Qi Kuo

Chapter 2

The news of Khanba's attack spread like a raging fire throughout Taihe, but people were not panicked. After all, everyone felt that as long as the National Defense Army was still there, they would not be able to withstand much threat.

While rubbing his temples, Gu Zhi listened to Prime Minister Jiang's rhetoric, feeling a little bored.

After talking for so long, I didn't have many words to focus on the topic, and the proposed solution was exactly the same as the previous ones that dealt with other different methods and regions.It made him really annoyed.

However, Jiang Buqing is an old official who came down from his father's generation, so he can't say anything serious, even if he wants to change the dynasty, he must take it step by step, and there is no rush.

After listening to his long speech, Gu Zhi nodded slightly, and said, "I see, Jiang Aiqing should go down, this matter will be discussed tomorrow morning."

Although Jiang Buqing was dissatisfied with his attitude, there was nothing he could do.

Status is often the biggest measure of whether a person has the right to decide what he can say.

Obviously, he doesn't have any initiative in this matter that can excite him.

On the second day, when the sun was shining, Gu Zhi was already sitting in the court hall, listening to the countermeasures and plans of the ministers for the current frontier war.There are only three things: either let the generals of the Quartet draw some soldiers to go to the northern border to help Huaining who is in dire straits, or let Huaining defend himself first, and they send troops from the capital to garrison, or let Huaining The National Defense Army went directly.

Gu Zhi felt a bit of a headache.So he waved his hand, and Eunuch Hua next to him immediately understood, and said in a low voice: "The emperor has something to say, please be quiet."

It may be that Eunuch Hua's voice was too loud, and the noisy hall immediately quieted down.One by one, they raised their hands and bowed to Gu Zhi who was rubbing his forehead with one hand.Waiting for Gu Zhi to speak.

Gu Zhi was indescribably hopeless, he hadn't been in a good mood these past few days.As a result, the leak in the room coincided with the continuous night rain, and incidents of beating and beating followed one after another, which annoyed him very much.But when Chen Ke came back from the war a year ago, he took leave and went home to "retire". Not only did he fail to attend his coronation ceremony, but he even knew his name through his gray message.It really sucks at his heart.

So he put down his hands and called out Lin Zheng, who was wandering beside him now, and said in a tired voice: "Lin Zheng, you and Hu Chen, go and call Chen Ke out for me... and then call the National Defense Army to gather ... In six days, I will see Chen Ke standing on the general platform!"

Lin Zheng, who was dressed in black, stood out from a group of civil servants, his eyes were stern, but his demeanor was rare and gentle. At first glance, he didn't look like a general, but a civil servant.His voice was neither salty nor weak, without ups and downs, as if he had guessed it a long time ago: "Chen, take orders."

After finishing speaking, he pulled Hu Chen, who was still thinking about himself and didn't hear anything, and retreated out.

So far, Gu Zhi has no intention of continuing this court.After letting Eunuch Hua finish speaking, he drove back to his bedroom.

A woman in white gauze sat beside the desk, watching him step in with heavy steps.So she smiled, and without getting up to salute, she put down the pen in her hand, and waved to him again, with a gentle tone: "What's the matter? Chen Ke wrote a letter to provoke you again?"

The maids who were serving at the side saw the emperor came back, so they hurriedly retreated after saluting. Usually, at such times, they would retreat by themselves without the emperor speaking.

Gu Zhi was a little unconvinced by this sentence, walked around behind her, put his hands around her waist, put his head on the shoulder of the person in his arms, and said slowly with a somewhat annoyed tone: "Why do you often mention Chen Ke now? ?! I know you have a good relationship, but you don’t have to mention it every day.”

Li Chengruo picked up the pen again, raised the wide sleeve of his right hand with his left hand, and it was stained with ink.While writing, he said: "It's not that I often mention him, but now you think about him all day... Don't think I don't know how angry you are when you didn't go to his crown ceremony...I can tell you, Chen Ke Ah, I can't be forced. Just his rotten temper... Hey! I don't know where the person who can resist him..."

Gu Zhi's hand holding her began to tighten, and then he freed another hand, took out the pen in her hand, and said, "Leave him alone, and go back to sleep with me now? I got up too early this morning... I slept late again last night..."

Li Chengruo's ears turned red, and he let him lead him to the bed, and said softly: "I forgot to tell you, my sister is back, and I will go back to accompany her soon."

Gu Zhi hummed lightly, and didn't want to continue this topic.

When Gu Zhi was busy flirting with his Cheng Ruo, Lin Zhengzheng and Hu Chen rushed along the road with a book.

The depths of Shuangshan Mountain are still peaceful and peaceful, without being affected by the outside world at all.The men in coarse cloth and plain clothes rolled their sleeves and drove their old scalpers in the fields. From time to time, they chatted with their brothers who were also plowing the fields, and talked about how many people would be killed by the upcoming matchmaker this year. In the photo, introduce yourself to a virtuous and gentle girl.

And groups of girls by the creek that flows slowly in the woods are holding washtubs, talking and laughing while washing clothes, talking to everyone about the handsome boys in the village, and making fun of them by the way Those friends who imagined a beautiful love story with Chen Ke all day long, and then began to freely imagine that beautiful encounter.

The small wildflowers in the forest are gently opening their petals against the rising sun, washing their new petals carefully with the morning dew, and preparing to wait for the best time in their lives with the most beautiful posture.

Unexpectedly, a shadow fell, crushing the petals that hadn't fully unfolded, disrupting the beautiful dream in the morning.

