Chapter 132:

"Xiao Jiu."
Gu Zezhi gently called Qin Jiu's name, and the hot breath sprayed between her lips and teeth.
She responded in a low voice, her voice soft and moving.
"After the King Yu's affairs, I will take you to Jiangnan to play, okay?" Gu Zezhi pressed her lips. He remembered that she had said that she wanted to go to Jiangnan.
Qin Jiu was out of breath by his kiss, and his mind became a mess. He didn't know what he said, and only blindly responded.
Another night breeze blew in from the window suddenly, the candle in the lampshade was blown out, and the room suddenly became dark, and countless stars in the night sky outside looked down below.
"Bang! Bang!"
The sound of the gong from the second watch was heard in the distance, which seemed particularly loud this night.
The main hall of the Royal Yu Mansion is now brightly lit.
Wang Yu has received the letter from Xijiang.
Along with Xin, there is a middle-aged man with a blue and straight sturdy body. He has a capable body and a good eye. He is a martial artist at first glance.
"The prince, the villain Wang Shiyue is the prince's person, and the prince let the villain stay in Yuzhou to wait for the prince's instructions." The middle-aged man held his fist at the head of the king Yu.
Wang Yu read the letter from Fang Yuande in his hand with a glance and ten lines.
According to what Fang Yuande said in his heart, Gu Chenzhi, the prince's son, left him in Luo'an City. On the other hand, Gu Chenzhi also sent this Wang Shiyue. If Gu Chenzhi has anything, he will be conveyed by Wang Shi more and more.
Wang Shi said calmly and calmly: "The prince, the elder son has something to tell the prince, this matter is of great importance, the elder son is worried that it is not safe to write in the letter, so the villain tells the prince himself."
Wang Yu said concisely: "But I heard the details."
Wang Shiyue said again: "The imperial court has improved a new type of bow, which greatly improves the range and accuracy of the bow. Moreover, it allows an ordinary soldier to easily pull a three-stone bow. With a little training, he can rely on it. This new type of bow has cultivated a team of elite archers, all of whom are capable of Li Guangzhi."
"After more than a year of repeated improvements, the imperial court has now undergone a large number of restructuring, and can provide tens of thousands of soldiers. By then, it will be able to increase its combat power several times."
Yu Wang: "!!!"
Wang Yu's eyes opened wide, shocked at first, and then he frowned suspiciously. How could there be such a magic weapon!
"I don't know where Gu Shizi got the news?" Wang Yu asked tentatively, and anyone could hear his power against this new type of bow.
Wang Shiyue obviously also knew Wang Yu’s doubts, smiled slightly, and said: "The son of the world asks the villain to show this thing to the prince, and the prince will know it naturally."
While he was talking, the entourage beside him took out a rectangular wooden box and opened the lid in front of King Yu. Inside the box was a strangely shaped black big bow.
Wang Shiyue personally took out the black bow in the box and presented it to the king of Yu.
The king of Yu grabbed the black bow in his hand and padd it at will. Although he felt that the look of this bow looked a little special, slightly different from the ordinary longbow, he still did not believe that this so-called new bow would have an opponent. Said such a great power.
Wang Shiyue said with a smile, "Wang Ye can try."
Someone took a feather arrow from the wooden box and handed it to King Yu. King Yu is a warrior who draws a bow and shoots an arrow. His movements are extremely skillful and steady.
The insider looked at the doorway, and when he easily opened the black bow that looked at the three stones, a touch of surprise passed in his eyes.
He loosened the bowstring, and the feather arrow immediately "swizzled" out of the string, as fast as electricity, and a sharp wind blew up where the feather arrow passed.
The Yu Wang Shizi in the hall were all slightly moved. They were also martial artists, and naturally they could see that this arrow was unusual.
In the next instant, the feather arrow hit a sycamore tree in the courtyard, and also shot through the trunk of the tree. The trunk of the entire tree vibrated violently.
