Female General And Eldest Princess

Lin Wanyue stood aside, it was the first time she saw Li Xian like this, watching Li Xian cry, Lin Wanyue felt soft in her heart.

In Lin Wanyue's impression, Li Xian is always dignified, reserved, and wise. Li Xian at this time is more in line with the first image Lin Wanyue imagined.

The warmth of family affection flows between father and daughter, Lin Wanyue can't help feeling sad: I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy this family happiness in my lifetime.

"Okay, father is fine." Li Zhao patted the back of Li Xian's hand, and the latter slowly stopped crying.

Li Zhao slowly restrained his smile, and the wrinkles on his face deepened overnight.

"You know about Brother Yong, right?"

"My son knows, father and emperor take care of his health, brother Yong died for the country, son is also very sad."

"Hey... this rebellious son, the widow specially told him not to leave the city rashly, but he wants to rush in greedily!"

"Father, the situation in the northern border is complicated. Maybe Brother Yong has his own considerations. Take care of the dragon body."

"Hey..." Li Zhao sighed heavily again, and asked, "This time I'm looking for you, and the emperor wants to hear your opinion. What should you do about the affairs of Brother Yong?"

Lin Wanyue pricked up her ears. After Li Xian's advice, she is not what she used to be. She used to be frustrated because she couldn't understand the conversation between the two in the hall. Now, as soon as Li Zhao opened her mouth, Lin Wanyue tasted it. The meaning in Li Zhao's words.

King Yong is of royal blood, but at the same time he is also a defeated general.

According to the code of the royal family who died in a foreign land, His Majesty should send someone with the same status as King Yong to the northern border to welcome the coffin back. If he sends someone to welcome him, it means that King Yong is innocent.

But according to the generals of the defeated army, those with lower ranks were buried on the spot, and those with higher ranks were escorted back to Beijing with coffins by local soldiers, and their families took the coffins for burial. If so, King Yong would be guilty.

How to deal with the funeral affairs is related to the treatment of the heirs of King Yong in the future and the evaluation of King Yong in the history books.

Lin Wanyue stood there with downcast eyes and listened intently, Li Xian replied: "Brother Yong fought hard against the Huns and died for the country with his own body. My son is willing to go to the northern border to bring Brother Yong back to Beijing."

Li Zhao remained silent, and Li Xian continued: "Father, the deceased is so dead, please consider for Heng'er, he is only three years old, without his father, and will have to rely on Mengyin to grow up in the future."

"That's it... Let's just go with what Xian'er said. It's just that the war in the northern border was horrific, and the emperor is worried about you going. I'll think about other candidates."

"Father, now there are only Zhu'er, Zhu'er, and Yan'er in the court. The three royal bloodlines, Qi, Chu, and Xiang, are far away from the northern border; Father is not in good health, and Zhu'er must stay in the palace. It's even more impossible for my son to be young and have never traveled far, and my daughter has been to the northern border several times, so at such an extraordinary time, please ask the father to allow the daughter to share the father's worries."

Li Zhao looked at Li Xian, and said with emotion: "My son knows the general idea, and understands the great ceremony; it's a pity..." Li Zhao glanced at Lin Feixing, and swallowed back what he hadn't finished speaking.

Li Xian smiled lightly: "Although Zhu'er is young, she has already learned the way of the father, the father does not need to worry."

"Yeah." Li Zhao nodded: "You've been tired all day, go to the side hall to rest first, and I will have a few words with the concubine alone."

"Yes, Erchen retire."

Li Xian got up and walked out of the hall. The moment she passed Lin Feixing, the two of them had brief eye contact, and there was no need to say anything.

"My son-in-law, you know everything about the northern border, right?"

Lin Wanyue lowered her eyes and replied: "I don't know."

Li Zhao smiled, called Shunxi, and handed the red bamboo tube to Lin Feixing.

Lin Wanyue quickly read the silk newspaper, but she did not expect that King Yong died in the hands of Tuturba.

"Tell me, what do you think of things in the north."

Lin Wanyue thought for a moment, then replied: "My minister believes that it was accidental and inevitable that the Xiongnu jointly invaded our country."

"Well, go on."

"Yes, I grew up on the border since I was a child. In the five years since I joined the army, I have participated in hundreds of battles with the Huns. The Huns are bitterly cold and the permafrost period is very long. There are only a few months of fertile water and grass every year. In the remaining months, most of the Huns They cannot be self-sufficient, so in order to survive, they have to rely on robbing, internal scrambling, and external robbing of the people on the border of the Li country. The absence of the king is an opportunity for the Huns, although they cannot know the details behind it, but the Huns have lost more than they have won over the years, and now the joint attack is also reasonable."

"Well, if you are allowed to hold the commanding seal, what will you do with the situation in front of you?"

"My son didn't think about it."

Li Zhao stroked his beard: "Think about it now."

"Yes, if the minister is in command, he should defeat it with battle."

Hearing Lin Feixing's answer, Li Zhao frowned, feeling a little disappointed in Lin Feixing: Is he still too young?

Seeing that Li Zhao was silent, Lin Wanyue bowed and said, "I also ask my father to let my minister finish."

"You said."

"My son thought that the root cause of the five armies of the Huns was feud and survival, but the direct reason was the death of the general king, which gave the Huns the opportunity and courage to unite. They mistakenly thought that there was no one in the north, so they were so unscrupulous. Now that the Xiongnu coalition forces have just formed, they are actually not united internally. The five major khans are independent and lack a unified command. Moreover, although these five major tribes have strong strength to supply troops, they all live in the depths of the grassland. A light cavalry went around to the enemy's hinterland, cut off the transportation of food and grass, and then waited for a while. When the food and grass of the Huns were exhausted, they would jump over the wall and attack Yangguan City in a hurry. With heavy damage, we can rely on the advantages of Yangguan City to consume the Huns, and we will defend and fight, and wait for the cold winter."

