Father, I am back to fight!

Chapter 656

"After all, that's the city where the Gu family has always lived. If it became the Gu family's fiefdom, I believe the Gu family would be able to quickly recover their strength. Alas! What a pity!"

Qin Yu said in a deep voice, with a look of regret on his face.

After hearing this, Gu Jujia's heart was so excited that it rose to his throat. That was the title of earl!

I must fight for it. Once the Gu family gets it, they can rise quickly. Moreover, from a certain perspective, Shangguan Xiong doesn’t even have a title!

News also came back from the imperial capital that Shangguan Xiong was dismissed from his post and investigated. Although with Shangguan Xiong's power, this situation was only temporary.

However, once he obtains the title, he will be qualified to be taken seriously by Shangguan Xiong!

"Your Highness, our Gu family desperately needs this earldom!"

Gu Jujia said hurriedly.

"Alas! You should also know that it is very rare to be granted this title. This prince is only giving you this opportunity because of our good relationship with you!"

"However, your fifty thousand men are unable to carry out this surprise attack. What do you want me to do? I will just give you the title. How could other noble families let you go so easily?"

Qin Yu said with a sigh.

Gu Jujia was struggling internally at this moment. He wanted the entire southern territory, but it was extremely difficult!

Judging from Qin Yu's attitude, it is impossible for him to send troops in a short period of time. It is very likely that he will not send troops at all. It is extremely difficult to restrain Qin Yu with troops and force Qin Yu to cede the southern border to him!

But the title of earl was within his reach. He knew better than anyone how desperate those Japanese slaves were in fighting. A surprise attack would definitely defeat the Huns.

"Your Highness! You think so highly of our Gu family. How could we fail at this critical moment? This surprise attack will be led by our Gu family!"

Gu Jujia said in a deep voice.

"No, you must not force yourself. I know that the 50,000 people were just formed and are definitely a motley crowd. If you go, you will be committing suicide!"

Qin Yu said in a deep voice.

"The Xiongnu army is approaching our borders, and they are so arrogant. As a native of Daliang, how can I tolerate the Xiongnu's brutality? I must teach them a lesson!"

"Your Highness, please stop trying to persuade me. I must fight this battle!"

Gu Jujia said righteously.

"Alright! Since you are so confident, I won't say much. If you win this battle, I will immediately grant you the title of Earl!"

Qin Yu said.

Gu Jujia immediately said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will win this battle!"

Then, both of them looked at Shangguan Wan'er in unison. Shangguan Wan'er looked at Gu Jujia with disgust in her eyes.

What's wrong with this loser? He was helping me to target Qin Yu just now, so why is he suddenly helping Qin Yu to fight the Huns?

If you send out 50,000 troops, Qin Yu can leave 50,000 men in Nanli City. You only have 30,000 to 40,000 men in your hands. How can you control Qin Yu?

"Master Gu, I didn't expect you to have 50,000 soldiers and horses at your disposal. This is truly shocking!"

Shangguan Wan'er said this with a smile, but she almost said it through gritted teeth.

When Gu Jujia heard Shangguan Wan'er say this, he thought she was shocked by the fact that there were another 50,000 people. Shangguan Wan'er looked at him with admiration.

"Sister Wan'er! My 50,000-man army was funded by my Gu family. However, the story that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince told me about the 80-year-old man carrying a coffin to the battlefield really touched me!"

"So, even the weapons and armor were provided by my Gu family. Therefore, I can completely control these 50,000 people. The surprise attack will definitely be a success, and I will be an earl in no time!"

Gu Jujia said proudly.

Some time ago, Qin Yu bestowed on him the title of baron, but that was not hereditary and was the worst of all titles. The title of earl, on the other hand, was ranked third and was very noble.
