The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending - Chapter 133

Duan Wang’s face was hard to hide his shock, his brows frowned slightly, and he said, “How come?”

Jitong City is located in the eastern border of Western Xinjiang. Why did King Yu suddenly act on the western Xinjiang? !

Gu Chenzhi guessed: “Father, King Yu recently had a bad start, so I think he might want these thousand people to take a detour from Jitong City, cut off Yu Fuyun’s grain and grass, and let Yu Fuyun go without fighting. defeat.”

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

Xijiang is the place of Duanwang Mansion, and Duanwang will naturally not let the army of Yuwang enter into the land of no one in Xijiang.

A murderous light flashed through Duan Wang’s eyes.

He looked at Gu Zezhi on the left, and wanted Gu Zezhi to lead his troops to wipe out the enemy, but before he could say anything, he listened to Gu Chenzhi’s arrogance and bravely said: “Father, let me go. Right?”

Duan Wang looked hesitant and persuaded: “Morning, you are not in good health, and the marching war is too exhausting.” The marching war is not only laborious, but more laborious, and the intrigue on the battlefield is no less than that on the court.

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

He deliberately sighed weakly, and said with a serious face: “Father, the battle between the court and Yuzhou will be delayed. I don’t know if I can play for the battle of Xijiang, while I can still move. Please my father, Wang En, let me send troops.”

Duan Wang still hesitated a little, his hesitation made Gu Chenzhi’s heart even colder, and he only felt that Duan Wang was too much to defend him.

King Duan thought for a while, and finally agreed: “Chenzhi, don’t be too reluctant.”

Gu Chenzhi shook his hands hidden in his sleeves and looked at King Duan and said: “Father, I’m afraid that my body won’t be able to hold up and I will miss the overall situation. Why don’t you go with me and let your third brother sit in Luoan City? how is it?”

Every sentence Gu Chenzhi said consciously spotted King Duan.

In his opinion, since the father wants to support Gu Zezhi, he will definitely not give himself a chance to make military merits. If he actively proposes to let the father go with him, the father will definitely agree, so even if he wins, the credit Not in myself.

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

Gu Chenzhi smiled slightly, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.

The father and son had different thoughts. Gu Zezhi just watched the whole process without saying a word, as if it 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 as the backing, Gu Zezhi can be calm and unreliable.

Also once, the person defended by the father is himself!

Gu Chenzhi felt that his chest was tight again and his throat was sweet, but he swallowed it abruptly, turning all his dissatisfaction and depression into a faint smile.

Therefore, in the afternoon, King Duan personally ordered the reorganization of the army, and King Duan and Gu Chenzhi led a thousand elites, hurriedly marching eastward.

Along the way, he drove non-stop and drove all night, and finally arrived outside the Lianhe Valley in the northeastern border of Western Xinjiang in the evening of the next day.

The surrounding area of ​​Lianhe Valley is deserted, and you can’t even see any people in your eyes. The long valley is narrow and difficult to navigate. It is barely enough for four or five people to ride a horse. The walls on both sides of the valley are as steep as a knife cut, and no grass grows.

The arrival of King Duan and Gu Chen, one of the pedestrians, broke the silence here.

The sound of messy horse hooves and the neighing of horses followed the wind from the valleys.

“Father,” Gu Chenzhi pulled the horse rope, stopped the horse, and said to the king, “According to the spies, the thousand elite of the army of the king of Henan have reached more than a dozen miles away and will arrive here soon. .”

“This Lianhe Valley has only one road, which is more than one mile. We only need to advance to the valley and wait for the rabbits in the narrowest part of the valley, and wait for the king of Henan army to enter the valley and intercept it. Then, even if the king of Henan wants to retreat. , Because the valley is narrow, it is not easy to turn, and it is difficult to retreat.”

“We can wipe it out in one fell swoop, without leaving alive!”

King Duan nodded in agreement, “Morning, it’s up to you.”

The army of the king of Henan had only one thousand people. They drove on the road for three consecutive days. The soldiers were exhausted. Xijiang was the site of their palace. The thousand people he brought with him on this trip were the elites of the army. There is a certainty of victory in this battle.

