Duan Wang's face couldn't hide his surprise, his brows slightly frowned, and he said, "How come?"

Jitong City is located in the eastern border of Western Xinjiang, why did King Yu suddenly attack Western Xinjiang? !

Gu Chenzhi guessed: "Father, King Yu's recent apprenticeship is not good, so I think he may want these thousand people to detour from Jitong City, cut off Yu Fuyun's food and grass, and let Yu Fuyun go without a fight. defeat."

Duan Wang pondered for a moment, then nodded, he also felt that it was probably because of this reason.

Western Xinjiang is the place where Duan Wang's mansion is located, and Duan Wang will naturally not let Yu Wang's army enter the Western Border like no one else.

Duan Wang's eyes flashed a murderous Limang.

His eyes turned to Gu Zezhi on the left, and he wanted Gu Zezhi to lead his troops to destroy the enemy, but before he could say anything, he heard Gu Chenzhi bravely say: "Father, why don't you let me go? Bar?"

Duan Wang looked hesitant and persuaded: "Chenzhi, your health is not good, marching to fight is too hard." Marching to fight is not only hard work, but also hard work, and the intrigue on the battlefield is no less than in the court.

Gu Chenzhi was not surprised at Duan Wang's objection. It should be said that he only felt that way.

He sighed deliberately to show weakness, and said sternly: "Father, I don't know how long the battle between the imperial court and Yuzhou will be dragged on, and I don't know if I can still play for the battle in the Western Frontier, while I can still move. , please allow me to send troops."

Duan Wang was still a little hesitant. His hesitation made Gu Chenzhi's heart even colder, and he only felt that Duan Wang was too protective of him.

Duan Wang considered for a moment, and finally agreed: "Chenzhi, don't be too reluctant."

Gu Chenzhi shook the hand hidden in his sleeve, looked at Duan Wang and said again: "Father, I am afraid that I will not be able to support my body and I will miss the overall situation. Why don't you go with me and let the third brother sit in Luo'an City, what do you think? how?"

Every sentence Gu Chenzhi said, he consciously saw Duan Wang.

In his opinion, since his father planned to support Gu Zezhi, he would definitely not give him the opportunity to make military contributions. If he offered to let his father accompany him, his father would definitely agree. In this way, even if he won, the credit would be given to him. Not in myself.

Duan Wang was worried about Gu Chenzhi's condition, so he answered without saying a word.

Gu Chenzhi smiled slightly, but the smile was not as deep as his eyes.

The father and son had different thoughts. Gu Zezhi just watched and said nothing, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Gu Chenzhi is also paying attention to Gu Zezhi. Gu Zezhi's calmness is no different from showing off to him. With his father and king as his backing, Gu Zezhi can feel at ease.

Also once, the person the father protects is himself!

Gu Chenzhi felt his chest tighten again and his throat was sweet, but he swallowed hard, turning all his dissatisfaction and gloom into a faint smile.

So, in the afternoon, King Duan personally ordered the entire army, and King Duan and Gu Chenzhi led a thousand elites to head east all the way.

This journey, non-stop, rushing through the night, finally arrived outside the Lianhe Valley in the northeastern border of Western Xinjiang at dusk the next day.

The surroundings of the Lianhe Valley were barren, and there was not even a single person in sight as far as the eye could see. The long valley was narrow and difficult to navigate, only barely enough for four or five people to ride in parallel. The mountain walls on both sides of the valley were as steep as a knife, and no grass grew.

The arrival of Duan Wang and Gu Chen's pedestrians broke the silence here.

The messy hooves and the neighing of horses were carried by the wind from between the valleys.

"Father," Gu Chenzhi pulled the horse rope, stopped the horse, and said to Duan Wang, "According to the report from the spies, a thousand elites of Yu Wang's army have arrived more than ten miles away and will arrive here soon. ."

"There is only one road in the Lianhe Valley, which is more than a mile. We only need to advance to the valley and wait for the rabbit in the narrowest part of the middle of the valley. When King Yu's army enters the valley and intercepts it, then King Yu's army will even want to retreat. , also because the valley is narrow, it is difficult to turn, and it is difficult to retreat."

"We can annihilate it in one fell swoop, leaving no survivors!"

Duan Wang nodded in agreement, "Chenzhi, just follow your plan."

