Gu Yun's heart tightened, all this happened faster than he imagined, and even more chaotic than he imagined.
The area of the Western Regions is full of shallow pits and toads. Small countries are like a bunch of sheep dung eggs. The east and the west are piled up together, and the two ends are rubbing each other for three days, and they all want to swallow each other. However, in the past few years, Xuantieying Town has been at the entrance of the ancient Silk Road, and no one has dared to stab it for a long time.
Qiuci Country is such a small and broken country, and it is impossible to make hundreds of sand tigers by smashing pots and selling iron. This change must have tigers and wolves behind it. Obviously, it is not a problem at all.
The question is - what is the purpose of the forces behind Qiuci
Gu Yun also doesn't believe that all this was planned by the man in the palace, because Li Feng has a strong desire for control and likes to be safe and controllable in everything he does. act rashly.
This will only be afraid that Li Feng will also be caught off guard. On the one hand, he does not know what is going on in the northwest. On the other hand, he is afraid that the Xuantie camp will move without calling and disrupt the deployment of the court. Hold them down.
Gu Yun asked, "How many troops are stationed in each country?"
,
Xuan Ying: "There are about two or three thousand embassies in the Western Ocean, and Tianzhu is a little further away. There are only one thousand troops on defense, and the rest are the countries in the Western Regions."
"Impossible." Gu Yun bit the tip of his tongue slightly and swallowed the word "re-exploration", only then did he remember that he was not in the army at this time.
He was trapped in this four-nine city with a big manhole cover, and he was out of reach.
"Since hundreds of sand tigers have appeared, the opponent must want to fight a tough battle. If there are not tens of thousands of elite soldiers behind, it will be a waste of money. Even if there are not many troops on the surface, it does not mean that there are no hidden ones." Gu Yun closed his eyes slightly, his fingers clasped on the table, "To deal with Loulan's gang of rice bucket cavalry, a team of heavy armor and two or three sand tigers is enough. They have assembled a large number of sand tigers and tens of thousands of troops on our border. It can never be for the trivial matter of three mice and four eyes between small countries in the Western Regions."
Xuan Ying was stunned for a while: "Then either subordinates will rush back."
Gu Yun interrupted him and said, "No, it's too late."
Xuan Ying rushed to the capital from the ancient Silk Road station, and it took nearly two days at the fastest. It was already fast, and the capital was forbidden to be empty. He could only settle in the Beida camp first. It was the third day, and if he went back to give orders again, even if he ran to death, it would be delayed for five or six days.
The battlefield is changing rapidly, and five or six days are enough to subjugate the country—
Gu Yun gritted his teeth, but at this time he was detained in the capital!
"Go down and rest first." Gu Yun said softly, "Let me think about it."
Xuan Ying didn't dare to talk too much, and led the way.
Gu Yun turned around and heated a pot of wine for himself, and walked two steps in the room. Within a few inches, he had completely calmed down, and came up with a clue, thinking: "It may not be the worst situation. ."
He was detained, and Shen Yi was not there. Right now, He Ronghui, the commander-in-chief of Xuanying, was in the Northwest Black Iron Camp.
Gu Yun knew about He Ronghui's temper. He was a notorious peerless thorn. Except for Gu Yun, even Shen Yi might not be able to hold him down. He Ronghui would probably take the lead in attacking if he dared to use the drum-beating orders to spread the wild in Xuantie Camp, or Meng Duhu would be cleaned up and locked up.
So what's next
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door from the outside. As soon as Gu Yun opened the door, he saw Chang Geng at the door.
Gu Yun was holding the door halfway in his hand. When he saw Chang Geng, his heart that had just calmed down began to trouble again, so he had to ask with a stomachache, "Why are you here again?"
Chang Geng: "I think my foster father might need me now."
Gu Yun: ""
Chang Geng politely asked at the door, "Can I go in?"
He asked for instructions, turned around halfway, and made a gesture of "getting ready to go", preparing that as long as Gu Yun said the word "go away", he would immediately disappear.
Gu Yun thought to himself, "I must have owed this bastard a lot of money in my previous life."
Then he reluctantly gave way and put the bastard in the door.
Gu Yun just thought about it too much, but if he didn't stay, the warm wine on the small stove was already overheated, and it boiled with a gurgling sound. : "Drink?"
Chang Geng ignored him, took out a pot of cold boiled water for himself, and sat upright next to a chessboard - if he had shaved his hair, he would look like an ethereal monk.
Chang Geng asked, "Xuan Ying won't come overnight from the Northwest Camp for no reason. Is there a change at the border?"
Gu Yun didn't really want to tell him, so he said vaguely, "It's a little troublesome, it's nothing."
His personal prestige in the army is extremely high. The advantages of this are that he is one of a kind, with excellent control and efficiency. However, it is not without disadvantages that when things are extreme, Gu Yun can't help but maintain this prestige. When he understands something, he will not be the first to speak to others.
Over time, it's easy to rest on your laurels.
Chang Geng lifted his eyelids to look at him, but quickly withdrew his gaze, returning to the state of looking at his nose, nose and mouth, as if he was afraid that he would sink in if he watched too much. He picked up a chess piece from the chess box next to him and played with his fingertips.