"Rainy..."
Countless leaves fell like rain, sprinkling leaves all over the ground.
Wang Yu looked at the shining phoenix tree in the front courtyard, completely startled.
Just as Wang Shiyue said, the power of this bow is at least twice that of common bows, faster, stronger, and more stable.
Wang Yu asked eagerly: "Where did this bow come from?"
Wang Shiyue smiled apologetically, "Master, this is what my elder son managed to get from the capital... how to get it, I am sorry for the inconvenience of the villain."
When the other party said so, Wang Yu believed it instead.
Since this new type of bow is a newly improved weapon of the imperial court, the emperor is bound to take it very seriously.
The son of Duan, Gu Chenzhi, is ambitious and he is very afraid of his brother Gu Zezhi. I am afraid that Gu Zezhi will stay in the capital, and he will not be able to fully comfort Gu Chenzhi's heart. He is afraid that he will also put his hands in the capital.
If Wang Shiyue told the origin of this bow, it would definitely expose Gu Chenzhi's eyeliner in the capital.
With Gu Chenzhi's caution, it is impossible for him to send all his hole cards to the Prince Yu's hands, otherwise he would not hold Fang Yuande in Luo'an City.
Wang Shiyue continued: "My lord, now the court is producing this new type of bow in large quantities. What my son is worried about is that if the court let the whole army... no, even if it is not the whole army, let 30% of the soldiers be equipped with this bow, Lord Do you think you have any chance of winning?"
Wang Yu: "..."
Wang Yu was silent, and Wang Yu's son also changed his face.
The power of this new type of bow surprised their father and son.
Now there is only one bow here. If a battalion is equipped with this new type of bow, then the combat power of this battalion will be like a of heavenly soldiers, each with one enemy and ten powers. By then, Yuzhou still has a chance of winning. ? !
At that time, the court's arrows can hit them, but they can't hurt each other. This is extremely detrimental to the Yuzhou army!
Just thinking about it, Wang Yu’s heart fell sharply, like falling into an ice cellar.
Wang Shiyue saw that the fire was almost the same and stopped talking.
"Father..." Wang Yu's son looked at Wang Yu hesitantly, with an anxious expression on his face.
The king of Yu's face was sinking like water, and his heart was surging and fluctuating.
He has been preparing for this battle for a full ten years, and it is absolutely impossible to ask the emperor for mercy.
Too many things have happened in the past few months. The emperor has tried his best to portray him as a chaser and thief. Everyone in the world is despising him and spurning him!
To put it harshly, even if he asks for mercy, the emperor will not let him go.
The emperor has long been unable to tolerate him, even if he did not take the initiative to attack and waited for the emperor to have everything ready, he would attack him and Yuzhou. He originally wanted to act first, but it was a pity that he made a mistake, and he made a mistake!
Now that it is too late to regret, regret is useless!
For the present plan, only Yuzhou raised its troops first, seized the opportunity, and took advantage of this new bow before it was allocated to the imperial army, marched quickly and quickly captured the capital.
Their troops in Yuzhou are strong and strong, with sufficient weapons, food, and grass. They are an elite division. But the court has been fighting year after year, the soldiers are weak and the horse is weak, and the treasury is empty. A hundred holes.
In this case, even if the current preparations are not sufficient, he is confident that he will not lose to the court.
Wang Yu's thin lips pressed tightly, a sharp light flashed under his eyes, and a decision was already made in his heart.
Even if Wang Yu didn't say anything, Wang Shiyue had already seen the clues from the subtle changes in his expression, his face was calm, but his heart was sighing with emotion: San Ye sees people's hearts truly! King Yu has taken the bait!
The king of Yu quickly dismissed the people on the grounds that Wang Shiyue was tired all the way, and then he called some important officials from Yuzhou to the palace of the king of Yu overnight.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The night is deep in the third watch, but the Royal Palace of Yu is as lively as the day.
