Don't ask where people go

Chapter 26 Gilt
As soon as Fang Zilan's military order came out, the army had no time to rest and rushed to the Gilded City for several days.The Gilded City is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the black stone city wall several feet high is extremely hard, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

"Is this the legendary capital of the golden men?" Fang Zilan looked at the towering black city wall not far away, and felt amazed. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have found it hard to imagine such a city in the north.

"Yes, this is the Gilded City." The person who answered her was Shangguan Jing, who rode his horse to Fang Zilan's side and sighed softly, "It is also the nightmare of several generations of northern generals."

"Nightmare?" Li Qiyou couldn't help asking, Zhuge Yu smiled faintly, "It's not only the nightmare of the guard in the north, but also the nightmare of the golden man. Does the prince know about the chaos between the two golds?"

Fang Zilan was stunned when she heard Zhuge Yu's words. Speaking of which, she just came to this world, when Wu Qing gave her the first mission, she also said that King Xiang was trying to put down the chaos between the two golds and asked her to help.But for a long time, no matter whether it was Li Shengxuan or her, they were fighting against Chuckel's army, so how could they get two gold?

Li Qiyou thought for a while before opening his mouth: "The chaos of the two golds refers to the endless fight between the nephews of Chakel and Huyan Khan, because the two gold men are divided into two factions for the two golds."

"The prince is right, but Huyan Khan's nephew died not long ago under His Majesty's command, and his subordinates fled to the desert." Shangguan Min added, "So now only Chakel is left."

"But why do these two people fight? Could it be the cause of Huyan Khan's death?" Li Qiyou was puzzled, Zhuge Yu shook his head and said: "The cause of Huyan Khan's death is just a fuse. Lord of the Gilded City."

A few people said something to each other, which solved Fang Zilan's doubts. In this way, the Gilded City is the symbol of the Lord of the Golden Man.If she captures the Gilded City and kills Chakel, even if the great trouble in the northern border is completely solved, Li Shengxuan will not be able to slack off at that time, and must fulfill his promise of being a minister.

"Miss Fang, the Gilded City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, do you have a countermeasure?" Shangguan Jing's voice interrupted Fang Zilan's thoughts, and she couldn't help but come back to her senses, "This general Shangguan should ask our military adviser, after all He is unparalleled in strategy and wisdom, do you think I am right, Mr. Zhuge?"

Zhuge Yu knew that she still hated the siege of Wind River Valley, so she shook her head and said, "Miss Fang is ridiculous, now Miss Fang is the coach, and everything depends on Miss Fang."

"Mr. Zhuge doesn't need to be like this. If you really have a clever plan, you can just say it. If you don't have me, you can only attack." Fang Zilan said, looking at Li Qiyou and Shangguan Jing on the other side, "The same is true for the prince and General Shangguan. If you have something to say Straight up."

Seeing that none of the people spoke, Shangguan Jing thought for a while and couldn't help but said: "Although a strong attack is a way, it's still a bit worse."

"I read a story in a book before." Fang Zilan thought about it, and said slowly: "It's about a city that couldn't be captured for a long time, and the leader who led the army pretended to give up and left, leaving behind a huge wooden horse. , the people in the city thought they were victorious, so they went out of the city and brought back the wooden horse as trophies, but they did not expect that there were enemy soldiers hidden in the wooden horse. Their companions, the city is broken."

She used to read the story of the Trojan horse for entertainment. Who would have thought that the current situation is somewhat similar to the story, but she doesn't know the golden man, and she doesn't know whether this method is feasible. If you can say it, let a few of them work together as a staff.

"Miss Fang's method sounds novel." Li Qiyou was amazed, but Zhuge Yu frowned slightly and disapproved, "The Jin people are barbaric and uncivilized, if we leave a wooden horse, there is no guarantee that they will not dismantle the wooden horse Open, when the soldiers inside are fully exposed, our intentions will be obvious."

Shangguan Jing also nodded in agreement, "Mr. Zhuge's words are reasonable, not to mention that Chakel is very suspicious. If we retreat suddenly, he will definitely be suspicious of deceit."

"Then according to the two of you, we can only attack by force?" Fang Zilan leaned on the horse and looked at the few people beside her. They were silent for a while, which made her chuckle, "It's really hard to make up your mind. At that time, you didn’t dare to say a word? Forget it, I’ll make the decision, and I’ll bear the consequences alone. You just do your own thing well. General Shangguan, take Shangguan Min to see the camp and set up the tents. Are you ready? Your lord, as a supervisor, go and check whether the grain and grass in Pingshan City have been delivered; as for Mr. Zhuge, you and I will check around this gilt city together."

Several people took orders and went away, and in a blink of an eye, only Zhuge Yu was left beside Fang Zilan, "Miss Fang, do you have something to tell me?" Fang Zilan smiled slightly, with a flash of approval in his eyes, "You really can't hide anything from Mr. Zhuge."

