The owner can be his wife

Chapter 3 Battle

In Wenyuan Villa, Gu Yunxi was sipping tea and playing chess with his father when Gu Qiyuan dropped a son, "Yunyi, do you think we will go to war with the Turks?"

"Yes." Gu Yuntai did not hesitate, he was still studying the chessboard, and dropped a piece on the corner, "Father, it's your turn." Gu Qiyuan was a little absent-minded, and dropped a piece at random, "Why?"

"The King of Yan is here." Seeing his father's absent-mindedness, Gu Yuntai didn't care, and just kept talking on his own, while he said, "The King of Yan is not a good minister, but has a great cause in mind. Judging from his performance in recent years and According to the news we received, as long as King Yan continues to be careful, there is a great possibility of success. If he succeeds, it should be more conducive to the stability of the court than the current crown prince. Father has never cared about state affairs. How did you think of asking this? Father, you lose gone."

As soon as the son fell, Gu Qiyuan's face was secretive, and he immediately laughed, "My son is worthy of the name of a genius, haha. I just mentioned it casually. Most of the news in the world in recent days has something to do with this, and the new dynasty has just been established. Now everyone is waiting and watching, but it seems from just now that your hard work was not in vain. If you lose, you lose, but it’s a game of chess. I still have something to do for my father, so let’s continue playing at another time.” Then he got up and went out, without noticing Gu Yun behind him Suspicious eyes.

Qing Tong behind him came to clean up the chessboard, "Master, it's time to drink the medicine."

"The medicinal juice, can't I make it myself? It's so bitter every time." His face changed, and the gentle and smiling nobleman before had turned into a child who was afraid of bitter medicine.Qingtong pursed her lips and remained serious, "The medicine was specially formulated by the master, who told the owner not to drink the medicine well every time. How old are you..."

"Qingtong, keep silent..." Gu Yuntai had no choice but to get up and prepare to go to the bedroom to rest. "Bring the medicine here."

"Yes!" Qingtong packed the chessboard and went to the pharmacy to get the medicine. On the other side, Feng Wu, who had been serving in Gu Yuntai's bedroom, probed, "Qingtong, where is the master?"

"Going out. Is there something wrong?" After closing the door casually, the two stood outside the door. The only person who could enter this study room was Qingtong, which was specially ordered by Gu Qiyuan.

"It's okay, it's just that it's time for you to drink the medicine and you still haven't come back. I thought I lost the time playing chess with the master again." Feng Wu chuckled.Qingtong held the tray in his hand, "I'm going to get the medicine for the young master. The young master has already gone back."

"Why didn't I see it?" Feng Wu scratched his head, is the young master's movement fast again?

"With your brain, it's strange if you can see it. Let's go and get the medicine." Qing Tong knocked Feng Wu's head, hating that iron can't be made into steel. You cheated..."

Nagging all the way, when Feng Wu returned to the bedroom with the medicine in his hands, his eyes were already empty.When Gu Yuntai saw Feng Wu's appearance, he knew that this child was being nagged by Qingtong again. Although it was pitiful, it was really funny.

"My lord, you're bullying me too!" Feng Wu came to his senses when he heard the sound of putting down the medicine bowl.

"Okay, I'll give you half a day off in the afternoon, let's go out and play." After drinking the medicine, Gu Yuntai lay on the bed and waited for the medicine to dissipate. He was weak in Shishi City, and the medicine was indeed useful, but it was really bitter.

In Prince Yan's Mansion, the housekeeper looked impatiently at the woman kneeling in front of him, "This is the prince's decision, how can you and I intervene!"

"The lord has already gone to the border gate, and the medicine gas has dissipated, why is the child still with the prince! I, as an aunt, can't even take a look!"

"Women, please get up. May I take you to see the child?" The butler showed pity, helped the woman on the ground, and led her out of the door. With a depressing sound, the butler came back alone.Instructed the young servant to "wait for her to wake up, pour the medicine, and make arrangements when the lord comes back."

"Yes!"

Two days later, Mrs. Lin fell ill without waiting for the prince to come back.The housekeeper did not send a funeral, but arranged for Lin's family members to take care of their future life.

