In November of the second year of Cheng'an, heavy snow was everywhere in the north, and Akagi was shrouded in gloomy clouds.

Because General Jingbian An Huai died three days ago.

This old general who has been guarding the north all his life, even if he was seriously injured by the Beidi people last time, survived, after all, he still couldn't survive this winter.

Since An Huai was assassinated last time, his health has not been good, his injuries have been repeated, and he has been injured on the battlefield for a year, and now it is time to run out of oil and run out.

Gu Qingming ordered the soldiers on the border to keep a vigil for An Huai for three days, and then sent someone to send the remains of General An Lao back to the capital overnight and hand them over to his family for burial, while he himself took the place of An Huai's chief general and confronted Beidi.

The alliance between Nanyi, Beidi and Xiyue has been severed by him, and the troubles on the side of Nanyi and Xiyue have long been cleared, and the two countries have even handed in a letter of surrender, willing to pay tribute to Daning every year, and only ask the Daning army not to continue fighting.

But only this Beidi, a hundred-legged insect, is dead but not stiff.

What's more, Gu Qingming found that Bol Bing was more difficult to deal with than before, because Bol Bing's side had a group of dead soldiers with strong martial arts and who did not want to die.

There were more than a hundred of these dead soldiers, all of whom were carefully selected orphans and trained, just like the secret guards in the hands of the Empress Dowager Qin in the past.

But what Gu Qingming couldn't figure out was that the origin of these dead soldiers was a mystery, and it didn't look like it was trained by Bo Bing, but it seemed like he got it by accident after he had taken a lot of luck. It is precisely because of the existence of these dead soldiers that Nanyi and Xiyue will agree to the alliance of Beidi, and An Huai will die at the hands of these people.

Bor Bing has lost all his martial arts, but there is still no one to hurt him, because he has people around him to protect him at all times.

"General Gu, this was discovered by the guards on the city gate just now, and the Beidi people want to take General Deng's head tonight. Vice General Xu took the note over and handed it to Gu Qingming, "General, this is the third time, first General An, then General Liu, and now General Deng...... When you didn't come, they had succeeded in the first two times, and if they succeeded this time, then we would have fewer and fewer generals who could lead the troops......"

Gu Qingming looked at the note in his hand, and listened to Vice General Xu's rather worried words, countless thoughts flashed in his heart, and he quickly had an idea.

"Vice General Xu, all the generals of more than 1,000 households in the Northern Army have gathered in my account, and I have something to arrange. Gu Qingming commanded, then turned around and left, returning to his tent.

There was no one else in the account, Gu Qingming sat in front of the desk, took out a pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and began to write a letter - the letter was addressed to Yun Yao.

One piece of paper after another, he wrote a lot, but Gu Qingming didn't seem to have written enough, as if he wanted to write all his thoughts for more than a year on paper at one time.

I don't know how long it took, Vice General Xu said at the door: "General, all the generals with more than 1,000 households have arrived." ”

"Got it, wait a minute. Gu Qingming finally stopped writing, blew the last piece of paper, and after the ink was dry, he folded what he had written before, put it in an envelope, and then sealed it with fire paint.

After doing all this, Gu Qingming called Gu Yan: "You personally send this letter back to the capital and hand it to Madame." After you go back, you don't have to come again, stay with Madame, and protect Madame's safety with Achen. ”

"General......" Gu Yan was obviously confused by Gu Qingming's sudden behavior, and he couldn't see what Gu Qingming meant at all.

"Go ahead, do as I tell you. Gu Qingming's face became serious, staring at Gu Yan, making him have to agree.

"Subordinates receive orders!" Gu Yan took the letter, arched his hand towards Gu Qingming, turned around and walked out of the tent.

After waiting for a while, Gu Qingming called all the generals in and stood densely below, almost filling the entire camp tent.

No one spoke, everyone looked at Gu Qingming at the top, waiting for him to command.

After a while, Gu Qingming took the note handed to him by Vice General Xu before, handed it to all the generals and asked them to pass it on: "I have been traveling to Nanyi and Xiyue before, but I didn't expect Beidi to be rampant to this extent. Both General An Lao and General Liu died at the hands of these elusive dead soldiers, and we can no longer sit idly by. ”

"General Gu, what do you think, as long as you can destroy Beidi's group of bastards, I am willing to do whatever I want!" said a thousand generals below.

"I have my own arrangements for this. Gu Qingming opened his mouth to speak, and his calm and relaxed appearance soothed the irritable emotions of everyone present, "What my Daning soldiers are good at fighting on the battlefield with swords and guns, not this kind of unsightly deed." None of you have the experience to deal with this, nor do you have the ability to fight the dead, and this matter must be resolved by me. Therefore, tonight, General Deng and I changed camp tents, and the commander's camp was heavily guarded. ”

"Absolutely not!" When General Deng heard this, he immediately objected, "General Gu, you are the soul of our Daning's army, with you, you can deter the enemy, if you have a good one, the end will be difficult to escape the blame!"

