Chu Qi just smiled, "I should retire." ”

Gu Che laughed and shook his head.

In August, as Gu Che expected, Yuan De led a large army to the south and directly marched to Jiangdu, with the momentum of wanting to compete with Jiangdong.

Gu Che laughed a little, Xi Zhen was detained in the capital of Chu to take charge of internal affairs, and the war was completely out of his hands. Although Gu Che fought all the way was not overwhelming, it was not a big loss.

Gu Che has been completely obsessed with the war recently, and after another game, Gu Che washed away the dust before spreading out the map on the side and discussing the attack with Zhang Chu.

The state of Chu attacked Jiangdong this time, and it did not know the outcome yet.

However, the answer is nothing more than that both countries lose, or Jiangdong wins, or Chu wins.

In either case, Jiangdong and Chu will not shake hands and make peace again in a short period of time. Then either both sides are the same, and the other is weaker.

The three-legged stand is the most stable, and once one side is cannibalized, then the winning side of the other two sides will be shuffled.

Before Yuan De came back, it was the best time for Da Yue to attack the Chu State.

While Gu Che was discussing with Zhang Chu, Chu Qi said some key points from time to time, and Gu Che began to put forward possibilities again.

After discussing this for a few hours, it was finally settled, Zhang Chu went to reorganize the army, and Gu Che drank tea with Chu Qi.

Chu Qi looked at it for a while and then laughed, "What the period said last time was wrong, and General Gu and Yu Gui are actually not very similar. ”

"Huh?" Gu Che looked over, but he didn't expect Chu Qi to mention this again.

Chu Qi smiled, "At least it's not similar now." ”

"How?" Gu Che wasn't actually particularly interested in this topic, so he just dealt with it briefly.

"For Yu Gui, it doesn't mean much to him how big Jiangdong can expand." Chu Qi smiled, "You can see from the focus of his conversation and that mood. Chu Qi spoke, "I originally thought that General Gu was like this. ”

"Me?" Gu Che thought for a moment, then laughed, "Isn't it?" ”

"At least not yet." Chu Qi looked at Gu Che, "The old man is very curious about what changed General Gu. ”

Gu Che smiled, but his heart was a little shocked, when did he change it?

Gu Che put down the teacup and glanced at the topographic map, and then looked at the table on the other side.

Yes, no matter what I did at the beginning, I would think about how the Gu family was and how I could be. However, now more and more information and intelligence are paying attention to other things above the court.

Have you changed?

Gu Che didn't think so, because Gu Che was still not a person who cared about the world. She has no ambition to dominate the world, nor does she have the idea of creating a prosperous world.

Gu Che's psychology is very clear, but recently, he has undoubtedly seen that he wants to take Da Yue to a higher height.

Why......

Gu Che smiled and nodded, "People always have to have a little dream in life." ”

Chu Qi lowered his eyes and smiled, "The general has been very uneasy recently? ”

"Disturbed?" Gu Che let out a sigh, "It's a little bit." ”

"Because of the court?" Chu Qi looked at Gu Che.

Ye Huai recently moved out a piece of imperial decree, and all officials need to be recommended by local families. This move undoubtedly increased the core rights of the Maison and consolidated its position.

Now that Ye Huai needs the support of the family to ascend to the throne, Gu Che looked at Chu Qi and smiled, "What's so disturbing about this?" ”

Chu Qi, "Well...... "The general is very confident in the king." ”

"He knows more about this than I do." Gu Che replied casually, and then looked to the side again.

Chu Qi laughed, "Then what other concerns does the general have?" ”

Gu Che thought to the side for a while before he spoke, "Obviously, it is the same as what I expected and laid out before, but it is still a little shocking. ”

"Alarming what?" Chu Qi took a sip of tea.

"I originally thought that a person like Xu You would definitely die on the battlefield if he broke the back road, but I didn't expect to be captured alive." Gu Che shook his head to the side, "Since he was captured alive, then he has long been out of what I thought at the beginning, and Jiangdong has no reason to kill him at all...... And ......"

Chu Qi picked up the fan on the side and fanned it, "What kind of person should He Xiao be in Lord Yu's heart?" ”

Gu Che hadn't seen He Xiao, but after thinking about it for a while, he spoke, "Politician." ”

Chu Qi laughed, "What about the king?" ”

"Of course he is also ......" Gu Che stopped when he said this, in the past, Gu Che had always felt that Ye Huai was a politician through and through, but since he came to power, Ye Huai has done a lot of things that are not like politicians would do.

"Yes." Chu Qi smiled, "There is a reason for the king, so He Xiao also has the reason for He Xiao." He has never been on the battlefield a few times, and he has no prestige in the army before he took over the burden of Jiangdong from his brother. Chu Qi said and smiled again, "And the previous Dasheng, Unicom marriages are more actually assisted by other courtiers, no matter what, the world will only think that these courtiers left by He Hao are the biggest reason, as for He Xiao's ......"

