At the time of the emergency reorganization within the Montenegrin Army, the autumn harvest activities in the Montenegrin region had already reached the season. Due to the fact that there were more than 100,000 local army captives left behind during the first imperial court's encirclement and suppression of Montenegro to open up wasteland and farmland, and because of the bumper harvest brought by the second and third imperial court encirclement and suppression armies to send grain and materials, the warehouses in Montenegro were also full for a while, and the newly built Montenegrin army not only did not levy a grain from the local people, but also opened warehouses and released grain to help the people in some areas with barren land and poor lives.

More than 100,000 local army prisoners stayed in Montenegro for more than half a year, making great contributions to Montenegro's grain production, and Mo Cong did not embarrass them.

At the same time, Fang Tianhao, Hou Shensi and other senior generals of the Central Army Guard were released, they made great contributions to the interception of the right guard in the mutiny two years ago, and they also paid a heavy price in the Battle of Montenegro more than a month ago.

When he was about to be released, the others didn't react much, but Fang Tianhao repeatedly asked Gao Lingfei, Ding Xiaolong and others, who was in command of the Montenegrin Army in the southern front of Montenegro more than a month ago, and he still couldn't accept the fiasco of the total annihilation of the Sixth Guard Battalion within three days, and he had been thinking about the battle situation at that time every day for more than a month, and he had lingering palpitations every day.

"It's been so long since the battle has been over, who are you in command, go back early to clean up the remnants of the guard and go about your own business. Gao Lingfei didn't want to reveal any inside information, but just sent a group of people out of the customs under the guise of haha.

"Lord Fang, let's go back, don't look at it. Hou Shensi saw that Fang Tianhao was still looking back at the incomparably solid passes in Montenegro, and couldn't help but persuade.

"It's the first time I've led a soldier to fight such a battle in so many years, it's a!" Fang Tianhao looked up to the sky and sighed.

"Don't think about that battle anymore, there are rumors in Montenegro that they have the help of immortals. Gao Lingfei and others also came back from the dead in a strange way, we are fighting with the gods, although we are defeated, we are still glorious. One of his subordinates also persuaded.

A few days later, Fang Tianhao waited for Shensi and others to arrive in the capital, Hang Xiao personally met with them, Fang Tianhao and the others were very ashamed, saying that the general of the defeated army was ashamed of his majesty's trust and came to ask for guilt.

"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, what a crime, you have suffered a lot of sins these days, and now that you have returned, everything is fine. The matter of military affairs will be fixed for a few days. Hang Xiao waved his hand to let them all get up, and then went to eat together.

The lunch of the day was very rich, Hang Xiao asked in detail about the battle situation at that time while eating, these people were the main force and the first insider of the southern front of Montenegro, the battle situation at that time was only known best in addition to the Montenegrin army, although the battle had already been settled, but the things that should be asked Hang Xiao still felt that it was necessary to ask, otherwise the battle would be confused and lost, and if he did not seriously summarize it, he would fail next time.

The generals told them what they had heard and seen. After a month, the only impression they had when they recalled that battle was the precision and sharpness of the Montenegrin army, the precision of the cutting and interspersed directions, the degree of accuracy of the encirclement, and the sharpness of the siege and killing. Although the outside world says that there is an element of immortal participation in this battle. But as on-site commanders, they could feel that there was no immortal factor on the battlefield at that time, but that the Montenegrin Army had clever generals in command, but they did use soldiers like gods in command.

"At that time, the Montenegrin army did not have a single point of interspersed cutting, all of them were just right and just in place, and after the encirclement was completed, there were various formations or offensive or defensive staggered. Our army launched dozens of breakout offensives, and the local troops outside also rushed inside, but the other side was always able to rush to the key place at a critical time. Not only can the defense line be blocked by various defensive formations, but also suddenly a change of formation is replaced by an offensive formation, the speed of the offensive and defensive conversion is dazzling, and the person who can use the ninety-nine formation to this extent, looking at the military circles of the country, I am afraid that there is only Chen Ruoping alone. Fang Tianhao explained the situation at that time in detail, and at the same time said his own guess.

"Chen Ruoping......" Hang Xiao muttered, Chen Ruoping had returned to Chen State a few months ago, and according to the news from Chen Guo's side, he had married into the palace and became the crown princess, how could he suddenly appear on the battlefield of Montenegro to command the soldiers and horses to defeat the army on the southern front. But when Chen Ruoping left Ruiguo, Hang Xiao felt very strange and sudden, he originally thought that Chen Ruoping was going to stay in Montenegro to marry Mo Cong, but he didn't expect to suddenly say that he would leave, and now Fang Tianhao said this, Hang Xiao felt that it was very possible.

After finishing the meal, Hang Xiao asked the generals of the guard to go to rest, and then called several Yulinwei officers who attended Hang Rui's wedding to the imperial study and inquired in detail about the situation on the wedding day. The officers of the Yulin Guard said that they were escorting the flying phoenix sedan chair to the destination, and suddenly encountered another sedan chair, and after a while, they met another one, Mo Cong's eldest brother explained that there were three brides at the wedding that day, one was the palace maid who pretended to be the county lord at that time, the other was the princess of Longguo, and the third was a local girl in Montenegro, who had known Mo Cong for a short time but had to marry Mo Cong.

