Chapter 161: So angry that he can't eat

When Gu Heyan said these words, Mu Zhiming was still very happy that he could use the Sun Hunting and Moon Hunting Crossbow without a teacher, so when Gu Heyan finished his words, his smile didn't have time to restrain, and he directly Stiff in the face.

The twilight was all around, and the sky was gradually darkening. There was no one else in the huge courtyard except them. The two of them were silent, so quiet that they could hear the rustling of the leaves of the green camphor trees.

Mu Zhiming took a long time to recover, looked at Gu Heyan, and said in a low voice, "The situation of the war?"

"Well." Gu Heyan nodded, "The imperial court intercepted the secret order of the Xirong clan, and they are recruiting troops to buy horses, intending to raise troops to invade the Jin Dynasty and **** the town. Now that spring and summer are coming, the northwest grasslands are full of food and horses, and they are indeed the ones who sent troops. good time."

It was rare for him to say so many words, but Mu Zhiming was in a trance. He frowned lightly, and it took a long time before he said, "Leave tomorrow?"

Gu Heyan: "Go to Luodu Camp first, and leave immediately after the army is assembled."

Mu Zhiming: "Northwest Frontier?"

Gu Heyan: "Yes."

Mu Zhiming: "Then...then you...you...I..."

He faltered for a while and said something he didn't know why, then calmed down and kept his mouth shut.

The separation came too suddenly, and Mu Zhiming was not mentally prepared.

Previously, the word 'General Gu' was just a title for Mu Zhiming, and this title might carry an unreal glory and power.

But at this moment, the word suddenly turned into a blunt knife that pierced Mu Zhiming's chest. Just thinking about it without having to pronounce it made Mu Zhiming feel heartbroken.

"Do I have to leave tomorrow?" Maybe it was unwilling, maybe it was to confirm, Mu Zhiming repeated this question again.

"Yes." Gu Heyan didn't ask why he asked again, but answered seriously.

Mu Zhiming frowned, lowered his head and muttered, "This is too hasty."

Gu Heyan: "War is impermanent, so you need to prepare as soon as possible."

Mu Zhiming bowed his head and was silent for a moment, then paced in front of Gu Heyan, suddenly reaching out and hugging him. Mu Zhiming's arms were tightly wrapped, and he was almost buried in Gu Heyan's arms, his hands firmly grasped the clothes behind him, making Gu Heyan unable to move, Mu Zhiming's voice was muffled: "I still If I don't remember the past, you are going to leave, and after you leave, I can't remember it even more."

Gu Heyan was speechless, he wrapped his left hand around Mu Zhiming and patted Mu Zhiming's back soothingly.

"Can you tell me about the things we used to get along with?" Mu Zhiming said, "I want to hear it."

Gu Heyan nodded: "Okay."

So that night Xinghe was a clear dream, and the vast cold was hanging in the air, and Mu Zhiming lay in Gu Heyan's arms, quietly listening to him from falling into the water to save each other to the eve of the big wedding.

Mu Zhiming thought about how to say goodbye to Gu Heyan tomorrow, and gradually fell asleep.

What Mu Zhiming never expected was that Gu Heyan had lied to him.

Gu Heyan said that he would only leave tomorrow, but when Mu Zhiming woke up, Gu Heyan had already left the capital without leaving a word.

Except for the Moon Hunting Crossbow that Mu Zhiming asked Qianji Pavilion to repair, Gu Heyan didn't bring anything.

That was the only time Gu Heyan deceived Mu Zhiming.

It was also the only time Mu Zhiming was angry with Gu Heyan.

The enraged Mu Zhiming recklessly rode his horse straight to the Luodu Camp, but was informed by the soldiers of the Luodu Camp that Gu Heyan had left for the northwest overnight. The Rongyan Army of the Luodu Camp was led by Wei Lingyun. Rush to the frontier to join the Rongyan army stationed there.

After Mu Zhiming returned to Mu Mansion, he was so angry that he didn't eat for two days. Even after entering the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in Jiyuezhai, he felt like chewing wax.

Wen Heyin came to persuade: "Master, don't blame General Gu for leaving without saying goodbye, I think he just doesn't know how to say goodbye to you, after all, this is the first time he goes to the battlefield after your wedding, Master, you don't remember the past. , I've only been close to the general for less than a month and I'm so reluctant to part. The general has been in love with you for several years, and how sad he must be to be separated from you."

