Iron Armored Emperor

Most of the generals disapproved of an alliance with WindClan.

The Feng Clan invaded Xizhou, and they are still attacking Yongzhou. Although Xizhou and Yongzhou are all the territory of the Yan Dynasty, Gu Lie is now sitting on five states, and he will become the master of the world in the future. If it is successful, it will also leave unnecessary controversy for Gu Lie's reputation.

Especially after conquering Qingzhou and Zhongzhou, the Chu army seemed to have the upper hand against the Fengzu and Beiyan on paper, with sufficient food and wages, strong soldiers and horses, and there was no need to form an alliance with the Fengzu.

Neither a good reputation nor an urgent need, what else can I say?Whatever you want to talk about, just call.

Except for those who did not express their views, only Jiang Yang and Zhu Beihe made it clear that they could meet and see if they could not reach an agreement before fighting.

Jiang Yang is in charge of the secret agents of the Chu Army, and Wu Kun, the leader of the Wind Clan, left a deep impression on him with his brutal and ruthless performance on the battlefield.So Jiang Yang thought, it's better to go to Yuliang to see who this Wu Kun is.

The four famous lords of Beiyan are in civil strife, and the secret agents of the Chu army are indispensable. Jiang Yang also feels that if he agrees to the alliance at this time and let the news out, he may reap unexpected joy and kill two birds with one stone.

As for the alliance, it's just a talk, it doesn't matter if it succeeds or not.

Zhu Beihe's meaning was very simple. He started from his own job and thought that everyone here is not in charge of the family and doesn't know how expensive they are. If the result of the alliance is beneficial to the Chu army, then they can save money and trouble by not fighting.Even if you postpone the fight until winter, you can save a lot of cold-proof equipment.

Jiang Yang was able to speak well, and Zhu Beihe was concise and to the point. Both of them were fine people with clear thinking.

Gu Lie simply asked them to go back and think about it, and discuss it tomorrow.

Di Qiye remained silent for a while, and only after everyone had left did he tentatively ask, "My lord, do you prefer to form an alliance with the Wind Clan?"

Recently, Di Qiye has improved his etiquette outside, and he yelled catchyly one by one. Jiang Yang was quite moved by this, thinking that Brother Di was sensible.

Di Qiye accepted Jiang Yang's compliments frankly. Gu Lie was beaten by Di Qiye every day in the dormitory.

Di Qiye himself prefers to talk first. It's not that Di Qiye doesn't want to fight, but because of tactical delays, and the enmity between Gu Linsheng and the Wind Clan back then. He moved to another place, and he will give the Wind Clan a peace talk. Chance.

Although he was not optimistic about the outcome of the alliance.

Because the most fundamental thing is that the Chu army is the most powerful force in the world on paper, but the situation on the battlefield is unpredictable, and it affects the whole body. It does not mean that the one who looks the strongest will definitely have the last laugh.When to stride forward and when to walk slowly, this is where the opportunity lies. Excellent generals can grasp the opportunity, and ordinary generals can be grasped by the opportunity.

The Feng Clan's vicious vengeance division, as the saying goes, the mourning army will win, and the Chu army will be torn off even if they win against the Feng Clan.

Beiyan is busy with internal strife and seems to be on the verge of collapse, but it is an intertwined dynastic force after all, and centipedes are dead but not stiff. No one can say whether the four famous lords will wake up before death and cooperate with the outside world.

Di Qiye was never blindly optimistic, so he agreed with Jiang Yang and Zhu Beihe's opinions.

Gu Lie shook his head slightly: "The Wind Clan is definitely not sincerely forming an alliance. It's just a stalemate with Beiyan and a strategy to avoid bilateral wars. Even if the negotiation is successful at the moment, it will be torn apart in the future. It's just a procrastination."

Hearing that they had the same views, Di Qiye felt relieved and began to seek relief from the ban on a daily basis.

"Since that's the case, why don't my lord take advantage of this opportunity to speed up the attack on Qin? The general is willing to do what a dog can do." Di Qiye raised his eyebrows, encouraging him half-truthfully.

The so-called not being blindly optimistic means that Di Qiye has always been very confident in others and in himself. With him around, even if Gu Lie thinks about the military attack now, it will be no problem.

At this time, when Di Qiye was sent to attack Qin, Ao Ge and Lu Yi had to be blown up. Gu Lie didn't believe that Di Qiye couldn't think of it, so he didn't take it at all.

For the Wind Clan, Gu Lie has more concerns than Di Qiye.

In the previous life, Gu Lie knew nothing about the grievances between the Feng Clan and his grandfather Gu Linsheng.In fact, the younger generation of Chu Gu's retainers, who are now the main force of the Chu army, hardly knew about this matter, while the older generation kept secret about it and kept silent.

