Chapter 3.25

The palace was panicked because of the border pass, and there were dozens of people who were sent down for angering the emperor in half a day, ranging from eunuchs, palace maids to concubines, so when Ren Jia and You'an River entered the Purple Palace, the whole hall was almost audible.

Wei Lixin looked at the sheepskin map spread out on the dragon case and frowned, and when he saw the two people who entered, he signaled to excuse himself, and after venting his anger earlier, his eyebrows were very calm, "Border Pass Emergency, except for Longquan Pass, the rest of the borders of the dynasty are all in danger, especially in the area of Yuanzhou, all of them have fallen, Rong Di has wantonly burned and looted as soon as he entered the border pass town, and now he has slaughtered many towns, and there are more than tens of thousands of casualties among the soldiers and civilians at the border pass, what do you think?" ”

Ren Jia exchanged a look with You Anhe, and the other party stepped forward and said, "Rong Di's southward movement has a lot to do with the grassland epidemic this summer, Rong Di is now attacking more than 200,000 people in a big way, I'm afraid it won't be light, if you don't plan a strategy to deal with the enemy as soon as possible, I'm afraid that the border pass will be in danger, and I will be in danger of the country." ”

Wei Lixin didn't make a sound, and turned to look at Ren Jia, who hadn't been seen for a long time, Ren Jia stepped forward and said, "The minister and the marshal see the same, Rong Di's southward movement endangers the country, and I also ask Your Majesty to make a holy decision as soon as possible." ”

Looking at the girl in the hall who had not been seen for a long time, Wei Lixin's extremely anxious mood earlier because of the changes in the border pass was relieved, and he had been rejected many times in the past few months, and now he suddenly felt a sense of being separated from the world, but now is not the time to think about these things, he said bluntly, "The matter of this conquest of Rong Di cannot be delayed, I have already made a decision in my heart, but I still need the marshal to help me refer to it." ”

"The minister is terrified." You Anhe bowed and saluted, and Wei Lixin showed a slightly strange smile on his face, "Regarding the general candidates for Rong Di this time, can the marshal recommend it?" ”

Ren Jia seemed to feel something in his heart, looked at Wei Lixin's eyes, saw the banter in the other party's eyes, and exchanged a look with You Anhe in private, and after the two secretly reached a consensus, You Anhe spoke, "The minister has been leading troops all the year round, and he is not very familiar with the generals of the DPRK and China, but he has dealt with Liang Dudu many times last year, and he feels that Liang Dudu is worthy of a big responsibility." ”

"Oh? Does the marshal really think so? Wei Lixin stepped down from the main seat and walked slowly in front of the two of them, "If you talk about me, the governor of Liang, I did have a close relationship with the border army before, whether it is to solve the urgent need for food and grass for the border army or to fight together between the two armies, it is remarkable, if the marshal recommends her, I also think she is a good candidate in my heart." So, Liang Yiyun, what do you think about the marshal's recommendation? ”

Ren Jia has long lost any hope for this emperor who still likes to play tricks, if she is unwilling to enter the court at this time, Wei Lixin is only afraid that she has prepared a lot of back-ups, and it is not accidental that she will meet You Anhe at the gate of the palace and meet the two together, but she has already made plans for the conquest of Rong Di, and now she is just pushing the boat down the river, so she smiled slightly, "It is the honor of the minister to serve the country, but the minister is sent by His Majesty." ”

"Good, good, good," Wei Lixin praised three times in a row, and his face showed some pleasant color at this time, "Yi Yun is worthy of being my humerus minister, if I can refuse Rong Di outside the pass this time, I will definitely reward him lavishly." ”

Ren Jia was very determined, and she was too lazy to say anything about Wei Lixin's behavior of showing favor and betrayal, anyway, with the urgency of the military situation at the border pass, she was afraid that she would have to leave Beijing in the next two days, so she turned to mention the matter at home, "I am afraid that it will take a long time to go to the border gate this time, and my father at home has been in poor health recently, so I implore Your Majesty to help me take care of my relatives at home, so as to eliminate the worries of the minister." ”

