The bright moon was in the sky, and one person and one rider were galloping fast on the quiet and deserted pipeline, awakening a few birds in the camp, and flying away into the distance.

Immediately, the man was dressed like an official post soldier, with a bamboo tube on his back.When he arrived at a post station, he didn't get off his horse, but went straight into the gate, and fell off the horse tiredly, shouting while running, "Hurry up, six hundred miles to the capital!"

The people inside asked for information, and also shouted: "Send it to the capital in six hundred li urgently."

A soldier hastily took what was in the hands of the original post soldier. Someone had already brought out a horse, turned on the horse neatly, and galloped out. The previous post soldier was already exhausted and was helped to rest.

The next day in the capital, the Royal Study Room.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Xiao asked to see him, and said that Jiangnan sent an urgent document for six hundred miles!"

"Please!"

The servant went out to announce the decree, and the Prime Minister Xiao Yu stepped into the hall, his steps were a little messy, it seemed that something was not trivial.

"Chen Xiao Yu has met His Majesty, long live..." Xiao Yu knelt down to salute the emperor, but was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"All right, all right, excuse me, how is Jiangnan?" the emperor waved his hand.

Xiao Yu stood up. An old man in his 60s walked too quickly just now. When he knelt together, his body stumbled unavoidably.He took out a document from his sleeve and touched it with both hands: "Please take a look, Your Majesty!"

The emperor's eyes darkened. Normally, Xiao Yu, the prime minister, did a good job. At least he kept his own place. He didn't have great talent, but he didn't make big mistakes either.But isn't it a bit old!After receiving the document and reading it, his brows were slightly frowned, but his expression was normal. Xiao Yu scrutinized the emperor's every move slightly, but he couldn't see any major changes, and he didn't know what it meant.

"I didn't expect the Zuoxian King of Nanyi to be able to bear it so soon. Oh, Xiao Aiqing, can you tell me if there is any credit for my good nephew and good sister-in-law?" The emperor put away the documents, looked at Xiao Yu and asked .The document says that three days ago, King Zuoxian of Nanyi launched a mutiny, killed the king of Nanyi, appointed the five-year-old Wang Shizi as king, and launched a war against the Celestial Dynasty. His good nephew, the eldest son of Prince Su, was the vanguard general Now it has been connected to several cities.

"Well, it's hard for an old minister to say..." Xiao Yu bowed and said, this is related to the affairs of the Tian family, and he is not something that a foreign minister can say.

"Hehe, you are just being too careful!" the emperor laughed, "Speak up, forgive your innocence!"

"The old minister dared to speak out. The old minister thought that since the eldest son of the former five princes of Nanyi Zuoxian was the vanguard, it meant that at least they were of the same breed. The five princes were punished by His Majesty, and it was inevitable that his son would harbor resentment. Instigate, I guess I wish I could go to war sooner?"

After hearing this, the emperor smiled and said: "Your words are also reasonable. Since the two countries have already started a war, we are not afraid. I have already prepared for the Jiangnan incident. The only thing I am afraid of is that they will not move! You go to draw up an order, and take the Jiangnan big Governor Lin Ruhai is the Marshal of the Southern Expedition, and the Eighth Prince Shui Rui is the Deputy Marshal, and they will gather all the soldiers and horses in the south of the Yangtze River to fight against the Nanyi!"

"Your Majesty, is this a bit hasty, do you want to discuss it with the ministers?"

"Xiao Aiqing, I have been preparing for this matter five years ago. The Nanyi militant party is eyeing the Central Plains. I know that there will be a war between the two countries sooner or later. I have to be more vigilant! Since it is inevitable, it is better to take advantage of the enemy It will be solved when it is not strong enough. It was the first move to send King Nan'an to Jiangnan, and use him to paralyze the militants in Nanyi. After King Nan'an was captured, Lin Ruhai's entry into Jiangnan was the core of the whole arrangement. Over the past year, he has trained [-] elite soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River. These soldiers are strong warriors drawn from various places in the south of the Yangtze River. , there are [-] people who are good at water warfare, and they are all ready to go. The government in the south of the Yangtze River is harmonious, and the officials and the people are of the same heart.

