Chapter 202: Expediency

Due to the sudden battle report, this Chinese New Year's Eve is destined to not be able to survive smoothly.

General Zhang and Zhang Yunzong immediately got up and prepared to convene all the generals in the army to discuss the extermination of the rebels.

Although Wen Rongan did not have an official position, General Zhang also wanted to take him with him as a guard.

Yan Ran was also caught off guard by this news, because the time of King Yongning's rebellion in this life was much earlier than in his previous life.

She subconsciously stopped General Zhang and said, "Uncle, you must not disperse your forces to exterminate the rebels!" ”

General Zhang asked, "Oh, why?" ”

Yan Ran didn't think about how to answer for a while, it can't be said to be a lesson from the previous life.

At this time, Wen Rongan continued: "The king of Yongning has raised an army and has connected three cities, and the news has just reached Beining, and it must soon reach Mobei." Hearing that there was a lot of civil strife, it was difficult for the tribes in Mobei to guarantee that they would not take the opportunity to raise troops. If Bac Ninh had dispatched troops to the south to intercept the rebels at this time, how would he deal with Mobei's invasion in the future? ”

Yan Ran looked at Wen Rong'an approvingly, she had the memory of her previous life to know that Mobei would take advantage of the domestic strife to attack, but Wen Rong'an could think of this just by judging the current situation, which was really far-sighted.

Zhang Yunzong hesitated: "But the big and small Yue countries have always been at odds, and their own internal contradictions have not been resolved. ”

Wen Rong'an shook his head and calmly analyzed: "The various tribes in Mobei were originally independent, but they were able to form an alliance, merge with each other, and submit to the same monarch, so we can get a glimpse of the eloquence of the monarch of the Great Yue Kingdom. Moreover, I had the privilege of meeting Prince Amuas of the Kingdom of Da Yue when he came to Shengguo to sue for peace. This person is quite strategic and good at attacking people's hearts, and he is the best of the younger generation, even more so than the current prince. And when the big Yue country is in turmoil, it can put down its body and ask for peace with the Sheng country, judge the situation, and be able to bend and stretch, and its ambition must not be underestimated. ”

General Zhang pondered for a long time, his face was slightly solemn: "What Jin Yan said is reasonable, but the Holy Lord has already made a will, if you refuse to send troops, I am afraid that you will be charged with disobeying the order." ”

As soon as General Zhang's words came out, everyone fell silent.

In the previous life, it was because the Beining Army dispersed part of its forces to exterminate the rebels that it was almost defeated when Mobei suddenly attacked.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers fought bloodily and piled up with white bones to keep Bac Ninh City with great difficulty.

However, Emperor Sheng's order to send the Bac Ninh army to exterminate the rebels made no sense at all.

Because of the long distance between the north and the south, and the difficulty of traveling in winter snow, the speed of the army was greatly reduced.

By the time the Bac Ninh army arrived at the battlefield where it was fighting the rebels, the rebels had already been defeated by the local army.

Yan Ran really didn't understand why Emperor Sheng did not hesitate to use the military force to defend the border to defend against foreign enemies in order to suppress a small rebel army.

After a long time, Wen Rong'an said slowly: "There is no need to resist the order, the team of 200,000 people is on the march, the road is far away, and the snow is difficult to travel, and it is normal to delay for some time." ”

Wen Rong'an meant to let General Zhang delay for a few days.

Since the Great Viet Kingdom has ambitions, it must have taken action immediately after learning the news of Sheng's civil strife, in order to catch the Bac Ninh army by surprise and quickly take Bac Ninh City.

Therefore, General Zhang only needs to delay the departure for a few days, and if the Da Yue Kingdom really attacks, then the border war will start, and the Beining army will have a legitimate reason not to waste manpower and material resources, and the long journey is meaningless.

Zhang Yunzong sighed and said, "However, even if we think of this and do not hesitate to defy the holy order to defend Bac Ninh, I am afraid that the soldiers of the other two battalions may not agree." ”

Since the death of General Wen, the imperial court has not sent the commander-in-chief of the three armies to Bac Ninh, and this position has been vacant.

All the affairs of the Bac Ninh Army were resolved by the generals of the three battalions.

This time was no exception, so General Zhang was not sure if the other two generals would be able to share his heart and mind.

Wen Rongan thought for a while and reminded: "Uncle, didn't you just say that General Wang intends to marry you?" ”

General Zhang's eyes suddenly lit up, his hands clapped, and he laughed: "Yes, with this marriage of children, I don't have to worry that General Wang will not have the same heart with me." As for General Chen, since the two of us are on the same page, he will definitely not object! ”

Wen Rongan nodded in agreement.

Zhang Yunzong was also happy for a moment because of the current problem, but soon he reacted wrong.

He asked, "Dad, do you mean that you want to use my marriage in exchange for General Wang's alliance?" ”

Wen Rongan said to Zhang Yunzong: "Yunzong, this matter is small, it is for the tens of thousands of soldiers and people in Beining; To put it bigger, Bac Ninh is the first checkpoint for Sheng Guo to face Mobei, and if this line of defense is broken, Sheng Guo will be in danger. ”

The more Zhang Yunzong listened to Wen Rong'an's reasoning, the more he exploded, and glared angrily: "Okay, you Wen Jinyan, I am the peach blossom who helped you block, but you use me in turn!" ”

General Zhang was dissatisfied with Zhang Yunzong's shouting, glared at him, and reprimanded: "What is the use of not using, the national disaster is at the head, what personal gains and losses do you care?" ”

General Zhang got Wen Rongan's clever plan, so he went to General Wang in a hurry.

