I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

"It's just a little cleverness. I dare not show off my skills in front of an expert." Lin Jin smiled modestly, "So Xunmian and the others have been investigating these things in the past few years, right?"

"Well. Although the nine clans of the Lin family have been executed for collaborating with the enemy, he has been in the court for many years after all. We are not sure if there are other hidden chess pieces that have not been found out." Liu Zhengqing saw that Lin Jin had guessed it himself and did not hide it.

The reason why they acted so quickly to liquidate the Lin family was actually to make an example of them and to alert the rest. They wanted to see if those hiding in the dark could still sit still. If they couldn't, it would be the best.

"So Xi Lilong and Su Chengan came back from the border for this reason." Lin Jin was wondering why Su Chengan and Xi Lilong both returned to the capital. If both of them were in the capital, what would they do if the border was lost.

But if this is just a smoke screen, then everything is clear.

If nothing unexpected happens, one of Xi Lilong and Su Cheng'an will secretly leave the capital and return to the border again, catching those with ill intentions off guard.

"Although the Yuanyang Army has made countless contributions in the past few years, they are all women after all. In addition, they have suffered casualties in the past three years. No one will be afraid of returning to the capital now."

In the name of recuperation, the resourceful and warlike Yuanyang Army was transferred back to the capital to guard outside the city. Once a palace coup occurred, the Yuanyang Army could rescue the emperor and capture the rebels in a short time, while Su Cheng'an was responsible for blocking foreign enemies and surrounding the rebels.

After Liu Zhengqing said this, Lin Jin understood everything. In any battle, the key is to use the normal tactics to unite and the unusual tactics to win.

"Then why have you been targeting King Jin all these years?" The country is in crisis now, shouldn't everyone be united in hatred of the enemy? Why has it turned out like this?

Liu Zhengqing said this with a hint of annoyance on his face: "King Jin seems to be kind, but he is actually too murderous. He was a hostage in the enemy country back then, and now that tiny country has already become one of our Great Xia's vassal states. How could he possibly send troops again?"

In the past few years, the King of Jin has been thinking about sending troops to attack the vassal states, but his plans have been repeatedly rejected.

Since they have already surrendered, they naturally cannot be killed. Once they are killed, it will discourage other vassal states and may even make them no longer trust Daxia and begin to rebel. That is when there will be real internal and external troubles.

Lin Jin pondered. In the original book, after the hero ascended the throne, he did directly destroy the small country, which caused dissatisfaction among many people. However, with the help of the heroine, the hero produced fine iron, and many iron tools that were harder than those of this era were produced.

In the era of cold weapons, fighting was all about tactics, numbers, bravery of soldiers, and more weapons and armor. If you have a good weapon, even if you only have one point of ability, you can show ten points. No matter how good a person's martial arts is, you still can't beat so many people with spears and machetes with your bare hands on the battlefield.

"Then I understand." Lin Jin felt a headache just after thinking about this. The smoke of gunpowder had been spreading in places she could not see. What she was thinking about now was still the most superficial layer, which contained countless conspiracies and intrigues.

"You don't have to think so much. These things have nothing to do with you. Just do whatever you want to do." Liu Zhengqing comforted.

Lin Jin smiled and shook her head: "I'm fine, I just think you've worked hard over the years."

What can she think? She doesn't know how to command troops in a war, nor does she know how to make plans.

All she can do now is to do the job at hand well and try her best to ensure that they have enough rice, flour, grain and oil, and have enough food and warm clothing.

"We will go to plant rice seedlings tomorrow, so go to bed early, brother. After we're done, you can go back first. The rest of the work won't be tiring. You just need to pull out some useless seedlings." Lin Jin wanted Liu Zhengqing to go back earlier. After all, the really tiring work was done, and Liu Zhengqing could go back to Beijing earlier to do his own things.

"It won't delay anything."

Lin Jin: “I don’t believe it.”

