The general said she doesn't take a wife
Chapter 59 The Great Victory
As soon as Bei Chenlong finished speaking, all the generals turned their attention to Lin Aoxue, with various expressions on their faces.
It is of great importance to write a letter condemning Beichen King. Once the letter is announced, the whole Beichen Kingdom will know that Beichenlong will rebel. If the letter is written well, it will boost the hearts of the people and build momentum for Beichen to raise troops. But if something goes wrong However, being caught by someone is a self-defeating act.
Bei Chenlong handed over this matter to Lin Aoxue, which shows Bei Chenlong's trust in Lin Aoxue. With this proclamation, everyone in the world would know that Lin Aoxue was on Bei Chenlong's side.
But what she wants right now is to trouble Beichen, no matter how chaotic it is, the most important part of it is Beichen's raising troops, so she naturally won't shirk it, so she bowed and saluted, and agreed to the matter:
"Yes, the subordinates will do their best to share the general's worries."
Lin Aoxue took over this task, and after discussing the countermeasures against the southern garrison, Bei Chenlong left Lin Aoxue to discuss matters alone, and discussed with her the content of the call to action.
Half a month later, Bei Chenlong checked the proclamation written by Lin Aoxue, applauded it in public, and then ordered the civil servants to copy several copies, one to be kept in the army and circulated among the generals, and the other to be posted on the notice board in the barracks On the top, the remaining copies were sent to Mingzheng, Poyan and even Yiping to the important cities around Xingbei Pass as quickly as possible, and were widely disseminated.
The call-to-action is not long, only three hundred characters long. It starts from reprimanding the emperor for his extravagance and licentiousness, and does not sympathize with the hardships of the people in the northern border, to the reason why Beichenlong sent troops.
When the barbarian army attacked the northern border, as the king of a country, the emperor actually withheld the food and grass in the northern border, and the reinforcements were not timely, disregarding the safety of the people in the northern border. It is inhumane for Long's military power to provoke internal strife on its own initiative.
She changed the fact that the fifth prince was assassinated and died in the northern military camp to the fact that the fifth prince was murdered by barbarian spies. The emperor turned his anger on Beichenlong, and sent heavy troops to attack the northern border without caring about the brotherhood. Now the [-] troops in the south have been stationed thousands of miles away. It is unrighteous to trek and arrive at Yiping soon.
Such an unfaithful and unrighteous king is as fierce and selfish as a tiger and a wolf. Bei Chenlong endured it and could not bear it anymore. He lived and worked for the people in the northern border. The army of the northern border never backed down when facing the barbarians, nor did they back down when faced with unfair censure from the emperor. !
The main statement in the call-to-action is that Bei Chenlong is a loyal minister of the emperor. Even though he was forced to such a point, he did not betray Bei Chen, but only supported soldiers to protect himself. If the emperor wants to continue the crusade, it is inhumane and unrighteous and unpopular.
As soon as this proclamation came out, the entire Xingbeiguan public opinion was boiling, and the people privately scolded the emperor as a fool. Not only did they take the initiative to send rice and grain to the northern military camp, but they also picked up hoes and shovels, saying that they would defend it to the death with the northern military. home.
This paper spread at an extremely fast speed, not only reached Yiping, but also reached the capital a few days later, and was heard by all the officials in the capital.
Sitting in front of the case, Bei Chenhe unfolded the news he had just received. Seeing the handwriting on it and the name of a person mentioned in the news, he smiled and raised the corners of his lips, muttering to himself:
"Oh...it's kind of interesting."
Lin Aoxue.
Bei Chenhe remembered this person. When Lin Aoxue left the capital, he was still a small household. A few days ago, I heard that he had been promoted to captain. It can be seen that he was highly valued by Bei Chenlong. Now Bei Chenlong raised troops and turned against the emperor. After running out of ammunition and food, let's see if we can use this pawn that was inadvertently buried at the beginning.
The water in the world of Beichen is getting more and more muddy, and the snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's benefit.
There is a small town on the west side of the capital, called Mindu. There is a famous mountain in the southeast of Mindu. The Yuanming Temple on the mountain has been built for more than two hundred years. .
Master Hongming gave a lecture in the temple today. There were many pilgrims in the whole Yuanming Temple, but there was not much noise.
In the dead of night, under the group of statues in the Buddhist hall, there is a monk who is over fifty years old, sitting cross-legged, counting beads without haste.
He has a calm demeanor and an extraordinary temperament, which is out of tune with this mundane world.
At a certain time, the oil lamp in the hall shook slightly, and the door of the Buddhist hall was pushed open from the outside. A young novice came in from the door, holding a small tray in his hand, and went up to the monk, and bowed down:
"Master Hongming, the brother who swept the apricot garden received two letters addressed to you, and asked his disciple to bring them back."
The monk called Master Hongming opened his eyes, his calm gaze was like a deep pool, vast and boundless.He raised his eyes, his eyes were peaceful and warm, compassionate and sentimental, and asked:
"From where?"
The little monk answered seriously:
"One is from the capital, and the other is from outside the customs."
Master Hongming raised his hand, pressed on the little novice's head, read a series of Buddhist scriptures, and then said:
"You put the letter from outside the pass here."
After receiving the empowerment, the little novice bowed down and bowed again, asking with hesitation on his face:
"The other..."
Master Hongming had closed his eyes, his face remained motionless, and he replied without sadness or joy:
"Burn it."
The little novice was stunned for a moment, the mage didn't ask who sent the letter, and let him burn it directly.He raised his head and saw Master Hongming recited scriptures again, he knew that the matter was settled, no matter what was written in the letter from the capital, Master Hongming would not pay attention to it.
He politely and respectfully answered yes, and then took out one of the two letters from the tray, walked to the side of the oil lamp, lit a corner of the letter in front of Hongming, then threw it into the incense burner , and soon burned out.
The little novice bowed and retreated. After Hongming had finished reciting a Heart Sutra, he opened his eyes again. He reached out to fetch the letter that the little novice put on the incense stand, opened the envelope, and took out a thin sheet of letterhead inside. Not much content, just a few lines.
Respecting the teacher, seeing the words is like meeting:
It has been 15 years and three months since the disciple left Beijing. Today is an eventful autumn. The Beichen kingdom is in turmoil. The emperor is becoming more and more extravagant. Taxes are increasing year by year, the people are unbearable, and the people are in dire straits.
The state affairs are declining, how can there be eggs under the overturned nest?Even though respecting the teacher is far away from the government, he is concerned about the sufferings of the people. He is ready to come back and benefit the world, and respect the teacher's long-cherished wish 17 years ago.
Disciples wait for the good news of respecting the teacher.
Just a few lines of words fell into Hongming's eyes, and the dusty past many years ago was startled, and the old regrets were dug out and presented before his eyes.He was silent for a long time, finally sighed, and threw the letter into the incense burner.
It took two months for the southern garrison dispatched by the emperor to finally approach Xingbei Pass. Bei Chenlong received a report that the southern army was still nearly two days away from Yiping. Throw the note into the candlestick and burn it.
Suddenly, a report from a guard came from outside the tent:
"General! Lieutenant Lin is asking to see you outside the tent!"
Bei Chenlong answered "Yes", Lin Aoxue opened the door curtain and walked in, knelt down before Bei Chenlong's case and saluted:
"My subordinate Lin Aoxue, I have met the general!"
Bei Chenlong raised his gaze from the books on the case, and looked at Lin Aoxue, with undisguised admiration in his eyes. Ever since Lin Aoxue's proclamation was published last time, the crowd in Xing Beiguan was excited, which created a lot of momentum for him to raise troops. Therefore, he became more and more satisfied with Lin Aoxue, and has been training Lin Aoxue as a confidant general.
During this period of time, Lin Aoxue was busy recruiting recruits and intensifying the intensity of military training. She was extremely busy, and it was the first time she came to look for Bei Chenlong on her own initiative.
Bei Chenlong stood up with a smile, walked around from behind the table, and asked while pacing:
"Aoxue, do you have something important to do here today?"
Lin Aoxue stood up straight after saluting, and replied respectfully:
"Yes, this subordinate came here to discuss something with the general."
Bei Chenlong was a little surprised. Lin Aoxue had always been very obedient, and rarely offered to ask for anything. Even the last time he issued a statement of denunciation, it was under Bei Chenlong's intentional coercion, so Bei Chenlong's eyes showed surprise, and he raised his eyebrows and smiled. road:
"Oh? Tell me and listen."
