Chapter 56 Bold Ideas
Seeing Sun Anzu's back disappearing from a distance, Gao Bufan's face instantly became extremely solemn. He turned around and walked quickly towards the suspension bridge. Although his kung fu has made great progress recently, he has not been so arrogant that he thought he could defeat a team of thousands of people. What's more, the other party has seized a large number of Sui soldiers' weapons. With just one round of sharp arrows, he will be shot into a hedgehog. Moreover, Zhang Jin said that he is still a difficult master.
Therefore, we must take measures to save ourselves immediately, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. Fortunately, Sun Anzu came to warn in advance, otherwise there would be more than 50 people from the Gao family, and they would even be slaughtered by the whole family.
This is undoubtedly the biggest crisis that Gao Bufan encountered since he traveled to the Sui Dynasty. If he was not careful, he would die his whole family.
"Young Master, which friend is yours?" The old servant couldn't help asking curiously when he saw Gao Bufan returning alone with a serious expression.
"Let's go, raise the suspension bridge immediately. From now on, everyone is not allowed to leave the horse farm without authorization, waiting for the arrangements of the head of the family!" Gao Bufan gave an order and jumped onto the big green horse and galloped towards the direction of the house.
The old servant and the two young servants couldn't help but feel a stern, and hurriedly raised the suspension bridge, and even built two rows of horses at the bridgehead, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Gao Shou and Gao Ren were just driving out of the carriage, and they saw Qingyun galloping past them like the wind, and they couldn't help but look at each other. What's going on? Are you going to go out to buy beans? You went back yesterday?
Gao Bufan tied his horse in front of the door of the house. He threw the reins and rushed into the house quickly. He spoke to Gao Kaishan and Butler Xia, who were talking in the living room, said in a deep voice: "What a big deal has happened!"
Gao Kaishan and Butler Xia looked at each other and frowned and said, "What's wrong?"
"The bandit Zhang Jin said he wanted to bring people to attack our horse farm!"
Gao Kaishan and Butler Xia's expression changed drastically, and they hurriedly asked: "Where did the news come from? Is it reliable?"
Gao Bufan repeated the words of how Sun Anzu warned him. Gao Kaishan and Butler Xia couldn't sit still. However, they were people who had experienced great storms and made a decision to evacuate the horse farm after a little discussion, because with the defense measures and manpower of the horse farm, it was impossible to withstand a bandit of thousands of people. Staying at the back would undoubtedly be like killing him.
Gao Bufan frowned and said, "I have no objection to evacuate, but people can go to the city to hide, but how can we place the horses in our horse farm?"
Gao Kaishan and Butler Xia were obviously in trouble. There were more than 50 people in the Gao family, so it would be fine to go to the city to hide. However, how to resettle nearly 2,000 horses of all sizes has become a problem. It is impossible to enter the city. There is not so much space in the city. It must be left in the horse farm. In the end, Zhang Jinzhuan was a group, not to mention that 700 of them were still war horses that were ready to be handed over to the court. If all of them were lost, the court would definitely hold the accountability. Gao Kaishan, as the owner, may even be caught. Gao Bufan, the legitimate son and Chen family would not have a good end.
Gao Kaishan pondered for a moment and said decisively: "Old Xia, you should immediately notify the elderly, weak, women and children in your family to pack up and hide in the city. The young and strong will follow the head of the family to rush the war horses to Luoyang for delivery. The remaining horses will be placed in the wild, and some may be found in the future."
As the saying goes, if things are urgent, Gao Kaishan is not losing this, it is a good way to respond to the emergency. Butler Xia obviously agreed and was about to set off to execute it, but Gao Bufan said, "Let's go!"
Gao Kaishan and Butler Xia looked at Gao Bufan at the same time. The former asked in a deep voice: "Is there a better way for Fan'er?"
Gao Bufan shook his head and said, "Father's method is just a temporary solution. If we can go to the city for a while, can we hide for a lifetime? As long as Zhang Jin claims that the bandit is still alive, our horse farm will not be able to open again, and we have to live a nervous life."
Gao Kaishan frowned and said, "What else can I do? Now I can only solve the current crisis first, so let's talk about what's going on in the future."
Butler Xia nodded and said, "The head of the family is right. Zhang Jin said that he is powerful now and can only avoid his edge. I believe that the court will soon send troops to encircle and suppress him. Didn't General Changsun say that he would not be able to jump for long."
Gao Bufan raised his eyebrows and said, "The emperor is determined to conquer Goryeo now. God knows when the imperial court can free up his hands to suppress bandits. It is better to begging for others than to ask for others. Instead, I think this is a good opportunity to kill Zhang Jincheng. Only by killing this bastard can our horse farm be managed safely."
