Unparalleled Concubine

Speaking of this, Li Houye paused, then half-closed his eyes, and smiled slightly: "Of course, Brother Mu can also deliberately lose this battle and let me die in the capital."

As soon as Li Xin died, the Southwest was under the Shu Palace, and the current Shu King is Mu Ying's son, so Li Xin said such a sentence to beat the Mu family a little.

Mu Ying was dripping with cold sweat. With a plop, he knelt down in front of Li Xin, kowtowed and said, "Master Hou, this subordinate will never have such thoughts!"

"Xianxi Shangxia will not have such thoughts!"

Zhao Jia, who was dressed in white, stood up from the chair, straightened his clothes, and bowed respectfully to Li Xin.

"Frankly speaking, I still don't support Lord Hou to go to Beijing, but no one can change what Lord Hou has decided over the years. If that's the case, I won't persuade you."

"I read history when I was young. There are countless heroes in the history books, each leading the way for decades, and they are all over the world. They are either decisive or invincible. It is fascinating and awe-inspiring to read."

Having said that, Zhao Jia let out a sigh of relief, bowed to Li Xin and said, "When they were young, they were people whom Zhao Jia admired. Now that they are middle-aged, they suddenly feel that they are less human."

"Compared with them, Marquis, you are more like a real person."

Chapter 985

In the middle of May of the fifth year of Yuanzhao, the weather became hotter and hotter. Even Jimen Pass in the north began to get hotter. On the wall of Jimen Pass, several young soldiers in armor were standing guard on the wall.

These soldiers looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, and they held the standard spears of the Zhenbei Army in their hands. The two looked at the north and were talking.

"Our boss is really lucky. Not long after he returned home from leave, the barbarians from the north came calling."

The 17-year-old young man sighed and said, "I heard that he went back to his hometown to get married, and he is probably just getting married right now. How can we fight the barbarians like us here."

Today, the Xianbei tribe has been officially at war with the imperial court for more than a month, and a large number of beacon towers near Jimen Pass have been wiped out by the Yuwen Ministry.

After more than a month, Jimen Pass has withstood the impact of the Xianbei Department about four or five times, but now the grain and grass supplies at Jimen Pass are still sufficient, and it will not be a big problem to support it for a few more months.

After hearing this young man's words, another grain that was slightly older than him snorted and said, "Tou Zhao has connections in the capital, and he will probably marry Li Taifu's sister when he returns this time. We are a family, what kind of luck? It is obvious that someone notified him in advance that there will be a war at the border, so he asked for leave at this moment!"

"As soon as Captain Zhao enters the army, he is the captain, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old captain, how can we stinky mounds compare?"

Obviously, these are Zhao Fang's soldiers.

Although Li Xin was at odds with the imperial court, he did not openly set up a flag for rebellion after all. On the surface, he was still the imperial tutor. Moreover, he became a marquis at a young age and became the object of worship of young people in the Jin Dynasty. Well known.

"I can't be envious."

The young soldiers looked to the north, and said enviously: "If we can marry Mrs. Li's sister, how can we still stand guard here? Maybe one day in the future, we will also be able to become marquises and worship generals..."

The slightly longer soldier sighed: "The northern barbarians have attacked Jimen Pass five times a month. With such viciousness, Captain Zhao may not come back..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar voice came from the side.

"Fuck your mother's fart!"

A young man in the same armor, with a long gun on his shoulders, although he was dressed in a military uniform and his face was full of ruffians, he looked vaguely bookish at first glance. This young man was wearing a captain's armor, and walked in front of the two of them. , kicked the two people hard, and cursed: "Is this me a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?"

This person is naturally Zhao Fang. After he returned to Yongzhou, under the arrangement of the Nine Princesses, he married Zhong Xiaoxiao. Since both parties had no parents, the wedding was successfully completed under the auspices of Li Xin and his wife.

After getting married, according to Li Xin's meaning, he will not be released. At this time, the Zhenbei Army is in turmoil. Even if Zhao Fang has followed Li Xin to practice Zhengyi fist, at best, he is agile. Possibly dead.

Li Xin didn't want his sister to become a widow not long after she got married.

But after Zhao Fang heard about the fighting in the north, he insisted on returning to Jizhou. Many of his brothers in the captain's camp were small bandits he and Li Xin had captured from the mountains, and he brought them up with his own hands. It is obviously difficult to give up the love of robes easily.

