"Your Majesty, have you discussed it with him?" Gu Qingcheng asked directly.
"If I say never, would you believe it?" The monarch smiled slightly.
"But, you..." Gu Qingcheng hesitated.
"There are some things that don't need to be said. I understand him and he understands me." The monarch said calmly.
"Qingcheng, you are unparalleled in intelligence, but sometimes women can never understand the feelings between men."
"So, as soon as the defense situation in the north changed, you immediately guessed what he was going to do?" Gu Qingcheng asked.
"You can say that." The monarch nodded.
"But he went to the north not only because of the war, but also because he wanted to force those people out."
Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but said:
"But if those people really show up, he will be too dangerous."
"And his actions completely broke those people's plans. Based on this, they will not do nothing."
Hearing this, a flash of surprise flashed in the monarch's eyes:
"You actually know?"
"He has asked me about this before, and he also mentioned it the last time we contacted him. It's not difficult to guess." Gu Qingcheng said.
The monarch nodded upon hearing this and said with a wry smile: "This is exactly what worries me!"
"But it's exactly what he expected, isn't it?" Gu Qingcheng looked into the monarch's eyes and said.
"Yes, I know that on the one hand he is not willing to leave the place where he spilled his blood a few years ago, but on the other hand he also wants to do something for me or this country."
The monarch did not deny:
"It's a pity that he doesn't understand how powerful those people are!"
"With him here, even if Chu Yannan is actually in charge, I won't worry about the war in the north, but..."
Having said this, the monarch glanced at Gu Qingcheng curiously and said:
"I'm very surprised. You only interacted once or twice. Why did you treat him?"
"Can I not say it?" Gu Qingcheng said calmly.
If it were another person, he would never dare to talk to the monarch like this, but Gu Qingcheng seemed to be normal.
Because everyone who knows her well knows that this is her temperament.
"Of course." The monarch smiled coquettishly and said, "I'm just gossiping."
"If you really get together one day, it will probably shock the attention of countless people."
"My lord, you are really nosy." Gu Qingcheng said angrily.
"Then I won't mention it." The monarch smiled, and then the smile faded and he said: "But there is one thing Qingcheng you should pay attention to."
"Your Majesty, please speak." Gu Qingcheng said seriously.
"The country has been in a state of unrest recently, especially with the resurgence of war in the north, and the aristocratic families in the imperial capital don't seem to be at peace either."
"Once they are restless, the imperial capital will be restless."
"Don't worry, my lord, with the Dragon Pavilion here, they can only jump a few times at most." Gu Qingcheng said.
The monarch nodded when he heard this: "As long as you have an idea."
"Nothing happens, I'll leave first."
After Gu Qingcheng finished speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for the monarch to speak.
The monarch was left with a look of helplessness: "These two people are so similar in temperament. They are both rude people."
As he spoke, a knowing smile appeared on his face.
........
The northern border, outside the same city.
In the past day or two, Tang Lei's troops have been harassing the other side, preventing them from advancing quickly.
But as soon as the opponent stopped and prepared to challenge him for a decisive battle, they broke into pieces and disappeared into the surrounding woods.
But just a few miles after the coalition forces set off, the harassment began again, which really made the enemy so angry that their lungs were about to explode!
You must know that their army is a front-line army and is responsible for important tasks.
The most important thing is to occupy the same city.
Because this is the first city of a certain size after entering the northern border.
Taking this city is of great significance.
Because this will immediately become a landmark event, which will have a huge morale boost for one's own side and a huge blow to the opponent's morale.
Furthermore, it will affect domestic public opinion.
Of course, what's more important is that their army is advancing deeply and they need a stronghold, and there is no one more suitable than the same city at the moment.
Using this as a stronghold, they can continue to encroach in the next step, and they may launch an attack on Liangcheng in the near future!
Once Liangcheng is captured, the door will really be opened!
The whole world will be shocked!
Of course, the premise of all this is that they want to win the same city.
Originally, this army had been harassing them and they didn't take it seriously. But suddenly, it increased its intensity a lot, which made them uncomfortable, and their marching speed inevitably slowed down.
At this time, dozens of kilometers away from them, there was a real army that had been marching.
Inside the big tent, the major commanders of the coalition forces gathered together to discuss the next battle.
In the center is a middle-aged man with a square face, a majestic temperament, and a sinister light in his eyes.
This person is the commander-in-chief of this coalition, Tuoba Xi.
"Everyone, there is important news now."
Tuoba Xi looked at the crowd and said: "Chinese officials have announced that Chu Yannan will be removed from the position of commander-in-chief and replaced by the former commander-in-chief Long."
Upon hearing this, the coaches' bodies suddenly trembled involuntarily.
There is no way, they were beaten so hard in the past few years that now they have some physiological reactions when they hear this name.
However, Tuoba Xi did not laugh at these people, because when he heard the news, he had a similar reaction.
But it soon aroused his high fighting spirit!
Because he has always been proud and cannot accept failure!
But facing Long Shuai, he has never defeated him once!
This time is an excellent opportunity for him!
Their army has entered the country, but the Chinese army is like a headless fly, moving here and there, not sure where it is now!
As long as he leads his army to push across, nothing can stop him!
He wants to wash away the shame of the past!
"Then, when will Long Shuai arrive?" someone asked.
"The news was just released this morning. I think it will be tomorrow at the earliest."
Tuoba Xi's eyes suddenly turned cold: "So for the sake of safety, I order the front army to capture the same city before tomorrow afternoon! Otherwise, military law will be dealt with!"
"Okay! I will give the order to the former army general." One of them immediately came to the side and dialed the phone.
"In addition, we will also speed up a bit and maintain closer contact with the front army." Tuoba Xi ordered.
At the same time, Xiao Tian was already in the guerrilla team led by Tang Lei.
We are discussing the next countermeasures with the generals.
"Everyone remember, no matter what, we cannot let them enter the city. The war can only break out outside the city." Xiao Tian pointed at the map and said: "It is best here. By the way, the traps here are all set.
