I'm The Vicious Cannon Fodder In The Book

The foreigners near Gucheng have their own country called Ghost Yan, and they also have their own city, but it is far away and few people go there.

There are many ethnic groups in the Ghost Yan Kingdom, mainly the militant Guizhen clan, and they are the ones who harass the Great Xia Kingdom all the year round.

Ghost Yan Kingdom's attack this time was predictable.

Two months ago, Li Mingjin discussed with Wei Linyuan and several other generals whether the foreigners in the north would go to war against Gucheng because of winter food. Facts have proved that there is absolutely no problem for them to discuss in advance.

Li Mingjin worked hard in Gucheng this year. When farming, he also asked soldiers to plant the land. The income of the entire Gucheng doubled compared with previous years. Not only the local officials admired his methods and ideas, but even the ghosts around him. Yan Guo also often sent his sons to investigate, and they even caught several waves.

Since there is a harvest, it will naturally be robbed. Who doesn't want to stockpile more food for the winter, Guiyan Country is located in the grassland, and there is no way to farm, so the only way to live a better life is to rely on robbing.

Of course, it's not that Li Mingjin has never thought about negotiating with the other party and making a deal. The other party has cattle and sheep, and he has grain, which can be exchanged. However, the plan is obviously not favored by others. Gucheng's grain has indeed doubled this year, but It is only enough for Gucheng's own internal consumption, and we have to anticipate whether there will be a war later, so we need to store more. Gucheng's granaries cannot be empty or moved.

Besides, how could Gui Yanguo deal with them honestly, asking for prices, it would be better to fight with them, this is also in the hands of Li Mingjin, the gentle way is useless at all, it is not only a waste of time, but also makes the enemy stronger Opportunity.

According to reports from the spies in front, the Ghost Yan Kingdom brought their cavalry here this year. According to the sound, it may be far from [-] soldiers and horses, and it is estimated that there are [-] to [-] soldiers.

Gucheng also had cavalry, which belonged to Wei Linyuan's team and was left to him by General Wei.

Although Li Mingjin has only been in Gucheng for a few months, during this time, some of his novel methods have won the favor of many soldiers. Even Wei Linyuan, who does not favor any side, will occasionally say a few good words for Li Mingjin, not only him, The same goes for the third prince and concubine. Their husband and wife's approach is really too advanced, and it has also benefited the common people a lot. Everything they do has infinite credit.

Of course Wei Linyuan would communicate with General Wei. After he explained to each other the deeds of the third prince and the third concubine in the north, he found that his father didn't know anything about it.It turned out that these news did not reach the capital at all. For a while, Wei Linyuan thought a lot. Perhaps the third prince did these things not to compete with other princes for fame, but he was really doing it seriously, regardless of other benefits.

Wei Linyuan also heard his father mention that Emperor Tiansheng often mentioned the third prince of Gucheng in front of him. He was afraid that they would not have enough food and clothing, so he often asked people to quietly bring food to the couple. The other princes knew that his father seemed to be a quiet person, but he couldn't hide things well, and he didn't know who to tell, so he wrote a letter to Wei Linyuan who could hide things. .

Hearing too much about Tianshengdi's treatment of the third prince, combined with Li Mingjin's current actions, Wei Linyuan quietly changed his view of the third prince, and occasionally reminded his younger brother to be respectful to the third prince. Sometimes he felt that Tiansheng Emperor might treat the third prince in his heart. Still have some expectations?

It is absolutely right to follow the third prince well, at least Wei Linyuan can understand his meaning from his father's letter.

For so many years, I haven't heard his father mention any prince, even the prince seldom mentioned, why is he now paying attention to the third prince.

The letters between the family members actually revealed a lot of important information to Wei Linyuan.

At this time, Luo Shuyu also began to worry about Li Mingjin. He paced around the study in the house, worried about Li Mingjin who was on the front line today.

Under Lin Yuan's conditioning for nearly half a year, Chen Rong is no longer supportive, and it is no problem to follow Li Mingjin to the front line.

Li Mingjin wanted to go to the front line, and Luo Shuyu didn't stop him. Compared to living a comfortable life, it was worth taking some risks. There were hidden guards around him to protect him, and Li Mingjin had promised that Luo Shuyu would not rush into battle blindly, and he would put himself in a safe place. bring back.

But, Luo Shuyu is still worried. Li Mingjin has never been on the battlefield in his previous life, and this is the first time in his life. Luo Shuyu has confidence in his intelligence, but the sword has no eyes after all, and the battlefield changes rapidly. Who knows what will happen in the next moment.

