Along the way, the brothers rushed to the barracks with a few words and laughs, and Gao Huan instantly felt that the sky was high and wide with a silver ticket of 1,000 taels on his body, and he swept away the previous decadence. As the saying goes: money is the guts of man. That's right.

Gao Huan said in his heart that if he handed over the errand, he would be able to gain a foothold in the righteous army, and the rest would be easier to do.

In the big tent, Yu Wentai looked at Gao Huan expressionlessly, there was a thousand taels of silver tickets on the desk, this handsome little brother who was a few years older than him was very interested: what did he want to do?

The military advisor on the side said with a surprised face: "I'm obedient, who did you rob last night?" This amount of money is enough to buy a lot of food, weapons and equipment. ”

Gao Huan naturally wouldn't say that he took someone to rob the relatives of the military commissar, so he made up a random excuse to fool the past, and it is not worth making a fuss about anything in the world in the past few years.

"The king has ordered that he will gather men and horses to attack Cangzhou in the near future, and I have to say that General Gao is very lucky, and he can make contributions as soon as he joins the gang." Yuwentai leisurely spit out this bombshell news.

"I said earlier that joining the rebel army is only for the common people of the world, not for one's own selfish interests...... Gao Huan once again reiterated his position, which has always been clear. Yu Wentai interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "General Gao doesn't seem to be interested in the appointment of the king? As he spoke, he fiddled with the letter of appointment on the desk. The tone was very flat.

Gao Huan's eyes lit up with joy, and then he regained his calm and said, "I will agree with any orders of the king and resolutely carry them out." As for the level of the position, I don't care much about the subordinates, and the promotion is based on meritorious service. ”

"Hehe, okay, in that case, I won't read this letter of appointment for you, you can take it back and read it yourself. There is one more thing, after going back, reorganize the army and horses and prepare to attack Cangzhou. ”

"The last general obeys!" Gao Huan quickly withdrew the letter of appointment from Yuwentai's hand, and said in his heart: "What is the little kid pretending to be in front of me?!" ”

Gao Huan was already a little famous before, and he also overfulfilled the task of joining the gang this time, so Yuwentai was very satisfied with him, and privately promoted him to the position of captain of the tuncai, because Ge Rong usually trusted Yuwentai very much, and he never asked about his own internal personnel changes.

From an infantry captain to a cavalry captain, although Junjie is basically the same, the nature is completely different, which is immediately concluded from Gao Huan after seeing his troops.

The three or two cavalry shuttling back and forth in the barracks can be seen everywhere, the stables are full of horses, and the sides are full of grain and grass, Li Erhu followed Gao Huan to patrol the camp, and kept reprimanding the two brothers behind him: "I said a long time ago that our boss is a big official, you serve our eldest brother well, and the wealth will be in the hands of the boss in the future, understand?" Guan Yiguan and Guan Er, the two brothers nodded happily. Now these people have mixed up with Gao Huan, from temporary workers to regular workers, and they are also cavalrymen with a lot of salary, so they are naturally happy.

"Li Erhu, don't engage in bureaucracy with me, I said that we are all from poor people, and everyone should be like a family, regardless of superiors and subordinates, what big brother and big brother." Gao Huan said that he was happy in his heart, he still enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded and praised. It is no wonder that people who are not saints and sages inevitably have some greedy desires in their hearts.

Here the author gives a brief explanation of Ge Rong's beginnings, because the later story will lead to greater foreshadowing because of him.

This Ge Rong was originally a poor Huaishuo town soldier, when the Xian Yu Xiuli of the Ding Ling clan rebelled in Dingzhou Zuoren City, Ge Rong went to him, and later Xian Yu Xiuli was beheaded by the main subordinate Yuan Hongye, Ge Rong took the opportunity to destroy Yuan Hongye to avenge Xian Yu Xiuli, and commanded his subordinates to eat in Youzhou Hebei for a generation.

Now several big cities in the north have been squeezed and eaten up by Ge Rong's hundreds of thousands of homeless rebels, and Ge Rong has to find a way to attack the few lonely cities controlled by the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The front was already full of murderous sounds, Gao Huan rode on a horse, looking at Cangzhou Cheng, who was surrounded by water, and saw him wearing a steel helmet on his head, wearing iron armor, holding a spear, and carrying an ancestral Pu knife in his waist. Heroic, a handsome general!

"Nima, such heavy armor, it is difficult to walk, let alone fighting, how can cavalry be heavier than infantry equipment." Gao Huan has a lot of opinions about this army costume designer. How did he know that since the Han Dynasty, the infantry has been cannon fodder, the equipment is very bad, and only the cavalry is the main force of the troops, especially in the northern plains, the combat power of the cavalry is quite terrifying.

"Report to the General." A herald flew in front of Gao Huan's mount and saluted: "General Yuwen ordered that the soldiers in front are about to knock on the city gate, please General Gao lead his troops to enter the city at any time." ”

"Got it, you go down!" Gao Huan turned around and said loudly to Li Erhu and the others behind him: "Ladies and gentlemen, today is a good time for us to make meritorious contributions and seize wealth. After passing my order to enter the city, as long as the officers and soldiers who dare to resist, all the officers and soldiers will be killed, but they must not harass the people in the city, so that there is no crime in the autumn, and I will be a great Qi army! ”

"The last general obeys!" Li Erhu took the lead in replying.

The vanguard troops had all entered Cangzhou City, and Gao Huan rode into the city slowly on horseback under the escort of Li Erhu and others.

I saw the ruins and broken walls in the city, the flames were everywhere, the corpses were all over the field, and individual officers and soldiers who had not had time to escape could be seen everywhere surrounded by more than a dozen righteous soldiers, stabbed to death with spears, hacked to death with knives, and wailed everywhere.

