It’s really no wonder that Chen Duan is narcissistic.
With someone like him and at his level, it would be difficult to impress him with ordinary small favors.
Horseshoes are different.
Is that an artifact?
As the most powerful general under the new emperor's command, Chen Duan not only helped the new emperor to conquer the country, but also fought on the battlefield for the new emperor.
Chen Duan had many encounters with the Northern Dynasty's cavalry.
The people of the Northern Dynasties were good at riding and shooting, their men and horses were sturdy, and their cavalry came and went without a trace.
In recent years, the cavalry has become "iron cavalry" and has become more and more brave.
Especially the number of war horses is increasing month by month.
Sometimes, Chen Duan and other Southern Dynasty generals were wondering: Where did they get so many horses?
Well, even if there were grasslands in the Northern Dynasties, there were plenty of horse farms.
However, the gestation, growth, and training of horses all take time.
Are there any normal wear and tear on the war horses?
According to the past experience of Chen Duan and others, whether the quantity or quality of the war horses in the Northern Dynasties was abnormal.
The caravan (secret agent) sent by Bu Fu to the Northern Dynasties returned news that the war horses of the Northern Dynasties were equipped with an artifact called "horseshoe".
Such artifacts can greatly reduce the damage of war horses.
It can greatly increase the combat effectiveness of the war horse!
Well, if you wear "leather boots", you can be more bold.
"horseshoe?"
Just hearing its name, but not seeing any specific items, Chen Duan and other generals had no idea at all.
Horseshoes really don't have much technical content. They are like a layer of window paper that will break when you poke it.
But the question is, Chen Duan and others are the only ones who give him a gentle poke.
Ruming, Gu Qingcheng personally delivered the horseshoe to him without Chen Duan moving his legs.
How could Chen Duan not be moved?
How can I not think too much?
"Aqing, I, I -"
Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, Chen Duan's heart, which had long been tempered by battlefields and power, was as cold as steel, and was actually touched.
Perhaps, the higher your position and the more hard-hearted you are, the less likely you are to be moved. Once you are moved, it will be particularly profound.
"My lord, I heard that you were sent by the saint to Jiangling to defend against the enemy?"
But Gu Qingcheng didn't seem to see Chen Duan being moved. Her beautiful eyes were clear and her face was full of sincerity.
She is like an infatuated woman who has her own "fiancé" in her heart.
She cares about him, and she works hard and plans for him.
Knowing that his "fiancé" had been sent to fight along the river by the Emperor Jiankang, and hoping that he would be safe and victorious, he carefully took out the family secret - the horseshoe.
She is truly sincere and regards her husband as her God.
The person is beautiful, the heart is sincere, there is a reflection of oneself in the autumn eyes of Jian Shui... Really, wouldn't it be Chen Duan, Ren He Huan Qu Xing Shuo Ji Yi Huan Forgiveness
Then, I guess it is not the so-called "heroes have a hard time being beautiful".
Otherwise, he will only covet beauty, but the beauty will have him in his heart!
"Time is running out. You ordered the craftsmen to work all night and night, so you can get a thousand pairs of horseshoes."
"Bu Nao, please rest assured, Your Majesty, you will continue to let the craftsmen make it."
"You have brought the craftsman here and asked him to take the people and arm the prince's horses."
"In addition, you have prepared some food and grass."
Having said that, Gu Qingcheng looked at Chen Duan with slightly distressed eyes.
She lowered her voice and said softly, "Jiankang has been wary of the prince for a long time. He probably won't prepare enough food and grass for the prince."
"Qing built a farm in Lingnan, and also purchased some from the local Li tribe, Huang family, etc. A total of ten thousand dan!"
Ten thousand stones?
Enough for 20,000 to 30,000 troops, which will last for less than half a year.
Chen Duan is indeed short of food, but Bu Nao is a "strong general".
The so-called warriors are those who don't mind "fighting to support war".
Especially if the food and salary allocated by the court are insufficient and not timely, Chen Duan can "requisition food" on the spot.
In ancient times, especially when wars were frequent, the boundaries between officials and bandits were really blurred.
Almost all of those powerful generals had the experience of setting up troops to grab food.
Of course, if there is sufficient food and salary, there is no need to rob it.
Using soldiers to seize food is the same as killing prisoners, which is not a good reputation.
Chen Duangui was the king of Liang and had great ambitions. His reputation was too bad, which was not conducive to his great cause.
"My lord, take it all, you will continue to think of a solution."
"Your Majesty, I'll just worry about the battle outside and leave the logistics and other issues to you."
Gu Qingcheng raised her head, uh, I can't help it, Chen Duan is too tall.
She is now less than fifteen years old, and her body has not fully grown.
As for his height, he reaches Chen Duan's shoulders.
With a difference of more than thirty centimeters, Gu Qingcheng could just raise her head when she shut up.
Oh, from that angle, her small face becomes more delicate and her eyes are sincere.
When she looked at Chen Duan, Chen Duan felt like he was denying her the world.
Being worshiped, valued, focused, and attached... As an old widower in his twenties, Chen Duan inexplicably had the impulse and excitement of a young boy.
"Aqing, he understands that I was wrong about him!"
"I can rest assured that he will definitely live up to me."
Chen Duan was really moved by Qinqing's dedication without asking for anything in return.
As for people, they are not "rebellious" at heart.
The more she asks for nothing, the more I want to give it to her.
Moreover, aside from being moved, Gu Qing is indeed the best "virtuous foreign aid".
