Chapter 151: Soldiers' Secret Beards
On this day, I was taking a class at the women's college when I suddenly received an edict ordering me to go to the Hou Mansion as soon as possible.
I wondered in my heart, this kind of thing has never been my share, why did you suddenly think of me today. I immediately put on a more formal outfit on top of my bodysuit, flew over Weishui, and landed in front of the Hou Mansion.
When I entered the council hall, it was already full. Uncle Yu was talking. "There has been a long-standing feud between Misu and the Nguyen Communists. In his early years, the elder brother also mediated many times to keep him safe. Besides, it is not appropriate for Mi to marry with my Zhou Yuan generation and rashly resort to force. β
"Father," Ji Xian continued, "Father Jun, Father Jun, and Chonghou are called the Three Sages of the West. Although the Son of Heaven regards his father as his uncle, under the management of Mi Su Jun for decades, his prestige may be no less than that of his father. Although his father was in charge of Bai and Huang Yue, he had to make a special expedition, but he had no major mistakes in his internal and foreign affairs. The conquest of it seems morally untenable. β
Ji Chang frowned slightly and looked at the other heirs.
"Father," Ji Zheng said, "Misu invades the Ruan Communists, which is a rebellious act. What else is needed? And its 100,000 troops are stationed on our border, how can they not be guarded? β
"Jun Zheng," Ji Xian arched his hand, "It is precisely because the Misu army is stationed on our border and has to be guarded that we must be careful and not start a war lightly." The younger brother heard that the generals under Mi Xujun, Zhang Guifang, Feng Lin, etc., are all strangers who are proficient in witchcraft, with unique skills, and bravely crown the three armies. A rash crusade is afraid that the teacher will be disadvantaged. β
Ji Chang frowned, and turned his head to look at the ministers present.
"Prince," Jiang Shang arched his hand, "The kings of the ancient sage were not obedient, and it was not easy to cut down dangers. Such as the secret beard, Chonghou and the like, repeatedly disobeyed my Great Zhou, and they should be killed. Although the secret beard is dangerous, I am not without one. If you tolerate adultery, I will be in danger of doing the other. β
Ji Chang's gaze turned to Ji Fa in front of him again.
Ji Fa glanced at Ji Dan next to him, and then said loudly: "What Master Shang said is extremely true. Although Mi Sujun is powerful, in recent years, he has invaded the Ruan Communist Party and used troops everywhere, and the people complained. If not now, when? The sons are willing to lead the troops to take command, go to the army in person, and expand the territory for their father. β
Ji Chang finally showed a smile on his face. I saw his gaze turn to me. "Nezha my son, you are my leading general in the Great Zhou. Naturally, you are not just an audience. What about your opinion? β
"Hit!" I immediately replied, "The child has been resting for two months since he returned from the Western Expedition. Practicing spells every day, enlightenment is useless. The wind forest boy had been in the Chaoge Club three years ago, and I didn't see him have any great skills at that time. I was thinking of meeting him again. If the elder brother is in charge, the younger sister should do the work of dogs and horses. β
"Good!" Ji Chang raised his eyebrows, "This matter has already been decided. This expedition, Ben Hou should look at it personally. With Nangong Shi as the left general, Lu Ding as the right general, and Taigong Wang in the center to command the three armies. Choose an auspicious day to set out. β
"The prince sent the prince to supervise the country, and the sons Ji Xian, Ji Dan, Ji Zheng, Ji Du, and Ji Gao Zuozhi were prepared to worship the country. Gongzi Ji Zhenduo, Ji Wu, Ji Chu, Ji Feng, Ji Qian, Ji Ming, Ji Sheng, Princess Nezha went out with the army and waited for Master Shang's dispatch. β
Walking out of the council chamber, I felt light under my feet. I've just witnessed the decision of a historical event.
The first thing I did when I came out of the Hou Mansion was to put a red coat on top of my two lotus leaf suits to match the color of the Zhou army's uniform.
In the next two days, I handed over the affairs of the academy to Yuluo, and then reported to Jiang Shang's military camp.
On the third day, Jiang Shang, Nangong Shi and Lu Ding led 50,000 troops, 300 chariots, and 2,000 cavalry from the Xiqi military camp, and marched north. Xibo Jichang's chariot also set off from the Hou Mansion at the same time.
