The big battle on the frontier is imminent, and at this moment, the tea master and his two children have gone to the east under the escort of thousands of soldiers, but there is a situation that is difficult to control, His Majesty has announced in the court that Shen Leng and his family will rush to the east to train the new army of the sailors and prepare for the expedition to the Sang country, but Shen Leng is now going to fight in the west of Xinjiang.

On the day that Shen Leng's soldiers besieged Tongyangtai City, His Majesty also received Shen Leng's handwritten letter in Chang'an City.

"Your Majesty, what can I do about this?"

Cabinet scholar Lai Cheng looked worried: "Shen Leng doesn't know His Majesty's arrangement, he may have met with the general in Kyushu in Western Xinjiang, and many people already know about his affairs in Western Xinjiang, but he should be halfway to Eastern Xinjiang." ”

The emperor was also worried.

He paced slowly in the room: "Did Shen Leng's pro-barracks general Chen Ran rush over?" ”

"Yes, I was originally going to escort Her Royal Highness Princess Yan to the Eastern Frontier, but Princess Yan was not at ease with Shen Leng, so she forced Chen Ran to rush to the Western Xinjiang with a group of personal soldiers, and they were returning halfway, so it should not be far from Chang'an."

"Send someone to catch up, tell Shen Leng, cover your face and fight."

"Face covering?"

Lai Cheng: "If you cover your face, in the first battle of Western Xinjiang, Shen Leng has great achievements but can't lead it, and he can't say that he has a record of achievements, it's really ......"

"In terms of time, even if I order him to go to the West immediately, he should not be there until at least four months."

The emperor said: "He has already shown his face in the western frontier, but fortunately, the soldiers from all walks of life mobilized by me have not yet arrived, and the march of the army is slower than that of the fast horse, and it is still too late to send people. ”

The emperor also felt helpless, he had already made a holy decree, if it was known that Shen Leng had quietly arrived in the western frontier, how could he, the emperor, explain?

The emperor sighed: "As for military merits...... Talking about Kyushu is about to retreat. ”

Lai Cheng immediately understood what the emperor meant.

"It's just that I wronged Shen Leng again."

"My ......"

The emperor's words almost blurted out, and he finally endured it.

My son, if you are wronged, you will be wronged.

But the emperor didn't think so, why should I let my son be wronged? He just hadn't thought of a sleek enough way, the war in the western frontier came too suddenly, how could the emperor transfer Shen Leng, who had already rushed to the eastern frontier, to the west under normal circumstances? There are guards in the west, heavy armor, and the Tang family in the northwest, and Daning is not unavailable.

If the emperor makes a gesture, I just want Shen Leng to go to the Western Regions to fight, what do all the generals in the western half of Daning think? The generals don't think much, what do the generals' subordinates think?

They will think that His Majesty thinks they can't do it, so the battle in the west will also be fought by people from the east.

He is the emperor, he can be a little willful, but he can't be willful in the big right and wrong.

"Why don't you take advantage of the fact that the armies of all walks of life in Western Xinjiang have not yet gathered, and Your Majesty will transfer Shen Leng back to Eastern Xinjiang?"

Lai Cheng was embarrassed to say what he wanted to say, since Shen Leng had to fight with his face covered in the war in Western Xinjiang, and he had to face unimaginable dangers without merit or hard work, why did he leave Shen Leng there? He didn't know what His Majesty thought, and he couldn't think of any other good way at this moment, His Majesty became more and more superstitious that as long as Shen Leng was on the battlefield, he would definitely win, which was not good.

"Do you have anything to say?"

The emperor glanced at Lai Cheng: "As a scholar, didn't you forget that you were a speech official?" ”

Lai Cheng was silent for a moment, then knelt on the ground with his robe: "Your Majesty, General Shen's pursuit of Xiao Zhang Zhenren has made an exception, he is the general of the country, his duty is to fight this battle in the Eastern Xinjiang Water Division, and all the guards in the Western Xinjiang can fight this battle, and the general does not need Shen Leng to cover his face and fight to give him military merits, that is not the glory of the general, it is to talk about Kyushu retreating."