Seeing that Gu Yun was reluctant to say more, Chang Geng took it by himself: "The generals of the three major battalions of Xuantie can all be on their own, with a little friction at the border, they won't bother you all the way - I guess it's at least tens of thousands of anomalies. The gathering of troops, or similar troubles, will let the Xuanying brother run around in this battle."
Gu Yun twirled the steaming wine glass repeatedly, and narrowed his eyes slightly in the sloppy drink: "General Zhong has taught you a lot."
"There is also something that General Zhong Lao hasn't taught me," Chang Geng said, "What is the foster father thinking?"
"Xuantieying takes protecting the country as its eternal bottom line," Gu Yun said in a low voice, "In the event of a sudden incident and unknown circumstances, Lao He will automatically regard the border line as a front-line position and close the ancient Silk Road portal. All roads will be cut off, and those who enter and leave without authorization will be upheld. If the Allies ask for help and the coach is not there, the Black Iron Camp will only provide shelter at most, and will never leave the camp without authorization. Whoever comes, there is no reason to easily break my northwest barrier - I don't worry about it for the time being, I just think about what their next move will be."
His voice was low and gentle, which seemed to be more intense than the fragrance of wine in a room full of wine, Chang Geng's ears numb involuntarily, so he could only lower his head calmly, trying his best to get rid of distracting thoughts: "If it were me, I wouldn't take advantage of this time to attack Daliang. "
Gu Yun's eyes paused on his black and white fingertips and chess pieces: "Why?"
Chang Geng placed his bead on the chessboard, and with a "smack" sound, Qingyue was tactful.
"Because the heat is not enough," he said, "the conflict between the adoptive father and His Majesty has not reached the level of fire and water. Although he has temporarily placed you under house arrest in the capital, the Black Iron Camp has not been dismantled, and it is still a monolithic unit. If foreign tribes invade, the emperor will use you at any time, the contradiction between the regime and military power that has intensified in recent years will be repaired overnight, and the layout of the previous years will be destroyed."
Ever since the carriage lost his composure that day, Chang Geng suddenly became sharp in front of Gu Yun. Whether it was family or state affairs, he spit it out from his mouth and pointed directly at the red heart, leaving no room for him.
Gu Yun was stabbed fiercely by the words "the contradiction between the regime and military power", and his fingers that were scalded by the wine glass stopped in the air.
There is a deadly place in the beam.
Emperor Wu had no sons, and the crown prince could only succeed him. No matter how wise and wise, with three heads and six arms, Emperor Wu was a person after all. When he was dying, the old man became a little selfish, and he left the military power of the princes to the emperor. His beloved daughter has since artificially separated the military power from the DPRK-China regime.
This was probably the biggest defeat in Emperor Wu's life - if the commander-in-chief kept his position and the emperor had a broad mind, then the monarch and his ministers might be able to end their generation, but what about two generations? What about three generations
Gu Yun knew this very well—
One day, the contradiction between the black iron tiger talisman and the emperor's jade seal will not be reconciled, then when it comes to an end, there will be no more than two ends, either "the country's thief usurped the throne", or "the birds are hiding their bows".
"I think this is a test that kills two birds with one stone," Chang Geng placed several pieces on the chessboard, "If those Fanbang people find out that once your foster father is not in the camp, the Xuantie Camp will become a drum-beating order. If the command is overwhelmed, then the large army that they are eyeing is prepared for us, not only in the Western Regions, but also the barbarians in the Northern Xinjiang, and the Japanese pirates who have been silent for many years in the East China Sea. However, this possibility is very small, the most likely outcome. Yes, the Northwest is still solid, and General He will forcibly detain the Northwest Protector who is holding a drum order—"
Gu Yun finally looked at him with a bit of shock.
Chang Geng met his gaze with a half sour smile: "Don't be surprised, adoptive father, the whole Daliang can't find anyone who knows more about you than me."
Gu Yun: ""
This kind of young man who does not eat hard and soft, and is particularly difficult to deal with, is really difficult to deal with. He cannot be beaten, scolded, coaxed, and persuaded. However, after choking for a while, Gu Yun suddenly had an idea, and decisively played his "heartless, heartless, Faceless and skinless" Dafa turned his head and said sternly, "Why, are you teasing your foster father?"
Chang Geng was caught off guard by him, and plain white Guangxiu spilled a bowl of water on the table.
Gu Dashuai, who is invincible in a hundred battles, has nothing to do with this small victory, and waved his hand very gracefully: "Continue talking."
Chang Geng came back quickly, although he was startled by Gu Yun, but at the same time he was a little relieved - even if the sky fell, that person would always be alive and kicking.
"If it were me, I would continue to pressurize the borders of the ancient Silk Road with heavy troops, especially heavy armor and chariots," Chang Geng said, "Murderously pressing towards Xuan Tie Ying, ready to attack at any time, the foster father is not there In the army, General He is most likely to have a high suspension bridge, and he would not dare to send troops on his own initiative.
