On this day, the capital was busy and tense.

The saint summoned the Marquis of Dingbei, and discussed with several important ministers, and the will was spread one after another.

Before noon, Ji Xin, the second son of Dingbei Hou, was the vanguard and led his troops to rush to Yumen Pass.

All the arrangements for grain, grass and military supplies are in full swing, and the right attendant of the military department even led people to Jingzhou Mansion to be responsible for the transfer of east and west.

As for the Beihou himself, after counting the generals, he will lead the army to set off at noon tomorrow.

Xu Jian was divided into the third batch of reinforcements.

About three days later, the troops of the nearby state capital were assembled at the Gyeonggi camp, and Xu Jian led the westward march.

This arrangement was regarded by the court as Xu Jian's helpless nod and protection from the queen saint.

Regardless of the vanguard army, even the second batch of troops led by the Marquis of Dingbei will select a part of the troops to quickly reinforce them according to the battle situation reported by the front line on the way.

That is, the third batch of additional troops, which can be relatively relaxed.

Xu Jian went to the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

Ren Min, the right attendant, had already packed up and walked out with a few of his officials.

The two sides greeted each other and greeted each other.

After thinking about it, Ren Min still spoke up and asked Xu Jian to take a step to speak.

After Xu Jian returned to Beijing two years earlier, he worked in the Ministry of War, and at that time it seemed to be a mixed day, but Ren Min still took good care of him.

Among them, there is naturally the grace of the old auxiliary prince when he was alive, and Ren Min never hesitated to take care of Xu Jian when he was able to mention it.

The same is true today.

"Grandpa Guo insists on going, take care of your body," Ren Min said, "I set off a few days earlier than you, but I don't think I can go as fast as you on the road."

After that, I will be in Jing'an City, and if you have any situation in Yumen, just send someone to look for me.

I don't dare to say anything about big things, but if I can help, you don't have to be polite. ”

Xu Jian laughed: "I'm not a polite person, if you don't believe it, Lord Ren will ask Commander Yin and Wan of Shan Mansion next time." ”

Ren Min was laughed at by him.

"Lord Ren is stationed in Jing'an," Xu Jian thought for a while, and whispered to Ren Min in a suppressed voice, "There is a county prince surnamed Yu in Chengyuan County under the rule of Jingzhou, although he is a donor official, I heard that he is very serious and down-to-earth, if Lord Ren still needs manpower in the local area, he may wish to consider him." ”

Ren Min knew it in his heart.

His task in Jing'an was very heavy, and in addition to the people brought by Jingli, he also had to cooperate with local officials.

Although it is not clear how Yu Xiancheng got the way of Fuguo Gong, who is not using it?

As long as it is easy to use, he can do practical and good things, regardless of whether he is a champion or a donor.

If it is actually embarrassing, then he doesn't need to give Fu Guogong this face.

The truth in this is certainly clear to the people of the auxiliary country.

After the two sides finished speaking, Ren Min beckoned the people and set off first.

Xu Jian still walked into the military department, and met Li Shao, who came to watch the government.

Li Shao looked Xu Jian up and down for a while, his eyes fell on his right leg, and said strangely: "Who are you not giving face?" ”

Xu Jian raised his eyes and looked at Li Shao standing on the steps: "The minister didn't understand what His Highness meant. ”

"I thought you were pretending to be injured, at least your injuries were not as serious as you appeared, but everyone told me that you were badly injured," Li Shao snorted, "Last year, I was scolded by a group of ministers of civil and military affairs for this, all because of me, so that you can no longer fight and kill the enemy." They scolded the crowd passionately, you are good, please go on the expedition again. ”

Xu Jian's face did not change.

Li Shao's words, if you want to say how yin and yang are weird, in fact, you can't talk about it.

After all, Xu Jian is well versed in the way of yin and yang, and in his place, Li Shao's words are not even a little witch.

As for Li Shao wanting to find trouble, he didn't get there.

"Your Highness," Xu Jian said lightly, "The minister has been treating his injuries, and now he has some results, since he can still contribute to Dashun, the minister will naturally not be left behind." ”

"You just need to weigh it yourself," Li Shao said, "You are the one who thinks you still have the strength to spare, and you are the one who insists on asking for help, this time it has nothing to do with me anyway, if you have any trouble in Yumen, don't count it on my head." In the future, the imperial historians will scold me for this, and you will reason with them. ”

Xu Jian should go down.

Li Shao's face was slightly pale, and he walked down the steps: "I see that my father is also very worried, so I listed you as the third batch." ”

"The Holy Lord does have some considerations," Xu Jian said, "His Royal Highness came to the military department at the beginning of the year, Lord Shangshu and they are all busy, it just so happened that I used to be here to understand some of the situation, and the Holy Lord asked me to take advantage of the fact that I was still in the capital for these two days, and then led you to observe the government for two more days." ”

Of course, this is just another reason on the surface.

Those rumors of "protection", Xu Jian will not go to his heart, or rather, the more violent the better.