Wu Ji, Long Xuhu, Fang Bi, Fang Xiang, Ji Zhenduo, and Ji Feng, the sixth son, all followed the Chinese army, the seventh prince Ji Wu, the clan Ji Ming, and Ji Sheng followed the right army, and the eighth prince Ji Chu and the sect Ji Qian followed the left army.
"Uncle Shi, what about me?" I asked.
Jiang Shang smiled, "Princess Jin Zhi Yuye, how can she go to the battlefield lightly?" β
"What golden branches?" I immediately retorted, "Didn't I come to be your thug?" β
"You have more important tasks." Jiang Shang said, "The most important task of Xibo's personal expedition is naturally to protect Xibo. This task is up to you! β
I pouted, "Let me be a spectator!" β
Jiang Shang patted me on the shoulder, "You are our secret weapon, how can you show it easily?" This time, General Nangong's left army took the lead, and Gongziqian asked for the order to serve as the vanguard officer. β
"Childe?" I asked, "Okay?" β
"Why not?" Jiang Shang smiled, "This son is not very old, but he is arrogant. Among the clans, even Gongzi had to give him three points. On this expedition, Xibo appointed him as a pioneer, so as to hone and hone his sharpness. β
I thought to myself, I'm not afraid of honing this son to death. But the words did not dare to come out.
So I was ordered to report directly to Ji Chang. Ji Chang immediately ordered me to ride with him. I also saw a few familiar faces, including Jiang Shang's eldest son, seventeen-year-old Jiang Ling, and Ji Dan's eldest son, fifteen-year-old Bo Yu, as well as Nangong Shi's son, Fei Yan's son, etc., all of whom were in the ranks of the guards.
Ji Chang looked down and saw a pair of bare legs exposed under my red coat, and said, "Nezha, the harsh winter is coming, you have a leg disease, why don't you wear more clothes?" β
I smiled, "Father, you know, the child's leg is not due to the cold. β
"Nezha," Ji Chang said, "do you think it's overkill to let you serve as your father?" β
"The child doesn't dare. To be able to ride with the father, it is too late for the child to be happy! "Originally! It's just a public expense, so why not?
The Zhou Kingdom and Misu live next to each other, close at hand. Within one day, the army crossed Qishan, and the next day it had already reached the territory of Misu. At this time, Nangong Shih's left army had already entered the state of Ruan, and LΓΌ Ding's right army had also entered the communist country.
The Misu army stationed in the Communists fled from the Communists with little resistance, and LΓΌdin won a resounding victory. On the border between Nguyen and Misu, Nangong Shi encountered a strong enemy, the 50,000 troops of Marshal Zhang Guifang and Deputy General Fenglin of the Misu Army.
That night we set up camp on a hill in Misu. As usual, a small tent was set up for me next to Siber's tent.
Dozens of miles ahead is the battlefield. After dinner, we enjoyed the moon in the open space outside the tent. Ji Chang sat in the middle, and the aristocratic little guards sat around, listening to Ji Chang tell the story of his expedition to the east and west when he was young.
Although I repeatedly stated that I was not cold, Ji Chang still handed me a piece of leather felt that I carried with me and asked me to spread it on my lap.
"Sister Princess," Jiang Ling said, "you better cover it!" I know my sister is not cold, but others look cold. β
Early the next morning, we continued to board the car. The battle reports from the front kept coming. Obviously, Nangong Shi and the pioneer officials Ji Qian and Ji Ji were in trouble.
Soon, the bad news came, and the pioneer officer Ji Qian was plotted by the wind forest with red beads in the battle with the wind forest, and was beheaded under the horse.
When Ji Chang heard this, he immediately fell into the car. I hurriedly helped by the side.
Ji Chang then asked, "How is that place?" β
ββββ
Note: The section on Ji Xian's opposition to sending troops is contained in the "Zizhi Tongjian Outer Discipline". It is probably the only document that records Ji Xian's deeds. But I'm more skeptical of its authenticity. Among them, Jiang Shang's statement that "the reverse is not smooth, and the danger is not easy" is obviously from the "Pipe" four hundred years later
Ji Qian, Ji Ming, and Ji Sheng are all fictional characters in "Romance of the Gods" and one of Ji Chang's hundred sons. It's all cannon fodder anyway. Here they are all changed to clans.
