Mall! Gao Xianzhi Camp!
A large number of soldiers gathered on a huge square. At this moment, dozens of Song soldiers were tied up and kneeled on the open space of the square.
All the soldiers were staring at the commander-in-chief Gao Xianzhi in the south, and Prince Song who was supporting him.
"Let me go, I want to go back, let me go back!"
"I was fighting on the front line, regardless of life and death, but the dog officer killed my whole family in the back, let me go, let me take revenge!"
"My whole family is gone, and it's all set on fire! I want to find my father, my mother, and let me go!"

…
A group of Song soldiers who were being bound shouted at Gao Xianzhi and Song Prince with red eyes.
Gao Xianzhi stared at a group of manic soldiers in front of him with a gloomy expression. Prince Song also looked at Gao Xianzhi.
"Lin Chong, did you ask me clearly?" Gao Xianzhi asked in a deep voice.
Lin Chong nodded at the side and said: "Commander, all the deserters have been captured, and the subordinates also asked, but they didn't guard against them. Following the arrival of merchants from various cities, they brought a lot of bad news from the rear! But In some local nobles, the family members of the soldiers were killed, and the relatives of their families escaped and came to report. The family members were killed, and the soldiers were deserters!"
"How many people are there?" Gao Xianzhi asked in a deep voice.
"There are already 30 families who have encountered an accident!" Lin Chong said with an ugly face.
"Gu Hai's conspiracy, has it started? Want to mess with our army? Hmph!" Gao Xianzhi snorted coldly.
"Gu Hai's conspiracy?" Prince Song's expression darkened.
"What's going on, who came to my camp to spread rumors?" Gao Xianzhi asked coldly.
"It was the group of rich merchants, among the servants of the rich merchants, there were messengers from various cities or relatives of the soldiers. These days, they quietly contacted them and brought bad news. That's why they deserted!" Lin Chong explained.
"The group of wealthy businessmen? Hmph, being rich is not benevolent, disturbing the morale of our army, they should be killed!" Prince Song stared.
"Prince, calm down!" Gao Xianzhi shook his head.
"What? Marshal, you still want to protect those wealthy businessmen?" Prince Song said in a deep voice.
Gao Xianzhi smiled wryly for a while and said, "No, Prince, look at the expressions of the soldiers! Gu Hai's conspiracy has already started, and it can't be stopped!"
"Huh?" Prince Song looked at the soldiers with a hint of doubt.
The bound deserters naturally had red eyes, but the other soldiers onlookers were also looking at the square with incomparable solemnity at this moment. Looking at this group of deserters, the other soldiers did not show any disgust, but rather The color of sympathy.
If you escape timidly, all the soldiers will naturally cast aside with all their strength. But are they timid? What are they, like us, working so hard on the front line? Isn't it for the good life of the old parents, wife and children at home? Now, we are going through fire and water for the Song Dynasty, fighting on the battlefield, and it’s okay for the group of dog officials to enjoy the blessings in the rear, but also mutilate our parents, humiliate and kill our wives and children. Who would it be, not feeling angry
deserter? Fuck deserters. This deserter fled in a dignified manner. If it were me, I would flee too.
What's more, the deserters who were tied up were basically life and death brothers on the battlefield. Their bloodshed and disability didn't make them cry, but the dog officers in the rear were too chilling. Before being filial and giving your wife and children a good life, you were killed by them
Now, the Marshal is trying this matter, what will be the result
Will our wives, children, and parents also suffer
You can't even protect your parents, wife and children, so what are you talking about fighting for the country
Are those rich businessmen not good? At least brought news from our rear.
All the soldiers stared at Gao Xianzhi and Prince Song with wide eyes, waiting for the two to make a fair decision. Not for these deserters, but also for the worries in our hearts.
Prince Song looked at the eyes of the soldiers, his face became more and more gloomy.
"Prince, you see, this is just the beginning. If you kill the rich businessman and this group of 'informers', wouldn't you block their news channel? Wouldn't it be with those dog officials? They are doing it for you You're working so hard, but you're instigating those dog officials to keep mutilating their parents, wives and children?" Gao Xianzhi sneered.
Prince Song was terrified.
"This, is this Gu Hai's strategy? He wants to cause our bombing of the camp and cause mutiny within our army?" Prince Song said with an ugly face.
"It must be him. In the past, there was no news at all. Why did so many, 30 families suddenly appear? I don't think the local officials can be so stupid. It is possible to kill the families of soldiers at this time, but it is impossible. So many, and they appeared almost at the same time, and even spread throughout the entire barracks!" Gao Xianzhi said in a deep voice.
"Hiss, this Gu Hai's hand is really long, and it actually reached into our barracks? Marshal, it's a good thing you found it in time, otherwise, if I killed those rich businessmen in a fit of anger and blocked the news, then the Gu Hai might have another trick!" Prince Song said with an ugly face.
