But said that Ji Rin, after he led his troops to recapture Changping Town, he ordered someone to report to the court, and at the same time sent a message to Yang Xuan, the general of Datong.

Yang Xuan received the letter and went to Changping Town with only dozens of guards. The two met in the army, chatted a few words, and Zhang Lang, Zhu Yuan and others, who were left behind, also took advantage of the situation to chase after them.

Yang Xuan is already in the age of establishment, he is the descendant of Ji Rin, and in his early years, he followed him deep into the hinterland of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Now that the old friends are happy to see each other, when they are feasting, mentioning the old things that almost captured the royal city of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Yang Xuan couldn't help but draw his sword and get up, generous and sad, everyone present such as Zhu Yuan and Zhang Lang, originally immersed in the joy of meritorious service, Listening to Yang Xuan talk about the border army over the years, it was also a sour nose, almost crying. When they woke up and saw the post-war statistics, they lost more than 400 of their 40,000 horses, and more than 800 wounded soldiers.

Ji Rin waited for two or three days, and saw that the impetuous aura on Zhang Lang's body was gone, so he ordered the division of troops.

Zhang Lang and Zhu Yuan originally wanted to take the two with him, leaving Yu Jing as a general, and leaving 10,000 soldiers and horses to help Ji Shan and Zhao Rui reorganize and rest, but he didn't want Zhang Lang to ask for himself to stay. He was born in the Zhang family and is a scholar family, his family is rich, and his life will naturally pass leisurely, when he was a teenager, in order to show righteousness and show heroism, he did a lot of annoying things to attract cats and dogs, and he also called him a true Langjun! But now when he sees the soldiers of Jinju, he knows what kind of shallow person he was before, and he has lived in vain for more than 20 years. Now that the enemy on Shuoxue Pass has repelled, there is a relatively peaceful time, and he is ready to follow Shuoxue Pass to train his soldiers, and even grind Ji Rin to change his military status.

Ji Rin didn't promise him, only said that he would wait for the war to subside this time.

Unlike Zhang Lang, who obviously wanted to be a pioneer, Zhu Yuan was thinking about meritorious service! What could be easier to get the opportunity to make meritorious service than following Ji Rin's side? It was because he decided to follow Ji Rin's arrangement to follow the main general's side.

As for Wei Yun, he is no more than Zhang Lang wants to be in one place, and no more than Zhu Yuan wants to be promoted! On the night of the camp, he stood beside Ji Rin and watched this silent man give orders without hesitation, even a person like him who is careless about everything can't stand the blood boiling, and he can't wait to be his pawn! Although he didn't know why the important ministers of the court and the central government transferred them to follow Ji Zhou Mu to quell the rebellion, the ministers of the court obviously ignored Ji Zhou Mu's own ability, such a person should naturally be the object of follower by others. As soon as Zhu Yuan left, he knelt down towards Ji Rin with his robe and called him "lord".

"At the beginning, the Northern Wei Dynasty was divided into four routes to go south, and the prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty had been uprooted all the way, and a certain person in Yongning City took people to go in person, and there was a road to Dingbei Town, I don't know what to do?" Ji Rin's eyes were dark, and he saw Wei Yun bowing down and holding up the other party, and then said in a deep voice.

"The last general commands!" Wei Yun didn't expect the other party to value himself like this, Rao is indifference on his face, a pair of eyes were clear, and he was unspeakable.

Ji Rin smiled slightly when he saw this, he originally planned to hand over Wei Yun as the main general, and now the other party showed a little praise on his face, but he knew that Wei Yun was a new ding who had only been on the killing field once, and he ordered Wang Xiu to be an auxiliary general, and ordered the two to lead three thousand troops and horses day and night to arrive in Dingbei Town before November 5, and the two promised.

Before leaving, Ji Rin also left a falcon for the two, and only instructed that if there was something undecided, the flying eagle could pass the book to Pingling Thorn History, and told the two that if there was something emphasized in the Pingling imperial letter and there was a conflict with what he said, they needed to take Pingling Yu's entrustment as an order, and the two agreed.

Only then did Ji Rin lead the army straight to Yongning City.

Unlike the rest of the state capitals of Great Qin, Yongning City is close to the frontier, only sixty miles away from the Moon River, five hundred miles to the west is the boundary of Western Chu, and across the Moon River to the north is Jinzhou of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Yongning City is square as a whole, there are three city gates in the southeast, northwest and southeast, the city gate is more than six zhang high, the inner city and the outer city are separated by eight zhang, the moon river is surrounded by it, the water depth can reach three zhang, there are a total of 20 pontoon bridges on it, the bearing can be used for thousands of catties of siege equipment to enter and exit, twelve of them are put down on weekdays, and the remaining eight are only put down in wartime to attack the sergeant to board the outer city wall to kill the enemy.

