Lingju, Wu Xi's official residence.

The night is thick, and Wufu is staggered, so lively,

Wu Xi had a large banquet and summoned military academies above the military commander to come to the banquet.

When the wine was drunk, more than a dozen military academies drank with red faces and thick necks, and they didn't even know what their parents' surnames were.

To say that these soldiers of the Northern Army used to be the most elite central officers and soldiers of the Han Empire, but since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, the life of the Northern Army has become more and more difficult day by day.

Last year, he was transferred out of Luoyang and sent to Liangzhou.

To say that there is no resentment is false.

As soon as this wine came up, the things that I usually didn't dare to say were also said.

Wu Xi scolded Dong Zhuo with a big tongue, and the rest of the military schools also scolded one after another.

When he was scolding, the door opened, and a young military academy in uniform strode in.

"Gao Shun, why are you here?"

Wu Xi was stunned and said, "Didn't you ask you to take the troops to patrol the city?" ”

When the rest of the military academies saw Gao Shun, they immediately woke up a little bit from the wine, and they were quite uncomfortable.

Gao Shun replied to the question, and said solemnly: "It is forbidden to drink alcohol in the army, and now General Luo Zheng is going to Baicaotan to join the alliance, and it is the time when the city is empty." But the general gathered a crowd to drink, and if an enemy came to attack, would he not have missed a great matter. ”

Wu Xi said embarrassedly: "Now that the surrounding area is quiet, there are enemy troops coming?" ”

Gao Shun did not flinch, and said bluntly: "Even if there is no enemy army to attack, the general should not gather the generals to drink. ”

"Gao Shun, you are too presumptuous."

Wu Xi's face was a little unbearable, and he was furious, this Gao Shun was a little old-fashioned, he never drank alcohol, and he hated drinking in the army, so Wu Xi specially sent him out to patrol the night tonight, so as not to disturb his eyes.

I don't want this guy to hear the rumors, I just wanted to send this unsightly guy away casually, who thought that Gao Shun would dare to speak out without scruples, Wu Xi was a little annoyed and angry, plus he drank on the ground, how could he bear it.

Wu Xi slapped the case at that time and said angrily: "If you don't retreat, don't blame you for being disrespectful to your superiors." ”

Gao Shun's face sank, and he wanted to say something.

However, his mouth moved, but he didn't say anything after all, and withdrew with a long sigh.

Wu Xi breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and suddenly found that he was afraid of Gao Shun.

Gao Shun is innocent, does not like to drink, and is not close to women, hunger and soldiers eat together, sleep with soldiers in the same camp, and the first war must be the first soldier, very much loved by the soldiers under his command, in the army has a high prestige.

When mediocrity and genius stand together, they will feel inferior.

Wu Xi has this feeling for Gao Shun, and he will never reprimand Gao Shun when he changes.

I drank some wine today, and when I was bumped by Gao Shun, I got a little angry, so I reprimanded him. However, when Gao Shun left, Wu Xi found that he was a little afraid of seeing this guy, especially when he couldn't hold the reason, he was most afraid of seeing Gao Shun.

Outside the gate of Wufu, Gao Shun strode away.

A soldier hurriedly greeted him and asked, "General, where is General Wu Xi......?"

Gao Shun sighed, waved his hand, and didn't say anything, just instructed: "Let the brothers work hard, divide into three groups and take turns to rest every other hour, don't be careless, go!" ”

"Yes."

The soldiers agreed and immediately retreated.

Gao Shun did not return to the city guard department, but took dozens of soldiers to patrol the city in person, and warned the soldiers not to slack off at every gate, while the soldiers all patted their chests to assure, were on duty seriously, and were very vigilant, and none of them neglected their duties.

"Brothers have worked hard!"

Gao Shun patted a soldier on the shoulder and turned to leave.

The soldier looked respectful, stared at Gao Shun's back and said loudly: "General rest assured, the brothers are well fed and warmly clothed, and their lives are much better than when they were in Luoyang, and they will never lose the face of our soldiers of the Northern Army." ”

Gao Shun didn't look back, and strode away with dozens of soldiers.

It wasn't until the ugly time and when the lights went out that I was ready to go back to the city guard office to have a look.

At this moment, a fire suddenly ignited in the east of the city.

"General, there is a fire in the east of the city!"

A soldier pointed to the east of the city.

There was no need for the soldier to remind him, Gao Shun also saw it, and his eyes were full of water at that time.

