Li Mu walked towards the camp in the distance at this time, and was very surprised in his heart as to what Gao Changgong wanted to do when he came to find him.
Li Mu couldn't help but recall the scene in the battle just now. Although the enemy's heavy cavalry charge caused some heavy casualties to the heavy cavalry unit, he did not make any drastic move. Could it be that Gao Changgong came to him not because of this, but because of something?
Something else?
Li Mu couldn't figure it out, so he quickened his pace and arrived outside the Chinese army camp.
At this moment, there was a fierce quarrel in the camp. Li Mu asked the guard at the door for instructions. Before the guard went in to report, he saw a rough man striding out from inside.
The other party was wearing gorgeous armor and was obviously a general. At this moment, he was still cursing. He stopped and turned around after taking two steps out of the tent, pointed his finger into the tent and shouted loudly.
"Master Duan, even though you have a close relationship with His Majesty, I am just not angry about what happened today. Why did the heavy cavalry I brought with me lose so much! Those are the soldiers I trained so hard!"
"General Hu Lu, something happened suddenly. I never thought that the other party would have so many heavy cavalry. Moreover, the Northern Zhou Dynasty is a tough opponent."
An older voice came from inside and said this, but the rugged general outside snorted coldly, tossed his sleeves and walked away.
Li Mu also roughly understood something at this time, that is, the general in front of him lost a lot of his heavy cavalry, so he felt very unhappy now, but the losses on the battlefield were always uncontrollable, so the situation was very troublesome.
Somewhat stiff.
Even if Li Mu knew this, he could only lower his head and grin. Overall, the Qi army suffered a loss in today's battle, so it was appropriate to complain.
Maybe it may have been involved in conspiracy on other levels, but this is also a level that Li Mu cannot touch.
When General Hu Lu left, the voices inside suddenly stopped. At this time, the guards also went in to report, and after a while, Li Mu was allowed in.
Li Mu lowered his head and walked into the large tent. Sitting on the main seat was a middle-aged man in rich clothes with a long beard who looked very generous. However, Li Mu's immediate superior Gao Changgong sat on the other side.
On one side, he was leaning on the desk with his head lowered and seemed to be deducing something.
"The heavy cavalry commander Gao Bai has met Grand Master Duan and General Gao."
Li Mu also understood the order of hierarchy. Although he didn't know who the middle-aged man in front of him was, he saluted and said, then turned to Gao Changgong on the other side and said.
Grand Master Duan just glanced at Li Mu and didn't treat Li Mu as an important person at all. He didn't respond and drank his tea silently.
On the other side, Gao Changgong heard Li Mu's words and raised his head. The grimace mask was still on his face. Li Mu was even a little curious whether he wore this mask while eating and sleeping.
But the other party's eyes looked over, and then a voice came from under the mask: "Gao Bai, how many enemies have you killed today?"
"Back to the general, the scene was fierce. I didn't count it in detail. I just remember that I rushed all the way and made a bloody road."
Li Mu was a little surprised by Gao Changgong's question, but he did not remember the quantity, so he said so immediately.
Listening to what Li Mu said, Gao Changgong nodded, but the expression on Li Mu's face was cautious. He didn't know why Gao Changgong called him over.
"Your Highness, could this be the wet nurse's son you mentioned?"
At this time, Duan Shao next to him asked. He seemed to be interested in Li Mu at this time. Li Mu immediately turned around and saluted him again, and Gao Changgong also said at this time.
"Yes, this is the son of a wet nurse. The wet nurse later contracted an illness and died, and her husband also died on the battlefield. He left only one son, who was given the surname Gao and grew up with me."
Duan Shao also nodded at this time, but suddenly frowned, and asked with some confusion: "Your Highness called him here today just to ask him this?"
Duan Shao expressed the question in Li Mu's heart, but Gao Changgong shook his head and handed over a document.
Li Mu didn't know what it was, so he took it and opened it to look at it, but he immediately closed it.
"General, do you want me to do this?"
The document Gao Changgong gave Li Mu contained arrangements for a subsequent raid. From the document written in small regular script, Li Mu roughly understood that there would be a Luoyang cavalry team to break through during the next attack.
, Escort several important people out of it, and the task of Li Mu and others is to have Li Mu and another twenty cavalrymen go to one place to provide cover for those people.
This order is almost incomprehensible, because there are only twenty heavy cavalry going for this mission, and the escort is a troop that escaped from the heavily surrounded Luoyang City.
Let's not talk about whether they can escape or not. With just twenty heavy cavalry, once the enemy troops come to pursue them, how can these few people be able to withstand the pursuers? There are so many soldiers from the Zhou Dynasty that they may be able to take advantage of them.
Go in.
"General, such a mission is obviously very important. Why not let Qiu Baichang take us to complete it together?"
The order was strange, but Li Mu couldn't find the reason why something was wrong. He immediately asked about the reason, but what he saw was Gao Changgong's cold eyes.
"Gao Bai, you mean you can't complete this task, right?"
"this……"
Li Mu looked over immediately, his eyes suddenly became a little wandering, and his expression became a little stagnant, but Gao Changgong continued to speak to Li Mu.
"The reason why this matter is entrusted to you is because it is very important. Although it is unfavorable for you to do it, after all, you and I grew up together. I trust you on this matter."
Gao Changgong said in a deep voice, but his eyes were fixed on Li Mu, and then he added again: "Remember, the horses should be less heavily armored this time. If you see that the situation is not going well, you can just leave immediately. Do you understand?"
Gao Changgong said this, which made Li Mu even more confused. However, after being told by the other party's strong tone, Li Mu nodded stiffly.
Glancing to the other side, Duan Shao was stroking his beard and watching Gao Changgong's movements expressionlessly. Then Li Mu also saluted, took the document and left.
While waiting for Li Mu to leave here, Gao Changgong kept staring at the defense line where Li Mu left. He didn't look back until the curtain lowered again.
Turning his head, Gao Changgong's eyes met Duan Shao's.
"Your Highness, do you really choose to let your little boy do such a thing?"
As soon as Duan Shao's words came out, it was already clear that this matter was unusual and even had some very dangerous meaning.
But Gao Changgong's expression did not change at all. He just sighed silently and said slowly: "Such a thing is indeed dangerous, but it is not difficult. Although his fighting skills are not good, I believe that his escape movements must be certain."
No procrastination.”
Duan Shao couldn't help but shook his head when he heard what Gao Changgong said: "I didn't expect His Highness to have such a view of his subordinates."
"He, I never regarded him as a subordinate. His father died in a battle with the Turks, and I brought him to the army. If I didn't wipe away the ruffianism and timidity in him,
With his character, he is not worthy of being a heavy cavalry, nor is he worthy of being his father’s son, let alone being my subordinate!”
Gao Changgong said categorically, his tone was very cold, and his eyes were unusually firm.
Duan Shao also nodded understandingly. He also knew that the young general in front of him was also a general who cared about his subordinates, and this extraordinary leader should be someone he cared about.
What he did seemed to be harming him, but in fact it was also making him grow.
I just don't know if that young man can understand the meaning and survive in this battlefield.
A sigh came out.
Li Mu, who went out with the documents in his arms, was full of doubts, but he didn't know that something even more cruel would be waiting for him.
Chapter completed!
