I have a backstage in Datang

Yuan Gai Suwen's eyes flashed, he lowered his head and pretended to pour wine to cover up his killing intent.

Chapter 439 [Gu Tianya's subordinates are all human beings]

The night is getting darker, and the banquet is about to break up.

Yuan Gai Suwen seemed to be very drunk, he just lay down on the table and was unable to see off the guests.And Han Si seemed to be equally drunk, and vomited heavily before leaving.

Han Si was carried away by Niu Lao Si, and several other generals of the Protectorate's Mansion also left at the same time.

Yuan Gai Suwen was also held up, but the direction he went was the mansion.

Both the guests seemed to be having a good time at the banquet tonight, otherwise, it would be impossible for all of them to get drunk.

However, everything is an illusion.

……

When Han Si was carried out of the gate and walked crookedly all the way on the street, suddenly the drunkenness on his face disappeared, and his eyes showed vigilance and shrewdness.

Although he was not drunk at all, he still let the old man fight, and said in a low voice: "Brother Niu, thank you for your hard work. Continue to carry me and send me back to my residence..."

After finishing speaking, he followed up and said: "The other brothers also followed, pretending to be worried about me on the surface. After returning to the residence, I have something to talk to everyone about."

Niu Laosi, who was in charge of supporting him, was stunned for a moment, and said in astonishment, "Are you not drunk?"

Han Si let out a mouthful of alcohol, and said in a low voice again: "I almost got drunk, but fortunately I took the drinking pills in advance. Brother Niu, don't ask any more questions, just continue to carry me away..."

Although Niu Laosi is simple and honest, he is not a fool, so he continued to pretend to support, and put on a posture of struggling.

As for the escorting generals, they seemed to have expected this, so they didn't show any surprise, they still staggered as before.

Even when encountering the Marquis Wu's team patrolling the street, they even shouted a few cursing words, scaring those Marquis Wu to go away quickly, but then sent out a special team to protect them.

Drunk, seven or eight generals are all drunk!

……

At the same time, the back residence of Anton's Governor's Mansion.

Yuan Gai Suwen reached for a hot towel, wiped it heavily on his face and neck, and then let out a long breath.

At this moment, there was still a trace of drunkenness in his eyes.

Suddenly he looked at a person in the room, and said in a deep voice: "Han Si was born in the Women's Army, and he was a gangster in the green forest back then. Even though he has learned some city skills from Gu Tianya in the past few years, it is impossible for him to completely become a city man. .So I'm [-]% sure he's really drunk."

The man in the room stood in the shadows, heard the words and said in a low voice: "He was given two catties of spirits, all of which were high-grade wines that had just emerged in Youzhou. This kind of wine is not to mention two catties, half a catty One catty can make a big man lie on the ground. This man just passed out after drinking two catties, he really deserves to be a fierce general from the Women's Army."

Yuan Gai Suwen suddenly sneered, and said with a little disdain: "He is also considered a fierce general? Just a pawn. At the time, the four major lieutenants in the army were the division of the Niangzi Army. It's extraordinary."

He paused while talking, and then said: "As for Han Si, he wasn't even a partial general back then."

The person in the room seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and said in amazement: "He is not even a partial general? Why can he become a retainer of the Gu family?"

Yuan Gai Su Wen let out a breath slowly, and said with emotion: "A person's fate in this life will not be determined by his ability. The reason why Han Si became a retainer of the Gu family is because he was stationed at the post station in Gu's Village. That is When Gu Tianya started his career, Han Si caught up with a good time."

The man in the room seemed to have a clear understanding, but he quickly questioned, saying: "As far as I know, there were 99 postmen in the post station of Gujiacun. Even if Han Si was stationed there, how could he become a retainer? ? You must know that there are only five great ministers in the entire Gu family, but Han Si has become one of them."

These doubts are well-founded, but Yuan Gai Suwen sneered again, and said: "You don't have to worry too much, I can guarantee that this Han Si is definitely not too talented. The reason why he became a retainer is because of Gu Tianya's take care of."

The person in the room became obviously curious, and couldn't help but ask, "Gu Tianya's care? Why do you need to take care of him?"

……

On the silent long street, seven or eight generals staggered along, and finally a large mansion appeared in front of them, and they headed towards the mansion 'intoxicated'.