Lin Aoxue's eyes were calm, and her expression was quite serious. Before she came, she had already typed several times in her heart, so when Bei Chenlong asked, she didn't think too much, and said bluntly:
"General, it has been two months since the southern garrison was dispatched, and my subordinates guess that the southern garrison will arrive at Xingbei Pass to attack our army in a few days. The battlefield is set outside Xingbei Pass, which may affect the people in the pass. I have an idea in my mind, instead of passively waiting for the southern garrison to come to Xingbei Pass, I should take the initiative to attack and lead the battlefield to other places."
Bei Chenlong was so perceptive, as soon as Lin Aoxue opened his mouth, he understood Lin Aoxue's meaning, but he didn't point it out, but looked at Lin Aoxue happily, motioning her to continue talking.
"Yiping is not far from Xingbei Pass, and it is the only way to pass through from central Beijing to Xingbei Pass. The subordinates think that if we don't build a good relationship with Yiping, if we can reach an agreement with Yiping's city defense Cooperate and make a plan, when the southern army comes, we will lure them into Yiping, and we will catch turtles in the city urn, and we can severely damage the southern army in one fell swoop."
Speaking of this, Lin Aoxue paused for a while, cleared her throat, and then said again:
"If the city defense of Yiping refuses to surrender to our army, because Yiping is located in the pass, it is not a dangerous place, and the number of troops stationed in it is only about [-]. It will be easy for us to take down Yiping, but this is the next strategy. , after all, once a large-scale military operation is made, it is inevitable to startle the snake."
"In addition, if the general does not want to send troops to Yiping, he can set up an ambush at the dangerous place between Yiping and Xingbeiguan, and attack the southern troops when they pass by. However, doing so may not be effective."
The more Lin Aoxue went on, the brighter Bei Chenlong's eyes became. He felt that he had found a treasure. Lin Aoxue was simply a piece of rough jade. As long as he carefully carved it, it would become a great tool.Moreover, she has a good heart, she is loyal and down-to-earth, which makes Bei Chenlong very satisfied.
As for the strategies that Lin Aoxue said at this time, Bei Chenlong had also thought over and over again in the past few days, using Yiping as the base to try to ambush this point, it was in Bei Chenlong's arms.Their thoughts coincided with each other. Bei Chenlong cherished Lin Aoxue's talent and wanted to test it, so he said:
"If our army takes the initiative to attack this time, will it affect public opinion?"
Lin Aoxue had already thought about it in her heart, and she didn't hesitate when she answered:
"Returning to the general, this time the southern garrison came to Xingbei Pass in the name of crusade against the rebels. They want to suppress the general's power and weaken the general's influence in Xingbei Pass. They have traveled thousands of miles and have confirmed that they cannot be friends. You can only be an enemy, and if you are an enemy, you must not be merciful."
"If we send troops after they arrive at Xingbei Pass, the other side will be prepared and cause even greater casualties. If Xingbei Pass is not as good as the southern garrison with supplies from the capital, we can only rely on the food and grass provided by the people in the north for self-sufficiency. self-sufficient."
"Compared to the southern garrison, our northern garrison has a natural disadvantage. We must reduce the loss on the battlefield as much as possible. Otherwise, once the war drags on for a long time, when the southern garrison gradually gets used to the environment in the northern border, we will stop at the northern border. With a firm foothold, it will not be easy for us to drive them away under the ebb and flow of one.”
"Our army's defense against the soldiers from the south is a defensive move. Now the time is ripe and the opportunity cannot be missed."
Lin Aoxue's words were sincere, well-organized, and her analysis made sense. Bei Chenlong nodded repeatedly. After Lin Aoxue finished speaking, the smile on Bei Chenlong's face was undisguised. He looked at Lin Aoxue, patted her on the shoulder in relief, and smiled. said:
"In your opinion, what kind of tactics should we adopt? Besides, Yiping is in the pass, and the general who defends the city is notoriously upright. It's not easy to win him over."
This time, Lin Aoxue thought for a while before answering:
"My subordinates think that we should first send someone to test out the meaning of the general who is defending the city in Yiping, and to find out his tone. If there is a chance to win him over, then he will be lured with profit. If not, he will be coerced in the opposite direction. , then retreated to the next best thing, ambushed soldiers and horses on the road that must pass through the two places, and waited for the southern army to enter the urn."
Bei Chenlong nodded and did not refute Lin Aoxue's words. After she finished speaking, he smiled and said:
"Then I will entrust you with this task. This battle must not only be won, but also beautiful. Can you do it?"
Lin Aoxue knelt on one knee, with a gleam in her eyes:
"Yes, my subordinates will live up to the prestige of the general!"
After getting Bei Chenlong's permission, Lin Aoxue quickly left Bei Chenlong's military tent. She had already asked Bei Chenlong for an hour's leave to go to the market and visit Yunyan.
This has become her habit, every time she has to go on a mission, she has to go to the medical center to see, and seeing Yunyan makes her feel at ease, and she can lead troops to fight with peace of mind.
When Lin Aoxue came, Yunyan was counting medicinal materials in the medical hall. In the early summer, she just went to buy a batch of new medicinal materials to fill the medicine storehouse. These medicines need to be put away by category. The doctors in these medical halls have already collected them It's done, Yunyan just checks it, in case there are any omissions.
Yun Yan had already ordered Lin Aoxue to bring Lin Aoxue directly to her without passing through when she came, so as soon as Lin Aoxue arrived at the medical hall, the servant in the hall happily called her, and then led her to the inner room. Pharmacy line to go.
Lin Aoxue saw Yunyan busy in the pharmacy from afar, the servant originally wanted to call Yunyan, but was stopped by Lin Aoxue, she waved her hand, signaling the servant to go down and do things by herself, here she can handle it alone, the servant dared not touch her Concerned, he nodded and quietly backed away.
After the boy left, Lin Aoxue stood at the door of the pharmacy, watching Yunyan bustle around in the pharmacy, holding a bill in her hand, counting the quantity of each medicinal material.
When Yunyan was doing things seriously, it was different from other times. Her beautiful and delicate side face showed a mature and intellectual beauty because of being too focused. Every gesture of her hands exuded an irresistible charm, which was very charming. , has an unimaginable attraction.
Lin Aoxue stood at the door of the pharmacy, glanced into the room, then stared blankly.
It wasn't until Yunyan finished her work that she put down the account book in her hand and turned her head to look, only to be surprised to find that Lin Aoxue was standing at the door of the house with her arms folded around her chest, looking at her quietly and gently.
That gaze was so focused and beautiful that it made Yunyan's heart skip a beat. She quickly came back to her senses, walked quickly towards Lin Aoxue, took her hand naturally, and asked reproachfully:
"How long have you been here? Why don't you come in?"
Perhaps it was the answer that she had read in her mind too many times. When Yunyan asked this question, Lin Aoxue replied without thinking:
"Yan'er is so beautiful, I'm fascinated when I see it."
The answer was too straightforward, it was a shy but generous appearance rarely seen in Lin Aoxue.Yun Yan laughed heartily, it was not easy to hear Lin Aoxue's confession so straightforwardly, she led Lin Aoxue into the pharmacy, asked her to sit on a chair, and went to make a pot of tea for Lin Aoxue, filled a cup for Lin Aoxue. Said:
"Every time you come, you either surprise me or frighten me, so this time, what are you going to tell me?"
Yun Yan's summary made Lin Aoxue very embarrassed, but when she thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was the case. This time, she came here because she was going to fight in Yiping, and she probably wouldn't return to Xingbei Pass in a short time, so she came here. Will come to visit.
For a while, she faltered and hesitated, and she didn't know how to answer Yun Yan's words.
Seeing Lin Aoxue's expression, Yunyan knew that she had guessed eight out of ten. She sighed helplessly, covered the back of Lin Aoxue's hand with her hand, and gently pushed the black hair on the side of Lin Aoxue's ear behind her ear, and asked :
"What do you want to tell me? I was joking with you just now, so don't take it to your heart."
Lin Aoxue looked into Yunyan's eyes, always intending to see something from her eyes, but Yunyan's gaze was as deep as the sea, making it impossible to catch the emotion in her eyes, except for a gentle and affectionate look, there was nothing else thing.
After watching for a while, Lin Aoxue voluntarily gave up, so she shook her head and reluctantly told Yunyan that she was about to go to Yiping to intercept the southern army.
