In the main hall, as soon as the Queen Mother responded to Lin Dong's advice, Lang Dog and Cai Zhonglian knelt down and thanked them in the main hall: "Thank you for the emperor's grace, thank the queen mother for her grace." ”

When the words fell, Lin Dong saluted again: "Your Majesty, the minister still has something to play." ”

Lin Xiang said. ”

"The rebel minister and thief Fu Ling colluded with the Northern Deed, causing 50,000 soldiers in the south of our country to die, even losing Yanyun Pass and Yanyang City, and his subordinate General Tai, General Lian, and dog Lin Zilong, in order to escort 100,000 people of Yanyang City to retreat to Yangping Pass, each was seriously injured, and could only lead 5,000 soldiers to hold Yangping Pass. Lin Dong's voice was tragic, and his heart was like a knife:

"Now Beiqi leads an army of 200,000 troops, soldiers under Yangping Pass, once the pass is broken, the north of the south is a horse Pingchuan, there is no natural danger to defend, the minister invites 50,000 soldiers, 20 or 30 million silver, strengthen the Yangping Pass garrison, wait for the opportunity, and recapture Yanyang City and Yanyun Pass. ”

As soon as Lin Dong said this, the civil and military officials were shocked, although they reported that the Northern Affair had invaded tens of thousands, but they didn't know that they would raise an army of 200,000 at once, and the information related to this situation was naturally not as accurate as Lin Donglai.

And Lin Dong had already figured out the minds of the palaces in the palace, no matter how they fought above, as long as they didn't endanger their own status and safety, but now they lied that there were as many as 200,000, and these hundred officials were more afraid than anyone else.

Will be outside, report good news and not bad news, will be inside, report bad news but not good news, this kind of political situation and power tricks to deceive the upper and lower, party fighting methods, Lin Dong's heart is clear, crying children have candy to eat, if the civil and military officials in this palace want not to cry in the future, there is only a way out for sugar now.

The minister seconded the proposal, and General Lin led 50,000 troops to resist the Northern Qi. ”

As soon as he said this, Lin Dong was shocked, and the person who took the lead in speaking was not a neutral official, but the first auxiliary minister, Zhong Yan!

Zhong Yan stood up and seconded it, and all his henchmen came out to second, plus the neutral hundred officials who stood up together, in the hall, except for the general Zhong Ze and several of his henchmen, they all asked for Lin Dong's help.

Seeing this situation, Lin Dong realized that this Zhong Yan also wanted to use himself to weaken the military power of his sworn enemy Zhong Ze, after all, this Zhong Ze was a general, and he had 200,000 elite Imperial Southern Army in his hands, thinking of this, Lin Dong couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, saying that the brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are gold, and now the two brothers of Zhong Yan and Zhong Ze are fighting each other, and they just take the opportunity to take advantage of it.

"What does the queen mother think?" Emperor Zhao Meng asked again.

"The minister protests!" Before the Queen Mother could reply, Zhong Ze had already said loudly, "The Imperial Southern Army is the elite of my southern country, if it is damaged by Lin Xiang, then it is a small matter to lose the battle, and it is a big matter to lose Yangping." ”

"50,000 Yunan troops, 30 million silver taels, if Yangping Pass is lost, I Lin Dong will kill myself to thank the world. ”

"Protest!"

Zhong Ze protested again, but Lin Dong was arrogant again, shouting loudly:

"30,000 Imperial Southern Army, 10 million silver taels!"

"Protest!"

"30,000 imperial southern troops, silver two do not want a point, before Chinese New Year's Eve to recapture Yanyang City and Yanyun Pass, I Lin Dong made a military order here, if it fails, ask and behead on the same day!"

"Minister......" This time, when Zhong Ze's words came to his mouth, he was already speechless, and everyone in the palace, Zhao Meng, Zhong Da, Zhong Yan, and a group of civil and military personnel, were all stunned and couldn't believe it.

Today, on the tenth day of the lunar month, there are still 20 days before Chinese New Year's Eve, and the 200,000 imperial southern troops are stationed in the four large military camps around the southern city, which is nearly 1,000 miles away from Yangping Pass, counting the time for 30,000 people to assemble, pull, and march, it will take almost ten days to reach Yangping Pass, and then counting the rest and preparation of the whole army after arrival, it will take nearly four or five days, that is to say, Lin Dong will not spend a penny of silver or two in the imperial court, and must retake Yanyun Pass, the first Xiongguan in the world, within five days, not only with 30,000 enemies and 200,000 in the north, but also to retake Yanyun Pass, the first Xiongguan in the world.

This...... How is this possible?

Although Zhong Yan didn't believe it, but when he thought that he could not only reduce Zhong Ze's military power, but also kill Lin Dong, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, and he turned around with a serious face: "What Lin Xiang said is true?"

"There is no joke in the army. ”

"Okay! Lin Xiangzhen is the pillar of my southern country, and the countryman is unparalleled!" Zhong Yan shouted loudly, glanced at Zhong Ze from the corner of his eye, and smiled contemptuously: "Hmph~ If anyone wants to stop again, he can set up the same military order as Lin Xiang." As he spoke, Zhong Yan saluted and asked, "The minister seconded Prime Minister Lin's suggestion." ”

In the end, Zhong Ze was broken in front of Zhong Yan's teeth, and he could only swallow it in his stomach, his face was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and after a long sigh of relief, he still had to pretend to be generous: "The minister also seconded the proposal." ”

As Zhong Ze bowed in unison, his subordinates also followed suit, and in the end, in the huge hall, there was no one who was not seconded by Lin Dong.

Zhao Meng also saw that Lin Dong had taken a risky move, but it was not yet known what the future result would be, let alone 30,000, even if the 200,000 Imperial Southern Army were all sent to Beiqi, it would be better than being held by Zhong Ze. Speaking of this, Zhao Meng pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and deliberately covered his mouth, as if he had accidentally spoken, and turned around with a well-behaved face: "Queen Mother, what do you think?"

The corners of the Queen Mother's mouth twitched and smiled, her cold face was not smiling, and she looked at Her Royal Highness Zhongyan Zhongze's two pig teammates with her eyes, her chest was so angry that her chest rose and fell, her forehead was sweating, and her makeup was going to be spent.

The mourning family agreed according to what Zhongqing said. Zhong Da said, looking at Lin Dong with His Royal Highness and smiling, looking unaccustomed to seeing and unable to get rid of it, his eyebrows were angry and a few lines of forehead lines were raised, but a smile appeared on his mouth: "I wish Lin Xiang a speedy victory." ”

"Empress Dowager Xie. ”
