MTL - All Over the World To Save My Wife-Chapter 13 The emperor and his daughter (12)

==============================

As the wife left, the door gradually closed. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the silent hall.

"Shuzi is too much! How dare you challenge me like this?"

"Rouru just vomited! How dare you say this when Your Highness is here?"

"What should I do now?"

"Master Chen, what do you think?"

The old man with a round face and a white beard came to Chen Moxian's side at some point, and looked forward, but asked him a question.

"How does this officer know?"

Chen Moxian lowered his eyes and leisurely picked up the side dishes on the table and stuffed them into his mouth, as if these disturbances could not affect him.

The old man looked disappointed and shook his head, and said no more.

When Gu Zhong arrived at the North Border Pass, the barbarians were in full swing.

A thick layer of ice has formed below, and riding a horse is like walking on the ground.

The group went straight to the central army, lifted the door curtain, and brought a gust of cold wind into the camp. Wei Wuhou was playing the battle between the two sides on the sand table. When he looked up and saw Gu Zhong, he bowed his hands and bent over. It was easy. A gift.

"His Royal Highness! Please don't put on your armor at the end of the day, so you can't do it all."

"It's okay, Lord Hou has worked hard in the army. How is the battle now?"

Gu Zhong quickly stretched out his hands to support the old Wei Wuhou and walked to the sand table.

"The barbarian raids are fierce. Fortunately, the northern army is not slack and responds well, and it has stabilized its position. This battle depends on the command of both sides. The battle is now fierce."

In this way, it is considered that the northern army has an advantage. Beijingguan is not far from Beiling County, and there are official roads in the middle, so the supply of food and grass is not a problem.

Once they are in a hard fight, the first ones who can't hold on are the barbarians, unless they can break through the northern border in a very fast time.

"It's strange to say, this year is very cold, and the entire northern region has encountered a snow disaster that is rare in a century. The situation of the barbarians should be even worse, but the minister just climbed up and waited and watched, the barbarian Kong Wu who raided today Powerful, but it doesn't look like a disaster." Wei Wuhou then reported another matter.

"Master Hou, can you guarantee that the leaders of the Northern Army and the defenders of Beiling County are credible?"

Gu Zhong picked up a few military intelligence reports from the table and scribbled through them, frowning.

"The safety of the northern border is of great importance, and all those stationed in the border are loyal and righteous people who accompany His Majesty to conquer the world, and they should be credible."

Wei Wuhou heard what Gu Zhong meant, and was shocked, "His Royal Highness suspects that someone is colluding with the enemy?"

Afraid of the villain's assassination, the enemy will be attacked. Lord Hou, this Beiling is now in danger, please be careful."

"Marquis, can I watch the battle?"

Ling Yan was silent before, carefully observed the deduction sand table, and suddenly asked.

"Of course it can." Wei Wuhou gave her a puzzled look. This grand master has always been not interested in military affairs, so how can he be interested in watching such battlefields.

Marquis Wei Wu took Ling Yan and Gu Zhong out of the camp and climbed the watchtower. The galloping horses picked up the overwhelming dust.

Ling Yan squinted slightly towards the direction of the battlefield, thinking for a moment, her expression suddenly changed.

"His Royal Highness! Marquis, please leave 20,000 troops to garrison, and the rest to defend Beiling County City. This is a plan to attack the west and surround Wei to save Zhao!"

"What did Mr. see?"

Gu Zhong had never seen her act like this before, and couldn't help but look condensed.

"It's too late to go into details, please ask Your Highness and Marquis to order!"

Seeing Ling Yan's anxious face, out of trust in his husband, Gu Zhong no longer asked the reason, and directly asked Wei Wuhou to order according to Ling Yan's instructions.

After a few breaths, the military defense scheduling has been completed.

While stepping on the horse, Marquis Wei Wu couldn't help but ask.

"Lord Ling may have solved the puzzle at this time?"

"Indeed, it is completely inconsistent with the previous style of desperate struggle. It seems to be preserving strength, and the thunder is heavy and the rain is small..." Wei Wuhou agreed with this.

What's more, it coincides with a catastrophe, and it is really useless to fight such a hasty fight without desperately trying to find a way to survive.

What are they plotting? Just to stop Gu Zhong from investigating the spies of the former dynasty in the city? This battle is really unnecessary. Once the battle is over, it is enough for Gu Zhong to free up his hands to liquidate the chaos.

