After dressing as a widow

"Destroy the refugee army?" The commander asked Lu inspector and Gu Lin to stand up, "The combined number of people under the three inspectors in your Anyuan town is less than [-], and the gang came from Fucheng The refugee army is at least one thousand and seventy-eight, are you trying to trick me into thinking that I am someone who only gets paid for the army and doesn’t know how to deploy troops?”

The commander's tone suddenly became harsh, and Lu inspector hurriedly said: "Return to your lord, it's not a lie from the lower officials, the actual situation is like this."

"More than 20 days ago, the leader of the Tenth Small Banner under Xiaguan returned to Anyuan Town from Fucheng. On the way, he found a group of refugees with about 500 people. He informed the county magistrate of Anyuan Town. Afterwards, the county magistrate quickly summoned the three subordinate officials to the county government to discuss how to avoid this disaster."

"Immediately, the lower officials sent people from the Tenth Small Banner to investigate the enemy's situation. Unexpectedly, they found that the original group of refugee troops and another group of refugee troops had joined together, and the number had reached [-]—"

Before Lu inspector finished speaking, the commander of the capital said, "You said, the total number of refugee troops who arrived in Anyuan Town is five hundred more, and the total number is two thousand two or three?"

"Yes." Inspector Lu naturally didn't dare to spout nonsense, what he said was all the truth.

But the commander was even more disbelieving, frowned, and looked at Lu Xunjian with some disgust: "The more you say, the more outrageous, are you going to tell me that with only three or 400 of you, you have killed more than 2000 refugee troops?" Is it done?"

"..." That's the truth.

Lu Xunjian complained in his heart, if he hadn't participated in it himself, whoever told him that would make him think it was just a joke.

He had no choice but to speak more clearly: "My lord, after the leader of the tenth flag galloped back that day and brought the news back, the officials and the others were ready to advance and retreat with Anyuan Town, but the tenth flag The leader of the team is a very thoughtful young man. He proposed the strategy of dividing and annihilating them, running when there are many enemies, and surrounding when there are few enemies. The town served as a barrier to consume a wave of refugee troops again, so the soldiers of the three institutes were divided into small teams of 20, and they pretended to be invincible and then retreated to the mountain forest far away from the village, where they continued to eat away at the refugee army."

All the commanders did not believe that the small number of troops in Anyuan Town could really keep the refugee army behind. What they thought more was that the refugee army continued to flee south after looting Anyuan Town.

However, Lu inspector's well-founded words made him a little surprised, and after careful consideration of the strategy of dividing and annihilating he said, he came up with a thought that maybe this was true.

He became more interested in the leader of the tenth flag that Lu inspector said: "Call the leader of the tenth flag to come out, and I will personally ask questions."

The inspector Lu complained endlessly. If the commander hadn't acted like he was going to punish him immediately, he wouldn't have told Gu Lin. Who knows what these superiors would have in mind.

But when things come to this point, that's the only way to go.

Gu Lin was behind inspector Lu, and he and the commander of the capital could hear clearly. When inspector Lu called his name, he took a step forward and saluted with fists in his hands: "Gu Lin, the leader of the tenth small banner, see your lord. .”

Song Bing, commander of the capital, looked at Gu Lin who had been mentioned several times by inspector Lu, and saw that the young man under the torch was wearing a black jacket and black trousers, with a thin body and a sad and handsome face.

But the age is too young, it looks like it may be only fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Are you the leader of the Tenth Small Banner who came back to Anyuan Town from Fucheng and found a group of refugees with more than 500 people, and formulated a strategy of dividing and annihilating?"

"Yes."

"Well, I'm asking you..." Questions were thrown out one by one, and Gu Lin answered them clearly and concisely. At first, Song Bing's questions were very sharp, but slowly, they turned into discussions, and finally, they had become Gu Lin explained what he was confused about.

Song Bing looked at the young man in front of him and completely believed what Lu inspector said just now.

Annihilated more than 400 refugee troops with three or 2000 people, an excellent example of winning more with less.

Song Bing's eyes became soft, and he pointed to the trap on the ground and asked Gu Lin: "I see that the bamboo knife and broken porcelain pieces in this trap seem to be stained with something, is it poison?"

Gu Lin lowered his eyes, and the eight winds did not move: "Reporting to my lord, it is dung water."

"Dung..." Song Bing was no different from an ordinary military man like Lu Xunjian. He was a son of the capital.

Don't talk about eating, drinking, messing around, even when lying down, there are maids supporting their heads, who would have thought that they would hear such dirty things, immediately covered their mouths, frowned and said: "What's the use of doing this?"

Gu Lin said: "There are many worms in the feces that we can't see with the naked eye. After entering the wound, it will make the scratched person hot and the wound will die."

