Gu Hanzhao's voice had long since fallen, but there was still silence in the camp. All the soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally chose to remain silent.

Gu Hanzhao restrained the coldness in his eyes, and tried his best to restrain his anger. Now all the important positions in the army are the cronies of Uncle Zhao Guo.Although these people were born as military generals, they lived in a corner. They didn't know the bloody fights of the generals, but they knew the conspiracy of the court very well.

Gu Hanzhao stood in front of the unfolded map and said indifferently: "Most of the land in Beiyuan is grassland and desert, and it is endless at a glance."

Shen Hao's eyes lit up as he was squeezed into the corner by the crowd, and he was already a bit preoccupied.Because he sent the news back to Fengshouzhou that the fifth prince was unfavorable in leaving the army and concealing the military situation, the whole family of the Zhao family regarded him as an enemy and wanted to eat his flesh and blood.

Now, under the wrath of Emperor Xuanwu, although the Zhao family can't touch him, they are secretly rejecting him.These days, he has been squeezed out everywhere in the army, and he has been subjected to countless times of making things difficult openly and secretly.If he can't accumulate military merits in this battle, I'm afraid he won't have the power to protect himself when the Zhao family recovers.

Although he keeps a low profile on weekdays, he knows Gu Hanzhao's temperament, and now he no longer allows himself to keep a low profile. After all, besides his own life, he also holds the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers under him.

"Baidi is a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, with criss-crossing lanes and lanes! If he hadn't grown up here, he might easily get lost." After Shen Hao finished speaking, the expressions on the faces of the other soldiers also changed.Although they haven't led troops before, they still have some real talents, and they are not stupid people, otherwise they wouldn't be able to climb to their current positions.

It's just that they have been used to obeying Fengsheng's orders in the past few days, and they have long lost their own judgment.What's more, as long as you obey orders obediently, you can keep your seat without taking any responsibilities, so why not do it.

Gu Hanzhao was annoyed by their inaction, but now he still relied on them, hoping that they would still retain a trace of soldier's blood, and stop shrinking back like before.

"What General Shen said is true. In terms of military strength and morale, Nanze is inferior to Beiyuan. Now it is not suitable for head-to-head confrontation. The only solution for the present is to gradually weaken Beiyuan's military strength." Gu Hanzhao saw everyone showing a dazed look and continued. Said: "I know that some of you are dissatisfied, but now is not the time to care about these things. You must have known the previous situation. Why did His Majesty only recall the Fifth Highness and not punish you? You should also know the reason. Now the opportunity to take the crime and make meritorious service It just depends on whether you can grasp it."

Gu Hanzhao also didn't bother to beat around the bush, as the wealth and lives of everyone in the camp had already been tied together.Whether it is the Zhao family's party or the Xie family's party, it is no longer important. If this life cannot be saved, no amount of glory and wealth will be in vain.

Gu Hanzhao knew that they had resentment in their hearts, but a few of them who could stand here were stupid. Even if they did not have outstanding military talents, they still had some tricky tricks.Now I naturally know what to do to be in my best interest.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally said in unison: "The last general dare not!" Gu Hanzhao looked at their lowered heads, no matter how sincere the other party was.His bottom line has been told to everyone in detail, no matter which faction he belongs to, he only asks to be unanimous when there is a common enemy.As for those who ignored Nanze's interests, he had his own way to make their lives worse than death.

"You just need to remember that you are from Nanze." Gu Hanzhao didn't seem to take their sincerity and fear seriously, and continued: "I'm afraid that the Beiyuan Army will make a comeback in the near future. You should go back and recharge your batteries, but you can't take it seriously." Don't take it lightly. The patrols in the barracks will be arranged according to my previous charter. If there are disobedients dealt with by the military law, Beiyuan spies must not be mixed in!"

"Yes!" Everyone gradually gave up their contempt and were about to step back when they heard Gu Hanzhao say, "General Shen will stay here for now, I have something to ask."

The other people lingered between the two of them for a while, then they left the tent one by one.

After the others left, only Gu Hanzhao, Zhao Zhanyu, Lu Lingxing and Shen Hao were left in the camp.

Gu Hanzhao rubbed the center of his brows, suppressed the tiredness in his eyes, and smiled at Shen Hao: "I leave General Shen alone because I have something to ask."

Shen Hao raised his eyebrows, his eyes were full of seriousness, and said respectfully: "The last general is duty-bound."

"I can only leave this matter to the general. I hope that the general can select a team of elites and hand them over to me. It's just that this is dangerous, and I can't guarantee that this elite team will come back safely. I have also thought about entrusting this matter to others." General." Gu Hanzhao shook his head, his words were full of bitterness, "It's a pity that no one is capable of this matter. Except for General Shen, the others are all Uncle Zhao's confidantes. In order to save their lives, although they will help me, they will not Do your best."

Shen Hao also sighed in his heart, it's a pity that he joined the elite division of the Gu family army back then, if Emperor Xuanwu hadn't feared the Gu family, Nanze would not have become like a mermaid today.

"Defending the family and serving the country is a matter of duty. Even if you die in battle, you will die well. As long as it is beneficial to the war, I will do my best!"

"Okay! Let me thank General Shen first." Gu Hanzhao sighed in his heart. There are still a few veteran ministers who can distinguish right from wrong, otherwise Nanze is really in danger!

