Chapter 1076 The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (One hundred and ninety-eight)

Atop the hills of Xifeng County, the wind howled, like the whisper of fate. Zhao Lan stood high, his gaze as cold as a knife, scanning the distant Zhao Kingdom camp.

As the army marched to the front line, the war situation between Meng and Zhao became increasingly tense, but from the current perspective, Zhao had already begun to fight back.

At this point, he had no choice but to rely on the power of the Mongolian State. Otherwise, if he relied on himself alone, after the Mongolian people were completely defeated, the army would turn around and wipe out his forces, and he would be beheaded.

Now he needs to muddy the waters of the battle even further.

Since his last feigned surrender, the Zhao army had launched several more attacks on him. The reason was simple: the officials who had come to the front lines were each operating independently, each with their own agenda. Seeing the Mongols in Fengli County being forced back by reinforcements and withdrawing from the Zhao border, they began to think about capturing Zhao Lan and making a name for themselves.

Even though there are still tens of thousands of Mongolians hiding in the county, even though the borders of Xifeng County and Chinaing County are still at war with the Mongolians, and many Mongolians have infiltrated several counties, the brief peace in Fengli County has made these people turn their attention to him.

Guo Changheng certainly wanted to avenge his father, but he was now the governor of Fengli County and certainly could not act arbitrarily.

Among the three people, Dou Jing, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, Zhu Tao, the Marquis of Anping, and Lu Linyuan, the general who guards the north, Dou Jing was promoted by the emperor and was the emperor's man.

Zhu Tao had no martial arts skills and was the type of person who only knew how to talk about it on paper. It was purely because of his ancestors' merits that he was able to inherit the title. However, his son Zhu Yuanwu was not cut out for the imperial examinations and chose to practice martial arts.

Unfortunately, Zhu Yuanwu had always been defeated by Wei Ying. Back then, he couldn't defeat the sixteen-year-old Wei Ying, and now, at twenty, he couldn't even last ten moves against her. With just these ten moves, everyone still praised Master Zhu's martial arts prowess. It was clear that Wei Ying was truly a killer weapon in human form.

Zhu Tao guessed that the emperor wanted to train his son because he was chosen by the emperor this time. After all, he couldn't let the Duke of Anguo dominate the country alone, so as to prevent the Duke of Anguo's power from becoming even greater in a few decades.

But Zhu Tao felt depressed when he thought about his son who had just received a letter from the capital in half a month with a lingering look on his face.

If he had not only one son, Zhu Yuanwu, he would have broken Zhu Yuanwu's legs long ago. No wonder he could not defeat Wei Ying in martial arts. A little concubine's daughter could easily control his son and he had to marry her.

The girl from the Chen family was not some angel. She was petty and narrow-minded. Once, he accidentally discovered them having a tryst. The girl was so frightened that her legs went weak and she knelt on the ground crying. When he asked her to get up, she was so frightened that she couldn't get up.

Zhu Tao had no choice but to leave. He had scared the girl so much just by calling her "son." He had been labeled a villain for no reason, and his son stared at him with condemning eyes. When he found out who the girl was, the Marquis of Anping had said he would never allow his son to marry a concubine's daughter, especially one from a family with no background like the Chen family. It was clear from the second daughter of the Song family and Mrs. Song that the Chen family had poor parenting skills and their daughters were of bad character.

Moreover, a bastard son married to a bastard daughter, how could this be justified? He really had a title to inherit! Even so, how could he have the nerve to ask His Majesty to pass the title on to his son? In the future, when going out to attend banquets, which lady would be willing to associate with a bastard daughter and a marquis' wife?

Zhu Tao wanted his son to make a contribution and keep him busy, so he sent his son to attack Zhao Lan's den of thieves.

Lu Linyuan himself had been at the border for about ten years. He was previously stationed in the northwest, but because of his poor command, he lost a city and was seriously injured when he went out of the city to fight the enemy. It was the young man Wei Ying who turned the tide.

Lu Linyuan had originally thought his life was over, awaiting death in the northwest. The emperor's decision not to publicly behead him was a sign of mercy, as he remembered his service to the emperor and his poor daughter and grandson. Under Wei Ying's leadership, the northwest's defenses had been reinforced. The city walls were high and thick, with five checkpoints for entry and numerous watchtowers. Therefore, the northwest was no longer so easy to conquer.

Lu Linyuan thought that he would not have another chance to make meritorious service, but who would have thought that this would happen, the prince of Zhao himself rebelled against the country!

He, Lu Linyuan, still has a chance to make a comeback!

There are not many powerful generals in Zhao State, so he was remembered by Your Majesty!
