The eldest prince is very proud of such a moat as Tianshan Pass, Xirong has wanted to enter the Central Plains for so many years, but has been blocked by Tianshan Pass, and the Di people are the same even if they are entangled in the army.

But if Di Ren continues to stay in Yunge Mansion, then it will make the court very difficult, like the rebellion of King Zuoxian, if he wants to exterminate it, he will wander in the grassland, so that the Yu Dynasty is not easy to capture, and then he can only empty food and salary.

If King Zuo Xian is outside the Tianshan Pass, then the imperial court can let them roam at will and ignore it.

The eldest prince said this, let Lin Duowen think of a way to destroy King Zuo Xian as soon as possible, this is indeed good to use the weather against the enemy, but then they will have no credit.

Lin Duowen said yes, saying that he would think of a proper way to let King Zuo Xian ambush him.

Lin Duowen then found Qian Du and Chen Qiuzhun and asked the opinions of the two of them, Qian Du's opinion was naturally to exterminate those who had funded King Zuo Xian, Chen Qiuzhun disagreed, saying that now that the weather is so bad, they rashly send troops, and when they fight, the losses will increase.

If there is no more grain, you can plant it again, and if you don't have firewood, you can cut it again, but if this person doesn't have it, then there is no more.

Chen Qiuzhun thought that he would rather not take credit than gamble with the lives of soldiers.

Hearing Chen Qiuzhun's words, Lin Duo was embarrassed and told Chen Qiuzhun that this was the order of the eldest prince, and he could not care about this credit, but the eldest prince could not care.

Chen Qiuzhun thought about it and told Lin Duowen that King Zuo Xian might not be frozen to death, and when the weather warmed up, he would attack, if he could capture King Zuo Xian alive and sacrifice his majesty, then it would naturally be a great achievement.

If it doesn't work, the head of King Zuo Xian is also okay, the purpose of their coming is King Zuo Xian, as long as King Zuo Xian is eliminated, then the task will be completed, and the credit will naturally be there.

Lin Duowen finally followed Chen Qiuzhun's suggestion, and went to meet the eldest prince the next day, and said this to the eldest prince, the eldest prince saw that the weather was cold again, and naturally he was reluctant to go out, so he agreed to Lin Duowen.

As for Shan Yu, Shan Yu entered the city, and naturally had to ship his role, under the arrangement of Qian Du, Shan Yu wrote a letter to the patriarch of a tribe, saying that if it is cold today, it is better to move to the royal court, and everyone will take care of each other and get through this difficult time together.

Shan Yu was happy to write this letter and let people send it out in person.

The eldest prince thought that the prince was a little worried, so the Di people were all gathered in the royal court, and if there was chaos at that time, it would not be a trivial matter.

The eldest prince thought that it made sense, so he found Lin Duowen, Qian Du had already prepared his words, and Lin Duowen just relayed it.

After receiving these letters, the small tribes will come here, and as for the large tribes, with large populations and large cattle and sheep, it will not be easy to move in such weather.

These big tribes don't come, the small tribes come to the royal court, and when the time comes, King Zuoxian will also come to the royal court, there are so many of them, they always have to eat and cloth, and how much food can the royal court have enough for so many of them.

In these tribes, adult men account for a minority, most of them are women, children, old and young, these people are useless in fighting, but they also use food, and when the time comes, the royal court will not give these people food and clothing, then these people will die like this, and the men of the tribe will follow King Zuoxian?

If these people are given food, the man may not be able to eat, and the soldiers who can't eat enough will only be frightening.

When Lin Duo heard this, a prince said that if the royal court really had so much food?

Lin Duo was stunned for a moment, he didn't think of this question, and Qian Du didn't tell him, and at this time, the words of the eldest prince made him suddenly feel a chill in his back.

"Then these people are our military merits." The eldest prince said, patted Lin Duowen on the shoulder, and said to Lin Duowen: "Uncle Xinwu, you are really more talented than your eldest brother." ”

Lin Duowen didn't know what to say for a while, he didn't mean to want these people to die and act as his own military exploits.

Lin Duowen could only say that he didn't dare now, and then retreated, he found Qian Du and asked Qian Du if this was too hurtful?

"General, if you don't take charge of the army, you will be as ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, if these people are willing to rebel, then they can only die, this is war, since ancient times, there is no war that does not die. And the more people who die, the greater the prestige of the general. ”

"Just like the general, your father, Lin Wenzhenggong, when he conquered Xirong, how many people died under the sabers and guns? Hundreds? Thousands or tens of thousands? No, no, that's hundreds of thousands, millions! Their dry bones forged the great cause of Lin Wenzhenggong, isn't Lin Wenzhenggong a kind-hearted, benevolent and benevolent sincere gentleman? But he understands that good soldiers are ominous. He also understands that the Son of Heaven is angry and bleeds thousands of miles. ”

Qian Du's words made Lin Duowen unable to comply for a while, and he also asked Chen Jingjing and Le Qiong, both of whom were unwilling to talk about the Western Expedition in detail, but only talked about Lin Quan's merits.

