Chapter 80: It's the other way around
The world was boiling, and the suspicions that had been in place for many days were finally confirmed at this moment, and the whole world seemed to be plunged into an endless panic.
Speculation about the ghosts has once again reached its highest point, some say that they are three feet tall, with four eyes, three heads and six arms, and even their eyes are much larger than human heads.
This kind of panic has spread in the world, and has even caused many soldiers to desert from the army.
In their eyes, their opponents are not humans, but ferocious beasts that walk on land.
And the forces of all parties finally let out their words, agreed to the caliber, and will assemble in the shortest possible time to form a coalition army to rush to the border of Daliang to stop the invasion of the ghost clan, and Daliang is willing to provide all the materials for this march.
The cultivators even said that if the ghost clan wantonly slaughtered, they would no longer abide by the non-interference treaty signed at the lecture conference, and were willing to join forces to resist the attack of the ghost clan and help the world seal the ghost clan again.
After ten years without a war, the world seems to be shrouded in the smoke of war again. This time, however, the enemy was not the human race itself, but the unknowable ghost clan who called themselves the Holy Race.
"Master Hou, I can't go. "The blue sky is clear, and his face is hideous.
The annual meeting of the border troops was finally brought forward by a month under the measures of a clear sky.
But arriving earlier than the meeting was a military order from the imperial court.
"Ordered Wuhou Lin Jinrong to be the commander of the reinforcements on the West Han Road, and led the border army of 50,000 into Liang to resist the invasion of the ghost clan. For the time being, Lin Jiajun's deputy Lin Han Guangren is in charge of the defense work in southern Xinjiang. Chin this. ”
Wu Hou's face was a little heavy when he looked at the will, and the generals in the hall had already exploded.
Lin Jinrong naturally knows that the border is dangerous and people's hearts are unpredictable, but the king's order cannot be violated, but it is a mountain that presses on the heart of this loyal minister.
"Your Majesty, this is trying to use the hands of the ghost clan to consume the strength of the Lin family's army, Master Hou must not go. Besides, the ghost clan's manpower is as big as an ox, how can mortals like us resist it, this is obviously sending them to death. Gu Tang's Zhenxi Army is the closest to Daliang, why do you want to send my Lin Family's army. Your Majesty wants to get rid of the heart of the marquis, I'm afraid it won't be so simple to go and come back. "Han Guangren has followed Lin Jinrong for nearly 20 years, and he was Lin Jinrong's old subordinate when he was a soldier in the border army. Tears have already fallen.
"Master Hou, let's do the opposite. Bi Kongqing's eyes widened, and the body kneeling on the ground suddenly jumped up, his eyes widened, and he looked at Lin Jinrong with a hint of expectation.
"Yes, Master Hou, it's the other way around. We will only look forward to the Hou Ye's horse. The generals in the hall had already seen that the imperial court wanted to get rid of Lin Jinrong, but because of the strength of the Lin family's army, they certainly didn't want to suffer from this nest anymore.
Han Guangren looked at Lin Jinrong's face that was about to get angry and sighed slightly, and also took two steps back, kneeling on one knee on the ground.
"Master Hou, what Kong Qing said is right, let's do the opposite. Take advantage of the chaos in the world to provide us with a good way out of Canghai City. No longer subject to the cowardship of the imperial court. ”
Lin Jinrong's face that was about to get angry finally showed a trace of helplessness after Han Guangren stood up, "Guangren, why are you just messing around with these children." The latest and fastest update of the imperial court naturally has its faults, but after all, we are still Han people, and I think that sooner or later Your Majesty will feel the heart of our country. Even if I want to rebel, now is not the time, people in the world will poke my backbone and say that I, Lin Jinrong, are against because I am afraid of the ghost clan. But I, Lin Jinrong, am not afraid. ”
Lin Jinrong slowly stood up and sat around the door of the generals sitting in the lobby and said: "Everyone may think I'm stupid, but I think I'm doing the right thing, if Your Majesty really wants to get rid of me, I will naturally resist, but in the face of the righteousness of the world, I hope you don't lose this minimum moral bottom line." Of course, our Lin family army is the Lin family army of Canghai City, but the premise of having Canghai City is that there is a world. ”
Speaking of this, Lin Jinrong cleared his throat: "A total of 50,000 people from the two divisions of Bi Kongqing and Zhou Ziqian will go with me. The defense of Canghai City was taken over by General Han Guangren, and 25,000 people from the border army Zhao Heng were sent to Jingyang City near Dugu Gorge to garrison. Stand up to your posts and wait for me to come back. ”
When all the generals in the hall heard Lin Jinrong's last arrangement, they nodded with some understanding and stopped talking.
