I give the princess a sip

Gu Lian, who was training the girl, saw Qiao Mingyu coming, temporarily ended the training of the smiling tiger, and let Zhuxiang go.

"Why are you here?" Gu Lian poured her a glass of water, "Have you been thirsty for so long? Are you hungry?"

Qiao Mingyu was excited, but she wasn't hungry at all. After drinking two glasses of water, she looked radiant.

"Ah Lian, am I particularly good today?"

Gu Lian pursed her lips and smiled: "That's right, Mingyu impresses me today."

Qiao Mingyu immediately became proud, even someone as good as Ah Lian said she was good.

"Ming Yu doesn't need to watch from the front?" Gu Lian asked.

"It doesn't matter, the Xiongnu won't make any more troubles today." It's embarrassing to be embarrassed.

Gu Lian nodded: "Then tomorrow's battle, are you sure?"

It's hard to say, Qiao Mingyu was a little hesitant since he had never seen the opponent's strength.Although victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, the contest between the generals is often related to the morale of the two armies. If they lose, the loss will be great.

Seeing this, Gu Lian held her hand and gave her support: "Don't worry, I think the leader's skill in going down the tower should be on par with yours. The outcome is hard to tell, and you can play with him to your heart's content." Yes."

"Really?" Qiao Mingyu's eyes lit up.

If, as she said, she was as skilled as the leader, then she would have no pressure.In a short period of time, none of them can win the other, and she can completely enjoy herself by playing with her temper.In order not to watch the battle every day, my hands are itchy, and the enemy is too weak to fight.

Gu Lian nodded with a smile. She has been in the arena for so many years, it is hard to say anything else, she still has the eyesight to judge the strength of others.

Before, the leader deliberately jumped directly from the tower in order to boost his momentum, and he didn't hide his clumsiness.What he had to do at that time was to defeat Qiao Mingyu with the fastest speed and strongest strength. It would be best if he could kill him, but it didn't matter if he couldn't.Because only when Qiao Mingyu's strength crushed him, can morale rise again.The more powerful he was than Qiao Mingyu, the better it would be for their own morale growth.

Therefore, he did not deliberately show weakness at that time.

With this short display of skill, Gu Lian dared to say that she knew [-]% to [-]% of the opponent's strength.That's why she dared to stand up to stop him, and walked slowly over to provoke him.Even if the man tried to fight her immediately, she still had the confidence to defeat him.

With Gu Lian's promise, Qiao Mingyu felt much relieved.She cheerfully clasped Gu Lian's hand tightly: "Ah Lian, it's good to have you here."

It was the first time that Qiao Mingyu officially led the army, and Qiao Mingyu was actually a little apprehensive.

Seeing her like this, Gu Lian thought of himself back then, with a group of miscellaneous soldiers, and he didn't feel any anxiety.The miscellaneous army was just like her, heartless and heartless. Before setting off, they chatted and laughed wildly, blatantly declaring that they would wipe out all the enemies, especially the leader of the opponent.At that time, they were young and energetic, and they were not afraid of the sky and the earth at all. If they thought about dying, they would die. Anyway, they had walked the rivers and lakes once, and they had already lived enough.Death on the battlefield can still be praised by others, earning money!

As a result, when the battle ended, only one out of ten people survived. Too many comrades died on that battlefield, and some of them couldn't even find their bodies.What's more, the body has been trampled several times by horseshoes and enemies, and it has long been impossible to recognize who is who.

Gu Lian sighed softly, not knowing how many of her old friends survived on the battlefield.

Qiao Mingyu didn't know why Gu Lian was suddenly unhappy, she hurriedly hugged Gu Lian: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I thought of a group of old people." Gu Lian said softly, Qiao Mingyu knew her background, but Gu Lian didn't tell her how she died, nor about the Anshi Rebellion.She only shared with Qiao Mingyu the happy things about her childhood and when she was in the rivers and lakes, and she didn't want to pass on her sadness and anger to Qiao Mingyu.

Most of Qiao Mingyu's life is simple and happy, Gu Lian just likes to see her happy forever.

Although Gu Lian didn't say it, Qiao Mingyu was not stupid. She probably guessed that Gu Lian had experienced a lot of unpleasant things.She didn't know how to comfort her, so she hugged her tightly and comforted her silently.

Gu Lian just sighed, not really sad.She smiled and pushed Qiao Mingyu away: "I'm fine, it's all over."

Qiao Mingyu didn't speak.

"I'll tell you those things next time, okay?" Gu Lian hurriedly coaxed.

Only then did Qiao Mingyu calm down, and he was relieved to see that Gu Lian was really not sad anymore.

"I'm hungry." Qiao Mingyu took her hand and said, trying to divert Gu Lian's attention.

Sure enough, Gu Lian was attracted, and she didn't notice Qiao Mingyu's careful thoughts at all. She got up and went to get the washed bracken: "Let me cook hot pot for you. I have eaten the same taste of boiled vegetables for a few days. Today I will change the taste for you." .”

Qiao Mingyu was happy, and followed to see.After thinking about it, Gu Lian decided to replace bracken with something else. After eating bracken for so many days, Qiao Mingyu must have gotten tired of it.

