413 70,000 lives (2nd watch)
The old story came to an abrupt end here. Tonight's destination has arrived.
The night Keju field dispersed the noise and bustle of the day, the silvery moonlight was a little bleak and lonely, the wind passed through the forest, the leaves rustled, and the birds sleeping on the trunk of the trees unconsciously cooed, which was particularly clear in the forest.
Shi Huan noticed that Gu Ci's whole person was tense, and then looked at Lin Yuan, he was just as careful as he could even breathe, according to Gu Ci, Xiaoba was almost brought out by Lin Yuan, presumably, the relationship between them is a little thicker than others, they are also teachers and friends, not relatives, but better than relatives.
Perhaps, to the young man, this calm lieutenant knows his mind better than his biological father, who is ready to break his leg in order to give him a chance to live......
They walked to the tree not far from Shi Huan's grandstand under the queen's stand at that time, "When he saw him at that time, he hid there, but when he saw me turn around, he immediately ran away." β
She called Lin Yuan, who was hurrying in that direction, "Deputy General Lin." β
No matter how eager he was, Lin Yuan would not lose his manners, and turned around to wait for Shi Huan's command. But seeing the girl muttering for a moment, she said, "Vice General Lin...... When I saw him before, there was a big difference between his appearance and the appearance in the portrait. If, if it's just that I'm wrong...... It's also possible. β
She only said that she was wrong, but it was also to remind Lin Yuan that this person and the young man in his memory had already judged the two of them, and it would be better to be mentally prepared if they suddenly saw it at that time.
Lin Yuan nodded, arched his hand, and turned around in that direction without saying a word.
Gu Ci looked much calmer than Lin Yuan, but if he looked closely, he could also see that he was holding the fan tightly, and with so much force, he could see that his knuckles were white.
"Senior brother." She stretched out her hand and pulled him, "Senior brother, let's go to the other side and have a look." β
Gu Ci let her lead her, the joy and sorrow were not obvious, and even a little drooping her head. But the mind gradually calmed down, and the anxiety when he heard the news of Xiaoba was gradually calmed down very well, the girl was soft and soft, and the nose was full of the good smell of light fragrance on her body, and the three souls and seven spirits could be well comforted.
Unlike Lin Yuan's complex emotions as a brother and teacher, he only felt guilty about this young man.
"Xiaoba is ...... Jiaozhou Campaign" The moonlight is very good, unlike the sun's brilliance and dazzling nowhere to hide, the moonlight can always contain a lot of unspeakable emotions under the sun, Gu Ci took Shi Huan with his backhand, and took her to walk in the forest, while paying attention to the surrounding situation, he whispered, "I thought he died in the Jiaozhou Campaign." β
That's the truth that he never told humanity even if he came back in another life.
At that time, Hachi was already able to stand alone, and he was clever, so he was often sent out to do some reconnaissance tasks. But that time, Xiao Hachi was already injured, and he shouldn't have been sent out to do such a dangerous thing, but the young man was lonely and brave, and felt that no one in the whole army was eating idle food, just some minor injuries, so why worry about it. So I patted my chest on the spot and promised.
Gu Ci admired him, just like appreciating his once fearless self.
So he gave wine on the spot, and watched the young man go out in high spirits. Afterwards...... Xiao Bayi never came back.
The Battle of Jiaozhou was the biggest defeat in the history of Gu Ci's army, not to mention that he was seriously injured, and the 50,000 army was almost wiped out, so that the government and the opposition felt that Gu Ci was ...... It's scrapped, and a generation of young generals is afraid that they will no longer be able to lift swords, guns, swords, and halberds to scold Fang Xuan.
But what is the truth in it, no one knows so far, and the historian has only a few numbers in his pen, asking Gu Ci, Gu Ci avoided talking about it, and the surviving soldiers were also silent and unwilling to mention it, and the emperor ...... He never deliberately asked for the truth.
As a result, the battle became more and more confusing.
Shi Huan had never asked before, firstly, she was worried about mentioning Gu Ci's sadness, and secondly, there was no suitable opportunity, but this time when she saw Gu Ci take the initiative to talk about it, she asked, "Which one is it...... Whose hands and feet? β
The tone is desolate, with a thoroughness after seeing through everything.
Afterwards, the emperor did not hold anyone responsible, and even moved almost the entire medicinal materials in the imperial treasury to Gu Ci, and the world only said that the emperor favored this nephew, after all, it can be seen from the matter of giving the surname. But whether it's favoritism or guilt sealing, who can say for sure.
The emperor used the huge momentum here to quietly cover up the ugliness over there.
Afterwards, most of the soldiers who came back alive were rewarded by the imperial court to varying degrees - a battle that was almost wiped out, and everyone was sealed? As everyone knows, there must be demons when things go wrong.
Royal anomaly...... He is a big demon.
Gu Ci frowned and didn't speak, so Shi Huan asked, "Yes...... Gu Yanqing? "After all, he has done such a bad thing before, just for a woman, and he does not hesitate to use his own people in the city as hostages.
Gu Ci shook his head, "No." β
The Battle of Jiaozhou was indeed not Gu Yanqing.
At that time, Gu Yanqing was still in Sunset City. At that time, Gu Yanqing had not been in Sunset City for a long time, and her foundation was unstable, so she naturally couldn't care about anything else. And Gu Yanqing has never regarded Gu Ci as an opponent, in the eyes of Gu Yanqing, who is inferior and proud, what can be his opponent is just the princes of the royal family who have the right to participate in the battle for succession.
Others...... In the final analysis, no matter how powerful he is and his military exploits are great, he is just a retainer and subordinate of his Gu clan's royal family, and at that time, he will be the object of life and death with a holy decree.
If Gu Yanqing is the contradictory pride generated by extreme inferiority, then Gu Yanyao is a fool who grew up in a group of sycophants with a golden spoon in his mouth, so that he doesn't know the height of the sky.
Gu Yanyao wants to control the entire court, and all the civil and military officials he wants to make in the court are his ministers, and he wants to fill the court and the army with his manpower, he wants to ...... The party is the same and the party is different.
Obviously, as Taifu's most proud protΓ©gΓ© and Gu Ci, who has a lot of dealings with the Shi family, is the biggest "difference".
For this reason, Gu Yanyao did not hesitate to go out of the city, used his right connections, and lied to Gu Ci with a forged emperor's secret decree that Gu Ci had the intention to rebel, and borrowed 20,000 Jin Northern Army five days away from Jiaozhou to ambush and kill compatriots in a country. Even, worried that Gu Ci would not be able to pass through, the knives of the 20,000 people were all poisoned.
The past is calm and sad, not only in the battle of Jiaozhou, there were 50,000 casualties, and there were 20,000 Jin Northern Army, even if there were those who went back with their lives, they were all slaughtered and sealed in the end. 70,000 blood-drenched lives were silently covered up by the words "Jiaozhou Campaign".
Since he woke up, the emperor came to see him, and between his words, he only said that none of the 20,000 survived, only that there were still one or two of the 50,000 left, and only said that the matter had already happened, and in order to avoid a greater uproar, it was the best ending to calm down......
He threatens a soldier with a survivor.
To the royal family, that's just a number. It is not as important as the balance of the emperor.
