First Lady of the Crown Prince Chapter 827

Chapter 827 Black Wind Iron Cavalry! (Second update)

The Nangong family is using the prophecy of the National Master's Palace to clear obstacles for themselves. It has to be said that this trick seems to be nothing new, but it is very effective.

 In ancient times, it was the safest way to initiate an uprising in the name of Heaven.

 The husband is a boat, and the man is water. Water can carry a boat or capsize it.

 Never underestimate the power of people's hearts.

Shangguan Yan's gaze passed over the veteran general Wang Man and landed on Wei Junting's face: "What do you think, General Wei?"

Wei Junting said solemnly: "The Nangong family has taken the lead. If this continues, we will lose more cities. It's easy for them to grab it, but it will be difficult for us to take it back."

 Border cities are very particular. They are supposed to prevent foreign enemies from invading. They are easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Coupled with the fact that the Nangong family's army is waiting for work, their combat power will definitely be even greater.

Shangguan Yan looked at Gu Jiao again: "What do you think, Commander Xiao?"

Gu Jiao looked at the map on the table and pointed to the west of Yanmen Pass: "Liang's defenders have advanced a hundred feet to the border and have already crossed the border. The reason why they have not broken through Yanmen Pass yet is because their troops are not strong enough. . They are just like us, and the imperial army is on the way. We must seize the opportunity and recapture Quyang before Liang's imperial army reaches the border!"

Shangguan Yan nodded in agreement.

Wang Man snorted disdainfully: "I'm a kid, who would think of such a simple method? Why do you think I didn't say it?"

Gu Jiao thought seriously: "Are you scared?"

 “Yellow-mouthed kid!” Wang Man slapped his palm on the table and stood up.

Wei Junting quickly stood up and stopped him: "General Wang! General Wang! Calm down your anger! Calm down your anger!"

Shangguan Yan glanced at Wang Man calmly and said, "General Wang, are you going to use force in front of Gu?"

How dare you scare me from kissing my daughter-in-law? I'm tired of living!

Wei Junting continued to be the peacemaker: "Commander Xiao is joking with General Wang. General Wang has a lot of people, so don't argue with the juniors."

 “Humph!” Due to the presence of the concubine, Wang Man got to the next step, but he still came down reluctantly.

 The two of them sat back on their cushions.

Shangguan Yan knows Gu Jiao well. Gu Jiao doesn't talk nonsense. The fact that she can bring it up proves that she already has a plan in mind.

However, Wang Man was not wrong, this strategy did have its unfeasibility.

Shangguan Yan pointed at the map and said: "We are here now. If we want to rush to Quyang City, it will take a month if we rush to march, and it will take more than 20 days of forced march. And Liang Guo's army is not that far from the border, they are less than two It can be reached in ten days.”

Gu Jiao said: "According to the speed of the entire army, it is indeed impossible to catch up, but the Black Wind Cavalry can. The Black Wind Cavalry can reach Quyang in only half a month."

Shangguan Yan was slightly startled: "You want to march by force?"

It is true that the cavalry can move faster than the infantry, but in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the horses, they cannot ride too fast. The rapid march will take twenty days or half a month... which must overdraw the physical strength of the horses.

“No, let's march urgently.” Gu Jiao pointed to the map and said, “It's a straight line from the mountains of Liuzhou to Feng County in Quyang!”

Wang Man said dissatisfied: "That mountain range is very dangerous! No army has ever walked through it!"

 I walked through.

 Gu Jiao said in her heart.

 In the dream, Xuanyuan's army spent a lot of money to cross that mountain range.

 Not this time, she knows how to avoid those dangers.

Wang Man cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness! This matter is no small matter! I don't care what means he used to take the position of commander of the Black Wind Cavalry, but fighting is no child's play. He can't let the entire Black Wind Cavalry just rely on his own assumptions. Fengying was destroyed in his hands!"

 After all, the Black Wind Battalion is the most powerful combat force on their side!

If this guy doesn't know how to take command, just replace him with someone else!

 Don't waste such good combat resources!

Shangguan Yan turned to look at Gu Jiao: "Are you sure?"

Mu Qingchen's eyes moved slightly.

It was as if the princess' trust in Gu Jiao could be heard.

 This confused him.

 “I'm sure.” Gu Jiao said firmly.

Shangguan Yan nodded: "That's good."

 Wang Man's expression changed: “Your Highness!”

Shangguan Yan said: "Gu has made up his mind. General Wang does not need to persuade him anymore. All consequences will be borne by Gu."

Having said that, Wang Man had no idea if he wanted to stop her. He couldn't draw his sword and force the princess to change her mind.

"snort!"

He stood up, put one hand behind his back, and patted the outside of his thigh twice with the other hand to vent his dissatisfaction, and then walked away with a cold face!

Gu Jiao looked straight at him.

"You are simply making fun of the battlefield! Xiao Liulang is like this, and so is the concubine! I really don't know how your majesty would send a female to go on the battlefield on his behalf! There is no prince in the royal family! King Li, King Xu, and King En, who are no better than a useless person? It's such a strong woman's life!”

Wang Man said this only after he left the camp.

 But the people in the camp have good ears.

Wei Junting smiled awkwardly.

Shangguan Yan's expression did not change much. She said to Wei Junting: "Please step back. If you have anything to say, please speak to Commander Xiao."

"Yes, I'll leave at the end." Wei Junting stood up, bowed, turned around and left the camp.

