Inside, the mountains and rivers, the city and the important places, all of them are exquisite, from the side, like the two sides of the sand table like a miniature world, it should be incompatible, like two people of water and fire, but they sit quietly opposite each other, I don't know, I am afraid that the two are familiar friends.

Gu Cang sat calmly on the hardwood chair that was a little panicked because of the withering of flesh and blood on his body, just a handful of bones resting on it, his hands on his knees, and he tilted his head to look at Xu Jintang opposite, with a warm smile on his face.

"Why don't you warm a pot of hot tea?"

Xu Jintang at this time, where did he come from such a Yaxing, besides, looking at the master opposite, he couldn't drink any tea, so he immediately snorted coldly, and said sarcastically: "Do you want me to let someone serve the prince some snacks with tea? sesame cake? or dried meat? Of course, you have to be able to eat it." ”

The corners of Gu Cang's mouth hooked, he glanced at him deeply, and sighed in a deep tone: "Hey, you, you, you, in fact, your heart is too anxious." ”

After all, he didn't care whether Xu Jintang could understand this sentence or not, and he didn't even care if he would anger the other party because of it, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he took out a crystal clear warm jade vial from his sleeve, the size of a palm, extremely cute, and the moment he uncorked it, a red smoke immediately floated out of it, and the whole room was filled with a thick aroma for a moment, even if he just took a breath, he could feel an obvious warm current coming in from his nose and flowing into his body.

He lowered his head and fiddled with the small bottle in his hand, smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "You're right, I really can't eat anything else." ”

Xu Jintang didn't look at him either, but sniffed with his nose very vigilantly, and sat in place, frowning slightly.

When Gu Cang raised his head slightly because his neck had been stiff and uncomfortable, Yu Guang happened to see this scene, and he couldn't help but explain with a smile: " Don't worry, I said so many things before, and took the initiative to withdraw my subordinates, but I didn't mean to let you relax your vigilance, so that I could find a chance to take medicine for you, at least I don't have to risk my life to do this kind of stupid thing, it's really not worth it, this thing is indeed a good thing, this is the elixir that my fourth brother spent a lot of effort to finally ask someone to refine, the main material is a great tonic specially transported from the Eastern Continent, a priceless treasure!"

After that, he lowered his head again, followed with one hand, and then very carefully shook his right hand holding the warm jade vial, and poured two fiery red pills on his left hand, which was the birthday gift presented by Gu Hai when his father, that is, His Majesty Gu Yi, the emperor of the Great Liang Dynasty, held a family banquet in the harem.

Gu Cang grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth, and as soon as he raised his head, he had already eaten one, and pinched the other one with one hand, looked at Xu Jintang, and asked kindly, "Do you want to eat?"

Xu Jintang frowned, glanced at him with some puzzlement, and after a little hesitation for a while, he still shook his head and refused: "No need, I can't afford this love, what the prince wants to say today, just say it earlier." ”

Then, he really couldn't help but add one more sentence: "Count me as a former courtier, with your current situation, taking this substance is tantamount to swallowing poison directly." ”

Gu Cang was stuffing another Spiritual Cultivation Pill back into the bottle, and at the same time, he was slowly saying, "I know what you said, but there is no way, you can also see that I can't eat other things." ”

Xu Jintang watched a soft, but very conspicuous red light, rising along the other party's chin, and finally converging into a red cloud above his head, it dissipated in an instant, and a strong medicinal fragrance spread again, he secretly praised that it was really a rare miracle medicine, and at the same time, half regretful, half mocking: "You can't even keep the most basic medicinal properties now." ”

Looking at Gu Cang's side again, after taking the pill, he had been waiting with his eyes closed and waiting to digest the medicinal power, but suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, and his face was a little more bright red, and the whole person looked a lot more energetic, he looked at Xu Jintang again, and said with a radiant expression: "Okay, General Xu has been waiting next to me for so long, and the news I am waiting for should be coming soon." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu Jintang was slightly stunned, and before he could speak, suddenly, there was a rapid sound of slamming the door outside the door.

"General! Border Pass Emergency! General! Border Pass Emergency!"

