[Red Mansion] Reborn Lin Ruhai

Bu He failed to sneak into the city in disguise, but lost more than half of his remaining subordinates.Daiyu personally went to see the captives captured by Xiao Cheng. Seven of Bu and the eight maids around him were captured.Only Bai Zhi was missing, she probably escaped with her master.Xiao Cheng has sent people to patrol and search everywhere, and he has also sent additional people everywhere, and ordered that the camp be strictly guarded from now on, and no herdsmen are allowed to enter.Even if he couldn't find it, he gave up Buhe's idea of ​​entering the ice city.

King Hao Guang lost a big arm, so he had to come out to sit in charge in person.

It may be that seeing the repeated setbacks of the coalition forces' attacks, his confidence gradually became stronger, and his old arrogant and self-willed nature gradually returned to life.I think that relying on Jiancheng and his wise leadership, I will be able to fight a beautiful turnaround.Even if it can't regain the vast territory it used to, at least it can keep a relatively stable shelter.Solve the urgent need now, and then Xu Tu lags behind...

There will always be a chance in the future, hmph, he will definitely get back a hundredfold for today's humiliation!

King Hao Guang personally supervised the battle in the mall every day, and the soldiers of Dayue were encouraged, and their fighting spirit rose sharply.

The people of Dayue were already brave, but now with the fortified city as a barrier, and King Hao Guang personally sitting in the town, they seemed to be putting all their eggs in one basket.They tasted the benefits of sticking to it, and for the first time felt that the man-made city in the Central Plains was really a brilliant idea.These days, the soldiers of Dayue are all nested in the camp, no matter how the Shengxi allied forces yell and scold, if they are bitten to death, they will not come out of the wall.Xiao and Li attacked for several days, their weapons were damaged a lot and the enemy army was severely injured, but they still failed to break through the city.

Seeing that victory was in sight, something went wrong with this last step.

It's not that he walked over, it's just that he waited too long.

The soldiers gradually sighed, and their fighting spirit also weakened a lot.

Seeing this, Daiyu couldn't help feeling anxious.She knew that Xiao Cheng and Li Hao must be the same, so she secretly planned to share their worries and problems.When Zhang Huai left, Daiyu found an excuse to stay.When she came, she was dressed in men's clothing. Although she looked stunning, she was dressed in military uniform with a stern and cold face, and she had such a chilling air.Although the soldiers did not know her identity, seeing that Li Hao and Xiao Cheng cared for her, they expected her to be of extraordinary status.Coupled with her icy demeanor, they secretly have a certain awe of her, so they dare not make wild guesses.

Therefore, no one doubted that she disguised herself as a man.

Xiao Cheng arranged for her a position in the history, but in fact it was just a false name, the main purpose was to find a job for her to do, to curb her thoughts of going to the battlefield.

Although she couldn't go to the battlefield, she secretly asked the soldiers about the battle ahead.Hearing about this situation, I thought about it for a long time, and felt that attacking with fire would be a good strategy, so I suggested it to Xiao Cheng.Ice melts when it meets fire, and even if the city wall collapses with only a small gap, you can take advantage of the situation to attack.Without the barrier of the strong city, let's see how the people of Dayue will fight against the coalition forces.

Xiao Chengdao: "Why didn't I think of this level? It's just that the enemy had already taken precautions. When Bu He built the camp, he cleared away the weeds within a radius of five miles, and dug the land within thirty feet around the city into trenches, attracting The river is poured in. It is like a small moat. There is no firewood and other inflammable materials around the camp. Even if they have both, they will not be able to burn the city wall. , a large-scale fire attack is simply impossible!"

The city walls are too thick, and small-scale ones are not a threat at all!

These are all facts, and Daiyu couldn't help frowning.Xiao Cheng couldn't bear him to worry about this, so he said: "Yu'er, you are also tired these few days, go and rest! You don't have to worry about this matter, Brother Hao and I will figure out a way."

