Chapter 4

Because of the importance of Kim Yong City, the Zhou army besieging it was also the most elite part, but compared to the Turkic tiger and wolf army, their combat effectiveness was far inferior.

As early as six years ago, Gu Huan took Qi as her own country, the Gu family as her home, whether it was the Turks or the Zhou army, for her, they were all invaders, they trampled on the land of other countries, burned all the way, displaced thousands of people, and ruined their families.

The sun and moon double knife she used was specially made by Gu Xian to a famous caster, which was light and strong, and the blade was very sharp. Usually, when she goes into battle, she holds the handle with both hands, uses the Bright Sun Flame Knife, and if it is a hand-to-hand combat or dismount a foot fight, she will draw out the short-bladed Huiyue Embroidered Luan Knife hanging from her waist.

At this moment, Gao Su was already like a bamboo, killing into the depth of the enemy's formation. The Zhou army followed one after another, constantly surrounding him.

Gu Huan burst in from the flank, like a hurricane, struggling forward, intending to join him. The hundred personal soldiers behind her were all elites who had been in battle for a long time, and at this time, with her as a sharp blade, they lined up in a wedge-shaped formation behind her, and rushed forward to kill.

Zhou Jun originally wanted to deal with Gaosu's Qi army with all his might, but he didn't expect that another group of men and horses would come in next to him, and they were all like wolves and tigers. Some people continued to rush towards Gaosu's side, while others stopped and turned back to fight, and the formation soon became chaotic.

Gao Su immediately sensed the enemy's confusion, and immediately urged his war horse to get off his crotch, and the long knife in his hand was like electricity, flying up and down, quickly tearing open the gap, and rushing towards Kim Yong Castle.

When they arrived at the edge of the city, there were only more than 300 of the 500 people led by Gao Su, and more than 80 of the 100 personal soldiers brought by Gu Huan. At this time, Gao Su turned his head to look at the other friendly army on the flank.

Seeing that the one who was covered in blood and the first to rush over was the young general beside Duan Shao, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, but he appreciated it very much. Seeing their approach, he rushed some distance into the cross, joining forces with the young man.

Gu Huan's spirits were even more uplifted, and he fought side by side with him, and finally broke through the siege of the Zhou army and rushed to the foot of Kim Yong City.

The defenders of the city kept a close eye on them, but they did not rush out of the city, for fear of being attacked by the enemy. Zhang Zida, the guard here, had rushed here after hearing the news, looked at the city, and couldn't see the face of the leader for a while, so he didn't dare to order a rescue.

At this time, Gu Huan and Gao Su had arrived at the city, and the Zhou army came from all directions, and more than 400 of them formed a formation to resist and support hard, but they could not get the support of the Qi army at the head of the city, and the situation gradually became critical.

Seeing this, Gao Su quickly understood. He said to Gu Huan: "You resist for a while, and I'll come when I go." ”

Gu Huan said: "Okay." At the same time, he swung his knife and slashed obliquely, slashing a Zhou soldier who raised a gun to the ground.

Gao Su praised: "Good knife technique." Then he turned his horse's head and faced Kim, and removed the helmet from his head, revealing his face.

When Gu Huan turned around, he suddenly remembered what he was going to do, and when he turned around in his busy schedule, he happened to see this beautiful scene.

The morning sun has risen to the sky, sprinkling ten thousand golden rays on the earth, and the silver armor on Gao Su's body is dazzling, and the little blood splashed on it is like a red plum in the snow, with a kind of enchanting beauty. He took off his helmet and tilted his face up, the sun shining on his peerless countenance, making everyone who saw it hold their breath.

At this moment, Gu Huan's heartstrings suddenly trembled. In her heart, she had imagined this scene a thousand times, but when she really witnessed it with her own eyes, she was still uncontrollable, and suddenly fell in love with him.

Gao Su said loudly: "I am Lanling Gao Changgong, who is in the city?" ”

The Qi army in the city cheered loudly, and the guard replied loudly: "The last general, Zhang Zida." Then he ordered a long rope to be drawn from the city at once.

The archers descended the rope and fired a series of arrows, blocking the attack of the surrounding enemy troops.

Zhang Zida then ordered the city gate to be opened, and the whole army was killed.

The defenders in the city were trapped for a month and a half, and they had already been suffocated fiercely, and at this time, seeing that the prince of Lanling personally led hundreds of people to break through the enemy's encirclement, the army's morale was greatly boosted, and they rushed out of the city like a fierce tiger out of the gate. They shouted in unison and rushed straight towards the Zhou army.

Gao Su and Gu Huan also returned to kill.

At this time, the situation on the battlefield had changed greatly, and they were already at ease, so Gao Su asked while killing the enemy: "Little brother, what is your name?" Duan Shao seemed to have called this young man's name earlier, but he didn't notice it at all.

