He whispered a few words to the soldiers next to him, then returned to the topic and continued to nag: "Didn't you say that we should wait for the track to be finished at least? If the Ziliujin-dedicated rail line is really opened, our chance at winning will be higher. If you make a move right now, in case there will be any problems with the cooperation between the two sides, then… It will be too risky!"

"Seeking wealth in danger," Gu Yun said without a shift in expression, "Why should I, a man in his prime condition, be as cautious as the old man on the opposite side?"

Hearing that he was talking nonsense again, Shen Yi said angrily, "Gu Zi Xi!"

Gu Yun sighed and took a look in the direction of the north. At this time, his eyesight was no longer able to penetrate the mountains and rivers.

"Ji Ping," Gu Yun said in a low voice, "If things in the capital were going smoothly, the enemy would have already left by themselves even if we did not fight. If you think this campaign is a big risk, then do you want them to continue to drag on and wait until an even bigger risk arises in the court?"

Shen Yi was speechless and unable to answer. He was the general in charge of one side. He only needed to arrange troops, not to think about the layout of the four sides, and not to worry about whether there would be wars fifty years from now.

"In any case, this time, we must achieve something before the pro-peace faction has a chance to open its mouth. Once we give those traitors the chance, we don't know how long they will drag it out. The drum of vigor will be exhausted again and again. Even if we have a rest, it can not last more than three or five years. Otherwise, the nobles in the capital will gradually forget the pain after the wound heals. When our generation dies, later generations will think that the southern half of the country was governed by both sides from the start."

Gu Yun glanced at Shen Yi and said, "It's worth taking a risk. At that point, I'll leave the Black Tiger Emblem with you, in case I... You can quickly gather up the rest of the troops, no need to panic. You can immediately transfer the Black Iron camp for temporary support. The Westerners are mostly capable on water, but not fearsome on land, we have room for maneuver. "

Shen Yi's brows wrinkled.

At this time, the soldiers in charge of the kitchen brought the cooked noodles. The person cooking was very attentive to this dish especially since it was made for the Marshal: the longevity noodles strands were even, the egg was done just right, broth and meat were both visible, with a few strands of bamboo shoots soaked in the broth floating inside.