King Yu's army consisted of only 1,000 men, and they drove the road for three days in a row. They were exhausted and exhausted. Western Xinjiang was the territory of their Duan Wang Mansion. This battle is sure to be won.

A thousand soldiers of the Western Border Army entered the entrance of the Lianhe Valley so slowly, the spies in front would go to the other end of the valley from time to time to investigate the movements of King Yu's army.

"My lord, Yu Wang's army is still six miles away from the valley."

"One thousand cavalry were lightly dressed and did not carry any siege equipment."

"There are still less than three miles."

At this time, Duan Wang and his party also came to the middle of the valley, and Gu Chenzhi proposed again: "Father, I think this location is suitable, and the terrain just happens to cover our whereabouts. King Yu's army wants to bypass the front of the mountain. to find us."

As a result, the group stopped, and their horses all held their breaths and waited.

It didn't take long for the sound of hurried horses' hooves to be vaguely heard from the other end of the valley.

Even if no spies came to report, King Duan knew that the thousand cavalry of King Yu's army should have entered the Lianhe Valley.

Duan Wang's expression froze, Gu Chenzhi's right hand pulled the horse rope, and he looked calm on the outside, but he was actually ready to go.

The sound of the horse's hooves in front was getting closer and closer, Duan Wang made a gesture, and the soldiers in the back either drew their swords, or drew bows and arrows.

"It deserves..."

After a while, a cavalry with bronze helmets and iron armor appeared in front, and came on horses with great momentum.

The time has come!

Duan Wang narrowed his eyes, waved his hand and ordered, "Kill Wushe!"

The next moment, saw that several feather arrows on Duan Wang's side were all turned around, but their arrow tips were not aimed at the ene in front, but Duan Wang!

The owners of these feather arrows are all personal guards of the prince Gu Chenzhi.

The bows in their hands were like a full moon, and as soon as they let go of the bowstrings, these feathered arrows would shoot into Duan Wang's body from all directions.

Duan Wang has no chance of life!

"..."

The thousand soldiers of the Western Border Army in the rear looked at the scene in shock, and they all dared not move.

Duan Wang's heart sank, and his face changed slightly.

Ahead, the thousand Yu King's army was still approaching here, and soon bypassed the front of the mountain and entered King Duan's field of vision. They also obviously saw the Xijiang Army blocked in the valley, but they did not slow down, and continued to ride their horses without stopping.

Duan Wang's eyes were almost stared to the extreme, thinking of a certain possibility, he looked at Gu Chenzhi in disbelief, "Chenzhi, you..."

The corners of Gu Chenzhi's lips curled into a smile, and at this moment, there was a hint of strangeness in this smile.

The thousand Yu King's army stopped more than ten feet away, their horses were breathing heavily because of fatigue, and their iron hooves were eagerly pacing, adding a kind of depression to the surrounding area.

The leader of the Yu Wang army bowed his hands to Gu Chenzhi, "Your Highness."

At the same time, the soldiers of King Yu's army beside him also raised their bows and arrows, and the coldly gleaming arrow tips were also aimed at King Duan.

The air in the valley seemed to freeze, and even the oncoming wind was chilled, and the sky above did not know when it was overcast.

Gu Chenzhi was still calm, as if everything was under his control.

At this point, Duan Wang naturally wanted to understand everything, but he still couldn't believe it in his heart, or he didn't want to believe it.

Duan Wang seemed to have been slapped a few times, his face was extremely ugly, and he asked in a hoarse voice: "Chenzhi, are you crazy?"

His heart was sour, sweet, bitter, salty, mixed with five flavors, and indescribably complicated. Even he himself didn't know whether it was more shock, disappointment, or heartache.

Gu Chenzhi looked at Duan Wang coldly, and said with a kind of aloofness, "Father, you forced me."

That's right, it's all the father's fault!

When he found out that his father had poisoned him, he thought about trying to seize power. It would be too difficult to take down his father by himself, so he thought of King Yu.

He knew that King Yu was afraid of the western border, for fear that when King Yu's army was on the northern expedition, the western border would take advantage of the emptiness to enter Yuzhou, and then Yuzhou would fall into a state of burning at both ends.

King Yu would definitely help himself, and helping himself would also help him.

So, Gu Chenzhi quickly sent someone to send a secret letter to King Yu.

In the letter, he told King Yu that his father, King Yuzhong, planned to swear allegiance to the imperial court. If King Yu wanted the assistance of the Western Xinjiang, he would help him kill his father, and he would take over the king's title and take over the military power in the Western Xinjiang.

