Chapter 2 Expedition to Taiding

As Mu Beimo expected, after the urgent military situation of Taiding Pass reached Lidu, Nanwan's military generals were all silent, and only Gu Yunlie and Gu Yunyue, the two brothers and sisters, invited themselves to go on the expedition.

Emperor Jianzhao ordered the two to go out as soon as possible, and the Lieyue Army was well-trained, but they raised troops on the third day.

After the Lieyue army arrived at Taiding Pass, the guards of the pass went out of the pass for five miles to greet each other. Gu Yunlie looked at the leading general but frowned: "What about General Ji, why don't you see him?" ”

The person who came was the deputy general of Taiding Pass, surnamed Li, with a beard, and his speech was a little vague: "This matter is a long story, I will tell General Gu after we get to the pass." ”

After entering the customs, Vice General Li arranged a lot of singing and dancing at the reception banquet, and Gu Yunyue looked extremely bored and impatient.

After Gu Yunlie patiently watched the two groups of people dance, he finally couldn't help but speak: "General Li is very grateful, but it's still important to get down to business, let these dancing girls step down." ”

Vice General Li reluctantly waved his hand to signal the women to retreat: "What Gu Shuai said is that we have something important. ”

After he raised his glass of wine and smacked it twice, he hesitated to speak: "You probably don't know that this time the Xiling Army is attacking fiercely, we have lost several times, and even the main general, General Ji, was captured alive by Mu Beimo." He paused for a moment and continued: "Don't hide it from the generals, yesterday Mu Beimo sent someone to send a message, saying that if you want to save General Ji, let people go to the Xiling military camp to negotiate. ”

Gu Yunlie's heart was on fire, the Lord would have been captured for such a big thing, if he hadn't asked, this deputy general didn't even plan to say it, and even had the heart to watch the song and dance.

On the side, Qingyi, the general of the Lieyue Army, scolded directly: "What the hell is this, the master of the gate will be arrested, and the deputy general actually wants to watch the girls dance!" ”

Vice General Li was born with a black face and a big beard, but people couldn't see that he was blushing.

Gu Yunyue swept over with a glance, motioned for Qingyi to suppress his temper, and then turned his head to look at Vice General Li: "Negotiating such a big matter, Mu Beimo just sent someone to pass on a message?" ”

Vice General Li nodded: "Mu Beimo, this person doesn't play cards according to common sense, he really only asked someone to send a message, and threatened us that if we don't see anyone to negotiate within three days, we will kill General Ji, and then throw the body out." ”

Gu Yunlie patiently asked him, "Did you say anything else?" Like how many things does he want? ”

The black-faced man scratched his head, and then slapped his thigh: "Yes, yes, his conditions have been opened." We can't get enough of the things we want in the past two days, so we just need money. Let a general take 30,000 taels of silver to change the general. ”

Qi Yu, another lieutenant general of the Lieyue Army, listened for a long time and couldn't help but speak: "Thirty thousand taels?!" Why didn't he rob Mu Beimo! ”

Vice General Li looked calm: "Mu Beimo himself knows that we have no place to raise 30,000 taels of silver for him, this is just an excuse." Don't worry too much, we just arrived today, so let's rest early. ”

Gu Yunlie saw that this deputy general was not small, and he didn't want to talk to him more, and he was willing to go back to discuss the military situation with his own people, so he happily agreed and returned to the courtyard arranged for them.

Qi Yu leaned against the courtyard gate and listened to the footsteps of Vice General Li moving away, and gestured to the brothers in the courtyard.

The generals immediately stood around Gu Yunlie, waiting for the coach to analyze the form in front of him.

