Dark clouds rolled in the hazy sky, and his appearance was like the sun shining all over.
Gu Shubai stood there and smiled at her, seeing the blue under her eyes, and his exhaustion was full.
"Tired?"
The two of them spoke in unison, and as soon as they spoke, they looked at each other in a daze.
After a while, he laughed again. He put down his helmet and said, "I am not tired. My father is in the army, and even I have to retreat. What I worry about is you. The adults in the Imperial Academy don't seem to be able to hold it anymore. NS."
After speaking, he looked outside the courtyard, Yufu followed his gaze and couldn't help pursing his lips and chuckles.
The affairs are complicated, and Gu Huaijiang and their father and son are naturally involved in the war, and the rest can only be supported by jade. Not to mention, just how the newly-made weapons shipped from the capital should be distributed among the cities, and how the soldiers and civilians who died in each city should be properly arranged, is enough for her to worry.
She said again: "What about father?"
"Don't worry about my father. He has been on the battlefield for decades, has a wealth of experience and knows how to protect himself."
Gu Shubai sat down next to her case and saw the official documents high up on the book case. These were not Korean government affairs, but just related affairs related to war.
This time, there are many generals and soldiers, and the corresponding allocation of food, grass, and weapons is naturally also large. A slight negligence may delay the fighter plane, which can be described as affecting the whole body.
Tianshu suddenly came in from outside the courtyard, with a medicine bowl in his hand, and saw Gu Shubai nodding at him, which was regarded as a courtesy.
Only Tianshu was the only one who drove out this time. Yufu asked Yuehu to stay in the capital to take care of Su Yunyan's womb. There were three children from Gufu, but Yuehu did not come along.
Gu Shubai saw the medicine bowl in his hand and stood up slowly, "This is..."
Tianshu quickly said: "Yufu is really tired these days as a medicine for replenishing the body."
Gu Shubai nodded thoughtfully, looked at Yufu, who wrinkled his nose, "Let's let it go for a while, it's too bitter."
"Drink the medicine while it's hot, and I'll get you candied fruit."
Gu Shubai said, ignoring all the dust, and immediately walked out.
Yu Fu was too late to stop him, and smiled helplessly, "It's okay for Yaolan to do this little thing. He wants the scorpion to sting."
Tian Shu snorted softly, "This is what he should be."
Yufu glanced at him, before he could speak, Gu Shubai strode in with the candied fruit, "Hurry up and drink the medicine."
Yufu had to pick up the bowl and drank it all at once with his head up. When putting down the bowl, Gu Shubai accurately put a piece of candied fruit in her mouth.
The smell of sweetness spread.
Her frowning brows quickly loosened, and Gu Shubai's eyes flashed, a little distressed, "You now drink medicine just like drinking water. It has become commonplace."
In the past, Yufu rarely took medicine. Although she was afraid of the cold, the Gu family rarely gave her a chance to get cold.
Now she has become a pot of medicine, and her body is full of medicine. It can be seen that she is drinking medicine every day when he is away.
Yufu heard what he meant, and just smiled, "It's all medicines for replenishing the body, and I don't have any sickness, so don't worry."
Gu Shubai realized that his voice was sorrowful, and quickly cleared up his expression, and said with a smile: "You have to listen carefully to the words of the second brother. No matter how busy you are, you can't ignore your body. Today is calm and calm. Don't be bored here to read official documents. I will take you. Go out for a walk."
"now?"
Yufu looked at him, "Would you like to change your clothes? Your armor has been eroded by the sea water."
Gu Shubai took her hand, "The true true color of a hero is the mark of our bloody battle. The armor of the lieutenant soldier is covered with rust. I am used to it now, and I don’t find it ugly. If you don’t like it, I At once… "
Yufu immediately covered his mouth, "I don't find it ugly either. You look good in everything you wear, as long as it is you, I like it."
The two smiled at each other, ignoring that Tianshu stood aside with the remaining medicine bowl, and looked at them bitterly.
The couple had a good idea. They separated him and Yuehu, one in Beijing and the other in Taicheng. They had fun in their own minds, and they were fighting each other while fighting each other.
It's really outrageous!
On the high towers, the north wind rolled up the military flag and hunted. The military flag with the word Gu on the gold background and white stripes was almost the same as the former Gu Jiajun’s military flag, except for the color.
That was the character written by Yufu himself. When Ziyu arrived in Taicheng, the entire city's military flags were replaced with the character Gu.
Yufu wore a silk robe with three layers inside and three layers outside. The skirt of the same color covered the upper. He was also wrapped in a light purple fox cloak. His hands were wrapped in white mink sleeves with small purple gold inside. Hand stove.
No matter how strong the wind was on the city wall, she couldn't feel the chill, and she looked down the city freely. From this angle, she could see the vast sea.
She stopped and looked at the sea. She could see nothing but the blue water, and occasionally seabirds swept across the horizon and passed by in a flash.
"Big brother, do you like the sea?"
