Chapter 968: Meritorious Service

When Mrs. Wan went to Xie's house the next day, intending to urge Wen to act openly and secretly, she heard Wen mention the little general of Kaipingwei.

Wen's mouth was full of admiring words: "It's really not easy! The war has been over for half a year, and the enemy country has suffered a great loss of vitality, and our border town defenders are generally in the moment of recuperation, but they are just cautious and cautious, beware of a small group of enemy troops invading the border people, and they are not ready to face the war again, where would they have thought that at this time, there will be elite soldiers of the enemy country sneaking into the border?! Thanks to this Yuan Xiaojun's vigilance and wit, he discovered the traces of the enemy army, and immediately reported it, and after discovering the enemy army, he took the lead and captured the leader of the enemy army! If it weren't for that, that team of elite soldiers would be quite numerous, and all of them would be brave, and it would not be so easy to surrender! General Yuan Xiao has really made a great contribution this time! ”

Mrs. Wan was also a little curious when she heard this: "How can there be enemy troops going south at this time?" Don't they all say that the vitality of the enemy country is greatly damaged, and it will not be able to become a climate in ten or eight years? Where is there any room for southward invasion? It was actually sent to death at this time, and it happened to crash into the hands of Kaipingwei's garrison? ”

Wen had heard his daughter Xie Mulin mention the general situation - Xie Mulin naturally heard it from his fiancΓ© Xiao Rui: "I heard that because the vitality of the enemy country was greatly damaged, because of the defeat in the war earlier, several generals were guilty and lost their power, some lost their lives, and some were dismissed from their homes. Naturally, they had to find someone else to take over the vacated positions, and in order to compete for these positions, the generals in their army were all arguing.

"Among them, there is a prince, who has always been very famous in the army, and now he is also the general king of the enemy army. The son of the great general, the king, wanted to occupy a very powerful official position, but others did not accept him, thinking that he could only get ahead by relying on his father, and it was not possible to let him lead the army. He was not convinced, so he wanted to make a merit so that he could convince everyone. The enemy country is already injured, where else can he go to earn credit? I had to start the idea of our border town. ”

Kaipingwei is relatively close to the enemy's border, although it is also one of the main battlefields of the previous war, but it is not the most valued location by the enemy, so the number of troops in our country is not very large, and it seems to be a soft persimmon that can be pinched. In addition, this little prince participated in the war earlier, and did not make any great contributions, but he memorized the road, and he had been active near Kaipingwei at that time, and he thought that he was familiar with the terrain and was very sure of success.

He didn't really plan to knock Kaipingwei down, anyway, he couldn't hold it, but planned, as long as he could hide the eyes of the Kaipingwei garrison, sneak into the territory of the Ming Kingdom, find a bigger village and town to loot, and then set a big fire to attract the garrison to help, and then take advantage of the emptiness of the guard to sneak attack Kaipingwei, kill a few more people, it is best to kill one or two Ming generals, cut off the head and return to China, then not only can you prove your bravery, but also use this small victory to raise its national prestige, Revive the hearts and minds of the military and civilians in the country who had been in decline since the defeat in the Great War.

The wishful thinking sounded, but he set off on a fast horse with the elite soldiers, and he knew the hind feet. That prince is a person who really knows the military, understands the importance of the overall situation, and knows that now is definitely not a good time to provoke the Ming Kingdom. When the emperor of the Ming Kingdom was furious and demanded that they be held accountable, he was beheaded by the royal family and sent to Jinling City to calm the anger of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom.

This prince only has this one son, how can he watch him die? In addition, this son has always been a talented person, if he really has the ability and holds great power as Lao Tzu, how can he not arrange a good position for his son? Naturally, he knew that he was incapable, so he would be idle. If you sit back and watch this son go to the death to provoke the Ming Kingdom to open the Pingwei, he will die if he fails, and he will die after he succeeds and comes back, the prince still can't sit still after all, he is old, and he still rides a fast horse, takes a few personal soldiers, and chases after him in a low-key manner, hoping to hide from everyone, chase his son back, and hide this matter from death.

It's a pity that his son ran too fast, and by the time he caught up with the people, his son had already entered Kaipingwei's territory, took a fancy to a border town, and was ready to plunder.

At this time, their whereabouts have been exposed, and it is impossible to hide them. Seeing this, the prince had no choice but to change his plan, no longer forcing his son back, but instead accepting the counterparty. Anyway, the looting operation can also bring back a large amount of wealth, which is a good supplement for the prince's personal army that has suffered heavy losses due to defeat. But he never expected that he and his son would fall into the trap of Kaipingwei. His son had just crossed the border, and he was discovered by General Yuan Xiao of Kaipingwei, who secretly followed them all the way, found out all their troops, combat readiness, and knew the route of their actions, and even found that the prince came to meet his son. Before the father and son could really set fire to the killing, General Yuan Xiao had already led people to surround them, and none of them were let go.

Wen happily told Mrs. Wan: "The identity of this prince is amazing! He was originally the highest-ranking royal nobleman in the main battle faction of the enemy country, and the other main battles were all killed or wounded, or lost their positions after the previous war, and he was the only one who still had the ambition to make a comeback. Besides, he is good at raising soldiers, so if he really asks him to train a strong army, after ten or eight years, our dynasty will still have trouble. Now that he has fallen into the hands of the border army, he heard that he was injured during the resistance, and asked General Yuan Xiao to quickly and secretly send him to Beiping, and he could not escape back. Without this great general king in the enemy country, not only will it lose face, but it will be even more difficult to train troops in the future! ”

Mrs. Wan's eyes lit up when she heard this. Although she has been following her husband's family to take the civil official route after marrying into the Pingchang Marquis Mansion, she herself is actually from Jiangmen, and her father and brother are generals stationed in the northwest.

She can also analyze two sentences: "The enemy army is now leaderless, right?" The people below can fight in a mess in order to fight for a few official positions, and now they are more and more chaotic into countless groups! They can't get a result in a day, so what else do they want to train and strengthen the army? Only waiting for the sake of the country! ”

Wen smiled and changed the topic: "This Yuan Xiao General has made such a great achievement, and after reporting to the imperial court, there will definitely be a reward!" ”