When Luo Shuyu was tangled up and down, it was getting dark, and after a while, a guard came back to report Li Mingjin's news to him.

The cavalry of the Guiyan tribe was not far from Gucheng. The Great Xia Army had a fight with the cavalry of the opponent. Li Mingjin was in front of the army, but there were other generals who were more brave and good at fighting. Take countermeasures.

Luo Shuyu breathed a sigh of relief after listening to the previous report, and waited for the guards to complete the rest of the content, Luo Shuyu brought it up again in one breath: "What did you just say?"

Guard: "Your Highness said that he will lead troops to battle tomorrow."

Luo Shuyu paused for a moment: "I see, you go and eat something first, and come here later to get a letter to His Highness." He knew that Li Mingjin, who had been suppressed for many years, would not be silent for too long when he watched others play.

Guard: "Yes."

Luo Shuyu hasn't written a letter to Li Mingjin for a long time since they got married. The two of them would talk to each other every day when they slept together. They got to know each other more and more. Naturally, there was no need to express their feelings by writing letters. .

But today, Luo Shuyu suddenly wanted to write a letter to Li Mingjin. After all, she couldn't express her own meaning through the oral communication of others.

Luo Shuyu studied ink by herself, picked up a pen and wrote on paper the first letter to Li Mingjin after arriving in Gucheng.

Ghost Yan Kingdom fought with the Great Xia Army that day. They came from light cavalry troops, and most of the time they were used for surprise attacks. But today, the Great Xia Army had taken precautions early on. After a battle, they retreated twenty miles away, while the Daxia Army camped on the spot.

When he was free, Li Mingjin had time for the guards to send a message to Luo Shuyu who was waiting in the mansion. Just after drinking and eating meat with all the generals, Li Mingjin received a reply from Luo Shuyu.

After being in contact with Li Mingjin for a few months, many generals knew that the third prince in front of him was a little fearful of guilt, and felt that the third prince was getting more down-to-earth. After all, they were also afraid of guilt!Although everyone said that the third concubine was a handsome and extraordinary son, in the eyes of the generals, the person whom even the third prince feared must be as vicious as the one in their family!

No, the third prince had to send someone back to report when he fought a battle. After comparing them, the generals felt that the third prince was the same as them, and they had a common topic.

Fear is a good thing!

Li Mingjin took the family letter from the guard and put it in her arms.

The general who was acquainted with him joked: "Your Highness, my wife never checks the post when I am fighting outside."

Li Mingjin replied with a rolling word, and the generals laughed.

Well, now everyone knows that he is afraid of guilt.

Li Mingjin entered the tent with the letter, and after opening the letter, a smile could not help but curl up at the corner of his mouth.

It was still his daughter-in-law's style of writing letters, writing as little as she could.

[Encourage it! 】

Even if there are only two words, Li Mingjin cherishes them in his chest, and will do his best in the battle tomorrow.

In the early morning of the next day, the army of Ghost Yan Kingdom came to harass the Great Xia Army again, and Li Mingjin followed him out early in the morning to fight.

The two sides have sufficient physical fitness and food, and the fight is inseparable.

After several days in a row, the two sides drew.

Ghost Yanguo found that this year's Great Xia Army is not like the old general Wei's routine. This year, the Great Xia Army has a faint tendency to overwhelm them. The further they go to the back, the greater the pressure they feel. Yan's light cavalry suffered heavy losses, and they were beaten so much that they ran hundreds of miles overnight and left Daxia.

Run too fast.

This year's victory came very quickly, even Wei Linyuan, who had been fighting for many years, wondered if the ghost country of Yan had been a vegetarian all year round, so he didn't fight like this.

But if you think about it carefully, most of the ideas this year came from an aide surnamed Chen next to the third prince. He was always able to pinch the ghost Yan army's seven inches and fight against them. He was also responsible for the night attack on the fourth day. Come up with an idea, otherwise the other party wouldn't have slipped so fast.Of course, this is also related to the fact that both of them have changed their generals.

The great victory of the Great Xia army, the news spread to the capital quickly. Emperor Tiansheng had been worried about the invasion of the Guiyan clan for a while, and now he had a great victory. Emperor Tiansheng was so happy that he rewarded the third prince with a lot of things , Hurry up and send people to the front line.

I never thought that Li Mingjin would do something there, but I didn't expect him to do a good job.

