Chapter 1622: Rescue
The generals were very surprised, and the marshal actually agreed to let Lin Hu lead this army and horses, which was really unexpected. It's not that Lin Hu's ability is insufficient, he has already proven himself in the first battle of Fang Chengshan, and he is praised and respected by the whole army. But this time it was an extremely dangerous errand, and the 10,000 cavalry were out of the camp, and the slightest careless whereabouts were exposed, they must be the focus of the enemy's siege. Moreover, it is absolutely impossible for the Luoyan army to leave the built camp to rescue, because it will play into the hands of the Jurchens, and they can use the besieged soldiers and horses as bait to lure the Luoyan army out of the camp to fight. And this obviously betrayed Lin Jue's operational idea of changing field warfare into positional warfare and building camps and turning passive into active.
It was impossible for Lin Jue to take risks to save Lin Hu, he would not risk the lives of the entire army.
Seeing that everyone was a little silent, Lin Jue smiled and said, "What? Don't you think General Lin Hu is not suitable? I think it's appropriate. As the saying goes, being virtuous does not avoid relatives, although he is my nephew of the Lin clan, I will not show favoritism, nor will I deliberately suppress him in order to avoid suspicion. If he fails to complete his mission, I will deal with him by military law, and you can be a witness. ”
Ma Bin hurriedly said: "No, no, General Xiaolin is definitely a suitable candidate." We just thought the errand was too dangerous and worried that something might happen. ”
Lin Jue smiled and said, "It turned out to be this, but it was too much to worry about." This is a war, and anyone can die. You and I and your brothers may all die, and the brothers of the Luoyan Army may also die, and Lin Hu is naturally not immune. If you are worried about accidents, then what kind of battle is there to fight? ”
Ma Bin laughed and said, "That's what I said, lo and behold, Brother Lin has started to reprimand me again." ”
Lin Jue smiled: "How dare you, how dare you." ”
Ma Qingshan said with a smile: "The marshal summoned us here to remind us that the battle was about to start soon, right?" ”
Lin Jue nodded and said, "Exactly." We have discussed many times the specific combat matters of facing the enemy, and you all know it well and cooperate tacitly. The coordination of the horse and the infantry firearms is already very proficient, and I don't want to say more. The main purpose of calling you here is to remind you that the battle is about to begin, and everyone must be mentally prepared, and when they go back, they will also remind their brothers to be ready to meet the attack of the Jurchens at any time. In addition, I personally have a small personal matter to solve, and I am the commander in chief of the army, so I naturally have to inform you. ”
When everyone heard Lin Jue say this, they listened quietly.
"You all know about the relationship between me and Princess Jurchen Jinhua. This is my personal matter, and it is not appropriate to talk to you, but in the current situation, I have to say it. There is no need to elaborate on the matter between Princess Jinhua and Ben Shuai, in short, you also know the current situation, I became a relative to her when I stayed in the Jurchen camp, and then I escaped from the Jurchens and separated from Princess Jinhua. She gave birth to a son for me, the child that some of you saw this morning. Wanyan Agu was so mad that he threatened me with the lives of their mother and son, which made people extremely angry. As an important minister of the Great Zhou and the commander of the army, I will naturally not be coerced by it and betray the interests of the Great Zhou for the sake of my Lin's wife and children. I don't think I need to explain that, and you all know that. However...... Personally, I can't sit idly by and watch my Lin Jue's wife and children fall victim to the feud between my Da Zhou and the Jurchens. I can't do it indifferently. I judge that tomorrow morning, the big battle will begin. Once Wanyan Agu and I turn against each other, the lives of their mother and son will not be saved. Wanyan Aguda has lost his humanity, and he can do anything. In light of this, I must do something for their mother and son tonight and try to save them from their predicament. I hope you can understand my feelings and understand how I feel as a husband and father. ”
Everyone had doubts about this in the first place. Marshal Lin was young and ambitious, both civil and military. Such a son of heaven is naturally inevitably entangled in love debts. It is no secret that Marshal Lin's family has a group of beautiful wives and concubines. After following Yan Mingyue's incident, in fact, Lin Jue didn't say it, and everyone had already heard about it. At that time, he was not hostile to the Jurchens, and it was not inappropriate to have a relationship with Wanyan Mingyue, the younger sister of Wanyan Aguda. Who would have thought it would be today? This marriage has only now discovered that the creation makes people, and the mother and son of Princess Jinhua have become hostages of the other party who wants to blackmail Lin Jue.
Everyone couldn't mention this matter indiscriminately, but in their hearts, they all considered this matter for Lin Jue, and found that this matter was really tricky. If Marshal Lin doesn't care about the life or death of Princess Jinhua's mother and son, it sounds good to sacrifice the ego for the overall situation, but it is also a ruthless and unrighteous move. With Marshal Lin's style of acting, this is probably unlikely. But this matter has to be solved, and I am afraid that it will not be solved. Wanyan Agu Da will not let go, the two sides are about to fight, and Princess Jinhua's mother and son are afraid that they will not survive. At least Lin Jue's son will never survive, and Wanyan Agu will definitely kill Marshal Lin's son to vent his anger and attack Marshal Lin.
Lin Jue brought up this matter by himself at this moment, and of course everyone was extremely concerned. But after listening to Lin Jue's words, everyone seemed to feel faintly uneasy. Listening to Lin Jue's tone, it seemed that he was about to take action.
