Loyal heart travels a long way

In fact, both Gu Zhiyao and Zhu Chengdong are the commanders-in-chief of the army, no matter who goes there, it will not be regarded as a loss of face to the king.

But Gu Zhiyao still has the identity of the emperor's nephew, this identity is too terrible, the less people know about it, the better.No matter what, the king was a former prince. Gu Zhiyao was more or less similar to the emperor, so he couldn't take the risk.

Mobei is already very chaotic, no matter who it is at this time, they should not do extraneous things.

Zhu Chengdong understood, nodded, and decided to pay a visit to the King's Mansion tomorrow morning.

Ying Er's internal injuries last time were not serious. Although his daily activities were not greatly affected, he should not travel all the way. Zhu Chengdong let him stay in the barracks, so he didn't have to follow him.

Gu Zhiyao asked about the situation in Ulanqab that day, silently thinking about the next step.

In fact, the next thing has basically been decided long ago. One is to dampen the spirit of the Tatar Khan so that he will not dare to commit another crime; one is to find out the collaborators and punish them severely; Cong Jian, to avenge the sea of ​​​​blood.

Cong Jian has been hiding in Tatar territory since the last time, and it is not easy to catch him, and a long-term plan is needed.

So the most important thing at the moment is the first two things.

Gu Zhiyao really hated Cong Jian very much in his heart, but he has always been a person whose mind becomes clearer the more he hates in his heart, at this moment he is very calm, just squinting at the map to find a place where he can break through.

After discussing with Zhu Chengdong for a long time, the two lieutenants he brought, Jia Yaopeng and Liu Zhan, did not interrupt for a long time. Seeing that the two finally talked about the war, they began to express their views.

Many of Liu Zhan's ideas coincided with Gu Zhiyao's, but Jia Yaopeng had his own ideas. He had many opinions on the little general's plan, and believed that these people were just talking on paper, so Zhu Chengdong was defeated.

In the end, the few people discussed and discussed but failed to unify their opinions. Because Gu Zhiyao and Zhu Chengdong were the coaches, and Liu Zhan was on their side, Jia Yaopeng had no choice but to reluctantly compromise.

……

Zhu Chengdong left the barracks early in the morning. Several of his cronies died in Ulanqab, and his whole body carried a murderous air.Gu Zhiyao originally thought about whether to ask Zhu Chengdong to be more polite when he arrived at the Prince's Mansion. After all, he is a local snake, so it is not easy to offend too much, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

If Zhu Chengdong is the kind of person who has no sense of proportion, how can he gain a firm position as a general in the military camp and accept so many cronies?

The people waited in the barracks for a day, but they did not fight the Tatars again. The granaries in the Ulanqab barracks were all burned, and the Tatars' new grain and grass could not come so soon, so they couldn't fight for a while.

However, after careful calculation, the opponent's food and grass will probably arrive in the past few days. Gu Zhiyao is thinking about leading troops to raid the opponent's grain detaining team and directly blocking the food and grass in the middle of the road.

In the evening, before Xu time, Zhu Chengdong came back just in time for dinner.

The food in the barracks is actually not good, if Chu Dancheng sees this, he will definitely cook another small stove for Gu Zhiyao, so that he can have something else to eat.

Gu Zhiyao himself didn't care about it. When he heard that Zhu Chengdong was back, he came out of the military tent to greet him holding a steamed bun and chewing.

Seeing Gu Zhiyao like this, Zhu Chengdong felt a little uncomfortable.

When Chu Dancheng took the child home, Zhu Chengdong was also watching.He couldn't figure out why there were people in the world who were so grateful, even a little stubborn. If he wanted to repay any kindness, he would have paid it off all these years ago.

But what has Gu Zhiyao been doing all these years?After saving Chu Dancheng's life, he also wanted to avenge his grandparents when he came to the battlefield. He was really willing to risk his life for his family.

Gu Zhiyao didn't know what kind of image he had become in Zhu Chengdong's mind, so he ate the steamed bun and waved to Zhu Chengdong, signaling him to discuss it together in the military tent later.

He was such a flamboyant and lively person back then, but he changed completely when he was on the battlefield.

Zhu Chengdong shook his head, went to eat first, and then went to look for Gu Zhiyao in the military tent.

Gu Zhiyao had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Zhu Chengdong coming in, he hurriedly asked, "How is it? Does the king look suspicious?"

"It's not like that," Zhu Chengdong shook his head, "I still want to send me thousands of soldiers and horses, but I'm afraid there might be fraud in them so I won't accept them."

Gu Zhiyao nodded, and his tone was calm: "After all, he was a prince. If he really colluded with you, I wouldn't be able to see it. That's right."

Zhu Chengdong also thought so, and the two went to look at the map again.

Gu Zhiyao discussed with Zhu Chengdong the strategy that he thought of during the day: "There are mountains between us and Tatars, and if we say that the flat land is Ulanqab, now we want to go through Ulanqab or Tatars want to It is not easy to attack from Wulanchabu, after all, both sides are keeping a close eye on this fast place."

He still held a brush that was not dipped in ink, and drew a circle on the map with the pen, and then tapped on the mountain, "Do you still have any impression of this mountain, cousin?"

"Yes," Zhu Chengdong nodded, "Years ago you came with Dancheng and met an assassin in the mountains."

"Exactly," Gu Zhiyao tapped the pen several times, "I am familiar with the mountain road, not to mention the mountain road, in fact, I remember the last time where there is a small road next to it. This time Turning over the mountain should be an official road of Tatar. If you want to transport grain and grass from Tatar to Ulanqab, I looked at the map and there is only such a road.”

"You want to..." Zhu Chengdong pondered for a while, then looked at Gu Zhiyao in doubt, "Lead troops to intercept the other party's food and grass?"

Gu Zhiyao nodded: "Without food and grass, it is difficult to move an inch. They have been trapped in Ulanqab for a longer time than us, and they have consumed more food and grass. Not to mention the fact that you and Ying Er burned down their granaries Let’s just say that the Tatars eat more food than the soldiers of the Great Zhou, so I guess their dry food has bottomed out?”

"It's already bottomed out." Zhu Chengdong sneered, and his expression became serious again, "But this matter is a bit risky. How many people can live in the mountain, what should we do if we encounter danger?"

"Don't worry, Yinger and I have learned lightness kung fu. You know that lightness kung fu. It's quiet when you use it. It's almost like seeing a ghost in the daytime." Gu Zhiyao paused, "This time, the people who are leading are good at lightness kung fu. We It's not difficult to go there in advance to ambush and set up traps."

"It's still too risky." Zhu Chengdong shook his head, "If you succeed, where are you going to transport the food you took?"

"Food is not the most important thing." Gu Zhiyao suddenly had a cold smile on his face, "I guess they burned the tung oil last time? I want to see who sent them the tung oil. If possible, intercept it for us." Keep it for your own use. Doesn’t Cong Jian have a firecracker in his hand? When the time comes, Yu Jian’s head will be wrapped in a rag, dipped in tung oil, burned and shot at his hand. I will tell him to taste the firecracker himself. !"
