A stream slowly flowed between two hills. Yang Ze ordered the army to camp beside the stream. He spread the map on a large stone and looked at the map with several generals of the Right Shenwu.!

The marching map of the Dafang Empire is naturally very detailed. It is clearly drawn wherever there are mountains and rivers, almost as accurate as modern maps. Especially the place where Yang Ze and others are located is even more accurate to every ten miles, there must be place names, and the dense place names are all written on paper.

Of course, the so-called accuracy is what people in this era say.

He bent down and looked at the map on the stone. After a moment, Yang Ze stood up straight and said, "The place name is very complete, but it does not indicate where there is danger. There is no name of the tribe on it. This map is made too indetailed and extremely careless."

The generals of the Right Shenwu Army looked up together, looked at Yang Ze, and said in unison: "What the General said is that this map is too intricate."

In fact, the generals just now thought that with such a detailed map, they would definitely find the nest of the Gaogouli people. As long as they find the small town built by the Gaogouli people, it would be easy to break it. But when they heard what Yang Ze said, without indicating the name of the tribe, they all thought, "That's right? If the tribe name is directly indicated, they could find the small town of the Gaogouli people, and do they still need to study the map here?"

Chang Chenggong was a little dissatisfied. This map was already very detailed. He had never seen the map that was more detailed than it. Even the best map collected in the palace was just that, but he still agreed with Yang Ze.

Chang Chenggong first said: "The person who made this map should be beheaded. If he uses his heart more, he will save a lot of trouble in the army!" After a pause, he said: "General, the nest of Gao Gouli people should be in this area."

As he said that, he used branches to draw a circle on the map to show that the small towns of Gaogouli people are here.

Yang Ze said: "Of course I know it was on the one you drew, but have you ever thought that it is easy to draw a circle on the map, but it is a radius of hundreds of miles. You look up and look at the mountain, the forest, and the radius of one hundred miles is enough to make us more than 10,000 people confused, and the horse team cannot move on this terrain."

"Yes, Mo Jiang is a rough man. He was confused for a moment and said the wrong thing!" Chang Chenggong said hurriedly. He then made an idea: "Don't we still criticize the people who are scammers? Those four hundred people are still very effective in being scouts along the way. We can send them to search the mountains. When we find the specific place, our army will rush over. As long as we find the right place and wipe out those little Gao Gouli people. As long as we see, it takes less than a day of credit. If we arrive on the same day, the battle will end on the same day."

All the generals present nodded together. This was the same as they thought. Everyone expected this time. The difficulty of this expedition was that they were afraid of not finding the enemy, not how powerful the enemy was.

Yang Ze sighed, closed his eyes, and deliberately thoughtful. After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "Then we will march slowly and let the sudden soldiers go into the mountain to search. When they find the results, we will speed up the march. What do you mean?"

The generals nodded together, it seemed impossible to have any other meaning. General Yang has always been very smart. Why do you have to think about the simple meaning of today before you can figure it out?

Yang Ze closed his eyes again, pretended to ponder for a while, opened his eyes again, and said, "Those suddenly people can take the lead, and they can also be considered a rafter on the grassland to investigate, but if they enter the deep mountains and forests, they may not be able to count on it. After all, the environment here is completely different from the grassland where they live. No matter how hard they work, they may not be able to find Gao Gouli people."

Generals, look at me, look at you, Yang Ze has never said such words before. Whether the sudden person is hard or not seems to be Yang Ze, and there are things they need to consider. What do those sudden persons do, just do hard work, and don’t need to have any sympathy for them.

But after Yang Ze said this, they had to nod their heads again. Chang Chenggong also said: "What the general said is very important. Seeing that those suddenly felt that they were all wearing wing legs, they probably wouldn't be able to do anything after leaving the horse. The general was polite to them and asked them to rest for two days first, otherwise these wastes would be unable to do anything except eat!"

Yang Ze sighed and said, "Actually, what I mean, of course I am discussing with you, that is, if we want us to station here, and then let the Kujue soldiers go into the mountain to search, giving them ten days. If the Gao Gouli people are searched, then we will go to the battle. If we cannot search, we have fulfilled our obligation to go to the battle. Why not retreat here!"

The generals were all stunned, that is, they would withdraw their troops in ten days? It was too fast! They looked down at the map and saw that the circle they had often successfully drawn just now was about 400 miles away from the place where they were camping now. If it was a grassland, it would be very easy. The army roared away, and it would only take two days. However, about 400 miles was a mountain road, so it would be difficult to walk. Not only did they climb mountains and hike in the forests, but when they arrived, they had to search hundreds of miles of radius. It was not certain whether they could find Gao Gou Li people, but they could not avoid it.

They looked up at Yang Ze again, and saw Yang Ze shook his head slightly. They immediately understood that General Yang didn't want to really go into the mountains to conquer, and just wanted to deal with it. This is a good thing. The deep mountains and forests are far away from the Dafang Empire. Even if the Gao Gouli people make a fuss, they will not threaten the security of the empire. Then why should they work so hard, perfunctorily and then return to the court?