Yun Yan didn't seem too surprised when she heard the words, Lin Aoxue came to look for her, most likely because of the imminent expedition, she has gradually gotten used to it, but she felt sorry for this person, how difficult and dangerous he was, but she understood that Lin Aoxue went to the battlefield. Dangerous, she can't add more burden to Lin Aoxue, so she nodded and said with a smile:
"Based on your ability, even a mere Yiping will not be able to stop your footsteps. I will wait for your triumphant return at Xingbei Pass."
Lin Aoxue's eyes sparkled, and after Yun Yan finished speaking, she suddenly said:
"Then I borrowed Yan'er's good words, but I don't know that Yan'er may be busy at the moment? I still have half an hour to go back to the barracks. Before that, I wanted to try Yan'er's craft."
It's almost noon, it's time for lunch, Lin Aoxue will go back to the camp later, it must be past meal time, she won't eat and drink at Yunyan's place now, she will be hungry later.
Lin Aoxue seldom put forward her appeals so bluntly. Upon hearing this, Yun Yan couldn't help pursing her lips and chuckling, her brows were soft, she looked at her with a smile, raised her hand to caress her cheek, and replied:
"Of course I can get busy."
As she said, she immediately walked out of the pharmacy and arranged the rest of the work for the servants in the customs. Then she took Lin Aoxue to the backyard and made two small dishes for Lin Aoxue. Lin Aoxue was very happy and said hello repeatedly, boasting I am wise, and said that I will come over a few more times in the future to improve the food.
Yun Yan was smiling, sitting face to face with Lin Aoxue, serving dishes for Lin Aoxue from time to time, and Lin Aoxue would also put something in her bowl.
After the meal, Lin Aoxue bid farewell to Yunyan and went back to the barracks. Before leaving, she hugged Yunyan awkwardly, shyly and a little arrogantly like a child, and her anxious expression made Yunyan giggle. Yun Yan talked too much, and ran away in a panic.
Yun Yan looked at Lin Aoxue's receding back, her heart was very soft, she could see Lin Aoxue's changes day by day, the indifference of this person's appearance and the alienation disguise of being thousands of miles away were melted and peeled off bit by bit by her. , revealing the truest emotions inside.
She likes this feeling, and she is addicted to the surprises that Lin Aoxue brings her every time they meet. In this life, she has identified this person, regardless of the return date.
After returning to the barracks, Lin Aoxue ordered [-] soldiers and horses, and set off from Xingbeiguan to Yiping in the afternoon.From Xingbeiguan to Yiping, it takes two hours to arrive with light clothes and simple travel. She ordered the march to stop outside Yiping and ordered the troops to stand by. Immediately, she led two people alone, went to the outside of the Yiping city tower, and sent someone to go Pass it on to announce your intention.
The name of the general guarding the city of Yiping was Qi Mo. When he heard that Lin Aoxue led his men to Yiping, he was stunned for a moment, and then a look of deep thought appeared in his eyes. In the city, Lin Aoxue had to wait under the tower with two guards.
Lin Aoxue left the army ten miles away from Yiping and came here alone to show her sincerity in the peace talks.Qi Mo watched for a while, and was sure that even if the Xingbeiguan army directly attacked the city, he would be able to respond in time. After a little hesitation, he nodded and signaled the gatekeeper downstairs to open the city gate and let Lin Aoxue enter the city.
Lin Aoxue waited under the tower for a while. Her actions like this were actually quite dangerous. Once Qi Mo found her on the tower and shot arrows, even if Lin Aoxue was able to withdraw at this moment, the two guards around her would be afraid. It has also been smashed into a sieve.
Fortunately, Qi Mo has a good reputation and is quite a peaceful person. Lin Aoxue is also familiar with Qi Mo's temperament, and she saw that Qi Mo would not kill without reason, so she dared to run directly under the tower.The facts also proved that her guess was correct, Qi Mo ordered to open the gate of the city, let Lin Aoxue lead two guards into the city, and met the downstairs in person.
"General Qi defended the city hard!"
Lin Aoxue clasped her fists, saluted Qi Mo, and exchanged greetings.
"It's Captain Xingbei Guanlin who came here, it's a shame to welcome him!"
Qi Mo led people over, led Lin Aoxue to the meeting room, and ordered someone to show Lin Aoxue a table of tea, and then asked Lin Aoxue why she came.Lin Aoxue did not hide it, and said:
"General Qi must have heard about the current situation at Xingbeiguan. His Majesty's sending troops to attack the northern border will inevitably cause turmoil. When a hundred thousand troops pass through Yiping, it may be difficult to avoid catastrophe within General Qi's jurisdiction."
Qi Mo is not a stupid person. As soon as Lin Aoxue opened his mouth, he probably understood Lin Aoxue's intentions. From his point of view, Lin Aoxue was acting as Bei Chenlong's lobbyist, trying to persuade him to vote for the northern border and become Bei Chenlong's general. Together, he fought against the [-] troops sent by the emperor to the northern border.
There was a look of deep thought on his face, his brows were slightly frowned, and he asked knowingly:
"Then Captain Lin thinks, how can Yiping get through the crisis?"
Qi Mo asked this, because he was still thinking about it in his heart, but he didn't reject Lin Aoxue outright, which meant that there was still something to talk about today.Lin Aoxue said:
"General Qi, how about cooperating with Xing Beiguan to fight against the soldiers from the south."
Qi Mo frowned, said with a sneer:
"If I express my position and support Xing Beiguan, then on His Majesty's side, I will be a traitorous general like Bei Chenlong. When the southern army directly attacks Yiping, with my mere [-] troops, there is no room for confrontation at all. , but built a high wall for the northern border to block arrows, Captain Lin thought, I would do such a stupid thing?"
Qi Mo analyzed the current situation from his standpoint. Beichenlong rebelled by himself. Yiping borders on the northern border, but still belongs to the Beichen imperial family. It is much better to have attrition than to attack Yiping directly by the southern army.
Furthermore, if Bei Chenlong suddenly changed his mind and was unwilling to send troops to cooperate, then Yiping would be Xing Beiguan's scapegoat, not to mention weakening the southern army for the northern border, and even arousing the Emperor's dislike, but without support, this is a loss. Qi Mo didn't want to get involved in the business.
Lin Aoxue laughed, and under Qi Mo's probing eyes, said:
"General Qi is really putting the cart before the horse. Look at the world today. The emperor is extravagant and extravagant, and the people are unbearable. The northern border is an important border defense area. For decades, it has resisted the barbarians and made great achievements. However, your majesty has withheld the supplies of the northern border, and even wants to weaken the strength of the northern border. , if His Majesty really wishes, then the soldiers in the north will not be able to resist the barbarian cavalry, once the Xingbei Pass is breached, the next city that will be trampled, which one does General Qi think it will be?"
Qi Mo's expression changed, his heart panicked, and he subconsciously wanted to refute, but was interrupted by Lin Aoxue urgently:
"The barbarians broke the city, burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes. General Qi must have heard about the tragedy of Yong'an in the past. If it really reached that point, General Qi thought that His Majesty the Emperor you are loyal to at this moment would really send troops to help?"
Lin Aoxue spoke calmly, her eyes sparkled, and every sentence hit Qi Mo's vital point, making him unable to refute. When Qi Mo fell into silence, Lin Aoxue continued to say:
"With the strength of the northern border, it is not difficult for General Qi to guess who will win and lose in this war. The [-] troops from the south are exhausted and unacceptable. In the eyes of the northern border soldiers, they are just paper tigers. After retreating to the south and coming to the army, it will not be so easy for General Qi to cooperate with Xingbeiguan and accept Xingbeiguan's protection."
After repelling the crusade in the south, Yiping's value to Beichenlong is not as important as it is now. Beichenlong failed to win over for the first time, even if there is a second time, the conditions that Qi Mo can put forward are the same as the rewards that Yiping can get , will be far worse than this time.
After all, giving charcoal in the snow and icing on the cake are essentially different.
Lin Aoxue's words made Qi Mo ponder for a long time with a sullen face. Finally, he sighed helplessly, and asked with eyebrows drawn:
"According to Lieutenant Lin's words, the northern border wants to cooperate with Yiping, not to make Yiping worship? Although I also think that Emperor Beichen is licentious, but the current situation is not clear, and I still don't want to tear myself apart with His Majesty." .”
Lin Aoxue's smile became even more sinister when she heard the words, she looked into Qi Mo's eyes with a hint of madness in her eyes, and asked:
"General Qi knows that the most difficult thing to live in this world is to be on the fence. I want to gain the emperor's trust and cooperate with the northern border. Where can I find such a good thing? I don't know what the general hates most is unclear position. A man who doesn't believe what he says."