In the middle of the night, the people living in the city had already slept, and how could there be a fire for no reason.

"Niu Da, take a few people to see what's going on!"

Gao Shun was calm and calm, and casually ordered a soldier to go and check.

"Yes."

The soldier who called Niu Da agreed, and then took a few soldiers and flew to the east of the city.

Gao Shun waved his hand and said, "Let's go, go to the Chengnan Government Office." ”

A junior colonel hurriedly asked, "General, should we go and have a look?" ”

Gao Shun said: "No need, if it is really just a fire caused by the people, send someone to find out and extinguish the fire." If someone wants to cause chaos, I will go to the east of the city, won't I just fulfill the thief's wish, and just respond to all changes in the city guard office. ”

The colonel admired: "What the general said is true. ”

Gao Shun suddenly paused and said, "The quick reprimands went to Simen to investigate, but if there is any trouble, they will report immediately." ”

"Yes."

Immediately, more than a dozen soldiers rushed away and went to the four gates.

Gao Shun took the remaining more than 20 soldiers and hurried to the official office in the south of the city.

However, after not walking a few steps, he heard shouts and screams in the east of the city.

Soon, fires also broke out in the west, south, and north of the city, and there were shouts of killing and screams.

"Sure enough, there are thieves doing chaos!"

Gao Shun's eyes froze, and he immediately paused, and ordered in a deep voice: "Quickly go to Wu Mansion to report to General Wu Xi, just say that there are thieves who are arson, in case there are foreign enemies to help, please General Wu Xi quickly gather a large army to guard against it." ”

"Yes."

Some soldiers responded loudly and galloped away.

Gao Shun continued: "Quickly go to the cavalry camp and tell Lord Wang Meng that there are thieves in the city who are arson, and there may be enemy troops outside the city who want to take advantage of the chaos to seize the city, please Lord Zhao Meng lead three hundred cavalry as a countermeasure, so as not to exhaust our army's foot soldiers." ”

"Yes."

Soldiers were ordered to go again.

A small colonel next to him asked in a loud voice: "General, there are fires everywhere in the city right now, should we go to the city gate?" ”

Gao Shun waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "There are fires in all directions, and I don't know how many thieves there are in the city. ”

"Yes."

The little colonel agreed, and listened attentively to the movements of the Quartet.

The time of the small half pillar of incense passed, the fire in all directions burned more and more, and the screams and shouts of killing were all in all directions, and I don't know how many thieves were doing chaos.

Gao Shun's face was solemn, but he was not chaotic at all, standing in the center of the street and waiting for news from all directions.

A few sneaky guys in front of them poked their heads at the end of the street, walked a few times in this direction, and saw more than 20 soldiers standing in the middle of the street with knives, and immediately ran away, and soon disappeared into the night, and there was no doubt that they were thieves.

A junior colonel looked at Gao Shun and saw that Gao Shun had no intention of chasing and killing, so he couldn't help but say: "General, these guys are thieves who are making trouble at a glance, do you want to send someone to chase and kill." ”

Gao Shun waved his hand and said: "No need, as long as the city is not lost, where can these thieves hide." As long as you wait for dawn, you can find it out after strict investigation, how can you mess up because of a few thieves, and lose a big one because of a small one. ”

Xiao Xiao thought about it too, so he closed his mouth.

At this moment, the east, west, and south gates suddenly shouted and killed in the sky.

The leader of the team immediately changed his face and said quickly: "The general is not good, there are thieves attacking the city gate." ”

Gao Shun said in a deep voice: "Wait, if there is really an enemy army who wants to take advantage of the night, how can it be possible to attack the three gates at the same time." Even if there were thieves who sneaked into the city and hid, the number of them would not be large, and it would be impossible to attack the three gates at the same time. ”

"This ......"

The team leader was stunned and speechless for a while.

The soldiers had solemn faces, holding knives around Gao Shun, concentrating on guard.

The flames soared into the sky, and the shouts of killing rose higher and higher.

On the quiet long street, soldiers kept coming to gather, and soon gathered five hundred foot soldiers.

Time seemed to slow down, and in just one pillar of incense, the soldiers felt that an hour had passed.

Suddenly, the north gate, which had been quiet, finally sounded with a shocking shout of killing.

"Good thief, it's really a fraud!"

Gao Shun's eyes flashed, and he shouted: "Let's go, go to the north gate!" ”

More than 500 foot soldiers immediately shouted, followed Gao Shun and rushed straight to the north gate.
