The little general is my favorite [Rebirth]

"That's Little General Song who captured Prince Beidi alive!"

"Hey!" The old man slapped his thigh, "Little General Song, I know!"

The old man was about to say something when he was interrupted by the salesman: "Who in Daning doesn't know Little General Song! He went to the battlefield at the age of 13, was brave and good at fighting, and killed countless enemies. He is simply the god of war!"

The old man stared at the man on the black horse, scratched his head, and was a little puzzled: "I thought that this little general Song could fight the enemy at such a young age, so he must be... a strong man with three big, five thick, and natural powers! At least... At least it must be the physique of Er Zhuang in our village!"

As the old man said, he gestured with his hand to a human figure two or three times his own size, then looked at the man on the black horse, frowned and said: "This black horse general has delicate skin and tender flesh, how can he look like the Song Dynasty who has killed countless enemies?" Little General?"

The salesman scoffed: "Why don't you say you are foreigners! Who in the capital doesn't know that Little General Song looks like a banished fairy, handsome and elegant, and he is also one of the best among the young masters in the capital!"

The salesman had a loud voice, and attracted the people around him, and they all crowded to the door of the teahouse.

"That's right, that's right! If Little General Song goes to take the imperial examination, he's going to look at that appearance, and His Majesty will also choose him to be a Tanhualang!"

"That's not true! I heard that when Little General Song went to school, his knowledge was very good..."

The old man still didn't believe it when he heard people's compliments from left to right. He stood on tiptoe and looked around vigorously. However, his old eyes were so dizzy that he couldn't see clearly, so he could only pick up his grandson to look at him, and then looked at him eagerly. .”

"He has a good family background, looks good, and has high literary and military skills. I don't know how many girls in the capital want to marry Little General Song!"

Song Huai was selected as the best man who was praised by everyone, and stood solemnly in front of the team, waiting for the arrival of Beidi's envoy.

Beidi was originally the collective name of the Central Plains for the 25 alien tribes outside the northern border. About 60 years ago, 25 tribes united to form Beidi, which became the biggest threat to the northern border of the Central Plains.

There are two main reasons for this, iron cavalry and iron weapons.

War horses are raised in the vast Yuemeng grassland, and the rolling Yantu Mountains are rich in iron ore, which is used to forge weapons. The previous dynasty was destroyed by Beidi's cavalry.

If it weren't for the harsh environment, frequent sandstorms and snowstorms, and the difficulty of self-sufficiency in farming, Beidi might become a great power.

In the previous dynasty, Emperor Chen Mo was fatuous and reckless, and used military expenditures to repair the palace. Northern Xinjiang was constantly invaded by Beidi, but he was unable to resist, and repeatedly cede land and pay compensation, which led to Beidi growing stronger.

When Emperor Chen Mo was indulging in singing and dancing, Huchaer, the largest tribal lord of Beidi, annexed the remaining 24 tribes by force, declared the founding of Beidi, and then sent his troops south to break through the capital in one fell swoop.

The country is broken, the mountains and rivers are broken, and the family is dead.

The ancestors of the Song family were military generals of the former dynasty. When the Chen royal family was destroyed, they led the remnant soldiers to protect the fleeing people and retreated southward.

At this time, Wang Qijianxing, who was enfeoffed in Yanzhou with a different surname, announced the establishment of an army to take in refugees.

The Song family, together with the He and Yue families, joined King Qi to resist foreign enemies and defend the country.

This battle lasted for seven years, and Beidi was finally beaten back to the Yuemeng Grassland and the rivers and mountains were recovered.

During this period, King Qi proclaimed himself emperor and took the country name Daning. After the victory, he changed his year name to Tianyuan.

The ancestors of the Song family were granted the title of Marquis of Dingbei, who led the Northern Guards and guarded the northern border.

Emperor Tianyuan reigned for 23 years and achieved 13 years of peaceful rule. In the next ten years, the new king of Beidi ascended the throne and repeatedly sent troops to harass the northern border. Although he did not start a large-scale war, it showed his wolfish ambition.

