Chapter 218: Tens of Thousands of Troops
The northern suburbs of Wuzhong, Xiang Tuo Courtyard.
Gao Chu's five hundred elite horsemen have been stationed in Xiang Tuo's Courtyard for more than ten days, after the rescue of Doctor Ji's skillful hands, coupled with more than ten days of general care, Qin Yu's injury has also improved greatly, seeing Qin Yu's injury improving day by day, Gao Chu's heart hanging in his throat finally fell back into his stomach.
At noon that day, Qin Yu had just woken up from a nap, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Gao Chu.
"Fisherwoman, are you awake? You must be hungry, so let's drink some porridge. Gao Chu said, then picked up a small bowl of porridge from the low table at the head of the bed, scooped up a small spoonful of porridge with a wooden spoon, first sent it to his mouth to blow cold, and then handed it to Qin Yu's mouth, Qin Yu smiled sweetly at Gao Chu, opened his small mouth and drank the porridge.
After drinking the porridge, Qin Yu said softly: "Husband, you have been tired these days, right?" Quite a few words"
"Not tired, not tired." Gao Chu said repeatedly, "As long as you can get better, let me do anything." ”
Qin Yu's heart was moved, and crystal clear tears appeared in his eyes, Gao Chu quickly took out a silk handkerchief and carefully wiped the tears from the corners of Qin Yu's eyes, and said: "The fisherman is good, the fisherman doesn't cry......"
The two were entangled, and Pojun suddenly strode in, and said in a big way: "General, there are people outside who want to see you." ”
"Anyone?" Gao Chu frowned, and said a little unhappily, "What person?" The general human general is gone. ”
"I don't know who is coming." Po Jun shook his head and said, "However, he brought the general's edict."
"The General's Order?" Gao Chu hurriedly got up, put down the porridge bowl and slapped the back of the head of Pojun, and said, "You little rabbit cub, why don't you hurry up and invite people in?" ”
"Wow" Pojun muttered and took the order.
Gao Chu turned back and looked at Qin Yu with apologetic eyes, Qin Yu smiled slightly, and said understandingly: "Husband, you are the general's confidant and favorite general, since the person who came brought the general's edict, it must be the general's urgent order to you, you should be busy with your big business, I'm fine here." ”
Gao Chu nodded, and then turned around.
When Gao Chu came to the living room of the other courtyard, Xiang was already waiting there.
Gao Chu was a member of Xiang Yu's army, so he naturally recognized Xiang He, and when he saw Xiang He, Gao Chu was stunned at first, so he immediately stepped forward to pay homage and said: "Gao Chu...... See Ling Yin. ”
"Don't dare, General Gao, hurry up and excuse me." Xiang hurriedly returned the salute.
The difference in status between the two was huge back then, but now there is little difference.
After the cold noise, Xiang He directly took out Xiang Zhuang's handwritten message and explained his intention.
As soon as he heard that he was going to attack Xiang Guan, Gao Chu's eyes suddenly showed a fierce light, and he said fiercely: "His grandmother's, Lao Tzu has been waiting for this day for a long time, is he finally going to do it?" ”。
Xiang He said worriedly: "General Gao, although the 40,000 clan children under Xiang Guan's command are a rabble, but his 3,000 personal soldiers are also veterans, and they followed him all the way from Wuzhong to defeat Qiantang, and then fought back to Wuzhong from Qiantang, it can be said that he has experienced a hundred battles, general, you only have 500 elite cavalry now, are you sure?" ”。
"Five hundred fine riders?" Gao Chu snorted and said, "Ling Yin, I'm afraid you don't know that the general has already buried tens of thousands of troops in Wuzhong and the surrounding counties."
"Tens of thousands of troops?" Xiang He changed slightly, "Where did it come from?" ”
Gao Chu said: "Did Yin Mo forget the more than 1,000 veterans who crossed the river earlier? ”
"Aren't these veterans retired and returned to their hometowns?" Xiang He was stunned at first, then immediately gasped again, and said in horror, "The general is saying that the more than 1,000 veterans who crossed the river earlier did not retire, and their return to their hometowns is just an illusion, in fact, it is to secretly recruit more strong men?" ”
Gao Chu smiled slightly, and said: "In short, Ling Yin only needs to transfer Xiang Guan out of Wuzhong County, and as for the hands-on matter, it will be handed over to the last general." ”
Xiang nodded and asked, "General Gao Chu, how long will it take you to gather the army?" ”
Gao Chu groaned slightly, and replied: "Most of the more than 1,000 veterans are in Wuzhong, and five days should be enough."
"Okay." Xiang He slammed the knot and said, "Then it will be set in seven days, and after seven days, I will invite Xiang Guan to go out of Wuzhong to hunt in Gaoshan, and then the general can lead the army to attack him."
"Okay." Gao Chu said, "Then it's decided." ”
"Say goodbye below." The plan was decided, and he immediately left.
After sending him away, Gao Chu ordered the broken army: "Break the army, immediately send flying horses, notify the veterans of all counties and townships, immediately gather their own soldiers, and come here to assemble within five days"..., "Broken army" suddenly agreed, turned around and left.

Early in the morning, there were many ox carts on the red dirt road outside Sanglin Village in the eastern suburbs of Wudong, and there were even several horse-drawn carts mixed in the middle of the endless stream of ox carts, and these ox carts and carriages were all heading towards Sanglin Village without exception, because today was a good day for the dog to move to a new house, and these people were going to congratulate them.
