It took him a long time to report, but the two generals at the top did not respond.
The principal waited for a long time, feeling a little impatient. When he looked up again, he saw Ji Xian waved his hand, and an attendant came up and brought out a plate of gold and silver jewelry in front of the principal.
"This is a reward for you." Ji Qi said in a deep voice: "Go back and report back at any time if you have any further news. I will definitely have more rewards."
"Yes! Yes! They say the two generals are generous... and it is indeed true!"
The little schoolmaster was so happy that he came up to grab the gold beads and put them in his arms. He accidentally dropped a few gold pearls on the ground and hurriedly knelt on the ground to touch them. The attendant holding the plate couldn't bear to see this.
Looking greedy, he simply took a cloth bag, poured the remaining gold beads into the cloth bag, and then patted the cloth bag into the hands of the principal.
The principal stepped back outside the Chinese army's tent with great gratitude. As he backed away, he praised Ji Qi and Ji Xian's generosity.
Halfway through, Ji Qi called him back again: "These belongings cannot be exposed in front of others for the time being. If word gets out about this, Guo Jia'er will kill someone, and I won't be able to save you!"
The primary school teacher responded repeatedly and thanked him profusely.
After his figure disappeared outside, Ji Qi called his attendants over and said, "In the past few days, I will lead people to keep a close eye on this guy."
The attendant took the order and went.
Next to him, Ji Xian chuckled: "Guo Yao'er has been acting like an unhuman saint all day long, but it turns out that his subordinates are also greedy for money."
Ji Qi asked all the attendants to go out, and then shook his head: "Since this guy colluded with Guo Ning, I don't know when he will sacrifice Mizhou and use my brother's head as a way to enter the body! Fortunately, he
My subordinates are greedy for property, so come and report! Otherwise, I’m afraid you and I will both become dead ghosts without knowing it!”
"After all, it won't be a big deal if you are a colleague?" Ji Xian hesitated: "Guo Yao'er is not the kind of ruthless person. Guo Ning also made an agreement with Marshal Yang..."
Ji Qi slapped the table hard: "What agreement? The situation at that time, hey..."
He held back half a sentence and continued: "Can you believe the agreement? Let me tell you, Guo Ning is planning to take advantage of the fact that Marshal Yang is about to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor and has no time for foreign affairs to seize our Mizhou! Otherwise, how can we explain that?
The people who have arranged for the navy to come early or late, but in the past few days...are they still building a lot of construction in Banqiao Town?"
"This is bitter." Ji Xian's expression changed and he became a little panicked: "Then what should we do? Is it still too late to send someone to report to Marshal Yang?"
"It is natural to send someone to report, but... Guo Yao'er is a confidant who followed Marshal Yang to Northern Xinjiang. We only rely on the confession of this small school, which is not enough. If Marshal Yang doesn't believe us, we will
Wouldn’t it become a thorn in Guo Jie’er’s side and a thorn in his flesh?”
"you mean?"
"Isn't Guozhao'er waiting for Ding Haijun's food, fodder, and soldiers to support him? We sent people to keep a close eye on Ding Hai Hai's transportation team. Once we find Ding Hai Hai's transportation team, we will send troops to rob it! We robbed property, arrested people, and returned to Zhucheng with evidence...
Then arrest Guo Jiao'er! Take him first and seize his military power, and then report to Marshal Yang!"
"this……"
Ji Xian knew that Ji Qi had always indulged his soldiers. Since he came to Mizhou, he and Guo Yao'er had clashed several times over various minor matters regarding military discipline, and several lives had been lost in the process. It was really not right for him to come up with such an idea.
Avenging a private vendetta?
He also knew that neither Ji Qi nor himself were direct descendants of Yang An'er. In the early years, they were subordinates of Liu You, a hero from Pizhou, who were responsible for protecting the smuggling caravan. Later, Liu You was defeated and killed, and the two moved around.
With Yang An'er's care, he pulled up the team himself.
However, the size of the team is limited, and the strength is also limited, so even if Yang An'er raises troops, the two of them will not take turns to gain any benefits. When they attacked Binzhou before, many of their men died. Ji Qi attacked the city late at night, and half of them
His face was severely burned by the torches. The final result was that he was short of soldiers and horses, his status in front of the marshal was reduced, and he was thrown to Mizhou to eat the sea breeze.
If we can really seize the evidence of Guo Yao'er's rebellion, bring this guy down, and then annex his troops, the strength of the two of them will at least double, and they will probably rank among the top twenty under Marshal Yang, right? With such power,
, how should it be taken seriously? Isn’t it appropriate to take a Mizhou from Yang An’er as a reward?
When Ji Xian was thinking of this, Ji Qi took half a step forward:
"After the completion of the matter, Mizhou will be yours. We will divide the materials provided by the Navy and the soldiers and horses of Guo Jiaer 50-50. After Marshal Yang ascends the throne and becomes emperor, he will definitely be promoted to an official position and generously rewarded. Here in Mizhou,
With you as the leader and me as the second-in-command, we will work together to occupy Mizhou and resist Guo Ning! How about it?"
Ji Xian muttered: "I'm afraid it's hard to recruit Guo Jiao'er's troops. Without these good men, they won't be able to withstand Guo Ning."
Ji Qi laughed loudly: "Why can't Guo Jiao'er's soldiers and horses be easily collected? Didn't we just see that? Who wouldn't be tempted by gold, silver, money, and silk?"
