Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 151

On the eighth day of January in the 25th year of Xijia, the second and third sons of the emperor left the palace for Fengcheng and Nanluo.

In a few days, Chen Song led 1 soldiers from Beijing, Ji, Da, and Ying to reinforce Nangong, Jing, Ji, and Ying, with 8000 left behind, and 5000 recruits from Xiao, Qi, and Battalion.

Since Kunsang was devastated at the Battle of Yanuhe in 23, after more than a year of recuperation, he gradually recovered.

Emperor Rui sent Du Zitian to be in charge of borrowing troops from the northwest, and sent a letter to Kunsang with Mrs. Shujia's handwritten letter.At the same time, an order was issued to order the Seventh Princess to return to Beijing to visit her relatives with her Hedu children.

The seventh princess, Mu Jinghan, received the letter and persuaded Kunsang Hedu to send troops.Hedu himself did not leave Kunsang, he sent Moku, who was always close to Daliang, to lead 5000 troops across northern Xinjiang, bypassing Yujing, and went straight to Fengcheng.

In the battle of the Yanu River in the northwest, not only Kunsang in Hedu suffered heavy losses, but also more than [-] elite soldiers were lost in Daliang, and the Xiaoqi Battalion suffered heavy losses, almost all of them remained on the battlefield.After the war, the remaining soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion stayed in the northwest and were incorporated into the Northwest Army, under the command of General Lu.

After more than a year of recruiting troops, Xiao, Qi, and Battalion had [-] new recruits.These five thousand recruits practice together with soldiers in Beijing, Ji, Da, and battalions on weekdays.

This time Fengcheng reinforcements, the emperor mobilized the capital, Ji, battalion, and soldiers, but did not move Xiao, Qi, and Ying, who have always been famous for their bravery and combat skills. reason.

After Chen Song entered Beijing, Ji, Da, and Ying, he always understood the emperor's arrangement.The Chen family branch has been stationed in southern Xinjiang for more than ten years, and all uncles and brothers in the family serve in the southern Xinjiang army.

Since he got married, he has been staying in the capital.One is that he was young at the beginning, and then there was a war in the northwest, so he was not in a hurry; two, the emperor was worried about the Chen family and needed him to stay in Beijing as a pledge.

Now the third generation of the family has risen, and the emperor has transferred him from the Imperial Forest Army to the capital, Ji, Day, and camp.Not surprisingly, he will, like his father and brother, guard the southern border and fight in the southern border.

This time the troops are dispatched to Fengcheng, other people may not be able to see the intention behind it.But as a member of the Chen family, he still knows it clearly.

The eldest son of Nanjiang was at odds with the high priest, and the king of Nanjiang was old and incompetent.The situation in southern Xinjiang is unstable. If the son of southern border ascends the throne, this warlike son may face another challenge.

Fengcheng is far away from Nanluo, which borders on Nanjiang.That's why the royal family insisted on the power of the thirteen counties of the Du family's Nanluo, not for other reasons, but because the royal family should send inquiring news in Nangong, Tibet, and soldiers in the near future, in case of emergencies.

He went to support Du Jiu and Du Zicheng because the emperor wanted to strengthen the relationship between the Du family and the Chen family.It is not enough to have only the Chen family in southern Xinjiang. The Du family and the third prince may make great achievements in southern Xinjiang.

For Du and Chen to work together and work hard for the empire.The emperor had secretly agreed to the marriage between the Chen and Du families, and even pointed out the daughter of Mrs. Huimin, who was born in the Chen family, to the Du family.

All these incidents are nothing more than the emperor's move to make the two families feel at ease and let the two marry and cooperate.Therefore, compared to the Du family, the Chen family has no choice.The Chen family can only choose the royal family.

Of course, Chen Song also has his own selfish motives.Who owns the throne has little to do with his family, and the family doesn't have to get involved in the battle for the throne.

But if it was her son in that position, it was better than someone else's son.The two families of Du and Chen are good friends, and the Chen family should be able to protect themselves.

Chen Song led the men and horses to gallop all the way, and within five days, they arrived at the North Daokou.

Because Beidaokou has not been attacked by war, it has always been easy to defend and difficult to attack, making it look majestic and simple.Liangjun Wang led his troops to garrison at the North Daokou, guarding the last line of defense of Nanluo.

King Liangjun had arrived at the North Road Pass three days ago.Du Jiu dispersed his men and horses, chased them along the way, and treated the wounded.In fact, there is no way to return to Fangbei Road Crossing.

King Liangjun took 15 personal guards and organized the people at Beidaokou to defend themselves, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

The arrival of Chen Song relieved the pressure on Prince Liang and Du Zicheng.

King Liangjun immediately left Chen Song to lead [-] elite troops to garrison the North Daokou, firstly to prevent Fengyang King from attacking back, and secondly, to reinforce the last line of defense in Nanluo.

The Chen family army stationed in southern Xinjiang has no more than [-] troops.People in southern Xinjiang are good at witches and Gu, and they also surprise people when they do harm.There is nothing wrong with being careful.