Daiyu wanted to say something, but it happened that the master came to look for her, Xiao Cheng hurriedly said goodbye to Daiyu and went out.

When Daiyu returned to the camp, she was still worried, and she went to sleep without much supper.Tossing and turning until the dead of night, when the clock struck three, still not feeling sleepy, I put on my clothes and got up.Daiyu's tent is full of charcoal fire, the amount of charcoal is several times that of Marshal Xiao Cheng's big tent, some were sent by Xiao Cheng, and more were brought by Li Hao.It was warm inside the tent, and Daiyu only wore a jacket, so she didn't feel cold.

The night on the prairie is unusually quiet, empty and boundless, and the sky is full of stars.The vast sea of ​​stars shrouded the earth and sprinkled colorful starlight.It seems to be in the vast world, which makes people feel relaxed and happy, and it seems that the soul has been washed in some way.

Daiyu gently lifted the curtain of the window, and a gust of cold air swished in, making her shiver uncontrollably, followed by the silvery white moonlight and fresh air.Taking a deep breath of the earthy air on the prairie, my head gradually emptied, and I was in a state of full concentration.

Dayue City has been unable to attack for a long time, and if it continues like this, it will be extremely unfavorable to our side.

Both the Sheng Kingdom and the Shi Kingdom belong to the south compared to Dayue, and their cold resistance is not as good as that of Dayue people.The war lasted for several months, and the prairie has been dripping with water, which undoubtedly exhausted both physical strength and patience for the soldiers of the two countries.Coupled with the successive days of occupation and repeated setbacks, the soldiers of the two countries are now exhausted.Judging from the current situation, Da Yue is at a disadvantage in being surrounded by an isolated city.But the situation of the soldiers of the two countries is not optimistic!

The city is hard to attack. Is it really necessary to wait until the weather gets warmer and the ice city melts before attacking?

Not to mention whether Dayue will recover his vitality by then, but judging from the current situation, when the ice city melts, it may have to wait until March.Such a protracted period of time, even if Sheng Kingdom is fully prepared, it may not be able to afford it.Not to mention weapons and food, the wear and tear of soldiers alone may have to go up to a higher level.

No, no, we must minimize casualties!

Not only should the casualties of the soldiers of the two countries be minimized, but also the casualties of the soldiers and herdsmen of Dayue must be minimized!Every life is worthy of respect. The King of the Moon led troops to invade and provoke, and the crime was no worse than that of the people and herdsmen.When a good king conquers a foreign country, he does not want to kill them all, but to make them submit at the least cost, to appease his people, and to make their people live a life of adequate food and clothing.To benefit the people and benefit the people is the way to be a king.

Daiyu secretly made up her mind that she would help her father to be a wise and good ruler!

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind hit, and Daiyu couldn't help wrapping her clothes tightly.She covered the curtain with her hand, returned to the bed, sat cross-legged, her thoughts were still spinning rapidly.

After a sleepless night, Daiyu excitedly went to find Xiao Cheng the next day.There are only Xiao Cheng and Li Hao in the tent, and they have no scruples, so Daiyu said: "Brother Cheng, Brother Hao, I heard that there is not much fodder in Dayue Camp, but is it true?"

In winter, the grass and trees withered, no matter what the horses, cattle and sheep ate were stored fodder, which may have been stored when cloth and camps were built.But no matter how rich this batch of reserves is, it will always be consumed, and it is not bad to be able to support it until now.Most people in Dayue live on cattle and sheep, but without forage cattle and sheep cannot survive, which means that the rations in the city are insufficient.Cattle and sheep will consume forage while they are alive, and if the supply is insufficient, the cattle and sheep will gradually lose weight.Fortunately, it is cold today, and it is not a problem to kill the cattle and sheep and store them for a month or two.

But the most powerful thing in Da Yue is the cavalry. Without fodder, the horses cannot fight, and the cavalry has no use.

What does this mean, that is to say, even if a war starts, it is impossible for Da Yue's army to exert its due strength.

According to Daiyu's speculation, it is not bad to be able to play the original three achievements!

