The Founding of the Red Chamber

Although Lin Jing had some opinions on the timing of the battle, this was the first battle in which the Guanwai Army really became famous.

Just like the evaluation of the Guanwai Army by people who have seen it with their own eyes, even Xie Changyun, who doesn't know much about military affairs, will feel that the Guanwai Army's momentum is different from ordinary troops.

Soon, Li Feng, who was confronting the Guanwai army for the first time, also knew that he had encountered a tough problem.

Although King Jinling now wanted to capture Lin Jing and skin him, but Duan Tianyu's military strategy at the beginning was that Li Feng would be the general, and he didn't need to seek victory, but only stability. Being able to hold back the troops outside the pass would be a great achievement.

No matter how much King Jinling hated Lin Jing, he would not change the entire military strategy.As for Li Feng, he really wanted to capture Lin Jing and avenge his "stigmatization" for the prince. At the beginning of the battle, Li Feng also moved his mind to "capture" Lin Jing alive.However, the facts proved that this was entirely Li Feng's delusion and ambition, because facing such a wolf-like momentum, even Li Feng, thanks to his good water skills, escaped with his life.However, the troops from outside the Guan came ashore immediately, made some adjustments, and within half a month, they approached Xunyang.It was Li Feng, although he escaped from the water, he still died at the head of Xunyang city.When the King of Jinling received the battle report that the soldiers from outside the pass had breached Xunyang City, he directly broke his favorite glass bottle.Afterwards, the Jinling King Company sent three generals, all of whom fell in the hands of the Guanwai army.

Within a month, the Guanwai army could be called Lien Chan Lian Jie.

Lin Jing's face was extremely ugly, and he said to Tu Xiaosan, "I haven't seen Duan Tianyu's whereabouts so far, and since I went south, the rebels I have encountered are of ordinary combat strength, so it can be seen that they are not the main force of the rebels. If it is not bad, Duan Tianyu Tianyu must be heading towards the general."

Tu Xiaosan said, "The Imperial Capital Army has [-] soldiers, even if Duan Tianyu personally led the army to stop the general in Lianghuai, I'm afraid he won't be able to take advantage of it easily."

"I just hope so." After discussing with Tu Xiaosan, Lin Jing ordered the army to make some repairs in Xunyang and continue eastward.

King Jinling really saw the ferocity of the Guanwai army, because, three months later, the Guanwai army approached Lin'an City.King Jinling and his descendants are in Lin'an City.

Chen Xiya said, "Father, do you want Duan Tianyu to come back for help?"

"No!" Since King Jinling dared to rebel, the quality of this rebellion was not comparable to that of ordinary vassal kings.Even though he was old, the King of Jinling was still decisive.His old face was as hard as rock and iron, Jinling King said, "Why did Lin Jing come to besiege Lin'an City, he must know that Tianyu and Lu Qing fought hard in the Huaihe River and Huaihe River. His plan was to encircle Wei and save Zhao. If Tianyu is ordered to come back to help, it will Half a year of fighting has come to nothing. Order to defend Lin'an City to the death!"

Siege warfare is the most difficult battle to fight, not to mention Lin'an where the King of Jinling is located, not to mention the fortification of the city.

Even with the bravery of the troops outside the pass, they could not stop attacking for half a month.

Tu Xiaosan was thinking about going straight to Lianghuai to help the general, Tu Xiaosan discussed with Lin Jing, Lin Jing's cheeks were sunken, and only a pair of big eyes were left on the whole face, Lin Jing said , "Is it Lu Qing who is more important, or King Jinling?"

Tu Xiaosan said, "Naturally, the King of Jinling is the most important, but, Ah Jing, if something happens to General Lu, the court will not allow you and me to hold the seal of the General. It may not be so when the new General arrives. If we can Saving the life of General Lu is a great kindness to him."

Lin Jing sighed, "If you and I have an army of 3, why worry that Lin'an City will not be destroyed." It's a pity that they only have [-] soldiers and horses, and they have to divide their troops to guard Xiangjing and Jingjing. Thousands of people can go all the way to Lin'an City. This kind of combat power, let alone the entire imperial court, is outstanding. Even the King of Jinling can only close the six gates in front of the Guanwai army, and dare not fight. .

Lin'an City could not be attacked for a long time, in the end, Lin Jing followed Tu Xiaosan's wishes and led his troops northward to assist General Lu in Lianghuai.

Even if Lin'an hadn't been captured, along the way, Lin Jing would have snatched everything that could be robbed by the troops from outside the pass, and set fire to the ones that could not be robbed, and the King of Jinling couldn't keep anything!

It was not until the troops from outside the Guan Dynasty arrived at Lianghuai that they discovered that General Lu’s strategy had been to divide the two armies into the south, but the army from outside the Guan had gone south smoothly. They had fought from Jingzhou to Lin’an and then to Lianghuai. Duan Tianyu's rebels were trapped in Zhenjiang.

As soon as the Guanwai army arrived, they took advantage of Duan Tianyu's retreat one after the other. However, Duan Tianyu seemed to be on guard.Fortunately, the Imperial Capital Army and the Guanwai Army joined forces, and the two sides fought fiercely for half a month. During this half month, each other won and lost. In the end, Duan Tianyu led his troops to retreat.

To follow Lin Jing's temper, he must lead his troops to hunt him down.However, it was not easy for them to win, and the troops outside the pass were seriously injured.Not to mention the Imperial Capital Army who fought against Duan Tianyu for less than half a year.Even General Lu was seriously injured. If the Guanwai Army hadn't arrived in time, the Imperial Capital Army would have been completely buried at the hands of Duan Tianyu.

This battle was too tragic.

Rao Lin Jing's heart of stone is also very sad.

