This night, the lights in the camp of the Luoyan Army were bright, and nearly 100,000 people took turns to work, rushing to build the camp and build a high platform, and they were busy in full swing. Wanyan Agu was watching from a distance, and when he saw this situation, he was quite anxious. He wanted to give the order to attack immediately, but he didn't want to lose the opportunity to settle it peacefully. After all, he still has the trump card in his hand, and he can blackmail Lin Jue, so it is always difficult to make up his mind.

Sometimes, that's what people are. If there is room for manoeuvre, they will hesitate to act and look ahead. If you are cornered, you will let go of your hands and feet and break the boat and attack decisively. Wanyan Aguda always wants too much, has too much ambition, and lacks wisdom, so he can only let the best fighter plane be lost in vain.

Of course, for Lin Jue, this night was actually quite worrying. In order to prevent the attack of the opposing side, tens of thousands of archers, grenade throwers lay in ambush outside the camp in the darkness of the night. Once the opponent attacks, it will strike mercilessly. Even a thousand of Lin Jue's personal guards and guards of the firearms battalion were ambushed on the front line under the leadership of Sun Dayong. Once there is a firefight in the night, these more than 1,000 Wang Ba box muskets will still show their might.

However, Lin Jue trusted his own judgment, if Wanyan Aguda was going to attack, they should have launched a fierce attack when the army began to camp, instead of bringing people to ask for a meeting and discussion. Naturally, there is an expectation of reaching an agreement, which is why there is such an act. In this case, there is a high probability that he will not be able to make up his mind tonight. The soldiers and horses were ambushed on the periphery, but also to prevent accidents from happening.

The night passed, and it was safe. Lin Jue actually only squinted for a short time this night, and by dawn he had already gotten up. He draped himself up a tall earthen platform and looked out at the camp that was still being built around him. But under the dawn of the morning, the whole camp has changed greatly. The outer camp wall was already more than one person high, and the next step was to continue to widen and heighten, so that the soldiers could resist above the wall. The outer trenches were also dug a few feet wide and a foot deep, and the rest was dug a few feet deep to create an obstacle to the attack of the opposing cavalry. Near the inside of the wall, more than 100 earthen platforms have begun to take shape. If it continues to rise in height, it can become a commanding position for firearms. The foundations of hundreds of arrow towers have also been built. Then the skeleton of the arrow tower will be built, and in another day, the arrow tower will be lined up in the camp, and then it will be able to form a high, medium and low three-dimensional blocking fire with the archers on the city wall and the firearms on the earthen platform to strike a ferocious blow to the invading enemy.

Seeing such a scene, Lin Jue was very relieved. However, he also understood that in the current situation, he did not have the preparation to defend the opposing cavalry from rushing in all directions, and could only say that he already had some defensive capabilities. It will take time for the entire camp defense system to be completed, and at that time, the three-dimensional defense camp that he designed before, like a military camp of a miniature city, can play its maximum effect. And all of this takes time.

Lin Jue got off the earth platform and took the white ice path from the center of the big tent to the construction site around the camp. Around the camp on the east side, dozens of soldiers were carrying hot meals, and it was time for the soldiers and civilians working here to eat and rest. Seeing Lin Jue coming, everyone's eyes were on Lin Jue.

"Brothers

You've worked hard. Come, come, give me the spoon, and I'll serve the brothers rice. Bing'er, you go scoop the vegetables. Today, let's serve your brothers as logistics and serve them. Lin Jue smiled and saluted the people around him.

Everyone hurriedly said: "Don't you dare to be it, how can Marshal Lin serve rice and scoop vegetables for us, wouldn't it be a torture for me to wait." ”

Lin Jue said: "What's the big deal? You're welcome, you're all hungry and tired, and you'll have the strength to work when you've eaten your meal. I looked, well, the food is not bad, I ordered them to put more oil and water in the food, and it seems that they did so. Well, it smells so good. Come, come, I smell drooling. Hurry up, hurry up, everyone has enough to eat, not enough to continue to do it. ”

Lin Jue rolled up his sleeves and picked up the big iron spoon to knock the rice bucket with a clang. Bai Bing also rolled up his sleeves, picked up the cooking spoon and prepared to scoop vegetables for everyone. Then everyone lined up and came over and thanked them repeatedly. The meal time is also staggered, the guys have been cooking and cooking, and the meals are also dialed in one piece, 2,000 people have a meal, and once an hour, which can not only ensure the supply of meals, but also ensure that there will be no large-scale shutdown.

Lin Jue's approach is, of course, symbolic, but actually a sense of condolence. And he only filled the rice bowls of dozens of people, so Sun Dayong rode his horse and galloped from outside the Dongying Gate and rushed to Lin Jue.

"Report to the marshal, Wanyan Agu sent someone to urge the marshal to meet them. The location was in the woods two miles to the east. The lowly has sent troops to check if it is safe. Sun Dayong jumped off the horse and stepped forward to report.

