Chapter 290 - Under the Mask
In order to dare to go, Gordon only brought a battalion of more than 500 soldiers, which was still considered elite, and at this time the soldiers of the patrol army had been ordered to stop the army and set up camp, but at this time, the patrol army was no longer laughing in the barracks, but was full of the cold momentum of slaughter.
In the main general's tent next to the patrol army, Gao Deng, who was full of meat, changed his previous cowardly posture, sat on the main general's seat, closed his eyes slightly, and listened to the report of the partial general under the tent.
"General, the order has been sent to the battalions, and the march has been suspended."
"General, I have sent people who are quick to explain, but... I don't know anything about it, and I ask the general to make it clear. ”
The next general opened his mouth to speak bluntly, and the rest of the generals heard the prestige, only to see that this person was at the beginning of the beacon fire, and he opened his mouth to admonish the person of Gordon.
Gordon opened a pair of small eyes that were almost squeezed by the meat on his face, glanced at the partial general who asked under the tent, and replied unhurriedly: "Say." ”
Ignoring the tugging gesture of his comrades beside him, the general snorted coldly, and said all the resentment that had been suppressed in his heart in the past few days: "Our patrol guards are already patrolling and guarding the people, how can we let these outsiders enter the camp without permission... Well, even if these people are the general's best friends, but now that the beacon fire is smoking, the general has ordered to suspend the march and camp on the spot, such a violation of military law, if the general does not give an explanation today, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. ”
Gordon smiled when he heard this, and his small eyes no longer had a trace of the previous flattery, and at this moment, under the reflection of the lights in the tent, the light of wisdom flashed, and he did not answer the question of the general under the tent, but only turned his gaze to the outside of the tent, and after a while, he slowly spoke.
"Eat the king's fortune, bear the king's worries, how do you know that this general's suspension of the march is a violation of military discipline."
Since following Gordon, this general has been amassing money all day long, sinking into beauty, and even making absurd acts of robbing people's women, many generals disdain to be with him, and this upright-looking partial general even secretly played and participated in one of them.
When General Wan was there, he also ordered someone to collect evidence of Gordon's crimes, and then dismissed him and detained him, but in the end, General Gao was not only fine, but even the saint only said "misconduct" and hastily closed the case.
When the generals thought that Gordon was out of the military prison to take revenge on this partial general, Gordon's move was beyond everyone's expectations, not only did he not retaliate against him, but he also transferred this partial general to his own account.
Colleagues persuaded this partial general to beg General Wan to find an idle post first, to avoid the limelight for the time being, not to go to Gordon's tent, so as not to wear small shoes everywhere, but this partial general is a straight character, bluntly said that he is not afraid of Gordon's suppression and retaliation, just thinking about sharing worries for the monarch and protecting the people of Yanbei, and the next day, he packed his bags and went to the patrol army to listen to it. 33
What others didn't expect was that the general had joined Gordon's patrol army, not only had he not been embarrassed at all, but Gordon was also reused for him, and he didn't know what Gordon had done, but he was at peace when he came, as long as he was open-minded, he was not afraid of what tricks this Gordon played.
On weekdays, wherever he is not used to seeing, this partial general will speak out impartially and bluntly, and he has never left a little affection for Gordon, but despite this, Gordon still goes his own way, looks like a bastard, and does not care about the general's cold words and ridicule.
Today, I heard Gordon speak, not in a hurry, but in his heart, he was anxious, and then regardless of the obstruction of his comrades beside him, he clenched his fists and got up.
"General, I'm Qiyun military discipline, together with the beacon fire and wolf smoke, it is a hundred thousand urgent, we Yanbei people, but I am waiting for us to save my life... If the general... Afraid of death, a certain person rides, and rushes to kill the enemy, even if he dies on the spot, he is worthy of his own armor and the patrol guard outside the big tent."
This generous remark made the rest of the generals who were only able to prevent him from speaking ashamed of themselves, perhaps this peaceful life has passed for a long time, as if they have forgotten that protecting the territory and the people is the mission of those of them who are in the army.
They originally wanted to get up and ask for battle with this partial general, but when they thought of General Gao's bastard appearance, they weighed one or two, and still held back the blood in their chests, and for a while the big tent fell silent, only hearing the "thunderclap" sound of the silver wire charcoal fire in the stove.
