Chapter 91: The Battle of Dongchuan (3)
The remnant sun of winter is hypocritical, making people immersed in the illusion of nothingness as if they are bathing in the sun, in fact, they can't feel a trace of temperature reflected on people's bodies, and some just keep shivering.
Meng Yan and Gu Qingfeng stood side by side on the head of the city, looking at the corpses of the soldiers of Xifu everywhere outside the city, the flesh on his face was twitching, he wanted to scold Lu Ping, but he couldn't, he completed the task of seizing Qiqi to the letter, in the face of 50,000 Zhu Mu's barbarians, he won, but he left nearly 8,000 Xifu athletes sleeping forever at the foot of Ma'an Mountain, and the grief in Meng Yan's heart was indescribable.
"Your Highness, are you alright?" Gu Qingfeng asked slightly, she could see that Meng Yan was on the verge of going berserk.
Meng Yan held back for a long time, hammered the wall, and said faintly: "Report to Chencheng, you will win a big victory, and you will be killed by 30,000." β
"What about General Lu Ping? You can't just hang it like that, can you? Gu Qingfeng specially reminded that she also hated Lu Ping, but it was really not the time to deal with him.
"The documents for the promotion of the title were sent as usual, and the 'Marquis of Liangshan County' was changed to 'Marquis of Liangshan County', and he was transferred to the deputy envoy of the Changsha Army and the leader of the Liling Assassin History." Meng Yan said expressionlessly.
Gu Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, when she first arrived at the racecourse, she was courteous to Lu Ping, she knew that this was what Jin Qian meant, seeing that she was deeply trusted by Meng Yan, Jin Qian, who had no foundation in Xifu, moved her mind, and she did not refuse Jin Qian's kindness, but no one expected Lu Ping to be so brainless, one was to launch a fierce attack on Qi Qi without Meng Yan's permission, and the other was to chatter in front of Meng Yan in the tone of a victor after the tragic victory, which was taboo, Even if he wanted to say something for him, he didn't dare to speak anymore when he heard Meng Yan's arrangement, and the word "Liang" was changed to "cool", which showed Meng Yan's attitude.
"My subordinates understand, how to arrange it here, and which general is going to be transferred over?" Gu Qingfeng, as Meng Yan's senior counselor, is responsible for Meng Yan, and after the Qi Qi, he must quickly take down Zhu Ti and Nayong in order to block Zhu Mu's clan in the southwest.
"How is Meng Huan's injury?"
This sudden question made Gu Qingfeng, who has a keen sense of smell, smell a breath, it seems that His Royal Highness is about to start using newcomers, Meng Huan's identity and status are very special, he is first of all Meng Yan's younger brother, and secondly, Ye Shuai's first apprentice, he has been Yu Geng's deputy general, has run Shaoling's affairs, and has experienced the "Thorn Moon Incident" throughout the whole process, so there is no problem at all for such a person to come and take over the vanguard army, and there will not be any opposition even in Xifu.
"Shiyi Lang's injury is no problem at all, you can come over, it's just that the supply of troops is not good to use the Hezhou army, the battle line of the Hezhou army is too long, and it has reached the limit." Gu Qingfeng completely agreed with Meng Huan's transfer, but the problem of the source of soldiers was indeed in front of him.
Meng Yan thought for a while and said: "20,000 people were each transferred from the Hengyang Army and the Baoqing Army, Meng Huan was appointed as the assassin of the Emperor, and Gu Sheng was transferred over as the commander of the Army. β
Gu Qingfeng was a little surprised when he heard Gu Sheng's name, Gu Sheng can be regarded as his clan brother, and he was transferred to Qingshuai soon after the Battle of Hengyang, could it be that Gu Sheng had a problem in the Battle of Dongchuan.
Seeing Gu Qingfeng's hesitation, Meng Yan explained: "Qingfeng, I didn't transfer Gu Sheng over because he had a problem, Shiyi Lang is still young after all, Gu Sheng has been a middle-level general all the year round, and he still has a set of mentality and management of soldiers, let him come over to assist Shiyi Lang is to strengthen his strength, a total of nearly 70,000 soldiers and horses will be like this city if he is not careful, understand?" β
Gu Qingfeng nodded, "The clan brother has the ability to keep the success, as a deputy, he is qualified, and his subordinates know their mistakes, so they will do it immediately." Then he turned and went down to the tower.