Gu Yun frowned.
"When Xuantieying sent a request for help, it must be because the border is in a hurry, and no one will take it lightly. Although the drumming order has already passed through the southern border, in just a few months, its prestige is not enough to order the whole territory, so reinforcements are very likely. They will jump over the Ministry of War." Chang Geng stared at the mottled chessboard, "But if I remember correctly, when the prince of Beiman attacked Yan back to the town, the Beijiang city defense army was cleaned by his adoptive father—you It can be said that he did not deliberately put people into it, but I am afraid that those who treat the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain will not believe that there is also the elder brother of General Cai, the commander of the Central Plains heavy army, who is the direct line of the old Houye. "
"In this way, among the five major military regions in Daliang, the southwest is no longer needed. General Shen used to be your armorer, and the Western Regions was the station of the Xuantie Camp. It was lawless, and dared to detain the Northwest Protector in a grand manner. Order, Xuan Tie Ying asked for help together, and then we privately led the army." Chang Geng grabbed a handful of chess pieces and threw them on the chessboard with a flick of his sleeve.
There is no need to say more about the latter-
Emperor Li Feng would probably realize more suddenly that Gu Yun's concession on the drumming order was all a "scam".
Chang Geng's eyes were deep and deep: "Can my foster father listen to me?"
Gu Yun: "Speak."
Chang Geng: "First, immediately send Xuan Ying to send a letter to General Cai, so that he must not move without order. Even if General Cai decides to send troops, he will have to form a team and prepare baggage. It is very likely that he will be able to catch up now."
Gu Yun immediately asked back: "Why didn't you send a letter to the Beijiang City Defense Army?"
Chang Geng replied without changing his face: "Because the adoptive father only has one Xuanying, he can only bet once. Since the northern barbarians are likely to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, I can understand that General He cannot ignore it, so he is most likely to Staying away from the near and far - after Xuan Ying returns to the northwest camp, he must tell General He to be safe and not be impatient, and he does not need to listen to the drumming orders, but he must not punish the Northwest Protector too severely."
Gu Yun: "The third?"
"Thirdly," Chang Geng said slowly, "I would like to ask my adoptive father to submit a letter to the emperor before the news of his presence on the ancient Silk Road reaches the capital, and find a reason to give him the seal of command. It is clear that you will not be involved in military affairs from now on, and at the same time, you have clearly communicated with the emperor. You only said that the safety of the northwest is of great importance. Before you left, you explained to your subordinates. The group of dragons has no leader, so please find someone to take over as soon as possible."
Taking a step back can not only avoid its edge, but even save He Ronghui, who has committed the following crimes.
In fact, Chang Geng still wanted to say, "This is the last resort, it can only be a little bit to ease the delay, and the symptoms will not be cured," but he intuitively thought that Gu Yun might not like to hear it, so he swallowed it in the end.
Gu Yun was silent for a long time.
Suddenly, his thoughts ran away, and he couldn't help thinking of the child he picked up from the wolf's mouth in the goose feather snow outside the customs that year.
At the beginning, Shen Yi fooled Chang Geng into saying that it was a coincidence, but it wasn't.
At that time, they had their own eyeliners in the northern frontier. After Gu Yun took the emperor's life, he actually found Xiuniang first, but only when he found out that she had contacts with the barbarians, he didn't panic.
At that time, Gu Yun himself was not very old, and he was a little bit sloppy in his mouth and was incapable of handling affairs. His eyes were all fixed on the barbarian. Chang Geng actually ran out of the gate alone, so he panicked and quickly chased out with Shen Yi.
As soon as Gu Yun closed his eyes now, he could still remember what Chang Geng looked like back then—he was covered in wounds and was so skinny that he miraculously survived the snowstorm and the wolf's kiss until they arrived.
Gu Yun wrapped him in a big cloak, which was so light that he could pick it up with one hand. He felt like he was hugging a dying chick, for fear of strangling him if his hands were too strong.
And if you don't stay, people have grown so big.
Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, Chang Geng couldn't help but ask, "Foster father?"
Gu Yun tilted his head slightly, the color under the lamp was almost gentle for a moment, Chang Geng's heart jumped fiercely.
Maybe it was the mouthful of blood Chang Geng vomited when it was time to be frightened and angry, or maybe it was because of the anxiety in the next few days. In short, although Gu Yun felt that this was ridiculous, helpless and disturbing, he did not get angry as he imagined.
Gu Yun: "I see, you should rest early."
Chang Geng heard his expulsion order, and immediately got up and left.
Gu Yun: "Wait."
He lowered his eyes and seemed to hesitate for a moment: "You will tell me, I hope you can do whatever you want, right?"
Chang Gengyuan's hand to open the door stretched into the air, his fingers curled slightly.
Gu Yun: "I don't want you to go far, and I don't want you to force yourself to do something. The foster father just wants you to be well."
Chang Geng froze for a moment, then fled without saying a word.
Gu Yun calmly picked up the half-jug of wine he had just left, tested the temperature, took a sip to the mouth of the jug leisurely, and said in his heart, "Little brat, still can't cure you?"
