On the ninth day of the first month of May, the marshal Wang Keming returned from the front line and went directly to the palace to face the saint, and Jiang Anyi keenly noticed that the atmosphere in Zhenbei City suddenly became tense. In the next few days, generals including Miao, Qi, Zhu, Pang, and Zhang frequently entered and exited the palace, and the palace was heavily guarded with three steps, one sentry, five steps and one post. Guessing that the war is about to happen, Jiang Anyi's heart is itching, come to the Northern Desert, who doesn't want to make meritorious contributions with a prancing horse and a spear, and the fame is only taken from the horse, which is better than recording other people's achievements here.

On 13 May, Jiang Anyi finally saw the Son of Heaven and immediately asked Shi Fangzhen for battle, hoping to go to the front line to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. Shi Fangzhen said with a smile: "Jiang Qing's courage is commendable, but there are many brave generals on the battlefield, but I can't leave the army to participate in the council." When the soldiers set the royal court in the north, Jiang Qing went to the Moren royal court with me, and revisited the old place, Jiang Qing could prepare a few good poems to congratulate. ”

King Luo Huai, who was accompanying the Son of Heaven, muttered: "Father, if you don't let me go to the front line to kill the enemy, just let me learn something from Lord Jiang, I am most familiar with Lord Jiang in this Manchu Dynasty." ”

In this personal expedition, the crown prince supervised the country, the king of Chu'an was the ruler, and Shi Fangzhen took King Luohuai with him. People are so strange, they feel awkward when they don't like what they do, and they feel good when they look good, Shi Chongren is reckless, less calm than his two elder brothers, but in Shi Fangzhen's eyes, he is straightforward and unpretentious, coupled with the easing of the relationship with Liu Guifei, the Son of Heaven, who is getting older and tired of court battles, naturally feels comfortable when he sees King Luo Huai, and has a bit of family fun of ordinary fathers and sons.

Hearing his son's pleading, Shi Fangzhen thought for a moment and said: "I am happy that you have the heart to be motivated, Jiang Qing has only learned people, and you can learn something from him that will be beneficial to you in the future, and I will allow it." ”

King Luo Huai cheered, Jiang Anyi secretly complained, and went to Jiangzhou to check Guantian, Shi Chongren did not cause much trouble, and this master is not a fuel-efficient lamp. The third son of the Son of Heaven, the prince originally had a good relationship with Jiang Anyi, but after Jiang Anyi entered Beijing, he encountered a lot of things one after another, coupled with Cheng Mingdao's fanning of the flames, the prince and Jiang Anyi had a secret disagreement, and Jiang Anyi was also quite unaccustomed to the actions of this prince, and he hated each other, and gradually drifted away. As for King Chu'an, he is the opponent, and he has been targeted many times in the court, and this King Luohuai has a close relationship with him.

In any case, the Son of Heaven was willing to let his son follow him because of his family's importance, and Jiang Anyi had to take the happy King Luo Huai to the official office-Senate. The Senate Office was set up after the Son of Heaven came, just on the left front side of the palace, a few small houses across the courtyard, Jiang Anyi led a dozen or so army staff officers to analyze the battle report, and summarized it into a document as a historical material.

Shi Chongren picked up the manuscript that had been sorted out on the table and flipped through it, "On May 15, Zheng Shi advanced in five directions, 400,000 troops of the third route army forced into the Kunbo camp in the center, and 200,000 troops of the second route army stayed on the left to contain the Liman camp; At the end of the afternoon, Wang Keming led the three-way army to engage with Kunbo, and when the battle reached Shen, Kunbo retreated to the camp, and he could not defend it, and Zheng Shi rushed to the camp several times and was blocked outside the village. ”

"Lord Jiang, didn't you say that Kunbo is a belligerent person, how could he cower in the village and not be beaten?" Shi Chongren was a little puzzled.

