Accompany the prince to study

Facts have proved that the prince not only needs Wen Zhuan, he also needs Zhou Shubian, Su Su, Qian Duo... There are five people in the entire accompanying reading group who are on the prince's list to lead the army.Of course, this was a decision made after seeking their own wishes.

Xie Lian, Wen Tian, ​​and Li Huaiyu chose to stay in Beijing.

In other words, they failed to pass the test of their own family members.

The Xie family had already blamed Xie Lian for not choosing to become an official after the examination, so why would Xie Lian go to northern Xinjiang to die?It is absolutely impossible for them to agree, and it doesn't matter whether Xie Lian is following the prince himself or not, they only hope that Xie Lian can stay in Beijing.

The Xie family was born in a family of farming and education, and in his crazy personality, he also carried some old-fashioned ideas of "a family made of iron, an emperor of flowing water".They will make some appropriate political investments, but they will not gamble with all their wealth.

In order to prevent Xie Lian from making small moves, Xie's family went directly to the Emperor Wu, who cut off all Xie Lian's thoughts.

Xie Lian was ashamed and didn't know how to face her friends.

It was Wen Tian who felt more ashamed than Xie Lian.

As the eldest princess's son, Wen Tian has been living a dandy life where he wants the wind and the rain, and he lives more comfortably and freely than anyone else.When Wen Tian learned that the prince decided to go to northern Xinjiang, he excitedly expressed that he had long wanted to go.Wen Tian was used to making his own decisions, he felt that there was nothing his mother would refuse him.

As a result, just as Wen Tian agreed to the crown prince, he was forced to die by his mother on the back foot. Really. As soon as Wen Tian got up, the eldest princess took out the white silk and was about to hang herself.

The eldest princess does not only have Wen Tian as her son, but it is obvious that she loves Wen Tian the most. Otherwise, she would not have decided to pass on her title to this son, and even changed his surname Wen, which symbolizes the orthodoxy of the royal family. .Because of this Wen surname, the eldest princess did not know how much pressure she had suffered, but she persisted.

Now, her precious son is going to the battlefield?How could she agree!

"Don't you want me to make a career?" Wen Tian used Uncle Zhou's reasons to persuade his parents to try to reason with his mother, "Don't you want me to be promising? I can't study, this is the only way."

"I don't want to." The eldest princess shook her head without hesitation.

Wen Tian: "???"

Being a healthy and happy idle clan is all that the Eldest Princess expects from her son, and she would rather see him alive than see him have a future.There are very few Wen family members who participated in the rebellion against the previous dynasty, including all the brothers and sisters of Princess Chang except Emperor Wu.

"Do you know how many people died in the price of the Situ family's garrison in northern Xinjiang? If you don't know, go and check for me!"

Really kill people.

This has nothing to do with whether you are a prince, a princess, or anyone else. Swords have no eyes. In the face of death, everyone is equal.

Wen Tian and his mother had an unprecedented fierce quarrel, and the eldest princess felt that her son had broken her heart, so she had the same idea as Xie's family—to make trouble in front of the queen mother.The eldest princess is the empress dowager's own daughter, and she is a little more rude than the Xie family. She said that she even regretted agreeing to the empress Zhou and sending her son to the prince as a companion.

The queen mother looked at her daughter and let out a long sigh.

Previously, Xie Lian and Wen Tian had never had any in-depth communication. They could only be regarded as strangers in the same circle who looked like friends but were not familiar with each other.This time, the encounter between the brothers and sisters, on the contrary, quickly warmed up the friendship between them.

The feeling of being held back by family members is really hard.

The two got together to drink, and after getting drunk, they began to compare miserably.One sighed with emotion, "A successful family is a family that has failed", while the other hooked his shoulders and said, "At any rate, what you said to His Highness was 'I'll go back and discuss it with my family first', but I just patted my chest to ensure that there is no problem. Turning around, I was slapped in the face by my own mother."

For teenagers of this age, the most important thing is face. They can lose everything, but they must not lose face in front of friends and enemies.

Wen Tian and Xie Lian's feelings can be imagined.

On the contrary, it was Li Huaiyu who had the least sense of existence. He was the only one who, after careful consideration, expressed to the prince in private that he had no way to follow him.

Because he is afraid.