A general said carefully: "General, after we return to the army, the people in the court asked about this expedition and suppression. How can we answer? I am afraid it is difficult to reply and will be held accountable. The army has been fighting for so long and has consumed countless money and food. We can't say that we can fool you if you don't find it." He was very afraid that Yang Ze would put the blame on the leaders of the generals who led the troops. Wouldn't that be unlucky?

Yang Ze said: "Of course we can't say that we didn't find it. We found it, and we also broke the small town of Gao Gouli, killing countless people and burning the city with fire. However, a few Gao Gouli people escaped. The old forests in the mountains did not catch them, but we set fire to the mountains and burned several hills. I guess even if they hide, they will definitely die, so they returned to the court."

Well……

The generals shouted in their hearts, "Oh my uncle, is that okay?"

Another general asked, "Then ask about the headlines? Otherwise, we will find a few unlucky tribes here, cut off hundreds of heads, and be considered as Gao Gouli people?"

Chang Chenggong also said: "General, if you can't get your head together, then you'll say that many of them have been burned. Is this OK?"

Yang Ze nodded and said, "Yes. However, there is no need to cut the heads. We have criticized the heads of people who are suddenly enlightened. Just use those as military meritorious service. But in order to make the show more realistic, it is necessary to set fire to a few hills. The thing that sets fire has no technical content, and everyone can do it, and it is very simple. Let's go home after it is released!"

When the generals heard this, they were all surprised and happy. They were happy that there was no need to fight a war. Although everyone knew that there would be no big battle to fight, it would be the best if they didn't take a fight. It was so shocked that Yang Ze dared to do this that he would directly take military achievements. This was too unfair to take the ministers in the court seriously. Where did he get the confidence? He was not afraid of the court's investigation?

Yang Ze looked around and said, "But only we know about this matter. Don't leak it out. When you ask your subordinates to set fire, you will say that the small town of Gao Gouli people has been burned in the fire. That is, the soldiers will not care whether it is true or not. As long as there is no dead person, there will be rewards to get after returning to Beijing, and they will not care about anything else!"

The generals nodded repeatedly. As long as General Yang said this, the soldiers and generals who went to the expedition would naturally not leak anything, but the ministers in the court would not believe it like this, right?

Others were not able to question, so they had to ask Chang Chenggong for a test. Chang Chenggong said: "General, the students from the Imperial College have a rough mouth. If they talk nonsense after returning to Beijing and let the ministers know, what should they do? Otherwise... they would burn all these students to death?"

Chang Chenggong is cruel and ruthless, so he doesn't care about the life and death of the students. He is only worried that if all the students die, will these soldiers take responsibility!

Yang Ze smiled and said, "Looking at them as tired as dogs, when we set fire to the mountains, they probably saw the fires all over the mountains and fields, but they would say that we were cruel. Whether it was humans or beasts, they would even pretend to be pleaded for the Gao Gouli people, saying that the elderly, weak, women and children would not die, and burn them all to death. It would be a violation of the laws of nature. They would not say that they had not found the Gao Gouli people. Otherwise, when the fire was extinguished and they were asked to go to the fire scene, they would probably not go to each other."

The generals nodded again, but it was the literati who understood the literati. They dared to let the students look away from the distance to set fire. As for what the fire was set, and whether the enemy was burned, the students would not care. In order to exaggerate their contribution to the expedition with the army, they might brag about the army, which is very likely.

Yang Ze paused and said, "If there will be Gao Gouli people in the future, it will be said that they are escaped and no one will pursue them. Even if something happens, it will be a few years later. No one knows what the situation is at that time, so there is no need to worry about it."

He waved his hand and asked the generals to go back. He took Mugen to the stream, intending to take a good bath and wash the fatigue of his body.

When he arrived next to the stream, Yang Ze took off his clothes and was about to jump into the water, but Mu Gen whispered: "Master, there are people coming over there, not like ours. Do you want to wait and wash them later?"

Yang Ze cursed, and had to put on his clothes again, sat under the tree with Mugen, waiting for the people to come over. He was a little puzzled in his heart. Why would anyone pass by if the Right Shenwu Army is camping here? Could it be a mountain hunter? He is so brave. He didn't escape even after seeing the army, but he dared to make do with it!

As soon as they sat down, they saw two people coming over there. It seemed to be a couple. The wife was concentrating on cursing her husband, while the husband was rushing to the road with his head down. None of them noticed Yang Ze and Mu Gen under the tree.

I heard the wife say, "You are a coward, you can't do it at night, but still can't do it during the day. It will take you so long to pack your luggage. You haven't seen that there are many soldiers coming over there, and I don't know where they came from. If you enter our village, kill and rob you, kill me, and rob me, what should I do?"

The husband whispered: "Aren't we leaving now? There are no soldiers chasing us. What are you afraid of?"

The wife spat and said, "The soldiers are unreasonable. I don't know how many people will harm this time. I don't want to be one of them. But you will die if you die. I can find another man. I will always be better than you in the rest of my life. Why don't you die? Why don't you be arrested by the soldiers? Go and let them arrest you!"

The husband said, "How can this be done, how can this be done!"

Yang Ze and Mugen sounded funny. This fierce wife was really powerful. While fleeing, she also wanted to scold her husband. That husband was really cowardly and didn't even dare to scold him back!
