The weather is getting colder and colder, although the snow has not yet fallen, but the cold wind blowing on his face can already bring a tingling sensation, the white mist brought out by Gu Huai's breath slowly dissipated in the air, he tightened the cloak on his body, and hurriedly walked into King Ning's mansion.

Today is a big day, if nothing else, the army will leave Daning, after such a long delay, the news from Beiping keeps coming, not only Zhu Di, as long as the family is still in Beiping City, the soldiers are already impatiently ready to go back to rescue.

At this time, on the battlefield outside the city, it should be a gathering of troops? Yesterday, Zhu Di asked Gu Huai if he wanted to lead an army alone, but Gu Huai, who was deeply self-aware, decisively refused, although he has been studying these days, but now he is still a half-when it comes to fighting, and if he really leads an army alone, he is not responsible for the lives of his corporals, and the bloody battlefield in Beiping cannot tolerate a single mistake.

He has a clear understanding of himself, through some knowledge of future people, as well as the convenience of knowing the trend of history in advance, it is not a big deal to play some clever things to check and fill in the gaps, but the most important thing for people is not to force things beyond their own ability, in this regard, he is much better than Li Jinglong.

Compared with the last time I entered the Ning Palace, this time I walked in and could clearly feel that even the air was filled with a depressed atmosphere, and I thought about it, although the food and clothing were not cut, Zhu Di still sent a lot of people outside to watch Zhu Quan's every move, and the dignified King Ning is now so claustrophobic and has become a prisoner trapped in the palace in his own domain, and he can only be angry at his subordinates every day, no wonder the whole palace is filled with a smell of mourning and death.

It's just that Gu Huai didn't come to see Zhu Quan this time, it was Princess Ning Shaning who asked him to come over.

It stands to reason that Daning's affairs have come to an end, Gu Huai and Ning Wangfu have almost become passers-by, and Shaning's temperament, Gu Huai really doesn't want to deal with her, but Shaning seems to have expected this, and made it clear when he asked the spy of the secret spy department to speak, if you can't see the chief of the secret spy department today, don't blame her for telling some news that everyone is going to die together.

Well, don't think about it, Shaning's temper can really do the kind of thing that pulls herself to blow herself up... When he first entered the hut, someone watched, saying that nothing happened, who would believe it, how big a face he had made a princess abandon her name to pull him into the water.

It was still the side hall where the guests were visited, and even the position of the candle flame had not changed, and the warm breath came to his face, Gu Huai took off his cloak and saw Sha Ning sitting on the main seat at a glance.

Of course, he is a lot haggard, and he doesn't wear makeup like before, and his natural beauty is not only not hidden, but more and more like a porcelain doll.

"I've seen the princess."

"Coming?" Shanin put down the teacup and said in a light tone, "I thought you wouldn't come." ”

"The princess said that..."Gu Huai straightened up, "I have to come." ”

Shaning held her chin, her uncoiled hair scattered on both sides of her cheeks, and she mischievously burrowed into her somewhat loose collar: "I thought you didn't care, people like you, when you get what you want, don't you like to abandon people like a piece of?" ”

"There is ambiguity in this, Niangniang, you can't talk nonsense," Gu Huai frowned, "What is Niangniang looking for me?" ”

Sha Ning looked into his eyes: "I heard from someone that Daning Wei and the three guards have all fallen into your hands, and you have also beaten down Songting Pass?" ”

Gu Huai took a deep breath, walked to the side and sat down: "Liu Dudu abandoned the secret and surrendered to the light, most of the generals of the Daning Weisan guard defected, and the natural soldiers accepted it bloodlessly, Liu Dudu was originally the guard of Songting Pass, and when he saw Liu Zi Daqi, he directly opened the gate, and he didn't need to fight at all." ”

"King Yan took 50,000 people out of Beiping, Daning Dusi totaled more than 70,000 people, and Duoyan Sanwei Jing rode south for 15,000, so King Yan's troops have nearly 150,000?"

Gu Huai nodded: "It's almost three times as long as when I came out of the pass, in addition to the battle of Yongping, there are also casualties during the siege of Daning, plus the soldiers from Guanwai who surrendered all the way after the return of Songting Pass, and now there are indeed so many troops." ”

"That's right," Shanin raised an eyebrow, "So, it's really worth a fight... I know all the things you did, you have made such a great contribution, what did King Yan reward you? Why don't you even have an official position, and you won't even be allowed to lead the army? ”

Gu Huai smiled: "The credit is not all mine, and there is no point in burying such a thorn... What else does the mother want to do? ”

Seeing that Gu Huai didn't eat oil and salt, Shaning bit her lip, and her haggard look made me feel a little pitiful: "On such a secluded day, the prince he... King Yan trusts you so much, can you..."

"No," Gu Huai lowered his eyes, "What happened in the palace that day, Niangniang won't forget it, right?" In fact, it doesn't matter if His Royal Highness King Ning is not there, the prince is just grounded, and he has already given in. ”

"Concessions? took the army, captured Daning, and imprisoned people in the palace, and from then on can only be a signboard, this is called concession? Shaning stood up suddenly, his face distorted, "And my brother also died at your hands and him!" ”

"Finally can't help it?"

