Chapter 1460: Xiao Jingrui's Order!
Yuan Bupo did not expect that after leading the army for more than ten years, he would actually be eaten by a young boy. In a fit of anger, he became sick.
Moreover, his illness was getting worse.
If the Black Clouds Kingdom attacked at this time, it would be very easy for the Black Clouds Kingdom to break through the layers of defence lines and attack the nearby cities. In the end, they would completely occupy the cities.
The crisis of the situation quickly reached Yuwen Longyan's ears. Immediately, he made a prompt decision to promote Jiang Zhennan, who was secretly trained, to the position of General and command all the battles at the border.
Jiang Zhennan had received the Emperor's support. He immediately adjusted all military arrangements. Then, before the other party could turn around, he took advantage of the night to burn the other party's grain.
The Black Clouds Kingdom, which did not have any provisions, could not start a war with the Longyan Kingdom for the time being.
Longyan Kingdom could take a breather for a while.
..
Xiao Jingrui looked at the medical insurance card in his hand and continued to fall into deep thought.
If they had continued to attack while Yuan Bupo was seriously ill, they would have quickly occupied a city in the Longyan Kingdom.
However, someone was unwilling to take this credit and actually bribed the people around him to secretly poison him.
Fortunately, his internal energy was strong, and his martial arts was strong. When he realized that something was wrong, he quickly forced the poison out. However, there was still some left in his body. Before he fainted, he ordered a few trusted aides who were loyal to General Lingyun to guard him day and night. Before he woke up, no one was allowed to step into the general's camp except for the military doctor!
In fact, the poison he was poisoned with was deadly. He did not know if he had a chance to survive.
But he still hadn't taken revenge. How could he be willing to die like this?
Therefore, he relied on his strong obsession for revenge, coupled with the medical skills of the military doctor, to survive.
He had survived.
However, when he woke up, he was shocked to hear that the Longyan Kingdom had burned their rations.
He knew that Yuan Bupo was clearly seriously ill, so how could he still have the energy and ability to send people to burn the provisions in their camp?
He immediately ordered his men to investigate and found out that the other party had changed generals.
And this general, like him, was a young general who had been personally promoted by the Emperor of Longyan Country. He had rushed to deliver the imperial edict.
This young general was a courageous person. As soon as he took office, he adjusted several battle plans. Since he was unconscious, it was natural that the Black Clouds Kingdom's military camp was unable to guard against him!
"d.a.m.n it!" Knowing that he had missed the best opportunity to attack the other party, Xiao Jingrui was furious.
Immediately, he reorganized the people around him to prevent him from being a.s.sa.s.sinated again. After that, he also reorganized the military deployment. All the important positions were replaced by the trusted aides left by his master, General Lingyun.
After that, he ordered people to escort and protect the rations.
He knew that he would be obstructed when he was escorting the rations, so he arranged three routes. Two of them were to confuse the empress and the crown prince.
The rest of the group, with the help of General Lingyun and Grand Secretary Lu, finally transported the grain to the battlefield.
However, Xiao Jingrui's luck wasn't very good.
Even if he were resourceful and talented in the military, when facing a military genius like Jiang Zhennan, there would always be someone who would drag him down.
Therefore, the game between him and Jiang Zhennan was sometimes won and sometimes lost, and neither side could do anything to the other.
However, one day, the Imperial Capital sent someone over, and he issued ten imperial edicts in a row to revoke his position as Great General. He quickly entered the capital to meet the Emperor!
He was a general, so he only needed to listen to military orders!
However, if he disobeyed multiple imperial edicts again, he would be beheaded!
As a last resort, Xiao Jingrui, who had been dismissed from his position as a general, followed the eunuch back to the palace!
The moment he returned to the palace, his beloved Imperial Father imprisoned him for disobeying the decree.
Without freedom, connections, and power, he was like a criminal, dark without light.
However, how could he be willing to let the empress and the crown prince's plot succeed just like that?
Therefore, he went to meet his father and requested the emperor to demote him to an ordinary person.
Ever since he learned martial arts from the Mad Master, the Doctrine of the Middle Way from the Grand Scholar Lu, and military strategy from the Great General Ling Yun, he had slowly gathered his own connections in the palace. After a few years of development, he finally had his own trusted aides in the court.