Zhang Yunzong was angry, but he couldn't refute it.

Wen Rong'an hurriedly reassured him and said, "Yun Sect don't be annoyed, this is just an expedient measure. ”

Zhang Yunzong snorted reluctantly and threatened: "Wen Jinyan, let me tell you, you must settle this matter for me, I will never marry Wang Lingxuan's tigress!" Otherwise...... Otherwise, I will speak ill of you to my father and prevent him from marrying you Ranran!" ”

Zhang Yunzong racked his brains and thought for a long time before he came up with such a way to threaten Wen Rongan.

Yan Ran was speechless, what does this have to do with her?

But Zhang Yunzong's threat was very effective for Wen Rong'an, and he swore an oath: "Don't worry, I will never let this woman become Ranran's sister-in-law!" ”

Yan Ran laughed embarrassedly twice.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner ended hastily, and General Zhang and Zhang Yunzong went to the barracks and did not return until late at night.

Dumb was already sleepy and fell asleep on the table.

Seeing this, Wyeth said, "Okay, let's go back and rest early!" ”

Several juniors got up one after another and said goodbye to Wyeth.

Wen Rongan sent Yan Ran back to the room, and the two of them walked on the road, and they could still see the fireworks in the sky, which were very gorgeous.

The people of Bac Ninh City did not know that it was already stormy outside, and they were still celebrating the New Year.

Yan Ran asked a little worriedly: "Cousin, don't you go to the barracks to discuss matters, is it okay?" ”

Wen Rong'an nodded and said, "Just now I have already told my uncle all the possibilities and pros and cons, and they know how to deal with it." ”

He paused, looked at Yan Ran, and said affectionately: "Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, I want to accompany you to celebrate the New Year." ”

Yan Ran smiled movingly, but there was some imperceptible sadness in her eyes.

Wen Rong'an keenly captured Yan Ran's fleeting uneasiness, gently hugged her, and promised: "Ranran, don't be afraid." For you, I will definitely do my best to protect my uncle's family, Bac Ninh City, and this country. ”

Wen Rongan's voice was very soft, but it was loud and sound, and it was deeply imprinted in Yan Ran's heart.

Yan Ran heard this, her nose was sour, and her arms around Wen Rong'an tightened.

She has never been afraid of encountering difficulties and dangers, but even though she has made a lot of changes, some things are still going according to the trajectory of her previous life, sooner or later.

What she fears is that she can't change Wen Rong'an's fate, and he will still be involved in party wars and lose his life.

Wen Rongan didn't know why Yan Ran was so uneasy, even if his embrace and comfort didn't work.

In order to alleviate Yan Ran's mood, Wen Rongan turned to talk about the things on the side: "What do you want to ask me when you were eating?" ”

Yan Ran remembered the doubts just now and asked, "I want to ask you, what is the rumor about Wang Lingxuan, is it related to you?" ”

After all, Wang Lingxuan has been acting recklessly in Beining City for a day or two, why was he safe and sound before, but recently there were sudden rumors?

Wen Rongan patted Yan Ran's head lightly and chuckled: "It's still Ranran's smart, this matter is indeed related to me, and I made people spread rumors." I thought that General Wang would marry her off as soon as possible because of the rumors, so that she would not come to your eyes again. But I didn't expect that General Wang would find his uncle. Now it is a mistake, which solves my uncle's temporary predicament. As for the future, since I promised that the Yun Sect was only an expedient measure, I would never break my promise. ”

Yan Ran looked at Wen Rong'an, her eyes were complicated, and she called softly: "Cousin." ”

She wanted to say a lot of things, gratitude, joy, dependence, trust, but in the end it just turned into an affectionate cousin.

Wen Rongan hugged Yan Ran into his arms again, and replied in a deep voice: "Hmm." ”

Well, he'll be there for her at all times.

*

Sure enough, as Wen Rong'an expected, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the large and small Yue countries joined forces to attack the border defense of Beining.

Fortunately, General Zhang and others deployed in advance, and the plan to surprise the enemy did not succeed.

The big and small Yue countries missed a blow, and attacked again, turning from a sneak attack to an open attack, and the war between Shengguo and Mobei officially began.

The arrival of the war did not have much impact on the people of Bac Ninh.

They were used to the war, but the atmosphere in the city was a little more sober than usual.

Yan Ran followed Mo Sui to study medicine as usual, and before she had learned the theoretical knowledge thoroughly, she had to be forced to start practicing because of the increase in the number of wounded after going to the battlefield.

Yan Ran looked down on life and death because of the experience of her previous life, although she had never been in contact with a patient with severe trauma to the point of blurred flesh and blood before, she was not afraid or panicked.

Her calmness and calmness impressed Mo Sui, and she was more dedicated when teaching her.

Just when Yan Ran was concentrating on treating the wounded, she didn't notice that Wen Rongan was gone.
