Chapter 286

"(diàn)下......"

Chu Xiang still had something to say, Gu Xuebin waved his hand and signaled that everyone could retreat. Then he said: "Vice General Chu, Vice General Chen, you two stay." ”

Chen Kuo didn't have much prejudice against Su Jinyao, but after listening to Su Jinyao's description just now, he also considered the war python and hyena, and knew that it was not so easy to deal with. So psychologically, he was biased towards Su Jinyao's side and didn't agree with Chu Xiang's immediate war.

Now that Gu Xuebin let the two of them stay, Chen Kuo took the opportunity to pull Chu Xiang's sleeve and said in a low voice: "I also think that Miss Liu's analysis is reasonable. In the last ten years, the Qingfan people have grown and strengthened, and their army has also expanded a lot. But ten years will not turn all children into real soldiers. Therefore, among Qingfan's soldiers, most of them are young people, but they may not have rich combat experience. If it were me, I wouldn't be willing to sacrifice these unprepared young people, and I would use hyenas, war pythons, monkeys, and the like as the main force of attack. This will disrupt us and cause us losses, which is the most effective way to attack. So I think Miss Liu is right. ”

"Chen Kuo, how can you grow the ambition of others and destroy the prestige of your own people?" After Chu Xiang finished speaking, he glanced at Su Jinyao and said, "I don't just mean that Miss Liu is a woman, but I think that a fighter plane is a fighter plane, even if the prince (diàn) wants to delay the fighter plane, I will directly oppose it." ”

"Okay." Gu Xuebin suddenly walked over, patted Chu Xiang's shoulder, and said, "In my army, I really need someone like you who is upright and dares to speak his heart. Although, the fighter plane you mentioned does seem to be a bit of a child's play under Ben (diàn), but in recognition of your courage to speak out, Ben (diàn) will give you an advance force, set off tonight, and go to attack the camp of the Qingfan people. ”

"What?" Chen Kuo and Chu Xiang didn't expect Gu Xuebin to make such a decision, and both of them were surprised.

And Chen Kuo secretly glanced at Su Jinyao, and felt in his heart that maybe it was because of this woman's relationship, the prince (diàn) intended to give Chu Xiang a dismissal.

Su Jinyao stood aside, as if this matter had nothing to do with her, and only looked down at the map on the table.

Chen Kuo originally thought that Su Jinyao would be able to say a few words for Chu Xiang, but seeing that Su Jinyao had no intention of taking care of it, he could only sigh helplessly, and the good impression of Su Jinyao in his heart ran away again.

Chu Xiang was quite pleased, and said: "Since Chu Xiang can get the praise of His Majesty (diàn) and be able to send troops as a vanguard, of course, he will not fail in his mission, and he will do his best to fight the arrogance of the Qingfan people." ”

"Alright, I'll give you a horse team of 3,000 men, go and get some troops now, and set off before midnight." After Gu Xuebin finished speaking, he took a token from the table and handed it to Chu Xiang with both hands.

Chu Xiang took the token, and his mood was different.

Even though he only has a horse team of 3,000 people, but the camp of the Qingfan people is currently only more than 10,000 people, and he is going to sneak attack, and the chance of victory is relatively good.

If this sneak attack can be won in one fell swoop, he Chu Xiang will win the first battle and win a big victory, and the credit will naturally not be said, just for that woman, he will suppress a lot.

After Gu Xuebin handed over the token, he turned around and took out another token, handed it to Chen Kuo, and said, "Vice General Chen, I will give you a horse team of 5,000 people, and you will set off immediately after Vice General Chu leaves the camp." Keep a distance of three miles from them, and both horses and soldiers should move forward cautiously, mainly in concealment, and do not attack lightly. Unless Vice Admiral Chu has an outcome that is difficult to deal with, or is in an extremely dangerous situation (qíng), you can send troops to the rescue. ”

"Yes." Chen Kuo took the token and glanced at Chu Xiang.

Chu Xiang was also stunned. He made him a pioneer, but only gave him 3,000 men. However, from the perspective of sneak attack, 3,000 people is not a lot, and you can't go to ambush with 10,000 or 20,000 people, the goal is too obvious.

