Chapter 618: Reason
According to Su Ningbo's opinion, in the battle of Shankou Pass, Gu Yunkang can take the first place.
Although Gu Yunkang did not personally participate in the fire attack and tackling key problems, he protected Gu Zhiyuan's body, he blocked the army from entering Hecheng to avoid Zhongbei Di's plan of "inviting you into the urn", he identified the storage place of grain and grass in Shankou Pass, and led everyone to find the most suitable location for fire attack.
Without Gu Yunkang, there would be no great victory today.
Jiang Muyuan wanted to make meritorious contributions for the Gu family, all of which were originally worthy of being written on the excerpt of asking for merit.
But in fact, the war report was written briefly.
Su Ningbo wrote it by himself, sprinkled with a bunch of names, Gu Yunkang's exploits were integrated into it, and the imperial court knew such a thing, but it was not eye-catching or conspicuous.
And concealed Gu Yunkang to go to Beidi, the imperial court did not know that there would be such a tough battle in the future, and it was bound to withdraw its troops.
These things made Su Ningbo very puzzled.
It is said that the Gu family is the Gu family, and those brothers have a good relationship, when it comes to the general's seal, Jiang Muyuan will not still be thinking about not letting Gu Yunkang, who was born in the second room, cross the elder brother......
Not putting the cart before the horse.
Jiang Muyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "It is precisely because it is difficult to fight that he is more cautious and hesitant.
The Gu family needs this battle feat, and it is imperative to raid the Beidi big tent, but no one knows when my third uncle will be able to find out the situation of the Beidi tribe and when he will be able to come back.
It would not be appropriate for me to drag the army to the north on this ground.
The treasury is tight, and military supplies cannot afford to consume it.
In case something happens to him and he doesn't come back for half a year or a year, and it is spread to Beijing, the Gu family will not get merit, but infamy. ”
Su Ningbo listened carefully, touched the stubble on his chin, and nodded slowly.
Jiang Muyuan saw that he listened, and said, "There are no outsiders here, and I will have a few more words with my uncle."
Previously, it was rumored that the Gu family raised a son for Ansu Khan, and we knew that it was a bastard, but we couldn't hold back the mouth on other people's faces.
No one can say which so-called son is, but once it is rumored that my third uncle has gone to Beidi, maybe I will guess his bloodline.
If the man comes back and will win the war, that's all.
If you lose a trace, or if the raid fails, it will be choreographed more and more unlikely.
Moreover, the rumors came out of Beidi, and if my third uncle fell into the hands of the Di people, they turned around and poured dirty water again, saying that he had voted for the Di people and that he had sold the northern land, and I didn't know what to say in the imperial study to protect the Yue family.
Even if the Holy One believes me, one impeachment after another cannot be left unattended. ”
Su Ningbo frowned.
Jiang Muyuan and Cheng Jin are good friends, and in terms of seniority, Su Ningbo is cheeky and a "Shibo", but his status is completely different.
These few words are indeed said with extreme trust.
Speaking of which, when something really goes wrong, the saint will inevitably favor his nephew, but it is the relationship between uncle and nephew that makes the monarch and his ministers more and more particular.
Jiang Muyuan can't turn a blind eye to the Gu family in public and private, but when Gu Yunkang is really impeached by the masses, it is impossible for him to use his head and the Gu family's life to protect Gu Yunkang from the enemy.
This kind of "persecution" can be done by other courtiers, but not by nephews.
After straightening out these, Su Ningbo admired Jiang Muyuan even more, he can be so meticulous at this age, and it is no wonder that he has become the most prominent existence among the younger generation.
"Little grandfather, don't worry," Su Ningbo sat up straight and said solemnly, "I won't reveal this either." ”
Jiang Muyuan thanked him, got up and walked out of the tent, and raised his head to look at the sky.
The slanting sun was dazzling, and he couldn't help but squint, and then withdrew his gaze.
Jiang Muyuan didn't lie to Su Ningbo about what he said just now, those reasons are all tenable, but the most important point, Jiang Muyuan didn't say it.
He was wary of Sun Rui.
Although I don't know the reason why Sun Rui did many things, and I don't know if the other party can reach to the north or even to the grassland, but since he is suspicious, this matter is important, and it is not wrong to be careful.
Jiang Muyuan stood in front of the big tent and happened to meet Cheng Jinzhi.
Cheng Jinzhi just came down from the city wall and said, "I went to see Grandpa Cheng at noon, his foot injury is fine, and he can walk with a crutch." ”
"That's fine," Jiang Muyuan looked at Cheng Jinzhi's arm, "Is your arm okay?" ”
"Almost." Cheng Jinzhi grinned.
For soldiers, when the blood is clotted and they can exert their strength, it is almost there.
No matter how noble his status is in Beijing, on the battlefield, there is no golden nobleman.
Cheng Jinzhi put his arm on Jiang Muyuan's shoulders and said, "You guys are going to the Northland tomorrow, right?" ”
Jiang Muyuan bowed.
Cheng Jinzhi hesitated for a while, but still said, "Is there enough people to carry the coffin?" Don't be polite to me, my arm is fine.
When you went to Xilin Hutong to marry someone else's girl, I was a concubine, and now you are sending the Gu family back to your homeland, can't I still carry it?
With the two major strings of artillery battles I ordered, the Gu family also had to recognize me. ”
Jiang Muyuan laughed, and when it came to this, how could he, a brother, refuse.
The relocation of the Gu family's heroic spirit to the north was negotiated by Jiang Muyuan and the Gu family brothers with Su Ningbo and Xiang Wei in recent days.
Originally, I was looking forward to moving Mrs. Tian and the others back to their homeland after recovering the northern land, and now is also an opportunity.
After all, even if they knew that the Di people had been defeated, the people who had escaped from the Northland, Hecheng or other towns and villages did not have the courage to return to their hometowns.
The redevelopment of the northern border is indispensable for the support and input of the people, and they must now give the people confidence to dare to go out of Yumen.
When the spirit is moved back to the north, it is not a quick horse, and it will take several days to carry the coffin all the way.
They don't plan to go fast, and the fact that they can walk day and night on the northern land is also proof that the situation is safe now.
The next day, the sun shined through the clouds and sprinkled thinly on the ground, and the snow melted a little, making the road more muddy and difficult to walk.
Jiang Muyuan and the Gu family brothers went to the grave of Mrs. Tian and the others, followed by the soldiers who came to help, and everyone quietly looked at the stone tablets one after another.
Gu Yunyan stepped forward and carefully wiped the stone stele.
The incense candle was lit, accompanied by the white money in the sky, Gu Yunyan took a deep breath, knelt down, and kowtowed heavily before getting up again.
The sealed soil was dug up, revealing the coffin inside, Gu Yunyan squatted down, looked at Mrs. Tian's coffin, with tears in his eyes, smiled lightly, and said, "Grandmother, I promised to take you back to the north, and told you to wait for a long time, so we will go back." ”
The people sent the spirits out of the customs, and from time to time some people turned their backs to wipe their tears.
There were people who were also from the Northland, and after hesitating for a few days, they finally packed up what little softness they had and followed them back to their hometowns.
