I don't want to play anymore

In the martial arts arena where tens of thousands of people gathered, Gu Jing wished not to say much, and there was no need to say any more.

Everyone couldn't help looking at the young man in plain clothes and long robes who was standing straight in front of the martial arts arena.

Before that, they didn't know that the legendary Marquis Xiangyang, the Wenqu star of their Dayi dynasty... would even know martial arts? !

This is really unheard of!

But after thinking about it, since Hou Ye and the emperor came here, they have only fought two or three defensive battles with Bei Rong, because they were prepared to win easily every time, and they did not need Hou Ye to go out in person. Naturally, I have never seen Lord Hou make a move.

In this way... People around looked at the soldier whose helmet was shot off in the middle of a small open space, and their eyes couldn't help but look a little more contemptuous.

——Hou Ye was born as a literati, but he has the ability to walk through Yang with a hundred steps.

Looking at this soldier who only talked about others behind his back and was exposed by Lord Hou on the spot, he didn't seem to have the ability of Lord Hou.

As a matter of fact, just because of Master Hou's skill, more than half of the people in the martial arts arena probably can't match his accuracy.

In this way, all the previous ridicules have become a kind of joke.

Gu Houye's words are naturally deeply rooted in people's hearts... Before talking about others, first check whether you are qualified. This sentence alone is worth many people's reflection...

Leaving behind a long and thin back, Xiang Yanghou had already left the martial arts arena with the emperor at this time.

But the shock he brought to others today is indelible.

"Looking at that arrow technique, it is not an exaggeration to say that he can penetrate Yang's designation with a hundred steps. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would believe that Lord Hou..."

"Yes, yes, Hou Ye's figure and appearance, no one would think that this is a martial artist... This time we really surprised us!"

"No wonder the emperor deliberately invited Lord Hou here. He can fight and think of schemes. Where can he find a perfect person like Master Hou..."

"However, it's still a little unbelievable when you think about it. How did Lord Hou practice his arm strength and accuracy?"

Not just ordinary soldiers, even the generals under King Quang Binh were amazed.

They discussed matters in the emperor's camp every day, and Lord Hou just listened in.He was supposed to have a very weak sense of existence, but he has such an appearance...

After a long time, it is inevitable that people will think too much.

But after today's scene, no one dared to despise Master Gu anymore.

After returning from the martial arts arena, everyone stayed in the commander's camp, quietly waiting for today's discussion.

No one dared to talk nonsense anymore.

no one

Knowing that, in the private tent at the back, Gu Jingyuan's lips, who had just demonstrated two archery skills, were already turning white.

For the current him, firing two arrows in a row is still a little bit reluctant.

Not to mention the bow-drawing and aiming that he practiced day and night-these are things that are deeply rooted in his bones. Even if he hasn't touched it for many years, he can still find the state he was in back then.

It's just that even if you are good at aiming and have great skills, in order to achieve that kind of accuracy and strength at such a long distance, in addition to physical strength, internal strength is also necessary.

That's why Gu Jingyuan felt so strenuous.

"Drink some water." Beside him, Long Yanzhao passed him a cup of tea with a blank expression.

Gu Jingyuan took a sip of tea as he said, and seeing Long Yanzhao's serious expression, he said, "I'm fine."

In turn, he comforted the emperor: "At this time, the morale of the army should be the same, and there is no need to fight among themselves for things that are not worth it. The fastest way to get everyone to accept me is to do what I did just now."

"I understand." Long Yanzhao said this, but still frowned.

No matter how gentle his temperament looks on the outside and how calm and uncontested he appears in ordinary times, Gu Jingyuan's thoughts are still the same as the too strong A Qi back then.

——But whatever he really wanted to do would turn into a sharp and straight knife when he acted.

He will always take the simplest and most straightforward way to achieve his goals.

This Long Yanzhao has experienced it not only once or twice.

only……

Understanding does not mean agreeing.

That sentence is right, too hard is easy to break.

Just as Ah Yuan was worried about his body last night, he was also worried about Gu Jingyuan...

After a while, Gu Jingyuan looked much better.

On the other hand, the emperor's expression was still solemn.

"I'm really fine." Gu Jingyuan gently pulled him, looked up at him, and explained to him: "The skill has not fully recovered, and it will be fine in the future. Now I am just a little tired."

As soon as he raised his head, the scar on the brow bone became extremely prominent. In the end, Long Yanzhao couldn't say anything serious. He could only touch his face and sigh: "Next time, if you have anything to do, I will talk to you first." Let me discuss it, okay?"

His tone was not commanding.

It's an inquiry.

But immediately after, he opened his arms and took Gu Jingyuan into his arms. The young emperor showed a wicked smile: "Of course, I will not allow this to happen again."

Suddenly being held in his arms, there are

Gu Jingyuan couldn't help blinking at the sound of the emperor's strong heartbeat and the sound of his chest vibrating when he spoke, "Your Majesty?"

