Chapter Seventy-One - The Envoy of the North Forest
"Why do you always think things are so simple? If it weren't for the great general, our brother would have died at the reward meeting after the great victory over Shen Zhifu!"
Seeing that Ma Yi and the others were surprised but confused, Liu Changan frowned, and knew what they were going to say without thinking about it, so he picked up his words without waiting for them to speak.
"The general went to the shipyard at the beginning of his entry into Binzhou City and asked us to repair the ship, do you think it was just a whim? Every time the general does something, he has already thought about many things later. ”
"Although the general has not yet made his words clear, we must understand that the general is not an ordinary person!"
Ma Yi and the others uh nodded.
"We all know that the Great General is not an ordinary person. ”
Liu Changan almost didn't suppress his temper.
"Are you all donkey-heads?
"But... We..."
"The reason why I came to Tianxiong Island is not so much that the general listened to my advice, but that I saw the general's plan! The purpose of our coming here is not to help Guangwu regain the lost territory! Do you understand?!"
In the last sentence, Liu Changan felt that his strength was about to be exhausted.
Ma Yi and the others just opened their mouths wide and were speechless for a long time.
This time they understood, but it made their minds even more spindle.
They had thought about occupying the mountain as the king before, and as for what Yang Fengqing had planned, it had not appeared in their minds since they could remember.
Liu Changan didn't say anything anymore, just watched their reactions.
The reaction now determines their future relationship, and there is no room for mediation.
"Big... Eldest brother... This... This... We..."
"If it was the general who first entered Binzhou City, I would definitely be the first to rebel, but now..."
"It's done! If there is chaos today, Guangwu may be shattered one day, and then those of us who followed the general first..."
Ma Yi's words made the fear and entanglement in the eyes of others quickly disappear, and what appeared was recklessness and enthusiasm.
Liu Changan carefully swept over the nine people again, and none of the nine people's eyes dodged. Finally smiled and nodded slightly.
"The general didn't say anything about this, but you all have to know what to do in the future. ”
"Yes!"
After Ma Yi and the others were excited, they had questions.
"Big brother, we are sixty miles away from Gui'an City and eighty miles from Beimo City. It is only forty and fifty miles away from the city of larks and the ancient city of Jing. There were at least 30,000 defenders in those two cities, and they were all battle-hardened. If they attack us suddenly, will we, the 30,000 men, be able to hold it?"
"Don't worry, there are scouts in both directions. And when we go into the city, if we spread it, it will make them wonder for a long time. ”
......
In Skylark City, the sheng flags on the city wall cover the sky, and the figures overlap, and there are more than 30,000 Beilin troops on the city wall alone!
In a certain courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, the three Lin Deyi brothers, Cai Neng, and some descendants of the Lin family looked anxious and looked at the courtyard gate from time to time.
Not long after, the neighing of horses came from outside the courtyard.
Lin Deyi, who values etiquette the most on weekdays, got up and ran out first, followed by the others.
After a while, an old man with a white beard and a lot of pressure was welcomed into the room by a group of people.
After sitting down, Lin was impatient to speak.
"Uncle Man Hong, over there in Beimo City..."
Lin Manhong interrupted Lin Smug's words and looked at Cai Neng.
"Who is he?"
"He is the messenger of Prime Minister Guangwu Cai. ”
Lin Manhong did not show respect, he was still cold.
"What are you doing here?"
Cai Neng got up.
"The prime minister wants to recover Tianxiong Island, and he deliberately asked the lowly official to discuss relevant matters with the general. ”
Lin Manhong picked up the teacup in his hand and smiled in his tone.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is the third time that Guangwu has said that he will recover Tianxiong Island, right? You have broken your trust twice, and now Guangwu has taken care of himself, and you say so, do you think we will still believe it?"
"Uncle Man Hong, Guangwu is not teasing us this time. The Lingnan Tianjia has landed in Nanhe, and Guangwu and an army are about to land on the island. ”
"This time it was the Guangwu Army that invaded Linqiu and other three cities, but..."
