Chapter 496

The nineteenth day of the first month of the 24th year of Zhaohua.

night.

The moon and stars are rare.

Li Chenan and his party had already arrived in Feng County, but did not enter the city.

The team was stationed at Wufanyuan, three miles away from Feng County.

Wufanyuan is at the foot of Maple Leaf Mountain.

They are located in the southeast of Wufanyuan.

Commander Xie Jing led the [-] soldiers in the northwest of Wufanyuan.

The distance between the two armies is roughly seven or eight miles.

The [-] government soldiers had already gathered, and there was a mighty large barracks on the Wufan Plain.

To go to Shuzhou, one must pass through Wufanyuan from the northwest, that is to say, one must pass through Xie Jing's camp.

It's just that Xie Jing is not in his camp at the moment.

He was by Li Chenan's side.

"In the past, each was their own master. As the commander, you took orders from Yu Wanzhi and Song Shiming. This is not a big mistake in my king's opinion."

Xie Jing never expected that the young regent would say these words lightly.

He thought that he would definitely be scolded by the regent, and it would not be too much to beat himself with a whip.

Because if you don't know the truth about what you did, you are really rebelling!

But at this moment Xie Jing did not reveal the truth behind this incident to Li Chenan.

He wanted to see how big-hearted the regent was.

He hastily bowed, and said Xiaoyi: "Prince Regent, this is a villain's momentary confusion!"

Li Chen'an waved his hand, pointing to the faintly visible lights of Wanjia in Fengxian County in the distance, "You didn't go into the city to disturb the people, which shows that you still have some conscience."

"By the way, I remember that you once served as General Dingyuan in the western frontier army..."

Li Chenan turned his head to look at Xie Jing, with a smile on his face: "Under the general Wu Mian, right?"

"When Wu Mian was transferred to Kyoto by the emperor to serve as the general, he brought you back from the western frontier army and put you on Jiangnan Road."

"Do you remember that Wu Mian also had a cavalry general Xia Yunhu in his hand?"

Xie Jing never expected that the young regent knew his name and his own experience.

It has been almost 20 years since I left the Western Frontier Army.

I have served as a military commander in Jiangnan Dao... It is said to be a commander, but the real military power in Jiangnan Dao is the governor Song Shiming.

The general told himself not to fight.

He also told himself to turn a blind eye and close his eyes, and he should spend the rest of his life in Jiangnan.

The rest of my life...

I was only in my early 20s at the time!

It's the prime of life.

The rest of my life is really long.

But the leisurely days are indeed more pleasant than the tense days and nights when I was in the western frontier.

I seem to get used to it so slowly, and slowly degenerate.

I also gradually learned how to enjoy it.

He didn't ask anything except for training his own [-] soldiers.

This lying down is 20 years.

His family is settled in Pingjiangcheng, where he has a wife and three children.

He should have aged so indifferently, and then died quietly.

Unexpectedly, Ningguo suddenly changed.

What's more, he didn't expect the regent to come to Jiangnan.

He, Xie Jing, does not belong to Ji Tai's family.

Song Shiming asked him to lead his troops to kill the regent, which was forcing him to choose a position.

This position is actually not difficult to stand.

He didn't need Huang He to give him any ideas, he knew what to do next.

Because when General Wu Mian led his troops to Wuya Pass last year, he passed Jiangnan Road and met him once.

He really wanted to go to the front line of Wuyaguan with the general, but was rejected by the general.

General Wu didn't say much.

Just told him a word -

"Anyone in the world can die, but the regent must not have any accidents!"

"You... stay on Jiangnan Road!"

"Jiangnan Road is the top priority of Ningguo, and the regent will go to Jiangnan."

The Prince Regent did come.

Song Shiming didn't know how to lead troops to fight at all, and he was afraid of death!

He really handed over the command of [-] soldiers in his own hands.

He led the [-] troops without entering the city.

Instead, they were stationed in the northwest of Wufanyuan——

It's not to guard the regent and go to the northwest, but Xia Houzhuo's soldiers will come from the northwest!

His original purpose, Xie Jing, was not to besiege and kill the Regent Li Chen'an as Song Shiming had entrusted to him, but to prevent Xiahou Zhuo from sending his troops south!
He didn't know what kind of person this regent who held the power of Ning Kingdom was.

He just heard that this master's poems and essays are so good that he was named a Poet Immortal by the former emperor!

He also heard that the regent is the eldest son of the emperor who lost... He asked General Wu Mian about this, and Wu Mian was silent for a long time before nodding his head.

This move made him quite suspicious.

Then I heard that he was with Xi Wei's daughter... Xi Wei was responsible for the debt of Shang Chehou's mansion!
But what surprised him was that General Wu was supposed to be Lu Zhanxiao's trusted servant in the car, but General Wu didn't seem to have any intention of seeking revenge from Xi Wei.

He went to Wuyaguan.

He said he still didn't know who Xi Wei was.

He also said that it doesn't matter if Xi Wei's daughter is with the regent?

Many things were beyond Xie Jing's understanding, and he realized that he was no longer a pure soldier in the western frontier army.

He shouldn't be thinking about things that have nothing to do with the war.

What he should consider is how to ensure the safety of the regent, and how to wipe out Xiahou Zhuo's troops in Wushanyuan.

Concentrating his thoughts, he bowed again:
"Back to the Regent, the last general did know Xia Yunhu when he was in the western frontier. We are still very good friends!"

"Oh, then do you know that after Xia Yunhu became the vice-president of the Imperial City Division... he betrayed the Imperial City Division?"

Xie Jing pondered for three breaths: "The last general has heard of it."

"Then based on your knowledge of Xia Yunhu, why do you think he rebelled?"

"This……"

Xie Jing raised his head and looked at Li Chenan, "The general thinks there must be something hidden in this."

"Xia Yunhu has made great achievements in the western frontier army. He is very good at the soldiers in his hands, and he gets along very well with those of us... He is not a person who has ambitions for power. What he did... It doesn't make sense!"

Li Chenan grinned, and said something that made Xie Jing puzzled——

"I can rest assured that."

"Since you came here on your own initiative... do you know that Xiahou Zhuo also came with thirty thousand frontier soldiers?"

"He's coming to kill me. Look, I'm only a thousand people..."

Xie Jing clasped his fists with a sincere and serious expression:
"Hand over Xiahou Zhuo to the last general!"

Li Chenan was slightly taken aback by these words, and he asked suspiciously:

"But the combat power of the soldiers...do you think they can withstand Xiahou Zhuo's [-] elite?"

"Regent, the last general's three thousand personal guards were personally trained by the last general, and they are the main force in this battle!"

"The final general will definitely do his best to kill Xiahou Zhuo!"

"Are you going to fight Xia Houzhuo head-on?"

"The final general hopes that the Regent will allow it!"

"No!"

Li Chenan stretched out his hands to help Xie Jing's bent body stand upright.

"It's good to be brave, but it's even better to be smart!"

"Listen next, and do what I want!"

"The general is all ears!"

Xiao Baozi stood in the night wind and looked at the bright starry sky.

With a slight movement of her ears, she heard what Li Chenan said to that General Xie.

She raised her eyebrows, this cow is really bad!

I just like the badness in his bones!
