Chapter 394 Preparations for the Great War
Gu Mingrui was startled for a moment, then he let out a long breath of relief.

"What happened to grandfather? What happened to the border town?" Thinking of Gu Congrong, he became anxious again.

Those Tubo patrol teams who were about to surround them saw that the stone wall was opened, and the Jiannan army led by Gu Mingrui rushed out from inside, their faces changed drastically and they ran away.

The Jiannan army suffered a great loss, and was imprisoned in this dark place aggrieved. After finally regaining their freedom, they could only wish to eat their flesh and drink their blood!Without Gu Mingrui's orders, he went straight to the patrolling team.

Duan Yi got out of the way and led Gu Mingrui to the side, "Grandfather is fine, he was injured a bit, and he will be happy to eat three bowls of rice when you go back. We arrived in time, the border city was not destroyed, but the defenders in the border city suffered heavy casualties .”

Gu Mingrui's heart trembled.

Every minute and every second he was imprisoned here was suffering. He was afraid that because of himself, the enemy would break through the border city and go straight to Jincheng. A way to make up for the big mistakes you made.

Duan Yi looked into his eyes, "Mr. Huang rebelled because of me. He didn't want Jiannan to be surnamed Duan but not Gu; and the reason why the border town is empty is because I, Xiangyang, need rescue..."

When Gu Mingrui heard that Duan Yi took the blame on himself, he immediately became anxious. He grabbed Duan Yi's shoulders, "I can't blame you! It's the collaborator and treason surnamed Huang..."

Duan Yi lowered her head, Gu Mingrui's hand was so hard that it hurt her shoulder.

With a smile in the corner of her eyes, she said to Gu Mingrui, "Right, so you don't need to take other people's faults on yourself."

"If you feel that you can't pass that hurdle, you can kill the enemy and thieves more, and you will pay blood. I have done this, and I feel very comfortable in my heart. You can try it."

Gu Mingrui let go of his hand, and opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally nodded heavily.

Then Youyou said, "Recently, my grandfather eats four bowls of rice for a meal."

Duan Yi was embarrassed.

Gu Congrong is old, can he still eat?Yes, he eats a bucket at a time.

So what she said just now was that Gu Mingrui was safe and sound, and the old man was happy to skip a bowl?
Duan Yi straightened her waist and looked serious, "This is not a place to talk, let's go back to the city quickly!"

She said and got on the horse.

Gu Mingrui looked at her back, smiled lightly, and followed her.

The number of Jiannan Army is far greater than that of the Tubo patrol team. At this moment, the kung fu has strangled the enemy to death.The few people didn't stop much, they quickly descended the Zhegu Mountain and ran towards the border town.

Before reaching the city gate, the sun was setting.

The clouds on the other side of the day were dyed orange by the sun's rays. Birds flew across the sky from time to time, and the soldiers of the Duan family army who came to change defense from the tower stood upright, like long spears.

The gate of the inner city was also tightly closed, and two sentries stood in front of the gate, their shadows stretched long.

Seeing that it was Duan Yi returning to the city, the sentinel shouted, "Open the city gate! The lord is back!"

The guards on the city tower also waved the banner at the same time, and the gatekeepers inside received a double signal before slowly opening the city gate.

Duan Yi immediately entered the city. The wounded on both sides of the Huangtu Road had already been settled. Looking at the clean land above the market, the gate of the outer gate was also tightly closed. On the wall of the outer city, Three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, it can be said to be heavily guarded.

Many soldiers of the Duan family army went up and down, preparing for the big battle, transporting stones and carrying crossbow arrows to the tower.

Qi Langzhong came out smelling like medicine, saw Gu Mingrui pursing his lips, and said to him, "Since he is not dead, what are you doing in a daze? Is it possible that the old man should be a filial son to your grandfather?"

"Look at all of you smelling like moss. If you don't know, you might think that you have rolled in some gutter. Aren't you aggrieved? Are you ashamed? After eating and drinking enough, you look like a human being. Take your guns and let's go tonight It's time for revenge."

After Qi Langzhong finished talking about Gu Mingrui, he turned to the Jiannan Army soldiers behind him.

He has lived in Jiannan for many years, almost everyone in the army does not know him, Qi Langzhong just doesn't speak, just that old face is full of sarcasm!A single look made people jump in anger, not to mention his unscrupulous ridicule.

The aggrieved soldiers of the Jiannan Army were shy and angry one by one. They stared at Qi Langzhong, and then stared at the gate of the outer city. Their eyes almost burned a hole in the gate of the city. .

"Back to camp!" Gu Mingrui's lieutenant general yelled, gnashing his teeth.

The soldiers behind them stretched their necks in unison, and uttered a word, "Kill!"

The birds on the tower were startled by the angry voice, fluttered their wings and screamed a few times, and flew towards the setting sun, leaving only a few light feathers, which slowly fell down.

Qi Langzhong didn't say any more, and pointed towards the medical hall, seeing Gu Mingrui running in quickly, walking towards Duan Yi.

"The one surnamed Huang has already been beheaded, and he is kneeling in front of the city gate together with that Duohuai's body. This kind of traitor is the most hateful, and he should be hacked into pieces! The scouts came to report, and Duozan had received the news. There are signs of a breakout attack."

"I have arranged and deployed according to what we thought of on the way here."

Duan Yi nodded, thinking about what Qi Langzhong said to the Jiannan Army earlier, "Sir, do you want to use offense instead of defense and ask Gu Mingrui to take the lead?"

Practitioner Qi stroked his beard with a smile, "Old Langzhong sees patients get angry, how can he not give them a good prescription to relieve the fire?"

He said, looking at Duan Yi, "You have fought a lot of battles along the way. Compared with defending the city, the Duan family army is better at attacking the city. How can we hide in the city when the enemy comes?"

"Zan you didn't fight against him that day, so don't be careless. He is the regent, known as the god of war, and he is the undisputed commander-in-chief of soldiers and horses in the enemy country. His weapon is also a long spear, and he is born with extraordinary strength. "

"The reason why Yansang is loved by him is firstly because he was a descendant, and secondly because he inherited his ability to draw a big bow that others can't draw."

"However, Yansang is young and naive, and you injured his left shoulder, which affects his bow and arrows. It is nothing to be afraid of. Rizan is different. He is a deep-minded person, and he is scheming. Otherwise, he would not be there. There is such a position on the west side."

Obviously, during the period when Duan Yi was going to rescue Gu Mingrui, Qi Lang was not idle.

"This time Ri Zan came here with his troops, not only bringing three sons, but also four generals, one of whom is a descendant of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the legendary Chen Zhongyuan."

Duan Yi was not surprised, she had been at the border for many years and knew the enemy's general very well.

Speaking of which, Chen Zhongyuan was a confidant of Emperor Zhou in the past, and Emperor Zhou was worried that the Gu family would dominate in the middle of Sichuan and monopolize the military exploits, so he appointed Chen Zhongyuan to be the deputy general, who was called a helper but actually monitored.

But what happened later was incomparably outrageous.
