I want to do something big [fast travel]

In the middle of the night, the Yuecheng Council Hall was brightly lit.

Although Yuecheng now has enough soldiers and horses, the situation facing He Zhengqi is still not optimistic.

Yuecheng is different from Shenluguan.

There are Xing'an Mountains on the west and south sides of Shenlu Pass, and Sishui to the east and north. The terrain is condescending. They will be attacked by the city defenders, and even ants cannot climb the city.

Therefore, after Mu Jing led [-] elite soldiers and was defeated in Yancheng, General Shen Lu still dared to send people to Yancheng after receiving the false letter.

The unique terrain makes Shenluguan qualified to win more with less. There are many stories in history that [-] defenders defended the city pass and forced back [-] enemy troops.

Shenluguan had this confidence, so they dared to attack Yancheng for the second time, and dared to send a large number of reinforcements to Yuecheng.

But Yuecheng didn't have the confidence.

There is an open basin in front of Yuecheng City. Although there are mountains on both sides, they cannot form a condescending position, and there are no rivers to block the enemy's formation, so the number of defenders must not be small.

Now the Geser Grand Chancellor stood up in the middle of the night, frightening the tribes, and the 12 troops once again twisted into one rope.Although the Yuecheng reinforcements had arrived, they only added up to 7 people, which was a little thin.

He Zhengqi needs to properly use every ounce of troops in his hands to ensure that he does not lose the city.

The orders were issued one by one, and the generals took the orders and left one after another. Zhong Wenzhuo sat at the bottom left, and the more he listened, the more impatient he became.

Finally, his name was called.

"Zhong Wenzhuo!"

"exist!"

"I allow you to lead two thousand soldiers and horses to guard the south gate."

south gate?

That is the city gate facing Daqing, what can be guarded?

But He Zhengqi is the coach, he is just a lieutenant general promoted by Mu Jing, so naturally there is no room for rejection.

"Yes!" Zhong Wenzhuo continued after taking the order, "General, Gu Yanqi had something to say before he left..."

"Is this Yuecheng guard me or Gu Yanqi!" He Zhengqi's eyes showed a stern look, "If you want to listen to Gu Yanqi, you can get out of Yuecheng and go to the north to find him!"

He has been through the battlefield for a long time, and his deterrent power is no better than that of ordinary people. Everyone in the hall was terrified by this cry, but Zhong Wenzhuo is not an ordinary person.

"You think I'm willing to stay in Yuecheng!" Zhong Wenzhuo is not easy to provoke, he said bluntly, "His Royal Highness asked me to learn from you! Bah! With Gu Yanqi beside me, what can I do?" Learn more!"

"This is your attitude towards the general!?"

"This is your attitude towards the heroes who saved His Highness Prince Gong and the Daqing National Games!"

The generals looked panicked, looked left and right, fidgeted for a while, finally someone couldn't sit still, got up and said: "General, I just remembered that there are important matters to be dealt with on the city wall, so I will leave first!"

All the generals quickly echoed, He Zhengqi waved impatiently: "Go, go."

In the blink of an eye, there was no one else in the room, only Zhong Wenzhuo and He Zhengqi.

"Guilty? Don't dare to let others stay!" Zhong Wenzhuo sneered.

"I brought the soldiers! I guarded the city! Why am I guilty!" He Zhengqi's eyes were cold, "What's more... a hero? Gu Yanqi is not worthy!"

"He Zhengqi! Do you still have a conscience! Gu Yanqi—"

"Why do I treat Gu Yanqi as my housework!" He Zhengqi finally lost his patience, and he said coldly, "His Royal Highness kept you here to let you learn to lead the army and fight, not to let you meddle in other people's affairs." Chores!"

Zhong Wenzhuo's face was stern.

"That's only if you don't overdo it!"

"He Zhengqi! During this month, have you understood what Gu Yanqi has done!"

"Rushing from Beijing to Yuecheng in six days is already difficult for ordinary people. He is still a patient with heart disease!"

"On the way, he was sick and fell off his horse and passed out. The first thing he did when he woke up was to climb on the horse and continue on his way!"

"What is he doing it for? For Daqing Jiangshan!"

