Chapter 596: Love Brain
At first, when Gu Qingcheng selected the location of Wu Castle and began large-scale construction, Queen Linyuan of the Linyuan tribe had carried out several "robberies".
Until Wu Castle was built, although Queen Linyuan and Gu Qingcheng had never met directly, the two sides had already fought several times.
Both sides have wins and losses.
Queen Linyuan has the geographical advantage and can fight guerrilla warfare with the Gu family.
They are like snakes in the jungle, appearing and disappearing suddenly and swiftly.
Gu's Wubao has sufficient manpower and abundant supplies.
If necessary, you can get help from the Governor of Yuezhou.
They have the advantage in numbers and status, like a tiger dominating the mountains and forests.
Although he is always ambushed, he can still force his opponents back with his powerful strength!
Overall, Gu's Wu Castle did not suffer too much loss.
However, there is always such an uncontrollable and unwilling power strolling at the doorstep, Gu Qingcheng resisted instinctively! How can I allow others to make trouble beside my bed?
The Linyuan tribe, if you don’t want to be friends like the Li tribe, then just be an enemy.
Gu Qingcheng never shows mercy to his enemies! This time when he went to Guangcheng, in addition to investigating the true strength of King Liang and seeing if there was any value and possibility of cooperation, Gu Qingcheng also planned to "borrow a knife".
This trip to Guangcheng brought Gu Qingcheng a lot of gains.
Borrowing a knife or something like that seems to have changed from exploitation to school examination.
Gu Qingcheng knew this, and an old fox like Chen Duan, who was not just a warrior, should also know this.
So, when the sound of horns rang out in the forest on one side and hundreds of tribal warriors dressed in ethnic costumes rushed out with bows and arrows, wooden spears, etc., Chen Duan understood!
He turned his head meaningfully and glanced at the pretty figure leaning against the carriage window.
Very good, you are worthy of being a family girl!
Even if I'm attracted to him, I still want to weigh him again.
What a scheming little fox.
Realizing that he might be used (being investigated), Chen Duan was not angry at all. Instead, he was somewhat excited and inexplicably excited.
What he wants is a virtuous wife who can help him achieve his ambitions, not a little woman who only knows how to love.
Gu Sanniang is simply perfect.
In addition to her family background and looks, she is also capable, scheming, and calculating... Leave the rear area to her, and you can expand your territory outside without worry!
"kill!"
Chen Duan drew the sword from his waist and launched an attack without saying a word.
He only brought three hundred guards with him on this trip.
However, these three hundred people were elite soldiers carefully selected from twenty thousand people.
Even if you can't do ten with one, it's almost there.
Those tribal warriors were not professional soldiers after all. They had not received any systematic training, did not know how to form a battle array or coordinate with each other, and they only charged forward based on instinct.
There is a serious imbalance in the strength of the two sides.
In just one encounter, the warriors of the Linyuan tribe were killed to pieces.
Most of them were killed or wounded, and the rest fled back to their tribe in a hurry.
"Go, catch a tongue!"
Chen Duan won the battle, but did not stop there.
Since it is an assessment, there is a difference between a passing grade and an excellent grade.
What Chen Duan wanted was to show himself thoroughly and let Gu know that he was her best choice.
Therefore, Chen Duan would be like a peacock, fully spreading his feathers! What's the big deal about just repelling a sneak attack? He would personally lead the troops and directly wipe out the Linyuan tribe! Ahem, although this move may seem like "killing a chicken with a butcher knife", a male peacock wants to spread his feathers.
As long as the beauty is happy, Chen Duan doesn't care about anything else.
In order to show off, he even treated the destruction of the mountain stronghold as a real battle.
Send out sentinels in advance to scout the enemy situation and collect intelligence.
Gain control of the enemy's lair and further understand the situation there.
Then, he personally led the troops to attack from the front and outflanking from the side.
Even the enemy's possible escape route was blocked by Chen Duan.
"Surrender! I, I surrender!"
In less than three days, Queen Linyuan, who had vowed to drive the cunning outsiders out of the forest, surrendered obediently.
He had no choice but to admit defeat, or his own tribe would be wiped out!
Three hundred tribal warriors were killed, and only half were left.
If they didn't kneel down quickly, they would probably be slaughtered.
Woohoo, she just didn’t like the cunning outsiders, and she also despised the fact that Limingzhu colluded with the outsiders, so—
If she admitted defeat, she could also be friends with that Gu Sanniang like Li Mingzhu! However, Chen Duan did not agree directly, but looked at Gu Qingcheng.
His eyes revealed a hint of doting, as if saying: Aqing, whether to kill or let go, it's up to you!
Troublemaker: ...Ugh!
It’s only been a few days and he’s already started calling me “Aqing” affectionately!
It wanted to cover its face, unwilling to witness Her Majesty the Queen fall from a queen to a little woman who flirts with men.
Woohoo, isn't it good to be a proud and domineering queen? Why do you have to -
Gu Qingcheng: ...Haha, I say you are mentally retarded, but you still don't admit it? The empress doesn't need to rely on men? I have said it many times, people who are involved in government affairs will do anything to achieve their goals.
Not to mention hooking up with men, Gu Qingcheng doesn't even mind women as long as they can get a sharp blade for themselves! Those who achieve great things don't care about small details.
