Smashing stores is to help you get rich. Does this stupid woman understand?

Gu Qing was not used to Huangfu Sisi's enthusiasm and hint of seductive charm.

Most men have a colorful heart. No matter how loyal they say, they can't help but take a second look when they see long white legs on the street. On the surface, they say "appreciating art", but in their hearts they are so dirty.

Only he himself knows his thoughts.

There is also the habit of secretly comparing other women with one's own. In the end, all those who have experienced it will come to the conclusion that "other people's wives are better."

Gu Qing couldn't help but compare Huangfu Sisi and Zhang Huaiyu. After comparing everything from appearance to figure, height to personality, Gu Qing also came to a conclusion.

"My wife, it's better to talk less."

Huangfu Sisi never expected that the charm he showed to Gu Qing and the intentional or unintentional temptations not only did not add points to his charm, but instead Gu Qing silently deducted a lot of points for talking too much.

However, Gu Qing's colorful inner activities did not disappoint her too much, because Gu Qing later silently added another conclusion in his mind.

"But it's better to be a little more sexy when taking concubines."

The conclusion is precise and to the point, and you can tell he is someone who knows how to live a good life.

…………

Many scouts were sent out, reporting messages from different directions every day.

On the morning of the third day after Gu Qing returned to Kucha City, news came from the scouts in the southeast of Tulum Moraine Desert. They saw a small cavalry of unknown origin in the desert. The cavalry consisted of about ten people and was heading towards Kucha.

Move towards the city.

Gu Qing attached great importance to this news and immediately summoned Chang Zhong and others for discussion. Everyone agreed that this cavalry should be the forward scout of the Tibetan army, and that the Tibetan army was not far from Kucha City.

What should come will eventually come. Gu Qing immediately ordered his scouts to closely monitor the southeast direction of the Tulum Moraine Desert, and sent more scouts to take detours from the south and east to look for traces of the main Tibetan army.

"The city defense needs to continue to be strengthened. Immediately collect everything that can be used in the city and move it to the top of the city. Rolling logs, broken stones, kerosene, arrows, everything." Gu Qing pointed to Qiuci City on the map and said: "To the south

The city gate needs to be reinforced overnight, and the enemy is likely to focus on the south gate."

Chang Zhong hesitated and said: "Master Marquis, let's set up an ambush outside the city. The decisive battle should be far away from the city. There is no need to pay so much attention to city defense, right?"

Gu Qing emphasized his tone and said: "The city defense is the last line of defense for Kucha City. If the enemy does not enter our ambush, the city defense is the only lifeline for the officials and people in the city. It is always right to prepare for a rainy day."

Chang Zhong and others took the order.

After the crowd dispersed, Gu Qing looked up at the white clouds in the sky, with a look of worry on his face.

It was my first time to command a battle, and it was a battle involving tens of thousands of people. I was really nervous and anxious. The lives of tens of thousands of people in the city were all tied to a young man with no command experience. Would they also be worried about themselves?

fate?

The Tang Dynasty is no longer the Tang Dynasty during the Zhenguan period, and the outcome of battles with the enemy is now difficult to predict.

After arranging the city defense, Gu Qing led his guards to leave Kucha City and set out toward the southeast. He observed the surrounding environment and terrain along the way, galloped for more than 20 miles, and finally discovered an area of ​​undulating sand dunes.

The sand dunes are like small mountains, stretching for dozens of miles in the endless desert, with the altitude ranging from more than ten feet to several feet.

Gu Qing sat on his horse and looked around for a long time. He quickly simulated the battlefield scene of his own ambush and encounter with the enemy in his mind. After a long time, he pointed to a patch of sand dunes in front of him and said: "This is a suitable place for an ambush. The sand dunes on three sides just form a pocket shape. If the Tubo army starts from here,

After passing by, our army marched out from three sides, and finally sent an army to cut off its retreat. The enemy was in danger..."

Han Jie said: "Master Marquis, would you like to summon our army and lay an ambush in advance?"

Gu Qing shook his head: "Water has no shape, and troops have no shape. The enemy will not choose the marching route according to your wishes. It is useless for us to ambush in advance. That is something only nerds who can only copy military books can do. We cannot ambush in advance, everything has to wait.

Only when the enemy is approaching can we roughly determine their marching route..."

As he spoke, Gu Qing glanced at the undulating sand dunes in front of him again, and sighed: "It would be great if the enemy could follow my wishes and go here. It is a burial place with excellent feng shui. If they die here, their descendants will definitely make a fortune..."

"

Throughout the afternoon, Gu Qing led his guards to survey the terrain in the nearby sand dunes. After roughly memorizing the surrounding terrain, he turned around and returned to Kucha City.

Returning to Jiedushi's mansion, Gu Qing immediately ordered people to make a sand table.

It is not too difficult to make a sand table from the terrain outside Qiuci City. They are all a vast desert, but the height is different. The sand table was quickly made. Gu Qing took many small flags, frowned and stared at the sand dunes on the sand table. It took a long time to make the sand table.

A small red flag is inserted somewhere on the sand table, and then I cross my arms and continue to think, and then insert another one. Sometimes I feel it is inappropriate, so I take the small flag off the sand table and rethink the layout.

