After receiving the letter from Gong Yimo, Gong Jue did not show joy for the first time.
The queen asked him to return to Beijing.
Yes, when he returned to Beijing at this time, he was able to get the emperor's reward, he had power and money, he managed well, and if he had money, he could make a ghost run the mill.
However, he is not reconciled!
Now Lou Ye is ready to make a move, and it is very likely that he will take advantage of the heavy snow to make a sudden move and catch them by surprise. He can't just leave like that. He wants more, only 30,000 soldiers in his hand. The horse can't satisfy him at all, so he must make a contribution! Exchange merit for rights!
Gong Jue wants to find out for himself!
The King of Zhenxi was the first to object!
He believes that Gong Jue is just chasing the wind and shadows. A tunnel is nothing. There are so many tunnels between countries. Who hasn't been careful? Lou Ye's secret visit to Yuheng can't explain anything, and it's cold here in winter, people don't even have enough food, how can they come to fight
In the end, he just couldn't bear the suffering of the people.
The King of Zhenxi has been guarding Xizhou for ten years, and there has never been a war here. Once he approves the idea of Gong Jue, the people must actively prepare for the war. The Chinese New Year is the most relaxed time of the year, and he is unwilling to do so The absence of shadows causes panic.
But Gong Jue didn't think so.
Judging from the soil quality, the tunnel has just been completed, and it is clear that Lou Ye excavated it to investigate the situation. Including the time, Lou Ye secretly visited Yuheng a year ago. . No food... Could it be that Lou Ye's actions a year ago were borrowing food from Yuheng? Maybe they have already reached some kind of agreement!
Gong Jue believes in his own intuition. Gong Yimo said that the human brain will collect and analyze a lot of information invisibly, so that intuition is created, so sometimes, intuition can be trusted!
But grandpa doesn't believe him... Gong Jue thought for a while, then suddenly smiled, so what if he didn't believe it? He still decided to do it in secret!
Bai Sheng was the first to disagree when he found out.
"His Royal Highness, since the princess has already arranged everything, why don't you come according to her wishes?" He really didn't want Gong Jue's idea to come true, because once a war is launched, it is not a matter of one person, but a country .
Over the past year, he has also developed a friendship with people in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and he really does not want anything to happen.
Furthermore, the princess asked Her Royal Highness to return to Beijing and used this achievement to fight for the construction of the canal. I heard that the canal could be built in just two years. At that time, it will be a great achievement that has been passed down through the ages. Thanks for the credit, Your Highness will definitely have a much smoother road in the future. The princess has worked so hard to fight for such a good retreat, why is Your Highness unwilling to do it
Gong Jue naturally knew Bai Sheng's thoughts. He sat on the hill and looked at the boundless sky in front of him. The evening sunset in the Western Zhou Dynasty was particularly beautiful, like a cloud of fire, as if it was burning his heart.
Gong Jue's cold brows became more and more calm and firm. he said slowly.
"...Building the canal is naturally a great achievement, but now, the prince has been in power for a year. If I go, no matter how hard I try, I can't beat the prince."
After he finished speaking lightly, he couldn't help showing a wry smile.
It's not that he didn't want to see Gong Yimo earlier. It's been a year and a half, has she changed? But he remembers what he wants even more... He wants his imperial sister! He wants to have the right to deter the world, to have the deterrent force to shut up everyone! That is far from what a wealthy prince can have.
He only has military power!
Only then can everyone's life and death... be firmly controlled between applause.
"But, how can we find out the truth?"
Bai Sheng was still resisting, not wanting Gong Jue to take risks.
Gong Jue pulled off the yellow grass and said lightly, "Since... they can come to check the news through the secret passage, why can't we go there?"
His idea was so crazy that Bai Sheng never refuted him for a long time.
Use the other party's secret way to spy on the enemy's situation to counter-spy on the enemy's situation? Really, only the daring Gong Jue, a talented artist, would have such an idea.
It was night, and a group of men in black appeared at the border of Lou Ye.
The person at the head was obviously a teenager, his face was covered, only a pair of eyes were exposed, a pair of very cold ink eyes.
They had just passed through the secret passage secretly, and after killing the guard at the exit, they found that they had reached Lou Ye's situation. Lou Ye's people really had bad intentions and even dug such a long tunnel to go directly to the country.
The people who came here with Gong Jue are all dead men. Gong Jue has money and people, and it is not a problem to train a few dead men, but he has such a long-term vision at a young age, like a prophet.
Several people ran fast in the dark night, and they didn't know how far they went.
"His Royal Highness! There is a fire ahead!"
Gong Jue squinted and saw that someone was camping ahead.
He made a quick gesture, and everyone moved forward. If there was an abnormality, they would hide and wait for Gong Jue's signal. In this way, they quickly approached the fire.
Lou Ye's people also speak Chinese, because they look down on the thin people in the mainland and envy their culture, while the nobles communicate in eagle script, which is the exclusive language of their nobles to prevent leaks.
This camp is obviously not an ordinary camp. It has a large area, and there are patrolling teams everywhere. It seems to be guarding something. Gong Jue leaned against a stone and looked in. The tall people, the cold weather He also wears very thin armor, his eyes are far away, and he is always on guard.
In addition to the patrol team, the laughter of women came from the big tents in the middle, and a large bonfire was lit at the door. Many people were eating meat and drinking around the fire, very happy. appearance.
Gong Jue's heart trembled slightly, and Lou Ye really moved.
Otherwise, there is no place in front of the village or a store in the back, why would they camp here
He couldn't help but remember what the queen had said once.
"The three armies have not moved, food and grass will go first!"
"Meng Na! How long do you say we have to wait? Judging from the weather, it seems that the first snow is about to fall."
It snowed early in Xizhou, and it lasted for several months at a time.
And the man named Meng Na was a burly man! He squinted his eyes while drinking and said, "It's been a few days. When the army is on the line and the snow comes together, we'll catch them off guard!"
And his words happened to be heard by Gong Jue who sneaked in. The food and grass turned out to be food and grass!
His heart trembled slightly, and the whole person hid like a ghost. If this place is really a place where food and grass are piled up, then there must be countless people guarding it. Sure enough, the angry voice of Lou Ye came from not far away. , it must be his people who have been found!
Gong Jue narrowed his eyes slightly, knowing that this was not the time to be brave, he would hide himself and wait for the opportunity!
This is a great opportunity, given to him in vain, he can't resist this temptation!
