Chapter 152: Helping the people save the people from the fire and water, hoping to relieve the surna
For a whole month, in the eyes of others, she let go of Zhou Ziyan, but they didn't know that she clutched the jade pendant and fell asleep every night.
During this time, she has been secretly planning how to subvert the Nalan Kingdom.
If she were to reach Nalan Kingdom as a Helian national, it would be extremely difficult and dangerous, and it would be even more difficult for her to get in touch with the powerful people in Nalan Kingdom.
Even if you are lucky enough to come into contact, it is difficult to gain trust.
Thinking of this, Meng Ying decided to adopt a roundabout tactic and not go directly to Nalan Country to avoid exposing her true purpose.
She chose to go all the way south, first to Lingjiang Country, which was adjacent to Helian.
Lingjiang Kingdom is not only adjacent to Helian, but also adjacent to Nalan Kingdom.
After arriving in Lingjiang, she went to Nalan as a Lingjiang native, so that she would be difficult to detect.
With the purpose of subverting Nalan, Meng Ying and Zi Su disguised themselves as men and set off.
Needless to say, the journey was full of displacements and hardships.
As a woman, after spending two years perfecting her accent to be the same as that of a native of Lingjiang, when she stepped into the realm of Nalan, she met a person who changed her life.
This person’s name is: Zhan Cangxue!
......
Time goes back to the day when Deputy Chen escorted Zhou Ziyan to leave Taiping City.
After they left, Gu Wangshu, He Lianhuan, Gu Jingli and Gu Jingyi went back home and entered the study.
Gu Wangshu suppressed his grief, shook off all the chaos in his mind, and forced himself to stay calm.
There is no immortality in war.
Only by winning this battle can more sacrifices be reduced. In order not to let Zhou Ziyan's sacrifice be in vain, the Nalan army must be completely defeated.
His bloodshot eyes stared at Gu Jingli and Gu Jingyi, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Fifth brother, sixth brother, weren't you guarding the border with your grandfather in Mobei? Why did you come here suddenly?"
The two brothers have not yet gotten over the grief of losing their best friend.
After hearing Gu Wangshu's question, Gu Jingli pretended to be calm and explained in a hoarse voice.
"We are indeed at the Mobei border pass, but after the news of the Nalan Army's capture of Taicang Pass reached Mobei, my grandfather ordered me, my sixth brother, and Xi to lead an army of [-] to come to support. I never thought. .....I never thought..."
Having said this, Gu Jingli couldn't continue, his whole face filled with grief and resentment.
Gu Jingyi calmed down and then explained.
They set off almost at the same time as He Lianhuan and Gu Wangshu.
When He Lianhuan and Gu Wangshu arrived in Taiping City, Gu Jingli and Gu Jingyi also arrived in Jianning City.
As soon as they arrived, they faced a hundred thousand Nalan troops attacking the city.
Defending a city will always have an advantage over attacking it.
The siege was very brutal, and [-] people versus [-] people had no chance of winning.
However, neither Gu Jingli nor Gu Jingyi expected that the guard general of Jianning City would surrender to the enemy and open the city gate.
Commander Nalan's army marched straight in to fight with their people. Under such circumstances, Helian's army suffered heavy losses and had no other choice but to abandon the city and flee.
But they still didn't expect that the defenders of the next three cities they arrived would all defect to the enemy and treason.
The cities fell one by one until the city in front of Taiping City. Gu Jingli learned from the past and immediately killed the city guard, executed all the rebels in the city, and led his own people to defend the city.
This was the first time the Nalan Army encountered fatal resistance since they marched straight into Helian territory.
Seeing that the attack could not be taken for a long time, under the psychological trend of eager for quick success, he dispatched another 20 troops and horses, plus the previous [-], a total of [-] troops to attack the city!
Helian's army suffered successive defeats, and its number was already less than [-].
They had to face Nalan's 20 lions again. They tried their best to defend, but still failed to defend the city.
The city was captured, and the Helian Army and the Nalan Army started fighting. It was like an egg striking a stone. They had no choice but to flee eastward again, all the way to Taiping City. The number of troops in this matter had dropped sharply from [-] to less than [-].
In the process of escaping, Zhou Ziyan was unfortunately hit by an arrow. It was Gu Jingli who desperately rescued him from the rebels and dragged him to his horse, running all the way.
Unfortunately, the arrow hit the heart without any deviation, and there was no way to save him.
This is what happened in the past, and it is also the real reason why Gu Wangshu wondered why Nalan's army was so late.
Gu Jingli told her story, unable to control her emotions any longer, crying in her arms.
More than 3 soldiers died unexpectedly, and even Xi Zhidu died due to excessive injuries.
Gu Jingyi also burst into tears.
Gu Wangshu looked at the two of them, tears wet his eyes again.
Concubine Wen came to Helian Kingdom. Although she was in the palace, she tried her best to instigate so many city guards in just three years.
I thought that if she died, Helian Kingdom would be able to secure the city.
I didn't expect that her death would create such a big hidden danger for Helianguo.
This woman's scheming and methods are too terrifying. If she hadn't lived a new life, how could she be worthy of Concubine Wen.
Gu Wangshu's teeth itched with hatred.
Now that things have come to this, there is no point in being sad.
She took a deep breath and exhaled all the turbid air.
"Fifth brother, sixth brother, there is no problem with the sad ending. If you don't want our soldiers to die in vain, then use the blood of the Nalan Army to pay homage to their souls."
The two brothers looked at Gu Wangshu, their eyes blurred by tears and they couldn't see clearly for a while.
They raised their hands and wiped away tears.
The person in front of them was their younger sister. In the impression, her younger sister had always been quiet and quiet, but at this moment, all her gentleness had gone away, and her face was as resolute as a sharp knife unsheathed.
Gu Wangshu sneered with red eyes.
"No matter whether the Nalan Kingdom sends an army of 20 or [-], if they dare to step into our Helian territory, they will never come back."
The dangerous eyes narrowed, like a leopard ready to hunt.
As long as Nalan's army is given a massive hit this time, it would be best to wipe out all 20 troops, then Nalan's country will surely suffer heavy losses.
Through this battle, the country's prestige can be enhanced and the ambitious Nalan Kingdom can be frightened.
He Lianhuan, who had been silent until now, looked at Gu Wangshu, whose anger was rising.
Her smart and confident look went wild on He Lianhuan's aesthetics.
It was the first time someone could fight alongside him. This feeling was so subtle that it was addictive.
He turned his eyes and his eyes fell on the tattered armors of Gu Jingli and Gu Jingyi.
The armor was stained with blood, whether it was their own or left by the enemy.
The smell of blood arouses people's bloodthirsty impulse.
Taiping City must be defended, and Nalan Kingdom must pay a heavy price for this invasion.
The fire outside the city lasted for seven days before it was extinguished.
As He Lianhuan expected, the Nalan army did not retreat due to temporary losses. On the contrary, they became more determined to capture Taiping City.
After the flames were extinguished, a large-scale attack was launched on Taiping City.
