When Gu Yan saw Ran Shouxin again, his eyes were already green, exactly the same as a panda. It would be even better if he was fatter.
Gu Yan shook her head regretfully and followed Luo Rongxuan toward Gu An.
"Father, you can leave."
Gu An nodded with a cold face, waved his hand and "out."
The team continued to move forward, and Luo Rongxuan rode on the horse with Luo Zhantian who was already familiar with him, walking quietly beside Gu Yan.
He wanted to take a carriage, but Gu Yan refused to let him go and insisted that he carried Luo Zhantian on a horse, saying that he had to train Luo Zhantian's courage since he was a child and let him know what was going on in war.
He didn't understand. What could he know if the child was still so young? As for the child suffering this?
But he didn't dare to say anything. He was afraid that Gu Yan would be angry, so he had to do what she said.
Fortunately, Gu Yan still remembers to wear more clothes for the child, and wrap Luo Zhantian with a cloak to prevent the wind and sand from blowing him. Although it was a little hot, it was better than the rough skin.
Luo Rongxuan lowered his head with distress and glanced at Luo Zhantian in his arms, and sighed softly, "I feel wronged."
"What's wronged?"
Gu Yan walked beside Luo Rongxuan. Although Luo Rongxuan spoke very lowly, she still heard it.
Luo Rongxuan shook his head, "Nothing."
Luo Rongxuan didn't say it, Gu Yan was too lazy to ask again, thinking that he felt sorry for his son.
Gu Yan also felt pain, but she would not let Luo Zhantian live in the greenhouse. This is not about loving him, but about harming him.
She had learned the death of the fifth prince, and the person who stood in front of them was dead. What they were going to face next was a battle to fight for the throne, and if you accidentally got rid of it, you would be doomed.
If they can successfully fight for the throne, then Luo Zhantian will be the future prince, which means that he will bear the country and people of the Great Wei Dynasty. If you want to be a good emperor, you must endure hardships and understand the sufferings of the people, otherwise he will wait for the people to scold him to death!
Luo Rongxuan looked up at Gu Yan, then carefully wrapped Luo Zhantian, pressed his little face tightly against his chest, and covered his face with a gauze. Only then did he feel relieved.
The team led by Gu An advanced from south to north, while Gu Zhehan led the remaining 100,000 troops from north to south. Gu An and Gu Zhehan both calculated the time, and the two armies finally arrived outside the royal city on the evening of the eighth day.
Along the way, they did not meet a team, and they did not even see a small tribe or horse team. It was so smooth that it was unbelievable.
But Gu An and Gu Zhehan both knew that this was not a good thing, which meant that Gorkin was going to fight to the death, and what was waiting for them would be Gorkin's resistance to death.
In the magnificent palace, hundreds of barbarian officials gathered. These officials stood outside the hall where Gorkin was resting with a sad face, waiting for Gorkin's summons.
Soon after, a tall and handsome man walked out of the hall. The man glanced at the officials and said, "Father is waiting for you, please come in."
After saying that, the man turned around and went in again.
The officials looked at each other and walked into the hall one after another.
Gorkin sat upright on a luxurious dragon chaise, his thin cheeks were black, his dry head was wearing a golden crown, his eyes were hooked, and he stared at the officials coming in.
When these officials finished bowing down, Gorkin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and raised his slender finger to point at the man who had just left, "My barbarians are at the point of life and death, and now they order the great prince Gorcang to lead all the troops in the royal city to resist the Great Wei army's attack into the royal city."
After saying this, Gorkin suddenly coughed anxiously. He clenched his right fist against his lips, making a violent coughing sound.
"Father."
Goercang walked anxiously to Goercin, holding him with one hand and the other on his back to help him relieve his cough. When Goercin got better, he brought a bowl of medicine to his lips. Goercin drank slowly with Goercang's hand.
After a while, Gorkin got much better, waved at Gorcang, indicating that he was fine.
Gorecang bowed and retreated to the steps, waiting respectfully for him to continue issuing orders.
"Gorjiyuan betrayed the barbarians and cooperated with the Great Wei people to kill our barbarians for 400,000 troops. Now we only have 100,000 troops available.
