Wen Ranran looked at the file in front of her and sighed helplessly.
To be honest, there is a reason why the Youzhou Ji family has been able to maintain a low profile for so many years.
At that time, the three brothers of the Ji family followed Emperor Taizu in conquering the territory of Rongguo. In the end, the eldest brother settled in Sichuan and Shu in the west, and the third brother settled in Lingnan in the south. Only the most honest second brother
Brother, I have been stationed at the important town where the Yan Kingdom and the Rong Kingdom meet.
The other two places are both places with good mountains and rivers. It would be great to be a local emperor in that place.
Only this branch of the Youzhou Ji family, with their hard work for many years, preserved the present northern border of Rongguo.
However, in the Battle of Wangcheng, Ji Tong finally followed his father to fight outside and fought in Wangcheng. At that time, he competed with the Yan State for control of the Li River in the back. Both Lingnan and Sichuan came to help. Troops from various places were recruited, but they could not resist the Yan State.
National Iron Cavalry.
The armies from Sichuan, Shu and Lingnan arrived extremely slowly, but at that time, Emperor Rongcheng's eyes were only on recovering the territory of Anguo.
In the battle of Wangcheng, the Ji family finally defended it, and they did so with the lives of fifty thousand soldiers.
Half of the 100,000-strong army was buried in the tiger's mouth, and the imperial court turned a deaf ear to this kind of meat-grinder fighting.
It's no wonder that although Ji Tong has been honest and contented for so many years, his words reveal his hatred for Emperor Rongcheng.
This kind of dissatisfaction has also affected the entire army in Youzhou City to a certain extent. Everyone will resent that their military life ended up like this.
It's just that...the country of Rongguo should be defended, but it must be defended...
Wen Ranran closed the file and gently rubbed her eyebrows.
Behind him, Tao Yuanyuan came in furiously, with a very bad look on her face. Obviously, the handover and running-in between Feiyunqi and Youzhou City Guards was not very good.
"It seems that over the years, Ji Tong has been very good at training Youzhou's city guards."
Although Tao Yuanyuan felt depressed, she could understand Ji Tong to a certain extent.
Wen Ranran pursed her lips and nodded slightly.
"However, it is extremely urgent now. If Ji Tong has always been like this, it is difficult to protect these city guards and they will not rebel with him..." Tao Yuanyuan also felt worried, "I can't kill him, and I can't persuade him to surrender.
It’s really…”
Wen Ranran didn't say anything, but just glanced at the yard where Ji Tong now lived.
After that day, Ji Tong was put under house arrest in the courtyard as if he was imprisoned. Wen Ranran sent the top Gu Qiandao to take care of him all the way. Although Ji Tong seemed calm on the surface, in fact he was always screwing up.
I am eager to see the jokes between Wen Ranran and Tao Yuanyuan.
It's difficult...
…
In Ji Tong's courtyard, Gu Qiandao looked at the sluggish Ji Tong. Within a few days, the lord of Youzhou City, who was so high-spirited just a few days ago, now looked much older, and even his temples were completely white.
"I say General Ji, you'd better eat some!" Gu Qiandao was holding the bowl, feeling particularly embarrassed.
Ji Tong sat there like a piece of wood, motionless.
Gu Qiandao twitched the corner of his mouth and put on a charming smile, "How about... I will feed you?"
Ji Tong: "Get out!"
Gu Qiandao curled his lips, "To be honest, I deeply feel that you should just accept it, right?"
Ji Tong's expression was cold, and he just looked at Gu Qiandao, "Ah... My father died in the battle at Wangcheng, along with three of his distant uncles, and two of my father's handsome lieutenants were seriously injured and disabled.
How long did it take for him to die... Now, you want me to surrender to the imperial army?! How can I explain to my brothers in the city guard army?!"
Gu Qiandao just looked at the other party indifferently, "Then what do you want? Let Xia Lihong kill the emperor directly, but wait until both he and the Yan State's cavalry are defeated? Then the Yan State captures Pingzhou and marches south?"
