The night is quiet, and the West Wing is like a bean.
Yufu sat alone under the window, thinking that there was no news about the border crossing, whether it was happiness or sorrow.
The good news is that if he didn’t find his corpse, he was probably not dead yet, but the worry is that if he really died, he wouldn’t even be able to see his corpse in the capital...
She vaguely heard the sound of sword clank in the spring night, coming from the martial arts field, and opened the window to look in that direction.
Yaolan yawned and walked in, "Isn't the young lady still resting? Is the sound of the martial arts field bothering the young lady?"
Yufu shook his head slightly, "Who is practicing swordsmanship at the martial arts field so late? Third brother?"
Yaolan said: "No, it's not just the third son. General Yan and General Huo stayed in the Guhou Mansion day and night, and they refused to leave. The soldiers they brought were also waiting for them. They watched Lord Hou by day for fear of your majesty sending someone. Catch him and they practice swords and martial arts at night, like..."
"Like what?"
Yaolan thought for a while, and finally came up with the right words to express her thoughts, "like preparations before the war."
Yufu was awakened by her words with a secret emotion somewhere in her heart. She took a cloak from the shelf and tied it, "I will go to the martial arts field to see."
Yaolan woke up all of a sudden, "Miss, what is going to the martial arts field so late? No way, no, let me go with you!"
Talking and hurriedly ran back to the outside room to put on his own clothes, and followed Yufu to the martial arts field with a lantern.
The huge martial arts venue is brightly lit, and the soldiers' belief in nowhere supports them to practice martial arts endlessly, without feeling tired at all.
Yufu stood by the door and looked at her for a while, but Yan Zheng was the first to spot her, "Miss, why are you here?"
Yufu walked in slowly, and Gu Hanmo greeted her. She smiled slightly, "What are you doing here? Why do you not sleep in the middle of the night and practice martial arts here?"
I haven't seen them so diligent on weekdays. What do they want to do
Yan Zheng lowered his head in a jealous manner, and looked at Gu Hanmo subconsciously. Gu Hanmo was not a liar, and the emotions in his eyes could not deceive Yufu.
Yufu understood instantly.
"Brother, how can you keep things like this from me?"
Gu Hanmo was a little apologetic, "Yufu, you can't participate in this matter. We are planning to die with the determination, but you must not die. I heard that your Majesty has given you the Princess Mansion, and you will move out of Gu tomorrow. Hou Mansion, okay?"
In the day, Gu Huaijiang drove her back to the Immortal Valley, and in the evening Gu Hanmo drove her to the princess's mansion. Yufu looked at him aggrievedly, "Third brother, don't you treat me as your sister? You don't want me to participate in the Guhou Mansion affairs. Isn't it?"
"No, of course not!"
Gu Hanmo didn't know how to explain. He regarded Yufu as his younger sister. He wanted to protect her and hope that she would leave Guhou Mansion, but this was too cruel for Yufu.
He didn't know what to do for a while, but Yu Fu said, "Brother, what are you going to do?"
Raising troops for a thousand days to use troops for a while, and training troops tonight means that the time to use troops will soon come.
Gu Hanmo knew that she had guessed it, and did not intend to hide it from her, "Your Majesty gave her father a ten-day period to recover from the illness, and he will definitely send someone to arrest him after ten days. At that time, the Gu's army resisted the decree and did not respect his father. —"
He lifted the sword in his hand, pulled a cold-lighting sword flower in the air, and finally pointed the long sword straight to the east.
Yufu looked in the direction of his Jianfeng, which was the direction of Miyagi.
She was silent for a moment. Just when Gu Hanmo thought she would prevent her recklessness, she raised her head and said, "How many people do Gu's army have in the imperial capital?"
Gu Hanmo paused, "Also, there are still ten thousand people."
Yufu shook his head, "Not enough. The emperor does not belong to the Gu family's army. The number of troops is 10,000, and the Yulin Army has more than 10,000. Although the Gu family's military strength is strong, the general can't lead the troops personally in bed, and he has to fight. Discount. In this way, we cannot guarantee the victory of all the defenders of the Imperial Capital. Third brother, you should know what the result will be if you can’t win.”
Gu Hanmo didn't know it, he sighed softly, "I know that I may not be able to beat it, so I said that I am determined to die, and in any case, they can't let them take away his father!"
Yufu twisted his brows lightly, and his voice increased by three points, "Brother, you can't have the determination to die, none of us can die! Whether it is the general or you, or every soldier in the Gu family army, everyone can't sacrifice in vain! You are obviously not sure you want everyone to raise troops with you. Isn't this trying to push Gu Jiajun to death?"
"Miss, we are not afraid! In order to save the general and you, we are not afraid of death! Gu's army does not have a scumbag, do you think?"
Yan Zheng raised his arms, and the soldiers present echoed in unison, their voices deafening.
Yufu looked at everyone, "You don’t care, I care! Do you think that the general is ill in bed, can you just watch you die for him? He is a good general who loves soldiers like a child, if he knows his life is spent Your sacrifices are in exchange for, do you think he will survive the world?!"