Emperor Tiansheng has been in power for many years, and he naturally has his eyeliner on the border. It is impossible for him not to know what Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu have done. Now it is a real battle achievement. However, in order to protect Li Mingjin from being targeted by other princes, he sent Wei Linyuan was at the front, praising Old General Wei for being good at teaching his son. Old General Wei muttered in his heart, of course I was good at teaching his son, but your crown prince and eldest prince are really indescribable.

However, this news made Emperor Tiansheng happy for two days. On the third day, the Fourth Prince happened to come back from the south, bringing both good and bad news.

It took a few months for the fourth prince to find the evidence of the embezzlement of the relief food. The scope of the matter was too wide. The fourth prince quietly returned to Beijing with his people. On the way, he came back with evidence, so as not to be robbed on the road.

However, he didn't expect that Li Mingjin's first victory in the north was a day earlier than his!

It was such a coincidence, as if arranged by God.

When it comes to the smooth return of the fourth prince to the capital, it is necessary to mention their difficult journey in the past few months.

After Shen Mingyun was kidnapped, he honestly accompanied the fourth prince to investigate the case. During this period, he was not threatened by others as the fourth prince. He kept a low profile, and the incident with Xiao Ming hit him hard. How could such a handsome man be so innocent? Yes, it's been a few days.

After being kidnapped, he started to do the task seriously, and won the favor of the fourth prince, and the two reconciled as before, Xiao Biesheng was newly married, and it was sweet for a while.

With the two people's concerted efforts, the Four Emperors investigated the case, and Shen Mingyun started to do some small tasks and completed several achievements. Of course, the result of his tasks was to make the local police busy. Today, he caught the serial killer who was suddenly released. Tomorrow, I will investigate the case of the sudden death of my wife by domestic violence. In short, I am very busy.

It was also because of Shen Mingyun's small tasks. With the accumulation, he got points, bought props, found out the exact location of the evidence that the Fourth Prince had never found, and took a little effort to get the evidence. After all, it was not a legal means.

The incident in Dong'an County was investigated here, and the fourth prince took Shen Mingyun back to the capital, leaving the imperial envoy in Dong'an County to pretend that he was still investigating the case. No one knew that the fourth prince left by means of a golden cicada escaping its shell.

This is Li Mingchun's fastest time to come back to report the situation to Emperor Tiansheng. He wants his father to look at him with admiration and leave a good impression in his heart.He never expected that his third brother would bring good news from the north. If there was a secret report on this matter, then his credit would become the fuse that made his father unhappy, and his credit would be greatly reduced.I thought about handing over this evidence to the Imperial Envoy, but he has never made a fuss over the years. If he doesn't seize the opportunity now, he will have no chance to show his face in front of his father. After all, Emperor Tiansheng is getting older and older .

This item is very important to the eldest prince, if he is sent to the emperor, the two brothers will definitely turn against each other, and the eldest brother will be the first to let him go.

Suddenly, I was a little envious of Shen Mingyun who started eating and drinking after returning to the capital, it's fine to be heartless.

Whether he will turn against his elder brother or reach the sky in one step in the future is only a matter of his will.

After thinking about it, Li Mingchun finally chose to meet Emperor Tiansheng on the second day after returning to the capital, because if it was later, the eldest brother and others would find out that he had returned to the capital and make trouble for him.

Emperor Tiansheng saw the evidence brought back by the fourth prince and a series of corruption and bribery, and the list of collusion between government and businessmen. This matter is inseparable from the Lin family in Dong'an County, and the main source of corruption is the Lin family. Tiansheng Emperor was really angry , the good mood of the previous two days was beaten to nothing.

It's great for the Lin family to stay in Dong'an County!He even dared to swallow the disaster relief food from the imperial court, and raised the price on the ground, making the people's livelihood difficult. Not only that, the Lin family also invaded the people's fields, levied more miscellaneous taxes than any county, and completely disregarded the lives of the people!

No wonder there were so many refugees last winter, no wonder the people in Dong'an County rebelled, they were forced to die!

What a Lin family!

Emperor Tiansheng got angry in the imperial study, and the fourth prince stood aside and waited for his next order.

Fortunately, with the joy of the previous two days as a foundation, Emperor Tiansheng was not in a hurry. He didn't need to call the imperial doctor. He managed to stabilize his emotions and began to think about the next arrangement, how to get rid of these big summer moths .

At the same time, Lin Guifei learned from the eunuch that the fourth prince would enter the palace immediately after returning to the capital, her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately called the eldest prince into the palace.

