Raiders Guide

Ji Muxian didn't wait until the day when King Jin and the eighth princess got married, so he wanted to lead his troops to suppress the bandits.

The Li family and the Xie family brought a total of 100 million taels of military pay with the family, and Emperor Zhaohe sent it to the border with the troops borrowed by Jiangbei the day before.

Yan Yushu sat on the second floor of the wine shop, watching Emperor Zhaohe perform for Ji Muxian from afar.

Ji Muxian was going to suppress the bandits on the water, so he needed a navy, and he didn't bring many people with him.

But in fact, the navy may not be much better than the army. There are no good ships and no good weapons.

At three o'clock, Ji Muxian led the army out of the city, and most of the people came to see him off, shouting that King Chong would send troops and return in triumph.

Ji Muxian passed by the restaurant, raised his head, and glanced at Yan Yushu.

Yan Yushu raised his glass and drank it down.

Behind Ji Muxian were the soldiers who were about to follow him through life and death, smiled at Yan Yushu, and led the soldiers out of the city.

This time, life and death are unpredictable.

Yan Yushu remembered what Ji Muxian said the day before yesterday, "The rear will be left to you."

With a long sigh, in the face of a great enemy, you should put aside your personal grievances, forget about party disputes, and devote yourself to serving the country is what a man should do.

He will definitely guard the rear for Yan Yurong and Ji Muxian.

In the borderlands, there was a strong wind, and the flags with the characters of Yan on the towers swayed with the wind. The flags were affected by the flames of war and were in dilapidated condition, and some of them could not even read the characters of Yan.

The city tower is in a state of depression, many places have gaps, and the walls are covered with mottled marks. The Khitan's continuous attacks made the soldiers guarding the city exhausted.

The troops were too small to go down to the tower to rest. The Khitan might attack at any time, so Yan Yurong could only order people to rest on the spot and change shifts. Once the Khitan attacked, all soldiers could immediately participate in the battle.

"General!" The spies burst into the door with tears in their eyes, "Yan, the third son of Yan took over the position of the national teacher, and won 100 million taels of military pay for our army from the family! Jiangbei has borrowed [-] troops and is already heading to the border. General! I, we can hold it, we can hold it!"

"it is good!"

"OK……"

"Great!"

The soldiers in the room shouted, in order to guard the border, they have been naked for more than a month, and the military pay and food have been exhausted. All the soldiers are exhausted. Now the [-] troops and military pay are their life-saving straw .

Yan Yurong calmed down and asked, "How long will it take to deliver?"

"It's been five days since we left."

"Okay." Yan Yurong patted the table, "In fifteen days at most, we can wait for reinforcements and pay!"

"Yes, General, we will definitely be able to hold on to these fifteen days, we will definitely be able to."

"The spies in the rear have also sent news that bandits are rampant in the land above the water. King Chong has been ordered to go to suppress the bandits, and King Chong has handed over the money left by the Liu family. As long as we can keep it, the army will not have to worry about salary."

As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers became more confident, "We will definitely live up to your Majesty's expectations. As long as we have breath, we will be able to guard the border and never let the Khitan cavalry set foot on me."

"It is thanks to Mr. Yan San that our soldiers are able to get from today. No, it is our national teacher. What we are using now is the military salary sent by the national teacher, and let him bow his head to ask for the military salary from the family. We will never let him The national teacher is disappointed."

"Never let the national teacher down."

Yan Yurong looked at the map and asked, "The bandits in the land of Jingchu and Xiangchu, can someone send someone to exterminate them!"

As soon as he said this, the hall fell silent, and the spy whispered, "Dasheng is short of troops now, and all available troops have been sent here. There are really no soldiers who can go to Jingchu."

Yan Yurong took a deep breath, "Forget it, keep the harbor open so that we can develop our economy if we become prosperous. Let's wait for the rogues in the land of Jingchu to wait for the future."

"General, there is one more thing..." The spy hesitated to speak, hesitating whether he should tell the news he knew.

"What's the matter?"

"Miss Yun, she...she doesn't want to get married, she is ordained to become a monk..."

"What?" Yan Yurong had a dull pain in her heart, stood up and covered her heart, and asked in an unbelievable hoarse voice, "What did you say?"

He originally thought that if he wants to guard this border for the rest of his life, he can't miss her for the rest of his life. As long as she is safe and happy for the rest of her life, even if she is full of children and grandchildren, it is worth it for him to guard this frontier.

"Miss Yun, she...she became a monk..."

"Ah." The pain in her heart was as if someone was gouging it out with a knife, so Yan Yurong got up and ran.

The generals who reacted quickly stepped forward and hugged him from behind, "General, where are you going?"

