Chapter 305 Friends and Foes

It took him a long time to report, but the second general did not answer.

The principal waited for a while, a little impatient, and when he looked up again, Ji Xian waved his hand, and an attendant came up, holding out a plate of gold, silver and jewels in front of the principal.

"This is a reward for you." Jiqi said in a deep voice, "Go back now, if you have follow-up news, report it at any time, and I will definitely have more rewards."

"Yes! Yes! It is said that the two generals are bold...it is true!"

The little schoolboy was overjoyed, came up to grab the gold beads, put them in his bosom, accidentally dropped a few gold picks to the ground, and then quickly crawled on the ground to touch them.The attendant carrying the tray couldn't stand the greedy look, so he simply took a cloth bag, poured all the remaining gold beads into the bag, and then patted the bag into the hands of the little principal.

The little school thanked Ji Qi and Ji Xian for their generosity as he backed away from the tent of the Chinese army.

Walking halfway, Ji Qi called him back again: "These properties cannot be revealed in front of people for the time being, if the news gets out because of this, then Guo Yaoer will kill people, I can't rescue you!"

The small school responded repeatedly, and thanked him again and again.

When his figure disappeared outside, Ji Qi summoned his attendants: "In the past few days, lead someone to keep a close eye on this guy."

The attendant took orders and went.

On the side, Ji Xian chuckled: "Guo Yao'er puts on an unreasonable saintly appearance all day long, so it turns out that his subordinates are also greedy for money."

Jiqi asked all the attendants to go out, and then shook his head: "Since this guy colluded with Guo Ning, he might sacrifice Mizhou at any time, and use my brother's head as a way to advance! Fortunately, he The subordinates are greedy for property and come here to inform! Otherwise, you and I are afraid that we will become dead ghosts without knowing it!"

"After all, it's not enough to be a colleague?" Ji Xian hesitated: "Guo Yaoer is not the kind of ruthless person, and Guo Ning also made an agreement with Marshal Yang..."

Thorn Seven clapped the table hard: "What agreement? The situation at that time, hey..."

He held back a few words, and continued: "Can the agreement be trusted? Let me tell you, Guo Ning is planning to seize our Mizhou when Marshal Yang is about to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and has no time for foreign affairs! Otherwise, how can we explain that?" The people who are assigned to the navy don’t come early or late, but they come in these few days... are they still doing big construction work in Banqiao Town?"

"It's bitter." Ji Xian's face changed, and he panicked: "Then what should we do? Is it too late to send someone to report to Marshal Yang?"

"It's natural to send someone to report, but... Guo Yaoer is a close friend who followed Marshal Yang to the northern border. We only rely on the confession of this small school, which is not enough. If Marshal Yang doesn't believe us, we Wouldn't he become Guo Yaoer's thorn in the side and a thorn in his flesh?"

"what do you mean?"

"Isn't Guo Yaoer waiting for Dinghai's food and fodder soldiers to fund it? We sent people to keep an eye on it. Once we found Dinghai's transport team, we would send troops to rob it! We robbed property, arrested people, got evidence and returned to Zhucheng... Then arrest Guo Yaoer! Take him first, seize his military power, and then report to Marshal Yang!"

"This……"

Ji Xian knew that Ji Qi had always indulged soldiers. Since he came to Mizhou, he had clashed with Guo Yaoer several times over various trivial matters about military discipline, and several people were killed in the process.He came up with such an idea, is it really not public revenge?

He also knew that Ji Qi and himself were not Yang An'er's direct descendants.In the early years, the two were subordinates of Liu You, a hero in Pizhou, who were responsible for protecting smuggling caravans.Later, Liu You was defeated and killed, and the two were taken care of by Yang An'er, and they formed a team by themselves.

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 reap any benefits.When they attacked Binzhou before, many of their men died, and Ji Qi attacked the city in the middle of the night, half of his face was burned by torches.And the final result was that his family was short of soldiers and horses, his status in front of the marshal declined, and he was thrown to Mizhou to eat the sea breeze.

If they can really seize the evidence of Guo Yaoer'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 [-] under Marshal Yang's command, right?With such power, it should be taken seriously.Isn't it appropriate to take Mizhou from Yang An'er as a reward?

Just as Ji Xian was thinking of this, Thorn Seven took a half step forward:

"After the matter is completed, Mizhou will be in charge of you. We will divide the supplies given by the navy and the soldiers and horses of Guobai'er. After Marshal Yang ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, there will be more officials and generous rewards. In Mizhou, With you as the leader and I as deputy second, we will work together to occupy Mizhou and resist Guo Ning! How about it?"

Ji Xian murmured: "I'm afraid that Guo Yao'er's soldiers and horses will not be able to be recruited. Without these good men, they will not be able to withstand Guo Ning."

Ji Qi laughed loudly: "Why is Guo Yaoer's soldiers and horses not easy to recruit? Didn't we see it just now? Who wouldn't be tempted by gold, silver, and silk?"

Up to this point, neither of them mentioned whether Yang An'er would be dissatisfied by this blatantly taking the opportunity to annex the tribe.Because of this kind of merger, it is already the norm under Yang An'er's command. If you raise doubts about this, it will be abnormal.

Ji Xian thought about it for a while, and finally nodded.