Song Huai's grandfather and his brothers were almost permanently stationed in northern Xinjiang, leading the Northern Guards to consolidate the line of defense.

In the 11th year of Chengshun, Song Huai's grandfather returned to Beijing to recuperate due to injury. Beidi made a comeback and invaded with troops. 19-year-old Song Xiao took the responsibility of guarding northern Xinjiang and led the army to go out.

Also in this year, Liu Meishan became pregnant and gave birth to Song Huai in the Mid-Autumn Festival of the following year.

In the spring of the 18th year of Chengshun, Song Huai was less than six years old, his grandfather died of illness, Song Xiao returned from victory, and became Marquis of Dingbei.

In the 23rd year of Chengshun, Emperor Chengshun died, and Prince Qi Han succeeded to the throne and changed Yuan Hongguang.In the winter of the first year of Hongguang, Beidi, who had been peaceful for six years, once again invaded northern Xinjiang, and Song Xiao went to northern Xinjiang again.

This battle lasted for four years, Song Xiao used his troops aggressively, pursued fiercely, Beidi retreated steadily, and surrendered to Daning for the first time for peace.

Just at this time, there was civil strife in Beidi. The Beidi war general Difeng broke with the Huchar royal family. The envoys who came to Daning to seek peace were also divided into two factions. Then Difeng, who usurped the throne and became king, refused to surrender and asked for peace, and sent troops to invade northern Xinjiang again. .

It was the fourth year of Hongguang, and Song Huai was 13 years old. He followed his father Song Xiao and went to the battlefield for the first time.

The three monarchs of Daning have thought about completely destroying Beidi and expanding the northern territory, but this is not an easy task.

One is the vast northern desert, grassland snow sea, desert wilderness, Daning's army does not know the way, let alone the water and soil, even if they find the king city of Beidi, it may be difficult to fully exert their combat power.

The second is that Beidi has a vast territory, but the environment is extremely harsh. Even if Beidi is conquered, in addition to the racecourse and mines, there are still large areas of desert and wilderness that need to be governed, and many survivors of foreign races need to be educated. How much manpower and material resources will it cost?

The third is that the war is tiring and the military expenditure is huge, which is easy to empty the national treasury. If taxes are increased rashly, the burden on the people will be increased; if there is no military supply, how can the soldiers charge forward?

When Emperor Tianyuan was in power, peace was finally ushered in, and the broken rivers and mountains were waiting for prosperity. How could there be extra energy to destroy Beidi?

When Emperor Chengshun was in power, he sent people into northern Xinjiang several times to explore the road, and used the bones of the explorers to find out the correct map step by step, in preparation for the destruction of Beidi.

Emperor Hongguang succeeded to the throne and wanted to conquer Beidi even more, so he supported Song Xiao's aggressive tactics very much, and finally defeated Beidi and surrendered for peace.Unexpectedly, the negotiations broke down, and the new king, Di Feng, was even more radical than Emperor Hongguang, to the point of belligerence!

But this time, Song Xiao could no longer confront him head-on.That is tantamount to taking the lives of the soldiers of the Northern Guards as a trifling matter!

Therefore, even if Song Xiao was extremely eager to send troops northward and wipe out Beidi in one fell swoop, he could only adopt a conservative strategy, focusing on defense and supplemented by counterattack.

So this tug-of-war lasted for six years, sometimes confronting and probing, sometimes fiercely attacking, until Song Huai led the army to destroy the main force of Beidi's cavalry and captured the eldest son of the king, Di Chuan, before Beidi surrendered again for peace.

After returning to Beijing for more than a month, Di Chuan has been locked in the prison, and Song Xiao personally interrogated him.And Di Chuan has been holding on, waiting for the arrival of Beidi's envoy, waiting for that glimmer of life.

At the end of the official road, a group of chariots and horses approached slowly, and Song Huai immediately recognized the familiar figure in the lead—General Tulie of Beidi who had fought against him many times.

Song Huai frowned slightly, and tightened the rein in his hand, it really was this... troublesome guy!

