The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Seeing that the bandit soldiers had temporarily retreated, Su Tao said he wanted to visit the soldiers.Jia Cong hurriedly laughed and said, "At this point, you keep going to see the soldiers, and why don't you let people eat? Why don't you get some good dishes and give me some rewards. Everyone is tired all day, and it's hard work." Tao winks.

Although Su Tao didn't understand what it meant, he agreed wholeheartedly.Liu Xiaoqi then said: "The gates of the four cities are all closed, and the people don't dare to go out. The restaurants and restaurants must have prepared a lot of food for nothing. My lord, let's go buy some? It is also rumored that the magistrate personally bought vegetables for the soldiers. A good story."

Jia Cong hurriedly said: "Okay, tight! In the future, we can make up a play and ask the city gate to deliver food!" Su Tao originally wanted to say, "What kind of a good story is this?" Press down for now.

Jia Cong then ordered Liu Xiaoqi to go shopping with him, and he personally escorted the two of them down the city gate.When he reached the bottom of the building, he complained in a low voice: "My dear brother! Why do you keep visiting the soldiers? These are General Qi's soldiers, not yours. If they hadn't been hired to transport rice last time and given [-] silver, Guan Bao fled away early. He was helping you with your life because of your generosity. Do you still want to win over his army?"

Su Tao hurriedly said, "How could I have such intentions!"

"I know you don't, General Qi doesn't know. Didn't you notice the look in his eyes just now?" Su Tao was startled, he really didn't notice.Jia Cong curled his lips, "They are not soldiers of the Nanchang Mansion, these people have nothing to do with them. Anyway, we are employers, just pay the money."

Su Tao thought he had missed General Qi's expression, so he gave up and sighed, "They are also soldiers of the imperial court."

"Okay, I'm daydreaming again." Jia Cong said helplessly, "In the future, you should take care of compulsory education schools so that the soldiers 20 years from now will be more sensible." Nai and Liu Xiaoqi met eyes, and Liu Xiao Qi persuaded Su Tao to leave.Jia Cong heaved a sigh of relief: General Qi's expression was normal just now, but he was just lying to coax Su Tao, for fear of assassins.

The two of them passed by the little leader just now, Liu Xiaoqi greeted him, and the little leader nodded.At this moment, there are still new wealthy households coming to the nursing home, and the little boss said again, "General Li's reinforcements are coming, and the first battalion has already entered the city." Liu Xiaoqi helped Su Tao to rub shoulders with a middle-aged man. And pass.The man was a little limp, followed by a young man in his twenties, whose eyes followed Su Tao for a long time.The man clasped his fists at the little boss and said: "Master, I am an old friend of General Yang Guotai, surnamed Du, please see General Yang." The little boss hurriedly sent someone to deliver a letter.The young man kept staring at Su Tao, seeing that neither he nor Liu Xiaoqi responded, his brows were puzzled.

Not long after, Yang Guotai went downstairs and came to greet him in person.Du's face was originally dark, but when he saw Yang Guotai, he turned black and red, and clasped his fists in shame: "Brother, I'm sorry."

Yang Guotai also cupped his fists in return, thinking for a moment: "This is not a place to talk." He led him to a secluded place and asked, "What's going on?"

The surnamed Du smiled wryly: "Do you believe me when I say it's empty talk and white teeth?"

It turned out that this man was named Du Min'an. He was picked up by Shi Xiangyun's father in the rebellion army together with Yang Guotai when he was young, and he got his name together.After the death of General Shi Da, this person still served in the army.Later, he was framed by crowding out, fell from a horse and was injured and became lame, and retreated into the market, just like ordinary old soldiers.Reunited with Yang Guotai many years later, Yang is already a thief in the green forest.Seeing that Du Min'an had a hard time, he generously donated money.His son worshiped Yang Guotai, and he insisted on worshiping him as a teacher, rather than being a thief.Yang Guotai refused at first, but he went out to do some business and went back to visit Du's house. Du Min'an had already joined the "old man"'s group, and the whole family was dragged into trouble.Du Min'an thought, since he has become a thief anyway, it would be good for the child to learn some martial arts.He asked Yang Guotai to say, "I'm abolished, or I'll teach him myself." Yang Guotai understood his intention, and accepted his son as his disciple.

Later, Yang Guotai was sent to Jiangxi to take care of Changfeng Building, and the Du family moved here.Yang Guotai used the pseudonym Yang Tugen to wander around the market, and often went out to do errands; the Du family lived next door to him.Yang Guotai lives alone and has no family members. Du's wife occasionally helps him to sew.A few years ago, Yang Guotai was ordered to hide in the magistrate's yamen as a disciple.He knew very well that his boss was not a good person, and it must be no good for him to get himself in front of the magistrate for no reason.If something unexpected happens in the future, just throw it away and it will be an abandoned pawn.He deliberately cut off contact with Du's family, and continued to teach Du Min'an's son martial arts behind his back.

