Chapter 64: Gongsun Hao dies
When it was nearly dusk, Yan Yi rode back and reported: "Young master, there is a fierce battle in the dense forest ahead, and the guard is said to be the original Tieyun cavalry guard of General Zhu, he went to help, let me come back to report."
"Gongsun Hao." Yu Jin immediately guessed that it was Gongsun Hao who had returned, and was going to Zhuge Villa to intercept and kill her.
"Drive." Yu Jin urged the horse to rush forward.
There was a faint cheer in front, and Yu Jin flew from her horse into the woods very quickly, "Who is it?" There was a wary shout.
"I wish the people of the Major General." Yu Jin replied as she flew towards the forest.
"It's Mr. Yan, don't do it." The voice of the painting came over.
Yu Jin entered the dense forest, a mess, three corpses of soldiers lying on the periphery, with broken weapons inside, many stumps and broken arms and corpses of soldiers, and the battlefield had not yet been cleaned.
Yu Jin stepped forward to take a closer look and found that the person who died in the middle was Gongsun Hao. His head was in a different place, his mouth was slightly open, and there was a small needle-shaped hidden weapon in his mouth, which seemed to have been shot into by Huawu, and he was equipped with a hidden weapon when he came.
"Young Master Yan, this is Vice General Qiao." Huawu led a burly young man over, and the man had a frosty face, only a pair of eyes were very bright.
"Is Major General Zhu here, where is he?" Vice Admiral Qiao asked excitedly.
Yu Jin glanced at the battlefield and couldn't help frowning and said, "I'll go first, and the young general will arrive later." How many people did you lose this time? “
"This man is a stubble, fifty-one people came out, thirteen died, and six were wounded."
How could so many people die? Yu Jin stepped forward to check the corpses of the soldiers, most of them were killed by the slap of King Kong, and some were killed by Gongsun Hao's weapon. Yu Jin picked up Gongsun Hao's weapon and looked at it, it was a dagger specially made by the Xuan family of Chu State for the Gongsun family, the general who protected the country.
Out of the corner of her eye, Yu Jin swept two soldiers to clean up the corpses on the periphery in a panic, attracting her attention. A person was found to have a knife wound in the back, his eyes were wide open, and he looked like he couldn't believe it. Her eyes shrank suddenly, it shouldn't be like this. She pretended to check if there was any help, and checked them one by one, and it was even more strange that three people died from stabbing in the back, and Yu Jin took a dagger to the wound and kissed.
Vice General Qiao followed Yu Jin over, and explained in a sad voice: "We are the first post, and we have been ambushed here for more than ten days, and we waited for them today."
"Vice Admiral Qiao, please bury them. I wish the major general 100 taels of silver for each of their families, draw an escort, and give them 1,500 taels of silver tickets, and 200 taels for the wounded soldiers to recuperate. "Yu Jin came out with 20,000 taels of silver tickets, and the four guards each carried 5,000 taels.
"Thank you, Childe, no need, the silver ticket is useless here. There is no place to exchange it here, they have to go far away to the big city to exchange it, and their family has never seen a silver ticket and can't go that far to exchange it. Vice General Qiao was first overjoyed, and then thanked and refused with a bitter face.
The silver ticket rose for almost 20 years, and the silver ticket of the Three Kingdoms all came from the Xuan family of Chu State, which was the largest weapon manufacturer, salt merchant, wood merchant, grain merchant, and organ manufacturing, etc., and was one of the three major families in the world like Zhuge Villa, with privileges. The business is all over the three countries, only the Liang State is the poorest in the late founding of the country, except for the capital, there are Xuanjia ticket stores in two cities.
The Xuanjia silver ticket was suggested and personally designed by Master Yan, and it has multiple layers of anti-piracy marks, which were quickly accepted by wealthy families once they were tried. Yu Jin knew about it, and this time it was negligence that made a joke.
Zhu Yuchen brought Fang Ji over, he greeted Vice General Qiao, Yan Yi and Leng Hui and Ah Xiu were very experienced, they had long been hidden to prevent emergencies, and they didn't show up at all.
"Does Childe have anything to say?" Huawu was very observant, and he hurriedly asked when he saw that Yu Jin's face was worried.
Cleaning the battlefield and burying the corpses, it was already dark. Vice General Qiao sent people to treat the wounded, set up defenses, and prepare to sleep in the wilderness.
Zhu Yuchen walked over and happened to hear Huawu speak, he explained beside him, "Yinuo, if you have something to say, Vice General Qiao's house is near here, and he is the deputy leader of his father's guard, if it weren't for his love for his family, his father would take him back to the capital." “
Yu Jin looked at the soldiers and asked, "Draw the guards, do you know why they don't have armor?"
"I don't know, it's supposed to be armor to defend yourself. Vice Admiral Joe is here, let him explain it to you! "Draw Wu stepped aside to defend.
"Young General, Young Master Yan, the sky is about to get dark, I have ordered someone to raise a fire, let's sit down first and then talk." Vice Admiral Qiao came over and invited the two of them to talk to the raised fire, and several of them began to bury their pots as if they were ready to cook.
The three of them sat down, surrounded by Deputy General Qiao's guards, and Vice General Qiao explained: "After the marshal leaves, hand over the hundred and ten of us who are unwilling to leave to the deputy marshal, the deputy marshal is the person of the first emperor, and the last place with the marshal is not bad." Who knew that the emperor had sent his own people to take over the handsome seal, and we were hung up and disrupted and assigned to the ordinary soldier battalion, and my subordinates had the most Tieyun Riding Old Men.
