After the rebirth, the emperor will never forget me

==========================

"The general has thought about it... how to explain it to the brothers?"

Yao Guilin stared at him blankly and said.

Lanxi Zhu frowned, "Guilin, this is not your business."

Yao Guilin's face became even paler.

Yes, he was an outsider the whole time.

He and the person opposite are from two worlds.

Yao Guilin got up uneasy, and found that his knees were numb.

"Guilin, don't leave, I have something to tell you." Lan Xizhu stopped his footsteps, "Did your father tell you about Miss Ji's family?"

Yao Guilin's face was blank for a while, then he shook his head. "The general said that Miss Ji's family is Ji Rulan, who was ordered by Zhongshu to advance?"

"It was him."

Lanxi Zhu nodded.

"Master Ji has already made a marriage contract for you. You have been outside the Great Wall for a long time. I will pass you on to his family."

It is ironic to say that one has to hear about one's marriage from the mouth of the person one admires.

Yao Guilin twitched the corners of his mouth, "I'm humbled to obey orders."

Seeing that he agreed so easily, Lanxizhu had a bad premonition in his heart.

"On your wedding day, I will give you a big gift."

Yao Guilin turned a deaf ear, "General... let's forget it."

Why poke his heart with something like this?

"Ms. Ji's family once made a marriage contract with me, but then the Ji family fell into decline. In order not to let people gossip, the two elders of the Ji family also wanted their daughter to find a loving person, so they broke up with me. .”

Lanxizhu explained lightly, "May you marry her and treat her well, she is a rare and good girl."

Yao Guilin was shocked.

"General." He nodded and said, "I won't marry her for a lowly position."

Lanxi Zhu frowned.

"I don't like her, so I definitely won't treat her well. Thank you Miss Ji for your love, I can't afford it. Wait..." Yao Guilin swallowed bitterly, "After the general gets married, I would like to petition Transfer back to Saibei."

Lanxi Zhu sighed, knowing that this matter cannot be forced.

He had expected this ending since he first knew who Miss Ji's lover was.

It would be unfair to her to force Yao Guilin to marry Ji Rulan.

It seems that it is difficult for two people to be happy. Not everything in this world is perfect.As a bystander, he can only sigh one or two things.

"You go down."

Lanxi Zhu waved his sleeves, and then asked people to leave his tent.

On the second day, the march continued as usual.

They arrived at Ibaraki, the main city in the southwest, on the afternoon of the third day.Perhaps because of the war, the formerly prosperous Ibaraki was deserted, and only soldiers on patrol came and went.

This scene is also very common in Saibei.

The surrounding small towns are densely populated, and Lanxi Zhudun feels a headache.

He couldn't connect these cities closely at all.

"Calculate the number of troops stationed in the cities below and report to me."

"Observe Hiran's battle situation."

"Where is the opponent's coach at this time?"

Lanxi Zhu didn't have time to drink his saliva as soon as he got there, so he quickly set up a situation.

For some reason, Lan Xizhu always felt that Cui Chengyan was here for him this time.

Although he has no enmity with him, but if the opponent wants to build up his prestige faster and more effectively, taking off his own head is the first choice.

The two had never fought before, and both sides had no idea.

Lanxizhu sleeps with her clothes on in anxiety.

In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard a noise from outside.

He quickly rushed out the door and boarded the viewing platform.

The patrolling soldiers had already noticed the change and beat the drums directly.

"Defend the city!"

Lanxizhu shouted loudly, he didn't expect Cui Chengyan's ambitions to be obvious, and he was directly preparing to attack the main city.

It's also my fault that they came from Hengdu too slowly, and they didn't have time to prepare for the battle.

As the main city, Ibaraki must have the most troops, at least [-].

But Lanxi Zhu made a rough estimate, and the opponent had a large number of soldiers and horses, which may far exceed the garrison of Nanheng.

Cui Chengyan is optimistic, waiting for him to distribute the soldiers and horses he brought to other cities, and then concentrate the main force to attack the main city.

"Where's the sentinel! Where's the scout!" Lanxi Zhu said angrily, "Let them look at things for nothing?"

Such a big movement, he has only now noticed.

"Return to the general, our soldiers have already died outside, it should be made by the Xilan people." The guard beside him was sweating coldly, "Meng Shenling of the Western Army contacted Sucheng directly in the morning, but he failed to contact him. Only the letter came to Ibaraki. In the past, Zhen Xihou always contacted the people under him in Sucheng, and it didn’t matter if it was delayed for half a day, but the menacing on the other side took advantage of this loophole..."

After all, it was Cui Chengyan who was cunning, knowing that Lanxizhu had never fought in the southwest and did not understand the combat rules here, so he raided Ibaraki and wanted to take it in one fell swoop.

It's not that Lanxizhu didn't expect the opponent to attack back, but he didn't expect the speed of the opponent to be so fast, and he didn't expect that all the sentinels and scouts sent out were dead.

"There may be spies in Ibaraki." He said with concentration, and the soldiers behind him were shocked when they heard this.

They have never had any spies in Southwest China.

But if you think about it, if it weren't for the spies, you wouldn't be able to explain what happened today.

They were only surprised that there had always been an enemy lurking among them.