The news from Beijing and China reached the border as quickly as possible, and everything was detailed.Lin's death is not a big deal to Chen Jian, but he may have to be more cautious in his future operations.

"Don't tell Chen Xuan about this in the future, his biological mother passed away when he was born." The messenger agreed and withdrew.

Shen Qing was acting as a guard on the side, he clearly saw a flash of concern in the prince's eyes just now, obviously he still cares about the prince of the little prince.

"When will the imperial decree come down?" Chen Jian turned around, as if asking about the air, and after a while, Shen Qing replied, "It should be late autumn."

"Late autumn, it's a little slow." Looking at the map, Chen Yan pondered for a while, "You are going to change your appearance, I will leave for a few days. It will take about ten days, and when I come back, we will prepare to go to war."

"Yes." Shen Qing lowered his head, his mission is to protect the prince.

In Kyoto, in the imperial palace, Concubine Hui looked at the rare emperor and smiled, "Why is the emperor free to come today?"

"I'm here to tell you that the fourth brother is guarding the border and won't be able to come back easily. Don't worry." Chen Yu felt chills in his heart when he saw this scheming woman. Sure enough, even if he told her about his own son, this woman's His face didn't change, it was still that false smile.

"Sharing the country's worries is what he should do, so I can rest assured. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." Concubine Hui smiled. "I have a new lotus leaf here. Your Majesty today..."

"Forget it, I promised the queen to have dinner in her palace." After speaking, Chen Yu ignored Concubine Hui who was kneeling behind him, and strode away.

Concubine Hui, who was saluting, collapsed to the ground, covered her heart with a handkerchief, and took a few deep breaths before allowing the maid to help her up, "The emperor is at the border, Qingzhi, go and call Aunt Ma, I have something to look for her. "

"Your Majesty, wait a moment, this servant will go right away." After speaking, Qingzhi quickly walked out of Concubine Hui's palace.Aunt Ma is the son of Concubine Hui's family and also a dowry mother. After entering the palace, she was entrusted by the queen to take charge of the imperial dining room in the name of being old and accomplished.Aunt Ma entered Concubine Hui's bedroom, knelt down and saluted, "Why is Miss calling this old slave?"

"Aunt Ma, please, I want you to send a letter home, but no one else will know." Concubine Hui wrote a note by hand and asked Aunt Ma to keep it.Ten days later, the emperor received news from the people in the court hall, and he became suspicious, so he issued an order to recall the king of Yan at the border. .

The subsequent development of the border was as expected by Chen Jian. The Turks would not take the initiative to attack when the news was uncertain, and Chen Jian had no intention of doing anything, even though both sides were now in a position where they could fight at any time.Looking at the spreading tents below, Chen Yan calculated the time in his mind. The terrain on the Turkic side was slightly lower than them, but they did not have the horses and cavalry suitable for charging as the Turkic, so they simply waited for the enemy to come.

"General, the marshal has come to ask you twice." Yu Wenchang was walking in the camp, Chen Jian gave him a sideways glance, "If you want to fight, you will take the initiative to attack, I don't have the intention." Shen Qing beside him Smiling, Yu Wenchang glared at him, "Sikong will come to pass the decree in two days, what is the general going to do?"

Ignoring Shen Qing's expression, Chen Jian put the map in his hand on the ground, "When Sikong arrives, let the battle begin. Send a letter to Zuo Guoxiang, saying that we are going to withdraw. Let everyone start to pack up and move to the Larger items are hidden in the spare storeroom behind the grain pile."

"If that guy Sikong is dispatched, there must be a large group of people. If he doesn't keep it together, he will bring all his grandfather's personal guards." Yu Wenchang laughed secretly, and then went down to prepare.

In the Turkic camp, Zuo Guoxiang was startled when he saw the symbols that suddenly appeared in his camp, but he smiled again when he saw the meaning of the symbols clearly, and walked up to the leading general Hu Yanqing, "King Yan is about to withdraw, the general can Attack anytime."

