There is a winter city on the border of Beihuang, which is the first gate of heaven in the north of Beihuang, also known as "natural danger", just because the person stationed is Gu Changwu.

Gu Changwu was wearing armor and stood on top of the towering city wall, with an endless dusk in front of him.

Not seeing a little green grassland, Gu Changwu sighed, not knowing how the harvest of Xichu was this year.

The people of Western Chu are strong and very good at fighting immediately.

The border people in the north are nomadic herdsmen on weekdays, and in winter, when they ride their horses and wield their scimitars, they are fierce rangers.

In that winter 30 years ago, Xichu encountered a once-in-a-century famine.

That year, almost everyone in Xichu was a soldier, and the army was overwhelming, and the winter guards at that time abandoned the city and fled.

The cavalry of Western Chu was even more unstoppable, and it was almost invincible when winter came, burning and robbing all the way, plundering three cities, and approaching the Songhua River.

At that time, the cavalry of Western Chu, if they crossed the Songhua River and crossed the three passes of Jianglin Kuidou, behind them was the core of Beihuang and the imperial capital of Shujing, how dangerous the situation was.

When the new emperor first ascended to the throne, several elders of the court and the central government were mainly peacemakers, and Xichu actually proposed to compensate one million taels of gold, pay tribute every year, and marry Princess Wenyi and relatives to show the sincerity of peace.

Princess Wenyi is the emperor's mother's sister and sister, the West Chu is bitter and cold, the queen mother regrets that she washes her face with tears every day, and the young emperor is angry and reluctant, but her foundation is still shallow, and the emperor has not yet sat down.

Gu Changwu is the second son of Gu Lian, the head of the household department, and has been in the palace since he was a child.

Please order the disaster to be leveled, and make a military order, will go out of the battlefield to die, lead 100,000 elite soldiers to fight hard for several months, and even kill the king of Western Chu with one arrow.

Western Chu was defeated several times, and finally had the intention of retreating, and Gu Changwu chased out of Donglin City for 2,000 miles, and drove the remnants of Western Chu to the border of the Moha grassland.

But under the pretext of marching for several months, the people were working and losing money, and the people were suffering and so on, forcing the emperor to issue an edict to review Changwu, otherwise Western Chu would have perished thirty years ago.

Year after year, they rushed to the east and plundered, in a vain attempt to invade the inland of Beihuang again.

Gu Changwu was seventeen years old and worshiped the general of Sanpin Changsheng, guarded the city in winter for 30 years, experienced one hundred and six battles of all sizes, although he was already a first-class general to protect the country, and his temples were gray at the age of half a hundred.

The young emperor is also old, increasingly mediocre, suspicious, the crown prince has not been established, several princes are fighting openly and secretly, fratricidal, and the court is divided into parties and factions, and the power is sought for personal gain.

Gu Changwu sighed in his heart, he was afraid that the empire that the emperor had worked so hard to build would collapse in the hands of others.

"Report" a messenger to present a sealed secret letter, Gu Changwu opened it at a glance and ten lines, and Yingmei, who was stained with wind and sand, was even more wrinkled into Trump, "Call Gu Changhuan to guard the camp and discuss matters." ”

At the mention of Gu Changhuan, Gu Changwu's expression had a trace of unnatural embarrassment.

Gu Changwu only had one main room Han and gave birth to three children for him.

When Han gave birth to her eldest daughter, she had a difficult birth and injured her body, and she was afraid that she would not be able to get pregnant.

Han tearfully persuaded Gu Changwu to take the ancestral family business as the most important thing and take concubines to spread the branches.

He and the Han family have been together since childhood, childhood sweethearts, how could he bear to let her down, so he swore that he would never accept a concubine.

Gu Changwu was already disheartened, and wanted to stay for a few more years to succeed a child of the clan, which could be regarded as a continuation of the Gu family's lineage.

didn't want God to have mercy, Han gave birth to a young son for him, and he was very happy, so he named him Gu Changhuan, and he was very fond of him.

Gu Changwu has been out on expeditions all year round, and when he found out, Gu Changhuan had become a son of Huan who lived in Willow Lane on Flower Street all the year round.

