Chapter 140: It's simple

Usually, before the autumn harvest, the military rations will be transported once, and the remaining stocks will be consumed, and the old grain will be consumed, and then the grain will be transported again after the autumn harvest, and the new grain will be delivered, as is the case every year.

A few days later, the sentry reported that a large group of officers and soldiers were escorting military rations in the direction of Rizhao Pass.

Gu Yiyi took Feng Jiu and Ye Xiaodong and carried the oil canister prepared in advance down the mountain.

Burning grain is a thing that can't be done by one person, it's too tiring, but it's not easy to do when there are too many people, it's easy to startle the grass and snakes, and it's easy to be caught alive.

And Gu Du didn't expect to be able to burn all the food, even if it was only half of the military rations for the 30,000 defenders, even if he brought all the existing manpower, he couldn't burn it all.

Besides, these mountain bandits only care about carrying silver, and have not been seriously trained, and letting them burn grain is basically equivalent to letting them go to death.

Dongfang Xia Lan turned her face and complained to Gongsun Yan: "Don't take me there!" Never take me! That's true in the north, it's still true in the south! ”

Gongsun Yan said: "You followed, what should I do?" It's a burden for me to go. ”

Dongfang Xia Lan looked at her, and Gongsun Yan said again: "This is a bandit's nest, you leave me alone, and I won't let the bandits tear it alive?" ”

Dongfang Xia Lan pursed her lips and sighed, "Waste." ”

Gongsun Yan hugged her and coaxed: "Yes, I'm a waste, okay?" ”

Gu Du arrived at the bottom of the mountain, ambushed in the forest and waited for it to get dark, Feng Jiu asked, "Master, do it at the foot of the mountain?" ”

Since Gu Du began to train him, he called Gu Du Master, because his identity is a little special, he is the spiritual servant of the high priest, and Gu Du should be called a master, but in the cottage, he should also call Gu Du a big master, instead of calculating the change of title on different occasions, it is better to call Master directly, anyway, Gu Du does have a teaching feeling for him.

Gu Du replied: "It's okay, we are burning grain, not grabbing grain, they will only think that it is a fine work, and they will not think of the mountain bandits, and the so-called real is false, and the virtual is real, we will do it near Tiger Roaring Mountain, they will think that it is a fine work that wants to blame the mountain bandits." ”

After the third watch, Gu Ducai began to act, let Feng Jiu and Ye Xiaodong wait, he went up first, and when he saw the fire and the officers and soldiers guarding the grain were in chaos, they would find a grain truck with few people or no one to take care of it.

The officers and men on duty at night were very lax, and some even dozed off with their spears and grain carts, perhaps because they had never encountered robbers while transporting grain in their own country.

Gu Dumao went to the edge of the forest, thought about it, learned two night owl calls, and woke up the two closest officers and soldiers.

An officer and soldier picked up a piece of dirt and threw it into the woods, scolding: "Damn, what are you screaming in the middle of the night, it's really fucking unlucky!" ”

Another officer and soldier said, "Okay, you scream louder than it, sleep a little longer." ”

The former said, "You sleep, I'll go and make it easier." ”

Gu Duyin was behind the tree, waited for the officer and soldier to walk to the edge of the forest, and then glanced at the officer and soldier on the side of the grain cart, and saw that he had already lowered his head by leaning on the grain cart, so he touched behind the officer and soldier who was convenient, stretched out his hand to clasp the throat of the officer and soldier, and silently crushed his throat.

Changing into the clothes of the officers and soldiers, putting on his armor, Gu Du walked back to the grain truck with his bag on his back, strangled the officers and soldiers who were dozing off, and then poured the oil on the grain truck.

When the fire broke out, the nearby officers and soldiers woke up and shouted to put out the fire, Gu Du hid behind people, pulled out a horizontal knife, and cut five officers and soldiers in a row before being discovered.

"There is a fine work! Grasp the details! Shouts rang out one after another.

Gu Du led the officers and soldiers to run into the mountains and forests, he couldn't fight, on the one hand, there were too many officers and soldiers, on the other hand, he couldn't let people find out that he was very good at fighting, as a detailed work, he should run if he was discovered, after all, he was alone.

Feng Jiu and Ye Xiaodong touched the back of the team, lit two grain trucks respectively, and then ran into the mountains and forests.

The sneak attack was successful, but the results were insignificant, and the three commanders had six grain wagons lit, and they had not all burned out, because there were no soldiers to attack, and the fire was quickly extinguished by the officers and soldiers.

Gu Du had never burned grain and grass, and he thought about it simply, burning grain and trapping were completely different things.

After returning to the cottage, Gu Du said to Feng Jiu: "I still have to recruit people." ”

Feng Jiu said: "Master, let's go back and transfer troops, transfer three thousand elites over, it's convenient to do anything, just pointing to recruitment, when will you become an army?" And we have to practice, all the ordnance has to be built, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and money-consuming, we now have a camp, and the disciple thinks it is more appropriate to go back and transfer troops. ”

Gu Du was silent, he didn't think about going back to transfer troops, as Feng Jiu said, that was the easiest way to save trouble.

It's just that once he proposes to transfer troops, it is likely that he will be suspicious of the courtiers, and even Emperor Ze will be suspicious, after all, he is stationed in the territory of the Spirit Kingdom, and he is suspected of borrowing chickens to lay eggs, and Li Dai is stiff.

Feng Jiu asked, "Master, are you afraid of the courtiers' suspicion?" ”

Gu Du replied, "Yes." ”

Feng Jiu asked, "Then does Master want to be the emperor?" ”

Gu Du was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and replied, "What's so good about being an emperor?" I'm tired and annoying, I have to worry about everything, and with my background, it's so easy to be an emperor. ”

Feng Jiu said: "Since the master understands these truths, he is not afraid to tell the emperor the truth. ”

Gu Du nodded silently, and Feng Jiu said, "The disciple is guarding the camp, and the master and the county lord will go back to transfer troops, right?" ”

Gu Du nodded again and said, "Okay." ”

Turning the day, Gu Du and Dongfang Xia Lan rode away on Mo Xuan, and Gongsun Yan saw the backs of the two disappear, and suddenly said to Feng Jiu: "When the master comes back, let's get married." ”

Feng Jiu was stunned, Gongsun Yan looked at him with a raised face and asked, "You don't want to?" ”

Feng Jiu hurriedly replied, "Yes!" Just ......"

Feng Jiu hesitated and considered the choice of words, and Gongsun Yan said: "I like Master, but Master is only one person, and it will not be my turn to do anything, and Xia Lan told me that if Uncle Shi dies, she will marry Master, and if I rob her, she will kill me." ”

Feng Jiu frowned and said, "How can she say such a thing? ”

Gongsun Yan replied: "She told me, not to you, besides, what's wrong with this kind of thing?" She said that if Uncle Shi died, she didn't say that she would kill Uncle Shi. ”

Feng Jiu took her hand, looked into her eyes and asked, "Are you really willing to marry me?" ”

Gongsun Yan said angrily: "Why do I want to tell you if I don't want to? Xia Lan told me everything about her mother and uncle...... By the way, let me ask you, does Xia Lan look very similar to Shi Niang? ”

Feng Jiu nodded and replied, "It's almost exactly the same, even the temper is similar." ”

Gongsun Yan smiled lightly and said, "She didn't fool me. ”

Feng Jiu asked weakly, "Are you still unwilling?" ”

Gongsun Yan glared and said, "Are you willing? Don't you like Shi Niang too? Carrying corpses for thousands of miles, what I see is your affection. ”