She suddenly spoke and turned to Gu Shubai to the side. His cloak of the same color behind his black armor was raised high by the north wind, reflecting the green mountains and blue sea, like a picture scroll.
He smiled faintly, "I liked it before."
"what about now?"
His eyes were long, falling on the blue sea, "I still like it now, but it's not the same as before. I used to think that the ocean is vast and magnificent. After this battle, he realized that the ocean is also the same. It is part of our rivers and mountains. If I have the opportunity, I hope I can train a navy with my own hands. In the future, neither Sangyi nor other overseas countries can invade the mainland of Kyushu at all."
Yufu couldn't help but smile, then shook his head again, bowing his head silently.
Gu Shubai said, "Did I say something wrong?"
"No, you are right."
Yufu said sincerely: "I'm just surprised that you think this way. I thought you would be like other lieutenants. After this battle, you never want to see the sea again. There are the corpses of our Beili soldier in the sea, and there are countless others. The blood and sins of humanity, whoever has experienced it personally, can not be disgusted? You are the only one who is still thinking about training a navy to guard this sea area that belongs to us in the future."
She sternly said: "I promise you that Bei Li will formally form a navy after this battle is won. You are right. This ocean is also part of our rivers and mountains. It should not be ignored for thousands of years."
This battle... After the victory.
Gu Shubai said, "The Ministry of Industry... Is there any news?"
Yufu nodded, "The shipyard of the Ministry of Industry is based on the giant Sangyi ship, covering the hull with a large amount of iron to make the ship stronger. If nothing happens, it will be able to sail out from the mouth of the river next month. A decisive battle with the Sangyi fleet on the sea."
She had never doubted whether she could defeat her opponent after creating a giant ship as advanced as the Sangyi people.
The answer is no doubt.
Bei Li can beat the Sangyi in all aspects, and the ship is their only weakness. Once their own giant ship leaves the river mouth, it will definitely be able to repel the Sangyi people.
Yufu said again: "Did you know? There was a news from the Ministry of Industry a few days ago that a new iron ore was discovered in the northern border, which is larger than the original iron ore in Beili combined. So they Spend the money on building the ship without worrying about insufficient funds, but in this way, the time will be increased by ten and a half days than originally planned."
"You agree?"
"Um."
Yufu had to agree.
The lieutenants and soldiers are all waiting for the giant ship of the Ministry of Industry to go to sea. That is everyone's last hope. Once something unexpected happens, the consequences will be disastrous.
She would never allow a slight accident to appear, and would rather wait a little longer, just to defeat the Sangyi fleet in one fell swoop.
Of course she also understands what the consequences are. Perhaps the army will have to sacrifice many soldiers, or perhaps the people of a certain city will be slaughtered...
But she has no choice.
For a long time, she took a deep breath, "Maybe this is God's will, and the unrighteous teacher will fail."
"When we defeat the Sangyi people, will you chase after victory?"
Naturally, Gu Shubai was not worried about not winning. What he was worried about was what would happen after victory. Bei Li caused the nation's restlessness for this battle, and how it ended was the key.
This is the so-called easy to fight against the country, but difficult to defend. If you can hold the territory, you can be regarded as holding the country, and you have to keep the people's peace.
Yufu thought for a moment, "I have no time to think about this problem. After the victory, it is naturally more important to restore the people's livelihood. The account of the Sangyi people..."
Her eyes became cold little by little, and she said every word: "It won't be too late to ask."
…
Gu Huaijiang and others tried all kinds of methods to turn passive defense into active attack, and the war continued into the twelfth lunar month.
The coldest season on the sea.
This season is not suitable for battle at sea. The strongest Beili soldier fell into the sea and couldn't guarantee that he would last for an hour.
The Sangyi people had a huge ship for battalion, but Bei Li's hands and feet were bound, and the enemy gradually gained the upper hand. The battle became more and more difficult.
Yufu went to the barracks in person and saw that the soldiers were wearing thin clothes, but she herself was surrounded by furs, and she felt uncomfortable.
Gu Shubai saw her emotions, and said: "There are enough cotton-padded clothes in the army, but everyone doesn't want to wear it. Don't think too much."
"I don't want to wear it?"
Yufu is puzzled. Why don't you wear cotton-padded clothes in the freezing season
Yan Zheng rushed back to answer, "Your Majesty, it's true, it's really that we don't want to wear it ourselves. Now that the sea is cold, the soldiers are worried that they won't be able to hold it in the water, so they usually wear less to adapt to the cold. If you wear more on weekdays , It was cold in the sea, but I couldn't stand it."
Yufu relaxed a bit when he heard the words, but still frowned when he watched the army lieutenant's trembling and standing in the wind for constant training.
Gu Shubai was about to speak, but Yufu himself smiled, "Don't comfort me, I understand that everything is for victory in war."
After talking, he got into the account without looking back.
Gu Shubai was stunned on the spot, and Yan Zheng said: "Your Majesty has seen too much, so his heart is hardened? Actually, it's okay to be harder, but..."
