The world's male concubine

In the middle of the night, the conference camp was brightly lit. Although it had just experienced a victory, no one would breathe a sigh of relief. The situation was grim. Everyone's eyes were bloodshot from exhaustion, but no one showed a flinching look.

The atmosphere is intense and exciting.

The two sides of the main battle and the main slowdown have been arguing endlessly.

Half of the generals believed that it is more necessary to preserve their combat power at this time, and they should not continue to follow up. At the same time, they sent a small team to borrow food from the nearest prefecture—what they wanted was time.

Li Yan's faction, on the other hand, thought that they wanted to strike while the iron was hot, and took the initiative to fight the Hu people when they were still in shock, killing him by surprise.

The two sides debated red-faced.

Although Li Yan was the first lieutenant appointed by the King of Liang in the Dingyuan Army, the Dingyuan Army has always had a attendance system. If the strategy does not have the approval of more than half of the generals, even if Li Yan has a team, he cannot implement it.

At this moment, the two sides were on equal terms. When everyone was trying to persuade each other, Gu Qingning finally spoke up.

"Listen to me."

His voice was so low that almost no one heard him.

Li Yan glanced at him, then cleared his throat, "Everyone be quiet, Counselor Gu has something to say."

Gu Qingning glanced at him gratefully, but Li Yan still had that expression of disapproval.

Swallowing a breath secretly, Gu Qingning ignored him, and said slowly:

"I am a counselor, so I have the position to participate in it."

According to the regulations, Gu Qingning was the counselor, and he should have been asked for his opinion when discussing the matter just now, but it seemed that everyone had forgotten that he existed, and they forgot him in the corner.

Hearing Gu Qingning's words, the expressions of the rest of the people were different. Although Gu Qingning was the official counselor appointed by the King of Liang, everyone was more or less disapproving.

The way Gu Qingning looked at them knew their hearts, but under the influence of Xiao Xuanyan, he no longer took other people's thoughts too much into his heart, and just spoke according to his own thoughts.

"It must have been a coincidence that these barbarians attacked the door the day after King Liang left, and they managed to create such a large force. It must be a coincidence that the coach is not around. We have taught them a lesson today. If we don't continue to counterattack when we are in doubt, we will give them confidence, so..."

Before Gu Qingning could finish his sentence, the old general who didn't like him began to pick him up.

The old general was called Mo Huansheng, and he was the oldest general in the Dingyuan army. He glanced at the soldiers present, and then said: "When marching and fighting, you must be safe. There is no reason to use your will. The Dingyuan army is here. The popular reputation among the people is not determined by tricks, but by a real fight."

He glanced at Gu Qingning, quite disapproving: "Counselor Gu is new to the Dingyuan Army, so he must not be very familiar with it, so let's put aside such superficial words tonight."

Gu Qingning bit her lips: "General Mo, I'm not out to be tricky. As usual, such an approach would be a bad idea, but now is an extraordinary time, and we have to do extraordinary things. Our military rations are no longer enough to last ten days, and we don't need to As for whether the nearby prefectures can borrow food, it means that they have, and the round trip will take at least five days. During this period, should we just wait quietly for them to recover and sit and wait for death?"

General Mo said: "What do you know? The more critical the moment is, the more you have to hold your breath and send it to your door recklessly. Our Dingyuan Army can't do such a thing."

"The Qiang people and the Huns have evil intentions. They would not cooperate sincerely. They would probably take advantage of the fire to rob us so that we can work together to gnaw down this difficult bone of our Dingyuan army. If we wait for them to calm down, it will be a death sentence. himself to death."

"Counselor Gu, don't be alarmist. When it comes to fighting, I have eaten more salt than you have eaten. Is it feasible? This old man knows better than you. This is not your specialty. You should concentrate on serving the prince!"

Gu Qingning was originally a sharp-tongued person, although he had already prepared a lot of counterattacks in his heart, but he didn't want to argue like a cunning child before the battle.He had been discussing with Li Yan for a long time just now, maybe he didn't have enough experience, but he didn't agree with this strategy casually. Regardless of any strategy, in terms of pros and cons, this is the only one that can alleviate their current predicament the most. Indiscriminate attacks on a veteran against whom he's inherently biased won't convince others -- it'll just backfire.

Before he could figure out how to deal with it, he heard Li Yan say in his ear: "Now we have no other way, four people are leading the battle, and four people think we should stick to it. Then only Counselor Gu can make the final decision."

"What? Him!"

The people present at the scene realized the uneasiness, and immediately jumped up to object, "He is just a..."

"What?!"

Gu Qingning stared at him with an indifferent expression, without any humiliation or impatience, just staring coldly.