Jiang Anyi said: "Our army is good at defending, and the indifferent people are good at attacking, and the current offensive and defensive mutations are a good thing for our army, but we must prevent the indifferent people from robbing the village." Lord Wang, you continue to look down, and there will be several times in the next two days

launched a surprise attack, and Shen Guogong coped with it properly, so he didn't let the indifferent people succeed. ”

"Did yesterday's battle report arrive?" Shi Chongren put the manuscript back on the table and asked: "If the desert people want to compete with us for manpower and material resources, it is asking for hardship, if this king will give up the camp, break it into pieces, and play hide and seek on the grassland with our army, this is the most difficult thing to do." ”

Jiang Anyi was silent, even the fifteen-year-old boy Lang could see the mystery in it, and it was impossible for the desert people not to find out about this, but Kunbo didn't know what to do if he didn't retreat, it seemed that the battle on the front line was unpredictable, and Shen Guogong, as the commander of the three armies, should be more careful.

Before noon, the Son of Heaven summoned Jiang Anyi to discuss the affairs in the hall, and Shi Chongren jumped up and said: "It should be the war report, and my father is rehearsing the war on the sand table, I like it the most." Master Jiang, let's go. ”

In the side hall, a group of people are surrounding the sand table, the Son of Heaven Shi Fangzhen has a serious face, the left minister Kong Province, the military department Shangshu Ding Dawei and others do not look good, several craftsmen are quickly changing the sand table under the finger of Chen Xupeng, the general of the Taiwei Mansion and Huaihua, and Zhu Zhipu, the general of the Taiwei Mansion and the general of Huaihua, is explaining the battle situation to the Son of Heaven, and the generals and generals standing by the sand table have their faces strained and do not smile.

Jiang Anyi's heart moved, could it be some unfavorable news from the front line, King Luo Huai squeezed into the crowd, Jiang Anyi followed closely behind him, and looked at the sand table. The sand table was developed by his hand, Jiang Anyi is naturally familiar with the layout of the sand table, the black wooden block represents the desert army, and the yellow one is Zheng Shi, which is about 100 miles away from the battlefield in the north of the town.

Ding Dawei took the battle report in his hand and explained: "Shen Guogong sent a war report, the night before the Kunbo Department sent a master to sneak into the camp to try to set fire to the grain, and was found by the patrol of the military intelligence department to cause a scuffle, the desert cavalry broke through the left village Qi Xinwen Department, Qi Shuai forced the desert cavalry to retreat with a winch crossbow salvo, and took the opportunity to lead the crowd to cover up the killing, but was unexpectedly assassinated by the desert master, and the horse was injured and returned to the camp. After dawn, Mo Cai attacked outside the camp with a small number of light horses, and secretly moved most of them to the left, and attacked with the two parts of Liman, Zhang Yuanguan and Pang Qingzhong hurriedly responded to the battle and suffered a small loss. After receiving the request for help, Shen Guogong immediately asked Miao Tieshan and Zhu Jinfeng to lead an army of 200,000 to rescue, which is still at war. ”

The sand table has been set up, Chen Xupeng is holding a bamboo cane to instruct, the battle report is too simple, can only be speculated, and the generals on both sides make remarks from time to time. Jiang Anyi was not qualified to interject, he listened carefully with his ears sideways, the generals' words were optimistic, the face of the Son of Heaven was tense, there was the battle of Miao Tieshan when he first came, Shi Fang really knew that the battlefield was changing rapidly, and fighting with Moqi in the grassland did not have the upper hand.

The detective reports kept coming, Shi Fangzhen's face became more and more gloomy, the melee between the two armies was inseparable, Wang Keming and Qi Xinwen led the rear 200,000 to kill into the battlefield, and the desert people began to retreat. At the right time, Wang Keming sent the final battle report, the two armies had ceased fighting, the Zheng army returned to the division station, and the desert people fled, and the preliminary statistics showed that the battle losses of the two sides were about the same.

Shi Fangzhen breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone was able to get out. Jiang Anyi stood in the side hall for four hours, tired and hungry, and returned to his residence to eat and then breathe and sleep. The Shuai's mansion was heavily guarded, so there was no need to worry about the assassins coming, but Huang Zhu and the others still arranged two people to be on duty according to custom.

