Better to live forever [Rebirth]

After Old Marshal Zhu returned from his patrol on the city wall, the first thing he did when he returned to his tent was to clamor for spirits.

The past two years have been strictly controlled by the mother-in-law at home, but the climate in Xianbei Prefecture is very different from that in Luojing. If you don't drink wine to drive out the cold in this weather, your limbs may freeze to death.He said to the generals below: "The good meat raised in the capital is a waste."

Everyone can see that the old marshal's sword is not old, and his determination on the battlefield has not been worn out over the years. On the contrary, after returning to the battlefield this time, the old marshal changed his old style of being a close friend and rectified in the army.

Not only those garrisons, but even Zhu's army did not let go.

This time, the conviction and accident of the Zhu family’s commander-in-chief caused turmoil in the Zhu family’s army, and many people were used by others to incite them. The garrison of Xianbei Mansion was selected, and the result was irreversible even if the Zhu family apologized.

The old marshal didn't stop once he entered Xianbei, and he was the first to deal with all those who violated the military regulations in the Zhu family's army without exception.

Many of these people are the retainers of the Zhu family, and they have served under the Zhu family for several generations. Don't talk about affection.This is true for the Zhu family army, but it is even more merciless in dealing with those garrison troops. Rewards and punishments are clearly defined, and the most direct and iron-blooded means are used to rectify Xianbei's military affairs as quickly as possible under the crisis of the Huns sending troops, regroup and lead the army to fight against the enemy.

This battle is easy to say, but it is not easy to say that it is difficult to fight.

Dajing turned the tide at the critical moment, causing the Xiongnu and Qiang to lose the opportunity. The Dajing army took the lead and controlled the war situation in the northern and western borders within a month.

On the contrary, the balance of power in Ningzhou is worrying.

The Panyue Shan Kingdom made a comeback, and this time the Qiang people were no longer fishermen, but joined the battle as soon as possible.They also understood that after Old Marshal Zhu regained control of Zhu's army, there would be fewer hands and feet to do in the west and north. Fighting in snowy weather would exhaust each other, and the climate in Ningzhou turned the southwest into the first battlefield.

Everyone in Dajing paid close attention to the battle situation, and the old marshal in Xianbei Mansion also encountered difficult problems.

It is still Xianbei with five surnames.

The nature of these rebels is very special, and the crimes they committed are enough to implicate the three clans, and Dajing cannot tolerate it.But the law does not blame the public. These five surnames are the common surnames of the Xianbei ethnic group, accounting for the majority of the local population. No matter how much they say they want to wash them with blood, in the end they have great respect for these ethnic groups who have been included in Dajing's native place. It is still necessary to give tolerance and try to persuade and appease them as much as possible.

In this matter, Zhu Jiajun's position is only to assist the government, not to issue orders.

As long as they confirm the withering order of the prefectural pastor's seal and letter, they can just follow it, but the cooperation between Zhu Jiajun and Xianbei officials can no longer be as close and trusting as before.No matter how Gao Feiyang and the governors of the state were misled and used by the enemy at the beginning, the letter of complaint they sent to the capital was the fuse that set off the catastrophe of the Zhu family.The tragedy of the Zhu family was obvious to all, not to mention the serious injuries of the commander and others, even the life of General Zhu Quan was enough to make these loyal soldiers hate and hate these "culprits".

People in the officialdom have more brains than intestines. Even if they are assured of the Zhu family's IQ, they can't trust their brute force. They are afraid that one day these people will stab themselves in the back and take revenge on themselves.

If there is a suspicion in the heart, the cooperation between the two parties will be full of loopholes, and the result will be twice the result with half the effort.

After coming down several times, even the old marshal, who had been vaccinated by his grandson, was so angry that he wanted to kill these people.His biggest problem right now is that he has no useful counselors around him.

The old marshal's military adviser passed away before he was honored to return to Beijing. The old marshal was counting on Gu Chao'an, but he didn't expect that he had been stationed in Xianbei for more than a month, but he still didn't see Gu Chao'an and his family members.This broke the old Marshal's heart, almost when he was about to send troops to dig three feet in the Xianbei Mansion, Gu Chao'an brought a team of troops to the Huns' arsenal, bringing the latest Huns' armor back.

After Zhu Dingbei read the letter, his heart finally settled down.

In his heart, Gu Chao'an also described the situation of that day in detail.

On that day, Zhu Quan received a call for help from the villagers, and led his army to the resettlement village, where he clashed with several Xianbei people with five surnames. The thieves and the rebellious party burned all the evidence and framed Zhu Quan's massacre of the village.Knowing that Zhu Quan had fallen into the enemy's trap, he immediately sent troops back to the mansion to ask the military advisers to give advice. However, almost at the same time, the three counties in Xianbei Mansion were attacked by the Huns. The mansion was seized by the State Shepherd Holding Gold Order.

