Before the battle, the gate outside Gucheng was sealed and no one was allowed in or out. The soldiers stationed at the city gate and the people who crossed the river came to the outside of the city gate. They could not go home and had nowhere to go, so they had to wait outside the city gate.
Gan Song and his group were quite eye-catching when a dozen or so beggars crossed the river and came to the shore. Gan Song motioned for everyone to spread out and not to get too concentrated and mix in with the homeless people.
"These beggars go to Gucheng to beg."
"Uncle, aren't you coming to Gucheng too!" Gan Song said.
"Gucheng is my home, where else can I go if I don't go home!" the uncle said, looking at the tall city gate.
"There's going to be a war here. You go out and hide for a few days and come back when the fighting is over!" Gan Song persuaded.
"We can't fight, and we can't win. The city gate will naturally open in a few days." The uncle waved his hands and said. His family and children were all in the city. When he went out of the city, he happened to be locked up outside the city. He had also encountered this before. After this situation, we can fight for a few days and then withdraw our troops.
Yunhua also told them to wait outside the city gate first, saying that the city gate would be released. When the time comes, they will sneak into the city to familiarize themselves with the environment in order to respond. The old man said: You can’t win! But that may not be the case. He, Gan Song, had seen Yunhua's talents before.
The soldiers on the banks of the Mihe River complained a lot, and privately everyone cursed Pavilion Chief Geshang for being faint and incompetent.
The commander-in-chief was an upright person. He had previously served as the commander-in-chief of the Ye family. He looked down upon the Ye family's condescending attitude. Today, he regretted asking for orders to fight. What a joke! He really couldn't stand it anymore and was not afraid of offending him, so he rushed directly into the long house of Geshang Pavilion. As soon as he entered the house, he was dumbfounded. The singing and dancing were flourishing, and the beautiful concubines were waiting on him. The wine in his throat was better than a dream.
"Get out of here, everyone!" Captain Du shouted angrily.
The two beauties panicked and fled the scene! The dancer and musician also left quickly for fear of getting angry.
Pavilion Chief Ge Shang was not annoyed at all, he just smiled and joked: "Why is Commander Du so ignorant of compassion? Why are you shouting like this? It's out of character!"
"Master Marquis! We have been stationed here for more than half a month. You... have violated military discipline all over the place!" Commander Du said with anger and dare not speak.
Pavilion Chief Ge Shang tidied up his loose clothes and said, "Why are you so serious! If you don't tell me if you don't tell anyone, how can anyone know if I don't tell you?"
I shouldn't have fallen for this dude's hypocrisy and eloquent words in the court in the first place. I thought what was being said outside was all an illusion, but I didn't expect that it was all his, mother's, pretense! He also issued a military order and vowed not to return until he took back Gucheng! I think he really doesn’t want to go back to Beijing! I want to have fun here for the rest of my life! What the hell! I cursed him a hundred times in my heart.
"When will the Marquis attack the city?" Commander Du didn't want to say a word to him.
"Wait a few more days!" Chief Ge Shangting said.
Gan Song waited for a long time but did not wait for the city gate to open. He even doubted whether Yun Hua had made a mistake!
Creak! The city gate is opened!
The soldiers and guards strictly inspected, "You! Well, let's go!" They checked one by one, and the beggars were not spared. "Where are the stinky beggars! You are not allowed to enter! Go! Go! Go!"
Gan Song was driven out, and the other people came forward and started to make trouble together, "Why don't you let us in?" He said that he was about to push in, but the soldiers pushed him hard. Gan Song deliberately fell to the ground and acted like a rogue. Come on, "Oh! It hurts me so much! You soldiers are so unreasonable. We lived there before! Now we won't be allowed to go back! Ah~ You're bullying people! Come and see that!" Hearing the commotion attracted many people People gathered around to watch.
While everyone was talking, an officer walked away from the crowd and asked, "What's going on!"
