The first daughter is poisonous, the lord goes to bed obediently

Chapter 307 Ambush
The snow peak is towering and majestic, reaching straight into the sky.

Yu Wenjin was furious in his palace, and the precious utensils were thrown to the ground with a "crackling" sound. Madam Yu was on the side, trying to persuade him.

In this battle, he lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the army was forced to retreat to Riyue Mountain, not even daring to take a breath, for fear of attracting the lingering allies around the stronghold.

Gu Jincheng and Cheng Boyu stood in front of him tremblingly, only to hear Cheng Boyu's high-spirited, awe-inspiring rebuke to Gu Jincheng, and listed Gu Jincheng's several crimes.

"Fourth prince, at the beginning, Gu Jincheng vowed that as long as he took that woman hostage, he would be able to threaten the allied forces. Then, he asked me for soldiers who were the best at hiding, and let them ambush around the allied army's barracks. It took a lot of trouble. to kidnap that woman."

"But Lord Yu didn't care about that woman at all, and ordered the allied troops to attack our army."

"At the last moment, Gu Jincheng still insisted on ordering someone to bring the woman back. Then, he had to make a deal with the allied forces and exchange hostages. We won't be defeated in a mess."

"Gu Jincheng is just a lieutenant general. He ignored the commander's orders and made arbitrarily assertive actions when the enemy was in front of him, causing our army to encounter a surprise attack by the enemy."

"Please let the fourth prince allow me to deal with him according to military law!"

After saying that, Gu Jincheng frowned, as if he felt very sad for the defeat of this battle and the harsh military law he was about to face.

After Yu Wenjin heard this, his sharp eyes shifted to Gu Jincheng's face.

He hesitated in his heart, Gu Jincheng was able to place a few pawns around him that even he could barely find, and he had to swallow his anger in the Ningguo Palace for so many years, so he should be a very scheming person.

Such a person, even if he looked down on the coach in his heart, he shouldn't refute the coach's face at such an important moment, insisting on bringing back the hostages, so that he lost his heart.
Thinking about it, Yuwen Jinping asked calmly: "Gu Jincheng, what do you say?"

Madam Yu looked at Gu Jincheng nervously. At this moment, she only hoped that Gu Jincheng would accept his mistake obediently and not offend Yu Wenjin any further.

Gu Jincheng quickly regained his composure. He raised his eyes, his eyes were as calm as a pool of water.

"Let me ask Prince Yuwen a few questions."

Yu Wenjin nodded in acquiescence, and Gu Jincheng asked, "Prince Yuwen, what do you think of General Cheng's combat ability?"

Yu Wenjin replied flatly: "Few people can match."

When Cheng Boyu was praised, he raised his head even higher, and his silver armor shone brightly under the illumination of the palace lantern.

Gu Jincheng continued to ask: "How does that compare to Lord Yu?"

"It's still a little bit worse." Yu Wenjin said truthfully.

Cheng Boyu's face turned pale, but since this was the truth, he agreed by default.

Gu Jincheng asked again: "In terms of resourcefulness, how does it compare with Prince Yu?"

"It's far away." Yu Wenjin didn't even roll his eyes.

Cheng Boyu's face became even uglier, and he didn't want to admit it.

"Since General Cheng can't compete with Prince Yu in martial arts, nor can he compare his thesis with Prince Yu. The two coaches are very different in ability. The result of this battle can't be predicted from the beginning?" Gu Jincheng A warm smile hung on his face, "So, what does this have to do with one more hostage or one less hostage?"

"If General Cheng puts all the responsibility on a hostage, and tries to confuse the public by saying that I didn't obey the commander's order, he will really be the commander of an army in vain."

"It was also my first time on the battlefield. At that time, the situation was urgent. I was too excited. I didn't ask the coach for instructions. I acted according to my own ideas. This is indeed my fault. However, this cannot be an excuse for General Cheng to shirk responsibility .”

"Gu Jincheng, you talk nonsense!" Cheng Boyu pointed at Gu Jincheng angrily.

Yu Wenjin's brows stretched out, indeed, he had predicted the outcome of this battle from the very beginning.

This is not the first time Cheng Boyu and Gu Shiyin have fought against each other. The past few battles have all ended in Cheng Boyu's disastrous defeat.

Cold sweat dripped from Cheng Boyu's forehead, he managed to calm himself down, and said earnestly again: "Fourth Prince, if you know who will win from the beginning, then why do you want to fight this battle? The army took advantage of it?"

"Even if Gu Jincheng dismisses me as worthless, no matter how nicely he speaks, it is just to excuse himself. No matter what, it is a fact that Gu Jincheng disobeyed the military order. If he does not follow the military order, he may not be able to convince the public in the future."

"Okay, Gu Jincheng is at fault, but it's not as serious as you said." Yu Wenjin locked Gu Jincheng's eyes, looked at Gu Jincheng's eyes as calm as water, and said, "Gu Jincheng, since you know your mistake, Just go down later and go to receive the punishment yourself."

He didn't want Gu Jincheng to say the next thing.

"Yes." Gu Jincheng said solemnly, and stepped back slowly.

Looking at his back, Yu Wenjin thought in his heart that Gu Jincheng seemed to be more dangerous than he imagined. It seemed that he needed to take away all of Gu Jincheng's commanding authority, leaving Gu Jincheng only as a lieutenant general.

Cheng Boyu expressed disbelief, is this the end?
Madam Yu was worried, and after everyone in the palace retreated, she slowly came to Gu Jincheng and whispered: "Jincheng, you are so good at guessing Yu Wenjin's mind, it is very dangerous for you."

