Rebel

The voice spread across the wilderness, and after a while, I saw a young man in military uniform riding a horse, with dust behind him, coming slowly towards the gate of the camp. It was Huai Xin who came.Looking over, Gu Ao saw that his face was less handsome and frail than before, but more prairie wind and frost, his skin was tanned a lot, and there were even a few fine lines around his eyes.

As soon as he saw Gu Ao, he got off his horse and said, "I don't know if the King of Han came here, I'm not far away to welcome you."

Dian Bushi smiled and said: "Why do you see outsiders like this?" After speaking, Dian Bushi looked at Gu Ao again: "Brother, look, my brother-in-law is just this bit of a distasteful person, too many rules."

Gu Ao got off his horse too, walked up to Huai Xin, helped him up and said, "What are you doing with so much etiquette, get up quickly." Huai Xin then raised his head, and Gu Ao smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for three years, but my body is still there." good?"

Huai Xin wiped the fine sweat off his face: "He is in good health, eating well and sleeping well."

Gu Ao said: "Oh? This is a good thing. It's better than you used to waste your body. I saw you this time, and you seem to be in good spirits." While talking, the two led the horse and walked towards the camp. go.

Huai Xin lowered her head and curled the corners of her lips: "I also figured it out. I tossed my body, worried about myself, and finally missed my revenge. Isn't it worth the loss. I want to live for a long time. Looking at those who have Those who lose to the Huai family should go to the grave."

"I'm relieved when you're in good health." Gu Ao stopped in his tracks and sighed: "I came along the way and saw that the capital city of Rongdi was full of broken walls and ruins, and the desolate scene was everywhere... that's all. You and Dian Bushi have kept it tidy and orderly in the Western Day Camp. What do you think of the situation in Rongdi now?"

Huai Xin said: "As I have suggested to the King of Han many times, the Rong land today will no longer have the ability to fight big battles within five years, but what about ten years later? What about twenty years later? Let them still be able to fight in ten years' time. Just like today, you don’t covet me in the Central Plains, but only attack your heart. One is to move heavy troops to the borders of Rongdi to frighten them, so as to stop their thoughts; The third is to elect the little Rong king in the Rong land, respect the prestige of the Yan king, and soothe his heart."

As he spoke, Huai Xin paused for a moment, "Look at the King of Han Mingjian. This time, I invited the King Jue for the King of Yan, not for the King of Yan, but for the King of Han. The side-by-side relationship between the King of Yan and the King of Han is conducive to the support of the people of Rong, and the garrison of troops on the border." .”

Gu Ao said as he walked: "I understand all these reasons. Feng Dian doesn't know King Yan, and he hopes that he will suppress evil with the title of king. I also understand that you are dedicated to Jingbian. I have already handed over the matter of stationing troops to defend the border. Give it to Prefect Yu as an assistant."

"That's good. I can't rest assured that Prefect Yu will act." Huai Xin followed Gu Ao's footsteps and asked, "Is the King of Han coming to Rong this time for something important?"

Gu Ao said: "There is something important. The first thing is to see the situation in Rongdi. In the past few days, take me for a walk."

"Yes, this is not difficult."

Gu Ao said: "The second thing is about going to Beijing."

Huai Xin twitched her eyebrows slightly: "Is it because Yong Chi wants to abolish the emperor and stand on his own?"

Gu Ao said: "There are signs."

Huai Xin said, "King of Han, what are you waiting for?"

Gu Ao looked at Huai Xin: "Tell me about it."

Huai Xin said, "King of Han, it's windy and sandy here, so let's talk in our tent."

Gu Ao nodded, followed Huai Xin into the tent, Dian Bushi had been following Gu Ao not far behind, seeing Gu Ao entering the tent, he lifted the curtain and got into the tent.

The three of them sat on the low couches, Huai Xin ordered the goat's milk to be served and guarded the door, then she said to Gu Ao, "Han King, I feel that this is a good time for the Han King to compete in the Central Plains." .”

Gu Ao looked at Huai Xin: "Why?"

Huai Xin said: "If Yongchi proclaims himself emperor, the Liao family in Jiangqu will definitely rebel. If the Liao family rebels, the five kings will all move, and the world will be in chaos. Now the king of Han has 30 soldiers in his hands, and there is no opponent in the North Metro. Coupled with the Shu army of Yu Taishou and the granary in Hanzhong, the world is almost in control."

Gu Ao glanced at Huai Xin, and said: "The book said: 'Qin loses its deer, and the world will chase after it'. If the situation in the world is really what Brother Huai said, I will also send troops to the south as Brother Huai said, to fight for the top of the family. , then what is the difference between me and those princes who regarded the people as hog deer?"

Huai Xin's expression moved slightly, Gu Ao stood up from the couch, and paced in the tent: "There is a severe drought in the east of the Yangtze River, and the people are displaced. At this time, you don't advise me how to calm the people, don't advise me how to deal with people's hearts, but tell me to let me go." I join their melee?"

Huai Xin fell silent, Gu Ao frowned, and changed his tone: "The reason why this king has 30 soldiers is because I resisted the army, and people with lofty ideals from all over the world rushed to northern Xinjiang. If this king leads troops this time Going south, under what banner? Calling for the restoration of the imperial court that was abolished by Yongchi? That imperial court could not calm the borders with military force, and the civil affairs could not calm the people. The imperial court sacrificed his life? When the time comes, those who are willing to fight for the shroud of the army and horse leather in the north will also be willing to sacrifice for the honor of the king's family in the melee of the princes? Why don't you think about it? I haven't seen you in a few years. What's wrong with you? Now it's simply a lack and conspiracy!"

After finishing speaking, Gu Ao walked outside with his hands behind his back, Dian Bushi hurriedly stood up and stopped him: "Han Wang... Big brother... My brother-in-law is also doing it for your own good, I want you...you..."

Gu Ao raised his eyebrows: "How about me?"

Dian Bushi grinned and said, "...be...be the emperor."

Gu Ao snorted coldly: "Your mind is not clear now." While speaking, Gu Ao walked quickly to the outside of the tent.

Suddenly there was a low laugh from behind, Gu Ao turned his head and saw Huai Xin covering his face with his sleeve, laughing "ho ho", at this time two lines of tears flowed down Huai Xin's cheeks .

"……why are you laughing?"

Huai Xin choked up for a moment, then raised her sleeves to wipe away her tears, knelt down on the couch, and saluted Gu Ao: "I'm rude. I shouldn't be testing the King of Han." Said: "I am laughing at myself. For the past three years, I have been worrying about King Bai of Han. I am worried that King Han will lose the courage to unite the world when he was studying in Yunshan. Now it seems that King Han is not I haven't forgotten my original intention, it's because I'm worrying too much."

Then Gu Ao sighed and turned around: "...you get up and tell me what you think."
