, he has a strong backer and the help of his comrades-in-arms, and he is no longer willing to endure it, so he proposes to simply lead his troops and capture Pan Wudu by surprise.

Gao Yue waved his hand, stopped the restlessness of several people, and said: "Since they want to try me, how can they be defenseless and recklessly attack, not to mention that they have no chance of winning, and they have also been accused of taking the initiative to provoke." ”

Gao Yue turned his eyes and saw that Han Yong was still silent, he frowned and thought about it, so he raised his head and said, "Brother Han, do you have any advice?" ”

"Ahh I do have a mind. Han Yong gently rubbed his thick mustache, his eyes flashed in his sunken eye sockets, and he said slowly: "Suppose Pan Wudu does have bad intentions and intends to ambush and attack halfway. Then there's a section that I can't figure out. ”

He stood up, walked to the gate of the camp, stretched out his head, and pretended to look left and right casually, except for a group of personal soldiers who had brought him, who were still waiting not far away, and there were no idlers waiting.

Han Yong strode back to everyone's side and said in a low voice: "What I can't figure out is that Pan Wudu has repeatedly forbidden anyone to leave the city. At that time, if he sends few people, he can hide his eyes and ears when he secretly goes out of the city, but depending on the master's skills, he will definitely worry that things will not be successful, and he will even show his feet. ”

"If there are many people sent, one hundred and eighty people, in front of everyone, didn't he slap himself in the face? And if there is a big movement, it will inevitably arouse our vigilance. Therefore, he should not send a single soldier out of the city. So, where is he going to find people to carry out this ghostly trick of assassination? ”

Gao Yue was originally sitting, but when he heard this, Huo Di got up, patted Han Yong's shoulder appreciatively, and said in a deep voice: "What Brother Han said is exactly where the doubts and entanglements in my heart lie. ”

"Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief." Gao Yue sneered, "Pan Wudu must have some plan, there is no doubt about it at this level. I thought the same as Brother Han, it was nothing more than intercepting me halfway. But I can't think of anyone he can instruct to act. ”

The people deliberated, but to no avail. I wanted to send more people to protect each other, and I remembered that Pan Wudu had repeatedly emphasized that except for Gao Yue, Li Hu, and Feng Liang, who were allowed to return to their hometowns, no one was allowed to go out of the city, so he had no choice but to give up.

Peng Jun scratched his head, and hesitated in a rough voice: "Lord, our old Peng and his more than seventy Han soldiers are all counting on the lord to be a backer, and fight with the dog thief surnamed Pan to win or lose." If it's too dangerous, don't go back yet. ”

Gao Yue said, Bailing Village, no matter what, I have to go back. One of the elders of the family really wants to visit; The second is the Longtan Tiger's Den, I am not afraid, what does it matter if I go. Gao Yue's arrogance rose sharply, but he wanted to see what tricks Pan Wudu could play.

Han Yong's face was serious, and he said bluntly: "The safety of the lord alone is involved, and so many people are involved in me. Timid and cowering, people do not take it. But impetuous and impulsive are more likely to invite disaster. In short, don't take it lightly, I wait for everyone, and I hope that the lord will help you all the way in the future. ”

He Cheng took out a dagger from his boots, handed it to Gao Yue and said: "This is a thing that I carry with me everywhere, last time I was on Dongchunlou Street, without it, I am afraid that I will suffer a big loss." Since the lord is going to take a trip, he will bring it first, not afraid of 10,000, he is afraid of what happens, and sometimes he attacks the enemy by surprise, and the effect is very good. ”

Gao Yue took the dagger and inserted it into his boot. Feeling everyone's concern and worry, he couldn't help but be moved in his heart, and said with a smile: "Everyone's friendship, Gao keeps it in mind. No matter what happens on this trip, Gao will definitely be able to return safely. In the future, I will join hands with all my brothers to break into the world together. ”

He said solemnly: "When I am not in the city, all the upper and lower soldiers, all the big and small affairs, are subject to Han Sima's temperance and dispatch. If there is a person who violates the order, Han Sima will deal with it himself; If there is a sudden emergency, Han Sima can also make his own decision, and send someone to Bailing Village to report to me quickly. ”

"In addition, everyone and others must also strengthen their vigilance and not act alone, in case Pan Wu is taking advantage of my distance and coming to plot against you, it is not known. In short, everyone remembers the word vigilant, do you know? ”

Han Yong and below stood up one after another. Gao Yue's strong self-confidence and calm momentum can always infect others unconsciously, making people slowly put their hearts down, feeling that following Gao Yue, there is nothing that cannot be done, and it cannot be done.

Early in the morning of the second day, Gao Yue and the three of them went out of the city gate. Previously, everyone under his command was sent outside the barracks, but they were stopped by Han Yong and no longer stayed away from the barracks, just in case.

Han Yong looked at Gao Yue's distant figure, his heart full of worry. However, he did not want to show bad emotions and interfere with the morale of the army in front of a group of subordinates, so he pretended to be relaxed and assigned everyone to return to their posts. When he was the only one left, he still couldn't help it and sighed softly.