After Zhao Fang kicked the two of them, he was still puzzled and scolded: "I got married at home. According to the rules of Dajin, I could have taken a leave of absence for a year, but when I heard that there was a fight in Jizhou, I immediately rushed back from my hometown. These bastards are still planning Lao Tzu behind their backs!"

At this time, most of the speeches in the army were in this tone. Zhao Fang was born in a scholarly family, so it was absolutely impossible to say such words, but after five or six years in the army, he also learned a lot of foul language.

These two people, or the little bandits he brought out with one hand, were not angry after being kicked twice, but just looked at Zhao Fang with a smile, and the younger soldier stepped forward and asked quietly: "Boss, are you Did you really marry Taifu Li's sister as a wife?"

Zhao Fang rolled his eyes and snorted: "What are you asking so many for, so I can stand on your post!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a familiar tremor under his feet.

Tremors are faint, but clearly present.

The three of them turned their faces to one side at the same time, and looked up to the north in unison.

There was a man in the army who had specially practiced the method of listening to the ground. He lay down at the base of the city wall and listened. His face changed drastically. He stood up and shouted loudly, "It's the cavalry of the northern barbarians!"

"Tens of thousands of riders!"

"It's only five or six miles away from my gate!"

Because the Xianbei cavalry is so powerful, after more than a month, there are almost no Zhenbei army scouts outside the pass, because the horses of the scouts are not as fast as the Xianbei people's horses, and if they are chased, they will die in vain, so the Zhenbei army only guards the pass. No longer sending people out to investigate, the Zhenbei Army can only find out if the enemy is within a certain distance.

Standing on the city wall, Zhao Fang put on his helmet silently, then took out a strip of cloth from the skirt and tied it to his hand, then tied the quiver on his body leisurely, looked up to the north, and took a deep breath Take a few breaths.

He has been in the army for six years and has never really experienced a war. Now, the war is here.

As far as the eye could see, there was already a black line to the north.

Zhao Fang tightened the cloth strip in his hand, and roared at the people in his captain's camp.

"The northern barbarians are here, ready to kill them!"

The entire Captain's Battalion roared with Zhao Fang's voice.

"Fuck them!"

………………

The war in northern Xinjiang is raging, but the capital city thousands of miles away cannot feel the flames of war in northern Xinjiang. The nobles and gentlemen in the city should go to the restaurant, and the brothel should go to the brothel. The city is still prosperous inside and outside the city. To the slightest breath of war.

The only one affected by the war was probably the concubine Yu Wenque, who was married into the palace by the emperor two years ago. Because of the rebellion of the Yuwen Ministry, she, as the daughter of Yu Wenzhao, was naturally implicated and was beaten into the palace by the emperor. In the cold palace.

At the same time, the two uncles and nephews of the Ye family couldn't sit still anymore, and rushed back to the capital from Ningling. The two uncles and nephews entered Beijing at the same time, and knelt in front of the emperor in Weiyang Palace.

Ye Lin, Marquis of Ningling, said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the war in northern Xinjiang is raging, and the Xianbei tribe is coming in menacingly. Duke Chen's family will guard the Jimen Pass instead of the Jin Dynasty. The two ministers, uncles and nephews are willing to die for the Jin Dynasty and guard the Jimen Pass. !"

In just over a month, the Xianbei tribe entered the palace Jimen Pass five times. Although Jimen Pass was firmly guarded, it was obvious that the defense was very difficult. Moreover, the Zhenbei Army now has no backbone, and the army may lose its morale at any time. The Zhenbei Army is the foundation of the Ye family, and the two Ye family uncles and nephews are naturally anxious when they see this.

The Zhenbei army is in the hands of their Ye family, even if it is really beaten and disabled by the Xianbei, it will be used to the best of its ability, but if the Zhenbei army is wiped out in the hands of others, the Ye family will not be willing to close their eyes.

They naturally want to take over the Zhenbei Army, even if it's either uncle or nephew.

Emperor Yuanzhao personally helped the two uncles and nephews up, and then handed the military newspaper on his desk to the uncles and nephews.

"You two, Ye Qing, don't worry, the Jimen Pass is as solid as gold, and the Xianbei people knocked on it five times, and they all returned in defeat."

The young emperor turned his head to look at Ye Lin and smiled.

"Ye Qing served as Minister of the Ministry of War a few years ago, and was later transferred to Hanzhong. Now that he has returned to Beijing, how about continuing to be in charge of the Ministry of War for me?"
