Lin Jue smiled and was noncommittal. Bai Bing was still smart, and she noticed that Lin Jue had become hesitant and contradictory when talking about the future situation. This is not Lin Jue's style of speaking. Lin Jue obviously said half and left half, and refused to explain the matter thoroughly. This reminded her of the conversation between Lin Jue and Ma Changqing that night, and the sentence 'Heaven must not be revealed'. What does Mo Feifujun really know?

"We don't have to think about it that much. This posture, according to me, the Jurchens are afraid that they will hang. Their goal was to capture Xingzhongfu, but it was easier said than done. The other side's reinforcements have arrived, and they are afraid that they will not be able to protect themselves. If you still insist on attacking the city, I am afraid that you will encounter a catastrophe of destruction. What I wonder is, is Wanyan Aguda a stunned young man? In such a situation, he either retreated immediately, or immediately attacked the city, and what did he mean by encamping in a river bend ten miles away from the city? Waiting for others to besiege you? I don't quite understand. Sun Dayong said in a deep voice.

Gao Muqing frowned and said, "Yes, what Brother Sun said is very reasonable, and I also think it is strange." If I were to predict it, it would be clear that the Jurchens were losing their opportunity and were in a desperate situation. At this moment, I am afraid that it will be difficult to withdraw from the army, and dare to win? ”

Lin Jue laughed, shook his head slowly, and said, "If Wanyan Agu is really a stupid person and uses soldiers so stupidly, why did Yelu Zongyuan lead a large army to exterminate him for several years, but he still didn't do so?" On the contrary, even a large area of Tokyo Road has been occupied? It's not as simple as you think. This is a very human being. ”

Sun Dayong hurriedly said: "What do you mean by your lordship...... Wanyan Agu has another plan? ”

Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "You only need to look at the actions of the Jurchen army to see that it is unusual. They made it look like they were going to attack Xingzhongfu, but the city of Xingzhongfu was strong, so how could it be said that it could be captured by attacking. Such a city, with only fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses to defend it, is enough to make it difficult for Wanyan Agu and his army to speak, but will suffer heavy losses. You have not forgotten the battle of Zhuozhou, Han Gang suffered a great defeat in the siege of the city with cavalry. The Liao people already had considerable means of defending the city. Zhuozhou has been prepared, will Xingzhong Mansion not have? ”

Gao Muqing suddenly said: "Yes." Xingzhong Mansion is stronger than the city of Zhuozhou, and it is the place where it is to be rushed, and it will not be defenseless. Yelu Zongyuan's choice to defend the city here was by no means a whim. Presumably ready. ”

Lin Jue nodded and smiled: "What Mu Qing said is very right. I don't know if you've noticed, but when I looked closely, I didn't find a single siege machine in the Jurchen army. That's where the weirdness comes in. Xingzhong Mansion is not something that can be rushed down casually. Unless his men are riding Pegasus, all with wings, and they all fly up to the city at the sound of an order, then there is naturally no need for siege equipment. But the current situation can only show one thing, they don't seem to be ready to attack the city. Or maybe they didn't plan to attack the city at all. ”

Sun Dayong was stunned and said, "That's strange? They didn't plan to attack the city, and they weren't prepared, so why did they want to put their troops here? The other party's two-way army is coming, isn't this putting yourself to death? ”

Lin Jue shook his head slowly, his eyes wandered over the river plain under the sunset, and said softly: "This Wanyan Agu is not simple, and he seems to be a very bold person. If he really wanted to do this, then how big his heart should be, how bold

How strong should it be? If he did it, how terrible would this man and his Jurchen army be? ”

Sun Dayong, Gao Muqing and others asked in unison: "What is he going to do?" ”

Lin Jue pondered in a deep voice: "If I'm not mistaken, he should really want to fight the Liao people here." ”

Sun Dayong gasped and said softly: "My lord is saying that he wants to use these 160,000 Jurchen cavalry to fight a decisive battle with twice his own Liao cavalry?" This is probably the stupidest thing to do. ”

Lin Jue slowly shook his head and said: "That is not necessarily stupid, the current situation, the Liao cavalry in the north has not yet crossed the river, and the Liao soldiers in the city will not leave the city, and his opponent is only one, that is, the Liao cavalry army that arrived in the southeast." By attacking only one group of troops, they are not inferior, but have an advantage in strength. Merely...... This is an extremely risky approach, and if you don't defeat your opponent in time, you will be in a siege. Judging from Wanyan Aguda's methods, he should be an adventurous person. It's a win-win or a lose-lose approach, leaving no way back. That's why I think this person is scary. Because the person who dares to do this, how strong his heart must be, how bold he must be, and how ambitious he must be. ”

Everyone on the top of the cliff was silent. The evening breeze blows, and the mountains and forests roar like waves, just like the mood of several people, undulating and unsettled.

"Husband, you say, will he really do this?" Gao Muqing couldn't help frowning and asked.