Although Wei Lixin said that he felt a little pity for Liang Yi's abolished chess move, compared to the military situation in front of him, showing favor to Liang Yiyun is the most important thing, after all, if you want someone to die for yourself in front of the battle, you always have to pay something, so he readily agreed, "You go this time and only take care of military affairs, the family members in the Yuanjing Mansion will order someone to take care of you carefully, I have already passed the letter to the border pass to appoint you as the commander of the forward battalion, and the leading army in front of the battle cherishes the enemy." ”

Compared with her left and right leading army Wei Dudu, the commander of the forward battalion has similar ranks, and he is also the leader of the real power, it seems that Wei Lixin has made a bloody capital this time, Ren Jia bowed down to receive the order, You Anhe looked at it and sighed secretly in his heart, although this is Xiaoyou's own choice, but he has already made a decision in his heart about the choice of this general, even if the emperor does not mention it, he is afraid that he will have to fight, he is now under semi-house arrest in Yuanjing, and those comrades at the border pass are said to be delivered, except for the person in front of him.

Wei Lixin looked at the two people who slowly withdrew from the main hall, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart about the military situation at the border pass, if it weren't for the fact that the current generals of the court and the central government have more or less something to do with the vassal king and the family, he would not have reactivated Liang Yiyun, this time it was really a helpless move, but judging from Liang Yiyun's past performance and border pass records, it can be regarded as a wise move.

After Ren Jia returned home, she began to pack up overnight, and briefly explained her itinerary with Liang Yi and Pei Yuansi, and in the worried and reluctant eyes of the two, she directly raised five hundred people from the left and right leading guards, and then quickly embarked on the journey to the border pass.

The starry night rush finally arrived at the border pass ten days later, at this time they brought more than 1,000 military horses to run only more than 200 horses, Longquan Pass is better than the rest of the passes they saw along the way, but it was also several times Rong Di broke through the city wall into it, and there were homeless people everywhere, the fields and houses were damaged countless times, and many places were filled with choking gunsmoke, Ren Jia looked around with solemn eyes, and then led people into the border army camp.

Yu Guangqi had already received Yuan Jing's letter of appointment, and he agreed very much with Wei Lixin's appointment of Ren Jia as the commander of the forward battalion, and he was very excited when he saw the people who came in a hurry.

Half a month later, the forward battalion of the Longquan Guanding Yuan Army became famous, but in half a month, the border began to spread the ballad of "Liang Yiyun, a female general, thousands of troops and horses avoid the purple flag". The forward battalion of the Dingyuan Army took the purple flag as the number, under the leadership of Liang Yiyun, the commander of the forward battalion, with a lone army of 7,000 border troops to penetrate into the Rongdi army, fought more than 40 times from Yuanzhou Gongxian to Jieyang, Xuzhou, and attacked 32 cities, all of which were invincible to defeat the enemy, especially in the battle of Suiyang, with 3,000 border troops against more than 20,000 Rong Di, and strangled all the Rong Di Chinese troops who had gone south to slaughter the city, destroyed more than 10,000 enemies, captured more than 1,000 battlefield pits, and greatly boosted the morale of the border army.

For a time, the legend of Rong Di being called the female general of the magic star was circulating in the entire dynasty, and some people dug up all the life of Liang Yiyun, whether it was arrogant and arrogant in Yuanjing in the early years, or later as a woman, the emperor appointed the left and right leading military guards to the governor, especially the elite left and right leading military guards under her command were shining when they conquered Rong Di, whether it was martial arts on the battlefield or very strict in governing the army, every time they regained a place, they left a lot of legends, and even Liang Yi, who was in Yuanjing, learned where his daughter was marching now. How many men and horses did Rong Di destroy, how brave he was to lead the border army to fight, and there were many southbound refugees who came from the border pass to have a deep blood feud with Rong Di After entering Yuanjing, many of them gathered outside the gate of Liang Mansion to kowtow and thank you, which made Liang Yi have mixed feelings in his heart.

