Destined (2023) Episode 26

Jul 6, 2023

Zhou Ye handed over the military power of Youzhou to Gu Jiusi, and the soldiers thought that Gu Jiusi was an outsider, so Zhou Ye told Gu Jiusi to donate his wealth and Liu Yuru went around to raise military rations. Everyone admired, and no one objected. Zhou Ye took the lead, thanked Gu Jiusi, thanked him and the Gu family for everything they had done for Youzhou, and handed the sword to Gu Jiusi in front of everyone. From then on, he began to lead the military power in Youzhou. After Zhou Ye escorted Fan Yu away, Gu Jiusi and Ye Shian began to arrange the city defense and other matters, but several soldiers said that the household registration was in charge of Wang Bucao and Yang Sicang from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but neither of them came this morning. After listening, Gu Jiusi and Ye Shian went to the Pantheon, and before they entered, they heard bursts of crying from inside.

This group of people who have read the scriptures of sages only thought of evading responsibility by committing suicide at critical moments. Not only that, they thought that the Ye family was a celebrity and official family, and they should commit suicide and apologize. Gu Jiusi was a little worried that Ye Shian would be swayed by their words, but he didn't expect that Ye Shian was no longer the same Ye Shian as before, and now he really wanted to do things for the common people. Ye Shi'an scolded this group of literati who were stubborn and stuck to the rules. They were woken up by the scolding, and went back to work. Liang Wang's soldiers approached the city, and a 100,000 army came menacingly. Gu Jiusi and Ye Shi'an led the crowd to resist. Liu Yuru was also not idle in the city, and ordered someone to fetch Ye Yun, and at the same time, let people fetch those girls who had nowhere to live.

Gu Jiusi intentionally provoked King Liang, acting exaggeratedly. King Liang was suspicious by nature, and they rushed from Wangdu thousands of miles to Youzhou, and the soldiers were already exhausted. Therefore, King Liang did not attack rashly, and directly camped outside the city. Only wait for full confidence before attacking Wangdu. Taking advantage of tonight, Gu Jiusi ordered people to strengthen the city defenses and beat the war drums intermittently, but did not send troops, just to disturb the mind of King Liang's army. King Liang couldn't figure out how many soldiers and horses there were in the capital, let alone Gu Jiusi's marching style, so he ordered all the soldiers to rest for one night and attack the city tomorrow. Unexpectedly, before dawn, Gu Jiusi and Shen Ming led troops to kill Liang Wang by surprise. Liang Wang was almost captured, and he also learned that the leader of the army was Gu Jiusi, the concubine's nephew.

The next day, King Liang sent someone to inform Gu Jiusi, inviting him to go out of the city for a talk. Gu Jiusi understood that King Liang already knew his identity. Shen Ming and Gu Jiusi went out of the city together to prevent accidents. The crown prince of Dongdu also died. General Zhou suggested that the whole army should attack Dongdu, quickly wipe out the remnants of the rebels, save the great glory from falling, and stabilize the hearts of the world. But in this way, it is impossible to withdraw troops and look back in time. General Zhou wanted to try his best to persuade Fan Xuan, but at this time Zhou Ye came with Fan Yu. King Liang tried to lure Gu Jiusi to no avail, but was reprimanded by Gu Jiusi instead. He was so angry that he wanted to do something, but his subordinates reminded him that the two countries were at war and that they should not be beheaded, so King Liang let Gu Jiusi and Shen Ming go. Old man Mo was grateful for the relief money Zhao Sanye gave him, and took advantage of the chaos to release him from prison.

But Mr. Zhao felt that there was nothing wrong with what he did, and he had no repentance. Since Zhou Gaolang issued the military order, Zhou Ye has been kneeling outside his big tent for three hours. Zhou Gaolang was unmoved by his brother's income. He had no choice but to go out and persuade Zhou Ye to get up first, not to make Zhou Gaolang angry, but Zhou Ye loudly asked Zhou Gaolang if he planned to give up Wangdu.
