[Red Mansion] His mouth was opened

The night was deeper.

The snow stopped at an unknown time.

Everyone in the camp had already dispersed.

General Chen had already left with the help of his own soldiers. He drank ten jars of wine tonight, so much that all the generals couldn't help applauding.

When only Jia Huan, Tu Henglu, Xin Shaoxin and others were left in the camp, Gu Dingguo took the hangover tea handed over by his own soldiers, and drank it heartily before the drunkenness faded a little.

He left his seat in person, walked up to Jia Huan, and made a big salute with a long bow.

How could Jia Huan accept his gift? After avoiding it sideways, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Gu Dingguo, "General Gu made such a great gift, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the lower official? How can the lower official accept such a great gift from General Gu?" "

Gu Dingguo shook his head and said: "Mr. Jia's words are wrong. Mr. Jia has made great contributions to the country. For the sake of the current situation, he has wronged Mr. Jia before others know it. This gift is to thank Mr. Jia for taking care of the overall situation. Mr. Jia Accept it, why should you be ashamed?"

Although Gu Dingguo said so, Jia Huan still refused to accept his gift. Compared with Gu Dingguo's contribution, his contribution is nothing more than the light of a firefly.

Xin Shaoxin saw that the old and the young held their own opinions, so he said: "General Gu, why don't I salute on your behalf, besides, I also want to thank Mr. Jia."

Gu Dingguo nodded slightly. Everyone knew that Xin Shaoxin was cultivated by him. Although the two of them did not have the title of master and apprentice, they had the reality of master and apprentice. It was not rash to let Xin Shaoxin salute on his behalf.

Jia Huan saw that Gu Dingguo had taken a step back, and it would be a bit hypocritical to be humble, so he accepted Xin Shaoxin's gift graciously.

After saluting earnestly, Xin Shaoxin said: "Lord Jia, due to the current situation, we must not tell everyone about Master Jia's serious injury to Tubalu. In the future, our army will defeat the barbarians, and the general will return the credit to the army." Master Jia."

He spoke earnestly, with a cold expression on his face, and the few scars on his face showed the true character of a tough man.

Jia Huan couldn't help admiring Xin Shaoxin in his heart, he couldn't complain that General Gu picked him out of so many people, this person has a pure heart, really admirable!Seriously injuring Tubalu for such a great achievement, others won the credit, how can anyone be willing to share with others, let alone give up the credit!

Xin Shaoxin is really aboveboard!

Jia Huan didn't say anything more, if he refused, it would be his fault. As for how to tell the matter in front of the palace in the future, he has his own way, so as not to damage Xin Shaoxin's achievements, but also not to damage his own interests.

After this matter was over, everyone discussed the next plan by candlelight.

Xu Tuxiu had been thinking for a long time tonight, and at this time he said eloquently: "The barbarian's food and grass have been burned by Chengji. Even if there is any leftover, there must not be much. I think that within ten days, the barbarian must be stretched. It’s a good thing, but we have to prevent the barbarians from jumping over the wall in a hurry.”

Everyone nodded, Xu Tuxiu's words were reasonable, a rabbit would bite a man even if he was so hungry, let alone a barbarian.

"According to my opinion, in the next few days, we need to relax externally and tighten internally. On the one hand, we will send spies to keep an eye on the movements of the barbarians. On the other hand, we will take this opportunity to recuperate and train hard. We must not have the desire to underestimate the enemy." Heng Lu said.

Gu Dingguo nodded thoughtfully, "Your Highness's plan is very good."

Jia Huan was listening, and suddenly asked: "General Gu, I don't understand something, and I would like to ask General Gu to explain it for me."

"Hehe, Mr. Jia is not an outsider. If you have anything to ask, just ask. If the old man can answer, he will naturally know everything and say everything." Gu Dingguo said.

Jia Huan said: "The burning of the barbarian's food and grass is a happy event. Why don't the soldiers in the army know about it? If they know about it, their morale will be boosted."

Everyone also nodded, and Jia Huan's doubts were exactly their doubts.

Gu Dingguo was silent for a moment, then sighed quietly, and said: "Even if Mr. Jia doesn't ask about this matter, the old man should tell His Highness and you all."

Seeing Gu Dingguo's serious face, everyone couldn't help but look worried.

"When the old man talked with His Highness earlier, he mentioned that he suspected that there were barbarian traitors in the army." Gu Dingguo paused, and then said seriously: "This has been confirmed."

Everyone's heart suddenly turned cold. It was just a guess before. Although everyone was worried, they didn't really take this matter to heart after all. Now that this matter has been confirmed, they can't help but think of it. as a result of.

No one dared to imagine how much damage a traitor, an unknown traitor, would cause to the army.

This is the time when the two armies are at war, and if the military situation is leaked, countless casualties will be caused in a blink of an eye, not to mention the important supplies such as food, grass, and weapons. If the other party knows where these supplies are, the losses caused will be immeasurable.

The joy in everyone's hearts just now faded away like a tide, and their backs felt cold.

