Mingrui is also quite difficult.

As soon as Heshen left the capital, Fu Longan wrote to him, asking Mingrui to find a way to avoid Heshen and take back Balikun, and to disrupt all Heshen's actions to take back Balikun.

To put it simply, it is to let Mingrui take credit, not only to fulfill Qianlong's entrustment, but also to discredit Heshen.In this way, He Shen will be convicted after returning to Beijing, and in this way, he falls into Fu Long'an's arms.

During the past few years in the Military Aircraft Department, He Shen never took the initiative to make friends with any ministers.Wu Shengqin and Wu Shenglan are related to his studies, Yinglian is his future father-in-law, and Liu Tongxun and the others are colleagues from the Military Aircraft Department.

He doesn't make friends with civil servants, let alone military generals.

Once He Shen was convicted and lost his grace, he would no longer be able to gain a foothold in the court.Because the only thing He Shen can rely on is the emperor's favor, nothing else can be relied on.

As for Yinglian, Fu Long'an didn't think that Yinglian could reverse the result with Qianlong after Heshen failed to regain Barkol.What happened to Balikun can never be repeated. If he fails again, Qianlong Longyan will be furious, and Yinglian will not be able to save him.

If Yinglian insisted on interceding for Heshen, and even offended Qianlong and was punished accordingly, that would be what Fulongan would like to see.

Fu Long'an had calculated everything, but Mingrui, who he thought would listen to him the most, was wrong.

Mingrui has been fighting abroad since he was an adult. Unlike Fu Longan, he is a real soldier.Fu Long'an grew up in front of Qianlong, and only later went out to lead the army to fight. The important minister of the Military Aircraft Department is naturally different from this cousin who is wandering around in the military camp.

Ming Rui didn't have the habits of Fu Long'an. After receiving this letter from Fu Long'an, Ming Rui only thought for a moment before burning the letter.

Fu Long'an wrote to him, telling him to do this, but things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and this place is far away from the capital.Fulong'an will not know whether Mingrui will do this or not. It's too far away, and Fulong'an's hand can't reach that far.Even if they do match up in the future, he can still say that he did what Fu Longan said, but was resolved by He Shen, so he failed.

According to Mingrui's own wishes, he will not do anything to prevent Heshen from recovering Balikun.On the contrary, he will do everything in his power to assist He Shen and recover Balikun quickly.

Yili has a vast area under its jurisdiction, and Mingrui still has a lot of official duties to deal with. He has served as General Yili for less than three years, and General Dingxi always mishandled the issue of Barkol. This happened when he led his troops to go elsewhere. matter.

Qianlong never held him accountable, but he thought he was also responsible.

After going to Beijing to report on his work three years later, Mingrui didn't want to have any problems with Barkol.So this time, no matter what He Shen needs to do, he has to watch from behind, so that He Shen can take Balikun back smoothly.

He Shen still has some impressions of Balikun's battle this time.

In his previous life, he was a military minister. Although he was not very good at fighting, he had deliberately studied Agui and others. He had read archives and records of all the wars during the Qianlong period. , I remember that at most two months at that time, people took Barkol back.

The battle was relatively small, and the process was not that complicated. In addition to the long history, He Shen can no longer remember how this battle was fought.

But it doesn't matter, He Shen has already thought of how to deploy and take back Balikun on the way here.

After meeting with the local garrison, He Shen began his deployment.

It is common for the troops to harass Yili. Both sides always suffer losses, but because of the disparity in strength, it is basically impossible to cause a major war.

He Shen wants to take back Balikun, as long as the deployment is proper, everything will happen naturally after finding the fighter.

Just as I said before, the local garrison fully cooperated with He Shen's deployment, and everything obeyed He Shen's arrangement. A month later, the fighter plane arrived, and after only a few back and forth battles, Barkol returned to the Qing Dynasty. .

He Shen originally expected to regain Barkol within two months, but now it is a month earlier than he expected. That is to say, he can return to the capital ahead of schedule after dealing with Barkol's follow-up affairs.

The booklet for Qianlong was sent from Balikun to the capital, and Heshen, with the cooperation of the local garrison, completed the final aftermath. After ensuring that there would be no further action when returning to the Ministry, he set off to leave Balikun.

Whether Yongchang will come back here again to be his Dingxi general and continue to garrison is a question that Qianlong needs to consider, and it is no longer within the scope of Heshen's consideration.

Even if Qianlong wants to send a new garrison general, Balikun's various affairs and embarrassments have already been arranged properly, no matter who it is, he can get started directly.

Before going to see Feng Zhixi, He Shen went to see Ming Rui first.

Mingrui stayed in Yili for the rest of this month, and never left. He has been closely following the development of the war in Balikun, and it was not until Balikol was successfully recovered that Mingrui really let go of his heart.