Yan Zheng and others lowered their heads slowly, thinking about what Yufu said.
Yufu continued: "Whether Gu's army has colluded with Xikun and the enemy to treason, everyone in this room knows better than me! But have you ever thought that once the stigma of Gu's army rebellion will be unclear, even if you can Endure, can the loyal generals endure it?"
"Let him bear the notoriety of infidelity, he must be more uncomfortable than death."
Everyone's heads dropped even lower. They knew what Yufu said was reasonable, but they didn't know how to resolve the immediate crisis.
Gu Hanmo bit his lip slightly, "Yufu, do you have to stop us from raising troops?"
"No, I won't stop you."
Yufu's words turned sharply, "Everything I just said is based on the fact that we don't have enough troops to guarantee victory. If we can get the support of other troops in the imperial capital, we may still be able to fight."
Everyone listened to her sharp words and thought she was going to resolutely prevent them from raising troops, but she didn't expect her to mean it.
"Yes, if we can win over other generals in the imperial capital, won't we be more sure about it?"
"How to fight for? Who do you fight for?"
When everyone talked about it, Gu Hanmo suddenly thought of something, "Yufu, are you already selected?"
Yufu thought for a while, and nodded slightly, "There is only one. Perhaps the fourth brother will be more clear about the human relations in the mansion. Tomorrow, let the fourth brother Li Yili and the list of decent generals who have a good relationship with Guhou Mansion, and see who they are. It can be won. As for the person I think..."
She pursed her lips, a trace of firmness flashed in her eyes, "I'll go and say it myself."
The person Yufu said was Mo Huangsha, the head of the military protection army, who was awarded a reward for his contribution to maintaining the public order of the imperial capital at the beginning of Ning Chengzhi's accession to the throne.
Since the contact with Yufu that time, he has been full of respect and admiration for this young princess, and often praised Yufu's behavior with others.
It was during this contact that Yufu learned about Mo Huangsha.
He is a piece of rough jade, talented and capable, but he was born humble and would not flatter horses, so his rank in the court has never been high.
After maintaining the public order of the imperial capital, he seemed to have been carved out, and he shined in the court, and his military power gradually increased.
On this day, he was having dinner in the mansion, when he heard someone hurriedly come in and tell him, "General, the princess of Zhenjiang is here!"
"puff."
Mo Huangsha almost choked on a mouthful of soup, and finally swallowed it, staring at people, "Who are you talking about? Princess Zhenjiang?"
What kind of status is the Princess Zhenjiang? How could she condescend to come to his house in person
He suspected that there was a problem with his ears, but the servants were determined not to doubt, "It is the princess, the man has already come in, the general hurry up to meet him, it will be too late!"
Mo Huangsha hurriedly got up and wiped his mouth with his sleeve. Before he went out, he saw Yufu Kuankuan coming in.
She wore a black cloak, the brim of the hat was so low that she couldn't see her face, but her whole body made it clear that she was precious.
Mo Huangsha immediately stepped forward, and said, "The last general Mo Huangsha has seen the princess!"
Yufu took off his hat and stepped forward to give him a false help, "You are welcome, General Mo, come in and talk."
Mo Huangsha hurriedly ordered the best tea. Yufu entered the room and saw dinner on the table. She apologized, "General Mo hasn't finished dinner yet? Why don't I go to the side hall for a while, the general uses it? Speak after dinner!"
As he said, he walked out, Mo Huangsha quickly stopped.
"No, no, the eldest princess doesn't have to avoid it, I'm already full, I'm full!"
He was so nervous that he was at a loss, and for a while he was served with tea and snacks, and for a while, he was asked to take away his leftover meals, and then he opened the window to change the air.
After a rush for a while, he ordered people to exit the main hall, leaving only two of them and one Yaolan.
Yaolan helped Yu with a blessed body and walked to the door to guard it personally to prevent anyone from approaching and eavesdropping.
Looking at the battle, Mo Huangsha thought about the weirdness of Yu Fu's arrival at night, and also thought of a series of things that had happened in the Guhou Mansion recently.
She must have come for the Guhou Mansion.
Thinking about it this way, Mo Huangsha was not as nervous as he was just now. He arched his hands towards Yu and said, "Princess, please sit down and speak slowly."
Yufu was not polite with him either, "General Mo, please sit down too, since I am visiting at night, you and I don't have to observe any monarch's courtesy."
Mo Huangsha sat down and listened to Yufu: "General Mo used to lead the Du Hu army and Gu Jiajun to fight side by side at the beginning. I don't know what kind of existence Gu Jiajun is in the eyes of General Mo?"
Mo Huangsha said: "Gu's army has strict military discipline. It just stands there without doing anything. It looks different from the end general's Duhu army. Gu's army is victorious in all battles and is the best and most powerful one in Dongling. An army."
Yufu smiled, "This kind of evaluation Gu Jiajun has heard too much. I want to ask General Mo not this, but... your evaluation of the general and Gu Jiajun's conduct. Your Majesty suspects that Gu Jiajun is in collusion with Xikun. What do you think of this matter?"
