Chapter 20 Dali's defeat
Gu Jiuling took the jade hairpin and tied up his long hair, glanced at the prince who looked like a playboy, and turned his head to leave.
Chen Cong looked at his departure back, and the playful look in his eyes slowly converged, turning into a depth that no one else could understand.
The magic and spells on Gu Anxian's body seemed to be deliberately done by someone, as if he was hiding something for him.
What exactly is it.
After rubbing his chin, Chen Cong couldn't figure it out, so he simply meditated on the spot and started practicing with the help of this spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Perhaps because of the strong spiritual energy in Jiangnan, Chen Cong found that his foundation-building second heaven finally showed signs of stepping towards the third heaven.
Unlike a certain marquis, who was born to be favored by heaven and practiced like a fish in water.
It is believed that within a few months, he will be able to surpass his master who led him into the game.
Early the next morning, a light-clad archer quietly touched the foot of Yulong Mountain when dawn was rising.
Standing on the Great Wall, watching the archers leave, the flying flags and rising sunlight reflected in their warm eyes.
Beside him, two young men wearing black bullfighting robes stood.
"Little Marquis, can this plan be done?" Chen Yan slowly opened his lips and asked.
"Know yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles." Gu Jiuling also watched the archers leave, and his body is still cold, but his eyebrows and eyes are no longer visible, and his unique strategic planning on the battlefield is revealed. Such a young man's mature appearance can't help but attract the eyes of the sun.
"Why do you say this?" Chen Yan raised his eyebrows, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes.
"Dali General Duan Zhengqing is very suspicious and acts carefully. The Yulong Mountains are steep and are beside the Dali border, which is a good place for heaven and time. If you successfully cross Yulong Mountain and attack the enemy from here, you will definitely break the border."
Gu Jiuling felt the pressure from the superiors and looked calm, "Your Highness can think of this, as scheming as Duan Zhengqing, and he will also think of it. Last night, the little minister looked at the place where he saw the cold armor sharpening his sword and the sound of the iron cavalry running. I think it was because there were heavy troops to guard it."
"Why, the marquis wants me to send troops to attack from Yulong Mountain?" Chen Ying raised his eyebrows again.
"This means knowing oneself and enemy, and not defeating in a hundred battles. Duan Zhengqing is self-righteous and clever, and we know that he will guard the dangerous places with heavy troops, so as to relax other fortresses. Our army attacks from the Plain Fortress, hitting his mind."
Speaking of this, Gu Jiuling curled his lips slightly, "But he was too arrogant."
Duan Zhengqing thought they would give up the dangerous crossing of Yulong Mountain and attack the Dali border from the plains, so he sent heavy troops to guard the rest of the steep land, the so-called heavy troops were just a gimmick of war.
The archer took the pills brought by Chen Cong, strengthened his strength, and went there, changed into plainclothes and pretended to be a refugee. According to his plan, he could trick a few soldiers and sneak into the city. At that time, he would respond internally and externally, and 200,000 cavalry of the Celestial Empire attacked the city, and Duan Zhengqing would not have time to withdraw his troops to defend the city.
This is a harmonious person.
The right time, place and people are harmonious, and Dali is just a matter of timing.
"I heard from time to time that the prince of the country, the young general Gu Jiuling, had the reputation of the war god of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing in the past. When I saw him today, it was indeed not a false reputation. It is a great blessing that I have you in the Heavenly Kingdom!"
Chen Wang suddenly laughed loudly, patted Gu Jiuling's shoulder, looked at the general next to him with a look of praise and admiration, and said solemnly, "Send the order, the whole army will be solemnly treated you with me, follow the prince to kill to the Dali border, and capture Duan Zhengqing alive!"
"The last general will receive the order!"
Chen Cong looked at his energetic emperor brother, looked at the long red band on his forehead, and his eyes were slightly dazed.
Throughout history, the battlefield has been a place where soldiers have left their reputation in history.
