Rebirth as Princess Jin again

Jincheng.

Guo Tao watched the border defenders slowly moving towards the southern border, and his frowning eyes relaxed.

A few days ago, the troops from southern Xinjiang suddenly gathered towards the border. He was very worried. After finally settling down, no one wanted to fight again. He had been stationed in Jincheng with Xiao Dongcheng for many years, but he did not expect that General Xiao would just return to Beijing. He never came back.

However, the imperial court seemed to have forgotten about the Jincheng incident. Instead of sending other generals, he, the deputy general, took charge of the general's duties.

He knew that he had a heavy responsibility and dared not slack off day and night.

He was about to inspect other city gates when he heard a soldier coming to report: "General Guo, someone has come to your home. He asked you to come back to your home. I heard that someone is looking for you!"

Guo Tao asked: "Do you know who he is?"

"The person who came here didn't say anything about it. He just said a few words in a hurry and then went back to the house. He said it was urgent."

Guo Tao's expression changed slightly. His wife is a person who knows the importance of things. If it is not a very important matter, she will not send someone to invite him when he is on duty. Although he does not know what happened at home, his wife is now pregnant with Even though she was pregnant, she couldn't be careless and walked quickly towards the house.

As soon as Guo Tao entered the door, he saw a man standing with his back in the lobby. He was dressed in rich clothes and wearing a golden crown. He seemed to be of extremely high status.

He has lived in Jincheng for many years and has never seen such a noble person except Situ Jin.

"Excuse me, your Excellency?"

The man slowly turned around and looked down at Guo Tao with a slight smile on his lips.

"General Guo has admired me for a long time, and I am Situ Xu!"

Upon hearing the name, Guo Tao hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "I didn't know that His Royal Highness King Xu is here, and I missed the reception from afar. Please forgive me!"

Situ Xu stepped forward and gave Guo Tao a virtual support: "I have heard about the general's name for a long time. I heard about the recent changes in the border. Jincheng is close to my fiefdom. I will come to take a look today!"

Guo Tao was startled. There had been no news from the capital, but the court had regulations that the prince could not leave the fiefdom at will, let alone go to the border at will. But now His Highness Prince Xu came to Jincheng blatantly, without taking into account his identity at all. Those who are not good.

"It's just because of the marriage of the second prince of Southern Xinjiang. The army in Southern Xinjiang only hoarded the border, but did not cause rebellion."

Situ Xu lifted his robe and sat down, looked at Guo Tao and said, "There is no general in charge of this border now. General Guo is now acting as the agent for Jincheng's military affairs. I have something to ask of you. I wonder if the general can agree to this?"

Guo Tao is a military commander who always goes straight and is never good at guessing people's hearts. He really can't see Situ Xu's intention today.

"If your Highness has any mission, just say so!"

Situ Xu made a gesture to the people standing outside. After a while, a man in black clothes walked in. Next to him was Guo Tao's wife Sun, who had a shining sword on her neck. .

Sun is six months pregnant and her belly is now bulging.

Sun's pregnancy was extremely hard to come by. Guo Tao didn't have such a child until he was middle-aged, so the couple cherished it very much.

She had been careful to protect the fetus before, and she stayed in the house and dared not go out, for fear that something might happen to the child.

When he learned that the troops in southern Xinjiang were gathering, Guo Tao planned to send the Sun family out of Jincheng in a few days, but he did not expect that after a few days of delay, he suddenly encountered a sudden disaster.

At this moment, Mrs. Sun was covering her abdomen with her hands and holding her sword on her neck. She did not dare to be careless and was extremely scared.

She was afraid that someone would harm the child in her belly, and she was even more afraid that her husband would be coerced. Tears welled up in her eyes.

But the moment she saw Guo Tao, she held back her tears and showed a smile in order not to worry him.

Guo Tao turned around and saw this posture, his eyes turned cold, and he turned to look at Situ Xu: "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

Situ Xu didn't care about his attitude at all, and just said lightly: "I want the soldiers and horses in Jincheng to obey my orders. I wonder if General Guo can do it?"