After entering the courtyard, the door behind him slowly closed, and the next moment, everyone was no longer in a drunken state.

Han Si didn't need Niu Lao Si's support at all. He strode to a stone table in the courtyard, raised his hand and invited: "Everyone, please sit down!"

Several generals nodded solemnly, and each found a stone bench to sit down, but they didn't say a word, waiting quietly for Han Si to speak.

call!

Han Si let out a long breath.

He himself sat down on the stone bench, and the first sentence he spoke was not an order, but a memory: "Once upon a time, I was just a pawn of the Women's Army..."

Several generals still did not say a word, quietly listening to him continue to speak.

Han Si said again: "That year, the four major lieutenants in the army personally checked and selected a total of 99 soldiers, saying that they would be sent to a station to station. And I was one of them."

"In all fairness, I didn't want to at that time. It would be nice to stay in the army. You don't have to worry about eating and drinking every day. But after you go to the post station, I heard that you have to farm to support yourself... That is to say, never From that moment on we had no military pay."

"The military salary is gone, and I need to farm by myself. In addition, it is said that the responsibility of the post station is very heavy. Therefore, everyone is resistant in their hearts."

"We want to stay in the barracks as soldiers, not to go to the post station to be the postman."

When Han Si said this, he let out another long breath, and said: "But, you can't go. The four lieutenants personally checked and selected 20 of us from the 99 army. This must be a big event. 99 of us Who dares to say no?"

"After being selected, I didn't start immediately. Instead, I had to learn to play dumb first, and everyone had to play dumb."

"That's when we found out that the princess has a man. However, due to some inconvenience, the princess has not revealed her identity for the time being."

"And our 99 soldiers are the first batch of men the princess gave her."

"Suddenly, we changed from resistance to anticipation."

"That's the princess's husband. He is the one who wants to grow old with the princess. To be one of his first team members, our ancestors must have accumulated virtue."

When Han Si said this, his face showed the color of happy memories. He exhaled again and continued: "In those days, we practiced pretending to be stupid every day. In fact, there is no need to practice at all, because each of us is human. Jing...whether it is Yan Jiu, who was once a partial general, or me, a low-level pawn, in short, every one of the 99 post soldiers was a shrewd figure to the bone. Otherwise, the four lieutenants would not have come from Choose us among the 20 troops."

"Although we are very shrewd, the four lieutenants are still worried. In other words, the princess is still worried. So, 99 of us practiced for more than ten days. Until everyone practiced themselves stupidly Deng, just set off with General Ma Sanbao."

"We met the princess's man, and he has become his robe and subordinate ever since."

Han Si told his past, his tone seemed inexplicably emotional, and suddenly a warm smile appeared on his face, with deep gratitude in his smile, and said: "Many people don't understand why I can become a retainer of the Gu family. After all, when I was 99 As a postman, I, Han Si, am not one of the outstanding ones... Those old brothers are all good people. And we are all loyal, and there is not much difference between each other. If this is the case, why do I stand out?"

"That's because of the care of the owner."

At this time, a general beside the stone table finally spoke, and said curiously: "I once heard a gossip that you can't leave the barracks for the rest of your life, and once you retire, you will be unknown."

"That's right, that's it!" Han Si nodded without any concealment, and said, "In troubled times, heroes are determined, and if there are no heroes, peace will be enjoyed. This is Yuan Tiangang's comment at the beginning, which means that I will die if I leave the barracks. "

"And on the day when Yuan Tiangang commented, the Patriarch himself made a decision to everyone: Han Si will not be allowed to leave the barracks for the rest of his life."

"In other words, I am destined to be a soldier for the rest of my life."

"Actually, for me, I have already gotten used to life in the army, and being able to be a soldier for a lifetime has nothing to do with it. But the Patriarch thinks that this is unfair to me, so he compensates me."

The generals at the table nodded repeatedly and said, "This compensation is the status of a retainer, right?"

Han Si nodded slowly, and said with emotion: "Yes, retainer. The entire Youyun Gu family has five great ministers in total. I used to be just a pawn, but I was among them because of the care of the patriarch. In my whole life, how can I Disloyal?"

