The request on behalf of the prince to go to Wangxin Town was not done on a whim, but after careful consideration.
When the prince was young, the first mission he received was to garrison Wangxin Town.
At the beginning, he was young and energetic, and he only wanted to go to the border to kill the enemy, wanted to make achievements, and wanted to prove that the children of the Song family were not freeloaders. Therefore, I have never taken a fancy to this small place at all.
At that time, the borders were in chaos. The Shen Army had not yet pacified the Jiaping Pass, and Liu Shuai had not yet become the dominant tyrant in the southern border. The foreign tribes in the southwest and northwest were also watching with eager eyes. It is not surprising that the prince would have such an idea. Daxia's There is no hot-blooded man who does not yearn for the border, not to mention that he is a member of the Song family and the legitimate prince of Daxia. He must set an example, otherwise he will not have the dignity to live in this world.
But his dear father failed to let him get what he wanted, and threw him into a small town that seemed inconspicuous... at least at the time, it was a very inconspicuous town. This made Prince Dai's fiery heart suddenly break. It's half cold.
He didn't like this place, and it wasn't what he longed for, so he wasn't that concerned about guarding Wangxin Town. Until the Jin people broke through the defense lines and came towards Wangxin Town in a mighty manner, he panicked. , then he cheered up and organized garrison troops to resist foreign enemies.
That war left a deep impression on him. The 5,000 troops stationed in Wangxin Town spent seven days and nights, combined with the 10,000 forbidden troops in Xijing City, and lost most of the soldiers and local people before they could barely hold off the enemy. Jin's attack. At that time, they were able to stop the Jin people. In addition to the fact that they really tried their best to ensure the safety of Xijing City, regardless of life and death, there was also the fact that the Jin people had traveled a long distance and no longer had much energy to withstand such a fierce offensive. They could only retreat steadily. , Return to the Kingdom of Jin.
After that time, Prince Dai reflected on his mistakes and began to fulfill his responsibility as the last line of defense guard of Xijing very seriously. He completely turned Wangxin Town into an iron wall and stood solidly in Xijing. Outside the capital.
Later, the Liao and Jin people tried to break through the defense of Wangxin Town two or three times, completely rush into Xijing and occupy Xijing, but each time they were blocked by the copper and iron walls of Wangxin Town. In the following years, when the Shen Army was stationed at Jiapingguan City, the Liao and Jin people never broke through again. However, Prince Dai retired from his position as a guard because of old injuries from those years of garrisoning, and stayed in Xijing to recuperate. Living a leisurely and contented life, the legends he left behind in Wangxin Town slowly disappeared into people's memories.
Prince Dai slowly finished talking about his magnificent first half of life, looked at the few people left in the main hall, and smiled at them.
"Children of your generation have never heard of this, right?"
"Uncle Wang, you are wrong." Shen Haolin shook his head gently and pointed at Shen Cha, "These are bedtime stories from her childhood. Her father, mother, and Uncle Yan would tell her them sometimes."
"Really?" Prince Dai looked at Shen Cha in surprise, "You...all know?"
"Yeah!" Shen Cha smiled, "Uncle Wang is the person I most longed to be when I was a child."
"That's true." Prince Dai touched his nose in embarrassment, "It's quite embarrassing, so you can understand my thoughts, right?"
"Yes, Uncle Wang!" Shen Haolin and Shen Cha looked at each other and nodded at the same time, "A soldier dies in a hundred battles, and a strong man returns after ten years. But those who have really been on the battlefield, and have really fought against foreigners, ultimately yearn for a horse-leather shroud. fate." Shen Haolin looked at Song Jue, who was looking at them with his cheeks raised, "This is the greatest wish of every marshal, every general, and every soldier."
"Uncle Wang's frustration is that he had to step down from his position as guard general while he could still be stationed at Wangxin Town. However, the person who succeeded him failed to guard Wangxin Town well, and instead became a A tool for his own profit." Song Qiyun sighed, "The garrison in Wangxin Town has turned into what it is now. The one who is most heartbroken should be Uncle Wang. He wants to go back to clean up the mess and turn Wangxin Town into the legendary place again. The nephew is understandable, and..." He looked at Uncle Dai Wang and smiled at him, "I am very supportive."
"I support it too." Shen Cha also smiled at Prince Dai, "I can understand Uncle Wang's thoughts. This is the thoughts of most military generals."
"If Uncle Wang can sit in Wangxinzhen, I will naturally be happy. As long as Uncle Wang's body can hold it, I have no objection. After all, Vice Commander Lei and Captain An are young and cannot suppress those people. At the critical moment, , they can’t handle things. With Uncle Wang here, difficult things for them can be easily solved. It’s just...” Song Jue touched his chin, “I’m a little worried, Deputy Commander Lei and Captain An, originally……"
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. They are very aware of their abilities. I wish you could assign them an immediate boss!" Bai Meng sighed heavily, "It's just that, Your Majesty, Wangxin Town now is not as good as it was when you were here. , not to mention that the people have no fighting power at all, even the garrison, everyone is just a fool, but it makes the Duke and the general very angry. If you really go, don't be angry, it will hurt you. It’s not worth it for them. If they don’t obey, just teach them a lesson. Don’t embarrass yourself.”
"Don't worry, you've lived to my age, nothing can make me angry anymore." Prince Dai saw Bai Meng's look, "It's time for you to go to the battlefield to practice. It's too shameful to be stuck in the capital all the time." .”
"Your Majesty, don't you still know what is going on in the end?" Bai Meng spread his hands and looked helpless, "But I really can't defy my grandfather's will, so even if I yearn for the border , and there is nothing we can do.”
"What nonsense are you talking about? What did your grandfather mean? You have all misunderstood him!" Prince Dai rolled his eyes, "The reason why your grandfather said that is because he wanted you to leave a heir for the Bai family. After all, you Bai family If the family does not talk about the ninth generation, it is almost the same. If you go to the border and something happens, the Bai family will be completely destroyed. Your grandfather is most worried about this, not to stop you from going to the battlefield. If he really stops you, he will I won’t let you practice martial arts since you were a child, and I won’t let you become the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army!”
"Really?" Bai Meng's eyes became round, "My lord, you can't fool me!"
"What good does it do me to trust you?" Prince Dai curled his lips, "When your grandfather was seriously ill, I often went to visit you. You have an impression, right?" Seeing Bai Meng nod, he continued He said, "The two of us have had many in-depth conversations about your problem. The position of commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army is absolutely unacceptable without battlefield experience. But your grandfather is more worried about his heirs, so he thought of this." Here's a trick. So, if you want to join Haolin, Xiaocha and the others as soon as possible, you have to get married and have children, otherwise, your wish will still not be fulfilled." He looked at Song Jue, "There is no suitable girl for him. Can you introduce me?"
"Uncle Wang, don't you know?" Song Jue leaned over and showed a sly smile, "He has fallen in love with our girl."
"Our family? Jinyu?" Seeing Song Jue nodding and seeing Bai Meng looking a little embarrassed and nervous, he waved his hand on behalf of the prince, "Isn't this good? Does the Queen Mother disagree?"
"No, the queen mother is very happy, and Jin Yu also likes Xiao Baizi. However, Jin Yu's previous things have not completely passed. Now that he is married to the Bai family, some people should talk nonsense again, and they are not satisfied with Jin Yu's reputation. Great."
"That's true!" Prince Dai looked at Bai Meng with some sympathy, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, young man, please be patient for a while longer!"