Lin Aoxue's unceremonious words caused Qi Mo's face to change. He got up angrily, and slapped the short chair next to him. The guard outside the door heard the movement inside the door, and rushed in, without saying a word, he put his sword on the On the necks of Lin Aoxue and the two guards behind him.
Qi Mo looked at Lin Aoxue coldly, and said angrily:
"Lieutenant Lin has no sincerity, why not stay in Yiping as a guest!"
Lin Aoxue raised her eyebrows, the smile on her face remained undiminished, but with a bit of coldness, she said indifferently:
"If this is General Qi's attitude, I have nothing to say, so I ask General Qi to wait and see if you can hold me with these few hands!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand, and the guards holding the knives felt numb in their wrists. The hand holding the knives suddenly lost strength, and the steel knives fell to the ground with a clatter. , the three guards in front of him all fell to the ground, unable to fight back at all.
Qi Mo was dumbfounded. He had heard the rumors about Lin Aoxue's outstanding martial arts, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. Now that Lin Aoxue made a move, he panicked. With Lin Aoxue's skill, if she wanted to capture him directly, he would be able to manipulate Yiping's garrison. , It turned out to be easy as pie.
Seeing that Lin Aoxue was about to step forward, Qi Mo gave a wry smile, threw away the sword in his hand, and sighed helplessly:
"How to cooperate depends on Captain Lin's words."
Lin Aoxue successfully persuaded Qi Mo to take Yiping back. Qi Mo put forward two conditions for her, that is, the Xingbeiguan garrison should assist Yiping when necessary, and the two armies should not accidentally harm ordinary people within Yiping.These two requirements are a matter of duty, not too much, Lin Aoxue readily agreed.
She got the contract written by Qi Mo himself, and ambushed the army she brought from Xingbei Pass overnight on the only way to Yiping. Lin Aoxue asked Qi Mo to try to lead the southern garrison ten miles outside Yiping Pass, After the soldiers and horses were ambushed, another message was sent to Bei Chenlong, telling him that the cooperation had been negotiated, and Bei Chenlong needed to send troops to Yiping for support and fight a beautiful first battle.
When Bei Chenlong received the letter from Lin Aoxue, he immediately mobilized [-] soldiers and rushed to Yiping.
It's not that he doesn't want to send more troops, it's just that there must be enough soldiers and horses in Xingbei Pass, otherwise once the barbarians come, they will easily be broken by the barbarians, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Moreover, Lin Aoxue fought an ambush this time, with a total of [-] elite soldiers against the [-] tired soldiers from the south. Although they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, but the time and place were favorable, and with the help of [-] troops stationed in Yiping, Lin Aoxue's chances of winning were still very high. Beichen Long believed in Lin Aoxue's ability.
The reinforcements sent from Xingbeiguan soon arrived in Yiping, and Lin Aoxue made arrangements accordingly. She did not ask Qi Mo to use Yiping's army. According to her calculations, only [-] elite soldiers from Xingbeiguan were enough to fight the war. To win this battle, there is no need to call Yiping garrison. First, it is to show their sincerity to Qi Mo. Second, it is to try to make Yiping look the same as usual, so as to confuse the troops from the south.
Lin Aoxue led [-] elite soldiers to lie in ambush in the dangerous places on both sides of Yiping. After only one day, the southern army appeared [-] miles away from Yiping. The general led an army of [-] to move on.
When they approached the Yiping city tower, the leader of the team sent someone to shout to the Yiping city tower, asking Qi Mo to open the city gate and let the [-] troops behind him pass by.
Qi Mo stood on the tower and asked loudly:
"Your Excellency was appointed by His Majesty to fight against the northern rebels, General Guo Yunzhi?!"
Downstairs, Guo Yunzhi cupped his fists towards Qi Mo, and responded loudly:
"It's right here! Please also ask General Qi to open the city gate."
Qi Mo heard the words and responded:
"But please wait a moment, General Guo!"
After saying that, he immediately turned his head and signaled the guards guarding the city to lower the suspension bridge on the moat outside the city.
The huge suspension bridge creaked as it was slowly lowered. Guo Yunzhi looked expectant, but when he saw the suspension bridge landed with a bang and was erected on the moat, Guo Yunzhi thanked Qi Mo on the tower loudly, and then led The army behind him was divided into several columns, stepped across the bridge, and walked towards the city gate, intending to pass directly from Yiping to Xingbei Pass.
In the middle of the journey, Guo Yunzhi rode a tall horse and crossed the moat outside the city, but the gate downstairs had not been opened yet. Guo Yunzhi called Qi Mo again. Unexpectedly, at this time, the suspension bridge behind him began to lift little by little. The soldiers on the bridge were taken aback by the sudden change. If they didn't retreat in time, they would fall into the moat.
The dozens of soldiers who had already stepped onto the bridge followed the collapse of the bridge and ran down quickly. Those who were not fast enough rolled down from above and fell to Guo Yunzhi's feet.
Guo Yunzhi turned pale with shock, and suddenly realized what had happened, he couldn't help but angrily reprimanded:
"Qi Mo! What are you doing?! Put the bridge down!"
Qi Mo stood on the top of the tower with cold eyes. He looked at the panicked southern soldiers downstairs, raised his arms indifferently, and signaled the archers to go up the tower.
After a row of archers occupied the top of the city and aimed their deadly arrows at the soldiers downstairs, Guo Yunzhi felt that something was wrong. He was terrified, his eyes were wide open, his face was pale with anxiety, dripping with cold sweat, and he shouted loudly:
"Qi Mo! Are you crazy? Did you become a rebel too?!"
The news they got was that Bei Chenlong supported his troops in the northern border to stand on his own feet. They never thought that Qi Mo, a fierce general who was always known for his uprightness, would also join Bei Chenlong!
Qi Mo ignored his hasty words, his expression was cold, since he had made up his mind, there was absolutely no possibility of going back on his word.
With his eyes closed, Qi Mo's voice resounded through the tower:
"Fire arrows!"
Arrows were fired in unison, Guo Yunzhi resisted with difficulty, the gate of the city was not opened, and the way of retreat was cut off, he was the real turtle in the urn.
Behind the moat, there was a loud cry of killing. Lin Aoxue led [-] elite troops to attack the southern army from left and right. The southern army had no leader.
The army led by Lin Aoxue was extremely brave. In contrast, the southern army was exhausted after two months of marching. At this time, facing the northern army, they were powerless to fight back. When the northern soldiers put their knives on their throats, There are still people who failed to pull the saber and sword out of the scabbard.
Guo Yunzhi was completely panicked, he didn't check any one, and was shot in the shoulder by an arrow. He waved the sword in his hand, retreated in panic, and rode on his horse. The moat stirred up a wave, and soon disappeared.
Qi Mo watched Guo Yunzhi jump down the moat, and the soldiers who followed Guo Yunzhi also jumped down. He snorted coldly. Since he wanted to rebel, he should do it cleanly and without dragging his feet. So he gave an order:
"Whoever captures Guo Yunzhi will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!"
When the guards on the tower heard this order, many immediately rushed out of the tower and searched along the moat to both sides, scrambling one by one, lest they give up the reward to others.
When Qi Mo sent people to search for Guo Yunzhi's whereabouts, the battle between the two armies outside the city was gradually coming to an end. The elite soldiers led by Lin Aoxue severely damaged the 6 troops from the south. After several times of charging, they killed nearly [-] soldiers from the southern army and captured soldiers. More than [-] soldiers and more than [-] soldiers and horses retreated in panic, far away from Yiping, and evacuated towards the interior of the Central Plains.
Lin Aoxue led the troops to chase to fifty miles outside Yiping, and the environment was already unfamiliar, so she didn't order the pursuit. She only made a rough estimate of the battle damage, and she stopped when she saw good results.
Lin Aoxue ordered to send the captured [-] southern soldiers back to Xingbeiguan. Yiping did not lose a single soldier, but Lin Aoxue's elite soldiers lost less than [-] soldiers.
In this battle, Lin Aoxue showed outstanding skills in using troops, and the results were quite fruitful. Qi Mo watched the whole process of Lin Aoxue leading the troops outside the city to fight on the tower. Qi Mo had no choice but to be convinced that he was a brave general rarely seen in a hundred years.
After hearing the news, Bei Chenlong was delighted, and personally went to the city gate to welcome Lin Aoxue and the [-] soldiers behind him.
