Chapter 92: The Great War
In the middle of summer, Fenghua's affairs were unsolved, but Lu Bai brought more amazing news.
The Xijon army was ready to move, and there was a vague tendency to attack.
According to Lu Bai's understanding, Xirong has not yet had the strength to fight with Da Yan, so why should the battle of defeat begin?
But this strange feeling actually made Lu Bai feel a little ...... Familiar.
Between the lightning and flint, Lu Bai remembered that the current situation was very similar to six years ago.
Maybe it doesn't matter if Xijon wins the battle or not, someone is messing up the northwest border behind his back, so that he can take advantage of the chaos to kill people!
Lu Bai is a mixed clan, and has been trained in the hermit master for decades, seemingly free and uninhibited, but he has a chivalrous heart. He didn't care about wealth and power, he just wanted the people on both sides to live in peace.
When Old Taijun Gu rescued him, he knew that the Gu family and his goals were the same.
It is precisely because of this that he is willing to become Fenghua's master when the Gu family is in danger, and is willing to run for the Gu family.
At the beginning, he couldn't help General Gu, but now he must save Gu Zheng.
So, he quickly rushed back to the northwest camp and told the Gu brothers and sisters about his observations of the movements of the Xirong army, as well as his analysis and speculation.
After listening, Gu Zheng looked solemn, got up and bowed to Lu Bai, "Thank you, Master Lu, for telling me everything. I have an idea, and I dare to ask Master Lu to help me......
Originally, Lu Bai wanted Gu Zheng not to lead the troops to the battlefield, just command in the camp.
He explained that Xirong had called for all the people to join the army in the past year, and forcibly conscripted many civilians, and he guessed that the reluctance to launch the attack was related to the large amount of supplies brought in by Dayan. But relying on other people's supplies and recruits, it is impossible to win the battle, and after this defeat, if you want to repeat the old trick, it will take at least another five or six years to do it again.
Therefore, as long as Gu Zheng does not appear on the battlefield, he will not be attacked on his back. As long as you survive, starting with the transportation of materials, you may be able to find the clues you want.
But Gu Zheng put forward a bold idea, he not only wanted to personally lead the troops to the battlefield as usual, but also deliberately revealed his plan to destroy the enemy.
This plan is not a false shot, but a real execution.
He deliberately exposes himself to those who are hiding in the shadows, luring them into attack, and catching their horses.
At first, Fenghua listened to the argument between the master and his brother in a daze, and did not say a word.
At this time, she realized that the situation of the Gu family was more dangerous than she had guessed, power, conspiracy, and the mastermind behind the scenes, these seemingly distant things had long been entangled with the Gu family.
After listening to his brother's plan, Fenghua woke up like a dream and jumped up, "No! The battlefield is already unpredictable, and you have to be distracted to guard against the back, it's too dangerous!"
"That's why I'm going to ask Master Lu for help." Gu Zheng walked to the front of the map and pointed to a position above, "I dragged the location of the decisive battle here, and if you want to plot against me from behind, there is only one hillside. If we had laid an ambush here first and caught the traitor, I would not have been in danger."
"No." Fenghua refused, "Even if there is only one hillside, the scope is too large, in case it is too late......
"Master Lu, you said, is this the fastest and best chance to find clues at the moment?" Gu Zheng interrupted Fenghua and asked Lu Bai instead.
Lu Bai looked at Gu Zheng's glowing eyes and knew that he would definitely not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime "good" opportunity.
But many times, it is not the sacrifice that can be exchanged for the desired result.
"This is indeed a good opportunity, and if you persevere, I will help you too. But Zheng'er, you have to know that the person who came to assassinate him would definitely not be the mastermind behind the scenes, maybe he was just hired by someone, and he didn't even know the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes. For your safety, I may kill people with one arrow, but I will not be able to survive, and all your deployments may not bear fruit."
"The danger outweighs the chance, I don't agree." Fenghua argues with reason.
Gu Zheng was silent in front of the map for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "It's been six years, and I haven't found any clues to point to, as long as they do it this time, they will inevitably leave traces. So, I insist."
"Brother! No!" Fenghua was shocked.
"Hua'er." Gu Zheng turned around and looked at his sister, "When you entered Lianganshan alone to lure the enemy, didn't you know that the danger was greater than the opportunity? But you went anyway. You have no reason to stop me."
Yu Li, how could Fenghua not know that this was a good time, but Yu Qing, how could she watch her brother deliberately get into danger?
"Brother...... her voice weakened, but she still tried to dissuade her.
"You're not in a position to stop me." Gu Zheng interrupted her again, his gaze firm, "You are a soldier of the Zhenxi Army, and I am the commander. And this plan is a military order."
Fenghua saw such a Gu Zheng for the first time - the iron-blooded commander of the Zhenxi Army.
Her brother's firmness made her powerless to refute, since she couldn't stop it, at least he admitted that he was a Zhenxi soldier, so he would fight side by side! So, she said to her brother, "Then I will go to war with you, and I will guard your back!"
"No, you and Master Lu will make yellow sparrows together." Gu Zheng had already thought about it, "During this time, don't go out yet, I will announce to the public that you have not recovered from your injuries and need to continue to stay in bed."
Fenghua still wanted to fight for it, but at this time, Lu Bai agreed to Gu Zheng's plan loudly, "Hua'er, we will cooperate, and you will guard the high place at that time."
In the past few days, the thunder has been rolling, the dark clouds are low, and the heavy rain will not fall.
There were occasional skirmishes on the front line, as usual, and the large army did not press the border.
Fenghua was very tormented in her heart, on the one hand, she hoped that the big war would not start, so that her brother would not have to be in danger; On the one hand, they hope that the war will start sooner so that they can end it as planned.
This contradictory thought, coupled with the gloomy weather, overwhelmed her.
However, just as the heavy rain broke through the dark clouds, the Xijon army was launched.
Gu Zheng calmly ordered his troops and led the mighty Zhenxi Army to meet the battle.
Before the army set off, Fenghua and Lu Bai went around to the other end of the designated hillside and went up the mountain to hide with light skills.
At this time, the nameless hill was as peaceful as water, and the hares and pangolins were boldly running out to look left and right, and the trees and grass were standing in a row, and they had no idea that they were involved in a conspiracy.
The next day, Gu Zheng successfully pushed the battle point of the two armies to the front of the hill, and according to the plan, he would control the battle here within two hours.
This time is enough for the mastermind behind the scenes to receive the specific combat position, and collude with the guards of the Zhenxi Army to release people to carry out the assassination plan.
Lu Bai was dormant near the best shooting point, while Fenghua was at the highest point in the rear, holding a bow and hiding, condescending.
The rainstorm came quickly and went quickly.
The sunlight casts through the layers of dark clouds, faintly appearing, and the sultry summer does not carry a trace of wind.
Wet and stuffy, the master and apprentice were far away from each other, not moving.
In stark contrast to the silence of the mountain, there is a battlefield below with constant shouts of killing.
It was clear that Xijon was the attacking side, but it put on a completely defensive formation; However, Gu Zheng ordered the Zhenxi Army to put on the formation when his father was killed.
Fenghua couldn't help but sweat in his heart.