Mu Qingchen also wanted to get up.

Shangguan Yan said, "Mu Qingchen, please stay. I have something to tell you."

 Half an hour later, Mu Qingchen and Gu Jiao came out of Shangguan Yan's tent.

　　It was completely dark at this time. The soldiers made a fire and cooked dinner on the spot. After eating, they rested when it was time to rest and patrol when it was time to patrol.

 The two of them were walking on the path in the middle of the camp.

Master Hu came up to us: "Sir! Have you had dinner? I left some steamed buns for you!"

"I've eaten it," Gu Jiao said, "Leave it for me to eat tomorrow morning."

Master Hu was stunned: "Ah, yes."

 Where can you eat? Can't I eat this by myself?

Mu Qingchen frowned and looked at Gu Jiao: "I really can't understand you more and more."

Gu Jiao glanced at him strangely: "You don't have to understand me."

Mu Qingchen was so choked by her that he was probably used to it.

While walking side by side with her, he said, "I apologize to you about Nangong Li."

Although the fact that the Nangong family colluded with the prince and framed the real emperor's eldest grandson has not been announced to the world, as the legitimate son of one of the top ten aristocratic families, he has heard a little bit about it.

It's just that he didn't know that the emperor's eldest grandson was Xiao Heng, and he really thought he was Shangguan Qing.

 Gu Jiao: “Oh.”

Mu Qingchen said with shame: "Did you kill Nangong Li because you discovered his conspiracy? Forget it, it's not important anymore. Because of this incident, I misunderstood you as someone with ulterior motives. It was my fault."

 Gu Jiao actually didn't care about his misunderstanding, but he apologized so sincerely. If he didn't say anything, he would probably keep saying it.

Gu Jiao scratched her head: "I forgive you."

Mu Qingchen smiled slightly, stopped and looked at her: "Then, are we still friends?"

Gu Jiao hesitated for a moment, rolled her eyes, and said with some reluctance: "Yeah?"

 What does it mean?

Mu Qingchen was startled.

Gu Jiao spread her hands and said: "I am your boss now, and superiors and subordinates are insurmountable. You must stick to your duties."

 Mu Qingchen: “…”

Shangguan Yan was worried about his daughter-in-law, so he sent Mu Qingchen, who was supposed to protect her personally, to Gu Jiao, and asked him to go to Quyang with Gu Jiao to attack the city.

 Gu Jiao is the leader.

 He is a little follower.

 Gu Jiao imitated Wang Man's official steps and strode forward, with one hand behind her back and the other hand patting the outside of her thigh impatiently twice.

"snort!"

 Even this hum was not left behind!

 Mu Qingchen: “…”

 The next day it was dark, so Gu Jiao ordered all the Black Wind Cavalry to break camp.

 Shangguan Yan originally insisted on going with Gu Jiao, but Gu Jiao refused.

Shangguan Yan had eight vertebrae screws in her back and had to wear armor when traveling. The rapid march of the cavalry would drag her down.

In addition, as a princess, she can gather more local troops along the way. If she doesn't have troops, she can at least buy more food and grass.

 This is a tough battle, and food and grass must be supplied.

Three days before Black Wind Cavalry set out, the weather was okay. On the fourth day, the army encountered a sudden autumn rain. Fortunately, Gu Jiao knew how to watch the stars at night to check the weather and arranged for everyone to take shelter in advance.

On the eleventh day, Black Wind Cavalry arrived at the foot of the Luding Mountains, the largest mountain range in Liuzhou.

 The map is useless at this point.

Since no one has entered this mountain range, there is no detailed map of it.

 Everyone is on standby.

Along the way, their impression of Gu Jiao has changed, but they still have great reservations. In the past, successive commanders of the Han family were more beautiful than Gu Jiao, but so what in the end?

 The Han family rebelled.

They admitted that it was indeed inspiring to re-display the Xuanyuan family's flag.

 But they have been disappointed too many times and have already calmed down from the initial excitement.

Perhaps this is just a way to boost morale.

Who would really fight for the Xuanyuan family?

Even the Nangong family is using the name of the Xuanyuan family to pursue their own selfish interests, isn't it?

Everyone looked at the new commander, waiting for him to continue his mischief.

They wanted to see if the little commander would cry if he was trapped inside and couldn't get out.

Mu Qingchen glanced around and whispered to Gu Jiao, "Well, they don't seem to trust you."

 Gu Jiao: “Oh.”

Gu Jiao said to Mu Qingchen: "We have three days to cross the mountains, and then the entire army will repair for one day. We will attack the city directly without stopping in Feng County."

"Is three days...enough?" Mu Qingchen looked at the endless mountains and thought that she might not be able to get out in thirteen days. It's no wonder that the cavalry didn't trust her classmate. Even he felt that it was quite awkward, okay?

Gu Jiao said: "If it's enough, you'll know when we leave. Boss, let's go!"

This forest is filled with the howls of wild animals, and horses can instinctively sense the danger in the jungle.

However, just as Gu Jiao trusted the Black Wind King wholeheartedly, the Black Wind King also trusted his companions without reservation.

The Black Wind King raised his front hooves, jumped up, easily crossed the six-foot-wide ditch, and stepped into the dense forest without looking back.

Heifengqibaobao No. 1: "The boss is gone."

Black Wind Cavalry Baby No. 2: "Then, one of us will go too?"

The cavalrymen who didn't want to leave said: “...you may not believe it, but my horse has its own ideas.”
