Bright moon out of Tianshan

When Gu Yong heard this, his expression changed immediately.

He turned his head to look at Gao Huai, and said: "Your Highness, the lower official came here to supervise the army under the emperor's imperial decree, and definitely did not intend to make things difficult for His Highness. I hope His Highness will not make things difficult for the lower official."

Gao Huai said: "Lord Gu, don't worry, of course I won't make things difficult for you. The emperor has always loved me the most. Although he doesn't say it, who can't see it? In the end, we are father and son. , I occasionally make some insignificant mistakes, how can he criticize me? If someone said gossip and provoked the relationship between our father and son, maybe the father would be angry with me at that time, but the one who was so unlucky in the end was not the one who provoked dissension? There have been many such things from ancient times to the present, Mr. Gu must have read a lot of classics and history collections, but have you heard of them?"

Gu Yong understood that he had fallen into their trap, he heard threats in his words, but he dared not speak out, and said after a long while: "Third Highness, okay, okay, you'd better do it yourself, as long as you don't drag down the officials." Reluctantly saluted him, then glared at Xiao Jian bitterly, and walked away.

As soon as he got out of the tent, Xiao Jian couldn't help laughing out loud.Gao Huai glanced at him sideways and said, "What are you laughing at?"

Xiao Jian said: "Just now he became addicted to gambling, and in the end he had nothing to pledge. As expected, he took this tiger talisman very seriously, and he refused to take it out, so we made a fuss. If he can't take off his clothes, it's fine. The brother who lost together took off his clothes and walked around outside the camp naked for a few times. As a result, Mr. Gu's face turned pale, so he finally bet on this tiger talisman. Third brother, why don't you keep it for a while? lively?"

Gao Huai said: "If I stay, he will be wary. He will definitely not take out this tiger talisman easily. He is a civil servant. If he uses this tiger talisman to do his best and threaten several generals, it will definitely delay The military situation also makes people impatient. It is not suitable for marching and fighting, so I better take it away." He fiddled with the pile of accessories back and forth, and continued: "You used to gamble with people? Why did you win so smoothly? Don't you Let's go, have dinner with me later, come and sit down."

Xiao Jian hurriedly sat down as he said, and Gao Huai said: "We will cross the river next, and we will not go far. Then it will be someone else's territory. This is Taiyuan, this is Luoyang, this is Taihang Mountain, this is Taiyue Mountain, and this is Taiyuan Mountain. Taiyuan's natural barrier." He used his adornment to display a simple topographical map: "Luoyang and Taiyuan are not very far apart, and Zhao's military strength is very strong. I often gather local materials during the battle, but I cannot plunder food and grass in the enemy's territory. Therefore, I must leave a reliable person in Luoyang to send me food and grass from nearby. If you don't want to stay, let you Brother-in-law can stay, right?"

Xiao Jian said: "He must not want to stay, he wants to be with me."

Gao Huai slowly raised his eyes to look at him, and suddenly said: "Why did I vaguely hear that you forced him to marry his sister?"

Xiao Jian suddenly blushed slightly, and said, "No...that's not the case! They are rumors! My brother-in-law treats my sister very well."

Gao Huai said: "Of course it will be good, and it won't be bad depending on your face. Xiao Jian, you are blushing, and you can pretend to be confused sometimes." Xiao Jian stretched out his hand to touch his face, feeling embarrassed, and turned his head away. Dare to look at him.Just at this time, the soldiers came over with breakfast, and Gao Huai said, "Let's talk after the meal." But he listened to Han Lin's request to see him, so Gao Huai asked someone to invite him, and Han Lin was sent by him to check the situation in the north of the Yellow River. Come back now.

After he entered the camp and saluted Gao Huai, Xiao Jian quickly got up to greet him. Gao Huai said, "You are all welcome, sit down and have dinner with me. Han Lin, tell me about the situation over there."

Han Lin reported the truth: "Most of Zhao's troops are stationed in Jincheng, Yangcheng, Jiangxian and other places, and not many troops are stationed in the north of the Yellow River."

Gao Huai nodded, watched Han Lin sit down, and said: "Understood, the Zhao Guoshui army is not strong enough, so I don't plan to fight with us on the Yellow River. The traps and ambushes over there should be set up, just wait for us to go." I threw myself into the trap and fought with my back." While he was speaking, Xiao Jian suddenly tugged on his sleeve quietly under the case, Gao Huai glanced at his hand inadvertently, saw him pointing at Han Lin, and said: "General Han , Luoyang once fell into the enemy's hands, the people's hearts are not stable, and I don't know if there are hidden enemies left behind. Therefore, I must leave a reliable person here to assist the prefect to supply food and grass, and guard the city. Even if we are defeated and occupy Luoyang, It is also possible to advance and attack, and to retreat and defend. After thinking about it, I think you are very suitable, how about you stay?"

Han Lin had already sat down and planned to have dinner with him, but suddenly stood up, before Gao Huai understood, he had already plopped down on his knees and kowtowed: "Returning to the Third Highness, I will not want to stay in Luoyang in the end, and I will follow you to the death. Your Highness, I will go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate!"

Xiao Jian's rank was not as high as Han Rin's, so he was so frightened that he quickly stood up and was at a loss for what to do.