Xu Jintang's eyes widened suddenly, and he turned his head suddenly, but he only saw the inexplicable smile on Gu Cang's face, and he suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart, but he, who had always been proud, still forcibly suppressed the idea of taking the initiative to ask the other party, and said in a deep voice outside: "Come in!"

When the people outside heard this, they quickly pushed the door in, and as soon as they stepped into the house, they suddenly saw that there were two rare people in the house, and they were taken aback, but they immediately saluted Xu Jintang with their fists: "Border army envoy, see general。。。。。。 ”

After that, he raised his head very carefully, and obviously looked at the young man who was sitting opposite the general, who was sitting opposite the general, with a graceful appearance, but a somewhat abnormal face, scratching his ears and cheeks, and some did not know what to call him.

Xu Jintang recognized him, because the other party was the scout who summoned him on weekdays, and seeing that he was still hesitating how to salute Gu Cang, Xu Jintang, who was already a little irritable in his heart, immediately waved his hand and beckoned: "Leave him alone, tell me, what's going on?"

"Ah, yes, General!"

This little scout, who still looked very young, only felt that today's general suddenly seemed to become a little easier to speak, but because of the important military situation, he couldn't afford to delay, and for a while, he didn't have time to think about anything else, so he hurriedly handed over the file with a feather in his hand and had been carrying in his arms.

A gold-painted feather was stuck on it, and it was the most urgent military situation, and a few months earlier, the Wei and Jin coalition forces had invaded Yanzhou, and Yanzhou had used this sign when it sent messages to the imperial court.

As soon as Xu Jintang saw the golden feather, he suddenly became even more restless, his state today is indeed a little wrong, it should be said that since Gu Cang appeared, there has been a slight problem in his state of mind, if it was in the past, he would not have wasted a word with this insignificant little scout at all, no matter how urgent the military situation is, from the other party sending the intelligence file to leaving, there will be no more than two sentences at most, one is "See the general", and the other is "The subordinates will retreat".

He raised the volume of his mouth completely unconsciously, and said, "You just read it!"

"Huh?"

When this little scout heard this, he was still a little stunned for a while, after all, in the past, he always sent things and left, but he never said that he should stay for the general to read, but a pair of Xu Jintang's terrifying eyes that looked over, as thick as a mountain, and as deep as the sea, he quickly lowered his head, hurriedly opened the file that represented the most important military information, and began to read it aloud.

Da Liang has rules, all the scouts and heralds, including the gang at the post station, are uniformly arranged for testing and learning, at least literacy, which is the most basic requirement.

"Three days ago, the whole army of Shu was dispatched to attack Hedong and Yuyang counties, and the defense line of Hedong County was broken。。。。。。 ”

didn't wait to finish listening, but only listened to the first two sentences, Xu Jintang's subordinates suddenly made a hard effort, and the hard corner of the sand table was directly collapsed by him, he suddenly turned his head, looked at Gu Cang, accentuated his tone, and asked sharply: "Why did the Shu army move?"

He didn't understand, because he had already communicated with the forces of all parties who wanted to carve up the Liang Kingdom early on, and reached an agreement, not to mention that the Shu army was not a bunch of fools, knowing that Youzhou had many generals, even if it was not a local army, there were 600,000 border troops!

And these are the real elites killed from the pile of dead, once the people of Shu choose to start a war with Youzhou, not to mention the question of whether to win or not, the key is that this is not beneficial to compete for interests in the next rebellion in the south, just waste energy in vain, it is best to lose both, and the vitality is greatly damaged, and it is more likely that it will be swallowed directly by Youzhou, so the Shu army stays on the border alive, how can it move?

Gu Cang didn't pay attention to him first, but said softly to the young scout who had been standing on the side with a pleasant face: "I'm tired of this little brother, you can go out and avoid it for a while." ”

The little scout was taken aback, glanced at Gu Cang, whose smile was as warm as the afternoon sun, and then looked at Xu Jintang, who had been gloomy and gloomy, as if he was shrouded in dark clouds, but he didn't expect the latter not only didn't look at him, but directly aggravated his tone and scolded: "Go out!"

"Yes, General!"