A thousand soldiers of the Western Xinjiang Army entered the entrance of Lianhe Valley so slowly, and the spies in front went to the other side of the valley from time to time to investigate the movements of the King Yu army.

“Master, the army of Wang Yu is still six miles away from the valley.”

“A thousand cavalry is lightly outfitted and simple, without any siege equipment.”

“There is less than three miles left.”

At this time, King Duan and his party also came to the middle section of the valley. Gu Chenzhi once again proposed: “Father, I think this location is suitable. It just happens that there is a terrain that can conceal our whereabouts. The army of the king of Henan wants to bypass the mountain col in front. To discover us.”

As a result, the group of people stopped, and their horses all silenced and waited.

Before long, there was a faint rush of horseshoes on the other side of the valley. The sound of horseshoes became louder and louder and gradually mixed with echoes.

Even if there were no detectives, King Duan knew that the thousand cavalrymen of King Yu’s army should have entered Lianhe Valley.

King Duan’s expression condensed, Gu Chenzhi’s right hand pulled the horse rope, his appearance looked calm and calm, but he was actually ready to go.

The sound of horseshoes in the front was getting closer, and King Duan made a gesture. The soldiers in the back either drew knives or bows and arrows.

“Well…”

After a while, a cavalry with a copper helmet and iron armor appeared in front, riding a horse with great momentum.

The time has come!

Duan Wang squinted his eyes, waved his hand and ordered, “Kill without mercy!”

In the next moment, I saw that the few feather arrows on the side of King Duan all turned their directions, but their arrows were not aimed at the enemy in front, but King Duan!

The owners of these feather arrows are all guards of the elder son Gu Chenzhi.

The bow in their hands is like a full moon. As soon as they loosen the bowstring, these feather arrows will shoot into King Duan’s body from all directions.

King Duan has no chance to survive!

“…”

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

Duan Wang felt a little bit in his heart, his face changed slightly.

Ahead, the thousand king Yu army was still approaching here, quickly bypassing the mountain col in front, and entered King Duan’s field of vision. They obviously also saw the Xijiang Army stuck in the valley, but they did not slow down, and continued to gallop indefinitely.

King Duan’s eyes almost stared to the extreme, thinking of a certain possibility, he looked at Gu Chenzhi in disbelief, “Chenzhi, you…”

Gu Chenzhi’s lips curled up with a smile, and at this moment, this smile was filled with an inexplicable weirdness.

The army of the thousand king Yu stopped ten feet away, and their horses were spraying rough air because of fatigue, and their iron hooves paced eagerly, adding a sense of despair to the surrounding area.

The head of the generals of the Wang Yu army arched his hands to Gu Chenzhi, “Shi Ziye.”

At the same time, several soldiers of Wang Yu’s army beside him also raised their bows and arrows, and the gleaming arrows pointed at Duan Wang.

The air in the valley seemed to freeze, and even the oncoming wind was catching chill, and the sky above did not know when the clouds were overcast.

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

At this point, Duan Wang naturally wanted to understand everything, but he still couldn’t believe it, or rather, he didn’t want to believe it.

King Duan seemed to have been slapped several times, his face was extremely ugly, and his voice was hoarse and asked: “Chenzhi, are you crazy?”

His heart was sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty, with mixed flavors, and unspeakable complexity. Even he himself didn’t know whether it was shocked, disappointed, or heartache.

Gu Chenzhi looked at King Duan with cold eyes, with a kind of dust settled high above him, and said: “Father, you forced me.”

Yes, it’s all father’s fault!

When he discovered that his father had poisoned him, he thought about trying to seize power. It was too difficult for him to take down his father, so he thought of Yu Wang.

He knew that the king of Yu was jealous of western Xinjiang, for fear that when the army of the king of Yu came to the northern expedition, Xijiang would take advantage of the vacancy and break into Yuzhou, then Yuzhou would fall into a two-end burn.

Wang Yu will definitely help himself, and helping himself is also helping him.

Therefore, Gu Chenzhi hurriedly sent people to send a secret letter to the king of Yu.

In the letter, he told King Yu that his father was so loyal and planned to swear allegiance to the court. If King Yu wanted the cooperation of Xijiang, he would help himself to kill his father, and he would take over the prince and take control of the army in the west.

