Gu Qingcheng led his men and horses to repair the castle for three days.
Huo Sanlang also observed it closely for three days.
He found that the Ninth Prince really didn't look like an immature boy who had never been exposed to military affairs.
The Ninth Prince is familiar with the art of war and knows how to manage the army.
Huo Sanlang once tentatively chatted with the Ninth Prince. From the other party's words, deeds, speech content, etc., he speculated that the Ninth Prince must have read some military books.
"Talking on paper"?
It was the first time he led troops and he performed so amazingly?
Either he is a genius or he lied. qδ
However, Huo Sanlang prefers the former.
and--
For some reason, Huo Sanlang saw a unique temperament in the Ninth Prince.
"He is not a general who leads the army, but he has the ambition and domineering attitude of the founding emperor."
After returning to Xizhou, Huo Sanlang once said this when he found time to report back to General Huo.
"Oh? You have such a high opinion of him?"
General Huo thought that the Ninth Prince was just a young man with a talent for leading troops.
Unexpectedly, his son would lift the Ninth Prince to such a height.
"I can't explain why! But I just feel like this!"
Huo Sanlang scratched his head. To be honest, he found it incredible.
A young man under twenty years old.
Still the prince of Qing Dynasty.
There is no need for him to create a new dynasty.
Why do you think he wants to be the emperor?
General Huo fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he raised his eyelids and said, "Maybe your feeling is right!"
The Qing Dynasty had already been founded, but there was the Yu Dynasty to the north and the Feng Dynasty to the south.
The world will be united if it is divided for a long time.
The situation of three dynasties may soon be broken.
And if the Ninth Prince had the ability to unify the world, his achievements would be no less than founding a dynasty!
General Huo is a warrior on the battlefield. In addition to believing in his own abilities, he also believes in that mysterious and mysterious intuition.
When leading the troops in battle, General Huo relied on his almost beastly instinct to avoid many dangers.
Therefore, General Huo instinctively chose to believe the "feeling" Huo Sanlang said.
"...Let's take a look!"
General Huo is not an impulsive person, especially since this matter is of great importance, so he must be cautious.
He found a moment to invite Gu Qingcheng over, pretending to be his father-in-law, Lao Taishan, and said sincerely: "Jiulang, what are your plans?"
"On the northwest front, there are three major cities and nine small border towns, and border troops are stationed at each place."
As General Huo spoke, he took out a map and drew his fingers on the border line.
"Xizhou is the garrison of my Huo family. I dare not say it has an iron wall, but there are 30,000 troops stationed there."
Therefore, Xizhou is the safest.
The Ninth Prince and his party can stay in Xizhou if they just want to be gold-plated.
When there is a war, it is enough to follow the army and wave the flag, go around the battlefield and get some credit.
Gu Qingcheng didn't comment, just looked at the map silently.
General Huo raised his eyebrows, then moved his fingers, "This is a border town, a little far away from the grassland. The city is a little dilapidated, but there are also 10,000 troops stationed there."
Gu Qingcheng followed General Huo's fingers and looked over.
Well, the border town is really good. It's not big and it's close to Xizhou.
If there is a situation, Xizhou will be able to rescue as soon as possible.
This is a gilded place second only to Xizhou.
Gu Qingcheng still didn't speak.
General Huo's eyes flashed with interest, and he slid his finger again, "This is Beicheng, the northernmost point of the northwest line."
"To the west is the grassland of Xirong, and to the north is the territory of the Yu Dynasty."
north
The city is almost the most dangerous area in the northwest.
There are several "conflicts" every year.
Either the Xirong cavalry plundered, or the Yu Dynasty soldiers and horses invaded.
In fact, in the past few decades, the city of Beicheng has been occupied by the Yu Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty.
The situation in Beicheng is a bit like the small county town where the Ninth Prince fell off the cliff.
Located on the border between the two Koreas, the question of ownership has never been clear.
Whichever country is powerful and wants to test the enemy country, they will use this city to test the waters.
Therefore, even the people here are somewhat unclear as to which dynasty they are from.
Household registration is chaotic, nationality is unclear, and the people do not have a strong sense of belonging.
Back then, Wu Yanniang had the courage to save a strange man of unknown origin and unknown friend or foe, and she was also willing to do so——
What?
Do you think this person is from the enemy country opposite?
ha!
Who said the other side is an enemy country?
My grandfather also said that when he was alive, our place was under the control of the opposite party.
Which side we are on, I guess even the emperors of the two countries can’t tell!
Beicheng seems to be more complicated than that small county.
In addition to being sandwiched between the Yu Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, Beicheng also has a Xirong tribe!
There are wars every year, and ordinary people simply cannot survive.
The Yu and Qing dynasties simply regarded this place as a "designated unit" for exiled prisoners.
Most of the people in the city are immigrants.
As for the military households, they were all prisoners who were sentenced to military exile.
There are also many caravans and spies...
