Born of Worry

Another day later, Lin Ruxuan and Yang Qingping received a secret letter from Li Xian at the same time.

"Your Excellency... who is it?" Yang Qingping couldn't help asking, looking at the woman who delivered the letter.

"Xuanyu Intelligence Department, Shen Ji." Wearing a silver mask, the woman clasped her fists without any fluctuations in her voice, "I will be in charge of correspondence between His Majesty and the two generals from now on."

Lin Ruxuan and Yang Qing looked at each other in dismay. They didn't know where such a woman popped out, but they still lowered their heads to open the letter. However, after just bowing their heads, the woman had disappeared, and when they looked again, her figure was already several feet away. ups and downs.

"It's so easy." Yang Qingping praised.

"Leave her alone and read the letter."

The content of the letter also basically told them not to act rashly and wait for support, etc., which was basically the same as Lin Ruxuan's strategy.

Half a month later, Li Xian sent another [-] infantry soldiers to Xinzhou. Food and grass arrived with the army, so Lin Ruxuan and Yang Qingping made a plan to attack Daizhou.

But who would have imagined that this dozen... turned out to be three months.

Weiyang, Ruyuexuan.

"His Royal Highness Yu Wang is so excited, why did you remember that we are drinking at Ru Yue Xuan?"

"See what you mean, you don't welcome me?"

Xiaoying refilled his wine glass, "How dare you. Come, fill it up for you. We are like Yuexuan, but I wish your Highness could come more times."

Li Ye snorted lightly, "Why do you expect me to come? Give you money?" After taking a sip of wine, he smacked his lips and shook his head, "This 'Watching the Moon' still smells like that... It's a pity that you Ruyuexuan are no longer those people. .”

"What Your Highness said, isn't Xiaoying still Xiaoying?"

"You are still you," he reached out to pick her chin, "but you are like the moon, you are not here anymore."

Xiaoying patted his hand, covered her lips and smiled lightly: "Your Highness remembers Sister Ruyue. By the way, Sister Ruyue hasn't come back yet?"

"No. It's enough for me to say that she is good enough. She has been away for more than half a year. Maybe she hasn't come back after finding a lover outside." Li Ye shook his wine glass, "Hey, didn't you say that you Is Ru Yuexuan going to change her name? It's been three months, why hasn't there been any movement?"

"We won't change it."

"Why didn't it change again?"

"Many customers don't want us to change it, and they won't come if they change it, so we don't change it."

Li Ye nodded, "Oh...Actually, I don't think it's necessary. The name Ru Yuexuan is pretty good."

Xiaoying sat next to him, rubbed his shoulders, and said softly: "Your Highness, your wishful gentleman...is he still fighting outside?"

"yes……"

"Then why don't you go to him?"

"I'm looking for him? Why are you looking for him? That's the front line, wouldn't I just add to the trouble if I went there." He waved his hand, "Oh, don't mention him, he's not here, and my brother doesn't have time to talk to me, it's a really helpless day pass."

Xiaoying laughed at him: "Your Highness, you are lonely."

"Yeah, lonely, empty and cold..."

Li Ye came out of Ruyuexuan drunkenly, and suddenly knocked himself on the head halfway: "Oh, it's broken, it's broken, I forgot the business..."

So he hurried to Xie Yan's house, the job assigned by the emperor had to be done.Now Xie Yan's family is still only his old mother. Since Xie Yan murdered and escaped three years ago, Xie's mother has been getting older day by day. Now it seems that her head is full of white hair without a single strand of black hair.

It is also strange to make people feel distressed.

After some inquiries, there was still no news from Xie Yan, as expected, this kid is usually a filial son, since this happened, he never came back once, it is really decisive and cruel.

... But it is enough to get a glimpse of his temperament of daring to kill on impulse.

If this kind of person becomes powerful, it is definitely not something easy to deal with.

Li Ye greeted Xie's mother a few more times, and returned to the palace without staying any longer, inquired with the eunuch and learned that Li Xian was in the study again, so he had no choice but to go to the study to find him.

Since the last time it was haunted in July and a half, Li Ye simply did not live in Wofeng Palace, and moved to Yulong Palace to accompany Li Xian. Anyway, Mo Wen and Lin Ruxuan were not there, so the two brothers depended on each other, so they also watched Li Xian bid farewell. what happened.

Seeing him coming, Li Xian frowned slightly and said, "Did you go to Ruyue Xuan to drink again?"

"That's right." Li Ye lay down on the bench covered with animal skins, closed his eyes and said, "Hey, I've been to Xie's house, but that kid Xie Yan still hasn't come back."

Li Xian was not too surprised, "Well, he probably won't come back, unless he doesn't want to live."

"Hey, this case has been going on for more than three years...Is the father still not letting go of this matter?"

"It's not so easy to let go. After all, he was a good friend for most of his life. He died so unexplainably. No one can bear it."

Li Ye folded his two long legs on the armrest of the bench, and put one arm behind his head, "That's true. Then the Luo family's son was not found?"

"No."

"It's really weird. You said that the Luo family... has also dominated Gusu for dozens of years, so let's finish with that..."

Li Xian dipped his pen in the ink, "The tree attracts the wind."

"Yes, the trees fell and the monkeys scattered, and the walls fell and everyone pushed them. Normally, even if there is a grudge, I dare not say anything, but Luo Zhitian died..." Li Ye "tsk tsk", "No matter what you do, this signboard If it gets bigger, it’s still not good.”

"Don't forget, you are a member of the royal family, and there is nothing bigger than the 'signature' of the royal family."

Li Ye closed his eyes and raised his eyebrows, fearing that the world would not be chaotic and said: "That's true, maybe one day, our Dayin will be mobilized and attacked, and the dynasty should be changed."

