There is no secret in the world, especially the secret of 30,000 people.

From formulating offensive goals, to studying specific routes, and then preparing grain, grass, weapons, and horses, and assembling a large army to drive out, every link may be seen by irrelevant outsiders, resulting in a loss of secrets.

Gu Qing didn't believe that the Tubo army could really be unaware, the old king next door who stole other people's wives had a high chance of being caught and raped by her husband in bed, how could 30,000 people running thousands of miles be so seamless?

Since the scouts can't find out the movements of the Tubo army, it is better to try with reverse thinking, the Tubo merchants also came out of Tubo, if there happen to be so many merchants who know the target of the Tubo army, this matter will be solved for the most part.

Not necessarily successful, but worth a try.

Han Jie immediately selected a few articulate people from among the guards, and immediately mounted his war horse and galloped towards Qiuzi City.

As for whether the guards can get information from the Tibetan merchants, it depends on their ability, move with affection, know with reason, scare them, and lure them to profit, if the human nature of the Tibetan merchants is still unwavering after such a toss, then ...... He was certainly not a businessman, but a spy secretly trained by Tibet.

Taking a nap alone in the tent, Gu Qing woke up in the middle of the night when the sky was full of stars.

Walking out of the handsome tent and stretching his waist, like a awakened lion patrolling his territory, Gu Qing slowly walked around the handsome tent.

One of the guards stepped forward and handed over a piece of dry food for the march, rice balls made of millet mixed with a pinch of salt, and a small bowl of soup with no apparent texture.

The guard is an old acquaintance, and Chi Yan, who has been the penultimate of the left guard all the year round, has been unwavering Chi Yan, since he learned that this is his bottom, Gu Qing decisively transferred him to his side as a personal guard in excitement.

The person who makes himself rich is a lucky star, and the person who makes himself look less defeated is a koi, Chi Yan is an out-and-out koi, and if you kick him, you may forget who kicked him after seven seconds, which is very cute.

Taking the rice balls and soup handed by Chi Yan, Gu Qing frowned: "Just eat this?" ”

Chi Yan scratched his head: "Didn't Master Hou order to eat with the soldiers every day?" This is what the soldiers all eat. ”

Gu Qing sighed: "You are really a straight man...... That being said, but am I really eating the same as the soldiers? Don't you allow me to be hypocritical? Did you let your guards sneak so much meat on the road for hunting? ”

Chi Yan was stunned and said, "What does Master Hou mean ......"

"Find someone with good skills, secretly barbecue some meat in my handsome tent, don't let people find out, I'll go through the motions with the soldiers first and show off my acting skills......"

After Gu Qing finished speaking, he took the rice ball and randomly chose a barracks and went in.

The soldiers in the barracks were gathering to chat, and when they saw Gu Qing coming in, everyone stood up and saluted.

Gu Qing smiled and waved his hand, then sat on the ground, nibbled on the rice ball in front of the soldiers, chatted with the soldiers while eating, and then left, went into another barracks, continued to eat balls, and chatted......

After drilling more than a dozen barracks, the rice balls in his hand were finally eaten, and Gu Qing walked towards the handsome tent with Chi Yan.

Seeing that Chi Yan was speechless all the way, Gu Qing suddenly smiled and said, "Do you think I'm hypocritical, eating a rice ball and playing with so many hearts." ”

Chi Yan hurriedly said: "Hou Ye has his own Hou Ye's truth, and the villain will never dare to have the slightest disrespect for Hou Ye." ”

Gu Qing shook his head: "Actually, it doesn't hurt to say that I am hypocritical, as the coach, eating and sleeping with the soldiers is a gesture, this posture must be seen by the soldiers, let them see with their own eyes what the coach eats, the coach eats the same as everyone is easy to get the support of the soldiers, including my personal participation in the daily drills, it is also a gesture." ”

Chi Yan said movingly: "Hou Ye's daily drills are all in the eyes of the brothers, whether it is a gesture or not, your contribution is real, no less than half a point than anyone else, and the soldiers admire Hou Ye in private." ”

Gu Qing said with a smile: "I really take the daily drill, because my efforts are not adulterated, every drop of sweat is real, as for the rice balls I ate just now, they belong to the scope of acting, which can be understood as winning people's hearts, not good, but it is the truth." ”

Chi Yan was stunned, he didn't expect Gu Qing to say what was in his heart so calmly, few people were willing to cut open the dark side of their hearts and take it out in front of others without any scruples, but Gu Qing didn't care.

"Hou Ye, Hou Ye can say such considerate words to the villain, it is the honor of the villain, Hou Ye rest assured, the villain will not leak a word to the outside world." Chi Yan's face flushed and stammered.

Gu Qing smiled: "Look, people's hearts are so easy to win over, have you ever thought that in fact, the words I just said to you are also to win your hearts?" ”

Chi Yan finally gradually got used to Gu Qing's style of speaking, his expression was no longer so nervous, and he smiled when he heard this: "Even if it is to win people's hearts, the villain will admit it, if the Hou Ye encounters danger in the future, the villain will spare his life to protect the Hou Ye." ”

Gu Qing sighed: "You guys, you are 'giving up your life' at every turn, 'sacrificing your life', serving everyone to death, as if your father and mother gave birth to you for decades just to be cannon fodder for a big person, didn't marry your mother-in-law and didn't give birth to a baby, is it so easy to say life and death?" ”

Chi Yan lowered his head and whispered: "Married ......"

