"It's not good! It's not good! Master Yu, our sentries are all missing!"
Early the next morning, the official responsible for assigning sentry posts hurried to Yu Gao, his usually rosy face turning pale.
They set up a total of six sentries on the mountainside and two at the foot of the mountain, with a total of seventy-three people in eight sentries.
However, overnight, eight sentries were deserted, and all seventy-three people were missing. They searched all over the mountain, but could not find even one person to ask questions...
"Seventy-three people! What a living people! How come they didn't even make a sound? Could it be that these silent people have been taken away by ghosts?"
Although the official was anxious, he also knew that the people on the mountain were unstable and this matter could not be publicized. Therefore, even though he was so excited, he did not yell.
However, Yu Gao's face turned pale after hearing what he said.
Where are there so many ghosts and weird things in this world? Even ghosts should scream a little bit, right?
Without further ado, Yu Gao immediately rushed to the mountainside with a dozen of his cronies and the official in charge of the sentry.
Whether it's the temporary stands at the sentry post, the fires used to light barbecues, or the grasslands and woods in the mountains...
Nothing strange...
There were no horseshoes on the ground, the stands were not damaged, and even the fire burned out naturally without any trace of damage.
It can be said that before checking these sentry posts, Yu Gao felt that this must have been done by the Beiliang Cavalry. After all, who else besides them would attack Yanshan?
However, after seeing all this, he was a little unsure.
Since the Beiliang cavalry could quietly eliminate their outposts, why not attack directly on the top of the mountain and catch them off guard?
Yu Gao didn't understand, and at the same time he was scolding Xiao Xiruo over and over again in his heart for declaring war but not taking action, leaving them with no choice but to guess.
"That's all. Send more people to stand guard tonight, and at the same time tell them to keep an eye on the mountain and never neglect their duties. Do you understand?"
When the official saw what Yu Gao said, he immediately patted his chest and promised that he would send half the extra manpower to ensure that what happened last night would not happen again.
Yu Gao did not express any opinion on his guarantee, but returned to the cave worriedly.
At the same time, the rebels who were knocked unconscious last night also woke up from randomly built thatched huts, rubbing their dull necks one by one.
The moment they opened their eyes, what they saw was no longer the playful and fair-weather friends on the rock mountain, but the Beiliang soldiers standing in front of their beds holding whips, looking at them with half-smiling faces.
Before they could even react to what was going on, the whip fell on their heads and faces, causing them to hold their heads and shrink, causing their brains to short-circuit.
Where are they?
Why are they here?
Are they really not dreaming?
Finally, the leader of the team sneered and said in a bad tone:
"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Now go out of the house immediately and line up, let us go to the fields to harvest rice! If anyone dares to be lazy, I will kill him immediately!"
Seeing that the whip was about to fall again, a group of rebels immediately rushed out of the house and stood still as the captain wanted.
Only then did they realize that there were no rocks and mountains in front of them, only the endless rice fields that required their efforts.
And every day they work hard here, a group of acquaintances will join them with ashen faces...
As the saying goes, those who come before will lead those who will follow. By the time they work in the fields on the third day, they actually have younger brothers too.
But are they happy?
Looking at the two tasteless white steamed buns in the bowl, they really had no energy left except to curse the demon concubine who caught them doing their job.
"You've lost one hundred and eighty people in one day. It's only been a few days. You've already kidnapped one-tenth of the people on Yanshan Mountain, right?"
Xiao Xiruo leisurely pointed out her negative income and expressed her great recognition of her Ayan's earning ability.
At the same time, she also sympathized with Yu Gao on Yanshan Mountain, because there were fewer people under his command every day, but you just didn't know how to lose people. It was really a bit subtle.
From the tens of thousands of negative emotions Yu Gao sent her every day, she could see the other person's collapse and speechlessness.
And this is not the most damaging thing about Feng Wuyan. The most damaging thing is that he not only tormented Yu Gao alone, but also helped Yu Gao to make this matter bigger and completely mess up Yanshan.
For example, only the rebels were captured in the past two days, which made Yu Gao and others worry and hide it.
On the third day, the officials in charge of the sentry were arrested together, so Yu Gao had to try his best to lie in order to hide it from most people on the mountain.
On the fourth day, he directly ordered people to go up the mountain and capture Yu Gao's good friend Fan Lin. Now Yu Gao could not hide it even if he wanted to.
Because no matter how stupid those stupid officials are, they still know that there is a big shot missing from the mountain! Combined with the reports from their subordinates, saying that the brothers who went to the sentry post have not returned in the past few days, the matter suddenly exploded!
The rebels on Yanshan Mountain were a mob, and Yu Gao wasted a lot of effort in making them obedient. If he hadn't had some prestige among these people, he wouldn't have been able to control them at all.
However, with his men disappearing frequently and Concubine Xiao eyeing them covetously, Yu Gao's prestige was completely inadequate.
"Divide the troops? Divide what troops? These troops cannot be divided! Once we are separated, the Beiliang cavalry will fight whenever they want. Can you stop them?"
In the Yanshan cave, Yu Gao's eyes turned red with anger as he looked at the group of officials in front of him who were about to divide their troops. He could no longer control his temper.
When Xiao Xiruo declared war on them, there was still a foreign invasion, but it had only been a few days? The external invasion was not resolved, but the internal crisis came first!
"Can't they be separated? Why can't they be separated? You, Yu Gao, are hiding everything, and you don't even want to tell us about the missing soldiers? What? This rock mountain is already yours?"
"If you can solve this disappearance case, we will naturally continue to follow you. It has been six days, and we have already lost eight to nine hundred people, including General Fan, who is highly skilled in martial arts!"
"That's right! You should come up with an explanation and let us continue to follow you!"
…
statement?
Apart from scolding Xiao Xiruo for his vicious methods that make people hard to guard against, what other clear method could Yu Gao have?
But even if there is no clear way to prevent his men from disappearing, this division of troops is definitely a top-notch trick that can completely defeat this group of people.
However, no matter how much he tried to persuade him, and no matter how many reasons he said, there were always people in the team who opposed him.
If there is one person who is against it, there will naturally be a second person who is against it.
So at dusk, Yu Gao could only watch as officials from various places took their own soldiers, divided into Wu Army, Qin Army, Ping Army, etc., and sparsely left the station.
Since then, the Yanshan rebels have completely lost their threat and become nothing more than a young man who can be pulled away at any time in Feng Wuyan's eyes.
