I want to do something big [fast travel]

Gu Yanqi's judgment was not wrong.

Less than an hour after they left, the scouts who stayed behind came to report that the barbarian soldiers had already caught up.

This made Mu Jing immediately adopted Gu Yanqi's opinion, and led the whole army on the road overnight.

As soon as he left, he walked out of the Xing'an Mountains.

Surrounded by plains rather than dense forests and trees, the ground underfoot is solid rather than soft and rotten soil covered with fallen leaves.

Many soldiers cried out excitedly.

They knew that the most dangerous moment had passed, as long as they rushed to Yuecheng, their lives would be saved.

Jing Zhongjin fetched water for Gu Yanqi, and the battle in the Xing'an Mountains convinced him of this young nobleman, and even made him want to follow him directly.

When he thought of the other party's subordinates with He Zhengqi, he couldn't hold back his thoughts.

If you beg Mr. Gu, maybe after returning to Yuecheng, he will really be able to fight under the opponent's hand.

But Mr. Gu's health is also a big problem.

The other party was carried out of the Xing'an Mountains by people in turn.

His body was too weak, and people even suspected that he would die on the way. If Mu Jing hadn't tried his best to resist the crowd and let the whole army accommodate the opponent from time to time, Gu Yanqi's situation would have been even worse.

These miserable days are finally over.

Gu Yanqi took a sip of water, and before he could catch his breath, Jing Zhongjin's face changed suddenly, and he pressed his finger on the hilt of the sword.

"Young master, there are cavalry!"

The comfortable atmosphere dissipated, and almost at the same time, Mu Jing's order spread throughout the camp.

"The whole army is on alert! Watch out for enemy attacks!"

Yuecheng, outside the city gate.

Cheng Yi looked at the cavalry behind him, and said to Zhong Wenzhuo hesitantly, "Young Master Zhong, are we really going out like this?"

Zhong Wenzhuo cast him a sideways glance: "Commander Cheng, you have done all the big things, why are you afraid of such a small thing?"

Cheng Yi sighed: "Young Master Zhong, don't laugh at me. You have hollowed out the bottom of Yuecheng these days. If the barbarians really don't come, I'm afraid my head will have to be replaced."

After all, Cheng Yi was the commander of Yuechengwei, and he had no intention of doing exactly what he said in the letter of taking care of Yan Qi. For such a big matter, who knows if he can still be the commander after finishing it.

How could he have thought that Zhong Wenzhuo, who remained as a hostage, was not someone to be trifled with. He and the dozen or so soldiers who stayed behind changed Yuecheng's sky in just one day.

For more than ten days, not to mention enjoying the blessings as before, Zhong Wenzhuo almost emptied all the money and food that he had been greedy for in the past.

Fortunately, I am finally going to do the last thing in this letter today.

That is to take five hundred cavalry and one thousand horses and wait somewhere.

Zhong Wenzhuo sneered, and led the cavalry forward, but Cheng Yi was so angry that he had to lead others to follow.

A group of people set off from Yuecheng and approached the destination after galloping for an hour and a half. At this time, Zhong Wenzhuo suddenly said.

"The situation ahead is not right!"

I saw countless figures appearing vaguely in the distance. At first glance, there were more than 1000 people.

These more than 1000 people were dressed in tattered clothes, each of them was shattered, and there was no flag to show their identity, but each of them was carrying a weapon, and there was a fierce look in their eyes.

The Yuecheng soldiers and horses immediately became vigilant.

Zhong Wenzhuo felt something was wrong sensitively, he drove forward alone, and was about to reveal his identity, when he saw a man in white clothes coming out from the opposite side.

"Don't panic, I'm back."

"It's Mr. Gu?" Cheng Yi looked at the thousands of people behind him in surprise, "What... what's going on?"

Gu Yanqi clasped his fists at them and said, "The situation is urgent, let's talk about it when we get back to Yuecheng. Have you brought the horse I want?"

"Brought it."

Gu Yanqi then said to Mu Jing: "Your Highness, please let all the soldiers get on their horses, we will return to Yue City right away!"

It was only then that Zhong Wenzhuo noticed the conspicuous man beside him, and exclaimed, "His Royal Highness!?"

"Wen Zhuo." Mu Jing nodded to him, and immediately ordered everyone to mount their horses, and the two rode together, the number was just right.

This makes people wonder whether Gu Yanqi is clear about how many people he can save.

What a monster.

Because of the horses, the return journey was much easier. Mu Jing seized the time and calculated the losses of these days with all the soldiers.

Things like war drums and flags were thrown on the battlefield because they were too cumbersome. Apart from their weapons and clothing to keep out the cold, they left nothing behind.

Nearly 300 soldiers died in battle, five or six hundred, and more than 100 people died one after another due to injuries, hunger, and cold when crossing the mountains and forests. Now, less than [-] people can return to Yuecheng.