Gu Huan moved his knife like the wind, killing several enemies in a row, and then said: "Xinyang Gu Huan." ”

Gao Su suddenly remembered, and said: "There is a general under Lord Duan's account, who is brave and good at fighting, and he is also from Xinyang, called Gu Xian, do you know him?" ”

"It's my father." Gu Huan turned his head and smiled, and said proudly.

"Okay, it's really Jiangmen Huzi, and his name is empty." Gao Su also smiled. "I heard that when General Gu was trapped in the Turkic array, his child had just turned 14 years old, and he led more than 100 personal soldiers into the Turkic siege, rescued his father, and fought side by side with his father to drive the Turks out of the fortress. That's you, right? ”

"That...... It's me, but ...... It's not that powerful. "Gu Huan didn't expect this matter to spread so far, and he was caught off guard for a while, but he was a little embarrassed." At that time, I was just in a hurry, and I didn't think about it so much, so I killed it. ”

"Well, newborn calves aren't afraid of tigers." Gao Su laughed appreciatively, and the knife in his hand never stopped. His sword skills are more exquisite than Gu Huan's, wide open and closed, magnificent, and the enemy often can't stop a single move, so he falls under his knife.

At this time, Gu Huan and he had room to observe, no longer seeing tricks and killing people like just now, but specifically killing the enemy's generals, so that the Zhou army completely lost its command.

Soon, the Zhou army besieging Kim Yong Cheng was defeated and finally collapsed.

At the same time, Duan Shao commanded more than 10,000 elite soldiers in the northern mountains to drag the enemy to exhaustion, so he turned around and killed, defeating the Zhou army, and when he fled, countless people fell off the cliff, killing and wounding most of them.

The Zhou army besieging Luoyang was greatly panicked when they saw a large number of defeated troops pouring in from Pishan and Kim Yong City, and they did not know how many reinforcements the Qi army had come. Thirty miles from Pishan to Gushui, the mountains are all over the wilderness, all of which are materials discarded by the Zhou army.

Gao Su and Duan Shao collected troops to clean up the battlefield, while Hu Luguang led his army to pursue the enemy. The Zhou army could not resist it, and fled day and night, and soon all withdrew from the territory of Qi State.

In this battle, the Qi army won a complete victory, and Luoyang was full of praise for the heroic deeds of the king of Lanling who only led 500 people to enter the siege of the Zhou army, as well as the unparalleled elegance of taking off his helmet under the city and revealing it in front of people.

However, when these praises had not yet reached Gao Su's ears, he walked side by side with Gu Huan and returned to Luoyang from Taihe Valley. At this time, the war was over, and the two of them calmly walked away slowly, chatting a few words from time to time.

Gu Huan had also taken off his helmet, revealing a small delicate face. With Gao Su's beautiful appearance lining on the side, her face that was originally called delicate now looks heroic, plus she is wearing men's armor and her hair is also men's, Gao Su has never doubted her gender at all.

In today's battle, everyone in the Qi army felt happy, and Gao Su was also in a good mood, and said with a smile while believing in the horse's reins: "Little brother, you and I are fighting side by side today, and Chang Gong and you can be said to be familiar at first sight." You are not afraid of danger and come to support, and Changgong is even more grateful. In the future, when I have time, I welcome my brother to come to Lanling as a guest, and I will welcome him and talk to my brother about wine. ”

When Gu Huan heard him say this, he was secretly happy in his heart, and he was arrogant, he hugged his fist at him, and said in a rough voice: "Since the prince is wrongly loved, the little brother will definitely come to disturb him." ”

"Okay." Gao Su returned the salute with a fist and smiled. "The scenery of Lanling is beautiful, the people are outstanding, and the brothers will like it."

"Hearing what the prince said, the little brother can't wait to fly away." Gu Huan relaxed and returned to his cute appearance of smiling and grinning.

Gao Su introduced the situation of Lanling County to her, Gu Huan listened very carefully, asked questions from time to time, and could see that he was really interested, which made Gao Su like it very much.

The two chatted while walking, and soon returned to Luoyang.

The emperor of Qi Gao Zhan had entered Luoyang City, Duan Shao sent heavy troops to protect it, and sent people to understand the battle situation in various places, and at the same time pacify the soldiers and civilians in Luoyang City, everything was carried out in an orderly manner.