At the beginning of the construction of Yongning City, it was for the north to reject the Huns, it was the same as the layout of the city and Yecheng, all of them were divided into a chessboard shape with the camp in the army as the model, six avenues traversed the east and west, north and south, and Yongning City was equipped with a bell and drum tower in the center, the building was six feet high and three feet, and the four corners of the outer city wall were fired, then the drummer beat the drum to show the enemy attack, the drum sound was deafening, and it could be transmitted for several miles.

Since the sound of the drums on September 25 to more than 30 days today, Qi Zheng did not dare to close his eyes one day, the only thing he could do was to lead people from the pontoon bridge to the city wall to fight with the soldiers.

Yongning City from the beginning of the Great Qin Dynasty to today, there are 250,000 households, the people of Jinzhou are fierce, that is, the girl changes the hairpin skirt can also fight on the battlefield, the entire Jinzhou garrison is about 200,000 or so, the Yongning City defenders occupy a quarter of it, carefully distinguish, including 20,000 garrisons, 20,000 border guards, 7,000 Ji family troops, 3,000 militia, although the number of Ji family troops is the least, but the Yongning City armies are respected by Ji family army.

However, this time the Northern Wei Dynasty was looking for the time it was too coincidental, the deceased Duke Wen Xianggong and his wife Ji Liang were not in the city, as for General Ji Xiao, who was edicted to crusade against the thieves, he did not return to Jinzhou for two years, and many generals in Jinzhou were at the same level as him, not to mention that everyone was fighting hard by military merits, and it was not good to say who could convince whom, that is, in terms of the size of the fist, not all generals were amazing in martial arts, and there were those who won by outwitting- A room full of middle and high-level military leaders, you quarrel and I make trouble, and I am angry and roll up my sleeves to fight, but in the end I still can't tell the winner.

Later, Xun Jia, the first strategist under Wen Xianggong, came up with an idea, the old gentleman is now in his early fifties, just say that now Yongning City is besieged on all sides, the garrison and the border guards are separated, and each leads 10,000 people to garrison a city tower, as long as the Northern Wei Dynasty is not a strong attack, it should be provoked, and the 7,000 Ji family army is dispatched by Qi Rui in case of omissions.

As for the remaining 3,000 militiamen, they worked with the guards to maintain order in the city, and the city was opened and closed on time every day, and those who wandered outside beyond the time should be put in prison.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent, and after a while, they led their own troops. Only Qi Zheng smiled bitterly at Xun Jia, but the old man who was over the age of sixteen smiled and straightened his chin and beard and said: "Yongning City has many generals, since they are not in harmony, they will be separated, but it is indispensable to ask General Qi to visit the various city gates every day, fortunately, the city gate of Yongning City is strong, and there is a lot of grain. ”

"That's all, do you just let the Northern Wei soldiers and horses seize other towns?" Qi Zheng frowned.

"The general still remembers that Changping County taught people to deceive people to open the city gate, which shows that there are traitors in Jinzhou, but now in wartime, people are panicked, and they can't investigate, so they can only stick to themselves and not let me lose too much of the army and horses in Yongning City. Xun Jia stood up with his hands folded and looked at the fluttering snow outside the window, and sighed, "And now that the people are separated, this person can see clearly if he has colluded with a little, and he is just a stubborn defender, and he is not allowed to pay attention to any provocation, so it is impossible for someone to feign defeat and sacrifice the city when the two armies are engaged, but this time it is hard for the general to take the Ji family army to the four cities, which has a deterrent effect." ”

"But what if the Northern Wei Dynasty stormed Yongning City?" Qi Zheng was silent for a moment, this man who was thick on the outside and thin on the inside only felt sad in his heart, he really didn't want to doubt the robes around him, but now he heard Mr. Xun's words, but he also knew that Yongning City seemed to be safe but was actually in danger, although he didn't know why the old man was willing to trust himself, but he was unwilling to live up to this effort.

"The Northern Wei Dynasty is divided into four roads to the south, each road is about twenty or thirty thousand people, and the leader is the four princes of the Northern Wei Dynasty Tuoba Zhi, in the past, I only heard that this prince is serious, good at internal affairs, and I have not heard that he is good at the art of war, but the great prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty is famous, so if he is not a genius who never comes to war, he can resist the enemy, or the Northern Wei Dynasty is not Yongning City, they are just to contain it. Xun Jia sighed, this old man who followed his lord to fight half of his body and defended Yongning City for half his life, always had deep worries in his heart.

And so for a month.