This plan was proposed by him, and asked King Yu to send a thousand troops of King Yu from Jitong City into the western border, and then through the Lianhe Valley, and he could use this to coax his father out of Luo'an City and ambush his father in one fell swoop. .

In fact, in Duanwangfu and Luoancheng camp, he can also do it, but things can't be done as beautifully as they are at the moment.

Gu Chenzhi's eyes became colder and colder, and he did not hide the sullenness in his eyes, and said slowly: "I have been this prince for a long time."

For more than 20 years, he, Prince Duan, looked bright, but he was actually struggling. With so many eyes looking at him, everyone expected him to be the best of the best. Who understands his difficulties!

Until this moment, Gu Chenzhi was relieved, feeling like a phoenix nirvana, reborn from the ashes!

Duan Wang's heart tensed, and the disappointment in his heart could not be expressed in words.

For this eldest son, he placed all his hopes.

Duan Wang took a deep breath and asked with difficulty, "Chenzhi, you colluded with King Yu?"

Although he had already confirmed this in his heart, he couldn't help but want to hear a definite reply from the eldest son.

Gu Chenzhi did not deny it, and said lightly: "Father, if you want to be foolish and loyal, just go by yourself."

Anyway, in the father's heart, there is only one son, Gu Zezhi. He is a concubine, and he is naturally inferior to the heir, so he can only fight for his own future.

He has given so much and will never be a stepping stone for their father and son.

Since the father and the king abandoned him, don't blame him for not being fond of father and son!

"..." Duan Wang's heart set off a storm, and his throat was bitter.

Although the eldest son once mentioned that he wanted to befriend Prince Yu's mansion last year, but after he objected, the eldest son never mentioned it again. King Duan always thought that he had really given up, but he did not want the eldest son not only to not give up, but also to give birth to his biological father. Killing intent.

Duan Wang did not expect that the prince would become like this!

Gu Chenzhi is his eldest son, and the princess has not had a son for many years, so he has long regarded the eldest son as his heir and trained him with all his heart. The military and politics were gradually handed over to him, and even if the princess gave birth to Zezhi later, he never thought of wanting the throne to Zezhi.

He was afraid that Zezhi would give birth to unreasonable dissent, so he had been telling Zezhi since he was a child that his eldest brother was the prince and the heir of Duan Wangfu; he told Zezhi to do his best to assist the prince.

For so many years, he had devoted himself to the prince, but the prince regarded him as a stumbling block, and even went against his will, secretly colluding with King Yu, intending to rebel.

What the hell is he thinking? !

Duan Wang looked at Gu Chenzhi in shock, feeling that Gu Chenzhi in front of him was so unfamiliar.

On the contrary, Gu Chenzhi felt that the depression and indignation during this period of time had been swept away, and he was extremely happy: the father thought that he was the fish under his knife, and he let him slaughter it.

Now he is the knife, and the father is the fish on the chopping board!

Duan Wang said with difficulty: "Why? Chenzhi, do you know that you committed the crime of murdering your father and treason."

He really couldn't understand why Gu Chenzhi did this.

Gu Chenzhi is the prince of Duan Wang, the future Duan Wang, and the title of prince. What good can he do to help King Yu in his rebellion? Even if King Yu really succeeds in rebelling, he can't share this country with Gu Chenzhi. !

It is impossible for Duan Wangfu to go further!

Gu Chenzhi hooked the corner of his mouth, sneered, and said with a smile: "Father, you are wrong."

"It's not me, it's Gu Zezhi."

"It was Gu Zezhi who colluded with King Yu in order to inherit the title of King Duan, murdered his father and seized power, and was despised by others."

"This is the consequence of your partiality, Father!"

If it wasn't for his father's partiality, how could he be forced to this step!

eccentric? ! Duan Wang's heart seemed to be crushed by something heavy, and the pain was like a twist.

He is partial, and he has always known that he is partial, but Gu Chenzhi has always been partial.

However, Gu Chenzhi had already decided that Duan Wang was partial to Gu Zezhi, so that every hurt expression of Duan Wang made him feel happy.

"Father, you and Zezhi forced me. You want me to make room for Zezhi." Gu Chenzhi said slowly, "I'm just protecting myself, you forced me to do this."