Gu Che was taken aback for a moment before laughing, "What Mr. Chu means is that he actually wants to break this situation. ”

Chu Qi laughed, and his shoulders shook twice, "Human nature is like this, before He Xiao probably also thought that He Hao's Jiangdong would not decline in his hands, but when the real Jiangdong could look at it, he wanted to surpass his dead brother." ”

"That's why Jingzhou will let Yu return this time, because Yu Gui is not the person left by He Zhen." Gu Che responded.

Chu Qi nodded.

And Yuan De, this Gu Che has never looked down on him very much before, and he will use a gentle policy with everyone, and he speaks very beautifully. In Gu Che's heart, this is just an ambition hidden under the woo.

Gu Che knew that Jiang Dong would not give up after killing Xu You and Yuan De, and he would resent Xi Zhen.

However, the biggest reason for the defeat was not Xi Zhen, but Xu You's own underestimation of the enemy. Therefore, Yuan De will definitely comfort Xi Zhen on the bright side, but human nature is like this, the better he treats Xi Zhen on the bright side, the greater the resentment in his heart.

How could someone like Xi Zhen not notice it?

However, Yuan De was not as good as Gu Che expected, he did not have any relief for Xi Zhen, but said that Xi Zhen did not do what he should do as a military officer when he was proud of a general, so he directly treated him coldly. But then the matter is one.

After that, he actually personally raised almost half of the troops of the Chu State to directly attack Jiangdong.

This person who abandoned his wife and brother and ran away by himself three or four times actually became a little taller in Gu Che's eyes, such a Yuan De......

He will abandon because in troubled times, women's lives are inherently mustard, and these generals and brothers will not be in danger.

Even though he was criticized by the world, he still did it. This was also a rare courage.

I've always misjudged Yuan De......

As Chu Qi said, now the tripartite forces, whether it is Ye Huai, Yuan De, or He Xiao, are all changing.

Gu Che shook his head, "It turns out that only I am still in the same place." ”

"Where is the general?" Chu Qi smiled, "The general used to care so much about the gains and losses of one city and one pool, but now he already knows how to gain because of giving." ”

Do you gain by giving......

Gu Che smiled, she had learned it a long time ago, many, many years ago.

As early as when that person chose to step back when he stretched out his hand, he had already learned.

Sad? Of course.

Regret it? No.

"Rest early." Gu Che patted Chu Qi on the shoulder, "It's that we are all in the house, even Zhang Chu has always doubted himself from the beginning to the general who is now in charge, but Mr. Chu is still like this...... Hmmm......"

Gu Che thought about it, but smiled and didn't continue.

Chu Qi touched his beard, "I have lived for more than sixty years, and I have long looked down on these." ”

However, in September, a piece of news came from Jiangdong that shook everyone again.

On the way back to Jiangdu, Song Qin's old illness relapsed and died.

Such a famous general who followed He Hao all the way to Jiangdong and fought the most drifting defensive counterattack died on the way out, in the tenth year after He Hao's death.

The whole country of Jiangdong was mourned.

If Xu You is the No. 2 person in the Chu State, then Song Qin is the No. 2 person in Jiangdong.

It can even be said that in Jiangdong's camp, He Xiao's prestige may not be higher than that of Song Qin.

There is Lang Jun like this, how about He Xibi. ①

However, no matter what kind of atmosphere Jiangdong was in, Gu Che was nervous about another matter. Once Song Qin is gone, who will be in command in Jiangdong?

And without Song Qin, Jiangdong doesn't seem to have much chance of winning.

The Jiangdong army was good at water warfare, but Yuan De bypassed it directly from the mountain road and would not enter the water at all.

In October, Yi Cheng became the governor and took the position of Song Qin. However, it was Yu Gui who urgently took command and went to Jiangdu.

"Yu Gui......" Gu Che smiled as he read the name.

It seems that He Xiao is very optimistic about this general.

He Xiao married He Zhen's daughter and his niece to Yu Gui, which can be regarded as a smile after telling the world that Qin and Jin are good, even if they laugh at the enmity of the previous generation.

Presumably, He Xiao also had great expectations for Gui, and after having the two-eyed expression of the Battle of Jingzhou, he actually made him the commander-in-chief of the three armies that blocked Yuan De this time.

Gu Che was actually looking forward to it for a while, and said a common saying, when Yuan De was famous all over the world, it wasn't long after Yu Hui was born, and now the two of them have some meaning when they meet.

Jiangdong has no He Zhen, and there is no Song Qin, is it still that song Jiangdong?

Gu Che took advantage of the stalemate between the two sides and directly seized a city.

This time, the city is a traffic fortress, so naturally it is the defeat before the draw. At this point, the Great Vietnamese Army breathed a sigh of relief, and the gloomy mood that had risen from the gloomy loss of the city in the past few months became clear.

However, at a time when the front line was scorching, a news came from Yunzhou, the rear of Dayue, that shocked the world.

Obviously, a few months ago, Ye Huai insisted on making Shen Ji the queen when everyone didn't believe it, but a few months later, a lot of things have changed.

"Death."

All Gu Che got on the front line was these two words.