This is great luck.

I hope that when he brings these more than 1000 people back to Shenluguan, Shenluguan has not yet fallen.

Mu Jing was thinking about how to rush to help Shenlu Pass, but suddenly there was a tremor beside his ear.

The general with a loud voice shouted in shock.

"This is Yuecheng?!"

Mu Jing frowned, only feeling a little croaking, and was about to silence people, but when he raised his head, he also froze.

This is Yuecheng?

In his impression, Yuecheng is a small city in a ravine, which is incomparable to Shenluguan, but what is he seeing now?

It is the pits and ropes that cover the entire land, the rows of wooden fences that are deeply embedded in the ground, and the spirited soldiers on the city wall!

These things are like armor, protecting the entire city of Yue as airtight.

Mu Jing can say without hesitation that even if the barbarians are here now, they will not be able to capture Yuecheng!

But what's the point?

There is no reason for the barbarians to come here to attack Yuecheng!

Beat Shenlu Pass, they can get more food!

Do not!

wrong!

If you can do that, this useless arrangement will become a stroke of genius again!

Gu Yanqi seemed to see through what he was thinking at a glance: "Your Highness, don't worry, there will be no loss in Shenluguan, and the barbarians will definitely attack Yuecheng aggressively."

"What did Young Master Gu do?" A strange look flashed in Mu Jing's eyes.

He couldn't imagine what kind of schemes were still in this man's mind.

"Before entering the Xing'an Mountains, the General asked me to send someone to Shenlu Pass to deliver a letter. As long as the guard of Shenlu Pass acts according to the letter, the person who needs to worry must be Grand Chanyu Geser."

"What was written in the letter?" The impatient general asked repeatedly.

If anyone told them that a letter could make the barbarians run across the city, they would never believe it.

But who made Gu Yanqi speak?

For this noble young man who was able to repel [-] barbarians with a hundred cavalry, they didn't say anything, but they were convinced in their hearts.

Gu Yanqi didn't give a shit, and said directly: "After receiving the letter, I asked General Shen Lu to dispatch three thousand soldiers to attack Yancheng by surprise!"

"What!" Cheng Yi almost fell off his horse, "Isn't this going to send someone to die!"

Daqing just lost the battle in Yancheng, why did Gu Yanqi ask people to go to Yancheng!

But at this moment, everyone heard Mu Jing's admiration.

"Shen Lu Guan Guo will not lose! Your son is a great talent!"

He actually bowed to Gu Yanqi from a distance right away!

Gu Yanqi immediately returned the salute: "Your Highness is serious, you are nothing more than mediocre."

"If you are mediocre, all the elites in the world will be ashamed." Seeing the puzzled expressions on the faces of the generals, Mu Jing simply explained, "The reason why General He and I defeated Yancheng was because Gesell had Let heavy soldiers guard Yancheng. And when we escape into the Xing'an Mountains, Gesell will take this opportunity to attack Shenlu Pass, and Yancheng will be empty at this time!"

"At this time, if we go to attack Yancheng by surprise, I'm afraid it will be like what I thought at the beginning. I will be able to occupy Yancheng first, attack back and forth, and force the barbarians out of Yancheng."

"Gesl leads the warriors of the entire prairie to go out to fight. If he gets nothing and loses his territory, the hearts of the tribes in the prairie will inevitably fluctuate, and he will not be able to sit firmly in the position of the Great Chancellor."

"For the present plan, he can only bypass the Xing'an Mountains, capture the weak Yuecheng, and take me back!"

"So Shenluguan will not lose, and Yuecheng has become the key to this battle!"

Seeing that the faces of the generals slowly revealed a look of surprise, Mu Jing's tone also became more appreciative.

"Calculating the time, when Mr. Gu sent someone to deliver the letter, we hadn't attacked Yancheng by surprise. When the letter arrived, it was after we escaped into the Xing'an Mountains."

This strategy is one link after another, and even the timing is just right. It can be said that it is a decisive victory thousands of miles away.

Mu Jing couldn't help thinking.

Why is this person loved by He Zheng? If it is in his hands...

But after thinking about it, He Zhengqi was so loyal, it didn't seem to make any difference whether this person was in the opponent's hands or in his hands.

About... that's right.

After entering Yuecheng, Mu Jing immediately took over the affairs of Yuecheng. After sorting out the current situation, a serious problem surfaced.

Shortage.

There were 100 people who escaped from the Xing'an Mountains, and 600 people from the Yuecheng Guard. Even if the 5000 or so people under Jing Zhongjin were counted, there were only about [-] people in Yuecheng at this time.

5000 people are more than enough to defend a Yuecheng, but to defend a Yuecheng that is about to be attacked by tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of barbarians, they can't even hold the top of the city!

Mu Jing judged that even with the defense equipment outside the city, they would not be able to last for three days.

