Chapter 684: Wooing Ma Xianglin
In Lu'an City, in a wing room of the Military Affairs Department of the Ming Army on West Street, Gao Jie squinted and sat on a Taishi chair and hunched over the stove next to him, listening to what his subordinates were saying.
"Zheng Hong has already connected two villages, Weng Zhiqi captured Zhang Xianzhong's son Ai Nengqi?" Hearing this, Gao Jie's squinting eyes opened.
"Yes, division commander, the news has just arrived, Weng Zhiqi is Ai Nengqi who was captured in the mountains yesterday afternoon! As for the matter on the other side of the hidden mountain, it is not a matter of knowing when......"
"Go on!"
Gao Jie's eyes narrowed again.
"Uncle Huang ordered Ma Xianglin to send troops to the mountains ......"
With a bang, before his subordinates finished speaking, Gao Jie slammed his fist into the table next to him: "Huang Pifu deceived people too much"
"Division Commander ......"
The subordinates were shocked.
"My third division garrison Lu'an is already understaffed, and finally the prince has transferred a helper, what qualifications does he have to say that he will be transferred away, is there a military order from the prince for this matter, by the way, is the prince back, Lao Tzu wants to participate in a copy of Huang Pifu."
"Back to the teacher, the prince hasn't come back yet...... You dissipate your anger, this matter is still subject to Uncle Huang's arrangement for the time being, after all, what he said about this piece is ......"
The subordinates hurriedly comforted the hot-tempered master.
"What he said is a p", Gao Jie stood up suddenly: "I don't know what the prince thinks, I am from the First Army, why did you transfer me to his Second Army...... Just think about it, you go and let the herald tell Huang Degong, I won't let people go, unless the prince sends an order."
"Teacher, will this offend Uncle Huang......
"Lao Tzu is afraid of offending him? He forced him to come to Lu'an, but he was comfortable hiding in the gentle township of Shucheng to enjoy the blessings, the first army dealt with Zhang Xianzhong in Qianshan, I stared at the old Hui in Huoshan in Lu'an, who did he deal with in Shucheng......" Gao Jie said and suddenly remembered something. "Hmph, that is, pick up a fish that slips through the net, and a blind cat touches a dead mouse."
"The division commander is not like this......" The subordinates suddenly approached Gao Jie and whispered in a whisper: "At least this is how we are reasonable, even if there is a conflict with Uncle Huang, even if the prince comes, it can't be said that we are not."
"Well, that's fine!" Gao Jie nodded. waved his hand a little impatiently: "That's it, when the prince comes back, inform me immediately, Lao Tzu wants to apply for transfer to Qianshan!" ”
"Don't don't, division commander, although there are big fish in the hidden mountain, there are many people fishing, it may not be a good thing to go there, my subordinates have heard that there is chaos over there."
Oh, a smile suddenly appeared on Gao Jie's face: "Hmm." It's supposed to be messy, it's not vegetarian! Saying that, he took a long breath, "I'm going to go to Subu Town, Xiao Wang prepares the car, by the way, and then go to the Military Affairs Office to get a cigarette ......."
"Yes, by the way, Commander, you only have eight packs of cigarettes this month, and you have to spend money to buy them after you smoke them......"
"Where is all this nonsense. Is there a lot of money......"
Subu Town is a large town on the edge of the mountain twenty miles southwest of Lu'an, and this town is not only the entrance to the mountain. It is also the mountain pass that flows out of Dabie Mountain and passes through Lu'an City, which can be said to be strategically very important.
At this time, there was an army stationed in such an important strategic location, that is, nearly 10,000 white pole soldiers led by Qin Liangyu's son Ma Xianglin were stationed here.
Although Gao Jie is rude, he is not stupid at all, and there are a few stupid people who can sit on the head of an army. Just when the battalions were ordered to garrison the various places surrounding the mountains and had their own actions, only Gao Jie was stationed in Lu'an City without moving.
In addition to sending various spies into the mountains to find out information. Gao Jie did not send any other soldiers to the mountain pass, this was not his violation of military orders, but his abacus.
Because looking at the seven cities around the mountain, other places are either camped together, such as the hidden mountain. Either there's a neighbor. Such as Shucheng. But he is alone in a corner of Lu'an, with no distant relatives and no close neighbors, and what is even worse is that the strength is not enough, only one division, although one of his divisions is equal to Huang Degong's army.
But! You must know that in Huoshan, opposite Lu'an City, there are hundreds of thousands of horses who have returned to the old Hui, which is obviously not something that you can shake with 20,000 horses, so Gao Jie can only use conservative methods for this.