But there were 5,000 people in the team that gave Chen Kuo, and they were clearly explained that they were going to rescue themselves, which ...... It's a slap in the face.

A team of 3,000 people has to send 5,000 people to save it, what a big problem and how dangerous it must be.

Gu Xuebin put his hand behind his back and said, "Since it has been arranged, the two of you will go down and prepare." And the order went down, tonight except for the soldiers who had been assigned to carry out the mission, everyone else went to bed early, and tomorrow (rì) early in the morning the whole army set off, straight to the high ground fifteen miles away from Fengpo. ”

"Yes." After Chu Xiang and Chen Kuo agreed together, they went out with their respective tokens.

After the two left, Su Jinyao sighed, looked up and asked Gu Xuebin, "I really don't know, are you helping me or harming me?" Aren't you afraid that you, the soldiers, have a bigger opinion of me? In response to Su Jinyao's question, Gu Xuebin just smiled slightly, walked over and pulled Su Jinyao to sit down, and then said, "Then what does Jinyao think I should do?" ”

Su Jinyao frowned and analyzed: "If it is according to my wishes, of course, you must stick to the Lord, but your soldiers will definitely not agree; But that's exactly what I mean, you know how powerful those pythons are, so you don't want your soldiers to face a threat of death that can be avoided...... Therefore, you simply give up a Chu Xiang and let him, a stunned young man, go into trouble and poke a basket out. Not only did it frustrate Chu Xiang's arrogance, but also let the soldiers understand your hard work, killing two birds with one stone. ”

Gu Xuebin nodded and said with a smile: "It's still Jin Yao who is smart and knows my mind well." However, it is not as exaggerated as killing two birds with one stone. I just want Chu Xiang to touch the nails, and let Chen Kuo go to sweep the battle for him, so as to ensure that none of them will have too many casualties. ”

After a pause, Gu Xuebin said again: "It's just a pity, even if there is a response and there will not be too many casualties, it is difficult for me to ensure that those war pythons will not hurt people's lives." ”

Su Jinyao was silent when she heard this. She knew that as the leader of the army, any decision was related to the lives of the soldiers below. A few people, hundreds, or even thousands of people can die in an instant because of a single decision.

This is also the reason why Su Jinyao knew that Chu Xiang didn't want to see her, and she kept putting forward her own opinions.

Su Jinyao took out the sketch of the surgical apparatus she had drawn earlier from the cloth pocket she was carrying, showed it to Gu Xuebin, and said, "I'm going to find the skillful tools in the camp to build it." I have already asked Chen Kuo before, and he said that he doesn't need to report to you. But I still have to tell you that by making these things, I can better and faster treat those soldiers who are injured and have salvage value. Let's do our best to make this war a little more peaceful. ”

Gu Xuebin breathed a sigh of relief, touched Su Jinyao's hair, and said, "Jinyao, you are so kind." I suddenly found that you were sent by Heaven to be my fairy, that you could rescue my soldiers, and that your benevolent heart could be kind to the world. ”

"What?" Su Jinyao was stunned, and suddenly felt that what Gu Xuebin said was something in his words.

After thinking for a while, Su Jinyao asked, "Che, what did you mean by what you just said?" Could it be that if you return to Beijing after you have made military achievements this time, you may have to ...... Succession?!! ”

Succession to the throne, succession to the throne! After Su Jinyao knew that Gu Xuebin (shēn) was the crown prince, she was not much cramped and uneasy, because she had no intention of clinging, and her heart was as calm as water.

Moreover, Gu Xuebin's road to the crown prince was not smooth, and Su Jinyao also had a better chance to help him and stand by his (shēn) side.

But if he (shēn) is the king of a country, he is a man who stands at the pinnacle of power. How much helplessness and how much (shēn) will there be?

Inexplicably, Su Jinyao felt uneasy in her heart. She wasn't worried about their feelings (qíng), she just felt that there was one less way out.

When she is no longer the stupid girl, and he is no longer the little man in Pingshan Village, everything has changed too much, too fast, so fast that she is a little caught off guard.

