Chapter 338: The Past of the Border City
When the old marquis was welcomed into this courtyard just now, he directly saw what Murong Qing wanted him to see, although there was still some dirt on it, but the old lady could see it at a glance, it was his son's thing!
When the old marquis Kou was also fighting on the battlefield, the wife of the family gave birth to a child, and every child was born, and he was not at home, but when he got the news of the child, he was in the border city and made a jade pendant for the child with jade.
Therefore, every child of the Kou family has their different jade pendant, because it is not a precious jade, but just a thing made by the old marquis to celebrate the birth of his child.
The first and second were done, and when it came to the third, I thought:
"Simply, make one for every child born in the future."
Therefore, this thing made by the old marquis himself was handed over to the child when he saw the child for the first time! It's a memorial for the child.
And the children of the Kou family all treat this thing with special significance as a treasure, and they all have to carry it with them, if it is not related to life and death, they will not take it out.
And after General Kou died in the war, he didn't find this thing on him, and the people of the Kou family were only sad at that time, thinking that it had fallen on the battlefield.
Later, after the aftermath was done, General Kou's lieutenant also woke up from his serious injuries, and only when he saw the old marquis did he say:
"The people of the Ha tribe, a sudden attack! And on our side, we have just been transferred troops. There aren't many people left. ”
Yes, it happened that someone in the DPRK proposed that the west side had not been fought for many years because the Kou family was well defended, but there had always been 200,000 troops in the territory there. If you raise it in this way, even if the treasury is sufficient, you can't bear to eat and drink all the time.
And there is another voice saying that the Kou family has been in this western border city for so many years, and those soldiers only recognize the Kou family and don't remember that there is a royal family.
And the sin of this is great. Therefore, the old marquis who changed the guard and returned to the dynasty immediately agreed to exchange the new soldiers for the veterans over there. and agreed to withdraw nearly 100,000 soldiers from there to defend the southwest border, and the emperor also named Kou Poxi, the new general of the Kou family, to take these people to the southwest to defend.
The old marquis knew that the emperor handed over these people to the people of the Kou family to lead the troops, which was to trust his own Kou family, so he happily let the fourth elder of the Kou family take 100,000 soldiers to the southwest to build a defensive city, because in the past two years, some foreigners have always come to the mountain road here to harass the border people here. So now I'm also stationed here to defend.
Such a transfer of troops should have come step by step. But I don't know why, but the documents that arrived arrived together. The exchange of troops and the transfer of troops were carried out at the same time.
The eldest and second eldest of the Kou family, who were guarding the border city, had to do things according to the will of the DPRK. Kou Laosan originally changed his guard with his father, but because he fell in love with a girl in the border city, after the change of guard that year, Kou Laosan did not return to Beijing with his father, but stayed in the border city.
200,000 soldiers. 100,000 were transferred. It's still Kou Laosan who is free and helps his younger brother send him over to settle down. The officer who came to deliver the will said that he had come and that the recruits were on their way. simply took away the veterans who were to be replaced.
According to the recent situation in the border city, Kou Boss and Kou Er thought that there would be three days at most, and the recruits would arrive. The number will still increase to 100,000, which will make the official take away 50,000 veterans to be replaced. There are 50,000 men guarding the border city.
However, unexpectedly, on the third day after the veteran left, the recruit said that it was because the heavy rain had not yet come. This side was besieged by the Ha people.
Boss Kou and Kou Elder Er resisted stubbornly for a day and found that something was wrong. The casualties on his side were somewhat heavy. And everything is too coincidental, it is a transfer of troops, and a change of troops, I don't feel that there is no war, but as soon as there is a war, I find that something is wrong.
Therefore, Kou Boss asked the second brother to go back to the capital to report the news that night, but Kou Boss himself has been fighting on this battlefield for a day, where does he not know the current situation here, he left by himself, and handed it over to the eldest brother, then the eldest brother will be in danger.
Kou Lao Er resolutely refused to leave, Kou Lao San sent the fourth child to settle down, and also rushed back, just in time. The boss glared and scolded:
"Tell you to go with the fourth, what are you doing when you come back?"
Seeing that the war here is very dangerous, isn't it an extra danger for the third child to come back?
The second child also said:
"That's right, let the third child go back to report the news."
But the third brother was originally the toughest of the brothers, how could he let his brothers work hard here and return to Beijing by himself?
The third child didn't leave, and in the end there was no way, the boss could only call a pro-guard he had been carrying. I gave him my jade pendant and asked him to go back to Beijing to report the news, there was no letter, only oral transmission. Because the boss also knows that if people can come, faith will come. If people can't come, it's useless to believe.
This is a conspiracy for the next year, and it is estimated that my father did not find out in Beijing.
The old marquis naturally didn't find out in Beijing. Because in Beijing, he personally issued the order to transfer troops, and the order to transfer troops was to go down first, so that the number of people was reduced by 100,000. It was okay to leave 100,000 men, he believed in his son's ability.
Then, an order was issued to allow the newly recruited recruits this year to gather 30,000 and exchange them for 30,000 veterans to change their guards elsewhere. However, when his first order was issued, he was pressed into his hand, waiting for half a month, and the second order was sent out together, so that the order, which originally had half a month's turnover, was executed together.
For a while, there was a time difference. Recruits are still on the way.
Moreover, it was obviously 30,000 soldiers, but it was changed to 50,000 guards.
In this way, there were only 50,000 soldiers in the border city. And at this time, 100,000 soldiers suddenly appeared, and came to attack your 50,000 soldiers, as if they knew where the weakness of the defense on this side was.
This battle was fought very fiercely! Fifty thousand veterans, as the three generals did not dare to rush out, only fought a defensive battle, and in the end, although the city was saved when the recruits came, all three generals were seriously injured and died!
Among the three generals, General Kou Da was newly ordered by the emperor, saying that he was a general who could not be replaced with 300,000 soldiers. The living were sacrificed like this.
When Kou Laosi's men and horses came back and the new recruits arrived, the Ha people retreated, but the losses here were incalculable.
However, the messenger they sent out did not arrive in the capital, and it was only after the deputy general woke up afterwards that everyone knew that there was still a messenger. So, who hijacked the messenger?
All the time, this thing is a mystery! The emperor also knew about the matter before and after, and he was furious in the court! Strive to let people check, who pressed the order together? In the end, he killed a herald.
But the Kou family died three sons for this! The dynasty is missing the talents of three great generals! This is the reason why the emperor still reuses the Kou family!
