Qianqianjie, kidnap a reborn prince back to the modern era
Chapter 309 Gu Chong Raises an Army
After returning to the General's Mansion, Gu Chong met the guard who came from Moore City to deliver the letter.
He recognized him as the guard beside His Royal Highness Prince Ji.
"Are Prince Ji and Auntie all right?"
He was still thinking about the dream that day and couldn't help but ask.
"To reply to the General, everything is fine."
Gu Chong unfolded the letter with a look of surprise.
Have we finally waited for this day?
In the letter, Prince Ji asked him to gather his confidants and set off for Moore City immediately, and work together with them to drive Ling Xiao off the throne.
"Didn't your father ask you to bring a letter?"
He suppressed his inner excitement.
My father would receive a letter every half month, but today is already the 17th and no letter has come yet. He is a little uneasy.
"No, I came here directly from the Hunting Festival this time. Prince Ji did not allow me to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so I don't know if the Prime Minister has given any instructions."
He lowered his head and replied, feeling a little nervous.
"Oh! Hunting Festival. Are they organizing a hunting festival so early this year?"
Gu Chong didn't care and asked casually.
"I don't know, but the time is about the same."
He answered vaguely.
He remembered that before leaving, Emperor Xiling told him that if he spoke more, he would make more mistakes; if he spoke less, he would make fewer mistakes; and if he spoke nothing, he would make no mistakes.
"Is there anything special happening in Moore City recently?"
Gu Chong always had a feeling of uneasiness in his gut, especially the dream that day, which he found very weird.
"I don't think anything is wrong. Everything is normal."
"Okay! Go down and have a rest."
"Thank you, General."
After saluting, the guard left the tent and rested under the arrangement of the messenger.
At noon, Gu Chong invited five deputy generals to the military camp and handed them the letter from King Ji.
"General, we will make arrangements right away and take our men back immediately."
"In the Northern Border Barracks, there are about 100,000 trusted soldiers directly under our command. Are we going to take them all back this time?"
Several deputy generals were extremely excited.
Half of the 200,000-strong army in the entire military camp were assimilated by them and only obeyed Gu Chong's orders. The Northern Border Army had long since become the Gu Family Army in its true sense.
"It's enough to take away 80,000 people. Gu Feng has 20,000 people. Together, we have 100,000 people, which exceeds the number of soldiers in the military department. Moreover, our combat power is far higher than those soldiers guarding the capital. If we really fight, they will be no match for us."
Gu Chong kept the letter close to his body, but the moment he pressed it against his chest, he felt his heart inexplicably stop beating.
He tried his best to relax and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"General, we must gather our troops and prepare to set out immediately. This time we must help His Royal Highness Prince Ji take the throne."
Gu Chong suppressed the discomfort in his heart and regained his composure.
"Okay, the five of you go and recruit the troops separately. Speed is of the essence. We will set out at midnight tomorrow night and arrive at Moore City in seven or eight days. Then we will kill him to pieces."
"Leader!"
There was no disturbance. After a short rest for a day, the guard listened to the noise in the barracks. There was a constant clamor of footsteps and the number of people was so large that he was stunned.
Your Majesty’s guess is correct.
This army completely fell into the hands of the Gu family. Fortunately, this incident happened so quickly that Prime Minister Gu was completely unprepared. Otherwise, if these 200,000 troops set out to attack Moore City, it would be hard to say who would win or lose!
He waited anxiously for a day.
Soon, the messenger informed him that the 80,000-strong army would set out at midnight tonight and asked him to follow the team.
Gu Chong left a deputy general in the military camp to continue to control the army in case of backup.
The other four, each with 20,000 troops, marched separately and gathered outside the Moorish city. They followed orders to jointly encircle the Moorish city from four directions and strive to win in one fell swoop.
Little did they know that their every move was promptly transmitted back to Moore City by the guards and accompanying secret guards.
