Chapter 411: Ghosts

The emperor's will to Shen Leng was to go to the sword garrison in Eastern Xinjiang in July at the latest.

On the first day of the first month of March, Shen Leng left the port of Kuohai County with eleven warships and 2,400 soldiers and sailed into the vast sea...... I want to cross the sea with a reed.

It seems to be awesome.

On the ninth day of the first month of March, a county along the coast of the sea frontier in the north of the country was broken by the Daning soldiers, and the unsuspecting city gate of the people was killed by the soldiers before they had time to close, before that, there were more than 100 soldiers disguised into the county, and when the city was attacked, the city was attacked from the city to meet the army to enter the city, and more than 500 soldiers were slaughtered, and the treasury was looted.

On March 13, the soldiers suddenly appeared in the country, burned two docks, burned down a granary, and flew away.

On 15 March, the fleet of the Daning Navy Division intercepted a fleet of ships that were transporting food and supplies to southern Xinjiang, stole some of the supplies, and burned the entire fleet, killing all the people in the fleet.

On March 20, Shen Leng and his men appeared three hundred and sixty miles away from the place where they had last appeared, destroyed a reservoir, and the water plummeted down, engulfing a county seat.

On March 22, Daning's warships came to the land of Qiuli for 400 miles, expelled the people of several villages, burned down the houses, and burned down the granaries.

On March 29, a caravan escorted by seven or eight warships went overseas in an attempt to open a trade route with a certain country in the East China Sea and establish a new alliance.

Emperor Qiu Liguo was furious and is said to have killed several people on the spot.

Didn't you hijack my Daning's convoy? If one of the merchant ships and cargo ships you ask for comes out, I will kill one.

The entire Qiuli Northern Frontier can still assemble all the warships gathered in one place, and Ruan Qingfeng could not be found, and Ruan Ye, the newly appointed general of the naval division of Qiuli Emperor Ruan Tengyuan, rushed from the capital urgently, Ruan Tengyuan only gave him a month, and if the Ning army team with only eleven warships could not be found and destroyed within a month, then his head would be cut off.

Ruan Ye felt how innocent he was, the general Ruan Qingfeng did not know where to go, and after the defeat of the sneak attack on the boat port of Kuohai County, Ningguo, there was no news and no trace, and later some people said that he actually ran to form an alliance with the big pirate Sea Float, which simply lost the face of the Qiu Liren.

As a result, this mess actually came into his hands, and Ruan Ye couldn't wait to scold Ruan Qingfeng's ancestors for eighteen generations.

The assembled or so 200 warships began a carpet search, searching all the way along the waters of Qiuli's northern frontier, but there was not a single news about the Ning people.

The fifth day of April.

In the capital of Qiu Liguo, Emperor Ruan Tengyuan was almost stunned by a news just sent, and the entire hall could not contain his anger.

On the third night of the first month of April, the Ning army, which had lost its trace for many days, suddenly appeared less than five hundred miles away from the capital of Qiuli, did not take a boat, but marched on land day and night, rushed into the palace manor of Ruan Tengyuan's younger brother Qiuli Prince Ruan Tengge, killed hundreds of people up and down the palace in one go, and hung the head of Prince Ruan Tengge at the gate of the palace, and then the ghostly Ning army disappeared again.

Qiuli Northern Xinjiang Sailor was disabled, Ruan Qingfeng with the remaining more than 20,000 people has no news, the door of Northern Xinjiang is wide open, and the two hundred boats that have been put together are still looking for traces of Ning people in the vast sea, but they are killing people in Qiuli and directly cutting off the head of a prince!

"A team of more than 2,000 people, eleven ships."

Ruan Tengyuan stood on the main hall and kicked over the long case in front of him with one kick: "One month and six days!" ”

His eyes swept over the hall, and all the courtiers knelt down, not even daring to come out.

"Traveling back and forth for thousands of miles in my rivers and mountains, no one can stop and no one can know!"

Ruan Tengyuan took a deep breath: "What use do I want you to have?" Three county seats, two granaries, seven fleets, more than a dozen docks, dozens of villages, those Ning people are like devils who are reckless in the land of my mountains and rivers, and they also killed my own brother! ”

He went down from the high platform and grabbed the placket of Guo Lin, the general of the forbidden army: "But you are just pretending to be deaf and dumb in front of me? Don't you feel ashamed that a team of more than 2,000 people is running rampant in my home? I'm ashamed! The Ning people have a saying, don't trip on a stone twice, how many times have you tripped on this Ning Ren general named Shen Leng? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, an attendant outside the hall hurriedly ran in, because he ran too eagerly, the threshold of the hall tripped him and almost fell, and he stumbled into the hall and knelt down: "Your Majesty...... Out, something happened, King Wuyang, King Wuyang was killed. ”

King Wuyang, another younger brother of Ruan Tengge.

"Four hundred miles!"

Ruan Tengyuan's eyes suddenly turned blood-red, like a beast that was about to devour everyone at any time.

There are four hundred miles from the palace manor of Prince Ruan Tengge to the palace residence of another prince, King Ruan Tenglin of Wuyang, and it took two days for the Ning people to arrive, two days and two nights without sleep, slaughtering another prince, and hanging the prince's head at the gate of the palace.

Don't trip over the same stone twice?

"I felt like I was being held down and slapped one after another."

Ruan Tengyuan suddenly fell into decadence, and he vented in one breath, and everyone looked a little lost and depressed.