The officials present also knew that King Yu suddenly summoned them must be a matter of urgency, but when King Yu announced that he would "raise troops in advance," everyone was still surprised.
Everyone looked at each other. According to the original plan, Yuzhou should raise troops in three months.
This is too hasty.
Some officials immediately objected: "The prince, rush to raise troops, no matter whether it is food or food, they are not fully prepared yet, I am afraid it is unstable."
"Yes, prince, this matter is very important. This battle can only be won but not lost, and there must be no mistakes."
"..."
The echoing voices around him all persuaded King Yu not to be impulsive.
In response to these objections, the king of Yu had been prepared for a long time, so that the first son of the king of Yu directly took out the new bow and personally demonstrated the power of this bow.
The whole hall was silent, dumbfounded.
The king of Yu was not surprised, and said loudly: "The court is preparing a large number of bows. Waiting for March will give the court time to prepare. By then, Yuzhou will definitely be at a disadvantage."
The officials are still immersed in the powerful power of the new bow, and no one can refute it.
Immediately afterwards, King Yu issued a series of commands:
"Shizi, you personally give this bow to Xu Heng, and let him arrange for craftsmen to study this bow as soon as possible."
"The 200,000 army of Yuzhou Guards is on standby. Three days later, they will send troops northward with the king."
On the fourth day of April, the king of Yu sent troops to the northern expedition under the slogan "Exclude the treacherous nephews and the clear side of the emperor". In just ten days, he captured a city with great momentum.
The battle report also spread to Xijiang.
Previously, Gu Zezhi and King Duan had asserted that King Yu would raise troops within a month. King Duan was actually skeptical. According to him, the current situation is far from the best time for King Yu to raise troops.
Unexpectedly, this was what Zezhi said!
Although it was a good thing for the imperial court that King Yu rushed to raise troops, King Duan couldn't help but complain that King Yu was too impatient: "Even the timing is unclear, and King Yu wants to rebel!"
"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, stupid!"
"It seems that this king overestimates King Yu!"
Gu Zezhi listened with a smile as Duan Wang mocked Yu Wang, sipping tea leisurely, noncommittal.
King Duan looked at Gu Zezhi's appearance of honor and disgrace, and his heart became more satisfied, and the front of the conversation changed: "It is not yet the time for our Xijiang Army to dispatch."
"Father is right." Gu Zezhi nodded.
However, unlike Duan Wang, Duan Wang thought about timing, while Gu Zezhi thought about Gu Chenzhi.
At this time, the salute of the soldiers came from outside the camp: "Sir."
The king of Duan was holding up the tea cup, frowned slightly, showing his disapproval.
According to him, the son is weak and should rest and run to the barracks.
In the next instant, the curtain of the camp was raised from the outside. Gu Chenzhi, wearing a black cloak, walked into the central tent from the outside and looked at King Duan and Duan who were sitting next to a large red lacquered wooden case. Gu Zezhi, a map is impressively spread over the big case.
A gloomy light flashed across Gu Chenzhi's eyes, and then he smiled casually, looking at his usual expression.
Gu Zezhi noticed the abnormality of Gu Chenzhi at that moment, and the corner of his lips twitched behind the tea cup, but King Duan did not notice at all.
"Father." Gu Chenzhi gave a gift to King Duan and smiled at Gu Zezhi again, "third brother."
His words, deeds, and demeanor are gentle, because he has been weak and sick recently, and has become more pale and sick.
King Duan hurriedly greeted Gu Chenzhi to sit down and said unsuspectingly: "Chenzhi, this king has received the military report, and the king of Yu has risen up. Now he has captured Hexu City on the border between Jizhou and Yuzhou."
Duan Wang looked at Gu Chenzhi lovingly. In his heart, Yu Gong, the eldest son was the eldest son of Duan Wang's Mansion; Yu Shi, he was also a good brother of the younger brothers. Youzi is so, and he is always comforted, and now he only hopes that the eldest son and third son can clear up the past and the princess can return.