Gu Xuebin saw Su Jinyao frowning and her face (qíng) solemn, so he pulled her hand tightly and said softly: "Jinyao, do you know why my father didn't visit the emperor when my grandmother was sick?" ”

Su Jinyao shook her head. She only knew that when she was in the palace to treat the queen mother, at least the emperor didn't go once.

Gu Xuebin said softly: "Before this expedition, my father met me alone once, and I only knew...... My father wanted me to return victorious this time, and he passed it on to me in the name of commending my merits. Because the body of the father (shēn) has deteriorated, almost to the point where it can no longer bear it. ”

"Wait......" Su Jinyao suddenly seemed to have caught something, lowered her head and slowly combed it, before looking at Gu Xuebin and said, "When you left the palace, the emperor said that he wanted you to win and go back to succeed to the throne?" ”

"Yes." Gu Xuebin nodded, feeling that what he had just said was very clear, why did Jin Yao still ask.

Su Jinyao asked again: "Then do you think that when the emperor said this to you, something was wrong?" Afraid that Gu Xuebin wouldn't understand, Su Jinyao reminded him again: "After all, seriously ill people can detect it from their faces and words, and you feel that the emperor is really ...... Seriously ill in (shēn)? ”

"Jinyao, what are you suspicious of?" Gu Xuebin thought carefully and said: "Actually, I knew about my father's illness (qíng) a few years ago, and most of the civil and military officials in the court also knew about it, so it was not a secret. But this time, I found that what was expressed in my father's words was an unconcealable loneliness and sadness. I wondered if my father was tired, so he intended to pass it on to me. ”

"Don't you think that your father may be in a hurry by someone (bī)?" Su Jinyao thought about the wording, and said: "Perhaps, Qingfan's rebellion is also an excuse, an excuse for you to leave Beijing." ”

"Jin Yao, you mean that the second prince intends to take this opportunity to (bī) the palace?" Gu Xuebin's eyes darkened, and then he said: "But it's not right, the second prince was obviously ...... at that time With you. ”

"That's the Yugui people. She is from Qingfan, and there must be a connection with Qingfan people. Maybe this incident (qíng) is a ghost made by the nobles, while letting the Qingfan rebel and contain you, it is logical for the emperor to abdicate. When you return victoriously, it is estimated that the second prince has already succeeded to the throne. ”

But Su Jinyao thought of what the second prince said to her before she came here, and said: "But I always feel that the second prince is not doing things simply, and he seems to have other plans." ”

"Jinyao, what did you notice?" As soon as Gu Xuebin heard Su Jinyao mention the second prince, and he was full of trust, he was a little anxious, and said, "Jinyao, I believe in the innocence between you and him." But I don't rule out that he uses you to do some despicable things (qíng). ”

"Not this time." After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she untied the piece of customs clearance token that Gu Xuebin gave her and put it on the table. Then he took out another token from the pocket of the company and placed it on the table.

Gu Xuebin looked at the two tokens, was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "The other token is...... Chimo gave it to you? ”

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "I can't guess his mind at all." But intuitively, I knew he wouldn't hurt me. There is also no hostility towards you as much as we imagined. Maybe he has something unspeakable, or maybe he's just a puppet in the hands of his mother, the nobleman, and we may be able to unite with him. ”

After listening to this, Gu Xuebin picked up the two tokens from the table and looked at them repeatedly, and then asked Su Jinyao: "Jinyao, do you mean to say that only Yugui is our common enemy?" The "we" in Gu Xuebin's mouth includes the second prince Cang Qianmao.

But the second prince wants to go against his biological mother, and this matter (qíng) is too strange and unpredictable.

Su Jinyao nodded solemnly and said, "Che, although I only have one intuition to prove it, I still believe in the second prince." ”

"Jin Yao." Gu Xuebin's table (qíng) was a little strange, and he stared at Su Jinyao for a long time before he said, "However, I don't want to believe him." Because of his thoughts about you, it embarrass me. ”

After saying 10,000 words, Gu Xuebin was jealous. He felt that the second prince Cang Qianmiao's purpose towards Su Jinyao was impure, and Gu Xuebin didn't want to stand aside with him.