Why is King Hao Guang not in a hurry?

Xiao Cheng nodded and said: "That's true. Before we treated the Dayue herdsmen preferentially, King Hao Guang tried to send people out to collect fodder. But they were all detained by us. People can pass through, and don't even think about bringing a single piece of fodder into the city. Go! Since Buhe escaped last time, the surveillance has become stricter. Not to mention people, even a mouse can't get out of the city! Hmph, as long as they don't leave the city, they will have to consume their original reserves. Let's see how arrogant the Great Moon Cavalry is without the cavalry?"

Xiao Cheng was angry at what he said.In the past, the Dayue people relied on the flexibility and fierceness of their cavalry to harass the border repeatedly, and killed countless innocent people. This time, let them pay with their blood!

Daiyu nodded with a smile, which means that King Hao Guang is desperate to get fodder now, that's right!

"Brother Cheng, I have an idea..." Before Daiyu finished speaking, Xiao Cheng grabbed her arm, leaned in front of her with bright eyes, and asked eagerly, "What idea?" Although Yu has been here not long ago, he has already come up with a few good ideas, which make his eyes shine every time.This time, Xiao Cheng also had high expectations for Daiyu!

Li Hao frowned, and unceremoniously patted Xiao Cheng's hand.Xiao Cheng glared at him, Li Hao said in a bad tone: "You're hurting Yu'er!" Xiao Cheng pouted contemptuously, he controlled his strength, how could it hurt!Those who are in love are the ones who make a lot of fuss—no, it should be the people who eat nameless jealousy, which is simply unreasonable!

When Daiyu was told by Li Hao, she felt a little embarrassed.But seeing Xiao Cheng and Li Hao staring at her helplessly, he could only bear the embarrassment in his heart, coughed lightly and said: "Brothers, why don't we send King Hao Guang some fodder?"

"What, Yu'er, we heard it wrong!" As soon as Daiyu finished speaking, Xiao Cheng staggered and exclaimed.

Li Hao glanced at him, frowned and said lightly: "Cousin, be safe and don't be impatient, after listening to Yu'er—"

Seeing Daiyu and Li Hao's indifferent expressions, Xiao Cheng really felt that he was making a fuss for a moment, and quickly covered his mouth to express his position of keeping silent.ah?wrong!Shouldn't I be surprised to hear such explosive news?What's abnormal is the two of them!By the way, what did Yu'er say, to feed King Hao Guang?Isn't this giving the enemy a chance to breathe?Wait, Yu'er couldn't be possessed by, uh...something unclean!How else would you say such outrageous things?

Thinking of Xiao Cheng, he stared at Daiyu intently, as if he wanted to stare him out.

Li Hao pulled him over and said coldly: "Cousin, you are too detrimental to the image of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces!"

"Ah?" Xiao Cheng was stunned for a moment, and after a while he came back to his senses, pointed at Li Hao and said angrily: "You boy, you—"

When Daiyu saw that the two were fighting again, she couldn't help giggling.These two, like enemies, bicker after meeting for a few words.Of course, brother Hao usually provokes brother Cheng first, alas, who made brother Cheng so stupid?She looked anxious, not to mention Brother Hao?The more noisy the other people are, the worse the relationship will be, but the two of them came in opposite directions, which is quite interesting!Usually he would enjoy watching the fun, but now he still has business to do, so he can't let the two of them bicker and fight.

"Brother Cheng, don't be angry, listen to me!" Daiyu said and pulled the two of them away.

Seeing that it was Daiyu, Xiao Cheng glared at Li Hao and let it go.Not to mention Li Hao, that was Wei Daiyu who was looking forward to it, quite like Xiao Zhelin's attitude towards Lin Ruhai.

Seeing that the two of them were quiet, Daiyu said, "The delivery I'm talking about is not an ordinary delivery. We bundle the fodder into bundles, and the amount must be large. On the grounds that I can't bear to see the herdsmen in the city starve to death, so I use The thunderbolt chariot threw all the fodder into the city at once. King Hao Guang is short of fodder now, and he must have had no time to think about it under the surprise, even if he had doubts in his mind, he would definitely not be willing to throw out the fodder again."

