Transmigrating into a Turbulent Era as a Soldier, Starting with Marrying a Wife

After the generals from the various prefectures left,

silence returned to the central military tent.

The Lady Marquis curled her slender body onto the command chair, feeling a wave of exhaustion.

At the beginning of the Great Liang Dynasty, the Bai family had rendered meritorious service in supporting the founding emperor, and was granted the title of Dragon骧 Marquis, ranking among the four great marquis families of the Great Liang Dynasty.

They were granted a territory the size of a prefecture as their fiefdom, and could even possess their own family armed force, the Dragon骧 Army.

However, after the new emperor ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager's faction, the civil officials, and the military meritorious families engaged in fierce internal strife.

After the old Marquis and his elder brother successively died in battle, the Bai family became increasingly weak and became the bottom of the four great marquis families.

This time, the Tiele people's army of 30,000 invaded the various prefectures of the North River Road, which can be said to be aggressive, and the public officials of the court believed that our Liang Kingdom would be defeated.

Fortunately, with the character of the Tiele people, they would generally only plunder for a while before retreating to the grasslands.

As long as they grabbed enough goods and population, they would not go deep into the hinterland of Great Liang.

The imperial court only needed to send people to resist along the Red Water River line, put on a show, and they could give an explanation to the people of the world.

But no one, whether noble or general of the court, was willing to fight this battle that was bound to be lost.

Because if they really lost the battle, the court would always have to find someone to take responsibility for the defeat.

Then the commander was the best scapegoat.

So from the Empress Dowager's faction to the powerful minister and even the other marquis, they all avoided leading troops to the Red Water River to resist the enemy.

Finally, after a series of power trades within the court, this battle that could not be won was forcibly decreed by the court and pushed to Bai Jing, who had just inherited the title of Marquis.

She was ordered to lead 5,000 Dragon骧 troops and 25,000 soldiers from the four prefectures of the North River Road, a total of 30,000 soldiers and horses, to resist the enemy at the Red Water River.

If she obeyed the decree and sent troops, then the crime of failing to resist the enemy could be pinned on her head after Bai Jing was defeated.

The Dragon骧 Marquis's family property and territory would still be plundered and蚕食 by various forces.

It can be said that from the moment she received the order to go to war, Bai Jing and the Bai family had been forced into a dead end.

During these days, Bai Jing thought hard, and the only way to protect her family's title and the family from destruction seemed to be one.

That was that she, Bai Jing, died in battle at the Red Water River, her body wrapped in horsehide and returned.

The convention of the Great Liang officialdom was not to severely punish the dead, and even if they were defeated, they would leave three points of face.

In other words, only if she died could she exchange a glimmer of life for the family, so that the Bai family could tide over the difficulties safely, and wait for a comeback in the future.

So Bai Jing had already resolved to die when she went on the expedition, and had written her will.

She even personally selected a picturesque cemetery, next to the graves of her father and brother, as her resting place.

Born in a royal family, everything is involuntary.

For the sake of the Bai family's survival, she, as a daughter, could only face death calmly.

However, the two things that happened later greatly exceeded her expectations.

The first thing was naturally that her younger sister, Bai Yuxuan, disregarded the danger and hid in a wooden box to secretly come to the front line camp, to advance and retreat with her sister.

This made Bai Jing very moved.

Her younger sister Bai Yuxuan was known as a female strategist at home, and was intelligent and decisive since childhood.

Bai Jing's original intention was to leave her at home, and after she died in battle, Bai Yuxuan would preside over the overall situation at home.

But now she had run to the front line, and once she was defeated, the two sisters could not all be搭进去.

Otherwise, what would happen to the Bai family in the future.

So the Dragon骧 Marquis had secretly ordered her subordinates to leave horses and fifty personal soldiers 15 miles behind.

Once she was defeated, she would immediately arrange for her personal soldiers to forcibly escort her sister to evacuate.

And the other thing completely exceeded her expectations.

That was that in her army, she suddenly discovered a military genius, Li Yuan, the military fort commandant under the command of the Dingzhou army.

Although Bai Jing's own battle experience was not very rich,

but since childhood, under the influence of her father and brother, her eye for talent would not be bad.

