MTL - Dressed As a Consort In Ancient Times-Chapter 48
Marching all the way these few days, Gu Yun knew that Zhang Qi had opinions on her, so she would not take the initiative to find Zhang Qi at ordinary times, so as not to make him think that she was a very troublesome person.
But now that she has arrived at the border, if she stays in the camp all the time, it will be meaningless for her to leave Beijing with the army.
She also wanted to catch the second prince and return to Beijing!
After all, the wife and daughter are still waiting for her to go back.
"But general, the emperor sent me to mean that I can fight together." Gu Yun casually glanced at the topographic map in front of Zhang Qi.
Seeing that she did not listen to persuasion, Zhang Qi became angry, "Young people, don't be too ambitious, and do everything according to your ability. You have never been to the front line, and you don't know how to march and deploy strategies, so don't come to cause trouble for this general." !"
"The general has already sent thousands of troops to chase after him. Within three days, the second prince will definitely be captured! By then, what kind of military achievements the seventh son-in-law wants, as long as it is not too much, this general can help the son-in-law." arrange…"
Gu Yun got a headache when he heard it: "You mean, you have already sent people into the mountain?"
This Qi! He actually sent people into the mountain as soon as he came!
I don't know if it is as he said, the second prince can be successfully captured within three days!
Gu Yun always felt a little unreliable.
Veteran generals like General Gao have been thwarted, but Zhang Qi doesn't pay much attention to it! Aren't you afraid that the second prince, who is about to run out of options, will jump over the wall in a hurry and use the terrain in the mountains to fight back against them? !
According to Zhang Qi, there may be less than 5,000 people left in the camp now.
If the second prince is smarter, avoids the people who enter the mountain, and comes to counterattack the camp...
But Zhang Qi is the coach, and he has dispatched troops to go, so she can't say anything more. I can only remind him to pay attention to the surroundings of the camp.
"Since the general has already dispatched soldiers and horses into the mountain, do you know that there are five thousand soldiers and horses left behind in the camp? If the second prince fights in a roundabout way and besieges the camp, who knows if the soldiers and horses in the camp can resist?"
Zhang Qi felt incredible.
Deputy General Song is leading elite troops to this side from the border, and the troops he sent have already entered the mountain, and will soon surround the Second Prince and the others.
So in such a situation, how can the second prince make a detour down the mountain? !
He waved his hand to Gu Yun: "The son-in-law doesn't know anything about the battlefield. You'd better go back to your tent and have a good rest. If you have nothing to do, this general can ask you to pick two soldiers to serve you..."
The veins on Gu Yun's forehead twitched, and she lowered her brows coldly: "No need."
After dropping these two words, Gu Yun didn't want to say anything more to Zhang Qi, turned around and walked out of the tent.
She knew Zhang Qi looked down on her, but she didn't expect Zhang Qi to humiliate her so much.
Since Zhang Qi doesn't listen to persuasion, she doesn't need to waste time here.
After stepping out of the main tent, she glanced at the sky.
It's already evening, and it won't be long before night falls.
She couldn't stay in the camp, she always felt that things would not be as simple as Zhang Qi expected.
But now she is just playing a false name, she doesn't know anything about the situation, and she doesn't know what to do.
She walked slowly back to the tent, wondering what to do next.
"My son-in-law?" A voice recalled Gu Yun's thoughts.
She raised her eyes and saw that it was Vice General Chen who was left behind by General Gao.
Thinking of his identity, she immediately had an idea.
"My son-in-law thinks the camp is boring?" Deputy General Chen didn't think much of Gu Yun herself, and he didn't think she was a badass.
So aside from his words, his tone is quite respectful.
Gu Yun looked around, and then said in a low voice: "I have something to discuss with Vice General Chen, I wonder if Vice General Chen is free right now?"
Chen Yu had nothing to do, so he also wanted to hear what the seventh son-in-law had to say.
"If you have free time, how about going to the concubine's camp to discuss?"
Gu Yun didn't talk nonsense, and led him to her camp.
…
As soon as the two sat down, Chen Yu
Can't wait to ask Gu Yun: "I wonder if the son-in-law has anything to discuss?"
Gu Yun stared at him for a while, then said softly: "The emperor sent me to accompany the army and allowed me to be a deputy general. I think I should be qualified to dispatch troops and generals?"
Chen Yu didn't expect the Seventh Son-in-law to say this, he opened his mouth, and then nodded.
He planned to hear what the Seventh Son-in-law was going to do first.
Gu Yun tapped the table with her fingertips, and said in a calm voice, "How many people did General Zhang send into the mountain? I should know this, right?"
Naturally, the seventh son-in-law could know this.
Chen Yu stretched out his hand and counted: "General Zhang sent 8,000 troops into the mountain..."
