The Founding of the Red Chamber

Lin Jing has a bad temper, but his heart is soft.

Because of his arrogant nature, there are not many people who can catch his eyes, and Tu Xiaosan is one of them. In the final analysis, this war is not just a matter of Tu Xiaosan.Lin Jing put in as much painstaking effort as Tu Xiaosan in preparing for the formation of the entire Hanjin Second City's army.

Even if he could watch Tu Xiaosan go to die, he couldn't bear to watch these soldiers die.

Lin Jing wanted to get up to discuss the matter of the rebel army, but Tu Xiaosan pressed his shoulders and told him to lie down, took off his outer robe, and went to bed with him.Tu Xiaosan said, "Let's lie down and talk, it's the same." Then he said, "You must not have rested these days, I shouldn't bother you with this matter."

Lin Jing didn't appreciate this at all, "If you don't want to bother me, you shouldn't rush over to discuss with me."

Tu Xiaosan said in a low voice, "I don't want to bother you, but I'm also worried that you'll keep getting angry with me, and I'm afraid you'll burn yourself out of anger."

Lin Jing said angrily, "If you're not mad at you, it's because of my fate."

"Ah Jing, brother will listen to you in everything from now on." Tu Xiaosan held Lin Jing's hand and said seriously.

"You don't listen to me. You can listen to whoever you want. I may not be right. It's just that I won't hurt you again."

"Well, brother, I remembered it."

Lin Jing was not a narrow-minded person, so this matter was exposed, and he discussed with his apprentice Xiaosan about going south.Lin Jingdao, "Your Majesty must have thought that Duan Tianyu would retreat from the imperial capital and retreat all the way to Huguang. He wanted to take advantage of Duan Tianyu's defeat and wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop. However, in my opinion, this matter is not as envisioned by Your Majesty." First, Duan Tianyu's defeat was not a total defeat. It is better to say that he retreated. Think about it, when the barbarian king was defeated, he was severely injured by my eldest brother-in-law in Jinzhong. But Duan Tianyu, he retreated to Jinzhong was able to defeat the Jinzhong army. Since Jinzhong was difficult all the way, I heard that there are other garrisons who can do nothing to him? He retreated quickly and calmly, which shows that his main force has not been exhausted. Second It's July, and I heard that the air in the south of the Yangtze River is warmer, but the south of the Yangtze River is also a place where it snows in winter. Where can the warmth go? When the court prepares food, grass and weapons, we will travel a long way, and I am afraid that we will enter It's winter, and fighting in winter is not cheap. Most of our people are from the north outside the Guan, and the climate in the south depends on whether they can adapt to it. In this way, the right time and place are not on our side, and this battle is not good. Fight. Think about it, if Duan Tianyu was easy to fight, he would have been able to retreat outside the imperial capital when you surrounded him with the imperial guards. The imperial capital is still the imperial court's territory. Are you certain of victory?"

All of Lin Jing's stories touched Tu Xiaosan's heart.

Tu Xiaosan said in a low voice, "To tell you the truth, I was so passionate that I didn't bother to think about it. These days, the more I think about it, the more frightened I am. I have been rewarded by the imperial court for official positions, and I have suffered disasters. I know that when disasters happen, the rich and powerful will always have a place to go, but ordinary people, whether they live or die, depend on God. The life of the people can still be a little too much. Ah Jing, but I have been training for the past few days, and I have seen those brothers who followed me. They entrusted their lives to me. If I can win, it is not in vain to come to this world. But if you can't win or lose, the world is still the same, and I failed to save anyone, and even put the lives of these brothers in it. When I think about this, I feel bad."

"Yes, soldiers, the place of life and death, the way of life and death, you must investigate." Lin Jingdao, "Youfufacai have followed you since their hometown. But think about it, those ordinary soldiers recruited, they are the same They are the sons and husbands of the family. Now they are enlisted to fight with you. Those who have lives can earn a future, and those who don’t have lives will die in battle. Then, in this family, the white-haired parents send the black-haired ones, and the wife becomes Widows, children become orphans. In war, you can't be cruel, but you have to think more about your subordinates, if you can save one death, it is one."

"Ah Jing, according to you, how do you think this battle should be fought?"

"I don't need to say, you should know it in your heart."

"I was thinking, we don't have enough manpower, so we should ask the imperial court to send more soldiers, so we are sure." Tu Xiaosan said, "That day outside the imperial capital, I thought your elder brother was quite a hero. I thought, if the imperial court To send more troops, I don't have to be a general. Let your brother be the general. I will be my subordinate and you will be the military adviser. We just need to be united. After all, Duan Tianyu is still short. He is a man of genius, and he needs training Time. Before he can train his soldiers, let's go south to kill him!"

