Chapter 2: Li Duanjiang
There is a garrison general in Shuodong County, which may not be a big deal in the Zongguo, and there are not 10,000 but 8,000 garrison generals in the middle of the Tianyang Sect. However, the garrison generals of Shuodong County are different from other garrison generals. First of all, this garrison general was once a great disciple of the inner sect of the Tianyang Sect. You must know that the inner disciples of the Tianyang Sect represent not only strength, but also many things, such as the inner disciples can enter the elder group after passing the assessment, and the elders in the elder group can stay in the capital division, and maybe become an elder Cheng above 10,000 people under one person (Elder Cheng is the head of the elders of the Tianyang Sect, which is equivalent to the prime minister. If you don't want to stay in the capital, you can also choose to go out and become a county guard elder or garrison general.
Twenty-five years ago, there were barbarians in the extreme north who suddenly invaded when the Tianyang Sect Sect Master was passing on the throne, and the barbarians came prepared this time. The barbarians unstoppably destroyed the northern defense line of the Tianyang Sect, and the 500,000-strong army collapsed in an instant. The sect was shocked when they heard this, and hundreds of thousands of troops could not resist the invasion of the barbarians. At this moment, Li Duanjiang, the great disciple of the inner gate at that time, invited himself to go to quell the chaos.
When he left the capital, he only led 30,000 people, and many people were not optimistic about him at that time.
Arrogant to the extreme, not the sky is high..................
All kinds of cynicism and ridicule are endless, but Li Duanjiang did not refute it, but just spoke with facts.
Li Duanjiang gathered the defeated army with great fanfare along the way, and when he reached the front line, he actually gathered 200,000 troops. Yu Shuodong County (Shuodong County is located in the northernmost part of Tianyang Sect, which is part of the northern defense line of Tianyang Sect, and is the key to the northern defense line) raided the 120,000 troops left behind by the barbarians, annihilated them all, and recovered Shuodong.
The barbarian army was shocked and hurriedly led the main force back to help (at that time the main force of the barbarians was attacking to the east). Not wanting to be ambushed by Li Duanjiang, the barbarians suffered heavy losses, leaving hundreds of thousands of corpses and fleeing in panic. Li Duanjiang followed the pursuit and killed tens of thousands of people.
The barbarians panicked and fled all the way north and did not dare to turn back. This time, the barbarians led an army of 800,000 to invade the south, but only about 200,000 returned, and the elite was lost. Since then, the barbarians have not dared to look south for twenty-five years.
The merit is not insignificant, it stands to reason that no matter how much he relies on this merit, he will not become a small garrison general, but the merit is no higher than that of the town lord, and he has made such a merit at a young age, so do you still want to be the suzerain in the future? At this time, the new suzerain has just succeeded to the throne, and it stands to reason that he should be rewarded. However, Elder Cheng thought that the Lord and the Young Country were suspicious, lest Li Duanjiang take the opportunity to rebel, and some people were unbalanced in their hearts, for the sake of this great country, so Li Duanjiang became the general of Shuodong County, and there was no reward. It's just that he led the army to garrison Shuodong to prevent being barbarians, fortunately, although the barbarians were greatly injured at this time, their heritage was not damaged too much, and they still had the power to invade the south, and no one in the sect at this time dared to take over the position of this garrison general, and no one had this ability.
Shuodong must be defended, otherwise the Zongguo is in danger, and Li Duanjiang does have the ability to command this 200,000 army. Therefore, the 200,000 army was not transferred or disbanded, after all, the 200,000 people on the long northern defense line were indeed not enough, but only the 200,000 army was given to Li Duanjiang, so that Li Duanjiang fell into a situation of entanglement with the barbarians, thus dragging Li Duanjiang's other thoughts, so Li Duanjiang still has the ruling power over the 200,000 army.
In the past twenty-five years, Li Duanjiang has fought countless battles with the barbarians, large and small, almost every two years. Therefore, the Li Jiajun is the most powerful army in the world.
In the past twenty-five years, Li Duanjiang has four sons, the eldest son Li Donglai, the second son Li Xiwen, the third son Li Nangui, and the fourth son Li Bei. The previous fourth son was this Li Beixiang.
"Dad, I'm back!" Li Beixiang shouted as he stood in front of the garrison general's mansion. "Lao Chai, you go and get me something to eat first, this day, I starved to death. ”
"Huh," Lao Chai replied.
"Childe is good. "When many maids saw that their fourth son was back, they just said goodbye.
"Fourth, why did you go? You haven't been on the right track for a day, and you don't look at the time of day? Li Duanjiang rebuked angrily.
A middle-aged man stood in the main hall and pointed at Li Beixiang and scolded angrily. I saw that this man was about forty or fifty years old, eight feet tall, with resolute eyes and cold eyes. Dressed in a black practice uniform, the beard on his chin is curled.
"Dad, didn't I come back? You are old and discouraged, and it is not good for your body to be angry. Li Beixiang hurriedly went over and helped Li Duanjiang to sit down.
"Well, I heard that you went to Wangchun Tower again?" Li Duanjiang sat on the Taishi chair in the main hall, picked up a cup of tea, and asked without a trace.
"Huh? No. Li Beixiang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and he didn't know how to answer.
"Huh! You don't listen to you when you tell you to go less to that kind of place. Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk about you. Let's go. I'm going to cultivate. "Li Duanjiang began to drive people away.
"Oh, well!"
"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided. Could it be that Zongguo has such a degree of scruple about me?" Li Duanjiang muttered to himself as he looked at Li Beixiang's back.
"General, it has been ascertained that Miss Liu is from Jingshi. A guard with a knife suddenly appeared in front of Li Duanjiang.
"Well, sure enough. Li Duanjiang sighed. "For more than 20 years, the spies sent to Shuodong have not stopped. Are you so afraid of me?" Li Duanjiang's eyes flashed and he muttered to himself.
"General, when did the sect regard you as a hero? Twenty-five years ago, when he defeated the barbarian army of hundreds of thousands, the result was a small garrison general. Isn't this a big joke?" said the guard, kneeling down on one knee, and said emotionally.
"Say no more, I've got my own considerations. Li Duanjiang interrupted the man in black.
"General!" shouted the guard.
"Stand down. Li Duanjiang shouted angrily.
"Yes. The guard reluctantly obeyed, and then disappeared into the main hall.
