Chapter 202 Armament Powerhouse
"Who! The military is in a strong position, you must not trespass!" Two patrol soldiers stopped Murong Sichen with guns and shouted coldly.
Murong Sichen nodded secretly, with a blank expression on his face: "I am here to find General Gongsun Lie and Gongsun."
"Can there be a token?"
Murong Sichen shook his head and signaled that he did not, but took out a jade pendant: "I was sent by His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness the Crown Prince is still on the way, so let us go first to understand some things and understand the public opinion. This is His Highness the Crown Prince's jade pendant, and you can give it to General Gongsun for a look."
The two soldiers looked at each other, and after a while, one soldier took him over and turned to the schoolyard.
Seeing that he was heading towards the school grounds, not the lobby, Murong Sichen nodded secretly.
Soon, the soldier came back with his jade pendant and welcomed Murong Sichen in.
Murong Sichen met Gongsun Lie for the first time at the school.
Before coming, Murong Sichen had investigated Gongsun Lie. It was rumored that he was a good man, but his military management methods were excellent. He was just too busy with people and did not have the temper of ordinary soldiers, and he had a weak sense of existence in the officialdom.
What's more, border areas like this have always been ruled by both civil and military officials and disliked each other. Here, it is because Gongsun Lie was too "weak" and was suppressed. There was basically nothing else except the soldiers under his command.
Seeing Gongsun Lie who was training with his upper body and the soldiers, Murong Sichen couldn't help but feel emotion.
His body was full of strong muscles, dark skin, soaked in sweat, and was covered with metallic luster. His body was covered with scars of all sizes, including new and old, which was a symbol of honor for soldiers.
Gongsun Lie took a wet cloth and wiped off his sweat, put on his top, and looked at Murong Sichen happily: "I wonder what the messenger is doing here?"
Murong Sichen did not say anything, and the two of them had already left everyone behind when they spoke. Murong Sichen talked about the woman's affairs and said that it was not convenient for him to take action for the time being, so he wanted General Gongsun to solve it on his behalf.
It was just a small matter, and Gongsun Lie had no reason to refuse.
After such a small matter was handled, Murong Sichen said: "Now the border war has stopped, the war between the two armies has subsided, and the soldiers are basically no longer used. Why are the generals still training with the soldiers today? I still know the principle of raising troops for a thousand days to use troops for a while, but along the way, other barracks are not as hard-working as the generals."
If I hadn't known that I had come here temporarily, the news would have been impossible to be leaked. Otherwise, Murong Sichen would have thought that Gongsun Lie was deliberately showing it to him.
Gongsun Lie did not flatter the other party because he was the envoy of the prince, nor did he underestimate the man in front of him too much. So he smiled and said, "It's a thousand days to raise troops and use troops for a while. You can't go to the battlefield and then sharpen your guns? Second, you are stationed here. There is nothing to do on weekdays, so you can train with it. Third,..."
Gongsun Lie's voice sank slightly.
Murong Sichen raised his eyebrows, obviously there was something else in it.
Gongsun Lie chuckled with a hint of self-deprecation: "Actually, I'm not afraid of the messenger's jokes, and I can't hide this matter from it. Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince comes in person, I will do the same."
He sighed, but his expression was a little angry: "The messenger should also know that there are a group of bandits entrenched in the northwest for many years. They are strong and they usually rob the pipeline. We have sent troops several times, either the number of troops is large and there are no traces of bandits, or the number of troops is too small and the number of ambushing a few times, so I feel ashamed. I have been raising my energy for so long, so I have never seen it."
"So I can only strengthen my usual training and find out the traces of the bandits, just to catch them all..."
When Murong Sichen heard Gongsun Lie's words, he was really stunned. He should know? What should he know?
Judging from Gongsun Lie's meaning, it is obvious that the sand bandits have been entrenched here for a long time. Could it be that Gongsun Lie has reported it?
But the court did not receive any news at all, but... Murong Sichen touched his chin. According to the situation here, it is possible that the news was suppressed. According to the nature of this side, the news was either because local officials wanted to ensure their political achievements, or... it was because this nest of sand bandits were kept by the house.
A trace of searching appeared in Murong Sichen's eyes.
And Gongsun Lie in front of him was not as rumored, not understanding the worldly ways, or being too much of a bun.
He made himself understand the situation here in a few words, and also revealed some news. It was not something that Gongsun Lie could do in the rumor.
Murong Sichen's expression turned and said straight: "What the general means, the traces of the sand bandits have been found now? When will the general send troops?"
Gongsun Lie was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Murong Sichen to think of this, and took a deep breath. Gongsun Lie said decisively: "Indeed, the spy finally found the nest of the sand bandits not long ago, and we were about to destroy them in one fell swoop."
Even if they said it, it was nothing. They had planned to send troops tomorrow. Only a few senior generals knew about the entire plan, and they were all his confidants. As for the prince's envoy in front of them, it was obviously impossible for them to collude with the sand bandits.
After several times of failure, even if his mind is not flexible, he can still think of the traitors in the military camp. However, so many soldiers cannot investigate one by one. One is that they have no time, and the other is that they are easy to alarm the snake. Therefore, after finding the traces of the sand bandits, Gongsun Lie did not make a big fuss, but formulated a plan to suppress the bandits with his confidants.
Murong Sichen was obviously very curious: "To be honest with the general, I was born in the capital since I was a child and have not experienced the scene of going to war. If the general doesn't dislike it, can I bring me with me?"
Gongsun Lie cursed inwardly, saying that you are a yellow-sect man in the capital, you are a good student and you will be a member of the government. Why do you come here to do something here? War is not a joke, and you have never experienced it yet... Do you really think this is a playhouse! Although it is just a bandit suppression, how dangerous is that you, a thin scholar, can you understand?
It’s really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers! Even with Gongsun Lie’s temper, he couldn’t help but scold him in his heart.
