I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 594: The best in the world! Like a thorn in the back!

The Confucian lady that Li Wenjing mentioned was of such a noble origin that if they were to marry each other, it would naturally be impossible for her to condescend to be a concubine.

This is why Gongsun Du was so eager to turn against him.

Besides, Li Wenjing at least had the title of father-in-law.

Now, in order to take revenge, you are actually instigating your son-in-law to marry the daughter of your "enemy". How much horse urine did your mother, Li Wenjing, drink to get so drunk!

Thank you for thinking about it!

The most important thing is that I am half of this son-in-law!

If you don't feel sorry for your adopted daughter, I feel sorry for my only daughter!

They conspired loudly and openly in front of me. Do they really think that I, Gongsun Du, am dead?

Facing Gongsun Du's glaring eyes, Li Wenjing expressed it calmly.

"Look at you, you're in a hurry."

"I am also thinking about Shao Ge'er."

He said with a serious face.

"Think about it, even if my senior brother is not very good, he is still the headmaster of Jixia Academy. Now that the teacher is not in charge, he has the final say on all matters of the academy."

"If Shao Ge'er marries his daughter, he will have the support of the Jixia Academy. Not only will he have no shortage of talents to help him govern the country, but he will also have scholars all over the world to speak for him."

"With such favorable conditions, why not do it?"

No one can question the power of the Holy Land.

Especially the Jixia Academy.

Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are all prominent schools of thought in the contemporary world and are the best in the world.

But in terms of real strength, Confucianism is at the forefront.

If Han Shao could really marry the daughter of the current principal of the Jixia Academy, it would be an understatement to say that he would be like a tiger with wings.

Gongsun Du obviously understood this, so after Li Wenjing finished speaking, his face froze and his eyes became conflicted.

In an instant, 80% to 90% of my confidence in arguing was gone.

After a short moment, he looked at Li Wenjing and suddenly said.

"Is this... what your teacher meant?"

Upon hearing this, Li Wenjing glanced at Gongsun Du in surprise, as if he was shocked that this man had become so smart.

"This is a mutually beneficial thing. I don't think the teacher would refuse it."

Although this was not said explicitly, the meaning was obvious.

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Du fell silent.

If Jiujing Taiyi, known as the Heavenly Sovereign, has already stood at the pinnacle of the human world, then the three old monsters of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism have already stepped at least one foot out of the human world.

How could such a terrifying existence not make people silent and suffocated?

So even though he knew that this matter would make his daughter unfair, Gongsun Du didn't know how to start the conversation.

But just at this moment, Han Shao interrupted with a faint smile.

"Forget it, both fathers-in-law, stop arguing. Let's just treat this as a joke."

"Although marriage is decided by parents and matchmakers, it still depends on mutual affection."

"Now that I'm married, there's no reason for me to let a Confucian lady suffer this injustice."

Hearing Han Shao's words, the somewhat depressed Gongsun Du suddenly raised his eyes, with surprise and astonishment in his eyes.

Li Wenjing hurriedly said.

"My brother Shao is a man of outstanding character and appearance, with talents and talents that are all first-rate in the world. He can make fairies and goddesses fall from the mortal world. How can a woman not be tempted? How can she be wronged?"

"Besides, my niece is very pretty and is also a beauty in the world. She has read the classics since she was young and knows all the heroes in the world. She is very familiar with your deeds, Shao Ge'er. I believe she has long admired you. If the two of you can get together, it will surely become a legend in the world..."

Seeing that Li Wenjing wanted to be the matchmaker so eagerly, Han Shao rolled his eyes helplessly and felt a little aggrieved for Jiang Wan for no reason.

It’s been a waste of time calling him godfather for so many years!

However, from Han Shao's perspective, it was difficult for him to feel any resentment towards Li Wenjing.

After all, as Li Wenjing said, if one could marry into the Jixia Academy, there would indeed be many benefits. For any man in the world, it could be considered a golden opportunity.

But Han Shao refused again.

"Father-in-law, I accept your kindness, but I don't want to disappoint my beautiful lady. I have my own wives at home. When we got married, I promised them that I would never disappoint them in my life. Therefore, I don't want to do this."

The term "wife of one's upbringing" is not a derogatory term.

Instead, it refers to a wife who eats and drinks with him and goes through hardships with him.

Han Shao had married Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan at the same time, and he already owed them both. How could he marry another person and ruin their rare love?
So Han Shao's "I don't want to" was said with great determination, leaving no room for negotiation.

Li Wenjing sighed and lamented upon seeing this.

"A true man is born in this world and can handle everything according to his discretion."

"You have great ambitions and you want to conquer the world. How can you be held back by a mere romance?"

When saying this, Li Wenjing looked quite dissatisfied.

He also studied Legalism. Not only did he believe in Legalism himself, but over time he would naturally be influenced by its ideas.

In Li Wenjing's opinion, a ruler should have a broad mind and be as ruthless as the law of nature. Isn't it ridiculous to be obsessed with petty love?

It’s just that he has his persistence, and Han Shao also has his own persistence.

