Hulaoguan!
"Dangdangdangdang...!"
The sound of Ming Jin withdrawing troops was heard outside Hulao Pass.
Hulao Pass is a huge city tower, sandwiched between two steep cliffs. At this moment, no matter above the city tower or outside Hulao Pass, there are corpses all over the place, countless rockets, and gunpowder smoke everywhere. On the edge of the city tower, a large number of ladders were all burned by the fire at this moment.
Gu Qin, with his white hair dyed, stood at the entrance of the city tower, overlooking a large number of Song soldiers who were withdrawing below.
Behind Gu Qin stood Chen Tianshan and Chen Liangyi.
"Hiss, it's dangerous. There was news some time ago that Gao Xianzhi's army was frightened by Gu Hai, and they stopped for rectification. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, it was a lie. He came faster than expected, and they are all elite soldiers. It wasn't because you were prepared, Hulao Pass was almost breached!" Chen Tianshan said with lingering fear on his face.
Chen Liangyi also nodded affirmatively: "Fortunately, you prepared kerosene, and burned their ladder with kerosene as soon as they came up. They can match our five little soldiers, this, this...!" Chen Liangyi also said with lingering fear.
Gu Qin didn't look at the two of them, but looked into the distance, and said softly: "You two, no matter when, don't let your mouth slip. Remember, I am Gu Hai now!"
At this moment, Gu Qin's hair has been dyed white, and there are a lot of wrinkles on his face. Although he doesn't look like Gu Hai, there are very few people who have seen Gu Hai. Even in these years, no one who has seen Gu Qin Many, and the appearance of Gu Qin has changed a lot now, it is difficult for ordinary people to recognize it. It is even more impossible for Gufu's cronies to dismantle it.
Chen Tianshan and Chen Liangyi looked at Gu Qin and nodded solemnly.
When Gu Hai arranged it, Chen Tianshan was reluctant for a while. Worried about an accident, but at this moment, there is no resentment. At least, Gu Hai expected the enemy to take the lead, and the attack that had just lasted for five hours was actually blocked. Let Gao Xianzhi return without success.
"I'll listen to you, do whatever you want, as long as you can stop Gao Xianzhi!" Chen Liangyi said firmly.
"Chen Xianshi, foster father wants to defeat Song State as quickly as possible, so you don't want to disclose the movements of foster father to prevent accidents." Gu Qin said solemnly.
Chen Tianshan nodded: "I will keep it a secret for you, but just now, in the attack on the city just now, 3,000 people died, and Gao Xianzhi only lost 3,000 people. This is just a small group of Gao Xianzhi's army, and his army is endless. How do you resist when they continue to gather at Hulao Pass?"
"Don't worry, I believe in foster father, foster father will tie them up soon!" Gu Qin said silently.
"Oh?"
"The one who broke through the barrier just now was Gao Xianzhi's vanguard general, the general named Lin Chong. He is brave and needs to be paid attention to. Let the artist draw his appearance and show it to all the soldiers on the wall. As long as they see This person comes up, immediately shoot with all his strength!" Gu Qin said in a deep voice.
"Okay!" Chen Liangyi responded—
Outside Hulao Pass.
In a large tent.
An elegant man in red clothes, about forty years old, is holding a cup of hot tea in his hand at this moment, looking carefully at a huge sand table. On the sand table, all the terrain outside Hulao Pass is described in detail.
There was a group of guards standing beside him, very quiet, no one dared to disturb this elegant man holding a teacup.
The man's face was handsome, with an indescribable heroism between his eyebrows, which made people feel refreshed just by looking at him.
After taking a sip of tea, he made gestures on the sand table with his hands.
"Report!"
Immediately, a majestic man covered in blood rushed into the big tent.
"Plop!"
The majestic man fell to his knees with a guilty expression on his face.
But the elegant man holding the teacup turned his back to him and continued to look at the sand table map.
"Commander, Lin Chong is incompetent and failed to attack Hulao Pass. The commander of Hulao Pass seemed to know that we were going in advance, and he had already prepared the fire oil. We suffered heavy casualties. Three thousand soldiers died unfortunately. There are two thousand injuries of varying severity, and the subordinates are incompetent, causing such a huge loss, please punish the commander!" The majestic man knelt down and pleaded guilty.
The marshal holding the teacup didn't turn around, and continued to look at the sand table map.
"Please be punished by the commander. The subordinates are incompetent and failed to attack the tower!" The majestic Lin Chong kowtowed again, pleading guilty.
"It's normal that you didn't attack the tower. If you can attack the tower, it's not normal!" The marshal holding the teacup said lightly.