This plan was put forward by him. King Yu sent a thousand army of King Yu from Jitong City into the Western Xinjiang, and then walked through Lianhe Valley, and he could use this to coax his father out of Luo’an City and kill his father in one fell swoop. .

In fact, he was able to do things in the Duan Palace and Luo’an City Camp, but there was no way that things could be done as beautifully as it is now.

Gu Chenzhi’s eyes were getting colder and colder, and he didn’t hide the dark bird in his eyes, and slowly said, “I have been a son of this world long enough.”

In the past twenty years, he, the prince of the king, looked glamorous, but he was actually struggling. With so many eyes looking at him, everyone expected him to be blue and blue, and who understood his difficulties!

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

Duan Wang’s heart tightened, and his disappointment could not be expressed in words.

For this eldest son, he placed all hopes.

King Duan took a deep breath and asked with difficulty: “Chenzhi, have you colluded with King Yu?”

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

Gu Chenzhi didn’t deny it, and said lightly: “Father, if you want to be foolish and loyal, go by yourself.”

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

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

Since the father gave him away, don’t blame him for not thinking about the love between father and son!

“…” A turbulent wave was set off in King Duan’s heart, and his throat was bitter.

Although last year Shizi once mentioned that he wanted to befriend the Prince Yu’s Mansion, but after he opposed it, Shizi never mentioned it again. King Duan always thought that he really gave up, but didn’t want Shizi not only did not give up, but also gave birth to his biological father. Killing intent.

King Duan had no idea that Shi Zi would become like this!

Gu Chenzhi is his eldest son, and the princess has no children for many years, so he has long regarded the eldest son as his heir and worked hard to nurture him. Since the eldest son was named the eldest son, he has made every effort to support the eldest son and protect Xijiang’s The military and political affairs were gradually handed over to him. Even if the princess gave birth to Zezhi later, he never thought of wanting to give Zezhi the seat of the son.

He was afraid that Zezhi would be born with unreasonable dissatisfaction, so he had been telling Zezhi since he was a child that his eldest brother was the eldest son, he was the heir to the palace of Duan; he told Zezhi to assist the eldest son with all his strength.

For so many years, he was dedicated to his son, but the son regarded him as a stumbling block, and against his wishes, he secretly colluded with the king of Yu with intent to rebel.

Shizi, what is he thinking? !

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

On the contrary, Gu Chenzhi felt that the depression and indignation during this period of time was wiped out, and he was very happy: Father thought he was the fish under his knife, and let him slaughter him, I am afraid that he would never be able to come back.

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

Duan Wang said grimly: “Why? Chenzhi, do you know that you committed the crime of father killing and treason.”

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

Gu Chenzhi is the son of King Duan, the future King Duan, and the title of prince. What good can he help King Yu in his rebellion? Even if King Yu really succeeds in his rebellion, he cannot share this piece of land with Gu Chenzhi. !

Duanwangfu can’t go further!

Gu Chenzhi twitched 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 wanted to inherit the title of King Duan, so he colluded with King Yu and killed his father to seize power. He was disdainful.”

“This is the consequence of your partiality, Father!”

If it weren’t for his father’s partiality, how could he be forced to this point!

eccentric? ! King Duan’s heart seemed to be crushed by something heavy, and it was painful.

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

However, Gu Chenzhi had already determined that King Duan was partial to Gu Zezhi, so that every wounded expression on King Duan made him feel happy.

“Father, you and Zezhi forced me. You want me to give Ze Zhi teng a seat.” Gu Chenzhi slowly said, “I just want to protect myself. You forced me to do this.”

Following Gu Chen’s one-to-one accusation, Duan Wang’s expression became more painful, and his whole person was as if his energy had been taken away, and he grew old for several years.

He pulled the reins tightly, and the back of his hand burst into blue veins, and suddenly asked: “Morning, the princess is really poisoned by you?” His voice became hoarse again.

Gu Chenzhi heard that King Duan was asking knowingly.

He calmly asked, “Father, didn’t you know it a long time ago?” Otherwise, how could the father secretly give him the nine-harmony incense, fearing that he would treat him with his own way. Ideas.

