After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.

After sending Li Sikong away, Pei Jiaoran returned to the backyard. He stood under a parasol tree with his hands behind his hands, his eyes filled with thoughts. The Twelve Guards of Nanya established when the dynasty was first established were supposed to be the best place for the sons of eunuchs.

However, as land annexation became more and more serious, the original land equalization system completely collapsed, leading to demonstrations by the government soldiers. The Twelve Guards of Nanya had no soldiers to fight with, and gradually became in name only. Not only the former glory was swallowed up by Beiya, but even the guards under his command were also swallowed up.

As for Beiya, which was born in the frontier army, gradually transformed into the central army, and finally became the head of the emperor's forbidden army, the sergeants included were not only the sons of eunuchs, but also the sons of merchants and thugs in the market. The left army is in charge of the garrison of the capital, while the right army is responsible for conquering rebellions in feudal towns and guarding the capital and pass fortresses.

Moreover, because he was the head of the emperor's imperial army, he received more supplies and promotions than other armies. But it can also easily lead to many disadvantages, such as becoming a tax haven for powerful people.

At the same time, because it is the emperor's forbidden army, in order to ensure better control of this army. The king let the eunuchs get involved, which not only strengthened the power of the Shence Army, but also made the relationship between the two inseparable.

Lieutenant Shence and the Central Guards, who were eunuchs, took over the military power on behalf of the king and controlled the generals at the same time. The appointment of many Jiedu envoys requires Lieutenant Shence.

And Li Xiujing is a typical example. But he is smarter than others and knows how to weigh the pros and cons. From the beginning, he chose to give up the protection of his ancestors and rely on divine strategies to conquer foreign countries and accumulate military merit. Without military merit, it would not be easy for me to recommend him to defeat Fengzhou.

To be honest, Li Xiujing was more closely tied to the eunuch than she was.

His thoughts unconsciously returned to the initial wooing of Li Xiujing by Jia and Wang. Although he comes from a wealthy family, he has no position and is related to Shence. That's why both parties wanted to recruit him.

Thinking of this, Pei Jiaoran couldn't help but smile. After all, he had tricked Li Xiujing and designed him into his own scheme. As long as he is inseparable from the Shence Army, it is impossible for the World Family Party to accept him.

In other words, she tied him to her position.

A sycamore leaf fluttered down from the branch and landed on her shoulder.

Looking at the sycamore leaf in his hand, Pei Jiaoran suddenly remembered the restrained but eager to kiss deeply after putting down the Quan Dehui Rebellion.

The year is passing, autumn is passing and winter is coming.

She twisted the fallen leaf on her shoulder, and the veins on the leaf were clear. She wants to enter the center and compete with Jia Gonglu, and her purpose is very clear. But she didn't know how long the journey would take.

I don’t even know if I can go on smoothly. What kind of situation will usher in in the end is unimaginable. I glimpsed a glimpse of her past life in my dream, but I never thought that after her death and reputation loss, the person willing to clear her name would be Li Xiujing, whom I hated.

Love often arises from unknown places. She wasn't sure whether she liked Li Xiujing. But compared to others, he still favored her.

What's more, once you enter the center's power field, you can't stand alone. She also needs a powerful ally to provide political support. It is best if this power is closely connected with the imperial power.

So she was willing to like him a little more.

Pei Jiaoran turned around and paced back to the house, picking up a pen and writing a poem on the sycamore leaf he had just picked up.

"There is a strange tree in the courtyard, with lush green leaves. Climb the strips to break its glory, and you will miss it. The fragrance fills your sleeves, and the road is far to reach it. Why is this thing so valuable? But I feel that I have experienced it differently."

He put down the pen and stuffed the sycamore leaves into the letter, and called his servants to find a post envoy to send the letter to the battlefield of Heshuo.

At this moment, Wei Bo had gathered his strength to prepare for a counterattack, and was now forming up with the officers and soldiers by the Huan River.

Although Wei Bo's rebels had been defeated before, Tian Min was given a chance to escape because of the rift between Zhou and Wang. This allowed him to build fortifications on the other side and build a high fort.

In the camp, the generals sat down to discuss matters. Li Xiujing looked at the expressions of Zhou Sui and Wang Baozhen, and sighed with deep eyes. It is really not easy for these two to reconcile.

Tian Min relied on the fortifications to defend himself and refused to respond to the imperial court's attacks, as if he wanted to kill the army.

After thinking for a moment, Li Xiujing said: "Now Tian Min has received support from Chengde and Ziqing towns, but he has avoided fighting. Most likely he wants to bring down the imperial court. So there will be a plan in the end."

After hearing what he said, Zhou Sui looked over and asked, "What's your idea, General Li?"

"There is a saying in "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, 'Therefore, those who are good at fighting can cause harm to others without killing them. Those who can make the enemy come to him will benefit him; those who can prevent the enemy from coming will harm him.' But now the rebels cannot hold the city. We are at a disadvantage in fighting." After a pause, Li Xiujing continued, "Why don't you, the general, bring only ten days of dry food and attack Wei Bo's weak territory."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Sui clapped his hands suddenly. After saying several words in a row, he said: "General Li's idea is the same as mine. If you have less food, you can fight quickly."

"Having said that, why did Liang Shao end up in danger?" asked the Heyang Jiedushi on the side.

"Now Tian Min is getting help from Ziqing and Chengde, and they are echoing each other. They gather together without fighting because they want to drag down the court's army, food and money, and force the court to negotiate terms with them." Li Xiujing glanced at Zhou Sui, Then he said: "If we attack their left and right sides, we may not be able to defeat them, but we will easily be surrounded by them. Why not attack where they must be saved, and the rebels will save them. And we can also annihilate all the rebels."

Although Wang Baozhen had a rift with Zhou Sui and had a certain disdain for Shence Army, when he heard Li Xiujing's words, he couldn't help but show appreciation in his eyes.

Even the governor of Heyang also praised Li Xiujing.

The other generals also agreed, and all the generals were in agreement. Zhou Sui broke up the meeting and left the generals of the four armies alone to discuss the specific implementation matters.

Li Xiujing led people to build three pontoon bridges on the Huan River, and sent people to challenge them every day.

The two have fought several times before, and every time Wei Bojun was defeated by the Shence Army's surprise attack. At this moment, Li Xiujing led his men, all dressed in fine clothes, to go to the Huan River to call for formation, which made Tian Min on the top of the city very angry, but he was helpless.

Looking at the flag flying on top of the city, Li Xiujing signaled He Liang to hand over the bow.

He drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and suddenly he loosened his fingers. I saw arrows flying out of the flag at the top of the city.

Tian Min, who was standing at the top of the city, saw his flag crumbling as it was shot by the officers and soldiers. He turned to look at Li Xiujing who was riding a horse below the city.

"Shuzi is rampant. I will teach you to bow your head and apologize in the future."

Hearing this, Li Xiujing murmured lightly and rode back to the formation.

He knew that Tian Min was reaching the limit of his endurance.

Turning his head and glancing at Tian Min at the top of the city, Li Xiujing ordered Ming Jinzheng to withdraw his troops and lead them back to the camp.

First, he went to Zhou Sui to report the situation in Hengzhou City. Li Xiujing walked slowly in the camp.

Suddenly He Liang ran over in a hurry and shouted.

"General, I have your letter."
