The dead enemy in the previous life gave me joy

Their thoughts gradually drifted away, and they drifted back to the moment when they first entered Panning City on the day they surrendered.

Gu Zhai has been playing with Tao Wengshu for five years, and he has imagined the scene of entering the city countless times in his heart. Now that his wish is fulfilled, he doesn't feel very happy. The root cause is that the person is no longer there.

He was riding on the horse, staring at the chariot and horse of the "little sick young man", and he couldn't bear it, that's all, he didn't mean to let him stand in front of him and be "pointed out by thousands of people". His Majesty should just attribute all the rewards for the surrender to his name.

As the sun was rising, Gu Zhai got up early, but his usual habit was like this, he would get up early to practice martial arts at the fifth watch, today may be because of the exhaustion of the boat, he fell asleep and got up late, Fortunately, it is not too late.

After practicing a set of fists and kicks in the station room, Gu Zhai deliberately went out to find some food. When he entered the city, he fell in love with the candy lotus shop under the city tower. He thought: Since it is so close, maybe the When people defend the city on weekdays, they will also eat a bowl of candied lotus root.

The old man of the candy lotus shop was busy, and he didn't close the shop to avoid the limelight because of the Sichuan army's entry into the city and the change of dynasty overnight.

Gu Zhai stood still and said, "Old man, can you use silver for a bowl of candied lotus root?"

The old man was beaming, and said in an inaccurate Sichuan dialect: "You guys all got up so early, and you sold two bowls today, and the money is worth it."

He found a piece of broken silver from his pocket and gave it to the old man.

It didn't take long for the old man to serve him a bowl of candied lotus root. Gu Zhai looked up the tower with the candied lotus root in his hand. Now he saw how dilapidated the tower was from inside the city. Withstood his five-year attack.

In a daze, he seemed to see Erlang in red and silver armor standing on the tower, dispatching troops and setting up defenses...

Hate that man is dead!

He drank the sweet water from the candied lotus root, put down the porcelain bowl, looked up again, and saw a red figure, which made his heart skip a beat. That figure was sitting on the tower at the moment, as if he was watching the sun rise. After a while, his whole body was bathed in the morning light.

It's him!

He couldn't help but yelled at the man above the wall: "Tao Wengshu!"

The man moved when he heard his shout, as if he was frightened, he stumbled and fell from the top of the wall!

Gu Zhai was also shocked, he stood there for a while, then hurriedly ran to the city gate, don't really lose his footing and lose a life because of him!

He wanted to know who he was even more, how that figure from the back looked like Tao Wengshu.

Outside the city gate, there were two people embracing each other from a distance, the man in red was being held in his arms at this moment, and when he got closer, Gu Zhai saw the man's face.

His suspended heart suddenly sank, it wasn't him...but how could it be that "little sick child"!

The figure of the two of them galloping away together appeared in Gu Zhai's mind. He suddenly came to his senses. The one he wanted to hold on to!It was he who did not recognize him!

Without further hesitation, Gu Zhai packed his bags, changed into casual clothes, and slipped out of the general's mansion.

He wanted to go to Caotang Temple immediately to find out who was buried in the tomb in the temple, and if Chu Chu was really that Tao Wengshu, he would definitely return to the mausoleum!

In the night, no one knew that General War God, who was supposed to "rehabilitate his wounds" in the general's mansion, had already set foot on the northbound road privately at this time. When he left the city, he tore up a notice with a portrait of Chu Chu and put it inside. collar.

Whether it's Chu Chu or Tao Wengshu, he will find it in every corner of the world!

In a military camp somewhere, a man in fine armor stood with his hands behind his back.

"Did the spies sent out find out the news? How could a good person disappear out of nowhere? Is it because you are not doing your job well!" the man asked.

"My subordinate dare not. Although there is no definite information, my subordinate guesses that the young master is no longer in the territory of Sichuan. Someone must have done something to erase the traces related to the young master." The spy replied.

The man narrowed his eyes, who has such ability?

"What's happening over there in Sichuan?"

The spy replied: "According to the information given by the lord, the Emperor of Sichuan already knew the news of the young master's disappearance, and he is also sending people to look for it, and has posted many notices. In my own house."

The man asked again: "Where is the outcome of Yue Le's battle?"

The spies replied: "The casualties of the Sichuan army were heavier than expected. The reason is that the God of War led his troops out of the city without authorization and went straight to the Nanman barracks. Although it seemed that the Nanman army was captured in the end, it actually suffered heavy losses. The manpower, material resources, and financial resources were more than we expected. consumes much."

The man finally changed from the gloom just now, even his voice was filled with joy, he said: "Okay, God has helped me, it's not in vain for us to plan for many years."

He looked deep into the tent, and said to the other person, "What do you think?"

The other person finally looked over, "Although everything is not yet a foregone conclusion and there are still many variables, but it is undeniable that this is indeed the best time to send troops, and the realization of the layout that the old emperor has planned for many years is just around the corner."

The man hesitated again, as if he was worried about something.

"What are you afraid of? I know you spent a period of time with him when you were a child, and you valued him very much. If it weren't for you, he would have been dead long ago..."

