In the military camp, Jiang Zhe was busy with all the backlog of official duties. Recently, the Xixia people had attacked many times. Several small towns in the surrounding area were burned and looted by them, causing heavy losses to the people.
Yuan Lang sent several groups of men to support him, but the Xixia army was cunning and came and went without a trace in this snowy day. Their men were defeated every time.
"General, my subordinates heard that Tuoba Mingge is in charge of the Xixia Army. You made him suffer such a big loss last time. According to his nature, he will never let it go."
Tuoba Mingge is a vengeful man. Jiang Zhe injured one of his arms and killed many of his cronies. When Tuoba Mingge comes back, he will definitely take revenge.
"Well, the military camp is under martial law. Let your subordinates be more alert and don't let the Xixia people take advantage of it."
Yuan Lang nodded, "I understand."
Jiang Zhe looked cold and solemn, thinking about Tuoba Mingge's methods. He tapped the table with his fingers and spoke in a deep voice.
"Send a team of people to Huquan Temple right away. Don't let anyone disturb the lady."
After all, Jiang Ru was his daughter, and Jiang Zhe couldn't ignore her. Tuoba Mingge couldn't touch her, and he might cause trouble for others.
After these few months, Jiang Zhe's anger has almost subsided. When Sannu's child is born, he will prepare to have Jiang Ru taken home.
She is already eighteen years old, and it's time to find her husband's family. When she gets married, her husband's family will take care of her, so Jiang Zhe doesn't have to worry about her anymore.
Jiang Ru's temperament married into an ordinary family, and her husband's family might not be able to suppress her. Jiang Zhe looked at Yuan Lang in front of him. This lieutenant was young, but he was very talented, and he was his right-hand man.
Jiang Zhe's eyes looked him over, and Yuan Lang was frightened. What did the father-in-law mean when he looked at his son-in-law?
"General...general?"
He couldn't figure out Jiang Zhe's idea, so he simply asked directly.
"Ahem, is Vice General Yuan married?"
"If I get back to the general, you know that my subordinates have been at the border all the time. There is no guarantee that my life will be over one day while licking blood on the tip of a knife. How can any young lady be willing to marry and be a widow?"
Hearing Jiang Zhe ask him about his marriage, Yuan Lang was filled with bitterness. He was about to turn 20, and he didn't even get a wife. His parents were urging him, but it was useless if he couldn't find someone he liked.
The little girl in the family is so delicate that she will not suffer the consequences of marrying into her family.
Jiang Zhe had been in the army for half his life, so he naturally understood his suffering.
But since Yuan Lang is not married, his plan can come true.
"Well, you have to handle the affairs of Huquan Temple yourself. You have brought people to guard the place a few years ago. You must ensure my wife's safety."
This lieutenant is reliable. Ru'er may be able to like him after spending some time with him. Jiang Zhe never thought that he would one day be a matchmaker, so he would be a matchmaker for his own daughter. If he told it, he would probably be shocked.
Everyone's chin.
However, that rebellious woman brought him many troubles. No one except his subordinates would be willing to marry her.
"yes!"
Jiang Zhe's topic changed so quickly that Yuan Lang didn't react for a moment. He thought he was being disliked by the general for complaining, so he had to shut up obediently and follow the order to go out.
Being ordered to protect the eldest lady is an important matter, and he will not neglect it.
As soon as Yuan Lang left, the messenger from Jiang Mansion arrived.
When Jiang Zhe heard that Sannu was suffering from poison and had difficulty in giving birth, Jiang Zhe stood up suddenly.
"What's going on?"
He was fine when he left home, but just a few days later, Sannu fell and gave birth prematurely, and now even the poison in his body has taken effect.
Jiang Zhe couldn't see anyone, so he felt very anxious. He had been waiting for this child for many years, but nothing could happen to him.
The guard trembled and explained the matter briefly in response to his anger.
"It was a white cat that suddenly jumped out of the yard and frightened Master Sang."
As for the poisonous hair incident, the guard didn't know. He only knew that Sang Nu's life was in danger now and he was waiting for Jiang Zhe to go back and make a decision.
"Prepare your horses and return home!"
Jiang Zhe's face was gloomy, he took the cloak on the chair, put it on and walked out. His steps were so long and fast that the guards almost couldn't keep up.
The red-maned horse was already waiting outside the camp. Before Jiang Zhe could get on the horse, there was a sudden commotion outside the military camp. The soldiers came out of the camp with swords in hand. There were flames outside and shouts everywhere.
Guo Zhao was in charge of the security today. He was patrolling outside with his soldiers when he was suddenly attacked by the Xixia people.
The war was about to break out, and before they could react, the enemy troops had already attacked.
"General, the enemy has invaded and the Xixia people are coming!"
"Report! General, the food and grass were burned, and all our people were killed by the enemy."
This was a sign of preparedness and caught them off guard.
The temperament of Sannu and the child was at stake, and the enemy troops in the military camp were eyeing him. Jiang Zhe was in a dilemma, and his eyes were red with hatred for a while.
He had to suspect that Tuoba Mingge deliberately took advantage of this time to attack.
The snow outside was deep, and the Xixia people were sliding down the mountain. They were stronger and stronger than the Yan army. They had been used to seeing snow since childhood, so skiing was a piece of cake for them.
In the eyes of the Yan army, the bad weather became their advantage. With the cover of the wind and snow, the enemy troops quietly surrounded the military camps of the Great Yan Dynasty.
Although not many Xixia people came, they were all cunning and did not dare to forcefully set fires everywhere. The military camp was in chaos, which gave them an opportunity to take advantage of.
Yuan Lang has already left with his men, and Jiang Zhe's most capable subordinate is not here. He cannot delegate his power to others and is completely unable to escape.
Jiang Zhe looked at Guo Zhao who came to report and gave instructions directly.
"Lead people to guard the other granary. The enemy will come prepared. You must guard the grain and grass."
The army was already short of food, and Xixia's move was to drain the firepower. Without food and grass, the Yan army could only wait to die. Jiang Zhe had never taken Tuoba Mingge seriously before, but this kid taught him a serious lesson.
Guo Zhao was just a centurion. When he saw Jiang Zhe for the first time, he was assigned such a big task. He was not afraid of danger, and the more dangerous the moment, the calmer he became.
"Yes, I will take your orders!"
Jiang Zhegao took a look at this appearance, but Guo Zhao didn't even know that he had fallen into Shangfeng's eyes.
The enemy invaded, and Jiang Zhe could not return home. He stared at the fire in the sky with the intention of killing.
Tuoba Mingge took this opportunity to attack. It was such a coincidence that Jiang Zhe couldn't help but think about it.
Sannu's drug-induced dystocia and the invasion of enemy troops seemed to be unrelated things, but he always felt that they were inextricably intertwined.
"You take advantage of the chaos and go out. Master Ruosang is still alive. Tell Jiang Yue to keep him safe!"
His low voice was heard amidst the sounds of fighting. The guards felt cold and couldn't help but shudder.
"yes."
They all saw how the master doted on Sang Nu, and everyone secretly speculated whether Master Sang was going to surpass Aunt Zhao and take the position. However, it was not until the critical moment that they realized that the master's favor was not worth mentioning at all.
