In fact, there is nothing wrong with Wei Changzheng's decision, as long as there is no war, then it is indeed a good way to let these idle soldiers reclaim the wasteland and farm the land, and it can indeed alleviate the financial crisis of the Jing Dynasty's treasury.

If there is no accident, when it comes to the autumn harvest, Wei Changzheng will indeed receive a lot of credit.

But his mistake was that the timing of the transfer of the soldiers was wrong.

At the beginning, Wei Changzheng received a letter from Beijing, saying that Jiang Heng, the Duke of Zhenguo, asserted that the Northern Barbarians would definitely invade the Jing Dynasty, and he was afraid of the Northern Barbarians who might start a war, so Wei Changzheng only transferred a small number of border soldiers to open up the wasteland, and the remaining large part was still tightly defended.

But for nearly a month, there was no news from the Beiman, and Wei Changzheng gradually put that caution aside and began to dispatch at least half of the soldiers to open up the wasteland.

For Wei Changzheng's decision, there is not no one who opposes it among the border officers.

For example, several generals around Jiang Heng had an extremely fierce conflict with Wei Changzheng, trying to stop Wei Changzheng's decision to let the soldiers go to the wasteland.

It's just that after Jiang Heng left, Wei Changzheng was indeed the highest-ranking person among everyone, and even if these generals tried to stop it, they were helpless in the end.

However, although these generals failed to finally stop Wei Changzheng from sending the soldiers to open up the wasteland, they also restrained the people under them, these people can be said to be the descendants of Jiang Heng's lineage, even if Wei Changzheng oppressed people with his status, he couldn't play a role, and in the end, he naturally had to stop.

It is precisely because these descendants of Jiang Heng are unwilling to open up the wasteland, so Wei Changzheng simply arranged this part of the soldiers to guard the border city.

However, the wool can't catch a sheep to pick up, even if these soldiers are more willing to guard the border than to open up the wasteland, but they are also flesh and blood, and they will always be tired, of course, they have to change their guards.

It was also on this day that after the change of guard, this part of the soldiers who were diligent in training dragged their tired bodies back to the camp to rest, and replaced them with a part of the soldiers who opened up the wasteland every day to guard the city, and the accident happened suddenly.

Because Wei Changzheng didn't think there would be any accidents at all, he didn't send scouts to reconnoiter the possible enemy situation during this time, so that the enemy came to a place that was visible to the naked eye, and was finally discovered by the sentry on the sentry tower.

But at this time, how can it be in time?

There is no doubt that it was the Northern Barbarians who suddenly came to invade the border pass.

The Northern Barbarians were obviously premeditated, they were calculated or not, and the soldiers who had just changed their guard were still busy farming during this time, and they hadn't practiced well for a while, so that when the two sides collided together, it was conceivable who would lose and who would win.

Although, because of the obstruction of the city wall, the Beiban was not able to break the city in one fell swoop, but the attack of the Beiban and the wrong strategy of Wei Changzheng made the morale of the soldiers extremely low.

Compared with the soldiers of the Jing Dynasty who had low morale, the Beiban side was strong and strong, and the morale was greatly boosted, and the two sides formed an extremely strong contrast.

Under such circumstances, even if the Jing Dynasty was on the defensive side of the city and occupied some convenience relatively speaking, if Wei Changzheng could not quickly revive his morale and reverse the adverse effects of the soldiers who had abandoned their drills due to long-term farming, the border pass would be really dangerous.

At the beginning, Wei Changzheng also tried to do something, and even, in order to revive the morale of the soldiers, he also personally faced the Northern Barbarians, but Wei Changzheng had little experience in previous battles, and the result of the personal battle was almost cut down by the Northern Barbarians.

In this way, Wei Changzheng's battle not only failed to revive morale, but also made morale even more sluggish.

Wei Changzheng's performance is of course very disappointing.

For the soldiers at the border pass, in the past 20 years, it has always been Jiang Heng who has taken them to guard the border pass, and now Jiang Heng has returned to Beijing and has come to a Wei Changzheng, even if they don't ask Wei Changzheng to be as powerful as Jiang Heng, but don't be too far behind!

In the past, there was Jiang Heng as the coach, Wei Changzheng just followed Jiang Heng's orders, and he won a few battles, but now that Jiang Heng has left and has not returned, Wei Changzheng can finally make his own decisions, but he has to come to such a result.

Wei Changzheng used his actual performance to tell the soldiers that compared to Jiang Heng, he was not half a little worse.

Under this internal and external troubles, Wei Changzheng did not last long, and soon sent the situation of the border pass to the capital for 800 miles.

After receiving the battle report from the border pass, the imperial court was naturally shocked.

But at the same time of shock, the civil and military officials could only keep their shock in their hearts and did not dare to show it on the surface.

As for the reason......

Needless to say?

Emperor Jingwen and Zhenguo Gong, the two monarchs and ministers, didn't they become estranged because of the affairs of the Northern Barbarians?

At that time, Zhenguo Gongyan was chiseled, and the Tao was that the Northern Barbarians must have a heart of disobedience, and it was very likely that the Jing Dynasty would not have time to recover and do the act of falling into the well.

Facts have proved that Zhen Guogong's judgment was not wrong at all.

However, Emperor Jingwen at that time refused to believe it!

I don't know if I really don't believe it, or if I can't believe it for some other reason, in short, a pair of monarchs and ministers broke up unhappily because of this matter.

Originally, if the Northern Barbarians really didn't invade the Jing Dynasty, it would be nothing.

Can ...... now

The Northern Barbarians really invaded the Jing Dynasty, and Wei Changzheng, who was entrusted with the important task by Emperor Jing Wen, made such a stupid move, which made the morale of the border soldiers low now, and if it was not good, there would be a big mess, then it would be embarrassing.

After all, originally, if he really followed the advice of Zhen Guogong, or directly asked Zhen Guogong to return to the border, all this could have been completely avoided.

Considering the possible reaction of Emperor Jingwen, the hundred officials in the court were silent on this matter.

What is completely different from the reaction of the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and the central government is that after the people in the capital learned about this incident, they unabashedly started talking about it.

Jing Dynasty and Xiyi fought for more than 20 years, and finally the two countries finally negotiated peace, and it was under the condition that Jing Dynasty had an advantage, and the people felt that they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

For this reason, the people will inevitably feel panicked.