The real situation is that the Gyeonggi Daying garrison cannot be negligent.

The troops of the nearby state capital gathered in Gyeonggi, Xu Jian ordered some of the troops to take away, and An Yibo was in charge of the rest, cooperating with the subsequent dispatch operation to guard against Li Du's follow-up moves.

Not only to lure the snake out of the hole, but also to be prepared.

All afternoon, the officers in the military headquarters were busy with their feet on the ground.

When the sky was about to darken, Yumen's military report finally arrived in Beijing and was quickly sent to the imperial study.

It was said that in the middle of the night, the Xiliang people suddenly attacked Yumen Pass, the horn sounded the sky, and the defenders repelled the enemy, but they saw the enemy army formation in the distance in a piece of fish belly white.

On the banner erected, in addition to Xiliang, there is also Gu Yue, which is violent, and it looks like it is going to fight for a long time.

According to the scouts, there are reinforcements in the follow-up of the enemy formation.

Therefore, Yumen lit the wolf smoke and went to Beijing to ask for help.

In Cining Palace, Lin Yunyan accompanied the Queen Mother to dinner, and talked again, before waiting for Xu Jian to come over.

The Queen Mother's spirit looks much better than in the morning.

"I've given everything I have to say," she said earnestly, "and you go and get ready." ”

When the two left the palace, they did not return to the house immediately, but went to the Sincerity Bofu first.

The adjacent Dingbei Hou Mansion is brightly lit, Ji Xin has set off before noon, and Dingbei Hou will also leave tomorrow, and the family is making arrangements.

Entered the Bofu and traveled all the way to Zaijuin.

Xiao Duan also heard about the military situation, watched the two come in, and squeezed out a smile.

Xu Jian said something to reassure the elders, and went to Lin Yu's study again.

Lin Yunyan stayed with Xiao Duan's family and saw her grandmother's shoulders hanging down.

"When I first got married, I was worried about his leg injury, and you all comforted me, saying that there was an injury in his leg, at least there was no need to worry about the battle, Grandpa Guo was a civil and military all-rounder, and he could make some achievements in the court," Xiao Duan sighed, "I have been looking forward to his leg recovery, but I didn't expect that he would be better and go into battle again." ”

Lin Yunyan laughed: "You should change your mind, you can go into battle, it means that your legs are already big, and when you return to Beijing after retreating from the enemy, you can go together with the civil and military forces, and you can go wherever you want." ”

Xiao Duan's was not laughing or smiling when she said it.

At the end, holding Lin Yunyan's hand, Xiao Duan said: "Since it is all a settled matter, the old woman will not say anything more frustrating."

Our Lin family has never produced a military general, but it has also been adjacent to the Beihou Mansion for many years, and the general's aunt has cried and mourned just because he went out of the battle, which is really funny.

Uncle will leave Beijing this time, to say the least, it will take a few months, if you can't stand it, just come back here.

Yun Fang wishes you could talk to her funny.

Yes, you can't come back all the time, there are still Mrs. Xu and Miss Wan at home, you have to cheer up a little more. ”

Lin Yunyan smiled and said okay.

In the study, Xu Jian talked with Lin Yu for a long time.

The view of the battle situation, the conjecture of the layout of Su Yi, Li Du and others, and the plan for how much support can be obtained in the future.

The battle of Yumen was not only a retreat from the enemy, but also an indispensable step to prevent Li Shao Dongshan from rising again in the future.

That's an hour less.

By the time the young couple returned to the Fuguo Mansion, it was already late at night.

In the inner courtyard, Xu Yi did not rest, still waiting for them, and when he learned that the two of them were back, he found the main courtyard.

Before the words came out, his eyebrows were full of worry.

Xu Yi will not complain about "why is it so sudden and non-negotiable", nor will she cry and stop "not allowed to go, not allowed to go", she is just worried, worried about Xu Jian's legs.

She said: "I asked the doctor, and the doctor said that although you have improved a lot, you are still a little reluctant to go out and kill the enemy." ”

"I discussed it with Dingbei Hou, and his idea was to let me guard the customs and cooperate with the dispatch in the customs." Xu Jiandao.

When Xu Yi heard this, he was a little relieved.

Each in the army has its own responsibilities, some people are the vanguard, some people are stable materials, some people are arranging troops, some people are charging into battle, each has its own difficulties, and each has its own merits.

Xu Jian knows what to do and will not be chaotic.

Xu Yi thought, that is a battlefield, Ah Jian knows the weight of a person so well, if his body is not good, he will definitely not be willing to drag others back.

"That's good, that's good," Xu Yi said, "It's not too early, you still have a lot to prepare, I'll go back first." ”

Xu Jian sent her out.

In the night wind, the crescent moon is covered by clouds, leaving only a hazy light.

Xu Jian didn't listen to Xu Yi, and sent her all the way to the inner courtyard: "You take care of yourself and Ahuan at home, and I will come back safely." ”

Xu Yi's eyes were red, and he nodded heavily.

Following.

Xu Jian looked for Dr. Zhang.

