Better to live forever [Rebirth]

The Jincheng section of Liangzhou is the largest pass in Liangzhou. Zhu Chengyuan, the former commander of the Zhu family army, has been stationed here for more than 20 years.It wasn't until 13 years ago that Xianbei's surprise soldiers attacked and swallowed the six unowned cities bordering Dajing, triggering a ten-year annexation war between Dajing and Xianbei. The coach Zhu Chengyuan led the army to fight Xianbei, and then Li Ping took over Jincheng The position of the garrison general.

It can be said that before the Xianbei Mansion was included in the territory of Dajing, whoever was the number one general of Dajing depended on who guarded Jincheng in Liangzhou.

After Zhu Chengyuan was ordered by the emperor to return to Beijing to be raised, Li Ping's power overwhelmed Zhu Zhenliang who took over the Zhu family army for a period of time.If it hadn't been for Zhu Zhenliang beheading the former Xiongnu king in one fell swoop, greatly defeating the spirit of the Xiongnu, and thus being promoted to be the first-rank military marshal, Li Ping would still be firmly on top of him.

Li Ping's status among the Dajing soldiers is clear at a glance.

It is conceivable what kind of turmoil his death will bring.

Not to mention what kind of changes the Dajing sergeants will bring about because of this, the Qiang people who moved after hearing the news alone will be enough for the Liangzhou garrison to suffer a lot.

Even Emperor Zhenyuan secretly hated Li Ping in his heart. If Li Ping died sooner, he would die too badly!

In the current situation, the emperor's rectification of the military system has just started a fire, and it is time to strike while the iron is hot. His death is bound to cause another major change in the military regulations set by His Majesty the Emperor.And it's the beginning of summer in April, when the cold in Liangzhou in the northwest recedes, it's the time when the Qiang and Huns are gearing up after recharging their energy!

The news of his death is giving the enemy morale a boost!

The Xiongnu hadn't recovered from the death of the previous Hunnu king years ago, and the new king elected by the Empress Dowager Huerdo was still young.

But the Qiang people are not vegetarians, and they are not fools either. They are like cats stealing fish and come to Liangzhou without stopping after smelling the smell.

After the first battle, three cities were lost in succession!The Qiang people who had fattened up the entire spring and winter were in a state of invincibility, and the defender who was ordered to replace Li Ping failed to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop in advance, but retreated steadily. As a result, His Majesty the Emperor as far away as Luojing was also furious, and all the officials were frightened. The situation in the state can calm down soon.

Fortunately, not long after the new year, Emperor Zhenyuan transferred half of Zhu's army back to Liangzhou. At the critical moment, he ordered Zhu's army to go west to support the Jincheng garrison.

The Qiang people also knew that they had to fight fast to gain advantage in this battle. They were not naive enough to think that once Li Ping died, Liangzhou would be theirs. People's lives and Dajing extort money and food.

There are not a few people who have the same idea as the Qiang people. Even the Huns who are resting and recuperating don’t want to let go of this opportunity. Several battles were triggered on the border between Liangzhou and Xianbei. Take a share of the pie when Dajing seeks peace.This is still the case with the Huns, let alone the barbarians in the south and pirates in the east.

All of a sudden, the surroundings are in a state of emergency!

After the Qiang people captured Jincheng in one fell swoop, they sent envoys to send the agreement to Luojing.

Zhu's army also arrived at the border of Jincheng within a short period of time. The violent Zhu's army didn't care about any peace agreements, but when they reached the border, they started to counterattack without even basic repairs.This battle lasted for three full months before the lost prefectures and counties including Jincheng were recaptured, and the Qiang people were forced out of the country.

And Zhu's army didn't stop there. When the war in the four realms had not subsided, they broke into the Qiang tribe in one fell swoop, and they would never stop dying!

The northern border of Xianbei ended the war one step faster than the western border of Liangzhou. The coach Zhu Zhenliang personally led the army to defeat the Xiongnu. Not only did they not let the Xiongnu take advantage of troubled waters, they also annexed two cities of the Xiongnu against the trend and captured tens of thousands of soldiers!

The war in the northwest and the south was reversed, and the crisis in the southeast was unbreakable. A crisis that kept the royal family awake at night only finally came to an end after four months.

Emperor Zhenyuan issued two reward orders to reward Zhu's army, and the border guards of the four borders made great achievements in battle.

The major garrisons in Liangzhou, especially the Zhu family army, still clung to the Qiang enemy, and the letter of peace request from the Xiongnu was also placed on Emperor Zhenyuan's desk.

Two cities, tens of thousands of military prisoners, the price the Xiongnu had to pay was jointly agreed upon by civil servants and generals, and the compensation was two thousand stones of fine iron, five hundred fine-bred hummers, and countless cattle and sheep.Zhu Jiajun's butcher's knife hung over his head, and the Huns had to bow their heads and admit defeat.

It was an unexpected joy that the original Xianbei people and migrants were united in the war.

Although the Xiongnu separated from the Xianbei tribe and established their own family, their hatred with the Xianbei people is comparable to that of Dajing. Seeing that the Zhu family army beat the greedy Xiongnu devils to pieces, and all the cattle and sheep paid for were distributed to the hands of the people , This undoubtedly made the people of Xianbei celebrate and rejoice.

