Chapter 74
: Sending troops to Shuobei, (young couple about to meet version)
Lu Tao: "If we don't have enough food and grass, we can mobilize it from the two large granaries in the southeast. If we don't have enough reinforcements, we can rush in from the imperial city. Soldiers and horses will come from the five major camps on the outskirts of Beijing, the Potian Army, and the Yulin Guard." Zhenbeihou You have written a letter requesting me to send two marching commanders there. Do you have any candidates to recommend?"
"I have someone to recommend!" Wang Fu, Minister of the Ministry of War, was the first to speak, "Master Shen, the captain of the Potian Army, was once a disciple of Changlin Villa, the best swordsman in the world. His swordsmanship and extraordinary kung fu are rare. The first choice talent!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to Shen Jinyu. Everyone knew that Shen Jinyu had a bad temper and pushed him to do such desperate work. This Wang Fu was also a real person.
But what everyone expected was that Shen Jinyu did not have the bad face as expected, but started to think seriously.
"Shen Aiqing, what do you think?" Lu Tao's first choice is also Shen Jinyu. His sword skills are difficult to match. If he is the marching coach, the chance of winning will be much greater, and he is a good choice for the Dongta people. With his unfamiliar face, the people in Dongtao don't know his skills, so he can catch them off guard.
Shen Jinyu thought deeply for a moment and bowed deeply to Lu Tao, "I obey your order!"
As soon as these three words came out, Lu Tao took a deep breath and showed a happy and grateful smile on his face. He looked around and asked: "There is another person, who is willing to recommend himself?"
"Your Majesty, Xue Ye, the commander of the five major battalions in the suburbs of Beijing, is willing to be the vanguard commander to defeat the rebels for the Jin Dynasty and restore peace to the border!" Xue Ye strode forward and recommended himself.
"Okay!" Lu Tao was very satisfied with Xue Ye's self-recommendation. He announced to the ministers below, "Shen Jinyu and Xue Ye, I personally appoint you two as the forward commanders of this march. You will lead the five battalions in the suburbs of Beijing and the Skybreaking Army." With four thousand men and horses each, the Yulin army has two thousand men and horses in front of Shuobei to crush the barbarians!"
As soon as the imperial edict was announced, preparations for going to Shuobei to quell the enemy began in full swing. Shen Jinyu returned to his home and told Fu Sheng and his cronies about the affairs, then packed his bags and prepared to set off.
When Dong Tao invaded, news spread quickly that Lieutenant Shen Jinyu of the Potian Army and Xue Ye, the commander of the five major battalions in the suburbs of Beijing, were rushing to rescue with reinforcements. Everyone was discussing, isn't Shen Jinyu a traitor who kills innocent people indiscriminately? Why? Will he be sent to fight on the front line?
Qi Yue, who heard the news, was on her way to Shuobei. She, Yin Baiyi, and Zhao Zhao were resting for a meal in the inn, and were listening to the people at the next table discussing the matter. When she heard the news that Dong Tao was invading and Shen Jinyu was leading troops to help, she He was stunned for a moment, and then reacted suddenly.
Dong Tao was the biggest enemy of the Jin Dynasty, so Shen Jinyu promised Lu Tao that he would assist him well. Shen Jinyu would not refuse when this appointment was made.
Dong Tao invaded the border of Shuobei, and Shuobei was short of men at this time, but Duan Mufeng asked her to go to Shuobei to assassinate a general under the Zhenbei Marquis. His intention was to weaken the troops of the imperial court that were fighting against Dong Tat.
Song Yao stood next to Lu Tao and patted Shen Jinyu's arm, "Make a triumphant return soon. I'll treat you to a drink when you come back."
After eating, Yin Baiyi returned to his room. When he opened the door, Qi Yue was sitting inside.
Before leaving, Lu Tao personally put on armored helmets for Shen Jinyu and Xue Ye, grabbed their arms and told them, "I'm waiting for you to come back!"
Zhao Zhao: "Why are you ignoring me?"