Lin Jing sighed, "Third brother, you can think so, but there is one person who doesn't think so."

"Who? Does your elder brother dislike my past?" He thought it was the elder brother of the Lin family who looked down on his background.

"What nonsense!" Lin Jing said, "if you look at my character and heart, you should know what my elder brother is like. Although he looks a bit more serious, he is not a pedantic person. Otherwise, in the imperial capital I already got your old bottom out."

Lin Jing sighed, "It's Your Majesty."

Tu Xiaosan was very surprised, "Impossible, you don't know, His Majesty hates Duan Tianyu very much. Besides, I heard that His Majesty trusts Lord Lin very much. Even if His Majesty is worried that Lord Lin is partial to you and me, but this matter of war, It’s different from other things, naturally the more aligned the hearts, the better.”

Lin Jingdao, "You don't understand His Majesty's temperament. In fact, he is not narrow-minded. When General Guan went west to Muzhou Mansion to rebuild the Muzhou Army, Empress Dowager Kong asked the rest of the Guan family to stay in the imperial capital. To put it bluntly, Be a proton. When he ascends the throne today, he will soon send the Guan family to the Muzhou Mansion to reunite with General Guan."

"It can be seen that His Majesty has a broad mind."

"Yes." Lin Jing said, "Besides, His Majesty trusts my eldest brother very much. On the contrary, His Majesty hates me as much as he trusts my elder brother. He didn't dislike me because I killed Duke Xiangyang, he Letting Duke Xiangyang make trouble in the emperor is nothing more than waiting for a powerful lesson to teach Xiangyang Duke, so that Xiangyang Duke knows the benefits. Even if I kill Xiangyang Duke, he is just a matter of face. This time, he rushed to help the imperial capital It's not that I didn't ask someone to intercede for the past, but His Majesty still refuses to expose it. Such a person who is not too narrow-minded, he is hard-pressed to let go of a matter that he doesn't care much about. It can only explain one thing Your Majesty doesn't want to see me again."

Tu Xiaosan was surprised and asked, "Do you have any trouble with His Majesty?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that I don't like him very much. When he came to my house, I didn't like him when I saw him. I thought he was very hypocritical. My elder brother has always been nice to everyone, and he was very nice to him. , that is, he entered the clan mansion and went to jail, and sent people to visit him every month, and gave him gifts during the festivals. Otherwise, he could have such a peaceful life in the clan mansion." Lin Jing said, "He is now Treating my elder brother is also very good, I heard that every now and then, I will leave my elder brother to eat in the palace, especially at night, after dinner, I will discuss government affairs with my elder brother."

Lin Jing was puzzled by this, and said to Xiaosan, "You say, it depends on how my elder brother treats him. My elder brother is only my younger brother, but he wants us to be brothers for the rest of his life." Don't see each other again. What kind of heart is this person!" Lin Jing was very dissatisfied with Chen Qibao.

Lin Jing is far superior to ordinary people in some political and military matters, but he is not as good as Tu Xiaosan when it comes to these sophisticated people.Tu Xiaolong thought about how to speak, Fang said, "Ah Jing, have you ever thought that it is because Lin Guogong treats you well that His Majesty does not want to see you."

"How do you say that?"

Tu Xiaosan said, "It's like I like you very much, you can treat me well, and we will be good. You have a big brother who cares about you as much as your heart, liver and lungs. In fact, although I know it's impossible, I hope, I am in your heart, I can be closer to you. It is not for any benefit, I just think that it is better to be unique with you." It has to be said that at this moment, Tu Xiaosan and Chen Qibao actually had a relationship There was a strange resonance.

Lin Jing was puzzled, "What is this called? My elder brother brought me up since childhood, and you also brought up Xiaosi. I treat my elder brother just like Xiaosi treats you. Could it be that I treat you normally? It’s not good, why are you unique, you are unique in the first place. Could it be that there are two of you in the world.”

"Look, you're so smart in normal times, you're stupid about these things." Tu Xiaosan said, "I'm better, I have Xiaosi, and Youfufacai, they met you later. But you think Thinking, what does your majesty have? Dear father, he is such a thing. Dear mother, I left early, brothers, all of them are useless. If it is not for some luck, I am afraid that I will not be able to be the emperor. Perhaps your majesty will treat him the best in this life. Yes, it's your elder brother."

Tu Xiaosan compared his heart to his heart, "If I had nothing in my life, it would be easier for me to be treated by myself alone. Maybe, I think, in this person's eyes, I am special. However, after comparing, I know that I am not special at all. This person , There is someone who is really loved from the bottom of my heart. He was nice to me at the beginning, but it was just a matter of convenience. If it were you, would you be jealous of this much-loved boy. "
