You really can't blame Chen Duan for being narcissistic.

With an identity like him, at his level, it is difficult to impress him with ordinary little favors.

Horseshoes are different.

It's an artifact.

As the first fierce general under the command of the new emperor, Chen Duan not only helped the new emperor to seize the country, but also fought for the new emperor on the battlefield.

Chen Duan had dealt with the cavalry of the Northern Dynasty too many times.

The people of the Northern Dynasties were already good at riding and shooting, and the men and horses were fierce, and the cavalry came and went without a trace.

In recent years, the cavalry has become an "iron horseman" and has become more and more courageous.

In particular, the number of war horses is increasing day by day.

Sometimes, Chen Duan and other Southern Dynasty generals wondered: Where did they get so many horses?

Well, even if there is a grassland in the Northern Dynasties, there are plenty of horse farms.

However, it takes time for horses to be raised, grown, and trained.

War horses have normal wear and tear.

According to Chen Duan's previous experience, the war horses of the Northern Dynasties were abnormal in both quantity and quality.

The caravan (secret agent) sent to the Northern Dynasty sent back the news that the war horses of the Northern Dynasty were equipped with an artifact called "horseshoe".

This kind of artifact can greatly reduce the damage of the war horse.

It can also increase the combat effectiveness of the war horse!

Well, wearing "leather boots", you can be more arrogant.

"Horseshoe?"

only listened to its name, but could not see specific items, Chen Duan and other generals still had no concept at all.

The horseshoe really doesn't have much technical content, like a layer of window paper, which can be broken when stabbed.

But the problem is that Chen Duan is waiting for the light poke.

Now, Gu Tingcheng didn't need Chen Duan to do it himself, and personally delivered the horseshoe to him.

How could Chen Duan not be moved?

How can you not think too much?

"A-Qing, you, you-"

Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, Chen Duan's heart, which had already been sharpened by the battlefield and power, was as cold as steel, and was actually touched.

Perhaps, the more powerful and hard-hearted you are, the less likely you are to be impressed, and once you are moved, it is extraordinarily profound.

"Lord Wang, I heard that you were sent by the sage to Jiangling to defend against the enemy?"

Gu Qingcheng didn't seem to see Chen Duan's touch, her beautiful eyes were clear and her face was full of sincerity.

She is like an infatuated woman, and she only has her "fiancé" in her heart.

She cared about him, and she worked hard and planned for him.

Knowing that the "fiancé" was sent by the emperor of Jiankang to fight along the river, hoping that he would be safe and victorious, he took out the family secret - the horseshoe regardless of it.

She really did it with sincerity and her husband as God.

People are beautiful, the heart is sincere, and there is only their own reflection in the autumn pupils...... Really, it's not just Chen Duan, no man can stand it.

This is estimated to be the so-called "hero sad beauty pass".

It's not just the beauty that covets it, but the beauty has him in her heart!

"Time is a little rushed, and the craftsmen are ordered to work day and night, and they only get a thousand pairs of horseshoes."

"However, please rest assured, the prince will continue to let the craftsmen make it."

"Qing also brought the craftsmen and asked him to bring people and arm the prince's war horses."

"In addition, Qing also prepared some grain and grass."

Speaking of this, Gu Qingcheng looked at Chen Duan with a slightly distressed gaze.

She lowered her voice and said softly, "Jiankang's side, I have been afraid of the prince for a long time. Presumably, there will be no sufficient grain and grass for the prince. ”

"Qing built a farm in Lingnan, and also bought some from the local Li Bu and Huang families. A total of 10,000 koku! ”

10,000 stones?

It is enough for twenty or thirty thousand horses, and it is consumed for half a year.

Chen Duan is indeed short of food, but this is a "fierce general".

The so-called fierce generals do not mind "raising war with war".

Especially when the grain allocated by the imperial court was not sufficient and timely, Chen Duan could "collect grain" on the spot.

In ancient times, especially when wars were frequent, the boundaries between officials and bandits were really blurred.

Almost all of these fierce generals have had the experience of grabbing food in columns.

Of course, if there is enough food, it is still possible not to rob it.

Snatching food by arson is not a good reputation like killing prisoners.

Chen Duangui is the king of Liang, he has great ambitions, and his reputation is too stinky, which is not conducive to his great cause.

"The prince will take it all, and Qing will continue to think of a way."

"The prince only cares about the battle outside, and the logistics and other issues will be handed over to the Qing."

Gu Tingcheng raised his head, uh, there's no way, Chen Duan's guy is too tall.

She is not yet fifteen years old, and her body has not yet fully grown.

As for the height, it is only up to Chen Duan's shoulders.

With a difference of more than thirty centimeters, Gu Qingcheng could only tilt his head when he spoke.

However, from such an angle, it becomes more and more delicate that her small face and sincere eyes are sincere.

When she looked at Chen Duan, Chen Duan would have a feeling that she was her whole world.

To be adored, to be valued, to be focused, to be attached...... As an old widower in his twenties, Chen Duan inexplicably had the impulse and excitement of a hairy boy.

"Aqing, I understand your intentions for me!"

"Don't worry, I will live up to you."

Chen Duan was really moved by Gu Qing's "no return" dedication.

And people are "rebellious" in their bones.

The more people ask for nothing, the more they want to give it to her.

And, aside from being moved, Gu Qing is indeed the best "virtuous helper".