Jiqi gritted his teeth and said: "Then I will prepare soldiers and horses, and then assign fine manpower to investigate the movement of Banqiao Town!"

Thinking of the benefits he was about to get, his face flushed, and the scar on his face that had been burned by the fire was even more red and purple.

The supplies from Dinghai came very quickly, and only six days later, the small school who came to inform the news came the news that tomorrow was the time when Dinghai and Guo Yaoer agreed to hand over the supplies.

In the direction of Banqiao Town, the surveillance people arranged by Jiqi also sent news that a convoy came from Mizhou along the Dagu River and had already arrived in the town.The convoy is not small, all of them are heavily loaded, accompanied by two or three hundred guards.

Ji Qi and Ji Xian were overjoyed, Ji Qi ordered more than a thousand soldiers and horses to leave the camp immediately, only saying that they were going out for training.After leaving the city, he went straight to Banqiao Town.But Ji Xian only assigned his subordinates, one to strictly guard his own barracks, and the other to firmly guard the north gate of Zhucheng.

Guo Yaoer was completely unprepared for this move.

It wasn't until the next morning that he noticed that the little school that had been running around to serve him suddenly disappeared, and he couldn't find it anywhere.One or two deserters in the army is a trivial matter, just grab a few strong men to fill them up, but this small school knows the secrets of the army quite well, its identity is really unusual!
Guo Yaoer hurriedly sent someone to investigate, and only after this investigation did he discover that the whereabouts of the two were mysterious.

Only then did he realize that something had gone wrong in his army.This is troublesome...

Ji Qi and Ji Xian, these two bastards, I originally thought that I would take the benefits and share them with his family, but I never thought that his family would turn their heads first!
In such a situation, special means must be used!Guo Yaoer is a battle-tested man, not a pedantic scholar, he did not hesitate at all, and immediately led the army to attack Ji Qi and Ji Xian's camp.

There was a sudden chaos in Zhucheng County.The two soldiers and horses were originally in the same robe and had the same banner, but suddenly they were fighting among themselves, and there was no way to fight.In an instant, fires broke out everywhere in the city, and black smoke rose.The two armies shouted and cursed at each other, killing each other.

Some soldiers were newly recruited. Although they were divided into two armies, they were fellow villagers or even related to each other.But at this time, the officer brandished a knife to force him, and he had to fight.

Those with better skills straightened out their long spears, pointed at the enemy's chest and abdomen, and stabbed in, piercing through the body and protruding from the back waist.

The person who was shot was hanging on the gun barrel and twitched again and again, cursing to himself: "Damn it, we are relatives! We are relatives!"

Half an hour into the fierce battle, several streets were strewn with corpses, the blood of the soldiers was flowing, and the corpses were all wearing similar red coats.Guo Yaoer's troops were much stronger than Ji Xian's troops in terms of combat effectiveness and troops. The city gate controlled by Ji Xian's troops first changed hands, and then they were forced to approach the camp. Seeing that they were about to win, Ji Xian's troops still stubbornly resisted.

This guy is nothing more than waiting for Thorn Seven to lead his troops back to help!

Guo Yaoer's face was ashen, holding the knife himself, and was about to command the general attack.

At this time, someone rushed over and reported out of breath: "Dutong, a caravan has arrived at the city gate!"

Guo Yaoer was taken aback: "Caravan? Dinghai, ah no, the caravan of the Song people in the Southern Dynasty? They were not blocked by Ji Qi? Are the two sides going astray? Good, very good!"

This caravan is the first batch of supplies obtained by the cooperation between Guo Yaoer and Ding Haijun, which is of great significance.Guo Yaoer was a little happy, he didn't care to besiege Ji Xian's barracks, and hurried to the city gate to meet him.

When they arrived at the gate of the city, they saw a long queue of carts, and in the front cart sat a handsome young man in a brocade robe.It's just that his face was covered with blood, and the brocade robe was torn in several places, exposing the iron armor underneath.Looking at the guards on both sides of the cart at the back, there are also many wounded, some with heads hanging around their waists, and all of them have murderous looks in their eyes.

In front of this young man in brocade robe, there are short spears on the left and right.On the short gun on the left, there is also a human head dangling.

Guo Yaoer glanced at it, and hurried forward to take another look.On the face of the head, there was a huge burn scar, which was very conspicuous.

"This is Thorn Seven? Is he dead?" Guo Yaoer murmured.

"The heads have all been chopped off, how could they still be alive?" Young Master Jinpao smiled and said, "Dutong, we are old friends, and it will be easy for you to get rid of your enemy. You don't need to thank me."

Guo Yaoer looked at the young man in brocade robe, he was also a local hero, an acquaintance of Guo Yaoer.

"You are Gao Xin and Gao Langjun from Jiuxian Mountain! No wonder you haven't been seen these days, so you have chosen a good boss and become Ding Haijun's subordinate?"

Gao Xin said seriously: "Dutong, don't talk nonsense, we... ahem, we are the caravan of the Song Kingdom in the Southern Dynasty!"

Guo Yaoer stood at the gate of the city, listening to the continuous fighting in the city, and fell silent for a long time.

It wasn't until his soldiers became restless that he nodded: "That's right, you are a caravan from the Song Kingdom in the Southern Dynasty."
