Chapter 772 Gao Qiu wronged thirteen
(The military system in the previous chapter has been modified. The team and fire levels have adopted the 44th organization, and the team or above are still 33rd organization)
"Brother Zhong, we will make Gao Shiyan suffer this time! Yelu Yanxi wants his head..."
"Taiwei, won't the official really chop off Taiwei Gao's head?"
While drinking tea in the eaves office outside Mingtang City, Wu Haogu, who was waiting for the Censor Hou Da Censor, and Brother Zhao Zhong, whispered to discuss the matter about Gao Taiwei's head.
When Wu Haogu saw the letters sent by Su Dongpo and Murong Wangyou (Murrong Wangyou wrote about Yelu Yanxi's desire to kill Gao Qiu), he was really worried about Gao Qiu.
My head shouldn't fall off... This government is not that cruel yet! If it were his son Zhao Gou, haha, Taiwei Gao would probably have gone to Fengboting for a walk.
But if your head doesn't fall off, your skin will be peeled off.
The one who came now is the Attorney Censor, the minister Hou Meng! If Zhao Ji's hand edict was not taken by Zouma a few days ago and sent it to Wuhaogu's army, Wuhaogu was really worried that his head would be able to carry out the task of arresting officials! Maybe after meeting, he would take out the edict to arrest people! I don't know if Gao Qiu would be arrested this time in the Censor Prison in Kaifeng Prefecture?
"Taiwei, don't you really want to kill Taiwei Gao?" Brother Zhao Zhong was a little nervous when he saw Wu Haogu without saying anything.
He and Gao Qiu are also quite familiar with each other. They usually have a good relationship. If they really kill others, they will feel guilty.
"No, it's not that serious." Wu Haogu shook his head, "Gao Qiu is the official's confidant..."
"If it weren't for the confidant..." Brother Zhao Zhong looked at Wu Haogu.
Wu Haogu thought about it and smiled bitterly, "That's hard to say!"
As soon as he finished speaking, He Tianran's voice came from outside the pavilion: "Taiwei, the Censor Hou has arrived!"
Wu Haogu's chief lawyer He Tianran must be involved in the review of Gao Qiu. Wu Haogu must let him follow him in an endless manner, so as not to say something wrong and accidentally harm Gao Qiu.
Wu Haogu stood up and smiled and said to Brother Zhao Zhong, "Brother Zhong, let's go and welcome the Censor Hou."
...
The attendant censor, Hou Meng, is about fifty years old and has a kind and kind appearance. He is gentle and elegant, and looks like a kind scholar with a pure temperament. Compared with him, Wu Haogu, a genuine great scholar, is really more stinky and less elegant. Of course, great scholars and copper stinky are not contradictory. Whether a Confucian is big or not cannot be judged by his personal virtue, but depends on his contribution to Confucianism. In terms of contribution, there is no problem in Wu Haogu's sage to evaluate a Confucian saint.
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 did not have much interaction. Because he used to look down on Wu Haogu's personality!
During the third year of Jianzhong Jingguo, he once wrote to Zhao Ji about ten things, including "extreme hope", "refrain from being abusive" and "reluctant to spend money", which are more or less related to Wu Haogu.
But this time, Gao Qiu and Wu Haogu made such great contributions, which really surprised Yushi Hou.
However, if the accident is unexpected, Hou Meng will not hide Gao Qiu because of this... If he found out during the investigation that Wu Haogu was also involved in the border quarrels, he would still participate in the first book of Wu Haogu.
"Thank you all the way to the imperial censor Hou!" Wu Haogu stood there and greeted the officials.
"It's not enough to do anything for the country." Hou Meng replied with a smile.
The two people in charge of investigating Gao Qiu exchanged greetings and walked hand in hand toward Mingtang City.
The walls of Mingtang City are not high, but the surrounding trenches are dug deep and wide. The thickness of the walls is amazing and look very strong. When you walk into the city gate, Hou Meng also found that there were a lot of wood placed on the open space in the city and a row of carpenters were built. A large number of carpenters were busy working, probably creating equipment to guard the city.
There are no houses in the city, only tents. Wu Haogu’s big tent is one of them. After entering the big tent, Wu Haogu, who seemed a little anxious, did not wait for anyone to serve tea. He sat down and asked Hou Meng about investigating Gao Qiu’s unscrupulous border provocation.
Hou Meng spoke without hesitation, and his tone was full of leisure and elegance as a scholar. "The battle between tens of thousands of troops should not be as good as a provocation of about a few hundred people, and was magnified by the Khitans. Wu Taiwei, can you hide such a thing?"
Wu Haogu had long studied the tactics that Hou Meng might have adopted. It is impossible to catch the big one. A battle of 30,000 to 40,000 people cannot be made up. Now there is no reward for changing the house. If you send 20,000 people to send out the reward, you have to use hundreds of big trucks! You will know when you go to the Transportation Office to check the accounts.
"Civil Secretary Hou," Wu Haogu shook his head with a wry smile, "What you said is the same as what the official issued to someone. But the Khitans really did not provoke... In March, they advanced to Mingtang River, but soon agreed with us to use the grassland between the Daheng River and the Hengshui River as a buffer, and then withdrew. Until now, they are very regular and have no conflict at all!
