The border pass is urgent, because Nanwan sent people to attack.

But the commander of Nanwan's army was not Gu Yunlie.

After Emperor Jianzhao and the Gu family's father and son agreed on the expedition, they stayed at Concubine Shen's place that night.

Concubine Shen is the biological mother of the third prince Su Muyu, who is quite favored by Emperor Jianzhao, and is the head of the concubines in the harem, second only to the queen, and has the right to associate the six palaces.

Concubine Shen saw that Emperor Jianzhao was displeased, twisted her waist, moved the lotus step lightly, and served Emperor Jianzhao a cup of tea: "Your Majesty has worked hard all day, let's rest." ”

After that, he knelt behind Emperor Jianzhao and rubbed his shoulders for him.

Emperor Jianzhao was very useful, closed his eyes and enjoyed it for a while, and patted Concubine Shen's hand: "Okay, okay, don't be tired of you." Just come and talk to me. ”

Concubine Shen obediently sat beside Emperor Jianzhao. There was silence in the hall for a moment, and Emperor Jianzhao sighed.

"Ai Concubine, I often think of Gu Yunyue these days. I used to think that she was too competitive and competitive, and I intended to sharpen her temperament, my daughter's family is going to marry after all, where can I dance with knives and guns all day long like her, and even learn from men to fight for fame. Emperor Jianzhao took a sip of tea, "She's good, she doesn't know my intentions, but even the kindness I gave her has been disappointed." ”

Concubine Shen heard Emperor Jianzhao talk about the Gu family and knew that it was a good opportunity: "What Your Majesty said is true." Mo said that His Majesty remembered, and the concubine also remembered Miss Gu Jiajiu, when the concubine saw her, she was still a little girl, following behind her brother and not daring to see anyone. But how could that timid girl at that time do such a thing! ”

Hearing Concubine Shen say this, Emperor Jianzhao also remembered that Gu Yunlie took the ten-year-old Gu Yunyue to the palace, and the young general made war exploits, but he didn't want to reward him, he only hoped that the saint could give his sister a military position, so that she could stay in the barracks.

If it weren't for Gu Yunlie's strong recommendation, saying that Gu Yunyue was a rare general, Emperor Jianzhao would not have allowed women to get official positions. It was Gu Yunlie's unremitting teaching that made Gu Yunyue a famous general.

If it weren't for Gu Yunlie, Gu Yunyue's defection to Xiling would not pose such a big threat to Nan Wan.

Thinking of this, Emperor Jianzhao hesitated to send Gu Yunlie to send troops.

Concubine Shen saw that Emperor Jianzhao was silent, and knew that what she had just said had an effect. At the beginning, Gu Yunlie's brother and sister were very affectionate, and it was a good story in the Nanwan Dynasty, saying that Gu Taishi taught his son well, and his eldest son had an extraordinary bearing, and he was also so concerned about his sister.

It's just that the original good story has become a thorn between the monarch and the minister. Regardless of whether Gu Yunlie knew it or not, his relationship with Gu Yunyue was there, and it was impossible for Emperor Jianzhao to reuse Gu Yunlie as before, especially in matters related to Xiling.

Emperor Jianzhao had a plan in his heart: "Ai Concubine, if one day I send Mu Yu out to lead the troops to fight, will you feel distressed?" ”

Concubine Shen only has one prince, Su Muyu, who grew up pampered, where is she willing to let him suffer on the battlefield.

But she knew that since Emperor Jianzhao asked like this, he was by no means casually mentioned.

"The concubine didn't dare to get involved in politics, but Mu Yu was not only the son of the concubine, but also the son of His Majesty. Naturally, he should share his worries for His Majesty, he is a seven-foot man, if he really goes to the battlefield one day, the concubine will not feel distressed, but will be proud of him. ”

Emperor Jianzhao took Concubine Shen in his arms: "You are still sensible." ”

Then he picked up Concubine Shen and put her into the inner tent.

Concubine Shen's palace people withdrew with a look in their eyes, leaving only the two emperors and concubines lingering on the bed.

On the morning of the second day, Emperor Jianzhao and his ministers said that they would send troops to Xiling to show the power of Nanwan Tianwei and deter the countries.

His Royal Highness's ministers agreed with each other, saying "Your Majesty Shengming".

