Gu Huai was wearing civilian clothes, Shi Shiran walked into a small carriage and horse shop in Daning City, waited until the sun was up, and slowly walked out, looking at it, it seemed that he was really a businessman who came to talk about business.

After eating in a restaurant in the afternoon, Gu Huai went to the teahouse to drink tea, as if he was addicted to listening to the storytelling in the teahouse, and sat down for an afternoon, and when it was nearly evening, he packed dinner and went back to the inn to sleep, and the day was simply full.

It's just that this is bitter for the few Princess Ning cronies who followed him, there are too many people who have come into contact with Gu Huai this day, but no one is like the connector that the princess asked them to find, and this Gu Huai is not a messenger sent by King Yan? How can he be as chic as his mother's rich man.

The princess's order was very vague, but Gu Huai was sure to die, and several times when several people looked at each other, they couldn't help but want to go up and wipe the neck of the green-shirted scholar, but in the end, they honestly followed and ran in Daning City for a day.

The night was already deep, the north wind was howling, and the two figures were squatting on the roof, looking at Gu Huai who was sleeping on the kang through a piece of removed tiles, and only after confirming that the person on the kang had really fallen asleep did the two raise their heads and glance at each other suspiciously.

Why is this guy so big? Offended the princess and still sleep?

And from the angle they couldn't see, Gu Huai on the bed had already opened his eyes, and there was not the slightest sleepiness in those eyes.

The tracking and anti-tracking skills that I asked for advice from those spies in the secret spy department before still came in handy, and at the end of this day, I can basically be sure that many people are staring at me.

Combined with the soldiers who were obviously wearing military uniforms of officers and soldiers, but obeyed Princess Ning's words, it is not difficult to think that these people should have been sent by Princess Ning Shaning.

It still doesn't seem to have fooled around...

With the current relationship between the Ning Wangfu and the government, Shaning will not bring officers and soldiers to play with him, so those people and the people who are following him now should be the same people, even if Shaning is not the princess, she is also the sister of the Taining Weitou, it is normal to have so many cronies.

It seems that they want to find out their nonsense and send them to the sky with themselves, but they don't know that the so-called "companion" was actually on the other side of the earthen wall before.

So they probably can't find it, and now the key question is, how much did Shaning believe what he said? How long will her patience last?

After all, she doesn't look too smart... If you really want to, you can't stop it.

Looks like we'll have to wait like this... If you want to break the game, it is never an overnight thing.

The night wind was howling, and Gu Huai tried not to think about the people outside who might be watching his every move, and slowly closed his eyes.

The night is still long.

……

"Report! His Royal Highness, the southern generals Wu Gao and Geng Xian led a large army to attack Yongping, and the defenders of Yongping suffered heavy casualties, and had retreated into the city, sending a letter asking for help! ”

On the city wall of Beiping City, Zhu Di, the king of Yan in military uniform, was inspecting the city head with Princess Yan, and a military post man with a small flag on his back ran up breathlessly, bringing this news like five thunderbolts.

Zhu Di really changed color when he heard this, these days there is constantly military intelligence sent from the south, Li Jinglong is recovering the northern army and giving up the city faster and faster, almost leading the army to go straight to the city of Beiping, so Zhu Di is mentally prepared for the unfavorable news in the south, but he really didn't expect that something happened to Yongping in the east!

After all, it is the benchmark for the whole government to be attached to the army in the early days, if you don't care about Yongping, Zhu Di's reputation in the future can be imagined, and he hurriedly said: "Has Yongping ever been lost?" ”

The postman shook his head: "The enemy army has besieged the city, and the grain and grass in the city... Insufficient! ”

"Once Yongping is lost, Li Jiujiang's (Li Jinglong's) army can calmly and directly drive Beiping, and the defense lines I laid in the south of Beiping will all be in vain! Li Jiujiang's use of troops is also quite methodical, if he really allows him to seize Yongping, he will send troops to Beiping in the evening! No, I'm going to have to leave right now! ”

Princess Yan said worriedly: "The prince wants to go to Yongping first?" If Yongping has been lost, won't the prince want to attack the city? ”

Another person also objected: "Father, the three-way army is besieging Yongping, if you want to attack it, it is not a day's work, if Li Jinglong deliberately does this, uses a trick to induce his father to go, drags his father under Yongping City, and sends elite soldiers to cut off his father's back road, and traps his father in a desperate situation, how can it be good?" Why don't you send a powerful general and lead a large army to recapture Beiping? ”

After all, he is his own son, and he must know more than outsiders, what Zhu Di has really been pondering for a while, these generals who accompanied him to inspect the city wall don't know, but Zhu Gaochi knows.

He wiped the beads of sweat from his fat face and said seriously: "Father, there are priorities, don't mess with yourself." ”

Such a son has never pointed fingers at such military decisions, what is wrong with this today?

Zhu Di pondered for a moment, thinking of Gu Huai, who was far away from the gate.

It seems that this son's confidence in Gu Huai seems to be higher than his own...

He hesitated a little: "But if you send a general over, even if you can hold Beiping, one will be protracted, and the other will suffer heavy casualties, if I personally lead the army over, maybe we can lift the siege as soon as possible, even if Li Jiujiang reacts quickly, it is too late to surround me, his only wise choice is to speed up and rush to Beiping, and forcibly attack the city while I am outside." ”

Zhu Di stood still, leaned on the city wall, and looked at the people below who were like ants: "So I want someone to defend this Beiping, no matter how Li Jiujiang fights, I must hold on until I come back, and hold on until I come... Bring back reinforcements. ”

"Gu Huai went to the outside of the Guan, you all know, whether you can ask for reinforcements, I can't be sure, there is Geng Bingwen's 130,000 army in the front, and Li Jiujiang's 500,000 Beijing camp in the back, my seventeenth brother was immobile before, and now he will join the war happily? I don't have faith! So I still have to fight Yongping, not only to fight, but also to fight majestic! ”

Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, Zhang Xin, Gu Cheng and other generals were enthusiastic when they heard this, glanced at each other, and stepped forward to arch their hands: "Your Highness is mighty!" ”

The Daoyan monk on the side also nodded with a smile, his monk saw people's hearts and humanity far more thoroughly than ordinary people, and at this time he had already understood what Zhu Di was thinking, he smiled softly like a living Buddha: "Lao Gao understands His Highness's intentions, this Beiping, just leave it to the prince and Lao Ke." ”

The generals turned back in astonishment, this matter of defending the city actually did not fall on their heads, but on the son?

But Zhu Di was not surprised by this, he just looked at his son, the son who had always had some lingering disgust, but trusted deeply at this moment.

He knew the heart of this son, and he also knew that he was very smart, so he did not refuse this proposal.

He just solemnly told Zhu Gaochi: "I will hand over the city to you, you must defend it!" The day I return this time will be the time of total victory! ”

It was the first time for Zhu Gaochi, who was disabled, to see his father talking to him in such a serious tone, and he vaguely felt that a severe test was coming.

That's right, it was the siege of an army of 500,000, and it was a desperate blow to Zhu Di who was fighting hard to fight against him, and this battle will not only determine Zhu Di's fate, but also affect his future life.

And even more... and even the current situation of the whole world.

He bowed his head slightly, and a hint of resoluteness flashed on his chubby face: "Father... Feel relieved! ”
