Chapter 407

Among Lu que, Gu Qingcheng and Zhuge Yan, the one who valued Ye Zhiqiu most was Lu que, otherwise he would not have led the two battalions of guards Qingqi that the Emperor gave to Lu que. But if you know ye Zhiqiu best, it's Gu Qingcheng. Although Ye Zhiqiu was transferred to southern Xinjiang by Lu que, mainly to help Princess Tianxiang. But in the war of Tianxing, ye Zhiqiu fought under Gu Qingcheng for a long time. With Gu Qingcheng's insight, she has a deep understanding of Ye Zhiqiu, a young man who took part in the exam at the same year as Lu que, whether in character, talent or temperament.

Although Zhai Ning has reminded Gu Qingcheng that ye Zhiqiu's utilitarian heart is a little heavy, it is not a shortcoming in Gu Qingcheng's opinion. A person like Ye Zhiqiu, who is talented and ambitious, can't be without utilitarian heart. If he doesn't have the right power, how can he realize his ambition.

What's more, his elder brother Gu Qianxue, his cousin Gu qianxiao, and Zhuge Yan, the young Duke of the auxiliary state, are all utilitarian. Even before she had experienced xiyuanze with Lu que, she did not have such an idea in her heart. Growing up in such an environment is the most reasonable description. Otherwise, when she first met Lu que, she would not have said that if his family and country were killed, he would be willing to lead the army against the enemy.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingcheng can't help but look at Lu que with a pair of bright eyes. His eyes are softer than ever before. Lu que has fulfilled his promise. The 17-year-old boy has almost carried the whole country's safety on his shoulders. As long as he succeeds in this battle, he will be more successful than his father Lu Chun, It will also surpass the hundred Li Chengping in the reign of Emperor Wu, which can be directly compared with Lin Sheng and Ren wuhui, who were called Shuangying in the founding period.

Between the eyes, Gu Qingcheng's cheeks show a blush. Lu que has already fulfilled his original promise. What about her? Although they broke the contract and got married by the emperor before, it was still a long time in Gu Qingcheng's mind. After all, although Lu que is the commander-in-chief of Southern Xinjiang, he is still a student of the Academy. According to the rules of the ninth University palace, students are not allowed to marry while they are studying in the Academy.

However, as long as the battle is successful, Fengming academy will not prevent Lu que from graduating ahead of time. Lu Chun, Duke of Wei, and Yu Chuqing, the eldest princess of Wei, also intend to crown Lu que ahead of time. Even if he is still 17 or 18 years old, he can be regarded as an adult. Then their marriage will be put on the agenda of Wei and Ding, and even the emperor will participate in it, Because their marriage was originally an edict, and Lu que was not only the Minister of Da Qian's humerus, but also the nephew of the emperor and the empress.

So is she going to marry into Wei government and become a young master mother? Thinking of this, Gu Qingcheng suddenly felt a little flustered. She didn't know whether she was more happy or restless.

"Sister Qingcheng, what's the matter with you." Lu que didn't know that Gu Qingcheng had so many thoughts in his heart at this moment. Looking at Gu Qingcheng's constantly changing face, some don't understand of ask a way.

"No, nothing." Gu Qingcheng took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and drew the topic back to Ye Zhiqiu. He said, "although Ye Zhiqiu has attracted 30% of the animals, I don't think we need to worry too much about him. His soldiers once followed you and me to fight Danshui and hexingyuan. In his mind, if he is not sure, he will not take over the post. And with his ability, if there is no way to protect himself under the pursuit of the beast tide, then he is not ye Zhiqiu. "

Lu qiaowen shook his head and said, "I don't worry about ye Zhiqiu's wisdom or his ability. In my opinion, he, Meng Cang and Li Chang complement each other very much. Ye Zhiqiu's wisdom is far-reaching, and Li Chang's nature is calm. He is suitable to check and fill up the gaps. Meng Cang is the kind of fierce general who can communicate with each other in the battlefield. These three people work together to make up for each other's shortcomings."

