I apologized for not having time to update something yesterday. Make up for it today, stay up late and have a big chapter first. ）

Time flies, and soon it is the golden autumn season of September. The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the northern geese fly south, and it is the harvest season and the last beautiful season of the year. After the golden autumn, it is the arrival of another year of severe winter.

In the Luoyan Valley, a busy scene of harvesting rice, sorghum and other crops, the Luoyan Army also dispatched manpower to help harvest rice and plant winter wheat in addition to intense training. This year's harvest is especially important for the entire Funiu County. Because of the expansion of a large number of soldiers and horses and the defection of ordinary people, the military and civilian population of Funiu County has increased several times.

Different from the past, when more than 100,000 soldiers were in Funiu Mountain in the past, the food and materials produced in the cottage could not be eaten, and the food and materials accumulated in the past few years could be used for basic consumption for several years. But now, the population has increased several times, and most of them are people who have defected this year, even if there are large tracts of reclaimed fields for them to cultivate and be self-sufficient, but after all, the agricultural season does not wait for anyone, and many families have divided the land, but they can no longer plant crops, so they need to use reserve materials to supply. Although the previous reserves were abundant, they could not withstand a large amount of consumption. And more importantly, once the war starts, the consumption of grain and grass materials will be greater, the soldiers and horses will not be able to participate in the production, and a large number of young and strong people will also be transferred to carry out the logistics of the soldiers and horses. The production of food and materials will inevitably be greatly affected.

Under such circumstances, this year's harvest of grain is particularly important. It was so important that the little prince Guo Kun and Luo Yanjun both commanded Lin Jue to personally participate in harvesting crops. Lin Jue also put forward the slogan of 'preparing for war and famine, and returning the particles to the warehouse'. He also demanded that everyone practice frugality, and put forward the slogan of 'waste is shameful, thrift is glorious'. All people are required not to waste a grain of grain, not a drop of oil, not a piece of cloth, not a piece of meat, not a piece of skin.

Lin Jue is well aware of the seriousness of the problem. The news in the past few months shows that Wanyan Agu and the Liao people are expanding their troops and horses, and they obviously look like they are ready to move. The news that Xuanyiwei sent out to investigate and returned showed that the Jurchen army had gathered 250,000 or 60,000 people to conduct training in Dading Mansion and Liaoyang Mansion day and night, which made chickens and dogs jump. The Liao State, which had only half of the country left, also signaled that the people had formed 200,000 soldiers and horses, and had already gone to the area of Xijin Mansion for day and night training. Such news is undoubtedly not a good thing.

After the soldiers and horses of the Wanyan Agu Great Alliance Tribe wiped out the imperial court south of Yeluping Mountain, Lin Jue began to think that the Wanyan Agu Assembly did not hesitate to turn around and bite the tribal soldiers and horses, and took advantage of the situation to destroy the Liao State, which had no much ability to resist. But Wanyan Aguda didn't do that. This made Lin Jue glance at Wanyan Agu Dagao. If Wanyan Aguda couldn't resist the temptation to destroy the Liao State, then the dog-eat-dog war would at least last for a while. And even if Wanyan Aguda wins, he must digest the fruits of victory. The vast Liao country, with a population of 10 million, has a century-old foundation, and is deeply rooted. He must stabilize the entire occupied area before he dares to provoke the Great Zhou. Then Da Zhou can at least survive for a year and a half, and the Luoyan Army can also get more time to prepare. During this time, if Guo Xu and Lu Zhongtian understood it, they would definitely be ready to defend. Wanyan Agu's stool is not so easy to get.

But now it seems that Wanyan Aguda clearly understands this, and his desire for the great Zhou of the rich south seems to be more urgent. In other words, he actually understands better that Da Zhou is a sick and dying tiger at this moment, and this is the best opportunity to slaughter it. Once this opportunity is missed, the tiger recovers and never has a chance to kill it. So his choice was to take advantage of its illness to kill it, and he also pulled the Liao people as helpers, which was with the intention of winning.

Lin Jue knew that Wanyan Aguda was so ambitious, it would be a disaster for Da Zhou. The Great Zhou court did not seem to be aware of the danger until now, and the intelligence said that the Liao and Jurchen sides of the Great Zhou had also signed a non-aggression treaty of friendship, and the Great Zhou had now given the Jurchens an exact equal amount of silver and materials to the Liao, which was obviously a belief that the Jurchens and the Liao would really abide by the treaty. It's ridiculous to want to get Gou An in this way. The people of the Great Zhou court would not have realized at all that the silver taels and grain they sent

The supplies will be used as food for the opponent's weapons and equipment to attack their own horses. They are digging their own graves.

