Chapter 146: Departure
In the security army, after Gu Yanzhang explained the ins and outs of the matter, he only got an ambiguous reply from Chen Hao, he thanked him, did not entangle, but simply withdrew from Chen Hao's camp.
He stepped out for a while, pondered for a moment, and then turned and went to the camp stables.
Gu Yanzhang was responsible for the operation at this time, and when he entered the stable, he was justified, and when he arrived at the door, he only showed the pass card, and was let go by the guards.
Checking the water in the manger and mule trough all the way, before he knew it, he stood on the edge of the horse stable dedicated to the generals, stood still, and carefully examined it. About a quarter of an hour later, a few soldiers outside walked in with the soldiers guarding the stables, and the other party took seven or eight horses and took Chen Hao's mount.
Gu Yanzhang silently counted the hours in his heart, and slowly walked to the side of the manger near the outer wall of the barracks.
It was not early, and his vision was not as clear as it was during the day, so he leaned down, reached out and picked up a handful of hay, looked closer, and began to examine the manger from manger to manger, as if carefully examining the texture of the hay.
After a long time of tea, he suddenly stood upβfor he could hear the sound of horses' hoofs outside the barracks, from far and near, and from near and far, toward the east.
Gu Yanzhang listened to the voice and identified it for a while, roughly calculated the number of people and horses in this group, matched the number of horses that were taken away by the same party, and looked at the direction of the east side, and after confirming again and again in his heart, it was the location of the commander's camp where Yang Kui was stationed, and then he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After he couldn't hear a sound at all, he slapped off the grass clippings in his hands, walked back to his class room quickly, sorted out all the affairs that he had assisted Zhou Qing in the past few days, and wrote a clear, simple and clear handover order, and then returned to the barracks, quickly put away his bags, sat down at the table again, drew the route back to Yanzhou City, and looked at it carefully.
As soon as the tidying was completed, there was a knock on the door of the barracks, and a soldier in Chen Hao's tent pushed the door in, and after saying hello, he said, "Chen Hao has summoned you over." β
Gu Yanzhang thanked him, put down the pen in his hand, cleaned up the tabletop, straightened his appearance, and immediately followed the little soldier out.
Only when he entered the camp tent, and only had time to salute, Chen Hao raised his head and said to him: "You go and clean up and hand over the affairs in your hands." Then he pointed to the two people standing aside, "After the handover is completed, go back to Yanzhou with the two of them, sort out the family's financial materials, transfer what should be transferred, record the names that should be recorded, and then go to the middle of the state to clear the servants and 200 soldiers, and within 12 days, escort the grain and straw to come over." β
After finishing speaking, he handed over a few documents to Gu Yanzhang for the soldiers and servants.
Gu Yanzhang took the paperwork, restrained his mood, bowed to Chen Hao, and said yes, and finally let go of the other half of his breath.
He didn't know the middle details, but he could probably guess that this should be after Chen Hao went to discuss with Yang Kui, and got the other party's approval, so that there would be an arrangement at this time.
Sure enough, Gu Yanzhang took the paperwork, and Chen Hao pointed at him and said to the two people: "This is the main Gu Yanzhang of that matter, who is now serving in my security army." β
pointed to one of them again and said to Gu Yanzhang: "This is Zhang Hucao of Yanzhou Prefecture." "Referring to another person," this is Xu Dianzhi under the Pingzhang account. β
Yang Kui wanted to fight back against the Northern Barbarians, and since half a year, he has been seconding reinforcements everywhere, and under the original structure, there are not enough manpower to take care of it, so it is not uncommon to bring one or two Hu Cao, who are familiar with the state government, to help manage the roster of Gou soldiers.
The two sides greeted each other and said goodbye to Chen Hao together.
As soon as he came out of the tent door under the jurisdiction of the security army, Gu Yanzhang immediately greeted the two, first introduced himself, and then said: "It's annoying for the two officials to accompany me this time." β
At this moment, he reined in the edge in front of Zhou Qing and Chen Hao, and turned back into that young man with a gentle temperament, who looked hearty and harmless, and it was very easy to make people feel good.
The two people sent by Yang Kui had already been instructed and knew that they should be polite to Gu Yanzhang, but they were also a little happy to see him so polite.
That Zhang Hu Cao said to Gu Yanzhang: "You go and get busy, the two of us will wait for you in front of the door." β
Xu Dianzhi also said: "I'm embarrassed to urge, only this time you and I have to escort the heavy grain back to the camp, the time is very rushed, if it is delayed, the art of war must not be a trick." You hand over the matters in hand first, pack up your things, I'm afraid we will have to rush overnight. β
Gu Yanzhang was simply overjoyed.
As soon as he got Chen Hao's promise, he couldn't wait to turn into a bird, put on his wings and fly back to Yanzhou City immediately, he was afraid that he couldn't move these two, and he was thinking about how to make them work hard to go faster, and when he heard Xu Dianzhi speak, it was like someone gave him a pillow when he was sleepy!
He immediately said: "It's okay, it's important to run an errand, now there is snow on the road, and there is a moon, and then the horse will hang one or two lanterns on his head, as long as he doesn't take the mountain road, he is not afraid to rush to the night!" β
A look that couldn't be more obedient.
Xu Da nodded secretly in his heart.
He wants to go back to Yanzhou with this young man, and then he has to escort the heavy grain and straw in the state to the front of the battle, the twelve-day deadline, from Yanzhou to the Zhenrong army, is already in a hurry, if he encounters a dragger, he has to teach a lesson, so that the other party knows what the rules are.
Xu Da didn't know the inside story, and thought that it was because Gu Yanzhang had sent a large amount of family wealth to get some benefits, and wanted to take this opportunity to lie down and get some credit, so that Yang Kui and Chen Hao could use this matter to repay him for merit in the future.
After a while, the three of them returned to the barracks, Gu Yanzhang settled the two of them, and took the handover list to find the guard on duty in the transfer room.
He had cleaned up his affairs, sorted out the most detailed and clear list in advance, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he had completed the handover under the supervision of the chief, and immediately arrived at the door with his bags.
Xu and Zhang were occupying a couch before they laid out the cover, wanting to make up for a sleep, in case they had to rush in the second half of the night.
That Zhang Hucao said to Xu Da: "He still has the affairs of the transfer division to be handed over, that is, it is cleaned up quickly, and we can get a good sleep for an hour or two." β
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps at the door, and then there was a soft knock on the door.
The two were lying in their clothes, but at this time Xu Da was close, so he got up and pulled the bolt of the door, and when he didn't want the door to open, there was a young man dressed in riding clothes and carrying a bag on his back.
- Who is not Gu Yanzhang?
The young man saw Xu Da answering the door, and said with a smile: "Dianzhi, we have already cleaned up below, let's set off immediately!" β