The shame of the past, once this matter is spread, the general's talk about Kyushu will become a joke, and His Majesty will also become a joke. ”

"Daning, it's not that you can't fight without Shen Leng, it's not that you can't win without Shen Leng, if Your Majesty urgently recalls Shen Leng at this time, you can come back in the future, if you don't recall it at this time, where will Your Majesty put the face of Kyushu, where will the majesty of the country, the majesty of the holy decree, and the majesty of Your Majesty be placed?"

The emperor was stunned.

Lai Cheng knelt there but did not bow his head, looked into the emperor's eyes and said: "Your Majesty thinks that Shen Leng is a lucky general, and he can play Kai everywhere he goes, but Your Majesty, Daning has a million soldiers and a thousand generals, they can also fight well, and they are also loyal and patriotic, and the minister has never thought that Shen Leng is a lucky general, and Shen Leng can win every battle because of his ability rather than luck." ”

The emperor opened his mouth, and suddenly something came to his senses.

I don't know when I started to care so much about Shen Leng, no matter what I do, I hope he can get the honor, all he was thinking about just now was how to get Shen Leng's affairs back in Western Xinjiang, how to make Shen Leng continue to receive honor in Western Xinjiang justifiably, and unconsciously he was thinking about any question about Shen Leng as a father, not the king of a country.

"I ......"

The emperor wanted to say something, but he was speechless.

Lai Cheng has scolded him more than once, and even pointed at his nose in front of the Manchu Dynasty and scolded him for being unconscious, but it was all a show, it was all a play, and the bachelor kneeling in front of him at this moment was not making a play.

"I see."

The emperor sat down on the chair, and after a pause, he said: "I will send a message to Kyushu in a news box, so that he can inform Shen Leng to return to Dongjiang immediately, and there is no need to return to Chang'an." ”

Lai Cheng kowtowed: "The minister will do it immediately." ”

The emperor looked out the window: "Maybe...... It's too late. ”

At the same time, Western Xinjiang.

Shen Leng sat on horseback and looked at Tongyangtai City, the stone-throwing cart behind him had been set up and could attack the city at any time, but Yue Wangsong and the others, who were waiting for the order, suddenly found Shen Leng sitting there stunned, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

"Negligent."

Shen Leng suddenly raised his hand and patted it on the door of his head.

"General, what's wrong?"

Yue Wangsong hurriedly asked.

"I'm not supposed to be here."

Shen Leng raised his hand and touched the cold sweat that instantly appeared on his forehead, he was greedy for merit, greedy for war, greedy for victory, because he was too proud, too presumptuous, he actually forgot that he should not appear in the western frontier, at this moment he was already in front of tens of thousands of troops, and he had already reported his name to the enemy, so where would he put His Majesty?

Since when did you start to be so presumptuous?

In an instant, Shen Leng not only sweated on his forehead, but his back was also wet with sweat.

He looked at Yue Wangsong: "The soldiers all know that I am here?" ”

"The Forces nouvelles know it."

Yue Wangsong said: "The general has ordered before that all the new troops will be under your control. ”

Shen Leng's mind was buzzing, thinking about how to get this matter back, first of all, he had to consider how His Majesty would help him, if nothing else, His Majesty should have claimed that Shen Leng had gone to Eastern Xinjiang, but he was so disgraced in Western Xinjiang......

"I'm not Shen Leng."

Shen Leng lowered his head and tore a piece of clothing to cover his face: "Tell the soldiers that my affairs in Western Xinjiang must not continue to spread." ”

"But the General."

Yue Wangsong looked puzzled: "Not only the new army, but also the heavy armor of the Western Xinjiang, including the people inside and outside the city, know that you are here, if the general says that you are not a general at this time, how to explain to the soldiers, how to explain to the people?" ”

Shen Leng really couldn't think of a way.

"Attack the city first."

Shen Leng covered his face: "After this battle, I."

Consult with the general again. ”

Meanwhile, La Liga City.