Gu Chenzhi: "..."
Gu Chenzhi opened his eyes slightly, and almost exhausted all of his energy, before he lost his temper.
He has been ill for so many days, the king of Yu has actually raised his army, and has easily taken a city!
After being surprised, he sighed like this: Wang Yu and Yuzhouwei really had the strength and strength of a broken bamboo. Also, Wang Yu had been preparing for more than ten years, and it was not for nothing.
Wang Yu would choose this time to start because everything is ready.
Therefore, his actions must be fast.
He must win the military power of Xijiang as soon as possible!
Gu Chenzhi's eyes flickered, and he picked up the tea cup that Xiaosi had just delivered, and looked down at the floating tea in the tea cup, his pupils were extremely complicated.
After spending several days, he finally discovered that the poison of Chifengcao had been placed in the sachet he was wearing. There was Jiuhe incense inside, but the smell of Jiuhe incense was overwhelmed by other incense.
This discovery completely dispelled the last trace of luck in his heart.
Gu Ze only came back last month. Last year, the only person who could bring Jiuhexiang back to Luoan City from Beijing was the father!
After all, his filial piety to his father was wrong.
Fortunately, he was destined to be destined by God, and he accidentally met the old doctor, only to know that he was poisoned by the Chifeng Grass.
He has not been poisoned for a long time, and he is young, and now the source of the poison has been found. Since even the Xiao family is safe and sound, he believes that as long as he takes good care of him, he will be better.
He will never die!
Finding the source of the poison made Gu Chenzhi relieved and improved. Therefore, he came to the barracks deliberately. On the one hand, he wanted to inquire about the news from King Duan and Gu Zezhi. On the other hand, he also wanted to let the military When everyone saw that his body was not in serious trouble, they calmed the army to prevent him from showing up all the time, and the army's hearts were chaotic, which gave Gu Zezhi the opportunity to buy people's hearts.
Now that I saw Gu Zezhi sitting in his place on weekdays and discussing military affairs with King Duan, Gu Chenzhi was calm and determined.
They want him to die, how could it be so easy, he is not dead, they should die!
After he figured it out, Gu Chenzhi's mood became more calm, a kind of detachment to see through the cold and warm world.
This world is like this, in the face of power and interests, there is no family relationship between father and son.
Man is not for himself.
He would let Gu Zezhi taste bitter and unable to say what it means to be reasonable!
He will make Father and Gu Zezhi both pay for it.
Gu Chenzhi sneered in his heart, but frowned slightly on his face, and asked worriedly: "Father, can the court be prepared? Jizhou is too close to the capital..."
"Xijiang, what is your father's plan?"
Seeing the eldest son frowned, King Duan didn't tell him his plans for fear that he would think too much. He just said: "Chenzhi, you are still ill. The most important thing now is to get a good rest and get a good body."
"There is this king and Zezhi in the army!"
Gu Chenzhi was stabbed fiercely by King Duan's last words, and it was difficult to breathe for an instant.
Gu Chenzhi said nonchalantly: "Father, I have been lying in the house for a long time these days, and I feel so bored that I want to walk around."
King Duan was still uneasy. He felt that Gu Chen was working hard, and he was probably perfunctory, and said: "If you are bored, go to the middle of the city to swim in the lake and listen to the drama. Why come to the barracks!"
He heard this in Gu Chenzhi's ears with another meaning.
Obviously, the father did not want him to interfere in the military affairs of Xijiang, he wanted to strip him out of the army little by little.
This pair of father and son looked like a filial and happy father and son, but in fact, the father was kind, and this son had hidden murderous intentions.
King Duan didn't notice it, he kept persuading Gu Chen to talk about it again and again, and to talk about it, it was the same old story. Gu Chenzhi was respectful on the surface, but hatred in his heart.
