Gu Tianlan is like a bird locked up in Ganquan Palace, in fact, everything in and out of the palace will reach her ears through one mouth. She didn't go out, but she looked at the world and had a strategizing posture.

She knew that He Yong in Jingyang had rebelled, knew that Wu Liang led troops to suppress it, and the lord would die and return in a fiasco, and knew that Li Yejin went to ask Di Xingyuan to come out of the mountain, but Di Xingyuan refused, so Li Yejin arrested his wife and son.

Di Xingyuan asked Li Ye to rehabilitate the Gu family, but Li Ye refused, saying that the evidence of the Gu family's rebellion was conclusive. ”

Di Xingyuan has backbone, but he still refuses to give in, and he is in a stalemate with Li Ye. ”

All this was expected by Gu Tianlan.

If Li Yejin rehabilitates the Gu family, he will prove that everything he did before was wrong. The emperor's arrogance would not allow him to do this, not to mention, Li Yejin was even more conceited.

But one day, Gu Tianlan will make him admit that he was wrong.

Gu Tianlan was silent for a long time, and said to the people around him: "Find a way to inform Di Xingyuan and let him suppress He Yong, not only to suppress, but also to return with a big victory." ”

The people around her looked at her in surprise, but they didn't expect why she wanted to help Li Yejin.

"I'm not helping Li Yejin, but helping the people of Mochizuki and myself. Gu Tianlan said.

Naturally, this matter did not fulfill Li Yejin's wish so simply.

Mrs. Di and Di Xingyuan stayed alone for two hours, and on the second day, Di Xingyuan agreed to lead troops to suppress the rebels.

When this news reached the emperor's ears, the emperor unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and the haze that had been pressing on his heart for many days finally dissipated.

"Your Majesty, Di Xingyuan is a member of the Gu family, will he have two hearts?" said Wang Yangyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, uneasy.

"The Gu family is gone, it's dead, but his wife and children are alive, Di Xing won't be so stupid. Li Ye said cautiously.

Wang Yangyu thought about it for a while, and it was indeed reasonable: "Your Majesty is wise." ”

He Yong originally captured Jingyang, defeated Wu Liang, and then took advantage of the victory to attack Lingzhou, Lingzhou Assassin Shi had already run away with a family, and the soldiers defending the city held out for two days, and Lingzhou was broken. Now that the rebel army has occupied Jingyang and Lingzhou, He Yong has established himself as the king and the king of Jingyang.

Di Xingyuan was named the general of Pingyuan and led an army of 20,000 to Jingyang to suppress He Yong.

He Yong's rebel army had expanded to 50,000 men, but the emperor only gave Di Xingyuan 20,000. This is not to deliberately embarrass Di Xingyuan, but because he has no one in his hands.

The former army of 500,000 was all defeated by Gongsun Yi and Gao Xuan, and the strength of Mochizuki was gone forever. Now the entire Mochizuki only has about 100,000 troops, and some of them are guarding the border, and the emperor can call on about 30,000 people. Wu Liang led the troops and lost 10,000 people, so there were only 20,000 left. The emperor left 10,000 people to guard the Beijing division, and Di Xingyuan's 20,000 troops, 10,000 were temporarily supplemented.

Di Xingyuan set off with this improvised army of 20,000.

Whether this battle can be won or not, Li Yejin himself is not sure.

But you can't afford to lose.

On the day Di Xingyuan led the troops to set off, the emperor said to him: "If you die for the country, you will be the hero of Mochizuki, and if you are lonely on the Huangquan Road, I will let your wife and children accompany you." ”

I don't know if this threat really worked, or if Di Xingyuan was really a general, in just two days, Di Xingyuan actually recaptured Lingzhou City.

When the emperor got the good news, he let out a long sigh of relief. He drank a glass of wine violently, calming the excitement in his heart.

"I am the true dragon emperor, this moon is mine, and those who covet it must die. ”

In Ganquan Palace, Gu Tianlan got the news almost at the same time.

"Even if Di Xingyuan is given 10,000 troops, Di Xingyuan will also win very easily. Gu Tianlan was not surprised when he heard the news, "He Yong and Di Xingyuan are the difference between ordinary people and generals. The people He Yong faced before were ordinary people who were afraid of death, and they rushed up with their enthusiasm and drove each other away. But Di Xing is far from the same. Di Xingyuan is a general, he understands tactics, as long as he plays a little trick, he can fool He Yong into a daze. ”

There are thirty-six strategies in the art of war, and if this strategy is used well, it is more effective than thousands of troops.

In the Taihe Palace, the emperor stared at Mochizuki's map and pondered for a long time and said, "In about five days, Di Xingyuan will be able to recapture Jingyang and completely suppress this rebel army. ”

In Ganquan Palace, his subordinates asked Gu Tianlan: "Master, how long do you think General Di will win?"

Gu Tianlan said: "Two days." ”

Di Xingyuan is good at fighting assault battles, paying attention to quick battles, he will not give He Yong time to react at all, two days is enough.

Two days later, Di Xingyuan invaded Jingyang Mansion, repelled the rebel army, and captured the leader of the rebels, He Yong.

It took another day for the good news to return to Yecheng.

This speed is faster than Li Yejin imagined. Li Yejin tasted the sweetness of a capable general around him.

He immediately called the Rite Squire.

"Prepare well, welcome General Pingyuan back from victory, and wash the dust for him. The Emperor said.

"The minister obeyed. Wang Yangyu said, "Your Majesty is planning to reuse General Di?"

Wang Yangyu is Li Yejin's confidant, and it is not out of place for him to ask this.