"General Deng doesn't need to say much, I have made up my mind about this matter. Gu Qingming shook his head and said, "I want to take this opportunity to find out the dens of these dead men like Bol Bing, if they can kill Bol Bing and Ge Shu Madness, they will definitely be able to make Beidi chaotic for another twenty years, and then the danger of Chicheng will naturally be solved." ”

"But if General Gu is allowed to be in danger alone, wouldn't it be too incompetent for us to wait?" Vice General Xu also objected.

"It's the only way, and none of you but me have the speed to keep up with the dead. Gu Qingming said, "It's decided, now you all listen to the arrangements after I leave." If my prediction is correct, Bo Bing will definitely not be in the Beidi army, he is now completely lost, he must be hiding in a place where no one can find it, what you have to do is to attack the Beidi camp after I leave, attract the attention of Ge Shu, so that he can't be distracted to save Bo Bing......"

Gu Qingming's firm attitude and resolute eyes blocked all the words that the generals wanted to say in their hearts and couldn't say it.

They all understand that no one spares their lives, especially Gu Qingming, after he got married, he and the eldest princess of Jing'an have only lived a peaceful life for less than a month, if he can, he naturally doesn't want to risk his life and fight for his life.

But now, Bor Bing used those dead soldiers, killed the generals of Daning, and shook the heart of the Daning army, if this continues, there will be no one who can lead the troops to fight in the north of Daning, and then Chicheng will be in Beidi's bag.

Gu Qingming's move is for the peace of the Daning border and for the lives of all the soldiers.

Everyone listened carefully to Gu Qingming's words and kept their tasks firmly in their hearts, for fear that something would go wrong and make Gu Qingming's hard work in vain.

The discussion continued into the evening, and when night fell, the crowd dispersed.

General Deng and Gu Qingming changed their clothes and stayed in the commander's tent, while Gu Qingming wore General Deng's clothes and arrived at General Deng's tent with a sword.

In the dead of night, everyone except the patrolling soldiers had already fallen asleep. But the generals who had participated in the deliberations during the day could not sleep, because they all knew what would happen in the hour.

Time passed bit by bit, and soon it was time to sub-time. The two soldiers guarding outside General Deng's account fell down with a bang, one left and one right, but they were quickly caught and placed lightly on the ground without alarming anyone.

But what they didn't know was that all this was seen by Gu Qingming.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed at the door of the camp, and two black-clothed men flashed in, and the two swords went straight towards Gu Qingming's stele valley, trying to kill him with one move.

But just as the sword was about to touch Gu Qingming's back, he suddenly turned around and made a move, and the index and middle fingers of his left and right hands clamped the long sword, making the two black-clothed people unable to move.

The two men in black glanced at each other, and saw a signal in each other's eyes: Trick!

Thinking of this, the two stopped fighting, let go of the long sword and turned around and ran, without any intention of entanglement with Gu Qingming.

But where would Gu Qingming let go of such a good opportunity? He got up and grabbed the saber in his hand, quickly chased it out, and followed the two men in black towards the outside of the city.

The two black-clothed men ran fast, they were already the people with the highest light skills in the entire team of dead soldiers, and they couldn't imagine that anyone else could keep up with them, so they didn't notice Gu Qingming chasing after them from behind.

Just ran all the way and headed in the direction of Ghost Tooth Mountain.

Gu Qingming judged the direction and had a plan in his heart, but he didn't show up, and followed for a full hour and a half, only to see the two black-clothed people stop in the cold valley, the two took out a whistle from their bodies, blew it directly, and the bright voice resounded in the night sky.

After only hearing a few brushes, Gu Qingming found that there were many more people in the entire Cold Valley, and the place where he was standing was surrounded by these people.

"Gu Qingming, since you're here, why hide and hide?" Bol Bing's voice sounded from the other side.

Gu Qingming saw two dead soldiers escorting Bol Bing out one left and one right, standing opposite him. His face did not change, and he walked out calmly and confronted Bolbing from afar.

"It seems that you really took great pains to kill me, almost all the dead soldiers in your hands have arrived, right?" Gu Qingming's gaze swept from the surroundings and asked nonchalantly.

Bol Bing couldn't help but be angry when he looked at Gu Qingming's indifferent attitude. He felt very unfair, why was Gu Qingming so lucky, no matter how many injuries he suffered, someone would help him heal, but he himself ended up with a complete loss of martial arts?

"Hmph, Gu Qingming, you are so smart that you can't even see this little trick, why are you called the god of war?" Bol Bing said angrily, wanting to see Gu Qingming's annoyed and angry appearance because of the scheme.

"Bo Erbing, you really don't know anything about me, if it weren't for knowing that you deliberately used this trick to lure me forward, why would I have planned it?" Gu Qingming smiled lightly, "I know that you have been defeated by me many times, and you want to see how I die, so it will definitely appear, but why don't I want to end up in trouble for my Daning?"

When the words fell, the smugness on Bolbing's face instantly shattered: "I really underestimated you." But what if you do what you do, how can you stop me, the dead?"
