Outside the country, inside the barracks tent

"Your Majesty, Master"

"Your Majesty, Dad", Gu Yanting and Mo Chengbei just returned from the inspection, and returned to the boss's tent.

"You're here, come and see," the two men walked up and gathered around the table, looking at the map on it.

"Tell me, what do you think?"

"Look at this terrain, this Cangwolf Mountain is a shortcut to the Kirzi royal court, if you go from here, you can reduce the footsteps by a few days", Mo Zhiyuan nodded when he heard what Mo Chengbei said.

"Ting'er, what do you think?" , Gu Yanting carefully looked at the map and said.

"Judging from the map, it is indeed a shortcut to take Cangwolf Mountain, but I have observed the surrounding environment during the day, a radius of several miles, only this Cangwolf Mountain with a peak from afar, the horizontal stalk is in front, for Kirzi this mountain is an excellent place to defend, they will set up an ambush here, and the boundary will pose a great threat to our army."

"What do you see of us?"

"Walking around the mountains"

"Walking around the mountains?"

"Although it will take some time, the road is smooth, and it is better to march in large armies"

"But the march has always been a noble soldier and a fast soldier, choosing to go from Cangwolf Mountain, the time saved is the first opportunity, the army chooses to detour, which is consumed in terms of physical strength and food and grass, and it also leaves more time for Kirzi to prepare."

"From the day of the incident, Kirzi has been fully prepared, our army from the surprise attack is no longer possible, this is a tough battle around the mountain, although it will take a lot of time, but along the smooth road is more suitable for horses, transport grain and grass vehicles to move forward, and our army has enough food and grass, more than this day is not a big problem."

"Your Majesty, Dad, what do you think?"

"General, what do you think?"

"This Cangwolf Mountain is steep, there is only a narrow path to traverse, as Ting'er said it is an excellent place to defend, and it is indeed a better choice to walk around the mountain."

"Dad, you're in favor of the army marching around the mountains"

"At present, walking around the mountain is a more appropriate method, but it will take more time to travel around the mountain, and the supply of grain and grass will be even more important at that time, General Ling!"

"The Last Will Be"

"Grain and grass must be properly arranged"

"No"

"Tomorrow morning, set off and walk around the mountain"

"No".

In Prince Gu's Mansion, Old Prince Gu sat alone on the Taishi chair in the study, his body was tall and healthy, not at all like a person over sixty years old.

The light in the study was dim, and only the candlestick near the desk was lit, and the faint candlelight reflected on Old Prince Gu's face.

I saw that he closed his eyes, there was no trace of emotion on his face, and he sat in front of the desk with a steady breath, and the whole person looked calm.

The index finger of the left hand rotated the jade board on the thumb without hurry, the jade board had a delicate texture and soft luster, and it looked like something from the palace.

At the same time, in the palace of Changning Palace, Xia Ji was still sitting in the pavilion as usual, looking at the pear forest in front of her, with a silent expression.

Mo Niang also poured Xia Ji new hot tea as usual, put on clothes for her, and sat quietly by the side to accompany her.

"Mo Niang, has the side hall been tidied up?"

"It's already ready according to Niangniang's instructions", Xia Ji nodded.

"Mo Niang, what do you say that kid looks like now? The mourning family thought that she would be a beautiful woman", Xia Ji imagined the appearance of the child in her mouth, and showed a rare smile, and Mo Niang also smiled when she saw Xia Ji's appearance.

"I've heard the general mention this before."

"yes, what did he say?"

"The general said that the little lady is very similar to the eldest lady, as if carved out of a mold"

"Really? The mourning family guessed correctly, it must be a beautiful child, she was very cute when she was born, a pair of big eyes tickled around, and every time she saw me, she smiled very sweetly"

"Little Miss, like Niangniang and Eldest Miss, are beauty embryos"

"It's sweet for you", "I'm telling the truth", the master and servant looked at each other and smiled.

Offshore, inside the barracks

After several days of trekking, they have come to the foot of Cangwolf Mountain, ready to walk along the mountain, the military camp is heavily guarded, and patrolling soldiers can be seen everywhere.

"You know you're here?" , Gu Yanting saw Mo Chengbei coming over, and immediately put away the handkerchief in his hand.