"Ah?" Lin Chong looked at the handsome man blankly.
Destroy Marshal Chen, Gao Xianzhi!
Holding the teacup, Gao Xianzhi turned around slowly, looked at Lin Chong, and said with a slight smile, "I didn't expect you to conquer Hulao Pass at once! I just let the vanguard troops try the quality of Hulao Pass. You don't have to blame yourself. The defenders of the city are not something you can fight against!"
"Marshal, don't you blame me?" Lin Chong asked in surprise.
Gao Xianzhi took a sip of the tea in his hand, nodded and said, "I've already had someone scout out the terrain around Hulaoguan. As expected of Gu Hai, he was so impeccably prepared. Even the steep mountain pass, he was safe. It destroyed the cliff and cut off a dangerous road for us!"
"But, but our three thousand brothers...!" Lin Chong said with a grim expression.
"Well, if there is a war, there will naturally be casualties. This Gu Hai is different from everyone we have seen before. Don't underestimate him. You have to treat him as an extremely powerful opponent. Remember, he is more powerful than me. They are all strong!" Gao Xianzhi said in a deep voice.
"Ah? How is it possible, Marshal, I only obey you in Song Dynasty!" Lin Chong couldn't believe it.
"But in today's world, I only obey him!" Gao Xianzhi said in a deep voice.
"Ah? What?" Lin Chong asked in surprise.
"Although I obey him, I still want to defeat him, so you must be careful!" Gao Xianzhi said solemnly.
"yes!"
"It's hard to guard against the ancient sea's military use, and there are many outside moves that you can't find out. In the future, even if it's not on the battlefield, if something unusual happens, please notify me immediately!" Gao Xianzhi said in a deep voice.
"yes!"
"For another three days, it doesn't matter even if a group of people die. If they die, a group of people in Hulao Pass will also die. The group of inferior troops in Hulao Pass must feel strange when they see their comrades die. Days later, we will withdraw our troops, and in the future, when we attack with a large army, they will panic and die!" Gao Xianzhi said coldly after drinking the last sip of tea.
"yes!"-
Three days later.
Hulaoguan tower above.
"The troops have withdrawn, they have finally withdrawn!" Chen Liangyi's eyes were filled with tears at the moment.
"But we have lost 10,000 people in these three days!" Chen Tianshan said with an ugly expression.
There were only 100,000 inferior troops in total, and 10,000 died. What a terrible blow to morale, and the other party still had 700,000 to 800,000 troops pressing down on the border.
"Are you worried that there will be riots in the military camp?" Gu Qin smiled lightly.
"Will it be?" Chen Liangyi asked worriedly.
"Yes!" Gu Qin affirmed.
"what?"
"The father of Gao Xianzhi's psychological warfare, he knows it, how can my father not? Don't worry, leave it to me to operate, and use a different way to publicize. The ten thousand deaths will not only scare them into sheep, but will arouse them to be violent." Sex, let them regard death as home!" Gu Qin laughed.
"what?"-
Gao Xianzhi rode on a big black horse, and with ten thousand injuries, he slowly headed towards a huge city not far away.
Although Hulao Pass was not captured, Gao Xianzhi was already satisfied, because Gao Xianzhi had already planted a seed of fear in his heart for the rest of Hulao Pass.
Thousands of people died in Hulao Pass, maybe it can arouse their ferocity, but so what? In the future, when the 800,000 troops approach the city, the seeds of fear deep in my heart will quickly take root and germinate, and all the ferocity that has just been stored will be shattered at the fastest speed.
In front of you is the largest stronghold of an army of 800,000, and it is also the largest city in the old Chen Kingdom except for the capital.
At this moment, it has already been captured by myself, and using this as a base, it spreads its troops towards the cities in all directions.
"The commander-in-chief is back!" It was as if soldiers from afar came to greet him.
"In the shopping mall, are there any merchants who have misbehaved?" Gao Xianzhi asked.
"No, commander, don't worry, you have already let us monitor, not only the shopping mall, but also other cities, no merchant dares to mess around!" said the leader.
"En!" Gao Xianzhi nodded.
The army slowly stepped into the city. Heading towards a huge school yard in the center of the city. The school field is also a place where large armies gather, not counting the soldiers and horses going out to fight, there are at least 300,000 troops stationed here.
There is still some distance from the camp. Gao Xianzhi frowned suddenly, but it was the sound of firecrackers coming from the teaching field in the distance.
"Crackling!"
The firecrackers are non-stop, very noisy!
"What's going on?" Gao Xianzhi frowned slightly.
