The death of the great general Zhao Yan was certainly a regret of the Da'an Dynasty, but it also helped Duan Bailan invisibly. He originally wanted to consolidate his power in the court, but when Zhao Yan died, his henchman Yuan Shen had the opportunity to take on important responsibilities.

Now that the emperor learned that General Zhao Yan had died, he was most saddened. He transported General Zhao Yan's body back, waited for the return of General Zhao Yan's dead with the highest etiquette, and also generously rewarded General Zhao Yan's relatives and family members to show comfort. The whole country is immersed in grief, and the emperor's biggest headache is who can take on the heavy task of recovering the northern territory in the future.

Duan Bailan knew that if he rashly proposed to let Yuan Shen take the position of general, the emperor would categorically not accept it. He has long been jealous of his position in the DPRK and China, and has been quietly transferring his power. If Yuan Shen wants to ascend to the position of general, he must dissociate himself from himself.

Then he asked another minister in the court who was a close friend of him to take the opportunity to recommend Yuan Shen. At the time of the official crisis, since the ministers said that Yuan Shen was both civil and military, and he was quite smart, they promoted Yuan Shen to general and replaced Zhao Yan's previous position. When appointing Yuan Shen, the emperor deliberately asked Duan Bailan what he thought, wanting to see if the other party had any connection with him.

Duan Bailan had long expected that the emperor would be so worried, and said without humility or arrogance: "Go back to the emperor." The minister has heard that Yuan Shen's ability is indeed outstanding, but the northern border is not an ordinary place, and the minister does not know whether Yuan Shen can take on this important task, and he also asks the emperor to decide. ”

The emperor was very satisfied with his reply, so he dispelled his concerns and asked Yuan Shen to go to the north to recover the military camp. Duan Bailan has never understood one thing, this northern place is not such a dangerous place, General Zhao Yan has been fighting on the battlefield for many years and has rich experience, how could he be easily killed?

Before Yuan Shen set out on the expedition, Duan Bailan told him that the cause of General Zhao Yan's death was strange, and he must be more careful on this trip, and Yuan Shen carefully followed the teachings. After arriving in the north, he suddenly understood why the dignified General Zhao Yan was killed. Yuan Shen observed for a few days, and sent a lot of detailed work to learn that the other party's army was not as weak as he imagined.

It turned out that the Xiongnu and Tuoba tribes expected that the Da'an Dynasty would definitely not think that they would form an alliance in advance, and that the northern land was just a small place, and the Da'an Dynasty would definitely not put too much energy here, so they would take the opportunity to meet here, and then take each other by surprise.

Although General Zhao Yan was wise and martial, he never expected this enemy to be so cunning. Faced with an army several times stronger than himself, he eventually fell. Yuan Shen didn't dare to delay after learning the information, and immediately reported the matter to the emperor and Duan Bailan. The emperor also immediately summoned various ministers to the palace to discuss the matter in order to seek countermeasures.

The proposal was to have a large number of troops to support General Yuan Shen, and if it was delayed any longer, not only in the north, but also in the entire Da'an Dynasty, it would be in jeopardy because of missing the excellent opportunity to counterattack. But there is still a difficult matter at the moment, and that is who will go on the expedition.

This general Yuan Shen did not have much experience in warfare, and in the face of the enemy's huge organization, he had to go to a general with rich combat experience. Although General Liu is old, he still has the past

, so he immediately proposed: "Your Majesty, the minister has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and this time he will definitely not disappoint the emperor's expectations!" ”

The emperor also considered General Liu, but he also thought that he was old and the environment of the war was very bad, and if something went wrong in the middle, it would delay the march to the army, so he said: "Liu Aiqing, I know that you are thinking about Da'an, but this war is extremely dangerous, General Zhao has already taken the lead, and I must not lose you again!" ”

After discussing for a long time, the emperor asked them to go back first and discuss it tomorrow. Duan Bailan thought that he was the most suitable for this expedition, so he told Liu Nianru about it.

"I'm going to go with you." When Liu Nianru heard what Duan Bailan said, her first reaction was this.

"Ru'er, don't mess around, this is a war, not child's play." Duan Bailan regretted telling her about it.

If it weren't for Duan Bailan here, Liu Nianru would have been unable to stay for a long time. Besides, the sword had no eyes on the battlefield, and she was very worried about Duan Bailan's safety. When he used to be a killer, he went to places that were more dangerous than the battlefield, so Liu Nianru was not worried that she would not adapt to the environment.

"On the battlefield, I am naturally measured. Ever since I was a child, my father told me a lot about his time at war, and besides, it was nothing. ”

Duan Bailan saw that Liu Nianru's attitude was so resolute, and she had a plan. "Ru'er, you have more important things to accomplish here. We don't know about the relationship between the Lunatic Cult and Qingqing, so you'll have to take care of her safety yourself. ”

"But Changwu can also do these things, and you can rest assured that she will do things."

"But you still have to keep an eye on the emperor's and the queen's every move, I don't worry about anyone else, I can only do it with you. Besides, if you follow me, I will definitely be distracted along the way. Duan Bailan was reluctant to let her take risks with her, only if she stayed in the capital could she be safe, and she could feel at ease.

Liu Nianru knew that it was pointless for her to argue with the other party, and Duan Bailan would never let her go. If he insisted on not listening to him, Bai Lan didn't know what to do with him, so he had to pretend to agree to the other party first.

"Duan Bailan, you must give me a safe return!" Liu Nianru's heart was a little uneasy, and she was inexplicably uncomfortable after saying this. She knew that Duan Bailan was very smart, but she still couldn't help but worry.

Seeing that Liu Nianru was so nervous about herself, Duan Bailan touched her head, "Ru'er, you have changed. ”

Liu Nianru was puzzled, "Where have I changed?" ”

"You're becoming more concerned about me." Duan Bailan said with a smile.

Duan Bailan's expedition was just around the corner, and in order to create the illusion that she was obediently in the house, Liu Nianru first colluded with Changwu and asked her to pretend to be herself at home.

"Miss, why don't you listen to the king's opinion on this matter, it's too risky for you to do this." After listening to Liu Nianru's plan with herself, Chang Wu was very worried.

Liu Nianru has already made up her mind, anyway, with her kung fu, ordinary people are definitely not her opponents. I have also lived in the wild for many years, so there is no need to worry about the bumpy road on the march. "Don't mention it to anyone, I'll have no problem."

Changwu nodded, but he still sweated for Liu Nianru. This plan is too risky, even she is not sure to stick to it, Liu Nianru grew up in fine clothes and jade food, can she hold on?