But it's not good to really cook hot pot right now, it's too extravagant to eat in the military camp, Gu Lian thought about it, adjusted the soup base and added vegetables to cook, cooked it and served it to Qiao Mingyu.Qiao Mingyu, who was not hungry at first, was just looking for an excuse, but when he smelled this smell, he was really hungry. He ate several big steamed buns with a small bowl of vegetables.

Gu Lian felt distressed looking at it, how could there be white rice to eat in the barracks, rice is so expensive, it would be nice to have porridge, most of them still eat white noodles.Gu Lian herself is from Bashu, and she is quite used to eating pasta, but she knows that Qiao Mingyu is a native of Huaijing, and she is used to eating rice.She is not used to eating too much pasta.

But at the moment, we can't get rice, so we can only endure it for the time being.

Gu Lian cooked a large pot of food, which was very tasty. Qiao Mingyu only needed a small bowl to eat as many big steamed buns as two bowls of rice. Others probably did the same.Gu Lian thought about it, and found someone to pack up the dishes and send some to each general.

In the barracks, apart from the chief general and partial general, there are also many young generals with lower positions.Low is only relative, and their status in the barracks is not low.Gu Lian sent these over in the name of Qiao Mingyu, so that they would be soft-spoken, and it would be more convenient for Qiao Mingyu in the future.

Most of these young generals climbed up from mud legs. There are few generals in the capital and the children of Guixun who go to the frontier to fight frequently.The general is okay, and he will send his children to other peaceful armies, but Gui Xun is all staring at the Imperial Guards and other capital defense forces. He is a close minister of the emperor, and he is safe and treated well, which is much better than going to the frontier to suffer.

Since he came out of the common people, it is inevitable that many people will look down on those people with backgrounds.I feel that they have no real skills and only rely on the back door.Although Qiao Mingyu is a princess, others may not trust her ability behind her back, and there are always people who gossip.

After eating and drinking, Qiao Mingyu lay lazily on the bed and refused to get up. She didn't know that Gu Lian had done so many things for her.She rested her head on Gu Lian's thigh, and Gu Lian massaged the acupuncture points on her head.

After a while, she felt very comfortable and her mind was much lighter.

Gu Lian gently massaged the acupoints until Qiao Mingyu fell asleep, then withdrew her hand and put her on the bed to lie down.The guy was so excited last night that he didn't sleep much at all.Anyway, the Xiongnu will be obedient today, so let Qiao Mingyu catch up on sleep.

Gu Lian called for Sudan to wait in the tent, and Qiao Mingyu was so disappointed that there was no one to wait after she woke up, so she went to the front and continued to stare.Although the Xiongnu basically won't come to make trouble again, just in case, it's better for her to come and watch.

Qiao Mingyu is not here, so everyone can feel at ease with her in charge.

After lunch, reorganize the infantry to draw Feather Arrow's fire.Gu Lian can't estimate how many arrows they still have at the moment, but it doesn't matter, it doesn't hurt to surround them for a few more days.There may be a day's delay in receiving the news from Hanyueguan, and it will take some time for the troops to come to support.

Gu Lian called several generals together, found a big camp nearby, and discussed the ambush plan together.

A lot of snow in the mountains and forests has melted, but there is still a lot left now.Qiao Mingyu and the others had consciously selected a large number of soldiers and prepared to send them to ambush.Gu Lian asked people to add bracken powder to their diet to strengthen their bodies.Now with thick clothes, it should not be frostbite.

"Actually, the ambush can be higher." Gu Lian said.

Qiao Mingyu went to a nearby ambush point to see it. The mountain is relatively high, and people passing by in the distance can't see the situation halfway up the mountain.Although the mountain is full of snow and trees with only branches, but after the altitude is high, no one can see people on the mountain.

"Then let the soldiers wear white robes over their armors. It doesn't need much thick cloth, it's just a covering effect." The mountain was so white that a group of people in white clothes couldn't detect it at all. "If there is more cloth, you can do it again." Some turban hat or something, to wrap the hair."

Zhuang Wang nodded: "It's good to have a high ambush, but will it affect the battle?"

"Should not."

The snow on the mountain is relatively thick, and stepping on it will not reveal the grass and mud below.The gap between the trees is large enough, and it is not difficult to rush down from the middle of the mountain, as long as you don't slip and fall.Gu Lian's idea is to let people inquire about the location of the Xiongnu's reinforcements at any time, while others lie in ambush at high places.Go up the mountain from the back of the mountain, and then go around to the front of the mountain, so that there are no footprints in front of the mountain.The scouts of the Xiongnu generally didn't think that they would ambush so high, they climbed a quarter of the way at most, and when they saw that there were no ambushes or footprints, they would leave in peace.

In this case, there is a high probability that the Xiongnu will lower their vigilance, and the effect of their ambush can be maximized.

"Wait until our scouts find that the Huns have entered the surrounding area, then go down the mountain and lie in ambush at a position suitable for rushing down the mountain. We stayed at the top before, so that we don't have to keep still all the time, and we can exercise properly to maintain body temperature, so as not to freeze the body. "

Gu Lianru said.