There are actually eight thousand?
So now there are only three thousand soldiers and horses left in the camp?
Knowing this number, Gu Yun felt uneasy again.
If she was the second prince, when she was flanked by front and rear at this moment, she found out that there were only 3,000 soldiers and horses left in the rear camp, she would definitely die and come back to life, lay in ambush in the Serpentine Valley, shoot back her carbine, and rush down the mountain , Maybe he can escape from the 3,000 soldiers and horses at the foot of the mountain.
Thinking of these, she felt that she couldn't drag on any longer.
"If I want to mobilize some people to enter the mountain, I wonder if Vice General Chen might help me?" There was a trace of eagerness in her voice.
Hearing this, Chen Yu looked at her and remained silent.
It stands to reason that it is also possible for Seven Prince Consorts to mobilize some troops. But he is not worried about her...
Helpless, Gu Yun could only briefly express her opinion to Chen Yu.
For a long time, the tent became quiet.
Chen Yu also felt a little unbelievable.
But when he saw Gu Yun's serious face, he didn't look like he was joking, so he felt that perhaps the intuition of the seventh son-in-law might be right.
If the Second Prince really found out that there are only 3,000 soldiers and horses in the camp, he might really put all his eggs in one basket.
The more Chen Yu thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he stood up all of a sudden, "What arrangements does the son-in-law have?"
Seeing that he finally let go, Gu Yun put a big stone down in his heart.
"This matter should be done sooner rather than later. As soon as night falls, I will order five hundred people to follow me into the mountain."
Night is the time when many bugs come out to seek survival.
Thinking about it, the second prince had to fight hard, and he had to wait until nightfall to act.
"Five hundred... is that enough?" Chen Yu was a little puzzled.
What can you do if you only bring five hundred people into the mountain?
Gu Yun didn't explain to Chen Yu anymore, and directly ordered him to order five hundred soldiers and horses to wait for nightfall to follow her into the mountain.
Although Chen Yu couldn't understand it, the seventh son-in-law insisted on this, and there were not many people who wanted it, so he was busy doing it for her.
Gu Yun squeezed the time, waiting for the night to fall.
According to the information disclosed by Chen Yu, Zhang Qi's thinking should be the opposite. He felt that the most rugged road was more likely to hide the second prince's party, so he first used three thousand soldiers to attract the second prince's attention. Pay attention, let the other 5,000 soldiers and horses outflank the Serpentine Valley, and those who beat the second prince will be caught off guard.
It stands to reason that there is no problem with such an arrangement.
But Gu Yun was always uneasy.
Her intuition told her that the second prince who was in the mountains would know about Zhang Qi's arrangement.
So she had to take down the second prince in one fell swoop when he couldn't react.
…
The sun sets and night falls.
Gu Yun was dressed in black, and led five hundred elite soldiers who were also wearing black armor behind him into the mountain silently.
During the day, she had already seen the topographic map in the main tent, and her strong memory let her know how to walk the road in this mountain.
She doesn't bring many people, which is more conducive to advancing at a high speed in the mountains.
All she has to do now is to stop the second prince before he rushes down the mountain.
She ordered two hundred men to quietly set up interceptions at the exit below the Serpentine Valley according to the terrain, and ordered two hundred men and one hundred each to investigate the situation above the Serpentine Valley.
She and the other hundred people silently touched the upper exit of the Serpentine Valley.
When everything is ready,
The valley at night is quiet, only the sound of the wind blowing through the branches and leaves.
Just after midnight, there was a strange movement not far away.
Then the sound got closer and closer, and Gu Yun knew that the second prince's person was coming.
The sound of fighting was already close to his ears, and Chen Yu's eyes widened.
Originally, he just accompanied the seventh son-in-law to visit the mountain. Although he was a little worried, he never thought that the seventh son-in-law's prediction would come true.
But now there is no time to ask more questions, he hurriedly looked at the calm seventh consort, wanting to ask what to do next.
Gu Yun gestured to him, signaling him to keep quiet.
The flames soared into the sky, and the sound of fierce fighting was endless.
From top to bottom, Gu Yun used the moonlight to see the second prince and his party who had already entered the Serpentine Valley, and the troops sent by Zhang Qi were chasing and intercepting them.
It seems that the second prince must have had a hard time along the way, and there seemed to be only three or four thousand people accompanying him to protect him.
It's no wonder that he wants to make a risky move. If he doesn't fight hard, he will really fall into a desperate situation.
Seeing that the second prince and his party were about to rush to the end of the Serpentine Valley, Chen Yu became anxious.
But before he opened his mouth, he saw movement in the woods above both sides of the Serpentine Valley. Many large stones were pushed up, and they were about to fall into the valley!