"Don't be kidding! When did his grand master ever care about this son! If it wasn't because he was too embarrassing to marry a man, he probably wouldn't even remember Gu Yanqi!"

Zhong Wenzhuo said with hatred.

"I followed him from Beijing to Yuecheng, and I saw with my own eyes how his body became thinner step by step to what he is now! Look at his face! Is that something a healthy person can have!"

"You say he is not worthy now, okay! Then don't stand here, go back to Xing'an Mountains!"

The young general pointed to the mountains stretching to the east. Just ten days ago, there was a green death cage.

"Do you think you were lucky enough to escape when you found an unguarded intersection by the barbarians?"

"You're wrong! It was Gu Yanqi who deliberately made His Royal Highness Prince Gong attract the attention of the barbarians! He dared to risk the world's disgrace, and asked Prince Gong to save you from disasters with his body of a thousand pieces of gold!"

"You keep saying that he is not worthy?"

"Why doesn't he deserve it! Why doesn't he deserve it!"

"Don't say that he is your wife, even if he is not! His merits cannot be erased by your words!"

Zhong Wenzhuo turned around in the room angrily, and the soles of his boots stepped hard on the ground, making a crisp sound.

"A character like this, do you deserve it! He Zhengqi! You beat your conscience and say you deserve it!"

He Zhengqi's face turned blue and white, and he sat on the chair without moving.

After a long while, Zhong Wenzhuo picked up the teacup amidst Zhong Wenzhuo's louder questioning.

"It's getting late at night, Lieutenant General Zhong, please go back."

"You!" Zhong Wenzhuo was too angry to speak.

He is really worthless for Gu Yanqi, what is there to like about such a person, what is worth him dragging his sick body and rushing thousands of miles to save him!

I don't want my life, and I just get such a sentence that I don't deserve it! ?

"You will regret it sooner or later."

Zhong Wenzhuo glared at He Zhengqi viciously, walked out of the room, and closed the door heavily.

Bang!

He Zhengqi seemed aroused by the sound, and threw the teacup hard on the ground.

"Bah! The hype is a disgusting smelly man!" He sneered, "You want me to regret it? It's impossible in the next life!"

then a man...

Such a man!How worthy to be his wife!

His wife should be a lady of every family, who can bear him a son, help him inherit the status of a great general, be recognized by the clan, and bring the He family to a higher level!

It wasn't Gu Yanqi, the man who couldn't give birth to a cub and made the He family give up on him!

It's definitely not Gu Yanqi!

"We're running out of food!" Gesser stared at his generals, "Even if we can drink mare's milk to satisfy our hunger, we only have one month left. After one month, if we can't capture Yuecheng, we must withdraw our troops! "

The generals stared at the sand table, looking a little embarrassed.

"The Qing people now have soldiers and horses, even if they think about it quickly..."

"It's nothing." Gesser's eyes swept over, and the generals immediately shut up, and he continued, "One month, if the gate of Yuecheng can't be broken, you and I will die."

The eldest prince Mo Zhigen studied the sand table carefully, and suddenly said: "Father Khan, our army's food and grass are only enough for a month to chew, so what about the Qing people?"

There was silence in the big tent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Prince Mozhigen, which made Prince Morigen puff up his chest unconsciously.

Before he broke the fence with poisonous schemes, although he failed to capture Yuecheng, he showed his face in front of everyone, which made him quite proud.

"Father Khan, we are worrying about food and grass, why not Qingren!"

The food in Yuecheng City could have been supported for a month, but it was only enough for five or six days after the reinforcements arrived.Without food, men and horses cannot fight, and food has become the most critical factor in this battle.

He Zhengqi asked Zhong Wenzhuo to guard the south gate, perhaps because he hoped that the transportation of grain and grass would be worry-free.

"Father, look at it! The Yuecheng is backed by the Xing'an Mountains, and the transportation of grain and grass is extremely difficult!" Prince Morigen cheered up, pointing to the sand table, and talking eloquently, "The only grain road is very narrow, and the only spacious road It's only a short section of 700 meters."

"Once this road is cut off, Yuecheng's grain and grass will be in urgent need."