Chen Duan looked at Gu Qingcheng with burning eyes and finally made up his mind, "In a few months, he will ask to lead troops to Jiangling."
"This time I send troops, I will ask for a year or two to come back at least."
"Guangcheng, he will entrust it to A Qing."
Chen Duan looked like he was trusting his family's fortune.
Gu Qingcheng did not make any false excuses.
She has successfully switched her identity as "future mistress". For her, Guangcheng's mistakes are not trophies, but responsibilities!
She nodded solemnly, exuding great virtue from the inside out, "My lord, please rest assured and go to war, I will definitely guard the rear for you!"
Well, Gu Qingcheng's position is very clear - if he doesn't want to occupy the magpie's nest, he will help me keep an eye on the family.
Guangcheng is still not my territory, King Liang, and I am not the king there.
As for him, he is the "good foreign helper" who helps me look after my house.
At most, some low-level officials can be installed to bring local wealthy families, wealthy businessmen, etc. to Gu's big ship...
Ahem, this negates Qingcheng's liquid strategy in Lingnan, which is from the east and surrounds the cities with rural areas.
He doesn't show off his power, and doesn't win over high-level officials such as governors, but he can actually control the entire state and county!
"Okay! He believes in me!"
Chen Duan likes that feeling very much, with the male leading the role and the female leading the role.
He can rest assured that he can fight outside, while the rear is guarded by his virtuous mistress.
No need to worry about logistical supplies, no need to worry about your base being raided.
As for whether the Gu family will take the opportunity to seize Guangcheng?
Chen Duan had doubts and hesitations.
However, every time I see Gu Qingcheng's beautiful and clear eyes, as well as her unreserved dedication and true love, all doubts disappear.
Furthermore, he, Chen Duan, is not a softie who is plotting against everyone.
He has soldiers!
In the face of absolute force, all conspiracies and calculations are not so ridiculous.
Even if Guangcheng or even the whole of Lingnan is lost, Chen Duan can take it back with his troops!
"Just in time, let's take advantage of that opportunity to take a good look at whether Mr. Gu is reliable!"
Chen Duan secretly planned to leave a thousand troops in Guangcheng.
He sent his closest lieutenants to Gu Qingcheng as "helpers".
Gu Qingcheng: ...Sure enough, I am an old fox, and I can't be fooled so easily.
Bu Nao, scared!
Because Gu Qingcheng never thought about doing tricks.
As a political leader who has lived for two lifetimes, Gu Qingcheng understands people's hearts very well.
No matter what kind of conspiracy she has on the outside, she is not sincere on the outside.
Did Gu Qingcheng really ask for help from Chen Duan to make his troops stronger so that he could become a sharp sword for the Southern Dynasty?
Ahem, what the hell, she has long regarded Chen Duan as "one of her own". The stronger Chen Duan is, the faster and better she, Gu Qingcheng, can achieve her goal.
Whether all the efforts she made to Chen Duan came from "sincerity".
No at best, Gu Qingcheng has more than one sincerity!
…
After seeing off Chen Duan's army, Gu Qingcheng began to settle in Guangcheng.
She did not use the name of Gu family, but always regarded herself as the "fiancée of Prince Liang".
If she is a virtuous foreign aid, she will be looking after the house of Prince Liang.
The lieutenants and soldiers who Chen Duan left behind were wary at first, thinking that Gu Qingcheng was a vixen who used her beauty to seduce his own prince.
Gu's ambition in Lingnan is like a lice on a bald man's head.
As for Gu's daughter, she seems to be capable and courageous.
Would such a powerful noblewoman from an aristocratic family be willing to be a little woman?
She is not sure what kind of thoughts she is hiding.
Look at her!
They must help the prince keep her under control!
However, the law of true fragrance will never arrive even if it is too late.
Gu Qingcheng's "sincerity" is also a surefire surefire move.
Chen Duan is not here, but she never leaves "Prince" in everything.
Whether Bufeng could entertain local wealthy families or go on inspection tours of the military camp, she also showed off her "Prince" first.
Even if he didn't spend his own money to win people's hearts, Gu Qingcheng never mentioned the word "self-sacrifice".
She will tell everyone, "That is not the reward from the prince!"
Eating the food and grass brought by Gu Qingcheng, drinking the wine sent by Gu Qingcheng, and using the medicines sent by Gu Qingcheng Mingdong Medical Center... but watching others not taking any credit.
Even the most determined lieutenant general was a little moved.
In the secret letter written to King Liang, the deputy general praised Gu Qingcheng countless times.
And sincerely praised, "Your Majesty is blessed to have found a good wife."
Chen Duan:...Hmph! It’s very useful, I tell you!
Chen Duan led his army and traveled for two months before arriving at Jiangling.
Then, he formed a confrontation with the invading Northern Dynasty troops.
That kind of war of attrition is the most irritating thing.
Not only does it involve the consumption of troops, but it also involves a huge competition in financial resources such as food, grass, ordnance.
The imperial court doesn't have any supplies at all.
Chen Jing: Are you kidding? If I take Chen Duan away, I will let him and the Northern Dynasties consume each other.
It would be better if both of them could suffer losses.
forage?
ordnance?
War horse?
drug?
No! None at all!
The court refused, but Chen Duan's army was not in trouble.
Because their coach Liang Wang has an extremely reliable and talented foreign aid!
Batch after batch of logistical supplies were continuously transported from Guangcheng to Jiangling, in full and on time!