As night fell, Han Jie brought the food and said softly: "Master Marquis, it's time to eat."

Gu Qing's eyes were still staring at the sand table, and he hummed indifferently, but did not move.

Han Jie sighed: "Master Marquis, you have worked too hard. In the past few days, there has been almost no detail. General, it seems that your preparations and plans are enough. I have never seen any general working so hard. You should take a rest."

Already."

Gu Qing remained unmoved and said calmly: "Han Jie, have you ever shouldered the lives of tens of thousands of people on your shoulders?"

"No."

Gu Qing sighed lightly: "I have it, so I can't afford to lose."

The hand holding many small flags trembled slightly, Gu Qing pursed his lips, trying to suppress the panic in his heart.

In his two lives, he has never cared about winning or losing as much as he does today. In the past, no matter whether he fought with anyone, winning or losing was only about his own interests and his own future. But this time, there are still tens of thousands of innocent lives.

Being a high-ranking official had swaggered through the city. In the past, he only thought it was a privileged status. It was not until the war approached that he intuitively felt the heavy pressure behind this status.

He will have to endure more in the future.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Qing put the small flag in his hand aside and suddenly smiled freely.

"Man has done everything he can, and all the loopholes I can think of have been filled. Unless...man is not as good as God, then it is God's will. Come, let's eat."

Han Jie quickly served the food, while Gu Qing held the bowl and raised his chopsticks. When he saw a few dishes on the tray, his movements suddenly stopped, and his hand holding the chopsticks froze in mid-air for a long time.

Han Jie smiled and said: "Today's meal was cooked by the female shopkeeper of Fuzhi Inn herself. It is said that she put a lot of thought into it..."

Gu Qing still held his chopsticks motionless. The dishes in front of him were a bit mediocre in appearance, which made people lose their appetite at first glance.

For Gu Qing, eating is to taste delicious food, not to survive. When life in Shiqiao Village was so poor, the meals he cooked were still extremely exquisite and delicious, and that was called living a life.

But these few dishes in front of me...

"Did her cook's hands become crippled? Why wasn't her cook making it?" Gu Qing asked.

Han Jie was stunned and said: "The female shopkeeper said that this was her intention..."

Love is rare, and it is most difficult to accept the kindness of a beautiful woman.

So Gu Qing decisively decided not to accept it.

Putting down his chopsticks, Gu Qing said seriously: "The war is coming. I am the coach of a city. Nothing can happen to me."

Han Jie tried his best to catch up with Gu Qing's jumping thoughts: "Yes, of course nothing can happen to the Marquis."

Gu Qing calmly pointed at the food in front of him and said: "If I don't eat this meal, nothing will happen. If I eat it, it's not necessarily the case. Maybe half an hour later the soul-calling flags will be raised at the Jiedushi Palace.

Already..."

Han Jie was stunned: "It's not that serious, right? Lord Marquis, you haven't tasted this meal yet..."

"I order you to taste it."

Han Jie unceremoniously raised his chopsticks and took a bite of the steamed meat, then his face turned blue and he almost vomited it out.

Gu Qing smiled: "You see, there are actually many pitfalls in life that can be avoided easily. When the thing in front of you looks like a pit at first glance, you don't have to jump in to verify whether it is a pit... you let others

Just jump down and you’ll find out.”

Han Jie was speechless, he still wanted to vomit.

It's hard to imagine that such a beautiful girl could cook such unpalatable food. That's all. How could she have the courage to cook for the Marquis herself?

Gu Qing sighed lightly. From this point of view, Zhang Huaiyu was obviously much cuter. When she tried it once and realized that she had no talent for cooking, she gave up decisively and never tried again.

And this female shopkeeper named Du Sisi obviously has a stubborn temper. The less talented she is, the more she has to try.

"Return these dishes to the inn intact, and say that it was my order, and let the female shopkeeper eat them all for me, leaving nothing behind. If she can't eat it, I will smash her

Broken shop.”

Gu Qing felt that his order was very merciful. He was very polite by not punishing her for poisoning and murdering the coach. After all, they were friends.

…………

The next morning, the scout came again to report.

Traces of the Tibetan army have been found. They are still marching towards Kucha City on the edge of the Tulum Moraine Desert. Their number is about 20,000.

Gu Qing beat the drum to gather the generals, summoned the scouts to the Jiedushi Mansion, and asked him to mark the general marching route of the Tibetan army on the sand table.

Putting small white flags on the sand table, Gu Qing hugged his chest and murmured: "Twenty thousand of the thirty thousand people came to attack Kucha. It seems that they attach great importance to Kucha City. The Anxi Protectorate and Jiedu

It makes sense that the ambassador’s headquarters is in Qiuci City.”

Chang Zhong and others stood up and clasped their fists: "The enemy has arrived, and the last general invites you to fight!"

Gu Qing stared at the sand table and said: "Send the order, two thousand people will be left in Kucha City, and the rest of the troops will leave the city."

Pointing to a sand dune area next to the white flag on the sand table, Gu Qing planted red flags in three directions and said: "On the back of these three sand dunes, there are three thousand soldiers and horses ambushed respectively. Before engaging the enemy, we must first eliminate the enemy's