The southern army went north to fight against the rebels in the northern border. Before they reached Xingbei Pass, they were defeated by Lin Aoxue's army and retreated. If you retreat, they will all beheaded!

It is of great importance to write a letter condemning Beichen King. Once the letter is announced, the whole Beichen Kingdom will know that Beichenlong will rebel. If the letter is written well, it will boost the hearts of the people and build momentum for Beichen to raise troops. But if something goes wrong However, being caught by someone is a self-defeating act.
Bei Chenlong handed over this matter to Lin Aoxue, which shows Bei Chenlong's trust in Lin Aoxue. With this proclamation, everyone in the world would know that Lin Aoxue was on Bei Chenlong's side.
But what she wants right now is to trouble Beichen, no matter how chaotic it is, the most important part of it is Beichen's raising troops, so she naturally won't shirk it, so she bowed and saluted, and agreed to the matter:
"Yes, the subordinates will do their best to share the general's worries."
Lin Aoxue took over this task, and after discussing the countermeasures against the southern garrison, Bei Chenlong left Lin Aoxue to discuss matters alone, and discussed with her the content of the call to action.
Half a month later, Bei Chenlong checked the proclamation written by Lin Aoxue, applauded it in public, and then ordered the civil servants to copy several copies, one to be kept in the army and circulated among the generals, and the other to be posted on the notice board in the barracks On the top, the remaining copies were sent to Mingzheng, Poyan and even Yiping to the important cities around Xingbei Pass as quickly as possible, and were widely disseminated.
The call-to-action is not long, only three hundred characters long. It starts from reprimanding the emperor for his extravagance and licentiousness, and does not sympathize with the hardships of the people in the northern border, to the reason why Beichenlong sent troops.
When the barbarian army attacked the northern border, as the king of a country, the emperor actually withheld the food and grass in the northern border, and the reinforcements were not timely, disregarding the safety of the people in the northern border. It is inhumane for Long's military power to provoke internal strife on its own initiative.
She changed the fact that the fifth prince was assassinated and died in the northern military camp to the fact that the fifth prince was murdered by barbarian spies. The emperor turned his anger on Beichenlong, and sent heavy troops to attack the northern border without caring about the brotherhood. Now the [-] troops in the south have been stationed thousands of miles away. It is unrighteous to trek and arrive at Yiping soon.
Such an unfaithful and unrighteous king is as fierce and selfish as a tiger and a wolf. Bei Chenlong endured it and could not bear it anymore. He lived and worked for the people in the northern border. The army of the northern border never backed down when facing the barbarians, nor did they back down when faced with unfair censure from the emperor. !
The main statement in the call-to-action is that Bei Chenlong is a loyal minister of the emperor. Even though he was forced to such a point, he did not betray Bei Chen, but only supported soldiers to protect himself. If the emperor wants to continue the crusade, it is inhumane and unrighteous and unpopular.
As soon as this proclamation came out, the entire Xingbeiguan public opinion was boiling, and the people privately scolded the emperor as a fool. Not only did they take the initiative to send rice and grain to the northern military camp, but they also picked up hoes and shovels, saying that they would defend it to the death with the northern military. home.
This paper spread at an extremely fast speed, not only reached Yiping, but also reached the capital a few days later, and was heard by all the officials in the capital.
Sitting in front of the case, Bei Chenhe unfolded the news he had just received. Seeing the handwriting on it and the name of a person mentioned in the news, he smiled and raised the corners of his lips, muttering to himself:
"Oh...it's kind of interesting."
Lin Aoxue.
Bei Chenhe remembered this person. When Lin Aoxue left the capital, he was still a small household. A few days ago, I heard that he had been promoted to captain. It can be seen that he was highly valued by Bei Chenlong. Now Bei Chenlong raised troops and turned against the emperor. After running out of ammunition and food, let's see if we can use this pawn that was inadvertently buried at the beginning.
The water in the world of Beichen is getting more and more muddy, and the snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's benefit.
There is a small town on the west side of the capital, called Mindu. There is a famous mountain in the southeast of Mindu. The Yuanming Temple on the mountain has been built for more than two hundred years. .
Master Hongming gave a lecture in the temple today. There were many pilgrims in the whole Yuanming Temple, but there was not much noise.
In the dead of night, under the group of statues in the Buddhist hall, there is a monk who is over fifty years old, sitting cross-legged, counting beads without haste.
He has a calm demeanor and an extraordinary temperament, which is out of tune with this mundane world.
At a certain time, the oil lamp in the hall shook slightly, and the door of the Buddhist hall was pushed open from the outside. A young novice came in from the door, holding a small tray in his hand, and went up to the monk, and bowed down:
"Master Hongming, the brother who swept the apricot garden received two letters addressed to you, and asked his disciple to bring them back."
The monk called Master Hongming opened his eyes, his calm gaze was like a deep pool, vast and boundless.He raised his eyes, his eyes were peaceful and warm, compassionate and sentimental, and asked:
"From where?"
The little monk answered seriously:
"One is from the capital, and the other is from outside the customs."
Master Hongming raised his hand, pressed on the little novice's head, read a series of Buddhist scriptures, and then said:
"You put the letter from outside the pass here."
After receiving the empowerment, the little novice bowed down and bowed again, asking with hesitation on his face:
"The other..."
Master Hongming had closed his eyes, his face remained motionless, and he replied without sadness or joy:
"Burn it."
The little novice was stunned for a moment, the mage didn't ask who sent the letter, and let him burn it directly.He raised his head and saw Master Hongming recited scriptures again, he knew that the matter was settled, no matter what was written in the letter from the capital, Master Hongming would not pay attention to it.
He politely and respectfully answered yes, and then took out one of the two letters from the tray, walked to the side of the oil lamp, lit a corner of the letter in front of Hongming, then threw it into the incense burner , and soon burned out.
The little novice bowed and retreated. After Hongming had finished reciting a Heart Sutra, he opened his eyes again. He reached out to fetch the letter that the little novice put on the incense stand, opened the envelope, and took out a thin sheet of letterhead inside. Not much content, just a few lines.
Respecting the teacher, seeing the words is like meeting:
It has been 15 years and three months since the disciple left Beijing. Today is an eventful autumn. The Beichen kingdom is in turmoil. The emperor is becoming more and more extravagant. Taxes are increasing year by year, the people are unbearable, and the people are in dire straits.
The state affairs are declining, how can there be eggs under the overturned nest?Even though respecting the teacher is far away from the government, he is concerned about the sufferings of the people. He is ready to come back and benefit the world, and respect the teacher's long-cherished wish 17 years ago.
Disciples wait for the good news of respecting the teacher.
Just a few lines of words fell into Hongming's eyes, and the dusty past many years ago was startled, and the old regrets were dug out and presented before his eyes.He was silent for a long time, finally sighed, and threw the letter into the incense burner.
It took two months for the southern garrison dispatched by the emperor to finally approach Xingbei Pass. Bei Chenlong received a report that the southern army was still nearly two days away from Yiping. Throw the note into the candlestick and burn it.
Suddenly, a report from a guard came from outside the tent:
"General! Lieutenant Lin is asking to see you outside the tent!"
Bei Chenlong answered "Yes", Lin Aoxue opened the door curtain and walked in, knelt down before Bei Chenlong's case and saluted:
"My subordinate Lin Aoxue, I have met the general!"
Bei Chenlong raised his gaze from the books on the case, and looked at Lin Aoxue, with undisguised admiration in his eyes. Ever since Lin Aoxue's proclamation was published last time, the crowd in Xing Beiguan was excited, which created a lot of momentum for him to raise troops. Therefore, he became more and more satisfied with Lin Aoxue, and has been training Lin Aoxue as a confidant general.
During this period of time, Lin Aoxue was busy recruiting recruits and intensifying the intensity of military training. She was extremely busy, and it was the first time she came to look for Bei Chenlong on her own initiative.
Bei Chenlong stood up with a smile, walked around from behind the table, and asked while pacing:
"Aoxue, do you have something important to do here today?"
Lin Aoxue stood up straight after saluting, and replied respectfully:
"Yes, this subordinate came here to discuss something with the general."
Bei Chenlong was a little surprised. Lin Aoxue had always been very obedient, and rarely offered to ask for anything. Even the last time he issued a statement of denunciation, it was under Bei Chenlong's intentional coercion, so Bei Chenlong's eyes showed surprise, and he raised his eyebrows and smiled. road:
"Oh? Tell me and listen."
