The three hundred and sixteenth chapter is to fight
As Shangguan Wan Ning expected, the magistrate of Southeast Prefecture did not report the Turkic attack to the imperial court at all.
When Mu Jingrui took the secret guard and started playing in the court, Emperor Long Yan was furious and immediately ordered the magistrate of the Southeast Prefecture to be held accountable.
"Your Majesty, the most urgent task now is to send troops and horses to the border for reinforcements." Shangguan Yue exchanged glances with Mu Jingrui secretly.
The emperor nodded and asked: "Who does Shangguan Aiqing think is the appropriate candidate?"
"Of course Master Ling."
Shangguan Yue looked at Ling Ruiying, who had always remained silent, and raised a meaningful smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Master Ling has been guarding the Southeast Prefecture for so many years and is very familiar with the situation there. When he was guarding there, everything was peaceful. As soon as he left, the Turks dared to invade. This shows that Master Ling is a well-deserved pillar of the country.
.”
Ling Ruiying took a few steps forward, raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to take orders to go out to destroy the Turks and enhance the prestige of our country."
He didn't even refute, which surprised both Mu Jingrui and Shangguan Yue.
The situation at the border was urgent. After hesitating for a moment, the emperor decreed that Ling Ruiying should be conferred the title of marshal, hold the commander's seal, and ask the Ministry of War to assist him in handling matters concerning the expedition.
"I always feel that Ling Ruiying agreed to leave the capital so easily... it's a little weird."
Shangguan Yue also agreed with Mu Jingrui's view.
"You go to war with a few confidants. I want to see what tricks he is playing."
Before Mu Jingrui and Shangguan Yue could see clearly, Ling Ruiying revealed the answer himself.
Three days later at the morning court, Ling Ruiying was carried to the court by Ling Yuwen, with wounds all over his body.
"Your Majesty, an assassin came to assassinate my father last night. My father was unprepared and was assassinated."
Ling Yuwen looked very tired and extremely depressed.
"All the assassins who were captured alive died by cutting off their meridians. However, tokens of the Turkic royal family were found from their bodies. Those people... are all from the Turks."
Ling Ruiying was so seriously injured that he would definitely not be able to lead his troops on an expedition.
This troubled the emperor.
He looked around and finally fixed his gaze on Mu Jingrui.
"It seems that the only choice is for you, Mu Aiqing, to put on your armor and go into battle and lead the troops yourself."
"I accept my order."
Mu Jingrui didn't refuse. After all, the border war was tense and he couldn't help but focus on personal fighting.
What's more, Shangguan Wan Ning is still there, and he is also worried about his fiancée's safety.
Shangguan Wan Ning carefully studied the medical books left to her by Lu Xiangzi, and there were many places that she was still unclear about.
She was thinking about returning to Yaowang Valley to visit Lu Xiangzi after things here were over.
I don’t know how he and Sun Jinyao are doing now.
"Miss, it's not good."
Huo Gang knocked on the door and came in, looking a little anxious.
"Brother Huo, what's the matter?"
"When I first took to the streets, I heard that the troops led by General Jin Shen were trapped on the Golden Beach."
“Golden Beach?”
Shangguan Wan Ning went to the table on the other side and spread out the map, finding the location of the Golden Beach.
It is the junction of the Central Plains and the Turkic lands. It is remote and desolate.
"It's so empty here, how could we be trapped? All we need is the imperial court sending troops for reinforcements."
"Miss, my expression may not be accurate. To be precise, trapped does not mean being besieged by the Turks, but... a dilemma."
Huo Gang scratched his head and organized his speech for a long time before explaining: "General Jin Shen led the imperial troops and horses to confront the Turkic troops and horses. If the Turkic troops and horses cannot break through his defense line, they cannot attack the state capital. But... the state capital refused.
We sent troops for reinforcements, and even food and grass were not supplied."
Shangguan Wan Ning's face changed slightly.
This is someone who wants to harm Jin Ruhong.
Without grain and grass, no matter how elite the team can't hold it.
"Jin Shen will retreat if he does not fight, and he will be disposed of by military law. But if you fight hard with the scalp, it is no different from the death ..."
"How many soldiers do he have?"
"More than 40,000. 10,000 cavalry, 30,000 infantry."
40,000! A total of 40,000 lives.
Shangguan Wan Ning's heart could not help but tremble.
Zhizhou Liu Xian gave up so easily.
Her fist was tight, and her heart was upset, but soon, she forced herself to calm down.
"Brother Huo, let's go to Golden Beach to see."
Huo Gang was a little hesitant. After all, the situation there was tense, and the war was about to start.
However, after a period of time, he also had a little understanding of Shang Guan Wan Ning's personality, so he had to convene four dark guards with high martial arts and escorted her to the Golden Beach.
Jin Ruhong was so scorched that he had no joy when he saw Shangguan Wan Ning.
"Junzhu, what are you doing? In case you have lost, you have no face to see Hou Ye when you are dead."
Shangguan Wan Ning smiled, and said softly: "It was what I asked you to lead his soldiers. Now there are difficulties, of course I have to face it with you."
Jin Ruhong's heart was a little grateful, and he sighed and looked at Shangguan Wanning.
"The county owner has been determined enough. The county master, the place is dangerous, you should go back soon."
Shangguan Wan Ning didn't care about it, and asked: "Jin Shen, who is the other party who led his soldiers?"
Jin Ruhong suddenly punched on the table with a fierce punch, and the water in the cup splashed out.
"The Turk's gang birds look down on me too much, and even send a woman to deal with me."
"woman?"
"Yes, it is Turkic Khan's little daughter, Brother Shu Yan."
"Still a princess?" A pale face appeared in Shangguan Wan Ning's mind. "Jin Shen General, how many daughters have Turkic Khan?"
"He has four sons, and one daughter is one."
"Is it really so coincident?"
Shangguan Wan Ning smiled lightly and said, "Jin Shen General, take a good rest tonight, other things, give me to do it."
"County Lord, You ..."
"Believe me."
Shangguan Wan Ning took Huo Gang out of his military account and patted his shoulder. "Brother Huo, I want to do a dangerous thing, I need you to help. But ... involved in the safety of life, you can refuse.
"
"A girl's house dares to go, what I dare not. Besides, my purpose is to protect you.
"Thank you Brother Huo. If we are lucky this time, in the future, I will share it with you whether poverty and wealth."
Huo Gang laughed by the open -mindedness of this little girl in front of him.
"Then, where are we going now?"
"Come with me."
Shangguan Wan Ning turned over the horse and took Huo Gang for galloping.
When the destination is, the sky is white, and the sun is rising.
Huo Gang looked at the large foreign team in front of him, and his eyes widened in surprise. He couldn't believe it.
