Chapter 67 The servant is the servant
Mr. Guan left in a hurry, leaving half a cart of Tartars' heads for Gao Jin, and took away all the rest and headed to Camel City overnight.
It is true that the court used its head to test its military achievements, but the more than 200 Tartar heads, based on the scale of the war in the past, would be able to achieve a gain of more than 10,000 troops. These Tartar heads must become real military achievements, and there are many procedures to go through. At least the Yansui General Office must have a decent large-scale military operation to avoid causing doubts.
"Chen Sheng, take the two of you back to the fortress first to see what's going on now?"
There is not much time left for Gao Jin. He will not take people to the house casually. He will find a way to exclude his suspicion and cannot leave any evidence to the people.
"Yes, second brother."
Chen Sheng nodded. Among the people, he was the most calm. He should do the matter of inquiring about the news. He chose two of the most inconspicuous partners, and the three of them rushed to Hekou Fort in the night.
"Uncle Ma, old Dong, can the servants fight?"
In the camp, Gao Jin asked the horse army and Dong Bufang that the horse thief who attacked the Gao family caravan that day, Li Da, was dead, but there were nearly 30 horse thieves left in the nest, and half of them had blood on their hands. He would not let these people go.
"I practice delicious food and drink all day long, and I'm worried that I have no place to work hard!"
Dong Bufang replied with a smile, and Ma Jun nodded beside him. Both of them have been practicing hard for the servants these days. When they joined the army, they did not have such a good meal. They were too embarrassed to eat but not practice. They had to practice twelve minutes after eating tens of thousands of dollars.
"Okay, tell the servants to have a good rest after meals and set off at midnight."
Gao Jin said in a deep voice that there were not many horse thieves left in Li Da's lair, and Sangha was also an insider. At that time, let Wuyan go to open the village gate, and just take a look at the results of the training of the servants during this period.
"Yes, Grandpa."
Dong Bufang and Ma Jun stood up to respond, and they were in charge of the servants' team, of course they also wanted to make contributions, and did not want to lose to those little guys.
Soon after, when they got the news of going to fight, the servants cheered. They could have a full meal every day and see meat every meal. They just issued monthly silver and their morale was high, not to mention that Gao Jin was clearly rewarded and punished, so they were naturally willing to work hard for Gao Jin, which was quite a bit of a happy person when they heard about the battle.
Hearing the cheers of the servants, the prisoners of the government and army who were squatting not far away were quite jealous and generous. After the servants fought, they could get silver rewards, and they were willing to fight to the death if they were replaced.
"Damn it, I don't accept it. Why can't I work hard for the high-ranking master!"
Among the prisoners of the government army, someone shouted, put down his clean rice bowl, stood up from the team, and whispered, "I want to see the high master?"
"Wang Langzi, what are you doing? Don't let everyone get hurt!"
Lao He shouted. Wang Langzi was a member of his team. He was usually a silent and silent man, but he never thought that he would start to make trouble at this time.
"You think you can see the high master as soon as you want, get back."
Someone in the servant who was guarding the prisoners cursed and pushed them. Wang Langzi refused to give in and started to fight, "Why don't you let me see the high master? I'm not worse than you!"
"stop."
Dong Bufang shouted, then squinted his eyes and walked to the place where the troubles were caused, staring at Wang Lengzi. Wang Lengzi's real name was Wang Ding, and he was one of the few people he was optimistic about among the prisoners of the government army.
The servant who wanted to use weapons retreated angrily, but his eyes were fierce. Wang Ding was not willing to be outdone and stared back.
"Dong Tou."
Seeing Dong Bufang, Wang Ding bowed and bowed. He dared to blow up the thorns with those servants, but he did not dare to be arrogant in front of Dong Bufang and Ma Jun.
"Wang Ding, why are you causing trouble?"
"Tao Dong, I'm not causing trouble. I'm willing to work hard for the high-ranking master, just ask Tio Dong to give me a chance."
Wang Ding gritted his teeth and said loudly that Lao He and the others said that when Gao Gong settled Zhang Gui's funeral, Gao Gong would let them go, but he didn't want to go back and go hungry. He grew up so old that he finally knew what it would be like to have a full meal every time.
"Grandmaster!"
Everyone around suddenly shouted, and it turned out that Gao Jin had left the camp at some point and was behind Dong Bufang.
Seeing Gao Jin, Wang Ding suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Grandpa, I want to be your servant, please accept it."
Among the prisoners of the government army, several young people looked at Wang Ding who was lying on the ground and their faces became inexplicably nervous. They wanted to be Gao Jin's servants like Wang Langzi, but they did not have the courage of Wang Langzi.
Looking at the desire on the face of a young man who was kneeling on the ground, a few years older than him, Gao Jin helped him up and said, "Get up and talk!"
Seeing Gao Jin helping Wang Ding up personally, the young people among the prisoners of the government army felt a little hot, and their eyes showed a bit of anticipation. They wanted to know if Gao Jin would accept Wang Lengzi as a servant.
"Why do you want to be a servant? You should know that I, the Gao family, have to go to war and fight with thieves, and you may die at any time."