Lin Aoxue's eyes were calm, and her expression was quite serious. Before she came, she had already typed several times in her heart, so when Bei Chenlong asked, she didn't think too much, and said bluntly:
"General, it has been two months since the southern garrison was dispatched, and my subordinates guess that the southern garrison will arrive at Xingbei Pass to attack our army in a few days. The battlefield is set outside Xingbei Pass, which may affect the people in the pass. I have an idea in my mind, instead of passively waiting for the southern garrison to come to Xingbei Pass, I should take the initiative to attack and lead the battlefield to other places."
Bei Chenlong was so perceptive, as soon as Lin Aoxue opened his mouth, he understood Lin Aoxue's meaning, but he didn't point it out, but looked at Lin Aoxue happily, motioning her to continue talking.
"Yiping is not far from Xingbei Pass, and it is the only way to pass through from central Beijing to Xingbei Pass. The subordinates think that if we don't build a good relationship with Yiping, if we can reach an agreement with Yiping's city defense Cooperate and make a plan, when the southern army comes, we will lure them into Yiping, and we will catch turtles in the city urn, and we can severely damage the southern army in one fell swoop."
Speaking of this, Lin Aoxue paused for a while, cleared her throat, and then said again:
"If the city defense of Yiping refuses to surrender to our army, because Yiping is located in the pass, it is not a dangerous place, and the number of troops stationed in it is only about [-]. It will be easy for us to take down Yiping, but this is the next strategy. , after all, once a large-scale military operation is made, it is inevitable to startle the snake."
"In addition, if the general does not want to send troops to Yiping, he can set up an ambush at the dangerous place between Yiping and Xingbeiguan, and attack the southern troops when they pass by. However, doing so may not be effective."
The more Lin Aoxue went on, the brighter Bei Chenlong's eyes became. He felt that he had found a treasure. Lin Aoxue was simply a piece of rough jade. As long as he carefully carved it, it would become a great tool.Moreover, she has a good heart, she is loyal and down-to-earth, which makes Bei Chenlong very satisfied.
As for the strategies that Lin Aoxue said at this time, Bei Chenlong had also thought over and over again in the past few days, using Yiping as the base to try to ambush this point, it was in Bei Chenlong's arms.Their thoughts coincided with each other. Bei Chenlong cherished Lin Aoxue's talent and wanted to test it, so he said:
"If our army takes the initiative to attack this time, will it affect public opinion?"
Lin Aoxue had already thought about it in her heart, and she didn't hesitate when she answered:
"Returning to the general, this time the southern garrison came to Xingbei Pass in the name of crusade against the rebels. They want to suppress the general's power and weaken the general's influence in Xingbei Pass. They have traveled thousands of miles and have confirmed that they cannot be friends. You can only be an enemy, and if you are an enemy, you must not be merciful."
"If we send troops after they arrive at Xingbei Pass, the other side will be prepared and cause even greater casualties. If Xingbei Pass is not as good as the southern garrison with supplies from the capital, we can only rely on the food and grass provided by the people in the north for self-sufficiency. self-sufficient."
"Compared to the southern garrison, our northern garrison has a natural disadvantage. We must reduce the loss on the battlefield as much as possible. Otherwise, once the war drags on for a long time, when the southern garrison gradually gets used to the environment in the northern border, we will stop at the northern border. With a firm foothold, it will not be easy for us to drive them away under the ebb and flow of one.”
"Our army's defense against the soldiers from the south is a defensive move. Now the time is ripe and the opportunity cannot be missed."
Lin Aoxue's words were sincere, well-organized, and her analysis made sense. Bei Chenlong nodded repeatedly. After Lin Aoxue finished speaking, the smile on Bei Chenlong's face was undisguised. He looked at Lin Aoxue, patted her on the shoulder in relief, and smiled. said:
"In your opinion, what kind of tactics should we adopt? Besides, Yiping is in the pass, and the general who defends the city is notoriously upright. It's not easy to win him over."
This time, Lin Aoxue thought for a while before answering:
"My subordinates think that we should first send someone to test out the meaning of the general who is defending the city in Yiping, and to find out his tone. If there is a chance to win him over, then he will be lured with profit. If not, he will be coerced in the opposite direction. , then retreated to the next best thing, ambushed soldiers and horses on the road that must pass through the two places, and waited for the southern army to enter the urn."
Bei Chenlong nodded and did not refute Lin Aoxue's words. After she finished speaking, he smiled and said:
"Then I will entrust you with this task. This battle must not only be won, but also beautiful. Can you do it?"
Lin Aoxue knelt on one knee, with a gleam in her eyes:
"Yes, my subordinates will live up to the prestige of the general!"
After getting Bei Chenlong's permission, Lin Aoxue quickly left Bei Chenlong's military tent. She had already asked Bei Chenlong for an hour's leave to go to the market and visit Yunyan.
This has become her habit, every time she has to go on a mission, she has to go to the medical center to see, and seeing Yunyan makes her feel at ease, and she can lead troops to fight with peace of mind.
When Lin Aoxue came, Yunyan was counting medicinal materials in the medical hall. In the early summer, she just went to buy a batch of new medicinal materials to fill the medicine storehouse. These medicines need to be put away by category. The doctors in these medical halls have already collected them It's done, Yunyan just checks it, in case there are any omissions.
Yun Yan had already ordered Lin Aoxue to bring Lin Aoxue directly to her without passing through when she came, so as soon as Lin Aoxue arrived at the medical hall, the servant in the hall happily called her, and then led her to the inner room. Pharmacy line to go.
Lin Aoxue saw Yunyan busy in the pharmacy from afar, the servant originally wanted to call Yunyan, but was stopped by Lin Aoxue, she waved her hand, signaling the servant to go down and do things by herself, here she can handle it alone, the servant dared not touch her Concerned, he nodded and quietly backed away.
After the boy left, Lin Aoxue stood at the door of the pharmacy, watching Yunyan bustle around in the pharmacy, holding a bill in her hand, counting the quantity of each medicinal material.
When Yunyan was doing things seriously, it was different from other times. Her beautiful and delicate side face showed a mature and intellectual beauty because of being too focused. Every gesture of her hands exuded an irresistible charm, which was very charming. , has an unimaginable attraction.
Lin Aoxue stood at the door of the pharmacy, glanced into the room, then stared blankly.
It wasn't until Yunyan finished her work that she put down the account book in her hand and turned her head to look, only to be surprised to find that Lin Aoxue was standing at the door of the house with her arms folded around her chest, looking at her quietly and gently.
That gaze was so focused and beautiful that it made Yunyan's heart skip a beat. She quickly came back to her senses, walked quickly towards Lin Aoxue, took her hand naturally, and asked reproachfully:
"How long have you been here? Why don't you come in?"
Perhaps it was the answer that she had read in her mind too many times. When Yunyan asked this question, Lin Aoxue replied without thinking:
"Yan'er is so beautiful, I'm fascinated when I see it."
The answer was too straightforward, it was a shy but generous appearance rarely seen in Lin Aoxue.Yun Yan laughed heartily, it was not easy to hear Lin Aoxue's confession so straightforwardly, she led Lin Aoxue into the pharmacy, asked her to sit on a chair, and went to make a pot of tea for Lin Aoxue, filled a cup for Lin Aoxue. Said:
"Every time you come, you either surprise me or frighten me, so this time, what are you going to tell me?"
Yun Yan's summary made Lin Aoxue very embarrassed, but when she thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was the case. This time, she came here because she was going to fight in Yiping, and she probably wouldn't return to Xingbei Pass in a short time, so she came here. Will come to visit.
For a while, she faltered and hesitated, and she didn't know how to answer Yun Yan's words.
Seeing Lin Aoxue's expression, Yunyan knew that she had guessed eight out of ten. She sighed helplessly, covered the back of Lin Aoxue's hand with her hand, and gently pushed the black hair on the side of Lin Aoxue's ear behind her ear, and asked :
"What do you want to tell me? I was joking with you just now, so don't take it to your heart."
Lin Aoxue looked into Yunyan's eyes, always intending to see something from her eyes, but Yunyan's gaze was as deep as the sea, making it impossible to catch the emotion in her eyes, except for a gentle and affectionate look, there was nothing else thing.
After watching for a while, Lin Aoxue voluntarily gave up, so she shook her head and reluctantly told Yunyan that she was about to go to Yiping to intercept the southern army.
Yun Yan didn't seem too surprised when she heard the words, Lin Aoxue came to look for her, most likely because of the imminent expedition, she has gradually gotten used to it, but she felt sorry for this person, how difficult and dangerous he was, but she understood that Lin Aoxue went to the battlefield. Dangerous, she can't add more burden to Lin Aoxue, so she nodded and said with a smile:
"Based on your ability, even a mere Yiping will not be able to stop your footsteps. I will wait for your triumphant return at Xingbei Pass."
