Chapter 935: Suspicion
A dozen large ships were sailing steadily on the river.
Yuwen Heng's army was not good at naval battles, but the troops stationed on the river bank had been confronting the other side for many years. They had many exercises on weekdays and were familiar with water and could even row boats.
In particular, Gu Youyi remembered Gu Qing's strategy in her previous life. She recruited many young and strong men in the fishing village by the river and had them train with the regular soldiers.
A large number of local fishermen were chosen to help in crossing the river this time.
Anyway, it's not a naval battle on the river. We just need to sail the boat across and dock, and the troops of the Southern Dynasty will no longer be a threat.
When the big ship was sailing, everything went smoothly at the beginning.
Including Yuwen Heng, most of the soldiers were not used to it.
No matter how steady a boat is, it is still drifting on the water.
What you step on is not the solid ground, but the ups and downs of nothingness, which always makes people feel uneasy.
There were also some soldiers who were riding on a boat for the first time. They were so frightened by the sparkling water that they felt dizzy and dazed. They tried to hold it in, but in the end they couldn't help it and started vomiting.
Gu Youyi: ... Really useless! A group of grown men are actually seasick? Fortunately, they only have to cross the river. In another half an hour, they can rush across.
"Attention! The other side is sending out troops!"
Yuwen Heng was not as optimistic as Gu Youyi.
The soldiers of the Southern Dynasty were indeed not as strong as those of the Northern Dynasty, but they were not made of paper.
Seeing a large number of troops crossing the river in a powerful manner, they would never sit still and wait for death.
Sure enough, as the river became more and more lively, the military camps on the other side of the river also began to mobilize.
"Watch out! Be careful of them getting into the water!"
Yuwen Heng tightly gripped the scimitar at his waist and watched the opponent's movements closely.
He is not afraid of fighting the enemy face to face, but the battle cannot take place on the water.
Naval warfare is really our weak point.
Yuwen Heng ordered his men to fetch his bow and arrows. He was ready. As long as the enemy dared to board the ship, he would be the first to shoot down the enemy's flag.
Once the general's flag falls, the army will be in chaos. At that time, if we speed up the crossing of the river, we should be able to -
"Huh? They're just standing in formation? They're not actively fighting the enemy?"
Yuwen Heng was in a state of extreme nervousness, and the guards around him were also facing a severe enemy.
However, the movements on the other side left him completely confused.
Could it be that the enemy knew that they were no match for the Iron Cavalry and gave up even the slightest resistance?
It shouldn't be like this!
Even if the person guarding the military camp opposite is not Chen Duan, but a woman, the military camp is not full of women.
Besides, the third wife of the Gu family is not an ordinary woman.
Yuwen Heng had never seen this girl, but he and the Gu family were old friends.
In the past eight or nine years, he had heard the name of Gu's third wife many times from people in the Gu family.
It was also thanks to Gu Sanniang that the Gu family was able to gain a foothold in the Northern Dynasty.
...In fact, even if you don't know Gu Qingcheng's many achievements, just looking at the Gu family, who would rather take the risk of fleeing the Northern Dynasty and returning to Lingnan, you will know that Gu Sanniang is no ordinary person.
The Gu family chose the former between the two daughters, Gu Sanniang and Gu Siniang.
This is quite something to ponder over.
Gu Si Niang is indeed not particularly smart, but she is lucky and God is on her side.
She can always predict the future accurately, she is definitely a favorite of God.
Moreover, Gu Si Niang has already married into the Yuwen family. Her foresight + the Yuwen family's troops, plus the strategy of the young master of the Gu family, is simply a winning combination.
The Gu family could easily become the number one foreign relative of the Northern Dynasty, with high power and everlasting wealth.
As a result, the Gu family easily gave up such a good situation for Gu Sanniang.
Gu Yi and Gu Ji are definitely not fools. There is only one reason for this: Gu Sanniang has unlimited potential and can bring more and higher power and glory to the Gu family.
"What on earth is the Gu family thinking?"
"Well, even if Chen Duan has ascended the throne and become the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, the position of empress may not necessarily be that of the daughter of the Gu family."
Gu Sanniang and Chen Duan were just an engaged couple, not a legitimate couple.
Even if she was the original wife, there are examples in history of wives being demoted to concubines.
"Even a reckless man like me can think of this problem, how could Gu Sanniang, who was chosen by the Gu family, not think of it?"
Yuwen Heng didn’t really trust Gu Qingcheng, but he believed in the vision of the old foxes Gu Yi and Gu Ji.
They won't choose the wrong person.
His feet were slightly rising and falling. In order to distract himself and avoid the pain of "seasickness", Yuwen Heng began to try to figure out Gu Qingcheng's thoughts.
He muttered to himself, he was puzzled.
Gu Youyi, who was standing next to Yuwen Heng, vaguely heard some of his words.
"Gu Qing? Gu Qing!"
"They have never met each other, why is Ah Heng still obsessed with Gu Qing?"
"…This time, the person standing next to you is me, Gu Youyi, and not that ugly Gu Qing!"
Gu Youyi was secretly angry, but did not dare to show it.
She claimed that she and Yuwen Heng were childhood sweethearts and had a very deep relationship.
However, she always had a feeling that she had never really entered Yuwen Heng's heart.
