Chapter 14: Tricks

Walking back, Gongsun Yan pouted and asked, "Master, don't you believe in disciples?" ”

Gu Du replied: "You are different from ordinary people, of course I have to ask clearly, and I can teach you according to your aptitude." ”

Gongsun Yan said: "Master, you saved the disciple's life, and the disciple has been the master's for the rest of his life." ”

Gu Du reprimanded: "Don't say these useless words, concentrate on cultivation, and in two years, Master will find you a good husband." ”

Gongsun Yan said angrily: "I don't want it!" If the Master persecutes the disciples, the disciples will die in front of the Master! ”

Gu Du looked at her sideways, Gongsun Yan raised his face to look at him, and Gu Du reprimanded: "Presumptuous." ”

Gongsun Yan lowered his head and muttered in a low voice.

Lingzhen County County Yahou House, the county order Zhao Kuo was worried in the study. The salt official was killed by the mountain bandits, so he couldn't ignore it, but if he really wanted to fight with the mountain bandits, he would definitely lose his troops and lose his generals, and he wouldn't get any benefits.

Wu Tong, the chief bookkeeper, said: "Your Excellency doesn't have to worry, you just need to lead the troops to go around, and then draw a dozen prisoners from the prison to be designated as mountain bandits, and behead them to show the public." ”

Zhao Kuo said: "Don't I know how to act like this? It's just that if you want to do this, you have to agree to it. ”

Wu Tong said: "Your Excellency is too worried, General Qin may not be willing to suppress the bandits, there is no benefit, and there is a danger of losing the army, the adults can speak out, if he wants to suppress the bandits, then let him suppress it, if he is not willing to suppress the bandits, he will naturally follow the orders of the adults." ”

Zhao Kuo was silent for a while, and said: "Giving people a handle always leaves trouble." ”

Wu Tong said: "That's easy to do, my lord summons General Qin to discuss the matter of suppressing bandits, and then let General Qin take the idea, and wait for the opportunity to speak on the side." ”

Zhao Kuo said happily: "It's so good. ”

The next day, Gu Du took Feng Jiu and Gongsun Yan to Lingzhen County and asked Gongsun Yan to pretend to be a boy.

Gu Du wanted to come to check the movement in person, and he also planned to wait for an opportunity to kill Guo Youfu.

After staying in Lingzhen County for a day, Feng Jiu also asked around, but he didn't hear the news that the garrison was going to suppress bandits, Gu Du was a little puzzled, and asked, "Isn't the surname Meng dead?" ”

Then he shook his head again and said: "It should be dead, if he doesn't die, he will definitely urge the garrison to suppress the bandits." ”

Feng Jiu said: "They should still be discussing, the disciple thinks that the garrison will inevitably move, but it is difficult to say whether it is really a bandit." ”

Gu Du looked at him, and Feng Jiu explained: "The master doesn't know the style of the local officials, and the disciple estimates that they will only make a show, and then select a few prisoners from the prison to behead them for public display. ”

Gu Du frowned and asked, "Then aren't they afraid that we will make trouble again?" ”

Feng Jiu said: "The official word has two mouths, even if we make trouble again, they can be said to be another group of bandits, anyway, the matter surnamed Meng can be folded." ”

Gu Du nodded, he was in the palace from the beginning, then the border pass, and then went to Zeguo, he really didn't know about the local style of behavior.

Gu Du asked, "When do you think it's appropriate for us to kill Guo Youfu?" ”

Feng Jiu replied: "The disciple thinks that we should wait for this gust of wind to pass, wait for Lingzhen County to deal with the matter of the surname Meng, and after the guards from the imperial city have left, we will do it again." ”

Gu Du nodded and responded, "Okay, then let's just stare here." ”

The result of Lingzhen County's deliberations was naturally to act in accordance with the strategy of Wu Tong, the chief bookkeeper, and Qin Huo was not willing to let his soldiers fight the mountain bandits, such a fierce mountain bandit, it was better not to provoke.

