Chapter 262: Farewell at the City Gate

Seeing her frowning, Mu Liang reached out and stroked her forehead, and said softly: "I have my own about these things, so you don't have to worry about it so much." ”

Gu Jiuge nodded, held his hand tightly, and solemnly explained: "Mu Liang, when you go to the battlefield, you must protect yourself." Although she believed in Mu Liang's strength, but in a place like the battlefield, she really couldn't help but be worried and afraid.

Mu Liang stretched out his long arm to take her into his arms, hugged her tightly, and said, "This is the last time, the day of triumph is the day I welcome you through the door." ”

The next day, Mu Yao and hundreds of civil and military officials saw off at the gate of the city, and Mu Liang and the others had put on their armor and were ready to go.

"Li Sheng, when you go to the battlefield, you can rest assured, everything is fine at home, you just have to serve Your Majesty, no matter life or death, you are the pride of my Gu family!" Gu Shuyuan looked at his resolute face, with a lot of emotion in his heart, his eyes were slightly red, and he choked up several times.

Gu Lisheng knelt down on his knees and arched his hand: "The child knows that he will never live up to his father's expectations." ”

"Good! Good! Gu Shuyuan helped him up, he couldn't send him off when Gu Lisheng followed Zhao Yuan to the battlefield, but now that he is here, he never thought it would be like this.

I am proud of him, but I am also reluctant to give up.

"Where's the song? Why don't you see the song? Gu Lisheng looked around, but he didn't see Gu Jiuge's figure, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange. Mu Liang is leaving today, and there is no reason why she should not come to see her off.

"When she left in the morning, she said that something had been left on the house, so she let us go first." Mu Wanyu said softly, her eyes were a little red and swollen, and she didn't sleep all night last night.

Gu Lisheng held her hand lightly, as if comforting.

Over there, Mu Yao was still explaining things to Mu Liang.

On the Zhao family's side, Zhao Qianqian pulled Xuan Yue's sleeve and cried so much that her face was red. They temporarily received the news that Xuan Yue was going to follow them to the battlefield, and they were shocked and somewhat unacceptable.

After all, for so many years, Xuan Yue has been weak and sick in the eyes of everyone, and it is not easy to survive, not to mention that he has to follow Mu Yao to fight on the battlefield now, isn't this nonsense?

But Mu Yao's will, everyone naturally did not dare to resist.

"Okay, why did you even dial it, the battlefield is so dangerous, you must protect yourself, if something happens to your front foot, I will find someone to marry on the back foot!" Zhao Qianqian sniffed, looked at him and said angrily.

Xuan Yue was helpless, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and coaxed softly: "I know everything." ”

"Your Highness is on the battlefield for the first time, so if you don't understand something, you have to ask the prince and Li Sheng for advice. Remember, you can't afford to do anything on the battlefield. Zhao Gao also explained in a deep voice, he was also very puzzled by Mu Yao's decision, and now in addition to explaining him a few more sentences, Zhao Gao didn't know what else to do.

"Whew!"

A low, deep trumpet sounded, and the soldiers packed up and prepared to go.

Mu Liang glanced at the crowd a few times, but still didn't see Gu Jiuge, and couldn't help but be a little worried in his heart.

Mu Yao patted him on the shoulder and said, "The girl's family can't stand this kind of scene, so you can go with peace of mind." ”

Hearing him say this, Mu Liang nodded, took Gu Lisheng and the others to give Mu Yao a big salute, and then turned over and got on the horse, ready to set off.

"Mu Liang!"

The woman's voice came through the crowd, Mu Liang's heart moved slightly, and he immediately tightened the reins and turned around.

At the gate of the city, Gu Jiuge wore a red wedding dress, bright and glamorous.

Mu Liang's heart was extremely shocked, watching Gu Jiuge run all the way, he flew off the horse, and hugged her tightly under the attention of ten thousand people.

"The wedding dress has been embroidered, just waiting for you to come back and marry me. Remember, if something happens to you, I will not survive. Gu Jiuge hugged him tightly, buried his head in his arms, and whispered.

Her voice was a little hoarse, and she must have been crying for a long time.

Mu Liang only felt a dryness in his throat, which was very uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, I'll be back."

Gu Jiuge got up from her arms, handed him a heart goggle, and said, "I'll wait for you to come back." ”

The two hugged each other for a long time before they separated.

The procession made its way forward, winding its way through it, getting smaller and smaller, and finally vanishing.

Gu Jiu Ge stood in place, a gust of wind passed, raising her hair and clothes, and the whole person was bright and incomprehensible. She slowly covered her heart, for some reason, from the moment she knew that Mu Liang was going to the battlefield, she felt that her heart hurt terribly, and the feeling of uneasiness became heavier and heavier.

……

Let's say that Mu Liang and the others traveled on the road for half a month before they arrived at the border pass. At the same time, the border cities had been broken, and the guards were forced to retreat to Yancheng.

Yan City is the last city on the border of Da Viet, and if it is broken, the iron hooves of the invaders will trample on the land of the Da Viet Dynasty without hindrance.

"What's going on?" Mu Liang sat on the top of the main hall, looked at General Li who was guarding the city, and asked in a deep voice.

