Chapter 114
When Dongyue invaded the Tang Dynasty, the wolf's ambition was obvious. If it did not greatly reduce its sharpness, even if Dongyue was repelled this time, once it rested, it would definitely regain its momentum and provoke again. Before, the He brothers guarded the southern border, and Dongyue had been ready to move many times. The He brothers did not seek credit but did not make any mistakes. They each repelled and conveniently retreated, which encouraged Dongyue's arrogance.
Yunyang Bo Li Gan and Zhao Chen coincided with each other, and they fought to destroy all the 150,000 elite soldiers in Dongyue. Otherwise, they would just repel them. What is the difference between them and the He brothers? Zhao Chen has Zhao Chen's plan, and Li Gan also wants to plan for the Li family. Since he has come from afar, he must make great contributions. Dongyue is not as brave as the Hu people. It is not easy to raise these 150,000 elite soldiers. This time he is defeated and he will be unable to make another attack within decades.
The chieftain in the car was familiar with the terrain of the southern border and secretly sneaked into the other places with the envoys of the Tang Dynasty. Except for Meng Yang, who was the defensive city of Dongyue, it took several days to meet and make an appointment with the original chieftain in Meng Yang, the other three places quickly reached an alliance agreement.
Everything was ready. In late October, Li Gan personally led the army to attack.
Zhao Chen had to take 20,000 elite troops to sneak into the Kakashan Valley to cut off the retreat of the East Vietnamese army. This is an important task and a dangerous situation. Once the Tang army facing the enemy head-on is defeated, the East Vietnamese army will turn around and attack the East Vietnam reinforcements who are coming to meet, and Zhao Chen and others will die forever.
Even though Li Ganzhi was sure to win, Ji Zhao was still worried and pulled Zhao Chen's reins and insisted on going with him.
Zhao Chen rode on the horse in military uniform and lowered his head to ask him: "What are you going to do? This time I will go to fight to kill the enemy. If you go, can you kill two enemies or persuade them to surrender? Wait here!" Ji Zhao was smart and he was willing to let him show off and give some credit, which was also considered a training, but killing the enemy with a knife is not suitable for Ji Zhao.
"Brother Shi, don't underestimate me!" Ji Zhao raised his neck to defend himself, "We have been out for more than half a year. I am no longer the eldest young master who was not even satisfied with the bow. I am not as good as Brother Shi's skills, so it's okay to kill two enemies with Brother Shi!" He reached out to stop Zhao Chen's horse and had to go. Zhao Chen was alive and he would benefit from it. If something happened to Zhao Chen, he would not give him a good face when he went back.
The boy's eyes were firm and his skin was slightly dark, so he was indeed completely different when he was in the capital.
Zhao Chen looked at the army that had already been assembled in front, pondered for a moment, called Ji Zhao to his side, leaned over and whispered to him: "I will give you a thousand troops, if..."
After hearing this, Ji Zhao was covered in cold sweat on his back and stared at him and said, "They dare!"
Zhao Chen smiled, "Maybe dare, maybe not, we just want to be in case. Ji Zhao, I can hand my life to you, don't let me down." He patted Ji Zhao's shoulder and rode his horse away.
Ji Zhao stood there, watching Zhao Chen assign a thousand-man commander to lead troops out of the line, and then headed directly to the front of the team.
At this time, just dawn broke out. When the commander of the thousand-man walked to him, a sense of priest suddenly emerged in Ji Zhao's heart. He ordered people to bring the war horses. He gave the order to the commander of the thousand-man: "Take your people with you and follow me!"
Three days later, the Tang army led by Li Gan was unstoppable and recaptured the Meng Yang Xuanwei Envoy Office in one fell swoop. King Rui led some troops to settle several Xuanwei Envoy Offices. Li Gan continued to lead the army to pursue the fugitive army in Dongyue, and ordered the He brothers to lead 10,000 light cavalry to block the fugitive army from both wings and share the forces of Dongyue, so as not to fail Zhao Chen's interception.
The He brothers took the order and left, and they all ordered the army to stop and remained motionless when they walked halfway.
The two brothers have been stationed in southern Xinjiang for many years and have cultivated loyal subordinates around them. For example, the soldiers brought out this time are only followed by their brothers. Although they are wondering why they stay here, no one raises doubts.
