When Dugu Jing led 30,000 Northern Barbarian troops to meet the commander at the border, he never thought that they would actually fight. He thought that Xie Xun sent him to lead the army, which would probably scare Sang Nan.

Xie Jue's life and death were uncertain in Sangnan territory. The frontier army had to be strong to suppress Xie Jue's battle. However, the Northern Barbarian army thought that this was their first expedition to Beining and they would fight a beautiful victory. Moreover, they followed their old leader. Coach, the morale is high. Although Dugu Jing understood it clearly, he couldn't explain it in detail to the soldiers. He trained troops at the border and occasionally went to exchange battle experiences with the commander.

The marshal didn't like to answer him. For some reason, he was quite satisfied with him when he was in Beijing, but he became more and more displeasing to him at the border. Dugu Jing was definitely not someone who would be hot-faced and cold-hearted, even though he might be with him. Fang Lingjun would not take the initiative to please her father-in-law when getting married. He didn't understand Beining's son-in-law's tradition of trying to please his father-in-law. Even if someone suggested something, Dugu Jing couldn't understand it.

What's more, the generals in Jiangnan are still waiting to watch the show. How can they mention him? The generals in Ningzhou have a lot of enemies with Dugu Jing. After all, they have been fighting for so many years. Some people can't stand it and mention Dugu Jing. He ignored him and simply waited for the good show. In this strange atmosphere, the commander suddenly ordered a starry night attack on the border town of Sangnan. Because the mission was in danger in the palace, troops were immediately dispatched to the border. Dugu Jing led the troops to take the lead. Siege was the strength of the Northern Barbarian army. After all, they had been attacking Ningzhou for so many years, so they were no stranger to siege warfare. The defense of the Sangnan border was not as good as that of Ningzhou. The state is so dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack. The south is almost flat, with no dangerous terrain, and the city defenses are fragile. The city was captured before dawn.

Great victory!

Once the border city was broken, Beining's army was unstoppable. The generals guarding the city in Sangnan didn't know what was happening. The city was broken. They were obviously at peace talks. The soldiers all knew that peace talks were the general trend and would not really lead to a fight, so they were sleeping He was awakened by the sound of war drums and had no time to suit up.

After daybreak, the army continued to attack the city south. Dugu Jing led the Northern Barbarian army as the vanguard, and the general pressed down the formation. It was almost a city a day. The city in Jiangnan was gorgeous and fragile, and it was simply vulnerable. Two hundred thousand Sangnan soldiers Fighting and retreating, there was no backbone, and they were quickly broken up.

Death is falling, like a plate of loose sand.

A northern barbarian general couldn't help but said to Dugu Jing, "Master Hou, this Sangnan is really vulnerable. Beining is really unlucky. The south is such a weak country. As long as we have three-thirds of our combat power in the past, Beining has been defeated long ago, and we have conquered Ningzhou long ago."

Dugu Jing could only sigh with emotion. There are no powerful countries in the east and west. The geographical location is really good. This is the national destiny. It cannot be envied. Just like the northern barbarians can only settle behind the snow-capped mountains, where it is cold all year round and no grass grows. That should be snow. The habitat of wolves, snow leopards and other cold-resistant animals is their homeland, and they have fought all their lives to return to the warm land. Sangnan itself occupies such a rich land, but the soldiers are vulnerable. Dugujing said, "God's To be fair, they did not give us rich land, but gave us strong military strength and minerals. Although Sangnan has rich land, they... are too weak."

But no matter what, this battle must be fought beautifully, and Dugu Jing also gave a death order, attacked the city with all his strength, and rushed to Sangnan's Peony City as quickly as possible.

He didn't care whether Xie Jue lived or died, but Xie Xun let him lead the troops and gave him trust. He didn't want to betray Xie Xun's trust. His surrender was a foregone conclusion, so he should calm down and do what a general should do. .

In this way, the Northern Barbarian army rushed through Sangnan's barriers one after another with unstoppable momentum. When they were only three cities away from Sangnan's Peony City, they received Xie Jue's order. The army stopped attacking the city, and Sangnan signed a letter of surrender.

Dugu Jing hadn't had enough of fighting yet, and he was a little confused after receiving the order suddenly, but the military order was like a mountain. He stood by and waited for the commander to make a decision. The army led by the commander was half a day behind them, and it was already midnight when they entered the city. Dugu Jing When he went to report, he was stopped by Xiao Qi, "Master Hou, please stay!"

Dugu Jing said, "I'll come to see the commander to discuss the next trip."

Who is going to Peony City to pick up the envoy? There is no need for all the army to go to Peony City. The army will stay here to garrison, and part of it will go to Peony City to pick up Xie Jue.

"The commander-in-chief wants to be left alone, Lord Marquis, please forgive me!" Xiao Qi followed the commander-in-chief on the expedition and has matured a lot. His words were not disrespectful to Dugu Jing. For someone as sharp as Dugu Jing, he felt that the atmosphere in the main tent was a bit strange.

Dugu Jing said, "The second young master told the commander-in-chief that a charter should be issued before dawn, and who should go to Peony City to pick up the envoy."     "Yes!"

When Dugu Jing returned to his camp, a Northern Barbarian general came quickly and said, "Master Marquis, it's not good, it's not good, something big has happened."

"What's the big deal?" They had promised so many battles, what big thing happened that deserved his rush.

The young general pulled Dugu Jing to a quiet place, "News came from Peony City that the high priest rebelled, burned King Sangnan to death, and blamed the prince. The palace of Sangnan was in turmoil. The prince and the others were besieged for six days."

"The prince has given orders, and I think it's safe to come. Don't make such a fuss. He can survive two years of hiding in the northern barbarians, and he won't die!"

Dugu Jing secretly thought that it would be better to die, and he was relieved of his bad breath.

"The prince is safe, but General Fang is dead, and the three hundred cavalry guards also died in the palace."

"Ah? Fang Chuning is dead?" Dugu Jing blurted out, extremely shocked, "How is it possible? How could he die? Where did you get the news?"

"General Xiao Li said that he is a general from Jiangnan. The commander also received the news this morning, and there are rumors about the prince and General Fang spreading throughout the city. It's so ugly!" The young general is a very young general of the Northern Barbarians. He is seventeen years old this year. He has been on the battlefield with Dugu Jing for only a year, and then followed Dugu Jing back to Beining. He is very loyal to Dugu Jing. This time, he specifically requested an order to go with him on the expedition. He is Dugu Jing's right-hand man.

"Did the news get sent wrong?" Dugu Jing didn't care about the rumors, he was still shocked how Fang Chuning could die. In Dugu Jing's mind, Fang Chuning was his biggest rival in Beining besides Xie Jue.

"You can't be wrong!" The young general stamped his feet anxiously, "Master Marquis, the rumors are terrible."

"Why? Died in an ugly way? Was he cut into pieces?"

"No!" The young general leaned into Dugu Jing's ear and wanted to tell the rumor, but Dugu Jing pushed him away, "What are you doing? Say it loudly!"

The young general stamped his feet and spoke really loudly, "Everyone in the city said that the prince and the tenth princess were supposed to get married, but they behaved improperly. They had an affair with General Fang at a palace banquet and were caught by King Sangnan. In order to hide the two of them, King Sangnan was killed because of his affair. After the matter became a big deal, the prince simply stopped doing nothing and drove out all the people in the priest's house, just to silence him and fear that others would know about his affair with General Fang."

Dugu Jing, "...?"

Did he not learn Beining dialect very well? Is there another explanation behind these words? (End of chapter)
