On the day of the expedition, Chen Xian, in the name of General Fuyuan, was personally enshrined by Emperor Wu of Liang and took the soldiers out of the city.

Xiao Mingyue stood at the head of the city and looked at Chen Xian from afar, and whispered, "You must take care, I will wait for you to come back." ”

Amber took the cloak from behind and put it on Xiao Mingyue and said, "Miss, it's windy here, let's go back." ”

Xiao Mingyue watched Chen Xian's horse go farther and farther away, until it was out of sight, then turned around and walked back with Amber.

In front of the palace gate, Emperor Wu of Liang and others watched Chen Xian leave, and Gonggong Feng tightened his cloak for Emperor Wu of Liang and said, "Your Majesty, it is windy outside, General Chen and they have already gone away, let's go back." ”

Emperor Wu of Liang coughed a few times in succession and said, "Well, let them all go back." ”

Gonggong Feng shouted: "Your Majesty has a decree, please let you go." "

So Emperor Wu returned to the palace with the support of Gonggong Feng.

Gao Dazai, Huang Shangshu and others also left one after another, and Xiao Wen, who was not far away, came over and said to Taifu Xue: "I heard that sending General Chen to fight on the front line is still Lord Taifu's idea?" "

Mrs. Xue blinked and said, "Your Majesty's body is getting worse day by day, and the front line is extremely dangerous, isn't this a good day for Your Highness?" "

When Xiao Wen heard this, the corners of his mouth rose and he smiled: "Master Taifu is really far-sighted. ”

Xue Taifu said again: "Then who does His Highness plan to start with first?" ”

Xiao Wen sneered after hearing this: "Don't worry, you can't run a single one anyway." ”

Northern wei dynasty.

Northwest, Gan Close.

Yu Wendi received Xiao Mingyue's letter, and after reading it, he decided to persuade Tuoba Hong, the king of Heqing, to send troops.

So he went to the main courtyard of King Heqing, explained the severity of the situation to King Heqing, and the temptation to go back to seize power moved King Heqing.

Yu Wendi said: "Now that Zhu Rong is a dog thief, it is time for the prince to avenge the first emperor and the queen mother. If we stand by and watch at this time, when Zhu Rong wins this battle, the next thing we will have to deal with is you, Lord Wang!"

When King Heqing heard this, he couldn't help but worry: "What I said is very true, in this way, I will send troops, but we don't have many troops, we are only 30,000 people, how can we compete with Zhu Rong's 100,000 army?" ”

Yuwendi hurriedly said: "Don't worry, now we have established good business and trade exchanges with Rouran and Tubo, if the prince personally writes a letter to send them over, asking them to send troops to help, they will definitely not refuse, over the years, their countries have been favored by the prince, and after the matter is completed, the benefits that the prince has given them are naturally indispensable." ”

King Heqing said: "In fact, this king does not have such great ambitions, and he has stayed in the northwest all these years, and he is at ease, but Zhu Rong is too much, first killing the king, and then rashly starting a war against Nanliang regardless of the suffering of the people, this king is almost unbearable." ”

Yu Wendi said: "Because of this, the prince wants to come out to preside over the overall situation, and the prince is the people's desire." ”

King Heqing nodded and said, "Okay!" The king wrote to several kings, asking them to send troops to help. ”

When even sent an envoy to send his heart back quickly, he sent it to Rouran Khan, and the king of Tubo and others.

The border between the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Great Liang, the city of Huaizhou.

Xiao was discussing military deployment with Adjutant General Jia and others.

I heard a report from the soldiers outside, "General Hui, General Chen, they have arrived." ”

Xiao Qi listened to it first, and hurriedly got up to greet him, and when he saw Chen Xian and the others, he exclaimed: "General Chen is really a young hero, and his instruments are extraordinary!"

Chen Xian hurriedly dismounted, stepped forward and saluted, "Chen Xian greets General Xiao!"

Xiao Qi first said: "Hurry up, the little girl Mingyue often praises you in letters, I have heard about your achievements in quelling the Nanzhao rebellion, and you are indeed a commander!"

Chen Xian said: "The general has won the award, and his subordinates are just brave and brave. ”

Xiao first smiled: "Okay! When the war starts tomorrow, what you want is your bravery to boost morale. ”

So, the war was imminent, and Xiao Qi first set up a banquet to entertain Chen Xian and other soldiers.

Early the next morning, the two armies set up positions outside Huaizhou.

Xiao Qi was the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses, and Chen Xian was the deputy general, and when the order was given, the soldiers rushed over one after another; The soldiers on the opposite side were led by Zhu Rong's nephew Zhu Ying.

The two sides met each other and started a fierce battle, and with a stick of incense, the enemy stopped attacking, and Xiao Qixian and others also collected their troops and returned to the camp.

Leave a small group of people to carry the body back.

in the barracks.

Chen Xian said: "General, this time the Wei people are just a small test, the real main force is still behind, we must take more precautions against the enemy's attack." ”

Xiao nodded first and said, "That's right, the enemy was just testing the waters just now, and you are responsible for defending the enemy army." ”

Chen Xian responded: "The subordinates obey the order." ”

……

Northern Wei court.

