"Brother Zhong'er, let's make it hard for the senior teacher this time! Yelu Yanxi wants his head......"

"Tai Wei, the official family will not really cut off Gao Tai Wei's head, right?"

was drinking tea in the official pavilion outside Mingtang City, while waiting for Wu Haogu and Zhao Zhongge of Hou Dayushi, discussing the matter of Gao Taiwei's head in a low voice.

When Wu Haogu saw the letters sent by Su Dongpo and Murong Wangwu respectively, he was really a little worried about Gao Yu.

The head should not fall off...... This year's official family is not so ferocious! If it is replaced by his son Zhao Gou, hehe, Gao Taiwei is afraid that he will have to go to the Fengbo Pavilion.

But if the head doesn't fall off, the skin has to be peeled off.

Now it's the history of the servant, and the Hou Meng in the matter! If it weren't for Zhao Ji's edict that was sent to Wu Haogu's army a few days ago, Wu Haogu would really be a little worried about his head - Shi Yushi can carry out the task of arresting officials! Maybe after we meet, we will take out the edict and arrest someone! This time, I don't know if Gao Yu will be arrested and taken to the Yushitai Prison in Kaifeng Mansion?

"Tai Wei, you don't really want to kill Gao Tai Wei, do you?" Brother Zhao Zhong saw that Wu Haogu was silent, and he was also a little nervous for Gao Yu.

He and Gao Yu are also quite familiar, and they usually have a good relationship, but if they really kill someone, they will feel guilty in their hearts.

"No, it's not that serious." Wu Haogu shook his head, "Gao Yu is the confidant of the official family......"

"If it's not a confidant......" Brother Zhao Zhong looked at Wu Haogu.

Wu Haogu thought about it and said with a wry smile: "That's not easy to say!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, He Tianran's voice came from outside the pavilion: "Taiwei, Hou Yushi has arrived!" ”

Wu Haogu's chief master, He Tianran, must have participated in the review of Gao Yu. Wu Haogu had to let him follow him every step of the way, so as not to say something wrong and accidentally harm Gao Yu.

Wu Haogu stood up and said to Brother Zhao Zhong with a smile: "Brother Zhong'er, let's go and welcome Hou Yushi." ”

……

Serving the imperial history, Hou Meng is about fifty years old this year, and he has a good appearance of literary and polite. Gentle and elegant, he looks like a well-educated Confucian with a pure temperament. Compared with him, Wu Haogu, a genuine Confucian, is really more coppery and less elegant - of course, Confucianism and copper are not contradictory. Whether a Confucian is big or not cannot be judged by his personal morality, but by his contribution to Confucianism. In terms of contribution, there is no problem for Wu Haogu to comment on a Confucian sage.

When Wu Haogu was looking at Hou Meng, Hou Meng was also looking at Wu Haogu. Of course, he and Wu Haogu knew each other, but they didn't have much intersection. Because he used to look down on Wu Haogu's person!

When he was in the third year of the establishment of the Yasukuni Kingdom, he once neglected Zhao Jimeng ten things, including "absolute luck", "abstaining from indiscriminate kindness", and "saving money in vain", all of which were more or less related to Wu Haogu.

But this time, Gao Yu and Wu Haogu have made such a great achievement, which is really a bit surprising to Hou Yushi.

However, accidents are accidents, and Hou Meng will not shield Gao Yu because of this...... If he found out during the investigation that Wu Haogu was also involved in the unauthorized provocation, he would still join Wu Haogu's book.

"Hou Yushi has worked hard all the way!" Wu Haogu stood outside the official stop to greet him.

"Doing things for the country is not enough." Hou Meng, who was in the dust, replied with a smile.

The two people in charge of investigating Gao Yu exchanged pleasantries, and then walked hand in hand towards Mingtang City.

The walls of Mingtang Castle are not high, but the surrounding moats are dug deep and wide. The thickness of the walls is staggering, and it looks very strong. Walking into the city gate, Hou Meng also found that a large amount of wood was placed in the open space in the city, and a row of carpentry tents had been erected. A large number of carpenters were busy at work, presumably crafting the equipment for defending the city.

There were no houses in the city, only tents. Wu Haogu's big tent is one of them, and when he entered the big tent, Wu Haogu, who seemed a little anxious, didn't wait for anyone to bring tea, and sat down and asked Hou Meng about investigating Gao Yu's unauthorized provocation.

Hou Meng's voice was not hurried, and his tone was full of the leisure and elegance of a literati and a Confucian scholar, "The battle of tens of thousands of troops should not be enough, and the provocation of about a few hundred people was amplified by the Khitans." Captain Wu, I can't hide such a thing from you, right? ”

Wu Haogu had already studied the tactics that Hou Meng might adopt with He Tianran and He Dazheng - it was impossible to grasp the big ones, and a big battle of 30,000 or 40,000 people could not be made. Now there is no reward for exchanging heads for houses, and hundreds of carts will be used to send out rewards for 20,000 people! Go to the transfer envoy to check the accounts as soon as you know.

"Hou Yushi," Wu Haogu shook his head with a wry smile, "What you said is the same as what the official family said in the edict to so-and-so. But the Khitans really didn't provoke...... In March, they advanced to the Mingtang River, but soon agreed with us to use the grassland between the Mingtang River and the Great Hengshui as a buffer, and then withdrew. Until now, they are very well-behaved, and there is no conflict at all!

