Chapter 606: The One Who Should Kneel
Gu Yunyan's voice was not heavy, but these words fell heavily in his heart like stones.
The old man rubbed his hands nervously, they had beaten the man with a few sticks, fortunately, fortunately, he was not killed, and finally gave him a mouthful of food.
Otherwise, they would not have become sinners.
He stepped forward, stopped in front of the people who were about to get on the horse, and said in a dumb voice: "Apologize for me and the man, we beat him at that time......"
Gu Yunyan shook his head and said, "We should thank you for feeding him, allowing him to recover from his injuries for a few days, and saving his life." ”
The old man opened his mouth, wanting to say something more but couldn't say anything, so he could only watch the small group of people walk away in the snow.
The snow foam raised farther and farther away, moistening the old man's eyes, and he crouched down and cried silently.
It's good that the life is spared, that the man is still alive......
That's great......
When Gu Yunyan and Gu Yunxi returned to the camp, the camp was bright.
The soldiers knew that they had gone to pick up General Gu, and their eyes were moist when they saw the cloth ball tied to Gu Yunyan behind them.
The garrison at the entrance of the camp came up and took Gu Yunyan's horse rope and asked, "Is it a general?" ”
Gu Yunyan bowed.
Before he walked to the big tent, Jiang Muyuan and the others who got the message greeted him.
Gu Yunxi helped Gu Yunyan untie the cloth ball, and the two of them unfolded together.
The road was bumpy, and the body became more and more unshaped, only the armor was still there, and the blood stains on it pierced people's eyes sore.
An indescribable sadness suddenly rushed to his heart, knowing that the ending would be like this, but seeing their majestic General Gu in the end was still breathless.
The soldier with a gun could not hide his tears, knelt on one knee, and hung his head.
When one kneeles, the crowd kneels.
Gu Yunkang pushed away Gu Yunqi and Gu Yunqian, who were supporting him, and knelt down with a solemn expression.
Xiang Wei was about to kneel, but he caught a glimpse of Jiang Muyuan who was tidying up the hem of his armor, he quickly stopped his movements and came over to stop him: "You can't kneel." ”
Jiang Muyuan pressed Xiang Wei's hand to help him, lowered his eyes, and said, "You should kneel."
Yu Gong, I am the imperial prince, I am the nephew of the saint, the Gu family is loyal to the imperial court, several generations of heroes and martyrs have guarded the northern border for decades, General Gu's horse leather shroud, the battle reached the last moment, I pay tribute to the martyrs for the saint;
Yu Private, I am the son-in-law of the Gu family, a junior, General Gu is my uncle, and my niece-in-law kneels to my uncle, so what is there to kneel. ”
After speaking, Jiang Muyuan knelt down on one knee and lowered his head.
Xiang Wei didn't stop him anymore, and when it came to this, there was no need to stop him.
The desolate sound of the horn resounded through the camp, accompanied by the low neighing of horses, sending Gu Zhiyuan on a ride.
Gu Zhiyuan's body will not be kept on the front line, Jiang Muyuan discussed with the Gu family brothers, and when tomorrow dawn, he will be sent to Yumen Pass, and for the time being, he will be buried with Mrs. Tian and others, and then moved to the north after the war is over.
Xiang Wei and the others got up, and Jiang Muyuan asked the Gu family to enter the account, and let the rain and cold thunder stay outside.
When Gu Yunyan and Gu Yunxi went to Xingli before, Gu Yunkang and others talked a lot about the Di people, and they also had some ideas about the future war.
He sneaked into Crane City at that time, and because he was willing to inquire, he really found a lot of information from Di Kou, which was clearer than the captured captives.
When the Di people attacked the north that night, the leader of the troops was Duhu, and this person had a lot of evil eyes.
This is what Jiang Muyuan and they have known for a long time, but what they don't know is that this is called a close confidant of Ansu Khan.
"I don't want to look at the curiosity to attack the north, this strategy is advocated by Ansu Khan's third son Atubu, and he is called a general, and he scolds Atubu behind his back, he thought that Artubu wanted to eradicate dissidents and let them come to death," Gu Yunkang said, "Atubu gave them two guides, and when they attacked by surprise, they all wanted to withdraw their troops after a while, and went back to fight Atubu, but I didn't expect that the northland broke the city."
Du Hu led the people to fight in a daze, and was afraid that there would be fraud in the back, so they did not dare to stay after beating the northern land, turned around and ran, followed the advice of the guide to hit the mountain pass and Hecheng, and won the battle in a daze.
The news was sent back to Beidi, and Ansu Khan was overjoyed, and the rewards were innumerable.
Duhu thought that Artubu deliberately gave him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, intending to win him over, and after getting such a big benefit, he also had some intention of taking refuge in Artubu.
This was said last month when they were all drunk. ”
After all, he is in the army, and although there are people guarding outside, Gu Yunkang talks about the parts related to Gu Zhize, and he doesn't say anything about it, just in case of accidents.
Gu Yunyan asked, "What about the one that attacked Yumen Pass?" ”
"Duhu doesn't know at all, Duhu's idea is to hold on until the beginning of spring, and when Beidi follow-up reinforcements, he will blindly defend it, and he will have a share of the daily military rations, and he can barely hold on," Gu Yunkang said, "As a result, Yumen Pass suddenly fought, and he asked people to go back and ask Ansu Khan why he didn't inform him in advance, and he could cooperate."
As a result, when I went back and asked, this was not Ansu Khan's plan at all, it was done by Ah Dumu behind Ansu Khan's back. ”
Adumu was the fourth son of Ansu Khan.
In other words, the previous captives confessed the truth.
Gu Yunyan sorted out his thoughts and said, "Can Ah Dumu really cross Ansu Khan and use troops?" Is Ansu Khan really seriously ill? ”
Gu Yunkang said: "A Dumu can, Duhu means that Ansu Khan was the most important one before, and gave him a lot of rights, Duhu originally faintly wanted to take refuge in A Dumu, but Atubu gave him more practical benefits."
After the Yumen Pass, Ansu Khan was very disappointed in A Dumu, which made Duhu more optimistic about Atubu.
Ansu Khan seems to be really sick, and it is impossible to say whether it is serious or not. ”
Gu Yunkang pretended to be Di Ren, but after all, he was unknown, so he could only pretend to be an inconspicuous soldier, and with such a low identity, it was too difficult to get close.
That is, he was bold and careful, and thought of a lot of ways, relying on eavesdropping, digging from other people's mouths, and piecing together, in exchange for this information.
But where the two guides were, and how the marching path through the steppe went, he hadn't dug it out yet.
Gu Yunyan cleared his throat, and his voice was extremely low: "Where did those rumors come from?" That is to say, the Gu family has the son of Ansu Khan......"
Gu Yunkang's eyes darkened, and he said, "I don't know." I just heard that Beidi had some rumors, but as soon as there were signs, Ansu Khan sent someone to kill him, and he was not allowed to pass on another word. The news leaked to Du Hu here, all Hu shut up, and some people below listened to the wind and muttered, and they were all called to find another reason and beat the whip, and after that, no one dared to mention it. ”
As they had guessed before, Ansu Khan's character would not allow shame to spread everywhere.
How the current Beidi situation was caused, no one can say.
