Smashing the store is to help you make a fortune, does this stupid woman understand?

Huangfu Sisi's enthusiasm and that hint of temptation and charm made Gu Qing quite unaccustomed.

Most men have flowery intestines, no matter how loyal they are, they can't help but look at Bai Huahua's long legs on the street, and they say "appreciate art" on the surface, and only he knows what dirty thoughts he has in his heart.

There is also the habit of secretly comparing other women with their own women, and in the end, all the people who come here will come to a conclusion, "The wife is still better than someone else's".

Gu Qing couldn't help but compare Huangfu Sisi with Zhang Huaiyu, from appearance to figure, from height to personality, after comparing inside and out, Gu Qing also came to a conclusion.

"It's better for my wife to talk less."

Huangfu Sisi didn't expect that the charm he showed to Gu Qing, intentional or unintentional temptation, not only did not add points to his charm, but was silently deducted a lot of points by Gu Qing because of his words.

However, Gu Qing's colorful inner activities did not disappoint her too much, because Gu Qing later silently added an additional conclusion in her heart.

"But it's better to take a concubine."

The conclusion is accurate, to the point, and at first glance, it is a person who will live.

…………

Scouts send out a lot, and they report messages from different directions every day.

On the morning of the third day after Gu Qing returned to Qiuci City, the scouts in the southeast of the Tulun Moraine Desert came with a news that they saw a small group of cavalry of unknown origin in the desert, with a cavalry team of about ten people, moving in the direction of Qiuci City.

Gu Qing attached great importance to this news, and immediately summoned Chang Zhong and others to discuss, and everyone agreed that this cavalry should be the vanguard scout of the Tubo army, and the Tubo army was not far from Qiuzi City.

Gu Qing immediately ordered scouts to closely monitor the southeast direction of the Tulun Moraine Desert, and sent more scouts to make a detour from the south and east to find traces of the main army of Tubo.

"The city defense will continue to be strengthened, and immediately collect everything that can be used in the city and carry it to the city, rolling logs, stones, fire oil, arrows, everything." Gu Qing pointed to Qiuzi City on the map and said, "The southern gate will be strengthened overnight, and the enemy is likely to focus on attacking the south gate." ”

Chang Zhong said hesitantly: "Master Hou, let's set up an ambush outside the city, the place of the decisive battle should be far away from the city, there is no need to pay so much attention to the city defense, right?" ”

Gu Qing said in an aggravated tone: "The city defense is the last line of defense in Qiuzi City, if the enemy does not enter our ambush, the city defense is the only lifeline for the officials and people in the city, and it is always right to take precautions." ”

Chang Zhong and others received the order.

The crowd dispersed, and Gu Qing looked up at the white clouds in the sky, and his face was worried.

The first time to command a battle, and it was a big battle of 10,000 people, the mood was really nervous and worried, the lives of tens of thousands of people in the city were all tied to a young man who had no command experience, would they also be worried about their fate?

The Tang Dynasty is no longer the Tang Dynasty during the Zhenguan period, and the number of victories and defeats in battles with the enemy is now difficult to predict.

After arranging the city defense, Gu Qing led the guards to leave Qiuzi City, set off to the southeast, observed the surrounding environment and terrain along the way, rode a horse and galloped for more than 20 miles, and finally found a undulating sand dune area.

The sand dunes are like hills, stretching for dozens of miles in the endless desert, and the elevation of the horizon ranges from more than ten zhang to several zhang.

Gu Qing rode on a horse, looked around for a long time, and quickly simulated the battlefield picture of his own ambush and encounter with the enemy in his mind, for a long time, he pointed to a sand dune in front of him and said: "This place is suitable for ambush, the sand dunes on three sides just form a pocket shape, if the Tubo army passes by from here, our army will come out on three sides, and finally send an army to cut off its rear road, and the enemy will be more auspicious ......and less auspicious."

Han Jie said: "Master Hou, did you summon our army and ambush it in advance?" ”

Gu Qing shook his head: "The water is impermanent, the soldiers are impermanent, the enemy will not choose the route of the march according to your wishes, it is useless for us to ambush in advance, it is the only thing that nerds who can only copy the military book do, we can't ambush in advance, everything can only be roughly determined when the enemy is approaching......

Saying that, Gu Qing glanced at the undulating sand dunes in front of him again, and sighed: "It would be great if the enemy could walk here according to my wishes, the place where the bones are buried with excellent feng shui, and if they die here, their descendants will definitely be rich......

For a whole afternoon, Gu Qing led his guards to survey the terrain in the nearby sand dunes, and after taking the surrounding terrain in mind, he turned around and returned to Qiuzi City.

Back at the Jiedu Embassy, Gu Qing immediately ordered someone to make a sand table.

It is not too difficult to make a sand table in the terrain outside Qiuzi City, it is a vast desert, but the height is different, the sand table is done quickly, Gu Qing took a lot of small flags, twisted his eyebrows and looked at the sand dunes on the sand table, and it took a long time to insert a small red flag somewhere on the sand table, and then hugged his chest and continued to think, and then inserted another one, sometimes he felt that it was inappropriate, and took down the small flag on the sand table and rethought the layout.