Gao Xianzhi nodded and said, "Yes!"
"Then what should we do now?" Prince Song asked.
"The army's heart has been pried out by Gu Hai. Naturally, we have to take it seriously. It is definitely impossible to seal it. It is better to block it than to block it. Let me slowly dismantle it!" Gao Xianzhi said solemnly.
The prince nodded.
"Everyone, I, Gao Xianzhi, assure you that the sanctity of soldiers, during this period, anyone who dares to insult and hurt the family members of soldiers, I must make them pay ten times and a hundred times the price. This is my promise, Gao Xianzhi, and please believe in this Handsome!" Gao Xianzhi shouted.
All the soldiers looked at Gao Xianzhi together. After all, Gao Xianzhi's promise had some effect, but after all, suspicion penetrated into the hearts of all the soldiers like a devil, and they just watched how Gao Xianzhi would deal with it.
"You promise, what can you promise? Before the expedition, my daughter was only two years old, she was just able to walk, she was able to hold my leg and call her daddy, but she was trampled to death by that dog official, my daughter."
"My father died early, and my mother brought me and my younger brother up. She sewed and sewed to support me every day. I sewed so much that I couldn't see my eyes. I was drafted into the army and fought. I was never afraid of death. Make more military exploits, get more rewards, go back and be filial to my mother, that damned county magistrate, for my land, burned my blind old mother to death in the house, mother, the child is not filial!"
"Before I left for the expedition, I just got married. I married my childhood sweetheart, Xiaohuan. Xiaohuan wouldn't let me fight, but I came anyway. I was fighting to the death on the front line. I took her away, and my younger brother searched everywhere, but was beaten up. He didn’t come to me until today and told me, what kind of war am I fighting for? Who am I fighting for? I’m working hard, but you want my family to be ruined, dog officer , Officer Dog!"

...
A group of deserters cried out in pain.
The other onlookers clenched their fists empathetically, each with a heavy heart.
Prince Song wanted to drive away the surrounding soldiers, so as not to expand the influence, but Gao Xianzhi stopped him, the more blocked, the more panicked people became.
Thirty deserters kept describing. Gao Xianzhi was listening carefully.
It took two hours before everything was sorted out. Then he frowned deeply.
The whole square was silent, everyone looked at Gao Xianzhi.
After a moment of silence, Gao Xianzhi poked his finger and divided the thirty people into two groups, with four people on one side and twenty-six people on the other side.
"I have listened carefully to your descriptions, and I probably guessed something. Everyone, please listen to me carefully. What news do you twenty-six people get? Your relatives were taken away, or taken Killed somewhere? The body was not found, and the person who reported the news was your relatives, but they did not see other relatives captured or killed with their own eyes. They just heard that no matter how likely it is, it is all speculation. Right?" Gao Xianzhi stared at the twenty-six people and said in a deep voice.
"Uh?"
"But my brother won't lie to me!"
"My cousin wouldn't lie to me either!"
……………
... ... ...
…
Everyone talked in a hurry.
"That's right, they won't lie to you, but what if they were also deceived?" Gao Xianzhi said in a deep voice.
"Ok?"
"Everyone, don't you find it strange? There have never been so many bad news before, and so many suddenly came out. I can tell you that all of this was done by Gu Hai, the richest man in the six countries. The purpose is to make our army mutiny!" Gao Xianzhi Solemnly said.
"But… !"
"Why should I trust you!"
... ... ...
...
…
The faces of the twenty-six people were ugly for a while.
"Don't believe me, you just need to know that you need to see people when you are alive, and you need to see corpses when you die. If you don't see a corpse, don't give up hope. I will immediately ask the emperor to issue an order. For your relatives, send all the officials to search for them with all your strength. If you want to live and see people, if you want to die and see corpses, it's better than you running back in a daze. It's better for a whole city to search than you alone, right?" Gao Xianzhi comforted.
"But, can you still find it?" A deserter asked with a glimmer of hope.
"Search for each family, dig three feet to find them, how about I give you an explanation? If it is really a local official who committed crimes, I will ask the emperor to order and kill without mercy!" Gao Xianzhi said with firm eyes.
"Thank you, Commander, thank you, Commander!" All the deserters knelt down and cried.
Gao Xianzhi turned to look at the other four deserters whose eyes were still red.
"Marshal? What should we do? We can't be fake, right? My younger brother saw with his own eyes that my blind old mother was burned to death in the house. He is the county magistrate, my blind old mother!" One of them Staring at Gao Xianzhi with red eyes.
Gao Xianzhi looked solemn and said: "You four, the news that you have received is solid evidence. Don't worry, no one can make you bleed and cry. No matter who it is, the son of the county magistrate? No, as long as the person who participated in the murder of your family , all beheaded!"
"Marshal?" The four of them stared at Gao Xianzhi.
