Chapter 65: Tiger Mountain (2)
Although Zhao Gu has a good temper, it also depends on people, and anyone who has the intention of violating him, he will not repay his grievances with virtue. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Soon, the leading general was called over, and when Zhao Gu was thinking about how to deal with him for a while, a familiar face appeared in front of his eyes.
"General Liu? How are you? Zhao Gu asked.
But he said that this General Liu was the general who rushed into Mojian Mountain with a thousand recruits when Mojian Mountain suppressed bandits.
Zhao Gu remembered that his name was Liu Dezhu, he was very brave in battle, and he was also very atmospheric, not like this kind of person who was uncomfortable with his boss, so he asked this question.
Liu Dezhu smiled and scratched his head: "Zhao joins the army, don't misunderstand, there is a reason why I only came to see you now." ”
As he spoke, Liu Dezhu told his reason.
After hearing this, Zhao Gu couldn't help laughing.
It turned out that Liu Dezhu's parents were old and had children, and there was only such a lone seedling in the family, before him, there should have been an elder brother and two sisters, but they both died, so he was named Liu Dezhu (retained) as soon as he was born, which shows the importance of the family to him.
The mortality rate in this era was extremely high, especially when he was a soldier in a war, and the two old men cared about Liu Dezhu very much, so they naturally didn't want him to be a soldier, so they locked him in the house on the first day he went to Mojian Mountain to suppress bandits.
But Liu Dezhu is also a ruthless person, so he directly kicked the window of his home, ran away from the window, and followed the new army to suppress bandits.
The outcome of this matter can be predicted, when Liu Dezhu succeeded in suppressing the bandits, remembering the previous incident, where did he dare to go home.
But he missed his parents again, so he finally went home.
As a result, he was beaten by the old father and mother mixed men and women, and his buttocks were drawn with blood marks, and walking became a problem.
So when the recruits set off, Liu Dezhu was actually carried away, so naturally he didn't come to see Zhao Gu.
As for how he escaped the blockade of his father and mother this time and kept up with the army, Liu Dezhu didn't say, but Zhao Gu could guess it.
Thinking about it, he played another trick of escaping from prison, but he couldn't move it himself, so nine times out of ten, he asked his comrades for help.
Smiling, Zhao Gu said, "I know, it's okay, aren't you here now?" Here's the information about Tiger Mountain, what do you think about this crackdown on bandits? ”
Liu Dezhu is in his twenties, young and powerful, and he does things in a tigerish manner, and after receiving the information and reading it, he did not hide the worry in his heart, and his brows wrinkled together.
"Zhao joined the army, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed in suppressing bandits this time, unless the imperial court sends us another two thousand soldiers and horses."
"Do you want so many people?" Zhao Gu asked.
"You have to have so many people, the terrain of Tiger Mountain is steep, and the bandits occupy a favorable position, if they don't come out of the mountains, we can only enter the mountains, and if we want to annihilate them, we must have five times the number of troops, this is what I heard from General Cao, what times will attack it, and five will surround it, which is probably what it means." Liu Dezhu explained.
Zhao Gu nodded, although he had not systematically studied military law, he had heard this classic military phrase, and said: "In this way, we have to prepare with both hands." ”
"Join the army, please command." Liu Dezhu hugged his fists.
"First, you immediately send someone to ask the court for help, tell the people of the Privy Council the situation in Tiger Mountain as it is, and ask them to send troops."
"Second, I'm worried...... This time the imperial court may not really send troops, so we have to keep a backhand, after late tonight, General Liu, you will lead a hundred men and horses into the mountain, remember that you must hide your whereabouts, even the remaining nine hundred brothers, can not let them know where you have gone. Also, in the next ten days, no matter what happens, you are not allowed to reveal your whereabouts, after ten days, the situation may change, once all the people of Tiger Mountain are dispatched, and the rear is empty, you will take the opportunity to kill and burn down their nest. ”
Liu Dezhu responded: "I know about joining the army, so I'll go down and prepare now." ”
After Liu Dezhu finished speaking, he was about to go out, but Zhao Gu stopped him: "General Liu, this time you are lurking behind enemy lines alone, the situation is bound to be strange and changeable, once there is danger, I will allow you to retreat strategically." ”
Strategic retreat, to put it bluntly, is to escape, Liu Dezhu didn't expect Zhao Gu to give this order. Generally speaking, most of the orders given by generals to their subordinates are to fight to the death and not retreat, and what they are afraid of is that their subordinates will escape from the battle, but Zhao Gu actually allows others to escape, which is really different from ordinary people.
Zhao Gu laughed: "This is not a war after all, there are only so many enemies, there is no need for the brothers to die in vain, even if the military order cannot be completed by then, I, Zhao Gu, will carry it alone, it's a big deal to bring more people next time, and I will start all over again." ”
This ordinary sentence made Liu Dezhu's eyes red, and he felt that he was dying for his confidant, he hugged his fists at Zhao Gu again, and left directly.
Zhao Gu smiled bitterly, he didn't expect that he was just explaining the facts in a matter-of-fact manner, how could he make Liu Dezhu so moved?
He won't fight to the death because of this, right?
I had the heart to explain to him, but Zhao Gu was afraid that it would have the opposite effect, so he simply went with him, and it could be seen that Liu Dezhu was an excellent general, and he should judge the situation and make the right decision.
At this time, one of the soldiers guarding around Zhao Gu reported outside the tent: "Join the army, there are a few people outside who want to see you." ”
"Catch fast?" Zhao Gu thought for a moment and said, "Let them in." ”
After a while, a team of fast catchers entered the camp, and to Zhao Gu's surprise, the leader of this team of fast catchers turned out to be a woman.
The woman is about two years old, young and beautiful, with slightly dark skin, and a figure that looks quite powerful, which may be the reason for her frequent martial arts practice.
Even though her appearance is not worse than that of Su Xiaocheng or Lord Cheshire, she looks more heroic and sassy, and has a unique flavor.
When Zhao Gu was looking at her, she was also looking at Zhao Gu, perhaps she didn't expect Zhao Gu to be so young, and a trace of surprise flashed on the woman's face.
The next moment, the woman clenched her fists and said, "Your subordinate Shangguan Sisi has seen this general." ”
The rules of officialdom, when an official encounters an official of a higher rank than him, he must call himself a subordinate official, and Shangguan Sisi is obviously not an official, not even from the ninth grade, so he claims to be a subordinate.
In other words, in fact, as long as an official is in front of her, he has to claim to be a subordinate, but she may never have thought that Zhao Gu is just a temporary worker to participate, and her officialdom status is not even as good as her.