Mo Huangsha was silent for a moment, and he needed to be careful when referring to the matter of His Majesty today.
He glanced out of the door subconsciously, and saw that there was no one except Yaolan, and he said with confidence, "The princess, although he is humble, he is not blind in both eyes. It can be seen that His Majesty wanted to use the framing of Guhou Mansion to force the princess to marry him. Anyone in Dongling could collude with Xikun, but Guhou could not. Otherwise, this great river and mountain would have long been Kundi. That's it."
It's hard for him to think so clearly and speak so candidly.
Yufu nodded in relief, and had a seven to eight sense of the purpose of his coming today.
She said: "Your Majesty only promised to give the general a ten-day recuperation time. After ten days, he will be ordered to be taken to prison at any time. What can be done if you want to add a crime? Your majesty is mediocre and favors the traitor, and treats loyal veterans like this. We can’t just wait and die."
Mo Huangsha's heart trembled, and he immediately understood Yufu's intentions today.
He bounced from his seat like a fire on his ass, "Princess, you... Do you mean, you want to resist your majesty?"
Yufu seemed to think that he was not scared enough, so he pointed out the words directly, "Since ancient times, it has been a right way to cut down on Wudao and punish monarchs. If your majesty is a wise monarch, I will die without complaint at the mansion. General Mo. Do you really think that a king like your majesty can give the people a stable life?"
Mo Huangsha's heart was stunned, "You mean to raise troops... to force the palace?!"
Yufu stood up from his seat, "Yes, it's just that Gu's army in the imperial capital is limited. Can General Mo be willing to help us?"
…
At the same time, Gu Hanmo and Gu Wenqing, representing Guhou Mansion, are negotiating with those generals who are inclined to Guhou Mansion.
They are very cautious in choosing, and they are not sure that the other party will not betray the Guhou mansion even if they disagree. They will never see them.
In this way, all those who had had a long and earnest talk with them almost did not agree.
In the quiet, remote and dark alleys in the dead of night, a woman wearing a cloak walked quickly, trying to avoid being discovered by anyone.
She knew that people from Yin Shuo had been watching outside Gu Hou's mansion. Once Yin Shuo discovered their intention to raise troops, the consequences would be disastrous.
Outside the gate of Guhou’s mansion, a black shadow crawled on the tree. Seeing that the time was almost up, the soldiers of the Gu’s army stretched out and walked out. Expensive. Now that the Guhou Mansion is in such a downturn, what use is there for us to keep a low profile?"
"Yes."
Another soldier came up with a yawn, wielding a short sword in his hand, "No matter day or night, as long as you stand guard outside the door, it is really annoying. Tonight... Let's make a ruthless one. Breathe!"
Before he finished his words, he threw a sword towards the big tree not far away, and a muffled grunt came from the dark night, and then a figure fell from the tree.
The stalkers were taken aback. They didn't expect that their whereabouts would have been exposed long ago. They simply kept doing nothing and fought with the soldiers of the Guhou Mansion.
There was the sound of swordsmen at the front door, and the corner door of Guhou's backyard opened quietly, and Lianbi and others were standing there, "Miss, come in!"
Yufu was about to enter the door, when he heard footsteps coming from the back alley, and listening carefully, he saw that Gu Hanmo and Gu Wenqing were in the same cloak, walking low-key through the alley.
"Three brothers and four brothers!"
Yufu greeted them, "Quickly, come in and talk about it!"
The small door of the backyard was bolted, and Yufu said urgently, "How is the situation with you?"
Gu Hanmo said: "It's smoother than expected. The guards stationed in the paddock and the guards of the imperial tomb have all expressed their willingness to support us. The two armies seem inconspicuous on weekdays, and the total number is 5,000."
Gu Wenqing said: "Actually, I think Meng Fei, the leader of the Yulin Army, is also a figure that can be won, but it is a bit of a risk. If we can win him, there will be no concealment by your Majesty..."
Yufu recalled Mengfei. He led the Yulin Army for many years. Under his leadership, the Yulin Army was in order. Even if the concubine and the prince seized power, the Yulin Army did not do anything selfish.
Gu Huaijiang himself once praised Meng Fei as a very brave, courageous general among the younger generation.
Gu Hanmo said: "Mengfei is a big matter. We have to discuss it carefully and don't worry about it for a while. By the way, Yufu, how effective are you going to see Mo Huangsha? The protective army in Mo Huangsha's hands controls the imperial capital. Half of the lifeblood is the key to winning him."
Yufu nodded, "Don't worry, Mo Huangsha has agreed. The next thing we have to do is to integrate the forces that can be mobilized in front of us and design a reasonable formation. This third brother should be more experienced than us."
Gu Hanmo is a person who has been on the battlefield, he is obsessed with martial arts, and is very proficient in the formation of warfare.
He nodded, "Stop standing here and talking. Go to my yard first. Let's sit down and speak slowly."
The three walked side by side. Before stepping out of the backyard, they saw a tall figure leaning against the door, Gu Huaijiang leaning on a cane and staring at the three of them.