And the second prince has already arrived at the exit, and now in the Serpentine Valley are the pursuers sent by General Zhang Qi!
Someone set up an ambush above? !
Seeing many boulders being pushed down the mountain with rumbling noises, it didn't take long before they hit the pursuers in the valley who had no time to dodge.
Chen Yu was horrified, he didn't expect the second prince to have such courage, and even sent someone to make arrangements on both sides of the Serpentine Valley in advance? !
Just when he was burning with anxiety, the 200 troops that Gu Yun sent to check up were lucky enough to catch up in time, surrounded him from behind, and killed all those who were still throwing stones.
The second prince heard the commotion on the mountain and looked back. The person he had arranged in advance had already been killed? !
Things were beyond his expectation, he was so panicked that he didn't have time to think any more, so he hurriedly rushed towards Taniguchi with the rest of the people.
However, as soon as his people went out, they bumped into something, and everyone turned on their backs, and then countless arrows shot at them, knocking down another group of people.
The second prince's eyes were shattered, and he hurriedly yelled for the people around him to protect him.
However, in the next moment, arrows with flaming arrows shot into the crowd, and his men and horses rushed towards the not-too-distant exit anxiously regardless of his instructions.
But once again, he was tripped by something unknown by Taniguchi and turned his back...
Time passed little by little, and there were only a thousand people around the second prince who were still stubbornly resisting.
In round after round of attacks, the interception point placed by Taniguchi was broken through, and the second prince was about to rush out.
He didn't have time to care about the pursuers behind him and the people behind him, and he galloped towards the breakthrough opening at the first.
This is the time.
Gu Yun waved his hand and directed the people behind him to rush towards the valley entrance, where they joined the two hundred people waiting there.
Although there were not many people, only 300 people were at the entrance of the valley, there were still pursuers in the valley who had not died under the big rock, forming a pincer attack.
Gu Yun rode on the horse and stared at the embarrassed second prince at a glance.
She made a gesture and rushed over with everyone.
All she has to do now is to capture the second prince alive!
Flexibly avoiding the people surrounding her, she held the pistol, although she was a little unskilled, but still relying on her strong strength, she shot and flew the people surrounding the second prince one by one.
She frowned, smelling the strong smell of blood in the air, and with a sweep, a figure appeared around the second prince.
"Escort, escort!" The second prince, who was in a panic, shouted hurriedly when he saw the cold eyes attacking him.
Gu Yun once again picked up the people around him and landed on his calf, ready to make him fall off the horse, and then capture him alive.
However, just as she took the gun, a person behind the second prince made a sudden move,
Stabbed the second prince across.
The incident happened so suddenly that Jiang Shen didn't have time to react. He waited until blood flowed from the corner of his mouth before he belatedly turned his head to look at the military adviser who had advised him.
He didn't expect that Gu Yun didn't want to kill him, but his people killed him with their own hands.
The second prince, who had been glorious for many years, finally came to an unsatisfactory end.
Seeing this scene in his eyes, Gu Yun was extremely surprised, but he didn't think it was weird.
With ** in hand, she became more and more proficient in using it.
When she wanted to capture the person who had attacked the second prince alive, she saw that person sneered at her, and then wiped her neck with the long sword that had assassinated the second prince.
His plan failed, and he couldn't be caught, only to kill himself.
As soon as the second prince died, the people he led suddenly lost their leaders and retreated steadily. Finally, they were all taken down before dawn.
Dawn breaks and everything settles.
The morning wind gradually picked up, and the wind was full of the smell of blood and burnt flesh.
Chen Yu was disheartened, and was ordering people to count the troops.
When he came to Gu Yun's side, his eyes were filled with admiration, "My son-in-law, the second prince's people have all been taken down."
"Because we arrived in time, the casualties General Zhang sent to the Serpentine Valley were not serious, and there were still 3,000 troops."
Gu Yun was not at ease, she looked into the distance, and asked softly: "Where are the three thousand soldiers who came up the mountain from the other road?"
Hearing this, Chen Yu's heart skipped a beat.
yes! How did he forget these three thousand people? !
After being reminded, he hurriedly ordered someone to check on that road.
The battlefield was cleaned up, and Gu Yun led all the remaining soldiers and horses down the mountain.
In the big camp, Zhang Qi, who had just got up, heard the noise outside before he got dressed.
He frowned, ready to go out and reprimand him.
As soon as he opened the curtain, he saw Vice General Chen coming in front of him with the body of the second prince.
He looked down, was he really the second prince? !
"What's going on here?" How could it be that Chen Yu came back with the second prince's body? What about the people he sent? !
Although he successfully intercepted the second prince, Chen Yu's face was full of grief.