When Lin Jing saw Lu Qing, Lu Qing was already not well.

Lu Qing was leaning on the couch, the blood oozing from his chest stained the red gauze. Lin Jing had been in poor health since he was a child, and he had learned medical skills from Shu Jingyun when he was young. I can't say how superb he is, but he is much better than some street doctors.The accompanying imperial physician had already died in battle. The current doctor was found by Zhenjiang City. Lu Qing was seriously injured. Lin Jing felt Lu Qing's pulse and read the prescription prescribed by the doctor. Lin Jing adjusted the weight of several medicinal materials. The doctor said, "This prescription is the rejuvenation prescription used by the medical sage. It is naturally very good, but this prescription needs a thousand-year-old ginseng. Now in Zhenjiang City, it is difficult to find a thousand-year-old ginseng."

"I have it here."

The doctor immediately beamed with joy when he heard that, Lin Jing handed the ginseng to the doctor and ordered him to go down to decoct the medicine.There was an ominous grayness in Lu Qing's face, but his spirit was fair, and he said, "My injury is not serious, why waste good medicine." Only heard but not seen.Ginseng that has been around for hundreds of years is already a rare treasure, and real ginseng that has been around for a thousand years is a rare treasure that cannot be found.Even if Lin Jing was on his body, it was also a life-saving treasure.

"I brought this to save my life. What's more, I can't eat such a ginseng plant alone. Things are for use. The general is not a stickler, so why be polite to me."

Lu Qing sighed, "I'm ashamed to see Ah Jing, and I regret that I didn't listen to what you advised me at the beginning."

Lin Jing originally did not suggest fighting this battle. Without him, the imperial court would have had the upper hand.The second town of Jingxiang in the Hanshui system has already been taken down by the imperial court, and it is stationed by troops from outside the pass.The Lianghuai water system, Jinling, and Zhenjiang are also under the control of the Imperial Capital Army.This important town along the river is in the hands of the imperial court.Why do you need to fight, as long as you seal off the river bank and let it pass away slowly, why worry about the injustice in the south of the Yangtze River?

"What does this have to do with the general? The court is eager to suppress the bandits, so can the general disobey orders?" Lin Jing said, "Even now, the general does not need to be discouraged. We are not considered a loser in this battle. The rebels will die." People are no less than us."

Lu Qing was dejected, "There is not one out of ten imperial capital troops, one hundred thousand imperial capital troops, and now there are only 2 troops left. How is the situation of the troops outside the pass?"

Lin Jing said, "There are still more than 3."

Lu Qing shook his head, "The two generals Bai and Chen were killed in battle, and I am injured now. The Imperial Capital Army, Ah Jing, please worry about it."

"Yes." Lin Jing said, "This is probably the strategy used by Duan Tianyu and the King of Jinling. We went down from Jingzhou and did not meet any elite rebel soldiers. The general led the imperial army to fight against Duan Tianyu's main force. Duan Tianyu's troops were not It will be less than 2. In the end, Duan Tianyu brought back only [-] horses. General, we should report this matter to the court."

Lu Qing said, "That's good too. There must be an explanation to the court."

As soon as Lin Jing arrived, the burden on Lu Qing's shoulders suddenly became much lighter.In addition, it may be that the thousand-year-old ginseng that Lin Jing took out had extraordinary effects. After Lu Qing took the medicine, his injury improved greatly.

The three discussed how to rebuild after the war. For one thing, the post-war pension had to be urged by the court to issue it first.Second, to replenish the supply of troops, the imperial court must be quick to do so.What Lin Jing meant was whether to conscript troops on the spot.

Lu Qing said, "Let's hear what the court wants first?"

Lin Jing knew that the army was seriously depleted due to this battle, and Lu Qing was worried that the court would blame him, so he was careful in everything.In fact, if it was Yilin Jing's, there was no need to report the truth. The imperial army died a little more, and the local recruits made up for it. It's okay to underreport the casualties.However, Lu Qing was extremely loyal and refused.

As a result, life was buried on this loyalty.

When the imperial court reprimanded the imperial edict, after hearing the imperial edict, Lu Qing spat out a mouthful of blood and passed out. After that, his physical condition declined all the way, and before the imperial envoy left, Lu Qing passed away.

It's really unjust to die!

Lin Jing was so angry that he rolled up the imperial decree, and slapped the imperial envoy who delivered the decree. The imperial envoy's face was swollen. Tianyu's 20 army, also [-] back, is this a defeat? What do you mean by "I hope that the general will take the lives of his soldiers and fight loyally?" You have the ability, you come to fight! I will not serve you!" If the soldiers leave directly, the imperial envoys will not be able to stop them!

When the imperial envoy saw that Lu Qing was dead, he immediately knew that something was wrong.The point is, Lin Jing is not that kind of loyal minister.The imperial envoy was about to ask Tu Xiaosan to intercede, Lin Jing's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he yelled at Tu Xiaosan, "If you don't go, you stay!"

Tu Xiaosan didn't dare to leave, seeing Lin Jing furious, pulled out the sleeves that were dragged to death by the imperial envoy, immediately got on the horse, chased beside Lin Jing, and comforted him in a low voice, for fear that Brother Ah Jing would be angry and hurt himself.

When Lin Jing said he wanted to leave, he didn't mean to scare anyone. Within half a day, the Guanwai army left the camp, leaving behind the imperial envoy who delivered the order, wanting to cry without tears.General Lu Qing of the Guanwai Army had just passed away, and the two subordinate generals, Bai and Chen, were also killed in battle. There are still generals, but their rank is too low, so they can at most take care of their own affairs.As a result, the [-] imperial capital troops, eating and drinking, all fell on the head of the imperial envoy.
