reborn on the happy hall

The Hu army was defeated, and the third prince was also captured alive. At least half of the crisis in the capital was resolved.As for the changes in Beijing and the internal strife in the court, Lin Xiao and others were not able to participate, and of course they did not want to participate.It was just unexpected that the garrison in the city had clearly sent spies to the barbarian camp to investigate, and knowing that the enemy had been defeated and the danger was lifted, the city gate was still closed.

Both the major general and the young patriarch are not fools, so what is there not to understand with such a clear attitude?In the final analysis, the court could not trust the Qiang people, so the Qiang people outside the capital were in an embarrassing situation, and Lin Xiao, who was among the Qiang people, was also in an embarrassing situation.

Sure enough, a messenger was sent from the capital that night, and after finding Lin Xiao, they only expressed one meaning - what are these Qiang people doing outside the capital, and they want to rebel?If you don't want to cause trouble, let's leave quickly.

This is not giving any benefits, and after using it, I plan to throw people away lightly!

Lin Xiao was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Although it was selfish to persuade the Qiang people to send troops, but then again, fighting is doomed to death. If there is no benefit, how could Di Rui and his son agree?Because it was your love and my wish, so Lin Xiao didn't feel guilty for dragging the Qiang people into the water, but now that the battle was over and people died a lot, the court didn't give them anything, so what happened? !

The Major General was so angry that his liver ached, if he hadn't been worried about the General's Mansion behind him, he would have raised his fist to beat the messenger!But if he is angry, he is angry, his arms can't twist his thighs, he is just a small general, so what can he do?

At that moment, guilt and helplessness filled Lin Xiao's heart. It was all because he was young and innocent, thinking things too simply... At this moment, Lin Xiao completely forgot that it was his father who asked the Qiang people to help him. The conditions are also listed by his father.He was so young and ignorant that he would never have imagined such an ending. How could his own father, who had spent half his life in the military and court, not have imagined it?

General Lin didn't think of [-]%, but he could think of [-]%.Of course, he only thought that the court might turn his face and deny people, but he didn't expect that the gates of the capital city were never opened to the Qiang people from the beginning to the end.

All in all, this situation is really aggrieved and embarrassing.

Lin Xiao was furious, but Xia Han took this opportunity to ask the courier, and confirmed that there was no serious problem at Xia Shilang's house. In the past, a courier naturally didn't know about such things, but who caused many murders in the city? Well, as long as the families of the ministers who have not been exterminated are considered good - so Xia Han can be regarded as relieved, and is not so eager to enter the city.

After seeing off the messenger, Xia Han communicated with Lin Yun again, and Lin Yun turned to her brother to convey Xia Han's meaning.

For Xia Han, it is true that these Qiang people relieved the crisis in the capital, and it is also true that they saved her parents and family.Especially when she learned that the family had been exterminated in the city for a month, she was even more grateful to the Qiang people who defeated the Hu people, so after entering the city, she would go to persuade her father to give the Qiang people what they should be compensated.

Of course, Xia Shilang is just a servant, even if he becomes a minister, he is not the only one who has the final say on such a major event.What's more, Xia Han is only his daughter, so it's not a problem to act like a baby in private, but Xia Shilang doesn't necessarily listen to her about political affairs.It's just that Xia Shilang is not stupid, and there is no shortage of people with a big picture in the court. Presumably, they are willing to give some benefits to buy these brave Qiang people.

The DPRK and China are in chaos now, who came up with such a stingy and offensive idea?

The brothers and sisters chatted together for half the night, analyzed the court situation with their shallow knowledge, and finally decided to let the Qiang people retreat first.But the compensation and benefits cannot be forgone. After entering the capital, Xia Han will be the one to discuss with Xia Shilang.

In the end, Lin Xiao still sighed helplessly: "I don't want to be a dishonest person, and the Qiang people have indeed lost a lot this time. When we enter the city, let's try our best to deal with it. This matter will also trouble Xia Han .”

Lin Yun naturally agreed, and she also had a part to maintain the reputation of the General's Mansion.

The siblings settled the discussion, and Lin Xiao went to find Di Rui to discuss it again, but the latter punched him without saying a word, scolding him for wanting to cross the river and tear down the bridge.His teeth were loose from the beating, and it was hard for him to fight back. In the end, Di Rui was stopped by Di Xuan.

Such a situation was really embarrassing. As for crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, Lin Xiao certainly never thought about it.The upright major general sticks to integrity, not to mention he doesn't dare to be dishonest - he has seen his daughter-in-law's destructive method of dispensing medicine, does he dare to be dishonest?It really annoyed the Qiang people, not to mention fighting, as long as they throw some strange poisons into the city, it is possible to massacre the city in minutes!

Of course, Lin Xiao thought too much about massacring the city, and doing so would be detrimental to peace.But not wanting to do it is not incapable of doing it. Lin Xiao doesn't want to test the Qiang people's details and cause more trouble...

Finally, under Di Xuan's mediation, Di Rui managed to hold back his temper and listened to Lin Xiao's speech calmly.

