Uncle, I didn't mean to tease you

Beijiang finally found temporary stability.

The two armies have been stalemate for so long, and they both chose to fight to the death yesterday. To a certain extent, this shows that both sides do not want this war to continue.

Henan probably didn't expect that the Beijiang Army would still be able to fight without their coach, so they still couldn't win Beijiang after a stalemate for so long. They had no patience and exhausted their strength.

The Henan army was sure of winning this battle, but they didn't want to be defeated at the end.

The more than [-] troops brought by Liu An was a variable that Liu Jing had never thought about, and it was even more impossible for the Henan army to predict it.

After learning the news of Liu An's disappearance, everyone was quite anxious, but they didn't expect Liu An to appear in such a way.

It turned out that Liu An was plotted by the Yuzhou prefects that day. After a fierce battle, he was injured and fled, and then encountered a passing caravan.Probably he had a predestined relationship with the caravan, and every time he experienced being hunted down, he would be picked up by the caravan.

Because he didn't know if the prefect of Yuzhou had any other backers, Liu An didn't dare to easily return to Beijiang along the original road, and simply followed the caravan all the way north across Linjiang.

He carried Liu Jing's private seal on him, so he went to find Liu Jing's 5000 troops, but unexpectedly, this move brought a huge turning point for the battle situation.

"General Yang is young, but he is very courageous. He came to see me with your private seal that day. All the soldiers in the battalion recognized your token, so they obeyed him." Ta'an said helplessly.

Liu Jing raised the corners of his mouth calmly and said, "Yes."

Ta'an said: "These men and horses have shown up now, how do you plan to explain? According to Dayu's law, it is a serious crime to garrison troops without permission, and your garrison has 6000 to [-] people, including mercenaries."

Liu Jing smiled and said: "The battle report has been handed in. It said that Henan provoked the Ta'an tribe for no reason, so he was chased by Ta'an to Beijiang. Now Ta'an and his people refused to leave, and vowed to destroy it with our army." I will not stop until Hernan."

Ta'an laughed out loud when he heard this, and didn't know what to say.

Liu An opened the door and came in, her face had been washed and her clothes changed, she looked haggard, and her brows were slightly frowned.

Ta'an raised his hand and rubbed his short hair that didn't reach his ears, and blurted out: "It's still too fair, not like a war material."

Liu An raised his eyebrows, not knowing how to respond.But Liu Jing said disapprovingly: "So a dark person like you deserves to be beaten for the rest of your life."

"General Zheng has brought people back and is waiting outside." Liu An said.

As soon as Ta An heard that they had military affairs, he yawned and left, not at all curious about the recruitment of the Northern Army.

General Zheng's status in the North Army has always been equivalent to the deputy commander in chief. When Liu Hengyuan was the commander in chief, he regarded him very highly.Now that Liu Jing is temporarily serving as the coach, he has not neglected him in the slightest.

However, what happened last night, as the main force, General Zheng should have entered the battlefield after the Vanguard Battalion won the initial victory, but he temporarily changed his mind and went back to defend the big camp, causing Liu Jing's Vanguard Battalion to almost be wiped out.

The situation was critical at the time, so it was understandable for him to make this decision, but afterward, his men and horses did not return to the camp for a long time, and they only came back now, this behavior must be justified anyway.

After General Zheng came in, Liu Jing couldn't help being startled, the other party's eyes were red, and it seemed that there was deep grief and indignation.

"General Zheng, you are a person who has lived and died with me. I trust you very much. And in the final analysis, you are more familiar with and have more affection for Zhengbei Army than I am." Liu Jing said: "What happened last night, I need a explain."

General Zheng said: "The camp was suddenly attacked last night. I judged that the enemy had other plans, so I decided to return to the camp to support without authorization. There were only about a thousand Henan troops who attacked the camp. I led people to chase them all the way... Later, Chased them all the way to their previous hiding place."

If the Henan Army wanted to attack the camp of the Zhengbei Army, they had to lurk quietly behind the Zhengbei Army, and in order to cover up their whereabouts, they would inevitably find a shelter in advance, and then wait for the opportunity to attack.

