Sizhou.
A group of people braved the wind and snow and headed forward.
Gao Anahu was sitting in the car, looking at the scenery outside from time to time, taking a sip of tea, and making strange noises from his mouth.
While we were walking happily, the carriage suddenly stopped.
I saw a man who looked like a scribe poking his head in tremblingly. The deputy general's face was tired and his eyes were bloodshot.
"General, the road is full of snow. The soldiers can't sweep it away. There are no villages or towns along the road to clear the road. The road is rugged."
"so what?!"
"I don't know how to repair it on weekdays, but now I know that the road is not good when we are sending troops?!"
"Do we have to wait until the enemy attacks in the future and need to send troops before repairing it?!"
Gao Anagan said displeasedly: "If we send more sergeants over, will these thousands of people still be blocked by the road? Let them all go ahead to open the way! As the governor of Shuozhou, I must ensure that Bingzhou reaches Shuozhou.
The state’s roads are clear!!”
"Don't neglect it!"
The scribe was stunned for a moment, and then he said: "General, it's freezing outside, and the sergeants' legs have been frozen. We are marching very slowly at the moment, so we might as well abandon our carriages and ride on horseback."
"Bastard thing!!"
Gao Anagong was furious and reprimanded: "When I followed King Gao to fight in the frontier fortress, I didn't suffer any hardships. What does this cold mean? I think you have stayed in the Central Plains for a long time, and all of them are tired."
With the virtue of a man, he cannot suffer the slightest bit of pain!!"
"Give me supervision with a knife! Anyone who dares to disobey will be beheaded!"
The scribe clenched his fists, said nothing, turned around and left. Gao Ana cursed a few times, took the hot tea in front of him again, and started to eat it gently.
"Oh!!"
The soldiers, armed with weapons and some with armor, threw the snow accumulated on the road to both sides.
Heavy snow continued to fall from the sky, and the soldiers' faces turned red from the cold. Some of them suddenly fell down while doing something. Several sergeants around were shocked, and the officers also hurried over and called the military doctor to pick them up.
The army advanced very slowly.
A sergeant was shoveling the snow in front and looked angrily at the helpless scribe, "Qin Ji's Office!! Shouldn't you record these things and inform the temple?!"
Qin Jishi frowned and stopped talking.
An officer who was shoveling snow cursed: "I know what that Gao Anagan is! Why follow King Gao? At first, he just relied on his big size to guard the door and hold the flag in front of King Gao. He never stood up in his life.
My next achievement is to become a general by flattery and selling my butt!!"
"The dog is really arrogant. It's snowing so heavily. He dared not get out of the car while he was sitting in the car, but he asked us to open the road ahead!!"
"It's already been a month. If we continue like this, it will take hot summer to reach us. How many of us, thousands of brothers, can survive?!"
The few warriors around him said nothing, but their eyes flashed fiercely, and one of them suddenly dropped the shield in his hand.
"Everyone, why are you so humiliated?"
Seeing that something was wrong with the situation, Qin Ji's office hurriedly stepped forward, "Don't get angry!! I will report it to the general again soon!!"
The scribe left again, and the warriors looked at each other with anger in their eyes.
Gao Anagong was eating tea when the scribe interrupted his enjoyment again.
Gao Anahu was a little angry, "What happened again?"
The scribe hurriedly said: "General, the soldiers couldn't bear it anymore. They all said that the general wanted to kill them. Many people gathered together and talked in low voices. I don't know what they were talking about."
Gao Anagong suddenly woke up. He quickly put away the tea and walked out of the carriage quickly.
The sergeants looked at him one after another, mostly with evil eyes.
These sergeants who followed Gao Anagong to Shuozhou were not the kind of county soldiers who existed as expendable supplies. They were all real Yecheng elites, specially sent by Gao Zhan to suppress Liu Taozi.
But before these people saw Liu Taozi, dozens of people were already dead and injured.