Zhu Dingbei, who was far away in Luojing, saw that the situation had stabilized, and his heart was full of joy, even more joyful than when he watched the Li family general wither and take revenge on his big vengeance.

Old Hou Ye: "Good! Get rid of my mother's Qiang people, if I don't lose all my pants, my mother is not my soldier! Hahaha!"

Zhu Dingbei restrained the corners of his mouth from grinning, and said, "Grandpa, don't be too happy. This battle of the Qiang people will last until the end of September at the most, and it will be embarrassing for Zhu's army in Liangzhou."

Originally, half of the Zhu's army was dispatched back to Liangzhou to replace the frontier defense of Xihai and Xiping counties, which were originally stationed by Dou's army. The guard, although he has not rectified his name now, he is actually in charge of Jincheng's frontier defense.

What an important place Jincheng is now under the control of Zhu's army, but Emperor Zhenyuan could not transfer Zhu's army away within a year or two, and could only let Zhu's army take root in Jincheng County.

The largest pass in Liangzhou, the northern frontier defense of Xianbei Prefecture is all guarded by Zhu's army, which completely deviates from Emperor Zhenyuan's original vision.

Zhu Dingbei analyzed it carefully for the old Hou Ye, and finally said: "It is difficult for us to ride a tiger now. Your Majesty the Emperor, it is easy to ask God to send God away, and we also want to go but can't go. Now, His Majesty may want to do it." Trying to weaken our control in the north."

The Huns were weak, and Emperor Zhenyuan naturally valued the safety of Liangzhou more than the disaster Liangzhou faced from the Qiang enemies.

Old Lord Hou said: "Xianbei Mansion's defenses are already mature, it doesn't matter if my Zhu family army is here, if His Majesty wants you to be transferred back to Liangzhou, that's a good thing."

The commander of their Zhu family has guarded Jincheng for generations, and the battle of Xianbei allowed the Li family to take control of Jincheng. Now it is justifiable for Zhu's army to go back.

Zhu Dingbei shook his head, "This is not the best policy."

He stood in front of the defense map of the four borders, crossed the border of Xianbei Mansion with his finger, and explained to the old Hou Ye: "Xianbei Mansion has a vast territory, and the border defense line is too long. In addition to the Huns, there are also many wild beasts and savages harassing the border. These things are no easier to deal with than the Xiongnu. The Zhu family's army cooperates well and takes the point as the surface. To keep the Xianbei stable, you must spare no effort and never slack off. If the newly deployed garrison from the original Yong and You three prefectures is to guard this side, I am afraid it will be difficult. It takes a while to be peaceful."

Although the old Hou Ye had only been stationed in Xianbei for half a year, he understood what Zhu Dingbei said.

He said with concentration: "If this is the case, the handover time may take anywhere from three months to half a year. The most taboo thing about deployment is that the two armies have too much contact. Your Majesty will definitely not want Zhu's army to intervene too much in the internal affairs of the garrison."

Not to mention the training of these soldiers.

His Majesty the Emperor replaced the Xianbei garrison for the purpose of decentralizing power, not to send troops to Zhu's army.Even if you state the key points and ask His Majesty for special permission, it may not be feasible.

Zhu Dingbei rubbed his forehead, "Besides, we'll leave, and it will only be five years at most, and Dad will definitely be transferred back to Xianbei."

Old Hou Ye frowned, thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out why Zhu Dingbei was so sure, so he asked, "What does your grandson mean by that?"

Zhu Dingbei hooked the corners of his mouth and said: "Grandpa and Queen Mother Hu Erduo have fought against each other several times. In your opinion, when the Xiongnu is striving for stability, they will be so short-sighted that they will attack Liangzhou when the situation is chaotic. Xianbei Mansion?"

The old master said: "I originally thought that she was old and could not control the Huns as before, and the young master was not good enough, so she never fought against the aggressive people. The meaning of longevity... means that she deliberately indulged the people who disobeyed her to die, and took the opportunity to completely Control the situation of the Huns?"

"The desert lizard regenerates with a severed tail, and Huerdo's nature is as decisive as it is. It is only a matter of time before those who disobey her are abandoned by her." Zhu Dingbei affirmed the old master's statement, and said in a deep voice: "But this time is a great opportunity for her. Not only did the Xiongnu not get a bargain, but they paid so much. The reputation of those who fought the war must be greatly reduced. It is what the people want when she deals with these people. It is also logical to regain control of the Xiongnu's military administration."

Old Hou Ye hissed, "With that old hag's ability, within five years, the Xiongnu's military strength will definitely be restored to its most ferocious period. At that time, ordinary people will really not be able to stabilize the situation in the northern border."

It's not that he boasted, Liangzhou's defenders can compete with Zhu's army, but these defenders can't move easily, and the garrisons deployed from other states are mediocre. opponent.

Isn't this...a dead end?

If Jincheng and Xianbei Zhu's army can't let go, then will His Majesty the emperor go on and on and replace the guard of Zhu's army with someone he likes?

Killing the enemy and killing the head, the old Hou thought, if he is Emperor Zhenyuan, the most direct and effective way is to let Zhu's army reassure him.