Butler Xia said a little dissatisfied: "That's the reason, but with our little manpower, it's not enough to put gaps between them. If we can't kill them, we will be killed by them."
Gao Bufan said calmly: "We will definitely not be able to do it by ourselves. Let's do it like this. First, act according to my father's plan, and I will think of a solution. If it really doesn't work, forget it."
Gao Kaishan and Butler Xia looked at each other and asked, "Waner, what are you going to do?"
"I asked Gao Shihong for help. I came back before dark. Dad asked everyone to clean up and go to the city first!" After Gao Bufan said that, he ran out like a whirlwind, and the sound of horse hooves coming from outside immediately came.
"This..." Butler Xia looked helpless.
Gao Kaishan said in a deep voice: "Fan'er has been very independent since she was a child, and she has never let adults worry about her. Let him go. Maybe he can accomplish something."
Butler Xia nodded and immediately summoned the maids at home to assign tasks. Soon, the Gao family began to clean up the fines and soft materials, loaded the horse's forage and beans, etc. Everything was going on in an orderly manner. It can be seen that Xia Bangxian did have two tricks in managing affairs and arranged the Gao family in an orderly manner.
Let’s talk about Gao Bufan leaving the horse farm and rode his horse to the county town of Xicheng. He arrived outside the west city gate in about half a day. However, at this moment, the three gates of Xicheng County were closed, and only the gate to the east opened. It was probably because he was worried that the robbers in Gaojipo would attack, so he was very conservative.
Gao Bufan had to turn to the East City Gate again. After reporting his name, the yamen guarding the gate readily put him in. Speaking of which, since the banquet that night, Gao Bufan has been considered a celebrity in Weiting County!
After Gao Bufan entered the city, he found Gao Shihong directly and confessed everything. After hearing this, the latter said solemnly: "Xiaofan, your father's approach is right. Even the commander Song Dushi, who led a thousand regular troops under his command, was defeated by him. Now Zhang Jin said that he is even more powerful and no one dares to directly attack his attack. Unless the court sends a large army, it is better to avoid his attack and never hit a stone."
Gao Bufan was not surprised to hear this. Although Gao Shihong was the leader of the Gao family in Xi County, he was just a cautious businessman after all. It was normal that he did not have the courage and courage. So he had to say, "The uncle's words are reasonable, but his nephew was whimsical."
Gao Shihong refused Gao Bufan's request to second the staff, and seemed to feel a little disgusted, and said with a smile: "Although Xiaofan is a little unconsidered, his courage is commendable. Why not do this? It just so happens that Shibo still has an empty house in the city. Xiaofan will use it to temporarily resettle his family first, and wait until it is safe outside the city before returning to the horse farm."
Gao Bufan was not polite when he heard this, bowed and said, "I'll thank you for your uncle in this way. Without further ado, my nephew will go back and tell my father!"
Gao Shihong nodded and said, "Go, be careful in everything!"
Gao Bufan turned around and left the living room. Gao Shihong then smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "I'm still young after all, I actually want to take the opportunity to kill the bandit Zhang Jincheng. It's simply... a dream!"
The housekeeper next to him smiled and said, "It is abnormal for young people, it is not afraid of tigers. But then again, if Gao Changqing really kills Zhang Jincheng, it would be amazing. Not only is this son famous, but the reputation of our Bohai Gao family will also increase greatly, and even the court may give him a heavy reward."
Gao Shihong felt a little excited when he heard this, but he immediately shook his head and said, "It would be great to save his life. Zhang Jincheng is not that easy to kill. This bandit has thousands of thieves under his command, and he is also a person with high martial arts skills. It is impossible!"
Gao Bufan walked out of Gao Shihong's mansion and felt a little disappointed. He originally planned to second the number of people to Gao Shihong. With the energy of the Gao clan in Qing County, it would be easy to gather thousands of people to protect the hospital. If the county government came forward to organize the manpower, the three thousand people would be at their fingertips.
With these three thousand men lying around the horse farm, they were determined but not intentional, and then they made a clever arrangement, and it was very likely to defeat Zhang Jincheng. Unfortunately, Gao Shihong was not brave enough and could not accomplish great things in the end!
Gao Bufan originally planned to convince Gao Shihong, and then asked Gao Shihong to come forward to discuss with the county magistrate of Xi County on behalf of the Gao clan. Now Gao Shihong dared not accept it, so there was no need to find the county magistrate anymore. After all, he was just a fifteen-year-old boy and had no weight in speaking. Who would believe Gao Shihong if he didn't come forward?
