Vol 2 Chapter 952: In order to occupy the territory

Gu Ling returned to the house, drove off the people, and hugged Pei Man.
Pei Man saw that he was in a bad mood, and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong? Did you quarrel with Master Hou?"
Gu Ling shook his head, "We are going back to the capital."
Pei Man was stunned, a little overwhelmed, "Back to the capital? When? Have you figured it out?"
Gu Ling let go of Pei Man, sat in the study, bowed his head and said: "The Ministry of War will soon send a dispatch order, and then our family will return to the capital."
Pei Man was silent.
At this time, there was a sudden transfer order to transfer Gu Ling back to Beijing, which is not easy at first glance.
She was very nervous and at a loss, "Is the court going to attack the Northwest Army?"
"I don't know!" Gu Ling was very upset.
He has been in the army for more than ten or twenty years, and the Northwest Army is his home. He could only watch the imperial court dismember the Northwest Army and had nothing to do.
This kind of powerlessness made him feel exhausted.
What is he going to do?
What can I do to stay?
What can you do when you return to the capital?
He was not sure to persuade his sister and majesty to let go of the Northwest Army.
Military affairs will never change because of someone's will.
Pei Man hugged him, "Perhaps we are unreasonably worried, and things are not so nervous."
Gu Ling looked back at her, "I was drinking with my elder brother today, and his attitude is a little weird."
"What a weird way?"
"Can't tell."
Pei Man gritted his teeth, "I'll go to the eldest brother to ask."
Gu Ling took her hand, "Don't go! He won't reveal a word about military affairs."
"I don't ask about military affairs, I only ask about family affairs."
Pei Man had a firm attitude, broke free of Gu Ling's hand, drew on the horses, and rode out of the house.
In the northwest, Pei Man's riding skills are better than many men in the army.
She galloped towards the tavern.
When she arrived at the tavern, Pei Meng and Mr. Dou were coming out of the tavern.
The entire tavern was surrounded by Pei Meng's personal soldiers, and all individual visitors were driven away.
At the moment, the soldiers are gathering, ready to Pei Meng back to the barracks.
"Big Brother!"
Pei Man yelled and rushed to Pei Meng in an instant, looking at him condescendingly.
"Why is Xiao Man here? Why aren't you staying with Gu Ling at home."
"I have something to ask you."
She has a serious face, "Find another quiet place to speak, or just here?"
Pei Meng mounted his horse, "Follow me."
The two brothers and sisters, one behind the other, galloped towards the ranch.
Qibing and Mr. Dou followed far behind.
In the green pasture, cattle and sheep flocked.
Pei Man took the reins and looked at Pei Meng, "How many years has the eldest brother returned to the capital?"
"For more than ten years."
"Big brother still remember what his sister-in-law looked like? Do you remember what a little nephew and little niece looked like?"
Pei Meng looked back at Pei Man, "What do you want to say?"
Pei Man bit her lip, her eyes stubborn, "I don't understand military affairs, so I just ask my eldest brother, what should I do at home? What about mother and sister-in-law? Don't you and father care about them?"
Pei Meng's face was solemn, "Xiao Man, don't think about it?"
"Are you sure I'm thinking wildly? I don't understand military affairs, and it doesn't mean that other people don't understand. This year I received a dozen letters from my mother, sister, and even sister-in-law. You and father received a few letters. Letter from home?"
Pei Meng said blankly: "Two letters!"
"Two mere letters!" Pei Man sneered, "You and your father never thought about why?"
Pei Meng said vaguely: "Some things cannot be avoided."
"All excuses!"
"Then what do you want my father and me to do? Just grab it with your hands, do your heads fall?" Pei Meng was furious.
Pei Man cried silently, his eyes full of sadness, "Is there no way?"
Pei Meng took a deep breath, "There is still a chance."
Pei Man was so nervous that his breathing almost stopped.
She heard Pei Meng say: "I will your family back to Beijing, and will fight for that front line of change."
Pei Man covered his heart, "If you didn't get it, would you take your sister-in-law away?"
Pei Meng shook his head, "The family must stay in the capital."
This is the balance of the court.
For thousands of years, the dynasty has changed several times, but the defense against generals has never been slackened.
Pei Man cried, "You are so cruel!"
Pei Meng said, "They stay in the capital, and there is still a chance for them."
"Fart!" Pei Man was furious. "The imperial court will anger them, and they will be the first to die. What do you tell my sister and me to do? Do you want to watch your mother's family in a different place?"
"Collect the corpses for them so that they can be buried. Don't worry about the others." Pei Meng's voice was as cold as ice ball.
Pei Man criticized loudly, "How can you be so cruel and cruel?"
Pei Meng's eyes were firm, "As Pei's family, while enjoying the glory and wealth, we must also be prepared to rob the family and decapitate."
Pei Man trembled all over and chilled.
She asked weakly: "Could you please beg the queen's wife? Gu Pei and his family are relatives by marriage after all."
"This is a matter of the imperial court. You should not be mixed with any personal affair. Xiao Man, you should understand the truth. So when you return to the capital, don't mention Pei's house in front of the empress or the Northwest Army. This is for your good! To that point, you and Gu Wei must be fine."