"What are you worried about?" Zhuge Yan asked, "are you worried about the quality of soldiers? The two battalions, Fengqi and Yulin, were formed by the two battalions that followed you at the beginning. You two should know this army best. Let alone the two battalions, they were originally the signboards of both the Fengqi and the Yulin army, but they were all veterans of all wars. I've heard Duanmu say that if the number of these two battalions is not large, and the combined number is only 6000, they can be compared with the Liangzhu battalions of the major legions. "

"I'm not worried about the quality and toughness of the soldiers. The two battalions have been given to me by your majesty as close guards. Although I can't name every soldier completely, I still know the situation." Lu que found a place beside Zhuge Yan and sat down.

"Are you worried about the blood gas of animal tide?" Gu Qingcheng thought a little, understood a few minutes, and asked.

"It seems that you have found out, sister Qingcheng." Lu nodded.

"I'm in charge of Fengxiang yunqi. My cousin told me that before, when the animal tide passed by the foot of the mountain, it was rushed by the fierce blood. The flying animals of yunqi were a little irritable. It took yunqi's soldiers a lot of effort to calm them down. Now nearly 30% of the animal tide is chasing Ye Zhiqiu, Presumably, the wind beast of the wind Riding Camp and the thread horned horse of the scouting camp will also be affected by the blood gas. But now we can't know how big the impact is. If the impact on the wild wind beast and the screw horned horse is too big, no matter how high Ye Zhiqiu's mind is, he will not be able to return to heaven. " Gu Qingcheng also said with some worries.

She finally understood what Lu que was worried about. First, he was worried about the safety of Ye Zhiqiu, Meng Cang, Li Chang and their 6000 Qingqi. Second, he was also worried that Wan Yiye Zhiqiu's army would be destroyed. According to the estimation of time, they should be near the ancient river course from yanlingyuan to Huangyanjiang river. Once they had an accident, the 30% animal tide would lose its target. Whether they continued to go south or went back north, they would encounter the fierce wind and tiger roar of Zhongyang king at a certain time.

If Zhongyang king wants to continue to go north to Danshui to join them, he must first annihilate the 30% animal tide. The cost and time of annihilating the 30% animal tide will affect the overall situation. At that time, in order to maintain the balance of power in the battlefield, Lu Qian must continue to deploy troops from the celestial direction, which is exactly what he does not want to do.

Because the Fengxiang army in the direction of Tianxing has gone through half a year's battle and needs to be repaired urgently, and more than half of Fengxiang yunqi, the most elite of Fengxiang army, has been taken to Danshui by her. Now only the first army of the Yulin army can use Tianxing, but the Yulin Army not only has to suppress the original 18 counties of Tianxing, but also has to guard against the scattered herds of animals in Huangyan River, and its troops are also a little stretched.

As for the xiyuanze corps and Qiu Xu Corps that Tianxing surrendered to, although they have enough people, and there is no shortage of armaments and food, at least at this stage, they can not be used to a large extent.

Zhuge Yan, sitting on one side, instantly understood the concerns of Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng, and gave them a complicated look. In Fengming academy, his military strategy was only a little weaker than that of Lu Kuo, which can be seen from their previous sand table attacks and defenses.

But for the beast tide, even if he had read the relevant classics before, he still didn't have a thorough understanding of Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng. This is not a problem of his own talent, but a problem of his own knowledge. After all, he got something he had never experienced personally on the paper, which is more real and profound.

"You said, if you are in the position of Ye Zhiqiu, what kind of assistance do you need most now?" Lu que was silent for a while and asked.

Gu Qingcheng thought for a moment and said, "Ye Zhiqiu is the party concerned. With his keen sense, he is sure to find out the influence of the tide of animals behind him on the fighting horse, and he will definitely find out how to deal with it. If I were him, what I need most now is rest time. After all, beasts in the animal tide are infected by karma and can consume their life potential to maintain speed and endurance, which is not the case with gales and wildebeests. They should be in urgent need of a relatively safe place to rest at this time, but the rest is secondary. "

"Sister Gu has a point. When they left, they took enough dry food, meat jerky, and bean cakes and alfalfa cakes specially prepared for gale and thread wildebeest. Food is enough to adhere to, the only thing to do is to keep away from the animal tide, as far as possible to seize the time to rest Zhuge Yan nodded and said.