“…” Duan Wang seemed to have been stabbed several times by Gu Chenzhi in his heart, and the cold wind blew through the hollow, his expression even more painful.

The princess and Zezhi told him that it was the poison of the elder son and the elder concubine, but he never believed that it was the elder son who did it. He was still making all kinds of excuses in his heart to convince himself that he was not the elder son. For this reason, he fell out with the princess. , Forced the princess to fight with him.

Even so, he didn’t doubt the deceased son, only that it was the princess and Zezhi who had misunderstood the deceased son.

For the sake of the status of the son, he kept Zezhi in the capital as a pledge to let the emperor feel at ease; for the sake of the son, he prevented Zezhi from marrying famous ladies and delayed Zezhi’s marriage for so many years. In the end, he could only marry Zezhi. Qin Jiu, who has the name of a noble girl but was raised in the countryside since childhood…

However, now the son told him that he really did it, and it was really his poison to the princess.

After recognizing this, King Duan naturally understood why the elder son wanted to act on the princess. He wanted to help him to help Feng concubine as the princess, and he wanted to occupy the position of the eldest son.

Therefore, the person who sent a killer to assassinate Zezhi was also the son of Zezhi on the way to the capital from the western Xinjiang two years ago. He was worried that Zezhi’s existence would endanger his son’s status…

I was wrong, I was blindfolded, blindfolded, and always reluctant to believe in the blatant ambition of the son.

Gu Chenzhi enjoyed Duan Wang’s rapidly changing face, smiled, and declared, “That’s it.”

Duan Wang’s face became even more ugly again.

He suddenly realized that the world not only wanted to die by himself, but also…

“Chenzhi, do you want this king and these thousand soldiers to die here?”

Only in this way, Gu Chenzhi can logically blame Zezhi for the crime, because he cannot leave any personal evidence.

Although King Duan was already ninety-nine percent sure of this in his heart, he couldn’t help but ask, and his heart became even more chilling.

“Not bad.” Gu Chenzhi confessed bluntly.

Otherwise, why should he let King Yu help this and make things so troublesome!

In today’s battle, only he and his guards can survive, and he will also “take down” a member of the Yu King’s army. This person will accuse Gu Zezhi of colluding with the Yu King and rebelling against his father.

By then, Gu Zezhi’s reputation would be completely stinking, even if he had a hundred mouths, he couldn’t tell.

Gu Zezhi must die, and this Xijiang will be his Gu Chenzhi.

He had to divide Gu Zezhi’s five horses into pieces to dispel his hatred.

Duan Wang’s chest hurts even more, with throbbing pains, one after another, as if something was plucking his heart.

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

The son he was thinking of, the son he brought up personally, turned out to be a ghost and inhuman.

It turns out that the person who made a big mistake has always been himself!

Gu Chenzhi sneered, drew out the long sword from the scabbard, and ordered the army of King Yu ahead to repeat the three words before King Duan: “Kill without mercy!”

Never leave a living mouth today!

Gu Chenzhi looked cold and ruthless, and the long sword in his hand stabbed King Duan’s chest without hesitation…

This sword, with a decisive determination to kill.

King Duan watched the cold shining long sword approaching him motionlessly. He still doesn’t want to believe that Shi Zi would do it to himself, and looked at him without blinking.

However, Gu Chenzhi’s sword did not slow down, and he did not hide the bloodthirsty in his eyes.

In the next instant, a sword penetrated the armor and pierced his chest.

The severe pain awakened Duan Wang.

King Duan suddenly waved his hand.

“Wow!”

Suddenly, there was a violent breaking sound on the mountain wall behind right, and a feather arrow broke through the air and shot it like lightning.

An arrow shot in from Gu Chenzhi’s back, and the **** point of the arrow protruded from his chest and penetrated his body.

Blood dripped from the arrow tip “tick tick”.

Gu Chenzhi: “!!!”

“Well…”

There was another rush of messy horseshoes from the rear of the Yu’s army, and then a panicked voice came from the rear of the Yu’s army: “It’s not good! There are a thousand western army coming here.”

