Chapter 81
The drums were noisy, the sound of firecrackers, and the brothers of the Lin family married their sisters. Riding a horse and walking on the side of Lin Yu's sedan chair, Lin Zimo was full of emotion, recalling his previous life, he was already in a dream, and in the past few years since he came to the Han Dynasty, the family has depended on each other, and several brothers and sisters have helped each other and become harmonious.
A person's whole life is to be young and snuggle up to her parents' knees, grow up to start a family, and then face a strict society, and then raise her children to watch her grow up, and she is also like her grandparents, gradually aging.
Looking at the brother-in-law walking in front of him in high spirits, Lin Zimo smiled bitterly, could it be said that he has lived two lifetimes, his body is not old, and his mood is old?
The wedding was grand and grand, although the atmosphere in the capital was extremely low because of the war, but after all, it was the marriage of the new upstart Jing Wangjun's sister, coupled with Uncle Zhao's popularity for many years, the people who came to congratulate him were still shoulder to shoulder.
The brothers of the Lin family, as Lin Yu's maiden brothers, were arranged to sit at the main table. There was an endless stream of people who came to toast Lin Zimo, and every time he touched his lips, the toasters went away happily. Although I am very impatient, my family still has to mix in the officialdom, and I still have to have enough face.
When he got home, Lin Zimo was slightly drunk. Seeing the flush on his face, Zhu Rui hurriedly asked someone to serve hangover soup and complained: "Why do you drink so much wine?" Look at tomorrow and get up with a headache. Lin Zimo likes this half-cloud-like feeling, as if he doesn't take it to heart. looked at Zhu Rui and smiled: "I can't say whether I'm happy or unhappy today, I'm a little upset, so I drank more." Zhu Rui asked him to serve the empty bowl, looking at his rare drunken state, his lower abdomen tightened, and he lowered his head and kissed him: "I know, Zimo is happy that his sister is married, but he is reluctant to marry his sister." Lin Zimo raised his head and said happily: "That's what it means." Under the light, the already beautiful people exude charming charm.
Zhu Rui was itching, waved his subordinates down, and personally served him to take a bath. After a while, there was a sound in the room that made the servants blush and their hearts beat.
A few days after Lin Yu got married, news of defeat came from the border one after another. Zhu Rui was busy almost every day until the middle of the night, and his frowning brows never relaxed, and Lin Zimo was also nervous, scolding those enemies who had nothing to do with it several times a day.
Half a month later, the form was even more tense. On this day, Lin Zimo was reconciling accounts in the mansion, and An Le came in in a panic, his face turned pale, and he stammered: "Wangjun, no-no." Lin Zimo raised his head and frowned: "What's wrong?" An Le cried with a sad face: "I just received the battle report, the commander of the three armies, Chang Yue, was killed in battle, and the loss of 80,000 soldiers was lost. โ
Lin Zimoteng stood up for the first time: "What? What's going on? An Le said: "I heard that the enemy army was ambushed, and our horses were not strong, and the battle was defeated. Lin Zimo sat down in a panic, so many people died at once, he couldn't say what he felt in his heart, tens of thousands of people! Is the life just gone?
On that day, Zhu Rui didn't come back for a day and a night, and Lin Zimo had a bad premonition. Sure enough, at noon on the second day and a half, Zhu Rui, whose eyes were bloodshot, came back in a hurry, watching him stop talking, Lin Zimo's heart sank, could it be said?
Zhu Rui held his hand, his face full of guilt: "Zimo, I'm sorry, I took the Northern Expedition Shuai Yin." Lin Zimo's head buzzed, his eyes widened to look at him, Zhu Rui was even more uncomfortable, and hugged him into his arms: "I'm sorry - I'm sorry, no one in the court can take charge, I can't watch my father's foundation disperse." โ
Lin Zimo stalked for a long time before he said: "There are so many generals, can't you choose a marshal?" Zhu Rui hugged him and sat in the chair, eye to eye: "It's not that I can't choose, there are many parties in the court, the civil official faction, the military attache faction, the prince's faction, and the royalist faction, each arguing endlessly, however, the form is urgent, the emperor has no choice but to let me be in charge, I, no one can pay attention to the prince, but no one can find a reason to oppose it." โ
So, this matter is already a foregone conclusion? After all, it is a man, to clean up his mood, Lin Zimo said: "Okay, since it has been decided, let's go to the commander, and there are still a few days to go?" I'll pack my things and go together. Zhu Rui hurriedly said: "Don't go, this is different from the last time I went to Yanshan County, if you don't get it, your life is in danger, you and the children are still waiting for me to come back at home." โ
Lin Zimo glanced at him, stood up from his arms, and shouted: "Xiao Yan, pack up for me, and follow the prince in a few days." Zhu Rui stood up helplessly, he had always known that Zimo was not an inner house woman, and he would not honestly stay at home and wait for her husband to come back. It's just that this time it's really dangerous!
Zhu Rui was out mobilizing the army's grain and grass, and Lin Zimo was not idle, he issued instructions one after another, and invested one million taels of his own money, so that all localities could step up the production of rattan armor and sharp weapons, and they didn't care about anything else, and the โกโก of the jar was also put on the agenda.
took the time to go back to the Lin family, and when they heard that Lin Zimo was going to follow Zhu Rui to the battlefield, the old lady and the Zhou family shed tears. Instead, Lin Huaide said: "A good man has ambitions in all directions, although Zimo is in danger this time, but it is also an opportunity to make contributions." "Lin Huaide has always had a thorn in his heart, his excellent youngest son, obviously smart and clever, but he married into the royal family as a man, and made a bad reputation, everyone doesn't say it to his face, who doesn't laugh at him behind his back? This time there are many dangers, and it is also a rare opportunity for Zimo to correct his name.