It turns out that Duan Mufeng had been asking her to kill court officials, not because Shen Jinyu joined the court as an official and he wanted to go against the court for this, but to help Dongtao weaken the court so that Dongtao people could insert spies.
Duan Mufeng committed treason.
The flags were flying fiercely, and as the horses' hooves kicked up dust in the sky, the figures of the reinforcements gradually disappeared in front of Lu Tao's eyes.
"That's great!" Xue Ye said with satisfaction.
"What's wrong with her?" Zhao Zhao, who was confused, turned to ask Yin Baiyi, but Yin Baiyi had a sullen face and did not answer.
The wind was a bit strong today, causing the flags on the city wall to rustle. Ten thousand soldiers were ready to go, and everyone had determination on their faces.
When Qi Yue realized this problem, his whole body suddenly became cold.
After saying goodbye and taking care, Shen Jinyu and Xue Ye didn't waste much time. As a burst of drums sounded, a battle flag with the word "Jin" written in black on a red background fluttered in the wind. Shen Jinyu and Xue Ye took the lead and led the way. Ten thousand Jin soldiers headed to the Shuobei battlefield where life and death were uncertain.
Shen Jinyu returned the gift, "You should do your best!"
Moreover, Dong Tao invades and the border wars are raging. It is the time to recruit people on the border. Will the bride with two swords who secretly assassinated court officials also target a crucial general in Shuobei? After all, if at this time , if there is one less general in Shuobei, the chances of victory of Jin Dynasty will decrease by one point, and the chance of Dongtao will increase by one point.
Shen Jin was betting that the bride with the double sword would go to Shuobei to kill the Jin general at this critical moment.
The dust on the dirt floor was blown up, and the dust blurred his eyes. Shen Jinyu blinked and squeezed the sand out of his eyes. He looked at the road ahead that was blocked by several mountains, feeling heavy in his heart.
Lu Tao led the ministers to see off Shen Jinyu and Xue Ye. After drinking the farewell wine, they threw glasses and shook drums, raised their arms and shouted, "The Jin Dynasty will win!"
Qin Huaiming took two steps forward and bowed deeply to Shen Jinyu and Xue Ye. Shen Jinyu subconsciously went to help him, but was stopped by Lu Tao. He looked at Shen Jinyu and shook his head.
Qi Yue instantly lost her appetite for eating. She threw away the bowl and chopsticks and went back to the room alone.
Song Yao laughed and said, "Is it possible to buy you a drink and introduce you to your wife?"
Xue Ye stuck his head in from the side and asked, "Won't you treat me to a drink?"
He is working for Dong Tat!
The reinforcements rushing to Shuobei set off at the city gate ten days later, and the people in the city came to see them off. The women carried bamboo baskets in their hands and scattered prayer petals on the road where the soldiers walked, sending them the most sincere blessings.
"Hey, you don't want to eat?" Zhao Zhao shouted at Qi Yue's back, but Qi Yue didn't answer and just walked away.
Shen Jinyu could only retract her hand and let Qin Huaiming finish the salute, "Master Shen, Master Xue, you are fighting for the people of Jin Dynasty. You can bear this gift from me. The border is bitterly cold, and the swords on the battlefield have no eyes. How can I hope you will be able to bear this gift?" Your Excellency can make a triumphant return as soon as possible!"
Seeing Yin Baiyi coming back, Qi Yue asked directly, "Yin Baiyi, do you know that Duan Mufeng is working for Dongtao? He asked me to kill Shang Yunfei, the general under the Marquis of Zhenbei, just to make Jin lose to Dongtao in this battle. , so that Dong Tat can further enter the territory of the Jin Dynasty."
Yin Baiyi lowered his eyes and did not look at her, "These things are not my business, let alone yours. Just complete your tasks."
"This is betraying the country!" Qi Yue glared at Yin Baiyi and cursed angrily.
"But so what? What can you do? What can I do? You and I are both prisoners, and our survival depends on other people's moods. How can we care about national affairs?" Yin Baiyi sneered.