Standing on the city wall with clairvoyance looking at the bright place of torches in the distance, after waiting for a while and not seeing the siege, he frowned slightly, thinking about why Shen Leng didn't attack yet?

At this moment, his subordinates suddenly spoke.

"In this battle, don't you want An Guogong to fight again?"

Talking about Kyushu's face changed: "What's wrong with An Guogong!" Thou shalt not talk nonsense. ”

His subordinates said: "After the battle of the Northern Expedition, His Majesty has already said that An Guogong will go to Dongjiang to train the new army of the Sailors, but he came here, even though this battle came suddenly, but he came ...... this time."

Before the words of his subordinates were finished, Tan Kyushu suddenly came to his senses.

"Oops."

Tan Jiuzhou's eyes flickered: "It was my negligence, and Shen Leng was also negligent." ”

He stretched out his hand: "Take my armor lance." ”

He hasn't panicked about leading the troops in Kyushu for so many years, but what he thought of in an instant made him have to panic, Shen Leng shouldn't be here, why didn't he think about it at all? When the national teacher arrived here, it was unreasonable for Shen Leng to chase after him in person with the respect of a general, Shen Leng also said that he was temporarily chased out and did not have His Majesty's will, this matter can be big or small, once it is big, it can't be controlled.

"You've got to figure out a way."

At this time, the firelight on the side of Tongyangtai City was a little chaotic, and the shouts of the besieging soldiers were vaguely heard from such a distance.

There is a county town of Weinan less than a hundred miles away from Xijia City, Weinan is a very important place in Western Xinjiang, although it is only a county seat, it is known as the largest distribution place of medicinal materials in the northwest, and the medicinal materials rich in the northwest will be concentrated here, the pharmacists from all over Daning will come from all directions, many medicinal materials are unique to the northwest, and the most famous herb in Weinan is a herb called blood insect leaves, which can not be planted in other places except Weinan County.

In a medical center in Weinan County, he looked at Zhou Dongwu with black eyes: "It's almost the same if you change the medicine again, if you listen to me, why don't you wait until now, let's go directly to the next county town to find a medical center to treat you after separating from Shen Leng, but you ran away......"

Zhou Dongwu said: "The doctor is benevolent, I don't believe in that medical hall, aren't we going to find the Shen family medical hall, we must have credit, and if we go to the Shen family medical hall, we will go to the Shen family medical hall." ”

Black eyes said: "You panicked when you left the medical hall, something must have gone wrong." ”

Zhou Dongwu said: "Also...... There is no big problem, when it is time to stitch up the wound, the assistant of Lang Zhong comforted him, saying that it doesn't matter, it's just that the wound is stitched, don't be nervous, it's not a big deal, if you don't sew it once, you can sew it twice. ”

Blackeye: "He's comforting, stitching is nothing for people like us." ”

Zhou Dongwu sighed: "He comforted that Lang Zhong." ”

Black-eyed: "......"

Lying in the medical hall, Zhou Dongwu looked out: "Why hasn't anyone come yet?" ”

At this time, Lang Zhong, who was seeing a doctor, came in, with an embarrassed face: "There are not many people in the city who are still sitting in the clinic now, after getting the news, ninety percent of Lang Zhong rushed to La Liga City with injury medicine, and I will also go, but I can't leave no one behind, so I'm too busy." ”

He unbuttoned Zhou Dongwu's clothes and looked at it: "The wound is recovering well, such a big knife wound ......"

"Good guys!"

Black Eyes and Zhou Dongwu immediately said: "We are all good people, we are going to participate in the battle in La Jia City, and halfway through we met Houque spy who infiltrated Daning, fought a fight, and was injured." ”

Lang Zhong helped Zhou Dongwu change the medicine, and when he got to the door, he instructed the apprentice: "Go to the official mansion, and say that we have knife wounds, and the origin is unknown." ”

As soon as Black Eye and Zhou Dongwu were about to leave, a few catchers outside the door strode in and took a look: "Stop!" ”
