Chapter 109

"Very important?" Gu Qingcheng looks back at Zhai Ning, who is being bandaged by a military doctor. There is a glimmer of clarity in his eyes.

Gu Qingcheng is a very smart woman, bright and moving is only her appearance, hidden in this appearance is low-key and modest. When she is with Yu Tianxiang, she always gives the dominant power of discourse to the other party. This trip to the south is the same. She gave more power to Lu que, who never hindered his opinion and led the overall situation.

Lu que did not live up to her expectations. From planning and layout to marching and raiding, even the famous marshals who have been fighting for years may not do better than Lu que. The fact that Lu que left Zhai Ning this time further proves that Lu que has gradually matured and is more comfortable in controlling the war situation.

Although Daqian had gathered a large number of troops in the south, it was mainly for defense and deterrence. Because he cherished yuanze, Daqian had little interest in Tianxing and Nanli. Among the top ten Jedi in Qingmu, buguishan is the first, followed by xiyuanze and death Shahai. No one knows what's in it. For this reason, although Daqian used soldiers to invade the two countries after he built zhennanguan, he didn't mean to invade the two countries. More importantly, he meant to use the two countries as a barrier.

Therefore, Da Qian's understanding of Tianxing and Nanli was more through his acting as a foreign affairs department. Although the Department of foreign affairs does everything in no detail, what they can get is more information that is relatively easy to collect, such as mountains and rivers, customs, taxes, and changes in the court. However, the Department of foreign affairs can't get enough information for the secret military.

But it's not the same to get Zhai Ning. As long as Zhai Ning and the 1800 prisoners dig up the water of Huangyan River, the wild lion army will be blocked on the North Bank of Huangyan river. Once the mad lion legion, one of the three legions of Tianxing, is annihilated, these people will become the sinners of Tianxing Kingdom, and their only way out is to serve Daqian.

Zhai Ning is Qiu Ao's confidant and a member of the Qiu family of Tianxing. He belongs to the third prince faction of Tianxing. The information he has is very important to Da Qian.

The withdrawal of xiyuanze army by the Duke of Wucheng has already touched the bottom line. For Daqian, there is no need for a Star Kingdom to exist, which can no longer be used as a barrier to resist the tide of Xiyuan beasts, but is threatened by the withdrawal of troops from xiyuanze. Just waiting for Fengxiang's army to go south means that the emperor has made up his mind to destroy the two countries in southern Xinjiang. By then, Zhai Ning, who is very familiar to the Tianxing court, the military and the people, will be able to help Da Qian quickly pacify the Tianxing kingdom.

"Lu que, you use this method to force Zhai Ning, will he really return to his heart?" Gu Qingcheng thought about the cause and effect, then asked. He felt that this was not in line with Lu's usual style.

"It depends on which side he's on." Lu lacked to smile to smile, Hun don't care of of say.

"He is a star man. How can he willingly stand on our side?"

"Sister Qingcheng, I'm not talking about Tianxing and Daqian." He pointed to the captive under the mound.

"I see." Gu Qingcheng looked at the prisoners who had been stripped of their armour, and instantly understood.

Tianxing is different from Daqian. In Daqian, as long as he is good in character and has talent and learning, he will be able to make a breakthrough. For more than two hundred years, Daqian was founded, and the court was dominated by the elite of poor families, much longer than the nobles and aristocratic families.

But in Tianxing, this is not the case. Tianxing's court is controlled by xungui family. Several reforms led by Tianxing's humble family failed under the counterattack of xungui's family, which made xungui's family more and more vigilant against the humble family. If you don't want to be a servant or a slave to xungui's family, you can only escape in the mountains and die in the countryside.

Zhai Ning was also born in a poor family. If he hadn't worked for the Qiu family, he would never have done such a job. The depression and pain in it only he can understand. If he can stand on the side of the poor family, which accounts for more than 90% of Tianxing, instead of being a servant and vassal of a family, he will definitely choose to help Daqian.