He Rufang stood on a mountain on a horse, watching the Dongyue army retreating towards Kaka Mountain like a tide, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The emperor ordered the two brothers to make meritorious contributions. As long as they repel Dongyue, they could atone for their sins. To destroy the Dongyue army, the contributions would be divided by Zhao Chen and Li Gan, which would only make their brothers even more incompetent. Therefore, they could not let Dongyue destroy the army. When Dongyue wiped out Zhao Chen's 20,000 troops, they would chase them again, and then push the fault to Zhao Chen's ineffective interception. At that time, Zhao Chen had already died with his subordinates and could only be a sucker.
The sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded behind him.
He Rufang turned around in shock and saw about five hundred iron cavalry coming towards this side at lightning.
The scout replied loudly: "General, it is Ji Zhao, the son of the Marquis of Zhongyi!"
"Why is he here?" He Rufang frowned and ordered someone to bring Ji Zhao over. His mother wrote a letter to her and intended to marry his daughter Minjun to Ji Zhao. Later, although there was no news, He Rufang looked at Ji Zhao differently. Unfortunately, Ji Zhao followed Zhao Chen, and his only favoritism had long been wiped out.
Ji Zhao has grown a lot in the past six months, wearing armor and riding a horse against the light, and he has a strong sense of heroism. When he arrived in front of He Rufang, he did not dismount. He bowed to He Rufang and said with a calm face: "General He, the prince is responsible for supervising the army this time. Although he is in the rear, he is concerned about the military situation in the front. He specially ordered me to lead someone to supervise him on his behalf. The scout reported that the two General He stayed halfway. I didn't believe it, but who would have thought... I dare to ask General He what he meant?"
The young man was trapped in more than ten thousand elite soldiers, with a righteous spirit, and the noble spirit of his body was no less than that of King Ai.
He Rufang was over forty, but after Ji Zhao asked her, she felt sweat on her forehead. She had heard about King Rui’s Wentao’s martial arts long ago. Did he expect that his brothers would not do their best and sent Ji Zhao over? What's more, the emperor in the capital was planning and reminded King Rui to pay more attention to their brothers?
He felt stormy in his heart. Ji Zhao glanced at the dust brought by the army at the foot of the mountain and shouted: "The military plane cannot be delayed, General He will not be able to lead the army to intercept it! If General He violated the order for no reason, please let the tiger go back to the mountain, uncle should not blame the junior for telling the truth in front of the prince regardless of his old love, and say goodbye!" After saying that, he turned his horse's head and left with his long hair.
"General, do you want it..." He Rufang's confidant asked quietly, and made a beheading gesture to Ji Zhao's back.
He Rufang stared at Ji Zhao's calm departure back, gritted her teeth, and rushed down the mountain first.
He can't take this risk.
Obeying orders and blocking the East Vietnamese army, they can get some credit. He can also kill Ji Zhao, but what if, what if Ji Zhao was really sent by King Rui, if Ji Zhao came to see him, he had sent someone back to report King Rui before, their brothers would be in a desperate situation. Not to mention the credit, they would have lost their lives.
The men on his side rushed down the mountain, causing a sensation of chaos. He Ruming, behind the mountain in front, had already made up his mind to kill the five hundred soldiers under Zhao Chen. Seeing his younger brother taking action, he secretly called his younger brother stupid, but there was no second way to go. He shouted and led his army down the mountain to meet the enemy.
After a bloody battle, the remaining 100,000 troops in Dongyue were wiped out, and Zhao Chen even captured Wang Mang Yingli of Dongyue alive.

Aji knew nothing about the war in southern Xinjiang.
My daughter is going to capture Zhou, and the courtesy exchanges. After Aji discussed with her mother-in-law this time, she took the initiative to post a post to Princess Jing. Thinking about it carefully, except for the two children who were one year old, Princess Jing was a little special to them, and Princess Jing did not go around on weekdays, and King Jing had never come to the Marquis' Mansion. It should not be much for him to invite Princess Jing now. After all, the emperor knew about the lanterns, and he gave Cancan the reward for this at the beginning of the year.
