Ma Changqing actually wanted to ask more, he still had a lot to ask, such as Lin Jue's mysterious saying that 'the secret of heaven must not be revealed', and pessimistic that the Northern Expeditionary Army would be defeated. Ma Changqing wanted to ask carefully, but Lin Jue obviously didn't want to say more. Even so, tonight's conversation has shocked Ma Changqing. He knew the real reason why Lin Jue raised the flag to rebel, and there are few people in the world today who know this secret. He believed that Lin Jue was not rebelling for his own ambitions, because all of Lin Jue's elaborations were logical and well-organized. The whole conversation relieved the confusion in Ma Changqing's heart, and also gave Ma Changqing a glimpse of a more lofty realm. Of course, the only thing that Ma Changqing couldn't agree with was that Lin Jue nailed the fate of the Northern Expeditionary Army with an explanation of 'the secret of heaven cannot be revealed', which Ma Changqing could not accept.

"Thank you, Lord Lin, for saying so much, and today's conversation with Lord Lin has benefited me a lot. I hope to be able to teach Lord Lin in the future. Open and honest conversations, as we did tonight. Thank you again Lord Lin and the two ladies for not bothering Ma, and Changqing took his leave. Ma Changqing expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart, and after bowing his hand, he turned around and left slowly.

Lin Jue put down his arched hand, watched Ma Changqing's back disappear in the dim moonlight, and sighed softly.

At this moment, Gao Muqing said softly: "The husband also trusts this Ma Changqing too much. You don't seem to have said anything to us. Even I didn't know what you really thought until now. You don't seem to have said these things to the little prince and the big brother. ”

Lin Jue smiled bitterly: "Mu Qing, you are all simple and simple people, I don't need to talk to you about those complicated things, so that you will be troubled." This Ma Changqing is actually suffering in his heart, and I estimate that he is the kind of person who can't sleep every night. I don't want you to think too much at night and not even sleep. So you don't need to know these things. ”

Bai Bing smiled: "That's it, I'm going to fall asleep when I listen to it, I don't want to know these boring things." We just do what the husband tells us to do, why do we need to know too much. ”

Gao Muqing said angrily: "Come on, blame me for being too talkative." ”

Bai Bing put his arm around Gao Muqing and said, "I didn't mean that, I mean, we have a husband, why bother with so much heart?" ”

Gao Muqing thought about it, what he said was right, why should he worry about it, Lin Jue is here.

"The husband seems to appreciate this horse Changqing very much, I have never seen the husband say so many things to a person he just met. It's like a friend for many years. Bai Bing pouted again.

Lin Jue smiled and did not answer. He really appreciates Ma Changqing. People who can ask those questions and suffer for the confusion of Da Zhou's future and fate, Lin Jue will not slack off. Because they are the ones who have begun to wake up, not the muddy walking dead. On the one hand, it is out of respect for them, and on the other hand, it is also out of a desire to share. Sharing with these people will give you more or less understanding.

Of course, there is more to it than that.

In the early hours of the morning, Lin Jue and a group of guards from the Luoyan Army left for the distance. Without alarming the hundreds of wounded soldiers who were sleeping soundly on the other side of the clearing, they quietly walked through the forest in the thin rising morning mist, heading straight to the northeast.

What they are going to is the target direction they set when they came, which is the Zhongjing Dading Mansion. Lin Jue's main purpose here was to secretly observe and study the tactics of the Jurchens and the Liao. Assess the combat capabilities of both sides. This is done in preparation for possible future encounters. Delaying time on both sides of the Sanggan River was not what Lin Jue wanted. If it weren't for the fact that they wanted to contribute to the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Lin Jue and the others would have left a long time ago.

Now there was no need for Lin Jue to stay on the battlefield in front of Xijin Mansion any longer, because Yang Jun was no longer worthy of Lin Jue to do anything for him. He had a deep prejudice against Lin Jue, and it was impossible to believe Lin Jue's information, and after two attempts, Lin Jue had already made it clear to him. The big battle in front of Xijin Mansion was about to start, but Lin Jue didn't want to stay here, and he didn't want to wait for the result. There are only more than 100 people, and the inability to participate in this war is not the main reason, the main reason is that Lin Jue already has an ominous premonition.

He didn't want to test his hunch here. In fact, Lin Jue very much hoped that he could be slapped in the face by Yang Jun, in that case, the course of the entire wheel of history could be reversed, and Lin Jue would not have to worry about the fate of history all day long.

……

Sixty miles south of Xijin Prefecture, a dense brigade of soldiers and horses occupied the official roads and large and small hills within a radius of six or seven miles. All the baggage materials were heavily protected in the middle position, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses formed a protective and alert formation layer by layer. In the darkness before dawn, the torches and bonfires on the hills were bright, and the soldiers were unsheathed and unarmoured, keeping an eye on the movement near and far. Hundreds of scout squads lurked in all directions of the camp, keeping an eye out for any unusual movements.

The entire Great Zhou army was like a hedgehog that had been attacked at the moment, curled up and burred all over its body to prevent attack. Because, they have just experienced a sudden attack. The vanguard cavalry lost tens of thousands of men. The life and death of the cavalry pioneer officer Han Gang and others are still unknown.