"Just what?"
Yan Zheng scratched his head, wondering if his words would make people angry, "I just feel that your majesty is more like your majesty, and less and less like the young lady back then."
Gu Shubai heard too much of this, he didn't think it, he just said: "You wore open crotch pants when you were young, why don't you wear them now?"
Yan Zheng blushed. He was ridiculed like this when he was married, and he was immediately ashamed and embarrassed, "You...how can you say that to me, then who is wearing open pants when he grows up?"
Gu Shubai snorted coldly, "Whoever becomes the emperor is still like Miss Boudoir, are you?"
Yan Zheng was still in a daze when he heard the words, he had already lifted the curtain of the tent and walked in without looking back, his posture and movements were almost exactly the same as that of Yufu.
Yan Zheng was stunned for a while before reacting, "Don't I just say that your Majesty has changed? It's not a bad thing. As for protecting me like this..."
Gu Shubai didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Yufu could even abandon her children for this battle, and he wouldn't be surprised no matter how much she changed.
Likewise, he doesn't mind.
In the big account, Gu Huaijiang and others are analyzing the recent battle with Yufu, "... Almost all previous tactics were based on unprepared raids by the Sangyi people. And the advantage is that our soldiers have high martial arts skills. , I am familiar with water quality. But now, none of these advantages can be used."
Gu Huaijiang handed over the letters on the case to Yufu, "These are letters from spies who risked death. They mentioned a very critical issue that we had never considered before."
Yufu frowned, but his face was very composed, "What is it?"
"Sangyi people are not afraid of cold."
"not afraid cold?"
Gu Yiguang shuddered when he said the word "cold".
Like the lieutenant generals, they were very thinly dressed, except for Gu Huaijiang and some senior soldiers who wore a little thicker, even Kun Yuyang's attire was very simple.
Gu Huaijiang nodded, "The farther north it gets, the colder it gets. The place of Sangyi country is in the north. For a long time in their country, they lacked clothing. Some of the people of Sangyi died of freezing in the ice and snow, and some survived. Such a generation. After generations, their descendants became not afraid of the cold at all. Until later they traveled across oceans to the mainland of Kyushu, learned textile craftsmanship and put on thick clothes. This cold-resistant physique has not changed."
If it hadn't been for the spy to send the letter back, everyone could not believe it for a while, that the Sangyi people looked short and small, and they had such amazing abilities.
Yufu said, "According to this, the colder the weather is, the more favorable it is for them. No wonder the Sangyi people have become more arrogant in attacking coastal cities. If we fight at this time, wouldn't we expose ourselves to the shortcomings?"
Gu Shubai said, "That's what it means. So my father thinks that we can only defend, not attack. Instead of wasting our limited forces in the unattractive sea, it is better to deploy defenses on land. Fishermen in all coastal cities are now Already moving towards the city is almost complete, the range that the Sangyi artillery can attack is nothing but an unmanned village."
"You mean, withdraw troops?"
"right."
Gu Huaijiang said: "Withdraw the army five miles back, and the ship withdraws to the inner port. The Sangyi people will not go ashore. Once they go ashore, we will use our best combat method to let them go and never return!"
Yufu finally agreed to Gu Huaijiang's method of warfare.
She knows that Gu Huaijiang's keenness for war is enough to support every decision he makes, and it is the most advantageous decision with the least damage in front of him.
She has no reason to disagree.
Gu Shubai accompanied Yufu back, Gu Xiang and Gu Yi personally sent them out of the barracks, and when they watched the carriage leave, Gu Yi stomped.
Gu Xiang looked at him, "Are you cold?"
"Nonsense, aren't you cold?"
Gu Yi looked around and saw that no one noticed him. He simply rubbed his arms and said, "It's freezing cold. If it weren't for the body protection, I would have died of cold."
"Just return your internal strength to protect your body, hahaha."
Gu Xiang has always worked harder than him in martial arts, but he is not as cold as him at the moment. Gu Yi said: "In front of Yufu, I have to pretend not to be cold at all, for fear that she is worried. Although it is reasonable to use less clothes to get used to the cold. But isn’t it because of the shortage of supplies in the army?”
He sighed, "Look, the eldest brother's armor has been stained with rust by the sea, and there is nothing to replace it. This is especially true for the lieutenants. I saw that some people's red armor was almost completely black. A."
"How can it be so exaggerated as you said?"
Gu Xiang wiped his armor and tried his best to wipe away the rust. "It's good to wipe it off. It's rusty and it's not rotten. Why are you so hypocritical?"
After he said he walked towards the camp, Gu Yi jumped angrily behind him, "I am hypocritical? You actually said that I am hypocritical?!"
He flew up to catch Gu Xiang. Gu Xiang had been prepared for a long time, and he ducked aside, "Come on, let me see if your martial arts has improved, so that you don't have to cry every day."
"Fuck you brother!"