Sacrifice your head and sprinkle your blood.
Fighting south and north, fighting for a lifetime.
Blood flowed into a river and corpses were everywhere.
Just a few words are a fierce battle in history books.
Little do they know what a bloody and sad tragic battlefield covered by these few sentences.
According to historical records, in the tenth year of Jingyuan in the Tian Dynasty, at the end of August, it happened to be the Door.
The prince Chen Yan used the plan of the Dingguo Magistrate Gu Jiuling to attack the west, led 200,000 cavalry to defeat the Dali border and capture the general Duan Zhengqing alive.
Dali was defeated and was willing to bow down and pay tribute to the Heavenly Kingdom.
After this war, the prince became famous in the Heavenly Kingdom.
In early September, the army returned to the court.
On Chang'an Street, the people threw fruits and carts, sincerely facing the young young man walking on the horse in front of the army, knelt on the ground and bowed.
"Welcome to the Crown Prince, your highness, thousands of years, thousands of years!"
The calm and gentleman responded with a smile, like pearls and jade, and his calm and composed appearance attracted a large number of beautiful ladies in the boudoir.
His Royal Highness is three years old, but there is only one princess in the mansion, and he has never even included a concubine. Over the days, the prince and the princess have been in the same position as each other, which is a good story in Chang'an.
Such a kind of elegant and proud person would not feel a loss even if he married him as a concubine.
What's more, Your Highness is the king of the future Celestial Empire.
Once you enter the palace, you will be full of glory.
Why not do it?
In front of the palace, Emperor Jingyuan led all civil and military officials to welcome Chen Yan back to the court.
The army came from afar and stopped in an orderly manner at the main entrance of the palace.
"My son pays homage to my father, long live the emperor, Jin An." Chen Yan fell off his horse, and the sound of the friction between the battle armor was particularly clear.
He bowed his head and bowed, and Chen Cong and Gu Jiuling behind him also bowed together.
"I am paying homage to the Emperor, long live my emperor."
Emperor Jingyuan stepped forward, helped Chen Yan up, patted him on the shoulder, and faced with the kindness that the father saw his son: "You have suffered after half a year of garrisoning the frontier."
"Preserving the earth under your feet is the duty of a son." Chen Yan lowered his eyes, his face neither humble nor arrogant.
"On the outside, the ministers, and the inside, the father and the son. Dad has set up a celebration banquet for you to reward and enfeoff all the soldiers." Emperor Jingyuan patted Chen Yan's hand and was about to walk in, but suddenly stopped and turned around and asked again, "Duan Zhengqing, where is the same as the Dali proton?"
"Everything is on the carriage." Chen Yan bowed.
"The proton was sent to the post station and sent a team of imperial guards to guard it. As for Duan Zhengqing--" Emperor Jingyuan remembered the incident of Dali harassing southern Xinjiang over the years and the displaced people in southern Xinjiang, and his eyes gradually became colder. "Comeone came and throw him into the heavenly prison and guard him strictly! Heavy punishments are not allowed unless I allow it."
After saying that, he went to the imperial study with Chen Rong.
After Emperor Jingyuan left, several soldiers immediately went to the carriage to escort Duan Zhengqing to the Tianzhu of the Ministry of Justice.
After only a long time, a team of imperial guards came to protect the carriage and headed to Chang'an Station.
This proton is the most beloved prince of Emperor Dali. He was made the crown prince since his birth. Because he was young and ignorant, he was asked by the Celestial Empire to take it to Chang'an as a proton. He would not return the court without Emperor Jingyuan's personal order.
Chen Cong looked at the direction where the carriage left, turned his head and walked towards the Duwei Mansion.
Gu Jiuling slowly followed.
"I have paid more attention to the post station recently. The Emperor Dali is ambitious and will never bow down and surrender easily." Chen Cong lowered his voice and said to Gu Jiuling.
Gu Jiuling nodded.
