Unparalleled Concubine - v2 Chapter 985

   Chapter 985 Border and Capital

   In May of the fifth year of Yuanzhao, the weather became more and more hot and dry. Even Jimen Pass, which is located in the north, began to heat up. On the city wall of Jimen Pass, several young soldiers in armor were guarding the city wall.

  These soldiers looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. They were holding spears made by the Zhenbei Army. The two of them were looking at the north and talking.

   “Our boss is really lucky. Not long after he came home from leave, the barbarians from the north called.”

   This seventeen-year-old young man sighed and said, “I heard that he has returned to his hometown to get married. He is most likely in the newlywed Yan’er at the moment. Where are we, like us, working hard with the barbarians here.”

  To this day, the Xianbei Ministry has officially fought with the imperial court for more than a month. A large number of beacon towers near Jimen Pass have been wiped out by the Yuwen Ministry. These Xianbei people looted everywhere, looting grain to use as military rations while fighting, and then entering the palace in batches at Jimen Pass.

   After more than a month, Jimenguan has suffered about four or five impacts from the Xianbei Ministry, but now the supply of food and grass in Jimenguan is still sufficient, and it is not a problem to support it for a few more months.

After hearing the young man’s words, another soldier who was slightly older than him snorted and said, “Boss Zhao has something to do with the capital. When he goes back this time, he will most likely marry Mrs. Li’s sister, who will be with Mrs. Li. Now that we are a family, what luck is there? Someone clearly informed him in advance that there is going to be a war at the border, and he took leave at this moment!”

   “As soon as Duwei Zhao marched into the army, he was the captain of the school, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old school captain. Where can we stinkin be compared?”

   Obviously, these are the soldiers under Zhao Fang.

Although Li Xin was estranged from the imperial court, he did not openly raise the flag to rebel, and he was still the imperial master in the bright face. Moreover, he was named a marquis as a young man, and he became the object of worship for young people in Dajin. His deeds over the years well known.

   “I can’t be envious.”

  The young soldier looked to the north, and said enviously, “If we can marry Mrs. Li’s sister, why would we still be standing guard here, maybe one day, we will be able to make a marquis as a general…”

   The slightly longer soldier sighed: “The northern barbarians attacked Jimen Pass five times a month, and they are so vicious that Commander Zhao will not come back…”

   As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar voice came from the side.

   “Fuck your mother!”

A young man in the same armor, with a long spear on his shoulder. Although he was dressed in military uniform and had a face full of ruffians, he looked vaguely bookish at first glance. The young man was wearing a captain’s armor and walked carelessly in front of the two people. , kicked the two people fiercely, and scolded: “Is Lao Tzu a person who is greedy for life and fears death?”

   This person is naturally Zhao Fang. After he returned to Yongzhou, he married Zhong Xiaoxiao under the arrangement of the Nine Princesses. Because neither of them had parents, the wedding was successfully completed under the auspices of Li Xin and his wife.

After getting married, according to Li Xin’s intentions, he would not be released. At this time, the Zhenbei Army was in chaos. Even if Zhao Fang practiced straight punches with Li Xin, he was still agile at best. Possibly dead.

  Li Xin didn’t want his sister to become a widow shortly after getting married.

But Zhao Fang insisted on returning to Jizhou after hearing about the fighting in the north. Many of his brothers in the military camp were little thieves he caught from the mountains with Li Xin back then. It is obvious that it is difficult to give up easily.

After Zhao Fang kicked the two of them, he felt displeased and scolded: “I got married at home. According to Dajin’s rules, I could have taken a year off, but when I heard the fight in Jizhou, I immediately rushed back from my hometown. These dog things are still arranging Laozi behind the scenes!”

   At this time, most of the speeches in the army were in this tone. Zhao Fang came from a scholarly family, so it was impossible for Duan Duan to say such words, but after staying in the army for five or six years, he also learned a lot of foul language.

These two people, or the little bandit he brought out with one hand, were not angry after being kicked twice, they just looked at Zhao Fang with a smile, the younger soldier stepped forward and asked quietly: “Boss, you Are you really married to Mrs. Li’s sister as a wife?”

  Zhao Fang rolled his eyes and snorted: “What are you asking so many for, I will stand on your post!”

   He just finished speaking when a familiar tremor came from under his feet.

The    tremor is weak, but clearly present.

   The three of them turned their faces at the same time, and all looked up to the north.

There was a person in the    army who had specialized in listening to the ground. He lay at the base of the city wall and listened to it, and his expression changed greatly. He stood up and shouted loudly: “It’s the cavalry of the northern barbarians!”

   “Ten thousand rides!”

   “It’s only five or six miles away from me!”

Because the Xianbei cavalry was too powerful, after more than a month, there were hardly any scouts from the Zhenbei Army outside Guan. No longer send people out to inquire, only when the enemy is at a certain distance can the Zhenbei Army find out.

Zhao Fang stood on the city wall, put on his helmet silently, then took out a strip of cloth from the front of his shirt and tied it to his hand, and then tied his quiver to his body unhurriedly, looked up to the north, and took a deep breath. Several breaths.

   He has been in the army for six years and has never really experienced war. Now, war is coming.

   As far as the eye can see, there is already a black line in the north.

   Zhao tightened the cloth on his hand, and roared at the people in his commander’s camp.

   “The North Barbarians are here, ready to kill them!”

   The entire commander’s camp roared along with Zhao Fang’s voice.

   “Fuck them!”

  …………

The war in northern Xinjiang is raging, but the capital, which is thousands of miles away, cannot feel the war in northern Xinjiang. To the slightest breath of war.

The only one who was affected by the war was the concubine Yuwenque who was married to the palace by the emperor two years ago. Because of the rebellion of Yuwen’s department, as Yuwenzhao’s daughter, she was naturally implicated and was beaten by the emperor. In the cold palace.

   At the same time, the two uncles and nephews of the Ye family couldn’t sit still, and rushed back to the capital from Ningling. The two uncles and nephews entered the capital at the same time, and in the Weiyang Palace, knelt in front of the emperor.

Ye Lin, Marquis of Ningling, said in a deep voice: “Your Majesty, the war in the northern Xinjiang is fierce, and the Xianbei Ministry is aggressive. The Duke of Chen’s government will guard Jimen Pass in place of Dajin. The two ministers, uncle and nephew, are willing to die for Dajin and guard Jimen Pass. !”

In just over a month, the Xianbei Ministry entered the palace Jimen Pass five times. Although Jimen Pass was firmly defended, it was obvious that it was very difficult to defend. Moreover, the Zhenbei Army had no backbone now, and the military might be disillusioned at any time. The Zhenbei Army was the foundation of the Ye family, and the two uncles and nephews of the Ye family were naturally anxious when they saw this.

   The Zhenbei Army was in the hands of their Ye family, even if they were really crippled by the Xianbei Ministry, that was to make the best use of everything, but if the Zhenbei Army was wiped out in the hands of others, the Ye family would not be willing to close their eyes.

   They naturally want to take over the Zhenbei Army, even if either of the two uncles and nephews is fine.

   Emperor Yuan Zhao personally helped the two uncles and nephews up, and then handed the military newspaper on his desk to the two uncles and nephews.

   “The two Ye Qings don’t have to worry, the Jimen Pass is like a golden soup, and the Xianbei people knocked on the pass five times, and they all returned home.”

   The young emperor turned to look at Ye Lin and smiled.

   “Ye Qing was the Minister of the Ministry of War a few years ago, but was later transferred to Hanzhong. Now that he is back in Beijing, why don’t he still take charge of the Ministry of War for me?”