A few days ago, Du Min'an was ordered to go out to do errands, and the two of them were the only ones left at home.On the night when Jia Cong and others arrived in Nanchang Mansion, some thieves broke into Du's house and almost raped Du's wife.His son happened to be away from home because of something outside. When he came back, he saw his mother being humiliated and was furious.But he asked the thief what he looked like.Du's wife thought about it, although the man covered his face, he looked like Yang Guotai.The mother and son searched carefully in the house and found a button.Mrs. Du recognized it immediately.During the New Year, she made two identical clothes for Yang Guotai and Du Min'an's brothers. This button is the top one, and Du Min'an's was worn by him to go to work in other places.The kid immediately wanted to ask Yang Guotai to question him, but his mother stopped him desperately.Du's wife was afraid that the child would not be the master's opponent, so she asked him to wait for Du Min'an to come back.The kid agreed, but had other plans in mind.

Then there was the boy who ran to the gate of the government office to make trouble with the poisoned dart in his pocket, and let Zhenming take it down.The child grew up crying and laughing vividly, and Yang Guotai was very sad.He was originally a protégé, and the matter of interrogating the criminal was not in his hands, and he thought that the boy was ordered by his master to harm him, so he never went to see the prison cell, and the master and apprentice never saw each other again.

It wasn't until Du Min'an came back yesterday and asked his wife's neighbor's boss that he knew about it.Du Min'an has been friends with Yang Guotai for decades, and he knows his nature well, and immediately understands that his son has been provoked - he lost a button on his own clothes.His superiors also told him that Yang Guotai had betrayed his boss and joined the new magistrate. Du Min'an then guessed that his boss wanted to take advantage of his son's identity to catch Yang Guotai by surprise so that he could kill him.Du Min'an didn't know what it was like inside.

Today the bandits attacked the city. I heard that General Yang, who had fought in northern Xinjiang, led the troops to fight against the enemy at the west gate of the city.If others don't know, how can Du Min'an not know?He was also worried that the bandits would come in and disturb his family, that his son would not know what to do in prison, and that he was too embarrassed to come to Yang Guotai.Just when he was so worried that his five gods were agitated, someone came to look for him.It was the young man with me at this moment.

This person's surname is Li, and he went out on an errand with Du Min'an this time, and everyone else calls him Li Erlang.Although Li Erlang didn't talk much, his mind was clear.He persuaded Du Min'an, "Prefect Su resorted to thunderous tactics, and the master retreated steadily. I see that there is no hope. As the saying goes, a man who knows the current affairs is a hero. Now Yang Tugen is meeting the enemy at Ximen. You and him are old and old. If you don’t know each other, why don’t you take the opportunity to help. One is to clear up your brothers’ misunderstanding, and the other is to take refuge in Su Zhifu. You will have a better future in the future, which is better than being a thief for a lifetime. As for the cases we committed in the past... Yang Cathay's assassination of the old emperor can be fine, our idea is nothing. The big deal is that in the future, the merits will be lost." Du Min'an was originally a general of the imperial court, but he had no choice but to become a thief.Hearing that Yang Guotai took refuge in the magistrate, he secretly thought about it.Hearing what he said, he immediately agreed.The two of them then came to the city gate to look for Yang Guotai.

After hearing this, Yang Guotai sighed and said: "So it's the reason. It's also my fault. I only care about my own displeasure, and I didn't ask the child why."

Nai led them to meet Zhenming Jia Cong and others, and then quietly pulled Jia Cong to explain the misunderstanding between him and his apprentice.Jia Cong glanced at Yang Guotai with his eyes, and Yang Guotai also glanced back.Jia Cong then said to Du Min'an: "I can't guarantee that you can completely write off those things in the past. It's okay to pay for your merits anyway."

Du Min'an clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Mr. Jia."

Jia Cong laughed and said, "I don't have an official position yet, so I can't be called an 'adult'."

Then he heard Li Erlang say: "Su Zhifu has always been famous, why didn't he come to defend the city? Could it be that he is also a coward who fled the battle?"

Jia Cong hurriedly said: "Don't say that, if it reaches his ears, you will make trouble again." Nai Chashou said, "What is he doing here as a civil servant? He can't send troops, he can't line up. Knowing how to line up, it took us a lot of effort to coax him away. Civil and military have different paths, but he has the highest official title. If he is confused, what should he do if he is an outsider and an expert? Wouldn't the people all over the city and tens of thousands of people suffer? "

Li Erlang's eyes jumped: "Are there tens of thousands of soldiers in our city?"

Jia Cong said: "We have more than [-] people from the Taiwan government plus General Qi, and now we have added the one who just came to report. Even the old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers are almost [-]." He snapped He clapped his hands and said excitedly, "General Yang, the bandit soldiers suffered heavy casualties today, their morale is low and they are tired. Shall we go to rob the camp tonight?"

Yang Guotai thought for a moment, then looked up at Zhenming.Zhenming said: "I'm just a Taoist priest, how can I know such things as marching and fighting?"