If you want to sit in that supreme position, you have to use all means.
The heart of the emperor is dirty! "Jiulang, since she surrendered, just let her go this time."
Gu Qingcheng also changed the way she addressed Chen Duan.
Chen Duan is the ninth child in the family, so people close to him call him Jiulang.
"However, if you want to admit defeat, you should show the attitude of admitting defeat."
Gu Qingcheng was not a saintly woman. She proposed a condition: "First, all the mountain people of Linyuan tribe must register their household registration with the Yuezhou government."
"Second, the Linyuan tribe must accept the government's education. All boys and girls under the age of twelve must read and study the classics of the saints."
It is not possible to "transform the native tribes into Han people" at present, but indigenous tribes like the Linyuan tribe must be under the jurisdiction of the government.
Educate, go down the mountain, slowly integrate, and finally achieve great unification! Chen Duan's eyes flickered.
This Gu, at such a young age, still has the persistence and sense of mission to "educate the people"?
She is indeed worthy of the responsibility of being the "mistress"!
…
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After dealing with the Linyuan tribe, the large army continued on their journey and arrived at Gu's Wu Fort.
"Is this the Gu family's Wu Castle in Yuezhou?"
Seeing the towering city walls and the tight defenses, Chen Duan's Adam's apple rolled a few times.
"Yes! This is the Gu's Wu Castle that I built myself!"
Gu Qingcheng did not hide her incompetence, nor did she put all the credit on A-weng.
It was her doing, it was her doing.
Chen Duan used the Linyuan tribe incident to flex his muscles in front of her.
She is also not shy about showing off her excellence!
“…”
Chen Duan didn't say anything, just looked at Gu Qingcheng steadily.
The city before us, which was more magnificent than the capital of Yuezhou Prefecture, was actually just a Wu Castle.
The city walls were so high that carriages could run on them;
It is not easy to attack the city with such a deep moat.
Passing through the city gate, there are fields and farmhouses.
Just relying on these farmlands, Wubao can hold out for several years even if it is besieged! Beyond the outer city, there is also the inner city.
The inner city is full of houses and prosperous shops.
The streets are bustling with people coming and going. It doesn't seem like a private castle at all, but a prosperous city.
No, it's not just prosperous! It's also clean!
Yes, Chen Duan discovered that the inner city of Gu’s Wu Castle was very clean.
There is almost no cow and horse dung on the streets, and no sewage flowing everywhere.
Every street has drainage ditches, and every household can take care of its own business.
There should also be people who specialize in cleaning public streets.
"……Why?"
Chen Duan looked at the clean and tidy streets and suddenly asked this question.
He did not think it was "pretentious" of a noble lady to make the city look like her own boudoir.
Once again, Gu Qing is not an ordinary little girl.
Everything she does has a reason and a purpose!
Chen Duan's question was confusing, but Gu Qingcheng understood it.
She didn’t hide anything, but answered with a “frank” face, “If you are clean, you won’t get sick!”
"Lingnan has a unique climate, and places like Yuezhou are hot and humid all year round."
"In such an environment, snakes, insects, rats and ants are particularly domineering."
At this point, Gu Qingcheng did not forget to give an example: "Jiulang has been in Guangcheng for a few months, and he must have personally experienced how powerful the mosquitoes in Guangcheng are!"
When Chen Duan heard the word "mosquitoes", he couldn't help but twitch his forehead.
Jiankang is also hot and humid, and there are mosquitoes.
But it definitely won't reach Guangcheng's almost perverted level.
In the middle of winter, a mosquito that big can leave a bruise with one bite.
If you train your troops outside the city, you will be stung and covered in blood.
In severe cases, there will be fever, or even -
It was only after casualties occurred in the military camp that Chen Duan finally understood why the world feared Lingnan like a tiger.
It's not just remote, it's not just wild, but those snakes, insects, rats and ants can really kill people! "Hmm!" Chen Duan snorted, indicating that he really felt the cruelty of mosquitoes.
Gu Qingcheng curled the corners of her lips, and a hint of playfulness flashed in her beautiful almond-shaped eyes.
She seemed to enjoy the occasional embarrassment her hero exuded.
Chen Duan: ...She is still young after all. However, Gu Qing is becoming more and more smart.
"Being cleaner can reduce the number of diseases caused by mosquito bites, even if it cannot eliminate mosquitoes."
"The miasma in Lingnan is most likely caused by viruses bred by snakes, insects, rats and ants!"
Gu Qingcheng suppressed her smile and spoke seriously.
Her words made Chen Duan's pupils shrink suddenly - Gu Sanniang actually revealed her biggest trump card? Didn't she know how precious the "secret" of Gu's rooting in Lingnan was? Chen Duan looked straight into Gu Qingcheng's eyes. The shining phoenix eyes were clean and clear, like mountain spring water.
She knew! But she was still willing to share this secret with him.
Gu's treatment of me was so sincere? Chen Duan's heart was slightly touched.
Originally he just wanted to find a suitable and virtuous wife, but Chen Duan didn't even realize that he had fallen in love.
Huoshui rubbed his nose:... What's that?
With Her Majesty the Queen's power, you will become a love-brained person sooner or later!
