But no matter what Han Tongxin thought, he had to live on this life.

She wrote letters to Cai Ruyi from time to time to complain, and Cai Ruyi could only comfort her on paper.

Time is not too hurrying to celebrate the New Year.

The Tartars were missing in Ganzhou, and the people from the 12th Alliance gathered in Xuanfu, surrounding Xuanfu. Although Xuanfu was supported by Datong and Taiyuan, the two companies did not dare to send all their troops out. They could not fight twenty battles with the Tartars, and they had to say that they still won a lot. But they could not escape the siege of Xuanfu.

When Zhao Yi went to Cining Palace to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager, he couldn't help but feel confident when he met Jiang Xian and said proudly: "You are right. I should wait until the border war is over before going to Mount Tai for Fengshan."

Jiang Xian held back and did not scold him for being a "idiot".

The so-called "each wins and loses, and the more you win, the less you lose" in the Xuanfu war is just a text game of the generals and staff. If you win more small battles and win less big battles, what does it have to do with losing? Even if he doesn't understand the war, and the Xuanfu siege has not been relieved for so many days, he should have doubts?

Are men who are good at women so incompetent?

Don't even have basic common recognition?

At this moment, Jiang Xian felt the malice from Empress Dowager Cao.

She wrote to Li Qian to talk about this.

Since Ganzhou cleared the siege, the two of them have resumed communication.

Who knew that Li Qian hadn't returned to her for a long time?

Just as she was wondering if there was something wrong in Ganzhou and wanted to call Jiang Lu into the palace to ask, a good news suddenly came from Xuanfu.

It turned out that Li Qian brought five thousand cavalry and quietly attacked the Tartars camp from behind, caught Burigude off guard. Taiyuan General Jin Haitao and Datong General Qi Sheng took the opportunity to send troops and annihilate nearly 10,000 Tartars.

Didn’t he say he couldn’t leave the city?

Jiang Xian was stunned when he heard the news.

The Empress Dowager said with joy, "Oh" and came to inform them, Jiang Lu hurriedly said: "In this way, the siege of Xuanfu is solved by Li Qian. He has made a great contribution, right?"

Of course, the unparalleled merit is not considered a matter of merit, and the first merit cannot be eliminated. But this requires the Ministry of War to not pursue the crime of sending troops without orders. Especially where did the five thousand cavalry come from? I am afraid that the Ministry of War and the Emperor are most interested in this.

However, Li Qian is the grandson-in-law of the Empress Dowager.

If you really want to make merit, you can only ask the Empress Dowager to come forward. With the elders' respect and Zhao Yi's unreasonable trouble, everyone's attention can be made to the Empress Dowager who wants Li Qian to make meritorious contributions and reward Li Qian, to see if you can ignore Li Qian's disobeying military orders.

He entered the palace just to tell the Empress Dowager about this so that the Empress Dowager could help Li Qian to get out of trouble and lift Li Qian's siege.

The Empress Dowager didn't know where he was still happy.

Jiang Xian knew it was amazing, and instantly guessed Jiang Lu's intention to enter the palace.

No wonder this guy reported the news so timely. It turned out that there was a pit waiting for them!

But this pit cannot be skipped.

Otherwise, when the war is over, if you make merit, let alone those five thousand cavalrymen, just because Li Qian appears quietly near Xuanfu, it will be enough for Li Qian to drink a pot of money.

Jiang Xian was extremely angry.

There is no worry-free guy!

She glared at Jiang Lu fiercely, turned around and changed her smile, and said to the Empress Dowager: "Don't worry about this matter. If you have my uncle, you can't treat Li Qian badly. Besides, he is a military general, defending his country, which is what he should do, so don't spoil him too much. As long as the Ministry of War does not greedy for his merits."

The Empress Dowager nodded constantly when she heard this and said with a smile: "I know that you young people all have to rely on themselves. If you don't want to say that you have received your kindness, I don't care about this. You go and make trouble. If the Ministry of War dares to do anything, I will help you find the emperor to tell me."

Jiang Xian smiled and said "good".

Jiang Lu's eyes were already staring into copper bells, and he wanted to say something, but Jiang Xian called her outside and waited for a few words. He comforted the Empress Dowager and took a nap. Then he went out and pulled Jiang Lu's sleeve to the uninhabited side hall next to him. Before Jiang Lu could speak, he said, "The Empress Dowager is old, don't disturb her with these things, and make her worry for nothing." Then he asked Jiang Lu aggressively with a bright and clear look, "What else is Li Qian doing?"

Jiang Lu looked at Jiang Xian in shock.

Jiang Xian said impatiently: "With the emperor's secret decree, let alone 5,000 cavalry, even 10,000 troops, it can be explained. If you enter the palace in such a hurry, it is not a big deal that the dust has fallen into the ground. It must be more than just a simple matter of reporting military merits. Tell me quickly, what happened? I finally let the Empress Dowager rest. When the Empress Dowager wakes up, I still have to accompany her to practice Tai Chi, but I don't have time to guess with you here."

Jiang Lu had to accept it even if she was not convinced.

He whispered in a low spirit like a deflated ball, "You guessed it right. Regarding the five thousand horses, my father rushed to ask for it for eight hundred miles. Li Qian did not mention the emperor's secret order. He said that if the emperor had a hurdle in his heart and mentioned the secret order, it would implicate you or the Jiang family. If the Ministry of War asked, it would say that Ganzhou was surrounded by the Tartars for a long time. After the Tartars evacuated, the bandits outside the pass took advantage of the fire to rob Ganzhou and wanted to steal the power. He simply sent troops to suppress the bandits. But those bandits were wandering around the pass for many years, and the cunning rabbits had three holes. He accidentally chased the boundary, but it was less than half a day away from Xuanfu. He simply reorganized and let the bandits take the lead. This was why there were so-called five thousand cavalry. In fact, only five hundred cavalry were from the guards in Ganzhou, and the others were all reorganized bandits..."

"Beautiful response!" Jiang Xian's eyes lit up as he heard this, and he couldn't help but praise Li Qian.

He was like this in his previous life, and he knew especially how to deal with the imperial edict.

Jiang Lu rolled her eyes and muttered in a low voice: "Everything is good for you, Li Qian."

His voice was too small, and Jiang Xian, who was immersed in the memories, didn't hear it very clearly. He stared at him with his big eyes and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Jiang Lu smiled and said, "It's nothing? It's just that my father asked me to enter the palace to tell you that Burigude fled west under the cover of his family generals. Li Qian and his soldiers chased him personally. Datong and Taiyuan General Mansion were busy counting the battlefield and could not draw troops to help Li Qian..."

Jiang Xian's heart tightened: "What?"

Jiang Lu smiled and said, "It's what you heard just now. Li Qian led a team of people to the grassland by himself. Even if my father wanted to help him, he couldn't help!"

Jiang Xian sighed relieved and said, "If this is true, my uncle won't let you tell me, there must be something else!"

Jiang Lu looked at him for a while, and saw that Jiang Xian didn't even blink, and was defeated, saying, "Okay! You are amazing! Li Qian led his people to chase him and captured Burigude alive... It turned out that Burigude had been seriously injured, so the 12 alliances were in chaos, so we had the opportunity to get into..."