The head of Sanglin Village was originally a wasteland, but now a large mansion has been erected.
The whole courtyard is covered with red and green, the lights are colorful, the figures inside are building, boiling and yingtian, and the dog leftover in a good suit is standing under the steps outside the gate to welcome guests, however, now the dog leftover has changed its name to Ge Sheng, anyway, the dog leftover is now a nobleman with a title, and you are a military horse, and then call the dog leftover is indeed a bit of that.
Behind Ge Sheng stood four strong men with broad shoulders and round waists, one of which was Qingpi.
Looking at the endless flow of ox carts and horse-drawn carts on the dirt road at the entrance of the village, Qingpi's eyes widened, and he said loudly: "Obediently, more than 20 big families from Jiuli Village, Shanglin Village, Huangni Village and Hewan Village have all come, Lizheng and Pavilion Chief?" Hey, there are also Wang Gongcao and Zhao Peng, no, that's the carriage of the county order? ”
Ge Sheng smiled silently, but his face showed a smug look.
When he left home, he was just a nobody, but now, he Ge Sheng is a serious figure in Wuzhong County, whether it is the title of the five doctors rewarded by the general, or the Sima military position held in the army, compared to the Wuzhong County Order, it is only a good day for him Ge Sheng to move to a new house, and it is reasonable for Xiang County Commander to come to congratulate.
After a while, Xiang County Order, Wang Gongcao, Zhao Peng, and those big families who came to congratulate him in ox carts came to Ge Ji's new residence one after another, and the servants of Ge Mansion had already stepped forward to lead the carriage and ox cart into the side courtyard, and Ge Sheng personally led Xiang County Order and his party into the upper room of the main courtyard, and only four people were left outside the gate.
A thin young man clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "One day, I will also become a master like Brother Ge Sheng."
A young man next to him immediately poured cold water on his head and said, "Just you? Come on, Brother Ge Sheng killed hundreds of soldiers on the battlefield to earn the current title of the Fifth Doctor, just your small body, and three-legged cat kung fu, do you want to be on a par with Brother Ge Sheng? If you want me to say, you kid will earn a title at most. ”
"You kid knows a piece of." The thin young man said angrily, "Lao Tzu is thin now, but when he comes to the army, he eats and eats dry, and Lao Tzu will soon become stronger, as for martial arts, when Brother Ge Sheng left home, he was inferior to me, but now he has learned all the skills?" Brother Ge Sheng said that in the army, as long as you are willing to endure hardships, you can learn real skills."
Another young man said: "Brother Thin Monkey is right, my second brother is also in the army, but he is following General Xiang Tuo, my second brother said, in the army, martial arts teaching is the true teaching, if you don't learn from them, you have to whip you, unlike the martial arts in the county, he still has to keep a hand after you pay the money, and what do you say about the apprentice starving to death of the master." ”
Qingpi finally said: "Anyway, now we are all Brother Ge Sheng's personal soldiers, and when the general's summoning order is issued in the future, we will have to follow Brother Ge Sheng to the battlefield, and when the time comes, we will be able to earn war merits on the battlefield with our true skills. ”
While talking, the old housekeeper of Gefu came out to greet the four of them: "Qingpi, Tie Niu, the head of the house said, the guests have arrived, don't pestle outside the door, hurry up and come in to eat the bar." ”
"Okay, come on." Qingpi and Tie Niu agreed, and entered the gate with a fart, turned around and turned into the gatehouses on both sides of the gate, although they were Ge Sheng's personal soldiers, in terms of identity alone, they were stronger than the other hundreds of young people who were about to follow Ge Sheng to join the army, but they were still not qualified to enter the upper room and sit with Ge Sheng.
A banquet was eaten until the end of the day, Ge Sheng sent away the guests who came to congratulate, and was about to go back to the backyard to ask the old mother for peace, when the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from the dirt road at the head of the village, and when he looked up urgently, he saw that the dirt road was dusty, and a fast horse galloped like the wind, and Ge Sheng suddenly felt a chill when he saw this.
Sure enough, the fast horse entered the village and went straight to Ge Sheng's newly completed mansion.
Before he could get closer, Ge Sheng had already recognized that the person was Tie Dan, a personal soldier beside General Gao Chu, and immediately greeted the steps and said, "Brother Tie Dan, why are you here?" ”
Tie Dan smiled and said, "Brother Gou, the little brother is not here to congratulate you, this is the general's secret order." ”
As he spoke, Tie Dan took out a wooden slip from his arms and handed it to Ge Sheng, Ge Sheng stretched out his hand to take it, and his face sank when he saw it roughly, so he immediately put away the wooden slip and said: "Brother, you will report to the general, within five days, the last general will definitely take all the soldiers who have been gathered and rush to the north of the city to meet the general." ”
"Farewell" Tie Dan shook it, turned over and walked away.
Seeing the figure of the iron egg disappear on the dirt road at the head of the village, Ge Shengcai turned around and shouted: "Green skin, iron bull, big head, thin monkey, you come here"
As soon as the words fell, the four of them had already come out of the gatehouse and rushed to Ge Sheng.
Ge Sheng waved his hand and said loudly: "Go, immediately go to all townships, pavilions, and villages to gather strong men, and three days later, Lao Tzu will take you to hunt in the mountains, and first give you little rabbits to train their courage." ”……,
