After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

Just after the New Year, the princes on the front line of Daning received the decree from the new emperor and prepared to attack Dayan with all their strength.

Lu Linchu had the news spread, making the entire Daning Army believe that the death of the late emperor was only due to an old illness triggered by Chen Lin's arrow, and he died of the disease. However, he had no intention of pursuing Chen Lin's case. Instead, he granted him additional fiefdoms to comfort him.

Chen Lin felt guilty and moved. He led the 250,000 troops of Jinyang City as the vanguard, preparing to fight a decisive battle with the 500,000 cavalry of Alhe in Shucheng, in order to repay the kindness of the Lu father and son with his death.

Song Weizhao has been in a coma since he was rescued and brought back to the camp after the failure of the peace talks. After Nalan Yiqing learned of Lu Chen's death, he decided to quickly destroy Daning and kill Lu Linchu and Fu Guiyun to avenge Emperor Yan.

The first thing to do is to destroy King Jinyang and make the Lu family army completely lose its foothold in Jiangbei.

The rage of hatred made the already powerful Alkh cavalry even more courageous. In less than half a month, they drove Chen Lin's army back to the royal capital and besieged Jinyang City.

Lu Linchu broke his promise and failed to send out reinforcements in time. He launched an all-out attack with Chen Lin and also withdrew the navy that was there to support the attack. This hindered Chen Lin's original battle plan and turned the 200,000-strong army into an isolated force.

Seeing that there was no food in the city, Chen Lin had no choice but to fight a desperate battle. He ordered his army to open the city gates and let the people escape, determined to fight to the death with Nalan Yiqing's 500,000 troops.

The situation in Jinyang was critical. Lu Linchu led 350,000 Lu family troops to station in Jizhou Port, but he only ordered people to closely monitor the movements of Shucheng, with no intention of sending troops to reinforce.

Hearing the news of the extremely tragic battle between King Jinyang's army and the Alkh cavalry every day, Lu Linxue hurriedly urged: "Your Majesty, although King Jinyang has 250,000 troops under his command, they are not elite troops after all. How can they resist the Alkh people's ferocious troops that are twice as strong as his? If we don't send reinforcements quickly, once Shucheng and Jinyangcheng fall, it will be very difficult for us to cross the river."

"I want to use King Jinyang's army to completely hold back the Alkh Cavalry."

Lu Linchu smiled grimly: "Just think about it, an army without combat effectiveness has been fighting against the fierce Alkh Tiger and Wolf Division for almost a month, and has long been honed into a tenacious elite division."

Lu Linfeng had already seen through the new emperor's intentions. He wanted to kill two birds with one stone and use Chen Lin's army to fight against the Alkh cavalry so that he could reap the benefits.

He agreed with the new emperor's idea on this point.

"After all, it was Prince Zhong who persuaded Prince Jinyang to surrender. I'm afraid he is particularly grateful to Prince Zhong. He also killed the late emperor. This battle is for him to atone for his sins. He should share more of the burden for Your Majesty."

Lu Linfeng smiled and comforted Lu Linxue: "Zhaoyang, you can't be soft-hearted. Look at Jiangbei. Chen Lin only used 250,000 men to completely hold back Nalan Yiqing's 500,000 troops. When they are exhausted, we will kill them. It is really easy."

Just at this moment, a messenger came to the ship and handed a report to Lu Linchu.

When he opened it, the smile on his face disappeared and he almost fainted.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Linxue quickly ordered Lu Hui to help him into the cabin.

Lu Linchu held the report in his hand and cried bitterly, "My mother has passed away."

He claimed that he owed nothing to anyone in his life, but he felt sorry for her.

"The Queen Mother...Aunt, she passed away?"

Lu Linxue's body went limp and she fell to her knees with a pale face.

Lu Linfeng's face darkened, but he said, "Your Majesty, the late emperor passed away just over a month ago, and the empress dowager passed away soon after. I'm afraid there will be changes in Jiangzuo, and the empress will be unable to cope with it. We must conquer Dayan as soon as possible so that we can return to defend Liyang City to prevent people with ulterior motives from taking the opportunity to cause chaos."

It was clear who he was referring to. Lu Linxue said angrily, "Brother Wang, what nonsense are you talking about? King Zhong is loyal to Daning and he will never have any other intentions."

