Not to mention that Xu Zhirong had many incidents here, Ji Qingling and Gu Yanzhang went home, and after eating, they saw the other party enter the study, spread out a huge piece of paper, and started to draw on it.

He sketched vertically and horizontally, bent up and down, and in a short time filled a piece of paper with ink-colored lines, replaced it with a small pen, dipped in cinnabar, and began to write on it.

Ji Qingling didn't bother, he just grinded the ink and paper for him on the side, and after looking at it for a while, he realized that this was a map of the northwest.

Gu Yanzhang's speed was extremely fast, but after more than an hour, this simple map took shape, Ji Qingling observed it carefully, while looking at it, remembering it at the same time, and correspondingly with many memories in his mind.

The original body was just a boudoir girl, but Ji Qingling followed Ji's father to study in her previous life, and she had put a lot of effort into studying the merits of the "Gu Yanzhang" in the Privy Council in history, and she also knew a lot about the battle that hit the Northern Barbarians that year.

Gu Yanzhang was very focused, and when the whole picture was roughly formed and was already close to the child, he woke up, and saw Ji Qingling standing aside looking at the map without blinking, hurriedly put down the pen, and said, "There is something very beautiful, why don't you go to sleep so late?" Be careful to cry out again tomorrow. ”

Ji Qingling looked down at the picture, didn't raise his head, and said in a low voice: "I'll accompany the fifth brother to draw a picture......

Gu Yanzhang heard her words, and thought of what a beautiful life the Ji family and the Gu family had in the past, Ji Qingling was favored by his parents and brothers, and he was even more like a little bully at home. Only because of the war in Yanzhou, all the families were destroyed, and only two children were left to walk alone in the distance in this foreign country, struggling to survive. His nose was sore, and tears were almost pouring out, so it was easy to hold back the tears, turned his head to the side, and said for a long time: "It's not early, it's time to sleep." ”

Ji Qingling was also very sad in her heart, although she was not the original Ji Qingling, she had inherited all the memories of the original body, and there was nothing wrong with saying that it was that Ji Qingling. recalled the interesting things at home when this body was young, and remembered the days when he was loved by his family in his previous life, and he was very depressed. She endured it for a while, and when she saw that the atmosphere between the two was gloomy, she suppressed her thoughts, raised a smile, and said, "The fifth brother is so good at drawing the map, compared to the one in my father's room, I can't see any difference." ”

Gu Yanzhang couldn't see that she was forcing a smile and teasing herself, he felt a sigh in his heart, and he secretly mocked that he couldn't even compare to a little girl, but asked others to coax him, and he hurriedly cleaned up his mood, and said: "My family is doing business in Yanzhou City, if I don't know some surrounding conditions, how can I earn money?" ”

Ji Qingling pointed to one of the places and asked, "Fifth Brother Gu, the barbarian sneaked all the way from Xingqing Mansion that day, and waited until Xiazhou passed, did he pull up the banner and start detaining the customs?" ”

Gu Yanzhang's face was a little dazed, he didn't know what he thought, and he said "um" after a while, pointed to draw a prototype map and said: "From Xiazhou to Yanzhou, it will take more than ten days to travel, and there are scouts along the way of the security army...... Originally, according to the Yanzhou army, even if it was defended, it could last for three or five months, and it was not difficult to survive to Lingzhou to rescue, but it was only half a decade later, and I don't know what happened, someone actually opened the west gate of Yanzhou City for the barbarians......"

Ji's family lives in the east gate, as soon as the barbarian enters the city, seeing that the momentum is not good, there are officials and soldiers who open the east gate to cover the people to abandon the city and flee, Ji's mother took Ji Qingling and waited and waited, only waiting for the bad news that her husband and son had been killed, and she could only flee with some soft in a hurry. Fortunately, the barbarians had no intention of pursuing - they could attack Yanzhou City, and the group of beasts were crazy, and they couldn't help but burn and loot, just like locusts crossing the border, and there was no way to organize troops to pursue. It was precisely because of this that the two women and children were able to escape all the way.

And the Gu family is even worse, his family is rich and noble, built in the center of the state city, it is the most prosperous area in the entire Yanzhou City, as soon as the barbarian enters the city, he first rushes to that place. The Gu family raised a family and private soldiers, and Gu Yanzhang's father and several brothers fought desperately in front of him to stop him, so he was sent out of hiding.

Gu Yanzhang watched the fire in his home, and wanted to go back to save people, but he was stunned by an old servant with a palm on the neck, hunched on his back, and escaped from the city like this.

"It's still the case, at the end of last year, the Zhenrong army was supposed to defend the army, but somehow, it was replaced by the security army." Gu Yanzhang pointed to a certain route on the table and said, "The barbarians are known as 30,000 troops, even if they are folded in half, there are 10,000, so many people, no matter where they come, unless the blind can see it." Lintao Pass is guarded by the Zhenrong army, and it is impossible for them to go from this one even if they have their wings, only Shunkou in the east can come over, but there are thousands of soldiers stationed in Shunkou, and there are official roads along the way, can it be that none of those post guards can run away, and they can't even send a letter? ”

Gu Yanzhang asked repeatedly, as if he was asking Ji Qingling, and he seemed to be asking himself.

The city of Yanzhou is broken, which is really a weird thing. Even if there are only 10,000 northern barbarians, if they want to march, they are all overwhelming and overwhelming, how can they bypass so many garrisons along the way and besiege Yanzhou City without a sound?

Ji Qingling thought for a while and said: "Fifth Brother Gu, if those dart masters didn't deceive people today, Yang Pingzhang would go to Lingzhou in a few days and prepare to recover Yanzhou, this battle still has to be fought, I heard that Lintao Pass and Shunkou have fallen, and if you want to take it back in the future, it is not such a simple thing." Didn't we say that when Yanzhou was recovered, we would go home and be admitted to the state school? In the future, if we enter the state school, get the middle jinshi, and then invite ourselves back to Yanzhou to join the army, wouldn't it be more useful than thinking hard now? A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, don't lose a big ...... because of a small loss"

Gu Yanzhang nodded and said, "I just thought about it for a while, don't pay attention to me, just wait for me to sleep." ”

After this time, Ji Qingling watched from the sidelines and found that Gu Yanzhang not only had to study harder than before, but also spent twice as much time practicing martial arts during the day, often getting up before the end of the day, and not coming back until morning. He is eating more and more, and his height is growing very fast, and the whole person has more indescribable "energy" in it than before.

Ji Qingling saw it in his eyes, although he knew that this was a good change, and it was also the only way for Gu Yanzhang to change from a teenager to a young man, but for some reason, he felt very sour in his heart. She is not easy to intervene, and she can't intervene, so she can only think of some ways to help, such as sorting out the geographical scrolls of Yanzhou, the distribution and customs of various tribes in the Northern Barbarians, etc., and classifying the key points of various scriptures for this Fifth Brother Gu to read.