This time, the daughter really fulfilled his long-cherished wish when he was young, refused to Rong Di outside the gate, and brought his comrades to the battlefield, what else could he, a father, do if he is not proud of his daughter.

With the advancement of the border war, Rong Di's southward momentum finally slowed down under the obstruction of Ren Jia's army, and in a blink of an eye, it was the winter of dripping water into ice, and many refugees displaced by Rong Di finally settled down, especially in the towns that were slaughtered by Rong Di, almost every household set up the immortal tablet of Liang's father and daughter, praying for the brave and warlike female general.

Ren Jia looked at the Rong Di soldiers who were slowly retreating not far away, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, the winter at the border pass is too cold, especially this year is a rare winter in decades, many soldiers have long been unable to hold on, although she herself is fine, but she can't force the soldiers to go out to fight in such weather, and finally expel Rong Di, at least this winter can be relieved, Rong Di must be difficult to regain morale this winter.

"General, it's cold, you better go back and rest early." The soldiers and generals beside him saw that the commander was now staying on the city wall for a long time every day, and couldn't help but persuade them, and now the time for them to be stationed on the city wall has changed from the previous three hours to one hour, and the weather is too cold, and staying on the city wall for a long time will freeze people to death.

Although the boss is very brave on the battlefield, he is a woman after all, and there is a difference between him and these rough men, so it is better to stay in the camp more.

"The shift time is coming, you guys pack up and go back to the camp early, I'll stay for a while, by the way, let the head battalion prepare more ginger tea to ward off the cold, a few days ago Beijing sent a lot of grain and grass, so that they don't save money for General Ben." Ren Jia looked at the soldier in front of him who was shivering and pale, and said with a smile, now that her official position has changed, it is no longer appropriate to call her seat in the army, so she followed the name of Yu Guangqi and these people, and she is a lot closer to the soldiers.

"Yes, General!" The soldiers who received the order smiled happily, and when they saw that the team on duty had already gone up to the city tower, they went down the city wall with their teammates with joy.

It's so cold this year, and I don't know how Liang Yi's body is, although Ren Jia said that he received a letter from home, he knew a lot about Liang Yi's temperament of reporting good news and not bad news, so she had always been a little unable to let go of it.

"General, Yuanjing Eight Hundred Miles Urgent Express!" Under the city wall, a herald hurried on horseback and shouted to the commander on the wall.

Ren Jia heard that he quickly moved off the city wall, and now the border army is facing off with Rong Dicheng, and the two sides have long been unable to resume the war under the harsh winter, so when he heard that Yuanjing was in an emergency, he was a little curious about what happened in Yuanjing.

Returning to the camp tent to pinch open the wax pills hidden in the express, Ren Jia's heart jumped after just one glance, Wei Lixin was critically ill, the regent of You'anhe, and the family of the vassal kings were plotting against him, and the storm in Yuanjing was coming, You'anhe asked her to return to Beijing after arranging the border army, so as to help him stabilize the court, if it weren't for the soldiers and horses inside and outside Yuanjing, which are now all in the hands of Wei Lixin's cronies and You'anhe, I am afraid that the court has already turned the sky upside down.

Ren Jia sighed in her heart, sure enough, the world is unpredictable, and now the situation in Yuanjing is exactly what she planned in her heart, and she didn't expect that the situation would fall before she could make a move, so it seems that she can take advantage of the situation to complete the plan in her heart.

After fixing the plan for the future, Ren Jia found Yu Guangqi to briefly explain some things in the army, and then took dozens of soldiers and horses to set off overnight on the way back to Yuanjing.

Thinking of the turmoil in Yuanjing City, Ren Jia's heart is hot, if she can, I hope that this time she can completely solve her confidant's trouble.
