In the next few days, the barracks of the army on Quang Nam Road were simply chaotic!

First of all, batch after batch of craftsmen and tailors were coaxed and deceived by Pang Feihu and even coerced into the garrison camp.

Of course, these artisan tailors all came from Tongzhou, a state capital hundreds of miles to the north.

Tongzhou does not belong to Guangnan Road or Lingnan Road, and it is hundreds of miles apart, so it has escaped the poison of the White Lotus Sect.

Cheng Erniu, Kang Bao, Ruan Laosan and others led a large army into the mountains to hunt, and they did not big pheasants and hares, but specialized in fighting large beasts, such as tigers, mountain wolves, wild bears and other large beasts.

Living up to expectations, hundreds of beast carcasses were dragged back to the camp by the soldiers every day for Guo Ye to inspect.

In a few days, the footprints of the mighty army were all over the nearby deep mountains and old forests, and the fierce beasts in the mountains and forests were almost wiped out, almost extinct.

The beasts were ordered to be skinned, and the skins were strictly peeled off intact and not damaged. Then he ordered that the tens of thousands of animal skins be dried and handed over to the craftsmen and tailors in the camp.

The meat of the beast is naturally a reward for the three armies and an improvement in the hungry life in the military camp.

As for the use of the animal skins brought by the craftsmen and tailors, Guo Ye didn't say anything, and Cheng Erniu and the others naturally had no way of knowing.

Anyway, in the next few days, in the military camp on Guangnan Road, in addition to hunting, it was to skin animals and eat animal meat, which was so comfortable.

So much so that after seven or eight days, everyone left behind the capture of Qianzhou City.

"What are the officials and soldiers of the imperial court doing?"

At the north gate of Qianzhou City, the prince surnamed Zhao, who was dressed in brocade clothes, looked at the Tang military camp in the distance outside the city with an incredible expression, and muttered.

Immediately afterwards, he looked at Meng Gang, the leader of the south gate of the bandit army, and asked, "Meng Gang, are you sure that these days, they have not done anything else except going into the mountains to hunt?" ”

Meng Gang said respectfully: "Back to Zhao Gongzi, his subordinates are blind at all. I once asked my brothers to pass by by the Tang army camp by chance in disguise as a local hunter, and found that their camp was full of the carcasses of wild beasts, and the hides of wild beasts were hanging everywhere. It doesn't look like he's coming to attack the city at all, but he's here to hunt and have fun. By the way, I heard that the Tang Army is eating and drinking spicy food every day these days, could it be that they just want to kill all the fierce beasts in the nearby mountains and old forests, and want to kill our meat? Hahaha......"

Speaking of this, Meng Gang couldn't help but feel ridiculous for his explanation.

But Zhao Gongzi didn't laugh, and continued to muttered to himself suspiciously: "Go into the mountains to fight fierce beasts? Do you want to peel off the hides and dry them? It's strange, what do they want this hide? And it's the skin of a large beast? ”

"Make a leather jacket?"

Meng Gang guessed: "There are so many animal skins, there are tens of thousands, and the damn beasts in the mountains near us have almost disappeared." In addition to being used as a fur jacket, what else can this animal skin be used for? It doesn't look good, does it? ”

"Impossible!"

Zhao Gongzi couldn't help but shake his head, and then gently shook the folding fan in his hand three times to deny, and then reminded Meng Gang: "It's June now, and it's not the third or ninth day of the cold winter, where do you need a leather jacket to keep out the cold?" Your argument doesn't make sense, it's completely unreliable. ”

Meng Gang also knew that his reason was not tenable at all, now in the south of June, wearing an undershirt is so hot that it is fatal, where can I wear any leather jacket, isn't this sick?

So, he spread his hands and said: "That subordinate really can't guess, maybe, it's really the Tang army that is afraid of the bed crossbow at the head of our north gate, and they don't dare to storm Qianzhou City for a while, but they are worried that if they continue to be abandoned in the long run, they may shake the morale of the army, so they let their soldiers go hunting in the mountains, not only as exercise, but also as a way to enrich food and grass so that they will not sit and eat empty mountains." Moreover, improving the food in the barracks and eating meat at a meal will not make the soldiers lazy and idle. ”

"Well, you're the only one who makes sense right now!"

Zhao Gongzi turned around, his eyes were full of complexity, and he continued to look at the military camp in the distance outside the city, and quipped: "Isn't there a saying among the people? The farmer is busy and dry, and the farmer is idle and thin, and he is not busy and idle. It seems that this general manager of the march on Guangnan Road is also born with mud legs, and he has suffered from hunger and is afraid of hunger, this is a model of diligence and thrift! Hahaha......"

"Wow? Hahaha......"

Meng Gang also laughed loudly, looked at the Tang army camp with a sneering look on his face, and nodded again and again in agreement: "Yes, yes, what Zhao Gongzi said is very true, this time the court sent him is definitely a mud-legged soldier from a bitter background!" ”

"Okay, since we can't guess it, let's not bother to guess."

