"What do you mean?"

Since ancient times, if you want to have the upper hand, you have to take the lead, Gu Huai has obviously mastered some of the essence in it, these words are already a bit of a curse, if Gu Cheng is an ordinary young man, I am afraid that he will be angry and ask his soldiers to carry the knife.

But he still stopped the furious Zhang Bao, and his eyes froze: "Are you threatening the general?" ”

Seeing that Gu Cheng left without turning around, Gu Huai's expression became more calm: "Since it is about the little county lord, it must be entrusted by the metropolitan governor, and the two of you should also know that it is impossible to harm the little county lord in the next million, and the little county lord is in an absolutely safe place, please rest assured." ”

Gu Cheng played with the horsewhip in his hand: "Beiping Yanwang Mansion? ”

Gu Huai shook his head slightly: "No." ”

"Anyway, it's okay in Beiping... So what else do you do to Ben? Think your friendship with the Metropolitan will save your life? Gu Cheng leaned forward slightly, "Gu Huai, you are a prisoner of the imperial court, the kind of person who went to the temple to sacrifice the text, don't you know your own position on the sacrifice text?" Sending you up will be a great achievement. ”

This is a bit of a communiqué vendetta... Gu Huai wasn't sure if it was the letter from Ge Cheng's side, which made the court take him too seriously, or whether Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng had pushed themselves to a position where they shouldn't have been because of personal enmity.

Think about it, Jinling and his party are really going to provoke people, and the ones who provoke are the ones with the highest status, Fang Xiaoru's face stepped on the ground for himself, Huang Zicheng's son was also blocked in the restaurant by himself, and the only one who didn't provoke was the most low-key Qi Tai in the trio...

However, Gu Huai didn't know at this time that the one he offended the most was actually Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen, and he didn't know if he was angry with him for his incompetence and anger against King Yan.

Facing Gu Cheng's questioning, Gu Huai was silent for a moment: "Since I am so important, don't you two want to know what I am doing in Zhending City?" And how can you know the meaning of the two? Since the two of them were entrusted by the Metropolitan Governor, have you ever thought about the true meaning of the Metropolitan Governor? ”

Gu Cheng's face changed, and Gu Huai continued: "The two are generals who command the army, and the war is about intelligence, which must be clearer than below, now His Royal Highness King Yan's ears and eyes are everywhere, all the movements of the imperial army, and the controversy in Jinling City are all under the control of His Royal Highness King Yan, Geng Bingwen is quite old, even if he is a battalion step by step, how can he be the enemy of His Royal Highness King Yan?" ”

Gu Cheng glanced at him deeply: "Do you want to say that the imperial court will be defeated this time?" ”

"Exactly."

"Impossible!" Zhang Bao's face on the side turned red, "King Yan hurriedly raised his troops, before taking Beiping, there were only eight hundred guards, if everything is under control, how can it be in danger everywhere?" If it weren't for King Yan's good luck, there was no mistake, and he was already in a different place at this moment, how could he have ears and eyes everywhere, like a net from heaven and earth? ”

Gu Huai smiled: "In this way, the two generals don't believe that King Yan has already rebelled?" Isn't the action of the imperial court to ask King Yan for 'trumped-up' charges? ”

Zhang Bao was stunned, Gu Cheng snorted softly, who would dare to answer this?

This time it was Gu Huai's turn to lean forward slightly: "Yes, King Yan is indeed in a hurry, but what if there are only eight hundred guards?" It was not to defeat Beiping, take over the three guards and the imperial court garrison army, and the next day attack from all sides with a hastily integrated army, even Kejizhou, Zunhua, Miyun, Juyongguan and other important towns Xiongguan, but also with 8,000 cavalry to break Song Zhong's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, capture Song Zhong alive, all this still doesn't show that King Yan used soldiers like a god? With so many surrendered officials and generals, it still doesn't show what the people want? Such merits, no matter how much the imperial court tries to cover them up, will spread all over the world sooner or later. ”

"The two generals are both people who lead the troops, they should know how difficult it is, the two Jizhou guards, Ma Yi fought to the death, Mao Sui surrendered, the Zunhua Miyun guards surrendered without a fight, the Juyong Pass guards will retreat to Huailai, and give up the Xiongguan, Song Zhong tens of thousands of soldiers attacked the city, but they ended up running away in a hurry, and finally hid in the countryside toilet to hide, so many battles have come over, not to mention Geng Bingwen, who is only good at defending and not attacking?"

The words are like knives, but Zhang Bao is still a little unconvinced: "Most of the generals in the north are the old department of King Yan, so it's not surprising that they behave like this!" But the identity of the generals of the Northern Expedition is clear, how can this situation occur? With an army of 300,000, what will King Yan take? ”

"Yes, most of the generals who surrendered were indeed the old troops of King Yan, who were brought for the court in the past, but they were only controlled by King Yan during wartime. With so many soldiers, weren't they warriors who fought to the death in the face of Meng Yuan before? Why are they willing to join King Yan in martyrdom? The two generals still don't understand why? ”

Sharp mouth.