"Kuro, I don't recommend that you go to Beicheng! Although we have taken back Beichang now, the people in the city are complicated and the enemy and ourselves are in chaos."
General Huo found that when he pointed at Beicheng, the Ninth Prince's calm and handsome face finally had some fluctuations.
He knew that this person was moved!
In fact, if it were General Huo himself who needed to choose a "base camp" on the northwest front, he would also choose Xizhou.
chaos?
Ha, chaos is the best!
Only when you are in chaos can you have the opportunity to practice!
Training troops, training troops, focus on the word "training".
If you go to Beicheng, you can have a close encounter with Xirong, and you can also watch the soldiers and horses of the Yu Dynasty at close range.
Under the attack of two forces, soldiers can be trained the fastest!
The Ninth Prince came to Xizhou to make achievements.
With soldiers, it is possible!
Yes, General Huo saw the ambition of the Ninth Prince. He judged others by himself, thinking that between training his own troops and dividing the Huo family's army, the Ninth Prince would choose the former.
Although he guessed it, General Huo did not show it.
He continued to follow the procedure, first persuading, "Kiuro, or can you choose one in the border town near Xizhou?"
"Besides, do you still have enough men and horses? Can I allocate some manpower to you, please?"
General Huo asked tentatively while looking at Gu Qingcheng's expression.
"Thank you, father-in-law, but we don't need the soldiers!"
Gu Qingcheng said that she was not here to mix things up and divide the Huo family army.
Are you kidding, the Huo family has no objections, so his soldiers and horses are the armed forces of the Qing Dynasty.
When the Qing Dynasty had not yet unified the world, what kind of internal fighting was going on?
Unanimity is the way to go!
Furthermore, Gu Qingcheng did not want soldiers trained by others.
She has her own pride and her own persistence!
"besides--"
A slender white finger from deep inside Gu Qingcheng pressed directly on Beicheng's position, "I want to go here!"
General Huo's eyes flashed with appreciation.
However, he still tried to persuade him as if following procedure, "Jiuro, Beicheng is indeed not safe.
——"
"Father-in-law, please stop trying to persuade me! I came to Xizhou to make achievements, not to enjoy happiness."
Gu Qingcheng raised her head and said with a smile, "I still have a punishment on me, I need to make up for it!"
She seemed joking, but her attitude was firm.
General Huo acted like, "Since you are like this, I can't persuade you any more." "Okay! Then you go to Xizhou!"
"By the way, do you still have enough food, grass and weapons?"
"Plenty!" Gu Qingcheng nodded, the corners of his mouth rising even further, "If there is a shortage, then go grab it!"
General Huo was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that a noble man like the Ninth Prince could actually say such outrageous words.
But, haha, he really has an appetite for him.
That's right, there is actually no clear boundary between soldiers and bandits.
If there is a shortage of ordnance or food and wages, then go grab it.
Suppress bandits!
Grab the opposite one!
There is no such saying these days as "a cannon fires a thousand taels of gold", but the principles are the same.
Fighting is the most profitable.
The Huo family has been entrenched in the northwest for decades. Not only has it accumulated a huge fortune, but it can also pay for itself when the court fails to allocate food and grass in time, relying on the word "grab".
In General Huo's opinion, if the Ninth Prince could say the word "rob", he would have half succeeded in the northwest.
The remaining half is to see how he trains his troops and how to "rob"!
Gu Qingcheng: ...hehe, of course I will sit in the rear and let your precious daughter charge into the battle.
This is, ahem, a bit embarrassing. You can't say it in front of your own father.
General Huo didn't know Gu Qingcheng's plan. Well, even if he knew, he wouldn't be able to stop it.
My daughter has a strong nature. In the past, she had no chance, so she had to suppress her nature and become a "lady".
Now that the Ninth Prince has given her a chance, Huo Wuniang will not let it go!
It’s useless even if my own father tries to stop me!
After reaching a "consensus" with General Huo, Gu Qingcheng began to prepare.
She was waiting for news from Beijing.
In the battle of Tubao, the N generations were killed.
The news and the return of their ashes to the capital will surely cause shock.
The parents and relatives of the N generation know that people will die in war.
But they still feel that their children are noble people and are meant to be gilded.
Even if there is a war, there is no need to be at the front.
The limit they can accept is for the children to get hurt.
Killed in action?
unacceptable!
Especially the little girl's family, they can agree to let their daughter become a female soldier, mainly because they feel that there is no danger and they can gain military exploits.
As a result, the bloody reality was before them. How could they not be afraid or flinch?
Even the young man's parents and elders, no matter how much they hope that their son will succeed, they don't want their children to sacrifice their lives for it.
mourning and glory after death?
Life is gone, no matter how glorious it is, it’s useless!
In fact, not only the elders, but also N-generation himself saw his friends dead or injured with his own eyes, and his soul was also shocked.
The word "give up" doesn't seem so difficult to say.
There are more than twenty N generations of the Gilded Group, and by the end, there may not be many left.