It's enough to fool around for a few days. Are you really planning not to work for a month?

Liu Zhengqing: “…”

What should I do if my sister is hard to fool?

"Go do your thing first. I'll go back after I'm done here." Lin Jin interrupted Liu Zhengqing without hesitation, "We've already done the most tiring plowing and harrowing. What else are you worried about?"

Liu Zhengqing pursed his lips: "There is a snake."

Lin Jin pulled the corner of his lips: "This is not a snake den. Today's was an accident. You can't treat accidents as normal."

Isn't it normal to have snakes in the countryside? Not to mention the countryside, there are also snakes in towns.

If there were no snakes, the crops would have been eaten to death by rats.

"Just focus on eating and we'll talk about it tomorrow." Liu Zhengqing simply skipped over the topic and did not intend to give a direct answer.

Lin Jin laughed angrily.

Strong species.

Liu Zhengqing didn't know that a big event was happening in the capital at this moment. Even if he didn't plan to go back now, Song Shiqiu would immediately send someone to call him back.

Xia Min's fiefdom was proposed by Lin Lin, and Xia Min went to the late emperor to ask for it because her system detected an iron mine in that place. Xia Hong felt that he owed Xia Min something, so Xia Min just mentioned the fiefdom and then gave it to Xia Min.

Xia Min looked at the furnace built according to Lin Lin's drawings and asked, "Are you sure you can use this furnace to smelt better refined iron?"

This furnace looks no different from an ordinary blast furnace.

"You don't believe me?" Lin Lin glared at him coldly.

Now everyone says that they are deeply in love, but only they know best that their relationship is just like grasshoppers on the same rope.

She needs the identity of Princess Jin, and Xia Min needs her system, which is mutually beneficial.

"Of course it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that your ambition is too big. I always feel that one day you will include me in your calculations." When Xia Min heard her tone, he knew that this furnace was most likely able to do it.

He glanced at Lin Lin's profile casually. After three years, he still didn't know what Lin Lin wanted. He only knew that the other party was doing something very difficult.

Lin Lin didn't care what Xia Min thought, she just wanted to know that everything was developing as she expected.

"But you should think about the consequences of raising private soldiers. If something goes wrong, I won't care about you." Lin Lin knew that Xia Min was going to manufacture weapons on a large scale and lead the troops to fight directly. "If you are discovered, Song Shiqiu will accuse you of treason, and you won't be able to deny it even if you want to."

Lin Lin didn't believe that Xia Min, born in an imperial family, didn't know the consequences of doing this.

"If that's the case, then rebel. As a minister, you control the court. What's the difference between you and a traitor? He went crazy three years ago. It's still unclear who will win or lose." Xia Min's eyes were full of coldness. "After all, the world belongs to the Xia family."

"It's up to you. Anyway, if anything happens to you, I won't save you." Lin Lin said indifferently. It didn't matter who sat in that position, and it didn't matter whether the world was in chaos or not.

She looked at the task progress on the system panel. The progress bar was already 70% complete. With only a few steps left, she would get what she wanted.

Xia Min let out a joyful laugh: "Of course, how could I let you take risks?"

"Don't disgust me." Lin Lin moved a little further away from Xia Min, "I said you and I are just allies."

"Well, yes, but it's been three years. Can you tell me who your enemy is? Song Shiqiu? After all, Song Shiqiu's people have been causing you a lot of trouble over the years."

Lin Lin lowered his eyes: "He is not worthy yet."

Xia Min laughed even louder, as if she really liked Lin Lin's performance: "It seems that your ambition is bigger than I thought."

"Whatever you think." Lin Lin didn't plan to continue to tangle with Xia Min. No one could get anything out of her. "If you're useless, I can always change allies, so you'd better be really capable."

If it interferes with her plan, she will kill Xia Min before Song Shiqiu and the others take action.

Xia Min chuckled and said, "So you are also a lunatic."