This person was relieved, hurriedly hugged his fist, and then hugged his fist to Gu Cang, who did not know his identity, as a gesture, and then quickly retreated back from the original way, and when he went out, he did not forget to help the two people inside close the door.

Gu Cang saw that the outsiders were leaving, so he put a hand on the side of the sand table and said with a smile: "This is naturally my idea, I deliberately let them know that Youzhou is in civil strife, and let them feel that this is a good time to make a contribution in one fell swoop, otherwise they will be blocked outside Youzhou, can they participate and get a piece of the pie with you evil ghosts? If you want to eat my cold meat, you naturally need to seize the opportunity and gamble, right?"

The more Xu Jintang listened, the more cold his eyes became, and he said gloomily: "It's ridiculous, could it be that the prince also wants to watch Da Liang die?"

"No, no, no, you misunderstood. Gu Cang suddenly leaned back on the back of the chair, crossed Erlang's legs, looked careless, and said, "This is just a little trick to drive away the wolf, but it seems that it is enough to deal with you, why don't you give it a try, give up the base camp in Youzhou, and go directly to the west?" Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you, the fourteen families who rebelled in Yongzhou have all surrendered to the imperial court, and the 200,000 Yongzhou troops are waiting for the arrival of the general on the side, of course, they will definitely not be your opponents of General Xu, but it doesn't matter, before I left, I also transferred all the guards in the capital by the way, and I might as well make it clear to you, even if the general has 300,000 people in his hands, it will not be their opponent, I don't believe you can give it a try. ”

The Fox Guard is the forbidden army of the capital, belonging to the most terrible army among the Nine Armies, although there are no four border armies such outstanding feats, and even often criticized for being just a showmanship, but the real level, the insider is naturally clear, its combat power is outstanding, and the Xiao cavalry guard one inside and one outside, jointly defend the capital, under the promotion of Gu Cang over the years, the whole army of the Fox Guard from the war horse to the armor, weapons, have completely surpassed others in an era, if they are flanked with the 200,000 Yongzhou army, they don't need more, in fact, just block Xu Jintang, it's enough.

Gu Cang said in a faint tone: "What's more, I think that when my hometown has fallen and my relatives have been killed, how should General Xu settle the restless military spirit at that time? And they won't blame me, they, they will only blame you, the general, blame you for dragging them into this abyss that made them lose everything, at that time, General You's side will raise his arms in a timely manner, do you think that among the 300,000 people under your command, there will be 3,000 who are willing to follow you in the end?"

The meaning of hometown for a person is actually an indescribable feeling, it is said that the fallen leaves return to the roots, where life is, where will naturally die, the countryside fell into the hands of the enemy, relatives were either killed by the enemy, or became a lowly slave, and even became the object of their desire, not to mention these bloody soldiers, ordinary people can't bear it, who will be willing to continue to follow him Xu Jintang to the west?

If you can't beat it, you can still take a detour, as long as you know that your General Xu's final purpose is to expel foreign enemies and subdue the old mountains and rivers, that's enough, and they can also be willingly dragged by you to run to other places, but the problem is that Youzhou has been giving people the impression that they dare to fight and can fight, how can they endure it?

If you don't fight to the death with the Shu army, you are still a Youzhou soldier? Are you still a fucking man?

Xu Jintang looked at him, his mind suddenly turned into a mess, drowsy, as if he had been drugged, suddenly, he suddenly grabbed the last bit of spiritual light, and asked sharply: "What about the Weijin coalition army? I have deduced, with the remaining Xiong Zhen army on the edge of Liangzhou, it will definitely not be able to hold the city, is it possible that you want to watch them fight all the way to the capital? You dragged out the fierce guards, how can the capital be guarded!"

As soon as he mentioned this, Gu Cang suddenly laughed even more heartily.

"Hahahahahaha, General Xu, didn't expect you to panic too?"

Gu Cang laughed for a while, seeing that Xu Jintang on the other side was like a wounded beast, panting, as if he was ready to pounce at any time, and then he said: "Do you think I am like the kind of person who will use all his strength against the thief and show mercy to foreign enemies? I think there should be news in a few days, and it won't take you too long." ”