After he finished talking about this part of the past, his face gradually became solemn, and suddenly he looked at the generals, and said in a low voice: "At the banquet tonight, I have a guess. That is, Yuan Gai Suwen has two hearts. .”

Several generals looked at each other, then nodded at the same time, and said: "If you are not of my race, your heart must be different. Yuan Gai Su Wen was once the first official of Goguryeo, and the reason why he surrendered was because he could not resist the general panic. But secretly, there may indeed be ambiguity."

Even the most simple and honest Niu Laosi couldn't help saying at this time, "Although I'm not smart enough, I'm not a fool. Yuan Gai Suwen is the governor of the Anton Governor's Mansion. It is enough to take charge of government affairs. However, every time we find rebels, he, the governor, will participate in the pursuit...not only personally participate in the pursuit, but also use most of the private soldiers from the Yuangai family."

Niu Laosi scratched his forehead as he spoke, as if puzzled and as if he had figured something out, and continued: "No wonder the rebels can't be strangled, I seem to understand now."

Han Si took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "The owner once said that this is called raising the bandit's self-esteem. The reason why Yuan Gai Suwen was appointed as the governor of Andong's Protectorate was to use his reputation in Goguryeo to appease Recruiting people. After Goguryeo is completely under control, his position as governor will definitely be replaced...Yuan Gai Suwen is worthy of being a hero, he obviously guessed the intention of the Patriarch, so he raised the bandits to be self-respecting."

At this time, a general spoke slowly, thinking in his words: "Maybe it's not because of raising the bandit's self-esteem, but because this person never intended to be loyal from the beginning. The reason why he surrendered to us was because he couldn't resist the general trend. But deep in his heart I am afraid that I have always thought about returning to the country."

Han Si glanced at him, nodded and said, "The Patriarch also speculates in the same way."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly stood up from the stone bench and said in a deep voice, "Everyone listen to the order."

Boom a few times.

The generals all rose.

Han Si looked serious, and ordered: "Now, as a retainer of the Gu family, I will forcibly change the powers and responsibilities of the Andong Dufu. On the surface, Yuan Gai Suwen is still the governor, but secretly, the government affairs of each city and government It's all up to me..."

He paused while talking, and then said solemnly: "Especially when it involves the transfer of troops and horses, and the purchase of military supplies. Even if it is a small grain of grain, its whereabouts must be reported... We will not hinder Yuan Gaisu for the time being." Wen’s general command, but we have to grasp the content of every government document. Once something is found to be inappropriate, we will immediately turn our face and be ruthless, and we must not give him any chance, let alone give those rebels a chance.”

"No!" Several generals responded in unison.

After receiving the order, one person frowned slightly and said hesitantly: "Goguryeo has been brought down for more than half a year, and Yuangai Suwen has been performing very well. Even if there are occasional decrees that are slightly abnormal, but carefully Thinking about it, it seems reasonable...Obviously, this person is deep in the city and will not show his feet easily. Under such circumstances, it may not be easy to catch him."

Han Si raised his hand to signal everyone to sit down, and said with a smile: "So, the Patriarch sent Mrs. Jin."

"Knock the mountain to shake the tiger?" The general's eyes lit up.

Han Si shook his head with a smile, and said: "It's not knocking the mountain to shake the tiger, but to keep nuisance. The owner told me that once knocking the mountain to shake the tiger is not used well, it is easy for the tiger to be vigilant and put away his minions. But constant nuisance is different. One trick can annoy a tiger enough. When it gets too annoyed, it might just stretch out its paws on a whim.”

The generals were all human beings, and they said thoughtfully: "Understood, this is because of the severity of the threat. Mrs. Jin is a woman, and the tricks she uses are unruly and willful. The methods of the Goguryeo people have teased Yuan Gai Suwen’s patience time and time again, but Yuan Gai Suwen will not be vigilant, he will only think that this is the wanton behavior of Mrs. Jin after she got favor.”

Han Si smiled slightly and said: "Besides that, there is me. As we all know, I became a retainer not because of my talent. There are even some jealous people who say that I am an idiot with a rich life."

Han Si paused while talking, then smiled and said: "It is precisely because of my mediocre reputation that I will not arouse vigilance. One of the five dignified ministers was sent by the patriarch to an outer room as a guard. It was just a trick , can make many people look down on me."