"Can I just watch you have an accident?"
"I can, why can't you?"
Pei Meng's words were too cruel, like a knife that pierced Pei Man's heart, making her unhappy.
Pei Meng did not regret at all, "As Pei's family, we should have this consciousness."
Pei Man wiped away the tears, "Did you and my father deliberately force me to be a cruel woman?"
Pei Meng looked at the horizon, "If there is no heart, there will be no pain! Life will be easier. Besides, things may not go in the worst direction."
"Are you sure to seize the opportunity?" Pei Man asked eagerly.
Pei Meng smiled, "That depends on the conditions set by the emperor and empress."
If the court asks their father and son to give up their military power and return to the capital for retirement, it would be better to die in battle.
If the court tried to dismember the Northwest Army, it would be better to reverse it.
In the eyes of Pei Meng, there is no solution between the Northwest Army and the court.
He really couldn't think of any way for Queen Gu to solve this problem.
He is curious!
More is vigilance.
He is not as optimistic as Mr. Dou.
Pei Man knew it well, and it was meaningless to continue talking.
No one can convince anyone.
She wiped the corners of her eyes and asked, "When will we leave for the capital?"
Pei Meng said: "Don't worry! You pack your luggage slowly first, and you can send it back to Sanhe Express for large items that are not suitable for you. Sanhe Express is still very professional."
Pei Man asked again: "Father won't return to the capital?"
Pei Meng smiled and pointed to his feet, "This is my father's hometown, our home."
Luhou will never return to the capital in this life unless he dies!
Pei Man asked: "Aren't you worried about your mother?"
"Mother, I don't need to worry about you and me. She understands better than anyone else, and she thinks thoroughly."
Pei Man sneered, "You are really a good son of your mother."
Pei Meng seemed to have not heard the ridicule in the words, and said naturally: "She is proud of me, of course I am her good son."
"Cheerless! How can you say this?"
Pei Man hit the horse back to the city, she was almost suffocated!
Pei Meng watched her go away, expressionless.
Mr. Dou rode to Pei Meng's side, "Uncle, don't worry, there is still a chance to change."
"Mr. Dou is really full of confidence in the Queen Empress." Pei Meng sneered.
Mr. Dou Laluhou topped the pot, "Master Hou is also full of confidence about the uncle's entry into Beijing."
"Father was bewitched by you." Pei Meng was very dissatisfied.
Mr. Dou excitedly said, "Uncle is really not curious what the first line of life the queen mother is preparing?"
"Sooner or later we have to fight! Do you really think you can talk about any results?"
"The old man is full of expectations for the outcome of the conversation."
Old thief!
...
Pei Man returned home, threw himself into Gu Ling's arms, and cried loudly.
Gu Ling hugged her tightly, patted her on the back, and comforted her in a low voice.
Pei Man was tired of crying and fell asleep deeply.
Gu Ling stood by her side.
Three children, two children and one daughter, are all half-elder children.
Gu Ling comforted the children, "Mother is fine, only when Sha Sha lost her eyes would she cry."
"My mother, like my daughter, accidentally fascinated Sand?"
"Yes indeed!"
"I'm blowing to my mother."
"Mother is asleep and can't wake her up."
"The daughter is obedient and doesn't speak."
"Good boy."
Gu Ling picked up her daughter, feeling that she was still caring.
Pei Man slept for a while and did not wake up until the next morning.
She regained her spirit, healed her pain, and began to pack her bags, bid farewell to the deceased, and prepare for returning to the capital.
Half a month later, Gu Ling officially received an order from the Ministry of War to transfer him back to the capital.
Gu Ling was a little melancholy.
Take the time to say goodbye to the army Zhongpaoze, write down everyone's home address, and hope that there will be a chance to meet in the future.
Deng Cunli came to visit Gu Ling.
Gu Ling asked curiously, "Does Duke Deng plan to return to the capital with us?"
Deng Cunli shook his head, "Our family will continue to stay in the northwest, driving for the empress."
"This general asks a bit, the queen sent Deng Gonggong to the northwest, not just for business. What are you up to?"
Deng Cunli answered the wrong question, "Has the general noticed some changes in the city?"
Gu Ling nodded, "There are more wells, ditches are dug, and waterwheels are installed."
"Other than that?"
Gu Ling thought about it carefully, "It seems that there are more scholars."
"Exactly! Most of the scholars that General Gu saw on the street came from Shanhe Academy, and a few came from local academies."
"What are the students from Shanhe College doing in the Northwest?"
"Exploring terrain, drawing maps, finding water sources and mines, etc. There are many, many things to do."
Gu Yan was stunned, "Are these all operated in private by the academy, or are they authorized by the court?"
"Of course there is authorization from the court! Shanhe Academy does not do illegal things. After exploring the topography of the cities and villages in the northwest, these students will soon enter the prairie.
"They still want to enter the grassland? Are they not afraid of danger? Even if there is no Beirong and Xiliang, the grassland is still full of dangers. Wolves are infested, and without military guards, scholars will be difficult to move."
"Of course there will be military guards! The Metropolitan Government will send troops to guard the safety of the students."
"Why enter the grassland?"
"Naturally it is to occupy the territory!"
Gu Ling looked dazed.