"Marshal, these are some rich merchants from the city of Song Dynasty, who came to comfort our army!" The young general said with a smile.
"What? A rich businessman?" Gao Xianzhi's expression changed.
For a moment, he thought of the richest man in the six countries, Gu Hai.
"drive!"
Gao Xianzhi twitched the horse's ass, and the black horse galloped away.
Soon came to the campus camp. At this moment, a group of people in brocade robes respectfully saluted a middle-aged man in a splendid robe.
"The prince is serious. I wait for the merchants to be incompetent. I can only express my feelings. It's really nothing. It's all my wishes. We are happy to see that Song Kingdom is growing stronger. Therefore, the Chamber of Commerce in our city decided to send Bring the materials for the army to use, so as not to be taken advantage of by the ancient sea of the Chen country!" The leading man in a rich brocade robe said very respectfully.
The middle-aged man in Chinese robes in front of him was the Crown Prince of the Song Dynasty. Standing in front of a group of wealthy businessmen, a flash of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
"The commander has returned to camp!" Suddenly a soldier shouted.
"Clatter!"
The soldiers, princes, wealthy businessmen, and handymen all around turned their heads.
But he saw Gao Xianzhi riding a big horse approaching in an instant.
Firecrackers blared not far away. Gao Xianzhi's eyes flashed coldness.
"I've seen the handsome man!" Prince Song said with a smile.
"Greetings, Commander!" A group of wealthy businessmen saluted slightly excitedly.
"What's going on?" Gao Xianzhi asked coldly.
"Oh, this is the Chamber of Commerce in Pengcheng, Song Dynasty. I heard that you ordered the supervision of granaries and medicine warehouses in the world to prevent Guhai from disrupting our business and cut off our needs. Therefore, the Pengcheng Chamber of Commerce spontaneously organized a large amount of food, Medicinal materials, do your best for the country and cooperate with our army!" Prince Song said with a smile.
"Oh?" Gao Xianzhi was slightly surprised.
After Gao Xianzhi heard that Gu Hai was leading the army, his first reaction was that Gu Hai used commerce to cut off resources, and he had already prepared himself. He didn't want the Chamber of Commerce in Pengcheng, Song Dynasty to be so conscious.
The richest merchant also smiled and said: "Congratulations, Commander, you sang all the way, and even killed King Chen. When I got the news, I was all heartbroken and sincerely convinced. That's why I brought some military supplies. On the one hand, I chatted with you. , on the other hand, bring our most sincere congratulations, and please allow the commander-in-chief!"
Gao Xianzhi stared at this group of wealthy businessmen with fixed eyebrows. With Gao Xianzhi's vigilance, he immediately guessed whether they were spies sent by Gu Hai and what kind of conspiracy they had. However, looking at the mountains of grain and medicinal materials not far away, Gao Xianzhi was a little dazed. It doesn't seem like it!
However, if you really came to congratulate and provide resources, there is no need to attack.
"Then I'll thank you all on behalf of the whole army! I'm a little tired after running all the way, so I won't entertain you!" Gao Xianzhi said.
"That's natural, that's natural!" A group of wealthy businessmen suddenly laughed.
"Marshal, go and rest, I'm here!" the prince laughed.
Gao Xianzhi nodded—
In the evening, Lin Chong walked into Gao Xianzhi's tent.
"Marshal, I have already checked, the food and medicinal materials are all the best! It seems that these wealthy businessmen have nothing to do with Gu Hai!"
"They are all the best?" Gao Xianzhi frowned slightly.
"Yes, these businessmen are too enthusiastic, and there will be a fireworks show later, congratulate us on this great victory!" Lin Chong laughed.
"Send me someone to keep an eye on these businessmen!" Gao Xianzhi said in a deep voice.
"Marshal, I heard they left early tomorrow morning, why...?"
"I always have a bad premonition, just keep an eye on it, in case of accidents!" Gao Xianzhi said in a deep voice.
"yes!"-
On the second day, Gao Xianzhi got up and washed up.
"Crackling!"
Outside the camp, there was another burst of firecrackers.
"Huh? Lin Chong!" Gao Xianzhi shouted coldly.
"Here!" Lin Chong quickly entered the big tent.
"Didn't it tell you to keep an eye on the rich businessman in Pengcheng? Something happened?" Gao Xianzhi said in a deep voice.
"No, they left early this morning, oh, but today, rich businessmen from Yuncheng came to reward the armed forces. Firecrackers were blown from outside the city to the camp in the city. They also brought a lot of medicinal materials and food. It seems It doesn't seem like a fake!" Lin Chong laughed.
"Wealthy businessman from Yuncheng?" Gao Xianzhi was at a loss.
