Chapter 178

At this time, the sun has not yet set, and even the school's dinner time has not arrived. To say that I am tired and go back to my room to have a rest is to find a reason to leave. He didn't want his bad mood to affect Zhuge Yan.

Lu que is not a pedantic person. His father Lu Chun and his mother Yu Chuqing are both famous generals in the world. He naturally knows that fighting for his country is a matter of life or death. He also agrees that it's a good thing that he will die in the battlefield. Therefore, in the battle of Danshui and the battle of hexingyuan, he was the first soldier to lead the army and killed dozens of Tianxing soldiers himself.

But now, in addition to more than 100000 soldiers from the south, there are also 50000 or 600000 civilians in xuan'an Prefecture. If Ke Yu, commander of Lei Ying army, does not surrender, he will have to burn all the stones. Hundreds of thousands of big cities will be burned to white in a few days and disappear from the map. He does not want to see such a thing.

Lu que suddenly thought of Qiu lie, the commander of the Lion War. He had already taken out a piece of green wood leaf to help him resist the decline, but he still resolutely chose to die. He died under the spear of the dragon and thorns. He would never forget what he said before Qiu lie died.

"General Lu, military adviser Gu, I hope Da Qian will not kill too much when he is fighting against Tianxing and Nanli. The people are innocent."

"Be kind to the people of Tianxing. We are of the same origin. Please."

Lu que can now remember Qiu lie's appearance when he said these words, and he also promised Qiu lie at the beginning, but now~

Lu que takes out a folded silk from his arms. This is a copy of the landscape map of Tianxing and Nanli thirty-six counties that Qiu lie gave him and Gu Qingcheng. Gu Qingcheng originally gave it to waige. This one in Lu Que's arms is Gu Qingcheng's re description according to the original one. There are two. The other one is in Gu Qingcheng's hands. As for the original map given to waige, Lu que doesn't know what to do with waige, but according to his conjecture, when his brother-in-law Zhongyang Wang and his army went to Huairen's south, they must also have this map.

Lu que spread out the map and carefully looked at the terrain around xuan'an county. According to the calculation of time, it took only two days from Beining county to xuan'an county with the marching speed of Huxiao army. Now it has appeared under xuan'an county and surrounded with the strong wind army.

That is to say, as long as Ke Yu does not surrender and still clings to the benefits of the city, the two armies will carry out the plan of burning the city.

Recalling the time when the flying eagle newspaper in southern Xinjiang was sent back to the imperial capital, Lu que murmured that "the fire oil enough to burn xuanan Prefecture will arrive at the front line in five to seven days at the earliest, while Dongya will fly there from Qianyuan city in two days and one night at the earliest. Besides today, we must find a way to break the deadlock in xuanan within two days."

Lu Que's eyes were fixed on the place near xuan'an County on the map. His mind turned quickly. Countless strategies were generated in his mind, and he denied them one by one.

In Lu Que's eyes, the current South to the battlefield is a stalemate. Although he had imagined this kind of situation before, he didn't think that Ke Yu, the commander of Lei Ying's battle, gave up Beining county and the northern part of xuan'an County, which are closer to Daqian, so as to shrink his troops to the front line of xuan'an county city.

According to the truth, Ke Yu gathered his troops to defend xuan'an Prefecture and city, so that Da Qian could not go south at ease. At the same time, he sent his troops back to China to help him. This is not wrong in itself, but he ignored the irresistible military situation. When the military situation was interrupted, the food situation was the most poisonous. It was because there was Nanli Dacang in xuan'an city that Ke Yu dared to defend the city, and the terrain of xuan'an city was not afraid of flooding.

But Lu que knew that Da Qian would use fire to attack. He didn't understand that Ke Yu, as a commander in charge of the South and north of Xinjiang, didn't he know that Da Qian would get the fierce oil mine after GUI Bei county was lost? Or does he think Daqian can't use fire to attack?

After thinking about it for a long time, Lu que didn't think of a way to solve the problem. The current situation is that the emperor's intention to destroy the two countries in southern Xinjiang has been firm. In order to complete the strategy formulated before the land shortage, the Huxiao Legion and the gale Legion must annihilate the leiying Legion before Nanli sent reinforcements, and after annihilating the leiying legion, they will go south to block the River and confront Nanli across the river, so as to attract the attention of Nanli and Tianxing.