Meng Yan looked at Gu Qingfeng's figure with an embarrassed look on his face, Haoyue's last words and the contact for more than half a year, he is not without wood, he is emotional, but the reason why he has not been able to show his attitude is that Gu Qingfeng was born in the old family, and his requirements for the family's feelings and power are not enough to be the qualifications of the Xifu housewife, don't look at yourself to indulge Haoyue to create the "Flame" organization, that is because Haoyue's mind is completely towards herself, and the ultimate idea of "Flame" is to be loyal to herself, but you can't do it if you change to Gu Qingfeng, Seeing that Gu Qingfeng's thin figure was about to disappear, he couldn't help but stop her, "Qingfeng, the wind is rising, put the big coat on, the wind is very cold." β
The reminder has been made, it depends on how she chooses.
Gu Qingfeng's body trembled, then he turned around and said with a simple smile: "What Your Highness said is that I will put it on when I go down, arrange the transfer of troops, and send a letter to my brother, Su Qing complained to me for a long time that Shu'er has been clamoring to find me, just let my brother send her." β
Meng Yan smiled, Gu Qingfeng also smiled, they are all smart people, needless to say, the meaning is too clear, just let the meaning go, Gu Qingfeng's choice did not disappoint Meng Yan, this is the first time she has taken the initiative to write a letter to Gu's people since she entered Xifu, it seems that the entanglement in her heart has dissipated, and it is time to plan to give the girl a name.
Gu Qingfeng's good mood can't affect Gu Xifeng, who is far away in the stone pillar, he can't hold on to it in the past few days, the news from all directions is gathered together in a mess, Yang Bo has no action after arriving in Kaizhou, he can understand Yang Bo's caution, after all, Cao Li has been hit again, just arrived in Xudu and was killed by Chen Zhiqing to lose his armor and abandon his armor, and led seven thousand remnants back to Fuling, it is said that he is still lying on the bed and can't move, and he is now like a turtle in an urn Sandwiched by Chen Zhiqing and Gu Yanfeng, What's even more uncomfortable is that the two people didn't move at all after forming a pinch, but they were celebrating the New Year, and they had good things to give themselves ideas, and they took the opportunity to sneak attack, and they almost didn't have their noses crooked, but this person was also relieved, and after being appeased, he let him go back.
"Young master, there is someone on the other side who asks to see you." Gu Yun gently closed the door and whispered, after the defeat of Yuanjiang, Gu Yun, who had been acting as Gu Qingfeng's guard, walked to the front of the stage and became Gu Xifeng's deputy general.
"Wanzhou or Xudu?" Gu Xifeng frowned and said, in his heart, he hoped that this envoy would come from Xudu.
"It's Wanzhou, it's not ordinary, you might as well meet it in person." Gu Yun obviously had something to say.
Gu Xifeng's heart immediately swelled up with a bad feeling, to make Gu Yun like this, the person who came must be unusual, it must be Gu Sheng, Gu Sheng is the brother of Gu Yun's family, and only Gu Sheng coming over will make Gu Yun so embarrassed.
"Wait for them to come, be careful, the Night Guard's ears are not decorations."
It didn't take long for Gu Yun to bring three people dressed in Gu Xifeng's army over, and after Gu Yun respectfully sent the three of them in, he stood outside to guard.
Just when Gu Xifeng was wondering, the moment the person raised his head, Gu Xifeng opened his mouth wide, and shouted excitedly: "Brother..." β
"Nineteen, is this necessary?" Gu Yanfeng was actually apprehensive in his heart, Qingshuai originally planned to transfer Nie Huan over, but in order to prevent the situation in Dongchuan from eroding, he was the best candidate, Gu Xifeng had a good relationship with him, grew up together, studied together, and existed like brothers.