It wasn't until Gu Liechu ascended the throne and rewritten Gu Linsheng's biography that he dug up the past of expelling the Wind Clan.

The Wind Clan has the heart to win the Central Plains, and Gu Lie must defeat this opponent if he wants to return to Chu.

Defeating, not eliminating, eliminating the Wind Clan was not Gu Lie's original plan.

In the previous life, when the king of the Chu army returned to Jing, Ao Ge, who stayed behind in Shuzhou, was very dissatisfied with the duties of staying behind. He was careless in carrying out his duties. He was successfully torn apart by the Fengzu cavalry. It was slaughtered cleanly.

Although Gu Lie did not witness the tragic scene with his own eyes, he can get a glimpse of it through Jiang Yang's heartbroken account.After being reborn, Gu Lie repeatedly warned Ao Ge for this reason.

Even after knowing the grievances against the Feng Clan's grandfather for destroying the Feng Clan in the previous life, although Gu Lie blamed himself for being negligent, he did not regret it.

Therefore, the Feng Clan sent out the invitation of the Yuliang League in the previous life, but under the premise of slaughtering the three cities of Xishu, this invitation was more like a provocation, and Chu Gu would not consider it at all.

However, this life is different from the previous life.

After being reborn, Gu Lie repeatedly warned Ao Ge to avoid the tragedy of Tu_cheng, and he knew about the grievances between his grandfather Gu Linsheng and the Feng Clan.

The most important thing is that after all, he cannot completely erase the attitude of dealing with things left over from 50 years of governing the world.

As the lord of the Chu army, you only need to worry about the pros and cons of the current hegemony; as the emperor of Chu, you are the father of the world, ten states are kings, and all peoples are kings.

After experiencing the tyranny at the end of the Yan Dynasty, and more than five years of struggle for hegemony, the world is already riddled with holes, especially in the states outside the territory occupied by the Chu army. fate.

In his previous life, Gu Lie worked hard to benefit the people and reward farming and weaving. After going through ups and downs, it took more than ten years to bring the world back to life and flourish.

Now, there is an opportunity for alliance and peace talks to reduce wars before him. Although the chance is slim, he does not want to give up categorically.

If the peace talks fail, he can also find a strategy to speed up the seizure of the world. This is Gu Lie's confidence.

As for false fame, Gu Lie didn't care that much for a long time.

Gu Lie ignored him, and Di Qiye teased again: "My lord accepts the invitation, maybe he will bear the reputation of being an adulterer with foreign enemies."

Gu Lie looked at Di Qiye, it wasn't him who had the reputation of being selfish in his previous life, but the brazen person in front of him, and he happened to be the leader of the Hefeng clan.Why didn't this person think about whether he would get a bad reputation before doing things himself?

Then again, Di Qiye was alone, and he was the most indignant when he heard that the Feng Clan slaughtered the city in his previous life. How could he go to have a private meeting with the leader of the Feng Clan after the world has been settled?

"Before I leave, I can't finish copying the military regulations, so I will let you stay in Jingchu."

"..."

Di Qiye ran away indignantly.

Discuss again the next day, and it is finally agreed that they will leave in half a month and go to Yuliang Huimeng.

It wasn't until Jiang Yang prepared to leave with great fanfare that the generals realized that the lord's movement didn't seem like he was about to go to the alliance, but to fight a decisive battle.

How can anyone participate in the peace talks alliance and bring all his wealth with him?

So everyone vaguely realized that it was time.

The moment to decide the final victory of the hegemony is coming.

Gu Lie and Jiang Yang personally went to inspect the cotton-padded clothes prepared for the soldiers, and wished Beihe an impeccable job.On the way back, I passed the city tower, and on a whim, I climbed up the steps with Jiang Yang, climbed to the tower, and looked at Yunmengze in the east.

The tall blue-gray towers of Jinan City are full of gold, and the city has wide platforms and high pavilions, and the pavilions are uneven. It is not like a mortal city, but like a star palace.The Zhijiang River that surrounds the city merges into the gentle Yunmeng Lake, Yunmeng Lake, a place that Chu people dream about.

The ancestor of the King of Chu used to hunt here during the Warring States Period, and his grandfather Gu Linsheng was conferred the title of "Shoulder King" here.

He, Gu Lie, led the Chu people back to Jinan City after the genocide, and created an invincible navy here.

The cold wind is hunting, Yunmengze has a vast water surface, hundreds of boats are connected, huge ships are coming and going, and the navy camp is practicing. This navy has fulfilled its dream of returning to Jingchu. It once conquered Xinzhou, which was ruled by water bandits. Today, it is still guarding The indispensable combat power of the sea made the pirates frightened and fled when they saw the flag.

However, the most glorious moment of this invincible navy has passed.

Now this Chu army is no longer the Chu army that needs Gu Lie to take the lead and take the lead to kill the "Fire Phoenix Killing God" with injuries.