The general swallowed the following words.

"I am the counselor appointed by the king of Liang, so I have the right to speak. If anyone thinks that what the king of Liang has done, please speak up at this moment."

Gu Qingning didn't know how he was so calm, as if no one's nonsense could enter his heart, maybe it was because he was burdened with a heavier and greater responsibility at this moment, and compared to this, those others attached to him What is the fear of the stigma and disapproval on the body.

The camp fell silent, and no one spoke.

Gu Qingning slowly raised her hand, "I'm the main battle."

There was a bang in the big tent, and General Mo immediately dropped the teacup in front of him, "The monster is wronging the country!"

After finishing speaking, he angrily opened the tent door and left.

Li Yan looked at Gu Qingning's pale face, and said in a deep voice, "Even if a decision has been made, then everyone will follow the arrangement."

He stood up: "We only have one thing to do now, which is to let them know that even if King Liang is not around, our Dingyuan army is still the undefeated god!"

"Yes!"

King Liang is well-trained, and Dingyuan's army is naturally disciplined. Even the soldiers who held different opinions just now had other thoughts and went to deploy wholeheartedly.

Everyone left one after another. When Li Yan passed by Gu Qingning, he only patted him on the shoulder, comfortingly:

"Not a bad day."

But there was no smugness as imagined, the hands and shoulders trembled violently, and the originally calm person immediately burst into tears.

"Me, I will also go to the battlefield tomorrow!"

Gu Qingning was out of breath from crying, and grabbed Li Yan's sleeve: "I'm definitely not acting out of emotion, I'm just too uncomfortable!"

He is far from reaching the point where his heart is like a rock. Every decision he makes will put a lot of burden on his heart. The pressure almost crushes him. He doesn't know how Xiao Xuanyan experienced such pressure, but now he feels that if If he didn't even participate in the decision he made, then he must be ashamed to death.

Gu Qingning squatted down sobbing, and buried her head in her knees regardless of whether Li Yan laughed at him or not.

Li Yan wanted to reach out his hand to comfort him, but when he was about to touch the black hair, his hand stopped in mid-air, and then slowly lowered it down.

His throat moved, and he also squatted down, and only said softly, "Okay, you will also go to the battlefield tomorrow."

Gu Qingning raised his head in surprise, his cheeks were wet, and he looked pitiful, but he didn't care whether Li Yan would mock him, and grabbed his hand,

"You promised?"

"Well," Li Yan nodded, "but you have to obey my orders, and you must not act recklessly."

Gu Qingning nodded quickly, as if afraid that he would go back on his word.

"Thank you."

After a while, Li Yan said again: "Don't worry too much about General Mo's words."

Gu Qingning wiped away tears, "I didn't cry because of him. That person told me that as long as my heart is like a mirror, I don't have to worry about what other people think. Now, I don't care what others say."

Li Yan understood that the "that person" he was referring to was King Liang, and his heart was blocked, and he let out a sigh of relief: "It's good if you can figure it out."

Gu Qingning sniffed: "Don't tell me about my crying, I, I don't like to cry, it's just too uncomfortable."

Li Yan didn't hate him, but responded softly: "Yeah."

Gu Qingning looked at him gratefully.

The eyes are shining, which is full of the whole warm winter day.

Li Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he turned his eyes away: "Go to bed early, I can only rest for a while, and I have to leave at Yinshi tomorrow."

Gu Qingning punched Li Yan on the shoulder.

"I can't imagine that we were fighting like black-eyed chickens a year ago!"

Li Yan's throat moved again, and he stood up: "You are always self-righteous!"

After speaking, he hurried out.

Before Gu Qingning could change his expression, he spat hard.

Don't be fooled by him next time.

The sky was not yet clear, and fighting resounded on the battlefield in Xijiang.

Endless killing.

Blood, stumps, stained this yellow land red.

The Qiang and Hun troops, who were still in shock, were almost powerless to fight back, and they retreated in succession.

They almost panicked and thought that King Liang's absence was just a cover.

However, the Dingyuan Army also paid a huge price for this. Almost half of the vanguard troops sent were lost, and the follow-up troops also suffered heavy casualties.

Although for war, the war of winning more with less forged with such a number of casualties can be said to be excellent.

Gu Qingning was not sent to the front line, but was sent to the dispatch camp by Li Yan. Although he was extremely reluctant, his eyes were red all day long, especially when he saw the dead and wounded soldiers who were constantly transported back from the front line. The pain couldn't be worse.

The battle was won, but if it was changed to another tactic, it might be possible to avoid such casualties.

It's a pity that there are no assumptions in the world, only facts-they exchanged heavy casualties for a victory with fewer victories.