At present, Ke Yu shrinks his troops and sticks to his guard in order to pull out Da Qian's troops. What da Qian's troops in the south are short of is time. So in the end, even Yu Yuanpu, the king of Zhongyang, who is in charge of the battle in the south, will choose to burn the city with fire to ensure the victory of the whole southern Xinjiang.

If Lu que wants to keep his promise to Qiu lie and keep the civilians in xuan'an Prefecture, he must come up with a way to break through the city in a short time. But even his father Lu Chun can only think of using fire to open the southward passage as soon as possible. How easy can he think of this way.

"Dong ~ Dong ~ Dong ~" just as Lu que was thinking hard, there were three knocks on the door. Then the door of the outer room was pushed open.

Lu que was stunned when he heard the footsteps coming into the house, because he was too familiar with the footsteps, because the owner of the footsteps belonged to Gu Qingcheng.

"Sister Qingcheng, why are you here?" Looking at Gu Qingcheng with a food box, Lu que asked in surprise.

Gu Qingcheng is now the deputy commander of Fengxiang army. Although she has to wait for the battle in southern Xinjiang to take over all the rights belonging to the deputy commander, she is also in charge of nearly 40000 people in the Third Battalion of the left army at this time. Even the famous Fengxiang yunqi is under her command at this time. Tomorrow Fengxiang army will start secretly. According to the truth, Gu Qingcheng should be very busy now. How can he appear in Fengming academy.

"Listen to Zhuge Yan. They say you didn't eat at night. I'll give you something to eat." Gu Qingcheng said with a smile, skillfully put the books on the table aside, and put a few dishes in the food box on the table one by one.

"It's not your baizhenlou dish, but it's also a classic dish of yongxinzhai. Would you like to taste it?" Gu Qingcheng put a bowl of rice in front of Lu Que and took out a pair of chopsticks from the food box.

"No, shouldn't you be in Fengxiang army now? How can I go back to the school? " Lu is short of some Leng Leng to take over chopsticks, immediately react to come over to open mouth to ask a way.

"I knew you were not a dishonest man." Gu Qingcheng picked up the picture of the thirty-six counties in southern Xinjiang that she had depicted with her own hands, and said with a smile, "a gentleman has a promise. You are not the only one who promised to fight Qiu lie."

Gu Qingcheng knew Lu Que's temperament too well. After learning about the southern Xinjiang military news, Gu Qingcheng thought that Lu que would try to prevent the burning of the city in the front line. But there must be a premise, that is, there is a faster way to break the city than burning the city. Otherwise, everything is in vain. Neither the emperor nor the Zhongyang king on the front line will reject the original plan, Besides, the plan itself was put forward by Lu que, and the details are from waige. But Gu Qingcheng knows that most of it was made by Lu Chun, the Duke of Wei, her future father-in-law.

Under such circumstances, it is extremely difficult to change the previous resolution. Although Gu Qingcheng knew that Lu que would not come in disorder, he was worried and went back to the academy to have a look before going out.

"Sister Qingcheng, did you come here to think of a better way?" Lu's eyes brightened and he looked at Gu Qingcheng with some hope.

He has been staring at the map for a long time, but he really can't think of any way to break the situation, because it is a contradictory proposition to ensure the victory of Da Qian and the implementation of the original plan, and to ensure that the civilians in xuan'an county will not be hurt. Besides, if we don't use fire to burn the city, we have to ensure that the danger of the thunder Eagle army can be solved in a short time, unless there are 200000 more troops. With the troops now leaving the battlefield in the south, even Lu que can't think of a better way. It seems that the fire attack mentioned by his father is the only feasible strategy.

"You eat something first, and then you finish it." Gu Qingcheng didn't say it directly. Instead, he took out a pair of chopsticks from his food box, sat opposite Lu Que and began to serve him.