Zhu Rong was above the court and said to the ministers: "Now the strength of our army is far superior to that of Southern Liang, it is only a matter of time before they are defeated, and when the time comes, our Great Wei will annex Southern Liang, and we will be able to dominate the world!" With that, he burst out laughing.

The ministers didn't dare to reply to him, so they could only endure without making a sound, and a few sycophants echoed: "Lord Xiangguo is wise!"

And the three-year-old new emperor sat in the seat and didn't dare to say a word, at a young age, he seemed to be frightened, the queen mother next to him

Han Wanyi also didn't dare to take a mouthful.

So, after retiring from the court, Zhu Rong came to the little emperor's bedroom and said with a smile: "The emperor is really sensible, don't get involved in anything in the future, just leave everything to the ministers to deal with." ”

The little emperor sat in front of the collapse in a daze, nibbling on an apple.

Zhu Rong looked at Han Wanyi on the side and said, "The Queen Mother has cooperated very well, don't worry, I will protect your mother and son in the future." ”

After saying that, he laughed and brushed his sleeves away, leaving the Empress Dowager Han holding the little emperor in the dormitory and crying secretly.

……

Front.

After the correction, the two sides went to war again, and this time the Northern Wei forces increased significantly.

This was also led by Chen Xian and Deputy General Jia, who bravely killed the enemy. After a fierce battle, because of the disparity in strength between the two sides, there were more casualties among the Liang soldiers.

Xiao first said to Vice General Lin: "The number of enemy troops has increased significantly this time, and I hope Chen Xian and them can hold on." ”

Vice General Lin said, "Do you want to support them?" ”

Xiao first said: "Now is not the time, the number of enemy troops is only nearly half, if we increase our troops, the future battle will not be easy to fight." ”

While he was talking, the spies came to report, "Our soldiers are brave, and the enemy has retreated without taking advantage. ”

Xiao first listened to it and exclaimed: "This Chen Xian really lives up to his reputation, it is rare that Yue'er often praises him in letters." ”

Vice General Lin said: "General Chen is so brave, in fact, it is a blessing for our army. ”

Xiao Qi first said: "Let's go, go out and have a look." ”

With that, the two men got up and went out of the tent.

Seeing that Chen Xian and Adjutant General Jia were returning with the rest of the soldiers, Adjutant General Jia was stabbed in the back and was bleeding.

Xiao Qi hurriedly said, "Go and let the military doctor bandage it." ”

Then Chen Xian said: "The subordinates are incompetent, and our sergeants have suffered heavy losses. ”

Xiao Qi first hurriedly comforted: "There is a huge disparity between the strength of the enemy and us, in this case, the longer the time drags on, the less beneficial it will be for our side." You can fight quickly in such a short period of time, you are already a military wizard, what is the crime?!"

Chen Xian said, "General Xie." ”

After speaking, he asked Chen Xian to go back to the camp tent to rest.

Vice General Lin said: "General Chen is a young talent, and he can break the enemy quickly. ”

Xiao Qi first said: "General Chen is certainly brave, but when the two armies fight, there are more ordinary soldiers, not thousands of Chen Xian!"

Vice General Lin said: "What the general is worried about tomorrow's war? ”

Xiao first sighed and said, "If Zhu Rong has to fight us to the death, we may not be opponents. ”

Adjutant General Lin said: "General rest assured, our army is unanimous, not like the enemy's disheartenedness, and we will definitely be able to win tomorrow's battle." ”

Xiao first said: "I hope so." ”

In the Southern Liang Palace.

Xiao Mingyue was worried about the safety of Chen Xian, her father and others, and was staring at the lotus pond alone in a daze.

Leng Buding A person walked over, "Sister Yue" the person shouted.

Xiao Mingyue was shocked when she heard this, and said, "Who? "When I looked back, it was Xiao Huan.

Then he said, "Princess." ”

Xiao Wan pouted and said, "Sister just got distracted, she must be thinking about Brother Chen, right?" ”

Xiao Mingyue listened and said, "Princess, don't talk nonsense. ”

Xiao Wan said: "Who is that sister thinking? ”

Xiao Mingyue said: "I'm thinking about my parents and brothers in my hometown, they are all at the border, which is very dangerous. ”

Xiao Wan listened and said, "Then why don't they come here?" ”

Xiao Mingyue explained: "There is no way for them to enter the palace without His Majesty's will. ”

Xiao Wan was puzzled: "My sister's father has fought for Daliang for so many years, and my father is really good, and he won't let him take a holiday." ”

Xiao Mingyue smiled when she heard this: "Because the father of the courtier wants to defend the country, he can't leave a single step, otherwise the bad guys will come in." ”

Xiao Wan listened and said: Since this is the case, when the eldest brother becomes the emperor in the future, let your family return to the court. ”

Xiao Mingyue listened to it and couldn't help but sigh at the child's naïve thoughts.
