Chapter 1078 Let’s Fight
“General Han, what did you say? Chi didn’t hear it clearly just now, please say it again!”
Jiang Chi came to the foot of the city with "sincerity" and was then brought into the city by the defenders in a hanging basket.
When I arrived at the county government office, I saw Han Cheng, who was dark and tall, like an iron tower.
Before Jiang Chi could start showing off his eloquence, Han Cheng said something shocking.
Even though Jiang Chi was knowledgeable and experienced, and even though he had a very high psychological quality and could remain calm even when faced with a catastrophe, he was still speechless at Han Cheng's "wild imagination".
Does this person know what he is talking about? "He is attracted to the daughter of the Gu family and wants to marry the two families?"
Ha! Even if Han Cheng didn't have a mirror, he still had urine.
Couldn't he just take a piss and look down? What kind of person was he? Who gave him the courage to covet the daughter of the Gu family of Wujun, who occupied the vast Lingnan region? "You made me laugh out of anger", which was directly embodied in the calm, steady and self-assured celebrity Jiang Chi.
He was so angry that he laughed. He couldn't imagine how there could be such a fool like Han Cheng in this world who had no self-awareness and was obsessed with fantasy?
Huoshui watched the whole process and accurately summarized it: "This is called 'ugly in appearance, beautiful in mind'."
Alas, there is nothing I can do. Your Majesty acted so well before, giving people a misunderstanding.
This noble girl from the Gu family is a love-brained person.
For the sake of men, I am willing to be a good wife.
I spent money and effort, but unfortunately I met a scumbag and my sincerity was wasted.
Then, some ordinary men were "encouraged" -
Chen Duan has no vision and no conscience, but I do.
Chen Duan has soldiers and knows how to fight. I also have soldiers and I can fight too.
Chen Duan can rely on Gu's funding to compete for the world, so can I! Perhaps Han Cheng is not the only one.
Not only in the Southern Dynasty, but also in the North, as long as many warlords heard about the feud between Chen Duan and the Gu family, they would have delusional thoughts.
However, for now, the ordinary Xinnan that Jiang Chi is facing, oh no, the ugly Xinnan is only one Han Cheng.
Moreover, this was Jiang Chi’s first experience, and he was most frightened.
He almost lost control of his facial expression.
The question was also full of obvious sarcasm.
Han Cheng didn't know whether he really didn't hear it or was just pretending to be dumb, but he actually repeated it according to Jiang Chi's request: "Sir Jiang, I have admired the girl from the Gu family for a long time. Today, I would like to use Jiangyang City as a betrothal gift to marry Gu's daughter!"
Jiang Chi: ...
I am speechless and choked with emotion.
With Jiang Chi's extremely smart brain, he could understand why Han Cheng had such delusions.
First, there is a "successful case" like Chen Duan; second, Gu Qing has money and a wife who is willing to be a good wife;
Thirdly, Gu Qing was of noble birth and was also very beautiful, stunningly gorgeous and peerless.
She has a good family background, is beautiful, and has an extremely generous dowry. The key is that she is willing to use the dowry to support her husband... She is simply the most perfect wife candidate that every man dreams of.
As Chen Duan's deputy general, Han Cheng witnessed the sincere devotion of the Gu family's daughter and experienced the wealth and background of the Gu family firsthand.
It was easy for him to have fantasies: If Chen Duan can do it, so can I!
Jiang Chi's pair of almond-shaped eyes glanced at Han Cheng inconspicuously, and then quickly moved away.
So ugly!
It's so eye-catching!
Jiang Chi had never met Chen Duan, but this King of Liang had a reputation of having a "very handsome appearance".
Although he has Hu ancestry and comes from a poor family, Chen Duan is already the son of a military family.
His cousin became emperor, so the Chen family could barely be considered a royal family.
The most important thing is that Chen Duan has tens of thousands of troops and has the strength to compete with Chen Jing.
Only under such conditions was Gu willing to marry.
Chen Duan was also busy and extremely diligent for the Gu family.
Everyone knows that the daughter of the Gu family was willing to be Chen Duan's good wife, but they choose to forget that it was Chen Duan who tried every means to rescue all the members of the Gu family who were in the north safely.
In addition, Chen Duan also sent troops to help Gu's campaigns in Lingnan...
The Gu family really did not suffer any loss from the marriage with Chen Duan.
It was originally a collaboration between two major families, but the world was misled by the "love story" released by the Gu family.
They only thought that the daughter of the Gu family was a love-crazy fool, but ignored that she was a little girl who had just turned fifteen, and she became the head of the Gu family and the queen of Lingnan! Gu Qingcheng had both face and substance.
Chen Duan’s “contribution” was made to most of these.
And what does this Han Cheng have? He is extremely ugly, not even from a poor family, and has only 3,000 soldiers and a city under his command...
Jiang Chi couldn't think too much, otherwise, he would be so angry that he would lose control of his facial expression.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Chi did not reprimand him on the spot, but greeted Han Cheng hypocritically.
As a strategist who is good at strategy and eloquence, even though Jiang Chi has already cursed Han Cheng to pieces in his heart, he still looks happy on the surface and can pretend to be nice to Han Cheng.
Jiang Chi said that he would convey the general's meaning to him.
However, this matter is of great importance, and you, lady, need to consider it carefully.
As for him, he said goodbye and would report any good news at any time! Jiang Chi had a very good attitude. Except for the initial "laughing out of anger", he managed his facial expressions very well afterwards.