It's not just intuition, but also Gu Youyi feels guilty——
Yuwen Heng and Gu Qing have been married for decades.
They may not have such a strong love, but they trust each other, know each other and stay with each other.
In her previous life, Gu Youyi had witnessed with her own eyes how the two of them got along.
Tacit understanding, very good tacit understanding.
There is no need for too many words, just a look from each other is enough for the other person to understand.
It seemed as if there was only each other between them, and outsiders could not get in the way at all.
That kind of feeling has surpassed love, friendship, and family affection. It seems to be a harmony of souls and a fate destined by God.
On the other hand, she and Yuwen Heng are in true love. Gu Youyi can feel Yuwen Heng's love and pity for her, but there always seems to be a gap between them.
Gu Youyi didn't dare to think too much, she could only silently bury her hatred towards Gu Qing in her heart.
"So what if you were husband and wife in your previous life?"
"In this life, Ah Heng belongs to me. The position of Queen is also destined to be mine, Gu Youyi!"
And you, Gu Qing, just as Ah Heng said, may not be able to become Chen Duan's queen.
Thinking of this, Gu Youyi felt much better.
She concentrated her mind and began to wait for her first duel with Gu Qing after her rebirth.
I don't believe that I will lose to you! ...
"Madam, give the order!"
Zhou Shao followed behind Gu Qingcheng, and his heart began to hang in his arms as he watched the large ships approaching little by little.
Send out troops! Meet the enemy! If you don't give the order, the enemy will cross the river.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"No hurry! I won't let my soldiers risk their lives and make unnecessary sacrifices!"
Gu Qingcheng, however, was calm and not nervous at all.
Zhou Shao: ...
Madam, you have got the meaning wrong.
Their soldiers in the south are best at naval battles.
They have more advantages on the river.
But looking at the lady's attitude, she actually wants to let the enemy cross the river.
If they reach the ground, the advantages and disadvantages between the enemy and us will be reversed.
At that time, the soldiers were "risking their lives" and made "meaningless sacrifices"! "Sima, don't worry, I have my own arrangements!"
Gu Qingcheng seemed to sense Zhou Shao's speechlessness, she turned her head slightly and said with a smile.
Zhou Shao: ...I am even more worried, okay? Oh, I was so confused that I actually let the lady lead the troops.
The queen was indeed powerful. She kept the military camp in order and was clear about rewards and punishments. Within a few days of her arrival, she had quickly stabilized the morale of the troops.
However, marching and fighting are not what women are good at.
It is not like reading a few military books can really make plans and win battles thousands of miles away! The lady looked confident, but Zhou Shao was worried that she was just talking about military strategy on paper.
"No! I better make more preparations."
"Have the archers ready, and get the torches. As soon as the enemy crosses the river, we'll fire rockets at them!"
Zhou Shao thought silently and tried his best to remedy the situation.
On the river, more than a dozen large ships began to cross the middle of the river and headed straight for the south bank.
Gu Qingcheng remained unmoved, but the counselors and deputy generals behind her were getting a little impatient.
Why not take action yet?
Just when everyone was about to lose control and tried to take matters into their own hands, Gu Qingcheng finally spoke:
"Female soldiers, get ready!"
"yes!"
Dozens of female soldiers who followed Gu Qingcheng from Lingnan to Jiangling were fully armored and ready for battle.
When they heard the order, they all lined up.
Zhou Shao's mouth twitched: After all the effort, they only used these less than a hundred female soldiers? Lady, are you sure you are not fooling around?
But soon, Zhou Shao discovered that he was the truly shallow and ignorant person!
"projection!"
This time, there was no need for Gu Qingcheng to give orders. A'man, who led the women's army, shouted loudly.
Then, everyone including Zhou Shao witnessed a scene that they would never forget.
The female soldiers aimed at the center of the river and threw out a small object.
"Porcelain bottle?"
"A round ball?"
Zhou Shao and others were puzzled, and the sense of absurdity in their hearts became stronger and stronger.
But then, those little things drew parabolas in the air and then exploded with a loud bang.
Some exploded on the ship, while others fell into the water, causing huge splashes.
"God thunders?"
Not only Zhou Shao and his companions were shocked and puzzled, but everyone on the ship was also frightened out of their wits by this "miracle".
In addition to mental shock, there is also physical harm -
The big ship was blown up and many soldiers were injured and fell into the river.
Most of them are not good at water.
Soon, cries for help and groans were heard one after another on the river surface.
Slowly, bodies began to float up.
There is no greater hell on earth than this.
Yuwen Heng and Gu Youyi were also frightened. Before they could react, they were soaked like drowned rats.
However, they are the young master and mistress after all, and they are surrounded by guards and loyal servants.
More than a dozen people rushed forward, regardless of choking on water, to rescue their master.
"Let go! Let me go!"
Yuwen Heng's eyes were red with anger. These soldiers who were either struggling or floating in the water were all his men.
He is the brother who followed him in his conquests.
As a result, before they even touched the other side of the river, they...
Total defeat! Gu Youyi was also terrified. Thunder from the gods? There was no such thing in the previous life.
Could it be that Gu Qing also had an adventure?
She wasn't reborn, but she got help from the gods?