From late autumn to midwinter, watching the originally thin snowflakes outside the window turn into snowflakes as big as a seat, Qi Zheng has never felt that time is so difficult, they are stationed in Yongning City, but it seems to be an island in the lake, surrounded by turbulent water, waiting for reinforcements from nowhere, waiting for someone who will become their peak, and I don't know what kind of cleansing will be ushered in after the war...... There are too many unknowns in his heart, but when he looks around, Mr. Xun, who is respected by him, can still drink wine and write poems in the heavy snow and get drunk.

Qi Zheng waited for reinforcements to arrive for a long time, and the anger that was heavy in his heart turned into a crying smile on his lips because of the old man's free and easy behavior, but he was also a little relieved in his heart, no matter what, he believed that his brother who was far away in Chang'an, the other party would definitely not really see him in death and ignore him.

On the first day of November, the first day of the snow cleared, and the winter sun poured down from the sky, along with the thick ice edges that formed on the city walls, it was a rare day of good weather.

The general guarding the north gate is the garrison is subordinate to the border guards, the generals of the army Yin Ping and Qi Zheng are all generals from the fourth grade, he was born in the Yin family, the men in the clan are born with divine power, and they are in the army, the Yin family is by the sea, and the clansmen are born water guests, but he is an exception, as soon as he gets on the deck, he gets seasick, and when he reaches the age of sixteen, he takes his little cousin to wait for the tide to fall and pick up sea crabs, and happens to meet Ji Rin who was teased by the Jiang family, and he calmed down when he saw that the other party was suddenly thrown into the water, and he also learned to swim in the water, and he was surprised.

When Ji Rin got up from the water, the two sat around the beach, lit a bonfire, Ji Rin took off his robe and dried it, and he led his little cousin to catch crabs. Bingzhou itself borders Jinzhou, and it was first dispersed to Bingzhou with the prestige of Ji Rin, and he naturally admired this young general who was about the same age as his little cousin, and when he heard the other party say that this time he was going to the Jiang family to ask for marriage, he was naturally unhappy for this brother.

It is true that the Jiang family is rich in the world, but it is not true that the Jiang family is good or bad, he is still a stunned young man, and when he heard that Ji Rin wanted to marry the Jiang family girl, he blurted out that it was not good, but he never thought of talking deeply.

Ji Rin didn't get angry when she heard it, first thanked him for speaking up, and then said that her mother had seen the Jiang family's lady, and the girl had an extraordinary bearing and decisive temperament, which could be a good match. He has recognized this brother ever since.

Waiting for the other party to leave, he asked his little cousin to help cover up, packed his package and inquired in advance about the post station they must pass through to return to Jinzhou, ran for three days and waited at the post station, and waited for the other party to arrive all the way before he smiled and said that he would follow him to join the Ji family's army.

Ji Rin didn't argue with Yin Ping after hearing this, he only said that it was hard in the army, and he could go with it, train for half a year first, and then transfer to the military if he could adapt, and then pack up and go home. Yin Ping was a donkey at that time, and he was brushed by Ji Rin like this, so he obeyed it, and seriously repaired a book to apologize to the elders in the clan, and Ji Rin wrote another letter to explain the reason for the matter, and then sent someone to send the letter back.

The first time he went to the battlefield was to follow Ji Rin to fight with the Northern Wei Dynasty, and that was when he had just survived training and became Ji Rin's personal guard. The other party's small group of people is only two or three thousand, but they are the elite of the Ji family's army, and before he comes back to his senses, the robes who are talking and laughing around him turn into wolves and rush towards each other.

After the sound of soldiers, the ground was in shambles, and he rolled off his horse and vomited. Ji Rin jumped down from the horse, tore off the sheepskin water bag hanging next to the saddle and handed it to him, only asked him one sentence, do you want to change military status? He poured cold white water, looked at Lang Jun in front of him who was younger than himself, gritted his teeth and said, "Turn!", since then Ji Rin took him for another half a year, and then he transferred to the border guards, relying on the harassment of a small army in the Northern Wei Dynasty every year, it was a rapid meritorious service, so in the blink of an eye, it was seven or eight years, and he is now also a general from the fourth grade.

This time Yongning City is worried about external troubles, Wen Xianggong is thankful again, he has no side thoughts in his heart, the roots of the Ji family are in Jinzhou, Ji Rin always has to come back, he will guard Yongning City for this brother, Ji Rin will not return for a day, this Yongning City will not be allowed to have an accident for a day, it is to the four gates of the east, west, south and north, he asked for orders to guard the north gate, even if the soldiers and horses of the Northern Wei Dynasty are several miles below the city, and even the other general is wearing women's clothes to mock him, he will obey Mr. Xun's orders, even if there is a raging anger burning in his heart, he just didn't see it!