"I, I'm going to meet her, I'm going to marry her, let me go, let me go!"

Yan Yurong was tall and tall, and the generals tried their best to hug him, "General! You are leaving now, what about these soldiers! What about the people at the border, they will become lonely ghosts under the Khitan cavalry."

"General, we know you are uncomfortable, but this is the end of the matter, you can't leave everyone at this time."

Yan Yurong was on the verge of collapse, trying to break free with both hands and feet, "Let go! Let me go, let me go to see her! Let me go to see her... ah ah..."

Several people hugged him and rolled to the ground, "General!"

"General! It's us, we are the ones who left the general behind, we are the ones who are sorry for Miss Yun!"

"Report! The Khitan has attacked again!" The person who came to report, seeing the appearance of everyone in the lobby, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "General, the Khitan has committed another attack."

"Ah." Yan Yurong lay on the ground, tears streaming down her dusty face, and shouted loudly, "Shou!"

"Yes……"

Several generals who hugged him got up one after another, grabbed their swords and rushed out. Yan Yurong wiped the tears from his face and went out with his swords.

"Archer ready!"

"Rolling Stones ready!"

Yan Yurong approached, and from a distance, he saw the Khitan army rushing over with the force of thunder. The soldiers in the city had already aimed their bows and arrows and were carrying stones.

Yan Yurong took out a dusty handkerchief in his bosom, and said loudly, "Soldiers, there are already 100 troops and [-] million military salaries urgently sent to the border. We have not been abandoned, we have not been abandoned, as long as we can If we stay for fifteen days, we will have inexhaustible military pay! We can change our weapons, have someone change shifts for us, and be able to rest. Do you have the confidence to keep it for fifteen days! "

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Very good! Behind us are our relatives, our lovers, our friends, and thousands of people in Dasheng. As long as we can walk and carry a knife, we must block the Khitan cavalry and protect me, Dashengda. Heshan."

Yan Yurong raised her voice and shouted hoarsely, "We will fight until the last moment!"

"Fight to the end!"

The confidence of the soldiers has been boosted, and the morale is soaring. Yan Yurong grabbed the handkerchief in his hand, carefully rubbed his thumb against the cloud on the top, and put it back into his arms. The Khitan army was approaching, Yan Yurong waved and said, "Shoot the arrow!"

There was a voice on the city wall, "Shoot the arrow!"

"Fire arrows!"

The arrows shot towards the Khitan army like a storm.

Yan Yushu looked at the prince lying on the bed, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

He just came here after receiving the invitation from the prince, but now the prince can't get up, so he just talks like this?

"Yushu, sit down quickly." The prince was lying on the bed, unable to get up.He said softly to Yan Yushu, "Thank you so much for coming here to speak up for the orphan. Otherwise, the royal father has moved the idea of ​​abolishing the prince."

Yan Yushu found a stool beside the bed and sat down, and softly persuaded the prince, "Your Highness, you are too worried. Your Majesty has trained you for many years, but you were just out of breath that day. How could you really abolish the prince."

The crown prince did not agree with Yan Yushu's words, nor did he deny that "this time King Chong went out for an expedition, he must return with military power in his hands, I am afraid it will not be the same."

Yan Yushu smiled and said, "Your Highness, now that Dasheng has internal and external troubles, it is a good thing that His Highness King Chong can get rid of this internal trouble."

"Gu understands, so he didn't stop it." The prince suggested, "My grandfather means that he can't be allowed to develop, and find a trustworthy person to go with him as a military adviser. In this way, we can also know his every move."

He had no way to suppress the bandits, so he wanted to control Ji Muxian. What's more, if he suddenly attacked Ji Muxian one day, wouldn't it be impossible to guard against.

Release people from Ji Muxian's army, how do you know that there is no prince in Yan Yurong's army?

There must be, otherwise, how could General Liu be killed so easily back then.

Yan Yu scoffed in a low voice, "Your Highness, if the military adviser and the general are at odds in the army, who should the soldiers listen to? This will cause morale to plummet. Dasheng is now at the end of his battle. Your Highness should not act like this again."

Asking Yan Yushu to scold him with a smile, the crown prince couldn't hold back his face, and managed to maintain a smile, "Yushu, what do you think King Jin is thinking now?"

He already knew what Yan Yushu was thinking, since he disagreed.At that time, when releasing people from the army, it would be best not to let Yan Yushu know.

At this time, Yan Yushu was already a teacher of the state and won the hearts of the people. He didn't want Yan Yushu to turn against him because of this, so he had to change the topic.

Yan Yushu knew in his heart that the prince asked him this because he already had a grudge against King Jin, but he didn't tear himself apart.

