Since the arrival of 120,000 reinforcements led by Chu Jing and Su Qi, the battle situation at the border was quickly reversed.

Chu Jing used his troops properly and cooperated with the defenders in Datong Town to attack the Tatars from both sides and backwards, annihilated 30,000 enemies, and severely defeated their power. Seeing that the plan to siege the city failed, the Tatars carried out many powerful attacks, but were successfully resisted by Chu Jing.

After several struggles, there were heavy casualties, with less than 100,000 people left.

In Xuanfu Town, Duke Dingguo's injuries improved, and people had woken up and were able to issue orders. The backbone soldiers of the border returned, changed their previous decadent attitude, and were full of fighting spirit when fighting against the Tatars, which severely hit the other party's arrogance.

.

It is worth mentioning that in a plain battle, Su Qi, the son of Dingguo Duke Su Yuan, invited himself to be the vanguard in front of the formation, personally led 10,000 elite cavalry into the enemy's army. After a fierce battle day and night, he finally killed the enemy's head.

Eight thousand, capturing ten thousand enemies, was extremely brave, and greatly boosting our army's might.

For a time, the Tatars were defeated step by step, their offensives were suppressed in all directions, and their combat effectiveness was weakened in the repeated defeats of siege battles. It was almost impossible to hold on for a long time, and it was only a matter of time to withdraw troops and negotiate peace.

When the news reached the capital, the people were excited. In addition to praising the bravery of the border soldiers, they lamented that Duke Ding was worthy of being the god of war in the world. As long as he was in charge of the border, the Tatars could only look at the Great Wall and sigh, and that an inch of land could not be invaded.

A chant was said to this: The father and son of the Ding Kingdom are here, and the four realms of the Daxia Dynasty are safe.

"'The father and son of the Dingguo Kingdom are here, and the four areas of the Daxia Dynasty are safe'...he..."

In the imperial study, Emperor Jing Feng chewed this sentence in his mouth for a long time, then sneered, his eyes as cold as ice:

"It's right. As soon as Duke Ding was injured, all the soldiers on the border were panicked and didn't know how to fight the war. Even his seventeen-year-old son Su Qi could stabilize the morale of the army at a young age.

His father’s demeanor. Tell me, without such a pillar of the country, wouldn’t my Daxia Dynasty be able to move?”

The old eunuch Ning Fuhai silently lowered his head when he heard this, looking at his eyes, nose and heart, and did not dare to respond rashly.

Emperor Jingfeng did not expect him to give any response, and continued to say to himself: "But it is no wonder that the whole family of the Su family has been loyal and martyrs, and the children of all generations have fought for our dynasty in all directions. It has been passed down to Su Yuan's generation, but it is still iron.

He is determined and has no prodigal waste who has defamed his ancestors' reputation."

"It's a pity..." Emperor Jing Feng narrowed his eyes and his voice suddenly sank. He heard Ning Fuhai's back chills, "They are so prestige in the army that the soldiers on the border only recognize Su.

Home, don't know the court..."

As he said that, Emperor Jingfeng chuckled softly, but his eyes were as deep as ink, and there was no smile: "If this lasts for a long time, I might as well give this country to his Su family."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuchs and palace maids in the room knelt on the ground tremblingly.

A little eunuch was probably so scared that when he knelt down, he didn't notice that the corner of his clothes was hooked by the glass lampshade next to him. With a "pop", the glass fragments all over the ground were shattered.

Emperor Jingfeng glanced at the little eunuch who looked lonely when he heard the sound. He could not see any expression on his face and said to Ning Fuhai: "From today, he will not have to serve in the imperial study room."

The little eunuch was trembling with his heart and courage. The cold sweat that emerged from his body instantly wet his clothes. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty! You Your Majesty! You Your Majesty... Um!"

As if he felt noisy, Emperor Jingfeng frowned and hooked his hand outside the door. An imperial guard then walked in and dragged him out with his mouth tightly covering the eunuch's mouth. Soon, the sound of struggle coming from outside increased.

It gets weaker and eventually disappears completely.

Emperor Jingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the Su flag from the table to defeat the Tatar cavalry, and said thoughtfully: "Since Su flag is so promising, and can stand alone at a young age, then just

Let Duke Ding take a good rest from now on..."

Since Su Qi left that night, Gu Yunji has sent many letters in just one month, but he didn't know whether it was because Su Qi was plagued by military affairs or because the border post station was affected by the war, so he replied to him.

Have not received it.

If Gu Yunji hadn't seen Su Qi's victory in the battle from the di newspaper every few days, he would have almost doubted whether there was something unexpected on the battlefield.

Although he learned that everything was fine and even made many military achievements, Gu Yunji's heart was still empty, as if he was missing a piece - this was the first time he knew that the academy life without Su Qi was so boring.

The border war is about to stop. As long as the Tatars are completely defeated and then clean up the mess, Su Qi will almost come back. Gu Yunji thought so.

Without the laughter and noise from his ears, Gu Yunji felt that even the food in his mouth was a bit uncomfortable. Just as he was bored and fighting a piece of hard-cooked pork ribs, a student holding a pile of letters ran towards him.

shouted from afar:

"Junior Brother Gu, Junior Brother Cheng! I have your letter!"

Gu Yunji stood up from his seat and quickly took the letter. Over the past few days, he finally saw the name he was looking forward to in the place where the sender was sending the letter.

But as he looked, the joy on his face gradually faded.

Su Qi said in the letter that although the main Tatar troops had withdrawn from the grassland, some remaining soldiers and cavalry came to invade from time to time, and they could not completely relax at the moment.

In addition, since Duke Ding was not as good as before after he recovered from his injury and could not bear the bitter cold of northern borders, the court removed his military post and transferred him back to Beijing to recuperate. At the same time, he raised the Su Banner to be the deputy general of Xuanfu Town, which was quite similar.

He guarded the border on behalf of his father.

After all, it's just the same thing. Su Qi wants to stay at the border and will not come back for a while. When he returns to Beijing to report his duties at the end of the year, maybe Emperor Jingfeng can allow him to stay in the capital for a longer time, so that he can

We will leave after Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan finish the exam.

Gu Yunji was in a little depressed mood without getting the most desired result, but no matter what, he finally received a letter from Su Qi, which is also a happy thing.

Just as Gu Yunji was about to hand the letter to Cheng Yan and share the news with him, he saw his lips tightly pursed and his face pale as paper.

Seeing Cheng Yan's slightly trembling hand, Gu Yunji was a little worried: "What's wrong with Cheng Yan? His face is so bad? Is it because of your family that bad news?"

"No, nothing, just a trivial matter." Cheng Yan smiled reluctantly and noticed Gu Yunji's gaze. He quietly hid the letter behind him, "Has Su Qi sent a letter?"

Gu Yunji nodded: "Well, but he said he won't come back for the time being."

After reading the letter from beginning to end, Cheng Yan's expression was slightly relaxed: "No matter what, Su Qi is safe. Since he may have waited for us to pass the exam before leaving, we must also work hard and prepare for the provincial examination with all our might. We can't

I don’t even have the qualification to participate in the next year’s examination.”