When night fell, Han Jie brought the food and said softly, "Master Hou, it's time to eat." ”

Gu Qing's eyes were still staring at the sand table, and he hummed casually, but he didn't move.

Han Jie sighed: "Master Hou, you have worked too hard, almost everything has been done in the past few days, it seems that the last general, your preparation and planning are enough, I have never seen a general so exhausted, you should take a rest." ”

Gu Qing didn't move, and said lightly: "Han Jie, have you ever carried tens of thousands of lives on your shoulders?" ”

"Nope."

Gu Qing sighed lightly: "I have, so, I can't afford to lose." ”

The hand holding many small flags trembled slightly, Gu Qing pursed his lips, trying to suppress the panic in his heart.

In the past, no matter who he fought with, winning or losing was just his own interests and his own future, but this time, there were tens of thousands of innocent lives.

The official and high lord swaggered through the market, and he only felt that it was a kind of identity in the past, but it was not until the war was approaching that he intuitively felt what kind of heavy pressure he needed to bear behind this identity.

In the future, he will have to endure more.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Qing put aside the small flag in his hand and suddenly smiled freely.

"The human calculation has been exhausted, and the loopholes I can think of have been closed, unless ...... People are not as good as heaven, that is the will of heaven. Come, let's eat. ”

Han Jie hurriedly served the food, Gu Qing held the bowl and raised the chopsticks, and when he saw a few dishes on the tray, his movements suddenly froze, and the hand holding the chopsticks froze in mid-air for a long time.

Han Jie said with a smile: "Today's meal was made by the female shopkeeper of Fuzhi Inn, and it is said that it took a lot of thought......

Gu Qing was still holding his chopsticks still, and the several dishes in front of him were a little thin, making people have no appetite at first glance.

For Gu Qing, eating is to taste the food, not to survive, when Shiqiao Village was so poor, the food he made was still extremely exquisite and delicious, that is called life.

But these dishes in front of you ......

"Is her cook's hands useless? Why wasn't it made by her cook? Gu Qing asked.

Han Jie was stunned for a moment and said, "The female shopkeeper said that this is her heart......"

The heart is rare, and it is the most difficult to accept the grace of beauty.

So Gu Qing decisively decided not to take it.

Putting down the chopsticks, Gu Qing said solemnly: "The big war is coming, I am the commander of a city, I can't have an accident." ”

Han Jie tried hard to catch up with Gu Qing's jumping thoughts: "Yes, of course Master Hou can't have an accident." ”

Gu Qing calmly pointed to the food in front of him, and said, "If I don't eat this meal, nothing will happen, if I eat, it won't be necessarily, maybe the Soul Banner will be raised in the Jiedu Embassy in half an hour......

Han Jie was stunned: "It's not that serious, right?" Master Hou, you haven't tasted this meal yet......"

"I command you to taste it."

Han Jie unceremoniously raised his chopsticks and tried a bite of steamed pork, and then his face turned blue, and he almost vomited.

Gu Qing smiled: "You see, there are actually many pits in life that can be avoided calmly, when this thing in front of you looks like a pit at a glance, you don't have to jump down to verify whether it is a pit or not,...... You'll know if you let someone else jump down. ”

Han Jie couldn't speak, he still wanted to vomit.

It's hard to imagine that such a beautiful girl makes such a delicious meal, it's just that, where did she get the courage to cook for Hou Ye herself?

Gu Qing sighed lightly, from this point of view, Zhang Huaiyu was obviously much cuter, when she tried once and found that she had no talent for cooking, she gave up decisively and never tried again.

And this female shopkeeper named Du Sisi is obviously a tough temper, and the less talented she is, the more she has to try.

"Return these dishes to the inn intact, just say that it was my order, let the female shopkeeper eat all for me, no leftovers, if she can't eat it, she will smash her broken shop."

Gu Qing felt that her order was very merciful, and it was very polite not to cure her for the crime of poisoning and murdering the boss, after all, she was a friend.

…………

The next morning, the scout came again.

Traces of the Tibetan army have been found, and they are still marching in the direction of Qiuci City on the edge of the Tulun Moraine Desert, with about 20,000 people.

Gu Qing beat drums to gather the generals, summoned the scouts to the Jiedu Embassy, and asked him to mark the general route of the Tubo army on the sand table.

Inserting the small white flags on the sand table, Gu Qing hugged his chest and muttered: "30,000 people have divided 20,000 to attack Qiuci, it seems that they attach a lot of importance to Qiuci City, and it is reasonable that the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate and the Jiedu Envoy Mansion are both in Qiuci City." ”

Chang Zhong and the others got up and clenched their fists: "The enemy has arrived, the last general is invited to fight!" ”

Gu Qing stared at the sand table and said, "The order is that there are two thousand people left in Qiuzi City, and the rest of the soldiers and horses are all leaving the city." ”

Pointing to a sand dune area next to the small white flag on the sand table, Gu Qing planted a small red flag in three directions, and said: "On the back of the sand dunes on these three sides, there are three thousand soldiers and horses in ambush, before receiving the enemy, first get rid of the enemy's scouts, and then ambush a group of soldiers and horses in the east, and immediately block the retreat of the Tubo army after the battle, and encircle and annihilate it!" ”
