Early the next morning.
The Han army and the Zhan army broke camp and surrounded the capital.
The distance was neither too close nor too far, out of the range of firearms. Twenty miles from the capital, a number of tents were erected.
The largest tent among them was the tent of Gu Beiheng and Zhan Wang.
It was the first time that father and son slept in the same tent.
For the War King, this was an opportunity to be close to his son. There was another tent next to the camp that was used for meetings, and the father and son, who had gotten up early, would hold meetings in that tent.
It was also the first time that the generals under the War King came into contact with Gu Beiheng.
The same goes for the Natural Han Army.
When it comes to the issue of siege, Gu Beiheng has unique insights and can think of problems that others cannot.
The War King discovered that his son always tried to win at the cost of minimal casualties, so his methods were sometimes not very bright.
There are even some things that others are unwilling to do.
However, this made the other generals applaud.
"Your Highness's idea really impresses me. This method solves the problem quickly, accurately and ruthlessly."
"The young prince was born to be on the battlefield."
…
The praise from others made Gu Beiheng happier than the praise from the King of War.
Gu Beiheng simply raised the corner of his lips, "I've come all the way from being a scout, thinking about how to achieve victory while minimizing casualties."
This sentence also made others feel the same.
Most of them started out as soldiers.
Several people were talking inside the tent.
Long Tianyi spoke from outside. "Master, the military supplies sent from Changshan Prefecture have arrived."
"Give half of the supplies and more for the wound medicine. Send someone to the war camp near the East China Sea tribe." Gu Beiheng had Su Qi's support, so he felt confident in everything he did. "Send a medical team of fifty people."
"Yes. I'll do it right away." Long Tianyi took the order and left.
The general under the War King chuckled and said, "Young Prince, our War King's army has military doctors supplied by the Yunzhou City Medical College. We have no shortage of medicines either."
The Han army was silent. They practiced a lot, but only two-thirds of them actually went out to fight. These two-thirds usually joined the Dongqi army.
When the Han Army summons you, come back and serve them.
Gu Beiheng looked thoughtfully at the Zhan Jun general who was quite proud of his words, and explained: "The medicine of my Gu family army is a special medicine that the three major families in Lianyunzhou City want but don't have."
"Even Yunzhou City Medical College doesn't have any."
The general of the Zhan army looked at Gu Beiheng in astonishment, and then turned to the Zhan Wang.
"Is there such a thing? What about Yunzhou City producing miraculous doctors and miraculous medicines?"
"The legend of Yunzhou City will come to an end. There are many medical schools in the world that train excellent doctors, and our army is even more different.
We are all living on the edge of a knife. Every year, countless soldiers become disabled due to improper medical treatment. Many even die from infections and inflammation.
Everyone at the scene was silent.
Gu Beiheng was telling the truth. There weren't many herbs available to reduce inflammation and relieve pain at this time. Even if there were, they wouldn't be able to keep up with the speed of suppuration, causing the wound to worsen.
"Young Prince, I will also go and take a look."
"Go ahead."
Several generals all left.
The War King looked at Gu Beiheng with satisfaction and patted his shoulder. "Beiheng, the empire will depend on you from now on. After we establish the capital in Dongqi, I will be able to accompany your mother with peace of mind."
King Zhan wanted to take Qin Wan away from here and settle down in Tianshan.
How could Gu Beiheng not know what King Zhan was thinking?
"Are you going to Tianshan?"
"Yes. Tianshan is peaceful and suitable for our retirement."
"Yuebao and Xibao won't have grandpa and grandma to call them anymore." Gu Beiheng deliberately spread his hands and said, "Qiqi and I will be very busy in the future, so these two girls can only be left to the maids and nannies to take care of them."
When the War King thought of his two lovely granddaughters, his heart softened.
He glared at Gu Beiheng resentfully, "Don't you think I know what you're planning? Don't go to Tianshan. Yuebao and Xibao will be taken care of by your mother and me. Give me more children."
"Father, maybe you and mother can give me a younger brother or sister?" Gu Beiheng laughed.
He remembered what Su Qi had said, that it was normal for a woman in her forties to give birth.
The War King was stunned, but when he thought of this, his ears inexplicably felt hot.
This is not impossible, "Can it?"
"Yes. Qiqi said I have the potential to be a big brother."
The King of War was no longer calm. He thought that his son was younger than his grandson and decided to give up.
He then put Gu Beiheng's words behind him. If he could find a younger woman, it would be fine. He only wanted to be with Qin Wan in his life, so how could he have a child?
Inside the imperial city.
The emperor knew he was under siege, but he didn't seem worried.
A sinister smile appeared on his lips. When Emperor Jiawen of Dashun learned that he was surrounded by people, his face turned pale with fear.
Emperor Dongqi played with his agarwood beads and asked the chief eunuch with a smile, "Prince Zhan and that bastard have besieged the capital?"
"To reply to the Emperor, the siege is so tight that no one can get through."
"Then I'll surprise him. Hahahaha, I know everything my little brother is thinking." The emperor laughed heartily. "What can I do? He has been smart and active since he was young. Unfortunately, as soon as he takes the first step, I know what his next move will be."
"Come here. Inform everyone. Make a night raid on the army's food supplies." The emperor seemed to have seen the failure of the War King.
I suddenly felt relieved of the depressed mood that had been pent up for many days.
"Yes. I will obey your command." Someone received the order and left through the secret passage.
The emperor smiled with a sinister and smug look on his face. He had already figured out the secret passages in the palace. Otherwise, how could he have easily let someone else take over as emperor?
night.
Gu Beiheng stood in front of the tent in a daze.
He looked up at the two sparse stars above his head and muttered to himself:
"It's a dark and windy night for murder. Would you waste this precious time?"
"Beiheng. Have a drink with me." The War King strictly controls drinking in the army, and he himself only drinks a cup of very low-alcohol wine.
Gu Beiheng took a look outside and returned to the tent to have a drink with the King of War.
The two of them drank a cup of wine each and then stopped drinking.
Instead, they began to arrange positions for civil and military officials of the new dynasty.
Outside the military camp.
Teams of ghost-like figures appeared.
They moved swiftly, taking advantage of the cover of night to enter the military camp and walked towards the grain depot like ghosts.
The others dispersed in groups and moved towards the various tents, holding sharp weapons that shone coldly.
The knife fell with a loud swoop.
One by one, the figures fell.
There was no time to make a sound, only the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.
Soon calm returned.
Torches were lit in the camp.
The general of the Zhan army spat and grinned, "The young prince is really good at foresight. From a few things that happened between our prince Zhan and the dog emperor, we can figure out the dog emperor's tricks."
"Have the Han army's men caught up?"
A guard replied:
"Reporting to the General. The Han army has begun a secret search along the place where they appeared."
"Cut off these heads and send them to the city gate."
"yes."
The war army is busy here.
Someone told Gu Beiheng and King Zhan the news. King Zhan was shocked to hear that his good brother was really putting all his energy into dealing with him. He was calculating every move he made.
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Ultimately, I lost at your hands." The War King patted Gu Beiheng on the shoulder and said, "No one knows your fighting style."
