Chapter 46
"Xiaozhi passed by here, and happened to get the news that there are Taiping Road rebels gathering refugees, and they want to make an announcement in Tuke City. They are worried about the safety of the Seventh Young Master, so they come here to help!" Zhu Wen said softly, and winked at Li Wenhao after speaking.
"What does it mean to wink at me? Could it be that we know each other?" Li Wenhao couldn't figure it out, so he got off his horse and said, "With the help of Mr. Zhu, there just happened to be a celebration banquet today, let's have a drink together."
"I'm bothering you!" Zhu Wen didn't refuse, nodded in agreement, and turned to his subordinates: "Drag these traitors to the yard and interrogate them severely!"
"Follow the order!" Several Jinwu guards in black dragged Huijing and the others from the ground, and were about to take them away.
"General!" Hui Xin asked for help pitifully.
"Wait a minute, this is mine, you can't take it away!" Li Wenhao stared at the guy speechlessly, then looked at Zhu Wen and said.
Surprise flashed across Zhu Wen's eyes. He had heard that Li Wenhao had a calm personality, but he didn't expect him to be quite strong.
These days, not everyone has the guts to let the Jinwu Guard release people, let alone the rebellion of the Taipingdao, so they are not afraid of being implicated?
"Let him go!" Zhu Wen hesitated for a moment, but still waved his hand at his subordinates.
"Thank you!" Li Wenhao smiled and cupped his hands. Everyone was carrying the bridal sedan chair, and he would definitely respond to the face.
Although Zhu Wen is just a hundred households, in the eyes of others, the hundred households of Jinwuwei are much more powerful than him, the leader of the Fire Crow Army.
Even the Marquis of a county should be polite when he meets hundreds of families of the Jinwu Guard.
"General!" Hui Xin wanted to say more, but was so stared at by Li Wenhao that he dared not speak, and followed behind obediently with his head drooping, trying to reduce his sense of existence.
Facing the Jinwu Guard, he knew that it was a great kindness to save him.
"Have you seen that all the members of the Jinwu Guard are polite to the general!"
"Just now the general asked the Jinwu Guard to release people. I was so scared that I didn't dare to breathe. I didn't expect the Jinwu Guard to release him. It's awesome!"
"Of course, our general is God Blessed General!"
Li Wenhao took Zhu Wen away, and the melon-eating crowd immediately became lively, discussing, and some hidden horse thief spies had cold sweat on their foreheads.
When the group returned to the restaurant, the generals were shocked when they saw a few Jinwu guards coming, and could not understand the situation.
These days, the Jinwu Guard is like a bull's head and a horse's face. Whoever encounters it will be unlucky, and everyone will avoid it.
"I'm Zhu Wen, a hundred households of the Jinwu Guard, toast to all the generals!"
Zhu Wen also knew that his skin was not to be seen, so he toasted everyone and followed Li Wenhao to a private room.
"Master Zhu said just now that there are rebels from the Taiping Road who gathered refugees and wanted to make an announcement in Tuke City. Is this true?" The two had a drink, and Li Wenhao couldn't help asking, he really didn't know about it.
Although Huixin would not betray him, he also did not betray his senior brother, which gave him a deeper understanding of the never betrayal of the members of the system legion.
If the full value is 100, the loyalty of 50 points is really not high, at least not as high as imagined!
"Seventh Young Master, there is indeed such a thing!" Zhu Wen put down his wine glass, took out a piece of paper from his arms and put it on the table, and said seriously: "This is a letter we found from a Taipingdao rebel, and we agreed Ten announcements in Tuke City!
On the way here, Beizhi has sent people to verify that there are indeed a large number of refugees from the neighboring counties of Qingyang and Huaibei to Tuke City, the number is no less than hundreds of thousands. "
"It really happened. I wondered why more and more refugees came to Tuke City every day. It turned out that Taipingdao was playing tricks!"
Li Wenhao looked at the letter with an ugly expression on his face. If the refugees fled spontaneously, the more they came, the happier he would be.
After all, only when there are more people can Tuke City develop, cultivate more arable land, and recruit more soldiers.
Like the current recruit camp, more than 10,000 refugees recruited more than 1,000 infantry, and the ratio of ten to one was already the limit.
Instead, the horse bandits came one by one, and the cavalry in the new barracks was close to 3,000 cavalry.
The number of cavalry is now more than twice that of infantry. If Ma Yidao returns with his men, it may be three times as large. This ratio is a bit out of balance.
After all, infantry is still needed to defend and attack the city, and there are indeed fewer infantry now!
But these refugees were relocated in an organized way by Taipingdao, so it was different. He didn't want a riot in Tuke City.
"Come on!" Li Wenhao shouted towards the door.
"General!" Wolf Seventeen opened the door and came in, bowing and saluting.
Li Wenhao was stunned for a moment when he saw that it was not the guards but Wolf Seventeen who came in, and then smiled.
"Originally I wanted Erhu to do it. Since you are guarding outside, I will leave it to you to do it. Immediately lead people to seal the gate of the city, conduct a comprehensive search, and find that there are private gatherings. People who behave suspiciously, especially those on Taipingdao, are all detained. stand up!"
"Take the token and go to meet my people, they are better at this!" Zhu Wen took out a token from the side and interjected.
"Just do as Master Zhu said!" Li Wenhao glanced at Zhu Wen and nodded.
Jin Wuwei is really more professional in this kind of thing.
"Observe the order!" Wolf Seventeen took the token, with a happy face on his face. Since he was criticized last night, he wanted to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, which is why he stayed outside the door.
"Seventh Young Master, your subordinate is very loyal!" When Wolf Seventeen left, Zhu Wen praised: "I noticed in the lobby that all the generals were drinking, but he was the only one standing behind you .”
"It's okay, I taught you a few words yesterday, and today I guess I have a guilty conscience!" Li Wenhao shook his head with a smile: "Master Zhu laughed!"
"The seventh young master is strict in running the army, and I admire your humble position. I have heard a lot of your heroic deeds along the way. First, you went into the mountains to suppress the bandits, and offered sky-high rewards for the three-headed carving, and then quelled the wolf valley and subdued hundreds of wolf cavalry. .
When I came to Tuke City last night, it was an eye-opener. There are thousands of soldiers and horses under my command, and the people are strong and the horses are strong.
It's just a pity that I didn't see the demeanor of General Huwei beheading Sai Shangqing with one enemy against a hundred in front of the battle! "Zhu Wen said loudly.
"What a heroic deed, it's just that he was framed and almost died in the Hengduan Mountains, and he had to do it when he came to Tuke City!" Li Wenhao waved his hand with a wry smile.
At the same time, I thought in my heart that an intelligence organization should be established, otherwise it would be too passive.
More than a dozen people from the Jinwu Guard entered the city last night, and I didn't know anything about it!
"Those who harm others will end up harming themselves. Didn't the Seventh Young Master already teach that guy a lesson? As far as I know, Zhang Fugui vomited blood that night, and he might have to lie in bed for a few days!" Zhu Wen said with a deep smile, telling the truth Yes, he was also very surprised to hear the news, Li Wenhao really did not take revenge overnight.
"Oh, if that's the case, I'm taking a breath of anger, and I'll take a drink!" Li Wenhao raised his glass with a smile, and the two drank a glass.