Han Cheng was very satisfied. He did not make things difficult for Jiang Chi, nor did he detain him. He sent Jiang Chi out politely.
Jiang Chi waved his sleeves and left in style, even bringing back the so-called "meeting gift".
Han Cheng, he doesn't deserve it!
Although he didn't know Gu Qingcheng's attitude towards this "marriage", Jiang Chi had a hunch that Gu Qingcheng would definitely not agree.
In this case, don't waste the food and money.
The Gu family is wealthy and doesn't lack these things, but they can't be fed to the dogs! ...
"…What did you say? What did Han Chengdu say?"
In the military camp outside the city, in the general's tent, Gu Qingcheng picked his ears to confirm again.
Seeing that his lord, who was usually prudent and calm, was thrown into disbelief, Jiang Chi, who had already suffered a wave of "stimulation", instantly regained his mental balance.
You can't blame me for losing control, it's just that someone is so weird.
Jiang Chi has seen people who lack self-awareness, but it is extremely rare to see someone as dreamy as Han Cheng.
Look, the lord was "shocked" (disgusted?) by it.
Jiang Chi, who was mentally balanced, very patiently repeated Han Cheng's request.
Not a single word is missed and every sentence is restored.
Gu Qingcheng: ...
After a brief silence, Gu Qingcheng returned to normal.
Well, as a swan, it is inevitable that you will be coveted by toads.
Although it's a bit disgusting, you can't always let yourself fall into "self-doubt".
Moreover, Han Cheng will not be the first, nor the only one.
"Your Majesty, you acted so well before that I thought you were a love-brained man who was throwing himself at the man."
The source of trouble is someone who just keeps on eating spectators and jumps out to join in the fun.
Gu Qingcheng: ...You don't have to tell me! Of course I know there are reasons for this.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
However, Gu Qingcheng would not blame other people's delusions on her own faults.
The ugly man was just daydreaming, could he blame himself for being too good? "Let's fight!"
Gu Qingcheng sighed. She really wanted to minimize casualties.
However, since Han Cheng made such a request, there is no possibility of "peace talks" between the two sides.
Then we can only fight!
It just so happens that Gu Qingcheng also needs to show the world——
She, the daughter of the Gu family, is not just a lovesick woman who is willing to give everything for a man.
She is also a female hero who is capable of decisive killing and plundering cities.
"Okay! Then fight!"
Jiang Chi knew that his lord would never be willing to endure such humiliation.
This is not to say that one should act on impulse. After all, for politicians, being able to bend and stretch is the best way.
But, as I said, one can “bend” rather than “bend at will”.
If she has to tolerate even a guy like Han Cheng, Gu Qingcheng is destined to never become a banner in troubled times.
The lord can be tolerant, but he cannot be tolerant without principles and bottom line.
Otherwise, those who follow her will not be able to tolerate such a depressed and cowardly lord!
"Sir, it seems you have a plan!"
Seeing Jiang Chi's resolute attitude and confidence, Gu Qingcheng smiled.
In fact, she also has a certain plan.
But, since there is a counselor like Jiang Chi around, why not use him? The superior does not need to know how to do things, but only needs to know how to use people well.
"My Lord, can you do this——"
Jiang Chi raised the corners of his mouth and smiled calmly and confidently.
It seemed as if everything had been planned by him.
The next day, Han Cheng did not receive any "reply" from Jiang Chi.
However, the Gu family’s military camp suddenly became lively.
Outside the moat, it is only three or four hundred meters away from the city wall.
This distance is far greater than the range of a bow and arrow.
In ancient times, the maximum range of a bow and arrow was about one hundred steps, or between one hundred and twenty meters and two hundred meters.
Being too close to the city wall, it is easy to become a target for the guards on the city wall.
If the distance is too far, the "effect" will not be very good.
As for the effect, the soldiers on the city wall soon found out.
"Huh? What are they doing?"
"Burying the pot? Are they going to cook?"
On the city wall, the soldiers on guard couldn't help but feel curious when they saw the people in the Gu family camp busying in and out like ants.
They lay on the parapet, leaning forward to look down.
Then, they discovered that the soldiers of the Gu family were cooking.
A very big black pot with a fire underneath.
Soon, the fire was lit, and the firemen in white overalls were busy around the cauldron with shovels.
"Is that meat? It's such a big pot!"
"There is more than one basin. There is a big basin next to each big pot."
"One, two... six... nine, ten!"
There were ten big pots and ten big pots of meat.
The soldiers on the city wall couldn't help but drool.
The temptation from the meat reaches its peak when the sugar color is fried and the pork belly is stir-fried.
"Smells good! It smells so good!"
"Is it sweet? Did you add sugar to the dish?"
"...I've heard that the Gu family is very wealthy, but I didn't expect them to be this wealthy."
"It's just a show. Who would really be willing to let the lowest-ranking soldiers eat meat?"
"Not necessarily! I heard that the girl from the Gu family is the most generous. When King Liang was still around, our Chen family army could rely on the girl to have enough food. I heard that this is the girl from the Gu family's request, and we must let the big soldiers have enough food and drink!"
"...It's a pity that the King of Liang broke off the engagement. Without the good wife like the daughter of the Gu family, now it's even more..."
Alas, no wonder the ancients often said "A virtuous wife brings less trouble to her husband", Chen Duan has ruined his own blessing.
I just don't know who can still get Miss Gu's favor, and then...
Slurp!
What a fragrant smell, such an overbearing fragrance, the soldiers could no longer have any random thoughts.
They just want to eat meat...