Emperor Jianzhao said: "Since I want to raise the prestige of my Nanwan country, I am determined to let the third prince Su Muyu take command for me, leading 20,000 Protector Army and 30,000 Lieyue Army to go on the expedition, with Gu Yunlie as the deputy commander." ”

After saying that, Emperor Jianzhao looked at Gu Taishi, who was standing in the first row of Wenchen: "What does Taishi think?" ”

When Master Gu heard that Su Muyu was the commander-in-chief, he was stunned, and he didn't know why the good things he said yesterday suddenly changed.

Emperor Jianzhao's words seem to others to attach importance to the opinion of the prince, but the master Gu himself knows in his heart that if it is really Su Muyu as the commander, then the credit will naturally belong to the prince, and any mistake will be Gu Yunlie's. In this way, Mo said that this expedition will increase Gu Yunlie's military merits, and it is extremely difficult not to make mistakes. I have been planning for a long time, but the result is to make a wedding dress for others.

But if he feels that this arrangement is wrong, it proves that he did not persuade Emperor Jianzhao to send troops for the sake of Nan Wan, but for the sake of the Gu family's struggle for power and profit. Naturally, this is absolutely unacceptable.

Gu Taishi was in a dilemma, but he didn't dare to show hesitation, although he was at war with heaven and man in his heart, on the surface, he immediately went out of work, and said loudly: "My emperor Shengming, the ministers have no objections. ”

Emperor Jianzhao was satisfied, nodded, and discussed other court affairs, and after that, announced his retreat from the court.

After the third prince Su Muyu went down to the court, he didn't dare to delay for a moment and went to the Shen Mansion.

The master of the Shen family is the secretary of the second rank of the current dynasty, and he is the head of the six, although he is one grade lower than Gu Taishi, in fact, it is a trend of resistance in the court.

The housekeeper of the Shen Mansion did not dare to slack off and introduced the third prince into Shen Shangshu's study.

After retiring from the subordinates, Su Muyu did not hide his nervousness: "Ancestor, why don't you defend me in the palace today, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, how can I get it?" ”

Lord Shang Shu was very calm: "Why should the old minister stop it, this is a rare opportunity to increase his political achievements with His Royal Highness." ”

Su Muyu was puzzled, but looking at his grandfather's determined look, he also felt a lot more settled in his heart.

Shang Shu continued to persuade: "Your Highness thinks about it, then Gu Yunlie has been fighting for many years, and there is no need for His Highness to worry about the march. And His Royal Highness is the commander, he is the deputy marshal, he must follow His Highness's wishes in everything, otherwise it will be a great crime of disobeying military orders. ”

The words are happy locks, as soon as Su Muyu heard this, all the panic dissipated, and when he thought of Gu Yunlie's obedience to his words, he felt even happier.

"Your Highness is here, and you can even put Gu Yunlie to death."

Su Muyu was shocked: "What do you mean by this?" Please also tell my grandfather in detail. ”

Shen Shangshu lightly buckled the table: "Since it is to send troops to Xiling, His Highness only needs to find an opportunity to provoke Konoha to fight, so that his brother and sister can meet in front of the battle, and at that time, there will be more opportunities to cure Gu Yunlie for the crime of collaborating with the enemy." ”

Shen Shangshu's words greatly relieved Su Muyu, and even his steps became brisk when he left the Shen Mansion. He returned to his mansion and asked his subordinates to prepare things for him to go on the expedition.

Unlike his light-hearted pleasure, the Burning Moon Army was already about to quarrel.

Originally, 20,000 more Protectors would have caused a lot of trouble, and unlike the Burning Moon Army, the Protectors were mostly infantry.

The Burning Moon Army is all cavalry, and it is already known for its speed, and with 20,000 infantry, the marching speed has been greatly slowed down.

However, although this matter is troublesome, these people are experienced and can solve it.

What made them even more angry was that the coach was not Gu Yunlie, but Su Muyu.

There are clear grades in the army, even if Su Muyu doesn't know anything about the war, he is the commander, and the generals have to act according to his orders.

"His grandmother's, a son-in-law who grew up in Beijing, can be the commander of 50,000 people just because he is the emperor's son. What do you think of our brother, Lao Tzu will not obey him! Qingyi was impatient and jumped to scold his mother.

