On the sixth day of the first month of August, the small tribe Amuta who coexisted with the Kukeqi in Qiubuguan wrote to the capital and reported the enemy's situation one by one. The emperor took this report, and felt that it was not new, obviously Kuokeqi had already said that there would be a war outside Qiushui Pass this year, why did Amuta come to report again, it was really a superfluous move.

However, the emperor didn't show it on his face, just showed his attention, and then asked the inner court to reply to his will, saying that Amuta was short of soldiers and horses, and he only needed to guard his own place, and the rest of the places would be handed over to the Koke Banner.

Amuta was just reporting as usual, and when he got the reply, of course, he swept the snow in front of the door, after all, they are a small tribe, and they can't cope with too much war, and they have been surviving with the support of the Jingchao River Kuoke Banner for many years, and they have long been used to the peaceful days, and basically they will not take the initiative to get involved in the war.

However, on the defensive line outside the 16 continents of Jindu, the war was fought in silence. Prince Ke in Jindong is at ease, and the pressure on Jinxi and Jinnan is also increasing, while Jinbei has become a battlefield for Xiao Yongye alone.

"Report ......"

"Come in."

"Marshal, Deputy Marshal Xiao of Jinbei passed the book, in the area of Muluo in Jinbei, there are enemies again, and there are more and more, Vice Marshal Xiao will not move for the time being."

Prince Ke looked at the map and smiled, Jinbei was actually just a trick. The king of Jinzhou hoped that they would concentrate their forces to supply the difficult Jinbei, and of course he did not rule out the possibility of breaking through directly from Jinbei if there was hope. However, what the king of Jinzhou longed for most was to declare war on him directly from Jindong Jinchuan.

"Go back to the book, press the soldiers, break it into pieces, and go out by day and night." Prince Ke didn't say much, but he believed that Xiao Yongye would understand it at a glance.

Of course, Xiao Yongye understood: "Pass Luo An, give the order, and the whole army will be divided into a team of thirty people and a team of three thousand people." Make sure to make a big noise to convince the enemy that our reinforcements have arrived, and even if you do, you have to think that we are preparing a night attack in order to break through the line. ”

"Yes, lieutenant."

Attacking the heart first, this war is not so much a battle of swords and soldiers, but a battle of strategy. The strength of the king of Jinzhou can only attack one side, and the most likely is not Jinbei, but Jindong...... In Jindong, it was the 100,000 elite soldiers who were waiting for the battle, but on the surface, Xiao Yongye had the most soldiers.

"The robbery of the king of Jinzhou, the father is not the heart disease of the king of Jinzhou, if he does not cross this mountain, even if he really controls the world in the future, there will always be a magic obstacle in his heart." Xiao Yongye sighed, wondering if there would be someone in the future who would also become his magic barrier.

The things in the world often can't stand much emotion, and the words in one sentence are often not surprising, but unexpected, and regretful.

"Cheng Yi, next month you go back to Jindong with Cizhuang and make contributions, can you meet everything that should belong to you, just this time." Xiao Yongye said while sorting out the battle report, looking at Cheng Yi, who was sitting next to him wiping his weapon.

Gu Chengyi responded to the explanation, but he was reluctant to leave Jinbei, although Jindong can get fame at his fingertips, but what he wants is not fame, it is his things, and he will never be able to run away, but he has to look at Xiao Yongye for his sister, and watch him be safe and sound: "Deputy marshal, I don't want to go back, there is a large army in Jindong, and the marshal is good at arranging troops, I don't have any use there, when I am in Jinbei, didn't the deputy marshal say that people can only be trained in difficult places, I am willing to stay in Jinbei." ”

Xiao Yongye raised his head and smiled and said, "There won't be many big battles in Jinbei, and there will be no war achievements to be gained with me." ”

said so, but the bulk of this battle exploit must be Gu Chengyi, otherwise how would he be crowned king.

"I don't want to be meritorious, Sister Yan always likes to say that plainness is a blessing, I just want that kind of blessing." In fact, Gu Chengyi's feelings are extremely acute this time, and he always feels that something will happen in Jinbei, but all the signs at present point to Jindong, and Gu Chengyi will suppress it by himself every time this idea comes up.

"Cheng Yi, you have your own idea for all this, but you have to think about it carefully." Xiao Yongye didn't persuade much, Gu Chengyi was by his side, more comfortable than by Prince Ke's side, Gu Chengyi admired Prince Ke, but there was still a knot in his heart that couldn't be untied.

When Gu Chengyi and Xiao Yongye were talking, a report came from outside: "Report, deputy marshal, a thousand-strong team in the southwest has been attacked, and Vice General Zhou has gone to support, how to deal with it next, please decide what to do next." ”

Southwest...... Xiao Yongye didn't need to look at the map to know what place was in the southwest, it was Turitan, the last line of defense in the north of Jin, and he was advancing thirty miles inside, and he entered the fortress of the sixteen continents of Jindu.

At this time, Xiao Yongye had two choices: "Cheng Yi, do you think it's better to beat the water dogs, or to bypass them and hit Turitan directly?" ”

Gu Chengyi shook his head: "It's not good, taking Turitan is not a quick attack that can be successful, it is better to bypass Turitan and take down the eagle's beak pass, but it is easier to succeed." From the eagle's beak pass in, open the defense line of Turitan from the rear, and the hinterland of the army to enter the sixteen continents of Jindu is just around the corner. ”

"The Eagle's Beak Pass is guarded by Xie Junchong, the elite soldiers will be waiting for work, Xie Junchong is a cadre, not those mediocre talents, it is still a little difficult to take the Eagle's Beak Pass from him." Xiao Yongye is not unsure about the Eagle's Beak Pass, but the relationship is huge, and in the case of insufficient supplies, it is easy to be surrounded by the Eagle's Beak Pass.

