Jiang Jianing raised her head in surprise, this seemed to be the first time in her life that she had heard Murong Zihua speak of a woman in such an affectionate tone, although it was just a few words, it was full of infinite tenderness. Thinking of Her Royal Highness the princess in the Baiyun Mountain Pharmacy General Administration, who was dressed in no fancy clothes, was not outstanding in appearance or demeanor, and even deliberately mentioned Yingtang to her, she frowned and said: "Although she is the nominal princess of Her Royal Highness, she is in name only, and Her Royal Highness is not for the Jinsha River-"

Murong Zihua smiled slightly, "Not really." She sent a letter asking me to help her contain the Xiguan army and prevent the Xiguan army from returning to the western border of the Li Dynasty, and I guess she must have wanted to use the tens of thousands of horses in nine cities and one river to deal with the Hu people, so as to seek something from Emperor Li. This Emperor of the Li Dynasty is extremely thoughtful, and what she asks for is only afraid that it will not be so easy to achieve...... Let's let someone secretly protect her first. She and I still have a lot of unfinished business. ”

"Yes. ”

At this moment, Yao Jin in Caiyun City has not yet received a reply from Murong Zihua, but the news that Heiyun Capital has withdrawn from Wei has already been received in the capital. Emperor Li was naturally overjoyed, and immediately named Mo Dongling, who was still commanding the battle in Wulian, as "the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses", and ordered him to sweep away the remnants of the Beiping army as soon as possible, and be sure to capture Li Rao, the king of Xishan, back to Beijing alive; at the same time, the concubines in the palace were obedient and obedient in serving His Majesty, and they were promoted to the concubine position for just half a year last year, and they were named second-grade virtuous concubines.

Concubine Rong's true identity, the emperor and Mo Dongling both knew it, and the appointment of her as a virtuous concubine was also to make Mo Dongling, who had many sons but was the only one under his knees, more desperately loyal to the emperor. However, the daughter of Yuan Youzhang, the former general of the Xiguan Army, was also a virtuous concubine, and after she hanged herself for her father's rebellion, even the queen did not dare to mention the word "virtuous concubine", so the position of virtuous concubine was also vacant for many years. Now the emperor has given the position of virtuous concubine to Wei Nanyan, Mo Dongling's very beloved illegitimate daughter, but this move has to make Mo Dongling's heart three points happy, seven points of remark, and even the glorious title of "Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses" made him a little uncomfortable.

"General, oh no, marshal," Mo Dongling's lieutenant approached the camp, "the Thai army has arrived in Hengzhou, and has come to report that most of the lost territory has been recovered, except for some deserters in the east. ”

"Most of the rebels' eastern army were Wei people, and they were also murderous, and although the city they passed through did not mourn all over the field, it was also bleak. On the way back to the territory, the Thai army must not take too much food and goods in the cities, from the generals to the soldiers, they are not allowed to receive or ask for food and goods from the county guards or the homes of the common people, and go back as soon as possible to calm the people's hearts. ”

"Yes, my subordinates will send the message. ”

"Also, there is no news from the people sent to track down the King of the West Mountain?"

"No news yet. ”

Mo Dongling pondered for a moment, "The Wei army has withdrawn in a big way, and the remaining Beiping rebels have all been dispersed, and there is only a limit left. And most of the soldiers only obeyed the military orders, and no one was his dead soldiers. In the last battle outside Wulian City, Dai Jinshan died, and the king of Xishan was nowhere to be found, and the trees were scattered, and there would not be many people willing to follow him anymore, and their eastern and southern armies were all Wei people, so he definitely would not run in these two directions. ”

"But our 10,000 horses have already rushed to Beiping Mountain, and if the King of Xishan is also facing north, he is not afraid of colliding with us?"

"Beiping is his base, and he has no second choice but to face north. Mo Dongling glanced at the bare ground outside, "All the sentry posts along the road are strictly checked, the closer you get to Beiping Mountain, the more careful you must be, and you must not let him run to Wei Realm." The King of Xishan was originally a capital crime, but His Majesty must personally interrogate him. Commanded, not a fly can be mistaken. ”

"Yes!"

After this battle, although my Mo family has made great contributions to quelling the rebellion, the originally balanced military relationship in the emperor's heart has also been broken. In the eyes of others, the Mo family has a queen, a generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and the fire is full of flowers, who knows, the steps under this gorgeousness are difficult, and the abyss is ...... Who knows, I have always just wanted to stay in the West for the rest of my life. Mo Dongling sighed silently, his face showed a rare look of loss, but he disappeared in an instant, he was the only male in the Mo family's generation, the hope of the entire family, and the biggest supporter of his sibling sister who was the queen. He can't be wrong, can't fall, can't retreat, not only want to magnify the lintel of the Mo family, but also seek a stable and unsharp position in the complicated court situation and the unpredictable emperor's heart. For so many years, he has stayed in the west, holding heavy troops but being so cautious, not only has he never had any contact with the queen in Beijing, but he also sent a pair of children who he fostered in the Wei family into the palace and sent them to the emperor's nose -

"Even so, Your Majesty still gave a virtuous concubine to Nanyan, I'm afraid, it's to warn my Mo family!" Mo Dongling muttered, slowly walked out of the tent, looking at a bare land, the sun was so strong and poisonous that people couldn't open their eyes. Wulian is an unlucky small city, the climate is a combination of north and south shortcomings, hot and humid, cold and cold. This is not like the western border where he is stationed all the year round, a large grassland, the water and grass are fertile, and it is never so hot that people feel out of breath, and the wind is not as weak as blowing here, the wind in the west is blowing, it is always crisp and neat, and it will never drag mud and water, even the Hu people secretly invade from time to time, and it is mostly a battle and two clear, and the wounded will be injured, and the dead will die, and there will definitely be no deserters.

Thinking of this, Mo Dongling couldn't help but be a little strange, the counterinsurgency against the Beiping rebels had reached the final stage, and he, the commander, could have returned to Beijing to resume his life, and the Hu invasion had now hit Ruhua, and the prince had no chance of winning under the hard battle, but the emperor didn't say a word about letting him send troops to the west to support the prince, and even told him to clear the remnants of Beiping and not to come back in a hurry.

Mo Dongling couldn't figure it out, but Yao Jin didn't think of this layer at all. Thinking that after the withdrawal of the Wei army, the emperor would immediately let the Xiguan army return to aid Ruhua, and she was impatient since she received Murong Zihua's reply, and began to look forward to the latest news from the north every day, or in other words, as long as there was no news of the Xiguan army's return, it would be the best news for her.

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, Fu Jiang has completed the reorganization of men and horses, and now the whole army is stationed in the west of the Jinsha River, with a total of 30,000 people, and the grain and grass are ready. As long as His Majesty gives an order, he can go north at any time and quell the rebellion against that little Hu clan!" Zhao Sheng waved his fist passionately in front of Yao Jin and said, "This time, thanks to Her Royal Highness the Princess's clever plan in advance, we can serve Your Majesty with the princess, and I hope that when the princess returns to Beijing to face the saint this time, she will say a few words for my brother Zhao Yu, who has been the county guard of Huizhou for many years, but has never been promoted......"

"I treat you two brothers differently than others. Otherwise, how could you live in your other courtyard, and the girl next to you is from your brother's family?" Yao Jin took a sip of the teacup and glanced at Zhao Sheng, "Who will lead the 30,000 horses this time, can you discuss it?"