Xiao Yu clasped his hands to plead guilty and said: "It's the minister who is being abrupt. Since His Majesty has already made a decision, the minister will go to draw up the decree!"

*****

In the hall of the Suzhou Military Mansion, Lin Ruhai is in the commanding position, with the generals of the Jiangnan Military Mansion standing side by side.Behind the commander's seat is a huge military map.

Lin Ruhai lingered in front of the map for a while, frowned and pondered for a while and said: "Now that the Nanyi is in emergency, the Lingnan region has already conquered several cities. This commander and you are ordered to defend against the enemy, so we must do our best. The Nanyi soldiers are strong, Our original arrangement can't last long. For the current plan, we must rush to the rescue as soon as possible. The terrain of Lingzhou is dangerous, and it is the hub of the north-south transportation. It is the place where the southern barbarians must pass. I don't know which general would like to go?"

"The last general is willing to go!" The eighth prince was the first to speak.

"The last general is also willing to go!" General Song Huaiyi also came out and cupped his hands.

"The last general is willing to go!" The soldiers said in a hurry, most of the soldiers were straightforward, and they exploded in a short while, all staring at Lin Ruhai and waiting for his decision.

Pressing down with both hands slightly, he made a quiet movement. After the hall became quiet, Lin Ruhai pointed to the location of Lingzhou on the map and said: "Lingzhou is a long way away, and it is closer to Nanyi. If you want to catch up with Nanyi To get there before, the road must be marched in a hurry, and the road is full of dangers. Besides, this is our first vanguard, so victory is not allowed to be defeated. Before leaving, you must issue a military order. If you return in defeat, you must be dealt with by military law. I don't know who has the certainty of victory?"

All the generals hesitated for a moment after hearing this. After all, it is easy to ask for a battle, but it is difficult to win. In case of defeat, the military law is not easy.

While the generals were hesitating, the Eighth Prince stepped forward and said, "The last general is willing to go!"

General Song Huaiyi was a step too late, and also stepped forward and said: "Marshal, let the last general go, the eighth prince has a noble status, so it's better not to put yourself in danger, the last general has fought so many wars, I haven't seen any scenes before, This battle is not a problem." The Eighth Prince's status is different, and he is likely to be the heir to the status in the future. If he loses the battle, the Marshal will be embarrassed.It's hard to rule the law if you don't deal with it, and you will inevitably offend the royal family if you deal with it, it's better for him to take this matter, he won't frown even in a battle that is more difficult than this, so don't worry!During these days of getting along, he has also seen the insight of the eighth prince, and he is also a person who can be a Mingjun, so he really shouldn't put himself in danger.

"Yes, yes, the last general is willing to wait. We generals are also capable of fighting, and there is no need for the deputy commander to go out in person!"

Shui Rui also knew the concerns of these people, but since he came to the battlefield, he didn't intend to just hide behind the scenes. A man should gallop on the battlefield, besides, he was confident that this battle was still sure.He stepped forward and said: "Marshal, I have made up my mind, please do it!"

"Okay, since the Eighth Prince is so ambitious, Lingzhou will be handed over to you! I will give you five thousand light cavalry, and you go to Lingzhou overnight. Make sure that Lingzhou is still under our control before the army arrives!" Lin Ruhai said , this kid has some guts, and he has learned the art of war well in the past two years, and it is time for him to practice.He wasn't worried about whether he could keep Lingzhou, if he couldn't even do that, he wasn't worthy to be Lin Ruhai's son-in-law, and the past two years were worthless!Hehe, it won't be long before the Zuoxian King of Nanyi should be worried!

"Yes, the last general is in charge, as long as he has a breath, he will definitely not let Lingzhou fall into the hands of the enemy!" Shui Rui said.

