Just as the Ministry of Rituals was rushing to supervise the wedding of the two princesses, another urgent report from the eight hundred miles from the border arrived.
The army of Xikun is 100,000, and the soldiers are under the two cities of Zhuguan and Weizhou!
The other party obviously came prepared, the food and grass were all in place, and the situation was at stake!
Both the government and the public were shocked. They never expected such news to come out at the time of the wedding. It was really unheard of.
"Xikun is a wolf with ambition. It's fake to send the princess to get married, but it's true to deceive us! The poison of a tiger does not eat its children, and Kundi gave up his own daughter to cover his eyes. It's really vicious!"
"Your Majesty, for the current plan, let Gu Houye quickly organize his troops and march to Zhuguan and Weizhou!"
Emperor Ning waved his hand, and the old god was there, "Don't worry, Marquis Gu has a long-term vision on this matter, and he has sent the third son to deploy the border guards, and there will be no danger for the time being."
What? Gu Huaijiang already knew that people from Xikun were going to come in
Reminiscent of before, Gu Huaijiang said that he could only tell Emperor Ning that there was a secret military situation, so it turned out to be this matter.
The courtiers breathed a sigh of relief, they knew that with Gu Huaijiang around, Xikun was nothing to worry about!
Some people couldn't help being curious, "Your Majesty, Lord Gu, may I ask how Lord Hou knew that the Xikun people were going to attack the border city?"
Gu Huaijiang replied truthfully, "The God of Medicine has a wonderful plan, but Xikun sent a concubine to marry the princess before. If this Marquis casually mentioned this matter, it would be suspected of provoking a war. In order not to leak the news, I concealed it from the courtiers. Please forgive me." .”
I see.
"Gu Houye is dedicated to Dongling Jiangshan Sheji, and I can't wait for it. Knowing that there is nothing wrong with it, you are really a hero, admiration!"
Yin Shuo stood on the ground expressionless.
He lost this round from the very beginning. Gu Huaijiang deliberately lured him to seize the military newspaper, and then took the opportunity to report the matter to Emperor Ning. Not only did he fail to bring him down, but he also helped him a lot.
What a Gu Huaijiang, as a warrior, his mentality is not inferior to those courtiers who exercise power, and he is really good at playing pig and tiger.
It's great, it couldn't be better.
Gu Huaijiang said sternly: "Your Majesty, since Xikun has already taken action, please lead the army immediately!"
"Okay, who will the deputy general take?"
Gu Huaijiang thought for a while, "Shu Bai and Jiu Ge."
He took Gu Shubai and Gu Jiuge away, Gu Hanmo was already at the border, and there were only a few young ones left in the mansion.
Emperor Ning was a little worried, since Gu Shubai almost died under Yin Yan's assassination, Gu Huaijiang has been very careful, for fear of accidents to the children.
He invested heavily this time, as if he intended to make Xikun suffer a disastrous defeat and make the border quiet for a few more years.
His heart was moved, and he nodded slowly, "Shu Bai is already a major general of the Gu family army, and I have passed on my will to designate Gu Jiuge as the fourth-rank Xiaoqi general, and Gu Hanmo as the fourth-rank Huwei general, and we will go to war immediately!"
Sealed two more at once
Gu Huai's status was extremely high and his ministers could not be sealed, so Emperor Ning bestowed all his favor on his children. A father and son with four people had official positions, plus a princess with a fief, which was unprecedented.
In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, no one dared to say no.
Some people looked at Du Yushi Ji Daogong, expecting him to stand up and say something so that Emperor Ning would not favor military generals too much.
Ji Daogong looked at his nose, nose and heart, as if he didn't hear or see anything.
He is old, but his eyes are very bright, and he knows who Emperor Ning should trust and whom he should show favor to in this court.
Gu Huaijiang stood up and said: "Your Majesty's grace, I have received it. It's just that they are still young at two years old and have not yet made military achievements. It is too much for them to be named a fourth-rank general. Please take it back!"
He said what some people wanted to say, but it made people feel ashamed. Gu Huaijiang didn't care about such awards at all.
Emperor Ning waved his sleeves, "It's no big deal. When you were twenty years old, you were a majestic young general galloping on the battlefield. When Shu Bai was twenty years old, you could already lead the army independently. Gu Hou's mansion is all good men, I can't let them be buried under the glory of my father and brother."
The implication is that the Sacred Heart has been decided.
Gu Huaijiang couldn't refuse anymore, "I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness on behalf of the dog. It's not too late. I will go to war tomorrow morning, and I will bid farewell to Your Majesty here first!"
"Farewell to Gu Hou, I will return in triumph."
The civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty bowed down, and Gu Huaijiang returned the salute with his hand bowed. Under the expectant eyes of everyone, he strode out of the golden palace.
The luggage had already been packed, Gu Shubai and Gu Jiuge were not nervous when they heard this, but were a little surprised.
They originally thought that Gu Huaijiang would leave at least one of them as a director in the mansion.
"Although we had prepared for this battle in advance, my father did not expect that Xikun would send as many as 100,000 soldiers in advance! Zhuguan and Weizhou were attacked one after another, and the opponent was fighting on two fronts. Maybe it will happen again? There are three fronts. The scale of this battle can be said to determine the situation between Xikun and Dongling, and you should all go and see it."
As a military man, he hates talking on paper the most, and he can learn the most on the battlefield.
What's more, the battle of the ancient times is rare in a hundred years.
Gu Huaijiang called everyone to the upper room, and gave many instructions before leaving, and everyone remembered them one by one.
Gu Wenqing said sensiblely: "Since my father wants to take the elder brother and the second elder brother with me, I will definitely take care of the general affairs of the house and take good care of my younger brothers and sisters. Father and elder brothers, please go with peace of mind and come back safely."
"You have always acted prudently, so you can rest assured as a father. Let Yu help you deal with the affairs of the mansion, and you also have a support."
Gu Xiang and Gu Yi stood beside and nodded. Hearing this sentence, they immediately realized that something was wrong.
"Father, Yufu is younger than us! Why do you let Yufu help fourth brother, how about us?"
Yu Fu was also a little surprised, she was used to stretching out her hands to eat and opening her mouth in Gu Hou's mansion, she never took care of business, "General, don't worry, although I don't know how, I can learn."
She thought that Gu Huaijiang couldn't find anyone to help Gu Wenqing, so she was considered, but Gu Shubai suddenly looked at her with a smile.

Yesterday, when I came home from get off work, I saw a young couple wearing junior high school uniforms downstairs in the community, holding hands in front of me.
Out of the kindness of someone who came here, I coughed lightly, "Little friend, can you let Auntie go over?"
