boom.
After a long silence, Tian Hongyan suddenly slammed the table.
"Come here, prepare your horses."
This is the frontier. Just in case, the guards gathered quickly.
"General, where are we going?"
Tian Hongyan raised his head and looked west, silently uttering a word.
"Go to Rock Frontier Fortress."
Both the current prince and Chen Xiuzhu have ambiguous attitudes towards the Yanhui Legion's previous behavior of disregarding the lives and deaths of friendly troops and blatantly absent from the Dingxi counterattack, so they should not be afraid.
But Ren Ning, as the iron-blooded general who led the team to fight on the battlefield, was definitely different from the two of them.
Tian Hongyan had to guard against it.
Tap tap tap.
Horse hooves flying.
The group of people hurried away and successfully arrived at the Yankuo Fortress at nightfall.
When he arrived at the gate of the general's mansion, he was stopped by Shengsheng.
"Sorry, General Tian, our general is not here right now."
Tian Hongyan frowned.
He raised his head and looked at the sky, "It is already dark now and General Huo is not in the house. Where has he gone?"
The guard didn't hide anything from him, he raised his hand and pointed far away to the east.
"General Tian, it's already mid-March. General Huo should have gone to the east of Luoxia Mountain. But I don't know the specific place."
Tian Hongyan suddenly realized.
Soon the group of people looked at each other with strange expressions on their faces.
March to October every year is the recruitment season for Yunchui.
Yanjie Fortress has been fighting for several years, and now it is indeed short of soldiers.
But Huo Ling is a dignified general who defends the fortress. Why would he have to take action personally for such a trivial matter as conscription?
Tian Hongyan said a few more half-beliefs and half-questions before confirming that Huo Ling was really not in the fortress.
"Do you know when General Huo will come back?"
The soldier shook his head, "We are the gatekeepers, how can we possibly know the general's specific itinerary?"
However, as a general who defends the fortress, he must not be away from the stronghold for a long time.
Moreover, the imperial envoy sent by Xingji City is still wandering around the fortress.
Although Huo Ling is not afraid of investigation, he must be on guard against others and must be alert to deal with it.
I guess I'll be back in a few days.
Tian Hongyan nodded, turned around and walked towards the Yingling Legion's station.
As a result, Kong Chunhui was also not at the station, and he probably returned to his hometown, Yingling County.
"Not even here, what a coincidence."
Tian Hongyan had no choice but to return to his home base with his guards.
It was already late at night, but the generals and military advisors of the Yanhui Corps received the news and were waiting outside the Chinese army.
Entered the conference hall.
A military advisor couldn't wait to ask: "General, I wonder if you should rush to the fortress. What happened?"
Tian Hongyan was silent for a long time.
"It's nothing." He raised his hand and pointed to the west, and his words almost caused the hearts of everyone in the hall to stop.
"Xiliang is currently experiencing civil strife. The two major tribes, Blood Moon and Angel, are fighting inextricably. It is a good time to drive them away or even eliminate them. I am going to add fuel to the fire..."
Tian Hongyan was a little distracted as he spoke.
After reading the contents of the newspaper clearly in the afternoon, he suddenly felt an ominous omen in his heart.
We can only think of ways to prevent Ren Ning from taking the throne, and at the same time prepare to make some remedies in other aspects.
For example, he took the initiative to attack Xiliang to clear his reputation of avoiding war and fearing enemies.
As the saying goes, you have to be tough with both hands.
Even if Ren Ning sits on the dragon throne in the end, he has already made up for his mistakes. He may be punished, but his crime will not lead to death.
Everyone in the hall was suddenly stunned.
It seems that they and Tian Hongyan have become one body, and they both prosper and suffer.
If Tian Hongyan is recalled to Xingji City for accountability or even beheaded, their subordinates will not fare much better and will most likely be dismissed from their posts and investigated.
As for sending troops to Xiliang, it is a big deal. They really need to communicate with the fortress and the Yingling Legion.
However, some people were very unconvinced.
"General, the fortress and the Yingling Legion are far from recovering, and they will definitely not leave. Why don't we just go into the grassland ourselves."