Lin Jue smiled and said, "I don't count what I said, I can see it tonight." If Wanyan Aguda really wanted to do this, he shouldn't delay too much time. Because the Liao cavalry in the north was crossing the river, delaying time was tantamount to self-destruction for him. Let's wait and see. ”

……

Everyone turned back to the cliff and made a fire in the pine forest to cook, and when it was dark, everyone who had eaten and drunk rested separately. After days of running and working, everyone was very tired. So it wasn't long before there was loud snoring everywhere in the forest.

Lin Jue was not sleepy, he sat by the campfire outside the simple hut, took a charcoal and drew a battle map on a rock, marking the march route of the Jurchens since the attack on Zhongjing Road, and the route of the Liao soldiers and horses. After that, he stared at this marching topographic map and frowned and thought, quietly distracted.

I don't know how long it took, Lin Jue felt that someone was wearing a shirt on his shoulders, and when he turned his head to look, it was Gao Muqing standing beside him, looking at him with concern.

"Why are you up? Why don't you go to sleep? Lin Jue asked in a low voice.

Gao Muqing smiled and said, "Didn't you sleep too?" I slept for a while, and when I woke up, I saw you still sitting by the fire. The night breeze on this mountain is very cool at night, and the husband is wearing thin clothes, so the husband should take care of himself. It's been a hard time for you. ”

Lin Jue smiled and nodded, reached out and grabbed Gao Muqing's hand and kissed it in his mouth. Gao Muqing's face was shy, and he looked around. Lin Jue pointed to the stump beside him, Gao Muqing nodded and sat down, snuggling up to Lin Jue's side.

"Bing'er slept?" Lin Jue held Gao Muqing's hand and asked with a low smile.

"Sister Bing'er was really tired, so she lay down on the pine branch and fell asleep. In the end, I am young, and I sleep soundly, unlike me, I can't sleep at all. As I get older, I have more things to worry about. Gao Muqing is light

Laughed.

Lin Jue smiled, shook his head and said, "How old you are, you are the same age as me, and you are only twenty-four years old, where are you old?" Hey, it's all my fault for teaching you to suffer with me. You could have stayed in the Valley of the Wild Goose, although it is not a good place, but at least you don't have to be so wandering and sleeping in the open air. I am a little sorry that you love cleanliness so much, and now you have to sleep on tree branches and beds, and eat dry food and live in a shack. ”

Gao Muqing chuckled and said, "What did the husband say?" Am I such a squeamish person? When my father was alive on Guishan Island, I did eat well and live well, but I was also a little squeamish. But since the accident on Guishan Island, I haven't suffered anything? Have you ever complained? Could it be that in my husband's mind, I am the one who can't endure hardship? ”

Lin Jue picked up Gao Muqing's hand and slapped it lightly on his mouth twice, and said, "Beat you nonsense kid, how much has my Muqing suffered, how can you say that about her?" ”

Gao Muqing hurriedly pulled out his hand and said angrily: "What are you doing? I'm just joking. ”

Lin Jue said softly: "In my mind, I will always remember the first time I saw you on Guishan Island. That day I hid in a tree, and you went to the grave of my father-in-law to burn paper, and when I heard you tell me about those things, I had a good impression of you. Later, after we joined forces, I left Guishan Island and thought about our situation on the island a lot. Thinking about our fake wedding, thinking about how you looked in your bridal dress. And when you and I were separated, you stood on the top of the cliff and watched me leave. I don't know how it feels, but anyway, when I see you again, my heart feels like I like it. It wasn't because your presence saved my life, but that I finally saw you again. After that, I knew that I would be entangled with you for the rest of my life. ”

Gao Muqing looked at Lin Jue with bright eyes, and the mist rose in his eyes. Although there were many heart-to-heart exchanges between her and Lin Jue, the two never recalled the original moments. As a man, Lin Jue rarely reveals his heart. Gao Muqing naturally knew that Lin Jue had himself in his heart, but Lin Jue had never said these gentle words to his face. At this moment, I was moved and happy in my heart, and it turned out that my husband's love words were so intoxicating.

"I ...... I...... In fact, after worshipping heaven and earth with you, I swore that you would not marry in this life. I'm a ...... Woman, even if it's a fake marriage, I will take it as real. I'm thankful for that hurricane, that ...... A cave on a lonely island. If it weren't for that incident, I might not be able to become a member of your Lin family in this life. Gao Muqing blushed and whispered.

Lin Jue smiled and quipped: "When the world is too peaceful, let's revisit the old land, just the two of us, go to the island, let's spend a few days." I fish, you cook. Let's paddle a bamboo row on the sea. It's definitely delicious. ”

Gao Muqing's eyes showed excitement, but then he smiled bitterly: "That's not necessary, if you make me happy, I will naturally be happy." But how can I go to that desert island with you again, don't my sisters have ideas? It doesn't matter, the events of that year are deeply imprinted in my heart, and this life is my best memory, so I don't have to do it again. ”

Lin Jue nodded slightly, feeling quite emotional in his heart.