Chu Gu's territory continued to expand northward, and the Chu army continued to grow.

Gu Lie knew very well that the days of dominating the battlefield no longer belonged to him.

It is true that he will still have the opportunity to fight, but that is not a fight, but just supervising the battle on the spot under heavy guards.

He doesn't like to fight, but the passionate passion of fighting side by side is unforgettable after all.Especially for a person like him who can't give birth to too much joy or anger.

Excellent generals emerge in endlessly, and there are geniuses like Di Qiye, now is their moment.

Gu Lie understood his responsibilities.

He stared at the navy built by himself, at the misty Yunmeng Lake, his eyes focused as if saying goodbye.

When we meet again, it will be the decisive battle in Yizhou next year. By then, whoever controls the world will win or lose.

it's time.

This time, Pengshan Road is far away, and the Emperor's Seat is high.

"My lord," Jiang Yang suddenly called out as if he had sensed it.

Gu Lie lowered his head and smiled, and finally let go: "Just change to that leather armor. Anyway, I'm wearing armor now, and I'm just a showman. Why don't you relax."

Jiang Yang followed Gu Lie all the way to conquer the world, so he naturally knew that Gu Lie was reluctant to stay away from the battlefield, so he softened his heart and said, "Actually, there is no need to worry..."

"No," Gu Lie insisted instead, "It's time, I'm not fit to lead the army anymore, and I shouldn't lead the army anymore. It's hypocritical not to wear armor."

The lord was so introspective, Jiang Yang sighed.

When he returned to the dormitory, Di Qiye was copying the military regulations, and he walked around with his pen, throwing away each sheet after copying, and there were papers all over the floor.

Di Qiye was afraid of the cold, so the bedroom specially lit a bamboo charcoal fire for him, so he still wore the gloves that Gu Lie had prepared for him. I don't know how this man won the battle in winter.

"It's not cold when you're active, of course it's cold when you're locked up in the room," Gu Lie didn't realize that he asked out loud, Di Qiye replied confidently.

But let it go, I don’t know who was the one who calmly wore the leather gloves until March despite the ridicule of the generals of the enemy and us in the previous life.

That pair of leather gloves was specially made by Di Qiye's tailor. They were made of the softest lambskin, with a thin layer of lamb's hair stitched on the inside and rough twill on the outside. slip.In fact, many generals have found someone to learn to do it privately, and use it during training, but they are embarrassed to wear it on the battlefield.

The pair in Di Qiye's hand is an improved model released by Arsenal many years later.

Di Qiye copied it, clicked his tongue, crumpled a piece of paper and threw it out, rolling it to Gu Lie's feet. Gu Lie picked it up and saw that it was one of Wei Bichen's cursing letters, presumably it was Di Qiye. Ye deliberately didn't want to copy it carefully, and the paper was full of messy papers, and he took the wrong paper.

This Vibesson...

Gu Lie threw the ball of paper back onto the desk, and asked Di Qiye, who was dissatisfied, "Do you think Wei Bichen's words are familiar?"

"You mean that old thief?" Di Qiye knew everything, "There's no way to prove it. If Wei Bichen is also his apprentice, there are only three people who have seen Wei Bichen at most, one is the person who took him into the valley, the other is When he left the army, he kidnapped a child in the valley to replace him, and one was an old thief. Where can I ask?"

Gu Lie recalled what Di Qiye had said, contacted Di Qiye's strange private meeting with the leader of the Wind Clan in his previous life, and searched for clues along the way: "You said that it was a strange person who took you into the valley? What's the explanation for this strange person? "

Now that the lord was asking questions, Di Qiye stopped writing grandly, and threw the pen into the Taoshan brush washer. He turned his eyes to Gu Lie's face, and said maliciously: "Let me tell you first, the facts are like this, the last general didn't do it on purpose." Alluding to the lord."

Gu Lie didn't know where he said this, so he raised his eyebrows like him.

Di Qiye coughed lightly, and said solemnly: "The man is about eighteen to nineteen years old, he is well dressed, and he looks good, but his face is bad."

Gu Lie was puzzled: "Is the face bad?"

"His face is stiff, and it is difficult to make an expression, but his tone of voice is normal, and his emotions are quite rich, so when he speaks, it is abnormal and terrifying."

"I once saw him poke acupuncture points on his face with long silver needles. At that time, his face suddenly lost control, drooping, and the corners of his mouth were drooling. He said he forgot to take the medicine."

"He wanted to persuade me to be a teacher. He kept saying that his master was a good man, he didn't abandon him when he was sick, and he also helped him study acupuncture and pills. But listen, this is not normal at all."

"But I don't think this person is bad-hearted, he was just taught badly. Of course, I don't want to see him again."

