That day, I received a letter from Chen Duan.
Gu Qingcheng reached out and took the letter.
Unfold and read carefully.
In the letter, Chen Duan talked about two things:
First, he unconditionally agreed to Gu Qingcheng's request to "borrow troops".
Chen Duan was very generous and directly "lent" eight hundred veterans to Gu Qingcheng.
A true veteran!
Although they are not too old to handle swords and guns, their average age is around 30 years old.
Thirty years old, in ancient times, was the age at which one could call oneself an old man.
In the army, the old and weak are basically eliminated.
The soldiers were lent to a group of veterans who were about to "retire". This was not a deliberate trick by Chen Duan, but Gu Qingcheng's own request.
Her "borrowing" is not a real borrowing, but the kind of borrowing without returning.
Therefore, Gu Qingcheng would not want Chen Duan's elite troops, but only his veterans who were about to be eliminated.
Although Chen Duan didn't understand, veterans and the like were supposed to be dismissed.
Giving it to my fiancée is not only a favor, but also reduces my own troubles, which is really killing two birds with one stone.
However, Chen Duan felt a little guilty - Aqing treated him sincerely and without asking for anything in return, and after she finally opened her mouth to ask for help, he gave it to a group of old and weak people.
In order to reduce the condemnation of his conscience, Chen Duan also gave some conscripted laborers and exiled prisoners as gifts.
All together, there were two thousand people.
Gu Qingcheng: ...
Well, it was quite a surprise!
The second thing Chen Duan mentioned in the letter also surprised Gu Qingcheng:
"Something has happened in Jiankang, I want to return to the capital!"
Fierce General Chen Duan, is he going to fight back and usurp the throne?!