Gao Anagong seemed to have noticed the evil in those people's eyes, and immediately frowned, looked at the scribes on the side, and cursed angrily: "Who asked you to instruct these soldiers to clear the way?!"
"Someone is coming!"
"Beat him with fifty army sticks!!"
Gao Anahu then looked at everyone, "I am ill and have never gone out, which almost allowed this guy to succeed! There is no need to do this again, I will take you there on horseback!!"
The warriors looked at him calmly, and a few of them picked up their shields again and began to prepare. Gao Anago was a little embarrassed, but he didn't care.
But the scribe was dragged aside. He wanted to explain something, but when he saw Gao Anahu riding a horse in the distance, he just shut his mouth in despair.
"Crack."
The wooden stick fell on the scribe's body. The scribe shuddered, but did not feel the pain. He raised his head in surprise.
The warrior grinned and said, "Anyway, please bark a few times."
"Crack."
"ah!!!"
The scorching sun hung alone in the sky, but it didn't bring much warmth.
The whole world was covered with snow, and Gao Anahu was riding a war horse, wrapped in thick clothes, but he couldn't help but shiver, his teeth kept clashing together, and he looked into the distance with expectation.
This section of road is indeed difficult to walk, especially in winter. It is simply fatal and can only be done by horseback.
Gao Anahu felt that he couldn't bear it any longer. Fortunately, they finally arrived at the border of Shuozhou.
After entering the city, you can rest and wait until the weather warms up before heading to the prison.
A huge camp slowly appeared in front of them in the distance. The camp was extremely tall and built against the mountain. There were only two mountain roads connected to the main road, and the location was extremely dangerous.
Gao Anahu breathed a sigh of relief, "The Pingshe garrison has finally arrived."
He took the lead and quickly charged towards the camp. The knights also speeded up, protecting him and running towards the city in front of them.
On the path leading to the walled city on the left, some soldiers raised their crossbows and aimed them at them.
After Gao Anahum showed his identity, they got out of the way.
Gao Anagong had no intention of questioning him. He was unwilling to waste time and charged directly into the walled city.
The city gate was slowly opened, and dozens of people walked out.
They were all dressed as scribes. When they saw Gao Anakhu, they hurriedly bowed to see him. Gao Anakhu ignored them and rode into the city.
The city has been swept away, not much snow can be seen, and soldiers are stationed everywhere. On the wall in the distance, there is a knight every few steps, and the same is true on the roads in the city.
Gao Anagong was very surprised. He looked at the officers behind him, pointed at the troops, and said with a smile: "The temple also said that Shuozhou soldiers can no longer be used. They should really come and see!"
"I don't think they are any weaker than you Yecheng soldiers."
Gao Anagong raised his head at this moment, his expression gradually becoming arrogant.
Along the way, these officers were rude to him many times and disobeyed his general orders overtly and covertly, but Gao Anagong had no choice but to let it go.
Because he didn't have any other people around him at that time, he was afraid of forcing these guys to rebel.
But at this time, when he arrived at his home court and had the Shuozhou soldiers under his control in a real sense, Gao Anagong was no longer afraid of them, and even vaguely wanted to accuse them.
The officer frowned and said nothing.
But those officials came over again, and one of them quickly took Gao Anahu's hand and said, "General, you."
He wanted to say something, but he looked back at a scribe in the crowd and shut his mouth helplessly, "General, I am Sima Shi Daozhi."
"Let's talk about it after we enter the inner room!"
Gao Ana pulled up his clothes and strode towards the official office in the distance.
The officials were helpless. One of them was about to speak, but the scribes around him stared at him, and he did not dare to speak.
Gao Anagong sent an officer to settle the soldiers in Yecheng, and he quickly walked into the official office.
Walking into the official office, the cold wind finally became much weaker.
Gao Ana touched his ears and said, "I haven't been back for a long time, and this place has really not changed at all. It's freezing cold."
"Shi Sima?"
"You are a nice person, and you know how to come to greet you. However, I am not here for pleasure."
"I'm here to do something big."