The feeling Li Yuan gave her was surprise and shock.

He could anticipate the enemy, had good strategies in his chest, and what was even more rare was that he was young and handsome.

If it was just like this, in Bai Jing's eyes, Li Yuan was just an excellent strategist.

But just now, the heroic figure of Commandant Li single-handedly picking off the Tiele Bohu warrior in the chaotic army with a spear made her heart surge.

The heroic figure of holding a spear and riding a horse gave Bai Jing too much shock and impact in her heart.

After all, although this Lady Marquis was in a high position of power, in terms of age, she was just a nineteen-year-old maiden.

After inheriting the title of Marquis, Bai Jing believed that she was no longer qualified to talk about love between men and women.

If she could survive, perhaps after a few years, under the arrangement of the family.

Finding a like-minded aristocratic son to marry into the Bai family and give birth to offspring to continue the family incense would be her ultimate destination.

However, today, that man named Li Yuan really stirred up a ripple in her heart that was already like a deep pool.

Now, as long as the Lady Marquis closed her eyes, the scene of Li Yuan wielding his spear and charging on his horse would appear in her mind.

The man's handsomeness and heroism lingered in Bai Jing's mind for a long time.

She really did not expect that she would actually be moved by love.

The reason was not difficult to understand, if it was not for Li Yuan's plan, there would not have been today's great victory over the Tiele vanguard.

It was very likely that Bai Jing had already been defeated and died under the fierce attack of the Tiele army, becoming a corpse.

This was the first time Li Yuan had saved her.

And tonight, if Li Yuan had not discovered the Tiele people's three hundred elite cavalry sneaking into the camp in advance.

And personally killed the Bohu warrior of the enemy army, then she would probably be a corpse again now.

Having experienced life and death twice in one day, it was really not an accident to have some elusive feelings for the life-saving benefactor.

At this time, Bai Jing was pretending to be calm, but because she was the noble Dragon骧 Marquis, she could not show it.

The Lady Marquis took another sip of wine.

The strong aroma of the wine surged up, and the slight intoxication extinguished some sorrow.

She put the white porcelain wine bottle in her hand on the table.

This mellow and strong wine was the 【Forget Worry Brew】 presented by General Han Mingdao of Dingzhou.

It has a slight bitterness at the first drink, but the more you savor it, the more flavorful it becomes.

The Dragon骧 Marquis, who was full of sorrow, unknowingly drank a bottle of Forget Worry Brew clean.

Bai Jing looked at the empty wine bottle and could not help but smile bitterly in her heart.

Forget Worry Brew, I hope you can live up to your name and let me forget my sorrows.

But unexpectedly, the after-effect of this wine was very strong, and the Lady Marquis's head was slightly dizzy.

At this time, the tent curtain was lifted.

Zhao Yong, the Dragon骧 Army's guard captain, entered the tent to persuade.

"Lord Marquis, it is already the hour of Chou (1-3 AM)."

"Please take care of your body, Lord Marquis, and rest early."

Bai Jing nodded.

"Understood, you may withdraw."

The Lady Marquis supported the table and slowly got up, stretching her slightly tired body.

Then she walked towards the sleeping tent behind the central army.

But just after leaving the central army tent, a gust of cold wind blew on the hillside.

Bai Jing only felt the alcohol surging up, and her head became more and more dizzy.

She felt that it was difficult for her to walk back to the sleeping tent.

She looked around, this was the place of her younger sister Bai Yuxuan, she had divided the two tents for her sister not far away.

The Dragon骧 Marquis was still somewhat rational at this time, she felt that she was already drunk, and someone would definitely need to take care of her at night.

There were only her and her younger sister in the army.

After a little thought, she felt that it was better to go to Bai Yuxuan's tent and make do with her for one night.

If she was drunk at night, her sister could also help take care of her.

After thinking about it, the Dragon骧 Marquis staggered towards one of the tents.

The Lady Marquis was already in a dizzy state at this time, and her head became more and more昏沉 after being swept by the cold wind.

When she got close to the tent, she was already somewhat unconscious.

Bai Jing groped and lifted the tent curtain, then staggered in.