Su Jinyao pursed her lips and was silent for a long time, then slowly rolled up her sleeves, revealing her arms.

When Gu Xuebin took off her coat before, he saw Su Jinyao with a silk scarf wrapped around her arm, and he thought she was looking good.

But when Su Jinyao untied the small silk scarf, Gu Xuebin was stunned for a moment. I saw that Su Jinyao's jade arm, which was as white as a lotus root, was bright red the size of a bean, like the finishing touch, and the beauty was palpitating.

When he reacted to what it was, Gu Xuebin smiled and asked, "Jin Yao, when did you have Shougong Sha?" ”

"It was planted for me by the second prince. He said he wanted to give you an account. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she retied the silk scarf, covered the palace guard, and lowered her sleeves before saying, "Based on this, I think he is trustworthy." ”

Hearing this reason, Gu Xuebin was also silent.

To be honest, he believed Su Jinyao's words, as long as Su Jinyao said that there was nothing between her and the second prince, he would believe it.

But I believe that I can't erase the knots in my heart, Gu Xuebin admitted that he was full of jealousy, and he hated the second prince even more because of this.

And a palace sand really relieved Gu Xuebin, and his long-entangled heart was also put down.

It can be said that the second prince not only gave Gu Xuebin the best explanation, but also (shēn) gave him the greatest respect for his younger brother.

"Okay, I believe him." Gu Xuebin handed over the two tokens to Su Jinyao, and then said, "Jinyao, what we have to do now is to find the Yugui people's (yīn) scheme." ”

"Yes, let's wait and see what happens, because since the Yugui people got you here, they will definitely have her purpose." Su Jinyao now understands what the second prince means.

He said that he had hatred in his heart, and what he hated was his mother, Yugui. Now it seems that the thinking of Yugui is not simple, and it is estimated that even the second prince is unable to parry.

After speaking, Su Jinyao frowned and thought about it, and suddenly said, "Che, I still have one more thing to do now, and I have to do it as soon as possible." Even if Chu Xiang is unkind to me, I can't watch him lead people to their lives. It's just that I haven't changed your dressing yet, only when I come back. ”

"Well, there you go. Be safe, though. Gu Xuebin hugged Su Jinyao and said, "Your kindness will win everyone's respect." ”

Su Jinyao smiled slightly, and turned (shēn) out.

She suddenly felt that it was really interesting for her to be here, and that the killer had not only become a healer, but also had been said to have some kindness.

Could it be that he killed many people back then, and now he is saving others and atoning for his sins? Then God is really fair.

When Su Jinyao came out of Gu Xuebin's tent, she saw Xiao Wu standing not far away, looking around.

Su Jinyao beckoned to him and said, "You come with me, let's go find some herbs." However, after you come back, you distribute these herbs to Adjutant General Chu and his soldiers, but don't say that I gave them. ”

"Why?" Xiao Wu also has moments of curiosity. What's more, he already knew that Vice General Chu didn't want to see Su Jinyao, and he didn't know why this Liu girl still wanted to help Vice General Chu?

Su Jinyao said: "It's just some herbs that repel snakes and insects." It may not be enough, but it can always have some effect. ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao motioned to Xiao Wu not to say much, and to hurry up and follow her. Then he said: "You must be prepared before dark, otherwise it will be even more difficult to find herbs after dark." ”

This trip lasted for an hour, until the sun completely set below the horizon and the twilight shrouded the surroundings, and Su Jinyao and Xiao Wu came back with a big burden.

Su Jinyao went directly back to her small tent, poured the two large bags of herbs with Xiao Wu, and then began to light the fire.

Xiao Wu was surprised: "I picked so much grass, oh no, it's herbs." Just burned it out? "Actually, Xiao Wu thinks that even if you smoke mosquitoes, you don't need so much.

Su Jinyao said: "For a while, these grass ashes are a good medicine to avoid insects and snakes, but they are still too few for three thousand people." So you pour the ashes into a big bucket and let the soldiers take a piece of cloth with them (shēn) without any of them. The smell is not great, but it is definitely useful. When the herbs were about to burn out, Xiao Wu also found a broken fan to use hard.