After Emperor Tiansheng ordered the imperial envoy to go south, they secretly made plans.

After inquiring that the fourth prince had entered the palace today, Emperor Tiansheng did not allow others to approach the study, which shows that the situation is very serious.

The eldest prince hurriedly rushed into the palace to see Concubine Lin Gui, his forehead was covered with sweat: "Mother Concubine, what should I do?"

Concubine Lin frowned the willow leaf eyebrows she had just drawn: "What does the fourth prince mean now, I will not let you know when I quietly return to Beijing."

The eldest prince: "I don't know, mother concubine, will the fourth brother get any evidence about the Lin family?"

Concubine Lin Guifei: "No, I asked your grandfather, and he said that everyone who should have been dealt with at the beginning has been dealt with, and the fourth prince will not get the evidence."

The eldest prince: "But why did he go straight to the emperor's place as soon as he returned to the palace? There must be some things that haven't been cleaned up. No, I'm going to see my grandfather!"

Concubine Lin Gui: "Come back, what's the rush! So what if this matter is exposed, did you forget that you still have your uncle?" He also had soldiers in his hand.

The First Prince: "Are we really going to go this far?"

Concubine Lin Gui, "Son, do you want to see your grandfather's many years of foundation ruined at once? He did it for you, for us, otherwise why would he do this."

The eldest prince: "I, I don't know, he is my royal father."

Concubine Lin Gui snorted coldly: "Your father is a heartless man. I was his first wife back then, but after he ascended the throne, he didn't make me his queen. Instead, he listened to the Queen Mother and married someone else."

The eldest prince hesitated: "Mother Concubine, allow me to think again! Think again."

Concubine Lin Guifei: "What's there to think about? Everyone has climbed on top of you. Besides, your father's health has long since deteriorated. If the crown prince ascends to the throne, there is no possibility for our mother and son to survive. He is the first The one who takes us under the knife, in the end, is still dead."

The eldest prince was very confused.

After the eldest concubine gave birth to his daughter, he felt that the throne was getting farther and farther away from him, especially when Emperor Tiansheng ordered imperial envoys to go south.

What should he do?

After many years of planning, we must not fall short!

One month after Ghost Yan Kingdom Qingqi left in embarrassment, the army of Ghost Yan Kingdom came under pressure, and the battle in Gucheng was tense.

With the good start last time, the momentum of the Great Xia Kingdom is like a torrent.

However, Chen Rong still poured cold water on Li Mingjin: "His Royal Highness, last time Qingqi was led by the inexperienced little prince of Yan Kingdom, but this time the leader is the eldest prince who has fought against General Wei all the year round. Now, General Wei is not here, and General Wei Linyuan's prestige is not enough to crush the opponent. The prince of the ghost country of Yan is unscrupulous. Last time, he just came to test us. This time we must be careful and not follow the opponent's tricks."

Li Mingjin has never been arrogant and is willing to listen to other people's suggestions. Chen Rong showed his ingenuity in the north, and he was right.

Li Mingjin asked, "Then what can I do?"

Chen Rong: "Or you can send someone to ask Langcheng for help."

Li Mingjin frowned. It's not that he didn't want to ask for help, but if he sent a letter asking for help, would the people in Langcheng be willing to send troops?

At night, Li Mingjin told Luo Shuyu about her troubles.

Luo Shuyu handed him a kit: "Your Highness, do you still remember the token Wei Xianfei gave us before we set off?"

Li Mingjin took the token: "I know, but I want to try it first. If I really can't beat Prince Guiyan, I will send someone for help immediately. This is our last hole card."

Luo Shuyu nodded: "Your Highness, don't worry, I believe you can."

As long as he can come back alive well, he didn't say this, for fear that Li Mingjin would have a psychological burden.

Now is the most difficult time for them, and they must overcome this level no matter what.

At the same time, the report presented after the return of the fourth prince can be said to be like a thunder on the ground, and the calm capital city began to turbulent.

Half a month later, Li Mingjin led his troops deep into the enemy, was ambushed miserably, fell into the enemy's tricks, and disappeared.

After Luo Shuyu received the letter sent back from the front, her whole body was on the verge of collapse.

"Your Highness, you will be fine..."

The author has something to say: Third Prince: Daughter-in-law, I am your prisoner of war today. You saw that I am tall, majestic, and capable, so you immediately dragged me into the camp. I was terrified right then!

Luo Shuyu: ...
