The book also records the Hu people's large-scale attack on Daxia.
But the incident did not happen at this time, but happened the year before Qu Zhaoyue was about to ascend the throne.
That year, perhaps it was fate’s malicious trick, or perhaps it was someone’s deliberate assassination, but many misfortunes happened one after another.
The legendary Marquis Zhenbei, who was famous in the northwest border and resisted the Hu people for decades, eventually succumbed to the erosion of time and the torture of illness and passed away.
Shortly after his departure, his son Yun Cong'an, who was brave and fearless on the battlefield, unfortunately broke his leg.
The once vigorous steps have become unsteady, and the former majesty has been obscured by pain.
Then the war ruthlessly took the lives of three of the four brothers of the Yun family.
Now the healthiest person in the Yun family is Yun Rongyi, one of the twins.
The successive mishaps that befell the Yun family were like the collapse of a towering mountain in the northwest, instantly making everyone on the northwest border lose their sense of support.
In the Northwest Army, most soldiers only trust the Yun family.
The bravery and loyalty of the Yun family for generations have long been deeply imprinted in their hearts, and they are unwilling to accept other generals replacing the Yun family's position in the Northwest Army.
Under such circumstances, the Northwest Army fell into chaos and confusion.
The young man who had grown up in the afterglow of his family's glory had to shoulder extremely heavy responsibilities.
However, although Yun Rongyi is passionate and loyal, he does not have the outstanding qualifications to command a large army.
He could fight bravely and follow orders, but he could hardly take on the responsibility of commanding an army.
During that period, Yun Rongyi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and was extremely worried.
His heart was filled with endless pain and pressure.
On the one hand, he felt deeply ashamed of the earnest trust of his grandfather and father, and felt that he was unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the family and protect the territory of the northwest;
On the other hand, he felt that he had failed the soldiers' firm trust in the Yun family and was unable to lead them to victory.
In such an anxious state of mind, Yun Rongyi repeated his father's mistake in a fierce battle with the Hu people and unfortunately injured his leg.
This injury prevented him from stepping onto the battlefield and commanding operations for a short period of time.
Just when the Northwest Army fell into the abyss of despair and confusion, Prince Ding Qu Zhaoheng, who had the blood of the Yun family, stepped forward and resolutely took over the Northwest Army.
There were many people in the army who were skeptical about the young Prince Ding and did not believe that a young boy like him could accomplish anything great on the battlefield.
They discussed privately and worried about the future of the Northwest Army.
However, Prince Ding gave the most powerful response to his doubters with practical actions.
Prince Ding's command was decisive and wise, and every decision he made was just right, leading the Northwest Army to win victory after victory.
In the end, the arrogant and domineering Hu people were killed or driven away, and fled the territory of Daxia in a panic.
King Ding won several years of peace for Daxia, allowing the people to live in tranquility.
After recalling the plot of the original book, Yan Cheng quickly stood up and kicked his legs, making an unpleasant sound on the ground.
He suddenly grabbed Leng Yan's arm with force, his voice heavy and suppressed: "Something might have happened to the Marquis of Zhenbei!"
Leng Yan didn't ask him how he knew that. As always, he trusted what he said and immediately sent someone to Kangtai City to check on the condition of the Marquis of Zhenbei.
However, before his people could bring back any news, Yan Cheng met people from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion while he was rushing to Xiangcheng.
"Your Highness Prince Yong, the Marquis of Zhenbei is seriously ill!"
Yan Cheng's face turned ugly in an instant, and he immediately rushed towards Kangtai City with Leng Yan.
Along the way, Yan Cheng was extremely anxious, and the plot of the original book kept flashing through his mind.
If something happens to the Marquis of Zhenbei, the northwest border will fall into chaos.
But now there is no King Ding in the north who can lead troops like a god.
Finally arriving at the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion, Yan Cheng didn't have time to tidy up his messy clothes and went straight to the inner room of the mansion.
The Marquis of Zhenbei was lying on the bed, his face pale and his breath barely alive, but he was still awake.
Yan Cheng stepped forward and said, "My Lord, you must hold on. The Northwest cannot do without you."
The Marquis of Zhenbei struggled to open his eyes and looked at Yan Cheng: "Your Highness Prince Yong, even at this point, are you still unwilling to call me grandfather?"
Yan Cheng paused. He didn't expect that the first thing the Marquis of Zhenbei said to him when they saw each other was this.
When it comes to addressing Marquis Zhenbei, Yan Cheng actually didn't hesitate much.
When he first arrived, considering that both parties were not familiar with each other, he called him Lord Zhenbei Hou like everyone else, and he got used to it after calling him that many times.
Later, the Marquis of Zhenbei never mentioned changing his title to him, so he always called him Lord Marquis of Zhenbei.
It turns out that the Marquis of Zhenbei still cares about how his grandson addresses him.
It has never been mentioned, maybe it’s because the old man is stubborn?
Yan Cheng changed his tone: "Grandfather, if you want to listen, as long as you are fine, I can call you as many times as you want."
Marquis Zhenbei: "No need to shout too much, I am satisfied to hear you call me grandfather at the end."
His biggest regret was that he could not see his beloved daughter before he died.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the Marquis' Mansion.
Leng Yan went out to check and came back with a gloomy face after a while: "Acheng, there is news that Yun Cong'an is in trouble."
Yan Cheng and Zhenbei Hou were both shocked.
Especially the Marquis of Zhenbei, he asked anxiously: "What happened to Cong'an?"
After he finished speaking, the Marquis of Zhenbei suddenly coughed and lost his voice. The sound seemed as if he was going to cough out his lungs.
Yan Cheng was right beside him and quickly helped him calm down.
Zhenbei Hou felt better and looked nervously at the man in black in front of him who always made him feel extraordinary.
Leng Yan: "Lord Yun fell off his horse on his way to the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion and broke both of his legs."