Until this point, neither of them mentioned whether Yang An'er would be dissatisfied with such a blatant attempt to annex subordinates. This was because such mergers were the norm under Yang An'er. It would be abnormal to raise doubts about this.
Already.
Ji Xian thought about it for a while and finally nodded.
Ji Qi gritted his teeth and said: "Then I will prepare troops and horses, and then allocate fine manpower to explore the movements of Banqiao Town!"
Thinking of the benefits he was about to receive, his face flushed, and the scar on his face that was burned by the fire turned even redder and purple.
The supplies from Ding Haijun came very quickly. Only six days later, the junior colonel who came to inform them sent news that tomorrow was the day when Ding Haijun and Guo Yaoer agreed to hand over the supplies.
In the direction of Banqiao Town, the surveillance people arranged by Ji Qi also received news that a convoy was coming from the direction of Mizhou, along the Dagu River south, and had already arrived in the town. The convoy was not small, and they were all heavily loaded.
Yes, there are also two to three hundred guards.
Ji Qi and Ji Xian were overjoyed. Ji Xian immediately ordered more than a thousand soldiers and horses to leave the camp, saying that they were going out for training. After leaving the city, they went straight to Banqiao Town. Ji Xian only assigned subordinates, and some of them strictly guarded his own military camp.
, one group firmly held the north gate of Zhucheng.
Guo Jiaer was completely unprepared for this move.
It wasn't until the next morning that he noticed that the primary school boy who had been waiting around him suddenly disappeared and could not be found anywhere. It was a trivial matter for one or two deserters in the army to be filled by just grabbing a few strong men.
But this small school is quite aware of the secrets of the military. His identity is really unusual!
Guo Yao'er quickly sent people to investigate, and after this investigation, he discovered the mysterious whereabouts of the two.
Only then did he realize that there was something wrong in his army. This would cause trouble...
Ji Qi and Ji Xian, these two bastards, I originally thought that after taking the benefits, I would divide the profits between their families, but I never thought that their families would fall out first!
In such a situation, special means must be used! Guo Yao'er is a man who has been on the battlefield, not a pedantic scholar. He did not hesitate at all and immediately led his troops to attack Ji Qi and Ji Xian's camp.
Zhucheng County suddenly fell into chaos. The two armies were originally in the same robes and had the same flag. Suddenly, there was internal strife, and there was no way to fight. In an instant, fires broke out everywhere in the city, and black smoke rose. The two armies
They yelled and cursed at each other and killed each other.
Some soldiers were newly recruited. Although they were divided into two armies, they were from the same hometown and were even related to each other. But at this time, the officers forced them to fight with swords.
Some of the more skilled ones raised their spears, pointed them at the enemy's chest and abdomen, and pierced the enemy's body, emerging from the lower back.
The man who was shot hung on the barrel of the gun and twitched repeatedly, cursing to himself: "What a bastard, we are relatives! We are relatives!"
After a fierce battle for more than half an hour, corpses were scattered on several streets, and the blood of the soldiers was flowing. The corpses were all wearing similar red jackets. The combat effectiveness and military strength of Guo Yao'er's unit were much stronger than those of Ji Xian's unit, and Ji Xian's unit was
The city gate controlled by his troops first changed hands, and then they were forced to close to the camp. Seeing that they were about to win, Jixian's troops still resisted.
This guy is just waiting for Ji Qi to lead his troops to come back for reinforcements!
Guo Jiao'er, with a livid face, held the sword himself, waiting to direct the general attack.
At this time, someone rushed over and reported breathlessly: "Capital, a caravan has arrived at the city gate!"
Guo Yao'er was taken aback: "Caravan? Dinghai, oh no, the caravan of the Southern Song Dynasty? They were not intercepted by Ji Qi? Did the two sides go astray? Okay, great!"
This caravan was the first batch of supplies obtained from the cooperation between Guo Yao'er and Ding Haijun, which was of great significance. Guo Yao'er was a little happy and did not bother to besiege Jixian's military camp anymore, so he hurried to the city gate to greet them.
When they arrived at the gate of the city, they saw a long queue of carts, and on the cart at the front sat a handsome young man in a brocade robe. However, his face was covered in blood, and his brocade robe was torn in several places.
The armor underneath was exposed. Looking at the guards on both sides of the cart at the back, there were also many injured. Some of the guards had human heads hanging on their waists, and all of them had a murderous look in their eyes.
In front of the young master in brocade robes, there are short spears on the left and right. On the short spear on the left, there is also a human head hanging dangling.
Guo Jie'er glanced at it and quickly stepped forward to take another look. There was a huge burn scar on the face of the head, which was very conspicuous.
"Is this Ji Qi? Is he dead?" Guo Yao'er murmured.
"My head has been chopped off, how can I still be alive?" Young Master Jinpao smiled and said, "Du Tong, we are old friends. I can help you get rid of your enemy with just a little effort. You don't need to thank me."
Guo Yao'er looked at the young master in brocade robes. He was actually a local hero and an acquaintance of Guo Yao'er.
"You are Gao Xin, Gao Langjun from Jiuxian Mountain! No wonder I haven't seen you these days. Turns out you chose a good boss and became a subordinate of Ding Haijun?"
Gao Xin said seriously: "Du Tong, don't talk nonsense, we... ahem, we are the caravan of the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty!"
Guo Yao'er stood at the city gate, listening to the sounds of fighting that continued in the city, and was silent for a long time.
It wasn't until his own soldiers became a little restless that he nodded: "Yes, you are the caravan of the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties."
