After Ying Zuodong finished issuing the order, Lu Caiwen was still confused.

"Father, what's the use of gathering heavy troops in Terracotta City at this time? According to the battle report, the bandits' troops are pointing at Fushun City!"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of anything that goes wrong! It's not a big deal for you to stay here now, take Xuemei and them back to Linhe." ”

Lu Caiwen wanted to run away for a long time, but the situation was not so urgent, and he was worried that Ying Xuemei would look down on him.

Now with Eagle Zuodong's approval, he is moved.

"But—"

"Go and prepare, I'll make it clear to Xuemei. ”

"Yes! Father's health is important, if you can't keep it, you will go back to Linhe! No matter what, as long as our Lu family is still there, father, you will be fine!"

"I understand. ”

......

Baiting City, which was destroyed by Eagle Zuodong yesterday, has more people at this time, but it is much more orderly than yesterday.

Where Ying Zuodong stood, Huang Hexuan also looked at the river like him.

"Order, the army is gathering at full speed outside the terracotta city!"

"Yes!"

......

Terracotta City is a small city with only 100,000 people, located between the Tianfu defense line and the Zhengmu River, northeast of Fushun City, and is the first batch of cities captured by the Fushun army when they left the city.

The terrain is mediocre, and there is no place to occupy whether it is offensive or defensive. Therefore, although Cangfeng and Guangwu were fighting fiercely near the Tianfu defense line, they were like outsiders here.

However, after Eagle Chokdong issued those orders, the terracotta city, which was unknown in the history of both countries, will leave a strong mark on history.

When Ying Zuodong arrived here on horseback, a large number of men and horses were digging trenches outside the city, and the defenders inside the city quietly increased from tens of thousands to 300,000.

Letter after letter came to him, and new letters went out from here.

The whole city is in full swing to prepare-

After a few hours, there were no signs of excavation outside the city.

Woo woo –

The ghostly Blood Tiger Iron Rider appeared from the avenue outside the south of the city, and spread out when it ran to five miles outside the terracotta city.

The eagle on the city wall was expressionless, and while all the soldiers behind him breathed a sigh of relief, the solemnity in his eyes also reached its peak.

"Don't panic, no matter how he Huang Hexuan uses his troops like a god this time, it is impossible to break through the Red Earth City!"

"Yes!"

......

Huang Hexuan looked at the terracotta city from afar, and an inexplicable sense of heaviness hit his heart.

"If you saw what I was up to, then I underestimated you. But no matter what, this time you will lose in the end!

"Pass my order - the left army will attack the west city gate, the right army will attack the east city gate, the middle army will attack the south city gate, and the blood tiger iron cavalry will guard the north city gate, go out one to kill one, go out two to kill a pair!"

"Yes!"

......

If the various cities are compared to people, then such as the terracotta city and the dark blue city are the homeless people on the verge of starvation, and the capital is the vast family who spends all day drinking and drinking.

Mafu.

Ma Ruyi was alone in the study, and after reading the letter, the corners of her eyes raised slightly.

"Finally dead. ”

Picking up another letter, his eyes slowly narrowing into a line.

"Gu Xuzhang and the majestic cavalry are on Tianxiong Island?!"

His legs shook rhythmically, and after a few breaths, he got up and walked out of the study.

In addition to the three major mansions of Eagle, Cai and Ma, there are many mansions in the capital. Although none of them are as majestic and luxurious as the three, some of them don't want to offend even the three families, and the Gu Mansion is one of them.

When the Gu family was at its strongest, the family had a history of three stabs. Protégés and former officials, all over Guangwu.

And now, except for Old Man Gu in charge of the Ministry of Rites, the younger generation does not have much interest.

The only thing that may make Old Man Gu a little relieved is that although he doesn't have much potential, he is still obedient and doesn't cause trouble.

However, there is an addition here, because Gu Xuzhang can't be counted in the category of not having much interest, being obedient, and not causing trouble.

He should be pulled out separately and put in the best classification that is neither promising nor obedient, and he especially likes to cause trouble, which can be traced back to the eighteen generations of the Gu family!

A good official of the ministry, after two years of being a minister, all the compounds gradually complained about the Gu family.

The old man often sighs that he can damage their old Gu family's signboard in such a short time, Gu Laosan is a capable person, he admires!

So he put the third child in a place where he could release his light and heat to the fullest - Liaodong.

He thought he could live on this, but it turned out that he was thinking too much.

As long as Jingguan goes down, no matter which faction he belongs to, he will definitely be able to make some moves with him.

Over time, though, he got used to it.

When he was teased by the third child, he often laughed at himself.

"It's okay, make a fuss about him, as long as you don't do the unfortunate thing that will tie the lives of everyone in our Gu family to his pants. ”

However, scolding is scolding, debasement is debasement, and when encountering various things, the old man is still very attentive to him.

Isn't this lost since Liaodong, what the old man does every day after going to court is to constantly send his family to Liaodong to look for him.

But this family went one after another, and there was almost no one at home, not to mention Gu Xuzhang himself, except for the first oath letter to shroud Guangwu Ma Ge, there was no news.

Old man Gu is so anxious, his hair is two white, and he can't do it any more.

At this time, he closed his eyes and pondered, and the butler hurried in.

"Master, the Imperial Doctor Ma asked to see him outside the mansion. ”

"Hmm, take him to the council chamber. ”

"Yes. ”

......

Although they will meet every day, polite words are still indispensable.

"Gu Shangshu is in good health, everything is going well!"

"Ahaha, Lord Ma is polite, please take a seat. Looking at Master Ma's face, he knew that something good was going to happen recently, and the lower officials congratulated him first. ”

"Then borrow Gu Shangshuji's words, this official came here to ask about something. ”

"Oh, Lord Ma, please speak. ”

Although the two are very polite, one is the leader of the Neutral Party and the other is one of the giants of the Riktochi Party, and they don't want to talk to each other much, so Ma Ruyi doesn't beat around the corner.

"The matter of the prime minister's recovery of Tianxiong Island, this official is a little concerned, I heard that San Lang is on Tianxiong Island today?"

"What?!"

Old Man Gu let out a low snort, and then his face quickly turned flat.

"The prime minister didn't talk about it to the lower officials, but I really don't know. ”

"This official naturally knows that Gu Shangshu doesn't know about this, because the prime minister has ordered that if the Guangwu Army on the island sees San Lang and Liu Changan, the former defender of Binzhou City, they will be killed!"

Old Man Gu's face finally changed.

"The lower official will go and ask the prime minister why. ”

"Well, then the official will go back first. ”

When the housekeeper came back to tell Ma Ruyi that he had left, Old Man Gu muttered to himself.

"Why did Ma Ruyi come here to tell me about this?"

The voice rose sharply again.

"What did this damn San Lang do to let the prime minister order him to be killed! Could it be that he really tied our family's heads to his pants?