No matter how much Li Wenjing talked about this matter, Han Shao would not agree.

Apart from not wanting to see his own family in turmoil and chaos, if one thinks more deeply, the idea of ​​an alliance with the Jixia Academy has its own pros and cons.

The benefits are just as Li Wenjing just said.

But there are also many disadvantages.

After all, once they were completely tied to Confucianism and the Jixia Academy, what would Taoism and Buddhism think? How would they respond?

Will this force them to stand on opposite sides and join forces to target us?

In addition, don’t forget, there is also the royal family, the Ji family!
As long as Emperor Taikang is alive, the empire will not collapse.

If we get too deeply involved with the three holy places at this time, wouldn't it be like Sima Zhao's intention is known to everyone?

Therefore, Han Shao's attitude towards the Jixia Academy will remain the same as it was in the past.

That is to maintain a certain distance from others before you become strong enough.

Seeing Han Shao being so stubborn, Li Wenjing couldn't help but sigh with regret.

"The teacher has no ill will towards you."

These words were undoubtedly a confession, but to Han Shao, this was not important.

To put it more bluntly, Han Shao is now fully grown. Even if we leave aside his own level of cultivation, after ten years of business, he has accumulated enough capital to build up a considerable fortune.

The support from the Jixia Academy was just icing on the cake for him, not a timely help.

But since Li Wenjing said this, he had to accept this kindness.

"I appreciate Mr. Dong's kindness, and I will definitely repay you in the future."

"It's just that some things need to be considered by oneself, and one can just proceed step by step and do it slowly."

When saying this, Han Shao chose to refer to himself as "Gu", and it was obvious that he was not talking to Li Wenjing, but to the Confucian master.

Li Wenjing naturally understood what Han Shao meant.

So after hearing this, I finally didn't continue the topic.

Compared with Li Wenjing's silence, Gongsun Du at this moment had a look of satisfaction and joy on his face.

Han Shao was so determined about the Jixia Academy and that Confucian master that he had not expected.

But that didn't stop him from being happy about it.

"He is kind, righteous, and responsible! I really didn't make a mistake in choosing him!"

After feeling emotional for a while, Gongsun Du thought about it and changed the subject in order to break the depressing atmosphere.

"By the way, what is Shao Ge'er going to do next?"

To be specific, Han Shao has actually done a lot of things in recent times.

Taking the opportunity of welcoming back Wuhuan and Miyabi mother and son, he comforted the Wuhuan tribes.

This is one of them.

Secondly, he personally went to the Wushu tribe, beheaded Jin Wushu, replaced him with Jin Taiji, and then forcibly supported the Chile tribe to maintain balance.

In this way, at least the back and waist in the north can be guaranteed to be safe in the short term.

And when there are no external threats, there are internal worries.

During these days, the Six Gates of Zhonghanggu, under the pretext of cracking down on corruption among the civil servants, have been cleaning up the noble families in various parts of Youbei.

This is the third one. As for the fourth one, it was what Han Shao had just done personally.

The Yulin Langwei, who had been painstakingly trained for ten years, completely replaced many veteran generals of the Zhenliao Army.

Preventing the Zhenliao faction from becoming too powerful is secondary. The most important thing is that after this step is completed, the Zhenliao army will be completely under his control from then on.

In this way, both external and internal troubles were resolved.

Next, Han Shao can completely let go and do whatever he wants.

So when faced with Gongsun Du's words, Han Shao spoke without much hesitation.

"Wait."

Wait?
Hearing Han Shao's words, Gongsun Du subconsciously responded.

"What are you waiting for?"

Han Shao smiled.

"I am waiting for the imperial edict to go north and allow me to go south to fight the enemy!"

Having said that, Han Shao continued with a smile before Gongsun Du and Li Wenjing could speak.

"Some time ago, I sent someone to the Divine Capital with the evidence of Yuan Feng's connection with Huang Tiandao."

"I think it won't be long before it is placed before your Majesty."

"As soon as your majesty's decree arrives, we, the men of Zhenliao, will march south to fight the enemy for your majesty!"

Gongsun Du was somewhat unconvinced when he heard this.

"That old man Yuan Feng suffered such a great loss at the hands of Huang Tiandao, how dare he still associate with him?"

Han Shao explained with a smile.

"Whether Yuan Feng is connected with Huang Tiandao or not is not important."

"The important thing is that I need him to connect with the Yellow Sky Thief Dao, and your majesty needs him too, and that's enough."

The Six Gates have been established for such a long time. If they can't even fabricate evidence and frame others, what's the point of keeping them around?

What's more, Yuan Feng did collude and make peace with Huang Tiandao in the past, and he still has some evidence, so it is not too unfair to him.

As for Emperor Taikang, you, Yuan Feng, have been in charge of Youzhou for so many years, allowing Huang Tiandao to wreak havoc without doing anything. This in itself is the biggest sin.

If his head could be used as a sacrifice, Emperor Taikang would certainly be happy to see it happen.