"Hmm..." Li Zhao nodded, and asked again: "The widow has ordered the people on the frontier to retreat with their families for a hundred miles, why don't you feel at ease and stick to it?"

Lin Wanyue opened her mouth, a look of embarrassment flashed across her face.

Li Zhao saw it in his eyes: "But it's okay to say."

"Yes, my son thinks that this battle must be fought, even if it is very difficult to win. One thing: the previous coach was killed, the momentum of the Huns was high, and the morale of our army was low. We need a battle to reverse the morale. Two things: We need to use this battle to let the Huns understand that our Liguo has enough strength to defeat their so-called coalition forces. A comeback, but if you give a heavy setback before defending, I am afraid that the Huns will think about it if they want to attack on a large scale in the future. After all, the five major tribes are independent, cooperation is short-lived, and internal fighting is long-lasting. No one wants to risk being annexed by other tribes. It is risky to fight an uncertain battle. For me, the Xiongnu is on the border with the Liguo, and it is by no means easy to deal with the Xiongnu..."

Yuan Ding · 31 years, October [-]th.

"Li Guotong Years" records: The emperor made a decree to promote the eldest princess' son-in-law, Lin Feixing, the fourth-rank guard general, to be the third-rank hussar general, commanding the military affairs of the northwest and in charge of the commander-in-chief of the northern border.

So far, Lin Feixing has become the highest ranking and youngest Marshal who was born in commoner in the history of leaving the country.

And because Lin Feixing once led soldiers and craftsmen in the northern border to build Xinyangguan City, it is known in history as: Flying General of Yangguan!

The mighty procession set off from Tiandu City. In the four-carriage carriage sat Li Xian, the eldest princess who had left the country. Lin Feixing straddled Long Ran Baoju on the left side of the carriage, heading for the north.

Li Zhao also felt that Lin Feixing was too young. Although he was ordered in danger, he was still worried.

On the day of Lin Feixing's departure, another decree was promulgated: Li Zhen, the king of Qi, was ordered to lead [-] elite troops to the northern border to assist Lin Feixing in putting an end to the Wuhu Rebellion.

King Yong died in battle, the prince supervised the country, Lin Feixing was in command, and King Qi assisted; a new curtain is slowly opening.

Because of taking care of Li Xian, the team marched for seven days before reaching the northern border.

The commander-in-chief was beheaded, and the whole army was convicted. However, considering the special circumstances, and the prince and courtiers jointly wrote a letter to intercede for the soldiers in the northern border, Li Zhao drew up an order for Li Xian to be brought to the northern border.

"Fengtian Chengyun, the emperor, summoned and said: the commander was killed, and the whole army should be convicted according to the law. Nian Erlang has been fighting all the year round in the northern border, and the prince and courtiers have jointly signed a letter of plea, so this is extrajudicial. In March, all the sergeants were equalized by their merits in the three wars. The deputy commander Gao Deyi, as a veteran in the army, did not fulfill the responsibility of supervision and escaped from the battle. He was immediately beheaded outside the gate. , Qin this."

Li Xian stood on the high platform, after reading the imperial decree, Qianniuwei took down Gao Deyi, no matter how much he pleaded, his expression remained unchanged, blood was splattered three feet outside the gate, and Gao Deyi's head was decapitated.

Li Xian and Lin Feixing act separately, Li Xian is in charge of taking care of King Yong's funeral, while Lin Feixing is in charge of military affairs.

Lin Wanyue did not entrust Zhang Sanbao, Meng Ni, and other confidants with the post of deputy commander.

One of them, Lin Wanyue chose the general who had followed Li Mu and made great contributions: An Chengbi.

Another one, Lin Wanyue appointed Bai Ruida.

Among the sixteen vanguard generals, Lin Wanyue slashed half of them. Young people who had been selected before the appointment, had a clean background, and had passed inspections, the Hou Yeguan with a broken arm were reinstated, and Wang Dali was demoted to raise horses.

Lin Wanyue, the school lieutenant at the middle level, didn't move at all, but Lin Wanyue, the battalion commander at the bottom level, pulled out the files from the assessment department set up before, and selected those who were excellent in the assessment and directly assigned them to the position of battalion deputy. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Come out, put it there just for exercise and familiarity, it is a matter of time to mention it.

Although Lin Wanyue is only a third-rank military rank now, with a Northern Territory commander's seal, his power is greater than many first-rank officials!

In the northern border, Lin Wanyue with a military rank below the fourth rank can be directly appointed. After the appointment of the fourth rank and above, an order must be requested, and the appointment will only take effect after receiving the approval of the imperial court.

Bai Ruida was promoted to the fourth-rank general, Meng Nida took the previous position of Bai Ruida's right general, Zhang Sanbao was promoted to be the general to lead the Feiyu battalion, and he also appointed four vanguard generals.

Bian Kai was promoted to the commander of the scout battalion, and everyone returned to their respective positions.

Originally, when Xinyangguan City was being built, Lin Wanyue chose a good piece of land on the central axis of the new city, and built a new commander's mansion for Li Mu; unfortunately, Li Mu passed away before he could move in due to the severe poison. In vain, King Yong brought a lot of good things from the fief to enrich the internal treasury of the new commander's mansion. However, God's will is unpredictable, King Yong died in battle, and all these things belonged to Lin Wanyue.

After resolutely handling the military affairs, Lin Wanyue checked the defense again and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it. She brought two jugs of good wine, got on Long Ran's horse, and went to the outskirts of the city alone.