If we really start a provocation, we will kill 500 Khitans, and they will not find the situation back? Does the Censor think the Khitans are so easy to discuss?
Moreover, Taiwei Gao didn't stay in Mingtangchuan for a few days, so he brought 10,000 spear soldiers to Tongwan. If he really started a provocation, I would not dare to let him take these 10,000 troops!"
Wu Haogu was very wise, but Hou Meng still felt something was strange.
"Chongdao, do you think they had been to Mingtangchuan in March?"
"Yes." Wu Haogu nodded, "He camped on the other side of Mingtang City and confronted the Sanzhi Army led by my official for some time. Later, Gao Shiyan came and went to negotiate with me, chose a shallow, and negotiated seven or eight feet apart.
Two people came from the Liao Kingdom, one was named Xiao Delis, who was Xiao Delis' brother, the governor of Heqing Army, and the other was named Xiao Gan. I wonder where he came from?"
"What's the final talk?"
"I talked about the "Personal Theory" and the Buddhist consciousness of sentient beings..." Wu Haogu paused, "I also talked about how to divide the defense zones. Finally, I agreed to use Mingtang River east and Daheng River west as the buffer."
"That's all?" Hou Meng asked.
"Yes," Wu Hao Gudao, "that's all."
"Have you ever contacted the Khitans since then?"
"No," Wu Haogu shook his head, "I haven't contacted him again."
Hou Meng asked with a smile: "Chongdao, don't you think it's strange? Why are the Khitans so easy to meet? Are they really willing to watch the demise of the Western thieves?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. When the censor mentioned it now, I think it's a bit strange." Wu Haogu's voice sank a little, "This matter is probably the strategy of the Khitans and the Western thieves? We can fight so smoothly this time, all depends on the courage of Gao Shiyan. Now the Western thieves are afraid of Gao Shiyan. If Gao Shiyan is not transferred away, it will only take the resurgence of Lingxia in the past two years... After Gao Shiyan has trained the new army, Shuofang's military farming will be a small success. The day when the Western thieves destroy the country is not far away!"
"Gao Shiyan is training troops?"
Wu Haogu nodded: "Yes, Gao Shiyan is in charge of ten thousand training troops. In addition to the 10,000 people he took away from his official position, he also selected 15,000 people. Later, there will be another 15,000 people to serve as auxiliary soldiers and cavalry, with a total force of more than 40,000, and 10 generals are prepared to be organized."
"10 generals, 40,000 troops?" Hou Meng asked, "Can most of them be soldiers of the government do it?"
"Why can't it be?" Wu Haogu smiled, "How can a 40,000-strong army officer with Yumazhi and Yulong Mengshi, how can't the 40,000 troops be supported?
Once the censor and his official go to Tongwancheng together, you will know Gao Shiyan’s ability.”
Wu Haogu’s current strategy is to make Gao Qiu famous and shelter him from the wind and rain. It seems that there are no terrible tens of thousands of elite soldiers who Gao Qiu “brought out”?
In addition to the 40,000 soldiers in the palace, Gao Qiu's ally Tong Guan also has a Shuofang strong town! This Shuofang strong town not only has land in five states including Yin, Xia, You, Yan, Shuo, etc., but also has Qingyan in Yanzhou, the railway affairs in Xiazhou, Shuozhou horse farms, millions of arable land, and a Shuofang Yingtiansi, which also has a large number of military farms!
In another year or two, the strength of the two of them will be terrible to think about it!
...
"Official Tong saves me..."
The powerful Gao Qiu was scared. As soon as he received a letter from Wu Haogu sent Oliga, he was so anxious that he almost cried out. The official sent the censor Hou Menglai Shuofang to investigate him!
He said he was the one who had no choice but to start a border quarrel with the Khitan... But how could this happen? Moreover, he stayed in Mingtangchuan for two or three days. During this period, although he met the Khitans, the two sides had a good talk. Later, the Khitans also abide by the gentleman's agreement, patted their butts and left. Then Gao Qiu returned to Tongwancheng, and there was no border quarrel at all!
So Gao Qiu quickly began to think about it, and it was probably an excuse to launch a border quarrel. What the government really wants to investigate is probably whether Gao Qiu, a general who has "ten thousand troops" has the possibility of rebellion?
Of course, Tong Guan had known that the court had been investigating Gao Qiu for a long time. He was an internal official, how could he not know?
However, he did not tell Gao Qiu about this... Now when he saw Gao Qiu looking in a daze, his brows frowned.
"Shi Yan, could you really start a border quarrel? Did your black armored forward cavalry attack a Khitan?"
"It's nothing," Gao Qiu shook his head in pain, "How many skills do I have in my black armored front-strike rider? Dover don't know? They are still training in Wu Dalang! How could they beat the Khitan armored rider? They even killed 500... This is simply impossible."
"Since it's not yours, why do you want our family to rescue you?"
Gao Qiu was walking around in the inner hall of Tong Guandu Office, looking a little hot pot ant. He shook his head and said, "Doom, don't you understand? Those tens of thousands of soldiers in the palace are afraid of it, afraid of it..."