Gao Anagong said sternly as he walked: "I heard that there are young men with gray heads in the frontier who are trying to be cruel recently. We, the founding generals, are still alive!"
He walked into the main room, and the next moment he saw a person sitting on the upper desk.
The man had a strong back and armor, looking straight at him.
Gao Ana was stunned for a moment.
"Who are you?"
"The little Cangtou who is showing off his evil deeds at the frontier."
Gao Anahu's face changed drastically and he turned around suddenly.
The soldier in the distance slowly blocked the door, picking up a crossbow in his hand.
The corners of Gao Ana's mouth twitched, and he hurriedly squeezed out a smile. He stroked his beard and said, "It turns out to be General Liu."
"I was about to go find General Liu. Unexpectedly, the general came to meet me first."
"I have a good relationship with the general's grandfather. I have saved him several times in the past. When I set out this time, he told me to teach General Liu well and let me beat and scold him."
Gao Anagong pretended to be an old man and said that he was fighting with King Gao. In fact, Gao Anagong was not very old. He was only a few years older than Lou Rui and was less than forty.
Years old, he is not considered an old minister at all.
The officials in the distance looked at him and then at Liu Taozi, but they all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
Liu Taozi had a straight face, as if she didn't hear what he said at all and just stared at him, which made Gao Anahu even more uneasy.
Tian Zili, who had always been among the officials, couldn't help it. He stepped forward and sneered: "Old man, you are not afraid of losing your tongue when you talk nonsense?"
"The person who spoke like this before had his tongue cut off by my brother for drinking."
Gao Anakhu was frightened, angry and frightened.
He glared at Tian Zili, then looked at Liu Taozi, "Xiannephew, please don't mess around."
"I came here on your Majesty's order, and I do know your grandfather."
"As the governor of Hengzhou, you are not allowed to leave the state. You came to Shuozhou without reporting. This is a serious crime that will kill your head!!"
"For your grandpa's sake, I will forgive you this time. Please leave as soon as possible!!"
Gao Ana waved his big hand, which was very generous.
But Liu Taozi still didn't say anything. He just sat on the upper seat and stared at Gao Anagong fiercely.
Gao Anahu became increasingly uneasy and at a loss. At this moment, he felt as if he was being targeted by some ferocious beast. He was completely absent-minded and indescribable fear.
"My dear nephew, what exactly do you want to do?"
Gao Anakhum asked again.
His voice had begun to tremble.
Liu Taozi suddenly appeared in Shuozhou, which was very close to Xiansi, and even controlled the city. When the officials thought of the purpose of coming to Shuozhou this time, Gao Anagon couldn't help but think, Liu Taozi was
Hasn’t he already rebelled??
Thinking of this possibility, Gao Anahu seemed to be a little unsteady on his feet. He hurriedly said: "My dear nephew, I have always been close to your family. If you need my help with anything, just ask. Why do you need to threaten me like this?"
Where are the people?”
"I can't bear it."
Officials gradually understood.
When Gao Anagong first came, they really thought he had someone who could suppress Liu Taozi due to his arrogant words, but they also saw the changes in his mood these few times.
What a fucking warrior.
He's clearly a coward and only shows up!
The temple sent such a person to replace Hu Luxian??
Let him suppress Liu Taozi??
The officials' faces were ashen, and they no longer had any hope for the governor.
Liu Taozi looked at them and said, "Sit down."
The officials began to take their seats one after another. Gao Anagong looked around and saw that it was neither sitting nor not sitting. He simply gritted his teeth and sat in the front seat among the officials.
Liu Taozi then looked at Gao Anahu, "Gao Jishi, where are the winter clothes, winter grains, firewood and other things that were given to me?"
"ah?"
"General, I have just arrived in Shuozhou and I am not very clear about things here. Haven't these things been sent to you yet?"
"Sent."
Liu Taozi suddenly looked at the people in front of him, "But he was kidnapped by the officials of Shuozhou."
"ah??"
Gao Anakhu was furious. He stood up suddenly and said, "This is unreasonable!!"
