The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Chapter 368 It’s time to counterattack

Judge Qin said softly: "Your Highness?"

Gu Yuzhi raised his head and blinked at him: "I'm wondering if mulberry paper can be made."

Because they found out about Brother Chu's contact with the Beidi people, many of their previous plans were temporarily shelved.

Especially those who had previously served as officials to plant mulberry trees, all went to restore Jingxiang.

"Mulberry paper is fine, but what I want most is cotton."

If he had known that the war would start so early, he should not have spun all the cotton last year, but instead found a way to make more cotton clothes.

The soldiers must be very sad when the war begins in winter.

Xie Changshi saw that he was a small person, and his whole body exuded a kind of sadness that was incompatible with his age.

Thinking about his innocent daughter again, Xie Changshi couldn't help but sigh heavily.

Just as His Highness thought, it would be great if the war in Beidi resumed in a few years.

With His Highness's cotton-padded clothes, the soldiers will not be as timid as before when fighting in winter.

Compared with the Beidi people who eat beef and mutton all year round and live in the snow-capped mountains, the soldiers of the Sang Dynasty must have worse cold resistance than them.

This is why in the past, when there was a conflict with Beidi, the number of their soldiers must be at least twice that of the other party to have a chance of winning.

But no matter how melancholy it is, what is supposed to come will still come, and the most important thing right now is Jiangnan's affairs.

Gu Yuzhi put it down with a paperweight and looked up at Xie Changshi: "Xie Changshi, I have decided! I want to record these things that happened when I came to Huizhou."

It's not for the mother and concubine to worry, nor for the emperor's brother to feel like he's doing a poor job, but to record it.

As time goes by, his memory of Huizhou will definitely become blurry, but there is no need to worry about recording it now. If he forgets, he can just look at it.

After thinking about this, Gu Yuzhi no longer hesitated and quickly started writing.

He set out from Mobei, recorded all the places he passed on the way, what he ate, what difficulties he encountered, and what he discovered was wrong with Jiangnan when he arrived in the south of the Yangtze River.

Perhaps because of the hope in his heart, Gu Yuzhi couldn't stop writing. Even though his hands were sore, he didn't complain, just shook his hands and continued.

When there is something to do, time passes very quickly, and it seems that it will be dawn soon.

Xie Changshi glanced at Gu Yuzhi who was still busy writing. He quietly stood up and extinguished the candle beside him. He walked a few steps outside the door and listened carefully. There seemed to be no movement in the mansion.

Several hours have passed, and I don’t know what the situation is on Houhu Island.

Xie Changshi only felt conflicted inside.

He hoped that the Duke of Qi could safely bring the Lingnan garrison to the south of the Yangtze River to relieve the danger in the south of the Yangtze River. But if this was the case, he would have to hope that the King of Chu would take away not many navy personnel.

But if there are too many navy men left, then it will be a very dangerous decision for them to land on Houhu Island.

Xie Changshi closed his eyes slightly, and then heard the sound of His Highness putting down his pen. He quickly turned around and came back: "Your Highness."

Gu Yuzhi nodded, and after the papers were completely dry, he stacked the papers in order and handed them to Xie Changshi: "Just keep it like this for now. After I finish recording the Jiangnan incident, I will bind it into a book. "

He scratched his chin, his big eyes rolled around, and after a while he said: "When the time comes, write on the cover that Gu Yuzhi traveled to Huizhou when he was eight years old." Simple and easy to remember!

Xie Changshi smiled fondly and whispered: "Okay."

There is no one in the house, so naturally no one brings breakfast.

Gu Yuzhi touched his belly and couldn't help but yawned.

After a busy night, the dilemma finally came.

He thought to himself with his slightly groggy head that he seemed to have forgotten something.

But what it was, he couldn't remember for a while.

Gu Yuzhi returned to the room with a stunned look, and fell asleep without even having time to think about breakfast.

When I woke up again, it was already noon.

The scorching sun shines brightly on the floor tiles through the wide open windows, making it dizzying.

Gu Yuzhi stood up in a daze and shook his head before finally remembering what he had forgotten!

He exclaimed: "Oops, last night I told Guard Zhang and the others that they must call me before departure, and I will send them on the expedition!"

The result was great. He was so serious about writing about what he had experienced along the way that he actually forgot about it!
He slapped his forehead hard: "It's so miserable. I don't know if Guard Zhang and the others are waiting for me!"

Guard Zhang probably didn't tell the guards that he was going to send them on an expedition, right?
If he told her, but he didn't show up, would the guards think that he was timid?

Gu Yuzhi hurriedly put on his clothes and had just left the inner room when he saw Mr. Huo and Xie Changshi coming in, talking and laughing.

Judge Qin followed closely behind, holding a bowl of ointment in his hand. When he saw Gu Yuzhi, a trace of annoyance flashed across Judge Qin's face: "Your Highness, you are awake."

I wanted to rush in and change the dressing while His Highness was still awake, but in the end, I hurriedly rushed, but it was still a step too late.

Gu Yuzhi glanced at the medicine in Judge Qin's hand, then at the pants he had just put on, pursed his lips, turned around and put on his pants again.

The two white jade-like calves were covered with scars, but Gu Yuzhi seemed not to notice the pain, and looked at Mr. Huo with a smile: "Mr. Huo, did your trip to Houhu Island go well?"

It must go smoothly!

Otherwise, why would Mr. Huo's expression be so relaxed?
Mr. Huo first bowed and then said: "Your Highness is right. The trip to Houhu Island went smoothly indeed."

It should be said that the King of Chu was very conceited about himself and his control over Jiangnan, so he only left four thousand men to besiege Huizhou and transferred most of the navy and private soldiers away.

When Gu Yuzhi heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face, but he soon curled his lips and said, "In this case, wouldn't Duke Qi be in danger?"

Mr. Huo said solemnly: "Yes! According to a general on the island, the King of Chu has about 50,000 private soldiers. Excluding the 10,000 who stayed in Huizhou and Houhu Island, there are almost 140,000 naval front troops. Go and surround Duke Qi."

Perhaps because he was afraid that the previous massive siege of Qi Guards, which ended in failure, would happen again, so this time the King of Chu was particularly generous and simply took everyone away. He first destroyed the Lingnan garrison, and then invaded the capital with the Beidi people. .

But he never expected that before he left, Gu Yuzhi was already running towards this direction.

Before he met the Duke of Qi, Gu Yuzhi had already arrived in Huizhou. In just two days, he not only solved the siege of Huizhou, but also captured his private training ground.

Mr. Huo comforted him: "But Your Highness, there are many weapons on Houhu Island, and with the rebels willing to surrender, I think we can counterattack..."