Gu Zezhi saw the turbulent undercurrent between father and son in his eyes, without even raising his eyebrows.
Gu Zezhi calmly tasted the tea. This is Longjing before the Ming Dynasty this year. The buds and leaves are bright green, the taste is sweet and mellow. The warm and soft tea comes from his throat to his abdomen, which makes him calm and calm. Not a trace of ripples.
Since childhood, King Duan told him over and over again that the eldest son in the mansion was Gu Chenzhi, so he should not think about what he shouldn't.
Gu Zezhi is not interested in this princely position, but he wants to let King Duan see with his own eyes whether the son he favors is a man or a ghost.
Gu Zezhi smiled slightly, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
In the camp, King Duan’s insults echoed, Gu Chenzhi echoed a few sentences from time to time, only Gu Ze said nothing, as if there was no sense of existence.
However, Gu Chenzhi always couldn't help but look at Gu Zezhi secretly, and wondered in his heart whether his father was deliberately acting like Gu Zezhi coldly in front of him, just to confuse himself...
In the central tent, the father and son have different thoughts.
In the next few days, military newspapers from Yuzhou repeatedly came.
Under the slogan of Qing Jun, the army of Yuzhou recruited troops and bought horses. In just four or five days, they captured another city, but the people of Daqi did not eat this.
It has been more than four months since the third son of the king of Yu burned the Jiuqu Garden in the winter. During this period of time, the various ambitions and evil deeds of the palace of the king of Yu have been spread all over the country. The people all know about the palace of the king of Yu. Several major crimes:
For example, the king of Yu ordered his three sons to burn Jiuqu Garden, with the intention of letting Concubine Fang die in a suspended animation, and blaming the emperor to force Concubine Fang to die;
For example, the king of Yu wronged the emperor and detained the third son of the king of Yu and the princess Duanrou;
For example, the third son of the king of Yu had sexual with the concubine of the second prince, causing him to be pregnant with a sinful kind of eldest grandson of the emperor;
For another example, the king of Yu recruited troops and bought horses, and he brought his troops to the Northern Expedition, which caused the lives to be disgraced.
This pile, one by one, all proved one point, that the king of Yu was an anti-thief with unpredictable intentions!
After winning the two cities one after another, the army of King Yu was blocked in Shipeng City, Jizhou, and the army stopped.
Yuzhou Weisheng had a strong army and ample armor. More importantly, as everyone knows, Shipeng City is difficult to defend and easy to attack. However, the general defending the city is Yu Fuyun.
Yu Fuyun relied on his own strength and wisdom to frequently defend Shipeng City, which can be described as turning the tide.
The battle reports in the front were sent to Xijiang in two ways, one after another by flying pigeons and eight hundred miles.
In the barracks, there is a middle-aged soldier who is fervently reporting the situation in Jizhou to King Duan:
"Master, the army of the king of Yu attacked the city three times, but was caught off guard every time by Yu Fuyun. For the first time, Yu Fuyun ordered people to dig ditches outside the city wall and cover them with planks and weeds. As a result, the army of king Yu There was nowhere. The cavalry in front fell into the ditch, and the army behind couldn't stop, and they fell on their backs."
"The second time, Yu Fuyun shot through the head of General Feng Gongcheng under the command of King Yu, causing the military's spirit to float."
"For the third time, the army of King Yu tried to cut off the only water source in Shipeng City and trapped Yu Fuyun to death, but did not want to fall into Yu Fuyun's plan to adjust the tiger away from the mountain. His rear was empty, and instead let Yu Fuyun's people burn from behind. The food and grass of the army of the king of Yu."
"In the three battles, the king of Yu has not been pleased, and Shipeng City has finally been held. Now that the king of Yu has been frustrated, he is resting on the spot, and it makes people transfer grain, grass, and soldiers from Yuzhou."
Duan Wang rubbed his palm and applauded: "It is indeed Yu Fuyun. This Yu family is a general, and Yu Fuyun has been affected by his childhood, and that is a natural talent!"
