After Ning Lin arrived in the royal capital, only a year later, he officially went to train the new army in the spring, but the situation changed faster and more complicated than he imagined.
Winter was originally the time for the Three Barbarians to attack, but after solving the troubles of Zhao State, Ning Chengfu, a dazzling general in Great Xia, actually set up an ambush for the Three Barbarians in winter, and for the first time killed more than 10,000 enemies in a field battle, completely defeating the enemy. It reversed Daxia's fear of the Three Barbarians fighting.
Such a result also put greater pressure on the Wei Dynasty, because the attitude of the Daxia Kingdom began to become tougher, and even the remnants of the Qing Kingdom in Daxia began to clamor for the restoration of the Qing Kingdom.
Sun Zan has become the busiest person in Wei today. Fortunately, although he is already over fifty years old, he is still strong and can travel to various countries with ease. However, there are some things that he cannot change.
Wei Nao had the idea of killing the now white King Qing, because the former King Qing was Shu Yan's son after all, so Ning Lin naturally objected, which made Wei Nao very dissatisfied, and Ning Lin even guaranteed it with his head. Only then did Wei Nao reluctantly agree, but it turned out that those people in Qingguo were even more under surveillance.
This incident seemed to be just a minor incident. After that, Ning Lin began to train his army with peace of mind. However, along with this incident, it caused a thorn in the hearts of the surrendered ministers of the Qing Kingdom.
When Ning Lin was here, everything was stable on the Qingguo side, and they even took the initiative to help fight against the Dai troops. However, following this incident, the Qingguo side began to become passive and sabotage.
If it was just like this, Jiang Heng could still control it with his ability, but as Ning Lin left, those noble children who wanted to have military exploits came again.
In the winter of the eighth year of the Yuan Dynasty, it was not the first winter before Wei Nao left. Everyone would have thought that in the light snowfall, Dai Guo's small army would brave the light snow to attack the Wei army. The generals of the important city were very drunk. When I woke up from a hangover, the enemy troops had not yet reached the city. Then, facing the besieging enemy troops, they actually surrendered directly in battle, taking the 10,000 soldiers in the city with them. He became a prisoner of Dai.
When Ning Lin found out about that incident, he was so angry that the worst option in the situation was actually to cut off his strength and give up the eight prefectures and eleven counties of Fengshui County, and stop the loss at the cost of nearly half of Fengshui County. As long as we have soldiers and horses, we cannot regain the lost summer in winter. Unfortunately, my pressure is too little for Ning Lin. Wei Nao has been withdrawn even though he has been winning small battles there. If he loses as soon as he comes, how could he be so bad before? , so he took the risk to lure the enemy deep and wanted to risk fighting the opponent.
"You are just comparing your feelings with others. Xiaojia thinks, after the Northwest has been defeated, your training will be in the first year and the new army will be deployed. At that time, you will rely on Jiang Heng. Could it be that you rely on this person? I want you to say, you are Jiang Heng The soldiers who have been trained are being paid by Jiang Heng. It is worthwhile to work hard with Jiang Heng. If the situation was stabilized before, but then the leader is afraid that Jiang Heng will be inferior and the leader will replace him. Do you think the new ones will be less interesting to you? bad."
"It's a pity that Your Majesty only favors Jiang Heng because of his beauty, and is afraid that Jiang Heng's merits will be underestimated. They know that I brought Jiang Heng's father, Prince Lin, to Wu Chu, and so did your Wei State. Even in Qing State, they said whether I had any credit or not, so did Prince Lin. Those who are born with low skills are often said to be able to live over a hundred years old, but those who are seventy years old can only live in old age."
"But, although Jiang Heng's merits are greater than those of my father, he still made a lot of achievements by working beside Prince Lin back then. Now it's great to be on his own. Your Majesty is really short-sighted."
"Your Majesty was right to wait for you or not. He specially sent a flock of sheep during the Chinese New Year." When they saw that the Huotou Army had finished slaughtering sheep, some excited soldiers couldn't help but start cooing.
The small army surrounding the enemy did not surround the enemy. Instead, the defeat opened a gap in their own side of the encirclement. This allowed Dai's small army to seize the opportunity to charge fiercely, and Wei was completely defeated.
"The marshal is really bad to you little soldiers. To be honest, when you are a soldier, you will not be able to eat meat except during the Chinese New Year. Besides that, you will not be able to eat meat on the first and seventeenth day of every month. Eat meat. Although the marshal is tolerant to you and others, he is a famous marshal. This Marshal Jiang is also a famous marshal. As a result, when he went to the northwest of Qing Kingdom, he was defeated miserably by Dai Guo's small army. It would have been better to have Jiang Heng. "
"But yes, my little family has seen your marshal's wife in the past two days. This King Qing has come to the throne. When she was the king, she was also wearing gold and jade. Didn't she notice that now this lady under her They all had no decent jewelry, only a silver hairpin stuck under their heads. The court originally planned to train only 100,000 new troops, but because the war was beneficial, the number was increased to 700,000, but the salary was only more than training 100,000 troops. It increased by 20%. That year, the marshal had to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to ask for salary money. If he had enough, he would pay for it himself." The insider told the truth again.
Hearing those words, the officers and soldiers who had originally had no intention of changing their minds changed their minds. Rumors like that were spreading everywhere in the entire new military camp, and there were not one or two people like that spreading the word in every place. What's beautiful in the eyes is that the New Year's Eve is behind us, the new army has passed and the soldiers are allowed to go home, so they can only spend their time in the military camp, which makes the recruits less resentful.
"So Jiang Heng paid for it out of his own pocket?"
Unfortunately, the initial plan was successful. Several generals promoted by Wei Nao, including the seven Huang Sen brothers, performed well and decisively led the place into an encirclement. However, when the encirclement was implemented, the two groups had not successfully encircled them, but they happened to Ning Shuai's beloved concubine's brother-in-law, Wang Hu, the eldest son of Wang Jiangman, who was also a famous marshal at that time, brought 70,000 troops, but was completely driven away by Dai Guoshi's reserve army in front of the 20,000 palace.
Later in the morning, we saw that at the entrance of the camp, groups of sheep were being driven back. Apparently, they were going to reward everyone at the New Year's Eve.
The bad thing was that Ning Lin was also a famous commander after all, and Huang Sen and others rushed to open a bloody path, and finally managed to gather the remaining soldiers and go back.
"He should stop talking nonsense. He is so careless that he loses his head."
"What do they know? Marshal Jiang in the west suffered a small defeat. How much money did the imperial court need to spend to appease the west? Those sheep were brought over from the east capital by the marshal, and Prince Lin used his own money to reward you half a year later." An insider revealed the information that was already known to the public at this time.

News of Ning Lin's Xiaobai came. Ning Shuai was holding Wang Guifei's newborn son in his arms. His interest was very wrong. But when the news reached his ears, Ning Shuai's face changed. He even looked at the baby in his arms. The son's eyes changed.
At this time, Wei Nao was leading 700,000 new troops at the foot of the southern foot of Canglong Mountain.
Among the 700,000 horses, the young masters were all wealthy children. Many of them had smelled the fishy smell for several years. Seeing such a herd of sheep, one by one ran out of patience.
It's just that in that battle, nearly half of the 700,000-strong army was lost. It would have been bad to give up eight states and eleven counties, but now in order to preserve their strength, they had to push them all to Chongshan County.