Gao Huan saw the fierceness of the street battle for the first time, and his face was not completely white, but he also had to pretend to be indifferent, if you instigated these rebels, they would oppress you, not to mention that as a general, you must not make a humiliating move.

Along the main road, Gao Huan and his party were speeding towards the Taishou Mansion in the city, and suddenly there was a miserable cry of women from the famous house on the side, Gao Huan and others stopped at the horse, only to see a few rebels carrying food from inside, and were robbing property, so it was not lively.

Gao Huan frowned and was about to stop, only to hear Li Erhu scolding loudly: "Damn, stop me!" "I'll go, you're the boss, I'm the boss, huh?

Several rebel soldiers stopped their hands and looked at these big men who didn't know where they came from and rode horses, only to see one of them, who seemed to be the leader, came out and replied: "I don't know if the adults have arrived, we are cleaning up the bandits in the city......"

"Have you cleaned up the bandits to the people's homes?" Gao Huan interrupted the man very dissatisfied, and said, "Who ordered you to do this?" ”

"According to the military order of Lord Yuwen, as long as you enter the city, the property in the city will be robbed by whoever robs it!" The man was still smug.

The elderly, women and children in the house watched this scene, and they all knelt down for Gao Huan, and said, "The adults are the masters of the small people." We are all ordinary people, not bandits. ”

Gao Huan scolded angrily in his mouth: My day! With a wave of his hand, he hit the man with a whip, and the man didn't have time to react to parry, and ate the whip raw, and fell to the ground with a bang, covering his face with his hands and crying: "Why do you beat people while talking?" Now who is not robbing homes and houses in the rebel army in the city, and prefers you to be this good person? A few of the foot soldiers put down what they were holding, but they didn't dare to move, and stood stupidly to the side and watched.

"Put the stuff back!" Seeing Gao Huan riding on the horse viciously, several rebels picked up their things and put them back in the house. At this moment, suddenly a girl's cry for help came from behind her.

I saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl being chased out of the house by two rebels, and the two rebels were full of swear words: "Sister, don't run, accompany our brother to the house to play, hahaha." ”

Gao Huan couldn't help frowning and twisting together, what kind of rebel army is this, it is no different from robbers and bandits.

The girl faltered on the slope and shouted for help to Gao, her clothes and pants were torn by the pull, and a few important parts of her body were fine, but it was a very bad reverie that loomed.

Li Erhu waited for people to go up and surrounded the two daring rebels.

The two were stunned when they saw this, and asked, "What do you want to do?" Know who our subordinates are? ”

Gao Huan immediately stepped forward to support the girl, and passed out in Gao Huan's arms as soon as he touched the girl. Gao Huan picked up the girl and turned to Guan Yi and said, "Find a clean room to settle her, and by the way, bring our doctor with the army to show her if there is any big problem." After saying this, Gao Huan walked over with two arrogant rebels, and there was an ancestral Pu knife in his hand.

The blood on the ground flowed slowly along the ditch next to the street, Gao Huan took a piece of cloth and wiped the blood on the knife unhurriedly, now he no longer has any lingering palpitations about killing, and he is familiar with the knife down, so that the killed person does not feel the pain. Gao Huan was already fearless in his heart at this time, and it was not a great sin for him to kill a slut.

The people on the side were all frightened by Gao Huan's calmness and didn't dare to move, these two were people from General Yuwen's personal guard.

"Report to the general, General Yuwen wants you to quickly take people to the south gate of the city to gather, there must be no mistake." A herald galloped over on horseback.

Everyone couldn't help but sweat for Gao Huan, so soon the news reached Yuwentai?

"Got it, you go down." Gao Huan very indifferently inserted the Pu knife back into the scabbard, turned around and got on the horse and said loudly: "Li Erhu, gather all the people and horses, and gather at the south gate of the city." Then Da rode his horse and trotted towards the south gate of the city, followed by Guan Er and Li Tiezhu.

"I wonder what the general means by this?" Gao Huan looked at the officers and soldiers sitting on the ground with their hands tied behind their backs in front of him, and turned his face to look at Yu Wentai suspiciously.

"According to the order of the king's army, as long as the people in this Cangzhou city are over the age of twelve, the men and women who are not chaotic will be beheaded, and no one will be left." Yuwentai looked very cold when he said this sentence again, and Tu Cheng was said to be as normal as eating and sleeping.

"Why is this, to say that their resistance is only for their own masters, we enter the city and kill them, even the old and weak, women and children, how can we attack other cities in the future? They must not resist to the death? Gao Huan couldn't help but have another opinion about Ge Rong's troops: this was a savage and cruel slaughtering machine.

"This is the king's order, he has his own reasons, since you and I, as generals of the Qi country, can only follow the instructions, and the rest is not something we can control."

Gao Huan's last life's least favorite thing to hear is that his colleagues say this, he takes the leader's orders at every turn, the leader's orders must be implemented, but it also depends on whether it is reasonable, if it is an order that endangers the interests of the group, even if it is correct in front of him, it cannot be operated and implemented, and the so-called killing chickens and eggs is not advisable.

"The king knows that the consequence of this is to chill the hearts of the people of the world, since ancient times, if you want to achieve great things, you can do it without the support of the people, and if you continue like this, our Qi country will soon be isolated, and everyone will be punished and spurned by the people of the world." Gao Huan was already full of disappointment in Ge Rong and Yu Wentai at the moment, one was a mediocre and brutal separatist warlord, selfish. One is a cold-blooded killer who obeys his fate, and he is confused. The world is undecided, so indiscriminately killing innocents, can the Qi country have a future?

"The king knows, that's why we asked you to carry out this order!" After that, Yuwentai turned his head and looked at Gao Huan with a smile, and his expression seemed to say: This matter has nothing to do with me.