Speaking of this, Daiyu paused, and both Xiao and Li stared at her intently.Daiyu became more and more passionate, and continued: "Once the forage is exhausted, fireballs will be thrown immediately. At that time, the forage beside the city wall had not been cleaned up, and once the fireball was thrown into it, it would be dry wood and raging fire. We are sending some colleagues to set fire to Attack, at that time, attack from inside and outside, Dayue has no time to take care of everything, and there will be chaos. As long as there is a gap in the camp for several miles, our army can take advantage of the victory to attack. The people of Dayue are caught off guard, and they are bound to be defeated. If they are in a hurry, they will not be able to make it in time Dispatch the cavalry. We reserve [-] cavalry on the periphery, and if any soldiers of the Moon escape, we will send the cavalry to chase and kill them. We must fight to solve the future troubles!"

Xiao Cheng and Li Hao couldn't help but applaud after hearing this!Thinking of their majestic men, who have studied the art of war for more than ten years, they are not as good as a daughter!Sad and deplorable, gratifying and congratulatory!

"Okay, let's do as Yu'er said, set fire to the city, and win the battle!" Xiao Cheng slapped the table and said, his tone could not conceal his excitement.

Li Hao also strongly agreed, and said: "I will send cavalry to surround the surroundings, and come to catch turtles in an urn!"

So he immediately convened the generals to discuss the matter, and finalized a final plan, and the action date was on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

Besides, in central Beijing, there is still a lot of joy after the Chinese New Year, and every household is preparing for the Lantern Festival.It is inevitable that the families of nobles and officials have to walk around with each other, and there is no one in the inner courtyard of the Lin Mansion to preside over the ceremony, and Lin Ruhai is not good at this.Xiao Zhelin then sent Chen Zhong to the Lin Mansion to help mediate the etiquette between the various mansions, and after packing up, he returned to the palace.

Not long ago, Xiao Zhelin issued a decree to allow the noble concubine to go out of the palace, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs stepped up preparations. It must be ready before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so that the noble concubine can have fun with her grandchildren on the Lantern Festival.This matter dragged on for some days, before Daiyu disappeared, Xiao Zhelin and Lin Ruhai couldn't care about it, and then it was Chinese New Year, so naturally they missed it again.It's finally come to the Lantern Festival, and no matter what, the wish of the imperial concubine must be fulfilled.

Naturally, Lin Ruhai couldn't hide the news of Daiyu's stay in the frontier.Even though he has a gentle personality, he couldn't help losing his temper when he heard that Xiao Lingwei sent his daughter to the battlefield.With Xiao Lingwei not in front of him, it was only natural that the doormat became Xiao Zhelin.After losing his temper, he figured it out. His daughter's character can't be restrained just by restraint.

At this moment, he couldn't help but miss the gentle, peaceful and sentimental daughter in his previous life.Thinking about it, I can't help but feel sad, Daiyu is far more intelligent than ordinary people. If this intelligence is properly guided, she will be a talented girl like Xie Daoyun and Li Yi'an.Once going astray, it is easy to form a sensitive and suspicious temperament.Because you are too smart, your thoughts are often too delicate, and you can observe the people and things around you more meticulously, and you can better tell whether the people around you are sincere or not.If you are surrounded by imaginary and submissive people, it is easy to form a cold and arrogant personality.

This was the case when Daiyu was in Jia's house in her previous life.

Every time Lin Ruhai thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

If it wasn't for the fact that she entrusted her to someone else, her daughter wouldn't have been bullied in Jia's house, and she wouldn't even have anyone who would love her sincerely.I can only feel sorry for myself, feel sorry for myself, and finally pin my pursuit of ideals on Jia Baoyu.I poured out all my feelings, and my hope was in vain, and I died in mourning!