"Let's not mention the sentinels for now. But in Nanheng's military regulations, the whereabouts of scouts are kept secret." Lan Xizhu secretly thought badly.

"Give me the binoculars."

Lanxizhu took over the binoculars of a soldier beside him, and observed carefully for a while.

The opponent's military flag was flying high, and under the moonlight, it could only be vaguely seen clearly.As for whether Cui Chengyan came, he couldn't see it at all.

"Call General Tang."

he ordered.

Tang Xide is the third brother's confidant. He used to hear the third brother often mention it.

Looking at the pitch-black enemy army in the distance, Lanxi Zhu's heart beat much faster than usual.

Disadvantage of apprenticeship.

On the battlefield, one mistake can wipe out an entire army.

It was because he was not thinking carefully.

After a while, Tang Xide trotted over sweating profusely.

He was originally guarding the west gate, so he hurried over after listening to Lanxizhu's order.

Lanxi Zhu cut to the point before he could salute, "Did Zhen Xihou set up a hidden line in the opponent's camp?"

Things would not be so bad if they also had spies buried among the enemy troops.

Tang Xide nodded and said, "Yes, General."

He thought for a while, "Among Hiran's five armies, we have inserted more than a dozen lines."

Lanxizhu frowned, "There are so many of us, and no one has sent back news?"

Xilan's army attacked directly like this, and no one had notified them in advance so that they could be prepared.

"To tell you the truth, general, since Qi Huai returned to Xilan and took control of the military, we have reported fewer and fewer people. I suspect...they have been secretly removed."

Tang Xide looked regretful, "The new lord has succeeded to the throne in the past two days, and there has been no news from the army. Lord Hou has arranged secret lines in the enemy army for more than ten years, and they were all killed just like that."

Lanxi Zhu took a deep breath.

What Tang Xide saw from it might be Xilan's ability to catch all the spies, and what he saw was Cui Chengyan's plan to kill with a knife.

Qi Huai was not honest when he was in Nanheng, and he also held private soldiers in his hands.

He has some kind of secret connection with the military department of the imperial court. Perhaps it is for this reason that it is so easy to find out their dark lines.

So when Qi Huai was in power before, Cui Chengyan didn't care at all.

He didn't know what method Cui Chengyan relied on to win Qi Huai, but he knew that this person had a lot of scheming.With Qi Huai's hand, he paved the way for himself, and then waited until the last moment to counterattack.

Lanxi Zhu really underestimated him, thinking that this man was just a stunned young man who didn't know his tune, who traveled thousands of miles to Nanheng to find Su Weichen at the most difficult moment, and suffered a plague.

Thinking about it now, maybe all of this is under his control.

From the moment he knew that Cui Chengyan had succeeded to the throne, Lan Xizhu re-evaluated him.

The more Lan Xizhu thought about it, the more frightened he became, until Xilan's army was less than a mile away from Ibaraki, he took a deep breath and said to Tang Xide, "I want you to do one thing."

"Now quickly call someone out of the city through the secret passage, and then rush to Hengdu to find a medical officer named Su Weichen. You don't need any souvenirs, you just need to ask that person to relay the situation in the southwest to Su Weichen Chen is fine. As for what he does, you don’t have to worry about it.”

"Yes."

Although Tang Xide felt that this order was a bit weird, he still accepted it without hesitation.

Lanxizhu hated her selfishness very much at this moment.

He told Su Weichen back then to keep him away from Cui Chengyan.

But everything was too coincidental, and the current situation forced him to use this life-saving card.

Lanxizhu doesn't care about fame and wealth, he is just afraid of the land under his feet, and he is only afraid of the people who have lived on this land for generations.

"It's not a last resort..." He murmured in a daze with blank eyes.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, he will not use Su Weichen.

Even if the other party's condition for abandoning the city was his own life, he accepted it.Cui Chengyan may kill himself, but he will not hurt Su Weichen, this is his reason to comfort himself, but there is still a strong sense of guilt lingering in his heart.

Hope it doesn't end in the worst.

But things backfired, the opponent was like fire and water, and the [-] soldiers in Ibaraki couldn't resist it at all.

The nearby soldiers and horses have been transferred back to Ibaraki, but they will not return for a while.

People on the front line said that Cui Chengyan ordered people to use the mountains in the southwest to ambush the Nanheng army, and they suffered heavy losses on the road.

In just one day, more than half of their people in Ibaraki were injured.

Lanxi Zhu had never felt so powerless.

Maybe the third brother felt the same way when he was in Saibei.

He had a... bad feeling.

He may not last until the second day of next month.

"General, the other party has agreed to withdraw their troops!"

Lanxizhu was hurrying to get his dinner in the tent when a person broke into him suddenly.

Looking at his appearance, everyone around him stopped him from entering.

"Let him in."

Lanxi Zhu frowned. "Sheeran agrees to withdraw troops, on what terms?"

Looking at the people rolling and crawling on the ground, he spoke eagerly.

The people around him tried their best to wink at him, and some even wanted to do it directly.

Lanxi Zhu narrowed his eyes: "Say."

The person kneeling on the ground was shocked, "The enemy coach said that the general should come."

As long as Lanxizhu is willing to disarm and abandon his troops, Xilan is willing to withdraw directly.