"Impossible." Geser Shanyu thought carefully, "If we want to stop the grain road, we have to go through Yuecheng first. It's not so easy."

"Father Khan, I can take two thousand cavalry through the mountains on the east side and hide beside the grain road. When the Qing people pass by, I will rob them of their grain. If I can't take it away, I will burn it!" Mo Ri Prince Gen said, "After the matter is completed, the two thousand cavalry can take the path, disperse across the mountains and return to the camp!"

"Can two thousand cavalry break through the Qing army's grain team?"

"The grain road is within the territory of Daqing. Most of the food transporters are peasants. The combat power is really unbearable. Two thousand cavalry are enough."

"Although this plan is dangerous, it is feasible." Gesser discussed it with the generals in the tent and came to a conclusion, "When you intercept the Qing army's food road, I can still mobilize the army to pretend to attack the city and lure the Vietnamese The strength of the city."

"In this way, as long as you move fast enough and covertly enough, you can return to the camp smoothly."

"For these two thousand cavalry, I will choose the most powerful warrior from the personal guard battalion for you!"

In the middle of winter, it is extremely cold on the grassland.

The barbarian tribe still had traces of last night's carnival, and the bones of livestock and the burnt bonfire made the land extraordinarily messy.

After Gu Yanqi finished his breakfast, he saw that the soldiers had taken all the barbarians out of the tribe according to his order, and stood in a group outside.

He took a breath of hot air towards his hands, rubbed his cold hands a little, got on his horse, and came to Mu Jing's side.

"Your Highness, we should set off."

Mu Jing nodded, looked at the soldiers lined up in front of him, and in the eyes of everyone expecting, he said loudly: "Set fire!"

The torch fell on the pile of dry grass, and in an instant the whole tribe was ablaze.

Tents, fences, fodder...

This tribe and all traces of its existence disappeared into the world with this fire.

But this is not over yet.

The soldiers looked at the barbarians who were still alive, and their eyes burst out with cruel light.

As long as Mu Jing gives an order, these people will kill the barbarians without hesitation, just like slaughtering cattle and sheep.

But Mu Jing didn't do that.

"Untie them." Gu Yanqi said.

Doubtful emotions appeared in the eyes of the soldiers, and they didn't go forward to untie the rope until Mu Jing nodded in agreement.

The barbarian moved his wrists that had been tied all night, but he was equally confused.

Gu Yanqi walked over.

He said in a barbarian language that he was not fluent in: "You did not harm the noble people of Daqing yesterday. The great Prince Gong pardoned you for your past crimes. This tribe has been burned, and the evil thugs and their captive beasts have all been punished." .”

"Starting today, you will be free."

Gu Yanqi returned to Mu Jing's side, while the Daqing cavalry took three days of dry food and left in the sound of horseshoes.

In the huge grassland, there were only three or four hundred barbarians standing alone. They had no place to live, no food, and the only thing left was the cotton padded clothes they were wearing.

"Elder, what shall we do?"

The terrified barbarians looked at the elders.

"Let's go to the king's account! Go to Chanyu Geser!" The elder's eyes burst into flames of hatred, "He has attracted these demons, and he must get rid of them!"

The tribes on the grassland are like a sky full of stars, countless.

The Qing army left the last tribe, and had taken down two tribes before sunset.

Still like the first tribe, the barbarians who dared to resist were killed, the cattle and sheep were killed, the tents were burned, the horses were taken away, and finally the barbarians with only winter clothes left on their bodies were let go.

Before sunset, they decided to camp at the third tribe they found.

This tribe is different from yesterday's. It is obviously much bigger. There are six to seven hundred tribesmen who can mount horses and fight. Although there are women and children among them, they have indeed brought troubles to the Qing army.

On the second day after entering the grassland, the Qing army suffered casualties for the first time.

"Seven died, and one hundred and three were injured." Jing Zhongjin reported sternly, his eyes kept drifting to Gu Yanqi, and finally couldn't help but say, "Young master, you have to let those people go this time." Barbarians?"

"The corpses of the soldiers have been properly disposed of," Gu Yanqi replied without raising his head, "the barbarians killed all those who took up weapons, and released those who did not take them tomorrow morning."

