He probably never dreamed that Li Kui would make such a request.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.
The smile on Gongsun Yu's lips dropped, he looked at Li Kui expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Li, the selection of personnel for the 'Night Not Accepted' is extremely strict. I am only a small general flag, so it is difficult to meet this requirement.
"
There was a pause in the words.
Gongsun Yu simply changed his mind and said frankly: "If Brother Li has any evil intentions, I will give you my life so that I can go down and keep company with my brothers!"
"You don't need to be like this, I tell you the truth,
"I have a reason to kill the Wala Barbarian, and I can't wait for a moment. It just so happens that your appearance is my best opportunity at the moment!"
Li Kui lowered his head slightly and looked at the bonfire in concentration.
"..."
Gongsun Yu opened his lips slightly, looking at the fleeting sadness on Li Kui's face, he seemed to be thinking of something.
This year in Oara, the Jurchens contacted more than a dozen grassland tribes to carry out retaliatory plunder in Liaodong, causing a large number of civilian casualties. Could it be said...
Gongsun Yu thought for a while, then slightly cupped his hands toward the north, and said politely: "Actually, the saint has decided to launch the second Northern Expedition. You might as well join the army directly, and then you can avenge your family!"
"Do you think there will really be a second Northern Expedition this year?"
Li Kui glanced at Gongsun Yu.
"certainly!"
Gongsun Yu just blurted it out.
Just the next second, he seemed to think of something, and his brows furrowed quietly.
Seeing this, Li Kui sighed slightly, "Of course I believe in the saint's determination to make the Northern Expedition, but I'm afraid the princes in the court will not agree."
Gongsun Yu opened his lips slightly and wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
In fact, the Wara and other tribes really angered Zhu Di, and preparations for the Northern Expedition were vigorous. However, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and many ministers in the court tried their best to dissuade the Northern Expedition.
The reason is that there is no military force!
Beginning in 1400, the Ming Dynasty waged a continuous war for fifteen years, relying on steam technology to reduce dimensions and crush it, making the territory unprecedentedly majestic and unprecedented, and at the same time, Zhu Di's authority reached its peak.
!
However, behind the seemingly blooming flowers and burning oil, there are too many hidden dangers.
Many factors such as popular support, finances, food and grass, and local uprisings cannot be solved in five years of rest and recuperation. The idea of the prince's family is to wait for another two years, even one year...
It's just that Emperor Shenwu Zhu Di has a mysterious obsession with conquering Mobei personally, so the relationship between the two is now very tense!
There were even rumors of deposing the prince.
then.
Gongsun Yu sighed and said bluntly: "You are very powerful. You are right. This year's Northern Expedition is probably in doubt."
Because it is already November, the snow is falling continuously, and the temperature will get colder and colder. Even if we want to go north, we have to wait until next spring!
At the same time, he had to take a high look at Li Kui.
Although the incident between the saint and the prince caused a lot of commotion, Liaodong is remote, and few people know especially sensitive information like this.
"I have no other choice. Only you can help me now." Li Kui said in a deep voice.
How could Gongsun Yu not know Li Kui's thoughts now?
Although it is not possible to launch a large-scale war on the grassland now, due to the special nature of "no harvest at night", it is necessary to enter the grassland from time to time, so it is not difficult to kill the Wala barbarians.
He murmured and was about to say something.
at this time.
Li Kui stared at Gongsun Yu with burning eyes and said bluntly: "If you are willing to help me, the credit for destroying the Green Ghost's lair will be yours!
"I think after a little operation, it shouldn't be difficult to upgrade to 100 trial households."
Gongsun Yu suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Kui. After a long silence, he asked: "Did you kill all the dozens of green ghosts?"
"yes."
Li Kui affirmed.
He knew that this was the battle between selfish desires and public conscience, an unknown savior, and a series of benefits after promotion.
really……
After a while, Gongsun Yu clenched his fingers slowly and forcefully under the quilt, and said in a deep voice: "I can help you arrange your identity and stay there until the night, but we have a word first. If you do anything evil, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
success!
Li Kui raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said sincerely: "Thank you."
Gongsun Yu didn't reply, he just sighed inaudibly and got into bed to rest.
…
…
A few days later.
Liaodong Command Department, lobby.
It's snowing outside, but it's as warm as spring inside.
"The three armies have not moved, but food and grass go first.
"I want to know why there is a green ghost lair on the food and grass transportation route?"
In the hall, an old man wearing a unicorn official robe showed no anger or authority.
It was Hong Guangqi, the supreme leader of the Liaodong Command Department.
Next to him, there was a man in his early twenties, handsome and handsome, with his hands behind his back, showing his noble air.
"Back to the commander, I sent someone to investigate in detail. The lair of the group of green ghosts is hidden in the cliff. It coincides with the heavy snowfall for days..."
After collecting thousands of households overnight, they were sweating profusely and quickly handed over their hands and reported:
"In addition, I have re-examined the routes of many grain, grass and baggage trains to ensure that similar things will not happen again."
"I heard that the battle was so tragic that only one general banner survived?"
The man next to the old man suddenly spoke. He said with great interest: "He killed all the dozens of green ghosts by himself?"
"Yes, that man's name is Gongsun Yu."
Qianhu replied hurriedly.
He glanced secretly and couldn't help but wonder, who was the noble person next to Commander Hong?
His appearance is extraordinary, and the materials on his body are even more exquisite. He can interrupt Commander Hong at will, and he has an unfamiliar face...
At this time.
Commander Hong glanced at the man, thought for a moment, and asked, "Have all the compensation for the sacrifice been distributed?"
"Return to the commander, they have been dispatched."
"It's just this once, it won't happen again."
Commander Hong said in a deep voice: "Although nineteen people died this time, the commander-in-chief Gongsun Yu discovered that if the annihilation was successful, he could be promoted to a hundred households."
"yes!"
Qianhu's eyes flashed and he clasped his fists hard.
"Go down."
Follow the footsteps away.
The solemn atmosphere in the lobby suddenly relaxed a lot.
The man leaned lazily on the back of the chair, crossed his legs, leisurely picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. He closed his eyelids slightly, as if savoring the taste, and just commented: "Mr. Hong, this tea tastes a bit bad.
I'll order someone to send you something good later.
Hong Guangqi smiled and asked, "Why did you come here this time?"
"Don't you know why I came here?"
The man raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm too worried about things at home, so I just came out to hide."
When Hong Guangqi heard these words, he felt confident in his heart, and the corners of his pursed lips curled up into a smile: "So, thank you for your kindness, sir."
"The grassland barbarians are having a lot of fun lately. I think that Gongsun Yu seems to be pretty good, so... I will work under his command to see if he is really that outstanding!"
The man looked out the window, and a tamarisk tree covered with snow came into view, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Hong Guangqi tapped the armrest with his fingertips and said with a smile: "Then just follow what the young master said!"