"Marshal, we are also worried about this matter, what does the marshal want to do? We're all up to you. Or bring some people to rescue the lady and the little son. Ma Qingshan said in a deep voice.
Lin Jue smiled and waved his hand: "That's not possible, I said it, this is my private matter, I will solve it myself." I'm going to come to the rescue, but it's none of everyone's business. I've asked Bing'er to explore the way and know where their mother and son live. There's going to be a war tomorrow, so I'm going to try to save their mother and son tonight. Let me make it clear to you again, public is public, private is private, this is my Lin family's private matter, and I will never let everyone take risks. ”
Everyone was stunned, and Ma Qingshan shouted loudly: "How can this be done? Could it be that the marshal wants to be personally involved in danger? ”
Ma Bin also shouted: "Yes, this is not a good way. You're the manager, how can you take such a risk? No way. ”
The generals also shouted: "If it doesn't work, it's too dangerous, it's absolutely impossible." ”
Lin Jue waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said in a deep voice: "Of course I know that this is dangerous, but you have to understand my feelings. If I, Lin Jue, don't even save my wife and children, if they die here, it will make me regret and blame myself for the rest of my life. I also know that I am the commander in the army and have a lot of responsibility. That's why I've called you here. Everyone, listen, from now on, all the things of the army will be replaced by Ma Bin and Ma Qingshan. The two adults will act together as the commander until I return safely. If I can't return safely, the two adults will fight the Jurchens according to the designated battle plan. We have discussed the specific combat matters, and you know very well. In this way, the battle plan of the army will not be disrupted. ”
Everyone was stunned and at a loss. Ma Qingshan frowned and said: "The marshal should think twice, after all, it is extremely dangerous to do this, in case the marshal has an accident, the impact will be great." This battle may be able to withstand it, but what about the future of my big week? It is also necessary for the marshal to run the imperial court and lead the Great Zhou to prosperity. There are a lot of things that still need you to take the helm. Who else but you? ”
Ma Bin also nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Lin, you can't take risks, it's too dangerous, and the result of an accident is unimaginable." ”
Lin Jue smiled and said, "Two adults, brothers. You should know who I am Lin. My ambition as a teenager was to protect my family and friends from being bullied. It was a narrow ambition, but it was really the only thing I had in mind at the time. It is only after so many ups and downs, with the greater the responsibility, that I have compassion for the people of the world, and I will strive for the realization of the teacher's teachings, for the well-being of the people of the world, and to live and work in peace and contentment. However, for the sake of the people of the world, of course, also the people around me. If I don't even save my wife and children when they are in danger, wouldn't it be a joke to have any compassion for the world and work for the people of the world? Besides, I can't get past this hurdle in my own heart. You can rest assured, with Bing'er following me, even if we can't succeed, we can get out of the way. You are like I am going to die. ”
Ma Bin smacked his lips and said, "You are in an understandable mood to save your wife and children." If I were Ma Bin, I'm afraid I would have to make the same decision as you. However, we are not at ease if you and the white girl go. You have to bring more people. ”
Lin Jue waved his hand and said: "There are many people, but it is easy to expose their tracks. Besides, this is my personal matter, how can I let others risk it with me. ”
Ma Qingshan said: "Adult differences, this matter is no longer your family matter, this is this matter related to the overall situation." Wanyan Agu Da coerced his wife and son, precisely to control the overall situation. I do not agree with the marshal on this point. ”
Lin Jue said: "Even if you are right, but whether it is a business or a private matter, it doesn't matter." I'm going to save people, I've decided. Don't persuade me. ”
Ma Qingshan said: "Only the two of you will go, we will not agree." ”
"yes, I'm going to help." Ma Bin said: "Brother Lin won't believe my skills." ”
"There is also a lowly position, the lowly position has joined forces with the military advisor on the island, and cooperated tacitly, how can I be less able to do such things?" Liang Qi shouted.
"And me, and me." The generals shouted.
Lin Jue frowned, and his expression began to be a little unhappy. At this time, Sun Dayong said in a deep voice: "No one is allowed to go, it is my Sun Dayong's duty to protect the marshal, and I can just go with me." Dashuai, I will choose three good kung fu brothers to go together, and I will not reveal my whereabouts. Desperately don't want to die, we will also ensure the marshal's thoughtfulness. ”
Lin Jue frowned and looked at Sun Dayong, seeing Sun Dayong's categorical expression, he finally smiled bitterly for a while: "That's it, Sun Dayong will bring a few people to follow." Stop the rest of the people. This is to save people, to act secretly, not to rush in with great fanfare. Do you want to be sent to death in a loud way? Outrageous. ”
The generals were speechless, indeed, they were not skilled, and if they went, they would add to the chaos. Ma Bin, Ma Qingshan, Liang Qi and others also tried to persuade, but Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "That's it, everyone, please go back to the camp, there are still so many brothers building camps and digging ditches at night, you still have to prepare for battle, don't stay here." This is a military order and must not be disobeyed. ”
Ma Bin, Ma Qingshan and the generals had no choice but to bow and bow and withdraw from the tent.
Lin Hu was the last to withdraw, and before exiting, he came to Lin Jue and said in a deep voice: "Uncle, be careful." ”
Lin Jue smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "You too." ”
Lin Hu nodded and strode out of the tent.
