"Does it say that you are in robes? You are in the same comrade with me. The king of the army was established, and I am the same spear, and I am the same enemies as you! How do you say that you are in robes? You are in the same vein with me. The king of the army was established, and I am the same spear, and I am the same sling, and I am the same sling with me! How do you say that you are in robes? You are in the same vein with me. The king of the army was established, and I am the same armor, and I am the same vein with me..."

The military song was loud, and 26,000 people sang "National Feng, Qin Feng, Wuyi" in unison in the wilderness outside Tongwan City, singing passionately and sharing the same hatred of the enemy.

In fact, he sang "National Style, Qin Feng, Wuyi" as a military song was suggested by Wu Haogu to Murong Wangyou in his early years, and it was a tradition of the Military Academy. Later, he was brought to the Sanzhi Imperial Guard by the knights in front of the palace, and now it has become the military song of the new military soldiers.

Singing after breakfast every day is just a routine matter. Even though Taiwei Gao was sick, Yang Keshi and Yang Kebi, who were in charge of the training on his behalf, did not make any changes.

But someone who heard these more than 20,000 people sing in unison seemed to be interested.

After rushing all night, Hou Meng, who was sleepy in the carriage, suddenly lifted the curtain and revealed a very sleepy face.

Then he saw the shocking scene.

Countless people lined up on the grassland, tidy and mighty, and seemed invincible. They formed a square formation of five hundred people, placed on both sides of the official road. Standing in the front row were all spearmen, wearing iron armor, wearing trunks, holding spears more than ten feet long, and the tips of the spears shone with a terrifying light in the morning light.

The officers were also dressed neatly, pressing their hands on their waists and walking back and forth in front of the square formations. This temperament and strength are different from the waste imperial guards in Kaifeng Prefecture!

"Is this the Gao family army?" Hou Meng murmured in a low voice, his face becoming more and more gloomy.

This is very wrong!

This is a demonstration to myself! I happened to be in Tongwan today, so Gao Qiu asked so many soldiers and generals to sing "Wuyi" on the grassland, and they also had hatred with me, worked with me, and walked with me... Who is this "Zi"? Isn't it Gao Qiu and Taiwei Gao? Are these soldiers trained by Gao Qiu to make trouble with me?

Hou Meng was actually not a civil servant who was difficult to serve, and he didn't like to bully military generals. In history, when Gao Yongnian died in battle and Zhao Ji took the blame for the eighteen generals of the Western Army, he was ordered to arrest him. After arriving in the northwest, he took the initiative to submit a memorial to speak good things, which exempted the "crime" of the Western Army generals.

But this does not mean that Hou Meng will tolerate the resistance of the military generals. If Gao Qiu surrenders and admits his mistakes, even if he really causes a border quarrel, Hou Meng will find a way to excuse him. The so-called frank confession is lenient! But Gao Qiu is resisting now, and resistance must be strict!

Knowing that he and Wu Haogu were coming, they took sick leave. They must have wanted to hide and not cooperate with the investigation!

He also instructed his soldiers to conduct demonstrations on the grassland... How could the Song Dynasty allow such a general? Even if he did not provoke border provocations, he would have to study his book!

"Civil Secretary Hou, how about these soldiers? A certain family is Taiwei Gao, right? It's only been so many days, and the momentum has risen. OK! There are 25,600 combat soldiers now. This is really easy to shake the mountain, but it's difficult to shake the Gao family's army!"

Wu Haogu's voice sounded in Hou Meng's ears again. It turned out that Wu Haogu had already gotten up from his carriage, rode a tall horse, and arrived at the side of Hou Meng's carriage. While riding a horse, he also excitedly praised Gao Qiu in front of Hou Meng.

Taiwei Gao, who was hiding in the mansion, pretending to be sick, would definitely faint if he heard Wu Haogu's words.

However, Wu Haogu didn't care about Gao Qiu's crying and fainting... and he also knew that Gao Qiu, and Tong Guan behind Gao Qiu was not so easy to bully.

Tong Guan is one of the six thieves, a famous mother! She is an existence that can play tricks with Cai Jing.

...

"Gao Shiyan, the Liao people said that you led these 20,000 troops to defeat more than 10,000 Heqing Army and killed 500 Seshi Army. Is this a matter?"

Hou Meng has already met Gao Qiu who is "resisting strictness".

Although he was ill, he still resigned as the deputy envoy of the Shuofang Road Administration and the general manager of the military commander. It was not that easy, and the official Zhao Ji may not have approved it!

Therefore, we cannot hide from the crowd. Among the officials who welcome Hou Meng, he ranks third, second only to Tong Guan and Quanfa Shuofang Road Transportation Commissioner Xue Sichang.

After entering Tong Guan’s lobby, Hou Meng did not greet him and became the subject with a calm face.

"It's unfair!" Gao Qiu looked aggrieved, "I am not only me, but no one knew that the Khitans were beaten by us in the entire Shuofang Road... Although our Shuofang Road borders the Khitan, it is calm everywhere and there is no friction at all. If the fight really starts, will it still be like this?"

"Yes, this is not the case at all!"

"It is nonsense to send 20,000 troops. If 20,000 troops are dispatched, how much reward will you get..."