Seeing Gongsun Du's expression dull after hearing what he said, Han Shao was afraid that he could not accept his dirty tricks, so he had to defend himself.

"Father-in-law, in this turbulent time, we loyal ministers must be more treacherous than the treacherous ministers, so that we can be loyal to His Majesty!"

"What's more, Yuan Feng is openly planning to raise troops in Bingzhou, but in fact he has secretly conspired with Bingzhou to plot against me, Zhen Liao. How can I sit back and watch?"

and many more!

Weren't we just talking about rebellion all the time?

So... where do the loyal ministers come from?

Gongsun Du opened his mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Forget it, forget it. You can do whatever you want. If you need me to fight for you later, just let me know."

"Brothers fight together to fight tigers, and fathers and sons fight together in battle. Don't be embarrassed. Although the father is old, he can still wear armor and lift a sword and a gun."

When it comes to sensationalism, the old man Sun is also quite good at it.

You are just an eighth-level celestial being, how can you make yourself sound like an old man?

Han Shao smiled bitterly.

"Don't worry, father-in-law. If you really need me, I won't hesitate to help you."

Having said that, Gongsun Du probably won't be needed in this battle.

He had been able to keep Yuan Feng under his nose for so many years, so he naturally had the confidence that he could deal with him with just a wave of his hand.

The reason why he has been kept until now is simply to treat him as a fat sheep.

But now he is fat and strong, and deserves to be slaughtered!
……

Jundu Mountain is one of the eight ancient Taihang trails.

It is a rare and strategic place in Youzhou.

In recent years, with the construction of a majestic fortress called Juyongguan, the location of this place has become more prominent.

At this time, a group of people stood on the cloud platform of this city pass.

Yuan Feng, who was in the lead, stroked the battlements of the city wall that had cost him a lot of effort and money, and said with emotion.

"This city pass has bought us ten years of peace, which is worth it."

A city divides Youzhou into two parts, north and south.

With this city, he could stay safely in Youzhou City, and boldly let the Yuan family invest a large amount of resources into the Younan area behind him, without fear of those barbarians in the north riding their horses and whipping their horses to march straight in.

In response to Yuan Feng's sigh, the people behind him naturally echoed him.

"The governor has a long-term vision, and I can't wait."

"If the governor hadn't insisted on building this city despite all the opposition, there would be no Younan today."

"Yes, yes, the governor has a far-sighted vision, and I admire him..."

Although these words sounded like flattery and some were even repetitive, Yuan Feng still felt quite comfortable.

After all, he asked himself that after these years he no longer tried to hide himself and let go, the land of Younan had indeed changed a lot.

The population, financial resources, military equipment and military personnel are all no longer what they used to be.

If not for this, he would not have the courage to stand on this cloud platform and look at the flat land in the north.

After all, the frustration of being attacked by ten thousand black-armored cavalrymen who marched straight into the city and laid siege to the city had left a deep shadow on him.

Over the years, he has been thinking all the time about how to make himself stronger and avenge his previous humiliation.

Until this moment, he finally had the confidence to stand here.

"Look, it's those unruly rangers from the north again!"

The Yuntai is towering, and the surrounding mist occasionally obscures the view a little, but one can still see a group of black-armored cavalry galloping outside the pass, and then patrolling outside the pass at a certain distance, not staying there.

During this time, he would also make strange gestures.

Many soldiers on the wall thought this was a humiliation and responded with curses.

Some would even shoot in a burst, not as a warning or to kill, but just to vent their anger.

Only a few people looked at each other's gestures and guessed hesitantly.

"Why do I feel like they are...measuring something?"

But soon someone sneered and refuted.

"It's just a random gesture. These rude guys are obviously soldiers. How can they understand this?"

Also.

Ordinary warriors can hardly recognize a few words, how can they understand these profound things?
After taking a look at the black-armored cavalrymen below for a while, Yuan Feng also did not pay any attention to them.

In fact, since the moment Juyongguan was built, these cavalrymen of the Zhenliao Army have been roaming back and forth, and everyone has become accustomed to it.

Yuan Feng was even a little proud of this.

"It seems that it's not just me who feels uncomfortable, but those idiots in the Zhen Liao Army are also feeling uncomfortable with me!"

When you have a powerful neighbor watching you covetously, how can you not feel uneasy and anxious?

Being able to make the other person feel uncomfortable and unhappy is at least a comfort.

But fortunately, all this is finally coming to an end.

"Just wait a few more days until I join hands with Bingzhou to visit his Youbei land..."

Above the Yuntai, the wind was blowing fiercely.

Yuan Feng stood with his hands behind his back, imagining the glorious moment when he would ride his horse to Youbei and avenge his previous humiliation. He was about to ask about the preparations in Bingzhou.

Suddenly, a huge roar was heard outside the city wall in the distance.

Then, a dark shadow appeared in an instant.

boom--

Rubble was flying all over the city wall, and a few unlucky soldiers were caught off guard and had half of their heads chopped off before they could even react.

When the red and white painted all over the battlements around them, someone finally reacted and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Oh no! The Zhen Liao army is attacking!"