Li Huaiyu's character is really timid, and he doesn't deny it himself.The reason why he didn't follow was that on the one hand, he was really afraid of swords and swords on the battlefield, and on the other hand, he was also afraid that after he really went to the battlefield, he would cause trouble to the prince because of his timidity.

Although the latter sounds like an excuse, Li Huaiyu really thinks so.

He was so scared that he couldn't even guarantee what choice he would make after meeting the enemy.He has always been cautious, facing the danger of possible betrayal, his choice is not to contact him from the beginning, not to give himself any chance.Killed the problem from the root.

"Gu believes you won't," the prince patted Li Huaiyu's shoulder, "but Gu said this not to persuade you to go to northern Xinjiang, but to hope that you can have more self-confidence."

The prince himself never considered taking Li Huaiyu to northern Xinjiang, or he never considered taking all his companions to northern Xinjiang.

"You guys will play a bigger role in the capital." Not only Li Huaiyu, but also Xie Lian and Wen Tian, ​​"Didn't you learn anything from the hunting exercise before?"

——There are people in the DPRK who are good at handling things!

Why did the prince take all his team away?Deliberately reduce the difficulty of competition for your brother, and then give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it?

Although the murderer behind the scenes is a remnant of the previous dynasty, the conflict between the prince and other brothers and sisters has not been completely resolved.Just like the prince and the third prince, their conflict comes from the queen mother's preference, which is completely irreconcilable.After all, there is only one queen mother, and people's hearts are all biased, so there is no way to avoid it.Although the other princes and princesses will not kill the prince, it doesn't mean they don't want to see the prince make a fool of himself.

Wen Daocheng... To be honest, he doesn't trust his brothers and sisters that much. He needs to keep some people in the capital to be his eyes and hands, mediate for him, and adjust in time.

The three people who stayed in Beijing were said to be full of pride, but they did not expect that they would still have such an important responsibility.

Faced with the prince's initiative to let go, the eldest princess and Xie's family became a little embarrassed. Regarding the fact that their children did not choose to follow, the prince did not show his past character "If you don't stand by me, you are my enemy." "The paranoid side.The prince has really grown up and matured, but they are still looking at people with old eyes, and some of them judge the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

For this reason, the eldest princess and Xie's family contributed a lot to the matter of the prince leading the troops to northern Xinjiang, with a sense of compensation.

Well, Wen Daocheng couldn't deny that he obviously wanted to leave some companions, but he still invited all the companions to go to northern Xinjiang together, in order to achieve the current effect of wanting to promote before suppressing.

In other words, retreat is the advance.

Many of Gu Qiao's tricks are always very useful.

At the end of the same month, the army set out, and under the leadership of the crown prince and Situ Rong, they swept all the way towards the northern border, carrying out the strongest wave of reinforcements.

Originally, the barbarians had already made up their minds about northern Xinjiang, thinking that Daqi's reaction would not be so fast.When they approached the city and were triumphant, they were severely injured by the timely rescue of the prince's army.When Prince Daqi heard of Daocheng's name, it spread inside and outside Daqi and the barbarians overnight, making everyone firmly remember his name and his powerful ability.

Prince Wen will never disappoint you!

A year later, the Southwest Gu village also rebelled, but the Bai family who had been on guard for a long time suppressed it to death in time.Bai Chenbai Erye, who was supposed to be teaching in Beijing to recuperate his injuries, failed to develop it in the end. Instead, he went to the battlefield excitedly and found that this was indeed the best cure for all injuries, at least for him.

Two years later, the third prince and the king of Changle also joined the battlefield, and the fifth princess, who strongly demanded to go together, was bitter about the fact that the prince did not take her away, and vowed to prove to the prince that she can also be very powerful.

Three years later, the fifth prince also came to the northern border and was active on the battlefield against the enemy, but what made him more famous was the pornographic news that he failed to pursue General Situ and was hammered by gentleness and anger.The fifth prince, a military genius, was born with supernatural powers, and he couldn't beat Wen Zhuan, a weak scholar.

Six years later...

Gu Qiao is finally here.

From the bustling and bustling Yongji, to the northern Xinjiang of the yellow sand desert, and then to the grassland with grass higher than waist.From a pampered young man to a major general hero.When Gu Qiao was a child, he would never have imagined that one day he would spend his birthday lying in the depths of the enemy army in disgrace.Even he has forgotten that this day is his birthday.

His face is covered with mud, his battle armor is dull, and he hides in a place with abundant water and grass.Covered by the moonless night sky, he didn't even dare to make too much noise when breathing, for fear of disturbing the barbarians in the king's tent.