Before sending out the troops, 24 people were selected from the prison and secretly escorted to the outside of the city, and then 500 garrisons poured out of the nest, went around the outside of the city, and then escorted these 24 so-called mountain bandits back.

Zhang Hao knew the tricks played by Lingzhen County, first of all, he had been to the cottage, but the county commander Zhao Kuo did not let him follow the army out of the city, saying that it was a mountain bandit, and the garrison would definitely return triumphantly, and there was no need for Zhang Hao to work.

Secondly, Zhang Hao lost dozens of sets of swords and armor, if he really went to suppress the bandits, how could there be no loot? In addition, 500 garrisons went out of the city and 500 garrisons came back, and there was not even a single wounded, when everyone else was blind?

However, Zhang Hao didn't say anything, as long as Master Meng could end this matter, he would be able to explain when he returned to the imperial city.

The next day, Zhang Hao set off with his soldiers, and he didn't want to stay in Lingzhen County for a moment. After going out of the city for more than ten miles, he was shocked to see Gu Du and the three of them standing on the side of the road, and Gu Du waved to him with a smile.

Zhang Hao frowned, walked closer, turned over and dismounted, pressed his hand on the hilt and asked, "What do you want?" ”

Gu Du smiled and said: "Acquaintance is fate, come to see the general off, by the way, say a few words of self-consideration." ”

Zhang Hao said: "It's also interesting to step down, I actually want to talk to General Ben, then let's say it, General Ben listen." ”

Gu Du said: "Have you ever thought about it, why did you lead a hundred soldiers, but you couldn't take me alone?" ”

Zhang Hao said coldly: "The martial arts under your feet are obvious to all, so you don't need to show off anymore, right?" ”

Gu Du smiled and said, "It's not a showmanship, but to tell the general the truth, I'm Gu Du." ”

Zhang Hao sneered: "It's called Gu Du again? It's not called ......"

Zhang Hao suddenly reacted, stared at Gu Du with round eyes and asked, "Gu Du?" ”

Zhang Hao's scalp is numb, no wonder he doesn't feel like an ordinary person, it turns out that he is really not an ordinary person.

Gu Du said: "I didn't kill the surname Meng, how did the surname Meng die?" ”

Zhang Hao was silent for a moment and asked, "What does Master Gu want?" ”

Gu Du said: "Even if the matter surnamed Meng can be concluded, your guards are not good, and you will be punished when you go back, so it is better to follow me." ”

Zhang Hao's eyes were strange, he looked at Gu Du and asked, "Treason with you?" ”

Gu Du smiled and said, "You even killed the officials you protected, and you still have to argue about treason or not?" ”

Zhang Hao said calmly: "There are two reasons for killing Meng Zhuo, one is that in front of the cottage, the words of the Gongsun girl make me embarrassed. The second is that Meng Zhuo and his people are cunning and cunning, and if they don't kill him, I and my brothers will not end well. That's why I killed him, which is not the same as treason. ”

Gu Du nodded and said loudly, "Brothers, does anyone want to follow me?" Two pieces of silver per person per month, paid monthly, never in arrears, and a meal of meat every ten days, does anyone come with me? ”

Zhang Hao frowned, this is too much to take him seriously.

Gu Du said again: "When you are a soldier and eat food, you are paid as a soldier, I not only have food and salary here, but also meat to eat, is there anyone who is willing?" ”

Someone spoke, not loud: "Following you, isn't it treason?" ”

Gu Du said: "If you don't follow me, you will be my enemy in the future, I am in Lancheng, with 40,000 defenders against the 200,000 army of the Spirit Kingdom, in the north of the grassland, I use 70,000 defenders against the Spirit Emperor's personal expedition, as long as I live for one day, I will not be finished with the Spirit Emperor, in the world today, there are only a handful of people who can kill me, and I can't die, don't say anything about treason or treason, I never thought of treason, I shed blood and sweat for the Spirit Kingdom, but in exchange for the tragic death of my wife and children." ”
