Chapter 43: The Night Returns (2)

Even Ren Xiaohang didn't dare to treat Junzhang as a child at this time. Don't look at him three years older than Ren Xiaohang, and he also studied under a master, but after all, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers. In front of the prince, he, a courtier, could only stand aside very respectfully.

Don't look at Jiang Junzhang is only fourteen years old, but he can survive in the cannibalistic place in the palace, and his heart is not as simple as he seems on the surface. Who in the royal family is really simple? If you really don't defend against anyone, you will already become a pile of bones.

"They're so ruthless! More than 100 people's lives, let them be harmed! Let his father also bear the infamy of killing Zhongliang, if it wasn't for the master who secretly found clues and notified his father, this matter would not have been exposed. ”

Speaking of this, Ren Xiaohang is also angry.

When he followed the clues provided by the master to search, the clues were suddenly cut off.

He received a message from his master and immediately set off for Hailing without a moment's delay. But by the time he arrived at the area mentioned by the master, it was in ruins. What does it mean that he was on a mission in the palace at the time? It shows that the emperor has hidden the other party's hidden stakes around him, and he is a hidden master. Thinking of this, Ren Xiaohang was shocked.

The emperor is surrounded by old men who have served for many years, and they are loyal to the emperor. He had secretly searched carefully afterwards, but no one was suspicious, and this result made him deeply worried. Because of that incident back then, it involved treason with the enemy, and the entire Ouyang family was sentenced to behead because of this incident. It's no wonder that on the execution ground, Ouyang Jingde hissed and shouted injustice. At that time, no one believed that he was wronged, after all, the evidence was conclusive, but I didn't expect it to be really wronged.

"What did your uncle say?" Jiang Junzhang asked.

Ren Xiaohang said with a gloomy face: "My uncle doesn't have any clues there. Although he was also in the border city at the time, he was only the captain of the sixth grade, how did he know about Ouyang Dutong? ”

Ren Xiaohang's uncle is called Ren Changqing, who is currently the general of Zhaowu in Baishan City, an important border town in the Daye Dynasty, and is a military attache of the third grade. He led 50,000 soldiers and horses to guard Baishan City, which was the last barrier between the Liao Kingdom and the Daye Dynasty.

Fifteen years ago, Ouyang Jingde, a famous military general of the Daye Dynasty, led the military affairs of Baishan City, Pinghua City, and Heihe City, the three cities in the northeast border. Ouyang Jingde made a good marksmanship, and the original seventy-two Ouyang marksmanship was also extinct with the Ouyang family's full of beheadings.

According to rumors, among Ouyang Jingde's seventy-two marksmanship, the three moves of rainstorm pear blossoms, blooming flowers and exploring the sun in the fog are the essence of marksmanship, and they are the secret tricks of the Ouyang family. Ouyang Jingde almost never used these three moves, because if he used them, it would be a killer move. Therefore, no one has seen the power of these three moves.

Because of Ouyang Jingde, the northeast border has been stable for decades. The Liao State has also tried several times, and each time it has returned with a feather, and the leading generals sent by it have no suspense to be beheaded by Ouyang Jingde. The Liao State hated Ouyang Jingde to the core, but he couldn't beat it, so he had to extinguish the idea of invading the south.

Unexpectedly, in a treason incident more than ten years ago, Ouyang's family was beheaded all over the house. It is said that the king of Liao at that time laughed when he heard about it, and said to his ministers in the early dynasty: "The emperor of the Daye Dynasty is really stupid, Ouyang Jingde is loyal to the imperial court, how can he collaborate with the enemy and commit treason?" Good! Well done! He's self-destructing the walls! In time, the iron hooves of my Great Liao Kingdom will surely step into the land of the Ye Dynasty. ”

Sure enough, not long after the Ouyang family was wiped out, the Liao State sent the most elite 150,000 soldiers and horses to attack Baishan City, Pinghua City and Heihe City at the same time. It is said that it is attacking at the same time, but it is actually an external statement. It was only a feint attack on Pinghua City and Heihe City, and only a small number of troops and horses were sent, focusing on the attack on Baishan City.

At that time, it was Ren Xiaohang's grandfather Ren Guozhong who was stationed in Baishan City, and he was not the general of Zhenguo at that time, but he was the same general as his eldest son Ren Changqing. His men only had 50,000 soldiers and horses, and in the face of the menacing Liao soldiers and horses, Ren Guozhong did not send troops to meet the battle, but closed the city gate. On the one hand, he urgently appealed to the imperial court, and on the other hand, he organized his troops to use rockets, oil and hot water to repel the Liao attacks again and again. Once, almost all the Liao troops went up to the city wall, and Ren Guozhong took the lead, came to the city wall in person, brandished a big knife and cut off the Liao army one by one. Under his leadership, the soldiers of the Daye Dynasty fought bravely to kill the enemy, and finally waited for foreign aid to repel the attack of the Liao State. At a very small cost, an absolute victory was achieved. After that battle, the emperor praised Ren Guozhong and named Ren Guozhong as the general of Zhengyipin Zhenguo.

The reason for the victory in that battle was related to the strategy and tactics adopted by Ren Guozhong. He was very calm in the face of a strong enemy, and did not send troops to do anything brutally, but organized the people of the whole city to provide backup. There is a steady stream of fires, rescuers of the wounded, and cooking. Some young men with strong blood also took their clubs and kitchen knives to the city wall and joined the battle. Therefore, soldiers and civilians are the foundation of victory, and they are suitable for any dynasty and generation.

In the West House, both Junzhang and Ren Xiaohang fell into deep thought.

"I went to Baishan City once in the past two days," Ren Xiaohang broke the silence, "I exchanged views with my uncle, and the Liao Kingdom is eyeing it, after all, it will be the trouble." However, the generals of our dynasty have been more or less involved in factional disputes in recent years, which cannot but be worrying. Most of them spend their energy on intrigue and taking sides. A few people like my uncle still insist on training soldiers and horses, but his lieutenant always disagrees with him. ”

"Meng Qingwei? I know this man. It's the second brother, no, he's the second prince's person, and he's the cousin of the second prince's concubine Meng Qianqian. This person is the stinger that the second prince planted next to General Ren, and the consequences are unimaginable once he turns back. Jiang Junzhang's mouth calmly analyzed, but his heart was clouded. I don't know what my father is thinking, the factional disputes in the court are becoming more and more obvious, which has seriously affected the normal operation of state affairs. It's really worrying if it goes on like this for a long time.

Ren Xiaohang sighed helplessly: "Then what can be done?" After all, he was sent by the imperial court, and my uncle couldn't help it. What he didn't say was that he secretly sent five guards to take turns to protect the uncle's safety. He always had a sense of foreboding, as if something big was going to happen, but he couldn't predict what it was.

Jiang Junzhang suddenly said, "I'll leave tomorrow night, and you send someone to pick me up." ”

"Are you all right? Don't stay for two more days. ”

"No, if it weren't for tomorrow, I could leave today."

Ren Xiaohang asked strangely, "Oh? What's up? ”

Jiang Junzhang suddenly smiled and said, "You are really blessed, do you know what ideas this Li Ziyu came up with for you?" ”

Ren Xiaohang thought for a moment and said, "Isn't it that you also know about the hot pot city?" ”

Jiang Junzhang said: "You don't know what she has in her head, and in some ways, you and I can't catch up with her." So, Jiang Junzhang told him what Li Ziyu asked him to write.

Ren Xiaohang was also taken aback when he heard it, he didn't expect this girl to have such a mind.
