This is what Qiu Xu is most afraid of. Da Qian runs to Lei Jun and wants to go back to zhennanguan. Gu Qingcheng's Fengxiang yunqi also wants to leave and go north. Once the badminton army and Fengxiang army retreat, whether they return to the north of zhennanguan, or to Guangji and Nanfang seven counties, it is not a good thing for Tianxing.
Because even if he and Yan Tuohai can recover the counties from Huangyanjiang River to guangjihe River in a short time, Tianxing's military strength can't do everything, let alone guard against the tide of beasts. Once the tide of animals moved south, they didn't even have the strategic depth to shrink. Qiu Xu even saw the scene of purgatory under the tide of animals.
Qiu Xu, who said this, didn't understand what he was feeling. Daqian is the enemy of the world. If it wasn't for the outbreak of the animal tide and the joint efforts of Fengxiang, Yulin and benlei, the king capital Zhongxing city would not last long. The kingdom of Tianxing, which has been handed down for more than 500 years, would surely be destroyed in Daqian's hands.
But now he doesn't want Daqian to withdraw, because once Daqian's troops leave, he is not sure that he will be able to hold on to the tide of beasts. At this time, Qiu Xu, who was always wise, felt a little at a loss. He didn't know the future of Tianxing. He lived for more than 40 years, but it was the first time that he encountered such a complicated situation. Even in those years, he had never been so entangled in the dispute over the four sons' right.
"Isn't the withdrawal of Da Qian exactly what Qiu Shuai and Yan Shuai look forward to every day? Don't you shrink all your troops back to star city just to let us retreat automatically until the cold and rainy season, and then you can recover your lost territory? " Gu Qingcheng looked at Qiu Xu and Yan Tuohai's face with a smile and said.
Yan Tuohai and Qiu Xu look a little ugly when they hear that, because Gu Qingcheng is right. They really plan to do so, but at this time and that time, rather than facing the tide of beasts, they want to fight a decisive battle with the army of Da Qian. At that time, even if they lose, they will live up to the righteousness of their country, and more importantly, Da Qian will destroy the country, But it will never kill the city, and after the tide of animals, human and animals will disappear, and dogs and chickens will not stay. There is an essential difference between the two.
"Gu Shuai, when you ask us to come here, you just want to use the tide of animals as a threat to let us make a choice. But how do we know what you said is true? If you deceive us and wait for the wrong number, aren't we too late to repent? " Yan Tuohai's eyes stare at Gu Qingcheng's expression. The fact is so big that even he doesn't know how to make a decision. He wants to see some clues from Gu Qingcheng's face to distinguish the truth from the falsehood.
"I have already said whether it is true or not. As for whether you believe it or not, what does it have to do with me?" Gu Qingcheng said with indifference, "I will lead the army to leave in a few days. The Tianxing war has nothing to do with me any more. I will not even set foot on this land in my later life. Besides, I'm deputy marshal Fengxiang. I'm following the orders of the outer court. It's not a question for me to consider whether the stars will survive or perish. I've asked two of you to come here this year just to return the favor of the former marshal. As for how you choose, it's naturally your business. "
Gu Qingcheng's tone of indifference makes Yan Tuohai and Qiu Xu feel frightened and helpless. Because as Gu Qingcheng said, she is only one of the commanders of Daqian's army, and she is also the deputy commander of Fengxiang's army. On top of her are the commanders of various armies, the Prime Minister of waige's army, and the man who is leading the army to the south, Lu que, who is really planning the layout of the battle in southern Xinjiang, as long as she obeys the military orders, what will Tianxing do in the future, It's not something she should consider in her current military position.
What's more, Qiu Xu knows what Gu Qingcheng means when he says that there is a human relationship between the mad lion and the commander. At the beginning, it was his elder brother Qiu lie who gave Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng the map of Tianxing and the mountains and rivers of the thirty-six counties in the south that made Da Qian's attack on Tianxing so smooth. Now she told them that the Xiyuan animal tide was about to break out. She didn't care how they would choose, because no matter what they chose, Tianxing couldn't continue to exist, either on top of the animal tide, or after the animal tide, she was killed by the big drought. This is the general trend, as it has been fated, no matter how they struggle, they can not get rid of it.