Lin Jue knew that war was imminent. Wanyan Aguda won't wait too long, he just needs to be ready. Therefore, the combat readiness of the Luoyan Army cannot be relaxed for a moment, and perhaps after a night, the Luoyan Army will go to the battlefield to fight.

On the morning of September 12, when Lin Jue was helping the people dry rice in the grain field, Sun Dayong led a group of personal cavalry to meet Lin Jue in the grain field with a man with a cloak.

"My lord, I caught a fine worker on the eastern slope of Jiming Mountain. The brothers below escorted the fine work to the county office. After we stripped off his coat, we found that this guy was not wearing my Da Zhou clothes, but looked like the clothes of the Jurchens in the north. This guy also spoke with a strange accent, so he suspected that he was a meticulous work sent by the Jurchens to spy on our military situation, so he was escorted to ask the lord to send him down. Sun Dayong stepped forward to report.

Lin Jue took the cloth towel and wiped his hands, tidied up his clothes, and walked towards the haystack next to the grain field. The fine work that was caught was tied up on the ground by people, screaming mournfully, the clothes on his body were indeed not the clothes of the Great Zhou people, and looking at his hair bun, it was indeed the appearance of the Jurchens.

"Who are you? What is the purpose of coming to Funiu Mountain? Are you here to spy on the military intelligence of my Luoyan army? Lin Jue shouted in a deep voice.

The man lay on the ground and cried out, "Spare your life, spare your life, the villain is not a small worker, the villain is here to find someone." ”

The accent is indeed a stiff Da Zhou official dialect, the clothes may be concealed, but the accent is difficult to fake, this person speaks strangely, Lin Jue has been in the Jurchen army, there are many people who can speak Chinese, but it is about the same.

"Who are you? Are you a Liao or a Jurchen? Why are you here? Lin Jue shouted.

"The villain is a Jurchen tribesman, he is here to find someone, he is really looking for someone." The man confessed.

"Looking for someone? Who to look for? Lin Jue said in a deep voice.

"Is this Funiu Mountain? I'm looking for a village owner surnamed Lin in Funiu Mountain. "That's human.

"The owner of the village surnamed Lin? Who are you sending to him? What to do with him? Lin Jue was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked.

"This ...... I can't say, I don't know if this is Funiu Mountain yet. I didn't dare to ask more questions along the way. When he came to the foot of the mountain, he was arrested, and I was not allowed to explain. I have to go to Funiu Mountain, and I can only say it when I see that Lin Jue. The Jurchen shook his head.

"Are you looking for Lin Jue? Do you know him? I know him. You tell me who asked you to come to him, and I'll introduce you to him. This is also Funiu Mountain. Lin Jue asked with a smile.

The Jurchen man said happily: "Really? Do you really know that Lin Jue? Then please tell him that my Jurchen Princess Jinhua sent a villain to find him, and I have been on the road for more than a month. Oops, I found it. ”

Lin Jue shouted in surprise, and all the guards who knew the inside story showed a sudden look on their faces. It turned out that the Golden Flower Princess, Wanyan Mingyue, sent someone to find Lord Lin. The Jurchens are about to attack the Great Zhou, and Lord Lin is going to fight against the Jurchens, at this time, the Jurchen princess sent someone to find the adult, isn't it to persuade the adult to surrender? Or is it a ventilated message?

In the afternoon, the study was silent, and the autumn sun shone obliquely into the room from the long window, and also reflected the figure of Lin Jue sitting on a chair next to the bookcase.

Lin Jue was holding a letter in his hand, the letter was crumpled, and it had been sewn into the collar of his underwear by the messenger before, and the wind and dust along the way made the envelope of the letter dirty. Fortunately, it was a sheepskin envelope, and although the paper inside was wrinkled, it was not damaged by moisture.

The handwriting on the letter was graceful and upright, and all of them were as delicate as hairpins.

"Lin Lang is like a face, and he sees words like faces. I said goodbye last year, and now it's been more than a year, I don't know if Lang Jun still remembers me? The concubine misses Langjun every day, and misses Langjun every day. Every month, when I go down to the railing and look at the geese flying in the sky, all the thoughts in my heart are in the king's body, which is really tormenting. Lang Jun is in good health, how many bowls do you eat a day? Can you add or subtract clothes from cold and heat? Will the transaction go smoothly? Every time she thought of this, the concubine was ashamed. Concubine Meng Langjun does not give up, she is already the wife of the Lin family, but she can't serve Langjun and share the troubles, which is really unvirtuous. Just ask for Lang

Don't blame me, understand the concubine's suffering. ”

Lin Jue read this paragraph, his heart was extremely heavy, and he sighed and continued to look down.