Da Qian, Tian Xing and Nan Li were originally the land of one country in the period of Da Xuan empire. They all belong to the same origin. Even if Tian Xing and Nan Li were annexed by Da Qian, only the royal families and nobles of the two countries lost their status. For ordinary people, Da Qian's attitude towards the people is much better than that of the two countries.

In Gu Qingcheng's mind, Lu Que's purpose is to force Zhai Ning to a dead end, remove his official position, and turn him into a civilian again, even a rogue bandit inferior to the civilian. Zhai Ning, who wakes up from his power and position, and re understands the sufferings of the people, will surely make a favorable choice for Daqian.

"Thank you, Lu que." Gu Qingcheng sighed.

She knew that Lu que would let Zhai Ning go, and she knew that Zhai Ning would not go to Daqian so soon. But as long as the Huangyanjiang river is dug up, the lion army will be trapped in the north of Huangyanjiang River, and Daqian's chance of winning has been increased by 60%. Only when zhennanguan army comes to the end.

After the end of the battle, before the death of Wang Hong, Nanjiang Hui fell into a brief calm. But when Fengxiang army goes south and Tianxing old king dies, the war in southern Xinjiang will start again. By that time, Lu que had returned to Fengming academy to study, and the only person Zhai Ning knew in Daqian was Gu Qingcheng, who followed Fengxiang's army south again.

At that time, cooperation with Gu Qingcheng will be Zhai Ning's only choice. No matter what conditions Zhai Ning puts forward at the end, it will be beneficial for Da Qianping to destroy the stars. The credit naturally falls on Gu Qingcheng, which can make her gain a firm foothold in the army.

This is the layout of Lu Que's plan. It's about a year's future. It's not only for Daqian, but also for her.

"You are my sister Qingcheng." Lu que looks at Gu Qingcheng with a smile.

"Go back first, and I'll see Zhai Ning." Gu Qingcheng is very charming to see Lu lack one eye.

"Good."

After eating, Lu que ordered to repair Hexing fortress for a day. Although the three captains were puzzled, they did not say much. Yesterday's World War I had convinced them of Lu que. In Lu que, they see the shadow of Lu Chun. They all believe that as long as Lu que grows up, he will become the Prime Minister of Daqian in the next few decades.

The reason why Lu que ordered to repair the day was not only to restore the physical strength of the soldiers, but also to clean the battlefield. The most important thing was to wait for the white wolf king and his wolves to return.

After burying the wolf corpse in the morning, the white wolf king left with the wolves. They were going to chase the crazy lion cavalry who escaped last night. Although many of them escaped from the battlefield last night, neither their own physical strength nor the physical strength of the horses allowed them to run too far. Although there are not many wolves left, Lu believes that as long as the white wolf king is around, it is not a problem to strangle the escaped star cavalry.

It doesn't matter if there's a fish out of the net. Even if Qiu lie, the commander of the crazy Lion War, knew the news that the crazy lion cavalry was defeated in Hexing fortress, he had no ability to change the direction of the war. It takes time to get back and forth. Now Qingqi is destroyed, and Qiu Ao has gone to yanlingyuan in Northwest China. Qiu lie has only one heavy rider left in his hand. In this rainy day and such a muddy road, it's like a fool's dream that this heavy rider wants to catch up with the land.

As long as the water of Huangyan river is introduced into Huangyan's old way, even if Qiu liezhi plans to reach heaven, he can't cross the river in a short time. He can only be honestly trapped on the north bank. At that time, even if he wanted to make a detour, it would be too late. Neither Lu que nor zhennanguan army would give him that time.

At dawn the next day, he left the wolves for a day and a night and returned to Hexing fortress. As expected, one day's March and one night's bloody battle have exhausted the strength of the horses. After these escaped cavalry have run for dozens of miles, the horses can no longer run. There is no end to how to urge them.

