Lin Quan waited for Chen Bingbai's confession, and was very happy in his heart, although he didn't like Chen Jingjing very much since he was a child, he could talk to Chen Bingbai.

Lin Quan nodded, and gave Chen Bingbai a glass as if he was toasting. Chen Bingbai said to Lin Quan, "Actually, if you met me earlier, you wouldn't have to be so troublesome, the mountain chief and I are old acquaintances." By the way, Brother Quan, when are you and my sister going to get married? ”

Lin Quan said that he was running around all day now, and he really didn't have time, and when Wei Wei was exterminated, he would compile the Thirteen Classics and get married at that time.

"This, this, it's been too long, Brother Quan, Jingjing has been waiting like this, but she has to wait for a yellow-faced woman. It's better to wait for Wei Wei to calm down, and then you will get married. ”

"You are not married, how dare I be in front of you?"

"Haha, you don't know yet, I'm already engaged to Nan Taichong's granddaughter, and we're just waiting for my father to arrive, and we're going to get married."

Lin Quan said congratulations, but unfortunately he couldn't congratulate himself in person because of his military affairs. Lin Quan said, touched it, and he didn't have anything on him, so he had to take off his jade pendant and say to Chen Bingbai, "Brother Zhifu, a small gift, not a respect, when I return to Huanglong City, I must have someone prepare a gift and send it to you." ”

"No need to do that, I'm very happy when you have your heart."

"Brother Zhifu, you are my brother-in-law, and my relatives don't give gifts, isn't it clear to people. The girl from the Nan family must be very virtuous, and if it weren't for the eyes of Brother Zhifu, she would not agree to this marriage. ”

"Xianhui, haha, I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, I know her, or because of the tiger."

Lin Quan couldn't help but smile and asked what was going on.

It turned out that not long after Chen Bingbai was transferred here, he heard that a tiger was hurting people, so Chen Bingbai mobilized more than 100 soldiers and a few skilled hunters to go to encircle and suppress.

When the tiger was being pursued that day, Miss Nan also happened to pass by, and when she saw the evil tiger hurting people, she couldn't help but draw her sword to help. Her swordsmanship is very good, after the tiger failed to cut three times, the south girl stabbed its left eye blind with a sword, the tiger went crazy, and the south girl was like a butterfly, light dodge, and finally stabbed the other eye, and finally cleaned up the blind tiger.

Chen Bingbai didn't like to practice martial arts, thinking that martial arts were incapable of thousands of enemies, but that day, when he saw that Nan girl dressed in red and eliminated the tiger alone, he couldn't help but admire.

So Chen Bingbai had the heart of courtship, and with his perseverance, Miss Nan's family finally agreed to these family affairs.

Speaking of this, Chen Bingbai smiled very happily, like a child getting his favorite item.

Lin Quan looked at Chen Bingbai, and felt a pain in his heart, when would he be like Chen Bingbai.

"Brother Zhifu, then the mountain chief will trouble you."

"It's okay, it's not a matter for them to remember the previous dynasty, this rise and fall success or failure is common sense. They are always incomprehensible. ”

"It's not that they don't understand it, but they remember it in their hearts." Lin Quan himself didn't want to talk about these things, and next, Chen Bingbai asked Lin Quan if his sister was in the capital.

Lin Quan said no, it was cold this day, Chen Jingjing couldn't adapt to it, and he let Chen Jingjing go to the left side of the river. However, he will write a letter to ask Chen Jingjing to attend Chen Bingbai's wedding.

"Brother Quan, my sister finally got what she wanted, when she was a child, she was thinking about you, and now she can finally be your wife."

Lin Quan casually agreed, and Chen Bingbai didn't talk much, asking Lin Quan how the war was.

Lin Quan asked Chen Bingbai to pay attention to the fact that the ghost mansion might flee here, if Chen Bingbai could capture this group of rebels and sacrifice his majesty, he would inevitably be promoted at that time. If this is annihilated, then there will not be so much merit.

"Brother Quan, don't I understand your thoughts? Who are you going to protect? One or two, I can still save you. I know you can't bear it in your heart, but things have to be like this, Yujin, you and I are both officials of the Yu Dynasty, and you can't be a snake and a mouse at both ends. ”

Lin Quan nodded, and said that Chen Bingbai was right, if he could, he would let go of a woman with two swords.

Chen Bingbai said to Lin Quan, "This woman is not easy to let go, do you know that Governor Gu died at the hands of this woman." ”

"Really?" Lin Quan was a little surprised, but quickly figured out that it was indeed Miss Dong who did that.

"Yes, it is said that she infiltrated the barracks and then killed the Governor of the Valley, but no one found out, and it was only after dawn that everyone found out that the Governor of the Valley was dead."

"Then how do you know it's him?"

The army found out, and the soldier she replaced was also found, and told everyone in the army about it. Because it was a woman who assassinated the governor of Gu, everyone in the army was embarrassed to tell him, so he suppressed it. That's what I heard from the surviving soldiers. ”

Lin Quan thought about that night, how brave Miss Dong was, she took Gu Shengyan's life among the ten thousand armies, and then retreated.

