"The people of the wild land led the army to invade the border of our Central Plains, and now the border situation is critical, please give your majesty an order as soon as possible to resist the barbarians!"

Hearing this, the emperor didn't react much, but the princess of the neighboring country slapped the table and stood up for the first time.

"They are so arrogant that they dare to commit it when our two countries are framing!" Tana's willow eyebrows were raised, obviously looking very indignant, "Your Majesty, our two countries are now diplomatic relations, and now that you are in trouble, we will naturally not stand idly by, if necessary, please just ask, I will definitely show our monarch and help your country!" ”

"The princess has this heart, we are really grateful, then please ask the princess to explain the situation to your monarch." The emperor didn't say much, and even responded.

When Tana heard the emperor say this, she immediately saluted the emperor, "I think that the border war situation should be tight now, and this time cannot be delayed." I will say goodbye to you this time, and immediately set off to return home, and then lead the army to help your country!" ”

After saying that, after getting the emperor's answer, Tana left directly.

To be honest, the emperor was just calm, but he wasn't really calm. When he heard that the people of the Savage Land were coming, he knew that things were not going to be good.

The Savage Land has always been brave and good at fighting people, but it is only because of the small number of people that they have been suppressed by them. The people of the Barbarian Land have not been here for eleven years, and at most they are just a few small fights, and they can't make any big waves.

But I heard that the people of the Savage Land have changed their leaders recently, and this time the attack has made such a big noise, it must be that it is going to be real. And the only general in the north who could be the girder before them has long since returned to the field! In addition, General North is now old. Even if the emperor no longer has manpower, it is impossible to force this old man to go to the battlefield.

Tana's initiative gave him a little relief, but after all, far water can't save near fire, and the top priority is to find someone who can afford the beam.

After thinking about this, the emperor couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.

Today's banquet can't be held.,The other protagonist has long since left the table.。

After glancing at the crowd, the emperor slowly asked, "Now that the people of the wild land are coming, are there any people here who are willing to take the initiative to ask Ying to suppress those barbarians?" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an unexpected silence in the audience.

Originally, there were still people whispering, but now everyone is in danger, for fear that they will be arrested by the emperor to attack these barbarians.

In fact, it's not a big deal to attack the barbarians, it's just that the barbarians are brave and good at fighting, and the people under the seat also know that if they lose their lives because of this, it will be worth the loss.

Seeing such an execution of the emperor, he couldn't help but sigh in a low voice, and asked again, "If there is an active cause, I should give the general an order and let him lead the army with full authority." If you can return victoriously, you will be promoted to the knighthood, so who is willing to go? ”

He asked, but no one answered, only the echo echoed in the loneliness, which showed the emperor's helplessness even more.

Seeing this, Rong Yan and Zhao Yunling somehow felt a little unbearable.

After another unknown amount of time, Rong Yan stood up, "Bingsheng thinks I am willing to lead the army to resist the barbarians!" ”

The emperor couldn't help but get excited when he heard that someone had taken the initiative, and he glanced up at the person who took the initiative to ask for help, only to find that the person was nothing more than a businessman.

It's not funny for a while, it's not desolate.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to take the initiative to invite Ying to fight, and in the end, a businessman stood up, how funny it was.

No matter how Rong Yan is, he is just a businessman. Although the emperor wanted someone to go to war, he did not want to be a mediocre person to lead his troops into battle.

If this is the case, not only will he lose face, but he will also lose his military horse in vain, then it will really outweigh the loss.

"I remember you, but you're just a businessman, what are you capable of leading troops?" The emperor looked at Rong Yan with these hesitations.

The emperor's hesitation was naturally within Rong Yan's expectations,

However, the emperor's question was already very tactful, and he did not directly refuse Rong Yan, Rong Yan heard his words, and knew that as long as he showed his ability, there was a high probability that there would be a chance.

"Tell the Holy Lord, although I am only a businessman, but. But I grew up reading military books since I was a child, and I also have a little study of the art of war, so I don't believe you can test me at will. Rong Yan looked very confident when he said this.

When the emperor saw Rong Yan's appearance, he also had a little faith in his ability, "Those who were good at fighting in the past were invincible first, and then the enemy could be defeated." ”

Rong Yan. The art of war has long been reversed, and when he heard the emperor say it, he said, "You can't win against yourself, but you can win against the enemy." Therefore, those who are good at fighting can be invincible, and cannot make the enemy invincible. Therefore, it is said: victory can be known, but not done. ”

The emperor's eyes couldn't help but light up, "If you don't move, you don't need it, you don't have to fight." ”

"The Lord shall not raise up an army in anger, nor shall he use war in vain; Use it for the sake of profit, and stop if it is not in suit. Rong Yan replied leisurely, looking at ease.