If there is really a provocation, we will kill 500 Khitans, and they will not find the field? Does Yushi think the Khitans are so easy to discuss?

Moreover, Gao Taiwei didn't stay in Mingtang River for a few days, so he took 10,000 spear soldiers to Tongwan. If he really provoked, the official would not dare to let him take this 10,000 army! ”

Wu Haogu said that the head was the Tao, but Hou Meng still felt strange.

"Chongdao, you said they went to Mingtang River in March?"

"That's right." Wu Haogu nodded, "I camped on the other side of Mingtang City, and confronted the Three Straight Army led by this official for some days. Later, Gao Shiyan came, went to negotiate with the official, and chose a shoal, which was discussed from seven or eight feet.

There were two people from the Liao side, one was named Xiao Delisi, who was Xiao Delisi's brother and the envoy of the Heqing Army. One is called Xiao Gan, I don't know where it came from? ”

"What are you talking about?"

"Talking about the consciousness of all living beings in the Buddhist family...... Wu Haogu paused, "and talked about how to divide the defense area, and finally said that Mingtang Sichuan East and Dahengshui West were buffered. ”

"That's all?" Hou Meng asked.

"Yes," Wu Hao Gu Dao, "that's all." ”

"Have you ever been in contact with the Khitans since then?"

"No," Wu Haogu shook his head, "I haven't touched it again." ”

Hou Meng smiled and asked, "Chongdao, don't you feel strange?" How could the Khitans get along so well? Are they really willing to watch the thieves perish? ”

"I haven't thought of it yet. When I mention it now, I think it's a little strange. Wu Haogu's voice sank a little, "I'm afraid this matter is a ploy by the Khitans and the Western Thieves, right?" We can play so smoothly this time, all thanks to the high master Yan Shenyong. Now the western thief is afraid of the high like a tiger, if the high master is not transferred. It's only a matter of the past two years...... When the senior division trained the new army strictly, Shuofang's Tuntian also achieved some small success. The day when the Western Thieves will destroy the country is not far off! ”

"Senior Master is training the soldiers?"

Wu Haogu nodded: "That's right, Senior Master Yan is training government soldiers in Tongwan." In addition to the 10,000 people he took from his own officials, another 15,000 people were chosen. Later, another 15,000 men will serve as auxiliaries and cavalry, with a total strength of more than 40,000 and 10 generals. ”

"10 generals, 40,000 troops?" Hou Meng asked, "Can most of the government soldiers do it?" ”

"Why not?" Wu Haogu smiled, "With the officers and generals from the Royal Horse and the Royal Dragon Warrior, how can 40,000 soldiers and horses not be able to hold up?"

When Yushi and the official go to Tongwan City together, they will be able to know Gao Shiyan's ability. ”

Wu Haogu's current strategy is to make himself popular and protect himself from the wind and rain. Jiehe Commercial Market doesn't seem to be as terrible as the tens of thousands of elite soldiers that Gao Yu "brought out", right?

In addition to the 40,000 soldiers, Gao Yu's ally Tong Guan also has a Shuo Fangqiang town in his hands! This Shuofangqiang town not only has the land of the five states of Yin, Xia, You, Yan, and Shuo, but also has the green salt of Yanzhou, the iron affairs of Xiazhou, the horse farm of Shuozhou, and millions of acres of arable land, as well as a Shuofang Yingtian Division that also has a large number of Tuntian soldiers!

In another year or two, the strength of the two of them will be terrible to think about!

……

"Tong Daguan save my ......"

The powerful Gao Yu was scared. As soon as he received the letter from Olga of the Wuhao Ancient Sect, he was so anxious that he was about to cry - the official family sent the Imperial Marquis Meng to investigate him!

said that it was worse than the Khitan's provocation...... But how can there be such a thing? And he stayed in Mingtangchuan for two or three days, during which he met with the Khitans, but the two sides talked very well, and later the Khitans also abided by the gentleman's agreement, patted their butts and left. Then Gao Yu returned to Tongwan City, and there was no border provocation at all!

So Gao Yu soon began to think that it was probably an excuse to provoke the side. And what the officials really want to investigate is probably whether Gao Yu, a general with "tens of thousands of soldiers", is it possible to rebel?

Of course, Tong Guan already knew that the imperial court was going to investigate Gao Yu, he was an internal official, how could he not know?

However, he didn't tell Gao Yu about it...... Now seeing Gao Yu's dejected appearance, his brows suddenly furrowed.

"Shi Yan, could it be that you really started a border provocation? Did your black-armored winger sneak attack a handful of Khitans? ”

"No," Gao Yu shook his head bitterly, "How much ability do I have to choose the front of the black armor, Daofu, you still don't know?" They're still training in Wu Dalang! How could it be possible to beat the armored cavalry of the Khitans? 500 ...... also killed It's simply not possible. ”

"Since you didn't do it, why did you want our family to rescue you?"

Gao Yu walked around in the inner hall of the Tong Guan Capital Office, looking like a hot pot ant, he shook his head and said, "Daofu, you still don't understand? Those tens of thousands of soldiers are afraid of it, I'm afraid it's ......"

"No, it won't." Tong Guan understood what Gao Yu meant, "The official family will not suspect you." He looked at Gao Yu, "Otherwise, our family will take care of you somewhat, and from tomorrow, you will resign from your illness, right?" ”