Zhao Gongzi stopped laughing for a while, and asked Meng Gang with a serious face: "To get back to the point, did I ask you to send someone to leave from the West Gate and cross the river into Lingnan Mansion to send the letter to Sect Master Hu of your sect?" ”

"Childe, don't worry," Meng Gang said, "I have sent someone to send a letter to the situation on our side of Qianzhou City." Moreover, his subordinates were worried that this time it was only the vanguard of the Tang Army, and there were large troops behind, so they specially sent news to several other Dharma Protector armies in the south. The subordinates told them in the letter that once the Qianzhou City side was besieged by the Tang army, they must ask for reinforcements to relieve the siege. ”

"Good! Meng Gang, you are very thoughtful! ”

Zhao Gongzi glanced at Meng Gang approvingly, nodded and said, "Right now, there are 20,000 soldiers and horses in the Tang Military Region, don't even want to attack my Qianzhou City." Not only the north gate, but even the west gate arranged fifty bed crossbows to prevent the Tang army from crossing the river to attack. As for the East Gate, hehe, there is a line of heaven as a barrier, unless they have wings, otherwise they want to jump half a step over the East Gate. ”

"What Childe said is extremely true!"

Meng Gang said with a smile: "Unless they have wings or divine generals, otherwise, don't think about the idea of hitting the East Gate." ”

Zhao Gongzi snorted, rubbed the position of his eyebrows with his hand, the corners of his eyes were slightly sour and slightly tired, and said, "Meng Gang, this son will go back and rest first." The north gate will be handed over to you to sit in, remember, you can't relax your vigilance at all, and you must be on guard against the surprise attack of the Tang army anytime and anywhere. ”

"Don't worry, Childe!"

Meng Gang escorted Zhao Gongzi to the corner of the steps of the city tower, and while watching him go downstairs, he said: "The subordinates will definitely be ten thousand careful, and dare not be negligent. ”

"That's good......"

Zhao Gongzi's voice came from afar, and the person had disappeared from Meng Gang's sight.

Meng Gang turned around, looked at the few little leaders who were talking happily with each other with a solemn face, and suddenly shouted: "What are you doing there?" Cheer up Lao Tzu and keep an eye on it, if there is a mistake at the north gate, then Lao Tzu will first take the heads of a few of you to sacrifice the flag. ”

"Ah......h

Several leaders panicked when they heard this, and they immediately dispersed like birds and beasts.

……

……

The camp is on a high slope, and the tent is handsome.

Cheng Erniu and Kang Bao were surrounding Guo Ye, chattering about Guo Ye.

"I said, uncle, what the hell are you trying to do?"

"Yes, brother-in-law, if this hunt continues, I'm afraid that the beasts within a radius of hundreds of miles will be extinct. The point is that we are here to attack the city, and it shouldn't be the current juncture to hunt. ”

"Little brother, there are too many beasts that have been beaten down during this time, and the meat has eaten and vomited the brothers. You can't fight anymore. ”

"Lord Guo, the craftsmen and tailors you want have also been collected, and the animal skins you want have dried a lot, but what does this have to do with the attack on Qianzhou City? Forgive Cao for being stupid, I really can't figure out that these have something to do with my black-armored Xuanbing. ”

"Haha, don't worry about Cao Zhonglang!"

Guo Ye smiled and reassured: "Wait for the craftsmen and tailors to finish their work, and you will know if it has anything to do with you." ”

"Report!"

Xue Rengui opened the curtain of the tent and stepped inside, and praised Guo Ye with a puzzled face: "Report to the chief manager, there is an old craftsman who wants to see you outside the tent, and he has taken a man as big as this... It's so big..."

Xue Rengui drew circles with his hands for a long time, and was stunned to say anything.

Guo Ye knew the meaning of the strings when he heard the sound of the strings, and immediately jumped up in surprise, and said happily: "They have made a finished product?" Then what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and let the old master in. ”

"Oh!"

Xue Rengui turned back and went out of the tent, and then went and returned, followed by an old craftsman.

And the old craftsman is carrying a strange and ugly thing on his back, and the key is that this thing is really big......

"I'm grass!"

"Oh my God!"

"My boy!"

……

Everyone in the tent was stunned to see the strange things that the old craftsman was carrying on his back, and they all let out a cry of surprise.

Cheng Erniu hurriedly ran to the old craftsman's side, then circled around him, and finally turned his head and stared at Guo Ye with his mouth open, and his jaw almost dropped.

"Uncle, this ugly thing, why does it look like a kite? Oh my God, ugly and big kite, what kind of play are you playing? ”

"Isn't it?"

"How is that possible? Tens of thousands of people running around the mountains to hunt just to make kites? ”

At this time, Pang Feihu, Kang Bao, Cao Luxun and others surrounded the old craftsman one after another, pointing to the giant kite on his back to express their dissatisfaction.