Gao Jin looked at Wang Ding and asked seriously. He heard from Dong Bufang that most of the prisoners of the official army had no courage, and only a few people were qualified to be servants. Wang Ding in front of him was probably one of them.
"I don't want to starve anymore. Even if I fight with thieves, even if I die, it's better than starving to death."
Wang Ding said loudly, some of the servants next to him wanted to laugh, but they couldn't laugh out loud. Everyone was born with miserable origins, and no one had ever been hungry. The feeling of burning the heart and stomach when hungry was the most uncomfortable.
Who would have been hungry and had eaten enough to taste the taste of hunger again?
Many prisoners of the government army were shocked after hearing Wang Ding's words. In recent years, the walls were generally peaceful, and the Tartars only occasionally robbed them, but their lives were still hard. It would be good if they could eat five or six points full, and only when they were here in Gaojin, everyone could have enough food.
For a moment, even the veterans of Lao He and others thought that Gao Jin would release them in the future and live a half-hungry life after returning to the fortress. It would be better to work as a prisoner for Gao Jin, at least he could have enough food to eat.
"If you want to be a servant, then I will give you a chance. Tonight I will take the servants to wipe out the horse thieves. Do you dare to go with you and take the lead at that time?"
Gao Jin looked around and saw everyone's expressions. The servants were a little disdainful, while the prisoners were nervous and expectant. As he said slowly, the expectations on the faces of many people in the prisoners turned into hesitation and fear.
They followed their servants to wipe out the horse thieves. They were not afraid, but they took the lead and asked them to give up.
"Grandmaster, Wang Ding is willing to go."
Wang Ding did not hesitate at all. He took the lead and took the lead. He was just fighting with the horse thief. At worst, he would die. Anyway, he had eaten a lot of food and never wanted to starve again.
"Who else is willing to go? Let's stand up at this time and I will give him this opportunity!"
Gao Jin looked at the prisoners of the government army. He knew that there was someone to choose Dong Bufang, but he didn't have time to tell him, but he wanted to see if there were anyone among the prisoners of the government army as brave as Wang Ding.
"Master, I'm willing to go too."
As soon as Gao Jin finished speaking, someone spoke, and then three people stood up from the prisoners. They were about the same age as Wang Ding, and they were thin, but their faces had the spirit that other prisoners did not have.
"Old Dong, take them to have a good meal and give them some clothes."
After Gao Jin waited for the four of them to stand up, he waited for a while. Seeing that no one among the prisoners had left, he called Dong Bufang, saying that he was not too hungry, not to mention that he would indeed let Wang Ding and the other two take the lead in this battle and try their quality.
Wang Ding and the other prisoners followed Dong Bufang. They were both envious and worthless when they saw them. They envied them for eating meat, but they were dangerous in the lead and would be too worthless if they died.
Gao Jin turned around and left without looking at the remaining official army. Grandpa Qi's military book said that the soldiers should choose those who are brave, otherwise no matter how good the martial arts are, it would be useless to go into battle.
These remaining prisoners of the government army are naturally not suitable for war, so there is no need to force them. They just need to work honestly in the future.
The Huo Tou Jun, who was responsible for cooking, originally kept the mutton privately and planned to enjoy it secretly, but when Dong Bufang brought Wang Ding over, he could only bring out all the rest in the pot and let them eat it.
"Just treat it as a meal for them to eat."
Lao Fan is the leader of several Huotou Army and has a good idea of regulating food. He looked at Wang Ding eating meat and drinking soup like a starving ghost, and cursed in his heart.
"This time I pretended that I didn't see it, and I would keep it privately, so I'll take care of your skin."
Dong Bufang cursed at Lao Fan sinisterly that although the fire-headed army in the army is not at a high level, the leader has always been cunning. Lao Fan looked red and probably took advantage of food a lot during this period.
"Don't worry, the villain will definitely keep an eye on them in the future and will not call them..."
"Bang!"
Seeing that Lao Fan was still trying to argue, Dong Bufang slapped him in the face and said, "If I don't know your tricks, I'll kill you if I believe it or not."
"The villain dares not, the villain dares not."
Lao Fan covered his face and did not dare to talk nonsense anymore. He just said carefully. The few subordinates beside him felt relieved when he looked at it.
Soon, Dong Bufang led Wang Ding and others to leave. Seeing that the big pot was not left with half a drop of mutton soup, Lao Fan muttered, "This group of killers is not afraid of killing them."
After changing to the black clothes of the servants, Wang Ding and others were also in the same tent and fell asleep next to each other. The other servants knew that they were going to take the lead, but no one said anything strange, but they didn't deal with them.
Soon two and a half hours passed. After Wang Ding and his friends were awakened by their servants, they followed them out of the camp. Gao Jin led his own horse team outside, and his friends immediately took torches to light up the camp.
After four teams of servants lined up to report the number, they lined up in a column, connecting front and back, and then headed out of the valley. Wang Ding and the other two followed with Dong Bufang's shout.
The night was dark, and even if the horse team lit torches in front of each other, it could illuminate one or two meters in front of them, but it was enough for the servants to march in the darkness. Compared to the last night attack, the servants seemed to be more organized this time, and Gao Jin's friends seemed extremely at ease.
