Chapter 117: And Gull's Intentions
"Where did you get this news?" Gongjing asked with a solemn face, his voice unprecedentedly solemn.
"This is what the villain learned by inadvertently overhearing the conversation between Xia Huroar, the captain of the Nine Kui Department, and the captain Yu Yu! It must be true! The envoy of the Ou tribe, who had just returned from the Nine Kui Tribe, said with an oath.
Gongliehu couldn't help but be happy: "Dad! What a great opportunity! The Nine Kui Department was hit hard, and half of the Servant Sentence Department was also pinned down in the Nine Kui Department! This is the time for me and Gumbe to make a profit! ”
Gongjing is much more sophisticated than his son Gongliehu, although Yang Zilu is quite annoyed with Gongjing, but he also has to admire his prudence and cunning. Gongjing said cautiously: "Don't look at this matter so simply, maybe Yang Zilu's guy dug a hole, so that when we jump down, he will fill in the soil." ”
Gongliehu said solemnly: "Dad! I don't think this news will be fake, the news of the mobilization of troops and horses to attack the Jiukui Department has just come from the Servant Sentence Department, and the time is about the same. Besides, if according to what my father said, Yang Zilu dug a pit and waited for us to jump down, or Yang Zilu had unpredictable wisdom and expected all this. Either that, or secretly contact with the servant department. ”
Gongliehu said this, paused, picked up the teacup in his hand, poured a mouthful of water into his mouth, moistened his throat, and then continued: "As for the former, let's not mention that Yang Zilu doesn't have such wisdom, even if he has, do you think he will hide in our poor mountains and bad waters?" If it were me, I would have gone to the vassal states of the Central Plains a long time ago! And Dad, do you really think Yang Zilu has this wisdom? ”
Gongliehu said this, seeing that his father Gongjing was not annoyed and angry, and then continued: "As for secretly contacting the servant department, this is even more impossible, during this time, we have secretly fixed Yang Zilu's henchmen Xia Hu Roar, Yu Yu, Black Bear, and Kan Pingtian. None of them have any signs of contacting the Servant Sentence Department, and Yang Zilu sent others to contact the Servant Sentence Department, I am afraid that they will not be able to win the trust of the Servant Sentence Department, even if they can really win the trust of the Servant Sentence Department, Yang Zilu is not afraid that the people sent out will be incompetent and let the Servant Department get into trouble? And the more than 100 slaves of the Servant Department captured by the Nine Kui Department did not escape a single person, otherwise the Servant Department and Yang Zilu would have a connection, how could Yang Zilu release a few slaves who had a good position in the Servant Department, so that the people of the Servant Department would know his sincerity. But now there is no one missing, and it is obvious that the Jiukui Department has no connection with the Servant Sentence Department! Dad, you can't be indecisive in this matter! ”
Speaking of this, Gongliehu stopped talking and looked at his father Gongjing fixedly. Meaning: Dad, you're just suspicious! Where did so many intrigues come from. Of course, Gongliehu didn't dare to say this, and he couldn't say it.
Hearing this, Gongjing was silent for a long time, his slightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, nodded and said, "It's a little that I'm too careful, Ah Hu, you go down to prepare for the expedition!" Two days later, mobilize the clansmen and nearby tribes and set out for the servants! This time, I must let the people of the servant department know that I am a warrior of the gullbe! Teach them to repay the great feud of twelve years ago! ”
"Yes! Rest assured, the child will get things done! Hearing this, Gongliehu showed a hideous smile and said viciously. Twelve years ago, the former chief of the Gull Department, the grandfather of the Gonglie Tiger burst out and died in that year, and that arrow sore was a month ago and the Gull Department and the Servant Department clashed, and the Servant Sentence Department was left by the grandfather of the Gonglie Tiger, and it was also a great shame for the Gull Department.
"I hope this decision is the right one!" Gongjing frowned, I don't know why after making this decision, my heart was clouded with a haze, and I always had a bad premonition.
The old village of Haiyan Department
"I've seen the master!" Kan Pingtian calmly bowed his hand to the direction where Yang Zilu was.
Yang Zilu rode over, the short beard on her chin, the black hair exposed to the voyeur were covered with dust, and there were two big bags under her eyes. Yang Zilu asked strangely in his hoarse voice: "Old Kan, aren't you attacked by people from the servant department here?" Why aren't you nervous at all, and there are enemies? ”
"Still on the way!" When Kan Pingtian heard this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said in a deep voice.
"How is that possible?" Yang Zilu lost his voice.
Yang Zilu's surprise was not without reason, Jiukuibu was one hundred and forty miles away from the old village of Haiyanbu, and Yang Zilu had only arrived in two days after a rapid march and interspersed with small roads. (Note: During the Spring and Autumn Period, one mile was 385 meters, not 500 meters.) But the Servant Department is only about 100 miles away from the old village of Haiyan, and there are two places of river transportation. Even if you go against the current, there is no doubt that the speed can reach an hour or fourteen miles per hour. It is completely possible to depart in the morning and arrive at the old village of Haiyan in the afternoon.
For this reason, Yang Zilu also deliberately rested for an hour thirty miles away, and then continued on the road to avoid encounters on the way, and the soldiers and horses under his command were too tired to wield weapons.
"Old Kan, what's the matter with you?" Xia Hu, who was breathless, roared and asked, he is not like Yang Zilu, he really ran over with a pair of iron legs. Fortunately, the quality of the Shanyue people in this era is very high, especially the Jiukuibu, which is mainly hunting, and it is common to run thirty or forty miles in the mountains every day, and at least they are fully armed with a hunting bow, a short sword and a bag of arrows. There is no need for Yang Zilu to do any cross-country training at all.
Kan Pingtian couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, and said with a hint of triumph: "I knew that the servant department would send people to attack, so I asked people to build three river embankments upstream. After knowing that the servant department was attacking, let people put more than a dozen big trees with large bowls and sharpened ends on the first embankment, and at the same time break the river embankment, and immediately overturn the people who were hit by the servants and sentences downstream, and the first time to say less than 30 people were killed or injured! Rafts were lost seventeen or eighteen ships! ”
"Well done!" Yang Zilu leaned down slightly on the horseback, patted Kan Pingtian's shoulder fiercely, and praised.
When Kan Pingtian heard this, he did not get carried away, but put away the color on his face. nodded indifferently, and then said: "Thank you for the master's compliment, the servant still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, so he stopped, and it took two hours to rebuild ten rafts before continuing on the road." Because there were not enough rafts, each raft was very crowded, as if the bamboo basket was full of eggs, and it was shaky, as if one egg would break at any moment, and then another egg would break. ”