"You guys will personally imprison me!" Gao Xianzhi said ruthlessly.
"Commander, thank you, Commander!"
"Thank you, handsome!"
……………
...
…
The four of them kowtowed in gratitude, maybe they would never be able to avenge themselves for the rest of their lives, how could they not be grateful now that the commander-in-chief made decisions for themselves
Turning his head, Gao Xianzhi took a deep breath and said, "Prince, I will immediately write a letter to the emperor, please cooperate fully, this time the ancient sea is coming fiercely, please also support the prince, and join me in the joint performance, the inside must be settled first!"
Prince Song looked at the deserters and nodded, "Okay!"
Gao Xianzhi turned his head to look at the soldiers again and said: "Soldiers, I know that you are worried, don't worry, I, Gao Xianzhi, hereby promise to take care of all of you. From now on, I will allow you to go home with a letter and agree with your family. Send a message, but don't involve military secrets, you can do it!"
"Thank you, Commander!" Countless soldiers suddenly agreed.
The previous worries were completely gone, and the commander-in-chief allowed correspondence with his family, so he could know that his family was safe, and he could also let his family know his situation, which was great. Still handsome.
The trace of restlessness in my heart suddenly disappeared.
"However, you have also seen that four of this group of deserters are out of helplessness, but the remaining twenty-six may all be Gu Hai's conspiracy. You can report the matter to me, I will make the decision for you!" Gao Xianzhi shouted.
"Gu Hai is so hateful!"
"Don't worry, Marshal, if there is anything, we will definitely report it to you!"
"Damn Gu Hai!"
……………
... ... ...
…
"Marshal, what about those rich businessmen?" Lin Chong asked from the side.
Gao Xianzhi frowned slightly and said: "Gu Hai has already made a move, but I was careless, firecrackers? Fireworks? Heh, sitting firmly in the tiger prison, but started to remotely control our army's camp thousands of miles away? Those rich businessmen, let Let's continue, but keep monitoring all the time, and, from now on, if you come to comfort the army, you must keep a low profile, stop all firecrackers and fireworks, otherwise, you will be punished as a disorderly army!"
"Yes!" All the soldiers nodded.
A desertion crisis was suppressed by Gao Xianzhi.
The army slowly dispersed, and everything continued according to the normal procedure.
Gao Xianzhi and Song Prince returned to the camp.
Gao Xianzhi personally wrote a letter and stamped it with his seal, and Prince Song also stamped it with his private seal.
"Marshal, you are now open and honest with the soldiers, and you have even directed your hatred to Gu Hai. The soldiers don't have to worry about it anymore, but, is it too harsh for you to ask the father to deal with these nobles?" Song Prince said a little worried.
"No, Your Royal Highness, you haven't realized the horror of Gu Hai, have you seen it? He Gu Hai is sitting at home, and he has already started to disturb our army's morale. It's not that Gu Hai didn't fight, but he has stabbed him with real sword Now, this is a battle of people's hearts, just to ease it up, but once Gu Hai breaks through, do you know how terrible it will be?" Gao Xianzhi said with a grim expression.
"Ah? Is it that bad?" Prince Song frowned.
"Bad? Haha, Prince, you underestimate him. Once the morale of the army is broken by Gu Hai, the 800,000 army will be destroyed immediately. The Song Kingdom is in danger and will be destroyed at any time!" Gao Xianzhi said in a deep voice.
"what?"
"So, Prince, please weigh yourself. How do you choose between your Song family's country and this group of dead nobles? I don't want to scare you!" Gao Xianzhi said solemnly.
Prince Song's eyelids twitched wildly, nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will write another letter to Father, and fully cooperate with you!"—
Half a month later. Song Dynasty Capital, Song City.
Gu Hai, Gu Han and his son stood in front of an imperial list, looking at the newly posted imperial list.
"Father, Gao Xianzhi acted very fast, and solved this crisis immediately!" Gu Han said solemnly.
"Gao Xianzhi is indeed very talented, and he persuaded the King of Song so quickly to take care of the military families with all his strength, kill military family members, and kill them without mercy? He even allowed the three armies to exchange letters with his family? Hahaha!" Gu Hai's eyes flashed with admiration.
"Father, do you want to continue making the disappearance of the military family? The soldiers of the three armies seem to be rebelling against the name of the father."
"They started to hate me? Oh, that's what they want. Continue, continue to disappear! While they hate me, they will continue to be jealous of the dignitaries of the Song Dynasty. So what if they hate me? In the future, they will know that hating me is the only way to destroy the country." The root of it!" Gu Hai laughed.
"But, Gao Xianzhi's military spirit has stabilized!"
"Stable? But, we have already planted a seed of cholera, and everything has just begun. I will lead them into an endless loop. Gao Xianzhi still wants to solve the situation? He can't solve it!" Gu Hai looked at the imperial list, With a slight smile.