"Whether Daqian and Tianxing can make peace or not, we Tianxing bow down to Daqian, regard Daqian as the country of suzerain, pay tribute every year and join the court every year." Yan Tuohai thought for a while and asked tentatively.
Gu Qingcheng sniffed Yan Tuohai and said, "let's not talk about whether Yan Shuai is qualified to make this decision. Even if Yan Shuai is qualified, I don't have the right to agree with you. Moreover, even my father, the Minister of foreign cabinet, doesn't have the right to answer you. You are going to Qianyuan, the imperial capital, to discuss this with foreign ministers." At this point, Gu Qingcheng shook his head and said, "but it takes a long time to go. Even if we don't attack the city, I'm afraid the beast tide won't give you this time."
"According to Gu Shuai, it seems that we have to open the gates of the stars and tie our hands. Gu Shuai asked us to come, but he said so. It's hard to avoid people's doubts. " Qiu Xu is obviously not satisfied with Gu Qingcheng's words, but also says.
"I have already said that this matter has nothing to do with me. In your mind, whether the country and the country are important or thousands of people are important, you will naturally have a measure. Now that the words have been finished and the human relationship has been paid off, I'll leave the city. " Then Gu Qingcheng got up and arched his hand.
"Gu Shuai is leaving now?" Yan Tuohai and Qiu Xu didn't expect that Gu Qingcheng said to go, without the slightest sense of procrastination. For a moment, they were surprised.
"Now that I've finished, there are so many things in the army that I have to go back to the camp to prepare. As for Tianxing ~ "here, Gu Qingcheng looks at them and shakes his head." I don't think Yan Shuai and Qiu Shuai want Tianxing's fate to be decided by me, but if they choose to stop fighting, they can contact my father. If they can, Qingcheng hopes to work together with them for the well-being of Yan people. If you can't, it's just fate. "
When Gu Qingcheng said this, he whistled. The white thread wildebeest galloped out of the army and came to Gu Qingcheng. Gu Qingcheng turned over and got on his horse. He never looked at Yan Tuohai and Qiu Xu again and led the army back to the northwest camp.
Looking at Gu Qingcheng, who left without looking back, and looking at the clean Fengxiang yunqi, Yan Tuohai and Qiu Xu felt a little heavy. They didn't expect Gu Qingcheng to leave like this. Yan Tuohai, in particular, is the only royal lineage in the star city at this time. The fate of the whole star, the inheritance of the country, the safety of the people, and the survival of Yan's ancestral temple are all on him at this time, which makes him a little out of breath. At this time, he could not help complaining about his nephew Yan Wensheng. He was a royal family, but he was not the king of stars. He should not have taken such a heavy responsibility.
After a long time, Yan Tuohai felt a little irritable. He picked up the cup that had not moved, drank it and wiped the tea liquid from the corner of his mouth. Yan Tuohai turned to Qiu Xu and asked, "Qiu Xiandi, what do you think of this matter?"
"Sir, this is not a place to talk. We'd better go back to the city first and invite Mr. Qiu Xiang and Mr. Wen to come and discuss with each other." Qiu Xu converged the mood that fluctuates ceaselessly for a while to open mouth to say.
"Well, let's go back to the city first." Yan Tuohai looked around and sighed, but he didn't jump on the mount again, so he restrained his beloved fighting horse and walked to the gate step by step.
Looking at Yan Tuohai's appearance, Qiu Xu sighed and followed him with his own mount.
"Qing Cheng, how about Yan Tuohai and Qiu Xu?" Gu Qingcheng returns to the northwest camp. As soon as he enters the Chinese army tent, Gu Huairen, who has been waiting for a long time, quickly gets up to welcome him. He looks forward to Gu Qingcheng and asks.
"Father, I have already said what I should say. As for the choice of Tianxing, it is not the daughter's control." Gu Qingcheng shakes his head, holds Gu Huairen's hand and sends him to the throne. Then he sits on his left hand.
"Yes, it's not a small thing after all." Gu Huairen nodded, and a smile of shame appeared on his face. Ever since he learned that the Xiyuan beast tide was about to break out, even with his mind cultivated for many years, he could not help feeling like a sword hanging on his head. Maybe it would be cut down at any time, which made people scared all the time and could not calm down at all. Also because of this, Gu Huairen will be able to take the Star City bloodlessly, feel some worry about gain and loss.