As he said this, he immediately looked at Lu Linchu and advised: "Your Majesty has asked Lu Yan to lead 50,000 troops back to Liyang, which has made the entire Jiangzuo on the verge of a war. At this time, you must not be suspicious of Prince Zhong anymore."

Lu Linchu was still heartbroken over the death of his mother, so he had no time to think about military affairs.

Thinking back on how his mother had been tortured by illness in recent years, he suddenly felt extremely guilty.

"Didn't Guiyun invite Divine Doctor Xue to our house? Why did my mother pass away so suddenly?" he asked the messenger.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother's health was already bad, and she relied on the Queen's careful care over the past two years. They heard the tragic news of the late Emperor's death, and their deep love for each other made them unable to bear such a blow."

Lu Linxue explained earnestly: "Even if the Queen Mother is fine, she will probably follow the late Emperor."

These words reminded Lu Linchu that, indeed, without the Queen's careful care, his mother would have probably not survived the cold winter of the previous year.

"Gui Yun, yes, Gui Yun is struggling to support Liyang City alone. It's so hard. I can't give up on myself. I can't fall down at this time."

Lu Linchu said urgently, "Quick, send troops immediately to rescue Shucheng and Jinyangcheng. I order the Lu family army to strike the Yan army with all their strength. The Alkh cavalry must be completely wiped out within ten days. Anyone who is afraid of fighting will be killed without mercy."

Everyone took orders one after another.

……

Inside the palace of Jinyang City, Chen Lin's eyes were bloodshot. He leaned on his sword, which had been cut into pieces, and stared into the distance.

The county governor and the chief secretary hurriedly advised: "Prince Jinyang should break out as soon as possible. His Majesty may have given up on us."

"Retreat, where to retreat?"

Chen Lin said angrily, "I have received great favors from the late emperor and the help of Prince Zhong, so I have this place to live. Do you want to frame me and bring shame to Prince Zhong?"

He had already heard that Prince Zhong was currently under suspicion. If he were to betray the country again, it would only give the new emperor and those with ulterior motives more reasons to blame him.

"A woman dresses up for the man who pleases her, a man dies for the man who understands him. The most precious thing in life is to have a close friend."

Chen Lin clenched his sword and said righteously, "I was trapped in Jinyang and lost my way. I was like a stray dog ​​and was suspected everywhere. Prince Zhong not only found the remains of my aunt's family for me, but also found a way for me to survive. Today, I am willing to die in battle to repay the late emperor's generosity and forgiveness, and to repay Prince Zhong for risking his life to show me the way out of the maze."

After saying this, he stood up resolutely and led all his soldiers out of the mansion to prepare for a decisive battle with Nalan Yiqing.

It was like enemies meeting each other with envy. When Nalan Yiqing saw Chen Lin, he wished he could grind him to dust, so he ordered all the cavalry to charge forward.

The two sides were fighting fiercely in Jinyang City. Just when the battlefield was in a stalemate, Lu Linchu ordered Lu Linfeng, Lu Linxue and Lu Hui to divide their armies into three groups to surround the Alhe Cavalry.

After three days of fierce fighting, Nalan Yiqing was defeated step by step. In the end, he only led 5,000 remaining soldiers back to the camp, and fled back to Yundu with Song Weizhao's family in a hurry.

When Lu Linfeng requested to lead his troops to continue the pursuit, You Dian led the Fu family members to the front line.

In the quiet tent, You Dian secretly handed the portrait to Lu Linchu.

"Your Majesty, the Princess of Prince Li is so immoral that she even threatened the Queen, wanting her to ask Your Majesty to grant the fief of Dali to Prince Li."

You Dian followed Fu Guiyun's instructions and said, "The Queen has a strong temper. How can she be willing to suffer such humiliation? She would rather be suspected by His Majesty than tell His Majesty the truth."

"Prince Li is such a bastard."

Lu Linchu held the portrait in his hand and angrily said, "The queen values ​​her reputation the most. She would never have any affair with Prince Li. I am not a petty person. If someone with ulterior motives takes out a portrait of the queen, will I be deceived? Then everyone in this world can frame her."

You Dian was stunned when he heard this. Could it be that His Majesty could be so insightful?

Then why would he be suspicious of Prince Zhong for no reason?