"Yes! I want you to die! ”

"I thought you could figure out the truth of this, those who kill people will always kill them, what is there to say? Don't you understand the cruelty of power struggles? It's already been a poor dagger, and everyone still wants to sit down around a table for a meal and be harmonious? ”

Gu Huai stood up: "What a boring conversation... The battlefield outside the city is already ordering, the three guards of King Yan, the three guards of King Ning, and the three guards of Daning will be reorganized from today, and there will only be the Yan army in the future, and everyone including me will leave Daning, if nothing else, the princess will not see me for a long time, please don't threaten me with those nonsense reasons, don't forget that you are a woman after all, princess, please respect yourself! ”

Dead weight? Gu Huai called her self-respect? Thinking back to the scene of that day, remembering her naked appearance of stripping off all her clothes in front of this man, and remembering the humiliation that this man had made to herself, her body trembled with anger: "Gu Huai! I hate you! I will pray day and night in this palace that you will not die well! ”

Gu Huai stopped, suddenly turned around and walked towards Shaning, the footsteps echoed in the hall, his figure continued to enlarge in Shaning's pupils, and when he occupied the entire field of vision, Shaning finally couldn't help but take a step back and sat down on the chair.

How can it be? How could she be afraid of this man?

Gu Huaiwei leaned over and spoke softly, as if the devil was whispering:

"Be honest, don't forget the people you love... And one more alive. ”

Shanning's pupils dilated suddenly.

……

Coming out of the palace, Gu Huai didn't go to the battlefield outside the city, although he also wanted to see the scene of Daning Lijun, but there were still some things to do at the moment.

The streets are depressed, the shops are closed, the world is chaotic, people are always disturbed, and the weather is getting colder, and even fewer people are willing to go out, and the economic impact of the war will be a big problem before the end of the year, and I don't know how many people will not have enough to eat, and I don't know how many harmonious families will be displaced.

Walking into the branch of the secret spy division in Daning, a figure greeted her, it was a mangzhong who went to Duoyan Sanwei to overcomplete the task, I don't know why she has been sticking to Gu Huai's side since she returned to Daning, and the chill caused by the inexplicable gaze returned to Gu Huai's life.

The female spy put on black clothes again, her figure was still beautiful, and she didn't hide her face under the black cloth anymore, she handed over a piece of rice paper: "My lord, the news from outside the city has arrived." ”

The moment he took the rice paper, Mangzhong's fingers gently crossed Gu Huai's palm, stroked the palm prints, and finally left his fingers as if he was still a little reluctant, Gu Huai frowned, and quickly withdrew his hand as an accidental physical contact: "What about Wei Laosan?" ”

"I've gone to see Lijun, that kind of rough man, what else can I do?"

Gu Huai didn't take this stubble, looked down at the military report, the reorganization of the nearly 150,000 army is not something that can be done in a day and a night, this matter has been busy for several days, Gu Huai has not participated in it, so he is also a little curious about how Zhu Di will recompile.

The military newspaper clearly wrote that the original three armies of Yanwang on the left, center and right have now been set up into five armies: center, left, right, front and rear, with one chief general and two deputy generals in each army.

The Chinese army is naturally based on the previous 50,000 troops, with Zhang Yu as the main general and Li Xiang and He Shou as the deputies; The right army is 30,000 horses, with Zhu Neng as the main general and Li Jun and Zhu Rong as the deputies; The left army is also 30,000 horses, with three generals, Zhang Xin, Tan Yuan, and Li Bin; Gu Cheng commanded the front army, which was basically the elite cavalry in the original Yan army, plus the 15,000 elite cavalry of Duoyan Sanwei and the leaders of Fuyuwei and Duoyanwei, forming a terrifying 20,000 cavalry army, and the rear army was led by Fang Kuan, with He Yongzhong and Mao Cheng as deputies.

And a veteran like Liu Zhen, who is resourceful, has a high status, and is also quite old, is staying in the Chinese army, which is not worrying about them, but when the coach Zhu Di is in command of the Chinese army, he also needs someone to discuss the military situation, and a veteran like Liu Zhen is very suitable.

In this way, the five armies of the Yan army have become a type, the most rare thing is that a large number of cavalry has been added to the composition of the troops, and it is a well-trained and highly effective Duoyan Sanwei cavalry, in front of the two armies, the large group army fights, there is such a sharp and incomparable elite iron cavalry straight to the enemy formation, breaking the enemy line, has an unusually important reuse.

Moreover, the newly joined Daning Wei and Ning Wang's three guards are also elite soldiers outside the Guan, and they are not inferior to the original Yan Wang San's guards, and the combat strength of more than 100,000 foot soldiers is better than that of the Southern Army.

In any case, the reorganization of the three armies has taken on a new look, coupled with Zhu Di's great achievements in many years of war, it is natural that the morale of this army has soared.

I finally have the strength to fight...

Gu Huai showed a tired and relieved smile on his face, which made the eyes of Mang Chong on the side condense, he put down the military report, this excitement and joy did not last long, and was suppressed by another thing.

He looked at Mangzhong and said in a solemn tone:

"Tell me about the grassland."
