Chapter 279 Exiled Man's Sister-in-law 52
When everyone saw the soldiers in military uniforms, Liu Jing quickly stood up and went over to ask what was going on. The soldiers opened the bright yellow imperial edict.

Before the old woman and the doorman could react, Liu Jing, Liu's mother Lin Zhi and others had already knelt down.

"Your Majesty has an order, the criminal Liu Jing..." Soon everyone understood what His Majesty meant. He said that Liu Jing's crime was serious and he should have been sentenced to life like this, but His Majesty was merciful and considering the Liu family's decades of contribution in guarding the border, he was now giving him a chance to redeem himself and make meritorious contributions.

By driving the Huns out of the Great Zhou, the Liu family was absolved of their crimes.

The women of the Liu family, however, were pale and could not be happy. The situation at the border was dangerous and the Huns were rampant. None of the generals from the capital could defeat them.

Can Liu Jing, a man who has never led an army, succeed just because his father and brother had made outstanding military achievements?
On the surface, it was giving Liu Jing and the Liu family a chance, but in reality, if Liu Jing was unable to repel the enemy, His Majesty would lose face, so could he still forgive him?
If the soldiers hadn't been watching them, they would have burst into tears.

They all looked at Liu Jing, hoping that he would refuse, even if they would live ordinary lives in the future. Liu Jing leaned over and knelt down: "Liu Jing accepts the order, thank your majesty for your grace."

Mother Liu's body swayed and she almost fainted. She held on and looked at her son with tears in her eyes: "Jing'er!"

The two soldiers showed no joy on their faces and said sternly: "Since you have received the order, leave now. The masters are waiting for you in the army."

Liu Jing turned and looked at his mother: "Mom, don't worry, your son will be back soon." He looked at Liu Yang's tearful head, touched the head of the little Mingzhu who was looking at him in her arms, and said to Lin Zhi, "Sister-in-law, please take care of the family more." After she nodded, he went into the house, changed into military uniform, and left with the two soldiers.

When Liu's mother and Liu Yang chased to the door, he had already ridden his horse towards the city gate and couldn't help crying out loud.

Lin Zhi hugged Liu Mingzhu from behind, who was screaming "ah ah" and reaching out to her uncle to hug her, with a frown on her face. She knew from the beginning that Liu Jing must have been waiting for an opportunity when he returned home, but he waited for such a long time. She watched helplessly as the Great Zhou was defeated one after another and lost cities.

She was not surprised that the imperial edict came now.

But what the emperor said made people uncomfortable, as if it was alms. Moreover, the people who came to convey the imperial edict were just two ordinary soldiers. It was obvious that the generals and superiors looked down on him and did not think that they were helpless and there was nothing Liu Jing could do.

He walked over to comfort Liu's mother: "Mom, don't worry, Sanlang is as smart as his father and his two brothers, he will definitely be able to defeat the enemy."

Liu Mingzhu also said, “Ahhhhh.”

Mother Liu took the child and hugged her, nodding her head while holding back her tears: "I hope so." Seeing that she kept crying, Liu Mingzhu wiped her tears with her chubby hands. Mother Liu smiled, but little Mingzhu looked even sadder and she hugged the child tightly.

The next day, Lin Zhi and Liu Yang went out to get news, and heard that the Great Zhou and the Huns had started fighting again outside the city, and the young general leading them was called Liu Jing.

He is the son of the deceased General Liu.

Liu Jing's identity was actually publicized without any concealment.

After all, they had lost the battle before, and there was resentment among the army and the people. Many people said that if General Liu and his two sons were still alive, they would never have been defeated by the Huns, and Yanguan would not have been lost!

The generals in the army were very unhappy to hear these words, and now that Liu Jing was pushed up by the emperor, they were naturally happy.

Let the soldiers and the people living on the border see that even if he is General Liu’s son, what’s the use? A kid who hasn’t even grown all his hair will probably be scared to death when he sees the Huns, so how can he talk about winning?

The people didn't understand this and cheered: "General Liu's son? We are saved!"

Some scholars felt that something was wrong: "What if Liu Jing loses?"

Everyone waited quietly until the next day, when the good news came: victory!

Although it was just a battle with less than 5,000 people, it was the first time that the Great Zhou won after being defeated repeatedly and losing three cities in a row, and everyone had lost confidence!
The generals in the army were all stunned, "How is this possible?"

The soldiers were shocked and shouted "Liu Jing! General Liu!" Their eyes were filled with tears and they were too excited to speak. They finally defeated the Xiongnu.

Although he won the first battle, Liu Jing did not become complacent, nor did he seek credit in front of other generals.

Of course, when a general sent someone to call him, he refused.

Liu Jing did not meet with anyone and had a secret talk with his military advisor in the tent all night. During this time, only the soldiers went in to deliver meals, but they did not even enter the tent. He kept it very secret until the eve of the battle the next day, when he called the generals of each team and announced the battle arrangements.

Afterwards, he immediately took his men to the battlefield.

Amid the expectations and doubts of many people, this battle was won again!
The morale of the Great Zhou was high, and cheers of joy for victory resounded into the sky. However, someone stared at Liu Jing's calm profile with a frown, and suddenly thought of something, his eyes full of disbelief.

Liu Jing led his soldiers in several battles. His battle plans were ever-changing and unpredictable, but he won every time. In the last battle, he even led an army of 20,000 and recaptured a city!
Everyone at the border felt that victory was in sight, and the soldiers and civilians no longer had any fear of the Huns.

I wish I could go to the battlefield immediately and drive away the hateful Huns.

When the victory report was sent back to the capital, the ministers who had been waiting for the news with trepidation almost cried. They felt a sense of joy at having survived a catastrophe, and immediately knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty is wise! The Great Zhou has won! We have taken back a city! We have nothing to fear from the Xiongnu."

The emperor quietly loosened his grip on the throne and smiled: "It seems that Liu Jing really has his father's style."

Everyone followed suit: "Liu Jing is indeed good, a talented general."

The whole court was relaxed and happy.

The Third Prince finally put his heart at ease, as the Great Zhou dynasty was finally saved. But then he thought of that useless Ling Rui. Liu Jing was capable, and he had received his father's order on his own. Ling Rui had hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, but ended up like this. He deserved to die.

However, his mother kept begging for mercy, so he couldn't just kill the person now.

Everyone in the capital was rejoicing, but Liu Jing at the border led his soldiers to start a war again. However, this time, for some reason, the Huns were reluctant to come and fight.

From early morning until noon, the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty gradually began to discuss and wonder, "Are we going to fight the Xiongnu or not? Are they afraid? Hahaha."

They finally arrived in the afternoon, but they played very sloppily and were defeated.

Close the city gates and say they will fight again the next day.

The soldiers of the Great Zhou were stunned and then burst into laughter, feeling very happy: "This Xiongnu is actually scared! Hahahaha."

The deputy general looked at Liu Jing and said, "General, you are as good as a god."

Liu Jing smiled and said, "Then we'll stop here today. It just so happens that I'm going back to the camp and have to write a memorial to the capital." After returning, he sent the written memorial and the evidence of Ling Rui's treason sent by his second brother to the capital. Although he no longer has the official position of general, he can use his subordinates openly.