"Do any of you feel the same way as him?" After a moment of silence, Gordon's small eyes looked at the silent generals on the field, and asked in a deep voice.
The generals raised their heads one after another, and the previous generals, every time they encountered this kind of thing, they either shirked from a serious illness, or pretended to be intimidated to escape, and they could hide, but today it looks different, just like the real commander of the first army, asking the generals under the tent for advice, and the generals looked at each other for a while, as if they only knew this straw bag general with a fat head and big ears today, and they didn't dare to speak at will, for fear of provoking fire.
The fat body slowly got up, Gordon looked solemn, walked down to the position of the main general, looked at the lonely, standing in the tent, fearless generals, his eyes swept over the figures of the generals again, where he looked over, he saw that these generals bowed their heads to avoid their eyes...
"Okay, Xu An stays, you guys retreat first." Gordon spoke, with unquestionable majesty.
When many generals heard this, they got up one after another, and when they retreated quickly, they were secretly glad in their hearts that they didn't have an impulse and stood up.
Seeing that all the generals had retreated, and there was no one else in the big tent, Gao Deng paced to the side of the general, stretched out his arms to hug Xu An, and said with a pair of small eyes: "Xu An, this general transferred you to the tent to listen to it, but he has treated you badly." ”
Xu Anxin is selfless, and fearless, he just wants to go to the beacon tower, these days, whether he refutes him in public, or he participates in private, Gordon has indeed not suppressed himself, even the matter of participating in him before, he has never mentioned it, this time Gordon asked, although he was impatient, but he still opened his mouth to respond: "No." ”
Seeing his impatient appearance, Gordon smiled all over his face, withdrew his arm, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "If General Ben gives you another chance..."
Xu An sneered and clenched his fists and spoke, showing his arrogance.
"General, Xu An is a martial artist, the prancing horse field, the territory and the people, the horse leather shroud, it is fate, comfort can not change my will, gold and silver can not take my bones, if you want to persuade me to be like a general, to be that boneless general, I advise the general not to bother anymore, what means do you want to use, just use it, this kind of gentle method, may be useful to those who are bold, for me, it is useless."
When he finished speaking, Xu An had closed his eyes and waited for death, and did not speak again.
The smile on Gordon's face gradually disappeared, and he looked at Xu An under the tent fixedly, raised his eyes and shouted outside the tent: "Someone." ”
"Yes." Several cross-sword soldiers rushed in from outside the tent in an instant, and the military salute shouted.
Xu An, who closed his eyes, still did not change his face, just waiting for Gordon to order him to take it down, but after waiting for a while, what he heard was another sentence from Gordon.
"Wait until you guard the surroundings of the big tent, and without my order, those who trespass will be killed."
"Yes." The swordsmen took the order and left.
Xu An didn't know what Gordon was planning, but since he had decided, he didn't regret it, and still maintained the posture of waiting for death with his neck stalked, only a moment later, he heard Gordon speak again.
"Brother Xu."
Xu An's straight road is what kind of gentle method Gordon is engaged in, and he still closes his eyes and ignores it.
"Xu An listens to the order!"
Hearing this, Xu Anxin was startled, and hurriedly opened his eyes to look, only to see Gordon holding a scroll in both hands, standing in front of the main general's seat, and a pair of small eyes that were almost invisible were looking at him with majesty.
Looking closely, the scroll was bright yellow, embroidered with gold thread on the five-clawed golden dragon, Xu An knew that although Gordon was a ridiculous bastard, he didn't dare to fake the holy decree, so he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, shouting long live.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, Xu An is loyal to the monarch and loves the people, fulfills his duties, and governs the army in a good way, and he will be promoted to the deputy commander of the patrol army from now on, and he will be here!"
Xu An, who kowtowed to the ground, was stunned, he really didn't understand, how could he be promoted to an official if he was not treated well by a person of his own temperament, who had no backing and was not good at sneaking around and slapping horses.
"Commander Xu, if you still don't accept the order to thank you, do you want to resist the order?" Seeing that this upright man seemed to have forgotten his gratitude, Gordon reminded him softly.