And Shenluguan had to capture Yancheng first, and then he could dispatch troops to Yuecheng, and counting the marching time, the reinforcements could only arrive in six days at the earliest!

In the past three days, there are not enough soldiers, how can Yuecheng be defended!

"Don't worry, Your Highness, reinforcements will arrive before evening, you just need to prepare the banquet to welcome you."

Gu Yanqi hastily washed his body, put on clean clothes, escaped from Zhong Wenzhuo's surveillance secretly, and walked towards the meeting hall.

Fang walked into the gate, and he said so.

The generals have long been accustomed to his shocking words, and they didn't doubt it at all after hearing it. They only thought that this noble young master had prepared for it, so they speculated one after another.

"Could it be the troops transferred from nearby?"

"Or is it from the capital?"

Gu Yanqi shook his head, denying everyone's speculation, and just about to explain under Mu Jing's acquiescing gaze, he heard someone shouting outside the door.

"Gu! Qi!" Zhong Wenzhuo rushed in aggressively, grabbed Gu Yanqi who was running away, "You haven't taken your medicine yet!"

"I'm not sick again now, so I don't need to take medicine."

He hasn't finished talking yet.

Gu Yanqi glanced at Prince Gong from the corner of his eye.

Mu Jing met that gaze, his complexion sank, and he scolded Zhong Wenzhuo in a cold voice: "Young Master Gu cares about military affairs, so Wen Zhuo must not be rude!"

Seeing that Mu Jing was present, Zhong Wenzhuo shrank his neck, and immediately behaved like a little quail, but protested in a low voice: "Your Highness, please don't protect him in this matter, you don't know, Gu Qi has a serious heart Disease, but I don’t care about it, every time I get sick, I have to endure it, if I really don’t care, something will happen at any time.”

Mu Jing was startled.

He could see that Gu Yanqi was weak, but he didn't expect it to be so serious, so he couldn't follow what Gu Yanqi said.

"Young Master Gu, you'd better drink the medicine first, the king will take care of it on his own."

"Your Highness, I..."

"Gu Qi." Mu Jing used some threatening means, "If you don't go to recuperate, the king will not let you enter the conference hall."

Gu Yanqi had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, and was reluctantly taken back to the inner courtyard by Zhong Wenzhuo.

But as soon as he returned to the inner courtyard, he restrained all his emotions, grabbed the medicine Zhong Wenzhuo brought and drank it, threw the medicine bowl away and said: "Go and find Commander Cheng for me, and I want a prison uniform." .”

"Prison uniform?" Zhong Wenzhuo was confused, "What do you want this for?"

Gu Yanqi tapped him on the head: "Just ask for it, you ask so many at such a young age."

"If you don't tell me, I won't look for it!" Zhong Wenzhuo snorted, grabbed the medicine bowl, turned his head and left.

It would be nice if this kid was more obedient.

Gu Yanqi smiled lightly.

But it is also true, if he is really obedient and cat-like, how can he become a world-renowned young general at a young age.

At least the military arrangements in Yuecheng, without him, they really couldn't do it to this level.

But where do I get prison uniforms right now?

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard someone outside the courtyard saying respectfully: "Shen Luguan Qianhujing Chongjin, come and pay respects to Mr. Gu!"

Because of his brave performance in the first battle of Xing'an Mountains, Jing Zhongjin was promoted to a thousand households by Mu Jing as soon as he returned to Yuecheng, and his subordinates were temporarily in charge of five or six hundred soldiers.

Gu Yanqi's eyes lit up, how could he forget him, this Jing Zhongjin is not as unruly and unruly as Zhong Wenzhuo.

As Gu Yanqi said, Mu Jingguo arranged the generals' whereabouts, and then prepared a simple banquet in the guard.

In the evening, news came from the guards on the city wall that an army of nearly 5000 people was heading towards Yuecheng.

With Gu Yanqi's reminder, Mu Jing led the generals and waited outside the city early. When the face of the visitor clearly appeared in front of him, he was suddenly taken aback.

"General He?"

The person who came was He Zhengqi, the Great General of Shenwu!

He Zhengqi also looked surprised when he saw Mu Jing: "Why is Your Highness in Yuecheng?"

Mu Jing couldn't help laughing out loud: "It's a long story, the general is exhausted from traveling all the way, so let's go to rest for a while, the king has already prepared food and drink in the guard, and I'm waiting for the general to arrive!"

There were 6000 more people in one day, and the city suddenly seemed overcrowded. Fortunately, everyone fell asleep early due to the busy work, and there were no disturbances. Only the guards in the whole city seemed more lively.

Yuecheng is not rich in materials, so the so-called banquet is two dishes of green vegetables for one person, one plate of game, plus two grains of money and one pot of bad wine.