"Shut up." The man interrupted dissatisfied.

"You just hid your true identity from him, so why should he have a relationship with you because of this? You have been providing for those old people under his hands all these years."

"Xia Yanzhi, if you talk about the private matter between me and him, I will punish you. Don't blame me for not being merciful to you."

"Punish me? Troops are about to be dispatched, and you won't shake the morale of the army." Xia Yanzhi was dissatisfied.

"It happened to take your sacrificial flag, see if I dare."

Xia Yanzhi said: "I really don't understand, neither the old emperor nor your father is an infatuated person, why did you give birth to a sentimental species when you came here, is it because you were raised stupid by outsiders, let me remind you, this game of chess is over It's been going on for a hundred years, and the plan is so big that I can't stop, if you act emotionally at a critical moment, even if you have royal blood on your body, I will kill you."

Xia Yanzhi looked at the spies who were still kneeling on the ground: "Still kneeling, get out and give them a pass, send troops immediately!"

The spy didn't dare to look up at Xia Yanzhi, but turned his head to glance at the other person, and seeing that the person didn't speak, he took his order.

"You're a watcher, knowing that you're back now, don't take me seriously. I should have kicked him to death just now." Xia Yanzhi said.

"Planning to send troops directly to fight against Sichuan?" the man questioned.

Xia Yanzhi walked over and patted the other person on the shoulder: "How can it be, do you understand what is meant by 'killing three birds with one stone'? If someone is determined to restore the country, there will be another big war. We just have to wait for the 'fisherman's profit'[1] It’s all right, don’t worry, you will be the good guy, and I’ll be the bad guy, they have taught me by precept and example since I was a child, and they have to protect you strictly.”

"Is there any movement in the Western Regions?" the man asked again.

"If you don't mention it, I almost forgot. There seems to be some small moves in the Western Regions recently, but the specifics haven't been detected yet. I only know that the King of the Western Regions seems to have noticed something and found his younger brother back. I was concerned about the previous battle between Nanman and Sichuan, but it doesn't matter, the Western Regions have been under the eyes of Sichuan for these years, soldiers and horses must not move without much power, and they can't do anything." Xia Yanzhi said.

Xia Yanzhi's analysis: "The relationship between the Western Regions and the Sichuan Kingdom is already superficial, and the king of the Western Regions will not be willing to help the Sichuan Kingdom."

Palace of the Western Regions.

Chu Chu has recuperated here for many days, and his body has recovered a lot. With the help of doctors from the Western Regions, he used the precious snow lotus, and his heart has been protected. The price is that the Western Regions and Ling Kingdom formed an alliance. .

Chu Chu also has his own calculations. When the Ling Kingdom is restored, the Chuan Kingdom will definitely not let it go, and will definitely send troops to attack.

Now, although he secretly raised the original Ling army in Taibai Mountain, the troops are still insufficient.

He originally thought that he could delay for another year or two, until he minimized the impact of natural disasters, and waited until the army was strong and strong, even if Sichuan sent troops again, there would be nothing they could do about it, but unfortunately things backfired.

When he formed an alliance with Wutu before, he heard Wutu talk about Luyue's life experience. Luyue was the illegitimate son of his mother and a merchant from Sichuan. He was brought back to the country of Sichuan, where he was detained as a hostage, and then disappeared. After many years, Wutu only found out about this matter, and then he became very angry and had a second heart.

However, in Chu Chu’s view, this is just a cover, and Wutu should be unwilling to submit to the Chuan Kingdom. It was an expedient measure when his father borrowed troops from the Sichuan Kingdom to ascend the throne of the domain king. Now it has been too long. up.

If the Western Regions hadn't been suppressed by the Sichuan Kingdom these years, they would have become stronger. Just like the Nanman, they had accumulated the strength to compete with the Sichuan Kingdom.

He especially remembered what Gu Zhai had analyzed with him, the Western Region was just a small region, and the emperor didn't pay attention to it at all, so there was another reason for it!

It's just because the Western Regions can't win the Sichuan Kingdom at all, and the Western Regions have already surrendered to the Sichuan Kingdom, paying tribute every year.

After drinking the medicine in his hand, Chu Chu reflected: How can there be any sincerity? These emperors, generals and ministers all get what they need when it comes to power, but the sentence "the prosperity of the world is for profit; the chaos of the world is for profit" Go." [2]

"Great unification" is like a sweet pastry. The rulers of these countries all want to be the "one emperor through the ages". I didn't pay attention to it.

"The saint's trumpet is a weapon, and it must be used as a last resort."［3］

I pity myself for my painstaking efforts. I just want to protect the people on the Lingling land from the flames of war, and I only want the mountains and rivers to be safe, and my family and country are peaceful. For this reason, I have to deal with these hungry "hungry wolves".

The author has something to say: [1] From "Warring States Policy".

[2] "The prosperity of the world is all for profit; the chaos of the world is for profit." It comes from Chapter 120 of "Historical Records" by Sima Qian, a famous historian and writer in the Western Han Dynasty.

[3] From "Six Secret Teachings".