Gan Song seemed to have grasped the last straw. He knelt down and grabbed Yuan Hu's trouser legs, shouting: "Master! You have to make the decision for me! He won't let me go home!"
Yuan Hu looked disgusted, stretched out his leg and kicked Gan Song out. Gan Song was kicked out and rolled a few meters, "Let's go!"
Gan Song was successfully 'kicked' into the city. Gan Song scrambled to his feet and quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Mr. Guan! Thank you, Mr. Guan!"
Yuan Hu reprimanded the soldier guarding the door: "I asked you to check suspicious people, not to cause trouble for beggars!" In Yuan Hu's opinion, he was as thin as dry wood and frail, but he was just an ordinary beggar! I never thought it would be related to the military.
Gan Song and others successfully sneaked into Gucheng. They split up to find out the guard situation in the city. One of them was always ready to respond to Yunhua's team. The second and most important task was to spread the news to Gucheng. "Ge Shangting" The leader is stupid and incompetent and only knows how to enjoy himself. The soldiers in Daliang are extremely afraid of water and cannot walk by water! '
After arriving in the city and familiarizing themselves with the terrain, Gan Song and others seriously started working as beggars, walking among the beggars in the city. When everything was fine, everyone chatted for a few words, "Why haven't I seen you before?"
"I escaped from somewhere else!" Gan Song said.
"What are you doing here? There's going to be a war! Don't you know?" said a beggar.
"When the war started, you didn't care about us little people! Why didn't you escape and were still begging for food in the city?" Gan Song asked.
"It's safer in the city, but not outside the city! Daliang's soldiers come to fight several times almost every year, just to show off!" said the beggar.
"That's right! I came here begging from the other side of the river! The official in there seems to be quite a high-ranking official, and it's so fun to play and sing in there every night!" Gan Song said vividly.
"Really? This is all the official salary you get!" the beggar sighed.
Gan Song and the beggar were sitting under a tea tent nearby and chatting. Gan Song spoke in a high tone and deliberately let the people in the tea tent hear.
The efficiency of ten people was not low, and soon the criticism of Chief Ge Shangting's inaction and greed for pleasure spread to everyone.
Not surprisingly, it reached Xanthium's ears. Naturally, he not only listened to other people's gossip, he secretly ordered people to sneak across the Mi River to check the situation in the Daliang Army. It was really worse than that.
This was a city that was heavily guarded at first, but later treated as normal! The guards at night also relaxed. In the past, people on the city wall took turns to be on duty, but now one or two people were on duty until dawn. The two people on duty were also doing their jobs, and day after day passed like this.
The Daliang army across the Mi River was also completely discouraged and was doing nothing day by day. Hai Jinsha was also puzzled but did not dare to ask more questions. He was very loyal to Chief Ge Shangting and believed in Chief Ge Shang's ability as a person. It was not just what he saw on the surface. These, so for the time being, he didn't understand what happened, so why did he stay still? What also made him feel even more strange was that the boy Yun Hua didn't make any movement at all. The more something was wrong, the more something was going on here!
The commander-in-chief couldn't hold it in any longer, so he went straight to have a quarrel with Chief Ge Shangting, and scolded him bloody. Even if he was dismissed from his official position, he was not afraid.
Pavilion Chief Ge Shang did not lose his temper, as if he had already talked about this happening. He just said: "It's almost the same!" Chief Ge Shang said: "Since you want to fight so much, I will give you a thousand elite soldiers and go overland. Set off to attack Gucheng, start immediately!"
"Okay!" Commander Du said, you coward, you only gave me one thousand soldiers out of three thousand, huh! Are you leaving the eggs to hatch? I can hit even a thousand!
It takes four to five days to reach Gucheng by land, while it takes less than half an hour to reach Gucheng by water.
Three days after the commander-in-chief left, the wind suddenly picked up that night and blew straight along the Mihe River into the valley city.