Jing Zhongjin showed a look of resentment: "Young master, you released those people last time, so you let them go. Today, these people killed many of us!"

Gu Yanqi looked up at him thoughtfully.

"Chongjin thinks that if someone is arrested and then released, the soldiers will die in vain?"

Jing Zhongjin was an honest man, his face was flushed, and he nodded.

"Even Chongjin thinks the same way, I'm afraid there are quite a few people who think this way."

"My lord, I have absolutely no intention of questioning you!" Jing Zhongjin hastily explained.

Gu Yanqi smiled and comforted him: "Chongjin is a man, I know it, you can tell me this matter in person, Yan Qi is very grateful."

Only then did Jing Zhongjin feel relieved.

"I didn't think carefully about this matter. Now that I have discovered it at this time, there is no reason to let it go." Gu Yanqi put away the map in his hand, stood up, "Let's go, I will solve this matter tonight."

Mr. Gu is indeed Mr. Gu!

Jing Zhongjin looked at his back in admiration, and hurriedly followed.

The soldiers are immersed in the carnival of the night.

Among them were Yuecheng guards and reinforcements from Shenluguan, but no matter where the soldiers came from, they seldom had a full meal of meat.

Most of what the imperial court supplied to the army was food that was convenient for storage, and meat was extremely scarce, and even if it was available, it would give priority to supplying high-ranking generals.

The soldiers ate dry food every day, and a mouthful of hot porridge could fill their stomachs, but they couldn't talk about their appetite.

It is different now.

The Qing army took away all the fat and delicious livestock that the barbarians had raised for a whole year, and slaughtered them on the spot. Some tents were torn down and a barbecue feast was held on the spot. Even if the seasoning was only a little salt, it was enough to make people eat with gusto.

All of a sudden, the entire tribe's cattle and sheep were eaten up by the Wuqianqing people.

The barbarians felt distressed when they saw it. The woman was holding the baby and weeping, and an elder-like man cursed loudly.

"You are all devils! You will be punished!"

Gu Yanqi walked among the soldiers, and he noticed that the expressions of some soldiers began to waver, and they stared back at the barbarians with vicious eyes, as if they wished to draw their knives and cut them directly.

Those who guard the frontier all the year round, who doesn't have blood feud with these barbarians.

The thought of not being able to kill these people tomorrow, but letting them go instead, made these soldiers unwilling from the bottom of their hearts.

Gu Yanqi had already made up his mind.

Qing Jun's carnival was interrupted.

The generals brought them together in front of a temporary high platform, and after a short wait, they saw Prince Gong Mu Jing and Gu Yanqi coming up to the high platform hand in hand.

It's like mobilizing for a war.

But this time it was not the familiar Prince Gong who spoke, but Gu Yanqi, a counselor in white.

"Is everyone eating well!"

Gu Yanqi asked with a smile.

Jing Zhongjin was the first to respond: "Thank you Mr. Gu, I'm waiting for a good meal!"

"Killing barbarians can be fun!"

This time more people responded.

"Happy! So happy!"

"I'm happy too!" Gu Yanqi said loudly, "These barbarians! They killed so many people of my Daqing!"

"They are lazy! They don't do production! Whenever they run out of food, they come to Daqing!"

"Our brothers and sisters were killed by them! Our crops and food were robbed by them! Even our women were insulted by them!"

"Before! We can't take revenge! Because these cunning barbarians can hide in the grassland at any time, but we can't get out!"

"But it's different now!"

He opened his hands wide, as if embracing the world, but his expression was so gentle.

"Now it's our turn to break into the grassland and take revenge on them!"

"We can kill these vicious barbarians! We can take back the robbed livestock and food! Just yesterday! Today! We have already brought down three tribes!"

"Next, we will lay down more tribes! Kill more barbarians!"

The five thousand soldiers heard their blood boiling, and couldn't help shouting: "Kill them all!! Kill them all!!"

"Of course we can kill them all!"

Gu Yanqi shook his head.

"But I didn't ask you to do that!"

"We are not barbarians! We are the people of Daqing with more than 2000 years of civilization!"