There are barbarians in the royal city, and there are murderers outside the royal city. They want to destroy our barbarians and kill all of us barbarians. Can we sit and wait for death? No, it doesn’t matter if we die. There are more than 100,000 people in the city. What should they do if we die? We must resist, defeat the enemy, drive the people of the Great Wei back to the border, hang Gorjiyuan’s son Goermang on the city gate, let him be despised by our barbarians every day, let him know what good things he has done and how many disasters he has brought to us.
I know you are afraid that Goerm will hurt you after attacking the royal city, but you are also looking forward to hope that Goerm can let you go for the sake of the old barbarian king and for the sake of the barbarians needing you, but I want to tell you that what you expect will not become a reality. Even if Goerm kills his father, will you let you go? Haha, stop thinking about it, just follow me to defend the city honestly."
After Gorkin finished speaking, he closed his eyes. The hall was quiet. No one spoke or chatted. Everyone sighed bitterly with their heads down.
These people are all old ministers of the old barbarian king Gorefu. Logically speaking, they should have been on the throne, but the reality is that Gorjin is strong and eventually ascended the throne and became the barbarian king.
These people had to follow him because they were also afraid of death.
If Gorji had really died at the hands of Gorman, then they would probably be in danger.
Gu An and Gu Zhehan don’t care what these people think and what they will do. They are only interested in the barbarian treasury.
When Gu Zhehan learned that Gu An had arrived, he immediately left the camp and ran around the royal city for half a circle to meet Gu An in the team led by Gu An.
After several months, the father and son gathered together again. They didn't say anything nonsense, all of them were planning and strategies for attacking the royal city. The two stayed in the tent for more than two hours. After the second, Gu Zhehan came out and then rushed back to Georm's army without stopping.
Gu An summoned everyone to discuss the next day, saying that it was a discussion, which was actually an order, and ordered them to do what he said and cooperate with Gu Zhehan to attack the city. They must not be the main attack.
Gu An and Gu Zhehan's purpose is very clear. In this siege battle, the barbarians suffered heavy losses. They will no longer think about harassing the border in a short period of time. The people in the border can live a few good life. After more than ten years, the Great Wei will definitely be more prosperous. By then, even if the barbarians prosper again, they will not be able to fight against the Great Wei.
Early the next morning, Gu Zhehan attacked first, but Gu An did not make any noise. He only dispersed his troops to guard the two city gates and did not do anything else.
Gu Zhehan also dispersed his troops into two parts, with an army of 50,000 at each city gate, and he commanded one army, and the other was led by Goermang himself.
Gu Zhehan's siege was going well, but Gormang obviously wanted to preserve his strength and did not siege the city too fiercely. Therefore, the general responsible for guarding the gate of the royal city on his side allocated his troops to Gu Zhehan, making Gu Zhehan even more difficult.
But Gu Zhehan didn't care. Anyway, it was not his who died, so Goerm didn't care what he was thinking about!
After a day, everyone in the royal city understood that although Goermang was cooperating with the Great Wei, the two sides did not trust each other. Gu An did not move. Goermang's attack was obviously perfunctory, while Gu Zhehan was attacking fiercely at all costs. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be vowing to attack the royal city.
The officials inside knew it and quickly gathered together to discuss solutions, hoping that they could overcome this difficulty smoothly through the loopholes in which the Wei and Geormang were different.
In the next few days, Gu Zhehan was sieging the city like crazy, spending a lot of money every day, and the dead people gradually rose every day, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the barbarian soldiers.
The soldiers were a little negative. When Gu Zhehan found out, he sneered and ran to the military medical camp to see the wounded.
When he arrived at the military medical camp, Gu Zhehan personally bandaged the wounded soldiers and talked to them cordially. As he was talking, Gu Zhehan shed tears.
"I didn't expect so many people to die. Logically speaking, there are only 100,000 troops in the royal city. These 100,000 troops must be divided into four parts to guard the royal city. Each city gate will not exceed 30,000 at most, but now...
Do you doubt me? Haha, I know everything. You will ask, why did my father not move? Actually, this is a secret, but you are the ones who attacked the city, and you are also qualified to know about this.
Prince Goermang... We are from the Great Wei Dynasty. It is normal for him to be afraid of us, and it is normal for him to suspect that we are not helping you sincerely. We can understand all of these.