Of the remaining 7000 troops, [-] were led by King Liang and stationed along the way to treat civilians and wounded soldiers.Appease the people in the city after the war and help the people restore their livelihood.

Du Jiu's remnants joined the [-] capital, Ji, Ying, and soldiers, and Du Jiu led them to continue to pursue King Fengyang.

King Fengyang went all the way north, and was flanked by Du Jiu's men, so he didn't dare to enter the city easily to burn, kill and loot.

Fortunately, after entering the Fengyang fiefdom, the Fengyang king was more familiar with the terrain than Du Jiu and the others. He dispersed his subordinates and broke them into wholes, planning to march towards the base camp of Fengcheng.

Du Jiu followed the people who had lost King Fengyang, so he had no choice but to enter the city, and sent small groups of troops to sneak into every town along the way to investigate.

Here, after the second prince returned to Fengcheng's residence, he followed Xin Yin, which was quite peaceful.

Fengcheng has been besieged for a long time since King Fengyang fled.With the support of the Bai family in Fengcheng, the prince of Fengyang Wang had the faint idea of ​​succeeding Fengyang Wang.

After Xin Yin took over Fengcheng, according to the previous plan of the emperor and the eight kings, he stood still and only surrounded but not suppressed. He just waited for the opportunity to divide Fengcheng's forces in one fell swoop, and surrendered without fighting.

Yimao has been lurking in Fengcheng for several years, not only to drive a wedge between Fengyang Wang and the Bai family, but also to persuade Fengyang Wang to escape from the secret road at a critical moment.

He also gained the trust of Prince Fengyang's son, and even negotiated with the Bai family many times.

The opportunity Xin Yin was waiting for was that the imperial court could send troops to cut off the back of King Fengyang, cooperate with him to attack from inside and outside, and kill King Fengyang.

Xin Yin took back the troops stationed in Fengcheng early in the morning, and always wanted to sneak into Fengcheng with the hidden guards.Infiltrating into the interior is to investigate the news again, and the second is to force Fengyang Bai's family to express their position, and force Fengyang Wang Shizi to meet Fengyang Wang in arms.

It's just that it's easy for him to sneak into Fengcheng now, but what's not easy is that after he leaves the Chinese army, the Chinese army will go its own way, and the second prince may not be able to hold back when King Fengyang makes a surprise attack.

When Xin Yin was in trouble, Du Jiu took his men back to Fengcheng.It turned out that he sent a small group of forces to infiltrate and investigate, but still found nothing, so he decisively led two thousand men back to Fengcheng.The remaining 2000 troops stayed in the same place and waited to meet up with King Liangjun.

Not long after Du Jiu came back, the three thousand fine riders sent by Kunsang also arrived in Fengcheng.It was Moku from Kunsang who led the army. When Du Jiu saw Moku in the tent of the Chinese army, he blurted out "Six Brothers", which made Moku squint his eyes gloomyly.

After explaining later, Du Jiu developed a great affection for Moku.Mo Ku was already acquainted with Xin Yin and Prince Liang, and even talked a few words with Prince Liang's uncle, Du Jiu.

Du Jiu is young, but those veterans in the army are optimistic about the young man of the Du family.Moreover, Du Jiu is open-minded, unlike the second prince who is tyrannical and bullies others by relying on power, but his popularity in the army is much better than that of the second prince.

Moreover, Du Jiu had been in charge of the thirteen counties of Nanluo in the past six months, and had dealt with those contacts in the counties for a long time who made a living by scouting out news, so he naturally learned to deal with all kinds of people.

Xin Yin entrusted the Chinese army to the Second Prince, Du Jiu and the Queen of Liangjun, and sneaked into Fengcheng with the twelve knights of the dark guards.

The Twelve Cavalry of the Dark Guards, from the Twelve Divisions of the Dark Guards, is composed of the most skilled leaders of the dark guards.Everyone can be one against a hundred, and they are all top-notch on the battlefield in terms of scouting, assassination, and guarding.It was the Mu family's elite forces that followed the founding emperor at the beginning of their conquest of the world.Back then when the twelve secret guards came out, the enemy was fearful.The Twelve Departments of Dark Guards have disappeared since the founding of the Liang Dynasty.

According to folk rumors, the Twelve Departments of the Dark Guard were personally executed by the suspicious founding emperor in his later years.Little did they know, the emperor left the best hole cards to each generation of successors.

Every successor emperor will be followed by the twelve secret guards.Each generation of emperors does not directly train the dark guards, but has the right to decide and control the dark guards.The ones who really trained the hidden guards were the princes who stayed in the capital every generation and were trusted by the emperor.

When the Uncle Regent was in power, the emperor had no choice but to kill the Uncle Regent in the Queen's bedroom because the Uncle Regent was the previous generation who stayed in Beijing to train the secret guards.The hidden guards were controlled by him, and the emperor had no choice but to do it himself.

Before dying, the Holy Mother and Empress Dowager handed over the hidden guards to the Eight Kings who were only less than nine years old.It has been 25 years since the Eight Kings took over the dark guards, and the new generation of dark guards are all trained by him.