Gao Huai hurried over to help Han Lin, and said: "General Han, you don't have to be like this, get up and talk!" Han Lin reached out and grabbed his arm tightly, crying: "Your Highness, before you leave Jinling, you read My family is poor, and I was afraid that I would care about my mother and have other things, so I would send money to the servants. At that time, my mother told me to come out with the third highness, even if this life was to be taken, I would also like to protect your highness. How? You won't let me follow you today? Isn't this forcing the last general to die to show his ambition?"

Gao Huai said: "Get up and talk, get up and talk!" He wanted to help him up, but Han Lin refused to get up, and even though he was crying like rain, Gao Huai had to say: "Han Lin, stay behind and organize the delivery of food and grass. In fact, it is more important than going to battle to kill the enemy, you have to understand this truth!"

Han Lin said: "The last general was born in poverty, and his family couldn't afford a decent gentleman. He went to free schools and didn't receive many teachings from sage masters. I don't understand these principles. All I know is that you can let me die, Your Highness. Don't let me leave you! Otherwise, I won't be able to survive!" While wandering around in the tent, he finally stared at the table legs, seeing that he was about to hit him at any time, Gao Huai hurriedly stopped him.He has always pitied Han Lin from a poor background, and seeing that his appearance is somewhat similar to his own when he was a teenager, he has always been tolerant and supportive.Han Lin hugged his leg and cried loudly, Gao Huai reached out and patted his back, saying, "Don't cry, come on, get up and talk."

On the table were glutinous rice porridge, several delicate side dishes, and two baskets of chrysanthemum crystal steamed stuffed buns. If he really bumped into it, the good meal on the table would be ruined.Xiao Jian stared blankly at the side, seeing this situation, he seemed to be superfluous, so he reached out to pick up a basket of buns, turned around and went out of the tent.

Before he walked out of the tent, he heard Gao Huai say in a deep voice behind him: "Xiao Jian, go and summon Ding Wuxia to come over! By the way, please come over to General Yang."

Xiao Jian shook his hand, and Baozi almost fell to the ground, so he had to say: "Yes, the general will obey." Gao Huai then coaxed Han Lin softly: "Come, come, I have some interesting things here, there are emeralds. There is also Hetian jade, you can choose the same, if you don’t like it, you can exchange it for silver..."

So Xiao Jian became angry, and he went out of the tent and threw the bun into the grass.

Two days later, Nie Shihuan's army arrived, joined forces with Yang Baozhen's soldiers and horses, and began to cross the Yellow River in a large scale.

Ding Wuxia followed the order of the third prince and stayed in Luoyang.He sent Xiao Jian to the bank of the Yellow River, and refused to turn back.Xiao Jian confessed: "Brother-in-law, be honest, you are not allowed to go out to find flowers and ask willows without me watching you, otherwise I will come back to clean up you!"

Ding Wuxia pulled his horse's rein reluctantly, and said: "You must take care of your own safety, I will wait for you to come back here. Write me a letter when you are free, and report that you are safe. Otherwise, I will not be able to sleep at night Be sure." Xiao Jian simply jumped off the horse, stretched out his arms to hug his brother-in-law, and whispered in his ear: "Don't worry, for you, for Yaoyao, I will definitely come back."

Ding Wuxia blushed, but he was reluctant to let go, so he brazenly let him continue to hug her.Gao Huai looked this way from a distance, his face became unsightly, Xiao Jian turned a blind eye, and was still coquettish with his brother-in-law.So Gao Huai sent Han Lin over, and said righteously: "The third highness said, such a mother-in-law will delay the march, let General Xiao go quickly."

Ding Wuxia had no choice but to forcefully push Xiao Jian who was on top of him, waved goodbye to him, stared blankly at him as he rode away, and then turned back to Luoyang.

The army crossed the Yellow River, and when the soldiers landed immediately, they chose a place to camp at night.Everyone gathered in the military account to discuss the attack.Han Lin and Xiao Jian were of lower rank, so they were not eligible to participate, but they were called by someone from Gao Huai to listen in. Yang Baozhen liked the two of them and did not object.Nie Shihuan is a calm and shrewd person, and he doesn't say much, only Gu Yong stares at them, and everyone ignores them.

Han Lin re-reported the news he found out a few days ago to the generals. After retreating from Luoyang, the various armies of the Zhao State regrouped and stood ready to stand in Jincheng, Yangcheng, Jiangxian and other places.Nie Shihuan asked: "Where is their monarch Zhao Yuancai?"

Han Lin shook his head and said, "The last general is incompetent, so he couldn't find out. The people of Zhao State have different opinions. Some say they are in Jincheng, and some say they have returned to Taiyuan, so no definite news can be found."

Yang Baozhen laughed suddenly, and said: "It's easy to find Zhao Yuancai, let Xiao Jian take the soldiers and horses out for a few more trips, maybe he will come here after hearing the news."

Xiao Jian blushed immediately when he heard the words, General Yang was used to teasing like this, no matter how angry he was, he couldn't get angry.However, Gu Yong gave him a cold look. Because of Xiao Jian's helping Gao Huai to cheat the tiger talisman, he had nowhere to vent his resentment. Sure enough, I am ignorant and ignorant. I didn't expect that Grand Master Xiao's grandson would have the ability to lure out the monarch of the enemy country. The subordinates are civil servants. They don't know much about marching and fighting, but they have a plan. I don't know if it is feasible. As the saying goes, Capture the thief first and capture the king first, so how about using Xiao Jian as a bait to set up an ambush? If you can capture the king of the enemy country, it will be a miracle."