The reason why my father didn't move was because Prince Gormang didn't want all the credits to be taken away by the Great Wei. He was able to do it and took the lead in siege and also wanted fame... He said that the barbarians' wars were solved by the barbarians themselves. The Great Wei could siege the city, but not the city. He... He is the future king of the tribe, and the barbarians still have to rule, we are just helping."
After saying these words, Gu Zhehan covered his face and retreated. Although the wounded soldiers living in the tent suspected the authenticity of what Gu Zhehan said, he was right. The barbarians' war should be solved by the barbarians themselves.
Perhaps, Gu Zhehan did not lie, all he said was true, and Geormang did not want the people of the Great Wei to participate.
Gu Zhehan turned the blame to Geermang and walked out of the military medical camp. He turned around and glanced at the brightly lit tent, and sneered.
Want to preserve your strength? Then you can protect it, but you must not regret it.
The next day, Gu Zhehan did not attack the city again, but calmed the people's hearts, ate and lived with the wounded soldiers, and exchanged sincerity for the soldiers' understanding and support.
For three consecutive days, Gu Zhehan stayed in the military medical camp. His actions were seen in the eyes of the soldiers, and he felt that he was really thinking about the barbarians, otherwise he could continue to attack the royal city instead of caring about their lives or death.
Even so, some soldiers were suspicious, but the arrival of Goermeng loudly asked Gu Zhehan why he did not continue to attack, which made these soldiers finally believe that what Gu Zhehan said was correct.
The soldiers were dissatisfied with Goermang, but none of them dared to say it. After Goermang left, Gu Zhehan ordered an attack again. This move completely made the barbarian soldiers believe that Goermang did not treat them as human beings and ignored their lives for his ambitions.
No matter how much dissatisfaction is, it is useless. They still have to attack the royal city the next day, but this time the soldiers no longer use all their strength, but gradually retreat.
The soldiers did not do their best, and the battle situation was stalemate. Gu Zhehan had no choice but to order the besiege of the royal city and stop the attack for the time being.
Many officials in the royal city were relieved because of Gu Zhehan's order. In order to defend the royal city, they transferred most of their troops to Gu Zhehan's side. The remaining three sides were all beautiful in appearance, but the inside was actually empty, which made these people frightened, fearing that the other three sects would also attack together.
At the same time, the Great Wei military camp led by Gu An was peaceful. Except for Gu An still appeared in the military camp, a group of young generals, including Gu Yan and Luo Rongxuan, did not appear for seven or eight days. Although the soldiers were puzzled, no one had ever asked Gu An. They also knew that these things might be done.
Indeed, Gu Yan and Luo Rongxuan and others had already left the camp, and everyone had already entered the royal city.
In a small courtyard not far from the palace, Gu Yan and others gathered here. They hid in the day and went out at night, secretly observing the movements of the four city gates every day. It took five or six days to finally figure out the time pattern of the four city gates changing shifts, and also touched the layout of the royal city.
At night, the courtyard was pitch black, and Gu Yan had a meeting with everyone in the dark.
"Soldiers change shifts every two hours, and the shift shifts at the four city gates are different, and the difference is only half an hour.
The location of the official residences in the royal city has basically been determined. They have not returned to the mansion these days, but have stayed in the palace and never returned, and their families have not gone out, and their servants come and go in a hurry and do not communicate with anyone.
However, the guards in each mansion were not in the mansion, but went up to the city wall and fought with the soldiers. The reason why General Gu was difficult was because of their joining."
After Ran Shouxin finished speaking, he took a step back and returned to Mo Xiang.
Gu Yan narrowed her eyes and tapped the table, "Since that's the case, it's easy to deal with. These people are not at home, so it's much easier for us to do things.
Okay, it’s already midnight now, let’s go to bed, and we will start working until tomorrow is dark.”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and quickly left Heibu Longdong's house and went back to their rooms to rest.
Gu Yan and Luo Rongxuan were also separated. This small courtyard was the residence of the Gu Ban in the royal city. Because he was not always here, the courtyard was smaller. When they came, there were hundreds of people, so they had to sleep with more than a dozen or twenty people.
It’s okay to sleep in the yard, but eating and drinking have become a problem. They are not convenient for them to go out to buy food, for fear that someone will doubt them, and even to hide their bodies, they don’t even go out of the gate, and there is no movement at all. Neighbors don’t know that people are coming to the yard.