"It's strange that Ms. Fang didn't bring Guan Min along to investigate this kind of matter. In addition, Ms. Fang mentioned my plan just now. It must have something to do with the matter of Wind River Valley, right?" Zhuge Yu was still complacent, Fang Zilan Still laughing, "I don't want to be an enemy of a smart man like Mr. Zhuge."

"Why does Miss Fang think you and I are enemies?" Zhuge Yu asked suddenly, which made Fang Zilan a little surprised, "Isn't it?"

"I'm not your enemy." Zhuge Yu replied without hesitation, but Fang Zilan laughed out loud, "Then you want my life?"

"Miss Fang has killed so many people, is everyone your enemy?" Zhuge Yu asked without answering, "Let's not talk about the distance, let's just talk about how many golden lives Miss Fang has in her hands during these days in the northern border , I’m afraid I can’t count them myself. But Miss Fang, think about it carefully, are these people your enemies?”

Fang Zilan was taken aback by Zhuge Yu's question, shook his head and said, "Young Master Zhuge's words are strange. The Jin people are the enemies of Dajing, so naturally they are the enemies of Fang Zilan."

"Miss Fang is right, the Jin people are the enemies of Dajing." Zhuge Yu's lips curled slightly, "Miss Fang, you are the same. You are not my enemy, but you may not be the enemy of the Empress Dowager, King Yucheng, or even Your Majesty. If Miss Fang, you and Li Shi are harmful, you will become my enemy, Zhuge Yu, and I will want your life."

Fang Zilan couldn't help laughing and said: "Young Master Zhuge, this is sophistry."

"But Miss Fang already understands what I mean, doesn't she?" Zhuge Yu smiled even wider, and Fang Zilan nodded lightly, "To put it bluntly, none of you believe me."

"Ms. Fang's surname is Fang. Just based on this fact, I can't believe it." Zhuge Yu looked at the person in front of him leisurely, but saw that her expression was a little cold, "It's not that everyone with the surname Fang in the world is Fang's family. I have nothing to do with the wealth and honor of the prime minister's mansion. The one in front of you is only Fang Zilan who wants to win a place with his own strength."

"Young and frivolous people always think that everything in the world can't be done. I think Miss Fang is different." Zhuge Yu laughed dumbly, "Looking at it now, it's inevitable."

"It's not just me, isn't Master Zhuge the same?" Fang Zilan's expression became colder, "I think I have no strategy, but I don't know that people's hearts are far more dangerous than the battlefield. I always think that leaving a way out can be invincible."

Zhuge Yu was stunned when he heard this sentence, he always thought he could see everything, but he sometimes deceived himself and others.He couldn't admit it to anyone, but it was clear that he couldn't deny this sentence.

"Young Master Zhuge, are you really not afraid that I'll kill you?" Fang Zilan's tone was cold, and Zhuge Yu could feel her killing intent suppressing him, but he couldn't feel a trace of murderous intent, "Even if I know that the human heart is far more dangerous than the battlefield, I still have to give it a try." There are always things in this world that are more important than life, if I don’t give it a try, I can’t be reconciled.”

"You can say that you are not reconciled, isn't Mr. Zhuge the same as me?" Fang Zilan restrained his killing intent, and Zhuge Yu felt that his whole body was much more relaxed.

"Since we all have things we want to do, it's best to live in peace." Fang Zilan said and turned to leave, "I only hope that one day, I can be friends with Mr. Zhuge." Her voice followed the back It was imprinted on Zhuge Yu's heart like this, he sighed lightly, and finally gave up.

Grandpa was right. Although he is exquisite and transparent, he still lacks means. If he wants to become the real Zhuge Patriarch, he still has a long way to go.

While Fang Zilan was looking around the Gilded City, he was thinking about what Zhuge Yu said just now.It seems that it is not only the Empress Dowager and King Yucheng who regard her as a thorn in the side, but also Li Shengxuan.

She didn't believe that Zhuge Yu would listen to the Empress Dowager's words and put her to death for Li Qiyou. This kind of behavior was like their Lord of the World, Li Shengxuan, who couldn't be trusted and couldn't stay.

If it was her, maybe she would do the same. Thinking about it this way, there seems to be nothing to complain about. Everyone is doing it for themselves, and they don't care about the lives of others at all.It's just that if Li Shengxuan doesn't believe her, it may not be that simple for her to get what she wants.

Although she was distracted, Fang Zilan still carefully walked around the gilt city, and felt that the gilt city was built really well, and the terrain was well-chosen and the city walls were strong.

She didn't find any breakthrough after this trip, and she couldn't help but feel a little heavy. She didn't have the leisure time to admire the hard work and wisdom of the builders at the beginning. After all, she only cares about one thing now, and that is how to break the city.

After Fang Zilan returned to the barracks, Shangguan Jing and Li Qiyou gave her two good news.Since they have already attacked the Gilded City, the morale of the whole army is like a rainbow.Moreover, the Huangfu's family in Pingshan City also sent trebuchets for attacking the city, as well as sufficient food and grass allocated by the court, all of which were on the way at this time.

This relieved her heavy heart a little, and then she sent an order to the army to take a good rest and start attacking the city as soon as the catapults and food and grass arrived.