Leaving aside the rest of the words, Lin Xiao's final promise was: "If the imperial court is really worthless, then my General's Mansion will bear all the compensation for the deaths and injuries of the Qiang people."

The young patriarch laughed angrily when he heard this. He sneered and asked: "The general's mansion will bear it? Can your general's mansion afford it?! I, Erlang, a Qiang man, died five thousand and injured eight thousand. Your general Can the government afford this pension? How much do you plan to give? Besides, you pretended to be big and gave the pension because you wanted my sister to marry into your general’s mansion and eat chaff and vegetables with you?!”

This is not polite to say, but it is also true.Of course, the general's mansion is not short of money, and the pensions of the [-] dead and wounded troops can be given together.But the Qiang people are not soldiers, they have not received military pay, and they have no obligation to defend their home and country, so this pension must be a different matter.

Lin Xiao thought about it, and didn't know if his family could afford the money, but what could he do in such a situation?He can only grit his teeth and take the matter down first, otherwise the court will not know what will happen.

What if the Qiang people are really labeled as rebels, and what if the Qiang people send troops to implicate the general's mansion again...

The man behind the scenes in Chaozhong has not been caught yet, but it is really uncertain whether he will take the opportunity to retaliate against them who ruined his plan.Even if he knew that the situation was tense, the other party probably wouldn't dare to be so blatant, but Lin Xiao couldn't afford to bet on the eventuality.

After weighing the pros and cons again, Di Rui finally had no choice but to compromise, but in the end he still got a "guarantee letter" written by Lin Xiao himself and stamped with his seal——guaranteed by his status as a major general in the general's mansion, no matter what, at least This pension will also be given to the Qiang people.

I just don't know if General Lin would be so angry that he would hold his own small treasury and vomit blood if he knew about his decision to take trouble for himself.

****************************************************************************

Di Rui's actions were quite fast. Since he decided to trust Lin Xiao one last time, he took the letter of guarantee and led the Qiang army back first.He left quickly, without even delaying half a day, leading the people to evacuate at noon the second day after the messenger left the city.

Before leaving, Lin Xiao gave him a few more words of advice, and the young patriarch seriously responded after listening. The two seemed to have no quarrel.

The Qiang people left like this, and the originally vigorous battlefield outside the city seemed to be deserted in an instant.The imperial court was shocked by the decisiveness of the Qiang people. The garrison guarding the city sent out scouts again and again, until it was confirmed that the Qiang people had really left. The army camp sent troops to clean up the battlefield.

The gate of the city was opened, and a group of people were finally able to enter the city.

There is no such thing as being shy about being close to home. After entering the city, Xia Han hurried home to check the situation, and Lin Yun naturally accompanied her.Lin Xiao led his daughter-in-law all the way because of Xia Han's guarantee, in order to contact Xia Shilang to help them seek compensation and benefits for the Qiang people. Followed to Xia's house.

The Xia family was still the same Xia family, although the entire capital city looked rather depressed, and there were a few mansions on the road that seemed to be suddenly dilapidated, but the vermilion gate of the Xia family was still bright.

When the guard knocked on the door, the concierge saw the eldest lady who had been away from home for a long time suddenly come back, and his eyes widened in shock—no one in the Xia family thought that Xia Han would come back at this time, and he came back so quickly quick.But after the news spread into the mansion, not only Xia Han's brothers, but even Xia Shilang who happened to be at home were alarmed, and then greeted him personally.

The reunion of family members after the crisis is naturally moving and embarrassing.You know, when Xia Han took Lin Yun away last year, she still had resentment in her heart, so many things could happen in more than one year——Lin Yun's rebirth made her no longer complain, but she was glad in her heart.The crisis in Beijing in the previous month made her even more worried, and she no longer remembered the estrangement in the past.

The father, daughter, brother and sister were excited for a while, but Xia Shilang was the first to notice these people who came with Xia Han.

Needless to say, Lin Yun, Xia Shilang noticed the closeness between the two inadvertently, so in his eyes, Lin Yun was already a good son-in-law who put him back on the right track.As for Lin Xiaoxia's assistant, he also recognized Di Xuanqiang's identity with sharp eyes.

Xia Shilang was very shrewd, since Lin Xiao came back with Xia Han, he vaguely guessed Lin Xiao's purpose.Calmly glanced at the major general and his wife, he waved his hand and said: "Okay, all go to the mansion, Han'er, you came back so soon, after returning to the mansion, I will have a good talk with my father." experience these days."

Xia Han naturally agreed, and the group of people, surrounded by guards and servants, soon entered Xia's mansion.

Entered the mansion, closed the door, and sent out all the idlers.Xia Shilang turned around suddenly, cast his sharp eyes straight on Lin Xiao and his wife, and asked, "It is a great achievement for the major general to lead the troops here to relieve the crisis in the capital. Your Majesty will not forget to reward you for your meritorious service .I just don’t know why the young general came to my house at this time?”

Lin Xiao didn't wait for Xia Han to stand up for him, so he took the initiative to bow his fists and said, "Master Xia, this junior came to ask for something, please take a step to speak."
