Chapter 68: Killing
These holy decrees were all received by Yun Yanzheng and Gu Xi, she naturally knew that the anger of the imperial brother was already unstoppable, but the current situation really did not allow her to send troops.
Yun Yanzheng also hesitated a little in his heart, and his eyes fell on the bright yellow holy decree one after another, and after sighing, he discussed softly and helplessly: "Do we want to borrow a few irrelevant troops to plunder the formation, and first calm down His Majesty's anger?" ”
Gu Xi leaned on the back of the chair relaxed and leisurely, squinted at her, and the smooth black hair slid down from his solid and broad shoulders with a white jade crown, winding and rubbing against the back of the chair, like the clear and high space of a flowing spring under the moon. Wearing a cloud silk coat like clouds and snow on his body, but like a flower in late spring, it shines with a dazzling fragrance. People are like warm jade, clothes are like snow, Yun Yanzheng only felt that the person in front of her was like a picture scroll, that is, it seemed to be far away in the sky, and it seemed to be close in front of her, she unconsciously was in a trance, and saw the two thin red lips on the clear and elegant face slowly open and close, and said in a sarcastic, proud, cunning and soft tone: "Since you have already made up your mind to do something, don't give up and change it halfway." Nowadays, whether it is a fake or a real war, it is harmful and not beneficial. Pretending to send troops will only provoke the morale and anger of the Yu army, but we can't really attack and do this stupid thing of hitting stones with eggs. Your Majesty is far away in Yuecheng, so naturally you will not understand the real situation here, and we know in our hearts that we should not let the soldiers shed blood and sweat in vain, or even die unfortunately, just to win the happiness and trust of those who are in power. Moreover, if we do not achieve the final victory during these expeditions, their sacrifices are really useless, and we cannot exchange them for the slightest joy and reward from our superiors. ”
Yun Yanzheng didn't know that this was the result, she was still frowning, and sighed secretly in her heart.
Gu Yi smiled faintly and said lightly: "Why should the eldest princess worry? The consequences of this incident will be borne by Gu Mou, and it will never affect others. ”
His frank and calm words, calm and calm eyes, all made Yun Yanzheng feel a lot in his heart, the lives of tens of millions of soldiers are fate, isn't his Gu Xi's life his fate? In any case, she felt that she was finally forcing the young man in front of her to embark on a desperate road that she should not go and could not turn back, Yun Yanzheng felt so uncomfortable that she tightly pursed her lips into a line.
"The eldest princess doesn't have to be uncomfortable, I said, I volunteered to be this person." The smile in Gu Xi's eyes was ethereal, his tone was calm and stretched, and his expression was elegant and calm. At this moment, the afterglow outside the window just shone on his eyebrows, and the golden light reflected that every eyelash seemed to be distinct, and the pair of unusually clear and pure pupils also seemed to become clear, and the inside was full of gentle luster.
Unable to take his eyes away, Yun Yanzheng stared at Gu Xi in a daze, and for a moment the emotions in his heart were extremely complicated, and he didn't know what kind of taste was overflowing in his chest.
Gu Xi stood up leisurely, stretched his arms lazily, winked at her, and said with a smile: "My commander, I feel a little hungry for your military advisor." Shall we go for dinner? ”
A few days later, the spy who infiltrated Yu sent information. The impeachment recital in the court of Yu was like a snowflake, and the most concentrated accusation was that Gu He, the general of the Yu army, was implicated in a bribery case and defected to the enemy of the Wei country, resulting in the loss of more than 20,000 soldiers and generals in the battle between the Yu army and the Wei army in the Longyuan Valley Antenna Gorge. Then Gu He's wife and children were rescued in the territory of Yu and disappeared. His father, brothers, and relatives spread to hundreds of people in prison in a row from the nine clans.
The Yu army, which was sealing the city, wanted to invade the north, but encountered fierce resistance from the Wei army, and the two sides fell into a fierce battle. And in the silence of Sioux City, there was faint news to the Chinese military camp of the Yu army, the wife and children of the general Gu He appeared in Sioux City, and they were gathering in the city, and the Yu army in the city could not help but be shaken by the army's heart, and they talked about their main Gu He's surrender to the enemy. The military camp of the Yu army repeatedly sent spies to Sioux City to investigate the authenticity, but they were ruthlessly intercepted and killed by the spies of the Wei army.
And Gu He, who was in Sioux City, only he knew that there was nowhere to vomit with a belly of Coptis chinensis. Obviously, he didn't do anything, what did he throw himself into, what kind of bribery, he couldn't help himself. He heard about his father's and brother's bribery more or less secretly, but he had persuaded and persuaded him, and he was angry, and he couldn't hide his father's and brother's greed at all, not to mention that in his position, if he didn't join the dirt, he would be regarded by others as a different kind of party and excluded, and even black. Although he secretly cut off contact with his father and brother, in the eyes of outsiders, they are flesh and blood after all, and they are all related, how can they be irrelevant.
What was the cause of the incident, and how was the finger pointed at him. Gu He, as a general with both civil and military skills, naturally has some guesses. It's just that this matter is very involved, and the power he can imagine is not in his understanding, and he often only feels that his guess is too exaggerated and ridiculous.
