Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

Liang Shao readily agreed, but also made a request.

"We have no roots or land in the northwest. The Zhenbei Army will supply us with food and fodder in the future!"

Zhou Ru'an thought about it and realized that if Liang Shao and his soldiers all joined the Zhenbei Army in the future, they would be the Zhenbei Army's own people and he would naturally supply them with food and fodder!

"This is what I should do. I can't use you to fight and I won't give you food. From now on, you will join the Zhenbei Army. We are our own people. I won't treat you differently!"

Liang Shao: "Thank you for your consideration, Second Prince."

Zhou Ru'an was even more confident about Liang Shao's surrender. With the two cities he had recently recovered, he now controlled six cities in the northwest. If he could take back those taken away by the three Turkic tribes, he would be the undisputed King of the Northwest.

As for the remaining few small cities, they are just fence-sitters. They will listen to whoever controls the military power in the northwest.

When Zhou Ru'an prepared for battle, the first thing he did was to send away the envoys sent by the three tribes.

When the two armies are fighting, they do not kill envoys. Zhou Ru'an unilaterally announced the termination of the peace talks and the lost city will be recaptured soon.

The envoys of the three tribes rushed back overnight to report the news!

That night, Zhou Ru'an was assassinated, something even Shen Lanxi had not expected!

Everyone in the conference room looked at Shen Lanxi in unison, their eyes seemed to be saying that it was their general who did it.

She is best at using unexpected tactics.

"I didn't ask anyone to do it!" Shen Lanxi said directly to avoid her subordinates' speculation.

Obviously, most people don't believe it.

"Didn't the general do it?" Che Mingyuan's tone was clearly unconvincing.

Ban Sicao: "Even if it was done by the general, what can it do? Zhou Ru'an is dead, it's just like crushing an ant, what's the big deal!"

Liu Yan glanced at him back and said, "Don't tell me you did it?"

Ban Sicao immediately denied it: "It's not me, don't guess blindly, if I wanted to feed him medicine, I would have done it long ago!" Besides, Shen Lanxi had reminded him before that he was the trump card, a surprise move, and could not be used casually!

Shen Lanxi raised her eyebrows: "Why, you don't believe what I say?"

Several people denied it.

"Believe it. We will definitely believe what the general says!" The general always lies openly and will say things directly if there is something wrong. Since she said she didn't do it, then it definitely wasn't her.

"General, if it wasn't us who did it, who could have done it?" Ban Sicao asked curiously.

Shen Lanxi: "I received a letter saying that not long after Zhou Ru'an got into trouble, someone dealt with Sun Miaoling!"

Several people's eyes widened.

"Didn't Sun Miaoling drug her father to death? Why would she attack Zhou Ru'an?" Liu Yanhui said in a surprised tone.

Wouldn't it be the case that if a woman who was so cruel and scheming killed Zhou Ru'an, her backing would fall?

Shen Lanxi: "Zhou Ru'an is suspicious by nature. As long as someone provokes him, his suspicion will be magnified!"

Che Mingyuan sighed: "Those who do evil will eventually perish. Sun Miaoling deserves it!"

"General, Zhou Ru'an is in critical condition, and the Zhenbei Army cannot do without someone to take charge of the situation!" Liu Yan replied.

Shen Lanxi: "Wait a minute, it's not the right time yet!" After Zhou Ru'an got into trouble, she had to make some adjustments to her subsequent plans.

The news that Zhou Ru'an was assassinated and fell into a coma soon spread back to the court.

"Your Majesty, the Second Prince has terminated the peace talks and threatened to attack the three tribes. We need to appoint a Northwest Commander to take command of the situation as soon as possible!"

Emperor Renxiao was furious. Dongchuan suffered a series of defeats, and every time he received urgent reports, it was a defeat. When the northwest finally started to improve, the commander was assassinated.

Is it really God's will to destroy the Great Zhou?

"My dear ministers, if you have any suitable candidates, please feel free to recommend them!"

If it is a large hall, full of talented people, yet no one responds!

Emperor Renxiao was annoyed again, and just as he was about to lose his temper with a dark face, he saw the Left Prime Minister stand up.

"Your Majesty, I recommend General Shen Lanxi. Previously, General Shen used her wits to capture the city and stabilize the northwest. Although she is not as brave and resourceful as the Second Prince and has made many great achievements, she has the experience of dealing with the three clans."

The Left Prime Minister's faction immediately stood up and agreed.

"I also recommend General Shen Lanxi. I believe General Shen will be able to resist the foreign race!"

Emperor Renxiao looked at the Left Prime Minister with satisfaction, and it was finally that the old minister understood his thoughts.

"Approved! Also, let the Second Prince retreat to the inner city to recuperate. Once he is well, he can take over the Northern Zhen Army!"

The ministers knew it clearly in their minds that no matter what Shen Lanxi said, she was just a temporary replacement.

After Emperor Renxiao left the court, all the ministers in the hall looked at Shen Congwen vaguely. His Majesty thought so much of his daughter, but this old man remained silent and was quite patient!

How could Shen Congwen keep calm? He gritted his teeth and dared not utter a word.

After returning home, he immediately went to his parents' room and told them the news of the day.

"Has she been pushed up again?" Old Madam Shen frowned and quickly turned the Buddhist beads with her right hand.

"Mother, Lan Xi will get into trouble sooner or later. When the world is pacified, we will most likely be held accountable!"

Old Madam Shen glanced at her eldest son unhappily. After returning to Beijing, the eldest son not only did not become more tactful, but became more and more rigid.

"We should clear ourselves of the charges as soon as possible!" Although he didn't like his eldest granddaughter, he had to admit that she was right to ask for an imperial decree to thoroughly investigate the Wei Jiajun case.

Regardless of whether the investigation is thorough or not, at least it is a statement.

"Boss, last time I asked you to secretly investigate the Wei family army case, did you do it?" asked Old Madam Shen.

Shen Congwen: "I checked, but there's no clue." If it could be checked, it would have been found out long ago. The fact that so many people couldn't find it shows that this is an ironclad case.

When Mrs. Shen heard her son's tone, she knew he was not doing his best. Just as she was about to criticize him, she heard her eldest son continue, "Many eyes are staring at our Shen family. It's better to have less trouble than more."

After being in a trance for a while, Mrs. Shen sighed deeply and waved her hand to let her eldest son go and rest.

If it had been in the past, she would never have imagined that the lives and property of everyone in the Shen family would depend on a woman.

What fate is this Shen family? What fate is this boss of hers?

After Shen Lanxi received the imperial edict, she gave it to Wei Dongzhu.

"It seems that our Majesty is still afraid of the Wei family army!"

Wei Dongzhu: "It's the same method as when we took over the southwest!"

Shen Lanxi chuckled: "What's going on with Zhou Ru'an?"

Wei Dongzhu: "He's lucky. Although the stab hit his heart, it didn't hit a vital part. At most, he'll bleed a lot. He'll recover by half in a year or two!"

Shen Lanxi raised her eyebrows: "Where's the other half?"

Wei Dongzhu raised the corner of his mouth: "I'm afraid he will be weak and sickly in the future, and will have to keep Zhou Yunyue company!"

Shen Lanxi smiled: "What a coincidence, I just happened to send them back to the inner city to recuperate. I think Yuanjing will be much more peaceful without Zhou Yunyue!"

Shen Yuanjing on the side laughed out loud immediately.

"By the way, the imperial edict also told us to investigate the assassins strictly. Do you have any clues about those assassins?" Shen Lanxi looked at Wei Dongzhu and Shen Yuanjing.

When the incident happened, the two were in Huangtu City.