"A few kilometers away from the Linjiang River, there are several villages next to each other. All the villages add up to hundreds of households and thousands of people." In order to hide in the village, he sneaked into the village the night before yesterday and killed everyone."

Rao Liu Jing couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words, and asked: "Is there no one alive?"

General Zheng said: "When we chased to the village, everyone had been dead for a day and a night. The whole village, no matter men, women, old or young, were killed. Later, when we buried the remains, in a rice jar of a family , found two children."

Two children under two years old hid in the rice jar for a day and a night, and were unconscious when they were rescued.

"It's unreasonable!" Liu Jing couldn't help clenching his fists.

"Later, all the Henan troops who participated in the massacre were taken care of by us, and none of them ran away." General Zheng said, "Those two children really had nowhere to go, so I brought them back, and they are now in General Shen's house." In the tent, still unconscious."

A trace of coldness flashed in Liu Jing's eyes. Originally, he thought that if Henan's army withdrew immediately, he could consider giving the opponent a yard.After all, it is not unreasonable to say that the poor should not chase after this sentence.

But now this incident made him extremely angry, he only wished to drive the Henan army to extinction, so as to relieve his only hatred.

The Thousand Henan Army quietly slaughtered more than a thousand people less than ten miles away from the camp of the Zhengbei Army, and these people were all unarmed civilians, no one could swallow this breath.

"General Zheng, go to rest. Those two children will be sent to the military doctor, and they have never been fathers for a lifetime, so how can they look after their children!" Liu Jing said.

General Zheng wanted to say something more, but Liu Jing waved his hand and said, "I know what you want to say, don't worry, this matter will not stop here."

The other party left after hearing this.

Liu Jing looked at Liu An, and the two looked at each other, and they instantly understood what the other was thinking.Since you want to fight, let's have a good fight.

Uncle Liu's leg injury was not recovering satisfactorily, and he was very depressed, unwilling to eat well or receive proper treatment.

Yuzhu was busy treating the wounded soldiers, and her feet hit the back of the head all day long, but she still found time to be with Uncle Liu every day.

"You don't have to come to accompany me." Uncle Liu said.

"Okay, then I'm leaving." Yuzhu said and got up to leave.

Uncle Liu's expression darkened, but he didn't call out to him.He used to have low self-esteem, but now that he is crippled, he doesn't know how to deal with Yu Zhu anymore.

Yuzhu walked to the door and came back, sat on the side of the couch and asked, "Are you afraid that no one will take care of you if you become lame?"

Uncle Liu was silent for a moment, then said: "My family has servants to take care of it, so there is nothing to worry about."

"Then you are afraid that you won't be able to find a wife?" Yu Zhu asked.

"I... have already told my brother that I will never find a wife in the future." Uncle Liu said.

Yuzhu didn't discuss this issue with him, so she asked, "Why?"

Uncle Liu stammered, "I...don't like girls."

"Oh." Yuzhu raised her eyebrows and stopped talking.

At this time, someone brought the two surviving children over, Yuzhu reached out and pinched Uncle Liu's ear, got up and said, "I'll go and have a look, and I'll talk to you later."

"What?" Uncle Liu asked.

Yuzhu looked at him and smiled, but didn't answer.

A few days later, Beijing Central Committee's approval came.

Followed by the follow-up to the previous incident of Liu An's distress.

The prefect of Yuzhou was dismissed and investigated for being suspected of murdering an imperial official.Pan Wenjie was temporarily removed from the post of Prince Shaobao because of his inexplicable involvement in this matter.

The situation in Beijiang was so critical that there was no room for any mistakes.

And Liu Jing's attitude is directly related to Beijiang's safety.

Because of Liu An's previous actions, the emperor probably realized that Liu An and Liu Jing's loyalty to him was only so-so, but he couldn't find anyone who could replace Liu Jing, so he had to try his best to comfort Liu An .

In fact, the reason why Liu Jing is still willing to work hard is purely to be loyal to the people and the country, and has nothing to do with the emperor.

Yang Zheng took people back to Beijiang after he got the news.Liu Jing quickly called everyone together to discuss how to deal with Henan.

"Henan's army has withdrawn now, if we send troops to fight, Beijiang will be in danger." Liu An said.