Lin Aoxue's eyes sparkled, and after Yun Yan finished speaking, she suddenly said:
"Then I borrowed Yan'er's good words, but I don't know that Yan'er may be busy at the moment? I still have half an hour to go back to the barracks. Before that, I wanted to try Yan'er's craft."
It's almost noon, it's time for lunch, Lin Aoxue will go back to the camp later, it must be past meal time, she won't eat and drink at Yunyan's place now, she will be hungry later.
Lin Aoxue seldom put forward her appeals so bluntly. Upon hearing this, Yun Yan couldn't help pursing her lips and chuckling, her brows were soft, she looked at her with a smile, raised her hand to caress her cheek, and replied:
"Of course I can get busy."
As she said, she immediately walked out of the pharmacy and arranged the rest of the work for the servants in the customs. Then she took Lin Aoxue to the backyard and made two small dishes for Lin Aoxue. Lin Aoxue was very happy and said hello repeatedly, boasting I am wise, and said that I will come over a few more times in the future to improve the food.
Yun Yan was smiling, sitting face to face with Lin Aoxue, serving dishes for Lin Aoxue from time to time, and Lin Aoxue would also put something in her bowl.
After the meal, Lin Aoxue bid farewell to Yunyan and went back to the barracks. Before leaving, she hugged Yunyan awkwardly, shyly and a little arrogantly like a child, and her anxious expression made Yunyan giggle. Yun Yan talked too much, and ran away in a panic.
Yun Yan looked at Lin Aoxue's receding back, her heart was very soft, she could see Lin Aoxue's changes day by day, the indifference of this person's appearance and the alienation disguise of being thousands of miles away were melted and peeled off bit by bit by her. , revealing the truest emotions inside.
She likes this feeling, and she is addicted to the surprises that Lin Aoxue brings her every time they meet. In this life, she has identified this person, regardless of the return date.
After returning to the barracks, Lin Aoxue ordered [-] soldiers and horses, and set off from Xingbeiguan to Yiping in the afternoon.From Xingbeiguan to Yiping, it takes two hours to arrive with light clothes and simple travel. She ordered the march to stop outside Yiping and ordered the troops to stand by. Immediately, she led two people alone, went to the outside of the Yiping city tower, and sent someone to go Pass it on to announce your intention.
The name of the general guarding the city of Yiping was Qi Mo. When he heard that Lin Aoxue led his men to Yiping, he was stunned for a moment, and then a look of deep thought appeared in his eyes. In the city, Lin Aoxue had to wait under the tower with two guards.
Lin Aoxue left the army ten miles away from Yiping and came here alone to show her sincerity in the peace talks.Qi Mo watched for a while, and was sure that even if the Xingbeiguan army directly attacked the city, he would be able to respond in time. After a little hesitation, he nodded and signaled the gatekeeper downstairs to open the city gate and let Lin Aoxue enter the city.
Lin Aoxue waited under the tower for a while. Her actions like this were actually quite dangerous. Once Qi Mo found her on the tower and shot arrows, even if Lin Aoxue was able to withdraw at this moment, the two guards around her would be afraid. It has also been smashed into a sieve.
Fortunately, Qi Mo has a good reputation and is quite a peaceful person. Lin Aoxue is also familiar with Qi Mo's temperament, and she saw that Qi Mo would not kill without reason, so she dared to run directly under the tower.The facts also proved that her guess was correct, Qi Mo ordered to open the gate of the city, let Lin Aoxue lead two guards into the city, and met the downstairs in person.
"General Qi defended the city hard!"
Lin Aoxue clasped her fists, saluted Qi Mo, and exchanged greetings.
"It's Captain Xingbei Guanlin who came here, it's a shame to welcome him!"
Qi Mo led people over, led Lin Aoxue to the meeting room, and ordered someone to show Lin Aoxue a table of tea, and then asked Lin Aoxue why she came.Lin Aoxue did not hide it, and said:
"General Qi must have heard about the current situation at Xingbeiguan. His Majesty's sending troops to attack the northern border will inevitably cause turmoil. When a hundred thousand troops pass through Yiping, it may be difficult to avoid catastrophe within General Qi's jurisdiction."
Qi Mo is not a stupid person. As soon as Lin Aoxue opened his mouth, he probably understood Lin Aoxue's intentions. From his point of view, Lin Aoxue was acting as Bei Chenlong's lobbyist, trying to persuade him to vote for the northern border and become Bei Chenlong's general. Together, he fought against the [-] troops sent by the emperor to the northern border.
There was a look of deep thought on his face, his brows were slightly frowned, and he asked knowingly:
"Then Captain Lin thinks, how can Yiping get through the crisis?"
Qi Mo asked this, because he was still thinking about it in his heart, but he didn't reject Lin Aoxue outright, which meant that there was still something to talk about today.Lin Aoxue said:
"General Qi, how about cooperating with Xing Beiguan to fight against the soldiers from the south."
Qi Mo frowned, said with a sneer:
"If I express my position and support Xing Beiguan, then on His Majesty's side, I will be a traitorous general like Bei Chenlong. When the southern army directly attacks Yiping, with my mere [-] troops, there is no room for confrontation at all. , but built a high wall for the northern border to block arrows, Captain Lin thought, I would do such a stupid thing?"
Qi Mo analyzed the current situation from his standpoint. Beichenlong rebelled by himself. Yiping borders on the northern border, but still belongs to the Beichen imperial family. It is much better to have attrition than to attack Yiping directly by the southern army.
Furthermore, if Bei Chenlong suddenly changed his mind and was unwilling to send troops to cooperate, then Yiping would be Xing Beiguan's scapegoat, not to mention weakening the southern army for the northern border, and even arousing the Emperor's dislike, but without support, this is a loss. Qi Mo didn't want to get involved in the business.
Lin Aoxue laughed, and under Qi Mo's probing eyes, said:
"General Qi is really putting the cart before the horse. Look at the world today. The emperor is extravagant and extravagant, and the people are unbearable. The northern border is an important border defense area. For decades, it has resisted the barbarians and made great achievements. However, your majesty has withheld the supplies of the northern border, and even wants to weaken the strength of the northern border. , if His Majesty really wishes, then the soldiers in the north will not be able to resist the barbarian cavalry, once the Xingbei Pass is breached, the next city that will be trampled, which one does General Qi think it will be?"
Qi Mo's expression changed, his heart panicked, and he subconsciously wanted to refute, but was interrupted by Lin Aoxue urgently:
"The barbarians broke the city, burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes. General Qi must have heard about the tragedy of Yong'an in the past. If it really reached that point, General Qi thought that His Majesty the Emperor you are loyal to at this moment would really send troops to help?"
Lin Aoxue spoke calmly, her eyes sparkled, and every sentence hit Qi Mo's vital point, making him unable to refute. When Qi Mo fell into silence, Lin Aoxue continued to say:
"With the strength of the northern border, it is not difficult for General Qi to guess who will win and lose in this war. The [-] troops from the south are exhausted and unacceptable. In the eyes of the northern border soldiers, they are just paper tigers. After retreating to the south and coming to the army, it will not be so easy for General Qi to cooperate with Xingbeiguan and accept Xingbeiguan's protection."
After repelling the crusade in the south, Yiping's value to Beichenlong is not as important as it is now. Beichenlong failed to win over for the first time, even if there is a second time, the conditions that Qi Mo can put forward are the same as the rewards that Yiping can get , will be far worse than this time.
After all, giving charcoal in the snow and icing on the cake are essentially different.
Lin Aoxue's words made Qi Mo ponder for a long time with a sullen face. Finally, he sighed helplessly, and asked with eyebrows drawn:
"According to Lieutenant Lin's words, the northern border wants to cooperate with Yiping, not to make Yiping worship? Although I also think that Emperor Beichen is licentious, but the current situation is not clear, and I still don't want to tear myself apart with His Majesty." .”
Lin Aoxue's smile became even more sinister when she heard the words, she looked into Qi Mo's eyes with a hint of madness in her eyes, and asked:
"General Qi knows that the most difficult thing to live in this world is to be on the fence. I want to gain the emperor's trust and cooperate with the northern border. Where can I find such a good thing? I don't know what the general hates most is unclear position. A man who doesn't believe what he says."