The cities in southern Jizhou are difficult to defend and easy to attack. Originally, King Duan estimated that the army of the king of Henan would be like a broken bamboo, and it would be blocked at Fufeng City in Jizhou, relying on the natural terrain of Fufeng City to block the army of the king of Henan for a period of time .
He didn't expect that Wang Yu would be frustrated so quickly.
The king of Duan laughed endlessly and praised boldly: "I am afraid that only Yu Fuyun can turn the disadvantage into an advantage. By underestimating the enemy, the king of Yu can be lured into the urn."
"He is really a rare good general!"
As he said, King Duan sighed regretfully: "Unfortunately, the location of Shipeng City is really not good. The soldiers guarding the city are no more than 5,000. Yu Fuyun's ability to defend Shipeng City three times is a coincidence. This is already a miracle. Up."
"He shouldn't be able to hold it for long. Moreover, it doesn't make sense to defend it hard now."
Being able to hold for a few days is already Yu Fuyun's ability. Under normal circumstances, with the strength of King Yu's army, I am afraid that he will not be able to hold even a day.
Although Yu Fuyun was going to lead his troops to retreat after all, the victory of the three wars in Shipeng City was still of great significance. Yu Fuyun interrupted the momentum of King Yu's army. Originally, King Yu's army was full of energy, and the soldiers were also full of fighting spirit. Now that he was cut head-on suddenly, it was bound to hurt morale.
Duan Wang has always seen very thoroughly in the military.
"Father is right." Gu Zezhi agreed with a smile.
Gu Chenzhi was also there, and his expression seemed a little thoughtful.
"Ahem..."
Suddenly, he bowed his head slightly, put his fist on his lips, coughed a few times, and his body shook slightly.
The king of Duan became anxious when he saw it, and then advised Gu Chenzhi: "Chenzhi, this king has said you several times. You must take care of your body and not work hard. You should go back and rest quickly."
"Cough cough cough..."
Gu Chenzhi coughed several times again, the fist around his lips was clenched tightly, and a fierce murderous intent flashed across his eyes, but it disappeared in a flash, which was well concealed.
King Duan was worried about the eldest son's body and he didn't find it at all, but Gu Zezhi noticed Gu Chenzhi's abnormality and sighed in his heart.
After a while, Gu Chenzhi wiped the corners of his lips with a veil, raised his head to look at King Xiang Duan and Gu Zezhi, smiling gently and said: "Father, I can still hold it. My third brother hasn't entered the military camp in a few years. , I can help if I can."
"Also, the third brother will not be able to use it for a while after a long time."
Gu Chenzhi's words sounded very well, and to King Duan's ears, they felt extremely appropriate.
"Chenzhi, you have the heart." Duan Wang sighed, his eyes still full of worry when he looked at Gu Chenzhi.
These days, Gu Chenzhi came to the barracks every day. Seeing his face getting haggard and haggard, King Duan was very unwilling to give up, and Lilu persuaded him to go back to his house to rest, and he invited Doctor Xu to see him several times.
Duan Wang had a loving heart, but Gu Chenzhi had long ago prejudiced him, believing that he was hurting himself and was uneasy and kind.
Gu Chenzhi didn't want to quarrel with King Duan for the time being. He smiled on his pale face and said in a high-sounding voice: "Father, King Yu is at war with the court. The matter is very important. I really can't let it go."
In the eyes of King Duan, the eldest son has always done his utmost, and his heart is more comforting.
However, he still couldn't let go of him for a good rest.
Duan Wang was about to say something again. At this time, a young teenager hurried in, clasping his fists in a dignified expression: "The prince, in Jitong City, I found the movement of the King of Yu's army. There are about a thousand people on the other side."
There was a moment of silence in the big tent.
The corners of Gu Chenzhi's mouth curled slightly.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
I forgot to set the time, it was a little late... sorry.
