Chapter 337: The Eve of the Expedition
"In Yuan Tiangang's words, you are a person who should not appear in the world. Your existence is a paradox. It doesn't exist just like water flowing to a low place and it cannot flow backwards." Hong Fu Nu sighed, "But you appeared."
"Is he really dead?" Gu Qing asked again.
"Don't talk to me in this tone." Hong Funu's tone became cold, "I have never seen Yuan Tiangang's body."
"So whether he is dead or alive is also a mystery." Gu Qing whispered.
"I'll go to Goguryeo first, we'll meet in Goguryeo." Hong Funniao left step by step after saying that.
All the night wind was left around. Gu Qing stood there and thought a lot about it. Is Yuan Tiangang alive? What secrets are there in Kunlun Mountain in this era? In addition to knowing which disciples there are other disciples of the legendary old man in Baliang.
"Let's go back." Yang Sheng took back the knife.
Nodding, Gu Qing went back to Shanhaiguan with thoughts, and when he walked out of the dense forest, he suddenly realized his eyes. Shanhaiguan looked like a bonfire party, which was very lively.
"Gu Qing, where have you been?" Li Tai pulled Gu Qing to the bonfire. "I just found a few fishermen. They said the weather would be clear for a while and we had the chance to enter Goguryeo. But before autumn, no one could say whether there would be another strong wind."
Nodding his head, Gu Qing picked up a red-cooked crab and ate it. He looked at Su Dingfang and Cheng Chumo, Xue Rengui and the other two drank very happily, while King Wu Li Ke was drinking calmly, "Fatty, do you think His Highness of the King of Wu is here to steal your credit this time?"
"This guy is not afraid." Li Tai shook his hand, "Sometimes I have thought about why he was competing for the first place in front of his father, but I understood his intention a few days ago. Everything he did was for her mother."
"Ao." Gu Qing nodded thoughtfully.
Li Tai said again, "This King of Wu is different from me and the prince. His mother's identity is too sensitive. I know all the things in the harem of the prince. Concubine Yang has been excluded everywhere in the palace, and even Yuefeng is the most meager. He has done so much for his own mother and for his mother to gain a foothold in the palace. Therefore, he did everything he could to do his best in everything he taught as the father! Sometimes I sympathize with him, pity him, and admire him even more."
"He did not rebel because of his mother's identity, but instead thought about his mother's mother." Li Tai took a sip of wine, "This is also one of the reasons why the father was able to send him to the Eastern Expedition. Since the death of the emperor's grandfather, his father has used the King of Wu even more, because of the filial piety of the King of Wu."
"So that's how it is." Gu Qing nodded.
"Hahaha..." Li Tai smiled strangely, "Gu Qing, you don't know that there are still others. The prince wanted to win over the King of Wu many times, but he was rejected by the King of Wu."
"This King of Wu is very smart." Gu Qing nodded.
"Yes!" Li Tai raised the wine bowl and drank it in one gulp, "So you don't have to worry about this King of Wu. He will not come to deal with us. Instead, he will charge forward. The most important thing to be wary of is Hou Junji. Hou Junji is the prince's confidant and the prince's right-hand man. Moreover, there is a close relationship between Hou Junji and Changsun Wuji. Do you understand now?"
"The swords on the battlefield have no eyes." Gu Qing lowered his voice, "He also gives me some caution."
The night of bonfire party ended, and many people were drunk. The next morning, Gu Qing wrote a face with a sleepy head with a cold water bag, opened his hazy gaze, and stared at him, "Shangguan Yi?"
"House of Gu County." Shangguan Yi smiled politely.
"Have the general arrived?" Gu Qing looked around and saw no other soldiers.
"The general will not arrive tomorrow." Shangguan Yi explained, "The general asked the lower officials to come here first with the King of Goguryeo, saying that he would seize the opportunity of repairing the road and attacking Goguryeo first, and seize the opportunity of the wind stopping this time."
Gu Qing let out a long sigh, "I thought he was here. If we came now, we would be miserable."
Shangguan Yi understood everything under Shanhaiguan, "Did the Marquis do his best last night?"
"It's the first time I've been to the beach." Gu Qing laughed and hugged Shangguan Yi and said, "How about it, I'll go to the sea to get some sea goods for you to try."
"I had eaten a lot of sea food when I was on the way to Goguryeo, but I was tired of it." Shangguan Yi waved his hands repeatedly, "I have brought the King of Goguryeo. He knew there was a path that could surprise Goguryeo."
Li Tai also woke up early. When he heard the words between Shangguan Yi and Gu Qing, he asked curiously, "A surprise attack on Goguryeo?"
"That's right." Shangguan Yi said, "After marching these days, General Li Jie has been thinking about how to deal with Goguryeo. The King of Goguryeo pointed out a path. At that time, several major generals will first attack Goguryeo with 30,000 troops. When Goguryeo is tired of dealing with it, General Li Jie will lead his army to attack Goguryeo."
“Two-pronged approach.”
"Follow me." Li Tai led the silent King Goguryeo and Shangguan Yi to Shanhaiguan.
Gu Qing woke up the drunk Cheng Chumo, Xue Rengui, and Su Dingfang, "Don't sleep, we're going to go to war."
"Going to the battle?" Xue Rengui immediately stood up.
"Let's go and discuss it first." Gu Qing took out the water bag, "Wash your face and drink a sip of water, sober up."
Several people came to the city tower of Shanhaiguan. Li Tai, Li Ke, Shangguan Yi, King Goguryeo and Li Junxian were discussing.
Shangguan Yi pointed to a corner of the Yalu River on the map, "When I escaped with the King of Goguryeo, I used this path to ask Yuan Gaisuwen to chase him. It was the narrowest place on both sides of the Yalu River. There was a single-plank bridge to pass, and as long as I built a bridge there, you could pass."
Looking at the worries of the few people, Shangguan Yi said again, "Wang Jin asked Xiaguan to bring some firearms first, one thousand grenades and three cannons."
"This is really interesting." Cheng Chumo touched the minibus and looked at Gu Qing with a smile, "After a cannon, ten thousand taels of gold, Gu Qing, when did you make this thing?"
"We will fix the troops and set off now." Su Dingfang said and left.
Shangguan Yi said to Li Junxian again, "I would like to ask General Li to continue to be in Shanhaiguan, and the 100,000 troops will arrive later."
Li Junxian's face was fixed and his head was fixed.