Gu Yanqi shouted loudly, his pale cheeks flushed a little.

"Of course we should kill them! But we never kill innocent people indiscriminately!"

"Those who dare to ride horses and take up arms to resist are the enemies who have invaded our homes and robbed our women!"

"Of course they should be killed! And none of them will be left!"

"But look at these people!"

Gu Yanqi pointed at the barbarians who were huddled together, and sneered unabashedly.

"The relatives were killed and their homes were destroyed, but they didn't even dare to resist!"

"Such cowards don't even dare to protect their own homeland, yet they expect them to invade Daqing!?"

The five thousand soldiers laughed happily and proudly, and their eyes were all full of light.

That is contempt for the enemy, and the pride of being a Daqing person!

When Daqing was invaded, each of them dared to mount a horse and fight! !

"So! We will kill their cattle and sheep! Eat their food! Burn their tents! We will also cut off their heads and cast them into Jingguan!"

"We will kill everyone who dares to violate us! Let them pay the price in blood!"

"We want all the barbarians to understand that if you offend Daqing, you will be punished even if you are far away!"

Gu Yanqi drew out his long sword and stuck it on the high platform!

"Although it is far away, it will be punished!!!"

5000 people broke out into crazy roars.

"And these cowards who dare not resist when their homes are invaded!!"

Gu Yanqi laughed.

"Daqing people don't bother to kill them!"

His voice was too weak for the roar of 5000 people, but when he spoke, no one would interrupt him.

The soldiers laughed together with him.

Those barbarians who are like gutter rats are not worthy of being the ghosts of the Daqing people!

"Tomorrow morning, bring what food and horses you can take away, and burn their tents, those cowards, let them find their own way of life."

"And we have dozens, hundreds of tribal enemies waiting to be killed!"

"Kill them all!!"

The shouts of 5000 people shook the entire grassland, and even the clusters of burning bonfires trembled slightly amidst the layers of sound waves.

The barbarian captives hugged each other tremblingly, and no one dared to make a sound.

In their eyes, these five thousand soldiers were not human at all.

They are wolves!It's a tiger!It's a leopard!

It is a beast born for killing!

Gu Yanqi looked at everything in front of him with satisfaction.

Yes, what he needs is such a group of soldiers!

Like wild beasts, they will expose their sharp claws and bite fiercely at every barbarian tribe on the grassland!

Gu Yanqi believed that as the attacks on the barbarian tribes on the grassland were launched again and again, with each victory, he would get a top army in the world!

And he himself will establish a powerful and unshakable image in the hearts of these 5000 people!

At that time, as long as there is no official military order from the imperial court, he will be the invisible leader of this army.

At this moment, a soldier trotted over and whispered something in Gu Yanqi's ear, which gradually weakened the cheers of the soldiers. They looked at Gu Yanqi with suspicious eyes, waiting for the news brought by the soldier.

Gu Yanqi revealed a look of surprise.

"Soldiers!" he yelled, "you are lucky today! We just found a tent full of spirits!"

"It's all good wine hidden by these barbarians!"

"Oooo!!!"

The scene boiled again.

There is a ban on alcohol in the military, and these elders don't know how long it has been since they had a good drink!

In the cold winter, you need this sip of spirits!

Gu Yanqi raised his hand above his head and patted it lightly.

It's like a ban, making this boiling sea quiet for a moment.

"His Royal Highness! Today is our first victory, and we have both wine and meat. I wonder if you can allow us to get drunk for a night!"

Gu Yanqi looked at Mu Jing from a distance in the silence.

The gazes of thousands of soldiers followed him.

At this moment, he spontaneously became a member of this group of soldiers and their opinion leader. He could speak on their behalf, speak on their behalf, and make all decisions on their behalf!

He is not leading them, but leading them!

"Okay!" Mu Jing smiled brightly, "But today you can only drink alcohol and not get drunk. If anyone gets drunk and can't keep up with the team tomorrow morning, then don't blame yourself for being left behind!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Gu Yanqi bowed and thanked immediately.

The five thousand soldiers in front of him also turned around following his movements and shouted loudly.

"Thank you Your Highness!!!"

Today's grassland is destined to be a sleepless night!