Thinking of this, he was a little embarrassed, if it was him, he would definitely not be able to do this, even if his martial arts were still there, he would not have such courage.

This thing is simple to say and done, but to put life and death out of the way, as long as there is a little mistake, it will be difficult to leave alive.

"Since there are few people who know about this matter, then there is not much risk, Brother Zhifu, you do your best, brother, I am not reluctant."

Chen Bingbai said to Lin Quan, "I have already promised to let one or two people go, and I will naturally do this." Moreover, the Xiang army of Liangzhou Mansion, after this defeat, has not recovered its vitality, and it is normal to lose one or two. ”

Lin Quan thanked him again and again, Chen Bingbai said no, and continued to return to the topic, "Now that the ghost mansion has Di people to help, can it be done with the 80,000 soldiers of the Sixth Highness?" ”

"The Di people have rebelled, and the Ghost Mansion has been isolated, if I am not wrong, the Ghost Mansion should be ready to go east to Youyan Mansion now."

"I think they will come from the west, and now their Liangzhou Mansion has not recovered its forces, if the Ghost Mansion attacks in a big way, then we will not be able to resist after all."

"Brother Zhifu, you have taken a step into consideration, and if the ghost mansion comes to Liangzhou Mansion, what will happen if the imperial army will be surrounded in the future. To go to Youyan Mansion, they can use the Thirteen Cities of the East China Sea to cross east. The imperial court sailors wanted to expedition to the thirteen cities of the East China Sea, but they were really powerless. ”

"Brother Quan, how can they think so much in this critical situation, and when they arrive at Youyan Mansion, they don't want to escape, and the sergeant Yu Dingtian has cut off the way to the East China Sea."

When Lin Quan heard the news, he was surprised and said, "What, did the East China Sea Kingdom also make a move?" ”

"Yes, the one who commanded the East China Sea this time was Datong, the prince fish of the East China Sea. Why, you, the commander of the army, don't even know about this? ”

Lin Quan told Chen Bingbai that although he was glorious on the surface, he was actually suspicious of Yu Chao, and he didn't know as much as a deputy general.

"This, this is the sage's mistake, this since ancient times suspicious people do not use, use people without suspicion, the king with a suspicious heart to the minister, the minister can be loyal to the king. Brother Quan, you have always been able to speak well, so it is better to go up and tell the sage this truth. How can it be justified, how can it be justified. ”

Lin Quan saw that Chen Bingbai was really angry, and hurriedly reassured, "This saint only has considerations, but it's okay if you don't know, since the saint is ready, his subordinates just need to carry it out." Lin Quan thought to himself that if he had known the news, he would definitely have told Ye Huang, but now that he went back, he basically had no chance.

Now there is only one way left in the Ghost Mansion, and that is to fight against the water and defeat the army of Di Ren and the Six Highnesses, in this way, it will be difficult for the Yu Dynasty to be exterminated. Yu Chao couldn't afford this successive defeats.

However, in this last battle, there is indeed little hope of victory.

Thinking of this, Lin Quan couldn't wait to grow a pair of wings, fly to Huanglong City, go to the barracks, and find a way to delay this battle.

Looking at Lin Quan thinking, Chen Bingbai said to Lin Quan, "Brother Quan, what do you want?" ”

"I'm wondering, after the ghost mansion is pacified, after the world is stable, will the imperial court still have to raise so many soldiers."

"The matter of redundant troops is talked about almost every year, but I don't think it's redundant, after all, the country is so big, and now the situation is that there are too many forbidden troops, and how many troops there are. In many county towns, the Xiang army is less than 300, and when they encounter the enemy, they basically cannot play a role in resisting, and they will suppress bandits in peacetime. ”

Lin Quan told Chen Bingbai that this box army basically could not be counted on, and the purpose of the original dynasty to set up the box army was to defend the land and the people, and as for the big war, there were government troops and forbidden armies.

The world is so big, it takes time for the forbidden army to move, and the government army is too small, so I hope that the box army can hold off the enemy and wait until the forbidden army comes. Therefore, Lin Quan believed that according to the Chen Dynasty, towns should be set up near several large cities in each province to unify the Xiang army, instead of scattering them in various counties as it is now.

As far as protecting the land and the people is concerned, these van troops do not have much effect, just catch them quickly, and if the enemy is strong, let the military town send troops. There are tens of thousands of troops in this military town, and military towns are set up according to the size of the region.

Chen Bingbai shook his head and said that this would not work, because in this way he would not be able to take charge of the martial arts. If a military town is set up, then the prefect must be a martial artist, how can the civil army be in charge of the military at that time, after all, Emperor Gao said that the literati are not in charge of the army.

Lin Quan thinks that this is a good way, and it can't be given up because of Emperor Gao's ban, if it is the same as now, it is basically chaos, and the war is together, and the Xiang army can only abandon the city and gather.

This gathering is a large group of people, if the governor has no ability and improper command, it will only make the Xiang army lose their lives in vain, it is not as good as the military town, no more than 10,000 people, no less, suitable for exterminating the enemy.

If the Yu Dynasty could implement the military town, then the ghost mansion wanted to escape from Nanzhili, it was impossible, and it would have been annihilated in Nanzhili Mansion a long time ago.