"Let's be straight, you don't dare to come to my army at this time to talk to me about family affairs, right?" Gu Xifeng's words were somewhat hateful, and the so-called closest person was the deepest hurt.
"I have to talk about family affairs, and I have to do business affairs, but I don't know which one Nineteen Lang wants to talk about first?" Gu Yanfeng knows Gu Xifeng too well, his hatred means that he still has affection, anger and impulse are his weakness, and it is obvious that the initiative of this meeting is biased towards himself.
"What family affairs are there between you and me, the Gu family is gone, but you are a thief! Have a good time! Hengshan Hou! Gu Xifeng's tone became more and more harsh, until he became hysterical, it was too uncomfortable, the thousand-year-old family collapsed in an instant, and the family was ruined.
"The head of the family is still alive, and Jiuniang is also alive."
A simple and bland sentence made Gu Xifeng collapse instantly, slumped on the chair, and muttered, "Are they still alive?" Still alive! He laughed and wept.
"The king of Jincheng County is not as hateful as you think, he sent someone to send the head of the family to Bihai City, for the safety of the head of the family, this matter has always been kept secret, but I and Jiuniang and a few key people in the West Mansion know about it." Gu Yanfeng saw Gu Xifeng's state and immediately put down all his worries.
"It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive," suddenly Gu Xifeng seemed to have discovered something, and immediately became alert, "My sister is still in Xifu?" β
"Jiu Niang is now the deputy head of the inner courtyard of the prince, and she is actually the deputy of Su Qing, the marquis of Mingjian, and she is deeply trusted by the prince."
"Impossible! You're scolding me! It's absolutely impossible for my sister to play for Montessori! β
"I don't have to lie to you, Jiu Niang has always been by the prince's side, and after the 'Thorn Moon Incident', she took over the management of the inner courtyard of the palace with one hand, even if Qing Shuai sees her, she has to be courteous for three points." Gu Yanfeng deliberately made Gu Qingfeng's position clear.
"How could Jiu Niang?" Gu Xifeng was struck, and an expression of disbelief filled his face.
"The family matter has been discussed, and then I will talk to you on behalf of Xifu." Gu Yanfeng struck while the iron was hot.
"Uh, oh, you say." Gu Xifeng was absent-minded and had not yet come out of his emotions.
"General Gu's current situation must be very clear to you, Yongxi's soldiers and horses did not have any rescue actions after leaving the customs and entering Sichuan, they don't trust you, you were helpless to take refuge in Yuan Changli that day, is it worth it to die for such a person?" Gu Yanfeng's words are sharp and to the point.
Gu Xifeng was silent, Gu Yanfeng's words and the situation of his family were intertwined in his mind, like a mess, without any idea, and he said forcefully: "The life of the county king is not easy, what are your conditions?" β
"Remain neutral, you can launch an attack on our Xifu when needed, until Your Highness writes to you, as for whether you will lead troops or become an official or follow the head of your family to Bihai City after the uprising, Your Highness will choose for yourself." Gu Yanfeng conveyed Meng Yan's meaning, but he didn't agree with it in his heart, he thought that Gu Xifeng's current uprising would hit Cao Li's confidence even more.
Gu Xifeng was stunned, he didn't understand Meng Yan's intentions at all, this condition seemed simple, but in fact, he was forcing himself to comply, no matter from the military or family point of view, it was impossible for him to continue to oppose Meng Yan, it was so ruthless, all the roads were blocked.
"What do you want to do in Xifu? Dongchuan isn't your ultimate goal, is it? Gu Xifeng's attitude eased, the facts have been decided, and the struggle is no different, it is better to make some plans for the future of himself and his sister.
Gu Yanfeng smiled with satisfaction, Gu Xifeng was very smart, he already had a choice, "His Royal Highness and Jiu Niang have already taken the Qiqi." β
Gu Xifeng looked at Gu Yanfeng in horror, and slowed down for a while before saying, "Xifu is so generous, you want to destroy the Zhu Mu clan?!" β
Gu Yanfeng shook his head and said with a smile: "The prince was named the king of Jincheng County, so he naturally has to work hard for his fiefdom. β
Gu Xifeng was stunnedΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