"General, according to your orders, we have left the weapons, armor and most of the baggage of the mad lion's light riding in Hexing fortress. The brothers are all ready. We can go. " After breakfast, the three captains came to the stone house where Lu que lived. Yesterday, after a day off and a big victory, everyone recovered a lot both physically and mentally. Even if they went deep into the enemy's territory, they didn't look worried. On the contrary, they were all jubilant.

"All right, let's go." Lu que took a look at the three and got up to say. Lu que naturally knows why the three are like this. If there is no accident, after the three go back, they should all be able to become generals by virtue of their achievements. Although they are only deputy generals, not everyone can cross the threshold from captain to general.

"General." Among the three, Feng Yang was more careful and worried, saying, "the general really wants to return the horses and armor to the prisoners. If they want to escape, it's a very troublesome thing for us."

"It doesn't matter." Lu que waved his hand and said, "there is still a long way to go from here to Huangyan river. Without horses, these captives will slow down our journey. Besides, we only return the horses and armor, not weapons. With wolves on the side, nothing will happen. "

"But general, what if they deliberately slow down?" Feng Yang asked again.

"Then you will know. Let's go. " Lu que smiles and walks out of the stone house.

Feng Yang, Cheng Yuan and He Tao look at each other, but they all don't understand what Lu que means. But when the army set out due south, the three men understood what Lu que meant. The captured cavalry was followed by the wolves led by the white wolf king, and the horses were driven by the fierce pressure of the wolves. The road ahead has been trampled by the fierce wind beast. These horses don't have to worry about sliding.

Lu que wants to keep these people and use them for Daqian in the future, but it doesn't mean that he will worry about the physical limit of these horses. As long as he can get to Huangyanjiang in a day and a half, whether these horses will be injured due to the rapid march is not in Lu que's consideration.

In the middle of the journey, the captives did not want to escape, but when they saw the wolves and the white wolf king who was as big as an ox behind them, no one dared to escape. Let alone being unarmed now, even if they were forced to fight with the huge wolf king, they would be looking for death.

After a day and a half of rapid march, Lu que finally came to the Bank of Huangyan river. An hour ago, they had passed the old road of Huangyan. Across the surging river in front of him, Lu que looked across the Huangyan river. That is the essence of the Star Kingdom. Unfortunately, after this war, he will return to the imperial capital to spend the new year together with his parents. Next year, he will return to Feng Ming academy, and this war will destroy him.

"General Zhai, as long as you dig the Huangyan River from here, you can leave." Lu Kui pointed to the river in front of him and said to Zhai Ning.

"I ~" Zhai Ning knew very well that he had lost 20000 troops. Even if he went back, he would die. Even Qiu lie could not keep him. But when it came to the end, he still hesitated. He knew the footwork of the wild lion Legion very well, and naturally understood what kind of consequences it would bring to the wild lion Legion to dig the Huangyan river here.

Although he didn't know Lu Que's backhand, his experience of more than ten years in the army made him know that Lu Que's determination to lead the water of Huangyan to his old way was not only to slow down the journey of the lion army, he must have a comprehensive plan.

"General Zhai Ning, whether you dig this river or not, you can't go back to Tianxing. Gu Qingcheng, in the name of the ancestors of daqianding government, assures you that as long as this matter is finished, we will let you and your brothers leave safely." Gu Qingcheng said solemnly, but her tiny eyes flashed a dangerous light.

As long as Huangyanjiang is dug up by Zhai Ning, his psychological defense will be torn open by himself, so as to give Gu Qingcheng the chance to control him in the future. If Zhai Ning doesn't agree, she won't care. She will kill him and these prisoners immediately, so as to avoid future trouble.

They are now alone in depth, and the Zhennan pass army will have a few days to come. This is not the time to be soft hearted and benevolent. After the battle of Danshui, Gu Qingcheng would persuade Lu que to kill the prisoners because it was not far from zhennanguan. The situation now is different from that at that time. As long as Zhai Ning says no, Gu Qingcheng will order to fight.