“…… The concubine shouldn't have written this letter to bother Lang Jun, but the concubine thought about it and felt that she had to write to tell Lang Jun something. Since last year, the situation has changed rapidly. Since the First World War in Liaoyang Mansion, our Jurchen tribe has laid the ground. Yelu Zongyuan died under the city of Liaoyang, and the Liao State was already in danger of overturning at any time. I, the Jurchens, have gained a firm foothold and now occupy half of the Liao country. At this time, I thought that my brother would destroy the Liao State in one go, and finish the great cause of replacing the Liao State with my Jurchen clan, and the world would be peaceful. However, in my husband's prophecy, my brother was not greedy enough and too ambitious, and he was going south with the intention of going south. Originally, as a member of the Jurchens, I shouldn't have revealed this news. But this is no secret to the husband. Moreover, the husband and the Great Zhou court had already turned against each other, and he was not an official of the Great Zhou court, so the concubine decided to inform the husband of this matter, so as not to make the husband defenseless. ”

"At the beginning, my husband told me that my brother would definitely covet Da Zhou. I wasn't convinced at the time. Now it seems that the husband is far-sighted, and he is not comparable to the short-sighted people of the concubine. At that time, I asked my husband, if my brother really went south, what should my husband do? Fujun told me that you will definitely raise troops to resist the enemy, not for Guo Xu, but for Da Zhou. You want me to persuade my brother to dispel such thoughts, otherwise you and your brother will inevitably meet on the battlefield in the future. When I learned of my brother's intentions, I spoke out many times. It's a pity that my brother has made up his mind, and I can't persuade him to turn back. Now that I have broken with him, I have returned to live among the tribes at the foot of the Changbai Mountain. But he is my brother after all, and what I fear most is that you and my brother will meet on the battlefield. You are all my relatives, and I can't afford to hurt any of you. Therefore, I asked people to send you this letter to pray to my husband, if you and your brother really meet on the battlefield one day, I hope that your husband will open up and not kill my brother. I begged my husband to spare him from dying on the thin side of his concubine's body. I know that the husband who does this is more contemptuous of the concubine, and you will not consider your personal affairs before the righteousness. But I still want to pray for my husband to open up. Although my brother has a lot of troops and a large army, I know that he is definitely not your opponent. I can only ask my husband. ”

Seeing this, Lin Jue frowned and groaned. At first, he thought that this was a letter written by Wanyan Mingyue informing him that Wanyan Agu intended to attack south. When I saw this, I realized that it was a letter of plea. Wanyan Mingyue was very confident in herself and thought that she would win, so she begged herself to spare Wanyan Aguda's life. Her confidence in herself was stronger than her own confidence in herself. Maybe this is love, in her eyes, her lover is invincible. Of course Lin Jue won't blame her, when her lover and her relatives face off in the field, it must be a painful feeling that makes people anxious and heartbroken. Wanyan Mingyue was worried that this would happen, because she knew Lin Jue and knew that it was extremely likely that all this would happen.

The concubine knew that this request might make it difficult for the husband, but the concubine had to be cheeky and begging. If the husband is angry, the concubine is willing to bear it. If Lang Jun is unwilling to agree, the concubine can't think about it, so he can only pray for immortality to bless you all safely, and leave everything to the will of heaven. At this time, the concubine's letter should not have been written, but it should be written. The book is short and long, in fact, there are many things I want to say, but at this moment, the pen is condensed and I can't say it. The concubine didn't say much, she only thought about Lang Jun day and night, thinking about Lang Jun, hoping that you and I would have a reunion day. Lang Jun should take care of himself, everything is fine. On behalf of the family, I wish my sisters and sisters are well. The concubine put down her pen, and her husband was safe. ”

Lin Jue let out a long breath and was about to put down the letterhead in his hand. Suddenly, a thin piece of paper slipped through the cracks in the letterhead. Lin Jue stretched out his hand and picked it up and looked at it twice, and his face was suddenly surprised and stunned.

"The concubine gave birth to a son on the ninth day of the sixth month, and took the name Lin Nian. The husband is the father of the child, and the child's name should be taken by the husband himself, and the husband should give the name and hand it over to Urbai, who sent the letter, to bring it back. The concubine asked Nian'er to kowtow to her husband. ”

She ...... Did you give me a son? Lin Jue was stunned on the chair, like a clay sculpture and wood carving.