Lu que Wenyan went back to the main position, took out the map of Southern Xinjiang, looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "according to the calculation of foot distance, the nearest one to them is hexingyuan fortress. If ye Zhiqiu can make a maze there, he should be able to open space with the beast tide behind him, so that soldiers and war beasts can rest."

As Lu que expected, ye Zhiqiu, Meng Cang and Li Chang were leading the two battalions of Fengqi and scouts to rest in the mountains 50 miles west of hexingyuan fortress. But the weather is not beautiful, at this time they are in the position of a hazy drizzle, although the rain is not very big, but the south of the cold winter rain, drenched in the cold light armour on the feeling, or very uncomfortable.

At this time, regardless of the mud on the ground, ye Zhiqiu sat down beside a big tree with a tired face, holding his helmet in one hand and stroking his hair in the other hand. He didn't know whether he was soaked in sweat or wet by rain. Next to him were groups of soldiers sitting in the mud with the same posture as him, while next to each soldier were white puffing beasts and horned horses.

Both Fengqi camp and scouting camp are elite soldiers in Daqian army, and half of them have followed Lu Que in the two wars of Danshui and hexingyuan. In the past half year, they have changed to Tianxing, and they have made military achievements. In addition, they are the commander-in-chief of Southern Xinjiang. It can be said that the morale of these two battalions is the highest among the more than 10000 troops in southern Xinjiang.

However, after all this galloping, both the veteran and the carefully selected war beasts have reached the limit of physical strength, and the feeling of fatigue and hardship is constantly eroding the nerves of everyone and each war beast. But they all know that there is not much time left for them, and they can't have a good rest in the drizzly mountains of Southern Xinjiang. They can only eat as much as possible to recover their physical strength as soon as possible.

Through the rain, ye Zhiqiu looks at the hexingyuan fortress in the distance where white smoke is still emitting in the rain. Just a few hours ago, he led Qingqi to rush all the way to hexingyuan fortress before the tide of animals. He raised the smoke with the cooking stoves and some abandoned military funds left by the Yulin army when they went south. Then he threw some preserved meat into the boiling water in the pot. When the smell of meat overflowed, he left immediately.

As he expected, most of the intelligent herds were eroded by the red world karma and ferocity, and they followed their own instincts. After smelling the smell of meat, they moved closer to hexingyuan fortress. Coupled with the rain blocking, temporarily washed away the smell when they left, which let them have this breathing opportunity.

"Master ye, what do you want to do next?" It's a person who shouldn't have been here at this time. That's Lin Mingxuan, who used to be a dark Phoenix and a red vulture, and now is the Duke of Daqian.

After the separation from Yu Chuxin, Lin Mingxuan, who was supposed to go south to meet with the transferred people of dark Huang, went to Zhongyang King's army. Because he was worried about the change of the animal tide, he didn't leave after he arrived at hexingyuan. It was only when ye Zhiqiu led the army to lead the herd that he joined him and arrived here together.

"Duke Lin, just call me by my name. I don't dare to be a military adviser." Ye Zhiqiu said humbly. It's nothing if someone else calls him ye Junshi. After all, this is the position given to him by Lu que, but Lin Mingxuan is different. He is not only the Duke of Daqian, but also the founder of the country. Although there is nothing extraordinary about him except his personal cultivation, his ancestor is Lin Sheng, one of the founders of the country.

"I'm a generation older than you, so I'll call you Zhiqiu." Lin Mingxuan has no affectation either. Although he is a hereditary Duke, he is still a magnanimous man in the world. It can be seen from the fact that he didn't seek a position in the imperial court or the army after he regained his ancestral title that he didn't pay much attention to power.

But not paying attention to power and position is not the same as not paying attention to Daqian. This Daqian River and mountain is also imbued with the efforts of his ancestors. He is absolutely not allowed to be destroyed by anyone, even the beast tide that has been talked about by others. Otherwise, he won't lead the Dark Phoenix master to protect Yu Tianxiang in the early days of the battle.

But Lin Mingxuan knew his weakness. If he was wise and resourceful, he would not be as good as this gifted young man who was ten or twenty years younger than him. He couldn't help looking at Ye Zhiqiu and waiting for his reply.