Every time Lin Ruhai thought about this, he hated Jia Baoyu to the bone.An irresponsible dude who has no sense of responsibility and the ability to challenge the family, why bother to provoke his daughter?He didn't take it seriously when he was provoked, and flinched at the slightest resistance. Afterwards, he was fine, as if every girl deserved to be teased by him.Is it tolerable or unbearable?Therefore, even in this life, even if Jia Baoyu knew nothing about the Jia family's rebellion and rebellion, Lin Ruhai did not intend to spare him the slightest bit.

Besides, all the pride and motivation of this kind of pampered son comes from the noble family that supports him, even though that noble family has already been riddled with holes.Without this support, he would definitely live worse than a beggar!Instead of letting him linger on, he should be cut clean according to the law!

On the [-]th, the border was victorious. Except for a few thousand soldiers of Dayue who died in battle, the rest were all captured, and the herdsmen also voluntarily surrendered.King Hao Guang was captured. Bu He escaped outside the city and is now missing.The good news was urgently sent to the capital six hundred miles away. This time it can be described as a complete victory. Lin Ruhai read the good news over and over excitedly.His daughter has finally grown up. Although she doesn't grow into a gentle and courteous lady like ordinary noble girls, it is another kind of growth, isn't it?

Lin Ruhai didn't think there was anything wrong, if her daughter really married to the country of Shi in the future, wouldn't she be able to develop a ladylike temperament?What the empress of Shiguo needs is decisive and heroic women, how about delicate and weak women?

Xiao Zhelin saw that Lin Ruhai was holding the newsletter again, so he walked over lightly and snatched it away.Lin Ruhai glanced at him angrily, with threats in his eyes.Xiao Zhelin took a sip, obediently put the news into Lin Ruhai's hands, and said with a smile: "Ruhai, our daughter is not bad, she is much better than those men!" On the pillow, let Lin Ruhai lean against him.

Lin Ruhai lifted his chin and proudly said, "That's natural!"

Xiao Zhelin smiled, Ruhai is a gentle and gentle gentleman, and only in front of himself can he show such an arrogant look.After thinking about it, he felt a sense of accomplishment. He gently straightened Lin Ruhai's loose temple hair, smiled and rubbed him vigorously, and echoed: "That's that, isn't it all because of your teaching?"

Lin Ruhai glanced at him happily, sat up abruptly and said: "The army has not set off yet, I will go to the border to pick up Yu'er!" Seven or eight days had passed since the news of the [-]th battle reached the capital.The twelfth day of the second lunar month was Daiyu's birthday, and the army obviously couldn't catch up before then.Lin Ruhai thought that her daughter had made a great contribution this time, and although her identity remained unchanged, it was still necessary to celebrate in private.It happened that this time I went to pick her up by myself, and by the way, I also helped him celebrate his birthday.

"Have you decided?" Xiao Zhelin stared at Lin Ruhai and asked.

"I thought about it very clearly!" Lin Ruhai said firmly.

"Then I will accompany you!"

Lin Ruhai looked back at him, with some disapproval in his eyes, "Where are you free, and you are not going to court?"

Xiao Zhelin rubbed his nose and said, "Yu'er is also my daughter, why can't you go to me? Besides, the prince is 28 years old, and I have already handled political affairs independently when I was his age. This time is just right, let the prince exercise hard Exercise!" Meeting a lover who urges him to work hard all day is not good, there is no freedom!

Lin Ruhai laughed. As the king of a country, his desire for control and power is often higher than that of ordinary people.The emperor often established a prince in his early years, but he cared a lot in the early days.When the prince is old and has his own circle of power, when he starts to speak out in the court, he often feels that his power is threatened and starts to be suspicious again.It's good for this one, because he can't wait to push everything to the prince, and be the shopkeeper himself, so he won't be afraid of being ostracized in the future.

Xiao Zhelin is naturally not afraid. He has been an emperor for decades, if he can't even control the court, wouldn't he be too inferior?Not to mention Ruhai, even he looks down on himself!