The "this situation" mentioned by the emperor... refers to someone beckoning him behind his back?

...Why does he always feel that the emperor's words are not simple?

But this time Long Yanzhao also played a charade with him.

"I will tell Ah Yuan later."

Gu Jingyuan: "..."

Gu Jingyuan didn't rest anymore.

The battle is tense, and there are still so many people waiting for His Majesty to discuss matters ahead, so he is embarrassed to delay the time.

Together with Long Yanzhao, he came to the front camp of the commander. Long Yanzhao first reminded all the generals present about what happened this morning, and asked them to take good care of their soldiers.

"If you are too free, train more, if you still have energy, then increase the intensity of training|practice, I don't believe that on the battlefield, there is a lot of urgency, and they still have the mood to talk about other things behind their backs. To put it bluntly, they are still too idle !"

The emperor lectured at the top, but none of the people below dared to refute.

If they hadn't seen the strength of Xiang Yanghou, they might have thought that the emperor was partial and would not take this matter to heart.

But after seeing Lord Hou's strength, this group of people felt from the bottom of their hearts that they were indeed lax in discipline, that what the emperor said was right, and they were indeed sorry for Lord Hou.

From this it can be seen that Gu Jingyuan's thinking is completely correct, sometimes trying to block the mouths of many people by refuting, it is better to show his true hands and persuade others from the bottom of his heart.

After the training, Long Yanzhao began to discuss today's affairs as usual.

"What's the news from the capital city?" he asked.

Dayi Dynasty also naturally planted spies inside the capital city, and news would come out from time to time.

Regardless of whether the news was important or not, Long Yanzhao would ask it several times a day.

He has always been extremely cautious in the Beirong war, and the emperor believes that details determine success or failure.

"Reporting to the emperor, it is estimated that Bei Rong's proposal for peace with Bei Ya is about to collapse completely. Not only that, Bei Ya is also very likely to send troops to attack Bei Rong."

"Tell me in detail." Long Yanzhao sat upright, listening to the reports from the people below with great interest.

Two days ago, they received news that Bei Rong sent envoys to Bei Ya to cooperate with Bei Ya.

It is not surprising that Beirong sent envoys to Beiya to discuss peace at this time.The Dayi Army was already under pressure. Even though Beirong and Beiya had made a mess before, it was better to have one more ally than one more enemy at this time.

As for Beiya, the national power of Beiya is far less than that of Beiya.

Rong, if the Dayi army swallows Bei Rong in one fell swoop, Beiya is also likely to be in danger.

Everyone knows the reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. Most of the Beiya monarchs will choose to let go of their past suspicions and send troops to aid Beirong.

Even though it is impossible to send many troops to support it, it is also an obstacle to the Dayi Army, which has already penetrated into the belly of Beirong and cannot send too many troops.

But this situation is not impossible.

——As long as the contradiction between Beiya and Beirong is deepened, it can be easily resolved.

And two days ago, on how to deepen the conflict, in this handsome tent, all the generals had a heated discussion.

Most of the generals felt that they could cooperate with Beiya.That is, the Dayi Dynasty also sent envoys to Beiya to sign a non-interference treaty with the monarch of Beiya, which caused the cooperation between Beiya and Beirong to unilaterally break down.

But the emperor's intention was not to cooperate with Beiya.

He resorted to a more powerful method - sending people to spread the news that Bei Rong's married princess, the current Queen of Bei Ya and the prince had been bullied in Bei Ya and had now fled back to his home country.

Although I don't know how the emperor got the news, once the news spread, it really deepened the rift between Beiya and Beirong.

——Although the monarch of Beiya doesn't cherish his queen, what a big event the queen took the prince to escape, and it concerns the face of the whole Beiya!

This is a complete scandal!

The king of Beiya couldn't hold back the news when he saw the news, and it had already become known to everyone in Beiya and the surrounding small countries, and he couldn't help but become angry from embarrassment.

He believed that King Beirong was deliberately humiliating him, and the last chance to establish diplomatic relations between the two countries was lost.

"According to the report from the spies, the king of Beiya is already in the process of reorganizing his army." The general below reported.

"Okay!" Long Yanzhao couldn't help showing a smile on his heroic face when he heard the news.

If he didn't know about Cheng Zhi, he probably wouldn't even think about it and just cooperate with Bei Ya.

Beiya is short of supplies and does not border Dayi, so Long Yanzhao doesn't like such a small country at all.

In addition, there were no conflicts or exchanges between the two countries, so it would be an excellent choice to cooperate with them to attack Bei Rong.

But after getting to know Cheng Zhi and hearing about the various behaviors of the Beiya monarch, the matter of cooperating with Beiya was completely dismissed in Long Yanzhao's mind.

In particular, the news of Cheng Zhi's secret escape was a sharp knife in itself.

It can easily cut off the relationship between Rong and Ya, and the result will be better than simply discussing cooperation with Beiya.

Long Yanzhao recently

Still standing still, more or less waiting for today's situation.