"Why are you here again?"

"You, isn't it good for me to accompany you!"

"No need", Gu Yanting didn't want to pay attention to him, and lay down on the grass pile and closed his eyes to recuperate.

"You're better with horses than with men"

"They don't talk much"

"Less words? You can make them open their mouths", Gu Yanting, who was lying on the grass, opened his eyes and glanced at Mo Chengbei.

"Can't you be polite to me! Come and see you with good intentions" Mo Chengbei also jumped on the grass as he spoke, and lay down against Gu Yanting, Gu Yanting pushed him angrily and asked him to stay away from him.

Mo Chengbei didn't care, lying next to Gu Yanting, he said leisurely: "How long have we been out?"

"It seems like it's been almost two months, and time flies so fast!" , Mo Chengbei said with self-questioning.

The night sky of this grassland is particularly bright, the moon hangs in the sky like a mirror, and the silvery white moon spectrum sprinkles down, reflecting everything around as clear as day, and suddenly a piercing cry breaks the silence of the night.

"It's out of the water, put out the fire", Gu Yanting and Mo Chengbei sat up.

"Look!" , Mo Chengbei pointed not far away, only to see that fire everywhere.

"The granary is there," the two immediately jumped off the haystack and hurried towards the water.

When they arrived, Ling Xiaowei was already organizing soldiers to fight the fire and grab food, but at this time, the wind was fierce, and the water that was splashed on it immediately turned into smoke and drifted out.

"General Ling, what's going on? How can it catch fire? ”

"Hey, young general, this fire started suddenly, and my subordinates came to check that everything was okay half a moment ago."

"How can that catch fire?"

"The last general deserves death", Ling Yi was also very puzzled, he had obviously just checked it, but he didn't know why he suddenly caught such a big fire.

"Okay, now is not the time to pursue the cause, hurry up and put out the fire"

"I'll settle accounts with you later", Mo Chengbei glanced at Ling Yi angrily and went to fight the fire with Gu Yanting.

Inside the manager's tent

"What's going on?" Mo Zhiyuan was furious and asked everyone loudly.

"General, it's a dereliction of duty on the part of his subordinates"

"Dereliction of duty! It's a simple dereliction of duty, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first, you don't know, how important the grain and grass are during the march, don't you understand? ”

"The last general deserves death, and he is willing to be dealt with by military law"

"Is it useful to dispose of you?" , Mo Zhiyuan rose according to the case, and the whole person was furious.

"Ask the general to punish him", Ling Yi knew that he had made a big mistake, and knelt on the ground with a thud, begging Mo Zhiyuan to punish him.

"Okay, this commander will fulfill you, come here", the two soldiers came in from outside the tent.

"See the Great General"

"Ling Yi neglected his duties and dragged down the rod to punish eighty to set an example"

"No", the two of them responded and took Ling Yi down.

"General, the big war is coming, and punishing the generals at this time is afraid that it will make the army unstable, and the urgent thing to delay now is to deal with the burning of grain and grass, try to ensure that the march is not affected, and implore the general to withdraw his order and give General Ling a chance to atone for his crimes."

Gu Yanting deeply felt that the grain and grass were burned because it was something else, Ling Xiaowei had always acted carefully, and there would be no omissions.

"General, what Commander Gu said is extremely true, and I also ask the general to give General Ling a chance to atone for his crimes."

Mo Zhiyuan looked at them, and understood in his heart that what they said was not unreasonable, but now that the situation was ......, he couldn't help but glance at He Xiujue.

He Xiujue didn't have a better idea in his heart, Gu Yanting and what they said made sense, there really can't be any more damage at this time, He Xiujue nodded lightly.

Mo Zhiyuan comprehended, waved his hand, and said, "Stand down", "No", the two of them let go of Ling Yi and retreated.

"If the order goes down, the granary fire must not be leaked to the outside world, and those who violate the order will be beheaded."

"No"

"Ling Yi, today's punishment, this handsome will keep it for you"

"Xie, general, his subordinates will be guilty of the crime"

"What is the situation of grain and grass now?"

"Back to the general's words, the salvaged grain and grass can only support the army for less than two months"

"Less than two months!" , Mo Zhiyuan is very distressed, the use of this 100,000 army is a headache.
