"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 218
"I don't know what the family needs me to do?"
Guo Yijian, the young general of the Guo family, set his sights on the family patriarch sitting there.
"What is the task His Royal Highness gave you?"
The white-haired patriarch did not answer Guo Yijian's question, but directly asked about military deployment.
Guo Yijian replied: "The Fourth Highness ordered me to deliberately expose the opening in the southeast direction, and then lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to ambush in the dark. Once the bandits break through from here, they will be wiped out in one fell swoop."
After hearing Guo Yijian's answer, the white-haired patriarch also nodded involuntarily. The fourth prince is quite capable.
If this plan is really implemented, then even if Chen Zi'ang's troops can break through with all their might, they will probably suffer heavy losses.
"Leave the soldiers and horses secretly arranged, and let Chen Ziang survive." The white-haired patriarch paused and ordered.
"ah?"
"Patriarch, this is letting the tiger go back to the mountain, and once His Royal Highness pursues it, I can't explain it."
Guo Yijian did not expect their patriarch to let him take a huge risk to let Chen Ziang go.
"You don't need to explain to His Royal Highness, you can follow Chen Ziang when the time comes."
After hearing this, Guo Yijian was prepared mentally, or he was still completely dazed by the thunder.
"Patriarch, this is a betrayal of the court."
"Are you reluctant to part with your general position?"
"No, we are about to annihilate Chen Ziang, why let him go, and why should I follow him?" Guo Yijian was full of doubts now.
"Chen Zi'ang is not only the champion of the three armies, but also resourceful. He can also be the number one among many rebel armies. If you follow him, you will not suffer."
"But he will be killed by us soon."
"Are you sure you can keep him?"
"How will you know if you don't try?"
The white-haired patriarch asked back: "Even if you killed one Chen Ziang, but now the world is in chaos, there are still thousands of Chen Ziang popping up, can you kill it?"
Seeing Guo Yijian who was stunned in place, the old white-haired patriarch couldn't help but sighed.
"Our Far Eastern Dynasty has been established for more than 400 years. Now, corruption is rampant inside and outside the court. The people of the world are struggling to survive. There are powerful enemies outside. The court is already in turmoil and cannot last long. Our Guo family has to think about ourselves."
"There are loyal ministers and good generals in the court, and there are millions of troops outside. How can it not last long?"
Guo Yijian was also taken aback, he didn't expect his patriarch to be so pessimistic.
"You are still too young. If the imperial court really had loyal ministers and good generals, how could the situation have deteriorated to this point?"
"The military and military families are all wealthy, but the imperial treasury is empty. The roots of the imperial court are rotten and hopeless."
After hearing the words of the old patriarch, Guo Yijian also felt a sense of depression in his heart. He originally wanted to make contributions and become famous, but after learning about these things, he suddenly felt lost and lost.
"Our Guo family has survived for thousands of years, do you know why?" The old patriarch asked with a smile when he saw the frowning Guo Yijian.
"Please let the patriarch express it."
"That's because we never bet on one place."
The old patriarch continued: "The dynasty is hopeless, and our Guo family can't be buried with them, so you smart and combative young children have been sent to various rebel armies one after another. In the future, no matter which rebel army takes over the world, In the court, our Guo family will still have a place."
After hearing what the old patriarch said, Guo Yijian also understood that he was just a pawn of the family.
"From now on, the Guo family will not help you any more. When we meet on the battlefield in the future, it will be a life-and-death struggle, and the Guo family's children will not show mercy to you."
"I just hope that in the future, if the rebel army takes over the world, you can continue the glory of the Guo family."
When the white-haired old patriarch said this, he stood up and bowed deeply to Guo Yijian, which made Guo Yijian's mood extremely complicated.
"If you hate me, if you kill me at that time, I will give you the position of patriarch. Of course, the premise is that you can grow strong enough and don't let me down."
After the old patriarch finished speaking, he patted him on the shoulder and sighed.After that, he immediately turned around and left the military tent.
Guo Yijian didn't recover from the complicated thoughts until the old patriarch left for a long time, he was very entangled.
He is now a member of the imperial court, and it is difficult for him to accept it in a short time if he is asked to betray the imperial court and join the bandit army that is about to be destroyed.
But when he thought about the inheritance of the family, and thought that his parents were still in the family, he had no choice.
Once I don't listen to the family's words, with the powerful ability of the family, maybe I won't survive tonight.
Thinking of this, Guo Yijian couldn't help but punched the table fiercely, venting his dissatisfaction fiercely.
"Call together all the officers above a hundred generals, I have something to order."
After Guo Yijian experienced inner struggle and entanglement, he finally chose to obey the arrangement and join Chen Ziang's command.
Because he knew very well that without the support of his family, he would not have been able to become this lieutenant general. All his glory before had the aura of his family, which was insignificant.
He is just a pawn of the family now, and he is unwilling to be a pawn by himself, so he has to rely on his own strength, hoping to get rid of the shackles of the family one day.
Officers with more than a hundred generals in the army soon arrived in Guo Yijian's tent, including both local troops and Imperial Guards.
For Guo Yijian, a son of a family who became a general with the support of his family, although the officers respected him on the surface, they actually looked down on him from the bottom of their hearts.
But now they are under the order of the fourth prince and accept the restraint of the general Guo Yijian. Guo Yijian asked them to come, and they had to follow.
However, when they arrived at the military tent, they found that Guo Yijian, the commander responsible for the southeast defense, was not in the military tent.
"What happened, where is General Guo?"
"What are we doing here?"
These officers were a little impatient seeing Guo Yijian's delay in showing up.
Just as they were arguing, there were dense footsteps outside, and a group of soldiers with sharp knives surrounded the general tent.
"kill!"
Following Guo Yijian's order, these soldiers with sharp knives rushed towards the military tent from all directions.
Countless stabbing guns with a cold glow suddenly appeared, and then pierced into the bodies of the officers, screaming one after another.
"what happened?!"
Facing the sudden killing, some officers shouted in horror while drawing their swords.
But what answered him was a sharp sword. Guo Yijian had already issued a death order, that is, none of the officers in these military tents should be spared. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