The real army only has the first line, and the northern army only cares about the defense, has not rushed into the line, and can't see through it for a while. "

Ling Yan is slightly skilled in the art of war, but not as good as Wei Wuhou, but in the past, all the battles with the barbarians were pure force. Couldn't understand their plan.

"It seems that the barbarians have been guided by an expert..." Gu Zhong's face was ugly.

"Before I came to the gate, someone tied a cloth right away."

Ling Yan took out a brocade cloth, a specialty of the North, from her wide sleeves, with bright characters on it, "Tiaohu Lishan, the city is in danger!"

"I can't believe it, let's take a look at the pass. Now it seems that the news is true."

"Even if it is true, if the remaining army of the barbarians wants to attack Beiling County, how should they bypass the Beijing Pass?"

Wei Wuhou still has doubts about Ling Yan's judgment.

Beiling County is surrounded by mountains on three sides, it is difficult to climb, it is a natural barrier to defend against the enemy, only the Northern Army is stationed at the Beijing Pass. attack.

"Does Master Hou know about the avalanche a few days ago?"

Ling Yan lowered her eyes and recalled the sand table she just saw in the military camp of Wei Wuhouzhong.

"The day His Highness was assassinated?"

Marquis Wei Wu frowned, obviously not thinking that the avalanche would have anything to do with the barbarian invasion.

"The snow accumulation under the Avalanche Mountain is nearly 20 feet deep. I wonder if Marquis remembers the terrain trend in the east? I just saw a strange terrain landscape on the terrain sand table, winding from the east Enter Beiling County.

Only the passage here is usually narrow and low, and the bottom is full of naturally formed stalagmite barbs that are as high as people, extremely hard, and the tops are all cliffs, which are not accessible to people. If you are unfortunate enough to fall here, unless you have an indestructible body, you will have to be pierced and chilled.

If I remember correctly, this terrain will lead to one of the lower counties under the jurisdiction of Beiling County, Qingshui County, which is only half a day's walk from Beiling County..."

No one could have predicted that one day, the natural dangers would become smooth, and no one would think like Ling Yan, but if it was true as she said, Beiling would be in danger!

The person who made the layout is also a talented person and has many plans. If there were no two accidents of Ling Yan and Chen Moxian, Gu Zhong would have already died.

In the beginning, it was Chen Moxian who saved Gu from the crisis, turned the tide, and finally won the trust of his wife.

Since he came to Beiling, Chen Moxian has done nothing and has no intention of taking any action. Instead, he indirectly saved Gu Zhong's life.

If it is self-directed and self-acted, just to win the trust of care, it is too hard and sacrifices a lot.

Even if this person wanted to brush his face in front of Gu Zhong at first, his expression was to make himself a competent minister, but after Gu Zhong touched a few lukewarm soft nails , It seems that he has also stopped thinking about it, and he hasn't turned around in front of Gu Zhong for a long time.

The cloth, somehow, Ling Yan thought that Chen Moxian had placed it. Only those who know the layout plan can issue such an early warning.

In response to all these strange images, Ling Yan is more inclined to have factional disputes in the chaotic parties of the previous dynasty.

Now it seems that Chen Moxian, the so-called former prince, seems a little aggrieved and has no right to speak. He cannot prevent the implementation of the plan, but can only undermine it.

For example, the matter of saving Gu Zhong, and the matter of warning, should be just Chen Moxian's own opinion.

Unfortunately, because of Ling Yan's existence, she could have paid attention to her favoritism, but she made a wedding dress for her.

There is no doubt that even if it seems that Chen Moxian is on their side now, his identity as a chaotic minister and thief who intends to subvert the current dynasty will not change.

He should also have his own plan, and taking care of himself is the most important part of it. He must not die in the north now.

Only now, there are many things he can't control.

It must be a lot easier to clean up.

No one thought of defending the barbarians from the south, and the night was the best cover for sneak attacks.

The soldiers on the city wall who had just changed their defenses were still reminiscing about the braised pork for dinner, which was stewed for him by his daughter-in-law when he was working the night shift today.

A hook came silently from behind, and before he could react, he was hooked to his head.

None of the guards at the East City Gate had time to send out the whistle of the enemy attack, and all of them were killed in silence.

The city gate was opened from the inside to welcome the iron hoofs of the barbarians.

"Children! Go ahead! Gold, silver, wine, and women are waiting for us!"

The ivory horn of the attack was blown, and the barbarians like tigers, leopards and wolves rushed into the city with machetes, burning, killing and looting.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Barbarians! Barbarians!"

"How did they get in?"

"Where's the North Army?!"

"Quick! Report to the Sheriff!"