"It's hard to guess what King Jin is thinking right now."

"According to Yu Shu, the mildewed rice in the western suburbs was caused by King Jin?" The crown prince could not move, and propped up half of his body. Who is willing to give up like this?"

It is only a matter of time before the crown prince and King Jin are separated, and Yan Yushu must be prepared.

"What the prince said is true. It's just that we don't have evidence that it was His Royal Highness King Jin who did it."

This matter may not be caused by King Jin, but if the crown prince wants to be caused by King Jin, it is better to lead it to King Jin and let them fight, without the energy to focus on Ji Muxian and Yan Yurong.

"There is no evidence..." The prince sneered, "Now that the three divisions are interrogating, I just don't believe that Zhao Shijie can't get something out of his mouth."

Zhao Shijie was the one sent by the crown prince to deliver rice and grain, but since he did it, he would not easily admit that it was instructed by someone.

If you don't pay attention, I'm afraid you will commit suicide in fear of crime.At that time, the crown prince will have to bear the crime of giving moldy rice to the people.

"Your Highness, it is inappropriate to act rashly at this time. Now that King Jin has sent good rice to the people in the western suburbs, it has received unanimous praise. His Majesty also values ​​him a lot, so it is better to avoid his edge."

Mentioning this, the prince became even more angry, "Unanimous praise, it is Gu, who personally reclaimed wasteland for them and built houses for them, but now he has forgotten Gu, and it is all on King Jin's head."

"That's how people's hearts are." Yan Yu wrote with a smile all the time, "His Royal Highness should understand that even if you do a hundred good things, as long as you do one bad thing, others will remember that bad thing."

The prince angrily hammered the bed, and Yan Yushu pointed out something, "It's like, a good person, if you do one bad thing, you are a bad person, and a bad person, as long as you do one good thing, he will be a good person who reined in the precipice and turned his back on his ways." .”

The prince looked at him and asked coldly, "What do you mean by that?"

What do you mean, of course it's the outrageous things you did, others don't remember them, but I will help you remember them.

"The matter of King Jin sending rice was proposed by His Royal Highness Ming." Yan Yushu reminded, "His Royal Highness, if His Royal Highness Ming is really a person who is obsessed with calligraphy and painting, he was born by a court lady, without a mother and concubine, how can he live in this cannibalistic harem?" When he grows up, His Majesty still has to bestow the title King Ming. Back then, Concubine Liu Gui was very favored, but His Majesty bestowed the title of His Highness King Chong. Thus, it can be seen that King Ming is not a person with a pure heart."

"You mean, he and King Jin joined forces?"

"I just want to remind His Highness that His Highness King Ming is not as simple as it appears on the surface. As for whether there is a joint effort, I can't say for sure."

Who is it, who can use a member of the imperial army to let the imperial army capture Li Er's son, intending to blame the Yan family? water.

That day, Ji Muxian recommended King Ming to send new rice, but King Ming pushed it to King Jin.

Is it because he really can't do it, because he is afraid that the prince will harm himself, or because this is his plan.

The prince pondered for a while, then smiled and said, "Yushu also knows that he is the son of a court lady, and there is no one behind him. Even if he joins hands with King Jin, it will be of no use."

"It's good that your Highness knows it in your heart." Yan Yushu's goal was achieved, he got up and saluted, "Your Highness, Yushu is leaving."

"Well. Gu is like this now, you can't send jade books, don't let jade books go outside."

Yan Yushu laughed and said, "How dare you trouble Your Highness, Yushu will resign."

The marriage between King Jin and Zhong Yunxi was held grandly, the eighth princess was married to Jiangbei, and the guard of honor and dowry covered a street in Chang'an.

Yan Yuwan's baby fell to the ground, it was a boy named Lu Shengyang.

Soon, Concubine Yu's child was also born, a prince, a great joy, and Emperor Zhaohe named her Ji Muyu.

Yan Yushu balances the relationship between the crown prince and King Jin like walking on thin ice in the court.

Yan Yurong had the military pay and the army, and defended the Khitan's successive invasions.

Ji Muxian wiped out the water bandits. In the fifth month, there were good news, and after that, the good news continued.

King Jin doted on his concubine and killed his wife, which caused Zhong Yunxi to have a miscarriage, and the emperor severely punished him once. The concubine even gave Bai Ling to calm Jiangbei's anger.

The prince wholeheartedly believed that King Jin had betrayed him, and dealt with King Jin, maintained a superficial peace with King Jin, and secretly fought to the death.

But is the Yun family the opponent of the Li family? If it wasn't for Yan Yushu's secret help, King Jin would have been defeated long ago.