"All right." Zhai Ning hesitated for a long time and sighed. He got off the horse, knelt down in the mud, and kowtowed three heads respectfully in the direction of the Southern Star King capital.

Seeing Zhai Ning's appearance, Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng look at each other, with an imperceptible smile on their lips.

After one afternoon's excavation, 1800 people dug out a deep ditch about two miles long, facing the old road of Huangyan river. One side of the ditch is only a few meters away from Huangyan river.

"Please, sister Qingcheng." Seeing that a lot of water had seeped out of the ditch, Lu que asked the prisoners to come up and ride them with the wind to one side. Now as long as a few meters of earth falls, the water of Huangyan river will rush out. Lu que turns to Gu Qingcheng and says.

"You step back a little bit." Gu Qingcheng glanced at Lu que, patted the saddle with one hand, rose up in the air, drew out his sabre in the air, and waved twelve sabres at the earthwork. Twelve Dao Qi, like the crescent moon, instantly split the earth between the river and the ditch into powder.

Originally, because of the continuous rain, the river water rose a lot, as if it had found a vent, like a runaway wild horse, rushed into the newly dug dike, and galloped towards the old way of Huangyan river.

Looking at the water in front of the grassland, no matter Lu que, Gu Qingcheng, or the officers and soldiers of swift wind riding and Yulin scouting camp, they all gave a knowing smile and cheers.

On the contrary, those star captives are pale as if they were bereaved. At this time, they really become star rebels who have difficulties in returning to their country and home. Even if they were forced to do so, the aristocratic lords who only know how to fight for power and profit and exclude dissidents would not listen to their explanation.

"General Lu, commander Gu, I wonder if we can go now?" Zhai Ning's eyes are full of pain as he looks at the vast river water pouring into Huangyan's hometown. Now he just wants to leave quickly. In his life, he never wants to see the two generals in front of him who look like Golden Boys and girls, but in his heart they are like evil enemy generals.

"Of course. Although I am young, what I say always counts." Lu que nodded with a smile.

"Thank you very much." Zhai Ning arched his hand as if to lead the team away.

"Wait a minute." Gu Qingcheng stopped Zhai Ning and said, "the supplies we left in Hexing fortress belong to you. You can go and take them out. However, general Zhai, I want to give you a suggestion. "

"Go ahead, Mr. Gu."

Gu Qingcheng pointed to the foggy South Bank of the river and said, "there is more than one ferry in Huangyan river. After getting the weapons, I think you can sneak back to Tianxing and pick up your family. You don't have much time. The news here will be sent back to Tianxing King capital, and the efficiency of Tianxing Dynasty hall will only take you ten days to half a month. We let you go, but we don't want your family to fight. It's a pity for life. "

"Thank you, Mr. Gu." Zhai Ning's eyes flickered slightly. He knew that Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng didn't want him to report Qiu lie, but he had no choice at this time. Even if Gu Qingcheng didn't say it, Zhai Ning had to take his family out first. It was a big crime to lose his teacher and humiliate his country and dig up Huangyan river. Naturally, he didn't want his family involved.

"So, general Zhai, goodbye. If you have the chance to come to the capital of Daqian and the government of Wei to find me, although you are defeated by me, you are not a crime of war. I also admire general Zhai's ability." Lu is short of in immediately sincere arch hand.

"General Lu praised me falsely. I'm ashamed. I'm ashamed." Zhai Ning wanted to make a star salute, but as soon as he lifted his hand up, he gave a bitter smile, arched his hand to Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng, and left due west with 1800 people. Obviously, I don't want to participate in the battle of Da Qian and Tian Xing.

"Where are they going?" Gu Qingcheng looked at the distant team and said.

"I don't know." Lu que shook his head.

"Where are we going?"

"Let's go and meet Qiu lie, the lion fighting commander."