Not only that, on the mountain walls on both sides of the valley, behind some rocks, archers appeared, and their bows and arrows were all aimed at the army of Wang Yu below.

“Swish swish!”

A rain of arrows shot down like a meteor shower, and a terrible wailing sounded in the valley. One by one, the soldiers of the King Yu army fell from their horses, but with the click of a finger, the valley was filled with a strong smell of blood.

A **** storm has suddenly come!

But not in the way that Gu Chen would like.

He has realized that this is a set trap.

Gu Chenzhi’s eyes were blood-red, covered with spider-like bloodshot eyes, and his heart was bitter: The father set a trap to harm himself!

He stared at King Duan with canthus. If his eyes could kill, King Duan would have been wiped out.

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

The thousand soldiers behind King Duan were also shocked and anxious, their hearts slammed together and fell again, and their moods were beyond words.

A line of blood escaped from the corner of King Duan’s mouth. He covered his chest with his right hand, and the red blood overflowed between his fingers.

The resolute face under the helmet was so pale without a trace of blood, it looked so weak.

However, the expression in his eyes looking at Gu Chenzhi was as firm as a rock.

He misunderstood the elder son. He was blind. Even if he died, he deserved it. Even if he went to the Palace of the Lord of Gods, he would not complain.

Who made the elder son his son, he raised him and taught him.

The child does not teach, the father too!

After all, King Duan is King Duan. He has lived for half a hundred and has experienced three dynasties. He has never seen so many ups and downs in his life. He retired in the overlapping throne and lived to the present.

Even if he was so heartbroken and discouraged because of the betrayal of his son, at this moment, his reason had the upper hand.

Shizi is the son he has loved all his life, but he cannot use the lives of a thousand soldiers to risk.

These soldiers joined the army to protect their families and the country, and he couldn’t let them die in the privacy of his own son.

The sound of horseshoes at the other end of the valley ahead approached, and Wang Yu’s army was completely chaotic, like a pot of boiling water, noisy.

At this moment, they can’t get in, let alone retreat, just like a trapped beast, they can only struggle to death.

There was a noisy noise around, but it did not reach King Duan’s ears.

Probably because of the pain, King Duan’s mind was surprisingly calm at this time. He thought of the words that Gu Zezhi had said to him in private before leaving this trip: “Father, we may be able to use this thousand Yu Wang’s army Seek other things.”

“As long as we wipe them all out, pretend to be them, go to the back of Shipeng City and pretend to have robbed the court’s food and grass, we can lure King Yu to raid Shipeng City, and we will fight together with Yu Fuyun and attack King Yu’s army. Caught off guard.”

“In this way, the morale of King Yu’s army can be hit again, what does the father think?”

Duan Wang thinks this plan is feasible.

But in this way, it is necessary to wipe out all the cavalry of King Yu’s army, and there can be no fish that slip through the net.

If they just want to intercept the Qianyu King Army, one thousand Western Xinjiang Army will be more than enough. After all, as long as the place is repelled, even if the mission is completed, they want to wipe out the enemy army, relying on their trip. This thousand people is not enough.

However, this trip cannot bring more people. There are too many people and the goal is too big. He is worried that he will be detected by the people of the Yu Wang army. Once the news is revealed, the plan will fail. Therefore, Duan Wang took the initiative to outflank. Plan.

He and Shizi led the troops in the bright place to attract the attention of the army of the king of Henan. The others outflanked and lie in ambush in the valley from the rear, not allowing an enemy to escape.

He originally intended to tell the son of this plan, but because of Gu Zezhi’s words, he changed his mind: “Father, don’t tell the son that this is my idea… The son is so strong.”

King Duan also felt that Gu Zezhi’s concerns were justified.

Shi Zi has always been so strong, but now he is sick again. If you let him know that Gu Zezhi had the idea of ​​pretending to be Wang Yu’s army, I’m afraid he would think that he had presumed an ambush and didn’t believe his ability.

Maybe he would try to take these thousand people to Shipeng City instead, so King Duan didn’t say anything.

He didn’t expect that his kind concealment from his son would save the lives of the thousands of soldiers and soldiers in the Western Xinjiang who were present, so that Xijiang would not suffer from the enemy.
