v2.Chapter 307 (1/2)
With such a delay, December will soon arrive.
Gu Shubai led the army to fight for several months, just taking this opportunity to recuperate.
Lin'an's continuous high city walls are right in front of us. Gu Shubai looks into the distance. When he comes back here again, he always feels familiar and strange.
This is the place where he grew up. It carries many memories of him, his father, his younger brother and Gu Jiajun.
Now time has changed, but he is no longer qualified to enter, can only be seen from afar here.
”General!”
Yan Zheng called at the foot of the tower and ran up, ”general, I've heard from Jingzhong. It's your Majesty's letter!”
Ice and snow face suddenly opened, his mouth opened slightly smile, such as the ice and snow in the plum blossom, warm winter.
Patta, Patta.
The sound of army boots flying across the frozen city wall, Yan Zheng ran too fast, almost fell down at the corner, fortunately, he jumped up again.
Gu Shubai shook his head helplessly, and Yan Zheng gave the letter to him with a smile. ”General, please have a look. It's almost new year's day. If your Majesty's letter is to let the general go back!”
”Yufu won't be like this.”
He carefully cut off the lacquer on the envelope and said, ”why not?”
Gu Shubai said with a smile: ”at the critical moment of the war, I can't leave at all. Yufu knows. She won't say anything so impractical, let alone ignore the overall situation. ”
Yu Fu is not impractical, but his strict Zheng is impractical.
Yan Zheng muttered: ”but your majesty is ill. She is a little girl's family after all. Don't you want the general to accompany her when she is ill?”
Gu Shubai's hand holding the envelope stagnated and frowned at Yan Zheng, ”is she ill? When did it happen? ”
Yu Fu often wrote to him, never mentioning her illness.
Yan Zheng regretted his failure and had to tell the truth, ”maybe your majesty didn't want to distract the general, so he didn't tell you. In fact, it's not a serious illness. It seems that Mrs. Ning was frozen by snow when she went out of Beijing. This winter is very cold. It's said that the capital is several times colder than Lin'an! ”
”She's used to the weather here in Lin'an, and the fairy Valley is warm as spring. This is the first year of winter in Beili, a place of ice and snow, so I'm not used to it. Fortunately, with Yuehu and Tianshu by her side, she will take good care of her body. ”
Gu Shubai said on his mouth, not knowing whether he was explaining to Yan Zheng or comforting himself.
He took the letter out of the envelope, with a little uneasy color, for fear that the letter would mention that Yu Fu's illness had not yet recovered or aggravated, and he didn't want to warm up after reading it.
Yan Zheng was surprised. ”General, does the letter say that your majesty is well?”
”Well.”
Gu Shubai light should be a, the smile on the face more and more hidden, see Yan Zheng inexplicable.
I'm afraid that the letter not only said that Yu Fu was cured, but also mentioned something better to make him so happy, right?
”General, general?”
”Well?”
Gu Shubai was a little absent-minded, and his eyes fell on the sentence at the end of the letter. He looked back and forth several times.
For the first time, he felt that he couldn't control his emotions. He wanted to shout out to the snow all over the sky so that he could express his joy to the fullest.
”General, what does the letter say?”
Yan Zheng was so curious that his heart itched. Gu Shubai said with a smile, ”she said that on the day when we return triumphantly, we will have a big wedding ceremony.”
After that, he carefully guessed the letter and strode down the castle.
At the end of the letter, the woman's handwriting is graceful, less domineering, and more graceful as a young girl to be married -
”the Ministry of rites is preparing my hairpin and our wedding ceremony. I hope you will return soon.”
……
”Newspaper!”
In addition to the big account, the soldier quickly entered the account, ”the spy in front of me wrote a letter!”
Gu Shubai sat at the top of the table and nodded slightly. The soldier sent the letter to him with both hands.
When I opened it, it turned out to be good news. ”It's really a little bit colder this winter. Fortunately, our soldiers are all from Beili and are used to the cold. However, the uprising troops came from warm places like Lingnan and minzhou, and now there are quite serious casualties due to frostbite. ”
”That's a good thing!”
Yan Zheng and others were very happy, ”we have taken the time to make peace with people. Now what matters is the location. Hatefully, Emperor Ning refused to open the gate to let us pass. It's inconvenient to go around Lin'an City and inquire about the movements of the rebel army. Once the war starts, it's even more troublesome! ”
Gu Shubai suddenly thought of something, ”late to fly, he can lead the army back to Lin'an?”
Mention this, Yan Zheng and other ministries will be more angry.
”Don't mention it, general. It makes me even more angry! Originally, the general said that it was for the sake of his 1000 strong garrison that they were allowed to follow us, and they would not return to Lin'an until we wiped out the rebel army in the north. However, Chi Fei submitted a letter to enter the city and asked to enter the city, but the city refused to let him go. He said that he had led the army to join us in Beili. Who knows if he wants to cheat the city gate to let the army invade? ”The more Yan Zheng said, the more angry he was. ”General, listen to me. We are their friends who are looking forward to help. Now we are treated as enemies! Had we not been here to frighten, Lin'an would have been defeated by the uprising, and now the emperor of Dongling is Yin Shuo! It's good for them to guard us like thieves! ”
Gu Shu's white eyebrows slightly frowned, ”after all, I delayed Chi Fei and his 1000 soldiers. I underestimated Ning Di's suspicions, but let Chi Fei become a homeless army.”
”You can't blame the general!”
The other said: ”if the general had not taken them in at the beginning, it would not have been enough to open the edge of the rebel army by relying on that thousand people! Did the general forget? There are also 1000 garrisons in Linzhou. Haven't they been killed by the rebels? ”
”General, I don't think we should attack Lin'an on March 7-21. Let Ningdi have a look. We are not afraid to attack, but because of the gentleman's agreement between the two countries!”
Gu Shubai Lang said in a voice: ”don't let me hear the words of attacking Lin'an again. Our Beili army is here to help our friend countries, not to show off one's anger. If people listen to these words, don't they think Beili is a country that doesn't believe in injustice? ”
Everyone shut up and bowed their heads. No one dared to say more.
Gu Shubai hesitated and said, ”the issue of emperor Ning has to be dealt with by the central government. As soldiers, what we can do is to adjust measures to local conditions. No matter how difficult the situation is, we have to think of the most appropriate way to defeat the enemy. Just a Lin'an city block in front of you, it bound your hands and feet? Is my Beili army so incompetent? ”
”Of course not!”
The ministers blushed, and their voices shook the snowflakes on the top of the tent.
The soldier standing guard outside the tent suddenly trembled, then straightened up and stood up at his post.
Gu Shubai's voice in the tent rang out, ”immediately send someone to go back to the court quickly, and ask Lord Chen Jingxing, Minister of Honglu temple, to find a way to persuade emperor Ning to open the gate of Lin'an. You are here to discuss a way for me to bypass Lin'an and attack Huzhou, in case Lord Chen can't persuade emperor Ning, or the rebel army has already taken action before he persuades him. Do you understand? ”
”I understand!”
Yan Zheng hesitated and said, ”general, let's discuss. What about you?”
Gu Shubai walked out of the tent without looking back. ”Your brain should move too. It's local ruffians, not Beili hall generals who fight fiercely.”
