Chapter 273: The Battle Begins

The garrison general of the Taiping Guard can also be regarded as a general, although his name is not as good as that of Zhenyuan's general Yan Jun, but he has also saved great achievements on the battlefield, so he was awarded the title of "General of Five Guarantees".

General Wubao's real name is Xie Lingyu, a very bookish name, and he himself is indeed like his name, not only likes poetry and painting, but also has a good face, although he is in a military position, but he is not as rough as other martial artists, he is very easy-going in dealing with people, and he is an extremely rare Confucian general.

Although Xie Lingyu is a general of Zhengsanpin, he doesn't even have a decent general's mansion, he only has a small mansion in the Guardhouse City, and he still rents someone else's.

If it weren't for the fact that he and the owner of the mansion were brothers-in-law, the rent would have been reduced a lot, and I am afraid that the little money would not be enough for the family's expenses.

Xie Lingyu's parents died early, he alone pulled his sister up, the daughter was not left, the sister was married before the age of twenty, Xie Lingyu had no worries, so he joined the army, and then met the current wife Qi.

The two have been married for three years, and the Qi family gave birth to a son, and the family of three lives in this coastal city, which can be regarded as happy.

Xie Lingyu has 20,000 heavy troops, although it is not much in the entire dynasty, but once the army has the intention of rebellion, it will take some effort to settle it.

For example, Yan Jun, the general of Zhenyuan, even if he had a lifelong friendship with Emperor Sheng'en, still could not escape the suspicion of the emperor, and Mrs. Yan could only stay in the capital until now, and the husband and wife could not see each other for several years.

Like Xie Lingyu, who can reunite as a family, looking at the entire dynasty, there are still only a handful, and outsiders have no way of knowing the reason.

……

Nie Yingxue hurried for two days in a row, and finally arrived at Taipingwei, Jiangping Province is rich, Taipingwei is naturally no exception, merchants in the city come and go frequently, and the street vendors shout one after another.

Nie Yingxue had something to do, and she didn't have time to enjoy the scenery, so she went straight to the General's Mansion as soon as she entered the city.

Xie Lingyu was practicing calligraphy in his study, and when he heard that there were guests outside, he put down what he was doing to receive him, and saw that he was a woman he had never met, and he couldn't help but show doubts.

Nie Yingxue smiled politely and said softly:

"I've seen General Wubao."

Xie Lingyu also saluted and asked:

"I wonder why the girl came?"

Nie Yingxue didn't answer, but glanced at the people of Xie Mansion intentionally or unintentionally, Xie Lingyu immediately understood, waved his hand and retreated.

Nie Yingxue took out a sachet from her sleeve and handed it over.

Xie Lingyu took the sachet and didn't care about it at first, but when he saw the embroidery on it clearly, his eyes immediately revealed shock, but he still didn't change his face and said:

"Dare to ask the girl, what does this mean?"

Nie Yingxue still smiled and said:

"The second prince is in a trap, and he asked the general to send troops to rescue him."

Xie Lingyu did not directly pick up the stubble, but asked rhetorically:

"Girl?"

Nie Yingxue gave a blessing, "Niece and daughter-in-law see uncle." ”

……

Xie Lingyu was able to sit in his current position, in addition to his own outstanding ability, it was also related to his unknown secret identity.

This identity is not only unknown to outsiders, but even his wife, who has been in bed with him for decades, does not know. It is precisely because of this identity that he does not need to be separated from his family, because in the capital, there has always been a relative comparable to his son.

Xie Lingyu's ancestral home is Xiejia Village, located at the edge of the dynasty, and his sister, the woman who married a certain chivalrous warrior, is the biological mother of the current second prince, Wang Zhide.

Xie Lingyu has been in the army for more than 20 years, and he has been smooth sailing from a pawn to a general, he seems to have no background, but he is stronger than anyone else, and even several delays in the military plane have been made small, just because the brother-in-law feels indebted to him.

The nephew who is the prince, Xie Lingyu has only met a few times in the past thirty years, and even Emperor Xian'en, who holds the secret guard, doesn't know about this, otherwise even if he ties the king's authority to the capital, he will never let him go to Jiangnan to become a vassal domain.

As the folk saying goes, mother-in-law, flesh-and-blood, discounted bones are connected to tendons.

Xie Lingyu, the maternal uncle, although he has not met his nephew a few times, is extremely attentive to him, but since he heard that he rebelled, he has never let go of his hanging heart.

Blood is thicker than water, and now that the other party asks for help, even if he risks losing his head all over the door, he will resolutely lead his troops there.

……

"Miss Nie, is there anyone else in the family?"

Xie Lingyu said with a smile, the more he looked at the nephew and daughter-in-law in front of him, the more satisfied he became.

As soon as these words came out, the woman's eyes on the other side lowered, and she said in a lonely tone:

"I have been an orphan since I was a child, and it was Master who raised me, and then Master also left."

Xie Lingyu sighed in his heart when he heard this, and hurriedly said:

"Child, from now on, you can treat me as your own uncle, if my nephew dares to bully you, just tell me, and my uncle will support you."

Nie Yingxue's face turned better when she heard this, and she said obediently:

"Yingxue thanked her uncle first."

……

Wang Quanquan led an army of 40,000 to the Zhongdu Mansion in four days, and took advantage of the encampment, Wang Quanquan looked at the city in front of him, and pondered where to start.

"Lord Wang, can the cannon you brought really blow through the city gate?"

As soon as Yan Shaoshanda saw the strangely shaped cannon, he showed a strong interest, and often took advantage of the rest to take a look twice, this kind of thing is sometimes more attractive to men than beautiful girls.

Wang Quanquan gnawed on the dry food and said vaguely:

"I've tested it many times, so it shouldn't be a big problem, and to tell you the truth, the battlefield in the future will definitely be the world of this thing."

Yan Shaoshan became even more excited when he heard this, "Can you let me ignite it for a while." ”

Wang Quanquan nodded, "Of course it's no problem, by the way, are the things I asked you to prepare ready?" ”

"When you're ready, I'll bury them in the ground in a moment."

"That should be foolproof." Wang Quanquan threw the last mouthful of dry food into his mouth and turned to look at a carriage behind him.

The carriage was carrying a few iron chisels seven or eight feet long, which were specially customized by a blacksmith in Pengcheng, which was useless for siege, but could be used to deal with the old Taoist who could lead mines.

"Lord, when will you do it?" Yan Shaoshan asked.

Wang Quanquan looked up at the sky, "The moon is dark and the wind is high to kill people at night, and you can do it at night." ”

……

The scene of the 40,000 army pressing the realm Wang Shande saw it on the city wall from afar, he frowned and looked at the busy Wang Dynasty army under the city, and asked Zhao Hu behind him:

"Hasn't Miss Nie come back yet?"

Zhao Hu shook his head, "The inferior has sent scouts to investigate many times, and there is no figure of Miss Nie within fifty miles. ”

Wang Zhide nodded, and then said to the purple-robed old Taoist on the side:

"I'm afraid I'm going to have to help Daoist Wen again in a while."

Wen Fuding still looked like he was in his chest, and said in a flat tone:

"It's okay, the prince will win this battle."

Zhou Jiuer, who had not played any role since he entered the city, was suspicious when he heard this, as a cultivator, he was also the most clear about the so-called Heavenly Dao.

This Daoist Wen is so desperate to participate in the battle for royal power, and even uses magic to attract visions to help, is he really not afraid of incurring backlash?

While he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a fire light under the city, and then a loud noise came, and the entire city wall shook with it.

The battle began......
