Chapter 205: Expediency
Seeing Gao Qing looking up and glaring, looking arrogant, Hua An did not have a trace of dissatisfaction, but felt quite cute, he smiled indifferently, leaned into Gao Qing's ear, and said: "It will take at least a few days to send troops here from the pill capital!" Besides, your father may not know that you are here, and even if we kill you, your father will not know. After speaking, he stretched out his finger and gently wiped it twice on Gao Qing's snow-white neck.
"You dare to ...... If you dare to bully me, my father will not let you go. Gao Qing's tone was still very strong, but her arrogance was much less, and there was a trace of apprehension in her words.
Seeing that Gao Qing was still very tough, Hua An suddenly felt quite interesting, he took a step forward, almost attached to Gao Qing's chest, reached out and grabbed Gao Qing's chin, and quipped: "I look like this, is it considered bullying you." After speaking, his mouth had already come to Gao Qing's mouth, and he kissed him an inch closer.
"If you bully me, my father will definitely kill you." The corners of Gao Qing's eyes were a little rosy, and her chest was rising and falling violently because of tension.
This seems to be an unintentional move, but it hit Hua'an's weakness, you must know that Hua'an is the most unbearable to see a woman crying, seeing Gao Qing's eyes reddened, he hurriedly took a few steps back, and turned around quite boringly.
"Congratulations to General Hua, you have won the battle and exterminated the thieves." Just as Hua An turned around, Chu Li came over with the officials of the mission.
When Hua An saw Chu Li, he hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "General Chu has won the award, this is what the last general should do." ”
"Oh, and a female bandit leader was captured." Chu Li looked at Gao Qing and was slightly surprised.
Hua An smiled indifferently, glanced at Gao Qing, and explained: "General Chu, this female thief is not small, she is the princess of Goguryeo, named Gao Qing. ”
"What, Goguryeo princess." Chu Li was shocked when he heard this, stared at Gao Qing carefully for a long time, frowned, and said, "General Hua, how can you be sure that she is the princess of Goguryeo." ”
Chu Li's suspicion is reasonable, as the princess of Goguryeo, she should stay in the palace of Marudu, how could she be ambushed in a barren mountain, and besides, she also tried to ambush the Great Jin mission, no matter how you think about it, it is very unreasonable.
Hua An was not in a hurry, and carefully reported the ins and outs of the matter to Chu Li, and analyzed Gao Qing's appearance, personality and attitude, and affirmed that Gao Qing in front of him was the princess of Goguryeo.
Chu Li nodded suddenly in realization when he heard this, and then frowned, as if he had encountered something extremely difficult to solve.
"General Chu, what to do with them." Hua An asked with his fists clenched.
Chu Li pondered for a long time, but he never answered.
Hua An saw helplessness and anxiety in Chu Bao's eyes, and after thinking about it carefully, this is indeed a very tricky thing.
Gao Qing, as a princess of Goguryeo, pretended to be Murong Hao's subordinates and intended to attack the Great Jin Mission, which was not only a contempt for the Son of Heaven of the Great Jin, but also a false accusation against Murong Hao, the king of Yan.
But after all, she is the princess of Goguryeo, the baby daughter of Gao Zhao, the king of Goguryeo, as the saying goes, there is no impermeable wall in the world, if she is really killed, in case Gao Zhao knows about it and investigates it, the consequences are quite strict, and the Liangzi of the Great Jin and Goguryeo is afraid that they will not be able to solve it for decades, and it is definitely not in the interests of the Great Jin to make enemies of Goguryeo.
This is really a two-sided dilemma, neither killing nor releasing it, and the matter is deadlocked here.
"General Hua, my lords, you come with me." Chu Li held back for a long time, and finally spoke.
Hua An and several officials of the mission followed Chu Li to the back of a carriage.
Chu Li glanced at everyone and said softly: "You all know the ins and outs of the matter, how to deal with it, I want to hear your opinions." ”
All the officials lowered their heads and were silent, too, it was difficult to think of a suitable solution in a hurry for such a tricky matter.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Chu Li was very disappointed, of course, this was also in his expectation, after all, he couldn't think of a solution to such a tricky matter, how could these people count on it.
"General Hua, do you have any good ideas?" Chu Li looked at Hua An and asked softly, after all, Gao Qing was caught by Hua An, and Hua An provoked the matter, so it is most appropriate to ask Hua An.
Hua An frowned and pondered for a moment, and said, "If you don't kill or let go, take her with you." ”
"Why?" Chu Li asked eagerly.
"Killing her will anger the entire Goguryeo, and letting her go will make it seem that our Dajin is weak and bulliful, besides, this princess has a very strong temper, if she is really released, in the next few days, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not set up an ambush again, it is better to imprison for a while, wait for us to enter Xiangping, away from the Goguryeo border, and then find an opportunity to let her go, which is also an expedient measure." Hua An replied with a fist.
"Yes, yes, that's how it should be."
"There's no better way, and it seems like that's the only way to go."
"But there are more than 200 prisoners, and we have changed to the land route, and it has already cost a lot of silver taels to build cars and hire coachmen, and the rations for these two hundred people are another expense, and the burden is too heavy."
The ministers began to talk about it.
Chu Li pondered for a moment, and said: "The general decided to temporarily escort the princess of Goguryeo, and after the remaining two hundred captives collected their weapons, they will be taken care of by Haosheng, and after dawn, they will all be released." ”
"Yes, I'll do it." Hua An clenched his fists and turned to carry out the order.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and after a while, the sun had completely set, and under Hua An's order, all the soldiers immediately cleaned up the battlefield, buried the corpses in the snow nearby, collected all the weapons of the battlefield, and drove all the more than two hundred prisoners to a corner, where they were guarded by thirty heavily armed soldiers.
Hundreds of bonfires had been lit in the valley, the soldiers in charge of logistics were busy cooking, some soldiers were setting up tents, and the soldiers in charge of sentry had also entered the top of the two peaks.
By the time it was ready, it was already completely dark, and hundreds of cauldrons wafted the mouth-watering smell of rice, and soldiers and coachmen scrambled to serve it.
Chu Li and a group of officials were naturally in the big tent, sitting and eating, Hua An and the main officers were also among them, as for the ordinary soldiers and coachmen, they could only be aggrieved and stand in the snow in the cold wind to make do.
As for the captured Goguryeo soldiers, they did not have their share at all, and wisps of rice wafted to the noses of the two hundred captives, and many of the captives were anxious to leave their saliva.
Hua An, who was full of food and drink, refilled the bowl of rice and grabbed a chicken leg and walked towards the captive.
When the captives saw Hua An walking towards them with food, they suddenly felt even more hungry in their hearts, especially the fragrant chicken legs, which made the captives salivate even more.
However, Hua An is not so kind to give these captives food, anyway, if you don't eat a meal, you can't starve to death, Hua An served this bowl of rice specially prepared for Gao Qing, after all, people are girls, and they are easy to get haggard when they are hungry, looking at the beauty haggard, how can Hua An's heart be at ease?