Mu Zhiming didn't answer, and after a long time he said softly: "Ayin, I'm hungry, you go to the back kitchen to see what to eat, and bring me some."

"Okay." Wen Heyin hurriedly went.

Gu Heyan was less than five days away from the capital, and the Xirong tribe really attacked.

Gu Heyan lived up to expectations and led the Rongyan Army to block the 200,000 iron cavalry of the Xirong tribe from the frontier, making it impossible for them to step into the territory of the Great Jin at all.

But the Xirong people seemed to have come prepared this time, not in a hurry to attack, but suddenly attacked once in a while, and if they couldn't beat them, they retreated to recharge their batteries, and bit by bit, the patience and arrogance of the Rongyan Army were worn away.

The two armies were at odds for a while.

On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, on the Duanyang Festival, Mu Zhiming received a letter from Gu Heyan who was thousands of miles away.

When he received the letter from home, he was holding a wooden carving knife, trying to carve a piece of fine leaf red sandalwood into a talisman. Wen Heyin entered the room and said, "General Gu has a letter." Mu Zhiming's hand shook and the knife cut his finger. Pointed, dark red blood beads rolled on the wood.

Wen Heyin: "Oops!!!"

Mu Zhiming was accustomed to it, he put his ripped finger in his mouth, and said vaguely, "Where is the letter? Show me quickly."

Wen Heyin: "Master, you should bandage your fingers first."

Mu Zhiming nodded, skillfully took out a white porcelain jar, poured the medicinal powder inside onto his fingers, and wrapped it tightly with gauze. It could be seen that his fingers were covered with gauze, and there was hardly a good spot in sight. .

Wen Heyin: "Master, you have already carved five or six pieces of this amulet, why are you still carving it?"

Mu Zhiming: "I'm not satisfied if it's not carved well."

Wen Heyin: "Okay."

Mu Zhiming stretched out his hand: "What about the letter?"

Wen Heyin hurriedly handed the letter to Mu Zhiming.

Mu Zhiming unfolded it and read it word by word, over and over again, carefully and repeatedly.

The paper is full of words, it seems that there are no more than four words, and I miss it.

On this day, in the commander's tent of the Northwest Frontier Barracks, six generals of the Rongyan Army were discussing the recent battle situation with Gu Heyan.

"It's not good for us to continue to drag on." The Vanguard General of the Rongyan Army stood in front of the hanging sheepskin military map and analyzed the current battle situation one by one, "Our military camp is too far away from the nearest town where food is stored, and the delivery will not only be too late. Consumption, and the long journey is always ambushed by the enemy's cavalry, if this continues, sooner or later, it will be stretched due to insufficient rations."

A general of the Melting Flame Army said: "How about retreating a few miles in the direction of the town?"

Another general of the Rongyan Army said: "No, if you retreat, the enemy will definitely pursue, and then this territory will not be able to be preserved."

Everyone was in trouble for a while.

At this moment, the white-haired General Wei Lingyun said: "Since we can't retreat, then we will fight. This month, the Xirong clan has been harassing us, but when we see our full force, we immediately withdraw our troops, making us like fists. To fight cotton, this is their trick, it is better for us to take the initiative to cross the frontier and take their military camp."

Gu Heyan looked up at him: "The enemy's 200,000 iron cavalry, so, it's really an adventure."

Wei Lingyun: "But it's worth a try."

At the end of the discussion, the four generals of the Rongyan Army agreed to take the initiative to attack, and this strategy was secretly formulated.

In mid-May, Wei Lingyun led 100,000 troops into the enemy's hinterland, while Gu Heyan led 10,000 hussars to sneak attack from the side, intending to catch the Xirong clan by surprise.

However, what they didn't expect was that the Xirong people knew their actions like the back of their hands!

The 200,000 Xirong army was divided into three teams.

A team of only 10,000 people attracted the Rongyan army led by Wei Lingyun, making them mistakenly believe that all 200,000 Xirong troops were fighting in the barracks.

A team of 70,000 cavalry went to outflank the 30,000 hussars who surrounded Gu Heyan.

The remaining 120,000 people directly circled back and attacked the almost empty Rongyan army camp.

When Wei Lingyun realized that he was deceived, it was too late, and the military camp fell. The 30,000 hussars led by Gu Heyan were not heard from, Gu Heyan's life and death were unknown, and there were 190,000 Xirong soldiers between the 100,000 Rongyan Army and the Great Jin.

The Dajin frontier is in jeopardy.
