"In addition, I put two bottles of golden wound medicine for you." Li Mumu said, "This is the bottle. If you need it, remember to take it."
Gu Shangqing carefully memorized the appearance of the bottle and nodded.
Li Mumu put the luggage away for him and put it on the table, saying, "I know I shouldn't ask about military affairs. But after listening to what you said today, I always feel that it is not that simple."
"Is this trip very dangerous?" Li Mumu asked.
Seeing Gu Shangqing smiling, he looked like he was going to say something to comfort him.
Li Mumu said, "If you can't tell me, then don't tell me, but don't lie to me. Don't tell me that war is not dangerous, you know what I mean."
"Sure enough, I can't hide it from my wife." Gu Shangqing said, "I didn't say it before, just because I didn't want my parents and brothers and sisters-in-law to worry, but there is nothing to hide."
"According to the intelligence we received this time, something happened in the Turkic royal court. In the past half month, the royal court has been abnormally quiet. It seems that the old Khan has some problems with his health. His four sons are fighting fiercely, and the eldest and second sons can't sit still." Gu Shangqing said, "Therefore, we want to take advantage of their chaos and give them a fatal blow. At least it will make them breathless for a few years."
Li Mumu carefully recalled the content in the original book.
The original book did not mention what happened on the Turkic side in this battle.
But the original book mentioned that the old Khan fell down a few years later, lingering on the sickbed, and the second prince took charge of the affairs.
That at least shows that the old Khan is fine now.
Of course, we cannot rule out that the old Khan's health had already had problems, but he recovered a little and persisted for a few years before he was completely unable to function.
Li Mumu was not sure what was going on.
"Are you sure?" Li Mumu asked.
"Not sure." Gu Shangqing shook her head, "We also suspect that this is a misunderstanding by the Turks."
Li Mumu nodded.
At least Gu Shangqing and the others thought of this possibility, and she didn't need to remind them.
"We also sent spies over to investigate, but they didn't come back." Gu Shangqing's face was heavy, "Obviously they were caught and something went wrong. And the Wang Court is watching so closely, so something went wrong."
"But we can't send anyone over there anymore. The other side is already alert. If we send more people, they will just die in vain, and there will be no other benefit." Gu Shangqing said.
"General Li has discussed this with General Shang." Gu Shangqing said, "We will have a battle with the Turks in the near future. The ice and snow are melting, the weather is getting warmer, and life is getting better for the Turks. They have always been eyeing the Central Plains, and even if they can't take it, they will harass it frequently. Even if we don't take the initiative this time, they will still find a chance to provoke us."
"In this case, we might as well take the initiative." Gu Shangqing said, "Seize the initiative and make them unable to take care of other things for a while."
"Besides, it can also serve as a test." Gu Shangqing said, "If the old Khan is really in trouble, and we are attacking them from both inside and outside, it would be a good thing if we can really beat them so hard that they can't cope."
"The worst result is that this is a trap." Gu Shangqing said in a deep voice.
Li Mumu's heart sank. The original work is mainly a romantic story, so it didn't write how difficult Gu Shangqing's battle was, only that he almost couldn't come back.
According to the severity of the situation, Li Mumu felt that it was very likely to be a trap.
"Since you already have such doubts, then be careful." Li Mumu said, "I know you must be experienced in marching and fighting, and you are familiar with military books, so you don't need me to say anything." () ()
"But my husband, at the critical moment, I hope you can remember not to pursue the desperate enemy, and to besiege the army. Don't be overwhelmed by the victory." Li Mumu took a deep breath, "Give the enemy a little hope, he wants to live, and will be cautious. If there is no hope at all, knowing that he will die, I am afraid that he will perish together."
Gu Shangqing nodded seriously, not turning a deaf ear to Li Mumu's words, "I remember."
Li Mumu smiled and said, "My husband is familiar with the art of war, and he fought on the battlefield. I have never been to the battlefield, and I have never even seen a war. I just read a few more books and told you these things. I hope my husband will not dislike me for being smart."
"Madam is not a smart person." Gu Shangqing looked at Li Mumu with admiration, "How many people know that you should not pursue a desperate enemy, and you should make a gap when you are besieging a general?"
Li Mumu didn't know all these things in her previous life.
In her previous life, she knew that you should not pursue a desperate enemy, and she learned the next sentence, "You should make a gap when you are besieging a general," from reading books here.
In this era, there are not as many entertainment activities as in modern times.
When you have nothing to do at home, you can only read books.
Li Mumu didn't buy any other books, so she picked up Master Guan's books to read.
Master Guan likes people who love to read. As long as Li Mumu cherishes books, she can borrow any book from Master Guan.
Li Mumu felt a little embarrassed by Gu Shangqing's look, and said, "Are you leaving early tomorrow morning?"
"We will set off at 11:00 am, and I will go to the military camp at 2:30 pm." Gu Shangqing said.
Li Mumu calculated that there was not much time left, "Then you should rest quickly. We will be on the road tomorrow morning when we break camp early."
Gu Shangqing nodded.
However, he would set off tomorrow, so how could he sleep at this moment?
But fearing that Li Mumu would worry, Gu Shangqing went to lie on the bed obediently.
But after lying for a while, Li Mumu did not come over.
The two had never crossed the line until now, but Gu Shangqing had long been accustomed to having Li Mumu by her side.
"Madam, do you have anything else to do?"
Li Mumu shook her head, "I just... can't sleep."
"Although you were not at home in the past, I know you are safe in the army." Li Mumu said, "But this time you are going to the battlefield, the mountains are high and the roads are long, the liver and marrow are flowing wild, and..." And knowing that he would be in danger, how could she sleep?
If at the beginning, when Gu Shangqing just came back, he was still a stranger to Li Mumu, a character in the book.
It's just that the paper man has a little three-dimensional sense.
Li Mumu can still keep herself out of it, have no feelings for Gu Shangqing, and be calm and unaffected.
But gradually, Li Mumu can no longer do this.
She really likes Gu Shangqing.
Even though she knew that Gu Shangqing was the hero of the original novel and she was just a female supporting role,
she still couldn't help but like her.
Perhaps it was because of Gu Shangqing's respect and appreciation for her during their interactions, he never looked down on her and treated her as an equal.
Even in modern times, many men who have been educated on equality cannot do this.
Or perhaps it was because Gu Shangqing rejected Su Zhier again and again, and even resolutely expressed his disgust for Su Zhier, and even wanted to send Su Guangcheng to prison, that Li Mumu no longer thought that Gu Shangqing would have the possibility of being with the original heroine in the book.