Lin Jue frowned and looked at the sky. The sun had not yet risen in the east, but it was only early in the morning, and Wanyan Agu sent someone to urge him to meet, which showed how urgent he was. Of course, it was impossible to refuse, and he was so urgent that he doubted it. To refuse is to attack. Besides, Wanyan Mingyue's mother and son were in his hands, before rescuing their mother and son, Lin Jue definitely didn't want to make a big move, that might really harm their mother and son.

"You go back to him, and say that I haven't gotten up yet, and let them wait." Lin Juedao.

Sun Dayong was stunned and said, "Dashuai doesn't want to go?" ”

Lin Jue smiled: "Of course we have to go, but we can't be in a hurry when they are in a hurry, we have a mess here, and it will take time." By the way, you don't have to rush back to them, just go slowly. It's still early. ”

Sun Dayong was so smart, he immediately understood what Lin Jue meant, and Lin Jue obviously meant to delay time as much as possible. It can be delayed for a while, buying time for the construction of the camp.

"The lowly one understands, and the lowly one will go back to the talk." Sun Dayong turned over on his horse and raised his whip to beat the horse and gallop, but suddenly came to his senses, put down the whip, and urged the horse to leave slowly with people.

Lin Jue handed the rice spoon into the hands of the soldiers, and smiled at the soldiers and people: "Everyone, I'm sorry, it seems that some people won't let us stop, I have to go to see them." You have to work harder. It is more difficult at this moment, and when the war starts, our brothers will die less and shed less blood. After this battle, you are all hard-working people. ”

Everyone shouted: "Don't worry, I won't be lazy." ”

"Please!" After Lin Juetuan bowed, he and Bai Bing waited

People leave.

It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that Wanyan Aguda, who was waiting anxiously in a small sparse grove on the east side, and had already sent fire several times, finally waited for the news of Lin Jue's arrival. Under the sun, Lin Jue rode his five-flowered horse slowly surrounded by a group of guards, and just from the distance he reached in the woods, he walked for a long time to stick incense.

Wanyan Agu had a big belly, but he could only wait patiently for Lin Jue and the others to arrive. In the shady clearing of the woods, two chairs were placed opposite each other, and this was the place for a simple meeting. Both sides had carefully searched the area, which was two miles from each of the armies, with only five hundred cavalry on each side, and all of them were forbidden to carry weapons to ensure good faith and safety.

Lin Jue entered the forest and saw Wanyan Aguda sitting on the big chair a few feet away with his eyes staring at him. Wanyan Aguda's face was full of anger, his crooked beard was curled, and he looked very unkind.

"Marshal Lin is such a big man, it's really different, now it's the prince of the Great Zhou, right? It's full of style. Do you know how long I've been waiting here? Wanyan Agu shouted.

Lin Jue slowly approached, smiled and arched his hand: "Hello Great Leader Wanyan, what a lot of anger." It's easy to hurt your body if you have a lot of anger, so it's better to be less angry. Say goodbye to the Qingshui River, let's meet again. The demeanor of the great leader of Wanyan is still the same. ”

Wanyan Aguda obviously felt Lin Jue's ridicule, after the negotiation on the Qingshui River Covered Bridge broke down, it was the beginning of his repeated defeats under Lin Jue, Lin Jue deliberately pointed out that meeting, afraid that it was humiliating himself.

"Don't talk nonsense, you have made an appointment to meet and talk today, what are you doing slowly? Is it insincere? If you don't want to discuss, just say that Lao Tzu won't talk to you, let's have a big battle, and we will win or lose. Wanyan Agu shouted angrily.

"Am I not here?" Lin Jue laughed and said, "The great leader of Wanyan is still so fierce and quick-tempered. I wanted to come earlier, but I didn't close my eyes last night, and I slept so soundly on this hot morning that I couldn't get up. The chief sent for me early in the morning to discuss, so let me get up, wash up, and have breakfast. When I come to see the big chief, I don't dare to slack off. Deliberately bathed and changed clothes, dressed up to avoid rudeness. Do you blame me, big chief? ”

Bai Bing almost laughed out loud on the side, and tried his best to hold back and gritted his teeth.

After Yan Agu was stunned for a long time, he had nowhere to get angry. This kid has always been yin and yang when he speaks, and I'm afraid it's not interesting to play with him.

"Don't talk nonsense, you just say that you don't agree to my conditions. If you agree to a word, we will turn the conflict into a jade silk, and we can say anything. If not, we will go back to the camp and see on the battlefield. If it doesn't work out, give a happy word. Wanyan Agu shouted loudly.

Lin Jue said with a smile: "Sure enough, he is a happy person, the big leader speaks with a crunchy voice, and he never drags mud and water." But...... I've still figured out what conditions you're going to talk to me, so you have to at least tell me in person, big chief, right? It's all hearsay, and what is said in the letter, I only believe what your great leader says in front of his mouth. ”