Lu que sighs and calms his mind. He knows that Gu Qingcheng is going to fight tomorrow. Today's meal may be the last one they have together in one or two years. He simply forgets the battlefield in southern Xinjiang for a while and eats with Gu Qingcheng.

Although yongxinzhai is not as famous as baizhenlou, and it is not as large as baizhenlou, it is also a famous characteristic restaurant in the capital, especially Suzhai.

Although they didn't mention the war in southern Xinjiang, they were both worried. After a meal, Gu Qingcheng put the cold dishes back into the food box and said, "I didn't think of a way. My father told me the general plan of the southern expedition before he left. It seems that the move of burning the city has to be carried out. Don't say you and I are now in the imperial capital. Even in the south, it's hard to stop us from leaving the front line. "

"Sister Qingcheng, I understand what you said, but it's hundreds of thousands of innocent lives. If it's the Three Kingdoms in Northern Xinjiang, it's OK, but the people in southern Xinjiang are also our qingmuyan people. I'm not reconciled. If they really died in the fire, I ~ alas ~ "Lu Kuo sighed.

"I know how you feel. When Qiu Shuai gave this picture to you and me, the only requirement was not to hurt the innocent. But it's a war. It's a war of annihilating the country with six legions. It's been more than ten days since the news came back to Nanli. Nanli's reinforcements are likely to be on the way. The wind force and Huxiao army must not be dragged in xuan'an Prefecture. Otherwise, when Nanli comes to help, we will be besieged. " Gu Qingcheng put the map on the table again and pointed to Nanli Wangdu and Ningan river.

"Shall we do nothing?" Lu que raised his head and asked, "how can we live up to Qiu Shuai's trust?"

"Qiu lie's agreement with you and me is personal, while the war in southern Xinjiang is just. We can't place our commitment on the interests of Da Qian and hundreds of thousands of soldiers in southern Xinjiang. Lu que, have you ever thought that even if you come up with a better way now, it's too late." Gu Qingcheng sighed and went forward to pull Lu Que's hand.

"I have calculated the time. As long as there is a new way in two days, I will be able to fly to Zhongyang king at the front line at the speed of Dongya." Lu Que's eyes flashed and insisted.

"Even if you think of a new way, will your majesty agree? Will Wai Ge agree? Even if they agree, a process is needed, and the process takes time. When the imperial edict reaches the front line, will Zhongyang Wang and the commanders of Huxiao and FanFeng agree? The so-called "will be outside the king's order is not subject to, at this time, the layout of the south from the battlefield is nearly completed, rashly change the plan, do they really have time to adjust?"

"This ~" Lu que hears the words, because he knows Gu Qingcheng's words are reasonable. Before, he had been thinking about how to find a new way to capture xuan'an Jiancheng, but he didn't really think about it.

Gu Qingcheng shook his trembling hand and said, "Lu que, now the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in xuan'an city are not in my hands, nor in the hands of Zhongyang king on the front line. Everything depends on the choice of Ke Yu, commander of Lei Ying army. As commander of Nanli Town, he doesn't care about the life and death of his own people. Why should we care?"

Lu Qian closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened it again, he was calm. "Sister Qingcheng, you're right. It's not you and me, or even your majesty, who can stop the fire of xuan'an, but Ke Yu. In that case, it's useless to think more. "

"You're just caught up in the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. With your intelligence, even if I don't come, you will understand sooner or later." Gu Qingcheng laughs. Today, she is afraid that Lu que will be trapped by reason, because she knows that although Lu que is decisive in fighting on the battlefield, she is essentially a kind, modest and trustworthy person.

Qiu lie, the commander-in-chief of lion wars, died in front of them. His calmness, his magnanimity, and his wisdom, which were different from those of one country and one dynasty, greatly touched and influenced them.

"I was afraid that you would be influenced by Qiu lie before, but now I feel relieved." Gu Qingcheng raises the charcoal stove and sits on a clay pot for boiling water. Knowing that Lu lacks good tea, she wants to make a cup of tea for him before she leaves.

"He has given me some influence, but I don't think it's bad. Qiu Shuai's mind is really admirable. It's a pity that if Ke Yu chooses to die with the city, you and I will lose faith, and even have no chance to explain." Lu que took a can of tea from the shelf and said.