He Shen and Ming Rui made the final handover, and then after all official duties were completed, he went to meet Feng Zhixi who hadn't seen him for more than a month.

During this period, he and the little girl never saw each other, nor did they communicate with each other. He could only occasionally hear about the little girl's current situation from Liu Quan in his spare time.

I heard that the little girl read some local picture books in the general's mansion when she first started, and invited people to tell some local interesting stories, and then she started to go shopping in the city.

During this month, she got to know her well here in Yili. Many people in the city knew this girl from the capital, and some children were very happy to hear her talk about the customs and customs in the capital and other parts of the Qing Dynasty.

He Shen is quite happy that the little girl is so lively and active.

When he went to see the little girl, no one informed him, not even Liu Quan.Instead, let Liu Quan go to the residence to rest by himself. After all, Liu Quan has been with him in the camp for more than a month. rest.

But when they arrived at the little girl's residence, Lin Hua and Xue Yong were standing at the door, looking forward to something.

As soon as they saw him coming, the eyes of the two little servant girls lit up instantly, and they ran into the house in a hurry: "Girl, girl, you and the young master are back!"

Feng Zhixi heard from people in the General's Mansion early in the morning that He Shen would come to the General's Mansion to see General Mingrui today.

It's just that the little girl didn't hear from He Shen, and she didn't know if He Shen would come to see her.

So I kept the two little maids watching outside the house, and whenever they saw He Shen coming, they would notify her immediately.

On the surface, Feng Zhixi seemed to be calmly sitting at the table flipping through the books, but in fact, she had been waiting for the news from outside. She had been waiting for a whole day, and her heart was full of anxiety, fearing that He Shen would not come.

Naturally, she knew that the official business should not be delayed, but after waiting for a day, no one came or news, the little girl was inevitably a little disappointed in her heart.Just wondering if she won't be able to see her elder brother Shen today.

She held the book and read it all day without even turning a few pages. She still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, thinking that maybe He Shen would come over before it was dark.

He Shen entered the mansion, went to General Mingrui, and came out from General Mingrui. The news came from Lin Huaxue one by one, and the little girl didn't care about reading. She just waited in the room holding the books. Trying to restrain the urge to run to find Heshen by himself.

Just when the little girl felt that she was about to be unable to restrain her impulse and enthusiasm, the voices of Lin Hua and Xue Yong came in.

The little girl immediately put down the book in her hand, and rushed out of the door, just as He Shen was walking to the door, the two of them stopped when their eyes met, and they just stood there, their eyes intertwined.

He Shen looked at Feng Zhixi.

She is thinner than when she came here, but her eyes are big and energetic.She was smiling happily all the time, the two small dimples at the corners of her mouth were deep, and she still looked obedient and cute.She took off her men's clothing, and she was wearing her daughter's dress, which looked like fabric from Yili City.When they came, they didn't bring the women's dresses. The clothes should have been newly made in Yili City.

Feng Zhixi looked at Heshen.

He was much taller again, strong and slender.Even though he was wearing ordinary clothes, he looked like a general in armor. After going through a lot of battles, he had the killing and decisiveness of a man on the battlefield. Close, yet deeply attracted to all those who approached him.

As long as Feng Zhixi thinks that the person standing in front of her is the person she longs for, is her future husband, and is worth entrusting to her for the rest of her life, she will be unable to restrain the turbulent emotions in her heart. Shen's moment was more vigorous.

She stood on the spot and looked at He Shen carefully, and after confirming that the person she loved was really not injured, she ran over and gently threw herself into He Shen's arms, and then hugged the apex of her heart tightly. people.

Her voice trembled slightly, but it contained joy and excitement. It carried all the thoughts and feelings of the past month, and her voice still carried the softness of her daughter. She said: "Welcome back. My Batulu .”

When she heard of Balikun's great victory, He Shen successfully regained the lost land, and the army lost very little, she wanted to hug her young boy and say this sentence.

In her mind, He Shen is a hero.Is the most powerful warrior.

Enduring her shyness and reserve, the girl stood on tiptoe gently. Under He Shen's affectionate gaze, imitating his appearance when he was leaving, she covered his eyes with her palm, and touched the center of his brow with her soft lips. A kiss was gently dropped there.

He Shen was so happy, he couldn't help hugging the little girl up, and hugged her around several times amid the little girl's screams. He was so excited, he put the little girl down with a smile, Seeing the little girl's cheeks glowing red from shock and excitement, he couldn't help laughing.

He clung to the little girl's ear, expressing his thoughts affectionately and gently: "My son, I miss you very much."

The little girl lowered her head and pursed her lips into a smile, and responded softly: "I miss you too."