After receiving Marshal Zhu's message this time, the current marshal said that he could not send troops for fear of causing discord between the two countries due to personal grievances. I insisted on sending troops, and he said that if we take off our armor and give us the formalities, we are not soldiers, so we can do whatever we want. My father and son were deeply favored by the marshal and could not fail to repay it, so I took off my armor with my subordinates who were willing to follow me and came out to wait for Gongsun Hao. “
"Where's your supplies?" Yu Jin asked.
Vice Admiral Qiao sighed and shook his head, "No, when we came out, Deputy Marshal Kaien asked us to bring weapons and five days of supplies, and we had already finished eating." In the last few days, I have been eating wild vegetables, hunting or fishing, and I am hungry and full. But we train a lot, and we often survive in the wild. “
"What are you going to do in the future?"
"I don't know, I just completed the task given by the marshal today, and I haven't thought about the future yet, it's a big deal that we disbanded and went home to farm."
"How many of you are left?"
"None of the dead fled, and there were thirty-eight remaining."
"I have a suggestion, I don't know if Vice Admiral Qiao is willing to listen to it."
"Young Master Yan, please speak."
"I'd like to set up a branch here to help me pick up goods from the border, but I want to know about your families. There is also a list of those who died in this battle, and I will give a silver ticket, and the first dart of the guarantee is to exchange the silver to supply the family of the fallen soldier. The General Dart Bureau is located in the capital, and General Zhu is preparing for construction, and Vice General Qiao can think about it and answer me again. “
"Don't think about it, anyway, I don't have anything to do now, since the marshal is taking the lead, I will follow."
"You'd better go and talk to your men and see how many people are willing to stay."
"Tell the squad leader to come over, and I'll ask them what they think." Adjutant General Joe stood up to inform the guards of the summons.
Zhu Yuchen held Yu Jin's hand and asked, "Do you really want to build a dart line here?" It's far from the capital, close to the border, it's sparsely populated, how are you going to feed them. Not only did they have to eat, wear, and weaponry, but they were all poor and had to support their families. “
Yu Jin has long had thoughts about this group of soldiers, and Master Gong said that she was a soldier in her previous life and had a military complex. She was very sympathetic to the soldiers, although Yu Jin couldn't understand how the woman was a soldier in the barracks, she still took what the master wanted to do and helped the master fulfill his wish, that is, to be as good as possible to such soldiers and help them find a good home.
Yu Jin called Huawu and quietly ordered: "You go and secretly ask Vice General Qiao, is his detachment leader the one who has been following, if they are all old people, quietly let them check who in the team has a knife in their left hand."
Hua Wu nodded and left to communicate with Vice General Qiao. Yu Jin used his internal force and suddenly covered his mouth with his hands and whistled, three long and two short, and there was a long and short echo from three directions from afar.
"What do you want to do?" Yuchen asked nervously.
Yu Jin whispered: "Tell Yan Yi that they should be vigilant, and see who wants to leave the camp in the middle of the night, what did they do?"
Yuchen asked strangely, "Do you suspect that there are traitors among them?"
"I hope I'm thinking too much, and I'll know the result tomorrow, and you can help me tomorrow..." Yu Jin whispered to Yu Chen.
At dawn the next day, everyone lined up, saying that they were willing to follow General Zhu Shao and Yan Gongzi.
"Admiral Qiao, all the dart masters in the dart line have their own files, which is convenient for them to bereavement and take care of their families in case of accidents. I, Yan Gongzi, Fang Guard, and Painting Guard registered separately, can we start with Vice General Qiao? “
Yuchen looked at Vice General Qiao and all the soldiers and asked.
Vice General Qiao was very unhappy in his heart, and even suspected that there were traitors among his people, and it was because of what General Zhu said, if it was someone else, he would definitely throw off his sleeves and lead people away.
After Yu Jin registered everyone's information, she found that two people were added after General Zhu left, they were all orphans, and their whole families died in the war. Yu Jin looked at Hua Wu, who nodded to indicate that one of them was left-handed.
Yu Jin whistled, and Yan Yi walked out from a distance. He pointed out the two men from the crowd and said, "The two of them tried to leave last night, and when they saw me guarding the perimeter, they said it was a big relief."
The two soldiers shouted in dissatisfaction, saying that Yu Jin bullied people and even took care of Dajie. Vice General Qiao and the two detachment leaders were unhappy, and their faces showed grievances and anger.
"You two Wei spies, shut up." Yu Jin suddenly shouted in Wei Chinese.
"You are the spy, we will follow Vice General Qiao for our lives..."The two of them were shouting, and their voices suddenly became quieter.
"You... You guys... What a spy. Although Vice General Qiao didn't know the dialect that Yu Jin spoke, he could hear the words of the two people clearly.
Yu Jin instructed the painter next to him: "You go and search your body, one of them is left-handed, and he has a dagger dedicated to the Gongsun Mansion of Wei State."
Hua Wu and Fang Ji went up, and quickly found a slotted dagger from one person's leg, which was exactly the same as the dagger that Gongsun Hao was used to.
"This dagger is the same as the one used by Gongsun Hao, killing these two rabbit cubs to avenge the unjust death of his brothers." Vice Admiral Qiao was furious and directly asked his subordinates to do it.
"Wait." Unfortunately, they were still one step too late, and the two were directly killed by the angry guards.
"How did you know we had a spy?" Vice General Qiao and everyone were puzzled, and if they didn't solve this answer, they would all feel uncomfortable.
