Iron Armored Emperor

Ao Ge knelt on one knee in the handsome tent, with shame and dissatisfaction on his face.

Just now Gu Lie called Ao Ge and said that the discussion has been over for a while, and he asked you to stay and guard Shuzhou, do you have any clues?

Ao Ge faltered and faltered, barely able to answer a few words that were not wrong, not to mention the outline and contract, even the most basic points of defending the city could not be answered correctly.

Ao Ge refused to accept.

Originally, he was a general who led troops to fight, and he was not a civil servant. He had just been ordered to guard Shuzhou, and within two hours he asked him for clues. Where did he go to find clues?

Gu Lie raised his hand and threw a writing brush on his forehead. The writing brush fell to the ground with a thud, and the black ink splashed on Ao Ge's forehead, "Still sophistrying."

Ao Ge drooped his head and did not speak.

"Ao Ge, do you think I'm making things difficult for you?" Gu Lie sneered and cursed, "I'm afraid you'd lose your life in Shu Province!"

Hearing this, Ao Ge was startled, and raised his head to look at Gu Lie.

Gu Lie spoke eloquently.

"Jiang Yang told me so much, you can't listen, you are a donkey! Letting you guard Shuzhou is to keep the southwestern part of my great Chu. Do you think I don't need you? How hard is the backbone of the Shu people? Yesterday Haven't you tasted a battle yet? If it wasn't for Di Qiye, we'd already be dead here, so what's the point of talking about it!"

Gu Lie asked Ao Ge in the middle of his inner worries, and then used "we" to refer to Di Qiye, treating Ao Ge as one of his own, while Di Qiye was still an outsider.

Ao Ge heard it pleasing to his ears, looked at Gu Lie with more eager eyes, and hurriedly called: "My lord!"

Gu Lie didn't let him speak, and continued: "You still think of me as the lord? You are a great general, and you don't have staff and staff in your tent. I ordered you to guard Shu. You don't use your brains or ask tricks when you go back, and come before me." If you can't answer, you still have the face to find excuses to show your grievances?"

Ao Ge smiled embarrassingly, not daring to answer.

"Shu Prefecture is difficult to defend," Gu Lie suddenly lowered his voice, "It's not just the people of Shu who are difficult to tame."

He said half a sentence and left half a sentence, Ao Ge quickly thought: "Will the Feng Clan attack Shu?"

Gu Lie didn't say he was right, nor did he say he was wrong: "Whether the Feng Clan wants to attack Yong, Qin or Shu, he will definitely send people to frequently harass the side at the junction of Xizhou and Shuzhou. Guess why?"

Following Gu Lie's train of thought, Ao Ge answered after much deliberation: "Because the Feng Clan has already occupied Xizhou, disturbing the border is effortless for them. At the same time, it can confuse Bei Yan and cover up the target they really want to attack."

"You missed one point. If the defense of Shuzhou is not good and they find a breakthrough, they can immediately gather the Xizhou cavalry to attack Shuzhou. When the wind clan invades, the Shu people will inevitably follow the trend. In an instant, it will be a situation of internal and external troubles. Ao Ge, do you think you can hold back?"

Gu Lie's calm addition caused Ao Ge to break into a cold sweat instantly, and immediately bowed down: "My lord, I will eventually realize my mistake."

"Aren't I making things difficult for you?" Gu Lie asked with a smile.

Ao Ge blushed and begged for mercy: "My lord, don't make fun of me. I was wrong. My lord is doing it for my own good. Please remind me."

Gu Lie scolded with a smile: "Get the hell out yet. Tomorrow morning, I want to see the written township strategy. You are not allowed to ask a counselor to write it for you. Write it yourself!"

Ao Ge kowtowed and ran away.

As soon as Ao Ge left, Gu Lie brought over unread documents and secret reports, and looked at everything one by one. As the day went by, most of the papers were marked with red approval, and he threw the ones he didn't care about into the bamboo basket After he finished reading, someone specially assigned to move it to Jiang Yang.

The Yan Dynasty relied on its orthodoxy and carried the notoriety of a tyrant who unjustly killed the King of Chu. It increasingly regarded the Chu army as a thorn in its side, and would issue charges at every turn to accuse Gu Lie of his wolfish ambitions and try to usurp the world.The words of these crimes are fierce, and the literary talent is brilliant. A single dirty word can scold Gu Lie's ancestors for eighteen generations, and take advantage of the trend to wash away the tyrant's former emperor's land.

This time the accusation was specially framed with high-quality Hangzhou silk, and it looked like a shabby household that was trying to show off.Gu Lie casually threw the accusation on the ground, and asked someone to take it apart and mend the soldiers' socks.

After dinner, Jiang Yang had already read all the paperwork he had moved over, fanned his feather fan leisurely, and went into the tent with two rolls under his arm that he disapproved of, and discussed with Gu Lie until late at night, during which spies came over from time to time When the letter was delivered, the lamp oil was exhausted and refilled. When the business was agreed, it was already the climax of the moon.

