Chapter 166: The Death of the Captain

【Chinese Network】, to provide you with wonderful reading.

After this information reached Yandu, it caused a lot of repercussions in the court.

Because this is already the second commander who died in the south of the border, Han Erlang escaped by chance, but Taiwei's father and son could not escape the disaster.

When Emperor Qingyuan talked about this in the court, he looked sad and posthumously awarded the title of Marquis of Taiwei Enyi, and he was hereditarily replaced.

However, the Taiwei only had one son, and he died tragically in the south of the border, which means that there is no one to replace him.

Moreover, the Marquis of Enyi is just a false name, and another family is on the verge of extinction.

Emperor Qingyuan made the decision to let the Enyihou family adopt a son in his clan to inherit the position of Enyihou, but it was only a ten-year-old child, so there was nothing to fear.

In the eyes of everyone, this move has been very clear, Emperor Qingyuan wants to monopolize power.

Everyone knows in their hearts, and when Emperor Qingyuan mentioned who would replace the former captain, no one dared to go up.

In this way, the post of lieutenant became vacant, and no one dared to be the commander of the three armies.

So, Emperor Qingyuan got his wish and used the people he wanted to use, and he asked people to send the will to Xuncheng and bring the will to Shen Shiqian. The general meaning of the holy decree is to let Shen Shiqian temporarily assume the position of commander and lead the three armies to continue to resist the enemy.

This move attracted the opposition of many people, in addition to the theory of the family, some people said that Shen Shiqian was just a teenager, even if he had some talent, he was not enough to take on a big role.

Emperor Qingyuan was not in a hurry, and asked all the people who raised objections to stand up, saying that as long as they were willing to invite themselves to the border south to command the three armies, he could withdraw his order.

For the children of the family who are accustomed to being pampered in Yandu, Bian Nan has become synonymous with nightmares. None of those who went to the border south to command the three armies ended well.

Emperor Qingyuan grasped the minds of these people, so he was not afraid of them to obstruct them.

Besides, the holy decree is to let Shen Shiqian temporarily act as the commander, and someone will replace him in the future. Emperor Qingyuan used this to stabilize those who objected, and they did not dare to invite themselves to go, so they could only put it aside for the time being.

However, the situation in the south of the border is still not optimistic, and Yandu is still gathering people to go to the south of the border.

These news spread far and wide into the market.

The people who were already at ease began to worry again, and it was winter, and the streets of Yandu became empty alleys for a while.

Although Han Erlang was in the Han Mansion, he was still concerned about the soldiers who fought in the south here, and he wrote a letter to send to the south of the border quickly.

What he didn't know was that the letter had passed through someone else's hands before it was sent to Bian Nan, and the things it said had already been read clean.

In the end, the letter was forwarded to Shen Shiqian.

The general content of the letter was to ask Shen Shiqian to wait for the arrival of reinforcements from Beijing, and then detour from the flank of Biannan City to the frontier territory, and attack Biannan City before and after.

Seeing the word "fire attack", Shen Shiqian lost his mind, and some concrete pictures appeared in his mind, as if it was yesterday.

When he came back to his senses, he noticed the creases in the letter.

This paper has a second crease, which has been opened halfway,

Shen Shiqian was very vigilant and began to ponder at this time.

In fact, he also thought of a strategic plan for encirclement and suppression, but it was unrealistic to bypass the patrol range of the southern Xinjiang army. Moreover, it is very likely that the contents of the letter have already been read, and it is not excluded that there is a detailed work.

Shen Shiqian thought about it and decided to make a dangerous move.

No one expected that on the fourth day of the fall of Biannan City again, Shen Shiqian led a team of men and horses to do something earth-shattering in the middle of the night.

For the southern Xinjiang army stationed in Biannan City, midnight is the most important time to be prepared, so Shen Shiqian did not choose midnight, but chose at dawn.

At dawn, there is only half an hour left before dawn, and that is the time when it is most relaxed. For darkness had passed, the vigilant defenders relaxed at this time, feeling that they had spent the night in peace.

At this time, he led the men to quietly ignite a raging fire in the corner of the city wall, attracting the attention of the enemy troops inside, and then allowing people to successfully climb the city gate.

The raging fire really aroused the idea of the garrison, and they gathered there, fearing that the fire would spread to Biannan City, so they were all there to put out the fire.

It was at this time that Shen Shiqian led people to successfully climb the city gate and kill the people stationed above.

Due to the fire not far away, many people did not notice the situation on the other side of the city gate, and all their attention was on that side.

At this time, the people brought by Shen Shiqian began to pour kerosene down from the city gate, and the city gate suddenly burned under it.

The people over there noticed this, and Shen Shiqian hurriedly retreated with the people.

After several times like this, the army in Biannan City began to be in chaos, and the army taken away by Shen Shiqian had already gathered outside, lighting wooden arrows and flying towards Biannan City.

Not only in the city, but also outside the entire city wall began to burn.

Biannan City suddenly became a sea of fire, but Shen Shiqian still refused to give up, and kept letting people release arrows into the city.

The people in the city wanted to come out of the city gate here, but Shen Shiqian had already asked people to block the city gate with stones, and they couldn't get out at all.

The only way is to exit through the East Gate, so that the Biannan City will be empty again.

It doesn't matter if it's burned, without Biannan City, they won't be able to occupy anything.

Shen Shiqian directly asked troops to be stationed on several roads to investigate the people who came and went, and did not give the southern Xinjiang army any chance.

He is ready to fight again, and reinforcements will come in the near future, and they will definitely arrive before the southern Xinjiang army is rested.

However, everything was not what he expected.

Since then, the southern Xinjiang army has never stepped into the border for half a step, and they have been stationed under the ruins of the southern city for more than half a month, but what they are waiting for is the envoy sent by the southern Xinjiang to Yandu to sue for peace.

The two armies fought, and if they did not kill them, Shen Shiqian asked people to hurry up to Yandu to bring news, and wait for Emperor Qingyuan's will.

Three days later, the decree was issued, and Emperor Qingyuan asked Shen Shiqian to send an escort to the Yan capital, while he still needed to garrison outside the southern city and wait until the two countries negotiated terms before withdrawing his troops.

All this came too suddenly, which made Shen Shiqian very surprised, and he always felt that Southern Xinjiang had other intentions.

The good news from the south of the border came to Yandu, and Yandu boiled, firstly because of the victory in the war, and secondly, because everyone wanted to see what the people of southern Xinjiang looked like.

On the day when the envoy from southern Xinjiang entered the city, the streets of Yandu were crowded with onlookers, which became a stark contrast with the empty alleys before.

Ji Chun also took Ah Huan out to watch, she gestured in front of Wang Fuling, saying that the people of southern Xinjiang looked no different from the people of Daxia, the only difference was that they were born dark and rough-looking.

And Wang Fuling's mind is all on Shen Shiqian, he should be coming back soon, Wang Fuling Dao can't believe it now, the little boy who was timid and weak at the beginning and didn't dare to eat what she gave him has become a big hero so quickly.

On the other side, the envoy entered the imperial city and came to the court.

They brought a lot of things with them this time, and they still seemed to be a little sincere.

But no one expected that they would sue for peace and propose an impossible thing. For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