At the same time as they started, Xilingyuan's army guarding the border of Dongcang Kingdom was divided into four teams, each with 50,000 soldiers, to meet the troops from the northern border and wait for their arrival thousands of miles away from Moore City.
On the night of the fifth day, when the Northern soldiers were staggering in the clearing in the woods, the Eastern army quietly surrounded them. When torches as bright as day were lit, they awakened all the Northern soldiers.
"Put down your weapons, you are surrounded.
Let me tell you a piece of news: the Gu family is gone.
More than 280 people in Prime Minister Gu's mansion, including servants and maids, were beheaded at Caishikou ten days ago.
And the Prince Ji Lingji, whom you want to promote, and his mother, Concubine Gu, have both been beheaded.
Including the fifth princess, all were stabbed to death by King Ji's sword.
So if you lay down your weapons now and continue to be soldiers of Xiling, His Majesty promises to forgive you for the past.
But if you insist on resisting, we are the garrison troops in the East Border. We have 50,000 soldiers surrounding your team, which is more than twice as many as your 20,000 soldiers. You should consider whether you have any chance of winning.
We don't want to kill each other. We are all citizens of Xiling. I advise you to recognize the situation and stop following Gu Chong's willful behavior."
The voice of the general leading the troops with his inner strength spread throughout the mountains and forests. Most of the soldiers and generals in the North did not know why they were marching to Moore City. In short, they just did whatever the general told them to do. But they were confused when they heard these words.
"What? Are we going to Moore City to rebel?"
"The Gu family is gone?"
"Prince Ji Lingji is dead?"
"King Ji is dead, what's the point of our rebellion?"
"Prime Minister Gu's entire family is dead, why should we follow him down this path of no return?"
The soldiers' voices became louder and louder, until they became so loud that the mountain birds resting in the forest were forced to flap their wings and fly away.
"Is everything you said true?"
The soldiers raised questions and made their final dying struggle.
“If it wasn’t true, how could we know your route and set out in advance to wait for you here.
Your every move is under His Majesty's control. The person who delivered the letter was also His Majesty's man. When the letter was delivered, Prime Minister Gu and his son had already been detained. Your communication with Moore City had been cut off. Don't you have this point yet?"
The deputy general leading the team was a little nervous and frightened.
The Gu family collapsed?
really?
Are Prince Ji and Queen Mother Gu also dead?
Then what are they fighting for?
Who are you fighting for?
"Can I ask you why?"
Seeing that the general who claimed to be the commander of the Eastern Territory spoke so calmly, the deputy general had already believed it for the most part, but he still wanted to understand what it was all about.
Logically speaking, Prime Minister Gu is so cunning and treacherous that he shouldn't have disappeared without a sound!
"That's a good question! His Majesty said that when you get here, he can tell you the real reason.
Prime Minister Gu and his son and the Fifth Princess deliberately plotted to murder His Majesty the King of Dongcang and Princess Nanqi who came to negotiate at the hunting festival, which almost caused a war between the three kingdoms of Xiling, Nanqi and Dongcang.
The crime was committed at the hunting ground, confirmed in front of everyone, and the man was detained on the spot.
When they searched the Prime Minister's Mansion, they found the dragon robe they had prepared for Prince Ji.
The crime of murdering an envoy and the crime of treason are punished together, and the nine generations of the clan are executed.
If you still don't believe me, I have Gu Feng's head here, and the three teams over there are carrying the heads of Prime Minister Gu, Ling Ji, and Concubine Gu respectively. Now you will believe it, right?"
The general of the Eastern Territory immediately ordered his men to throw Gu Feng's head over.
The soldiers and generals from the Northern Territory were horrified, but most of them recognized Gu Feng and immediately believed the opposing general's statement.
No wonder there was no news before. It turned out that the crime of murdering the envoy was committed at the Hunting Festival, and it was Emperor Dongcang and Princess Nanqi.
Which fool committed such a heinous crime and was discovered on the spot? It seems that Prime Minister Gu and his son were strangled without any preparation.
But, but, what should these people do?