"Everyone, don't worry, the old man has already guessed who that person is. The reason why he didn't tell everyone about the burning of the barbarian's food and grass is to create a situation-please enter the urn!" Gu Dingguo resolutely said loudly said.

Only then did everyone understand Gu Dingguo's calculations. For such a major event as the barbarian's food and grass being burned, they must contact the traitor, but Gu Dingguo kept the matter hidden. It will come to light naturally.

Ginger is still old and spicy.

After Jia Huan understood Gu Dingguo's plan, he couldn't help feeling emotional.

Seeing that Gu Dingguo had already figured things out, everyone felt more at ease, and discussed how to deal with the barbarians.

They didn't go back until the third watch.

"Eldest Prince, a letter from Khan!" He Liqing was sitting cross-legged in the tent, and when he heard this, he shook his fingers, and the water in the tea cup actually spilled a little, which showed that he was feeling uneasy at this moment.

Baihe saw it, and felt a little disdainful in his heart. Although Heliqing had some ability, he lost in his character, otherwise why is he still afraid of Khan to this day? In this regard, the unlucky Tubalu is better than him much.

"Come in." He Liqing put the teacup on the table, feeling uneasy inside, and said calmly.

The soldier holding the letter walked into the tent and presented the envelope respectfully.

He Liqing opened the envelope with trembling hands, and his face turned pale after seeing the reprimands in the letter.

Although he had guessed in advance that his father and queen would be furious about Tubalu's death, he did not expect Khan to ask Heliqing directly what his intentions were in the letter!

He Liqing suffered from being dumb this time.

Even if someone can testify that Tubalu's death had nothing to do with him, that he died at the hands of Da'an people, the facts are not important, what matters is whether others believe it or not!

And the khan and the queen are the ones who don't believe.

He Liqing clenched his fists and crumpled the letter paper in his hand. He pursed his lips tightly and looked anxious. That is to say, this time he was leading the army outside. If he was by Khan's side now, he would have been severely punished!

"Mr. Bai! Things can't be delayed any longer!" He Liqing made up his mind and bowed to Bai He, "Please also ask Mr. Bai to help me. His Japanese king will definitely regard Mr. Bai as his prime minister."

Bai He's breathing was a bit short of breath. He fled from Da'an back to Manzi. He Liqing hadn't given him any promises, but today he let go. How could he not be upset.

After settling his mind, Bai He suppressed the joy in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "The eldest prince is polite, and the little man must do his best."

He Liqing got his accurate words, and felt a little more at ease.

He waved his hand to signal Bai He to go out.

Bai He didn't say much, he walked out of the tent, he quickly walked back to his own tent, after a while, a person came out from the barracks, looking at the direction he was going, he seemed to be on A Niang Mountain.

Today, a rare calm.

Even the heavens were beautiful, when a big sun came out, the snow on the ground melted and mixed with mud and blood, it looked filthy instead.

Jia Huan was reading the book of war in the tent, and from time to time he could hear the cheerful chatter and laughter of the soldiers outside, and a smile appeared on his face. It will be possible for everyone to know about it, but it will be a matter of time.

Thinking of this, Jia Huan's mind became active again. These days, when he arrived in the frontier, he had not sent a letter to Beijing. Today is a rare time for him to write a letter home, so that his mother and sister can rest assured.

Since he had this idea, he immediately wrote a letter to his family. In the letter, he only said that he had won a battle recently. Although the frontier was cold, he had all the clothes with him, so he didn't feel that cold. After thinking about it, he said Tell Aunt Zhao not to be stingy, just spend the money that should be spent, and if you encounter any troubles, go to the shopkeeper Bai to discuss it...

He wrote all afternoon, and unknowingly wrote a full dozen or so sheets of paper. It wasn't until the light in the tent was dim that he couldn't read the words that he realized that it was getting late.

After lighting the candle, Jia Huan read the letter again, realizing that there was nothing in it that would worry Aunt Zhao, so she put the letter paper in an envelope and sealed it.

Leaving aside the fact that after the letter arrived in the capital, Aunt Zhao and the others were both resentful and happy, unable to sleep.

Tonight, some people tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep.

The members of the Baihe faction felt that they had hooked up with the traitor without anyone noticing, thinking that no one knew about it.

But he didn't want to, Gu Dingguo was doing calculations with his heart and no intentions. He knew that the path on Aniang Mountain was known by the barbarians, so he had arranged for his cronies to watch the path day and night. His confidantes set his sights on this man.

After seeing the man's sneaky expression, he quietly approached Da'an's tent.

The confidant knew that the big fish had already taken the bait, so he followed that person from a distance. The person Gu Dingguo picked out was naturally a good player, otherwise he would not have been able to hide for so many days.

Therefore, when the confidant recognized the person who approached him, although he was shocked, he was able to hold his heart and hide in place for half a day before leaving.

This is also a reflection of his cautiousness. After the contact person left, he actually came back to patrol around. If he hadn't stayed hidden, he might really have exposed his whereabouts.

After confirming that the traitor could not come back again, the cronies crept out of the hiding place and looked at the direction in which the traitor left. Unexpectedly, the traitor turned out to be this person!