Liu Jing nodded, he also thought of this section, so he hesitated.

At this time, Ta'an said: "I have an idea, we can discuss this battle with Daxia to see if they are willing to join us."

Everyone couldn't help frowning when they heard the words, thinking that Dayu and Daxia had not fought for a long time, so they might not be able to unite.

At this time, Liu An answered: "We have fought with Daxia for several years, but we still haven't come to a conclusion. In the final analysis, it is not a question of strength, but that the two countries are separated by a Linjiang River. Winning or losing doesn’t make much sense.”

This is the truth. To put it bluntly, it is difficult to break the balance between the two countries. If they understand each other, they should coexist peacefully, so as not to worry about their lives.

"But Henan is different. They are in the upper reaches of Linjiang, and the land is scattered on both sides of Linjiang. If we unite with Daxia, we can completely annex Henan. At that time, the north of Linjiang will belong to Daxia, and the south of Linjiang will belong to Daxia. Let's." Liu An said.

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard the words, but after thinking about it carefully, they found it very reasonable.

Ta'an said at the right time: "I can go and talk to Da Xia for you, you can try it regardless of whether it succeeds or not."

Everyone discussed this matter several times, and finally was persuaded by Ta'an.

Ta'an personally took people to Daxia, and came back half a month later. The news he brought back was that Daxia was willing to consider this matter, but the premise was that all conditions should be negotiated in advance.

"It seems that they don't have no idea about He Nan." Liu Jing said: "It's really not a pleasant feeling to keep such an enemy country who will take advantage of others' danger at any time."

Liu Jing went to the capital to write an excerpt that day. Of course, Liu An reminded him that he didn't mention the alliance with Da Xia, but only said that He Nan kept provoking and wanted to send troops.

The reply given by the capital was that no troops should be sent unless it was absolutely necessary.

"It seems that we really plan for ourselves." Liu An said: "If the situation stabilizes, will Li Qin's first thing be to get rid of us?"

Liu Jing said: "It's understandable for him to think so. No emperor would allow someone beyond his control to hold military power."

Liu An said: "It doesn't matter if we don't want this military power, but if he really disposes of us and Dayu has no one who can lead the army, I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous."

Therefore, no matter what, Liu Jing should guard Beijiang's military power.

Since they want to join forces with Daxia, it is imperative to send troops.But blatantly disobeying the emperor's order is not justified.

After doing some calculations, Liu An came up with a solution.

Let Ta'an lead people to attack Henan with Daxia, and the main force of the Beijiang Army is still guarding Beijiang.Liu Jing, without anyone noticing, placed part of the northern army's troops into the group of people in Ta'an.

At that time, General Zheng and Yang Zheng will lead the troops, and together with Ta'an's people, they will join forces with Daxia to attack Henan.

A few days later, Liu An and Ta An negotiated with Da Xia.

Half a month later, the two armies jointly attacked Hernan.

Since Hernan had been severely injured before, and had dismissed the mercenaries this time, there was almost no room for resistance after being attacked.

It took less than a month for the two armies to join forces before and after, and captured Hernan.

The day after the victory in the battle, Liu Jing wrote a battle report to the capital.

Almost at the same time, Daxia sent envoys to the capital, saying that he would ask Li Qin to send people to Beijiang to discuss a peace agreement with Daxia.

Since the two countries are fighting back and forth and can't win or lose, it is better to shake hands and make peace, so as to save the whole day of being on guard against each other, but being taken advantage of by other countries.

When the emperor received Liu Jing's battle report, he was very displeased.Although the battle was victorious, Liu Jing finally made his own decisions.

And when he received the news from Da Xia, another thought suddenly flashed in his mind.

If Da Xia and Dayu could really coexist peacefully, the Northern Defense would not need to garrison troops.At that time, was there still a need to recruit the Northern Army?

If there is no need for the Northern Army to exist, does Liu Jing also have no value for existence?

He had been afraid to touch the opponent in the past, nothing more than worrying that there would be no one available for the North Defense.Now this timing is really the right time and place.

Liu Jing, Liu Jing, you dug this hole yourself!

The emperor sneered in his heart, feeling much more relaxed.
