Chapter 411: That Night (19)

In more than ten years, Chen Wenxiu relied on one mouth and the public opinion during that special period to promote from a small military officer to a high position in the left waiter of the military department. And his rhetoric not only has a great impact on those civil officials who want to go down in history and his father, but even many generals in the military department are bewitched by him. At that time, the third brother's ability to control the Xingchen Army was far less than now, and he was often guarding in various places, and there were many fewer opportunities to really influence the court, so this arrogant atmosphere had reached an extremely dangerous point. But when the third brother returned to Beijing, he, the prince who dared to provoke and scold, and who was going to draw his sword and destroy the nine clans if he disagreed, once again used the strength of one person and the support of those loyal generals brought back from the battlefield, and once again nipminated this pie painting plan in the bud.

Chen Wenxiu probably understood at that time that if the third brother was still in Shengjing, then his plan to be promoted to become rich and even dream of becoming the commander-in-chief of the Xingchen Army would be difficult to achieve. Therefore, the idea of getting the third brother out of Shengjing began to be played. He himself knew very well that there was absolutely no possibility of demoting the third brother from his father out of Beijing under the circumstances at that time, so he began to encourage the officials of the Ministry of War to write a letter, since it was to defend against the white Japanese people in southern Xinjiang, then there must be a strong enough commander to sit in the town, and even came up with the southern Xinjiang town to guard the governor's mansion, which can control all civil and military power in wartime.

The elder brother didn't know why his father agreed to such a recital at that time, and handed over this important task to the third brother. But the third brother was initially opposed to such a position as the governor of the town, and even wanted to refuse, but unfortunately people are not as good as heaven. At that time, when the court struggle was at its most intense, and the father and emperor were also swaying from side to side and it was difficult to make up their minds, the Bai Wei people suddenly started the Northern Expedition, and the momentum was like a bamboo, connecting the five star fields of the lower frontier, and it was even rumored that the troops were pointing directly at Shengjing. In this case, the third brother put on armor and held a sword, and without hesitation, he took away the seal of the governor's palace in southern Xinjiang, and led the army on an expedition to southern Xinjiang. This is also the first battle of southern Xinjiang that we often refer to when we talk about it now. ”

Hearing this, Yu Xiaoxiang pursed her lips, looked at Xiao Muxing with some disdain and said, "Don't blame me for telling the truth, what you did at that time was like a white-eyed wolf." When it's useful, long live Prince Ling Xiao, and when it's useless, it's a monopoly of power! The benefits are all for you, and the disadvantages are all for your Highness, so are you embarrassed! If you have the ability to say, why don't you have the ability to lead troops to war? People fight for life and death, and they don't even have a good word when they come back, is it interesting?"

Two red clouds flew up on Xiao Muxingjun's face in an instant, and he touched his nose awkwardly and said, "At that time, at that time...... Hey......"

"Xiang'er, father and eldest brother were also deceived by villains at that time, no wonder they. Xiao Feixing excused his brother, which was a temporary relief from this embarrassment.

In fact, Yu Xiaoxiang also knew that Xiao Muxing's character was indeed not this kind of villain, as long as he looked at his red face at the moment, he knew that he must have regretted it very much, so he rolled his eyes and stopped bothering him.

Seeing that the little beauty didn't speak, Xiao Muxing breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "The first battle of southern Xinjiang was very tragic, and the Xingchen Army had a total of four ship groups participating in the battle, although in the end all the white Japanese people were driven out of the newly occupied areas of southern Xinjiang, but considering the existence of the bone-devouring corridor and the huge loss of nearly one ship group, the third brother's army reached the point and achieved a defensive war in the full sense, and did not take another step forward, even the seventeen star fields that were originally occupied were still in the hands of the white Japanese people. ”

"Hmph, people know, it must be that villain who started to play right and wrong in the court again, saying that our Royal Highness is cowardly and fearful, right?" Yu Xiaoxiang said in a disdainful tone like a half-immortal.

This time, Xiao Muxing nodded very calmly: "It is true that as Xiang'er said, there was indeed such a statement at that time, but it was unpopular, and even my father and emperor scolded a few high-ranking petty officials at the court meeting for this, and suppressed this statement." In the next five years, the third brother guarded the Southern Xinjiang Governor's Palace, so that the White Wa people did not dare to attack for the time being, and taking advantage of this opportunity, the Imperial Star Army also began to replenish its troops. It was also at that time that the total number of the Star Army increased by one and a half ship groups. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Muxing glanced at Xiao Feixing, and said quietly: "Then, when you were eight years old, the southern Xinjiang rout that happened!"

"The big rout? and such a thing? Why don't I know?" Xiao Feixing looked at Xiao Muxing inexplicably.

"Because, the cause of that great rout was almost everyone in the court! After that, no one wanted to mention it, let alone admit that he was one of those stupid people. Therefore, even the history books have been replaced by the Second Battle of Southern Xinjiang, which only tells the history of your third brother's brave and invincible and swept away the White Japanese Army, but the cause and the most tragic part are all erased. Xiao Muxing sighed gloomily, and was silent for a long time before he said: "In the fifth year of the third brother's defense of southern Xinjiang, the military strength of the Xingchen Army has increased greatly, and Chen Wenxiu's rhetoric of advocating the easy first and then the difficult has begun to flourish again in the empire. After nearly 30 years of controversy, even the father felt that if the third brother came back for details, it would be another protracted dispute, and in the end nothing was unsuccessful, so in the case of almost all the courtiers, the father and emperor in addition to the three ship groups allocated to the third brother to defend against the Bai Wa people, he ordered Chen Hao, the sister-in-law of the Chen family at that time, to be the general and lead the three ship groups to attack the northwest.

Faced with such a situation, the third brother took fifty-two seals in a row, all of which were suppressed by his father, and Chen Hao was like a bamboo in the early stage of the war, directly attacking the Tianxing Kingdom in the northwest, which was closest to the empire.

In this case, you can imagine what the atmosphere in the empire is like, and Chen Wenxiu is even more proud, saying that he is going to inspect southern Xinjiang, and by the way, he also says that he wants to persuade the third brother to agree with the strategy he proposed. The father didn't want to get into trouble with his son, so he agreed to this request and gave Chen Wenxiu a position as a defense envoy in southern Xinjiang.

Then Chen Wenxiu just wants to show off, what kind of persuasion will he be able to say. It's a pity that he didn't have time to show off, the day after he arrived in southern Xinjiang, Chen Hao was ambushed by the coalition forces in the northwest, although the troops did not suffer much loss, but the central flagship was annihilated by a surprise attack, and the whole army was leaderless in an instant, trapped in a narrow front. ”

"Hehe, this time, it is estimated that you people who eat and drink well in Shengjing every day, and only need to turn your mouth, are starting to think of our Royal Highness again?" Yu Xiaoxiang sneered at the moment with a sneer on his face.
