Chapter 496: That Night

The nineteenth day of the first month of the twenty-fourth year of Zhaohua.

Night.

The moon is bright and the stars are scarce.

Li Chenan and his entourage had arrived in Feng County and had not entered the city.

The team was stationed in Wufanyuan, three miles away from Fengxian County.

The original five fans are at the foot of Maple Leaf Mountain.

They are located southeast of Gofan Plain.

The 50,000 soldiers led by the commander Xie Jing were in the northwest direction of Wufan Plain.

The distance between the two armies was about seven or eight miles.

50,000 soldiers have gathered, and there is a large barracks on the five plains.

To go to Shuzhou, you must pass through the Wufan Plain from the northwest, that is, you must pass through the camp of Xie Jing's department.

It's just that Xie Jing is not in his camp at this moment.

He was by Li Chen'an's side.

"Once each was its own master, and you, as a commander, obeyed Yu Wanzhi and Song Shiming, which is not a big mistake in the eyes of this king."

Xie Jing never expected that the young regent would say this lightly.

He thought he would be harshly reprimanded by the regent, and he would not even beat himself with a whip.

Because of what he did, if he didn't know the truth, he was really rebelling!

But at this moment, Xie Jing did not show Li Chenan the truth behind this matter.

He wanted to see how big the Lord Regent really was.

He hurriedly bowed and said meaninglessly: "Regent, this is a villain who is confused for a while!" ”

Li Chenan waved his hand and pointed to the lights of thousands of homes in Feng County, which were faintly visible in the distance, "You didn't go into the city to disturb the people, which shows that you still have some conscience." ”

"By the way, I remember that you once served as a general of Dingyuan in the Western Frontier Army......"

Li Chenan turned his head to look at Xie Jing with a smile on his face: "Under the command of the great general Wu Mian, right?" ”

"When Wu Mian was transferred to Kyoto by the emperor as a general, he brought you back from the western border army and put you in Jiangnan Province."

"Do you remember that Wu Mian also had a chariot general Xia Yunhu in his hand back then?"

Xie Jing never expected that this young regent would know his name and his own experience.

It has been nearly 20 years since he left the Western Frontier Army.

He served as a military commander in Jiangnan Province...... said that he was the commander, but it was Song Shiming, the governor of Jiangnan Province, who really held the military power.

The general told himself not to fight.

also told himself to turn a blind eye and deserve to spend the rest of his life in Jiangnan.

Rest......

I was in my early twenties!

It's the time of its prime.

The rest of my life is a long time.

But the days of leisure were indeed more pleasant than those of the tense days and nights of the army on the western frontier.

I seem to be slowly getting used to it, slowly degenerating.

I gradually learned how to enjoy it.

He didn't ask anything but the three thousand soldiers who trained him.

This lie is twenty years.

The family is settled in Pingjiangcheng, with a wife and three children.

should have grown old indifferently, and then died quietly.

Unexpectedly, Ning Guo suddenly changed the sky.

I didn't expect the regent to come to Jiangnan.

He Xie Jing does not belong to the Ji Tai line.

Song Shiming asked him to lead his troops to kill the regent, which forced him to choose a position.

This bit is actually not difficult to stand on.

He didn't need Huang He to give him any ideas, he knew what to do next.

Because when General Wu Mian led his troops to Wuyaguan last year, he passed through Jiangnan Province and met with him.

He really wanted to follow the general to the front line of Wuyaguan, but the general refused.

General Wu didn't say much.

Just told him one sentence -

"Anyone in the world can die, but the regent must not have any accidents!"

"You...... Just stay in Gangnam-do! ”

"Jiangnan Province is the top priority of Ningguo, and the regent will go down to Jiangnan."

The regent did come.

Song Shiming doesn't know how to lead troops to fight at all, he is still afraid of death!

He really put the command of 50,000 soldiers into his own hands.

He led the army of 50,000 and did not enter the city.

Instead, it was stationed in the northwest of Gofan Plain.

It's not to guard the regent to the northwest, but Xiahou Zhuo's soldiers will come from the northwest!

He Xie Jing's original purpose was not to besiege and kill the regent Li Chen'an as Song Shiming gave him, but to prevent Xiahou Zhuo from waving his army south!

He didn't know what kind of person this regent who held the power of Ning Guo was.

He only heard that this lord's poetry and articles were good, and he was named a poet immortal by the emperor!

He also heard that the regent was the eldest son of the lost emperor...... He asked General Wu Mian about this, and Wu Mian was silent for a long time before nodding.

This move made him quite suspicious.

Then I heard that he was with Xi Wei's daughter...... The account of the Hou Mansion is on Xi Wei's head!

But what made him strange was that General Wu was originally a cronie and slave waiting for Lu Zhanxiao to get on the bus, but General Wu didn't seem to have the intention of looking for Xi Wei to take revenge.

He went to the Endless Pass.

He said he still didn't know who Xi Wei was.

He also said that Xi Wei's daughter followed the regent, so why not?

Many things were beyond his understanding of Xie Jing, and he found that he was no longer a pure soldier in the Western Frontier Army back then.

He shouldn't have thought about things that had nothing to do with war.

What he had to consider was how to ensure the safety of the regent and how to exterminate Xiahou Zhuo's troops in Wufan Plain.

Gathering his thoughts, he bowed again:

"Back to the regent, when the last general was in the western border army, he did know Xia Yunhu, and we are still very good friends!"

"Oh, then do you know that Xia Yunhu became a deputy in the Imperial City Division...... He betrayed the Imperial City Division? ”

Xie Jing sighed for three breaths: "The last general has heard of it." ”

"Then based on your understanding of Xia Yunhu, why do you think he rebelled?"

"This ......"

Xie Jing looked up at Li Chen'an, "The last general thinks that there must be something hidden in this. ”

"Xia Yunhu has made outstanding achievements in the western border army, he is very good with the soldiers in his hands, and he also gets along with us in robes...... He wasn't a man with ambitions for power, and he did that...... It doesn't make sense! ”

Li Chenan grinned and said something that made Xie Jing scratch his head-

"Then I'll be relieved."

"Since you came on your own initiative...... Do you know that Xiahou Zhuo also came with 30,000 border soldiers? ”

"He's coming to kill me, you see, I'm just a thousand......"

Xie Jing clenched his fists, his face was sincere and serious:

"Xiahou Zhuo handed it over to the last general!"

Li Chen'an was slightly taken aback by these words, and he asked suspiciously:

"But the combat effectiveness of the government soldiers ...... Do you think you can resist Xiahou Zhuo's 30,000 elites? ”

"Back to the regent, the three thousand guards of the last general are trained by the last general, and they are the main force in this battle!"

"The last general will definitely do his best to kill Xiahou Zhuo!"

"Are you going to fight Xiahou Zhuo head-on?"

"The last general wants the regent's permission!"

"No!"

Li Chenan stretched out his hands and helped Xie Jing's bent body upright.

"The courage of the horseman is good, but it is even better to be able to outwit!"

"Then you listen, do what the king wants!"

"The last general will listen to you!"

Xiao Baozi stood in the night breeze and looked at the bright starry sky.

Her ears moved slightly, and she heard what Li Chen'an said to General Xie.

She raised her eyebrows, this cow is really bad!

I just like the bad in his bones!
