After I was reborn, I was scumbag

Xia Tong was at the end of the army's team, and neatly dealt with the servant who sent the flute from the Hou's mansion, without opening the box to check it, and directly handed it over to Murong Xing.

The carved sandalwood box exuded a very pleasant fragrance, Murong Xing opened the wooden box, and there was only a jade flute inside.

The bottom of the box is very thin, Murong Xing went in and tapped it a few times, the sound of the wood was very dull, it can be seen that there is no interlayer.

Xia Tong looked at the face of his son: "My son, but what is hidden in this box?"

His slender and well-proportioned fingers caressed the flute inch by inch, the transparent jade color looked crystal clear under the thin sunlight, and no suspicious cracks could be felt on the fingertips.

"There is nothing." A cold light flashed from the boy's eyes, and he casually put the flute into the wooden box, closed it again and handed it to Xia Tong.

Xia Tong secretly thought about why there was nothing else in the box, but his eldest son's expression became more serious, and he asked with his hands clasped.

"My lord, do you want to hand over the things to Mr. Qi?"

"Well, you can take your things there. If he asks, he will say that the military report has just been delivered from the front, and I can't get away."

"My subordinate understands."

The army drove all the way for two days, and found a relatively wide pasture by the river. Shao Guan ordered to camp there and rest for one night.

"Please look, Your Highness, this is Mazong Mountain. The terrain is steep, and it is an excellent place to set up an ambush..."

"Gu has never been in contact with military affairs before, which made several generals laugh at him."

Shao Guan looked down at the various cities, mountains and rivers marked on the prepared sand table, and said with a smile.

Because it was in the camp, the boy did not wear heavy silver armor, only apricot yellow uniform, the boy Fengshen Junxiu, spent a few days with the generals in the army camp, and his brows also brought some bitterness of killing. gas.

The generals in the tent didn't know much about His Highness the Crown Prince, seeing that he was extremely humble and kind, without a trace of arrogance and arrogance, and cared about military affairs, they couldn't help feeling a little good in their hearts.

"Your Highness is too polite. It is the honor of the last general to be able to explain His Highness's doubts."

Several people chatted and laughed again, and then heard the salutation of the guards outside the tent: "I have seen Mr. Murong."

"The crown prince is here—we are discussing the war with His Royal Highness the crown prince."

"En." Murong Xing responded lightly, "Where did the discussion go?"

"I thought we could send an elite iron cavalry to ambush from behind Mamane Mountain..."

Murong Xingfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, noncommittal: "It won't be too late to discuss this matter after we reach Jiayuguan, and we have to hurry tomorrow morning, so you generals, go back to the camp first and rest early."

Shao Guan looked away from the sand table and looked at the stern side face of the young man beside him.

"Is there anything you want to say to Gu?"

"I really want to ask His Highness, what does His Highness think about setting up an ambush on Mazong Mountain?"

"Although Mazong Mountain is suitable for setting up an ambush, according to the reports from the spies in front, the Wei soldiers only have [-] troops at the front, and reinforcements are constantly coming from the rear. If we go out of Jiayuguan to meet the enemy, we will easily fall into a disadvantage..."

In the battle against Wei in the previous life, he was led by a veteran general in the court. After leaving Jiayuguan to meet the enemy, although he won several battles by setting up ambushes because of his familiarity with the terrain, he misjudged the strength of the Wei army, resulting in heavy casualties.

Although a large area of ​​lost ground was recovered in the end, more than [-] casualties were paid, and the damage to the national strength was not insignificant.

"That's why I thought that since the Wei soldiers spent so much money, food and troops to attack our girders, it is impossible to just capture a few small cities and stop."

"Our [-] army plus the original defenders of Jiayuguan occupies a favorable location, and it is not difficult to defend the pass. It may be better to wait for the Wei army to attack the city with heavy losses and low morale, and then send troops to attack."

"That's right." Murong Xing pursed his lips, his eyes seemed to stray across the youthful and handsome brows presumptuously, but there was restrained darkness in his eyes.

"Since His Highness has already thought it through so thoroughly, why didn't the few generals speak out when they were there just now?"

Shao Guan pursed his lips: "Gu has never been in contact with war before. I am afraid that the generals will not be convinced by Gu's words. Gu can think of this strategy, and the son can certainly do it. Isn't it better for the son to say it?" ?"

"When we enter Jiayuguan, I will discuss this matter with the generals, and we will not take away your Highness's military exploits."

Shao Guan was stunned for a moment, Murong Xing's tone was too calm, his mind went blank for a moment, and then he realized the meaning of Murong Xing's words.

"The son's words are..."

Shao Guan's brows were slightly locked, and his tone was a little urgent, "I have never thought about the merits of this expedition."

"Really? Your Highness didn't say that the same ministers said that the power of the Marquis of Pingxi is still needed to stabilize the crown prince. Doesn't Your Highness want such a great achievement for this expedition?"

"... Ruogu said that Gu really wanted some military power, but more importantly, he wanted the people of Daliang to be spared from the flames of war and not to be displaced. It should belong to the military merits of the soldiers, and Gu never thought of dividing it. Will the son believe it?"

The flickering candles shrouded the young man's thin body, and the beating heart of the candle was reflected in the pitch-black peach blossom eyes. His voice was serious, yet there was a hint of expectation.

It's just that the light in the black eyes suddenly disappeared when it touched Murong Xing's expressionless face.

"Your Majesty ordered His Royal Highness to be the supervisor of the army. This is also the meaning. Your Highness does not need to deny it in a hurry. It is getting late, and I will leave first. Your Highness should also rest earlier."

"Murong Shizi, wait a minute." Shao Guan moved his fingertips slightly, seeing Murong Xing stop, and took a porcelain bottle from the table not far away.

There was unstoppable disappointment in his heart, but he still smiled, as if he didn't take Murong Xing's words to heart.

"This is the medicine in the palace. It is very good for treating sword wounds. Take it, my son."

Night completely enveloped the forest.

Murong Xing sat in Qi Yuanxiu's tent for a few moments before returning to the camp.

The young man with the characteristics of a foreigner sat on the bed, watching Murong Xing's figure disappear into the night, a strange look suddenly appeared on his pale face.

Qi Yuanxiu lifted the quilt and got up, his gauze-wrapped hands suddenly became so flexible that he didn't look like a wounded man with a broken tendon. He walked carefully to the table and took the flute.

He touched the flute lightly with his lips and blew a few air sounds, the flute made a slight sound, and a thumb-sized opening suddenly opened on the inner side of the flute.

Qi Yuanxiu took a handkerchief, gently poured the fine white powder inside into the handkerchief, wrapped it up, and put it into the cuff of his outer robe.

"You two military lords, can you bring a basin of clean water for me, please."

The guards outside looked at each other and said impatiently, "Okay, just wait a while."

Put the flute into the water, and the remaining powder quickly disappeared without any abnormalities.
