Died In Infancy! My Wife Is Actually A Villain

Chapter 214 Arriving At Mobei Military Camp

Half a month later, Gu Chen has arrived at Beihuang City in the north. The large army will rest in the city for one day before leaving for the overseas military camp tomorrow.

In the mansion, Gu Chen looked at Nangong Qian in front of him and asked lightly: "Have you always been in the city?"

Nangong Qian immediately bent down respectfully, "Your Majesty, there are many people from the court in the overseas camp. The Sixth Prince was also worried that my identity would be exposed, so he asked the official to return to Beihuang City."

Gu Chen added: "You have been with Gu Tianming these days, is there anything strange about him?!"

Nangong Qian said: "In the past six months, the war in the north and Mobei has intensified. The sixth prince has spent most of his time away from home, and has rarely even contacted people in Kyoto."

Seeing that Nangong Qian couldn't ask any questions, Gu Chen was too lazy to continue talking nonsense to him and directly asked him to leave.

The next morning, Gu Chen took the 150,000 soldiers deployed to the overseas military camp.

It has to be said that the climate in the north is much harsher than that in Kyoto, with heavy snowfall, howling cold wind, and biting cold.

Even wearing a thick fleece jacket, it's still a bit chilling, and it's not even December yet.

Compared with the Mobei people, the officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were obviously not very adaptable to this cold climate. Even Gu Chen's current team had a few people suffering from syncope and physical discomfort.

It was not until late that the army arrived at the Da Zhou military camp. Zhao Tai learned about Gu Chen's arrival and prepared wine and meat in the camp early to warm him up.

In the camp, a group of soldiers sat on the ground, eating wine and meat to welcome Gu Chen's arrival.

The moment he saw Gu Chen, Gu Yongyi's face showed unconcealable joy, and he said happily: "Haha, Brother Ninth, you are finally here. I thought you would stay in Kyoto to accompany your sister-in-law!"

When Gu Tianming, who was sitting opposite, saw Gu Chen enter the tent, his eyes stayed on him for a few more seconds, and then he silently withdrew his gaze.

At this time, Zhao Tai also invited: "Prince Zhuang, sit here!"

Gu Chen nodded, sat down next to Gu Yongyi as the other party said, and then looked at everyone present, "Everyone, I wonder what the situation with Mobei is now?"

Now that he has arrived in the north, he naturally has to solve all the foreign troubles in Mobei before he has a chance to return to Beijing.

Asking more about the situation will also allow him to understand the situation here faster.

Yang Wu turned to look at Gu Chen opposite, and said calmly: "The queen should be in power in Mobei now. The army in Mobei has camped ten miles ahead and may lead troops to attack at any time. In terms of military strength, the Great Zhou Dynasty There are less than 600,000 soldiers and horses now, and there are at least 900,000 soldiers and horses in Mobei."

Gu Chen raised his eyebrows and didn't answer much.

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty has lost a lot of soldiers and horses in the past few months, compared with the original plot, this time the Great Zhou Dynasty at least intercepted the Mobei Iron Cavalry outside the country and did not allow them to capture the city and cause the death of the people in the northern region. .

Moreover, in these months of battles, Mobei also suffered a lot of damage.

Therefore, judging from the current situation, Dazhou does not suffer a big loss.

After that, Gu Chen asked about some other matters in the military camp, and told Zhao Tai about the cold-proof materials brought from Kyoto, and asked him to distribute the things to the soldiers below.

....

Mobei camp.

A stove was lit in the camp, and the queen was sitting on the throne, wrapped in a piece of sheepskin velvet. The fifth prince He Lianqing, who had just entered the room with sharp eyes, asked: "How is the investigation going?"

He Lianqing immediately bent down, put a hand on his chest, and said respectfully: "Back to mother, according to the child's investigation, today another group of no less than 100,000 troops went to the Great Zhou Army Camp. This group The army was probably deployed from Dingdu, the great capital of Zhou Dynasty."

The queen frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "The king's biggest wish during his lifetime was to go south and keep the people of Mobei away from the current harsh environment. For this reason, the king has been recharging his energy and gathering troops, horses, and food over the years, just for the sake of one day. Japan can lead the soldiers of Mobei on an expedition south. Although the king has passed away now, as his most important relatives, we should inherit his will and seize the land in the south. "

He Lianqing said: "Mother, the Zhou army is not weak now. If we attack forcefully, even if we win, we in Mobei will lose a lot of soldiers. It is probably very unrealistic to think about going south."

Although the current military strength of Dazhou is not as good as that of Mobei, if there is such a head-on confrontation, Mobei will definitely be injured, causing the death of countless Mobei soldiers.

By that time, they would have no capital to attack the city again.

This is also the reason why He Lianqing led the Great Zhou Dynasty to have fewer troops than Mobei, but was still unwilling to go to war with the opponent.

Because he needed to devour all the 600,000 soldiers of Zhou Dynasty with the minimum force before he could have the confidence to continue attacking the city.

Otherwise, the plan of the southern expedition will have to be abandoned.

The queen nodded, and then said: "Of course I know this, and I will not let our Mobei soldiers deliberately commit suicide. However, we should continue to think of countermeasures early, and we cannot continue to be in this stalemate with Da Zhou."

"Yes." He Lianqing nodded and said in agreement.

The last time he designed Zhao Tai and his party, in addition to gaining the queen's trust, he also hoped to capture Zhao Tai, the commander-in-chief. In this case, Dazhou has no backbone, and the situation there will inevitably be chaotic.

It's a pity that the other party is also wary of him and has a backup plan.

Except for killing one forward general, almost all the other generals ran away, and Zhao Tai naturally did not catch him.

The queen couldn't think of anything to pay attention to when she saw it, and then she told He Lianqing: "Okay, you go back first."

"My son, please retire."

He Lianqing immediately stood up and left the room respectfully.

Just when He Lianqing walked out of the tent, the seventh prince He Lianyao happened to walk over, and the two of them bumped into each other.

He Lianyao looked at He Lianqing with fear on his face, and asked in a calm voice: "What does fifth brother want from my mother?"

Since the battle at Quecang Mountain, the other party has completely gained the queen's trust. Even his son, who often accompanies the queen, is not allowed to do anything to the other party.

It can be seen that He Lianqing's position in the Queen's mind is no worse than his own.

He Lianqing smiled slightly and asked, "Why did the seventh brother come to see the queen?"

"Of course I have important things to tell the queen, so how can I tell you something important?" Helianyao said slightly angrily.

He Lianqing smiled and said, "The king also has important things to tell the queen. It is not convenient to inform the seventh brother."

"you!"

He Lianyao stretched out his finger and glared at He Lianqing with gritted teeth, "Don't think that you can gain the queen's trust by doing a little thing. Let me tell you, in front of me, you, the king, are still nothing!"

"hehe."

He Lianqing sneered, stopped talking to him, and walked directly past him.
