Gu Nan thought that after this period of time, she would be able to relax in the city for a while, but she didn't expect Cao Cao to find him before she stopped what she was doing.
Because Cao Cao and Tao Qian were watching each other, not many troops were sent to attack Yanzhou. After Zhang Liao and Chen Gong returned to Yanzhou, they summoned the remnants to defend and resist, so that the battle situation was not optimistic.
The route of Qingzhou soldiers and horses was to attack Jibei and Lu counties from Taishan County, and then take Dongping and Shanyang from the next city. And Xuzhou entered from Peiliang to attack Chenliu and Jiyin. In the end, the two sides will meet in Dongjun and take Puyang and Linqiu.
But until now, the soldiers and horses of the two sides have not made much progress, so Cao Cao is going to let Gu Nan be the military adviser, and the soldiers and horses of the other army will go to Yanzhou for support.
"Squeak."
The door was pushed open, and the light from outside entered the room, illuminating the people who came out of the room. It was still very early, probably just after dawn. Gu Nan was wearing an unlined garment, leaning on the door with his hand, looking into the yard.
In the courtyard, a sword was held in the hands of a girl. She stabbed, teased, picked, chopped, and struck. Every move was very experienced. It could be seen that she had been practicing for a long time. The figure in the courtyard was tumbling up and down, and the long sword moved with him, creating a wind of swords or a flash of sword light in the courtyard from time to time.
The sky is slightly bright, and the light under the trees in the courtyard is staggered by the branches and leaves.
Gu Nan smiled slightly, leaned against the door, and watched the girls in the yard practice swords. Let the light shine on her body, gradually warming up half of her body.
But after a while, the smile on her face paused, and she hadn't told Lingqi about her going to war again.
During this period of time, Japan should have stayed with her more, but unfortunately things didn't work out as expected.
Lingqi did not wear the same white clothes as Gu Nan today, but a green shirt. After she finished practicing the sword, she let out a sigh of relief and put the sword back into her waist.
Looking back, it was probably because she was too diligent in practicing the sword that she realized that Gu Nan was standing by the door looking at her.
Gu Nan didn't wear a bamboo hat. She was only wearing a single shirt. She just got up and didn't even fasten her belt. She looked loose, and she could even see half of her shoulders exposed outside.
With her hair loose and half hanging on her shoulders, she was leaning against the door, looking at herself and chuckling quietly.
Lingqi stared at it for a while, then hurriedly looked away.
"Master, it's still cold, you should wear more clothes."
"Huh?" Gu Nan looked down at himself in doubt, only to realize that he had forgotten.
"Nothing, master doesn't feel hot or cold."
Gu Nan smiled and waved his hand.
He tied the belt around his waist, his hair was scattered behind him, and he sat casually under the eaves.
Lingqi's face was slightly red, and she put her hand on the hilt of the sword, as if she was about to practice the sword again.
Swords danced again in the small courtyard. For some reason, the path of the sword became a little messy, perhaps because he was tired.
When Lingqi stopped, Gu Nan said aloud.
"Qi'er, there is something I want to tell you."
"Huh, please tell me, master." Lingqi put away her sword, but she still didn't dare to look at Gu Nan's side.
Panting slightly, he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
It is still a bit difficult for her to practice the sword twice in a row.
"In a few days, I will lead the troops to Yanzhou."
Gu Nan said.
In the small courtyard, Lingqi was silent for a while, and the breeze gently shook the hair on Gu Nan's side.
Lingqi pursed her lips, bowed down with the sword in her hand.
"Master, I want to go together."
After a while, Gu Nan asked gently: "Have you thought about it?"
"Thought it out."
"That's good, but this time, you can't join the battle, just stay by my side, understand?"
Looking carefully at the girl in front of her, she was already thirteen years old before she knew it, and she had grown a lot taller these years. In a few years, I probably won't be able to be called a girl anymore.
"yes."
She didn't want Qi'er to participate in the battle, but she also understood that this was Qi'er's own choice.
As for her not letting Lingqi join the battle, there are also her reasons. One is that Lingqi is not yet ready to join the battle, and the other is that there may be people she knows in the Yanzhou Army, and Gu Nan doesn't want to embarrass her.
······
When Gu Nan led the army to go out, the books she handed to Xun Yu and Kong Rong were almost read. After all, apart from Gewu, they also had a certain foundation in other calculations and calligraphy. It is nothing more than understanding the pronunciation of digital characters and pinyin.
If they still don't understand something, Gu Nan asked them to ask Cao Pi, after all, Cao Pi has been learning these things for a while.
Gu Nan still remembered the blue faces of the two of them wryly smiling. They were both very old. Asking them to ask a child was a bit embarrassing.
She couldn't remember how many times she had watched the scene of soldiers and horses marching off.
Turning her head to look at Lingqi beside her.
The girl's appearance in military uniform really resembles her appearance back then.
"Master, what's the matter?" Lingqi found that Gu Nan was looking at her and asked.
"It's nothing." Gu Nan smiled, with some complexity in his voice, and waved his hand.
"Qi'er has grown up..."
Get over the horse and walk in the army.
It was really similar, and it made her worry that this girl would follow in her footsteps.
"Qi'er."
"Ok?"
"Promise master one thing, some things, if you should let it go, let it go, you know?"
This time Lingqi didn't answer Gu Nan, and Gu Nan didn't speak anymore, because she couldn't let it go.
······
In the military horse, the time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was another year of spring and winter.
Originally, Yanzhou had a hard time defending, but now Qingzhou and Xuzhou sent more soldiers and horses, and finally they couldn't hold it anymore.
Until the end, Chen Gong and Zhang Liao retreated to Linqiu in Dongjun County, defended for another half a month under the siege of the two states, and were captured into the city.
Zhang Liao was captured, while Chen Gong drank the poisoned wine and poured it on the city wall.
Before he died, his mind was in a trance, as if he was really just drunk.
Maybe life is just a big drunk, sober up, that's all.
······
In the city of Linqiu, a group of soldiers can be seen coming and going on the street from time to time. One day ago, the gate of this city was just broken by soldiers from the two states.
"Tap Tat Tat." Scattered footsteps walked on the street, and the soldiers gradually walked away.
At the corner of the street, a person came out. It looked like a woman, but she was wearing thick clothes and she was a bit fat, holding a luggage.
The hair is coiled together, and a few strands are scattered in front of the face. Looking into the hair, there is still some plaster on the face. She buried her head in her way, so that people could not see her appearance clearly.
With the recent situation in the city, there are no pedestrians on the street except soldiers.
Rarely, another person came out from the other side of the street, wearing a white robe and a bamboo hat. Looking ordinary, it seems that he is just a passing alchemist.