"That's right, they are all food and medicinal materials, and they are all the best. We sent someone to look at them, haha, don't worry about Gu Hai being a hindrance now!" Lin Chong laughed.
Gao Xianzhi showed a hint of doubt—
Song Dynasty Capital, Song City. Tian Fu.
In front of Gu Hai is a game of Go, Gu Hai is playing chess with himself, and his adopted son Gu Han is standing beside him.
"Father, the Pengcheng Chamber of Commerce, the Yuncheng Chamber of Commerce, and the Huicheng Chamber of Commerce kept going to the mall and sent a large amount of food and medicinal materials according to your instructions. Under our instigation, the chambers of commerce are on their way one after another. What's the use of having so much food and medicinal materials?" Gu Han wondered.
Gu Hai dropped a white piece on the chessboard, and said with a slight smile: "Yes, what's the use? Gu Han, can't you think of it?"
Gu Han's expression changed: "Oh, I see, father-in-law, because Gao Xianzhi is on guard against us, they have already prepared enough food and medicinal materials, so the food and medicinal materials we send are useless at all. If the food and medical materials are scarce However, when there is enough food, it is useless to have more food. It can only be hoarded and left ashes, and people need to take care of it and carry it. Even, they are not as beneficial as money, which can Reward the three armies to boost morale, but food is not easy to reward, at least during the war, it can’t be rewarded, and if it is rewarded, this group of soldiers can’t take it away. Food and medicinal materials are like waste, but they can deceive people’s eyes and ears!”
"It's called 'full moon, loss'. If it's too much, it's not only useless, but also harmful!" Gu Hai said in a deep voice.
"Yes, the group of soldiers saw a large number of gifts arriving at the barracks, but they didn't benefit at all. There must be a little imbalance in their hearts." Gu Han said with a smile.
"What else?" Gu Hai asked again, dropping a sunspot.
Gu Han knew that Gu Hai was teaching him, and he was trying to analyze. After a while of silence, Gu Han's eyes suddenly lit up, and there was a flash of horror in his eyes.
"Firecrackers, fireworks?" Gu Han asked in surprise.
Gu Hai smiled slightly: "How do you say it?"
"There are 300,000 troops stationed in the mall, and the other 500,000 troops are divided into multiple routes, and they are constantly collecting cities from various places. The mall is the headquarters, and it is also a place to recuperate. Elite soldiers are constantly being sent out, while wounded soldiers are constantly being sent out. Transported back to the shopping mall, here to recuperate and heal injuries. Some people have broken arms and legs, and are covered in injuries. Naturally, they are extremely sad, physically disabled, and even have desperate thoughts about the future, but at this time, other people are singing and dancing , The firecrackers blared, and there was great celebration, and the wounded soldier’s heart would be greatly dissatisfied, this is adding salt to the wounded soldier’s wound!” Gu Han said.
"continue!"
"The fireworks at night may seem dazzling, but they seem to be a mockery of the wounded soldiers! A mockery of the future of the disabled! Coupled with the fact that a large amount of food and medicinal materials have not been distributed to everyone, this group of wounded soldiers will be even worse. If you feel unbalanced in your heart, why should others enjoy prosperity and victory while you can only get a hopeless future?" Gu Han said.
Gu Hai nodded: "Is there any more?"
Gu Han thought for a while before his expression changed.
"Father, you mean the people in the mall?" Gu Han asked in surprise.
Gu Hai stopped the chess pieces in his hand, nodded and said: "Yes, Gao Xianzhi killed 600,000 people, and these 600,000 people are the pillars of countless people's families. They are sons, husbands, and fathers. They are the spiritual pillars of each family. They died, and the people’s families have long been mourned. They are desperate and have no future. It’s just that they can’t resist these invaders. At this moment, these invaders are celebrating and laughing every day. , trying to assimilate them like a devil. Although they are forced to do nothing, they will only breed more and more hatred in their hearts!"
"One day, when this hatred gathers to its peak, it will be an extremely terrifying force?" Gu Han took a deep breath and said.
"Remember, no matter who you are, you can't resist the anger of the people's ocean. When the wave of anger sweeps in, it will be like the sky falling apart, unstoppable!" Gu Hai said in a deep voice.
"Hiss!" Gu Han gasped.
"Father, my child never thought that these little firecrackers and fireworks could hide such a dangerous effect, and they could actually attract people's hearts!"
"People's hearts are the strongest! Similarly, people's hearts are also the most fragile! Punishment is just the beginning!"
After finishing speaking, Gu Hai once again dropped a chess piece on the chessboard.