"I left Beijing this time, I have been gone for a few months, if you want to continue to stay in the capital, then you still live in the house, if you want to go back to Guanzhong, I will arrange for someone to send you back." Xu Jiandao.

Doctor Zhang didn't answer, motioned for Xu Jian to sit down, and reached out and pressed on his leg a few times.

"It's not the old man who poured cold water," he said, "Grandpa Guo is going to Yumen, it's better not to confront people head-on, or not to confront."

If you ride out to kill the enemy for an hour, you can make your leg hurt for three or five days, once or twice, and you will survive it.

After many times, it will turn into the root of old injuries and diseases, and it will follow you for more than ten years or decades. ”

"I will remember what the doctor said," Xu Jian said with a smile, "To be honest, I hope that Dr. Zhang can accompany the army, and the army needs your ability to treat muscle and bone injuries." ”

Doctor Zhang said bluntly: "The old man is afraid of death. ”

Otherwise, he would have been a military doctor a long time ago, hard work is hard work, but he earns much more than his pharmacy.

"I know your temper, and I don't force you," Xu Jian said, "If you are willing, you can live in Chengyuan County, not close to Yumen, not too far, some emergency injuries can bother you to treat them." Or as I said just now, the capital and Guanzhong, you decide for yourself. ”

Doctor Zhang didn't decide immediately, and thought about it seriously for a whole day before giving Xu Jian an answer.

He's going to Chengyuan.

"We are doctors, and we treat people's wounds, and there is no reason to heal half of them."

"Although this injured patient is really disobedient and often does things that go against the doctor's orders, the old man will not give up halfway when he saves people to the end."

"If the battle situation is not right, the old man will definitely turn his head and run, don't point at the old man carrying a nail rake to block the Xiliang horse."

In a few words, not only did Xu Jian laugh, but Lin Yunyan also laughed non-stop.

Another person who wants to go west is Yu Chengan.

That day, I stood in the British Mansion for most of the day, thinking a lot, and I thought about talking to Xu Jian again in the near future, but I didn't know that the border war broke out, and Xu Jian went on the expedition.

After thinking about it, Yu Cheng thought about it, and then moved the idea of joining the army, so he mentioned it to the security guard.

The security guard Hou Mu looked at his grandson with a face.

That's right.

A few days ago, he was still scolding his grandson for not being motivated, and he deserved not to even get his favorite girl back to be his daughter-in-law......

It's just that this step is a bit big.

From the king of crickets in the capital, he crossed to the small soldiers of Yumen.

Pulling his old man's crotch!

But the grandson is motivated, do you want to fight the elders?

With this blow, it will be difficult to drag him back from the cricket road in the future.

Besides, their Yu family is also a credit on horseback, can he still stop the younger generation from going to the battlefield again?

"You have ambition, I appreciate it," the security guard Hou pondered and used a less shocking statement, "You haven't practiced martial arts well for a long time, can you kill the people of Xiliang?" ”

Yu Cheng'an said: "You forgot, there were drunkards looking for trouble before, and I drank too much and didn't have a heavy ...... on my hands."

The security guard waved his hand to signal him to shut up.

The stinky boy talks about fist and foot kung fu, and he can really fight.

"Can those wine bags and rice bags be the same as the Xiliang people?" The security guard Hou blew his beard, "Don't underestimate the enemy!" ”

It should be answered, and the advice is not daring to be less.

After the admonition, he asked Yu Chengan to go to see his grandmother and others, and handed him the fold to the imperial study to face the saint.

When the saint heard that the grandson of the Yu family intended to join the army, he was immediately interested.

"I also told the Empress Dowager last time that half of the gentlemen in Beijing can change their ways and return to righteousness, and the court can have a lot of useful talents. Obviously, when I was a child, I was quite decent, but when I was older, I didn't like it. Your family Cheng'an has a heart to do well, and it is also a role model. He has a good relationship with Xu Jian, right? Let him set off with Xu Jian. ”

The security guard Hou received a lot of praise, but he was more happy than worried, and after returning home, he asked Yu Chengan to go to the Fuguo Mansion by himself.

Yu Cheng'an comforted his worried grandmother and tearful mother, and was driven out of the door by his grandfather with two jars of good wine and a jar of good tea.

It's also a coincidence.

Yu Cheng'an entered the Fuguo Mansion, and before he walked to the flower hall, he saw Lin Yunyan who was sending off guests.

And that guest was Zhu Fei.

The two hatchbacks looked at each other, and they were slightly surprised by each other.

Zhu Fei came here for her uncle's business.

Last time, Lin Yunyan asked about Chengyuan County and said a few words, Zhu Fei originally thought that in the past two years, something would happen in Chengyuan that would attract the attention of the court, she guessed that it was the imperial history patrol Jingzhou Mansion, and it was not until the war broke out that she suddenly realized.

The family was worried about the situation of the uncle, but Zhu Fei still came after thinking about it.

Unexpectedly, when he left, he would meet Yu Chengan.

I'll see you tomorrow, folks.