Yesterday morning, when the news of the ambush of the Great Zhou cavalry was delivered to Yang Jun, Yang Jun immediately realized that this might be a big mistake he had made. The warning sent by Lin Jue was ignored by himself, and he even felt that Lin Jue had ulterior motives, deliberately creating panic and slowing down the army's journey. In his own opinion, in such a terrain, the cavalry of the Liao army could not come and go vertically and horizontally, and they must not give full play to their advantage of roaring back and forth and leaving with one blow. So, the so-called ambush attack is simply a joke.

However, the truth slapped Yang Jun in the face. The ambush really happened, and Lin Jue's warning was not a lie but a truth. Yang Jun pinned his hopes on Han Gang and the others to get out of the way, but bad news came one after another. By noon, Yang Jun received the final loss. The first 20,000 soldiers and horses of the cavalry lost more than half, and all the cavalry had turned around and moved closer to the brigade. Han Gang lost contact with the 10,000 cavalry, and they were forced to rush deeper into the enemy's ambush circle, which was obviously a bad ending.

Yang Jun immediately ordered the army to stop advancing and form a defensive formation with the position of the Chinese army as the core. Yang Jun was worried that this was the beginning of a series of ambushes, and he had already been careless once before, so he had to be cautious at this moment. The army has been actively dispatching to form a strong defense system since the afternoon, and when all the baggage and supplies have arrived at the position of the Chinese army and are protected, Yang Jun has calmed down a little. At this moment, such a formation does not need to be afraid even if it is attacked. Yang Jun waited in the Chinese army for the latest elimination

At the same time, he convened all the generals to discuss the military situation and figure out the intentions of the Liao.

The meeting of military divisions lasted from night to late at night, and basically reached a consensus, that is, the Liao people should not carry out large-scale field raids, or that sentence, because the terrain did not allow them to play to their strengths. Moreover, the number of soldiers and horses of the Liao people was much smaller than that of their own. Their purpose was only to deter the army from attacking Xijin Province through ambush harassment, hoping to buy time for Xijin Province to survive.

After this conclusion was reached, the tension eased somewhat. Yang Jun also felt that he was overreacting. Before it was overconfidence and relaxed, ignoring the warnings. Now after being attacked, the reaction is a little too cautious, which instead sends a signal to everyone that they are a little panicked. He has experienced a hundred battles and has been on the battlefield for decades, how can he lose ground because of this. This is not supposed to be.

After the meeting, Yang Jun didn't rest, he analyzed and analyzed, and suddenly had a great hatred for Lin Jue. In the final analysis, this matter is Lin Jue's fault, if this guy doesn't stick a stick in it and give him any warning, he can march according to the normal combat strategy. It was precisely because Lin Juegou was nosy with the rat that he came to deliver such a warning that he misjudged. This may be Lin Jue's hidden conspiracy, this guy is meticulous, maybe he knows that he won't believe his warnings, so he deliberately played such a trick of the virtual and the real and the virtual, allowing himself to make a mistake in judgment, which led to the current situation.

When Yang Jun came to this conclusion, Lin Jue, who was twenty miles away and was returning to sleep in the shack after finishing a long conversation with Ma Changqing, sneezed a few times. Things in the world can be really speechless sometimes. There are thousands of reasons to like a person, even if he does something that hurts the nature and causes the conscience, he will choose to ignore it. There are thousands of reasons to hate a person. Even if someone like Lin Jue clearly provided real information and warned Yang Jun, the facts also proved that it was Yang Jun's own problems that led to the consequences of being attacked by the Liao. But it turned out to be the culprit. This is called 'A man sits at home, and the pot comes from heaven.' ’

Of course, the reason why Yang Jun came up with such a far-fetched and somewhat shameless reason was because of his own face. Of course, he refused to admit that he had misunderstood Lin Jue, and that he was too careless. He is the commander of the army, he is right, so the fault can only be someone else. This pot can only be blamed on Lin Jue.

The meeting of military divisions in the evening has been decided, and tomorrow the left and right wings of troops and horses will be sent to search and advance to ensure the safety of the march. And no longer rush for the sake of speed. Therefore, early tomorrow morning, after waiting for the flank soldiers and horses to explore the terrain of the surrounding hills and dense forests and send back a message, Yang Jun will lead the Chinese army and the baggage forward. These last few dozen miles will be a careful and long process. But Yang Jun admitted that it was obviously more in line with the current situation to advance the army cautiously and steadily to the city of Xijin Mansion than to quickly arrive at the city of Xijin Mansion. Especially in the case that more than 10,000 cavalry have been eaten by the Liao, caution and caution are extremely necessary.

Just when Yang Jun took off his robe and was about to go to bed to rest, the guards suddenly came to report.

"Report to the marshal, the deputy commander of the forward cavalry corps, General Han Gang, they are back."

Hearing this, Yang Jun jumped up like a spring and said in surprise: "What? Han Gang, they are alive? Bring him to Ben Shuai. ”
