The morning in the mountains was a bit chilly, and Guan Cheng had never felt so relaxed and comfortable. He couldn't help but tighten the quilt tightly around him. The fragrance coming from the tip of his nose was simply intoxicating, and it was really similar to the smell of Ling'er.
Guan Cheng suddenly opened his eyes and was shocked. The place he saw was clearly the girl's boudoir. He couldn't help but touch the side but found nothing.
Damn it, where's Gu's sword?
With a creak, the wooden door opened, letting in a bright light. Guan Cheng took a closer look and breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It turns out to be Miss Tan'er."
It's just that Xiaotan's face is very ugly, his eyes are red and swollen, and his clothes are a little messy. No matter how worried he is about his subordinates, could it be that his subordinates have done something shameful? He shook his head randomly and violently. It's absolutely impossible. If that's the case with those in the courtyard. Tiger Leopard could tear apart a dozen of his people.
"Miss Xiao Tan, this is..." Guan Cheng felt an indescribable pain in his chest for some reason, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
When Guan Cheng looked into the girl's eyes, he felt that she was extremely unfamiliar. His heart went numb as he was being stared at. The complex emotions in her eyes were emotions that he could not understand. Tears were rolling but he stubbornly refused to shed them.
Guan Cheng felt that his heart felt even worse.
"Where is Miss Xiao Tan, Zhang Shuai?"
As soon as Guan Cheng finished speaking, Xiao Tan burst into tears. After all, he still couldn't control himself, but he didn't forget to throw the wooden box in his hand towards Guan Cheng, along with a roll of bamboo slips.
Guan Cheng was determined to chase him out, but after a hangover, his head hurt and he was suddenly hit by a bamboo slip, which made him a little confused.
"In today's era of great chaos, the imperial power is declining without any improvement, and the princes are fighting together. The government decrees can only pass through the land of one county and eight counties out of five thousand counties. How sad!"
"Although the Tongshi is in decline, there is still a chance of victory in the chaos. Even if there is a slim trillion, there is still a rebirth from the fire. Your Highness's courage, wisdom, forbearance and decisiveness are the key to this crisis. I speculate that there are dozens of secrets. Years later, I’m so lucky to finally meet someone I can trust!”
"His Royal Highness went to the southwest this time for the sake of East Mountain. The difficulties and dangers are self-evident, but if you keep in mind the key points, you can still sit back and watch the world, and then you will be successful."
"The remnants of the whole house are of great righteousness, and are known to all the world for their fame and wealth. Your Highness must have a token around you, and you should use this to build a good relationship with your surroundings. When you come back after all the gold is gone, Your Highness should know the deep meaning of it. There are nine out of hundreds of counties in Southern Chu. Hundreds of counties can serve as backup, and should not be provoked until extreme danger."
"Whatever Zhongli wants from Huoyang, Tonggu, Shuyang, and Xiangjun, Your Highness will definitely antagonize them when he goes there. You must not take any chances and think they can coexist. You should make an alliance with Shu and the Song Dynasty to take advantage of the Chu affairs." This opportunity can break the military's foundation in one fell swoop."
"There are many gentry and nobles in the four counties who are loyal to Zhongli. Your Highness must not be benevolent and righteous, otherwise there will be disaster. It is not easy to repair, but it is also a good strategy to break it and then build it up. Your Highness should have a safe place to stay when traveling around the world, so be careful. Be careful and don’t ignore it.”
"Since ancient times, the people's support has been relied upon by the world. The people's support is not the gentry, but the people of Guizhou. What Your Highness has done before is really a great good. If the people's support is supported by Your Highness, even if it declines a hundred times, there is hope of repeating it."
"However, the head of Guizhou has nothing more to worry about than the acres of land. The land should be equalized for the people, and the land that the gentry desires should also be acres. Your Highness should use decisive force to win over the people of the four counties, eliminate the world's powerful and powerful, and win the hearts of all the people. This road is long, If Your Highness does this, all the gentry in the world will become mortal enemies, and the princes will also think of each other in disdain."
Guan Cheng held the bamboo slip tightly with both hands, trembling slightly. Although the writing was a bit messy, Guan Cheng seemed to be able to see the huge power contained in it.
Guan Cheng, who was filled with turmoil in his heart, had already forgotten all other things. There was a scroll of bamboo slips with the fragrance of ink remaining on it. Guan Cheng read the five hundred words over and over again, pacing back and forth in the room, and occasionally seemed to I couldn't help but clap my hands when I thought of something.
From sunrise to noon, until Yu Fa and others woke up and practiced briefly, Guan Chengfang put down the bamboo slips with unsatisfied feelings.
The map of the four southwest counties appeared in his mind. It could be said that every state, every county in Chase was in his mind.
The terrain in the southwest is difficult to defend and difficult to attack. It is also rich in products and can be completely self-sufficient. Although the population is not as high as that of Gyeonggi, it is by no means comparable to places in the northwest and southeast. This is one of the reasons why Guan Cheng regards it as his last hope.
With a squeaking sound, a fragrant wind drifted in. Guan Cheng looked up, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Today, Xiao Tan had put on an apricot short dress, which was even more eye-catching.
"Miss Xiao Tan, the things on this bamboo slip are really words of great power. Where is Mr. Zhang Shuai? I must ask him in person."
Xiaotan's red and swollen eyes suddenly filled with tears. At this time, Guan Cheng finally noticed something was wrong, and quickly stepped forward and asked: "Miss Xiaotan, what happened?"
Guan Cheng's face instantly turned pale, and his original joy was instantly replaced by disbelief.
Listen carefully to the sound of wailing coming from the courtyard from time to time, which is pitiful and low.
No matter what, Guan Cheng couldn't believe that the people who were drinking and discussing Taoism together yesterday had an accident just because they were drunk.
