The Nangong family is using the prophecy of the National Teacher Hall to clear the obstacles for themselves. I have to say that this trick seems to be nothing new, but it is very useful.
To revolt in ancient times, relying on the name of heaven is the safest operation.
A husband is a boat, and a man is a water. Water can carry a boat or capsize it.
Never underestimate the power of people's hearts.
Shangguan Yan's gaze passed over veteran Wang Man and landed on Wei Junting's face: "What do you think of General Wei?"
Wei Junting said with a dignified expression: "The Nangong family has seized a wave of opportunities. If we continue like this, we will lose more cities. It is easy for them to grab the past, but it is difficult for us to take them back."
The border cities are very particular, and they are supposed to prevent foreign enemies from invading, and they are all types that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.
In addition, the army of the Nangong family is waiting for work, and its combat power will definitely be even better.
Shangguan Yan looked at Gu Jiao again: "What do you think of Commander Xiao?"
Gu Jiao looked at the map on the table and pointed to the west of Yanmen Pass: "Liang's defenders have advanced a hundred feet to the border and have already crossed the border. Like us, the imperial army is on its way. We must seize the opportunity to retake Quyang before Liang's imperial army reaches the border!"
Shangguan Yan nodded in agreement.
Wang Man snorted disdainfully: "A child is a child, who would have thought of such a simple method? Why don't you think I said it?"
Gu Jiao thought about it seriously: "Are you cowardly?"
"Little Yellow Mouth!" Wang Man slapped the table and jumped up.
Wei Junting hurriedly stood up to stop him: "General Wang! General Wang! Calm down! Calm down!"
Shangguan Yan glanced at Wang Man without anger, and said, "General Wang, do you want to use force in front of Gu?"
Dare to scare my own daughter-in-law, I'm tired of living!
Wei Junting continued to be a peacemaker: "Commander Xiao is joking with General Wang. There are a lot of General Wang, don't care about the juniors."
"Humph!" Because of the presence of his wife, Wang Man reached a step, but reluctantly came down.
The two sat back on their cushions.
Shangguan Yan knew Gu Jiao, and Gu Jiao wouldn't talk nonsense. She could bring it up to prove that she already had a plan in mind.
However, Wang Man is not wrong, this strategy does have its infeasible.
Shangguan Yan pointed at the map and said: "We are in this place now, and to rush to Quyang City, it will take a month to march in a hurry, and it will take more than 20 days for a forced march. And Liang's army is not that far from the border, they are less than two It will be there in ten days.”
Gu Jiao said: "According to the speed of the entire army, it is true that it can't catch up, but Heifeng Rider can. Heifeng Rider only takes half a month to reach Quyang."
Shangguan Yan was slightly stunned: "You want to force a march?"
The cavalry is faster than the infantry, but in order to ensure the horse's combat power, it can't ride too fast. It takes 20 days or half a month to march in a hurry... That must be overdrawing the horse's physical strength.
"No, it's still a quick march." Gu Jiao pointed at the map and said, "It's a straight line through the mountains in Liuzhou, and it can reach Fengxian in Quyang!"
Wang Man said with dissatisfaction: "That mountain range is very dangerous! No army has ever walked through it!"
I walked by.
Gu Jiao said in her heart.
In the dream, Xuanyuan Army spent a lot of money to pass through that mountain range.
Not this time, she knew how to avoid those dangers.
Wang Man cupped his hands and said: "His Royal Highness! This is no trivial matter! I don't care what means he used to take the position of the commander of the Black Wind Rider, but fighting a war is no child's play. Fengying was buried in his hands!"
After all, the Black Wind Battalion is the most powerful fighting force on their side!
If this kid doesn't know how to command, just change someone to command!
Don't waste such good combat resources!
Shangguan Yan turned to look at Gu Jiao: "Are you sure?"
Mu Qingchen's eyes moved slightly.
It was as if she could hear the concubine's trust in Gu Jiao.
This puzzled him.
"I'm sure." Gu Jiao said firmly.
Shangguan Yan nodded: "That's good."
Wang Man's expression changed: "His Royal Highness!"
Shangguan Yan said: "Gu's heart has been decided, General Wang does not need to persuade him any more, and all the consequences will be borne by Gu."
Speaking of which, Wang Man couldn't stand to stop him. He couldn't draw a sword and force his wife to change her mind.
"Humph!"
He stood up, one hand behind his back, and the other patted back and forth on the outside of his thigh to vent his dissatisfaction, and then he walked away with a cold face!
Gu Jiao looked straight at him.
"It's like taking the battlefield as a joke! Xiao Liulang is like this, and so is his wife! I really don't know how Your Majesty would send a female generation to go on an expedition on his behalf! Does the royal family have no prince! King Li, King Xu, King En, which one is better than a waste She's been too strong!"
Wang Man only said that after leaving the tent.
But the people in the camp have good ears.
Wei Junting smiled awkwardly.
Shangguan Yan's expression didn't change much, she said to Wei Junting: "You step back, you have something to say to Commander Xiao."
"Yes, I will retire at the end." Wei Junting got up and saluted, then turned and walked out of the tent.
Mu Qingchen also got up.
Shangguan Yan said: "Mu Qingchen, you stay here, and Gu also has something to explain to you."
