The girl is not good in this life

Chapter 279 Meritorious Service (Part Two)
Jiang Yuanhui seemed to be able to pinch and count.

He persuaded Jiang Wan to relax that day, at most the battle would be more difficult, but it would never end so badly.

In less than ten days, before Zhao Xing's birthday, the Ministry of War received the first good news from Liangzhou.

Jiang Yuanzhan led a hussar battalion of 5000 men and horses to the border of Liangzhou. The people behind the army were also old subordinates who had been with Jiang Hu for many years. In the accompanying army, those who are Jiang Yuanzhan's left and right hands are of course trustworthy.

On the night when Jiang Yuanzhan arrived in Liangzhou, he made a surprise attack, ordered 2000 elite soldiers, rushed to the camp at night, burned the Nanyuan food and grass camp, and wiped out [-] Nanyuan vanguard defenders.

The Liangzhou garrison lost two towns first, and although there was a battle to retreat from the enemy, the two sides fought back and forth, and the lost towns were never recovered, and the morale of the army was weak.

As soon as Jiang Yuanzhanfu arrived in Liangzhou, he first defeated the spirit of the Nanyuan army. In addition, as the commander of the three armies, he personally led the elite soldiers to make a surprise attack, which made the lieutenants even more convinced.

As a result, the morale of the army was greatly boosted, and he had gained a firm foothold in the Liangzhou army.

The good news spread back to Beijing, and Emperor He of Jin praised Jiang Yuanzhan in the Golden Palace for his legacy of ancestors, and praised him very much like the old Duke's bravery in the past.

After that, a lot of rewards were allocated, as for others, I won't mention them for the time being.

Jiang Wan was overjoyed when he got the news.

Zhou Wanning remained silent with a serious face.

After Pei Qingyuan pulled him back and sat down, he asked Zhou Wanning: "Since we won the battle, although I don't know the art of war, but seeing the officials are so happy, I also know that winning this battle is very important. Why don't you?" Are you happy?"

Zhou Wanning really couldn't be happy.

She didn't answer Pei Qingyuan's question, she sat there, silent, and turned her face to look at Jiang Wan after a long time. She was never as serious and serious as she is now: "Didn't you say that brother Yuanzhan is in command of the three armies?" , Sitting in the commanding tent, do you not have to lead troops to kill the enemy and charge into battle?

Just because he didn't have to charge forward, probably he was guarding the Liangzhou city and doing the dispatching of the army, so unless the Nanyuan soldiers and horses broke through the Liangzhou city, there would be no danger.

The reason why he is worried is that he is young and untrained, and has insufficient experience in leading troops. If this battle cannot be completely won, he may be punished after returning to Beijing, and he wants to join the army in the future, even with the support of the Duke of the State , won't he have a good future? "

This is indeed what Jiang Wan said.

But she didn't say this to coax Zhou Wanning.

Because in her cognition, it should be so.

It's the second brother who is young and energetic... You can't say that, he is brave and resourceful, and he can plan well to defeat the enemy's morale in one fell swoop.

"It is reasonable to say that this is true, but the situation that the second brother encountered in the frontline army is definitely different from what we talked about on paper in the capital. Of course, he is the commander in chief. Of course, he also has his intention and decision to lead the surprise attack. Now the facts are not proof, he is Right? And he wasn't hurt."

Jiang Wan pursed the corners of his lips: "The Nanyuan army's morale was greatly reduced, the Liangzhou army's morale was restored, and they were able to retreat unscathed. If I were the commander-in-chief with such abilities, I would make the same decision.

Cousin doesn't read military books, but you have read them with me since you were young. Why do you have to ask me this with such a cold face? "

Yes, why bother.

Zhou Wanning was just upset.

Shengjing is now spreading all over the place.

Erlang from Peiguo Duke's Mansion is a brave young man who made such great achievements in leading the army for the first time. He deserves to be a descendant of the Jiang family.

How many little ladies will blush when they say Jiang Yuanzhan's name in private.

And what was she angry about?

Jiang Wan was right.

He is the commander in chief, and what he has to consider is the overall situation of the battle.

This battle should not be prolonged, the Duke is still guarding the Liaodong border right now.

Whether it is for the country or for the family, he really wants to find a way to retreat from the enemy as soon as possible, subdue Nanyuan, and restore the stability of the Liangzhou border.

Thinking of this, Zhou Wanning let out the tone that he had just brought up not long ago, "You're right, I'm narrow-minded."

Jiang Wan exchanged glances with Pei Qingyuan.

Pei Qingyuan pulled the man and squeezed Zhou Wanning's slender wrist: "You are not narrow-minded, you just think differently.

Officials, courtiers, and people all over the world, what they think is whether this war can end as soon as possible, and whether the chaos in Nanyuan can be quelled as soon as possible, so the second cousin is the commander-in-chief, instead of leading the army to attack. It is bravery, heroism, and outstanding military exploits.

But you are thinking about the safety of your second cousin.

There is nothing narrow or not in this.

The family, the country, and the world are so big, and a little lady like us can't hold her heart. Is it narrow-minded? "

She coaxed a few words, but Zhou Wanning's mood was not so good.

Jiang Wan took her hand and nudged her: "Okay, you should also think about it, the second brother has never met an opponent since he was a child, if he is not a master of arts and courage, how dare he disregard his own safety and use troops like this?
He is the coach, if he is captured alive by Nanyuan, or if something goes wrong and he is seriously injured and returns to Liangzhou, then there is really no need to fight this battle again.

The Liangzhou army was already demoralized, and now it is urgently needed a big victory to boost morale. Although the second brother is young and not so experienced in using troops, he will not be so reckless.

Going into battle to kill the enemy is to be brave, but Aye taught us before.

Solitary bravery is not bravery, especially when it comes to the battlefield, it is just a life for life, and it may even be a complete defeat.

So stop being so worried.

Even my mother didn't look like you when she heard the news. "

As she spoke, she pinched a piece of cake, Zhou Wanning's favorite food, and put it in her palm: "The next day, on my second brother's birthday, the sage originally said that he would hold a banquet in Jiying. If he dies, he will officially be canonized as a prince. The birthday must be carefully arranged.

However, it coincided with the war in Nanyuan, so it is inappropriate to make a fuss about his birthday now.

The frontline soldiers fought bloody battles, and we fell down in Shengjing singing and dancing to make peace. It is really indecent and outrageous.

So the second elder brother reported back to the official sage, and only moved outside the palace to hold a small banquet in Su Wang's mansion, and invited some friends who walked around on weekdays to gather together, and it was considered that this birthday had passed.

Originally, his matter of becoming king would also be put on hold.

We should wait until the victory in Liangzhou, the triumphant return of the second brother, and the return of the class teacher, and then set an auspicious day for the canonization ceremony.

But King Su said that if it was Xiaoxiao Nanyuan, he would not even mention the matter of the prince becoming a king when he became an adult, which would make the whole country uneasy and the people even more terrified.

Therefore, the Ministry of Rites and the Qin Tianjian were ordered to still select an auspicious day for the canonization ceremony, but the second elder brother's palace was not good enough to start construction, and the Ministry of Industry was only asked to rush out the work according to the money budgeted at the beginning of the year, and the remaining money was transferred to the Ministry of War In the budget, it is used for military pay and rewards for the armed forces after the war is over.

It just so happens that we don't need to go to the palace to be restrained. There are not many people in Su Wang's mansion, which is lively and relaxed. Don't be unhappy all day long with a straight face. Just treat it as a happy day to meet your second brother By rushing against the evil spirit of the flames of war, the second brother can also enjoy some happiness on the front line, and it would be better to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