Li Ye nodded solemnly: "He is a member of the Gu family, but there are no available generals around me, so I can only collect his heart first, use it temporarily, and then replace him when there is a suitable one." ”

"Some people guard against it, and they use it. Li Yejin made a wishful thinking, "Mrs. Di and her son live in the harem, and I don't know if Xi is used to it, I will go and see that lady." ”

Wang Yangyu immediately said: "Your Majesty's compassion for General Di is General Di's blessing. ”

Di Xingyuan's wife was held hostage in a side hall of the harem, and there were several layers of guards guarding the side hall. Di Xingyuan won the battle, and the emperor had the heart to appease his wife.

The emperor went with a reward.

"The emperor has arrived!" the shrill voice of the chamberlain sounded.

Di Xingyuan's wife is just a peasant woman, and she should be sincerely afraid to see the emperor. The emperor waited for a while, but he didn't see anyone coming out, could it be because he was afraid that he wouldn't dare to come out? The emperor's face was a little unsightly, and he said to the attendant beside him, "Go and call Madame Di out." ”

The chamberlain rummaged around inside, and came out in a panic to report: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Di is not in this palace!"

The emperor's face changed suddenly, the peasant woman was not there? There were layers of guards outside this hall, could that woman take her son and fly with her wings?

The guards went in and searched the entire palace inch by inch, and the answer they got was the same as that of the chamberlain.

"It's gone, I let you keep it, how could the people be gone?!" the emperor was furious.

The guards knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, the woman and the boy have indeed not come out. ”

"Didn't come out, did you disappear out of thin air?" the emperor snapped.

The guards all hung their heads, and one by one they did not dare to speak.

The Emperor's face turned extremely cold, and he thought of a possibility that would put him in a very disadvantageous position.

Di Xingyuan had not yet returned with an army of 20,000, and the hostages he had left in the palace suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

This is not a good omen. He will be in a very passive position.

The emperor's focus shifted from how to buy Di Xingyuan's heart to search for a woman with a two-year-old child.

Di Xingyuan returned to Beijing with an army of 20,000 from Jingyang Haohao Tangtang. However, at a distance of ninety miles from Yecheng, Di Xingyuan suddenly set up camp and stopped advancing.

Di Xingyuan used soldiers like a god, and the soldiers were very obedient to him, and there was no doubt about his inexplicable decision.

Di Xingyuan stayed alone in the tent, as if waiting for something. He has dignified facial features, thick eyebrows, and a dark complexion, which is quite handsome.

"Daddy...... Daddy......" A childish milk voice sounded.

Di Xingyuan opened his eyes suddenly, and saw a woman standing at the door of the tent, holding a little boy in her arms, and the little boy was trying to reach out to him and make a gesture of 'hugging'.

Di Xingyuan hurriedly got up, walked to their side in three steps and two steps, and hugged the child in the woman's hand: "Xiaobao." ”

One hand touched the woman's face: "Are you okay?"

The woman had an ordinary face, not good-looking, but her facial features were upright, and there was tenderness between her eyebrows and eyes, and she looked like a virtuous woman.

The woman nodded, but her eyes were red: "Okay, it's good to see you, I thought I would never see you again." ”

As she spoke, she threw herself into the man's arms and wept aloud.

Gu Tianlan stood outside the camp tent and quietly watched the reunion of this family of three. She and Di Xingyuan are actually old acquaintances, her father values Di Xingyuan very much, and he wanted to match her and Di Xingyuan back then - now that I think about it, it was a long time ago.

When the woman had finished crying, she withdrew from Di Xingyuan's arms. The little boy also fell asleep in Di Xingyuan's arms. Di Xingyuan handed over the child to the woman, and the woman carried the child out of the tent, and when she passed by Gu Tianlan's side, she bent down and nodded at her, quite respectfully, before leaving.

Gu Tianlan walked into the tent.

Di Xingyuan made a 'please' gesture, Gu Tianlan was not polite at all, and sat down directly on the chair.

"You asked Ximei to give me that letter?"

Himi is his wife. Before he set out for the expedition, he stayed alone with Ximei for a while. Di Xingyuan was a very stubborn person, and the emperor thought that Ximei persuaded him that he went to war for the lives of his wife and children, but the actual reason was because of a letter. When Ximei came, she brought a letter, which asked him to go to war, and the place where she signed off was the Gu family's unique mark and a code word.

Wasn't the Gu family's power completely eradicated by Li Yejin?

Could it be that there are still people from the Gu family alive?

Di Xingyuan was shocked in his heart, but he still went out with an army of 20,000.

His family is in the hands of the emperor, and during these days, Di Xingyuan is very uneasy. He's a bit of a mess, and he's become a war machine. When he just saw his wife and children, Di Xingyuan came back to life completely.

Gu Tianlan nodded.

"Thank you, girl, for saving my wife and children. Dare to ask what the identity of the girl is?"

"The surviving. Gu Tianlan said, "Come back to find Li Ye to take revenge." ”

Gu Tianlan didn't want to reveal his identity. It is enough for those who know their identity, and the exposure of her identity will have an impact on Di Xingyuan. She just wanted Di Xingyuan to help her this time, and then she retreated, and went to live a peaceful life of seclusion with his wife and children. If he knew that he was still alive, Di Xingyuan would definitely follow him to the death. Gu Tianlan didn't want to completely reverse the trajectory of his life.

Di Xingyuan laughed heartily: "Then I have the same identity as the girl, and I am also a survivor." "What should I do next?"

Let Li Ye admit his mistakes and rehabilitate the Gu family. Gu Tianlan said.