"There's nothing we can do about it. You and I are just passers-by in the world. If things are like this, how much can you and I change?"

Lu nodded and sighed.

When the water was boiling, Gu Qingcheng's skillful warm pot, rinse cup and wash tea were ready. After a while, two hot cups of tea were ready. She handed one to Lu Que and said, "all the commanders in southern Xinjiang are veteran generals in the army. If they can solve the problem without this strategy, I don't think they will use it. After all, they don't want to leave records of burning and killing hundreds of thousands of people in history books, but it's a national war, We should start from the interests of big cadres. Personal gains and losses are nothing at this time. They are like this, so are you and me. "

"Good tea, or sister Qingcheng, your craft is good, I can't make such a taste." Lu que picked up the teacup and sniffed it at his nose. He drank it three times. A natural fragrance came straight from his mouth to his heart. He knew that Gu Qingcheng had come here specially to enlighten him. He was moved.

Lu que has not thought about the war in Nanli. Since he can't even think of a better plan, let alone anything else. He believes that he is not the only one who is entangled with him at this time, but also his father Lu Chun and Qian Huang Yu Yuanxu, as well as Zhongyang Wang and Huxiao, the commander of the two armies in the front line of Nanli. No one is willing to bear the evil reputation of burning and killing hundreds of thousands of people, and no one is willing to leave such a record in the history books. Now it all depends on Ke Yu's choice.

"If it's good, drink more. I don't know when it will be next time." Gu Qingcheng added a cup of tea for Lu que.

"Sister Qingcheng, thank you." Lu que looked at Gu Qingcheng and said.

"You and I don't have to talk about that." Gu Qingcheng shook his head. "I'm going to fight tomorrow. I just want to see you before I leave. Those words are just incidental."

"Ah, if you don't tell me, I almost forgot." Lu Kuiyi patted his forehead, got up in Gu Qingcheng's surprised eyes and walked towards the inner room. After a while, he took out a flat wooden box and handed it to Gu Qingcheng.

"What is this? For me? " Gu Qingcheng asked curiously.

After hearing this, Lu que scratched his head and said, "well, I also want to give it to you, but it's not mine. It can only be considered as a temporary loan. When you come back from the southern expedition, you still have to pay it back. As for what it is, don't you just open it and have a look? "

Gu Qingcheng tilted his head and looked at Lu que. He opened the wooden box and exclaimed, "is this longevity soft armor?"

"Well, this is the immortal soft armor of the Dahuang temple. I beg your majesty to borrow it from the royal secret library. The battlefield is dangerous. You can go south in it, and I can rest assured." Lu said with a smile.

Since the collapse of the Dahuang temple, only three pieces of Changsheng soft armor have been kept in the royal secret library. Before the rebellion of the eighteen Marquis's house, father Lu Chun lent one piece of Changsheng soft armor to zhugewei, zhugeyan's second uncle. During Gu Qingcheng's South expedition, Lu que asked his mother Yu Chuqing to lend this self-defense treasure to Gu Qingcheng.

"This immortal soft armor is the secret treasure of the Dahuang temple. It has been stored in the secret library. I saw it once when I was a child. It took a lot of effort for you to borrow it." Gu Qingcheng's eyebrows drooped and her hands caressed the tiny and dense armor piece of Changsheng soft armor. She knew that this soft armor could resist the catastrophe, and the strong man at the top could fight with all his strength. The arrows and arrows on the battlefield could not penetrate the defense of this soft armor. Having this armor would be an extra life.

"All right." Lu que smiles. He went directly to the emperor's uncle a few days ago.

"That's why you went to the palace a few days ago?" Gu Qingcheng takes a look at Lu que.

"Well." Lu nodded.

"Thank you, Lu que." Gu Qingcheng's treasure puts the longevity soft armor back into the wooden box. She knows that even if Lu que wants to borrow it, it's not so easy.

"Didn't you just say that? We don't have to talk about that." Lu que laughs, "sister Qingcheng, I asked the queen for some Liuyun tea, but I can't make this kind of tea well. You can teach me."

"Good."