The annual border defense conference also came to an end in an atmosphere of compassion for everyone.
In the entire lobby, only Han Guangren, Bi Kongqing and Zhou Ziqian were left.
"Guangren, after I leave, you immediately send someone to Youxian Mountain to find Ji'er, and in case of an accident, immediately let him go back to Canghai to help you take care of Canghai City. Lin Jinrong sighed and stretched out his hand to stop Han Guangren, who wanted to speak.
"I know, I just said accident. Lin Jiajun may be the one you command, but Canghai City is afraid that you can't hold it down, remember to always pay attention to the movements of Dugu Gorge. I will ask Kong Qing to hand over the intelligence network of Canghai City to you, if there is an emergency, you don't need to report to me, you can deal with it yourself, but the bottom line is not to harm the people. ”
"Yes. Subordinates receive orders. Han Guangren's eyes were red, and he felt that Lin Jinrong seemed to be explaining what was going on, and he had thought about everything that might happen in Canghai City for himself.
"Kongqing, you will hand over the dark line between Zhongjing City and Dugu to General Han tonight. Then help me inform Mr. Xing and ask him to follow me on a trip to the beam. ”
"Ziqian, all your cavalry is brought to Daliang, you are ready overnight, no one carries two horses, three days of rations. ”
"Yes. Hou Ye. Bi Kongqing and Zhou Ziqian received orders at the same time, and the three of them turned around and left, and Lin Jinrong was the only one left in the huge lobby in an instant.
Of course, he knew the meaning of His Majesty's move, Han Guangren was known for leading troops to defend and never rushed, presumably this was also His Majesty's intention to let him take over the border army.
Once he can leave himself in Daliang, then Lin Jiajun will become his bag sooner or later. And these generals who are close to him are afraid that they will be uprooted little by little. This is what he does not allow, and it is also his final bottom line.
Thinking about too many things, Lin Jinrong was a little tired. He leaned back in his chair and looked at the dome of the lobby, his eyes glazed for some reason.
The Canghai City he had worked so hard to support seemed to be about to collapse, and he could only pin his last hope on his son, who was not yet eighteen years old.
"Ji'er, do you blame your father for fighting for you too little in the world?" Lin Jinrong kept repeating this sentence, his voice gradually becoming smaller, and finally disappeared.
The Marquis of the Han Dynasty, the first general in the world, fell asleep on this Taishi chair that had been used for nearly ten years.
A beam of wind that came in out of nowhere blew in, blowing up the two long hairs on Lin Jinrong's sideburns, and the long hair waved in the air, like a cold winter snow.
"Old Xing. Bi Kongqing knocked on the bamboo door of the small courtyard, without exerting much strength or even making the slightest sound. But the bamboo door opened slowly after he knocked on it.
Without any surprise, Bi Tianqing walked into the quiet small courtyard in the corner of the Lin Mansion and pushed open the door.
There was no bed in the room, only a table of eight immortals, a chair, and a jar of spirits that had been opened.
The old man sat on the ground and didn't open his eyes, but Bi Tianqing had already leaned over and bowed.
said softly: "Hou Ye is going to lead the army to the border of Daliang in the next few days, and he hopes that Xing Lao can accompany him." ”
"When will that kid Lin Ji come back?" Xing Lao didn't open his eyes, leaving only three fingers of his right hand in front of him, motionless.
"I haven't informed the prince yet, I'm afraid it will take some time. ”
"I see. ”
"That empty sky is goodbye. ”
The small courtyard has restored its original calm, and there is no trace of decline in Xing Lao, who has fallen into the realm of knowledge and microaggressions, how can an old man who has been in the world for a long time change his Dao heart because of the decline of the realm.
It is precisely for this reason that Xing Jianqiu's cultivation has recently returned to the immeasurable realm, but he is not in a hurry.
"So that kid should go to the Zhiwei realm, don't you want to catch up with me?" Xing Lao said to himself, and then smiled self-deprecatingly.
Then his closed eyes suddenly opened, and he whispered to the roof where he couldn't see anything: "Yu Yaozi, I'm here." ”