Gu Cheng sighed in his heart, but the expression on his face did not show the slightest, and he still smiled faintly: "Now the 300,000 troops led by the Marquis of Changxing are not soldiers who have fought under the hands of King Yan, and there will be no more such good things." ”

"Really?" Gu Huai smiled, "Is there really 300,000?" ”

Gu Cheng's face changed suddenly, the dispatch of soldiers is top-secret military intelligence, and even the generals who command the army can only get a glimpse of the movements of the imperial army, the only one who is clear is the main general Geng Bingwen, Gu Cheng is also the governor of the city, and only then does he know the real situation of the camp across the river... Looking at Gu Huai's tone, could it be that King Yan actually knew this?

He became serious: "There are your people in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies?" ”

Gu Huai's heart was relieved, and he knew that the deception was right: "So far, Gu Dudu still can't figure it out?" ”

He didn't allow Gu Cheng to think about it, and continued: "The soldiers are divided into north and south, but the hearts of the people are not divided into north and south, so many armies go north, such a solemn edict of rebellion, if it is defeated once, who can stop the soldiers of King Yan in the entire north of the Yellow River?" What's more, in the war, the person who commands the army is more important, how many generals in the court have the heart of King Yan, don't the two of them have a little guess? Hehe, Gu made a big fuss in Jinling City, returned north with King Yan, and even picked up the third son of King Yan, the two of them thought that if no one helped, could Gu do it himself? ”

Standing by the window, Mang's hand has been tucked in his wide sleeves, and his beautiful face is full of vigilance, but when he heard this, his eyes that had been falling tightly on Gu Cheng and the others couldn't help but be in a trance for a moment, and looked at the young scholar who was talking eloquently, she didn't expect that the words of the silent chief officer in the secret spy department in the past were so powerful, and on the other side was the senior general of the imperial court, the governor of Sanpin! was obviously in danger, but he completely grasped the initiative of the conversation, which caused Gu Cheng's faces to change several times... This lord is really not simple.

Gu Cheng pondered for a moment: "There are already people in the army who secretly voted for King Yan?" Could it be... Jiangyin waits for Wu Gao? ”

Zhang Bao's face changed greatly, this time the imperial court dispatched an army of 300,000, and there were three marquis masters of the unified army, and the main general was naturally Geng Bingwen, the marquis of Changxing, but there were also two marquis with him, An Luhou Wu Jie is unlikely to do anything irrational, but this Jiangyin Hou is indeed very likely to defect from the imperial court! Because his daughter is the princess of Xiang!

The princess of Hunan who set herself on fire!

Gu Huai's thoughts turned sharply, he really didn't know who this Jiang Yin Hou was, but looking at Gu Cheng's faces, he also knew that he had successfully led them out of the way, and he neither admitted nor denied it at the moment, but picked up a cup of cold tea.

This attitude made Gu Cheng think more, he stood up and wandered two steps, and the guess in his heart surfaced, making his whole body tremble a little.

"Could it be... Is it the Grand Duke? ”

This made Gu Huai unexpected, but thinking of something that would have happened, Gu Cheng's guess really came true, Gu Huai avoided answering: "The two generals don't be suspicious, in this rebellious army, there are many generals who are unhappy with King Yan, and there is more than one person who wants to throw in King Yan, just because they think longer than the two!" ”

Gu Cheng couldn't help it: "What long-term?" ”

"The feudal feudal system is a precedent of Taizu and a legacy of ancestral teaching! The new emperor has been on the throne for less than a year, and he has cut five kings in a row, how thin and cool! Not to mention the fate of the five kings, it is even more chilling! It's enough to cut the feudal domain, cut off the military power, and collect its fiefdom, but what His Majesty wants is to kill them all! Such a cold will is unheard of! But everything is not Your Majesty's fault, now that the court is in charge, Your Majesty is young, and it is naturally easy to be bewitched, so His Royal Highness King Yan has to be difficult, to stabilize the world's society, and to be a bright and bright man! ”

Gu Huai put down the teacup and said in a stern tone: "Now that the Mengyuan in Mobei has not been destroyed, the countries of the Western Regions are also eyeing the Central Plains, and there are groups of Japanese robbers on the border south of the Yangtze River!" If the literati are in charge, emphasizing literature and suppressing martial arts, dare to ask the two generals, what will my Ming become like! If Hu Lu re-enters the Central Plains, isn't what you are doing today helping to abuse? When the time comes, our Han people will be reduced to fourth-class people again, making cattle and horses for the Hu people, and being slaves and maids, and you will be sinners through the ages! ”

Gu Cheng's voice weakened: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty just wants to cut down the feudal domain and stabilize the society, and King Yan is only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, what can he do? ”

"Wrong, very wrong!" Gu Huai raised his voice a little, "Now the Ming Dynasty seems to be unified, peaceful and stable, but this return to the heart of the four seas has been smashed by His Majesty today!" In today's situation, the two of you still don't understand? Fang Huang and his ilk pointed to the court, how many civil officials gritted their teeth? How many military generals have left Germany? If it is not difficult to calm down, this Ming Dynasty will not be able to say that the mountains and rivers will be bright again! ”

Seeing the struggle on Gu Cheng's face, Gu Huai added the last sentence meaningfully: "Even the Grand Governor... Presumably because I understand this, I will work hard because I don't want to see this kind of scene, right? ”

Gu Cheng's hand that had been on the sword at his waist trembled, and finally slowly fell to his side...
