After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle
Chapter 229: One Thought of Life and Death
Although outsiders were not clear about the specific circumstances of the Shucheng peace talks, the situation on the Lijiang River had once again become tense. Chen Lin sent someone to find out that Song Weizhao and Lu Linchu were both injured, so he guessed that the peace talks were not pleasant.
He had already decided to join Daning, but Lu Linzhi had not arrived yet. He began to become hesitant, and disagreements began to emerge in Jinyang City.
Seeing that the date agreed with Lu Linzhi had passed, the trusted generals advised: "General, Prince Zhong is probably teasing you on purpose. Dayan and Daning will fight sooner or later. You might as well take this opportunity to establish yourself. When they are both defeated, you can reap the benefits."
The officials of Jinyang scoffed at this: "Are you generals trying to push the general into the fire pit? The Lu family army is brave and the Alhe cavalry is fierce. You have all seen this."
"Yes, the Emperor of Great Yan conquered Yundu in just a few months after he started his army, and the Crown Prince of Great Ning unified the entire southern border in just over a year. The general's previous attempt to defend the king failed, and he blocked the Lu family army from going north, which made the people of the world angry. Now that he has offended the witch Nalan, how can he survive if he establishes his own country?"
The discussion in the meeting hall was going on when a servant suddenly came to report: "General, Prince Zhong has led an envoy to the river bank and requests an audience."
"It's been four or five days since the agreed date. I don't think Prince Zhong takes the general seriously at all."
"Yes, in my opinion, Prince Zhong and the Daning delegation should be cooked in oil to vent our hatred."
"When two countries are at war, they don't kill envoys. Moreover, it was us who let the Lu family down first."
There was another uproar in the hall. Chen Lin sat calmly beside the desk, thinking intently.
Although he now has an army of 200,000 in his hands, he is still unsure about establishing his own power rashly. After all, he does not have the foundation like the Lu family, and is even less capable than Song Weizhao, and does not have strong support like the Alkh people.
He originally wanted to support his uncle to become emperor, but the whereabouts of this family is still unknown, which makes him even more worried.
When he was in Dayan, he realized that his uncle was framed by the evil woman Nalan, but he had no evidence.
Judging from the current situation, returning to Daning is naturally the safest option.
Lu Linzhi has always been a man of his word and is able to dominate the situation in Jiangzuo. He promised that the Lu family would not pursue the previous ambush of the Lu family army and the shooting of Lu Chen. He was willing to trust this man and even pinned his hopes of surrendering to Daning on him.
But why did he arrive so late?
Could it be that he has been playing tricks on me, waiting for the results of the talks between Lu Linchu and Song Weizhao before making a decision based on the situation?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but clench his fists secretly.
In front of his trusted generals and Jinyang officials, he did not say much, but just said: "Take the commander's seal and the city defense map and hang them on the top of the city wall. Send two hundred archers to the top of the wall and tell Prince Zhong that I am still sincere in surrendering. As for whether he can seize the opportunity, it depends on God's will."
After saying that, he deliberately added: "Remember, only he can enter Jinyang City."
Afterwards, he resolutely left the meeting hall.
Everyone didn't know what the general was planning, so they had to follow his orders.
Lu Linzhi waited on the shore for a long time, and suddenly saw a box hanging on the top of the city wall, and he didn't know what was in it.
He was watching intently when a message came down from the top of the city wall: "The general has ordered that the defense map of Jinyang City and the seal of the general are here. If Your Highness Prince Zhong has the courage, come and get them yourself."
Fu Rui felt something was wrong when he heard this, and immediately advised: "Sir, I'm afraid Chen Lin has changed his mind, let's go back first."
Lu Linzhi thought about it and shook his head: "If he regretted it, he would not hang such an important thing on the top of the city wall."
Fu Rui was still feeling anxious: "But..."
"I was the one who let him down first. Now the peace talks between the Crown Prince and the Emperor of Dayan have failed. If we cannot make Chen Lin surrender, Daying will be in a very passive position."
Lu Linzhi stretched out his hand without hesitation and said, "Bring me a bow and crossbow. Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, I will try my best to fight today."
"There must be an ambush on the top of the city."
Fu Rui urged: "If you insist on going, we are willing to clear the way for you."
"Wouldn't that force Chen Lin to go to war with Daning?"
Lu Linzhi took the crossbow and gave an order: "Everyone, wait where you are. Do not move forward without my permission."
While Fu Rui and everyone else were still thinking, Lu Linzhi had already clamped his horse's back, put on a crossbow, and galloped towards the city gate.
As soon as the horse rushed into the range of the bows and crossbows, he saw a rain of arrows flying from the top of the city wall, shooting towards him.
At first, the arrows were not very powerful. He drew his sword and dodged nimbly on horseback, easily avoiding the attacks of the sharp arrows. Then, he took advantage of the gap when the archers were withdrawing from the team and rushed forward desperately.
Soon they rushed within 50 meters of the city wall.
But the closer they got to the city gate, the more murderous the archers became. They showed no mercy and every step they took was a brush with death.
Seeing the sharp arrows passing by him, not only the Li Ren Gang and the Daning delegation on the riverside, but also the officials on the city wall who were bent on seeking peace were terrified.
There was a series of clinking sounds, and Lu Linzhi waved his sword and successfully dodged the rain of arrows. When he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, an arrow had silently pierced his front.
He dodged quickly again, his movements were beyond the limit, and he avoided the incoming arrow again.
However, there were obviously people on the city wall who did not want him to enter the city smoothly, and forced all the archers to shoot arrows at the same time.
Dense swarms of arrows came at him in a flash, making it impossible to cope with them. Lu Linzhi looked over and found that the flying arrows seemed to have changed their strategy and had hit every position he could dodge, leaving him with no escape.
Seeing that he was about to be pierced by thousands of arrows, he felt a trace of unwillingness when he saw the commander's seal box hidden behind the torrential rain of arrows.
The man's voice and smile flashed through her mind. Thinking of how the prince had put her in danger several times, Lu Linzhi felt even more worried.
At this moment, the desire to survive is stronger than ever.
Without hesitation, he thrust his sword hard into the horse's buttocks. The horse raised its hind legs, neighing in pain, and rushed forward even faster.
Taking advantage of the moment when the horse's hind legs were raised, he flipped backwards and grabbed the horse's legs forcefully, then sank down with the horse's legs, and instantly disappeared from the crossbowman's sight.
The people on the city wall were shocked and were looking for the figure on the horse when the horse had already galloped to the foot of the city.
Suddenly, three sharp arrows shot up from the horse's belly at the same time, shooting down the three archers above them.
Everyone looked again and saw a tall figure suddenly jumped out from the horse's belly, stepped on the horse and leaped up, grabbing the box with the commander's seal hanging on it with both hands.
"Quick, shoot him."
The commander on the top of the city wall just shouted in panic, but the man below the city wall had already grabbed the box, tightened the chain hanging the box, and suddenly jumped up, as fast as a ghost.
While everyone was dumbfounded, Lu Linzhi was already standing steadily on the top of the city wall. He snatched a sword and pointed it calmly at the commander.
