When Gu Jiangyuan's personal soldiers found his uncle Li Changping, it had already passed for half a day, Li Changping had stayed in Dingzhou for many years, and had his own mansion, and the mansion was empty when the soldiers went, and finally found him, and it was already at another city gate in Dingzhou, adjacent to the city gate on the official road outside Bianliang City.

Li Changping is well-intentioned, after receiving the news that the Gui tribe retreated and Gu Jiangyuan wanted to lead the troops back to the dynasty, he wanted to add joy to the country, and wanted to take advantage of the time when the northern Xinjiang was stable to take the opportunity to wipe out the gang of mountain bandits led by Huang Hao, but he didn't expect that Huang Hao had recruited troops to buy horses and occupy the mountain as the king over the years, and accumulated a lot of manpower and material resources.

Thinking clearly that this might be Huang Hao's off-tune tiger leaving the mountain, it was too late, Li Changping led the army back to Dingzhou City, but found that Huang Hao was already burning, killing and looting.

Li Changping was worried that the stray arrows would hurt the people of Dingzhou City, and on the other hand, he had to beware of Huang Hao taking people out of the city.

This bandit leader Huang Hao is a man with brains, knowing that Gu Jiangyuan won the battle and was going to lead the army back to the dynasty, so he did not dare to order his people to flow to Shuobei, but led people straight down to Bianliang, wanting to do the thing of supporting the army and respecting himself and adding yellow robes.

A hundred years of banditry is a spectacular historical writing, the mountain bandits who went out of the city with Huang Hao actually had 10,000 people, the war in Shuobei was tight before, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court were all allocated to Gu Jiangyuan and Li Changping, and now the people stationed in Bianliang are only Hui Jinghe and the gang of people under him, and the gang of people have become rice buckets with Hui Jinghe, where can they be expected to resist these ten thousand mountain bandits.

Li Changping hurriedly led people to pursue, and poured 50,000 troops into intercepting Huang Luxury's way.

This fierce battle took place at the foot of Dingzhou City, Huang Hao led the remaining bandits to flee back to Dingzhou Mountain, Li Changping was seriously injured, the soldiers were in chaos, and the military newspaper could not be sent to Bianliang, which is also the reason why Lu Guitang's previous letters were blocked in Dingzhou.

……

The sky was dark in a blink of an eye, and several oil lamps were burned in the Dingzhou military tent, and Gu Jiangyuan was pacing outside the tent.

The curtain was lifted, and a military doctor came out to pay attention.

Gu Jiangyuan turned around and was almost stained by the residual blood on the hands of the military doctor, he avoided it in a panic and hurriedly asked, "How is Uncle Guo?" ”

The military doctor arched his hand: "Back to the marshal, Uncle Guo was injured in the back of his heart and left arm, the injury is quite serious, and the last general will not dare to save his life, nor dare to guarantee whether Uncle Guo can lead the army to fight after his injury is healed." ”

Before he finished speaking, Gu Jiangyuan lifted the curtain and entered the military tent, he is not a chronic person, he can see how Li Changping is injured with his own eyes, he was waiting outside for fear of delaying the military doctor to treat his injury.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Gu Jiangyuan, who had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, was still stunned, where was that arm injured, it was almost useless, no wonder the military doctor was so vague!

Li Changping was injured in the back of the heart, there was no one around him at that time, no one saw what weapon hurt him, Gu Jiangyuan approached and took a closer look, and judged that it was caused by a long knife, which was also consistent with the blades used by the mountain bandits.

It's just that the severity of the knife wound split straight from the back of his heart, and the blade fell on his left arm, and the knife wound was deep enough to see the bone.

When Gu Jiangyuan came in, the wounds had already been bandaged, and he couldn't tell if the injury had hurt the bones, if it was, it would really answer the words of the military doctor that he could not lead the troops to fight in the future.

Gu Jiangyuan sighed and muttered: "It's for your nephew who Yu Yu is alone, you have to save this life." ”

"Father."

Gu Jiangyuan heard the sound of Gu Haomian outside the tent, so he went out of the tent again and ordered the military doctor to go in and take care of it.

The father and son walked along the military tent until they reached the foot of Dingzhou Mountain, and Gu Haomian opened his mouth again.

"Father, the people outside the city have settled down, and our people will take care of them personally."

At this time, he was not in the army, so Gu Haomian no longer called him "marshal".

Gu Jiangyuan nodded, and said: "We shouldn't interfere in the affairs of Dingzhou, when Uncle Guo wakes up, we have to leave to return to the dynasty quickly." ”

Although the general will not accept the order of the foreign monarch, but the current saint is afraid of Li Changping, Gu Jiangyuan and his son have been away from the court disputes for many years, and they don't know the attitude of the saint now, they privately use Shuobei's troops in Dingzhou to pacify the bandits, I am afraid that it will attract criticism from the court.

Now that the return to the dynasty is imminent, they are one step closer to the verbal confrontation in Bianliang City.

Gu Haomian knew the stakes involved, so he should deal with the matter, but he found that he still had a problem: "Father, how is Uncle Guo's injury?" ”

Gu Jiangyuan looked at the full moon in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh: "Uncle Guo's injury can only be done to obey the destiny of heaven." ”

Gu Haomian looked at it, and when he came back, he passed by the tent of decoction, and the soldiers in it were not lightly injured, and there was a group of soldiers who died in the city of Dingzhou who did not sleep peacefully, and this battle suffered heavy losses.

He followed his father's gaze to see the moon in the sky, and understood that his hometown, which he had not returned to for many years, was in front of him, and he also understood that the old man he had not seen for many years was about to be seen.

"But, father, if Uncle Guo loses power, wouldn't His Royal Highness King Xian?"

Gu Jiangyuan sighed softly when he heard this, it was cold at night, and this sigh let out a breath of white air.

He said, "If that's the case, your sister's marriage should have been done earlier." ”

What Gu Jiangyuan said was the marriage between Gu Xiang and Lu Guitang.

Although Gu Jiangyuan has been far away in Shuobei over the years, he also knows that this battle will eventually be fought one day, when the military power will be returned to the royal family, and the Gu family will become the most idle family in Bianliang City.

He secretly occupied Lu Guitang's battle line through the marriage contract between King Xian and Gu Xiang, in order to seek the stability of the Gu family.

Lu Guitang has Li Changping's soldiers behind him, and the 50,000 soldiers and horses are far more secure than the 100,000 soldiers in Gu Jiangyuan's hands, and the distant relatives are not as good as the close neighbors, not to mention that the close neighbor Li Changping is his own uncle.

But now that Li Changping is not good for suppressing bandits, even if he is not injured in the future, the saint will also blame him for leading the troops unfavorably, and I don't know whose hands these 50,000 troops will fall at that time. Therefore, the marriage between Gu Xiang and Lu Guitang is indeed going to be as soon as possible, with the involvement of marriage, the Gu family can spare no effort to assist the prince, and the prince can also take care of his wife and family and prosper the family.

Gu Haomian chuckled and avoided this heart-wrenching topic.

The man's voice was clean and clear: "Speaking of my sister, my son is very worried about it, not only the third sister, but also the second sister." ”

I don't know if it's more timid to be close to home, and the topic of family is not as easy as imagined.

Gu Jiangyuan also smiled: "Yes, Jin'er's girl is not in good health, but she often worries me." ”
