The Founding of the Red Chamber

Lin Jing left in a fit of anger, and the entire army outside the pass followed suit, but whether it was going back to Jingxiang or outside the pass.Fourth disciple Xu Nian and others came over to ask, Lin Jing flicked his horsewhip bitterly, "Go back to Jingxiang!"

Lin Teng persuaded, "Uncle, if we leave, we wonder if the imperial army can defend the two Huaihe Rivers?" The troops outside the pass are powerful, but these imperial army have thousands of wounded soldiers, and Lin Teng is really worried.Lin Jing was furious, "I didn't hear the imperial decree saying 'the lives of the soldiers are the next thing'! Hurry up and clean it up!"

Seeing his uncle's expression, Lin Teng didn't dare to say a word. He went out and said to General Liao Shen of the Imperial Capital Army, "You heard it too. The general is the death of a heartbroken general..."

"As soon as the general is gone, the two generals Bai and Chen have already died in battle. We really don't know what to do with the military affairs in Huaihe River and Huaihe River."

Lin Teng was also in a dilemma, "Otherwise, you should go to Jingxiang with us. It is really not easy to guard the Huaihe River now."

General Liao Shen was very hesitant, but Lin Teng also had an idea, "All of you, go to General Li (Tu Xiaosan) first and talk about your difficulties."

It was not the first day for General Liao Shen to fight. He knew very well that once the troops from outside the Guan had left, he resolutely defended the two Huaihe Rivers with the remnants of the imperial capital.General Lu fell ill and died. Even if they wanted to defend, they were afraid they would not be able to.They were not General Lu, they were loyal, and eventually they were reprimanded by the court, and they lost their lives because of it.They always have to take care of themselves first.

Several middle and low-ranking generals approached Tu Xiaosan, who was very loyal and said, "We are in Lianghuai right now, so we are worried that the rebels will attack Jingxiang. Our troops are limited and it is difficult to divide them. If not, we can concentrate One place, let's go to Jingxiang to resettle."

General Liao Shen said, "The lower officials all listen to General Li."

Tu Xiaosan sighed, and told Lin Jing about this in the past, Lin Jing didn't say anything, just said, "Tell them to hurry up!"

Seeing that the army pulled out its camp, it was about to abandon the city.The imperial envoy was dumbfounded, even if his face was swollen by Lin Jing, he still had to ask about it.No one in the army paid any attention to him.

After packing up their things that day, the army left the camp.The imperial envoy didn't care about anyone else, and rushed over to grab Lin Jing's reins, begging bitterly, "If Lianghuai is a strategically important city, once it is abandoned today, how many soldiers will be able to take it back in the future. General Lin, think twice!"

Lin Jing whipped his two claws away, Lin Jing said angrily, "Find someone like Lu Qing to take back Lianghuai for you!"

The imperial envoy let out a painful wail as he hugged the bloody hands that had been torn apart by Lin Jing.When the army pulled out of camp, the imperial envoy had already left with his accompanying bodyguards.Lin Jing received this reward, snorted coldly, summoned Lin Teng, and gave some soft instructions. Lin Teng's face turned pale with fright, and he whispered, "Uncle, that's an imperial envoy."

"Put on the clothes of the rebels and kill them all for me."

It was the first time in Lin Teng's life that he did such a thing, and he didn't know about the sudden death of the three soldiers in Jinzhou City. If he knew, he wouldn't think it was so strange.Lin Jing then ordered people to cremate General Lu's body and put the ashes into the altar, and ordered the remaining personal guards of General Lu to take the bone altar back to the imperial capital and put it in the ground for safety.As for the imperial envoys, they stayed forever on the way back to the imperial capital.

When Tu Xiaosan left Lianghuai, he couldn't help but sigh, "Once you leave, you don't know how long it will be when you come back?"

Lin Jing snorted coldly, and Tu Xiaosan said, "If some of our people are left behind, these two towns will not be impossible to hold."

Lin Jing was in a very bad mood. Hearing what Pu Xiaosan said, he just added fuel to the fire, and said angrily, "Does your cavity look like a human head or a pig's head!"

In a fit of anger, Lin Jing scolded Tu Xiaosan as well.

Tu Xiaosi said to Fa Cai, Xu Nian and the others, "Ah Jing is getting angry right now, and my brother is going to die, so let's not provoke him."

When Lin Jing was angry, only Tu Xiaosan dared to talk to him.Lin Jing said harshly, he couldn't get out of the camp that day, and the God's Capital Army, not to mention the large number of people, the Emperor's Capital Army still had a lot of weapons and supplies to take with them, so the front troops left first the next day.After Tu Xiaosanyi's persuasion at night, Lin Jing finally felt better, and was willing to explain his behavior, Lin Jing said, "You think it's a pity to lose the Lianghuai River, and you feel that some of our own soldiers will come out, I can defend it until the reinforcements from the imperial capital arrive. Let me tell you, I can indeed defend it. But, I don’t want to defend it. The court is so mean and ungrateful, even to General Lu, let alone you and me? Let me tell you, once the court finishes repelling the rebels , and then it's ours!"

"Now the imperial court doesn't know that we have besieged Lin'an. If it is under the imperial court, it will definitely issue an order to inquire about this matter, asking why we didn't capture Lin'an city?"

"It's worth asking, if we can capture Lin'an City, why don't we attack it?"