Seeing him like this, not only did the emperor change his opinion of him, but almost everyone present, including Rong Yan's perception that he was just a small businessman. Keep your books in stock

After all, no small businessman knows the art of war well.

"Well, in that case, I will appoint you as the general, and you must not live up to my expectations of you!" The emperor immediately clapped his hands.

His subordinates immediately took the general's order and half of the talismans, and handed them to Rong Yan at the emperor's instructions.

Such people who had been surprised by Rong Yan's talent just now couldn't help but be surprised again - they didn't expect that the emperor would really order the general to a businessman who had never held an official position.

Rong Yan wasn't too surprised. The vision was not overjoyed, but he knelt down indifferently and took the general's order and half a piece of military talisman, "Thank you, the minister, I will live up to your expectations!" ”

"From now on, let's go on the expedition!" The emperor flicked his sleeves and ordered.

Rong Yan kowtowed, "Yes!" ”

Hearing Rong Yan's answer, the emperor left the banquet, and the banquet ended.

Zhao Yunling did not object much to Rong Yan's initiative to ask Ying to go on the expedition, on the contrary, she agreed with Rong Yan's actions, because she couldn't look down on the people, because the people in the wild land came to invade and lived in the water and fire.

Similarly, she didn't want to see Rong Yan face danger alone, and what she was safe and secure was that she would also go out with Rong Yan with the army.

Now the people of the wild land have come to Jiayu Pass, Jiayu Pass is a dangerous pass, it has always been a place where soldiers must fight, easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as Jiayu Pass is obtained, the people of the reckless land are not far from breaking through the country.

Rong Yan and Zhao Yunling naturally couldn't see this happen.

They set off the next day, set up camp in front of Jiayu Pass, and then discussed how to defend Jiayu Pass.

"I have an idea, this Jiayu Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and we are now in the pass, so there is no need to go out and fight them. If we do it, we will definitely not be able to touch them, and even if we win, we will definitely suffer heavy casualties. We might as well hold on to Jiayu Pass firmly, consume their reserves, and strike again when they are overwhelmed. Rong Yan told his plan and glanced at the people in the tent who were discussing together.

In fact, no one will refute Rong Yan's plan.

First, because Rong Yan is a general under the emperor's personal order, and second, because there is no one in the camp who can compare with Rong Yan in military talent, and there is nothing wrong with Rong Yan's strategy.

Seeing the silence in the room, Rong Yan knew their attitude, and when the order was issued.

Their troops inside the pass were well fed, drunk, and rested, trained at night, and the gongs and drums were noisy, making the barbarians outside the pass unable to live in peace.

The barbarians outside the gate heard that a new general was coming, and they wanted to kill Rong Yan's majesty and break through Jiayu Pass in one fell swoop, but they didn't expect to face such a scene, and what they didn't expect was that Rong Yan did it for more than a month as soon as he did this.

More than a month later, the barbarian food and grass were basically exhausted, and the barbarian soldiers all relaxed their vigilance, and there was no food and grass, and their nutrition could not keep up, and they became more and more lazy.

And Rong Yan did not relax the training of his soldiers during this time, and took the opportunity to secretly lead people to intercept their reserve supplies, so that the barbarian soldiers had no way back.

At this point, the time has come.

Rong Yan led the army to defeat the barbarian army in one fell swoop, returned to Beijing with a great victory, and became famous, and he also completely confirmed the position of the general No one questioned him anymore.

Rong Yan originally wanted to be a general for a month or two before stepping down and continuing to live with Zhao Yunling as they traveled while doing business, but in addition to the emperor and a cadre of courtiers, Zhao Yunling also stopped him.

"Haven't you always wanted to live in seclusion?" Rong Yan was very surprised by Zhao Yunling's obstruction of him.

Zhao Yunling shook his head with a smile, "I really want to live in seclusion, but I only found out from your expedition this time that I prefer to help the world rather than being alone, because we have the ability, and we can't bear to see so many people suffering from war." Rong Yan, you think so too, right? ”

Although Zhao Yunling used a question, the answer was undoubtedly yes, if it weren't for that, Rong Yan would not have taken the initiative to ask for help.

With Zhao Yunling's support, Rong Yan continued to be the general.

has been in office for more than ten years, and has experienced large and small battles, but he has never been defeated.

Knowing that they had both reached Huajia, Rong Yan also unloaded his armor and returned to the field, took Zhao Yunling to a place that no one knew, and finally lived the secluded life they dreamed of.

Rong Yan still remembered what Zhao Yunling said to him a long time ago, "Rong Yan, if you can, I hope that when we get old, we can live together in a place where there are mountains, rivers, people, chickens and dogs barking, but no one knows us." ”

"But most importantly, we've always been together."

This wish, which has been delayed for so many years, has finally come true.

That's great.