"Huh?"

"The villain has married his mother-in-law, and the babies are two......" Chi Yan smiled shyly.

Gu Qing was shocked: "How old are you this year?" ”

"Nineteen years old. The villain got married at the age of sixteen, hehe. ”

Gu Qing tried to squeeze out a smile: "...... Bless your whole family. ”

Chi Yan said curiously: "Isn't Master Hou married yet?" A handsome character like Hou Ye, why hasn't he gotten married yet? ”

For some reason, Gu Qing suddenly felt tightness in his chest and panicked.

"Ah, don't worry, the Huns have not been destroyed, why do you want to be at home, fight on the battlefield for the country, and pacify the world, where can you take care of the private feelings of your children......" Gu Qing smiled.

"Destroying the Huns will not delay marrying a mother-in-law and giving birth to a baby, blowing the lamp and trembling a few times, it really won't be delayed."

"I ...... There may be more than a few shivers, so it's a bit of a delay. Gu Qing's throat was a little dry, and he felt a little strange in his heart, why did the topic of chatting suddenly become so weird......

Chi Yan showed an expression of high mountain admiration: "Master Hou is mighty!" ”

Gu Qing was inexplicably a little weak-hearted, and he didn't know how much he could tremble.

Patting Chi Yan's shoulder, Gu Qing smiled and said: "Since you married your mother-in-law and gave birth to a baby, you naturally have motivation, you shouldn't still be the first to last, so let's do it, you run four laps around the camp and exercise more......"

Chi Yan was stunned: "Four laps? Master Hou, this is a camp of 10,000 people. ...... in the middle of the night"

"Go ahead, after four laps, you're going to be a completely different you. Trust me, go ahead. ”

The military order cannot be violated, and Chi Yan ran in circles full of questions.

Gu Qing stared at his back and smiled happily.

I don't know why, my heart suddenly felt much better, some people couldn't say what was bad about him, but they didn't punish him for a while, only if he let him fall into the sky, Gu Qing would have a good idea.

…………

Late at night, the camp of the Anxi army marshal.

Gao Xianzhi's handsome tent is set up in the middle of the camp, the camp is very regular, spread out in the shape of plum blossoms, neatly and orderly, Gao Xianzhi's handsome tent is tightly surrounded in the middle by the camp tents of the left and right guards with the momentum of guards.

It was silent in the middle of the night, the soldiers had already fallen asleep, and there was no sound around, only a few faint wolf howls could be heard in the distance, and the sound of the nail leaf crashing when the soldiers on the night patrol walked.

A black figure silently climbed into the fence outside the tent, staring at the tent that was still lit not far away.

The figure is hidden in the darkness, completely blending in with the dark night, and is difficult to spot.

After a long time, the black figure suddenly took off the strong bow and arrows from the back, put the bow on the arrow, the tip of the snow bright arrow pointed directly at the handsome tent, and with a whoosh, the arrow shot out of the air, and after shooting the handsome tent through a hole, it actually extinguished the only oil lamp in the handsome tent with an arrow.

There was a roar in the tent, and then, torches were lit in the tents of the surrounding guards, and countless disheveled guards quickly drew their swords out of their sheaths and surrounded the tents.

"There's an assassin in the Assassin's line!"

The guards outside were frightened, and the general inside immediately said: "The commander is fine, immediately track down the whereabouts of the assassin, the arrow is coming from the southeast!" ”

The camp in the middle of the night suddenly boiled.

Torches were lit, and all the soldiers were ordered to stay in the tents and not to move rashly, and the generals rushed into the tents in a rage, and began to take roll calls and check the interior.

Several cavalry teams came out of the camp and rode around the camp to look for clues of the assassins, and the Zuowei battalion, which was ten miles away, was also informed of Gao Xianzhi's assassination by people sent by the Anxi army.

Gu Qing, who had only slept for less than an hour, was woken up and yawned with an impatient expression.

"People have been stabbed in the handsome tent, is there a sieve around Gao Xianzhi's handsome tent? Any cat or dog can mix in......" Gu Qing said dissatisfiedly.

Han Jie looked vigilant, and without saying a word, he immediately arranged for the guards to increase the sentry posts around the handsome tent, with Gao Xianzhi's experience, Han Jie didn't dare to be careless, if the assassin stabbed Gao Xianzhi and gave Gu Qing an arrow, even if Chang'an didn't ask Han Jie's guilt, Han Jie didn't have the face to live, so he simply drew his sword and wiped his neck.

"Master Hou is still more careful, maybe the assassin is watching our every move outside our tent at this time." Han Jie looked around vigilantly, it was pitch black all around, and he couldn't see anything.

Gu Qing smiled: "How stupid would an assassin do such a thing, after stabbing one, he will immediately stab the other, when my tens of thousands of troops are muddy?" Don't worry, I don't know in the future, at least tonight he will never dare to assassinate again. ”

"Master Hou, the last general guessed that the assassin was probably the Tibetan scout, if the Anxi army could hold the assassin tonight, he would definitely be able to ask about the movements of the Tibetan thieves under torture." Han Jie rubbed his hands together and said excitedly.
