The legitimate daughter becomes cannon fodder? Rebirth to overthrow the system's fatality

Dongling values ​​culture, but it is also vast and rich in resources, which makes neighboring countries covet it.

In addition to Northern Qi, there were also some small tribes that would rob things in the border town of Dongling from time to time.

Because of the presence of the Wei family army garrison, small tribes generally did not dare to invade rashly in recent years, and the invasion period was almost always concentrated before winter.

But this year was very strange. These tribes that usually dared not show up actually formed an alliance and began to frequently invade the border town of Dongling on a large scale in late spring and early summer.

In the study, Jiang Xiubai couldn't help but bow and request: "General, if we don't send someone, I don't know how many more people will suffer. I beg you to go."

Wei Tiankuang sat steadily behind his desk, without raising his eyebrows.

"This general has written a memorial to His Majesty. Without His Majesty's order, no action can be taken."

The military advisor at the side advised: "Deputy General Jiang, please be patient, the general has his own plans."

Jiang Xiubai clenched his fists and lowered his head, so that no one could see his angry face.

The so-called 'imperial order' and 'own plans' are just their excuses.

What is the purpose of garrisoning troops on the border? Isn't it to protect the peace of the people in the border towns?

How many people have died from the delay of waiting for the emperor's order?

They were clearly reminding the emperor that even though Dongling and Northern Qi were to form an alliance, the Wei family was still indispensable.

They are using the lives of the people to demonstrate their indispensable status!

The suspicion in my heart was almost confirmed at this moment.

Those small tribes were able to unite in such a short time and were not afraid of the Wei family army. Combined with what he had overheard before, the driving force behind this was already clear.

He could use the lives of his own people to threaten the emperor, so naturally he could also collude with Northern Qi to gain military merit.

The more civilians die and the more critical the situation is, the more important the Wei family army is.

"General..."

Thinking of the suffering people, Jiang Xiubai still wanted to fight as soon as possible.

Wei Tiankuang raised his head, looked at him with sharp eyes, and said in an unquestionable voice: "You go down first, and when the time is right, I will let you lead the troops."

"Yes." Jiang Xiubai gritted his teeth and stepped back.

The military advisor's voice came from behind: "Deputy General Jiang is indeed a rare talent, and has the demeanor of a young general, but he is too soft-hearted after all."

"Watch him and don't let him do anything bad."

"Yes……"

Jiang Xiubai clenched his fists and left the study.

When they got outside the door, several soldiers surrounded them.

"Deputy General, what's going on? Did the general agree to send troops?"

Looking at the expectant eyes of several people, Jiang Xiubai shook his head.

"General, what are you waiting for? If we delay any longer, those little bastards will really think we are easy to bully!"

"It's just a few little scoundrels. It won't take much effort for us to kill them. What are you hesitating about, General?"

"That's right, the people are still waiting for us!"

"I heard from the villagers who escaped that those beasts committed all kinds of evil, such as burning, killing, looting and torture. How dare they challenge our Wei Family Army? When I'm gone, none of these beasts will be able to escape!"

"I am ready to fight today."

"Deputy General Jiang, the general still takes your words very seriously. Please go and persuade him again."

"It's useless." Jiang Xiubai shook his head.

This is the Wei family competing with the emperor, and only the emperor's words are effective.

In the imperial study of the Dongling Palace, Emperor Zhaolie was looking at the memorial in his hand.

"Bang!" The memorial was slammed hard on the imperial desk.

"Great Wei Tiankuang! Great Wei family!"

Eunuch Quan stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, calm down."

"Calm down? How can I calm down? He has challenged me head-on! Why didn't I see him asking for my instructions on everything in the past? Now that the people are suffering, he comes to ask for my instructions."

"Just a few small tribes dare to challenge the Wei family army?"

After a sigh of relief, Emperor Zhaolie rubbed his eyebrows.

"Hundreds of lives! They are my people..." His voice was full of helplessness.

"Pass on my decree and order Wei Tiankuang to quickly send troops to suppress the foreign tribes. The Wei family army has worked hard and made great contributions. I will also order the Ministry of Revenue to issue food, colorful satin, and 500 jars of imperial wine, and send Lao Wu to Yancheng to reward the Wei family army..." At the end, Emperor Zhaolie almost gritted his teeth.

On the surface, the fifth brother stands on the side of the prince, so it is most appropriate to let him go to Yancheng.

"Yes..." Mengzhou bowed.

Just as Mengzhou was about to retreat, he was stopped by Emperor Zhaolie.

"How are those who took the martial arts exam this year?"

"Your Majesty, two of the top three in the martial arts exam are already on the prince's side. The only one who is number one is Feng Yu. He is the adopted son of the cavalry commander Lin Xiao. He is currently serving under Lin Xiao and is a rare military talent."

Emperor Zhaolie snorted coldly.

"The Wei family is really good at winning people over."

"The Wei Family Army is well-known, and many people are proud to be able to join the Wei Family Army." Mengzhou said cautiously.

"Feng Yu, Lin Xiao's adopted son, and Madam Cheng Zongyang's adopted brother?"

"Yes."

Emperor Zhaolie finally smiled: "Old Fifth has a sharp eye."

Mengzhou asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you want to train Feng Yu?"

"Most of the generals in the court are from the Wei family, but there are not many generals available. Let Lin Xiao's faction keep a low profile and not confront the Wei family for the time being. Wait for the opportunity."

"I will remind Commander Lin privately."

"First, send my decree to Yancheng as soon as possible. It doesn't matter if the reward is given a few days later."

"Yes."