Because before going down the mountain, he got the news.
The 3,000 men who came up the mountain from another road were wiped out, and none of them survived.
After he briefly told Chen Yu about Gu Yun's plan and their actions last night, he couldn't hide his sadness, and then informed Zhang Qi of the annihilation of the three thousand troops.
Hearing this, Zhang Qi turned pale with shock, and hurried to deal with the follow-up.
Once the matter on the border is over, Gu Yun, who has achieved his goal, no longer delays, and bids farewell to Zhang Qi, who is still battered.
Without listening to Zhang Qi's persuasion, Gu Yun got on his horse and drove back towards the capital.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the figure pulled the elder.
Zhang Qi patted his forehead and sighed deeply.
He looked back at Chen Yu, his brows furrowed tightly: "How do I report the achievements of the son-in-law?"
Chen Yu laughed when he heard his words: "How else can I write? Your misjudgment caused nearly 5,000 casualties. Do you still want to take the credit for the son-in-law?"
"If she didn't find out in time, do you think that one of the 8,000 people you sent out will come back?!"
"I participated in the whole process, and I know best what the son-in-law has contributed to. You'd better not try to smooth out your mistakes and take the credit of the son-in-law..."
Hearing Chen Yu's warning, Zhang Qi felt very upset.
But he didn't dare to move Chen Yu, and the soldiers and horses behind him were all from Chen Yu. This was Chen Yu's territory, so he didn't dare to mess around.
After taking a deep breath, he could only admit his failure, honestly reported the truth, and waited tremblingly for the emperor's decision.
…
Hot capital.
Yuhuang received the good news sent by the horse.
After reading ten lines at a glance, his eyes were full of complexity.
His second son, who intended to rebel, died.
Not knowing what it was like in his heart, Emperor Yu slowly put away the good news and passed it on to others.
At the gate of the capital, the Seven Prince Consorts who have made great contributions are greeted.
According to the good news, the seventh son-in-law is eager to return, and has already left for Beijing.
Emperor Yu estimated the time, and thought that Gu Yun would be back in just two days.
as expected.
In the afternoon, Gu Yun, dressed in dust and dust, entered Beijing.
Before she could go back to the Princess Mansion in the future, she was brought into the palace by the people sent by Emperor Yu to wait for her.
All the way to Qianming Hall, she bowed to Emperor Yu who was above her.
Looking at the blue color and bloodshot eyes in her eyes, Emperor Yu knew that she must be busy on the road and didn't have a good rest.
His mind was less complicated.
First, he praised Gu Yun with a lot of scenes, and then slowly asked about what happened on the northwest border.
"... Zhang Qi said that you were wrong because you foresaw that Jiang Shen would know about his arrangement, so you went into the mountain overnight..." Emperor Yu's voice was flat, without any emotion, "Can you tell me, you How was it predicted in advance?"
On the way back to Beijing, Gu Yun thought a lot, among them was the matter that Emperor Yu asked.
She pursed her lips, did not answer first, but asked Emperor Yu: "Father, do you still remember that the second prince sent someone to kidnap the princess?"
Emperor Yu nodded: "Naturally."
Gu Yun went on to say: "At that time, the second prince was busy fleeing, and with the second prince's heart, he probably would not have thought of rescuing his wife and children by robbing the princess... Moreover, the princess was robbed in the imperial garden. The second prince, really still has the ability to steal a person from the palace compound quietly?
The faint voice reached Emperor Yu's ears, his heart was shocked, he squinted his eyes, and looked at Gu Yun who was standing upright below him with unclear meaning: "You mean to say that there is someone else who wants to harm Jianing?"
"Yes, and no." Gu Yun just wanted to return to the princess mansion quickly, so she didn't care what Emperor Yu would think, so she simply stated her guess: "I guess, the second prince's side may have already Someone has been placed to guide him... The matter of the Uncle Anyang's mansion, the matter of the second prince being exposed for hiding the dragon robe, and the matter of the second prince being forced to force the palace overnight, I am afraid that someone is behind the scenes."
"But what that person's purpose is, I can't guess."
"I only know that that person has great hostility towards me. So after learning that I will also go to the border, the person behind may guide the second prince against me..." This is also her guess that the second prince will The reason for leading the sword to take a slant and rush down the mountain to surround the camp.
In the end, Gu Yun thought of the person who pierced the second prince with a sword, so he no longer concealed it, and told Emperor Yu about it.
After hearing this, Emperor Yu was shocked: "You mean, Jiang Shen was actually killed by the people who followed him?!"
After getting a definite answer, Emperor Yu felt a little tired.
He waved to Gu Yun: "Okay, I understand, you go down, Jianing is still waiting for you in the mansion."