Qi Yu tentatively spoke: "Thirty thousand taels of silver!" It's not enough to sell Ji Zhuo, and who knows what will happen to our people in the past, don't Ji Zhuo not be rescued by then, and our people will get in. ”

Qingyi also acclaimed: "That's it, what Lao Qi said is right, let's just leave Ji Zhuo alone, anyway, it's not a great general." ”

Gu Yunyue shook her head: "Ji Zhuo is useless, he is also the chief general of Taiding Pass, if the Xiling people kill the main general of the pass in front of the defenders and the people in the pass, there is no need for us to fight this battle." ”

Gu Yunlie knocked on the table, listened to everyone's thoughts, and said after his thoughts were mature: "What Xiao Jiu said is right, Ji Zhuo must be saved, and it doesn't matter if the money is not ready." After all, Mu Beimo didn't know that we had just found out, and it was reasonable to say that the Lieyue Army had brought enough money. As long as the first few cars are loaded with silver, the back cars are loaded with our people. ”

Gu Yunyue immediately understood her brother's plan, and said, "We don't really want to negotiate, who knows what Mu Beimo's plans are." I will take people into his army, waiting for an opportunity to make trouble, and it is better to burn his grain and grass camp, and you can meet me outside. ”

Qi Yu nodded: "This is a good way, but the person who goes can't be you." The last time you pretended to be captured, you gave the kid a knife, and although you didn't kill him, he must have a grudge against you. ”

Gu Yunyue knew that Qi Yu was doing it for her own good, but she still retorted: "The person who goes must be me, not that I am reckless, it is because this thing is not quite right, I can't figure out why Ji Zhuo went to meet the enemy outside the gate." ”

Qi Yu didn't react: "The deputy general didn't say that Ji Zhuo was arrested outside the customs, what's the problem?" ”

Gu Yunyue looked at the people next to her except Gu Yunlie, whose faces looked confused, and explained in detail: "As soon as Mu Beimo called, Ji Zhuo quickly went to the court to ask for help. It shows that he knows very well that the Taiding Guan army is not Mu Beimo's opponent, so he should obediently stay in the pass and support us according to the dangerous terrain. But if he was arrested while guarding the pass, Taiding Pass would have been taken by Mu Beimo. ”

Saying this, Qi Yu reacted: "Taiding Pass is fine, which means that Ji Zhuo was arrested for fighting outside the pass, but he shouldn't go out at all." ”

Gu Yunlie was also quite suspicious of Ji Zhuo's capture, but no matter what the reason was, they would inevitably save Ji Zhuo tomorrow.

If it is not saved, the Taiding Guan army will inevitably have a dislike for the Lieyue army, and if the two armies are not harmonious, the people of Guanzhong will panic.

It is taboo for the army to be unstable, so even if they can see that there is fraud in this matter, they have to follow Mu Beimo's arrangement to save people.

Gu Yunyue obviously knew this, and continued to explain to Qi Yu: "It's not that I don't believe in my brothers, and I'm not reckless. But going to the Xiling military camp will inevitably cause an accident, I guess Mu Beimo will not give us a chance to fight immediately, my light skills are the best, so it should be me who goes. You are waiting for my signal outside the camp to create chaos for me to take advantage of. ”

Qi Yu had nothing to refute, he also understood that Gu Yunyue's statement was fine, so he turned his head to look at Gu Yunlie: "The marshal ordered, let's break through this level tomorrow." ”

By the time Gu Yunlie finished arranging all the matters for the second day, it was already late at night, and all the generals returned to their rooms to seize the time to rest.

After Gu Yunlie and the others left, he told Gu Yunyue and said, "I have arranged for people to pick you up outside the camp before and after Xiling, you just need to go in and rescue the people." Don't think about setting fire to the grain and grass camp or anything like that, we have a chance to fight Xiling, and we are not in a hurry tomorrow. The most important thing is that you come out safely. ”

Gu Yunyue is accustomed to her brother's almost mother-in-law's instructions, she has been in the army for so many years, although she has never lost a battle, and Gu Yunlie also believes in her skills very much, but whenever she needs to act alone, Gu Yunlie will tell her like this.

"I know, you don't have to worry about me, I know how to measure." Gu Yunyue agreed.