There are twelve dark guards, each with 12 people, and each of them has their own unique skills.For example, Yi Mao of Part B is good at disguise and scheming, the leader of Part C is good at chasing, Bing Chen is good at sophistry, and Part D is good at numbers and inquiring information.Xinbu, who was individually asked to be trained by the emperor, was not only good at disguise, but also good at spying, poisoning, and medicine.

The twelve secret guards are mostly composed of the descendants of the tribe who guarded the birthplace, needless to say their loyalty to the Daliang royal family.None of the imperial secret guards in the past dynasties entered the dynasty, and only the chief of the secret guards was the royal prince who was in charge of the clan mansion.

During Emperor Rui's reign, there was an accident like Xin Yin's.Xin Yin's original life was Xin Yin, and Xin Bu evolved from the character Xin in his name.The Ministry of Xin does not belong to the emperor and is not responsible to the emperor.

Since the establishment of the Ministry of Xin, Xin Yin has only done one thing, which is to support Mrs. Shujia in her position.After leaving the palace after the age of 25, the emperor put him in the open to lead the army.

After the civil strife in Los Angeles, Xin Yin himself belonged to the Anbu and was responsible for listening to the emperor's dispatch.

The emperor put Xin Yin in Fengcheng, but gave Xin Yin great privileges, allowing him to mobilize the twelve secret guards.

Xin Yin sneaked into Fengcheng with 12 secret guards, and secretly met with the head of the Bai family in Fengyang, and no one knew what they talked about.

As for his ability to successfully sneak into the Bai family in Fengcheng, it was thanks to Xiao Hei who was sent back to Fengyang by Mrs. Shujia after Fengyang was under martial law.

After recognizing Xin Yin, the nine daughters of the Patriarch of the Bai family, Xiao Hei, whose biological mother is a maiden from Southern Xinjiang, leaked the whereabouts of the Patriarch of the Bai family to Xin Yin.

Xin Yin met the head of the Bai family in the study of the Bai family.

What the two men discussed afterwards is unknown.But the prince of Fengyang and the white girl from Fengyang's mansion visited the Bai mansion at night. After the three of them conspired all night, they reached a new cooperation with Xin Yin.

When Xin Yin left Fengcheng, one person was left behind and two were taken away.Yimao, who was good at disguise, was left behind, and the nine daughters of the Bai family and Mu Yunming, the son of Prince Fengyang, were taken away.

The remaining Yimao, disguised as Mu Yunming, continued to stay in Fengcheng.

In the 25th year of Xijia, at the end of January, the king of Fengyang led his troops back to Fengcheng, and confronted the [-] court troops stationed in Fengyang.

The two sides were evenly matched, and King Fengyang blew the horn of the Northern Expedition to contact Fengcheng's subordinates.Prepare to attack front and rear, and outflank the troops encircling Daliang.

Unexpectedly, on the battlefield, the prince of Fengyang and the Bai family turned against each other.The drama of killing relatives by righteousness was staged. The son of Fengyang Wang, the son of the white girl of the Bai family, counted the ten crimes of Fengyang King's rebellion against the court on the city wall of Fengcheng, and vowed to kill Fengyang King's forces and eradicate Daliang and Jiangshan. Harmful.

Xin Yin commanded the Chinese army to retreat to the northern barren mountain, leaving Mu Yunming, the son of Fengyang Prince, and Fengyang Prince and his son facing each other.

The city of Fengyang was not at peace. Ever since Fengyang Wang's son and Fengyang King tore apart their faces, Fengyang King stayed in the remnants of Fengyang and began to fight back.The forces of the Bai family and the prince of Fengyang were backlashed and severely damaged.

The son of Fengyang Wang was even shot by Fengyang Wang on the city wall, which hurt the arm he raised when he took the oath, and he was warned.The Mu character banner that had just been erected in Fengcheng was also shot down by Fengyang King himself.

King Fengyang is really suspicious and good at making arrangements. When he fled Fengyang, he thought that his son and Bai family in Fengyang city would be instigated by the chaos.Therefore, the elite he stayed in Fengyang did not all retreat, and now he calmed down and pretended to take refuge in the hidden old department of Fengyang Wang Shizi, which helped him win a game at a critical moment.

The interior of Fengcheng was quickly cleared by the former Ministry of Fengyang King. The Patriarch of the Bai family was killed when he escaped from the city. Before he died, he howled angrily, "Mu Xinyin, you villain, Mu Yunlan, you are so cruel! "

The Bai family was beheaded by Fengyang Wang's old department, and Fengyang Wang's son disappeared in the chaos.The Fengyang Palace has been the hostess for more than twenty years, but in fact she has been in the Fengyang Palace all her life. The Bai girl burned down the Fengyang Palace in Fengcheng where she was imprisoned for half her life.

The white girl who was envied by women all over the world, the white girl who once told Fengyang King not to marry a wife or take a concubine, but to only love her alone, died in that fire.

It is only a matter of time before the forces in Fengcheng are cleared up. King Fengyang looked at the fallen flag on the city wall and smiled contemptuously, "Mu Yunlan, your father has never asked for any favors from this king, just relying on you. To wipe out Fengcheng and get rid of this king is simply wishful thinking!"