"It's even more nonsense to kill a 500-seam army. How many houses do you have to change to the heads of 500 Khitans?"

"I have no house to change!"

"Can you defeat the Khitan without a house? It's impossible! Censor, please investigate clearly!"

Gao Qiu was indeed full of followers! As soon as he said that, the generals below agreed.

Hou Meng's eyes circulated, and he brought the performance of the generals in the lobby to his eyes, and his impression of Gao Qiu was a little worse.

Now Gao Qiu is not only suspected of engaging in border provocations, but also has his own troops! This is a greater crime than engaging in border provocations...

In addition, Gao Qiu didn't look sick, but he was a little listless. It seemed that he was mostly pretending to be sick and resisting! This attitude was quite bad!

Tong Guan smiled and said, "Our family thinks that the Khitans just want to use this excuse to involve our Shuofang Road army in place, so as not to advance to Xingling... Now the Western Front is in the Qin Wangchuan! If Shuofang Road can use a large army to cross the vast sea to fight westward, the Western thieves will probably be destroyed soon."

The battle between Qin Wangchuan had already shown signs of a protracted war. Both sides were in the deep ditch and high base of Qin Wangchuan, and they dared not fight easily. For the army on Hexi Road, it was nothing to fall deep ditch and high base of deep ditch and high base of the problem, and the logistics transfer was very difficult.

Hexi Road has no territory and population, so it is impossible to raise troops, food and civilians by itself. He had no choice but to bear the burden. Xihe Road only has a lot of reserves in Lanzhou. After the reserves are exhausted, he had to transfer from other places. Due to the difficult roads and the high transportation cost, Li Bozong, the Shaanxi Transportation Engineer who was responsible for the transfer of Xihe Road, was almost dying. He refused to report to Xihe River and the Jingyuan Treasury was empty and difficult to maintain.

After Tong Guan learned about the difficulties of Hexi and Xihe, he wanted to go out across the vast sea with a side force to make a fortune. If Gao Yongnian won in Qin Wangchuan, the Shuofang Army would have a contribution to assisting the war, and maybe he could also take down Xingqing Prefecture! If Gao Yongnian was defeated, then Shuofang Road would not suffer any losses.

However, the news that "Gao Qiu was arbitrarily provoked the border" from the court involved Tong Guan. It made him unable to send troops across the Hanhai. After all, the situation where the Liao Kingdom might go south at any time was really scary.

At the same time, the southwest part of Liao Kingdom's Liao Dynasty seemed very quiet, and there was no action to cross the border and harass him at all. It seemed that he was really afraid of Gao Qiu...

This made Tong Guan a little confused.

"What the envoy said makes sense," Hou Meng nodded slightly, "but I came here according to the order, so I naturally had to investigate... If I can't find out the truth, the official will tell you."

"That's, that's it." Tong Guan smiled, "If you check it! If you check it!

The general order of our family is told, no matter what the Censor Hou asked, the generals of Shuofanglu must answer truthfully. If there is any concealment, our family will definitely not forgive him!"

"Here!"

The generals in the hall answered one after another.

Hou Meng's eyes swept through these people one by one and found that most of them were very young. Not to mention the mature generals in their forties and fifties, there were not even many people over thirty!

You should know that those who are qualified to visit Hou Meng in the lobby of the Department are at least an ambassador, and some even have ranks of officials who are rampant.

Judging from their age, they should be from the Knights in front of the Palace and the Dragon King, right? They climbed to their current position at a young age, and Gao Qiu's promotion is indispensable?

Needless to say, these people must be Gao Qiu’s followers!

It doesn't matter whether Gao Qiu has a stubborn border provocation. What's important is that he is holding his own troops, and the military soldiers in the palace seem to be not as good as they imagined!

...

"Dolf, Dalang, you have to say good things to me at the official house!"

Hou Meng had left Tong Guan's Division and moved into the inn in Tongwancheng. He was there to ask the officers above the central generals of the Shuofang Army (called generals) and asked separately!

God knows what those people would say to Hou Meng? Gao Qiu, who was discussing the military affairs, was obviously a little confused. Fang Cun, like the young officers in Shuofang Army, both rose too fast and had not experienced many years of official experience, so he was naturally prone to panic when encountering things.

Moreover, he was a little scared by himself, thinking that Zhao Ji, the official, became suspicious because he "had tens of thousands of troops". This is what the generals of the Song Dynasty feared the most.

If I had known that I wouldn’t have trained so many soldiers, so I would take them away when I saw it. Wouldn’t it be better to go back to Kaifeng Prefecture to be a rich man?

"I heard you want to resign?" Wu Haogu frowned and said, "Brother Gao, isn't this good? Just as the Censor Hou came, you should resign..."

"You don't understand, you don't understand..." Gao Qiu waved his hand, "The opening of the provocation is false, but we have gone too far in the training of new government soldiers. The military officers of the Song Dynasty cannot do this! Brother, I was confused and too aggressive before, and now I am just taking the opportunity to resign. Even if I receive a little punishment, how many levels will be reduced? As long as I can send these 20,000 to 30,000 government soldiers, it's worth it. Dalang, you must be careful. Although you can't fight, you have many warriors around you, and Jiehe Market!"