"Vice brush, only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves." Gu Cheng recalled that he suddenly had a good idea: "Let's talk about attacking Turitan today, and tomorrow we will say that we will continue to sit and plan the day after tomorrow, but we just won't attack, and when the thieves can't be prevented for a thousand days, we will take Turitan." Turitan can shorten the supply line, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and even the king of Jinzhou will have nothing to do at Eagle's Beak Pass. ”

Xiao Yongye glanced at the map, nodded at the other end and said, "You can also give it a try, pass the order, gather the army near Ritan, prepare for the attack, and wait for my order to attack." ”

The herald took the order again.

Xiao Yongye opened the big tent, Jinbei is mostly a wasteland, the plants are sparse, at this time when the sun is setting, the whole Jinbei is a peaceful and overflowing beauty. It's just that this tranquility is overflowing, but a storm is brewing to wash away the last heat air.

At this time, the capital is beginning to show the meaning of wind and rain, the autumn wind is bleak, and there is a dry atmosphere everywhere. And Hengwang Mansion is doing this happy event, this wedding, making the whole capital lively, and those bleak and murderous atmosphere are also in a red, not so eye-catching.

Qu Yun rode a high-headed horse, passing through the street, followed by a big red sedan chair. Although this marriage is a marriage, it is more of his own willingness. Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous man, as a young general who has won countless fame by himself and has found a place in the Jing Dynasty, Qu Yun does not need a big daughter to show his identity, but only a good wife who knows the rules and etiquette and knows how to advance and retreat.

After Qu Yun got married, he stayed in the capital for three days and then went to the border, Xiao Yujin sent him to the city gate, and he cherished other scenes, which made Gu Yange feel at ease. At least in this way, Xiao Yujin is plain and peaceful, as for happiness, it is like drinking water, knowing whether it is warm or cold, how can others see it.

Accompanied by Xiao Yujin to send Qu Yun away, Gu Yange went to Fayan Temple, not to believe in Buddhism, but to seek peace of mind and find a psychological sustenance.

In the Fayan Temple, the incense is vigorous, after the three pillars of incense, I drew a lot, and the signature said: "No wind and no rain until dawn, half tossing and turning and half sleeping, the leaves fall all over the city and the wind does not return, in front of a jade tree in front of the hall." ”

In the sign, the master who unsigned the document said: "The eldest princess, this sign has the meaning of the mountains and rivers, the willows and the flowers are bright, the falling flowers do not return because of the wind, but they will eventually disappear by themselves, only a jade tree is long in front of the hall, the eldest princess, all at ease, and the bitterness has its own willingness." ”

These words were the same as not saying them, Gu Yange looked at it, and he felt that this sign was bad, so he just listened to it.

turned around and walked out of the main hall, but saw that King Chen was in an autumn breeze, the wind swept the fallen leaves and swayed around, and the whole person's clothes were fluttering, and he was indescribably handsome.

"Brother Chen." Gu Yange was a little worried about King Chen, but he still stepped forward to say hello, and before he tore his face, Gu Yange was willing to believe the judgment of the original owner, that is, King Chen was also involuntarily. On one side is the father, on the other side is the king, but this choice is not easy.

"When did Yan'er also believe in Buddhism?" King Chen is used to wearing white clothes, but now he gradually likes to wear dark colors.

Watching Gu Yange walk towards him step by step, her heart suddenly trembled, and her heart was beating a little uncontrollably.

"I don't believe it, I'm just looking for peace of mind. But why did Brother Chen come to the temple to pray for the blessing of the Kuoke Banner? Gu Yange wanted to see something from King Chen's face, but unfortunately, he didn't see anything.

"No, it's for myself."

"Brother Chen, do you remember the story you heard when you were a child, Li Fei asked righteousness, do you want to take filial piety or loyalty, whether you want to take a hundred years or take eternity? At that time, my father asked us, how did you answer? Gu Yange smiled at the corner of his mouth, as if he really just remembered this matter suddenly, and asked easily and casually.

King Chen's face did not change, and he smiled faintly, and replied softly: "In the world, whether it is loyalty and filial piety, it is in the four words of morality. ”

Gu Yange smiled again: "What if they are all moral, and they are not alive?" ”

"Choose the big and abandon the small profit ......"

After King Chen finished speaking, the two of them fell silent, and after a while, he looked at Gu Yange and smiled and said, "Yan'er, no matter when, you have to believe that I am still Awuzi who strings Bodhi beads for you." If you call me brother, I will protect my sister Yan for the rest of my life, the promise under the Bodhi tree, I remember every word, every sentence clearly, and I have never forgotten. ”

"Brother, be kind to yourself." For Gu Yange, the promise was already a little vague, after all, she was too young at that time.

After the two said goodbye, King Chen kept looking at Gu Yange's background, and only then did he murmur until he couldn't see it: "Yan'er, will you hate me?" ”

Gu Yange couldn't hear it, and if he did, he would definitely ask: Did you do something that made me hate it?

After Wang Chen finished speaking, he resolutely turned around, he had his choice, and he had no regrets in this chess game......