"But this falls in the eyes of the imperial court. After analysis by those senior officials in the imperial court, they will be accused of being unfavorable for marching!" Lin Jing panted, "Don't worry about what the imperial court is doing now. In the past two years, our military strength How much is the loss? If you don’t replenish your troops, you won’t be able to end up with General Lu in the future? You still want to divide your troops to garrison the two Huaihe Rivers? Do you want to dedicate your life to the court?”

Tu Xiaosan is also used to Lin Jing's way of speaking, he doesn't care about the lingering anger in Lin Jing's words, think about it carefully, isn't it.Even if the troops were divided to defend the two Huaihe Rivers, once the reinforcements from the imperial court and the new general arrive, I am afraid that they will not accept the feelings of the foreign troops.And if the Guanwai Army does not increase its troops, facing the reinforcements from the imperial capital, then the status of the Guanwai Army can be imagined.

Of course, this is thinking of the worst, but in the past twenty years of his life, Tu Xiaosan, his life experience is that it is always good to think of the worst in everything.

Tu Xiaosan asked Lin Jing to wake him up, and Tu Xiaosan hurriedly said, "I didn't expect this at the moment, thanks to you, Ah Jing, who are careful."

Tu Xiaosan quietly asked Lin Jing, "Is the imperial envoy settled?"

Lin Jing lowered his eyelashes slightly, and said calmly, "Didn't you see that bitch, I whipped him on the hand out of anger, and there was a look of complacency in his eyes? He ran to the imperial capital without saying a word, and the other was I am afraid that if we leave, the affairs of the Imperial Capital Army will fall on his shoulders, and he must not be crushed to death. The second is that he is anxious to take the wounds on his face and hands so that the Imperial Capital can sue me." This kind of person, Lin It's no wonder Jing can keep him alive.

Tu Xiaosan couldn't help sighing, "The rebel army is nothing, it's just the imperial court's all sorts, which is chilling."

In this way, the [-] troops abandoned Lianghuai and went to Jingxiang.

Even the King of Jinling couldn't believe it when he heard the news, thinking that Lin Jing had set him up some trick.As a result, three groups of scouts were sent, all of whom said it was true that the imperial army had indeed withdrawn from Lianghuai.As for the inner reason, once the imperial army left, they really couldn't figure it out.However, the withdrawal of the imperial court is a good thing.The King of Jinling immediately ordered Duan Tianyu to take over the Lianghuai military. The King of Jinling repeatedly warned, "Lin Jing has always been cunning and changeable. Tianyu, when you come to Lianghuai, don't be careful."

Duan Tianyu led the troops away, but found that the imperial army had really withdrawn without a single one left. This has indeed become something deeply puzzling to the rebels.

The 4 troops returned to Jingxiang after a month. After the troops settled down, the first thing Lin Jing and Tu Xiaosan did was to recruit troops.

As for the court, the imperial envoy couldn't wait to go back, but waited for the ashes of General Lu to go back. At this time, the court knew that Lu Qing had relapsed and passed away.The soldier was not a politician, so he naturally said something. When the court asked, the soldier truthfully said, "The general received the imperial edict from the envoy, and immediately vomited blood, so he left."

The imperial court asked the imperial envoy again, where did the imperial envoy go, and how did the personal guard know.Anyway, the imperial envoy sent back the imperial decree and never came back.Let's say he was heroic, but he didn't see the corpse, let's say he was still alive, and he didn't return to the court.

However, the imperial court can't care about imperial envoys now, because the imperial court was shocked by the news of the fall of Lianghuai.Lu Qing is dead, the dead are the most important, so no one will talk about Lu Qing anymore?However, there is a lot of discussion in the DPRK and China about how the Guanwai army is doing!

However, no matter how much the imperial court talked about it, they hadn't even waited for a memorial from the Guanwai Army.

Chen Qibao finally couldn't sit still, and discussed with Lin Yi, "There must be a reason for withdrawing from the two Huaihe Rivers. Today, the troops outside the Guan are recruiting troops in Jingxiang, but they have no explanation for the court. Otherwise, what is the intention of the troops outside the Guan?" ?”

Lin Yi said, "Your Majesty can send imperial envoys to Xiangjing for inquiries."

Chen Qibao said, "General Lu's personal guard said that Lin Jing seemed to be dissatisfied with the imperial edict, and at that time Li Qinchai's face was swollen."

"I remember that General Lu's personal guards also said that 20 rebels besieged Zhenjiang City. In the end, the remaining rebels were only [-]. The remaining soldiers of the Imperial Capital Army were also about [-]. According to what I saw, the Imperial Capital Army Although there are quite a few losses, but the battle is like this, it cannot be said to be a disastrous defeat."

Chen Qibao sighed, "Why don't I regret it, the words in the decree are too harsh. Otherwise, General Lu would not have died from his injuries."

Lin Yi was silent.

Chen Qibao said, "I think Lin Qing and Lin Jing are more familiar after all. This time, Lin Qing will be the imperial envoy to Jingxiang to see what the situation is like. When Lin Qing returns to court, We can also discuss how to send troops in the future."

Lin Yi bowed, "Yes."

"I know that Lin Jing's temperament is too clear. I think he was also furious about the matter of General Lu. The Lin family has been loyal for generations. Even if Lin Jing has established his own family, I think he still has the character of the Lin family. "Chen Qibao said.

Lin Yi was always by the king's side, and knew how much effort the emperor had put into the matter of going south to reel the bandits. Seeing his haggard face now, he sighed deeply, "I understand."

The author has something to say:

What I want to say in this chapter is: Lin Jing is really not a perfect person. In fact, among all Shitou’s articles, the characters in the founding of the country are the most imperfect~~~