General Li ordered someone to open the defense map, stepped forward, and said carefully: "The leader of the troops this time is Da Yuanlie of the Southern Barbarians, he is the third son of the King of the Southern Barbarians, he is ruthless, the means are strong, and he wholeheartedly supports the prince Da Yuanzhong, which is a great help for him." The one sent by the Western Regions was Gu Xiao, a veteran general who had been fighting on the battlefield for many years. ”

Everyone frowned when they heard this.

"Uncle Huang, Da Yuanlie is brave and unscrupulous, so he should not be afraid. It's just a valley owl in the Western Regions, I'm afraid it's hard to deal with. Dayue went up and down, only the old general Zhao Gao and the imperial grandfather had fought with him. At that time, General Zhao Gao and him stalemate for three days and three nights, and finally both of them lost half their lives, even so, he still killed thousands of my Dayue soldiers on the battlefield on the second day, and his strength should not be underestimated. Xuan Yue took a step forward and said in a deep voice.

This valley owl is very tricky.

After hearing his words, everyone was a little shocked. Mu Liang glanced at him with appreciation, it seemed that it was not unreasonable for Gu Jiuge to ask to bring Xuanyue in the first place.

"I didn't expect the fifth brother to understand this! It's really impressive! Xuan Lang also said with a smile, but his smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and his gaze at Xuan Yue took on a look of scrutiny and suspicion.

It seems that after all these years, it is quite possible that he has overlooked a strong opponent.

Xuan Yue chuckled, still with that gentle appearance, and said, "It's just that I heard Old General Zhao Gao mention it occasionally." ”

"Okay, where are the enemy troops now, how many cities have we lost, and how many soldiers have been killed or wounded?" Mu Liang interrupted the two of them, looked at General Li and continued to ask.

"Back to the prince, now Da Yuanlie is stationed in the woods twenty miles away from Yancheng with 50,000 elite soldiers. Gu Xiao stayed in Twilight City with the remaining 100,000 troops. So far, the enemy has launched a total of 12 attacks, and we have lost seven cities. Soldiers were killed and wounded...... Difficult to estimate. ”

In the end, General Li's expression couldn't help but be a little heavy, these are the brothers who have been with him for many years, and now in the war, they only ended up in a different place!

"What do you think?" After listening to this, Mu Liang had a plan in his heart, looked up at Xuanyue, Gu Lisheng and the others asked in a deep voice.

Gu Lisheng said: "Lord Wang, the top priority should be to immediately reorganize the army, in case the enemy army suddenly attacks, I am afraid that we will be at a loss and difficult to deal with." ”

"This hall thinks that we should take the initiative to take advantage of the large number of us and kill them by surprise, so that they can know that I Da Yue is not so weak and deceitful!"

After listening to their words, Mu Liang couldn't deny it, turned to look at Xuan Yue, and said, "Ah Yue, what do you think?" ”

Xuan Lang was stunned for a moment, and his eyes fell on Xuan Yue.

Xuan Yue pondered for a moment, and then said, "Uncle Huihuang, I think there are three top priorities. First, evacuate the surrounding people as soon as possible to prevent more people from being slaughtered. Second, my Dayue has been defeated one after another, and morale is bound to be low at the moment, so Uncle Huang should first reorganize the army and boost morale. Third, the enemy army must be eliminated, but it cannot be rashly dispatched, since Da Yuanlie is stationed in the woods not far away, the emperor can let the spies go to investigate, focusing on the terrain. After all, the topography and the strategy of sending troops are also closely related. ”

After listening to Xuanyue's analysis, Mu Liang nodded secretly in his heart and said, "In this way, General Li, you will do what the fifth prince said." ”

"Yes! That's what the end will do! ”

In the main hall, Xuan Yue and Mu Liang checked the marching map together to determine the strategy and method for the next time they sent troops to meet the battle. Xuan Yue stood on one side, her eyes staring at Xuan Yue, her eyes gloomy, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

A few days later, Da Yuanlie launched another attack, and with Mu Liang and others, it was not difficult to win this battle.

As Xuan Yue said, Da Yuan is brave and strategic, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

One by one, the good news was sent back to Dayue, and Mu Yao was relieved.

At the same time, Gu Jiuge was still secretly investigating Da Yuanzhong's whereabouts, and Mu Liang left Nantian behind to protect Gu Jiuge before leaving, and handed over a team of secret guards he had cultivated to Gu Jiuge's command.

"Miss, I found Da Yuanzhong's trace in a tavern outside Jiangnan City, but he is not alone, there are five or six black-clothed people around him to protect him, and our people are scattered everywhere, the secret guards dare not act rashly, so I came back to ask for instructions on what to do." Nantian rushed to the small courtyard of drinking songs and asked Gu Jiuge to show it.

Gu Jiuge thought for a moment and said, "First secretly observe his every move, remember not to startle the snake, wait until the secret guards gather, and then join forces to capture him alive, so as not to hurt his life." ”

"Yes!"

The troubled times are turbulent, the battlefield is like purgatory, and the royal city is also about to rain and the wind is slow, gloomy and terrible.

In the palace, the queen looked at Xuanqing who was kneeling with a gloomy face, and after a long time, she smashed the cup in her hand violently.

"Why did this palace give birth to you, an unassuming son!" The queen roared angrily, her face flushed with anger.

Xuan Qing hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Queen Mother, what's wrong with you?" But if the son did something wrong, the queen mother said bluntly, don't be angry with your body. ”

"What did you do wrong? When Mu Liang and the others went to the battlefield, why didn't you follow! Now, the border good news is coming back one after another, do you know how serious the situation is now! ”