"Understood." Hu Yanqing looked at the double-betrayed Zuo Guoxiang, his eyes flashed contempt, "I'll ask someone to take another look."

"General, don't miss this opportunity. I suggest that you start preparations immediately and attack at night." Zuo Guoxiang was afraid that things would change if it was too late, especially since there were even people like them in the army.Thinking of the traces drawn with black charcoal, Zuo Guoxiang's hair stood on end.

"I said I got it." Hu Yanqing's eyes frightened Zuo Guoxiang like a falcon on the grassland, and the disdain was clearly conveyed.Zuo Guoxiang blushed and walked away.

Hu Yanqing ordered the spies to spy on them until the next morning, when the spies came back and reported that the Han people were really preparing to retreat, but they did not retreat as Zuo Guoxiang said, but changed their defenses.

Changing defenses, Hu Yanqing frowned, looking at the map in the tent, did Han Bang want to extend the border quietly?Or are you testing their bottom line?This buffer plain is the default peace zone between them and the previous dynasty. The Han people are on a slightly higher terrain, but for their cavalry, this height does not affect the charge. Has the peace of the past 15 years made the Han people forget this?

That being the case, let them recall.Thinking of the tasks that the big man gave him before coming here, Hu Yanqing's heart was full of enthusiasm. Thinking of the prosperity of Han State, he couldn't help complaining about the injustice of God, who let the wolves on the grassland struggle to survive on the barren land, but let the sheep The same Han people enjoy a comfortable life!

"The whole army is ready for a surprise attack at night. We will go all the way into the Han state capital." The tone was determined, without any excitement, because everything was under control. Look at that stupid Han state sheep, who actually believed in a traitor.

At night, the half-person tall grass was blown with different traces by the wind, and the fast-sneaking pioneer took less than an hour to board the high ground here.The leader suddenly looked at the unsuspecting Han army camp with disdain, and called the generals behind him to speed up.The guard on the sentry sent out his final duty with a scream before death, but it was too late at this time, and suddenly Chi led his soldiers into the camp. Kill them all.

The sudden torches and the sound of cold metal in the barracks awakened Hu Erchi's dream. The person who suddenly appeared in front of him was smiling, but his eyes were more sinister than a lone wolf on the grassland. Hu Er Chi seemed to be able to see Chen Jian smiling. The canine teeth that were not exposed in the corner of the mouth must be shining coldly like a wolf.

"The honored guest is here. I'm sorry for the inconvenience." Chen Jian bowed his hands and saluted, the corners of his smiling mouth rose, and the large arc reduced the sharpness of this face. "Tea, please."

Suddenly Chi saw that the [-] soldiers he had brought had been surrounded by groups, and he didn't know what the leader wanted to do. "We are not used to drinking tea, and we hope you can do as you please."

"Okay." Chen Yan even narrowed his eyes, "Serve the wine!" The conversation between the two seemed unobtrusive in this empty place, as if they were really just guests, and the host entertained the guests with wine.

Barrels of kerosene and kumiss fell from the sky, and suddenly the torch fell on the body while Chi shouted to avoid it. The raging flames shot up into the sky, and the soldiers stood around the thick shields, and the sharp spears continued to pierce the target. The escaped stragglers, the arrows and stones falling from the sky were like butcher knives slaughtering the defenseless lambs.Suddenly Chi cut off the robe that was on fire, and half of the hair on his face was burned off by the fire. He grabbed the shining scimitar and wanted to jump out of the sea of ​​flames, but was hit hard by the head-on stones and fell down. Of the 5000 people, no one escaped from the flames. The screams and flames even reached Hu Yanqing's camp.

The shields used to resist their running around were almost melted, and the arena was finally silent.Chen Jian looked at the billowing black smoke in the sky and said, "It's dawn, ready to go to battle!" The soldiers took orders, surrounded by flaming shields, like tombstones, recording this anti-massacre.

There was billowing dust coming from behind, Chen Jian saw the leader in a red robe, and nodded, "It's really time." Shen Qing next to him cursed secretly, wearing a red robe on the battlefield, is she a coward or courting death!