Gu Qiao was surrounded by elite troops who had already lost a lot. They lost their way while chasing a group of barbarians.

Unexpectedly, they found the barbarian's most mysterious floating king's tent because of this.It is said that the so-called ex-dynasty princes elected by the barbarian king and the remnants of the previous dynasty are all here.

There are two roads in front of Gu Qiao and his party——

[-]. Write down the location and leave carefully, either get lost on the grassland again, or find the prince's reinforcements, and when they try their luck, they can find the king's account again, and the army will overwhelm the border and end the war;

Second, launch a surprise attack and find a way to directly take the head of the barbarian king and the "Prince" of the former dynasty.

From Gu Qiao's point of view, God simply didn't give him a choice, not to mention whether they lost their way on the prairie, whether they can leave safely and find Daqi's army, only that the king's tent will move again soon , There is only one chance, if you miss it, you may never get it again.

Daqi and the barbarians fought for six years, and the results were mixed with each other.Da Qilue now has the upper hand.However, the people have been overwhelmed.

Daqi must end the war as soon as possible!

The barbarians are preparing to hibernate and move to farther places to recuperate.No one thinks that they will really let it go. If the barbarians are given a chance to breathe, it will only be a matter of time before the war resumes.

The recurrence of such a nightmare will only cause more corpses to litter the field.

Especially for Gu Qiao and the prince, they struggled for six years, all they wanted was to avenge their parents.Now the enemy is right in front of you, how could you miss it?

However, the risks are simply too great.

Gu Qiao's concept of leading the soldiers with him is very similar to that of his cousin Situ Rong. He must not treat those who are born and died for him badly.

"Those who want to leave can leave now." Gu Qiao ordered in a low voice.In the dark night, even his face can't be seen clearly, but anyone who knows Gu Qiao knows that he said this from the heart, without any irony, and he will not retaliate afterwards. Gu Qiao is sincerely suggesting that everyone choose The possibility of a greater chance of survival: "Even if you can't find reinforcements, at least you can survive."

"and you?"

"I won't go." Can't go either.Gu Qiao shook his head.Gone, he will never forgive himself for the rest of his life.The enemy is right in front of him, but he is cowardly?What a joke!

This was the most impulsive moment in Gu Qiao's life, so impulsive without complaint or regret.

"Then we won't leave either." Gu Qiao's adjutant said immediately, his eyes filled with determination.From the day they entered the battlefield, they were ready to sacrifice at any time. None of Gu Qiao's soldiers were afraid of death, they were only afraid of dying worthless.

Gu Qiao bowed her head and fell silent. After a while, she said: "The family is an only child, so I am forced to report back."

This crime is more than good, they can't cover it all here, at least let others know what happened to them.

There are three soldiers who are the only sons in the family. Not all of them are only sons, but they have died so that they are the only son left.One of the youngest was transferred to Gu Qiao's side this year, and he didn't expect to encounter such a thing with Gu Qiao.He cried so hard that he didn't dare to cry out loud, so he could only cry silently. He didn't want to leave and felt like a deserter.

Gu Qiao called him to her side: "I don't want to excuse you, because I believe you are stronger than anyone else. I just have one thing, I need to ask you."

"My lord! Say it!"

Gu Qiao is still the son of the prince, he can only be the son of the prince before the weak crown, the "Master of the State" was originally chosen by those who looked down on him to tease him, but Gu Qiao himself recognized this black name, which made those people very embarrassed .The people around him were just following and provoking those who only dared to do small tricks behind their backs, but they got used to it for some reason and really recognized it.

"If I don't go back, say something to His Royal Highness for me..." Gu Qiao's thought didn't come out suddenly, but had been entrenched in his mind for a long time.But the battle was tight, so he couldn't find a suitable opportunity to talk to the prince.

Of course, there is also a reason that Gu Qiao is afraid. He is afraid that if he talks about it, he will not be able to be as close as before with His Highness.

But at this moment, in the face of life and death, nothing matters.Gu Qiao is no longer afraid that he will have no friends with the prince in the future, he is only afraid that he will die before the prince knows his intentions.

Words are on the lips...

"Forget it, let's not talk about it." If he died, talking about it would only increase His Royal Highness's troubles.And if he didn't die, he would only show enough sincerity if he said this kind of thing by himself.