"Okay, be ambitious! I'm giving you five thousand crossbowmen, and I'm going to block the Nanyi soldiers to the south of Lingzhou!" The eighth prince said.

"Gaowei!" Lin Ruhai called again.

"The last general is here!" It was the big man who toasted Lin Ruhai wine at the Fengfeng Banquet a year ago. (See Chapter 60)

"You go with the eighth prince and listen to him!" He felt relieved to put this lucky general next to the eighth prince. After all, he was the future son-in-law he recognized, so how would he explain to his daughter in case something happened.There is no way to talk about such things as luck, but I have to say that Gao Wei does have good luck. With him, I hope that the bad luck will be turned into good luck, and the death will be auspicious!

"Yes!" Gao Wei stepped out to salute, Lin Ruhai nodded and returned to the line, and looked at the Eighth Prince innocently, grinning and sending out a silly smile.

"General Song!"

"The end is here!"

"It is reported that the main force of Nanyi has gone to Lingzhou, and the rest of the counties are much easier. You bring [-] crossbowmen to help other counties, the faster the better!"

"The last general takes orders!"

"As for the other generals!" Speaking of Lin Ruhai's words, all the generals stood at attention and listened to the training, "Follow me and the army!" Standing in front of the commander, Lin Ruhai naturally exuded a kind of intimidating majesty, which made all the generals There is an inexplicable illusion: follow the marshal and you will be invincible!

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison, and the voice resounded through the hall, full of confidence.

After the discussion was over, Lin Ruhai left the Eighth Prince alone.The eighth prince can be regarded as he watched him grow up, and he became an adult in just a few years, half a head taller than him, with a handsome figure and a heroic face, he is worthy of his own daughter!If it was in the capital, it is estimated that those rich and noble ladies would not be able to hold back the red line. Even in Suzhou, there are many young men who are envied, but because of his noble status, no one dares to mess around, otherwise it would not be the case laid back!

"Eight princes, Lingzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although it can't reach the point where one man can guard the gate and ten thousand can't open it, it is not easy for the enemy to break through. Having said that, there are many people in Nanyi who are good at climbing, so we should be careful The best thing is, don't fight recklessly when the enemy comes to attack, but delay the time, and when the army arrives, Nanyi will not be afraid!" He took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it to Shui Rui, "You must wear this jade pendant at all times. You can't leave your body for a moment, remember to remember!"

The jade pendant was given to him by his daughter, and there is a protective formation in it, which can protect him from danger three times.When he came to the military mansion today, his daughter specially gave him two jade pendants and asked him to pass one to the Eighth Prince, just in case there was an emergency and he had to leave the army immediately, and it was too late to send it out in person!

Shui Rui took the jade pendant and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mrs. Lin, and thank you Miss Lin for me, I will keep it well!" Of course, the things Yu'er gave him should be kept close to him. He is very familiar with Yu'er's carving techniques and habits.With a single glance at Shui Rui, he knew who made it, and at the moment, he just felt warm in his heart, sweeter than drinking honey, and wished he could grow wings and fly in front of Lin Daiyu!

Alas, it's a pity that he is on military affairs again. I don't know if Yu'er will write to him?Sometimes I really envy Sa Zi, who can play and act like a baby with Yu'er to her heart's content.However, the bird seemed to be getting too far, forgetting who was its first owner.Because he and Yu'er cultivated a relationship and caused sabotage, didn't he just accidentally drank its fruit wine? As for being so narrow-minded, why don't you teach him well next time we meet?

"Well, I will. If you have nothing to do, go prepare it!" Lin Ruhai said, he deliberately didn't say that it was given by his daughter, but he was able to see it right away. It seems that his daughter has given him many things in the past two years. Ah, why don't you recognize it just by looking at it?

Alas, the daughter can't help the father, the young eagle always wants to be released, as long as the daughter lives well in the future, he has no regrets!
