He Luguang led the army to surrender, Gu Zuo was overjoyed, but he didn't see Li Mi, the fruits of the victory in the battle of Mengle Mountain seemed to have been eaten by someone, which was really unpleasant, and it also made the war appear a huge variable.

Gu Zuo interrogated He Luguang, but He Luguang didn't say a word, just bowed his head and waited for death, interrogating the rest of Jin Dan and important positions in the army, but he only knew that Li Mi was leaving with one of them when he was stationed in Quyi, and no one knew where he went.

The original governor said: "The inventory has come out, the Yizhou army claimed to be 30,000 when it went out, but there were 8,000 soldiers and more than 7,000 people, and more than 10,200 were captured in this battle, and more than 1,500 corpses were killed in the valley, which was about 3,000 to 3,500 less. ”

Gu Zuo nodded: "This should be the number of Li Mi's subordinates, where did these people go, and what way do they plan to march from Qingcheng Zhao or Luofu Zhao? Which way to go? The stakes are very high, continue to interrogate them one by one!"

Cheng Shanhu said on the side: "Use torture, I don't believe He Luguang doesn't spit out!"

The butcher also suggested: "Compared with the war, a He Luguang is insignificant, use torture." ”

Gu Zuo thought for a while and said, "Start with a few important positions in the Yizhou Army, if you still can't ask, then do it to He Luguang, alas......"

Once He Luguang is tortured, it means that the possibility of recruiting He Luguang in the future will become infinitely smaller, He Luguang is different from Gu You, a monk in the late stage of foundation building, he is a Yuan Baby, a Yuan Ying monk who has been tortured severely, who dares to use it with confidence?

After all, this is a yuan baby, if you don't dare to use it, you can only kill it, Gu Zuo feels a pity.

He came to the camp where He Luguang was held again, and said to He Luguang: "General He, you should actually know it yourself! ”

He Luguang didn't say a word, didn't even look at Gu Zuo, just poured himself a drink from the wine jug Gu Zuo gave him.

Gu Zuo said in a low voice: "General He, I really don't want to kill you, but the military situation is urgent...... As long as you say it, I can promise not to kill Li Mi......"

He Luguang drank another glass of wine, and finally raised his head: "Gu Changshi, thank you for your hospitality, this wine is good, is it Pingtai Spirit Liquid, or Hanshan Spirit Wine?" If you can afford He, bring me another pot." ”

Gu Zuo was silent for a while, ordered the sergeant to serve wine, and turned around and went out.

Summoning everyone to discuss, Gu Zuo said: "He Luguang has the will to die, what can he do about it? Is there any result of interrogating others?"

Everyone shook their heads, and the butcher said, "It seems that only He Luguang knows about such secrets." ”

Cheng Shanhu said: "Give me He Luguang, I will torture him, and beat him so much that he doesn't even recognize him, see if he can recruit or not!"

The butcher shook his head: "Even if it is tortured, I'm afraid it will be difficult." ”

Gu Zuo hesitated and looked at Liu Xuanji, and Liu Xuanji made a bold suggestion: "Escort the general of the Yizhou Army Jin Dan to He Luguang, ask a question, and if you don't answer, you will be killed." ”

When everyone heard this, they felt a chill blowing on their necks, and it was cold.

Although they felt that this strategy was quite vicious, everyone thought that if they handled it like this, they might really be able to ask for a clue, but no one dared to openly support this proposal, they all closed their mouths, their eyes glanced around, neither looked at Liu Xuanji, nor looked at Gu Zuo, as if they hadn't heard anything, didn't know anything, and just waited for Gu Zuo to decide.

If you don't accept this proposal, it is likely to lead to unfavorable wars, and if you accept this proposal, it will hurt the peace of the heavens, and it is really a dilemma!

Just when Gu Zuo was about to grit his teeth and make a decision, a sergeant suddenly came to report, saying that a classmate of Changshi, a monk named Lu Qiao, asked to see him, and pointed out that he only saw Gu Zuo alone.