He saw that Gu Yunlie had no expression on his face, and he was even more angry: "I said boss, can you swallow this breath?" Who doesn't know that he Su Muyu and the boss don't deal with you, he uses his identity to suppress you on weekdays, and now that he is the coach, who knows how to bully our brothers! ”

Qi Yu saw that what he said was getting more and more outrageous, although Gu Yunlie didn't speak, he could see that he was already displeased, and covered Qingyi's mouth: "You rammer, hurry up and stop talking." I really dare to say anything. ”

Although he stopped Qingyi, he was actually dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to be as careless as Qingyi: "Dashuai, this matter really makes people angry." Originally, our brothers went to 30,000, so it would be more convenient and simple, so we had to add another 20,000 to drag us back. ”

Qingyi broke away from Qi Yu's hand at this time, and continued to scold, Gu Yunlie raised his hand and stopped him: "The holy will of this matter has been decided, even if you scold dry, you can't change it." It's better to think more about how this battle will be fought. ”

Speaking of fighting, Qi Yu came to his senses again, and he lowered his voice: "Dashuai, this time let's go to fight Xiling, do you think there is a chance to see the crescent moon?" ”

Qingyi was also excited, looking at Gu Yunlie with anticipation.

When Gu Yunlie heard Qi Yu's inquiry, his face sank: "Don't talk nonsense." ”

"You just pretend in front of the emperor and your father, and you don't have to hold it in front of our brothers." Qi Yu exposed Gu Yunlie's feigned anger, "Dashuai, don't talk about you, our brothers are also thinking about the crescent moon, and I don't know how that girl is going to be bullied these days." ”

"Xiao Jiu's temperament is now a noble status, and I think it will be more comfortable than living in Nanwan." Gu Yunlie whispered, not knowing whether he was answering Qi Yu or comforting himself.

"I hope I can't meet her this time, with the three princes by my side, it's not good to see her." Gu Yunlie looked at everyone in the audience again, "This time except for the war, you are not allowed to do anything else, the Third Highness is the commander, you must not be disrespected, you all understand?" ”

The deputy general looked at Gu Yunlie's serious face, and he didn't mean to joke, although he was reluctant, he still agreed in unison, "The last general understands." ”

Gu Yunlie originally wanted to avoid arguing with Su Muyu as much as possible, he was the commander of the Lieyue Army, if he didn't get along with Su Muyu, the Lieyue Army would not obey Su Muyu's orders. Discord in the army is a big taboo, for the sake of the stability of the army, he would rather suffer some of Su Muyu's anger.

But after only five days of going on the expedition, Gu Yunlie couldn't hold back his anger.

Under normal circumstances, the Lieyue Army can march fifty miles a day. Now that there are 20,000 infantry, Gu Yunlie and the others estimate that although it is slower, it is okay to travel 30 miles a day.

But he never thought that Su Muyu would grow up pampered, and he couldn't stand the bumps immediately, and after traveling thirty miles on the first day, he asked the army to slow down from the second day. For his own comfort, he could only march fifteen miles a day.

Gu Yunlie was anxious, an army of 50,000 people, how much grain and grass would be consumed in a day, and now that the marching speed is so slow, the consumption of grain and grass has doubled.

He didn't care about his plan not to have a dispute with Su Muyu, so he wanted to go to the main account to reason with him.

But he didn't expect to be stopped by the guards in front of the tent: "Gu Shuai is slow, His Highness said that no one is allowed to disturb him." ”

Gu Yunlie's heart was even more angry, and he screamed to let the guards retreat and enter the big tent by himself.

The scene in the tent made Gu Yunlie even more angry, the tent was full of the smell of wine, Su Muyu set up a table of wine banquet, and there were two beautiful maids waiting by his side.

"You are not allowed to drink alcohol in the army, let alone march with maids, Your Highness's move is too inappropriate!" Gu Yunlie tried his best to suppress his anger and questioned Su Muyu.

Su Muyu saw that someone had entered the account, and when he saw that it was Gu Yunlie, he was furious: "This commander said that no one else was allowed to come in, Gu Yunlie, you are disobeying military orders." ”

Gu Yunlie was not afraid at all: "Your Highness, the march is no better than you in the mountains and rivers." If it is for the comfort of His Highness, he will only travel fifteen miles a day, and the amount of grain and grass wasted is not a small amount. ”

Su Muyu's face turned red: "Gu Yunlie, I am the boss!" I have the final say on the speed of the march, and you deserve death for your nonsense to disturb the morale of the army. ”

shouted out of the tent with his throat in his voice: "Come on, tie up Gu Yunlie, and the commander will punish him with a cane and thirty strokes." ”