Li Xian smiled, "Third brother, you can't spit out ivory from your mouth, but after drinking, you can't even spit out dog's teeth."

"Oh, if I can't spit it out, I can't spit it out. I'm not a dog. Where can I spit out my dog's teeth for you." He turned over, "I'll sleep with you for a while, don't sweep me out."

From the beginning of August to the end of November, from autumn to winter, they still failed to capture Daizhou.

Lin Ruxuan was also very depressed. He fought dozens of times, big and small, and each time he was so passionate that he ordered the whole army to have a quick fight. I'm still chasing, you turn around and I'll retreat, and the army horses in the Central Plains can't outrun the army horses in the grassland at all, let alone the soldiers approaching the city, but just trampled the dozens of miles outside the city of Daizhou.

In addition, this Daizhou is sandwiched between the north and the south mountains, and it is impossible to get around, and it is not easy to turn over. Forty miles away, there is such a timed bomb at Yanmenguan, which makes people really angry. Yang Qingping's eyes were already blushing due to the scolding, and he wished he could find out one by one of these bastard grandsons to relieve their hatred.

If Yanmenguan is not taken back, Dayin will not be able to rest for a day, but if he wants to take Yanmenguan, he must first take down Daizhou. It is nonsense to bypass Daizhou and force Yanmen.Lin Ruxuan studied the map over and over again. As the commander in chief, he couldn't mess himself up. If he didn't calm down, he would not only harm the [-] soldiers, but also the states and cities behind.

Seeing that the new year is approaching, not to mention that the people in Daizhou have no intention of celebrating the new year, even the people in several nearby counties are in panic. If he can't attack again, the general's face will really be lost.

On December [-]th, Lin Ruxuan finally decided to attack with the whole army and directly replace Zhou.

In the first few days, he led [-] Lin family troops to cross Mount Wutai, bypass Daizhou, and cut off Yanmenguan's support to Daizhou. Yang Qingping led the rest of the army to storm Daizhou City from the east gate.

His move was dangerous, if the two sides did not cooperate well, Yang Qingping would not be able to attack by force, Lin Ruxuan and the 2 people would be flanked by Yanmen Daizhou, but the entire army would be wiped out.Fortunately, although Yang Qingping has a quick temper, he can still fight, and with the help of Xuanyu's intelligence department, the timing of the two sides is just right. Lin Ruxuan on the other side blocked the Yanmen's troops, and Yang Qingping's army on the other side came and stormed the tower. Kill Tahan so that he abandons the city and flees from Ximen.As soon as Lin Ruxuan heard the sound of horseshoes rolling towards him, he immediately waved the military flag and shouted: "Back!"

The Lin family's army did not dare to fight anymore, fearing that they would be attacked by the two armies, they quickly broke through and hid in the mountain depression. The defeated army threw away their helmets and armor, and fled all the way to Yanmen. military.Lin Ruxuan saw that the yelling was not good, and rushed into the army alone regardless of the danger, waving the military flag vigorously: "Withdraw the army——!!!"

But these soldiers have been frustrated for four months, and they finally won such a victory, and they are excited, so how can they let it go.Lin Ruxuan led his subordinates almost shouting, and finally made the army stop only ten miles away from Yanmen, and he shouted loudly again: "Retreat——! Retreat to Daizhou——!!"

[-] soldiers and horses returned to Daizhou in mighty force, and stationed five miles outside the city of Daizhou.When Lin Ruxuan returned to the barracks, not only did he not have the slightest joy, but he was full of anger, and when he called Yang Qingping over, he scolded him:

"Yang Qingping!"

Yang Qingping knelt and cupped his fists: "General."

"How did you lead the army! You said that you will not chase or chase, what are you doing after chasing for thirty miles!"

Yang Qingping raised his head and said angrily: "General! Why didn't you chase after him?! Our [-] troops went straight into Yanmen Pass! Kill those sons of bitches out of my Dayin!"

"Bastard!" Lin Ruxuan kicked him, "Are you fucking crazy?! Do you know what's going on outside the pass?! You know that there are no troops stationed outside the pass?! If a hundred thousand troops come over the border, can you resist it? !"

"General! Where did they get a [-] army! If they had a [-] army, why didn't they attack earlier! Why wait so long!"

"Shut up!" Lin Ruxuan was about to be annoyed by him, "Yang Qingping, Yang Qingping, how many times have I told you that you can't just fight with blood and use your brains! Isn't it enough for us to be tricked by Tahan! If we If you have the strength to retreat from a strong enemy, how can you delay until now?! The opponent has set up traps everywhere, waiting for you to drill! Why can't you see it until now!"

Yang Qingping lost all confidence in being scolded by him, but still wanted to argue: "...General!"

Lin Ruxuan interrupted him directly, without giving him a chance: "Do you know what's going on at Yanmen Pass now? Yanmen Pass is notoriously easy to defend and difficult to attack, not to mention there is a fucking Cao Han! Who is Cao Han? He How many years have you stayed in Yanmenguan! No one is more familiar with the terrain of Yanmen than him! If you go in rashly now, they will close the gate and beat you! As many people as you bring in, you can die!"

He walked back and forth two steps in front of him, "I ask you, today you defeated Tahan, but you tell me, how about their casualties? How about our casualties? They were beaten to pieces by you, then you tell me How many troops did they lose!"

"I don't know the details yet... But judging from the current situation, it should... be better than the crowd."

"What about us?!"

Yang Qingping finally lowered his head, "When we... attacked the city, we lost a lot... But it should be about this number..."

"Okay, I don't want to waste my time with you." Lin Ruxuan waved his hand, "Why did we defeat Tahan, but the casualties on both sides are almost the same? Think about it yourself. Everyone is tired today, rest early, and tomorrow morning Let's go into town and have a look."

"……Yes."