Gu Qingcheng naturally knows what his father is looking forward to, but he is not sure about Tianxing's choice. First of all, Yan Tuohai is not the king of Tianxing. Now that Tianxing has only one important city in Wangdu and several counties in Wangji, Kaicheng surrender is equivalent to Tianxing surrender. It is not easy for Yan Tuohai to make this decision.
And even if he could make such a decision, it might not be smooth. At this time, Yan Tuohai and Qiu Xu were in charge of the army separately in Zhongxing city. In addition, Chai, Xie and the prime minister Qiu of Shiqing, as well as the deep-rooted big and small families in the city, the interests of so many families could not reach an agreement. Even Yan Tuohai and Qiu Xu, who were in charge of military power, were united, If we can't integrate the interests of all parties, there will be many twists and turns. Maybe in the end, the whole star city will have to bury these greedy families.
This situation is also not allowed to happen because rather than end up like this, it would be better to spend some troops directly attacking the city and save a lot of trouble.
Gu Qingcheng knows that Yan Tuohai and Qiu Xu are not stubborn and pedantic people who guard a corner of the city regardless of the life and death of the people, but it is still very difficult for them to make this decision, because first of all, they need a craftsman who can peel the cocoon and draw the thread, and first of all, they need to solve the tangled families in Zhongxing city.
"Qing Cheng, if they can't give a response, what will Lu que do?" After thinking for a while, Gu Huairen asked.
"Father, it's just an attempt. The difference is that we can get the last troops of Tianxing, which has little to do with the overall situation. If they don't reply within 10 days, my father will attack the city according to the original plan, so that we can solve the problem of Tianxing family once and for all Gu Qingcheng said with some disapproval.
Gu Huairen shook his head in disapproval and said, "in the face of the tide of beasts, every more force, we have more chances of winning. Now Daqian has mobilized his troops to the limit. All the emperors have only royal guards to garrison them. It can be said that if we don't call back the veterans who have left the army, it will be very difficult for us to build up a regiment with both combat effectiveness and organizational structure in a short time. In the face of this situation, Tianxing, the last 200000 troops, is very precious. It is not that this matter does not involve the overall situation. "
Gu Huairen has been a military Minister for more than ten years. He even knows more about the situation of Daqian's military than the Emperor himself. It seems that the main force of the Changqing army and the left army are forbidden to come to the south. But behind this, it also means that the forces in Daqian's country are in an extremely dangerous situation. If they can't stop the tide of beasts and let the tide of beasts break through Zhennan pass, Da Qian even had to move his capital to Yanyang city in the north, relying on the four legions in Northern Xinjiang, in order to preserve the ancestral temple.
Lu's coming to Nanlai is a gamble of the emperor, a gamble on the national fortune of the emperor, and a gamble that can only succeed but not fail. Therefore, Gu Huairen hopes that Tianxing will surrender rather than destroy Tianxing. After getting Tianxing's last army, they will have more room to turn around. Maybe in the end, the more than 200000 troops will become the decisive force to reverse the war.
Gu Huairen doesn't believe in Lu Que's ability, nor does he believe in the judgment of the emperor and the court. But as the Prime Minister of the great army, he has to take precautions against any possible trouble. This is what he has to do.
"My father said that I was negligent." Gu Qingcheng pondered for a while and nodded. At this time, he finally understood why Lu que, who had been committed to the destruction of the Tianxing family, had to make such a decision at this time. This is a kind of helpless compromise under the current situation, but it is also a kind of necessity. Now it depends on whether the ruling families in Zhongxing city can seize this glimmer of vitality. Think of here, Gu Qingcheng eyes flash a trace of haze, looked up to the tent, heart secret way "hope Yan Tuohai and Qiu Xu don't disappoint Lu lack this kind of good intentions."
"Well, you're about to leave for the north, so you don't have to worry about it. My father is not old, so I'll leave it to my father." Looking at the haze in his daughter's eyes, Gu Huairen said.
"Yes, my father and daughter are going to the camp in the south of the city. They need to consult their aunt and Su Junshi about some things to see if they have anything to explain."
"That's fine. You go."