Lu Xunjian, Nie Yong, and others next to Gu Lin thought it was true. At first they thought it was useless, but when they followed the refugee army in the mountains and forests to compete for who could live longer, they discovered that those who had been glued The dung arrows and swords scratched the wounds, and the injuries were more serious than others, and the combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

Gu Lin's performance just now made the Commander somewhat convinced of his words, but the feces still made his throat itchy and he wanted to vomit.

So he put the topic to rest and said: "I came here to destroy this group of refugee troops. Since the refugee army has been surrounded and suppressed by you, I will rest here for two days and set off for Beijing on another day."

Inspector Lu immediately said: "My lord, please, the county government has been cleaned out, and it is suitable for you to live in."

Song Bing only remembered something now, and said, "Where's the magistrate of Anyuan Town? Could it be that he abandoned the town and fled?"

The county magistrate is the seventh-rank official, and they all command the fourth-rank envoys. Even if the military officer is half a head short when he sees the civil servant, under the absolute pressure of rank, Song Bing would not dare to say this impolite word even in front of him. What.

Inspector Lu thought for a while and said: "Before the refugee army came, the people in the town retreated back. The county magistrate originally wanted to advance and retreat with us here, but retreated with the people under the persuasion of the officials and others. "

"The county magistrate is not a martial arts practitioner. It is too dangerous to stay here." Inspector Lu is not flattering the county magistrate, but he has gone through too many things and knows that although the county magistrate of Anyuan Town is mediocre A little, but compared with many other local officials, it has won a lot.

At least he doesn't search for people's fat and anointment, at least he listens to advice, at least he has a heart.

If not, Anyuan Town would have been destroyed this time.

Song Bing didn't say anything after hearing the words. The drought this time is really serious, especially in Yongzhou. There is no one left in a hundred miles. The refugee army that is making troubles is also drawn from Yongzhou.

The emperor was furious and scolded all the courtiers, but the household department had no money and could not produce food, so disaster relief became a hot potato. From last year to now, several adults have already paid attention to it .

The household department is in a state of desperation, and the military department is also in dire straits.

For nothing else, for the sake of exterminating the refugee army, the Dayu Dynasty has been peaceful for hundreds of years, and the emperor does not need them. The previous military pay and rations have not moved.

But there is no way, it is impossible to spend a huge amount of money to raise things that are useless. It is hard to do something, but you have to perform well and let the emperor remember that there is such a military department.

Song Bingneng led his troops out, but there were countless hands pushing behind him.

In the eyes of Song Bing and others, the county government, which is already very impressive to the townspeople, is extremely shabby. Lu inspector led people to clean up the place, waited for the people to sleep, and then brought the soldiers to Gu Lin and the others to live. The place.

He sighed and called Gu Lin out.

"Sit down, let's talk for a while." Inspector Lu's expression was not relaxed, he looked at Gu Lin and said, "It's really time for the commander of the capital to come."

At this moment, they didn't even have water to drink, let alone tea. The two of them were sitting under the tree in the yard of this house, and the stone table was empty.

Lu inspector continued: "Originally, I thought in my heart that when we welcome the county magistrate back, we may have our names on it when we write the job report because of our contribution to exterminating the refugee army. If you can share some benefits, it will be ruined if the commander comes here."

Gu Lin understands that there have been a lot of people robbing meritorious service throughout the ages. Since the commander of the capital was ordered to come for the refugee army, he must have good military merits in his hand.

Lu inspector also knew, but how could they feel better if they just gave others the credit for the death of so many soldiers and their hard work.

That is to say, he can't say a word to Gu Lin, or to other people.

Inspector Lu waved his hand, "Don't talk, don't talk, this is not something we can worry about at all."

"Boy Gu, what are you going to do in the future? I just let you come to the tenth flag before. With your ability, it's a pity to be the leader of the small flag in Anyuan Town."

"But now it's really hard to get promoted in the military. Even if you go to other places, there are not many ways out."

To be able to say this to him, inspector Lu really regarded him as one of his own.

Gu Lin said: "It's over now, so I'll go back to Liyu Village. After the drought is over, I'll go to Fucheng to continue my studies and take part in the next rural examination." This year's rural examination was not held as scheduled due to the drought. According to the normal process, the next one will be in three years After that, Gu Lin planned to go back to Huaishan Academy to study.

Only then did Inspector Lu remember that Gu Lin was still a scholar, he patted his head: "I was confused, I forgot that you are still a scholar, this way doesn't work, there is another way."

His eyes shined brightly: "Students are good, our Dayu has always valued civil affairs over military affairs, and military officers at the same rank are half a head shorter than civil officials. With your intelligence and intelligence, I guess there is no problem being a county magistrate. Then you The kid is a seventh-rank official!"