Look at the general again.General Qi clasped his fists and said, "All at the command of General Yang."

Jia Cong said from the side: "We are the defenders of the city, and we are not so tired. Their siege must have been exhausted to death. Paoze died again, and he was shot again, making people more and more panicked. Take their camp and protect them Fuck off and run away!"

Yang Guotai laughed and said: "Nonsense. How can you not be tired of defending the city?" Jia Cong curled his lips.Yang Guotai thought for a long time, looked at Du Min'an, "What do you think?"

Du Min'an clasped his fists: "Brother Yang, I have nowhere to go! I'll lead someone there!"

Jia Cong blinked and said in a low voice, "By the way, get some military merit. Military merit is rare these days, and there is no chance to earn it unless you go abroad."

Yang Guotai's eyes moved slightly, and he pretended to say: "Let me think about it again."

Jia Cong turned his head to Du Min'an and silently said, There is a door!Nai Xixi smiled and wanted to leave.Yang Guotai asked him what he was doing, and he said, "There are so many talented people like you here, so I have nothing to do with you. I'll go back and see my wife... eh, go back and see the old man." Then he left.

Yang Guotai then decided to rob the camp, and took a map of the city gate and the western suburbs to study.Ask Du Min'an: "How many people do you want? General Li's first battalion is tired and needs to rest. There are still [-] grain soldiers in the city and [-] special battalion soldiers from the Taiwan government."

Du Min'an thought about it and asked: "I heard that the Taiwan government is rich, and one soldier can be ten, but I don't know if they will listen to me."

Yang Guotai said: "No problem, I have the final say."

Du Min'an clasped his fists: "I beg for five thousand soldiers from the Taiwan government." Yang Guotai nodded in agreement, and pointed to the map with General Qi to figure out the route.

Li Erlang didn't know much about marching and fighting. After sitting idle for a long time, he suddenly remembered something and pulled Du Min'an: "Uncle Du, now you can be regarded as taking refuge in Mr. Su... Aunt Du is still worried. My nephew will return for you." Send a letter home?"

Du Min'an said: "Alright. Tell her that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, so she can wait at home." Li Erlang walked away clasping his fists.He just left, and he really said he would go downstairs for a stroll, and he left too.

Yang Guotai and the others discussed the meeting again, and some government servants beat gongs and drums to deliver food, and the prefect Su invited everyone to eat.Su Tao didn't come by himself - he wanted to come, but Jia Cong and Liu Xiaoqi tried to persuade him.Li Erlang came back after dinner and said he had reported to Aunt Du; Du Min'an thanked him.Several people discussed for a long time about robbing the camp.

Everything was in order, and Yang Guotai ordered General Cheng from the Taiwan government to come over and asked him for five thousand soldiers.This General Cheng is not very old, and his face looks like he is wearing a mask, showing no joy or anger.Hearing Yang Guotai tell them to rob the camp, he immediately embraced his orders.Then let him give the person to Du Min'an, and flatly refused.He said: "My soldiers cannot be taken by others."

Yang Guotai said sullenly, "This is a military order."

General Cheng said coldly: "I will lead the troops into battle, and I can pass on the achievements of the battle to others."

Du Min'an blushed and coughed twice: "General, I haven't led the army for many years, let General Cheng go."

Yang Guotai was furious, and said: "Military orders are like mountains, and you must not violate them." General Cheng turned a deaf ear.

General Qi on the side hurried forward to persuade the fight.After talking about it for a long time, Yang Guotai got better a little bit, but General Cheng still remained silent.Yang Guotai was so angry that he smashed the teapot on the desk.After going on for a long time, Du Min'an finally couldn't get the military power.It was agreed that at five o'clock tonight, General Cheng would lead [-] troops to the outskirts to rob camps where bandits were stationed.Yang Guotai originally asked him to rob the camp at the fourth watch, but he insisted that the best time to rob the camp was at the fifth watch, and the two quarreled for a long time, but in the end it was General Cheng himself who had the final say.

Yang Guotai looked at him calmly and said, "The hair on your mouth hasn't grown yet, so you know how to fight? You weren't born when I shaved my beard in Beijiang."

General Cheng said indifferently: "It's useless to say more, and we will see the result in a few hours. I don't want military achievements, whoever wants it will take it."

Yang Guotai snorted, "How dare you issue a military order?"

"No need." General Cheng said, "Only those who are incompetent can take military orders to embolden them." But he left in a huff.Yang Guotai's teeth itch in anger.

That night Yang Guotai and others were going to rest at the city gate tower.Because Du Min'an has a family, and he is not needed to rob the camp tonight, Yang Guotai asked him to go back to see his wife.He was fine, so Li Erlang naturally became finer and followed him.Anyway, Yang Guotai guaranteed to recommend them to Mr. Su for them.

After tossing all day during the day, everyone is tired.That night, the soldiers defending the city had a good night's sleep.The bandits outside the city stayed up all night, and they didn't see the camp robbers until dawn.