With Gu Chenyi's accusations, Duan Wang's expression became even more painful, and the whole person seemed to be drained of energy, and suddenly aged several years.

He pulled the reins tightly, with blue veins bursting out on the back of his hand, and suddenly asked, "Chenzhi, is it really you who poisoned the princess?" His voice was hoarse again.

From what Gu Chenzhi heard, Duan Wang was asking the question knowingly.

He calmly asked back, "Father, didn't you already know?" Otherwise, why would Father secretly give him the incense of Jiu Heng, fearing that he would try to repay him with his own way? Think about it.

"..." Duan Wang seemed to have been stabbed several times in his heart by Gu Chenzhi, and the icy cold wind whistled through the hollow, and his expression became even more painful.

The princess and Zezhi told him that it was the prince and the prince's concubine, but he never believed that the prince did it. He was still looking for various excuses in his heart to make himself believe that he was not the prince. For this reason, he also fell out with the princess. Now, forcing the princess to be righteous with him.

Even so, he didn't suspect that the prince had passed away, but only thought that the princess and Zezhi had misunderstood the prince.

For the status of the prince, he kept Zezhi in the capital as a pledge to reassure the emperor; for the sake of the prince, he made Zezhi unable to marry a famous and noble girl, delaying Zezhi's marriage for so many years, and finally he could only aggrieve Zezhi's marriage Qin Di, who has the name of a noble daughter, was raised in the countryside since she was a child...

However, now the prince told him that he really did it, that he really poisoned the princess.

When he recognized this time, Duan Wang naturally understood why the prince wanted to attack the princess. He wanted to help Concubine Feng as the princess, and he wanted to occupy the position of the eldest son.

Therefore, on the way Zezhi came to the capital from the western Xinjiang the year before, the person who sent the killer to assassinate Zezhi was also the prince. He was worried that the existence of Zezhi would jeopardize the status of his prince...

It was my fault that I was blindfolded and blindfolded, and I was always reluctant to believe in the clear ambitions of the prince.

Gu Chenzhi enjoyed Duan Wang's ever-changing face, smiled, and announced, "That's it."

Duan Wang's face became even more ugly.

He suddenly realized that the prince not only wanted to die himself, but also...

"Chenzhi, do you want this king and this thousand soldiers to die here?"

Only in this way can Gu Chenzhi put the blame on Zezhi logically, because he can't leave any witnesses.

Although Duan Wang was already 99% sure about this in his heart, he couldn't help but ask, and his heart was even colder.

"Not bad." Gu Chenzhi bluntly admitted it.

Otherwise, why would he need to ask King Yu to help him and make things so troublesome!

In today's battle, only he and his personal guards can survive, and he will "take down" a man from King Yu's army, who will accuse Gu Zezhi of colluding with King Yu and murdering his father.

At that time, Gu Zezhi's reputation will be completely stinky, even if he has a hundred mouths, he can't tell.

Gu Zezhi will die, and this western border will be his Gu Chenzhi.

He had to dismember Gu Zezhi's five horses to dispel the hatred in his heart.

Duan Wang's chest hurt even more, the pain was throbbing in waves, and the pain was more and more painful, as if something was gouging out his heart.

From the beginning to the end, it turned out that he had never known this son.

The son he longed for, the son he raised personally, turned out to be evil, and turned out to be a ghost and not a human being.

It turns out that the one who was so wrong has always been himself!

Gu Chenzhi sneered, pulled out the long sword from the scabbard, and ordered the army of King Yu in front of him, repeating the three words before King Duan: "Kill Wushe!"

There must be no one left alive today!

Gu Chenzhi's expression was ruthless, and the long sword in his hand stabbed Duan Wang's chest without hesitation...

This sword, with the determination to kill decisively.

Duan Wang watched the cold sword approaching him motionlessly. He still didn't want to believe that the prince would do something to him, and looked at him without blinking.

However, Gu Chenzhi's sword was not slow, and he did not hide the bloodlust in his eyes.

The next moment, a sword penetrated the armor and pierced into his chest.

The severe pain made Duan Wang wake up.

Duan Wang suddenly waved his hand.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, there was a sharp air breaking sound from the mountain wall behind the right, and a feather arrow broke through the air and shot over like lightning.

An arrow was shot from Gu Chenzhi's back, and the bloody arrow tip was exposed from the front of his chest, penetrating his body.

