Rebel

When the two arrived in the city defense army, a school lieutenant immediately came out to greet them: "The King of Han!"

Gu Ao raised his eyes, and saw that the school lieutenant was one of the sons of aristocratic families who came to Hanzhong after the order of recruiting talents was issued. Gu Ao nodded as a salute, and said: "When I just came up from the urn city, I saw the northeast corner of the city wall over there. The damaged place has not been repaired, what's going on?"

The school captain took a step forward, followed Gu Ao's footsteps, and said: "That gap was left when Tie Futu defeated Zuo Xianwang. It was originally repaired halfway, and then encountered a surprise attack by the Thirteen Departments, so I didn't have time to fill it up." Come on. These days, those who treat the wounded are treating the wounded, those who are repairing the camp are repairing the camp, and those who recruit recruits are recruiting recruits, so the matter of mending the gap has been delayed."

Gu Ao said: "Chen Shuo should take care of this matter, what about others?"

The captain said: "The governor sent him outside the city to repair the camp. The main reason is that there are too many injured officers and soldiers in the camp, and there are few people in charge of the overall situation. The camp is also a barrier for Yuyang, so it is very confidential. The prefect of the county will focus on the side of the camp."

Gu Ao thought for a while and said, "Chen Jiang mentioned this to me."

Walking along the horse path in the city, I saw all the people coming and going in the army performing their duties, either in a hurry or nervously.Perhaps it was the new victories of thirteen units, and another round of meritorious deeds and rewards, so although the loss was huge this time, the atmosphere in the army was still dignified but vigorous.

Gu Ao asked the captain next to him as if chatting, "How long has it been since you joined the rebel army?"

The captain said: "It has been one year and three months since I reported to the King of Han."

"Don't be so restrained, talk as you walk." As he spoke, Gu Ao came to one of the battlements, looked at the dense array of soldiers above and below the city, and said, "Listen to the accent, are you from the south? Are you still used to it in the north? "

The captain gave a wry smile with some embarrassment, and said, "At first, I wasn't very used to the scenery of the Northland, but now I'm fine."

Gu Ao heard the words and said with a smile: "I heard that when you first came, there were a lot of dissatisfaction, Mr. Liao even came here to persuade you, is there such a thing?"

The school lieutenant scratched his head and said: "...Actually, those things at the beginning seem to be irrelevant now. It will be enough to fight a war. Naturally, I won't think about it...What kind of food is not good, what is not wearing well? Well, if the position is not satisfactory, after the battle, you will know how much you are worth, and you will know that the people's livelihood is difficult."

Gu Ao went to the top of the city tower, looked down, nodded and said: "Yes, in fact, you can tell at a glance that the people in the Northland are suffering... I used to study in Shanyun Academy, and the rich men around me were usually 'leisure' There are thousands of worries', 'no words to complain about Dongfeng', when there is nothing to do, Dongfeng will write poems to complain. When you come to this northern place, you will know that you are just writing new words and expressing sorrow. Since you have joined the rebel army, Wan Don't get into this habit anymore, when I came up just now, it was very rare to see you helping the soldiers to carry the horse fodder."

The captain said modestly: "...It's nothing, General Gu sent a document before."

Gu Ao asked, "Oh? What documents?"

The captain said: "It's a document to tell the whole army. General Gu said in the document that it is best to do it yourself, and you must not be lazy; when you see a terrain, you must walk it yourself, and you must not let the scouts report it; one As an officer, when you arrive at the camp, you eat meat and wine, don’t even look at the surrounding terrain and weather, and sleep with your head covered. This battle will definitely not be won. In short, it is a warning to officers from aristocratic families not to be lazy.”

Gu Ao laughed and said, "He is a rough man, he speaks foul words."

The school captain said: "Although it is a rough word, it is not unreasonable. General Gu is also a general based on his military exploits. He must have his reasons for saying so."

Gu Ao said with emotion: "It's good that you think so. It would be great if the family can think so."

The captain said: "...Actually, even if you don't think so, after these few battles, you will be convinced and think so."

Gu Ao nodded with a smile.

Together with Yu Junfan, they walked down the city tower, passed through the city gate, and came outside the city. The two of them got on a horse and ran towards the camp outside the city.Gu Ao stopped and walked, often dismounted by the side of the road, and went into the army to inquire about the situation. Yu Junfan followed Gu Ao all the time.When it was nearly night, the two of them were already covered with dust, and they came to the camp in a hurry.Upon hearing the news, Liao Qinghui greeted him and said, "King of Han, Governor Yu, are you here?"

Gu Ao handed the horsewhip to the soldiers accompanying him, walked towards the camp together with Liao Qinghui, said: "How are these few days?"