After washing up, the guards left the tent, only Gu Lie was left.

Gu Lie never left anyone to wait on him at night.

The young King of Chu was finally able to rest, and the laughter and cursing of the whole day faded away, leaving an expressionless face.

He walked to the side of the not-so-large wooden bed, took off his underwear, picked up the clean underwear at the end of the bed, and changed into it. His movements were so fast that people couldn't see the deep and shallow marks left by the battle for many years.

However, the most conspicuous thing was not the injuries he suffered on the battlefield.

It is the fire phoenix tattoo pierced all over his shoulder blades. The color is bright red like blood. The phoenix dancing in the sea of ​​fire condenses the grievances of the Gu family, so intense that it seems to be burning on his back all the time.

Gu Lie was young and intelligent, and he was sensible early. He still remembered that when he was four years old, the emperor of the Yan Dynasty visited Chu in the south.

At that time, the emperor still had the ambition to rule the world, and stood on the tower of Jinan City with the King of Chu.The emperor patted the submissive prince next to him, and pointed at them, the descendants of the Gu family, and laughed and talked about inheriting and assisting.

In just four years, the world has turned upside down.

Gu Lie's father was the least favored son of the King of Chu, but it didn't matter, the nine tribes of Yi, had nothing to do with being favored or not being favored.

The retainers of the King of Chu desperately snatched two boys from the Gu family, and they were all stabbed with the fire and phoenix emblem of Great Chu. Gu Lie was one of them.They were taken on the run by a man whom they called "adoptive father".

Another boy, Gu Lie couldn't remember whether it was him or him who was older, had a high fever in two or three days and disappeared.The adoptive father told Gu Lie that the boy was too weak to bear the turbulent escape.But Gu Lie saw with his own eyes that his back was festering and bleeding because of the tattoo, and he cried in pain at night, and he fell silent after crying.

Gu Lie had nightmares for quite a while, dreaming that his back was covered in blood.

When his adoptive father learned about it, he reprimanded him for being cowardly.

Fortunately, the nightmare did not come true. Gu Lie's tattoo has been in good condition since the scab fell off. The adoptive father said that it was the blessing of the King Chu's spirit in heaven, which proved that Gu Lie was the true heir of Da Chu.

Gu Lie learned not to refute.

With one child missing, the adoptive father, who had abandoned his family to take his life, moved his mind and secretly went home to flee with his wife and children.

Soon after, the adoptive father and son and the children from the village where they stayed went to Fushui and drowned in the river.The adoptive father and wife were heartbroken, hated Gu Lie, and threatened to report to the government.

The adoptive father drank all night, and before dawn, he went to pawn the child's clothes and exchanged them for a piece of fine white silk.

Gu Lie remembered that day his adoptive father stared at him with bright red eyes and said: "Gu Lie, your life was bought with the blood of all members of the Gu clan, and you bear a blood debt! As long as you live, you only have four words: death Yan Fuchu."

Gu Lie no longer had nightmares.

Chunqiu carved a gap when he was eight years old.

Before the age of eight, he was Gu Lie.

After the age of eight, he was just the grandson of the king of Chu who was carrying Gu's blood debt.

The banquet before returning to Jingzhou was specially set up for Yang Ting, king of Shu. Yang Ting never stopped chopsticks in his hand, he should eat and drink, his thick skin is not ordinary people.

Although all the tyrants in Shuzhou have descended to Chu, they still look down on this wretch, thinking that he has lost Shuzhou's face.

No one paid attention to him, Yang Ting was happy and leisurely, ate more boldly, even kicked off his shoes, relaxed as if at his own home.He was so humiliated that everyone in Shuzhou no longer had any illusions about Yan Dynasty, and no longer regarded Chu generals as nothing, and the dignified atmosphere gradually eased.

Gu Lie and Jiang Yang exchanged glances and made a note secretly.

Di Qiye was not very interested in this kind of occasion. He sat with Jiang Yang and was taken care of by Jiang Yang meticulously. Jiang Yang also came forward to deal with those who came to find fault, so he was so bored that he buried his head in eating.

Willow shoots on the moon, no matter what is in my heart, the hall is full of words and laughter.

Gu Lie rewarded Jiang Yang with spicy rabbit diced meat from his table. The plate was full of fragrant rabbit meat, and the peppers were all picked out in advance. Jiang Yang thanked him and turned to sit at the general's table to talk. Before leaving, greet Di Qiye to eat first.

Unprepared, Di Qiye took a sip out of curiosity, and his eyes turned red in an instant.He was eager to drink water, and made a mistake. He accidentally took Jiang Yang's cup by mistake, and suffocated the contents in one gulp.

Jiang Yang doesn't drink easily, and only drinks Jingchuan Tuyao when he drinks. Those who don't drink will go down in one gulp, and I will keep you in three steps.