Thinking back to the original Dingxi counterattack, Xia Bangwei and a group of Dingxi guards were able to penetrate the guards at the Yangguan ancient road entrance and fight all the way to Peishi City. They were invincible.
What's more, they are still a majestic border guard regiment. Are they not as good as mere guards?
Moreover, the Yanhui Army has many strong generals, including cavalry, cavalry, infantry, and infantry. There is no need to be so humble.
boom!
Suddenly someone took out a letter from home and slammed it on the table.
"Brothers, a letter from the family came to my hometown some time ago. It scolded us quite badly, saying that we... have disgraced the Yanhui people. Don't go back to our hometown in the future."
well.
The man's face turned red with anger.
"General, if we can't go to the fortress, then we will go by ourselves. Do a good job and let others see if our Yanhui Legion is a coward."
To be honest, I have been reading books recently to catch up on updates, switch sources, read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple. 】
Many people nodded.
They also had a similar experience. They were also frustrated and always wanted to find a chance to prove themselves.
"Yes, General, as long as you give the order, we will do it ourselves."
Tian Hongyan seemed as if he hadn't heard anything, and silently glanced at the crumpled family letter on the table without saying anything.
He, Huo Ling and Kong Chunhui all had the same military rank, so it was hard to say who was higher and who was lower.
But Huo Ling also has an identity as the Duke of Zhenguo, which is much higher than their title.
Not to mention Tian Hongyan, even if the Xingluo Army moved to the west, Wei Junqian still had to listen to Huo Ling according to the provisions of Yunchui Law.
"Everyone, I understand your feelings. However, we still have to take a long-term approach and try our best to gain General Huo's consent regarding sending troops to Xiliang."
"Let's do this. Everyone, go back and make a good battle plan. We will discuss it in detail later. I will guarantee here that there will definitely be a time in the near future when you can show off your skills."
"Yes!" Everyone was happy.
————
Guangxin County, General Mansion.
Yingpan and Li Hezhu sat opposite each other, and they were speechless for a long time.
The news from the newspapers and the windmill was so unexpected that they didn't recover for a long time.
Didn’t he just marry a knife-headed general whose head was pinned to his belt?
Why did he suddenly become a member of the royal family?
Even if you compare carefully with other princes and princes, the lofty dragon throne seems to be only a few feet away.
After a long while, Li Hezhu gently touched his belly.
"Panpan, you have also read the news from the windmill. The imperial edict to crown the king will arrive in the next two days. Get ready and go to the Ancestral Temple to place the royal jade plate."
According to the rules, only by being on the royal jade plate can one be considered a true member of the royal family.
"This..." Yingpan hesitated.
The royal family says that rules are not necessarily rules, but even if they say there are no rules, they have some rules.
For example, ordinary people can marry ordinary wives, but royal families can only have one head wife at most.
If Yingpan goes to the Royal Jade Plate, then Li Hezhu will have to live as a concubine in the future.
"Sister Li, is my identity a little sensitive?"
Yingpan looks just like an ordinary Yunchui person, and Ren Ning was just an ordinary general before, and no one would delve into the exact identity of her wife.
But if the royal jade plate is to be used, then Yingpan's eighteen generations of ancestors will probably be thoroughly investigated by the Jinlin Guards.
By then, her identity as a member of the Kailun tribe would no longer be able to be concealed, and it might bring trouble to Ren Ning.
But if it were an ordinary concubine, Jin Linwei would not even look at her, let alone check her background.
Li Hezhu smiled slightly.
"I am pregnant now, so it is not suitable to travel long distances. Moreover, Yun Chui has a rule that foreigners cannot become queens. Our husband is now lost to everyone, and your status as a Kailun can reduce his hostile gaze a lot."
Speaking of this, she paused.
"The most important thing is that Princess Yiguang lets you go."
"So you better go."
After speaking, Li Hezhu glanced at Ren Zhan in the nanny's arms.
Once Ying Pan becomes the royal concubine, Ren Zhan, the eldest son, will become the eldest son of Prince Ning.
Whether she gives birth to a boy or a girl in the future, there will be less disputes in the family.
"But," Yingpan spread her hands and laughed, "so far, our husband has not said whether he is willing to become Prince Ning."
First latest.