Several generals present looked at each other, suddenly they all laughed wryly, and said with embarrassment: "It's not just looking down on you, it's simply contempt. People like us laughed at you in our hearts a few days ago. As a retainer of the Gu family , to get mixed up in such a field."

"Hahahaha!"

Han Si laughed heartily, with no displeasure on his face, but he said with satisfaction: "Even if you can fool your own people, you must be able to fool people outside too. Ladies and gentlemen, let's continue."

Several generals saluted.

At this time, seeing Han Si reaching into his arms, he solemnly took out a shiny card and said solemnly: "Everyone, I want to communicate with the Patriarch remotely. Come forward together, let's listen to the latest order from the Patriarch."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they looked at the little card eagerly, and said in surprise and joy: "Is this the legendary points exchange card? It is said that it is a fairy weapon forged by the exile."

Han Si showed admiration on his face, nodded and said: "Yes, it is an immortal artifact. Our Youyun Gu family has exiled immortals in our family... And this immortal artifact card can communicate thousands of miles away."

The generals were full of longing, their eyes were extremely hot, and they sighed repeatedly: "When will I be able to accumulate enough merits!"

They also want to have this fairy artifact.

Chapter 440 [Although the population is important, it cannot become a cancer]

, I have a background in Datang

A faint light flashed on the card, and a line of small but clear words appeared.

Han Si's spirit was shaken, and he said quickly: "The Patriarch's order has been transmitted."

The generals were surprised and amazed, subconsciously they all leaned over.

After reading it, everyone thought about it.

Gu Tianya's order was very simple, only a few dozen words: "Pretend to be unhappy, full of grievances, unbearable, fall apart."

Other than that, there is no content.

Han Sizhen took back the small card seriously, looked at everyone and said: "Everyone, this is what we will do next."

Several generals looked at each other, and said hesitantly: "There is an order, and we must obey it, but I am a little puzzled, and I don't know who the target is."

He hesitated again as he spoke, and said a little confused: "If you look at it literally, it should be that we are directed to target Yuan Gai Suwen. However, after careful consideration, it seems that we are directed to target Mrs. Jin. The order of the Patriarch , it’s a bit vague.”

Han Si let out a breath slowly, and said with great confidence: "I don't think this order is ambiguous. The reason why the Patriarch didn't say it clearly is to exercise your talents."

……

In the city of Youzhou, the back residence of the Gu family.

Gu Tianya took back the small card with a smile, handed it to Zhao Ning and said, "Put it away, I probably won't need it in a short time."

Zhao Ning carefully put away the card, with a hint of worry on his face, and said: "The order you just gave was a bit vague. This way of giving orders is a taboo in the army, and it is easy for the generals under his command to do it. Misjudged."

Gu Tianya nodded and said, "That's true, but I did it on purpose."

Zhaoning was slightly startled, frowned and said, "Tell me the reason."

Gu Tianya exhaled lightly, and said: "As we all know, our Gu family has five great ministers. After years of honing, each of them can be independent. But in addition to these five great ministers, our family also has twelve newly-accepted inferiors. Retainers need training."

Zhaoning couldn't help but nodded, and said thoughtfully: "These twelve inferior retainers all rose up in the Goguryeo War. Some of them were originally generals in the army, and some were from civilian backgrounds. Fubing. Although he was promoted because of his meritorious service, his abilities vary."

"So, you need to sharpen it more." Gu Tianya's face was a little solemn.

He held Zhaoning's hand, and the husband and wife paced slowly in the yard, and continued: "These twelve newly recruited retainers were all placed in Goguryeo by me. The general guard...maybe their rank is not too high, but they are really the officials of the frontier."

"The loyalty of these twelve people must be fine!"

"But their talents still need to be cultivated!"

"Therefore, I gave them a vague order."

Zhao Ning took over the quarrel, his tone still worried, and said, "Aren't you afraid that they will misunderstand and cause the whole plan to fail?"

Gu Tianya shook his head slightly, and said to himself: "Don't worry, this situation will not happen. These people can stand out in the war, not only because of their bravery in combat. If they don't have a natural shrewdness, how can they be qualified to be ours? The retainers of the family."