No wonder they searched for months, but they couldn't find out where the traitor was.

The confidant calmed down, packed up his whereabouts, and then went back to the barracks in the dark, and informed Gu Dingguo of the matter.

Gu Dingguo was silent for a long time. Although he had already guessed that it might be that person, but after confirming it, Gu Dingguo felt extremely uncomfortable. He paced back and forth in the tent, forgetting to look down. Kneeling cronies.

The confidant also knew that General Gu must be very worried at this time, so he waited silently and knowingly.

"Thank you for your hard work, go and rest." After a long time, Gu Dingguo came back to his senses. He personally helped up his cronies and patted him on the shoulder affectionately.

"It's not hard, General," the confidant replied, and couldn't help but look up at Gu Dingguo, "General, this matter needs to be decided as soon as possible."

Gu Dingguo nodded, "Don't worry, I have my own plans."

The confidant stopped talking and stepped back calmly.

After the cronies left, Gu Dingguo showed a sad and depressed expression. He sat on the chair, stared at the crackling candles, and mumbled, "Chen Taihui, alas! Why is it you!"

Although Chen Taihui didn't get along well with him, he also served the country. Gu Dingguo had always regarded him as a friend in his heart. Therefore, several times when Chen Taihui made great achievements and caused disasters, General Gu always looked at it for the sake of serving the country. He concealed it.

Unexpectedly, a giant mouse was raised under his nose!

The last time when Chen Taihui led the army and was trapped by the barbarians, Gu Dingguo had doubts, but firstly, there was no evidence, and secondly, he was unwilling to believe this in his heart, so he kept observing with cold eyes.

Now it seems that his guess is not wrong at all!

Chen Taihui, what are you thinking!

Old General Gu raised his head and sighed.

What Chen Taihui was thinking, no one knew better than himself.

At this moment, he was lying on the bed, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.

His mind was filled with countless thoughts, such as the fact that the grain and grass were burned, did Gu Dingguo know about it?If he knew, why didn't he tell everyone?If not, who did it?Also, is Bai He's strategy reliable?Can it work!just in case……

When he thought of the eventuality, he couldn't help shivering.

Both of Chen Taihui's parents died when he was young, and he almost starved to death. It was the barbarian Khan who saved his life. In order to repay the kindness of the Khan, he was willing to work for the Khan.

But after so many years of living in a high position, although the frontier is chaotic, he is in a high position and enjoys everything he should enjoy. He is no longer willing to die for others.

There is no case!

Chen Taihui shook his head, and suppressed the worries that were surging up like foam in his heart, he took a deep breath, when he promised Khan back then, it was destined that something like today would happen, whether he wanted it or not, he would He can only follow Bai He's plan, otherwise he will die if something happens.

Chen Taihui made up his mind, got up and lit the candle, and looked at the sand table by the light of the candle.

His eyes fell on A Niang Mountain, his expression solemn.

"General Chen and all generals, Old General Gu is here to invite you." The next day, Chen Taihui was looking at the sand table when he heard a sound from outside the tent.

He was startled, looked at the other generals, laughed loudly and said: "What's the matter with this old Gu, anyway, you all go with the old man for a while."

Chen Taihui remained calm on the face, but his heart was beating a bit.

However, after arriving at Gu Dingguo's tent, Chen Taihui felt relieved.

He laughed loudly, clapped his hands and said, "I never thought that Mr. Jia, who is young and talented, can come up with such an ingenious plan!"

It turned out that he set the fire!

Gu Dingguo stroked his mustache, nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes, this morning, when Mrs. Jia came to inform the old man, the old man was also taken aback, so he quickly ordered the spies to investigate and found that not only the grain and grass had been burned, but also the old man. Tubalu was also burned."

Everyone took a deep breath.

Good guy, he was able to make such a contribution!

Jia Huan seemed to be very shy. He scratched the back of his head, "Generals Gu and General Chen are highly praised. If there is no cooperation from General Xin and Brother Song, how can this plan be carried out smoothly? General Xin and Song are also responsible for this plan. brother's portion."

Xin Shaoxin folded his fists and bent down, "General Gu, the last general didn't get the exact news yesterday, so he didn't dare to tell the general about it. He was afraid that he would be happy in vain. He dared to tell the general when he got the report from the spies early this morning. Please The general will punish."

"What are you guilty of? What did the old man punish you for? You are right to be so cautious." Gu Dingguo looked at Xin Shaoxin appreciatively.

Chen Taihui didn't say a word, thinking in his heart, it turned out that the three of them did this together, and even Gu Dingguo was kept in the dark, that's why Gu Dingguo didn't mention it at all yesterday.

It seems that this time it was just a means used by these three people to make meritorious service, but that Jia Huan was really lucky, he originally wanted to go into the barbarian to find out information, but he took this opportunity to burn food and grass!

Tu Hengding's face turned blue and white, and Zhang Wenxiu gave him a look, signaling him to restrain his thoughts.

He sighed in a low voice, stroked the teacup, looking depressed.

Could it be that I am really inferior to the old sixteen?
