It was seven days after Gu Fengtuo received the imperial edict to attack Ruoqiang. As soon as the edict arrived, the entire Xiqiang city immediately fell into a state of war readiness.

"His Majesty has sent 300,000 reinforcements from Liangzhou, and the food and grass are on the way to be transported. We can set off with the troops in three days at the earliest."

In the study, Gu Fengtuo looked at the general below and spoke quietly.

Gu Bei nodded, "I'm going to order Yanyun's army to be the vanguard and set off first."

'General, have you considered the location of the army's camp?'

Since ancient times, when a general goes to war, he must first set up camp and prepare his reserve army.

"Xiqiang City is not far from Ruoqiang. After leaving Hehuang Pass, the foot of Baitou Mountain, a thousand miles to the north, is suitable for camping. Watchtowers and arrow towers can be built. It is a favorable terrain that is easy to defend but difficult to attack." Lin

Zidan opened his mouth.

Hearing Lin Zidan's words, Gu Fengtuo nodded, "That's what I wanted to do. Let's take 30,000 troops and set up camp in Baitou Mountain. The logistics supply will be at least 100,000. Cao Han, you and Lao Wu are responsible for it."

"Yes, General."

"Baitou Mountain is very close to Ruoqiang. The cavalry can reach it in half a day. As for the plan to attack the city, we will discuss it later."

After finishing speaking, the twelfth-year-old Ge Tian looked over and said, "General, I heard that the army brought by Mobei this time is a ghost-carrying army?"

"Yes, I remembered it. Two days ago, spies reported that 50,000 ghost-carrying troops had arrived in Ruoqiang. It seems that these bastards had a plan. Even if we didn't send troops to Ruoqiang, Liangzhou

It won't be guaranteed either." Xue Ling took a sip.

As soon as the words came out, everyone was filled with indignation.

Ye Qi interrupted the conversation of several people and spoke solemnly, "General, this ghost-carrying army is not easy to deal with. This ghost-carrying army trained in Mobei is the best at riding and shooting. It is specially designed to deal with our Yanyun Nineteen Cavalry Army.

Yes, are you sure you want Yan Yunjun to take the lead?"

"Fight, I'm afraid he'll do something. These guys will go back to the desert and save themselves trouble." Cao Han shouted loudly, still eager to try the ax in his hand.

"Old Shi is right. We haven't been on the battlefield for several years anyway, and our knives are almost rusty. This is a good time to practice our skills-"

Looking at the people below, Gu Fengtuo interrupted the quarrel, gave some instructions, set the departure time for three days for the army and horses, and talked a lot about setting up camp before the rally was completed.

"By the way, call the second master back." Gu Fengtuo and Ye Qi told him before leaving.

Ye Qi smiled brightly and said, "I am currently nestling in the arms of a beauty. I probably don't want to come back."

"Why, the second master is still in Liangzhou?" Gu Bei heard the sound and came over.

Ye Qi continued, "In a village outside the Pass, who told you it was in Liangzhou?"

Gu Fengtuo walked out, glanced at the sky outside the window, and said softly, "Be sure to call people back, including the third child."

"Okay, I'll write a letter."

Seeing this, Gu Fengtuo left the study.

"General, don't leave. There are still two days left. Let's have a drink today--"

"That's right, once you're on the battlefield, you won't have this free time--"

"Come on, with the general's drinking capacity and drunkenness, we have a lot of work to do, so don't call him-"

Gu Fengtuo ignored the noise behind him and slowly left the study and strolled around the house. After a while, he couldn't help but walk to the kitchen and heard the sound coming from inside. He looked into the small courtyard.

In the small kitchen, Tang Ningning was busy cooking, and the strong smell of rice wafted from the yard.

"Mom, is it almost ready? Do you want me to call daddy?" Gu Ge was playing with the herbs in the yard, and Xiao Bai was playing with them next to him.

Gu Zhou lay on the table and fell asleep.

Tang Ningning's voice came from the kitchen, "No need to shout, your father is busy."

"But dad hasn't had dinner yet?"

"This is the general's mansion, why is he hungry? Don't worry about him." Tang Ningning walked out with a plate of spicy fried pork belly and placed it on the table under the tree.

Looking at Gu Zhou who was sleeping lazily, he chuckled and patted him awake, "Zhou'er, get up soon, it's time to eat."

"Fan rice--it smells so good--"

Seeing Gu Zhou's greedy look, Gu Ge didn't even notice. He ran to Tang Ningning's side, raised his eyes and asked, "Mom, did you have a fight with dad?"

Is this little girl so thoughtful?

Tang Ningning didn't know what to say for a moment, so she had to take out the crucian carp soup that had been simmering and change the topic, "Go to eat quickly, be careful of scalding--"

"Mom, don't be angry with Daddy. Daddy loves you the most." Gu Ge opened his big round eyes, smiled sweetly, and followed Tang Ningning like a follower, walking in and out of the kitchen and yard.

out.

Tang Ningning was helpless by her troubles, so she could only laugh and said, "Don't be angry. Your father and I are fine, but he is too busy now and can't take care of us. In two days, mother will take you back to Da'an Town, and you will also

It’s time to miss your brother and sister.”

"Then will daddy go back with us?"

This girl was talking about her father now. Tang Ningning couldn't help but think that if she and Gu Fengtuo reconciled, their children would definitely hate her.

"Dad is not going back--"

Suddenly, Gu Zhou woke up, his sleepy eyes looked cute and tight.

Seeing the two people looking over, he rubbed his eyes and said in a sweet voice, "I heard from people in the house that daddy is going to marry that saint girl from southern Xinjiang. Mom, does daddy not want us anymore?"

Hearing what the two children said at the door, Gu Fengtuo frowned slightly, it was time for the servants in the house to take care of it.

"No, even if your father marries someone else, you are still his dearest children and he will never abandon you." Tang Ningning walked out with fragrant rice.

Hearing this, Gu Zhou hummed, "Mom, why aren't you jealous at all? Do you not love daddy?"

This brat has learned the word jealous?

Gu Ge also opened his eyes wide and looked at Tang Ningning with a cute expression.

Tang Ningning prepared meat for Xiao Bai and put the bones in the basin. When she turned her head, she saw the expectant eyes of the two children. She smiled lightly and said, "Of course I love you. Otherwise, why would you be here?"

As soon as the words came out, Gu Fengtuo's back stiffened outside the door, and an inexplicable feeling suddenly came to his mind. He couldn't help but stare blankly at the busy figure in the yard.

"Okay, let's eat quickly."

After Tang Ningning finished speaking, as soon as she sat down, she heard Gu Fengtuo's voice coming from the door.

"Aning---"

She immediately stiffened and turned around, only to see Gu Fengtuo walking in slowly.

'Dad, dad, are you done?'

The two children happily watched Gu Fengtuo walking over, and quickly took the stool and placed it next to Tang Ningning, "Dad, sit down quickly."

"This is what my mother made. It's delicious. Try it quickly." Gu Zhou happily pulled Gu Fengtuo to sit next to Tang Ningning.

Seeing the two children looking happy, Tang Ningning also had a smile on her lips. Looking carefully, she seemed a little embarrassed.

"You are hungry, I will serve you some food."