"What does that girl look like...... I didn't see it because I was wearing a hijab, but it was indeed three brides at the time, and all three brides were organized according to the big wedding ceremony. A Yulinwei officer recalled.

"I heard that Governor Mo has a good relationship with the Five Poisons Sect Master, and we guessed that the bride might be the Dragon Sect Master of the Five Poisons Sect, but then Governor Mo told some martial arts people that the Dragon Sect Master refused to marry him, so we don't know who that bride is. Another Yulinwei officer said.

"Three brides......" Hang Xiao thought silently in his heart, the more he thought about it, the more he realized that one of the brides should be Chen Ruoping, otherwise there would be no such coincidence.

Asking a group of Yulinwei officers to retreat, Hang Xiao asked Jiang Bo to immediately send a letter to Lei Bao, asking Lei Bao to urgently return to Beijing to inquire about some information. The next night, Lei Leopard hurried back, and Hang Xiao immediately asked how much Lei Leopard knew about the relationship between Mo Cong and Chen Ruoping.

Mo Cong said at the time that they were indeed in that kind of relationship. Lei Bao said.

"What kind of relationship?" Hang Xiao frowned.

"That's it...... Relationships between men and women. Lei Bao said.

"Yes, did you find out that one of the three brides who married Mo Cong at that time was Chen Ruoping?" asked Hang Xiao.

"This ...... I didn't find that the image of the bride is too different from the usual image of Lord Chen, and she is also wearing a hijab, how can I find it. Lei Leopard said, "Your Majesty thinks something is wrong, why did you suddenly ask about the relationship between the two of them?"

"No, the key is that since Chen Ruoping has that kind of relationship with Mo Cong, how can she go back to Chen Guo and marry into the palace as the crown princess, isn't this nonsense?" Hang Xiao saw that Lei Bao hadn't reacted yet, and said angrily.

"This ...... It seems that it is indeed nonsense, but if Lord Chen does not change his identity in this way, he will not be able to marry Mo Cong, and this is also a way to do it, after all, she can't marry Mo Cong as a man. Lei Bao said.

"The key is not who she marries, the key is ...... According to Fang Tianhao's recollection, the battle on the southern front of Montenegro was commanded by Chen Ruoping. Hang Xiao's depression escalated further.

"Yes, no wonder that battle was fought so beautifully, it turned out that Lord Chen was in command. Lei Leopard muttered to himself.

"Do you want to be angry with me, the imperial court has suffered so much loss, and you still said that the battle was fought beautifully and praised Chen Ruoping's command well, which side are you on?" Hang Xiao frowned and looked at Lei Leopard, his whole body was in a sign of going crazy.

"It's not...... What I mean is that Lord Chen ended the entire Montenegrin war through the first battle on the southern front, and the actual casualties of the guards and local troops did not exceed 40,000, and all the captured personnel were released, which was already a relatively small loss for the imperial court. If Lord Chen really let go of his hand to fight, it would not only be to defeat the southern front, but also to defeat the army of the eastern and northern fronts with his backhand, after all, the situation at that time was that the army of the southern and northern lines was trapped between the passes and could not advance or retreat, and Lord Chen had 800,000 troops but did not make any attack on them, and did not make any difficulties in the process of them laying down their arms and withdrawing from Montenegro, obviously there was no hostility to the imperial court, so Your Majesty should stop thinking about it. Lei Bao said.

"Well, this is the thing, but I still feel uncomfortable in my heart, how can they fool people like this, Mo Cong, Chen Ruoping and Chen Guo teamed up to fool Ruiguo, this kind of thing is unbearable. Hang Xiao exhaled and said.

"Your Majesty, don't take this matter too seriously, Lord Chen is from Montenegro when she marries Mo Cong, of course she can command a war in Montenegro, and this has nothing to do with Chen Guo. All Chen Guo did was to help Lord Chen hide her identity, which was also to wrap up and understand what she had done when she came to Chen Guo, and there was no other action. If Your Majesty is angry with Lord Chen and angry with Chen Guo because of this matter, it will affect the relationship with Montenegro at least and the relationship with Chen Guo at the worst, so Your Majesty still has to think twice about this matter. Lei Bao said.

"You're really talking in a set of ways now, and you're getting more and more capable. Hang Xiao sighed and said, "Don't be careful, I'm not blaming you but praising you, the current position of commander of the Central Army has been vacant, I originally wanted Fang Tianhao to serve as this commander, but unfortunately he just suffered a defeat on the front line, and there is no such precedent for being promoted immediately after losing the battle, so after thinking about it, I decided to let you serve as the president of the Central Army, as for the affairs of Zuowei's side, let Xu Hu take care of it in the future, such an arrangement... What's your opinion?"

"Of course I can't ask for it, but I also know it. Lei Bao said, "With my current ability to be in charge of the left guard, it is just enough, and it is almost hot to be the president, although Fang Tianhao has suffered defeat, but he was the deputy commander of the guard during the Ding Long period, whether it is qualifications or experience, he is enough to be qualified for the position of president, His Majesty still appoints him as the president."