The 100,000 army will not be able to get together for a while and a half, but saving the scene is like fighting a fire, and they can't wait for the troops from all over the country to gather in the capital, so Zhu Rui issued an order to let them set off directly to the border pass. The 20,000 horses in the capital were scheduled to set off in five days, and Lin Zimo ignored Zhu Rui's opposition and sent Zhu Hui and Zhu Ze, the protest sites, to the Empress Dowager's palace.
The Queen Mother looked at this stubborn man and sighed: "Do you really want to go out with Rui'er?" The sword on the battlefield has no eyes and is dangerous. "The body is too thin, I'm afraid it will be unbearable to endure the bitter cold of the north! I didn't expect him to have such a deep affection for Zhu Rui, knowing the danger, he still insisted on going along.
Lin Zimo said: "The queen mother also knows that the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, I don't worry about Haotian, although my body is not strong, but my mind is okay, maybe I can help him." โ
The Queen Mother nodded, and under Emperor Longsheng's deliberate disclosure, she also knew that Lin Zimo had some ability. People are selfish animals, with Lin Zimo's smart mind, maybe he can really help his son, so there is no deep obstruction, Lin Zimo followed Zhu Rui to the battlefield.
The army set off early in the morning, and Lin Zimo was escorted by the guards and waited outside the city gate in advance. In order to give Zhu Rui and the army a strong march, Emperor Longsheng personally saw them off at the city gate. Lin Zimo did not follow on horseback, one was that Zhu Rui was afraid that he would not be able to stand the bumps, and the other Lin Zimo's appearance was too eye-catching, and he was reluctant to put on his black and yellow-skinned face every day, so he arranged a carriage for him that looked simple on the outside and comfortable on the inside.
The 20,000 troops stood silent. Looking through the gap in the car window, Emperor Longsheng on the city tower had already raised the practice wine and handed it to Zhu Rui, who was kneeling on one knee, Zhu Rui raised his head and drank dry, stood up and walked down the city tower, the golden helmet and gold armor on his body faced the morning sun, reflecting the dazzling essence. The people watching on both sides shouted: "I wish the prince Jing a victory," and the shouts gradually blended into one, and the sound shook the heavens and the earth.
Zhu Rui got on the war horse, bowed to the people on both sides, waved his hand, clamped the horse's belly, and the war horse trotted up. The sound of war drums suddenly shook the sky, and the sergeants lined up in a neat line, followed Zhu Rui in an orderly manner, and ran into the distance together.
Seeing that his man was so majestic, Lin Zimo was honored, and the carriage started to move and blended into the team. The wind in early spring was still cool, and it came in through the curtains, bringing a chill. Xiao Yan handed him the hand stove: "Young master, let's still carry the hand stove, the wind is cool in the morning." โ
It was a little cold, Lin Zimo took it, the temperature was in the lower abdomen, and the warmth instantly spread throughout the body. The structure of this carriage is better than the last time he went to Yanshan County, Zhu Rui made great efforts in order to prevent his wife and children from going out to suffer: the body is hard and inconspicuous jujube wood, and the car is covered with several layers of thick carpet, and a low table is placed on it, and there are everything in the small drawers of the low ones, such as snacks, fruits, tea, etc.
Two people can sit in front of the low table, and a small bed is made in the back for Lin Zimo to rest when he is tired. Afraid that Lin Zimo would fall asleep and be unprepared, there was a carved railing on both sides of the small bed. Xiao Yan smiled: "Young master, you see that the prince cares more about you, this car is much more comfortable than last time." Lin Zimo half-leaned on a few quilts behind him, holding a travelogue in his hand, although he didn't speak, his face was clearly colorful, and the harmful little inkstone turned his back and smiled for a long time, his young master was just fake, and he never praised the prince in front of him.
This time the rush is different from the last time, the military situation is urgent, Xiaoxing will stay overnight, hurry up. After a few days of hard work, Lin Zimo lost a lot of weight. Fortunately, the carriage was well prepared, Xiao Yan and An Le carefully served, and they must ensure that the tea and snacks are continuous every day, and when they rest, they prepared a set of cooking tools by themselves, and a few people made a small stove for Lin Zimo alone, and sometimes Zhu Rui made time to come here to satisfy his hunger.
Zhu Rui is obviously a lot darker, as the commander of the three armies, he can't hide in the car like Lin Zimo, he has to ride a horse and share weal and woe with the sergeants.
Zhu Rui is sitting here, and the back and forth probes keep coming to report. Lin Zimo deeply experienced the inconvenience of underdeveloped communication in ancient times. Someone has to come to report everything, no matter how big or small, the troublesome person is uncomfortable, if the communication is developed, a few satellite phones will solve it.
Four or five days after the departure, local troops came to converge one after another, and the ranks gradually grew. The second echelon of the troops this time is known as the 100,000 army, and with the increase in the number of troops, Lin Zimo found that many army sergeants are lazy in discipline, disobey Zhu Rui's orders, and harass the people from time to time.
Lin Zimo was deeply worried, if the army was not strictly disciplined and the commander could not grasp the command in his hands, how could he talk about a big victory?
