The deployment of troops according to the division of war? It is simply ridiculous!
Gu Chengyu didn't want to believe that his teacher would do such a thing. This was a serious crime that could subvert the dynasty. Such a feat would be recorded in the annals of history. However, it would not be famous for centuries, but would be infamous for thousands of years.
At that time, the teacher was already a second-rank official. Although Xue Haozhen was in front of him, Xue Haozhen was not a teacher at his age and had no chance to become the first assistant.
If this is the case, why would the teacher take such dangerous measures? This is unreasonable.
Could the other party threaten the lives of the teacher's family members? This is even more impossible. The teacher's legitimate son died young and his two daughters were married. He had nothing to worry about, so how could he threaten?
Gu Chengyu's mind changed rapidly. He put down the letter in his hand and picked through other letters, finally finding a letter without a blank envelope.
He picked up the letter, stared at it for a long time with trembling hands, and then took out the letter.
Liu Su'er saw Gu Chengyu's hesitation and couldn't help but feel relieved. It seemed that Gu Chengyu was far less calm than he appeared on the surface, and it would be fine if he hesitated. This showed that Gu Chengyu still had a conscience in his heart.
Mother Tan and Uncle Qin looked at each other. They also knew the contents of those letters. When they found the letters in their infancy, they had read the contents.
At that time, they were afraid that someone would chase her back to her hometown, so they took the girl away. Now thinking about it, it was indeed the right thing to do.
If someone else had taken the girl away, they would have been in danger of being exposed.
Tan's mother glanced at Gu Chengyu, feeling very worried. She didn't know how Mr. Gu would deal with this matter. If he ignored it, there would be no loss.
But he was afraid that when Mr. Gu saw that his teacher was involved, he would destroy the evidence or even kill people to silence them. In this way, they would die an untimely death.
In fact, Mother Tan and Uncle Qin were not so determined to stop their girl, but they still had selfish motives. Mother Tan and Uncle Qin spent a lot of effort to raise an infant baby.
They have no children, and after spending so many years together day and night, they have long regarded Xue Shuyao as their own child. However, Xue Shuyao believed that she had a great revenge that she had not avenged, and she only wanted to restore Xue's innocence and was not willing to live an ignoble existence.
Naturally, they thought the same way when the girl was still young. Otherwise, they would not have asked their nuns to teach her and raise her so preciously.
But people are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless? Seventeen years have passed, and the girl has grown up, and they don't want her to return to the capital even more.
They just knew that the Xue family was confiscated and exterminated, and their parents and relatives died tragically. As the orphans of the Xue family, how could they remain indifferent? They only tried to persuade her twice, but when the girl didn't listen, they stopped trying to persuade her.
Now, even if Mr. Gu destroys the evidence and may save their lives, they will naturally be grateful. They should immediately take the girl away from the capital and live a peaceful life elsewhere. In the future, they will have someone to take care of them until they die.
After Gu Chengyu opened the letter, he first looked at the signature. When he saw that the signature was Liang Zhirui and there was his personal seal on it, Gu Chengyu's heart suddenly sank.
Holding back the uneasiness and excitement in his heart, he read the contents in his heart.
"The Holy One has sent troops staying in the capital, the city guard, and the Kaiyan Prefecture to go to the border to handle the war. A total of 700,000 troops have set off today. During the period, they will march day and night and are expected to arrive in two months. Among them, there is also a
The famous coach Zhou Bozhong, and the two assistant coaches Shi Yuewen and Wei Geng.
Zhou Bozhong is a direct branch of the Zhou family. Several generations of his ancestors were men of great military exploits and extraordinary strategies. This man is good at spears."
The more Gu Chengyu read, the more frightened he became. He had read documents and records in this area when he was reading history books in the Hanlin Academy.
In February of Dayan's fifty-first year, the border war was about to break out. Because Daxing had repeatedly invaded the border before, those Daxing soldiers and soldiers burned, killed, and looted the people at the border, doing all kinds of evil, testing Dayan's limits again and again.
Dayan couldn't bear the other party's bad behavior, so he had to raise his troops and go there, vowing to teach Daxing a painful lesson.
At that time, 600,000 elite troops were stationed at the border. As long as the trumpet sounded, the two sides were ready to fight. Then, to ensure that nothing was lost, the emperor mobilized three remaining armies to go. A total of 1.3 million troops were dispatched for this battle.
The 500,000-strong army in Shang Daxing has a sure chance of victory.
What's more, the emperor also sent Zhou Bozhong there. Speaking of Zhou Bozhong, he was really brave and good at fighting. He could march and set up formations easily.
Zhou Bozhong was already in his fifties at the time, but he was still as strong as ever. He had been outstanding in battle and had repeatedly performed extraordinary feats.
Both the emperor and himself probably thought that this battle would definitely make those Daxing thieves lose their shit.
Who would have thought that the battle that was originally a sure win would go awry.
Zhou Bozhong led his soldiers to the border pass. When they were about to arrive, they were ambushed on the road, and Zhou Bozhong was hit by an arrow in the shoulder.
If he was only hit by an arrow, it would not be a problem. He only needed a few days of training before he could go into the battlefield and kill the enemy. However, he did not expect that the arrow was coated with poison. When the doctor detoxified Zhou Bozhong, Zhou Bozhong suffered a lot of damage.
The other two teams sent to the border were no exception. Due to the negligence of the deputy commander Wei Geng, he was unprepared when he was ambushed, resulting in the death and injury of more than 60,000 soldiers. Wei Geng was not able to escape.
He went to the battlefield and died on the way.
He died before leaving the army. Zhou Bozhong and Shi Yuewen who survived immediately passed the news back to the capital and continued to rush to the border.
When the remaining 640,000 troops rushed to the border, fighting had already begun. It was the time when the two armies were fighting. Due to the delay on the road, Dayan lost the opportunity.
Ren Xiuguang, the Huwei general guarding the border, had already fought two battles with enemy generals and was exhausted.
The other side sent the brave general Salman, who was famous at the border. His martial arts skills were not inferior to Ren Xiuguang's, and he was also shady and good at conspiracy. Ren Xiuguang had a hard time dealing with it. Finally, he missed in the third game and was defeated.
The opponent's chop happened to be on the thigh.
Ren Xiuguang was injured, and Zhou Bozhong also had an old injury that had not yet healed, so Shi Yuewen had no choice but to bite the bullet.
But Shi Yuewen was good at setting up formations and making plans, and his martial arts skills were inferior to Ren Xiuguang. As you can imagine, by the time he was rescued by the soldiers around him, he was already seriously injured.
Zhou Bozhong had no choice but to go into battle even though the remaining poison was still lingering.
Dayan lost the opportunity, lacked defenses, and had no chance to fully deploy, so Daxing had an opportunity to take advantage of it, and was defeated repeatedly.
When the battle report came to the capital, the emperor was furious. Zhou Bozhong was defeated by the enemy generals Salman and Robusang. Even Zhou Bozhong was beheaded by these two men on the spot, and his head was hung on the enemy's tower.
, to demonstrate.
At this point, Dayan's army was disorganized and its morale had dropped. Later, some generals rushed up to fight two times in a row, losing both times.