"Zhang Shuai... Zhang Shuai, old man... how is he doing?"
A sentence only contains more than ten words, but Guan Cheng feels that it is extremely important.
"Grandpa, the deadline has come, Yuhuaxian has gone!" Xiao Tan felt a little relieved after sobbing and saying this.
From her very young memory, she saw a snow-white silhouette standing on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance and expecting, and now her wish can be considered fulfilled.
"When grandpa left, he said that he was waiting for you. He can't save the world, but you can. He also wrote the volume just now, and there are others that he said he could give to you later."
Guan Cheng fell on the bed with tears in his eyes.
Chase's God of War is completely gone.
There are still faint traces on the bamboo slips in his hands. Guan Cheng is like a child who has been wandering for a long time and suddenly encounters a big tree but suddenly loses it.
"Don't do this. You are the prince of Datong. You can't do this. Grandpa said, he will watch." Xiao Tan looked at Guan Cheng in pain and didn't know how to comfort him.
"If you feel uncomfortable, go and offer incense to your grandfather first. No matter what, he is Xiaotan's grandfather and my hero in Datong."
When Guan Cheng heard this, he raised his head and said repeatedly: "It should be done. I will go and change into plain clothes. Zhang Shuai will give me good advice, and I will send you off as a disciple."
"Miss Xiaotan is busy."
Guan Cheng, who walked out of the room, was completely shocked again.
Countless forest beasts lay their heads on the ground wherever they came into view, occasionally whimpering in a low voice, which made people feel pain in their hearts.
"I guess Zhang Shuai is really like a god here."
The originally ferocious tiger and leopard also lost the momentum of Xiaoding Mountain Forest, drooping like a big cat.
Yu Fa and others had already wrapped themselves in white mourning cloth and bowed their heads in memory.
A funeral in the mountains where no one came was exceptionally grand.
Guan Chengdang first knelt in front of Zhang Yuanbai's spiritual throne. The Human Emperor's Drunk in his hand was like a thin thread dripping across the ground, exuding a seductive smell.
There is no sorrow or joy in the army, so everyone can only keep quiet. Everyone's mood gradually sinks as they kowtow again and again.
Yu Fa, who acted as the temporary master of ceremonies, couldn't help but burst into tears. His ancestors started out as the personal bodyguards of General Tiance. Even now, General Tiance is still the chief in the Yu family's ancestral hall. Every generation of the Yu family Who can't worship my son and whom I don't yearn for?
After the simple ceremony was completed, Guan Cheng stood up and faced his only remaining subordinates with mixed feelings in his heart.
"My brothers Paoze!" Guan Cheng roared, his eyes a little swollen, but he had never been so calm as at this moment.
"Everyone here, including Gu Wu, has taken Zhang Shuai as an example. From the first day you joined the army, you have heard about how glorious and brave Zhang Shuai was, how he drank horses from the Tianshan Mountains. Everyone will lament that this is what a man should be."
"But the God of War of Datong has completely disappeared now, right in front of our eyes. Do some people feel that their faith has collapsed?"
"Do you think that even if the God of War falls, what does it matter to you?"
Guan Cheng's eyes were filled with sharp eyes as he scanned the somewhat bewildered subordinates below.
Guan Cheng paused and said: "I know, you traveled thousands of miles to follow me to the fiefdom. In this short time, you have experienced several fierce battles and even life-and-death battles. When we left the capital, I was waiting for more than 4,000 people. , so far, some have died in battle, some have disappeared, some have been scattered, and we don’t even have twenty people here.”
"I don't know if you are still willing to continue westward with me under such circumstances. I don't know how much of the fighting spirit you have when you left the capital is left here and now."
"Zhang Shuai is telling the truth here, and I am surprised and happy. The God of War in Datong looks up to him, and every warrior in Datong doesn't leave a place for King Wu Dao in his heart."
"Human beings are full of breath, so-called vitality, but now this breath is gone and gone! What should I do?"
Guan Cheng walked among his soldiers, stared at Yu Fa with a still immature face, and asked sternly: "Are you going to just sink and give up?"
"King Wu Daotian, the former God of War. However, on the way out of Yong'an and Gyeonggi, we fought against three armies of the Jin Kingdom. We defeated more than 20,000 people and killed more than 7,000 enemy leaders."
"The Kingdom of Jin is known as the little overlord of Jingfu, and all its soldiers are elites from hundreds of battles. However, our soldiers were less than one-tenth of the number, but we still won."
“And it’s a winning streak!”
Guan Cheng's speaking speed also increased when he said this, and his voice gradually aroused the look in the eyes of the soldiers like magic.
"With an absolutely weak force, we defeated several times the enemy one after another. I would like to ask all of you, is this victory brought to you by King Wu Yao?"
Guan Cheng glanced at Xiao Tan next to him, feeling bitter in his heart. He didn't want to say this and didn't want to say these words, but Zhang Yuanbai's status in the hearts of all the soldiers was simply above the clouds.
The characters in the legend who had only appeared in their ears suddenly appeared in front of their eyes and disappeared so suddenly, as if something was broken in the hearts of the soldiers.
Even one soldier is the most precious asset to Guan Cheng, but the victorious army he wants must not be influenced by anyone except himself.
From a very young age, Guan Cheng understood that only military power was safe in his own hands. If there were still hundreds of thousands of elites in Yong'an City, how could the world be in such a state of fragmentation? How could Emperor Datong's imperial edict be issued? Gyeonggi is like farting.
"My brothers, raise your heads! Answer me loudly! Did King Wu Gao bring all the victories to you?"
The blood stains on the armor exuded the smell of bravery in the breeze. The fearless soldiers raised their heads and their eyes gradually became firmer, screaming with all their strength.
"no!!!"