Gu Chao'an was keenly aware that something was wrong, so he arranged for the women's family and children to transfer with the government soldiers to ensure safety. It was just like this that he managed to escape the Xiongnu army disguised as Xianbei people with five surnames who later entered the government to kill them.

Although there are only a few words, the precariousness of the various situations still makes people feel shuddering in hindsight.

Heh, it really is Mie Men Mie's hands, and he wants to repeat the tragedy of the Huang family in Liangzhou in the Xianbei Commander's Mansion.

Zhu Dingbei narrowed his eyes, and when he found out the identities of these people, he let them experience the "pleasure" of humiliation.

Seeing his uneasy expression, Ning Heng comforted him. Fortunately, all the women and children in the family were unscathed, and other matters need to be resolved slowly, not in a hurry.

Zhu Dingbei laughed, of course he understood the truth, so he picked a happy topic and said: "Zhu Xiang has made a lot of progress in the past two years, and he also has a plan to court Uncle An. With the cooperation of the two of them, they He even managed to rob the Xiongnu’s arsenal and obtain armor. Haha, with this trick, after Huaxue starts the war, the Huns will not be able to please them.”

Although it is already the end of the new year, the weather in the northern border has not yet started to warm up at the end of January, and the war still has not been invested on a large scale.In mid-February, when the snow melted in the northern border, the Ministry of Industry also transformed the new armor.

"Your people are strong."

Ning Heng is definitely not flattering.

Not to mention the combat power of these elite soldiers, it was not easy for them to find Gu Chao'an and his party before Xianbei was in the Ning family and Zhu's house.

Zhu Dingbei accepted his compliment with a smile, they deserved it.

Zhu Dingbei is not a person who keeps secrets. He has spent all his energy on these elite soldiers, asking for silver for silver, and weapons for weapons. The training is based on the habits of Zhu Dingbei's previous life and the planning he has pondered on the marching strategy. It is not a problem for soldiers to deploy and train.After so many years, there are only more than 2000 people. They are all outstanding figures. He dared to say that looking at Quan Dajing, even in the Zhu family army, he could not find a team that could compete with them.

"Speaking of which, a few days ago, I had to believe that it was Tian Yi and Du Hui who solved the crisis in Liangzhou. This Tian Yi really impressed me." Zhu Dingbei praised, and said: "Ah Heng, he Now that I miss the old relationship with my family, I want to spend some time on him."

The first time he saw Tian Yi in the martial arts arena, he admired Tian Yi very much and had the desire to recruit, but now this idea is getting stronger every year.Tian Yi has kept in touch with the Zhu family since the Li family was about to fall, and there is a bond of affection.There is no doubt about his ability, but Zhu Dingbei still only intends to give it a try, and he has no confidence in whether Tian Yi's loyalty can make the Zhu family feel ashamed.

But this time, Tian Yi's reputation spread back to Luojing from Liangzhou.

After the petition for the Golden Order of the Taimiao, the emperor immediately sent a message to the three realms, but it was still a step too late.At that time, the coalition forces of the Qiang and the Huns had invaded on a large scale, approaching Jincheng in Liangzhou.Prior to this, several captains headed by Tian Yi discovered clues and smelled unusual meanings during patrolling, and were able to judge the possibility of the alliance between the Qiang and the Huns with limited knowledge, and persuaded Jin Cheng The stationed general Zhu Wu stepped up his guard.

Therefore, after the Dajing Army who stayed in Wusun and the Cheshi tribe who had no time to retreat bore the brunt, when they arrived at Jincheng, the first fortress, the alliance army of the Qiang and Huns was rejected from the city, and they mobilized to fight against the enemy immediately, without allowing the enemy to gain anything. benefit.

It can be seen from this that Tian Yi and other young soldiers of the faction are already fully capable of taking charge of their own affairs.

Ning Heng rationally poured cold water on him, saying: "Tian Yi and Du Hui are all disciples of the Son of Heaven."

Zhu Dingbei paused, and said: "Tian Yi's family is in a rough situation, and they may not have a good impression of the royal family that caused the family's ruin. Ah Heng said so, could it be that the emperor has already made a decision?"

Tian Yi's excellence will naturally attract the emperor's attention. This person is deep in the Jincheng Fortress of Liangzhou, and he is also a child of a poor family. These two points mean that he is more favored by the emperor than Dong Minghe in the navy.If the emperor wanted to recruit, Zhu Dingbei would have to bear a completely different risk if he wanted to intervene.Regardless of whether this person will leak secrets or not, if he plays Infernal Affairs and is double-faced, it is too dangerous to use such a person.

What is more agreeable to the two parties is that Tian Yi is still young, and there are still many years left to help train manpower, and the role it can play is immeasurable.

It's just that he can't conflict or intersect with the emperor militarily, and the increased risk of exposure means endless troubles.

"Not yet." Ning Heng shook his head, then evoked a meaningful smile, "Changsheng, if you really want to eat more in His Majesty's hands, it's not impossible."