Blood dripped from the tip of the arrow "tick tock".

Gu Chenzhi: "!!!"

"It deserves..."

There was another hurried and messy hooves from the rear of King Yu's army, and then, a panicked voice came from the rear of King Yu's army: "It's not good! A thousand troops from the Western Borders are coming here."

Not only that, but on the mountain walls on both sides of the valley, behind some rocks, archers appeared one after another, and all the bows and arrows in their hands were aimed at the King Yu army below.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The rain of arrows shot down like a meteor shower, and there was a tragic wailing sound in the valley. One by one, the soldiers of King Yu's army fell from their horses, but in the blink of an eye, the valley was filled with a thick smell of blood.

A bloody storm came suddenly!

But not in Gu Chenzhi's way.

He has realized that this is a set trap.

Gu Chenzhi's eyes were blood red, covered with blood threads like spider silk, and he hated in his heart: Father Wang actually set a trap to harm himself!

He stared at Duan Wang with a split canthus. If his eyes could kill people, Duan Wang might have been wiped out.

In just one cup of tea, the situation was reversed twice.

The thousand soldiers behind Duan Wang were also frightened and anxious, their hearts slammed together and then slammed down, their emotions were too complicated to describe.

A line of blood escaped from the corner of Duan Wang's mouth. He covered his chest with his right hand, and the dark red blood spilled from between his fingers.

The resolute face under the helmet was pale and bloodless, and looked so weak.

However, the eyes he looked at Gu Chenzhi were as firm as a rock.

He misunderstood the prince. He was blind. Even if he died, he deserved it. Even if he went to the Palace of the King of Hell, he would not sue.

Who let the prince be his son, he raised him and taught him.

The child does not teach, the father too!

Duan Wang was Duan Wang after all. He lived for half a hundred years and experienced three dynasties. He did not know how many ups and downs he had seen in his life.

No matter how heartbroken and disheartened he was at the moment because of the prince's betrayal, at this moment, his reason still prevailed.

The prince is the son he has loved all his life, but he cannot risk the lives of a thousand soldiers.

These soldiers joined the army to protect their families and the country, and he could not let them die in the privacy of his son.

The sound of horses' hooves at the other end of the valley in front of them was even closer, and King Yu's army was completely chaotic.

At this moment, they could not enter, let alone retreat, like trapped beasts, they could only struggle to the death.

There was a lot of noise around, but it couldn't reach Duan Wang's ears.

Probably because of the pain, King Duan's mind was surprisingly calm at this time, and he thought of what Gu Zezhi had said to him in private before leaving for this trip: "Father, we may be able to use this thousand Yu King's army to make another effort. other things."

"As long as we wipe them all out, pretend to be them, go to the back of Shipeng City, and pretend to rob the court's food and grass, we can lure King Yu to raid Shipeng City, and we will join forces with Yu Fuyun to attack King Yu's army. Unprepared."

"In this way, it will definitely hit the morale of King Yu's army again. What does King Father think?"

Duan Wang thinks this plan is feasible.

But in this case, it is necessary to wipe out the thousand cavalry of King Yu's army, and there cannot be a single fish that slips through the net.

If they just want to intercept the thousand Yu King's army, the one thousand Western Xinjiang army is more than enough. After all, as long as the place is repulsed, even if the task is completed, but if they want to wipe out the enemy army, relying on their trip to bring One thousand people are not enough.

However, he couldn't bring more people on this trip. There were too many people and the goal was too big. He was worried that he would be noticed by the people of King Yu's army. Once the news leaked, the plan would fail. Therefore, King Duan took the initiative to outflank the front and back. plan.

He and Shizi led the troops at the bright place to attract the attention of King Yu's army.

He originally planned to tell the prince about this plan, but he changed his mind because of Gu Zezhi's words: "Father, don't tell the prince that this is my idea... The prince is so strong."

Duan Wang also felt that Gu Zezhi's concerns were justified.

The prince has always been strong, but now he is sick again. If he were to know that Gu Zezhi had the idea to impersonate the Yu King's army, he would probably feel that he had presupposed an ambush and didn't believe in his ability.

Perhaps instead, he would try to take this thousand people to Shipeng City, so King Duan didn't say anything.

He did not expect that he concealed the kindness of the prince, but instead saved the lives of the thousands of soldiers in the Western Xinjiang present, so that the Western Xinjiang would not be attacked by the enemy.