Lin Aoxue's unceremonious words caused Qi Mo's face to change. He got up angrily, and slapped the short chair next to him. The guard outside the door heard the movement inside the door, and rushed in, without saying a word, he put his sword on the On the necks of Lin Aoxue and the two guards behind him.
Qi Mo looked at Lin Aoxue coldly, and said angrily:
"Lieutenant Lin has no sincerity, why not stay in Yiping as a guest!"
Lin Aoxue raised her eyebrows, the smile on her face remained undiminished, but with a bit of coldness, she said indifferently:
"If this is General Qi's attitude, I have nothing to say, so I ask General Qi to wait and see if you can hold me with these few hands!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand, and the guards holding the knives felt numb in their wrists. The hand holding the knives suddenly lost strength, and the steel knives fell to the ground with a clatter. , the three guards in front of him all fell to the ground, unable to fight back at all.
Qi Mo was dumbfounded. He had heard the rumors about Lin Aoxue's outstanding martial arts, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. Now that Lin Aoxue made a move, he panicked. With Lin Aoxue's skill, if she wanted to capture him directly, he would be able to manipulate Yiping's garrison. , It turned out to be easy as pie.
Seeing that Lin Aoxue was about to step forward, Qi Mo gave a wry smile, threw away the sword in his hand, and sighed helplessly:
"How to cooperate depends on Captain Lin's words."
Lin Aoxue successfully persuaded Qi Mo to take Yiping back. Qi Mo put forward two conditions for her, that is, the Xingbeiguan garrison should assist Yiping when necessary, and the two armies should not accidentally harm ordinary people within Yiping.These two requirements are a matter of duty, not too much, Lin Aoxue readily agreed.
She got the contract written by Qi Mo himself, and ambushed the army she brought from Xingbei Pass overnight on the only way to Yiping. Lin Aoxue asked Qi Mo to try to lead the southern garrison ten miles outside Yiping Pass, After the soldiers and horses were ambushed, another message was sent to Bei Chenlong, telling him that the cooperation had been negotiated, and Bei Chenlong needed to send troops to Yiping for support and fight a beautiful first battle.
When Bei Chenlong received the letter from Lin Aoxue, he immediately mobilized [-] soldiers and rushed to Yiping.
It's not that he doesn't want to send more troops, it's just that there must be enough soldiers and horses in Xingbei Pass, otherwise once the barbarians come, they will easily be broken by the barbarians, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Moreover, Lin Aoxue fought an ambush this time, with a total of [-] elite soldiers against the [-] tired soldiers from the south. Although they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, but the time and place were favorable, and with the help of [-] troops stationed in Yiping, Lin Aoxue's chances of winning were still very high. Beichen Long believed in Lin Aoxue's ability.
The reinforcements sent from Xingbeiguan soon arrived in Yiping, and Lin Aoxue made arrangements accordingly. She did not ask Qi Mo to use Yiping's army. According to her calculations, only [-] elite soldiers from Xingbeiguan were enough to fight the war. To win this battle, there is no need to call Yiping garrison. First, it is to show their sincerity to Qi Mo. Second, it is to try to make Yiping look the same as usual, so as to confuse the troops from the south.
Lin Aoxue led [-] elite soldiers to lie in ambush in the dangerous places on both sides of Yiping. After only one day, the southern army appeared [-] miles away from Yiping. The general led an army of [-] to move on.
When they approached the Yiping city tower, the leader of the team sent someone to shout to the Yiping city tower, asking Qi Mo to open the city gate and let the [-] troops behind him pass by.
Qi Mo stood on the tower and asked loudly:
"Your Excellency was appointed by His Majesty to fight against the northern rebels, General Guo Yunzhi?!"
Downstairs, Guo Yunzhi cupped his fists towards Qi Mo, and responded loudly:
"It's right here! Please also ask General Qi to open the city gate."
Qi Mo heard the words and responded:
"But please wait a moment, General Guo!"
After saying that, he immediately turned his head and signaled the guards guarding the city to lower the suspension bridge on the moat outside the city.
The huge suspension bridge creaked as it was slowly lowered. Guo Yunzhi looked expectant, but when he saw the suspension bridge landed with a bang and was erected on the moat, Guo Yunzhi thanked Qi Mo on the tower loudly, and then led The army behind him was divided into several columns, stepped across the bridge, and walked towards the city gate, intending to pass directly from Yiping to Xingbei Pass.
In the middle of the journey, Guo Yunzhi rode a tall horse and crossed the moat outside the city, but the gate downstairs had not been opened yet. Guo Yunzhi called Qi Mo again. Unexpectedly, at this time, the suspension bridge behind him began to lift little by little. The soldiers on the bridge were taken aback by the sudden change. If they didn't retreat in time, they would fall into the moat.
The dozens of soldiers who had already stepped onto the bridge followed the collapse of the bridge and ran down quickly. Those who were not fast enough rolled down from above and fell to Guo Yunzhi's feet.
Guo Yunzhi turned pale with shock, and suddenly realized what had happened, he couldn't help but angrily reprimanded:
"Qi Mo! What are you doing?! Put the bridge down!"
Qi Mo stood on the top of the tower with cold eyes. He looked at the panicked southern soldiers downstairs, raised his arms indifferently, and signaled the archers to go up the tower.
After a row of archers occupied the top of the city and aimed their deadly arrows at the soldiers downstairs, Guo Yunzhi felt that something was wrong. He was terrified, his eyes were wide open, his face was pale with anxiety, dripping with cold sweat, and he shouted loudly:
"Qi Mo! Are you crazy? Did you become a rebel too?!"
The news they got was that Bei Chenlong supported his troops in the northern border to stand on his own feet. They never thought that Qi Mo, a fierce general who was always known for his uprightness, would also join Bei Chenlong!
Qi Mo ignored his hasty words, his expression was cold, since he had made up his mind, there was absolutely no possibility of going back on his word.
With his eyes closed, Qi Mo's voice resounded through the tower:
"Fire arrows!"
Arrows were fired in unison, Guo Yunzhi resisted with difficulty, the gate of the city was not opened, and the way of retreat was cut off, he was the real turtle in the urn.
Behind the moat, there was a loud cry of killing. Lin Aoxue led [-] elite troops to attack the southern army from left and right. The southern army had no leader.
The army led by Lin Aoxue was extremely brave. In contrast, the southern army was exhausted after two months of marching. At this time, facing the northern army, they were powerless to fight back. When the northern soldiers put their knives on their throats, There are still people who failed to pull the saber and sword out of the scabbard.
Guo Yunzhi was completely panicked, he didn't check any one, and was shot in the shoulder by an arrow. He waved the sword in his hand, retreated in panic, and rode on his horse. The moat stirred up a wave, and soon disappeared.
Qi Mo watched Guo Yunzhi jump down the moat, and the soldiers who followed Guo Yunzhi also jumped down. He snorted coldly. Since he wanted to rebel, he should do it cleanly and without dragging his feet. So he gave an order:
"Whoever captures Guo Yunzhi will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!"
When the guards on the tower heard this order, many immediately rushed out of the tower and searched along the moat to both sides, scrambling one by one, lest they give up the reward to others.
When Qi Mo sent people to search for Guo Yunzhi's whereabouts, the battle between the two armies outside the city was gradually coming to an end. The elite soldiers led by Lin Aoxue severely damaged the 6 troops from the south. After several times of charging, they killed nearly [-] soldiers from the southern army and captured soldiers. More than [-] soldiers and more than [-] soldiers and horses retreated in panic, far away from Yiping, and evacuated towards the interior of the Central Plains.
Lin Aoxue led the troops to chase to fifty miles outside Yiping, and the environment was already unfamiliar, so she didn't order the pursuit. She only made a rough estimate of the battle damage, and she stopped when she saw good results.
Lin Aoxue ordered to send the captured [-] southern soldiers back to Xingbeiguan. Yiping did not lose a single soldier, but Lin Aoxue's elite soldiers lost less than [-] soldiers.
In this battle, Lin Aoxue showed outstanding skills in using troops, and the results were quite fruitful. Qi Mo watched the whole process of Lin Aoxue leading the troops outside the city to fight on the tower. Qi Mo had no choice but to be convinced that he was a brave general rarely seen in a hundred years.
After hearing the news, Bei Chenlong was delighted, and personally went to the city gate to welcome Lin Aoxue and the [-] soldiers behind him.
The southern army went north to fight against the rebels in the northern border. Before they reached Xingbei Pass, they were defeated by Lin Aoxue's army and retreated. If you retreat, they will all beheaded!
