Li Ji was a fourth-grade general and commanded the Jiaodong Army. There were thirteen garrisons like this in the Jin Dynasty. Li Ji, who was in his thirties, was loyal, strong in martial arts, and good at leading troops. He was the best among the younger generation of generals.
.
If Li Ji died in the leg of a bandit in the Ming Dynasty, even Emperor Yongming felt sad and heartbroken. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were extremely angry, and military generals asked for tassels one after another, begging to go to Qingzhou to kill Zhou Sui.
Xu Jing took two steps forward and crossed his legs to invite the battle: "The emperor is here, I will ride a fast horse to Qingzhou, cut off the heads of Zhou Sui and bring them back to the capital. I would like to issue a military order!"
The prince frowned and stepped forward, slightly hiding the impassioned Xu Jing behind him: "Father, the new army has just been established and has not yet become an army. Although cousin Jing is sincere and loyal, it is not appropriate to go to Qingzhou."
Emperor Yongming had no such plan at first, so he nodded and said, "What the prince said makes sense. The troops led by Marquis Zhongyong have gone to Qingzhou, and I have told Marquis Zhongyong that I must bring back Zhou Sui's head."
The prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After he retired from the court, the prince winked at Xu Jing, and Xu Jing obediently followed the prince back to the East Palace for training.
As expected, after entering the study, the prince had a serious face: "When did my impulsive temper completely change?"
"Can I just shut up in the Jinluan Palace? Can I issue a military order casually? What if my father, Mingyue, agrees and lets me go to Qingzhou?"
Xu Jing raised his eyebrows: "Then he will kill Zhou Sui and come back anytime!"
The prince glared at him angrily: "That Zhou Sui is a giant bandit in Qingzhou. Murong Shen led the imperial guards to suppress the bandits, but they couldn't kill Zhou Sui. Now even Li Ji died in Zhou Sui's legs. It can be seen that Zhou Sui was killed."
Sui is so powerful. I opened my mouth to beg Zhou Sui to be killed, what a big statement!"
"The son of a rich man will never be brought down to the throne. I don't understand such a simple truth. How can the dignified prince of Beihai compete with a bandit? There are many military generals in the court. After Li Ji died, they were very good. Marquis Zhongyong
I have already led the troops to Qingzhou. Why should I take action to kill Zhou Sui?"
Xu Jing was silent for a moment and then said: "He and Zhou Sui once had sex with each other. That time, Zhou Sui escaped from his legs. He had sworn at that time that he would kill Zhou Sui himself in this life."
The prince said calmly: "Just kill Zhou Sui. It doesn't matter whoever does it. You don't have to take the risk yourself."
"Chunsheng, please remember that I am not the prince of Beihai, the commander of the new army, or his brother. I have a newly married wife at home, and a child who will be born in a few months. My life is precious.
Very, you cannot fight with a bandit."
Mentioning Zhao Xiyan, Xu Jing's cold and unruly face suddenly softened a lot, and he was finally willing to lower his head and admit his mistake: "My cousin said that, tomorrow he will be too impulsive."
The prince raised his lips, smiled and patted Xu Jing's shoulder: "When I have free time, I will go back to the palace to spend time with my younger siblings. By the way, have my younger siblings been suffering from severe morning sickness recently?"
Xu Jing Wu is still begging for vomiting five or six times every month."
The prince thought for a moment and said, "I took a doctor with superb medical skills to the palace to take care of my younger siblings. He told his mother about that."
Xu Jing was overjoyed and even went to cross his legs to feed the prince.
…
"To inform the Crown Princess, the Crown Prince has returned to his home."
The hosta came to report with a smile, and added in a low voice: "The prince has brought back the imperial physician of Wei Yuanzhong."
Zhao Xiyan hummed and lay lazily on the bed without getting up. During that half month, she suffered from severe morning sickness and was tortured a lot. She had vomited just now and now her whole body was weak.
Xu Jing strode into the dormitory, walked to the bed, stretched out his legs and touched Zhao Xiyan's slightly slimmer face, feeling heartbroken: "Sister Yue Ya'er, thank you for your hard work."
After becoming pregnant, Zhao Xiyan became more sensitive and squeamish. She put her face into his palm and said aggrievedly: "He just vomited. The child in his belly is not honest at all. He has been tormenting him for the whole month."
Xu Jing immediately said: "When the child is born, he will teach me a lesson first and let me vent my anger."
Zhao Xiyan couldn't bear it anymore: "That won't work. He has to move his legs to beg for a beating. I'm not allowed to beat his child."
Xu Jing obeyed: "Okay, listen to me."
The young couple laughed and said silly things for a while, and then got down to business: "General Li died in battle. Did the court make any mistakes?"
Xu Jing told what happened in Mingyue Dynasty.
Zhao Xiyan got up from the bed, looked at Xu Jing and said: "Brother Chunsheng, what the prince said makes sense. I really need to change my impulsive temper. In case the emperor really agrees with my petition.
, let me establish the Eastern Army Order. If Zhou Sui cannot be killed, I will ask for military punishment."
"Zhou Sui's life is worth not even a hair on my head. It doesn't matter when he dies. In short, nothing will happen to me."
Xu Jing touched his nose and coughed: "He will change it later."
Only then did Zhao Xiyan smile: "I agreed to him, and he remembered it well."
In front of a cruel person, even if you make a lot of steel, you can turn into a gentle person.
Xu Jing grinned, hugged Zhao Xiyan into his arms, and whispered in her ear: "Beihai County is safe and sound. He and I can breathe a sigh of relief now. Don't think about anything, Yandong is the most demanding person."
Take good care of your baby.”
If that's the case, how can Zhao Xiyan feel at ease if she hasn't received any news from Zhao Yuanming in January?
Zhao Xiyan responded softly.
Xu Jing knew what Zhao Xiyan was worried about and comforted him softly: "There has been no news about my father-in-law and the others. It can be seen that as they expected before, they must have found a place to hide. Maybe they have returned to Beihai County now, and the person who sent the letter is here
There's a way, so I don't have to worry."
If you are pregnant, you really shouldn't worry about it all month long.
Zhao Xiyan cheered up and said, "He's a little hungry."
Xu Jing immediately smiled and said: "He will ask the kitchen to make the most delicious silver noodles for me."
…
Qingzhou, Beihai County.
The bandits were repulsed, and the Beihai County garrison suffered heavy casualties. Nearly half of the palace's 1,000 soldiers were also lost. More than 600 of the 4,000 men recruited died.
In Beihai County, more than 600 households hung up red flags, which was quite miserable.
In the palace of Beihai King, Beihai King's face showed no joy and looked solemn.
General Zheng and Commander Xie both came, each walking at the east end of Beihai King. Both of them were in a gloomy mood and looked bad.
"Your Majesty," General Zheng was the first to break the silence: "The bad news of General Li's death in battle has been sent to the court. I wonder how angry the court will be!"
The King of Beihai sighed: "There is no such thing as immortality in a battle. Maybe Li Ji was unlucky and was ambushed while chasing the bandits."
Zhou Sui suddenly rose up and beheaded Li Ji. The morale of the Jiaodong army was shattered. They were clearly superior in numbers, but they were killed in pieces.
Zhou Sui led the remaining one thousand people and continued to flee.
Li Xiao was shocked to hear the bad news that his brother had died in battle. Buqin's back injury had not healed, so he led the remaining Jiaodong Army to pursue Zhou Sui.