Now that he heard Qian Du say this, he believed that his father's journey to the west must have bled thousands of miles, and the blood was drifting.

He has always taken his father as his role model, and now what his father is doing is contrary to the morality in his heart, so Lin Duowen was at a loss for a while and didn't know what to do.

Qian Du continued, and Lin Duowen shook his head, asking him to go down first and let himself think about it.

After Qian Du left, Lin Duowen thought for an hour, but there was no result, and a voice told him that his father was the most talented and intelligent person in the world, and since his father had done this, he naturally couldn't be wrong.

A voice told him that God has the virtue of a good life, and it is not allowed to kill innocents indiscriminately, and this expedition will minimize the number of deaths if it can minimize it.

He couldn't make a choice, so he had to ask Chen Qiuzhun what he should do, Chen Qiuzhun calmly told Lin Duowen that Qian Du was right to do this, and now the Di people have turned against him, since they chose to follow King Zuoxian, it means that they will not obey the court.

Even if these people don't kill this time, there will be even more chaos in the future, so the long pain is better than the short pain, and it is better to annihilate them in one fell swoop.

Lin Duowen didn't expect Chen Qiuzhun to say the same, he looked at Chen Qiuzhun suspiciously, at this time Chen Qiuzhun told Lin Duowen, of course, it was determined to rebel, and what they could do now was to persuade those who had not yet made a decision.

As Chen Qiuzhun said, those who had dealings with King Zuo Xian in the past are not to blame.

Chen Qiuzhun said that the court is not thin on the Di people, if the Di people really hate the court, then there are more than this person who follows King Zuoxian.

Chen Qiuzhun told Lin Duowen that this war has shown both power and kindness, and killing people alone is not a way, and being kind and soft-hearted is not a way, and it needs to combine the two, both rigid and soft.

"Lin Wenzhenggong's westward expedition, in addition to the military, there is also learning, Lin Wenzhenggong held a sword in one hand and a book in the other, which made a great military achievement, if only the sword in his hand, how could he make the people of Xirong surrender."

Lin Duowen said yes, he forgot this, and he also thanked Chen Qiuzhun.

At this time, the county magistrate monk Tianliang asked to see him, and Lin Duowen let them in.

After the magistrate saluted Lin Duowen, he said to Lin Duowen: "General, the lower officials are confused, the lower officials are confused, and I ask you to forgive me." ”

Lin Duowen was confused by the county's apology, and he asked the county what the crime was and what he had committed.

The magistrate said that he knew that Lin Duowen was here alone, but he didn't arrange it earlier, so he was really confused.

After Lin Duo heard this, he said to the magistrate: "There is no need for this matter, now we are going out for the imperial court, so we don't need to think about these things." ”

"This, General, is it really not necessary?"

Lin Duowen said that he didn't need to arrange it here, and he didn't need it on the eldest prince's side, so now let's take a look at those sons.

The magistrate said yes, and the eldest prince naturally declined, how can the people of his heavenly family easily let people in small places take care of them, but those sons have some ideas.

This matter was also publicized by Shang Tianliang, and after some soldiers heard it, they were a little ashamed, thinking that they should be so strict with military discipline.

As a result, the atmosphere in the army was slightly better, and of course it also slightly alleviated the dilemma of more monks and less porridge.

After Shang Tianliang went back to tell him, he asked Lin Duowen if he really didn't need it? If it was just for the sake of face, Shang Tianliang would arrange it and would never let outsiders know about this matter.

Lin Duowen said that he really didn't have this idea, and the only thing he wanted was to solve the matter here as soon as possible.

"Uncle, in fact, this time the prefect came forward for the prefect, the prefect has a daughter, the youngest daughter is still in the boudoir, and wants to marry you as a little star, so he came to ask, he is ready to finish the boat, and you will not regret it when the time comes, uncle."

Hearing this, Lin Duowen shook his head and said: "It's really nonsense, the prefect is also a feudal official, how can he be so nonsense." ”

Shang Tianliang said that this prefect's background is not very good, so he can only be a prefect, it is better to enter the Chinese and Korean dynasties, and now he only hopes to have a relationship with Lin Duowen, and then get a good background.

Lin Duowen shook his head, looked at Shang Tianliang, and said to Shang Tianliang: "This identity is very compatible with you, your father is the governor of Qingzhou Mansion, and he just happens to be a good match." ”

After Shang Tianliang heard this, he shook his head and told Lin Duowen that his family was also a person with no background, so how could the prefect look down on him.

Lin Duowen said that Shang Tianliang has merit, and he will become a big official in the future, so the prefect should choose Shang Tianliang instead of choosing others.

After Shang Tianliang heard this, he could only shake his head and say that this matter would wait for his own merits.

Lin Duowen told Shang Tianliang that the biggest credit now is to capture King Zuo Xian and take off his head, if Shang Tianliang can do this, then the natural merit must be high.