Seeing this, Gu Hanzhao didn't say much anymore, he led Shen Hao to the map, and told him all about his plan.

"If you want to take advantage of the location of Baidi City, this place will definitely become a battlefield. The first thing to ensure is the safety of the people. Can the marshal think of a countermeasure?" Shen Hao thought a little longer than other soldiers. Gu Hanzhao heard this, his eyes were full is appreciated.

"Ling Xing grew up in Baidi City, and he has a way." After Gu Hanzhao finished speaking, Lu Lingxing pointed to Baidi Mountain and said, "There are actually two Baidi Mountains, and you should all know that the taller one The short one is in front, the tall one blocks the short one, and those who don’t know should only know the tall one.”

Seeing everyone nodding, Lu Lingxing continued: "Baidi Mountain is famous for its Baidi Academy, so outsiders take it for granted that the taller one with Baidi Academy is Baidi Mountain." Lu Lingxing pointed to the mountain between the two mountains □□: "Ordinary people only know the topography of the tall one, but not much about the short one. There is a small road here. Because the terrain of the short one is not very high and there are no mountain treasures, so apart from Some children often come to play, and ordinary people rarely know that there is a trail here."

"I also have a friend who is from Baidi, but I have never heard of this trail?" Shen Hao frowned in confusion.

"There are no beasts in the valley, only some rabbits. No one has been here except the children from poor families who come here to pick some wild vegetables. I also found them out of curiosity when I came to play with them. The entrance to the trail is very hidden. The cover of the mountain is like a ray of sky, if you don’t get close, you can’t find it. As for your friends who don’t know, it’s because this trail has been around for no more than eight years!” Lu Lingxing said slyly: “The childishness of a teenager makes you Everyone's tense emotions eased a little.

"Indeed, eight years ago, there was an earth dragon turning over in Baidi City. It was not serious at the time, but I didn't expect to form this line of sky terrain on Baidi Mountain." Gu Hanzhao immediately explained, and Shen Hao's worries disappeared when he heard the words. Seven points.

"It's a blessing in disguise, but you know it's not a blessing." Shen Hao can only sigh in this way now.

"Time is running out now, and the Beiyuan army will find out if there is any movement in the army. We can't act aggressively to evacuate the people, but we can temporarily attract Beiyuan's attention. As for the evacuation of the people in the city, I will leave it to my uncle , that is, Ling Xing's father, and the Lu family has some prestige in Baidi City, so it seems that there will be no problem." After Gu Hanzhao finished speaking, Shen Hao lost even the last third of his worries.Gu Hanzhao said it too modestly, the Lu family has more than some prestige in Baidi City, now with the help of the Lu family, it is more concealed and effective than letting the Nanze army go directly.

Several people agreed on some details, and after Gu Hanzhao had finished explaining all the tasks, Shen Hao got up and left.

"After the people have evacuated from Baidi City and settle down, I have to trouble uncle." Gu Hanzhao said to Lu Lingxing who had been sitting obediently by the side.If this kid wanted to join the army on impulse a few years ago, now he has fully grown up and is no longer childlike.

"Well, leave the matter of Baidi City to us. Cousin, you can just fight with peace of mind." Gu Hanzhao couldn't help chuckling inwardly when he saw that he looked like a grown-up, and stretched out his hands to mess up his long hair.

Lu Lingxing dodged Gu Hanzhao's attack, managed to snatch his hair back, and asked worriedly: "It's easy for others to talk about, cousin, what should the fifth prince do?"

Gu Hanzhao also had a headache when he heard the words, and Zhao Jianyu saw it and said: "The fifth prince's injury is actually not serious, it just hurts the root, and the recuperation time is longer. He and Imperial Doctor Xu are in a hurry to return to Beijing and wait for two days Once you can get out of bed, you will be impatient to leave Baidi City."

Gu Hanzhao thought that Feng Sheng's temperament was indeed like this, if he knew that the people of Baidi City had left, he would be even more eager to return to the capital.Whether Emperor Xuanwu would blame him for this war is another matter. With his cowardly and life-threatening appearance, he probably felt that only Fengshouzhou was the safest place.

This matter was indeed as Gu Hanzhao and the others thought, Feng Sheng cherished his life, he didn't know the news of the retreat of the people of Baidi City on the first day, and Gu Zi retreated in the mansion to recuperate.But that he didn't know the news didn't mean that Imperial Physician Xu didn't know, and Imperial Physician Xu came to Feng Sheng the next day.

When Feng Sheng heard this, he immediately clamored to return to the capital, the prefect really had no choice but to ask Gu Hanzhao for help.Gu Hanzhao couldn't control him, he used an excuse to avoid seeing him, but the magistrate had no choice but to order people to prepare everything and send Fengsheng back to Beijing.

Gu Hanzhao didn't want to pay attention to it at first, and he didn't even want to transfer the escort.But thinking that Feng Yu would go back with him, he dispatched a group of elite soldiers from the generals of the Zhao family, and sent secret guards to follow.

On the other side of the battlefield, the third prince of Beiyuan was quite afraid of Gu Hanzhao. It was because he was so famous in Beiyuan back then that he turned the tide of the battle by himself.The third prince was cautious, and finally chose to probe slowly, trying every means to spy on the opponent's strength.