"I don't know if your face hurts, I don't know if you feel ashamed, I've had enough...... Whoever is willing to find out the Zhining army, find out the Ning man named Shen Leng, and kill them, I will make him a general, the Marquis of Wanhu. ”

"I want to go!"

A young general stood up and bowed his head with his fists clenched: "Your Majesty, please give you 5,000 elite soldiers, if you don't turn these Ning people out within half a month, the minister will come to see you." ”

"I'll give you 5,000 soldiers!"

Ruan Tengyuan looked at the young man and finally felt a little relieved, this young man's name is Ruan Yuan, he is his nephew, although his father is not Ruan Tengyuan's brother-in-law, but he is also a royal bloodline, this Ruan Yuan is young and famous, he became famous at the age of twelve, and the whole country knows that there is a genius boy who pulls two stone bows at the age of twelve, and pulls three stone bows at the age of fifteen.

Everyone is sure that if he is given a few more years, he will be the future general of Qiu Li, and he will even surpass Ruan Qingfeng's achievements.

Ruan also thinks highly of himself, and in his opinion, there is no young man in Qiu Li who can compare with him.

"You should know how much I trust you in the five thousand elite soldiers I can hand over to you at this moment."

Emperor Ruan Tengyuan glanced at Ruan Rate...... Now the war in southern Xinjiang is tight, almost all the soldiers of the whole country are transferred there, the offensive of the Ning people is like the tide of the sea, wave after wave, from the beginning of the war to the present, more than a quarter of the place has been occupied by the Ning people, the Ning people's style of play this time is not the same, the occupied places were looted by them, it seems that there is no intention to raise land and support the people, where the Ning army is broken, the treasury is emptied, the granary is transported, the Ning people are unprecedentedly fierce and ruthless, so that the country of Qiu Li is a wail.

There have been many courtiers who advocate peace, and scolded Ruan Qingfeng for not provoking the Ning people back then.

"The minister knows!"

Ruan Shu knelt on the ground: "The minister takes the head on the neck as a military order, if he doesn't kill Shen Leng of the Ning people, and don't talk about the two thousand Ning people's broken corpses, the minister's head will be cut off by himself." ”

"I know you're young, but you can't be underestimated."

Ruan Tengyuan stretched out his hand to help Ruan Yu up: "I heard that this Ningren general named Shen Leng is the first in the competition of the Ningguo armies, and he is the best young general in Ningguo, if you kill him, he will definitely become famous in the world, and he will also inspire the soldiers who are still desperately resisting the enemy in southern Xinjiang. ”

"Obey."

Ruan Shu stood up: "The minister will leave now." ”

"I'll give you another hundred guards to be your own soldiers."

Ruan Tengyuan said: "I will not only give you fifteen days, I will give you a month, within a month, you will bring back the head of Ning Ren Shen Leng, and I will crown you as a general." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ruan was in high spirits and turned to leave the main hall.

Ruan Tengyuan was still angry and irritable in his heart, yesterday he received the news that Ning Ren killed one of his own brothers, and today he received the news that he was killed another brother, although he also killed his own siblings in order to compete for the throne, even those brothers who are still there today are just trembling and dying, but it is still the prince who seeks to be established, and it is his brother.

On the southern Xinjiang side, Ning Jun's unprecedented fighting style made him tremble, but he was the emperor, and no matter how frightened he was, he couldn't show it.

A few years ago, when Ruan Qingfeng was rampant in Beihai, these courtiers praised him to the sky one by one, saying that in a few days, the general would be able to lead his troops to the north to destroy Ningguo and turn Chang'an into a town to seek establishment...... And now? These people began to scold Ruan Qingfeng.

"I don't want any more bad news."

Ruan Tengyuan waved his hand: "Let's go, I want to be quiet." ”

Open Gate Island.

Although Ruan Qingfeng has not returned to the country for a long time, he always pays attention to the domestic moves, and he will not go, because he knows that with His Majesty's temperament, as long as he goes back, he will definitely die, no matter how many merits he has made and how many wars he has won, as long as he loses this time, His Majesty will not tolerate him.

The only way to survive is to make a comeback and defeat the Ningren Water Master, and when he goes back, His Majesty will naturally not pick his head again.

However, just today he got the news that the Ning general named Shen Leng, whom he had always wanted to slaughter with his own hands, actually led a Ning army to kill in the country, and a surging sense of humiliation made him clench the long knife at his waist.

"I'm going back."

Ruan Qingfeng looked at Haifutu, who was standing not far away: "I know that you didn't plan to really form an alliance with me from the beginning, and I don't look down on you as a pirate at all in my heart, but I have no one to trust at this time...... If I die at the hands of Shen Leng, I hope you can avenge me. ”

Haifutu looked at him: "I am not a seeker. ”

Ruan Qingfeng smiled bitterly and took his men to board the ship and leave.

April 13, fine.

Emperor Ruan Tengyuan, who had just gotten up, pushed open the window and took a breath of fresh morning air, and before he could take this breath, he saw two chamberlains supporting a bloodied lieutenant stumbling in.

The lieutenant saw the emperor standing at the window and knelt down with a thud, his head on the ground: "General Ruan...... Beheaded. ”

As he spoke, he trembled, as if he had lost his soul from the ghost.

He may never forget that devil in his life, the young Ningren general grabbed Ruan Shu's hair with one hand and cut off the human head with a knife in the other: "You said that you made a military order with your own head, and if you can't kill me, you cut off your own head?" But you can cut your head if you want? I want to cut it, you want to, no. ”