The two Xiao Qi galloped through the early morning mist at high speed, without even looking at the surrounding scenery, they rushed straight to their destination.

Chen Ke, who had just finished making porridge and was about to take it to the living room for dinner, just stepped out of the kitchen door when he saw Lin Zheng and his two galloping towards them.He walked into the door carrying the porridge, put the porridge down firmly, then turned to look at the person who came by, tilted his head slightly, and said, "Why, Gu Zhi can't think about it anymore?"

It was rare for Lin Zheng not to joke with him. He raised the documents and Shuai Yinping above his head with both hands, and at the same time knelt on one knee on the steps, with his head lowered, and said, "General Chen, Khanba from the north invaded our dynasty. So far, Xin'an, Mo Nan , three places in Huai'an were captured. Our army suffered heavy casualties, the emperor ordered his subordinates to deliver the report, and respectfully ask the general to lead the expedition!"

Chen Ke was stunned, then frowned deeply, and asked in a deep voice: "Why haven't I received any news before?!"

Hu Chen looked up at him, and said hesitantly, "Shen Ke, didn't you tell us not to bother you unless it was urgent?"

Chen Ke was silent and skipped this topic.Turned around and looked inside the house.The rice porridge on the table was still steaming.He paused for a moment, and immediately, the door made a soft "creak" sound and was gently closed by him.He raised his hand to take what was in Lin Zheng's hand, and pulled out his own horse from the back of the yard, with a slightly hoarse voice: "Let's go!"

On the stage of the general of the capital, Chen Ke was dressed in gray and white, with a bit of hostility hidden in his eyebrows and eyes.He picked up the wine bowl in front of him, raised his voice, and said word by word: "Brothers, I am in trouble in northern Xinjiang today, and we are in the same position. How can you and I avoid it? Today, I, Chen Ke, ordered [-] troops. Brothers, are you willing to agree?!"

The [-] soldiers of the National Defense Army toasted together, with great momentum: "For my robes, protect our mountains and rivers!"

Chen Ke raised his glass and said loudly: "Fight!"

After finishing speaking, he drank the wine in the bowl and threw it hard to the ground, and the bowl shattered with a bang.

The underground soldiers were like this one after another, and the sound of broken bowls resounded through the barracks for a while, accompanied by a roar that shook the mountains and rivers: "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Standing on the tower, Gu Zhi watched the scene, turned to Li Chengruo and said, we should be relieved...Chen Ke even called his soldiers.

Cheng Ruo glanced at him, then looked at the man in the gray robe, and said, "Which time did he not bring them?"

Gu Zhi was noncommittal, and turned to look at Chen Ke.Immediately, he said softly again: "This time, he is for himself..."

Cheng Ruo shook her head, "I don't know, it's too difficult to let go of those things..."

Gu Zhi sighed: "If General Zhang is alive in heaven, I'm afraid I can't bear it."

"what else can we do?"

"I think he lived in Shuangshan Zhangyuan for a year this time, and he should have figured it out and let it go."

"just wait."

"I can only wait."

After Chen Ke ordered the generals, he silently led the army to go out, and a large group of people marched mightily towards Huaining City.He didn't even say goodbye to Gu Zhi.Angrily, Gu Zhi pounded the table for another two days.

And Huaining, half of the city is green hills, half of the city is yellow sand, enough to make people sink.

Zhao Jun was dressed in black and stood beside Zhao Wan, looking at his father without blinking.Zhao Wan stood in front of a soldier and said in a humble voice, "Master, let us go to war! We also want to do our part for Huaining!"

Which soldier became a little impatient, and his voice was full of impatience: "You don't know anything, and you will die if you go. It's better to stay at home, guard the rear, and let the frontline soldiers feel at ease!"

Zhao Wan was not reconciled, and continued to persuade: "Little brother, you can't say that. Although we can't help much, we can at least go to the back kitchen to help out or something. In short, if we can contribute, it will be considered a share. In this way We can feel more at ease!"

The soldier might have been moved by Zhao Wan's words, he waved his hand and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go talk to the guards and see if it's okay."

Zhao Wan smiled, and stuffed some money into the man's hand.The man turned upside down, and his brows began to stretch: "It's not too bad." After speaking, he went to consult the guard.

Zhao Jun asked him, "Father, why do we have to join the army?"

Zhao Wan patted his head and said with a smile: "Fool, let's do our part for Huaining. Although we may not be able to make a big contribution to my Taihe, at least, There are things we can do to protect our hometown."

Zhao Jun nodded, keeping these words in his heart.He thought: Maybe I can't do it, but I must at least remember...it's rare for Dad to say such philosophical words...

After the soldier came back, he brought a person, pointed to Zhao Jun and his son, and said, "No, just those two, if you insist on coming, you can see for yourself what positions you can arrange for them... Leave it to you." Already."

The man nodded, and then asked Zhao Jun and the others to follow him to the barracks.

Zhao Jun watched as he walked, and after a while, he tugged on Zhao Wan's sleeve.Zhao Wan bowed his head, and Zhao Jun asked him, "Father, why don't they train?"

Zhao Wan patted him, and whispered softly: "Don't talk nonsense, just tell me, don't say it in front of other people."

Something flashed in Zhao Jun's little head, but he couldn't catch it, but he also understood something.He stopped talking and quietly followed the guide.

Some teams are strong because of their continuous hard training and strong centripetal force.

And the reason why some teams have been defeated repeatedly is the result of the day after tomorrow, so there is no reason to blame others.

The lost city has never been the credit of one party, but also the hard work of the other party.

The author has something to say:

I think it's actually okay...