Gu Changwu was angry, so he asked the emperor for his life, and brought Gu Changhuan to the side to let him hone more and develop a manly spirit.

"Dad, you're looking for me."

A lazy voice sounded, and when I heard it, I felt that there was a feminine atmosphere, and then I saw the merry air from the shop, and there were countless grease powder fragrances on my body.

"Bang"

"Smack"

The table under Gu Changwu's hands shattered in response, and only a few pieces of waste wood were left on the ground.

Gu Changhuan knew that his father must be angry again, but he didn't care, he straightened out the hairpin in front of his forehead, "Father, if you don't want to see your son, don't let someone call your son, the Kui lady of Hehuan Building has newly choreographed the dance and is waiting for her son to compose the music." ”

Saying that he was about to leave, Gu Changwu's several gray beards were raised, "Stop, you are my Gu family's son, what do you look like?" The flowers and branches worn every day, smeared with grease and powder, often flowing in the flower lane, and whether there is a little manhood, my father brought you to the barracks to sharpen you, not to find you a new place for freshness. ”

Gu Changhuan waved his sleeves and sat directly beside Gu Changwu, "Say, father, what is the emperor's secret decree?" ”

Gu Changwu was speechless for a while, although his son did not have a trace of manhood from him, he was extremely smart, and his heart seemed to be impossible to hide in front of him.

Gu Changwu coughed dryly, "There is an epidemic in Dingcang City, hundreds of miles outside Liaobei, and the existing infected people are wandering around, causing the epidemic to spread to Liushi City, I want you to surround Liushi City and control the border cities, and the people inside can enter but not leave, and the epidemic must not be allowed to spread again." ”

Gu Changhuan was tilting his head and combing his slender nails, and Erlang's legs suddenly froze, "But you can't get in or out, that is, you don't care about life and death?" ”

Gu Changwu looked straight and looked into the distance, "The epidemic broke out too quickly and violently, and there is no way to treat the symptoms in the DPRK and China, so it can only be so." ”

Gu Changhuan said goodbye: "That son went." ”

Looking at the butterfly shadow on Gu Changhuan's white clothes, "This is the emperor's secret decree, children should take care, they must not get close to the epidemic area, and they must not use local things for food and water, I will let Mr. Lan go with you, and take care of you all the way to live and travel, you must not be capricious, remember." ”

Gu Changhuan had already walked to the door, and he didn't look back and waved his hand and said, "Father, don't worry, the child will come back alive." ”

After saying that, he left in style, Gu Changwu watched his only son go away, and he didn't know who to whisper to: "Why is it like this, why is it necessary to be like this." ”

The Imperial City of Sujing, the city of the Son of Heaven, is called the city of Huanghuang, also known as the city of panic.

The palace is located in the inner city, and there is a panicked old man in the palace, but he is in his early fifties, but his rickety and shrunken figure is covered with a dragon robe, his slightly hunched back, and his white hair looks like he is already dying, and his bloodshot eyes are staring directly at the lights in front of the dragon bank.

The eunuch under the case still maintained a five-body posture, and he didn't dare to gasp, and his forehead was already covered with sweat.

The henchmen and eunuchs who were accompanying him were even more terrified, and the emperor had become more and more moody recently.

The secret decree asked the general to go to the epidemic area to control the epidemic in person, and sent an eyeliner to ask whether Gu Changwu's father and son acted according to the order, and after learning that Gu Changhuan only brought 20,000 horses, a waiting doctor and a few military doctors to the epidemic area, he smashed the song again.

The entire imperial study is in an atmosphere of death, and everyone is afraid that the emperor will pick off his head in the next sentence.

Li Yue pressed the dragon head on the dragon chair and sighed lightly, "Chang Wu, Chang Wu, it's not easy for me to sit in this position,"

He glanced at his henchman eunuch, and Duo Shuhai immediately stepped forward flatteringly, "Your Majesty, do you still drive Baizhi Palace at night?" Concubine Jiang asked the slave to report that she had newly learned dance and wanted to dedicate it to His Majesty. ”

"Hmm." Li Yue's tired eyes had a hint of expectation, this Concubine Jiang is really a lovely person.

The sea of more waves swept the dust, "The emperor drove the Baizhi Palace." ”
