"Jiang's army did not massacre the North-conquering Army, but some of them still resisted stubbornly and fought to the death to break through, resulting in many casualties. Later, I led General Zhenbei to meet at Beiyan Pass at the expense of [-] captives. After persuading General Zhenbei to surrender, General Zhenbei led [-] Zhenbei troops to surrender to Dajiang. He also came forward to appease the besieged Zhengbei army and reduce casualties. In order to protect the reputation of General Zhenbei, he announced to the outside world that the entire Northern Expedition army had conquered the whole country. The army was destroyed.”

Jiang Fuguang was stunned: "How could General Zhenbei..."

General Zhenbei is a direct descendant of the Qi family. After he followed his grandfather to pacify the north, he was ordered to guard the north. He was the deputy general of the Northern Expedition. He could not surrender the enemy easily.

Ji Ruxuan looked at her and said: "I took out your personal seal and told him that Jiang Lingrong killed the general, imprisoned the eldest princess, and worked with aristocratic families to usurp the throne. He also had private contact with General Hussar and knew some inside information. ."

With Jiang Fuguang's personal seal and the evidence from General Hussar's words, the old general believed what he said.

Taiwei Mansion is in charge of the country's military affairs, and many military generals in the court look up to the Qi family. Jiang Fuguang is in charge of the military and can command the generals across the country. Her personal seal is comparable to the tiger talisman used to dispatch troops and generals.

On the day of the palace coup, Jiang Fuguang didn't know if he could survive, so he secretly put his personal seal on him, probably thinking of this day.

Jiang Fuguang looked at him deeply: "With these words alone, it is obviously impossible to completely make a veteran general who has been on the battlefield abandon his home country and surrender to another country. What did you do to him? ?”

That was a fierce general under my grandfather's command. After my grandfather's death, General Zhenbei was the oldest general in the Southern Dynasty, except for General Bai who retired early.

It was not that she suspected that Ji Ruxuan was unfavorable to General Zhenbei, she just guessed at what price Ji Ruxuan had to pay to make General Zhenbei change his mind.

Ji Ruxuan shrugged and looked at her: "I told General Zhenbei that if the general surrenders Dajiang, I will allow General to lead [-] Zhenbei troops to South Vietnam to rescue General Qiao Xiao."

One hundred thousand cavalrymen of the Western Bo Kingdom are pressing down on the border. The General of the Southern Dynasty is short of troops and will definitely ask for help from the imperial court. However, the Southern Dynasty no longer has a large army that can be dispatched. The General of the Southern Dynasty and the General of the Valiant Cavalry cannot receive additional troops from the imperial court for support, so they can only ask the General of the Hussars for help. Ask for help.

As a result, South Vietnam was short of troops.

There are millions of Vietnamese people and millions of soldiers. General Piao Xiao is extremely brave, but even with insufficient troops, he may not be able to stop a large-scale riot.

"General Zhenbei agreed."

The old general knew very well that the imperial court no longer had troops that could be dispatched. The remaining troops were responsible for defending the city and could not be mobilized. There were still nearly [-] troops on the Luojing defense line, which was to defend the capital and protect the emperor and nobles. Interests.

Not only did South Vietnam, which lacked military strength, receive no support from the imperial court for additional troops, it even failed to provide supplies when the Northern Expedition depleted the national treasury and supplies were in short supply.

The hussar general fought alone.

Emperor Guanghe visited Beiyan Pass in person, and Jiang Chao's southern expedition was a foregone conclusion. Even if he fought with Jiang Chao in the north and could not get supplies from the court, Jiang's army would be exhausted and the Zhenbei Army would be exhausted, and defeat was a foregone conclusion.

The Jiang Dynasty had already sacrificed [-] soldiers for a ridiculous northern expedition. Is it possible that the lives of the remaining [-] soldiers who were besieged and the [-] soldiers who suppressed the north were still needed? At present, wars are raging in the Southern Dynasty. Once the rebellion in South Vietnam cannot be controlled, the Southern Dynasty will usher in a fierce counterattack by the Vietnamese people. While the Jiang Dynasty invades, the people will also have to bear the bitter consequences of foreign invasion. The princes from all over the country will participate in the war in the name of King Qin and conquer. It is still unknown whether General Nan can resist the southern invasion of Tibet. He can quell the South Vietnamese rebellion as soon as possible and support the southwest war...

The old general covered in blood was wide-eyed with tears in his eyes, but he was unwilling to give up. He slowly bent his knees, took off the helmet that was armed to the teeth, exposed his own weakness, took off the saber from his waist, and iron The stern man lowered his head slowly to show his submission.

Even Ji Ruxuan couldn't help but sigh that General Zhenbei was indeed a direct descendant of the Qi family. Like the Qi family, he cared more about the people of his country.

Jiang Fuguang raised his eyes and looked at him: "You really have good intentions."

Ji Ruxuan said confidently: "It doesn't matter. Who makes General Hussar my uncle?"

Jiang Fuguang opened his mouth, but did not correct his title.

She lowered her eyes and finally said the explanation that he had been blocking for a long time and had never had time to say: "I don't blame you. Since ancient times, there has never been a right or wrong in war, only positions. I can't ask you to ignore it for me." The life and death of Jiang Dynasty soldiers."

"The life of the Northern Expeditionary Army is life, and the life of Jiang Jun is also life. No one deserves to die. The person who should really bear the responsibility for the sacrifice of the Northern Expeditionary Army is Jiang Lingrong, and everyone in the DPRK used the Northern Expeditionary Army for their own selfish desires. They become relatives and establish a family that is governed by clan politics."

After all, it was a hundred thousand lives, the loyal souls of the martyrs who once protected the country, Jiang Fuguang still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

But Ji Ruxuan understands her and what she cares about most.

Ji Ruxuan felt relieved and squatted in front of her, looking up at her: "According to your wishes, I recommended Enke first, trained a group of disciples of the emperor, suppressed the aristocratic families, promoted the reform of the tax system, and started a business in the court. Official school... I will listen to you in everything and do what you want. This is a road that no one has traveled. I don’t know if it is right, and I don’t know what the situation will be like in the future? I am afraid of disappointing you. ."

Jiang Fuguang paused for breath. "Taiping Lun Zhi" overturned the old system and reformed the new system. There must be omissions in it, and it needs to be continuously improved during the implementation process.

She herself is not sure whether all views are beneficial to the people.

Maybe she should take a trip to Jiang Chao to see how effective the New Deal is, instead of arbitrarily believing that the New Deal will be beneficial to the people.

Ji Ruxuan always understood her and knew what she cared about: "Because of a prophecy, everyone thought that I would become the human emperor who would unify the north and south, pacify the four barbarians, and create an unparalleled prosperity. But Jiang Fuguang, even I didn't I know whether I will be a wise king or a holy master. Everything I do now is in accordance with the "Taiping Theory" written by you. It is because you hope that the world will be peaceful and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, so I work hard to do it. .”

He looked up at her, his face full of wind and frost and exhaustion, which made Jiang Fuguang's heart tremble.

"You..." As soon as she opened her mouth, she realized that her throat was shaking so much that she was so choked that she couldn't speak.

Ji Ruxuan seemed to be really tired. He lay on Jiang Fuguang's lap: "Compared to me, the human emperor who was destined to be born by destiny, you have done more for this world. I even think that you are the one who is the real one." A man of destiny who can bring peace to the world."