From what Gu Lie heard, this matter is indeed twisted and twisted like Wei Bichen's mind, but the problem is not here: "So, you mean, my face is also bad?"

"The last general doesn't mean that." Di Qiye looked straight into Gu Lie's eyes, "My lord is just the opposite. He can't move his face, but my lord can't move his heart."

Gu Lie didn't know whether he should be angry or not. He knew that Di Qiye saw through his coldness, but he didn't expect that Di Qiye would dare to say it in front of him.

But after thinking about it, it is better for Di Qiye to dare to speak out in this life than to say nothing in the previous life, and then there will be a thunderbolt in the end.

When the master takes this role, he should be the only one.

Gu Lie laughed at himself in his heart.

Seeing that Gu Lie didn't refute, Di Qiye tried to remonstrate around the bush: "I think that when one is alive, one should allow oneself to have some fun."

In past and present lives, Di Qiye probably wanted to be the doctor for him.

Going out to see a doctor when he is so sick is not as reliable as Yan Fagu's fortune-telling.

Gu Lie looked at Di Qiye amusedly, and asked, "What about you?"

"What's wrong with me?" Di Qiye was puzzled.

"You," Gu Lie sighed in his heart, remembering the stubborn character of this man who would not go away and backed down, "Have you finished copying the military regulations?"

Di Qiye rolled his eyes, rolled up his sleeves indecently, changed a pen, dipped it in ink, and copied it indifferently.

At this time, in the east of Ji Nan City.

The once well-known Yuan Taoism Temple has now declined and is deserted, with overgrown grass and ghostly pupils. It doesn't look like a Taoist temple, but a haunted house.

Yan Fagu was wearing a rough sermon robe that had been washed white, and he was holding an old whisk and a paper money bag in his hand.

He once became a monk here, lost his beloved here, and hacked people to death here.

He walked through the Taoist temple, chanting scriptures in his mouth, throwing handfuls of white paper money into the air in his hand, being lifted up by the cold wind, and fluttering down again, like boundless snowflakes.

Yan Fagu once had a daughter whom he loved very much. His wife died of dystocia. Yan Fagu brought up his daughter with his own hands. She looks smart, smart and cute.

She didn't have a name yet, and her fate was so good that Yan Fagu was afraid that her name would ruin her, so she only had a nickname, Xiaoguai.

He still remembers to this day that in the scorching summer, when he was doing Buddhist rituals in the dojo, his mouth was chapped from chanting sutras, and when he returned home, the young boy fetched well water for him to drink, and hugged his neck in distress.

Such a good child, how could anyone have the heart to harm her.

The Yan Dynasty was corrupt, and the four famous lords were domineering, but they were just a branch of the Wang family, and they were also domineering.A baby boy died in the family, and they even made a big fanfare to match a living yin relative, and find a girl who is a perfect match for a true ghost marriage.Live yin marriage, true ghost marriage, as the name suggests, is to find a living girl, send it to the underworld, and become a wife for that unformed baby boy.

The Taoist priest who figured out Xiaoguai's horoscope, led the Wang family to arrest Xiaoguai, and drained Xiaoguai's blood with his own hands, according to Yuan Daoist's seniority, Yan Fagu should call him "Master Uncle".

That bastard is his uncle.

Xiaoguai died of being emptied of blood, Yan Fagu was not willing to take advantage of that bastard so cheaply.

He didn't want to dirty Xiaoguai's eyes, so he hacked the beast to death with his own hands in this Taoist temple.

Yan Fagu remembered that someone shouted at that time, Yan Fagu, you are not as good as a beast!He really wanted to ask that person if he dared to scold the Wang family as inferior to a beast.

He Yan Fagu dared to do so. On the seventh day of Xiaoguai's first life, he cursed at the ceremony for the emperor's blessing, shouting, "The king of Chu died unjustly, and the violent Yan will surely perish."After shouting, he ran and laughed, and ran and laughed, if it wasn't for the Lu Yu Lord, he might have been hacked to death by Yan Chao's lackeys.

Yan Fugu scattered all the paper money, took out two bottles of spirits stolen from Jiang Yang from his bag, and threw one bottle on the firewood with his hands.

The flames shot up into the sky.

Yan Fagu sat on the threshold and drank wine. The threshold is really high. How much money do you have to donate to build such a high threshold in a Taoist temple?Yan Fagu didn't know.

"Little boy, little girl."

Yan Fagu murmured his daughter's name, as if she was still playing with her knees, "Daddy is finally going to avenge you."

Jiang Yang waited for him to fall asleep leaning against the gate before asking the soldiers to pick him up and send him home.

Then he looked at the raging fire from the Taoist temple, and ordered: "When the fire goes out, take it down."

This kind of dirty place should not have been kept.

Half a month later, Gu Lie personally commanded Wang Shi to go northward, heading for Qinzhou in a mighty way.