In restaurants in the downtown area of ​​the capital, the local people who came to fight the tooth festival, and the businessmen who came from south to north, all gathered in the lobby on the first floor to eat. The accountant at the door cracked his abacus and smiled brightly as usual.

"Have you heard? That lecherous and dissolute second son of the Anyang Marquis Mansion, who belittled the fifth lady of the Tao family, came to propose marriage with the cheek, and was kicked out by the Tao family!"

"It's a crime! Isn't the Fifth Miss of the Tao family in love with King Xuan?"

"No, no. I heard that the third miss of the Huo family is King Xuan's sweetheart, and she has King Xuan's fan pendant in her hand!"

"Come on! When have you ever seen King Xuan playing with a fan? It's not those sour literati!"

"That's right! It's clear that King Xuan gave the jade pendant to Miss Fang's family as a token of love!"

In the private room on the second floor, three men ordered a table of noodles, but they didn't move their chopsticks very much. The young man in the main seat was tall and strong, with deep eyes, and the eyebrows and nose were more protruding than ordinary people, but it didn't look strange. , on the contrary, he was extraordinarily handsome. He squinted his eyes and listened to the discussion downstairs calmly.

On his left is a half-grown boy, with an angry expression at the moment, he slammed the table, "Damn it!"

The tall young man glanced at him lightly, the young man restrained his expression a little, but his lowered voice still showed strong dissatisfaction: "Several times he excused the meeting with busy affairs and left us at the embassy, ​​but he has time to meet his lover!"

The young man didn't speak, but a middle-aged man with a hooked nose on the right hand side of the young man said, "Ban Tuo, you are too impatient."

The middle-aged man said: "There is an idiom in Daning called 'people's words can be feared'. Nowadays these rumors are not simple."

The boy who was called Ban Tuo was taken aback for a moment, he was a little disbelieving at first, but suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart when he saw the determined eyes of the middle-aged man, and pricked up his ears, wanting to carefully discern what he had overlooked.

The discussion downstairs continues:

"...I think the third daughter of the Huo family is a perfect match for King Xuan!"

"Which round will you mess up the mandarin ducks! I still think the fourth girl of the He family is a good match for King Xuan!"

"If you want me to tell you, no matter which family's young lady, you can simply marry them. Princess Xuan can only have one, but side concubines and wives can marry several! You don't have too many concubines!"

"That's right! This man should be like King Xuan, with real power in his hands, countless beauties, and the second-class happy man in the world!"

"Hahaha, good to see you! Hahahaha..."

Hearing this, Ban Tuo's eyes widened in surprise. He had already guessed something, and turned to the middle-aged man for confirmation.

The middle-aged man tapped the table with his fingers: "I heard that the honorable family in Daning values ​​face the most. This rumor has brought the reputations of so many girls... No matter who the King Xuan marries, he has disgraced the face of other families."

"And those people said just now that King Xuan is the second-class happy man in the world...but as far as I know, he is not the crown prince of Daning." The middle-aged man smiled strangely and said, "So, this is obviously Someone did it on purpose to push King Xuan to the forefront."

Ban Tuo fell into deep thought for a while, when the tall young man in the middle suddenly stood up and said two words coldly: "Go back."

Seeing this, Ban Tuo and the middle-aged man got up and prepared to leave, but they suddenly heard someone downstairs saying: "Didn't the envoy from Beidi go to Beijing the day before yesterday? I heard that General Tulie went to the Dingbei Marquis Mansion yesterday to issue a war card." , I want to compete with General Song!"

"Hey! Was it defeated by our little general Song, are you not convinced? Hahaha..."

"is not that right!"

In the private room, Ban Tuo and the middle-aged man were taken aback for a moment, obviously not aware of this, they all looked at the tall young man beside them, but they were not denied by the other party.

Ban Tuo couldn't help but cover his face, and said without love, "General, we are here to deal with business..." Why can't you control your legs? ! ! !

The young man looked at them with sharp eyes and a solemn tone: "I want to defeat him."

The author has something to say: The stupid author chose the wrong name for the prince of Beidi. Now he has changed his name to Di Chuan, and will change it later. If there are any omissions, please remind me in the comment area_(:з」∠)_