On the day of the arrest week, Aji got up early to change into a new cotton coat for her daughter.
Cancan, who had just been carried out from the quilt, looked quite thin. After putting on the cotton coat, he gained three times. He could stand up by himself while playing with his mother at night. Now he could only sit stupidly, turn around and pounce on him, looking at his mother in confusion, not understanding why he suddenly became stupid.
How cute my daughter looked, Aju gently washed her face and applied balm, kissed her two times, and carried her to the outside room to play.
The Lin family came first, and the Guo family was a little late. It was enough to be lively for Lin Zhu to coax Cancan alone. When Guo Baozhu arrived, he immediately laughed and laughed in Zhuxuan. Cancan was snatched by two young elders, and everyone teased her and called her someone. Lin Chongjiu also stood on the ground and teased her niece. Cancan would call her uncle. Lin Chongjiu was so beautiful. She was caught by Lin Zhu and Guo Baozhu and pushed him to the door. Of course, Lin Chongjiu didn't want to leave, and held the door panel and called the elder sister to be fair.
Aji was talking to Mrs. Guo with her mother, so she was not surprised by this. Anyway, there were no outsiders, so it was very lively.
Cancan sat on the kang, watching the three older children pushing around intently, which was very novel.
It was not until the maid reported that Princess Jing had arrived that the trouble in the room was calmed down. Aji asked Madam Jiang to look at Cancan, and a group of people went to the gate of the Marquis's mansion to greet her. Halfway through, they met the Grandma and Zhao Yunting.
Aji called out to Zhao Yunting to say goodbye, slowing down and following behind the two of them.
Lin Zhu whispered to the elder sister: "Where is that cousin of the Zeng family?" Last time she came, she almost started arguing with the arrogant cousin.
"I'm back to Liaodong." Aji said simply, and after saying that, she glanced at the lady. In fact, when she learned that Mrs. Zeng had brought another granddaughter over, she thought it was the lady who signaled her. Unexpectedly, the lady asked Mrs. Zeng to take the person back, and she didn't know what the reason was.
No matter what, missing an annoying person is a good thing.
When they got outside, the carriage in the palace just stopped, and Zhao Yunting led the way to welcome Princess Jing together.
"Mr. Marquis, you don't have to be polite. I came here early, just because I didn't want to ruin the happy atmosphere in the room. Marquis just treats me as Mrs. Zhao's friend." Princess Jing said generously, asking everyone in the Marquis's house to avoid the gift. She turned around and took Brother Fu from the wet nurse's arms, walked to Aji, and coaxed her with a smile: "Brother Fu, this is Cancan's mother. Do you still recognize me? You call me Aunt."
Brother Fu pursed his lips without saying a word, looked behind Aji. When he saw Lin Chongjiu, his eyes paused and he quickly moved away.
The child likes to play with the child. Aji guessed that Brother Fu was looking for her daughter and asked someone to go in and said, "It's cold outside, the princess and the prince should sit in the house."
Princess Jing nodded and walked in with her son in person. She never looked at the lady from beginning to end.
The lady stopped at the fork in the road to Wangzhuxuan, and her face was not very good-looking.
Zhao Yunting comforted his mother: "Mother went back to Rongshou Hall to rest first. When other guests arrive, my son will invite you to come over. Today, many old ladies will come over, and you have to come forward to entertain you."
The lady snorted and turned around and walked back, but she felt regret for the first time in her heart.
Princess Jing invited her when the prince was full of moon. Later, she had a falling out with Lin. Princess Jing didn't know where she got the news, so she didn't like her anymore. It can be seen that she was indeed looking at Lin.
As I walked, I thought of Mrs. Zeng again and felt so frustrated.
The Zeng family really treated her as a stepping stone. Seeing that Zeng Xuerou had found a good marriage, she quickly sent her second wife's granddaughter over here. Why didn't she see what her granddaughter's temperament is? She respected her face in front of her and was disgusted with her behind her back. Even Zeng Xuerou was not as good as half of her finger. That day she wanted to hit the deer in Wang Zhuxuan... She was so stupid that she was angry, and staying in the capital would only embarrass her.
My son is right. With Princess Jing's emphasis on it, even for the Zhao family, she can no longer cause trouble for Lin.hf();