Maybe it was God intentional, and by chance, the commander of the Wei army used this matter to make a fuss, people are not as good as heaven, and some destined disasters are really unstoppable.
He had made up his mind that he would never surrender to the enemy, as long as he planned to launch an attack on the Chaowei army and assisted his comrades in the blockade to occupy the six cities in Jiangbei, then the rumors would be self-defeating, and he could even make more meritorious deeds to save the lives of his father, brother, wife and children.
However, what he did not expect was that the enemy would be so powerful. He was able to rescue his wife and children from Yuguo, and even sent a spy into Sioux City to let him go out of the city to meet his wife and children. When he thought it was the enemy's plan to lure the enemy, he led the soldiers and horses out of the city and came to the bamboo forest, saw the figures of his wife and son who had been separated for a long time, and saw the familiar faces of his wife and children with deep doubt and fear in their eyes, Gu He's mind was a little confused, and his body felt as light as catkins. But as a man, he must not let his wife and children be frightened and abandoned, not to mention that he didn't see anyone else except his wife and children at all. Gu He could only protect his wife and children and return to Sioux City, and he had no choice but to reunite with his family.
Gu He stroked his sword under the lamp, knowing that no matter what he said or what he did this time, he was afraid that he would be speechless and the evidence was conclusive. What's more, not only did he not know the identity of the kidnappers from the mouths of his wife and children, but also learned that they had taken the drugs given by the other party, so that he should not act rashly.
With such a dilemma, how can he choose?
The Yu army in Sioux City was quietly silent, but the Yu army that was sealing the city suddenly encountered an unprecedented attack. Seal the city on one side according to the river and defend, the Yu army is constantly attacked by the Wei water army, the city gate on both sides of the mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, close and hold on to prevent the Wei army from coming to reinforce, only the north gate of the city allows the Yu army to enter the city across the closure to continue to attack north, the north gate is outside the Yu country, the Wei army is difficult to approach, Chu Zhijing as long as the Changyan River port is firmly guarded for the Yu army in the military camp to continue to enter the Wei country.
That night, the twilight was reckless, just when the Chinese military camp thought that the Sucheng Valley River had become a rebellion, but under their surprise, the two southeast gates of the closed city were opened in the city, and the Wei army, which had already been ambushed, and the water army on the Changyan River, and the Nine Heavens Cavalry should join forces to attack the city, and surrounded and annihilated the Yu army in the city on three sides.
Gu Xi still borrowed Yun Yanzheng's golden armor and white robe, with a purple face, and took the lead. In the Wei army, he commanded the Nine Heavens Cavalry to force the Yu army on three sides, causing some of them to withdraw from the north gate, disperse their forces, and then close the city gate, catch turtles in the urn, and destroy them one by one. After that, the Wei army was divided into three routes, guarding the north gate all the way to prevent the retreating Yu army from attacking the city again; All the way north, the Yu army remaining in the territory of the Ul State was killed with blood and pestles, and the bones were dry everywhere; There is another naval army on the Changyan River, which is strictly guarded and guarded, preventing the Yu army from crossing the river and fleeing, and lurking in chaos.
It was Gu Xi who was in charge of guarding the north gate, and it was Helian Hongyu and Qing Yan who were in charge of chasing and hunting to bypass the mountains and forests to open the city gate. The two of them, one of them was a flying cavalry general, leading the army of the Nine Heavens Cavalry with bows and knives, cutting the momentum like thunder, and killing the remnants of the Yu army; One is the spy outpost, leading the spy elite to cooperate with each other and clean up the Yu army spies in the territory.
When Gu Xi deliberately let the Yuguo spy fly to Sioux City to report the news, and when Gu He decided to come to support, Wen Yuan had already opened the front and confronted him again halfway. At this moment, the morale of the country is booming, and although Wenyuan is a little tired from fighting against the Yu army in the city for several days, he is mentally high-spirited and confident. And Gu He, the general of the Yu army, was framed and attacked this time, worried about the safety of his wife and children, and the heart of the Yu army was unstable.
Between the strong and the weak, there is a clear difference.
Even so, Gu Xiju will not ignore the courage of the defeated army, and it is possible to turn defeat into victory, and as a chess player who looks at the overall situation, he will naturally not allow such a mistake. If Wenyuan is still defeated in the end, he will come to greet Gu He.
In this battle of Weiyu, his military purpose was to weaken the military strength of Yu as much as possible. The chess pieces he arranged broke out one by one, and things developed step by step according to the plan in his heart, even though there was a slight deviation in the middle, but it did not deviate too much under his control.
The Chinese military camps of the Yu army were either besieged or hindered inside and outside the closed city, but outside the city of Hui it appeared calm. Just in case, Yun Yanzheng still ordered to strictly guard against the possibility of enemy troops attacking the city, and the sergeants of the whole city were on guard, changing shifts according to strict hours, and sticking to the city to protect their home and country.
Yun Yanzheng guarded the city with the soldiers, she occasionally looked in the direction of the closed city, and there was a vast darkness in the middle of the night in front of her, but there was a trace of ups and downs in her heart.