Xu An reacted at this time, and hurriedly kowtowed and shouted: "Minister, Xu An, thank you, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
Until the silky and bright yellow scroll fell into his hand, Xu An still couldn't believe that all this was true, but there was no one else in this big tent, so he had to open his mouth to Gordon with puzzlement: "Gao... My lord, this is... Why. ”
Gordon did not answer, but continued to speak with majesty: "The deputy commander of the patrol army makes Xu An listen to the order!" ”
Xu An reacted quickly this time, and hurriedly kowtowed to the ground.
"The Holy Lord's edict, with Xu An, the deputy commander of the patrol army, from now on, lead the army to help the northern general Gao Deng suppress the bandits, there must be no mistakes, Qin this!"
This command had made Xu An, who was lying on the ground, completely stunned, and murmured: "North... Northern... The general... High... Gordon..."
"Lord Xu, what's the matter..."Of course, Gordon knew that Xu An was shocked by the content of this message, and he didn't blame it, and he had a smile on his face again, and he opened his mouth to remind.
"Minister... Decree of the Minister. ”
Gordon raised his hand to help Xu An solemnly, and when he saw that he was still holding the holy decree in his hand, he was stunned, and said with a smile: "What, Lord Xu, could it be that you were stunned by this pie in the sky." ”
Xu An came back to his senses at this time, and immediately got up and said angrily: "How can this make it, Lord Gao is really elevated, if you want me to search for the people's fat for you, this official doesn't do it, this head doesn't matter..."
Gordon smiled and stretched out his hand to hold Xu An, signaling him to be calm and calm, and slowly spoke: "Why are you so anxious, for the sake of the general, you have to calm down, I know that you can't get used to my past behavior, but if I tell you that those are fake, you may be patient to listen to me." ”
After living for so many years, Xu An only felt that his brain was running out of resources, and said in a daze: "Fake... Fake? ”
Thinking of the people who complained, and the weeping women, he shouted angrily: "Don't come to this, you have been sacred, but you can't be blinded by me, so I will be folded..."
couldn't help but smile bitterly, Gordon really couldn't help the shaft man with this tendon, so he didn't stop it anymore but shouted to the outside of the tent: "Come on, go and call Lao Jin." ”
When the words fell, there were already guards outside the tent, and within a moment, a person got into the tent, knelt down and said: "General Gao called me." ”
Gordon said, "Raise your head and let Commander Xu take a good look at you." ”
When this person heard this, he looked up at Xu An, who was holding his neck on the side.
Xu An was suspicious, looked sideways, and saw that this person had a dark complexion and an ordinary appearance, which was the kind of public face that was thrown into the crowd and could not be recognized.
"You... You're not... On that day..."If it weren't for the careful look back then, where would he have recognized it, but when Xu An looked at this person, he suddenly remembered that he was the one who cried and complained to Gordon about robbing his family's ancestral shop that day, and he didn't find this person in the patrol army.
"Back to Lord Xu's words, the little one was ordered by General Gao, okay... Committing false accusations. When the man spoke, he seemed to be still thinking about what he was still stewing, and turned to Gordon in front of him to continue speaking.
"General Gao, what you like to eat, I have stewed it in the pot, and after a few more incense, you can eat it."
When Gordon heard this, the fat Adam's apple that was almost invisible turned up and down, and his majesty was no longer there, and he smiled greedily: "Then you don't go quickly, stewed over the fire, be careful that Lao Tzu hits your board... By the way, put more spicy seeds for Lao Tzu, on this cold day, if you don't eat some spicy food, how can you bear it. ”
When this man heard this, he hurriedly smiled and saluted.
Looking at Xu An, who was confused, Gordon grinned and said, "Okay, you can always believe this, you don't need to ask for resignation, and you don't need to join me anymore?" ”
"It's... How is this possible, how can this fake blind so many pairs of eyes, just... Even General Wan didn't notice it. ”
Xu An muttered, at this time, Fang Jue's matter is not simple, Gordon has such ability, he can hide the eyes of so many officials in the north, and the eyes of thousands of people... Suddenly, I saw the bright yellow scroll in my hand, and at this moment, no matter how sophisticated the scroll is, I also understand a little.
No wonder there is only one sentence of "misconduct" to hastily close the case, and behind General Gao is the one... Not daring to think about it any longer, Xu An raised his eyes and looked at the general who was looking at him with a smile on his face.
In a fat belly pretending to be a straw bag and a bastard, what kind of open-mindedness can be willing to bear the infamy for so many years...
Xu An's eyes were full of respect.
Some people died, but not completely......
