Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 171: Lord Grim lying drunk on the battlefield, how many people have fought in ancient times (please subscribe and vote monthly)

After more than ten days.

The northwest border is more than [-] miles southeast of Rakshasa Kingdom.

A general in silver armor rode a jujube horse that breathed white air, and behind him were less than a thousand soldiers.

At this moment, the general's face was covered with black dust, and the armor on his chest was covered with dark red blood.

Not only that, there was a bloody bandage wrapped around his arm, which looked like he was injured.

This person is Han Zijing, the great general of the Daqing Dynasty and the military envoy of the Beijing camp.

More than 20 days ago, he had just been ordered to lead [-] troops to the northwest front to quell the rebellion.

Not only that, Han Zijing also brought the Regent King Su Ran's order to dispatch troops.

He originally thought that even if he lost, he could lead his troops back to the capital safely.

However, Meng Chao, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, was not seen at all, and was ambushed by the royal troops of Xining County and the army of Rakshasa Kingdom on the way.

Although they fought desperately to break out of the siege, all the elite soldiers and horses they brought with them were destroyed.

These people were all elite soldiers drawn from the garrison, and Regent Su Ran handed them over to him.

But now, of the [-] soldiers and horses, only the less than [-] people behind them were left.

This shows how tragic the battle was at that time.

Even Sun Shaozu, the doctor sent by the Ministry of War to supervise the battle, was decapitated by the enemy and ended up dead without a whole body.

The only good thing is that Jia Lian, the boy from the Jia family who came with the army for training, escaped by hiding in a pile of dead people and pretending to be dead.

Otherwise, Prince Regent Su Ran would probably have himself chopped up alive if he went back like this.

Thinking of this, Han Zijing couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

Looking at the remnants of the defeated generals behind him, he couldn't help but secretly sigh, Lord Grim, who is lying drunk on the battlefield, has fought countless battles since ancient times.

The news that the army was ambushed had been rushed to the capital over [-] miles six days ago.

At this moment, it has been placed on the desk of Su Ran, the regent in the south study room.

Seeing this urgent military information, Su Ran couldn't help but take action.

"Zhuzi, how dare you ambush my people!"

However, he only said this swear word and didn't say anything more.

On this day, Su Ran appointed four people one after another.

The first one is to have Chao Heng, the commander of the Jianrui Battalion, transferred to the Jiedu Envoy of the Jingying Battalion, who will be responsible for all the defense of the capital.

The second is to let Duolong, the commander of the forward battalion, take over Chao Heng's position and take charge of the Jianrui battalion.

As for Duolong's original position, another brother who had returned from northern Xinjiang, Leng Zuocheng, was arranged to take over. His official position is currently the deputy commander of the forward battalion.

The last one fulfilled his original promise and transferred Zhao Wenyuan, Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, to the position of cabinet bachelor and assistant minister, and assisted the new emperor in governing the affairs of the country together with Fan Tingyu, the left prime minister.

After making these arrangements, Su Ran summoned Lu Baichuan, the leader of the Shadow Guard, over alone and gave him some instructions.

Its main meaning is to continue to send additional manpower to keep an eye on the movements of the troops stationed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

At the same time, it is necessary to assist Chao Heng to ensure that the defense of the capital is perfect.

After arranging all this, Su Ran returned to his regent's palace.

At this moment, he had already made a plan in his heart. He was going to go to the northwest frontier in person to see who was able to wipe out all the [-] elite members of the Daqing Dynasty.

Before leaving the capital, Su Ran planned to tell Wang Xifeng about this matter.

The reason why I want to tell her is because among my wives, she is undoubtedly the most assertive one.

Although he is not very proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, he is good at making decisions.

Su Ran gave her a token of her own and asked her to send someone with the token to find Chao Heng or Lu Baichuan in the palace whenever something happened.Of course, Su Ran had already explained to Lu Baichuan privately about the security of the Regent's Palace.

When Wang Xifeng learned that Su Ran was leaving the capital and going to the northwest frontier, she was naturally extremely reluctant to leave.

But she knew better in her heart that as long as it was decided by Su Ran, there was absolutely no possibility of changing it.

Therefore, Wang Xifeng did not dissuade him, but repeatedly told him to be careful and come back early.

Su Ran naturally agreed to this and asked her to accompany Qin Keqing often so as not to make her worry too much about herself.

After explaining all this, Su Ran left the capital overnight.

His idea was to leave without anyone noticing, and then return to Beijing to solve the problem in a very short time.

In this way, the reaction time for enemies lurking in the dark will be shorter, and the opponent will not be given too many opportunities to take advantage of, leaving too many loopholes for people to take advantage of.

At this time, Han Zijing, who was far away in the northwest, was faced with a dilemma.

At the moment, his first plan is naturally to continue to contact Meng Chao, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and lead troops to destroy the rebellious enemies.

However, the problem with this plan was that he had lost [-] soldiers, so how could he find Meng Chao with a team of less than [-] people.

In case he meets someone from the Prince's Mansion of Xining County on this road, he may be caught in the pot.

The key is that Han Zijing doesn't know where his opponents have set up ambushes.

Even if he was lucky enough to break through the siege and find Meng Chao, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, at that time, just based on the handwriting in his hand, it was still a question whether the other party would send troops.

As for the other plan, it is to return to the capital with the remaining hundreds of soldiers and plead guilty to the regent.

However, if he did that, he would lose all face.

Not only that, it is estimated that the position of general may not be guaranteed.

It may even involve his sister, Xiao Xuan'er.

Even if Su Ran didn't blame him, it would still be a headache for the courtiers.

Thinking of this, Han Zijing decided to take a chance and seek help from Meng Chao, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu.

……

Seven days later, Su Ran arrived at the border of Shaanxi, riding alone.

However, after arriving in Shaanxi, he did not stop, but continued westward for another three or four days before arriving in Xining.

The reason why Su Ran came here was because he wanted to visit Prince Xining's hometown in the northwest.

He could order people to lead troops and horses to ambush Han Zijing, but he probably would not go into battle himself.

Even if he goes into battle in person, it is impossible for all his family members, young and old, to accompany him.

Therefore, now Su Ran wants to find a few people to chat with, preferably the family members of the Prince of Xining County.

Su Ran wanted to ask them a few words, why would it be the opposite if they were one of the princes of the Daqing Dynasty, but why did they collude with foreign countries.

If there is a suitable reason, I would like to hear it.

But if not, then all I can say is sorry.

At this moment, Su Ran had arrived in Xining City and stood alone outside a large and magnificent building.

He never thought that the Prince of Xining County, who was usually not very public, would actually buy such a property here.

The scale of this building is not much smaller than that of the Imperial Palace in the capital.

At this time, Su Ran was bathing in the last rays of the sunset.

In the blink of an eye, his figure was swallowed up by the boundless darkness...
