A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

After all the talk, when it was time to coordinate the current battle situation, the two kings were not joking.

Since both of them led Yi soldiers who originally guarded the capital, even King Lanling, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, had only tens of thousands of Yi and Han soldiers at his direct command.

Generally speaking, the Yi-Han military division system of the Northern Qi Dynasty is very different from the garrison system since the Qin and Han Dynasties. On the other hand, the Northern Zhou Dynasty followed the imperial military system founded by the Empress of the Western Wei Dynasty.The military system of the government was inherited from Yuan Mingjing, a princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty, who brought her family from the Six Towns Uprising. She and her right-hand man were the eight generals who led the army. As the emperor, she was responsible for decision-making and dispatching, and her subordinate Yu Wentai. Responsible for leadership and jurisdiction.

During the reign of Datong in the Western Wei Dynasty, the empress Yuan Mingjing of the Western Wei Dynasty established eight generals of the Zhuguo State throughout the country. The emperor was responsible for decision-making, and Yu Wentai was in charge of the internal and external military affairs of the country, which was called the Shangzhu State.Therefore, in fact, it is the generals of the six pillar countries who command and manage the national army.

Each of these six pillar states supervises two generals, and the twelve generals manage two more kaifus. Each kaifu leads an army, so there are 24 armies in the country.During wartime, the central government not only ordered the generals to open the government, but also temporarily appointed generals and equipped them with soldiers and horses, which weakened the power of the generals. In terms of household registration management, the place of origin of the soldiers was removed from the civilian registration. Create a separate list.

Since ancient times, the generals of Zhuguo's military system have rarely been nepotistic.

For example, the several pillar states in the previous dynasty were all the right-hand men who rose up in the Northern Wei Dynasty with the empress and co-founded the Western Wei Dynasty. Among them were the empress's first husband, her second wife, her brother-in-law, etc.Especially Shangzhu Guoyuwentai, who commanded the Sixth Army, because his third brother entered the palace and became the male concubine of the empress. With this layer of uncles and relatives, he would not be hindered by personal affairs, and he did his duty faithfully for both public and private affairs. Not bad.

Even when the empress was in the Western Wei Dynasty, the old boy did not dare to show any intention of conspiring to usurp the family. However, as soon as he died, the Yuwen family became as active as a dancing carp.

Those Zhuguo people who defected to the Yuwen family all had the same reason: they surrendered to the iron-blooded methods of the Empress of the Western Wei Dynasty, not the Yuan family, and besides Yuan Mingjing, the Yuan family had no emperor or bloody overlord throughout the ages. The "eldest sister" Having abdicated, it would be better to vote for "second brother" Yu Wentai.

The opponents, led by the empress's first wife, really hoped to welcome back the abdicated empress from Huaxu.

Now in the fifth year of Tianhe's reign in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Duke of Wei opposite Yu Wenzhi is one of the generals of the Zhu Kingdom. The number of armies he commands has not yet been determined. The point is that since the Emperor of Zhou is in the camp opposite, he will definitely dispatch troops from Chang'an and the capital. The Imperial Guards were protecting them. At this moment, when Northern Qi was unsure of the enemy's situation, they really didn't dare to act rashly.

So the armies of King Lanling and King Ande advanced dozens of miles and stationed themselves near the three cities of Jixian, Yexian and Hongyang, facing Duyang and Bowangpo in front.

From this, we learned that the Northern Zhou Dynasty soldiers were currently stationed in Nanyang County in large numbers, and that the raid on Mulan City the night before yesterday was only a small group of soldiers from Bowangpo, not Yu Wenzhi's main force.

But their qualities are all the same vicious.

……

After marching to the vicinity of Jixian County, Yuan Wuyou revisited his old place, feeling quite emotional for a while.

Not long ago, it was here that Yuwen Huaibi broke her disguise and caused her to be kidnapped by the white captives. She suffered a lot of injustice in the Zhou camp.

Gao Yanzong, who was with her, invited Yuan Wuyou, a military doctor, to go with him on the pretext of going to the county town to buy medicine for A'du. King Lanling was very pleased to see his brother's responsible look and praised him as a prodigal son. Money can't be exchanged for money.

Lian Yuan Wuyou felt surprised and distressed when he saw how well-behaved and quiet he had been lately, with the gloomy unfounded worry in his brows.

The man in silver armor and red clothes, with a phoenix-winged hood on his head, has shoulder-length braided hair spilling out from a silver-white helmet, and a pair of dark-brown peach blossom eyes.When the two men were marching, he suddenly raised his long eyelashes and said in a rough and magnetic voice:

"Am I obvious?"

"...What? What is obvious and not obvious?"

The girl in red shirt sat on the little black horse with her shoulders straight, her hands wearing mountain armor wristbands holding the reins casually, her head tilted slightly, her face with high ponytail and sharp eyebrows and big eyes.

Gao Yanzong's tone was calm, "Aunt Zheng Guanqi asked me... who my sweetheart was, and she insisted, almost confirming the question."

"...So, who is your sweetheart?"

"It's... you and I have a tacit understanding, a person who violates ethics."