"If you still want to enter the Ningguo Palace and let your father watch your throne be taken away by you, at this juncture, try to keep a low profile."

Yu Wenjin did not let the news of Emperor Changde's death reach Mrs. Yu's ears, because at this time, Mrs. Yu still wanted Gu Ziheng to spend the rest of her life in regret.

Gu Jincheng's eyes darkened, and then he smiled slightly, "Okay, concubine mother, I will remember your teachings."

After finishing speaking, he stepped down the golden and jade steps, catching a dead leaf that fell lightly in his palm, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on his lips instantly.

The allied forces stationed at the foot of Riyue Mountain had at least 40 soldiers and horses. It was not advisable to devote all their troops at once to defeat so many people.In contrast, it is better to disperse the forces of the allied forces and adopt methods of defeating them individually.

In this battle, Yu Wenjin didn't choose an elite team, and he didn't intend to win at all. He just wanted to create an illusion that victory was in sight for his opponents, lead them into the hinterland of Riyue Mountain, disperse them, and use them again. Riyue Mountain's terrain advantages and elite troops created an ambush.

Gu Jincheng thought, thinking, he almost told Yu Wenjin's thoughts just now, Yu Wenjin should be more wary of him and take away his only little commanding power.

However, just accept it.

*
Since the enemy troops retreated to Riyue Mountain, they hid in their stronghold for several days and did not come out.

The Allied forces sent soldiers one after another to go deep into the Riyue Mountains, looking for traces of the enemy and taking precautions against various agencies.

However, a few days later, the enemy army was still playing hide-and-seek with them, neither showing up nor raising the flag to surrender.

Among them, many people thought that the enemy army was afraid, but they were still stubbornly resisting.

The spies kept sending news back to the army, and the generals from all walks of life asked Gu Shiyin for instructions. The enemy never showed up, and the allied army always sent people to look for them at Riyue Mountain. See if there are any changes.

What Gu Shiyin gave was to continue to strengthen the transfer of people from the hinterland of Riyue Mountain.

In the middle of the night, Gu Shiyin turned on the lamp, leaned over the desk, and checked the topographic map of Riyue Mountain. His face was still calm and composed.

Feng Xihe came over, took off his cloak, and sat quietly beside him.

Seeing that he was busy, she didn't ask any more questions, but narrowed her eyes and dozed off beside him for a while.

Not long after, Gu Jinyuan lifted the curtain and walked in.

Gu Jinyuan lowered his voice and said, "Uncle Yuhuang, I found an ambush at Jiaofeng in the west of Riyue Mountain."

Gu Shiyin carried Feng Xihe to the couch, covered her with the quilt, and nodded slightly.

As early as when he was duel with Cheng Boyu, he felt strange, whether Yu Wenjin had too much confidence in Cheng Boyu, or what, he actually let a defeated subordinate come to face him.

Later, the enemy army retreated back to the Riyue Mountain, where the usual haunts were usually in some dangerous ravines and valleys. He knew that Yu Wenjin wanted to lure the enemy to go deep, and then used various methods of defeating them, so that they were out of reach.

Since Yuwen Jin was full of plans, they simply continued to send people into Riyue Mountain, pretending to search for traces of the enemy, but in fact, they knew the route to Yuwen Jin's lair.

When the time comes, they will break into Yu Wenjin's palace and capture Yu Wenjin. When the time comes, the enemy will have no choice but to capture him.

As soon as Yuwenjin fell into the hands of the Allied forces, Xia Guo on the northwest border would obediently see the situation clearly and surrender.

Gu Shiyin discussed with Gu Jinyuan for half the night.

At dawn, after Gu Jinyuan left, Gu Shiyin came to the side of the couch and lay down beside Feng Xihe without even taking off his clothes.

In his sleep, Feng Xihe's brows were tightly furrowed, as if he had a nightmare.

Gu Shiyin frowned slightly, and silently reached out to smooth her brows.

At this time, the horn sounded suddenly, and Gu Shiyin immediately pulled himself together, turned over and got up from the couch.

Accompanied by the sound of the horn, there seems to be singing.

Gu Shiyin listened and frowned.

"Ziyu!" When Gu Shiyin turned his back to Feng Xihe, Feng Xihe suddenly opened his eyes, and her fingers caught his broad hand.

Gu Shiyin turned his head back, a smile spread from the corners of his eyes.

"Good boy, this king will come back to see you soon. You promised that this king will take good care of yourself and your child. Don't break your promise, understand?"

"I..." Feng Xi and her lips parted slightly, the ambush set up by Yu Wenjin might not be that simple, she was always in fear.

After a night, she didn't fall asleep at all.

Gu Shiyin said in a wide voice: "Let's do this, I will go back as soon as I go. At this stage, I can't take you for a walk. There is only Jiuqu Linglong Pagoda at the foot of Riyue Mountain. I will take you to the pagoda." How about the view?"

"When the war is over, you can go wherever you want."

Coaxing her to go to such a bloody place was really not what he had in mind, but he couldn't think of any other place near Riyue Mountain.

Feng Xihe was stunned. Although the Jiuqu Linglong Pagoda is Gu Shiyin's private prison, all dissidents and enemies he wants to eliminate will be sent here and tortured. living hell.

However, that was the place where she died tragically in her previous life, and she should have been unwilling to face it again.

But every time she dreamed back at midnight, she would often hear a man in red whispering in her ear just like before she died in her previous life.

This has become a knot in her heart that cannot be untied. Perhaps, she really has to go back to the Jiuqu Linglong Pagoda to find the answer.

"Okay." She smiled.
