Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

Ling Yun led the remaining 120,000 troops to besiege the Xia army that had not withdrawn from the canyon in time, thus catching the turtle in the jar.

In the end, the battle ended with Ling Yun making an unprecedented contribution.

By the time Emperor Jingzhang demoted Ling Yun to a commoner and exiled him three thousand miles away, in order to bring justice to General He and his men as well as the He family, the entire He family had already turned into a handful of yellow earth and a pile of bones.

Nothing makes sense anymore.

At that time, Ling Heng spoke with certainty, saying that when he was in Xia State, he rescued the documents of General He, who was treated as a slave by Xia State, and obtained the military records of the war that year, which made the truth known to the world.

It seemed reasonable at the time, but now thinking about it, it was just a conspiracy and trickery by Ling Heng to bring down his brothers.

This clerk should have been found by Ling Heng before he went on a diplomatic mission to the Xia Kingdom, and he also got the military records of that year.

Otherwise, for a diplomatic mission to the Xia Kingdom, the Ministry of Rites would only need to step in, and there would be no need for Ling Heng, who was already a hot candidate for the crown prince, to go.

One thing that is still unclear is why Ling Yun sent out reinforcements two days late?

Why did Emperor Jingzhang not say a word about this?

Li Shuangwan's eyes were filled with sorrow, and then he heard a loud bang.

The fast horse could hold on no longer, and just as its front hooves ran out, it fell to the ground, convulsing and died.

The messenger also rolled several times, with blood constantly gushing out of his mouth and nose.

He grabbed the legs of the man who rolled in front of him and pulled him down. He stuffed the letter into his hands, clenched it tightly with trembling hands, and uttered a few words with difficulty from his bleeding mouth: "Yanshan Pass was breached, 30,000 He family troops were wiped out, and General He, the deputy general, and the major general were all killed in the battle. Quick, report to the emperor, your Majesty..."

Before he could finish his words, he was already dead.

The passerby was so frightened that his face turned pale as paper. He was at a loss as to what to do with the letter and shouted at him to wake up.

When the people heard this, their faces changed drastically.

Yanshan Pass was breached, 30,000 He family soldiers were annihilated, and all the He family members died in the battle? !

Fortunately, the captain guarding the city had already rushed over.

The passerby pressed the letter into his hand and repeated the messenger's words in a trembling voice.

The captain's face changed drastically and he ran towards the palace.

Yizhu and Luoman were also very frightened and held Li Shuangwan's hands tightly.

Li Shuangwan immediately said: "Let's go to General He's Mansion!"

At this time, someone should have reported the news to the General's Mansion.

"Madam..." Yizhu nervously pulled Li Shuangwan and shook her head at her. She also heard the words of the messenger. The He family has been put on the fire. Whoever gets close to the He family at this time will be in trouble.

Moreover, since ancient times, the most taboo is for the generals guarding two places to have a close relationship. If Emperor Jingzhang knows about it, the princess will be in trouble.

Li Shuangwan patted Yizhu's hand gently. She knew what she was worried about, and pulled the two of them into the carriage: "Don't worry, we should be careful. No one will notice us at this time. Uncle Zhou, go to the back door of General He's mansion, and be quick."

Zhou Wen raised his whip.

At this moment, everyone in General He's mansion had a pale face, and the women and children in the mansion were all worried. Some servants even smelled danger and ran away with their gold and silver.

The man fell on his back and his horse fell over.

There was no one guarding the back door.

Li Shuangwan took Yizhu and went straight to Madam He's yard.

The structures of the mansions of wealthy families are similar, and Yizhu found out where Madam He lived after just a little inquiry.

Almost no one stopped him, and Li Shuangwan stood in front of Madam He.

Li Shuangwan recognized this heroic lady, and the old lady, who suddenly heard the bad news, looked much older in an instant, and the backbone that supported her seemed to collapse in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the young woman standing in front of her, she just trembled her lips and choked up and said, "The palace has suddenly encountered a disaster and cannot entertain Princess Heng. Please, Princess Heng..."

Li Shuangwan stepped forward and looked calmly at the hunched old man in front of him.

She said, "Madam He, do you believe that General He is a man who is reckless and stubborn in his use of the army for the sake of military merit? The old general is not a reckless man who only knows how to talk about war on paper. How could he use 30,000 He family troops to fight against 100,000 Xia country cavalry for four whole days? Isn't that like hitting a rock with an egg?"

"There are many doubts here that we haven't figured out, Madam He!"

What's more, Ling Yun later returned to the court with a great victory.

Not long after Ling Ji was deposed, Ling Yun ascended to the throne of crown prince.

The military achievements he made this time played a key role.

Madam He raised her head suddenly, as if someone had brought her back to life. She stared at Li Shuangwan in a daze and said in a hoarse voice, "Princess Heng, what do you mean by that?"

"A general should not fight a battle without a chance of winning. General He has been a general for decades and has experienced countless battles, big and small. How could he not know? If General He wanted to use himself as bait to lure out the Xia army, then he alone would be enough. The Xia country is most afraid of him, but why did General He bring all the sons of the He family with him?"

"Even if we bring them all, how can we defeat 100,000 Xia cavalrymen with only 30,000 for four days? We are just asking for our lives!"

"Princess Heng, you, you mean that the reinforcements arrived at the wrong time?"

Li Shuangwan nodded heavily: "No! One or two days is possible, but four days is impossible! So, Madam He, what is the truth? Why don't we find the old general's documents and get the military records first?"

Madam He stood up suddenly and pushed away the hand of the maid who was supporting her: "Princess Heng, you mean..."

Li Shuangwan nodded cautiously: "Old Madam, you also fought in countless battles with the old general when you were young, so you can see things more clearly than I can. I just think that if the old general wants to use himself as bait, he will never be trapped in the canyon."

"The answers to all these questions should be found in the military records kept by the old general's clerk."

"A general can die in a hundred battles, but he cannot die with a stigma and injustice. He will die with regrets, Madam He! You also want General He to bear the souls of 30,000 He's soldiers! How can he bear that?"

Madam He's tears welled up in her eyes, and she wiped them away with her car: "That's right! My husband and all the He generals and men have died in the battle. They can't just die like this and bear the infamy of being reckless and greedy for merit, which led to the annihilation of 30,000 He family troops! The He family still has women and children, and a little grandson who is still in swaddling clothes. My He family still has men, so we haven't reached the point of despair."

"I will send someone to southern Xinjiang secretly right away and will get the military records!" After saying that, he immediately ordered someone to call his trusted butler.

After hearing this, the housekeeper clasped his fists and said, "Yes, old lady, even if it costs me my life, I will definitely bring back the military records."

Li Shuangwan: "If possible, protect the old general's documents and bring them back. If the documents don't go to the battlefield, they are very likely to be alive."

"Yes."

"We need to let the world know that General He is not reckless and greedy for merit, nor is he a reckless man who uses his troops stubbornly and talks big but does nothing!"

The butler bowed to Li Shuangwan carefully and said, "I know what to do now."
