It had been almost half a year since Yuan Ji was transferred to Youzhou.
Empress Wu Zhao had been the emperor for two to three years.
The Great Zhou's power gradually stabilized, and the actions of the Turks in the north also became much smaller.
Some time ago, due to the years of war and invasion by both sides, the border was not peaceful.
The people were destitute, and the two countries gave up and made peace.
Li Qingxia, the daughter of King Changle of the Great Zhou Dynasty, married the Turks.
Turkic Khan Jili sent a mission to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but was intercepted and killed.
As soon as this matter was exposed, the atmosphere in the northern border of the Martial Zhou Dynasty immediately became tense again.
Both sides mobilized their troops and rubbed their fists. The war was about to erupt again.
The emperor told the states in the northern border to be on guard.
To prevent the Turks from ambushing. He ordered him to go to Juyong Pass and serve as a general.
Yuan Ji was on high alert and led his men to patrol the surroundings of the pass.
Apart from guarding against the Turks, there were also the increasingly unstable Khitans.
Zhao Wen, the governor of Yingzhou in the northeast,
It could squeeze the Khitans, Xi, and other foreign races in its territory into a miserable state.
Originally, even if it had been more than ten years since he transmigrated,
Yuan Ji still had some memories in his mind. He knew about the Youzhou Case, but he couldn't remember some details clearly.
At first, he learned that the governor of Youzhou was named Fang Qian.
There was a strong sense of familiarity, and he had even sent people to investigate.
That provincial governor was indeed problematic.
Ever since he learned about the "diplomatic mission case", Yuan Ji understood.
The Snake Spirit and Princess Yiyang had already started to stir up trouble.
A storm was about to break out in Youzhou, and it was not far from him. It was very likely that it would affect him.
He led his subordinates to search the south carefully.
He wanted to look for the Turks who had infiltrated Youzhou, but he found nothing.
"Li Jian, if you have anything to say, just say it!”
Yuan Ji led his men slowly north to Juyong Pass.
"General! This is already the third group of Turks we've discovered in the past month.
These people had extraordinary skills and were incomparably valiant. They were definitely not ordinary Turks!”
Yuan Ji listened silently. Seeing that he was silent, Li Jian continued,
"The imperial court has strictly ordered that all places be on guard.
It looked like a great battle was about to begin. The Turks have repeatedly infiltrated the underworld, could it be…"
"Will what?" Yuan Ji asked directly.
"Could it be that the Turks are targeting Youzhou again?”
Li Jian made a bold guess.”
She looked at Li Jian in surprise."
"I didn't expect a small captain like you to have such insight!”
Sighing, Li Jian's mood seemed a little heavy."
" Blood is on the edge of the blade. Once the battle starts, who knows how many comrades will be stained with blood on the battlefield…"
After a few years in the military, Yuan Ji knew the sufferings of these border guards.
He is brave and brave, but every time he goes to war,
There were always many casualties. Because the commander is weak, the morale of the army is uncertain.
Since Blacktooth became a regular,
There was no commander in the northern borders who could defend the border.
Of course, the prerequisite was that the Emperor had to be trusted.
Wang Xiaojie and Tang Xiujing had military talent, but they were still in the Western Region.
"To the west is Guizhou, the Guang Border Army, and the Qing Yi Army.
We have enough time to react!
Moreover, it is still unknown whether this war will break out…"
He casually comforted the captain beside him.
However, as he lowered his head, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his eyes were filled with thoughts.
When he returned to the city, Hu Rong, the deputy of the town, came up to him and said to Yuan Ji,"
"I heard that the general has killed some Turkic spies?”
He glanced at the bloody heads hanging beside Yuan Ji's horse and said,
He said to Yuan Ji meaningfully.
Hu Rong was the cousin of Hu Jinbao, Commandant Guo Yi of Youzhou Province and General of the Wandering Cavalry.
And Hu Jinbao colluded with the governor Fang Qian.
There was obviously something wrong with this person. Yuan Ji hadn't been in office for long.
At first, he actually wanted to rope him in. If they failed to win him over, they would be ordered by the person behind them.
He started to oppose Yuan Ji and tried to make him a figurehead.
His gaze was cold as he looked at Hu Rong.
It made him feel a little uncomfortable. Regarding this person's identity,
Yuan Ji had some guesses that it was most likely those traitors.
The rebel forces of Princess Yiyang had secretly infiltrated Youzhou.
It was normal for them to place some people in a strategic pass like Juyong Pass.
"Is there any movement inside or outside the city?"
Yuan Ji sat up straight on his horse and asked.
Hu Rong cupped his hands and gave a fake smile.
"With the deterrence of the general, everything is normal in the city!”
As he spoke, he pointed at the merchants who were still going in and out of the South Pass.
The commoners whispered to Yuan Ji,"
"The imperial court has ordered that the border be guarded. Should we seal the pass and prohibit entry and exit?”
"Deputy Hu, don't be too nervous. Everything will be as usual!”
Yuan Ji waved his hand casually and then drove his horse into the pass.
Seeing Yuan Ji's performance and the back of his horse, she said,
Hu Rong's eyes were filled with joy.
"Deputy, this kid is too arrogant.
How dare you ride on your head!" Hu Rong waved his hand forcefully.
It dispersed the dust that Yuan Ji and his group had stirred up.
A trusted aide beside him whispered into his ear.
Hu Rong glanced at Yuan Ji and sneered,"
"Don't worry, this brat won't be arrogant for long.
Hmph hmph…right, report the news about those Turks!”
"Yes, sir!"
He toured the northern and southern passes and walked along the Great Wall to the beacon towers.
Yuan Ji had just returned to his small General's Mansion in the South Pass.
After sitting down in the study room, she twirled a brush in her hand.
He seemed a little bored, but his expression revealed a special meaning.
The incident with the Turkic diplomatic mission had been going on for quite some time now.
Since he had even heard about Youzhou, Lord Di should be here soon.
Perhaps, they had already arrived!
Throughout the entire drama, things like undercover visits,
Fatty Di seemed to like it.
"Reporting to Lord…General!"
While he was deep in thought, he saw a personal guard enter to report.
He was about to call out 'Lord' when he was glared at by Yuan Ji and immediately changed his words.
This personal guard was one of the 300 Bei Wei soldiers that Yuan Ji had signed in for.
"What is it?" Yuan Ji stared at the bodyguard and asked indifferently.
"Lord Li has sent a message."
This Lord Li…
It was Li Shan Chang, who had been summoned by Yuan Ji in the fifth year of his transmigration and had obtained the Civil Official and General Random Card.
In the early Ming Dynasty, the prime minister founded the country. Now he's buried in the court.
He became the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, a position below the fourth rank.
He could be considered to have a high position and authority.
"What did the letter say?"
"The emperor has ordered Di Renjie to be recalled."
"Understood. You may leave."