…
Half an hour later, Mu Qingchen and Gu Jiao came out of Shangguan Yan's tent.
At this time, it was completely dark, and the soldiers burned the fire and made dinner. After eating, it was time to rest and patrol.
The two walked on the path in the middle of the tent.
Master Hu came to greet him: "Sir! Have you eaten dinner? The little one left you some steamed buns!"
"I've eaten it." Gu Jiao said, "Let me eat it tomorrow morning."
Master Hu was stunned: "Ah, yes."
where can you eat? Can't I eat this by myself
Mu Qingchen frowned and looked at Gu Jiao: "I really don't understand you more and more."
Gu Jiao gave him a strange look: "You don't need to understand me."
Mu Qingchen was choked to death by her in one breath, and he was simply used to it.
As he walked side by side with her, he said, "I apologize to you about Nangong Li."
Although the Nangong family colluded with the prince and framed the real emperor's eldest grandson has not been announced to the world, as the heir of the ten great families, he has heard a little bit about it.
It's just that he didn't know that the eldest grandson of the emperor was Xiao Heng, and he really took it as Shangguan Qing.
Gu Jiao: "Oh."
Mu Qingchen said ashamedly: "Did you kill Nangong Li because you discovered his conspiracy? Forget it, it doesn't matter. In the past, because of this incident, I misunderstood you as someone with ulterior motives. It was my fault."
Gu Jiao actually didn't care about his misunderstanding, but he apologized so sincerely, if he didn't say a word, he was afraid that he would keep saying it.
Gu Jiao scratched her head: "I forgive you."
Mu Qingchen smiled slightly and stopped to look at her: "Then, are we still friends?"
Gu Jiao hesitated for a moment, rolled her eyes, and said reluctantly, "Yes, huh?"
What is a horn
Mu Qingchen was startled.
Gu Jiao spread her hands and said, "I'm your boss now, the superiors and subordinates cannot be surpassed. You must stick to your duty."
Mu Qingchen: "…"
Shangguan Yan was worried about her own daughter-in-law, and sent Mu Qingchen, who was supposed to protect her, to Gu Jiao's side, and asked him to go with Gu Jiao to Quyang to attack the city.
Gu Jiao is the leader.
He is a small follower.
Gu Jiao imitated Wang Man's official steps, and strode forward with one hand behind her back, while the other hand patted back and forth on the outside of her thigh impatiently.
"Humph!"
Not even the hum!
Mu Qingchen: "…"
The next day, before dawn, Gu Jiao ordered to go down and let all Heifeng ride out of the camp.
Shangguan Yan originally insisted on going with Gu Jiao, but Gu Jiao refused.
Shangguan Yan had eight vertebral screws stabbed in her back, and she had to wear armor when she traveled.
In addition, her status as an ether girl along the way can also collect a little more local troops. If there are no troops, at least a little more food and grass can be purchased.
This is a tough battle, and food and grass must be supplied.
The weather for the first three days of Heifengqi's departure was acceptable. On the fourth day, the army encountered a sudden autumn rain. Fortunately, Gu Jiao knew how to watch the stars and the weather at night, and arranged for everyone to avoid the rain in advance.
On the eleventh day, Heifengqi arrived at the foot of the Luding Mountains, the largest mountain range in Liuzhou.
Maps are useless here.
Since no one has entered this mountain range, there is no detailed map of it.
All stand by.
Along the way, their impression of Gu Jiao has changed, but they still have great reservations. The commanders of the Han family have been prettier than Gu Jiao, but what happened in the end
The Han family has betrayed.
They admit that the re-display of the Xuanyuan family's handsome flag is indeed encouraging.
But they, who have been disappointed too many times, have already calmed down from their initial excitement.
Perhaps, this is just a means of boosting morale.
Who would really fight for the Xuanyuan family
Isn't even the Nangong family using the name of the Xuanyuan family to seek personal gain
Everyone looked at the new commander, waiting for him to continue his nonsense.
They wanted to see, if they were trapped inside and couldn't get out, would this little commander cry in such a hurry.
Mu Qingchen glanced around and whispered to Gu Jiao, "Well, they don't seem to trust you very much."
Gu Jiao: "Oh."
Gu Jiao said to Mu Qingchen, "We have three days to cross the mountain range. After that, the entire army will be repaired for a day. We will attack the city without stopping in Feng County."
"Three days... is that enough?" Mu Qingchen looked at the endless mountain range, and thought that he would not be able to go out in the thirteenth day. No wonder the cavalry didn't trust his classmate, even he felt bad enough
Gu Jiao said, "If it's enough, we'll know when we leave. Boss, let's go!"
The forest is full of the howls of wild beasts, and horses can instinctively sense the dangers in the jungle.
However, just as Gu Jiao trusted Heifeng King wholeheartedly, Heifeng King also unreservedly trusted his companions.
The Black Wind King raised his front hooves, jumped, easily crossed the six-foot-wide ditch, and walked into the dense forest without looking back.
Black Wind Riding Baby No. 1: "The boss is gone."
Black Wind Riding Baby No. 2: "Then, let's go too?"
The cavalrymen who didn't want to leave: "... You may not believe it when you say it. My horse has its own ideas."