At this time, it was really not the time to meet guests, Gu Zuo was about to let someone entertain Lu Qiao to wait in the camp elsewhere, and Cheng Shanhu said happily on the side: "Brother Lu is afraid that he is here to report the military situation." ”

"What military intelligence?"

"I'm afraid it's Li Mi's whereabouts. ”

"Can he know?"

"He is the young master of Qingzhi Mountain. ”

Qingzhi Mountain is a major local sect of Luofu Zhao, and the relationship between the Luofu faction is similar to the previous Pingtai Mountain Villa to Huaixian Pavilion, so if Li Mi really bypassed Luofu Zhao, Lu Qiao is likely to know.

When Gu Zuo heard this, he hurriedly said, "I'll go to the gate to greet me!"

As he walked out, he asked Cheng Shanhu: "He is the young master of Qingzhi Mountain? How do you know? Why don't I know?"

At that time, Lishui sent the three ladies to sweep the green, and Lu Qiao was also the one who was swept away, and the original Taoist and Chengshanhu formed a friendship with classmates, and when Gu Zuo was bidding for the most money-hungry in Nanwu Prefecture, he generously donated money and helped him, and also got the shares of the Lingshi vein of Nanwu Mountain.

Later, Gu Zuo bought a large amount of grain from Sanhe Grain Shop, and Wang Sanhe also gave Gu Zuo strong support for Lu Qiao's affection.

But to be honest, Gu Zuozhen didn't have an in-depth understanding of Lu Qiao, and he didn't know his details, he only knew that he was the son of a big family in Luofu, but he didn't expect that he was the young master of Qingzhi Mountain.

Cheng Shanhu rolled his eyes: "Pavilion master, you have a high status now, and there are many things, so it's normal not to know." ”

Gu Zuoran: "Lao Cheng's advice is good, I floated away from the masses...... Brethren, ashamed, ashamed...... Okay, Lao Cheng, you go back to the big tent first, let everyone don't go, and wait for my news. ”

While speaking, he saw Lu Qiao waiting at the gate from a distance, and hurriedly greeted him.

Lu Qiao was still very happy that Gu Zuo came out to greet him, but he didn't have time to reminisce at the moment, so he told at the camp gate: "Li Mi led the troops into the Moshan Trail, and the target may be the Qianglang River." ”

As soon as he heard this, Gu Zuo's eyelids jumped, if Li Mi crossed the Qianglang River, Montenegro County would be in danger!

"Where have you been?"

"The Moshan trail is indeed hidden, but it is also difficult to walk, he is still trapped in the mountain, and he has not walked out, and it is estimated that there are still sixty or seventy miles away from the Qianglang River, a day's road. No, if he marches overnight, he will be able to come out tomorrow afternoon. ”

Gu Zuo was a little anxious, if Li Mi really crossed the Qianglang River early tomorrow, he would be able to come to the county town of Montenegro in half a day. The elites of the four divisions of Montenegro are all in Mengle Mountain, like an empty city. And the army of Southern Wuzhou will fight back at Qianglangchuan in three days at the earliest, but how is this good?

But no matter what, Lu Qiao was able to rush over to report the news, which showed the brotherly love, so he arched his hand and said: "Old Lu, thank you for your great kindness!"

Lu Qiao waved his hand: "What I said is outside." How is Brother Gu going to deal with it?"

Gu Zuo said: "I immediately ordered, and the army will fight back against Montenegrin County." But I was afraid that it would be too late, so I prepared to take Brother Jindan as the vanguard, and led a group of brothers who had built the foundation to retreat to the county town of Montenegro overnight, first mobilizing the large array to protect the city, and then mobilizing the monks in the city to defend the city, so as not to let Li Mi's treacherous plan succeed. ”

Lu Qiao said: "Even if he guards Profit City, Li Mi has also run away." ”

Gu Zuo said tentatively: "Lao Lu, can you send a message to a few elders of the Luofu Sect, don't let Li Mi cross the border smoothly?"
