Chapter 272 The Battle Begins
The garrison general of Taipingwei can be regarded as a general of one party. Although his name is not as good as that of Zhenyuan General Yan Jun, he has also made great military exploits on the battlefield, so he was awarded the title of "General of the Five Protections".

General Wubao's real name is Xie Lingyu, a very bookish name, and he is just like his name, not only likes poetry and painting, but also has a good face, although he is in the military position, he is not as rough as other martial arts, he is very easy-going in dealing with people, he is a A very rare Confucian general.

Although Xie Lingyu is a general of the third rank, he doesn't even have a decent general's mansion. He only has a small mansion in the Weisuo City, which is still rented by others.

If it weren't for the fact that he and the owner of the mansion are brother-in-law, the rent has been reduced a lot, and that little salary may not be enough for the family's expenses.

Xie Lingyu's parents died early, and he brought up his younger sister alone. The girl was not allowed to stay in college. The younger sister married when she was less than twenty years old. Xie Lingyu lost her care and joined the army. Later, she met her current wife, Qi Shi.

The two had been married for three years, and the Qi family gave birth to a son for him. The family of three lived in this coastal city, and it was quite a happy time.

Xie Lingyu holds [-] soldiers, which is not too much for the entire dynasty, but once the soldiers have the idea of ​​treason, it will take some effort to settle it.

The dynasties have always taken the measure of enclosing the family members of generals, which is to protect in name, but in fact it is a constraint. For example, General Yan Jun of Zhenyuan, even though he has a deadly friendship with Emperor Shengen, still cannot escape the suspicion of the emperor. Staying in the capital, the husband and wife have not seen each other for several years.

Looking at the entire dynasty, there are still very few people like Xie Lingyu who can reunite with their families. The reason for this is unknown to outsiders.

……

Nie Yingxue traveled continuously for two days and finally arrived at Taipingwei. Jiangping Province is rich and prosperous, and Taipingwei is no exception. Merchants in the city come and go frequently, and hawkers shout one after another. Although this is a guard, it has a lively scene that only a prefecture can .

Nie Yingxue had important things to do, so she didn't have time to appreciate the scenery, so she went straight to the General's Mansion as soon as she entered the city.

Xie Lingyu was practicing calligraphy in her study, when she heard that there was a visitor outside, she put down her work and went to receive her beforehand. Seeing that it was a woman she had never met, she couldn't help showing doubts.

Nie Yingxue smiled politely, and said in a gentle voice:

"I've seen General Wubao."

Xie Lingyu returned the gift and asked:
"I don't know why the girl came to visit?"

Nie Yingxue didn't answer, but intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the servants of Xie's mansion, Xie Lingyu immediately understood, waved her hand and turned her back.

Nie Yingxue then took out a sachet from her sleeve and handed it over.

Xie Lingyu took the sachet and didn't pay attention to it at first, but when he saw the embroidery on it, his eyes immediately showed shock, but he still didn't change his face and said:
"Dare to ask girl, what does this mean?"

Nie Yingxue still smiled and said:

"The second prince is in a trap, so please ask the general to send troops to rescue him."

Xie Lingyu didn't argue directly, but asked rhetorically:
"Who is the girl?"

Nie Yingxue gave a blessing softly, "My niece and daughter-in-law see uncle."

……

Xie Lingyu's ability to sit in his current position is not only due to his outstanding ability, but also has something to do with his unknown and secret identity.

This identity is unknown not only to outsiders, but also to his wife who has slept with him for decades.It is precisely because of this status that he does not need to be separated from his family members, because in the capital, there has always been a relative who is comparable to a son.

Xie Lingyu's ancestral home is Xiejia Village, which is located at the border of the dynasty. His younger sister, the woman who married a certain knight-errant, is the biological mother of the second prince Wang Bingde.

Xie Lingyu has been in the army for more than 20 years, and his journey went smoothly from a small soldier to a general. He seems to have no background, but his reliability is stronger than anyone else. owe him.

The prince's nephew, Xie Lingyu, has only met a few times in the past 30 years. Even Emperor Xian En, who holds the secret guard, doesn't know about this. Otherwise, even if Wang Bingde is tied to the capital, he will never be released to the south of the Yangtze River. On Fan.

As the folk saying goes, mother-in-law is close to flesh and blood, and bones are broken and tendons are connected.

Xie Lingyu, the uncle, had never met her nephew several times, but she was very concerned about him, but ever since she heard about his rebellion, she had never let go of her concern.

Blood is thicker than water, and now that the other party asks for help, even if he faces the risk of losing his head, he will resolutely lead his troops there.

……

"Miss Nie, is there anyone else at home?"

Xie Lingyu said with a smile, the more he looked at the niece and daughter-in-law in front of him, the more he was satisfied.

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the woman on the other side lowered, and she said in a desolate tone:

"I was an orphan since I was a child. It was my master who brought me up. Later, my master also left."

Xie Lingyu sighed in her heart when she heard the words, and said quickly:

"Son, from now on, you can regard me as your own uncle. If my nephew dares to bully you, just tell me that uncle will support you."

Nie Yingxue's expression improved upon hearing this, and she said obediently:
"Yingxue thanked uncle first."

……

Wang Quanquan led an army of [-] to the Central Capital within four days. Taking advantage of the time to set up camp, Wang Quanquan looked at the prefecture in front of him, thinking about where to start.

"My lord, can the cannon you brought really blast through the city gate?"

Yan Hanshan showed a keen interest in the peculiarly shaped cannon from the first sight, and often took advantage of the breaks to take a look. For men, this kind of thing is sometimes more important than a beautiful girl. Come attractive.

Wang Gangquan gnawed on the dry food and said vaguely:
"It has been tested many times, the problem should not be serious, and to tell you the truth, the future battlefield will definitely be dominated by this thing."

Yan Hanshan became even more excited when he heard the words, "Can you let me ignite it later?"

Wang Gangquan nodded, "Of course no problem, by the way, are you ready for the things I asked you to prepare?"

"Get ready, I'll arrange for them to be buried in the ground in a while."

"It should be safe in this way." Wang Gangquan threw the last mouthful of dry food into his mouth, and turned his head to look at a carriage behind him.

Pulling a few seven or eight feet long iron chisels on the carriage, they were custom-made by a blacksmith in Pengcheng. These are useless for siege, but they can be used to deal with the old way who can attract thunder.

"My lord, when will we do it?" Yan Hanshan asked.

Wang Gangquan raised his head and looked at the sky, "The moon is dark and the wind is high, killing people at night, let's do it at night."

……

Wang Bingde saw the scene of the [-] army pressing down on the city wall from a long distance away. He frowned and looked at the busy Dynasty army below the city, and asked Zhao Hu behind him:

"Miss Nie hasn't come back yet?"

Zhao Hu shook his head, "I have sent scouts to investigate many times, and there is no sign of Miss Nie within fifty miles."

Wang Bingde nodded, and then said to the old Taoist in purple robe:
"I'm afraid we will need Daoist Wen's help again in a while."

Wen Fuding still looked confident, and said in a flat tone:

"It doesn't matter, the prince will win this battle."

Zhou Jiuer, who had been ineffective since he entered the city, was suspicious when he heard the words. As a cultivator, he knew the so-called Dao of Heaven the most.

This Wen Daoist spares no effort to participate in the battle for royal power, and even uses magic to attract visions to help out. Isn't he really afraid of causing backlash?

As he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a fire under the city, and then there was a loud noise, and the entire city wall shook.

The battle begins...