At the end of the next day, Jiang Anyi felt that the voice of the Shuai Mansion was noisy, and he knew something was wrong, so he got up and asked. Huang Zhu, the personal guard, came in and said: "Last night, the desert cavalry attacked the camp, and Shen Guogong sent someone to send a battle report, long live to summon the generals to discuss the matter. "Shuaifu

There are many high-ranking generals who live with the army, no wonder the chickens fly and the dogs jump.

Jiang Anyi was not qualified to participate in the proceedings, so he came to the Senate after breakfast and waited for news, and it didn't take long for King Luo Huai to come with a mysterious face. Without waiting for Jiang Anyi to ask, Shi Chongren said in a low voice: "Lord Jiang, do you know about the desert attack on the camp last night?" I originally wanted to listen to it in the side hall, but when I stood in the courtyard, I heard my father's angry roar, and I was so frightened that I didn't dare to go in. ”

The Son of Heaven was furious, and he couldn't ask the great losses caused by the attack on the camp, and the people in the entire north of the town were panicking, from the Son of Heaven to the ordinary soldiers, who were anxiously waiting for accurate news. It was not until the sun set in the west that the news from the front arrived, and more than half an hour later, the war report reached the Senate.

The battle report was presented by King Keming, the Duke of Shenguo, "Long live the Emperor Keming: At the beginning of last night, the desert people were divided into dozens of agitation and attacked the camp, harassing them until the end of the son. At the beginning of Yin, the desert master secretly opened the camp of the Zhu Jinfeng Department, the black wolf rode and the blue wolf rode as the vanguard, the desert people rushed to the camp, the Zhu Jinfeng Department was defeated, and the ministers ordered Miao Tieshan, Zhang Yuanguan, and Pang Qingzhong to lead the troops to rescue the shake, and the ministers and Qi Xinwen led more than 100,000 people under their command to counterattack the desert village where Kunbo was located, and broke it. ”

Jiang Anyi slapped the table, roared "Okay", and then looked down, "After the minister broke the desert village, he set fire to the village, and the desert cavalry saw that his camp was on fire and fought back, and the ministers were ready to disperse the desert people with crossbows and bows and arrows several times, and the minister's department was firmly guarded in front of the desert village. At dawn, Miao Tieshan and others led the army and the ministers to surround the desert cavalry, and the desert army retreated on all fronts. More than 30,000 Moqi were killed in this battle, including about 4,000 of the Black Wolf Army and the Blue Wolf Army, and the specific results are still being counted. ”

"Okay, good fight", Jiang An couldn't help but stand up, saw the counselors on both sides looking at him in surprise, and hurriedly smiled: "Zhugong, the front line is a big victory, and Shen Guogong led the army to break the desert." ”

The cheers spread quickly in Mobei City, and Shi Chongren broke in with a happy face, and said to Jiang Anyi: "Father's palace gives a banquet, please go to the banquet." ”

The hall was brightly lit, laughter and laughter continued, there were no singing and dancing in the army, and no alcohol was allowed, and the candles reflected everyone's faces red, as if drunk. Shi Fangzhen laughed and said: "This battle is enough to make the desert people fearful, I want to reward the meritorious soldiers on the front line, if the soldiers can calm the northern desert in one go, I will not be ashamed of the reward, it is also possible to divide the territory, the desert is big enough, enough to reward the Zhuqing." ”

The words of the Son of Heaven ignited the atmosphere of the banquet to the extreme, it is difficult for Zheng Guo to be knighted, the marquis is only rewarding ten thousand households, and the area of Mobei is larger than the territory of Zheng Guo, if it can be divided into meritorious soldiers, it can also be divided into a range of 100 miles casually. There are many children of families who have the ability to grab a large amount of land, and they have family funding, so they can operate with peace of mind for decades, and it is possible for them to become vassals.

Three days later, the Son of Heaven drove to the front line to reward the three armies, distribute money and food, and Zheng Jun was immersed in a carnival. Three hundred miles away, the defeated Moqi gathered men and horses, and only less than 160,000 of the 200,000 people under Kunbo's command remained, and the black wolf cavalry lost more than 2,600 people.

The tent materials were burned by the Zheng army, the morale of the Kunbo tribe was low, and the loss of this battle was far less than his.
