The new emperor of the southern barbarians ascended the throne, and he was talented and unified the border south, and his ambition was endless. Coupled with the perennial floods in the south of the border, the people are not at peace, and its monarch is also looking for a quiet place for them to live and work in peace and contentment.

But this is only one of them, Great Xia has stabilized the Central Plains for nearly a hundred years, and all forces are eyeing each other, and the new monarch of the Southern Barbarians also has this ambition.

In short, the war has broken out, and it is more difficult for Bian Nan to be peaceful than to ascend to the sky.

It depends on whether Great Xia has the ability to resist foreign enemies, and whether Emperor Qingyuan is still old, otherwise Great Xia will be in crisis.

The invasion of the Southern Barbarians was not like the Changping Rebellion of that year, it was just a small soldier at that time, although it was capable, it was a real speed war.

The southern barbarians are different, they have their own land, their own people, many soldiers, and are not afraid of protracted war.

It is precisely because of these that the three princes and nine secretaries of the DPRK and the Central Committee, and even the people are so anxious.

Some of the ten people who were simply sent out can still come back, with the current situation of Bian Nan.

Everyone felt that this trip was difficult and dangerous, even if they came back successfully, they would have to bring some injuries or something, but no one expected Shen Shiqian to come back unscathed.

When the officials of the DPRK and China saw him coming back and forth to the main hall, they all talked about it, and some even admonished: "Your Majesty, I see that this son is deceitful, and he came back unscathed, either he has already returned to the enemy country, or he has deceived the king, and he has not gone to the border at all." ”

There are not a few people who think so, but Emperor Qingyuan didn't listen to it, he still asked Shen Shiqian first: "What useful clues did you get here?" What is the situation in Bian Nan now? ”

Shen Shiqian knelt down on the high platform and bowed: "Back to the king, the current situation in the south of the border can be described as dire, after the invasion of the southern barbarians, there are all kinds of evils such as burning, killing and looting, and now the city gate is not opened, and the people inside can hide, and they dare not go out all day and night." Your Majesty, if you don't send troops to rescue you, I'm afraid that these people will be starved to death if they are not killed by the Southern Barbarians. ”

Emperor Qingyuan frowned: "Will their main force stay in Biannan City now, or will they continue to move forward?" ”

Shen Shiqian said again: "The little one was very heavily guarded on the day he first arrived in Bian Nan City, but when he left, he was a lot lax, and the little one was thinking that these people were already planning the next step, or they were already on the way. ”

Emperor Qingyuan did not doubt him, and got up and ordered to Taiwei: "Lord Taiwei, you quickly send people to Ling'an City to convey the holy decree, ask Ling'an City to gather all the troops to prepare to resist the enemy, and then send the decree to the surrounding cities, and ask its county guards to also gather troops to prepare for battle!" ”

The lieutenant walked out from among the courtiers: "The minister has an order!" ”

Emperor Qingyuan asked Taiwei to go down to do errands, and he looked at Shen Shiqian carefully: "You don't look very old..."

"Back to the king, the little one just turned thirteen this year, and he is fourteen years old."

Emperor Qingyuan was very optimistic about this little boy: "Sure enough, there are talented people in the country, and your young age can be worthy of the nine seniors who went with you, which shows that your ability is outstanding." ”

Shen Shiqian was extremely humble: "The small ones are just small attendants in the army, and they don't dare to be the king's praise, it is more reasonable that this is a major event in the Great Xia Kingdom, and the small ones don't dare to play with children's play." ”

Emperor Qingyuan laughed heartily: "Not bad! With your words alone, there is a reward for being alone! Tell me what you want, the military? Or gold and silver. ”

Shen Shiqian bowed to Emperor Qingyuan again: "The little one thanked the monarch for his favor, but the little one didn't seek fame or money, but only wanted to be able to go to the south of the border with the army to face the battle!" ”

Hearing this, Emperor Qingyuan hesitated: "At your young age, you feel that you are a malleable talent, you might as well stay in Yandu for a few years, and only then can you be able to take on a big responsibility." ”

"Nope! The gentleman's words are wrong, and if he doesn't practice it, he can only talk on paper, and the little one wants to be a brave and resourceful hero with great military achievements. ”

Everyone present, including Emperor Qingyuan, felt that this kid was talking wildly, if he really let this yellow-haired boy get military merits, it would be a strange thing.

Emperor Qingyuan also appreciated his courage: "Okay, Lone will give you the position of deputy colonel to assist the army in battle!" ”

Shen Shiqian knocked his head on the ground three more times: "The last general takes orders!" ”

In the next few days, Yandu was not calm, and troops had to be dispatched from all sides, and many troops were formed in Yandu to wait for orders from above, and in a flash Yandu could see soldiers wearing armor everywhere.

It is also this scene that makes the people in Yandu even more panicked, and now they can't see a few people when they go out.

The same is true of the Han family, the Li family also sent Chu Yu over to bring a message, and told him not to let the servants of Chunyuan go out.

A few days later, news came from the palace that Han Erlang had been appointed as the general of the expeditionary force, and he had led 10,000 troops to prepare to go out of the city to join the troops sent by all parties.

Before leaving, Han Erlang still came back, although he played cruel words last time, but it was just angry words. I don't know when I will come back from this expedition, and Han Erlang is afraid that he will leave like this and never see his family again.

When he came back, it was already a unitary hour, and the Han family was there, and the Grand Duke heard that Han Erlang was going to go on an expedition, and he felt very uncomfortable. Although he didn't give Han Erlang any good face on his face, he called the entire Han family to the main hall, in fact, he came to see off Han Erlang.

This move also made Han Erlang angry, he was willing to call his father and mother, and kowtowed to the two elders above the high hall: "The child is not filial, and he still doesn't know the bad luck here, so that his father and mother are worried." ”

The eldest mother didn't feel good in her heart, and she complained: "You! It's just too disobedient, and I went to be a military general, and today is good, and I have to go on an expedition to the south. ”

But the Grand Duke didn't say this, he only asked, "How sure are you that you're going?" Can you be confident? ”

Han Erlang said: "I can't say for sure about the war, the child can't be said to be completely sure, but he will definitely go all out." ”

Grand Duke Han nodded: "If you say this, I will rest assured, the battlefield is unpredictable, and only humility can take a steady step." ”

After listening to the Grand Duke's lecture, Han Erlang summoned a young man from outside the door, and that person was Shen Shiqian.

Wang Fuling raised his head leisurely, but unexpectedly collided with Shen Shiqian's gaze, and he bowed his head slightly to show respect.

Seeing that he was dressed in military uniform, Wang Fuling frowned, this kid is going to go out with the army?

How does this work? Shen Shiqian is the orphan of the last line of King Changping, and he can't easily go to the battlefield to die.

She gave Shen Shiqian a sharp look, but Shen Shiqian saw it but was indifferent, so she simply pretended not to see it.

Han Erlang brought him to the Grand Duke: "Father, this young man's name is Shen Shiqian, and he is the most proud student of the child, and he will now go to the battlefield with me." It's just that his parents are dead and he has no family, and I want to take him as a adopted son, if... If there is any accident on this trip, if he is still alive, please take care of it. ”

The Grand Duke didn't like Han Erlang very much when he said this: "Hugh is talking nonsense! The battle hasn't started yet, what are you talking about? You have to take it, but you can't say it again. ”