Lin Manhong squirted out the tea in one gulp, splashing Cai Neng's body. Cai Neng's face was as usual, and he took the cloth towel handed by the person next to him.
"I said it once yesterday, and now I'll say it again. The Guangwu army that invaded the three cities such as Linqiu came from Liaodong, because that cavalry was the majestic cavalry under the rule of General Tianhe Weifeng. ”
Many people in the Lin family were skeptical, but Lin Manhong suddenly laughed.
"Haha-don't you think that we are hiding in a corner of Tianxiong Island and are completely deaf and blind to what is happening in Liaodong?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"You don't cry when you don't see the coffin! Let me ask you, did the Liaodong Army begin to withdraw to the Jintianfu defense line at the beginning of the war?"
"Yes, but..."
Tianhe City is only a few dozen miles away from Yuanning City, an important town on the Liaodong defense line. It will definitely be captured on the first day, you dare to open your mouth, the Guangwu army that appeared yesterday is a majestic cavalry?!"
"The majestic cavalry is a cavalry, so it can naturally escape the pursuit of the Cangfeng army. ”
"Hehe-dare to ask in this world, who has a cavalry that is faster than the Cangfeng Blood Tiger Iron Cavalry?"
Cai Neng lowered his face and thought about how to deal with it. Lin Smug, who was sitting on it, his face was already extremely ugly.
Although he is a person from the Lin family, he doesn't know much about these things.
Because he has never focused on Tianxiong Island, his goal in this life is only to unify the three forests.
Lin Manhong is different, he has experienced the great battle with Sakura and saw Tianxiong Island fall apart.
He has always hoped that one day he can unite with Mitsutake, unify Tenxiong, and expel Sakurawa.
The ancient city of Jing controlled by him was located in the southwest of Linqiu, only thirty miles away from the port of Xiyu controlled by Zhonglin.
From time to time, he can come into contact with some businessmen who run from Guangwu, and he is the most well-informed among the senior officials in Beilin.
"Cai Neng, how are you going to explain?"
Cai Neng's previous composure was all faked, after all, even he himself hadn't been able to understand what was going on until now.
"General Lin, you have also seen that they are indeed majestic cavalry. And looking at the clothes of the infantry, it can be determined that they are all Liaodong Army. But what exactly is going on, to be honest, I don't understand either. ”
The more the others listened, the more panicked they became.
"Big brother, the people who came from the forest hill said that millions of Guangwu troops are landing on the island in a steady stream. Our people are now fleeing to Zhonglin through various means, what should we do?"
"I think this person is a spy, Guangwu didn't just land on the island from Nanhe, but also from us!"
"Maybe it's a trick to land on the island from Nanhe, but it's true to land on the island from us!"
"It's better to tie him up and send a message to Lin Qiu Guangwu's army, so that they can return Lin Qiu to us within a day, otherwise we will kill him!"
Cai Neng couldn't sit still any longer, got up and knelt down.
"I am willing to send Lin Qiu as the envoy of the North Forest, and I will definitely investigate the matter to the bottom of it. General Lin can send someone to accompany him, as long as I have any abnormal behavior, he can kill me!"
Everyone in the Lin family first looked at Lin Deyi, and then at Lin Manhong.
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to go with you! No matter how things go, you must go back to Skylark City within a day!"
"Yes! I'll go down and get ready now. ”
After Cai Neng left, Lin spoke proudly.
"Uncle Man Hong, why did you agree to him going back? If he is really a spy of the Guangwu Army, the people we sent will definitely go and never return!"
"The two countries are at war, and they will not be killed!"
Lin Deyi and the others sneered in their hearts, but at this time, they still had to rely on Lin Manhong's combat power and prestige, so they could only pinch their noses and nod in agreement.
Liu Changan has been sleeping in clothes recently, so although it was late at night, the people outside just shouted, so he immediately responded and walked out.
"What's going on?"
"A messenger has come from Beilin. ”
Liu Changan was a little surprised, he originally thought that Beilin would just send a large number of scouts to explore near the forest hill.
"Take them to the side room and wait, I'll come. ”
"Yes. ”
