"The Xikun Army extends along the Weizhou and Zhuguan lines and extends north to the Qinling Mountains. The general's judgment is correct. They want to fight on multiple lines."
A border map was hung in the military tent, and military flags with the word Gu, which roamed the dragon and the phoenix, were hung on the walls on both sides.
Holding a long sword, Gu Huaijiang moved from Weizhou to Zhuguan, all the way north, and the situation of each city emerged in his mind. The population, the food and grass, the army...
After so many years of marching and fighting, these situations are familiar to him, and he has a bottom in his heart. "The odds of victory for the Xikun army in this battle are the sudden surprises and the number advantage. First, we have been prepared to deal with it properly. As for the second. As the defender of the city, we have a small number of people and a slight disadvantage, which does not hinder the entire battle."
Everyone nodded and said yes, "According to the current situation, there is nothing unusual about this battle except for the cities and soldiers involved."
Lao Jin slapped the table, "Yes! We haven't fought many dangerous battles with the general? What is this, hahaha!"
Gu Huaijiang didn't speak, his eyes patrolled over and over several cities on the border.
Gu Shubai and Gu Jiuge stood aside in battle armor, disagreeing with Lao Jin's point of view.
Before setting off, Gu Huaijiang told them that this is a battle through the ages and it is hard to see in a hundred years. How could it be that simple
"Everyone."
Gu Huaijiang turned around, and everyone's laughter stopped abruptly, waiting for his instruction.
His gaze flashed across everyone, "You have been passively beaten for so many years, so as long as you can force the Xikun army to retreat, you will be satisfied, right?"
The smile faded from everyone's face and the words passively being beaten were what a shame to a soldier.
But Gu Huaijiang was right. They had been passively beaten. When Xikun entered the border of Dongling, driving them out of the border was a victory!
Lao Jin said: "But the general said that we Dongling is a state of ceremonies and will never do anything to invade other people's territory? His Majesty the Central also meant this, so he knew that the envoys of Xikun were not kind, so he still treated them. Everything is good, so..."
So they never thought about what else they could do except passive defense.
Gu Huaijiang smiled. Lao Jin was a militant. He had always criticized Emperor Ning’s way of ruling the country with peace as the most important thing. "This is different from the past. What is my Dongling's preciousness, but Xikun has deceived people too much, and has repeatedly attacked me. Dongling border. I Gu Huaijiang is a Confucian general.
What, he wants to enter the territory of Xikun? !
Zhang Zhong suddenly became excited. They had followed Gu Huaijiang to guard the border for so many years, and they had never seen what the border city of Xikun looked like. They had long wanted to see it!
From the premise, it is indispensable to be scolded by Gu Huaijiang, saying that they are soldiers who defend their land for the country, and are not bandits and bandits who invade other countries. How can they take it by force
This time Gu Huaijiang proposed by himself, and they were so excited that they couldn't believe it.
Yan Hua was really the most stable of the generals. He was overjoyed and quickly calmed down. "General, you have always disagreeed to invade Xikun, saying that we did it like this and it would be no different from the barbarians of Xikun. Why this time? Changed your mind?"
This is what everyone in the account wants to ask.
Gu Huaijiang was silent for a moment, recalling the past, his thoughts flying far, far.
"I went with my father when I was seventeen. At that time, like Yan Zheng and the others, I hid outside the big tent and listened to what was discussed inside, thinking that the adults inside didn't know."
Everyone's eyes were thrown to the outside of the account, Yan Huashi strode out of the account, and he saw Yan Zheng sneaking out of the account.
"You! You brat!"
"Father! I am young and I am not qualified to enter the big account, but the general will not break me if he knows it. You still don't understand what he means!"
Yan Huashi was taken aback, and Yan Zheng took the opportunity to scatter her and ran away.
He reluctantly returned to the account, Gu Huaijiang chuckled, and Lao Jin patted him on the shoulder, "Old Yan, don't care about him. Which one of us didn't come here?"
Looking back at the age of the lesser things, a group of middle-aged generals were full of emotions. On the contrary, it seemed that Gu Shubai's fate was too good. He was destined to be qualified to stand in the big tent when he was born.
Gu Huaijiang changed the conversation, "Seventeen years old, more than 30 years have passed, and I have fought a handful of defeats! But the Xikun army still tramples on my Dongling land every year, why?! Because they know that we are. We can only defend, not counterattack. We know that we are a state of etiquette, but Xikun people will only think that we dare not!"
Everyone was silent, what Gu Huaijiang said were objective facts, but it also violated Dongling's customs and the way of ruling the country by His Majesty.
"Your Majesty made an exception to seal the ranks of Jiu Ge and Han Mo Fourth General. I was in a daze. I am not young anymore. The battle at the border has been fought endlessly year after year, and it is our younger generation that suffers. For them. , I will also completely choke Xikun’s eastward invading hands as long as I live!"
In the past two years, he has been disturbed in the middle of the court. His Majesty and him have been poisoned one after another, and the two princes are separated. Yin Shuo is always calculating the Guhou Mansion...
Gu Shubai almost died under their calculations.
At this age, he didn't want to send his sons to the battlefield one by one when he was living in the mansion.
Rather than that, it is better to go all out and defeat Xikun so that their army will never invade again!
"Father!"
Gu Shubai took a step forward, "The child is the major general of the Gu Jiajun, and he has the responsibility on his shoulders. You can't push all of them to his father!"
Gu Jiuge and Gu Hanmo also took a step forward, and all the participants stood up.
Gu Huaijiang chuckled, "So I called you all? We father and son fought side by side. Of course, not just for you, but also for Yan Zheng, for Huo Yin... For the descendants of all the soldiers of the Gu family army, and no longer Invaded by war!"