In fact, he has long been eyeing the important location of Subu Town, but firstly, he suffers from a shortage of manpower, secondly, it is too close to the mountainous area, and the danger factor is too great, and he has always wanted to wait for cannon fodder to fill this pit, so the people of the headquarters have been standing still.
This is a kind of warlord thinking, but it is precisely the orthodox thinking of this era, as a general in charge of a battalion, no one wants to consume his strength in vain, and besides, there are obviously seventy or eighty thousand cannon fodder available, so why consume his own strength.
Gao Jie, who was waiting for the cannon fodder of the Qing army to fill the pit, didn't expect Ma Xianglin to come at this time, Nima, it's good if you don't die in poverty, it doesn't matter if you are a white pole soldier or a Qing army, as long as you can fill the pit for me, so when Ma Xianglin took his white pole soldiers all the way to Lu'an, his butt was not yet hot, and Gao Jie gave an order: go south to garrison Subu Town.
Ma Xianglin has followed his parents to fight in the north and south since he was a child, in addition to his rich combat experience, people's hearts have also reached a certain level, and it can even be said that Gao Jie knows what kind of this thing is going to pull when he opens his mouth.
However, the Ma family, as a model of loyalty, knew that it was a fire pit, and it was incumbent on them to choose to jump, of course, there were conditions and sufficient strategic materials.
Gao Jie didn't expect this kid to be so refreshing, but fortunately, Uncle Gao was also very happy, asking for food, give! He also approved a lot of explosives packages, and even personally went to the Military Affairs Department to help Ma Xianglin apply for a car, after all, Comrade Ma is also qualified to match a car!
Cheerful people are very happy in everything they do, and after getting what they need, Ma Xianglin immediately led his troops to Subu Town, and slaughtered Subu Town in just over an hour!
Yes! Slaughter Town! Because according to Ma Xianglin's judgment, nine times out of ten the people in this big town are related to the thief army, so he plans to slaughter nine times out of ten, and the facts have indeed proved after the massacre that there are many thief troops in the town, and the weapons collected and the resistance encountered in the process of slaughter can be implemented.
After receiving Ma Xianglin's report on slaughtering the town, Gao Jie was not angry but happy, and his eyes narrowed, this is a ruthless character who is very similar to himself, and his style of doing things is similar, I like it! I like it in my heart, I think about my temper, which causes my grandmother not to love my uncle and uncle, and I don't like anyone in the first army, and Huang Degong of the second army is even more difficult to deal with, and the interpersonal relationship is called a bad one, it is necessary to take advantage of this kid's unfamiliarity with others to win over the relationship.
So when his subordinates asked if he wanted to report this matter to the Military Discipline Department, Gao Jie directly suppressed it: "What is a massacre, it is obviously a war with the thief army, besides, didn't he let go of the old, weak, young and disabled."
Since he made up his mind to make friends, Gao Jie also showed his sincerity, and gave endless care in the past few days when Ma Xianglin was stationed in Subu Town, in addition to the grain, rice, oil, salt, tents and other materials, he also shared his private collection of cigarettes, alcohol, snacks and other things with Comrade Ma, and even the gun that his henchmen couldn't touch was generous to Comrade Ma for several rounds.
It is because of this that although the time is short, the two have established a deep relationship, which is why Gao Jie lost his temper when he heard that Huang Degong was going to transfer Ma Xianglin away, because in addition to wanting to win over a comrade-in-arms, that is, the white pole soldiers fought mountain warfare! No one wants to let go.
"Damn, the cigarettes are really expensive......" Gao Jie thought that the Chinese cigarette in his hand cost twenty taels of silver, which is still the internal price, even if he bragged about it just now, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and scolded all the way.
As a division-level officer, he can dispose of three cigarettes for free every month, that is, one pack a day, but this product is a smoker, at least two packs a day, and three packs a day, obviously this free is not enough.
"Hey, Brother Gao, why are you here at this time......" As soon as Gao Jie opened the car door, Ma Xianglin had already hurried over with enthusiasm on his face.
"Hehe, my eldest brother is bored in the city, thinking of looking for you to have a drink at night, and bring a cigarette by the way", Gao Jie laughed after getting out of the car, and threw the Chinese strip over!
Ma Xianglin stretched out his hand to take it, with a look of surprise: "Thank you, big brother, this cigarette will cost a lot of money!" "In the past few days, Comrade Pony has also smoked several kinds of cigarettes, and he also knows a little about the price.
"And, it's not bad money."
Gao Jie didn't care, and walked towards the town with a wave of his big hand, followed by Ma Xianglin with a smile.