The dishes were poor, the drinks were tasteless, no one was in the mood for a banquet, and the only pleasure was to talk about the upcoming battle to defend the city. At this time, He Zhengqi became the most popular person at the banquet.

He was also trapped in the Xing'an Mountains and couldn't get out. He planned to find a place to come down and plan slowly, but he didn't expect that the barbarians who were stationed in the passage two days ago disappeared one after another, and his vigilance made him hesitate. It took two days to make up my mind, but I didn't expect Mu Jing and others to have arrived in Yuecheng.

The fact that he did not encounter a battle allowed the strength of his [-] elite soldiers to remain intact, making him the largest military force in Yuecheng at present.

The coach of this war is of course Mu Jing, but this does not prevent other generals from complimenting him.

He Zhengqi still enjoyed the star-studded treatment. He chatted happily for a while, but seeing that the banquet hadn't started yet, he couldn't help wondering: "Could it be that there are still people who haven't attended yet?"

The general next to him said: "Old He, you didn't go with us. I don't know the details. If you ask me, if you and this young master are not present today, there is no need for this banquet to continue!"

He Zhengqi hurriedly asked, and the general told all kinds of Gu Yanqi's deeds in detail, and when he heard that the other party was even sure that he would arrive in Yuecheng before evening, he couldn't help admiring: "This high-level People, He must make friends with someone!"

Because he is a rough man, He Zhengqi always likes people with real talents and real learning. Although he has never met this man named Gu Qi, he already has a good impression of him.

As soon as the words fell, everyone heard Mu Jing laughing: "Mr. Gu is finally here!"

He Zhengqi looked at Xunsheng, but his mind went blank!

Mu Jing held the wine glass to his lips but didn't drink it, he was not interested in what the generals were talking about, his eagle-like eyes were only staring at the door, he didn't know who he was waiting for.

As soon as Gu Yanqi's figure appeared, he called out, but when he saw the figure clearly, his voice stopped abruptly.

All the generals looked at it, but they were silent in vain.

The whole yard fell silent in the blink of an eye.

Gu Yanqi didn't seem to notice it, he stepped on the icy ground in December with his bare feet, only wearing a white prison uniform, which set off his slender and weak body, Kuai walked to the center of the banquet.

"The grassroots are late, His Highness Wanwang will make amends!"

Mu Jing stood up and said, "Young Master, why are you wearing this suit? Come here, quickly change Young Master Gu into winter clothes!"

Gu Yanqi knelt on his knees and said in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, Qi came here not to attend a banquet, but to apologize to you for three things."

"What's the matter, you get up and talk." Mu Jing's dark eyes showed a hint of worry.

Gu Yanqi shook his head, knelt firmly on the ground, and pressed his forehead to the ground.

"First thing, Your Highness, please punish me for going out of Beijing without permission!"

"It's a trivial matter, you don't have to apologize."

"Your Highness!" Gu Yanqi said loudly, "Qi has no order to leave Beijing, please punish me, Your Highness!"

Mu Jing's deep eyes fell on the top of his hair.

"Okay, then I will fine you not to eat for a day."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Gu Yanqi raised his body and bowed down again, "The second thing is that I stole the seal of General Shenwu and forged two letters to deceive Commander Cheng and General Shen Luguan!"

Boom!

The generals were startled, but saw that He Zhengqi overturned the banquet in front of him, his face was flushed, and there was raging anger in his eyes.

"You thief! How dare you steal my seal!!"

"General He!" Mu Jing's icy tone made He Zhengqi tremble, "Young Master Gu is pleading guilty to this king, this king will judge right from wrong, please sit down."

He Zhengqi gasped heavily, his chest heaved and heaved, as if he was about to rush up and beat Gu Yanqi to death in the next moment, but finally he sat back under Mu Jing's coercion.

Only then did Mu Jing look at Gu Yanqi.

"I didn't know that your seal was stolen."

"Stealing the seal of the great general is a felony and should be punished by hanging." He changed his voice, "But you used two letters to defend the north of Daqing, which is another great achievement and should be rewarded heavily."

"If you balance your merits and demerits, this king will acquit you. He Qing's family, you still have a different meaning."

He Zhengqi gritted his teeth and said, "All follow His Highness's orders."

Mu Jing nodded: "Young Master Gu, what is your third thing?"

Gu Yanqi bowed down for the third time.

"The third thing Cao Min did was to deceive His Highness!"

Mu Jing's heart skipped a beat, and he said in a deep voice, "Why did you lie to Gu?"

"Cao Min is not called Gu Qi, nor is he a soldier of General Shenwu!"

"Cao Min is the son of the current Taifu and the wife of the Great General Shenwu, whose real name is Gu Yanqi!"

"You are married!"/"How dare you say that here!"

Mu Jing and He Zhengqi suddenly changed color!

The complexion of all civil and military personnel changed drastically!