After saying this, Gao Yanzong, who had always had a calm expression, suddenly turned red at the end of his eyes and his voice became softer.

"I will not lose heart, let alone envy Fourth Brother. What is there to like about you... You are a young girl, if you don't have the identity of the leader of Huaxu Kingdom, it will be a problem for you to protect yourself in Qi State. Sooner or later you will He was subjugated by Lu Nu and other treacherous people, and acted as an accomplice to the tiger."

Yuan Wuyou couldn't help but retort, "Is this what I am?!"

"What's more, I just met you in prison this year... earlier than Fourth Brother. There are no touching stories between the two of us. It's not like we were engaged to Fourth Brother first, nor like Zhou Guozhu, who has been with you sincerely. Childhood sweethearts, with the kindness of saving lives and getting out of trouble... If you were in Yecheng that year, I might not have gone down this self-destructive path of getting fat and ugly, staying away from power and becoming a dandy..." After a pause, he sighed. He took a breath and said, "I'm just... too lonely and helpless. Who doesn't want someone to save him from the swamp. Instead of relying on others, it's better to be fearless."

Yuan Wuyou was a little moved by what he said, and his heart ached slightly, "Brother Ah Chong...you are not in the right mood, you are too sentimental."

Hearing this, the man curled his lips and snorted, "I actually hate you quite a bit. You took away the fourth brother who raised me and didn't allow me to join you. You must never...leave him."

His last words were gloomy, and the sadness was mixed with an elusive weirdness.

Yuan Wuyou felt inexplicably creepy.Did Gao Yanzong do all this just to join them?

***
As soon as Yuan Wuyou returned to the military camp, Gao Changgong mysteriously pulled her back to the central military tent and wanted to give her a gift.

When she entered the door, she saw a pile of golden armor spread on the bed.

Gao Changgong picked up a piece of armor as if offering a treasure and wanted to compare it with her.
"This is made according to your body shape. It is the same Yuanyang Mingguang Armor as mine. I used hundreds of kilograms of gold. From now on, we can wear the same armor and go into battle to kill the enemy."

As the man introduced, he fastened the breastplate on her skillfully and rigorously.He was a head taller than him, and his gentle and proud breath came from Yuan Wuyou's head:
"As soon as the enemy sees us in the same costume, he will know that we are a pair. Sooner or later, the enemy will turn on us. This pair of male and female gods of war will be frightened by the news."

Yuan Wuyou: "..." Well done. This gift is from Gao Changgong's personal style.

Gao Changgong thought it was a good thing that the female leader of the country lived in the military camp as his wife and had the same power as him to consult and manage military affairs.

At least she was with her, so she didn't have time to think about the whole Zheng family being slaughtered and having no relatives to turn to in Mulan City.

After the intense discussion of the battle situation during the day, Gao Changgong thought that the two of them could get along normally, and just pretended that the incident of almost losing their virginity last night had not happened, as it should be.As a result, at night, she walked into his tent again and said that she had found birth control pills. Didn't he agree that she would let him accompany her when she had nothing to do?

Suddenly his wife hugged him, and her sinful little hands dug into his clothes. Gao Changgong just wanted to rush away.

"Hell...can you give me some face? I haven't had time to learn boudoir books yet. I, a grown man, must be on top!"

He didn’t want to accompany me in this way!
"I'm afraid you'll learn it. If you want to compete with me, just wait for a fight. I'm born to be oppressive." Looking at her big sincere eyes and a nasty smile at the corner of her mouth, Gao Changgong was in a dilemma.

Gao Changgong was reserved, but he didn't want to drive his wife away rudely, and he was also afraid that if she gave in, she would push her further. It was really painful.

"How about we wait until we get married... We have no reputation and no status, and we are disrespectful to my daughter's family. I don't want to be a man who always gives up, and I'm afraid that if you have a whim for me, it will be boring after you get it. If you have enough fun, After leaving Gao Changgong, I turned around and went back to Huaxu...How desperate should I be? I will become a resentful husband, and I will... hate you all my life until I die."

Even though he had spoken about his status many times, Yuan Wuyou had never cared about it, but now that he heard these inner words, he was still stunned.

After she remained silent, she sighed, "I respect your decision."

The man's phoenix eyes were bright and he said solemnly,

"I hope you will always be so proud in your heart. It is the words of a matchmaker, a life-and-death marriage. I may not be coquettish and dissolute and make you want to stop me, but even if I die, my body and mind will Still loyal to you and yours only.”

"This is more exciting than those..." She ignored the golden armor she wore, hugged the man's tight waist, and threw herself into his broad-shouldered and bulging arms. "Gao Changgong, you are really... a good husband and husband that you can't find in a thousand years."

"Also... don't forget that the Zhou army will be attacked tomorrow. Do you want me to have a sore waist and weak legs and be embarrassed in front of the enemy..."

"Tsk, are you very self-aware of me? What you said successfully convinced me. I was just teasing you for fun. But after listening to your words tonight, I am no longer willing to bully you."

Gao Changgong suddenly raised his lips and smiled, "Occasionally... you can bully. But not before a big battle."