For Beiya, who is extremely patriarchal and inferior to women, it is a great shame and humiliation for his wife to run away, let alone the king of Beiya.

On this basis, Long Yanzhao arranged for spies to fan the fire among the people and the small countries around Beiya, so that the king of Beiya would not be afraid that he would be able to sit still and continue to stand still.

In this way, it can be regarded as Cheng Zhi's revenge for herself.

Satisfied with the current development, Long Yanzhao pointed at the tea table and returned to the topic: "They beat theirs, we beat ours. What I asked you to think about last night, do the generals have any ideas today?"

Upon hearing this, the face of the general who is good at arranging troops began to turn green.

That's right, the question the emperor asked them to think about was whether to attack the left city or the right city first. This is an eternal problem that they have deduced countless times with the emperor in turn, but they still can't give a definite answer!

Because it is really impossible to find out whether Beirong put the main force on the left city or the right city, so no matter which side you choose, you may be ambushed. possible.

To put it bluntly, you can only gamble.

But the emperor is a character who refuses to admit defeat or accept fate.

In order to avoid gambling and to increase the possibility of winning, he began to ask them to deduce the formation day and night in turn, hoping to obtain a method that would satisfy both sides no matter what.

As a result, all the generals above the school lieutenant suffered disaster, and in the past two days, they have experienced more than one test from the emperor.

Unfortunately, there is still no answer.

The emperor glanced over the faces of the generals below, and said slowly: "Beiya's monarch can't save face, it's a good thing for the Beiya soldiers to meet each other. But Beiya's troops are limited, even if they send troops, they won't last long. It's probably just a show." Look, if you take advantage of the fire to loot again, you will never think about how to pry open the gate of Kyoto like us."

Long Yanzhao analyzed it, and then said lightly: "Beiya can't be counted on, so dear friends, which one of the left and right cities around the capital city should we attack first? I'm still waiting for you to help me figure out a plan. "

General Zhen Guo replied: "Qi Zuo Emperor, the generals really can't make up their minds about choosing the left and the right. The only way for now is to let the spies get the deployment of troops in those two cities as soon as possible, and then make a decision... "

"Two of our spies have been removed in the past two days." Long Yanzhao looked at the general: "General Zhen Guo said as soon as possible, when will we wait?

Seriously, if any spies are instigated or given false information on purpose..."

As Long Yanzhao said this, a dry and melancholy air could not help gathering between his brows.

Although King Bei Rong looked mediocre before, he had to say that he did quite well with this trick of shrinking.

The two cities surrounding the city of Kyoto are like two hollow moons facing each other, one on the left and the other on the right, tightly surrounding Kyoto.In addition, the actual strength of the troops inside is unpredictable... In the words of the generals, it is like two solid bastard lids!

How to break open the bastard shell of King Beirong really made Long Yanzhao and the other generals struggle...

at this time.

Gu Jingyuan, who had been listening all the time, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask, can we confirm that Beiya will gather troops to send troops to Beirong, and how many troops will be sent?"

Ah Yuan...?

Glancing in Gu Jingyuan's direction, Long Yanzhao's eyes suddenly lit up.

The emperor winked at the general who was in charge of passing the news to the spies, asking him to answer truthfully.

The general didn't dare to hide it, and directly said a number.

After hearing this, Gu Jingyuan lowered his eyes and became silent.

The slender eyelashes almost covered all the emotions in his eyes, and he directly entered a state of complete ecstasy.

Long Yanzhao knew that he was thinking.

...or in other words, calculating and rehearsing on the fly in your head.

The emperor was not in a hurry, and just waited patiently.

The other ministers didn't know why, but they saw that the emperor's gaze had been on Master Gu, with encouragement, appreciation, praise, and absolute trust...

All the generals looked at each other.

Some of the cronies who followed King Quang Binh knew what the emperor was thinking, so they tried their best to look at the nose and mind at the moment, as if they didn't see anything.

Some of the things I don't know, I almost understand now.

——The emperor has never concealed his preferences from anyone.

He also did not say clearly.

It felt like... was disclosing this information to everyone, telling them to be mentally prepared in advance.

……

The point is, it would be fine if the person who made the emperor reveal his thoughts so much was an ordinary person.

But today they were all taught a lesson by Lord Hou. Even though they felt that the emperor's eyes on Lord Hou were too explicit and shocking, they couldn't help but feel that Lord Hou was really worthy of the emperor... Love it .

Not only the champion of Jinke, but also the star of Wenqu who can convince everyone in Changchang.

Lord Hou is also good at martial arts, it seems that he can fight and kill

of……

It is to ask the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, who else can do this?

Just when everyone had different ideas, Gu Jingyuan finally made a calculation.

He opened his mouth very cautiously, but when he opened his mouth, everyone was startled.

"So, Your Majesty, I think that when Beiya and Beirong's swords meet, we can take the lead in attacking Zuocheng."

——Whether it is left or right, Lord Hou is the first person to directly give an affirmative answer.