"I heard that my father has ordered the military talisman to be delivered to General Guo. I heard that General Guo loves his wife very much. The fetus in his belly is General Guo's only heir. I don't know that between the military talisman and his wife and children, General Guo is What choice?"

This was clearly to force him to ask for military power. Judging from his actions, he must have had thoughts of rebellion.

Guo Tao was angry, but now that his wife and children were in his hands, he had no choice but to lower his head.

Hao Yan said: "Your Majesty, for the general, this military talisman is more important than the lives of the nine tribes of the general. Without the emperor's permission, the general does not dare to hand over the military talisman at will."

"If the prince has the emperor's decree, I will hand over the military talisman with both hands without saying anything. But if there is no emperor's decree, please forgive me for not being able to obey!"

Situ Xu did not answer his words, but continued: "Why should General Guo refuse in a hurry? Since I dare to come to Jincheng to ask for this military talisman, I must have a full plan in mind."

"I really admire General Guo's loyalty to the emperor, but the person General Guo is loyal to is the person sitting on the throne. If this throne is given to me, and General Guo is loyal to me, there is nothing wrong with giving this military talisman to me first. .”

Hearing this, Guo Tao was shocked and said in astonishment: "Your Highness, these are treasonous and unethical words. Now that the Emperor is in good health and has established a crown prince, His Highness's move is treason. This is a serious crime that will destroy the nine tribes. Please forgive me for not being able to do so." I dare to agree!"

Situ Xu did not expect that Guo Tao was so ignorant of praise, so he laughed sarcastically: "Since ancient times, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. I am the eldest son of my father. In ordinary families, most of the family property is inherited by the eldest son. I am also the prince and inherits the throne." As it should be.”

"Now I have made all the preparations. I just want to borrow General Guo's military talisman. If General Guo doesn't want to, I can still get the military talisman even if I bloodbath the entire general's mansion today."

"It's just that I am a man who loves talents, and General Guo is a loyal minister and good general. I don't want to fight with the general, so I ask the general to make the right choice."

Even though Situ Xu has 200,000 soldiers and horses, Jincheng also has 200,000 soldiers and horses. If they attack by force, both sides will suffer losses.

This was a scene he didn't want to see. After all, even if he ascended to the throne of God in the future, this Jincheng would still need people to garrison it.

Although he promised Nan Moyan to help him deal with Situ Jin and Xiao Feng, now he has lost sight of Xiao Feng, and no one knows where he and Jiao Yang went.

He was worried that something would happen to Jincheng. When he learned that there was no trace of Xiao Feng and Jiaoyang in Jincheng, he immediately decided to recruit Guo Tao first. Only by obtaining Jincheng's military power would he have more chips in his hands.

Guo Tao looked stunned, and then looked at Sun, who was standing aside and trembling with fear.

He took out the military talisman from his arms and presented it to Situ Xu. He bowed and saluted: "It is Guo's honor that His Highness appreciates Guo. Today, Guo entrusts his family and life to His Highness. I hope that when Your Highness succeeds in success in the future, he will be able to do so." Support and support Guo!"

Situ Xu was ecstatic when he saw the military talisman in his hand, and quickly ordered someone to release Sun.

He said happily: "General Guo is not only brave and good at fighting, but also a man who understands current affairs. Don't worry, General Guo. When I ascend to a high position, I will definitely not forget General Guo's contribution."

Guo Tao hurriedly stepped forward to comfort Sun. Seeing that Sun was fine, he was relieved.

At this moment, Situ Xu also left the general's mansion with his people. The moment he went out, he felt more relaxed than ever before.

He originally thought that it would take a lot of effort, but he was afraid that Guo Tao would not be willing to hand over the military talisman, so he had to hold his wife hostage to force him to surrender. However, he did not expect that Guo Tao really loved his wife as much as the rumors said, and he obediently handed over the military talisman.

He now has 400,000 soldiers and horses. As long as he kills Situ Jin, he can directly raise his troops and enter the capital. This great position in the world is in his pocket.