Liao Qinghui said: "There are still too many wounded soldiers. There is a shortage of medicines and doctors. There are also a lot of losses in weapons and armor. There is basically nothing left of the Tiefutu."

Gu Ao said: "The plank road in Hanzhong has been repaired, and the medicine and medicine will be delivered soon. The key is that the training must not be slack."

Liao Qinghui said: "Yes, some recruits have joined the army these days and are also stepping up their training. Yesterday, a batch of newly cast swords were transported from the city, and they were all distributed. Now there are still few war horses, only less than [-] horses left. Yesterday, the people from Liu Zhishan took them to graze for us. There are [-] other injured horses, and they are all free-range, and they are going to add some meat to the soldiers' meals."

Gu Ao said: "Newly trained soldiers, let's practice and see."

Liao Qinghui said: "Now the camp is lighting a fire to cook food, should we let them gather now, or..."

Yu Junfan smiled and said to Gu Ao: "Why don't you eat first? Don't be in a hurry." Then Yu Junfan said to Liao Qinghui: "General Liao, the King of Han and I haven't eaten yet, why don't we go to the camp? us together?"

Liao Qinghui looked at Gu Ao, Gu Ao nodded, "Then watch after dinner."

Liao Qinghui smiled, looked at Yu Junfan again, and said, "Okay."

----

During the meal, Gu Ao, Yu Junfan and Liao Qinghui drank and ate with the soldiers.

During the meal, Gu Ao looked at one fire stove after another not far away, turned his head and asked Liao Qinghui: "How is the morale of the army now, what do you think?"

Liao Qinghui was stunned for a moment, seeing that Liao Qinghui didn't speak, Gu Ao said again: "When the war broke out earlier, several eyeliners that the Regent placed in the rebel army were wiped out in one fell swoop. How does the aristocratic family react?"

Only then did Liao Qinghui nod his head in understanding, thought for a while, and said: "...Some are angry, guilty, and angry, but there is no complaint."

Gu Ao looked into Liao Qinghui's eyes: "...even if there is, it's not surprising, is it true?"

Liao Qinghui said: "Some of them were all executed for the crime of collaborating with the enemy, and they went directly to the military law."

Gu Ao nodded, he personally reviewed the list of beheads.

"That's good."

After the meal, the three of them watched the recruit drill together, Gu Ao said: "This level is not enough, we need to step up training."

Liao Qinghui said: "Many officers died in this battle. The old Shichang died in battle, the corporal commander replaced Shichang, the old Baichang died in battle, and the Shichang replaced the centurion... The Baichang replaced the school lieutenant. The school lieutenant has become the commander of the military... Everyone has a lot of things they didn't know before, and now they can only learn to do it, so slow down."

Gu Ao said: "In the past, Gu Qian made a report to the army in the garrison army, and made his own experience as a general public. Since everyone has something they don't understand, it is better to tell the best military commander, The school lieutenants and military commanders all called out, and each of them wrote down how he became a hundred commander, school lieutenant, and military commander. Those who can’t write should be written down, and after they are written, the chiefs of staff will distribute them to everyone for reading.”

Liao Qinghui said: "Yes, I'll do it now."

That night, Gu Ao and Yu Junfan took advantage of the moonlight to leave the camp and headed back to Yuyang City. Yu Junfan rode on the horse and thought of something and said: "Mr. Liao is much quieter."

Seeing that Gu Ao didn't speak, Yu Junfan said again: "He personally killed the son of the family he recommended, and the others, although he didn't kill them with his own hands, also died in his hands."

Gu Ao said: "Qinghui is doing justice for the overall situation, and he is doing the right thing. People have to grow up."

Yu Junfan glanced at Gu Ao and said, "You seem very happy?"

A smile appeared on Gu Ao's face: "The first time I met him was in Hejian County. At that time, he was still ignorant and didn't know anything. He wanted me to be his wife. Now I have no relationship with him. The name of teacher and student, but I can teach him everything I can teach him."

Yu Junfan said: "...So that's how it is."

The two of them didn't speak any more, dust flew up behind the horse's hooves, Yu Junfan looked at Gu Ao's silhouette under the moon, at that moment, he suddenly felt that he was worrying about gains and losses, and he obviously wouldn't be like this before... What happened? What?Unknowingly approaching Gu Ao, Gu Ao just asked: "...what's the matter?" Yu Junfan grabbed Gu Ao's neckline and kissed him sideways.

The kiss touched for a moment as the two horses approached, but then loosened because the two horses separated.

"...Jun Fan?" Gu Ao looked over.Yu Junfan smiled in a concealed manner.