Chen Duan looked at Gu Qingcheng with burning eyes, and finally made up his mind, "In a few days, I will lead my troops to Jiangling." ”

"This time I sent troops, to say the least, it will take a year or two to come back."

"Guangcheng, I'll entrust it to Aqing."

Chen Duan looked like he was entrusting his family.

Gu Tingcheng did not pretend to be prevaricated.

She has successfully switched the identity of the "future housemother", and Guangcheng is not a trophy for her, but a responsibility!

She nodded solemnly, revealing a virtuous and virtuous virtue from the inside out, "Lord Wang, don't worry, the concubine will definitely guard the rear for you!" ”

Well, Gu Tingcheng's positioning is very clear - I don't want the dove to occupy the magpie's nest, I just help you look at the portal.

Guangcheng is still your King Liang's territory, and you are the king here.

As for me, I'm just a "virtuous helper" to help you watch your family.

At most, it is to install some low-level officials and pull the local wealthy families and giants to the Gu family's big ship......

Ahem, this is Gu Tingcheng's consistent strategy in Lingnan, from the bottom up, the countryside surrounds the city.

does not show the mountains and waters, does not win over high-level officials such as Thorn History, but can actually control the entire state and county!

"Good! I believe in you! ”

Chen Duan likes this feeling very much, the male protagonist is outside, and the female protagonist is inside.

He can rest assured that he will fight outside, and the rear will be guarded by a capable and virtuous master.

Don't worry about logistical supplies, don't worry about the nest being raided.

As for whether the Gu clan will take the opportunity to seize Guangcheng?

Chen Duan had doubts and hesitations.

However, every time I saw Gu Qingcheng's beautiful and clear eyes, as well as his unreserved dedication and true affection for himself, all doubts disappeared.

Moreover, he Chen Duan is not a soft egg that everyone calculates.

He has soldiers!

In the face of absolute force, all conspiracies and calculations are so ridiculous.

Even if Guangcheng or even the whole of Lingnan is lost, Chen Duan can take it back with his troops!

"It's just right, just take advantage of this opportunity to take a good look at whether this Gu clan is reliable!"

Chen Duan secretly calculated and left a thousand men in Guangcheng.

also sent his henchman deputy general to Gu Tingcheng as a "helper".

Gu Tingcheng: ...... Sure enough, it's an old fox, and it's not so easy to be attacked.

Don't be afraid, though!

Because Gu Tingcheng never thought about tricks.

As a government boss who has lived for two lifetimes, Gu Tingcheng understands people's hearts too well.

No matter what kind of conspiracy she has in her heart, she is sincere on the surface.

Gu Tingcheng really wanted to help Chen Duan, make his soldiers and horses strong, and make him a sharp sword in the Southern Dynasty.

Ahem, what, she has long regarded Chen Duan as her "own person", the stronger Chen Duan is, the faster and better she can achieve her goal with Gu Qingcheng.

Her various contributions to Chen Duan are also from "sincerity".

At most, Gu Qingcheng's sincerity is more than one!

……

After sending away Chen Duan's army, Gu Tingcheng began to settle in Guangcheng.

She did not take the name of Gu, but regarded herself as the "fiancée of King Liang" everywhere.

She's just a virtuous helper, she's just looking after King Liang's house.

The lieutenants and soldiers left behind by Chen Duan were all on guard at first, and regarded Gu Tingcheng as a vixen who used his beauty to charm his prince.

Gu's ambition in Lingnan is simply lice on a bald head.

As for Gu's daughter, she also looks capable and courageous.

Such a strong noble girl from a family would be willing to be a little woman?

She may not be hiding what kind of thoughts she is hiding.

Look at her!

They have to help the prince take care of her!

However, the law of true fragrance is always late.

Gu Tingcheng's "sincerity" is also an absolute nirvana.

Chen Duan is not here, but she is inseparable from the "prince" in everything.

Whether it was entertaining local wealthy families or going to the barracks to inspect, she also put the "prince" out first.

Even if it was the kind of move of paying for people's hearts by himself, Gu Tingcheng never took the initiative to mention half a word about himself.

She would tell everyone, "This is the king's reward!" ”

Eating the grain and grass that Gu Tingcheng gave, drinking the wine sent by Gu Tingcheng, and using the medicine sent by the medical center under Gu Tingcheng's name...... But he didn't take credit for seeing others.

Even the most determined lieutenant generals were also a little moved.

In the secret letter to King Liang, the deputy general praised Gu Qingcheng countless times.

And sincerely admired, "The prince is blessed to find a good wife." ”

Chen Duan: ...... Hum! You still need to say it!

Chen Duan led the army and drove for two months before arriving in Jiangling.

Then, he formed a confrontation with the invading Northern Dynasty soldiers and horses.

This kind of war of attrition is the most abrasive.

It is not only the consumption of troops, but also a great competition of financial resources such as grain, grass, and ordnance.

On the side of the imperial court, there is no supply at all.

Chen Jing: What are you kidding, I got Chen Duan away just to let him and the Northern Dynasties consume each other.

It would be even better if it could make it a lose-lose situation for both of them.

Grain and grass?

Ordnance?

Steed?

Pharmaceuticals?

No! None of them!

The imperial court did not give it, but Chen Duan's army did not fall into trouble.

Because their coach King Liang has an extremely reliable virtuous helper!

Batch after batch of logistical supplies were continuously transported from Guangcheng to Gangneung, in full and in time!