"These thieves even dare to steal the materials distributed by the temple to the frontier fortress. They are really unreasonable. General, I will go and clean them all up right away. I will take away whatever they have stolen!"
Liu Taozi said calmly: "Don't bother."
"My general Kou Liu came to Shuozhou to collect food, but he was attacked by Shuozhou officials and robbed his supplies."
"I have sent troops to take back the things they took away."
"These people looted military supplies and committed heinous crimes."
Gao Anagong pursed his lips, but nodded sharply, "Yes! You are so bold! Your crime is heinous!"
He suddenly looked at Liu Taozi again, "General, since you took back the things that were robbed, why didn't you go back and instead stayed here?"
"Oh, there is a rebellion in the state, and there is no governor in charge, so I came here to help the governor keep an eye on them and wait for the governor to arrive."
Gao Ana's face was touched, "Thank you, general! If it weren't for the general, I'm afraid Shuozhou would be in trouble, and even I would be accused. However, I still want to ask, who is the rebel?"
"Governor Shi Guo Yuanzhen."
"He sent people to rob food, and he also attempted to rebel and had an affair with the puppet Zhou Dynasty, but I found out."
Gao Anahu took a breath, his teeth hurt a little.
Before setting off, I still remember that He Shikai held my hand and told me that when I got there, I could get closer to the chief minister, Guo Yuanzhen, and that this person was a member of my family that I could absolutely trust.
As a result, this family member was beheaded before he could come.
Gao Anagong didn't know what to say for a moment.
But Liu Taozi said: "General, the situation in Shuozhou is complicated and dangerous. You are new here, so I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for you to do things."
"Why don't you let me help you."
"General, how about we let the knights outside go to the garrison towns to assist in the defense first, and then we can discuss the rest?"
Gao Anahu fell silent.
He vaguely noticed something was wrong.
If Liu Taozi came here for supplies, then he would just leave after grabbing them. Why stay here to block himself?
He even disguised himself and sent local officials to greet him, just to trick him in.
At this moment, the soldiers from Yecheng must be transferred away again.
Does he want to hold himself hostage?
Gao Anagong was a man with little talent. He had no knowledge of Confucian classics, and his combat skills were average. He was tall, could ride a horse and shoot arrows. He insisted on qualifications and had no real achievements or heads to prove himself, but he was not stupid either.
, he knows how to analyze the situation and knows what is best for him.
He simply stopped hiding it and chose to show his cards directly.
"Does the general want to take me hostage to take over Shuozhou?"
The officials lowered their heads one after another and pretended not to hear anything.
"How can you say that?"
Liu Taozi said: "You are still the governor of Shuozhou. You can stay in the official office, eat, drink and play with you. I just send some people to help you and govern Shuozhou."
, appease the people, besides, Yang Zhong is ready to make a move, there will definitely be a battle this year, I can still help you resist Yang Zhong."
"I don't have any other ideas. What I do now is all for the sake of the country."
"You don't have to be afraid of any crimes you will bear. I just need to defeat Yang Zhong and pacify all the frontiers."
Gao Anagong asked: "What about the temple?"
"The temple is far away from us, so there is no need to report everything. Besides, don't you, the governor, have the final say on how to report matters inside and outside the state?"
"And everyone."
Liu Taozi looked at the rest of the people, "I kept you because I didn't find any evidence of your crimes. You are different from others. You have some conscience and have done practical things. I will not hold you hostage to do anything. I will
Promoting you to serve as important officials in various places in Shuozhou, all I want is to govern Shuozhou well. This winter, Shuozhou has the most deaths. It is obviously the richest, but it ends like this, I think it is inappropriate."
"Gao Gong, what do you think?"
Gao Anagang said without thinking: "Government of Shuozhou is also the purpose of my coming here. Besides, you are right. Yang Zhong is watching eagerly from the side, how can I ignore it?"
"Since my nephew wants to help me defend the enemy and govern the people, why should I not do so?!"
"Just do what the general says!"