Gu Huan and Gao Su entered the siege and fought side by side under Kim Yong City, he already knew everything, and he was very happy in his heart. In the evening, after he was busy with business, he called Gu Huan to his room, drank tea with her, praised him greatly, and said with a smile: "If your father knows, he will be very happy." Giving birth to a daughter should be like a little Gu Huan, I really didn't say anything wrong at all. ”

In front of this generation of famous generals who are both wise and brave and have good moral cultivation, Gu Huan will not have the slightest complacency. She was a little embarrassed and said, "Father-in-law, I will listen to others praise me, but don't praise me." I'm far behind you compared to you, and I still need to learn. ”

"I'm happier that you can think so." Duan Shao picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and smiled pleasantly. "Huan'er, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"Okay." Gu Huan nodded immediately.

Duan Shao thought for a while, and said euphemistically: "Huan'er, your father and your mother have a very close relationship, when your mother gave birth to you and died, your father was very sad and fell seriously ill. At that time, he was only twenty years old, and he was still young, but he was already making a name for himself in the army. Since then, many people have proposed marriage to him, but he was afraid that he would treat you badly, so he didn't agree. Now that you are an adult and your father is in the prime of life, it is still time to continue his family business. What do you think? ”

"Well, it should." Gu Huan nodded seriously. "I'm not against that."

"I knew that Huan'er was the most reasonable." Duan Shao smiled slightly. "Last year, when the Turks invaded the south and burned and looted several villages at the foot of the Great Wall, your father led an army to the rescue, defeated the Turks, and rescued a girl with his own hands under the sword of the Turks. This woman is from Xianbei Murong, handsome and gentle, she fell in love with your father at first sight, and she will definitely promise her. Your father had always refused, but she was deeply and steadfast in her affection for your father, and finally touched his heart. I've met that girl a few times, and she's a good match for your father. Huan'er, your father is afraid that you won't be able to accept her, so he asked me to tell you, see what you think? If you agree to him remarrying, they plan to marry on the 15th day of the first lunar month. If you don't agree, he will reject the girl, so as not to miss someone's life. ”

When Gu Huan heard this, he only felt warm in his heart. As a father, Gu Xian is really kind to her, and he is even more wholehearted. In her previous life, she had never enjoyed such a strong and mellow love, which was why she rushed into the Turkic siege to save him back then. When Duan Shao finished speaking, she immediately said, "Father-in-law, please tell your father that I completely agree with any of his decisions." I will respect my stepmother and love him as much as I used to. I hope he can be happy, and besides, give me a few more siblings. ”

"Okay." Duan Shao nodded happily. "Huan'er, you're such a good boy."

Gu Huan smiled happily. After taking a sip of tea, she suddenly remembered the events of the day, and said casually: "Father-in-law, King Lanling invited me to play with him, I want to go, is it okay?" ”

"Absolutely." Duan Shao smiled kindly. After a moment of silence, he still spoke. "Huan'er, the prince of the county has been engaged, and the bride is Xingyang Zheng, because she is still young, she has not yet married."

"Oh." Gu Huan's heart sank, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Duan Shao keenly felt the change in the expression on her face, so he said lightly: "The Xingyang Zheng family is one of the four famous families, and it is impossible to retreat from this family business. Besides, Chang Gong, this child is pure and kind by nature, and if he has established a parent, he will not be a person who is a negative and treacherous. ”

"I understand." Gu Huan cleaned up his mood and smiled at him. "Father, I understand. I just want to go to Lanling to see it. He said that the mountains and rivers over there are beautiful, and the people are outstanding, which is very desirable. ”

"yes, it's beautiful there. Although Changgong is young, his military achievements are not small, and the current emperor gave him a title there. Duan Shao said with a smile. It's better for you to go and relax. Over the years, you have been in the army, practicing martial arts, fighting, and you have not lived the life of an ordinary girl, so I have really wronged you. ”

"No, no, no grievances, I like that kind of life." Gu Huan hurriedly explained, his face full of smiles. "Isn't my father going to get married? I'll go back first and help my father plan the wedding. After they get married, I'll go to Lanling again, okay? ”

"Good." Duan Shao was even happier when she saw that she put her father first. Filial piety comes first, and Gu Huan's filial piety to his father is very appreciated.

A few days later, the emperor of Qi, Gao Zhan, was rewarded in Luoyang. Gaosu, the twenty-one-year-old king of Lanling County, made great contributions and was crowned Shangshuling. Gu Huan was named General Dingyuan for his merits, and he became a young general on the fifth grade.

After that, she agreed with Gao Su that she would go to Lanling in the spring of the following year, and then broke up with him and returned to Jinyang.

Chinese New Year's Eve came soon, followed by the fifteenth day of the first month, and Gu Huan was busy non-stop, helping his father prepare various matters and marrying the bride.

It was snowing heavily for several days, but in the courtyard was the red plum turui, and the plum was fragrant.

Gu Huan occasionally passed by and saw it, and he would watch it with his feet, and he couldn't help but calculate the time in his heart.

Winter is coming to an end, and spring is coming.
