Chapter 197: Going to the Banquet on Time Second Watch
After the report was finished, Yang Sichang's request was submitted.
Yang Sichang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the scholar of Dongge University, invited people to dinner, of course, he invited a person with a head and a face, and it was undoubtedly a supreme honor to be invited by him.
But after listening to the words of the soldiers and generals at the scene, their faces sank, and they all knew that trouble was coming, yesterday Lin Yi and Liu Zeqing invested 10,000 or 20,000 horses to fight, and so many generals were killed and injured, this matter must not be finished, and this banquet must have something to do with it. In addition, many people know that Lin Yi and Yang Sichang are in the same situation, and at this time, he is entertaining as a military department, and there is no need to ask if he is a drunkard.
Therefore, the generals said that tomorrow's banquet is definitely a Hongmen banquet, and they can't go at all.
Lin Yi pondered for a moment and asked, "Who else will be invited by the Yang Pavilion Department for tomorrow's banquet?" ”
"Back to my lord, the letter was sent by Lord Yang's personal entourage, he said, there are Liu Zeqing, the chief soldier of Shandong, Li Huajing, his general Li Huajing, and Zhu Dadian, the chief soldier of Nanjing, and the tiger David of Baoding, and Li Wenhai, the director of the military department, etc."
"Okay, if you reply to the messenger, you will say that the general army of Tianben will go to the banquet on time, and then meet with the Lord of the Pavilion and report on the situation of the battle against the thieves and other matters."
"Yes." The general who reported the incident replied and left.
Zu Keyong, Wang Jian, Zhang Hua and others looked at each other and hurriedly dissuaded them.
"My lord, this is obviously a trap, can't you forget what kind of person Yang Sichang is, who are the people he invited, Liu Zeqing and Li Huajing needless to say, that Zhu Dadian and Tiger David are not good things, my lord, you can't go!"
"Yes, my lord, there is no good wine, there is no good banquet, it is definitely them who colluded with Liu Zeqing and others, this is a trap."
"To go is to die."
What is even more anxious is Xiaoying and Zhezhe, they are afraid that Lin Yi will make such a decision, but they are afraid of anything, but they know Lin Yi's temper, and the decision he made cannot be persuaded by others.
"Don't talk about it, I've thought about all these things. I, Lin Yi, am now a military general of the Ming Dynasty, and I am the chief military officer in terms of position, and I am holding the salary of Chaoyan. Yang Sichang is the secretary of the Ministry of War, not to mention the banquet, even if he ordered me Lin Yi to go. Otherwise, it is disobedience, and according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, it is necessary to kill the head. If you are absent, you will still give people a handle, and you will be weak and afraid of death, and you will be as timid as a mouse. Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door. ”
"But Brother Lin, you don't have a ghost in your heart, they have a ghost in your heart! Liu Qingze and Li Huajing hate you to the bone, Yang Sichang has long wanted to put you to death, don't look at the last time you rode alone into their company camp and were unscathed, that was because they were not prepared. This time is different, they must have conspiracy and tricks, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, they prefer to go to Tiger Mountain, and if they go, they will be equivalent to entering the tiger's den in Longtan. Xiao Ying knew that she couldn't persuade her, but she still couldn't help it.
Lin Yi smiled, "It's not as serious as you said, the discord between me and the Yang Pavilion was a matter of the past, it's all over, he must have set up a banquet because of me and Liu Zeqing, since this matter has happened, this time I just made it clear to him face to face, and see who is right and wrong." The two tigers and other brothers who died have not avenged their revenge, and if they don't kill the murderer Li Huajing, I Lin Yi can't explain to these brothers. Yang Gebu came just in time, and this time I just asked him for an explanation.
In addition, we have won such a big battle, Luo Rucai and 20,000 prisoners of war are in our hands, the brothers have made such a great contribution, and there is such a good opportunity in front of us. ”
"Oh, Brother Lin, why are you so smart and confused? If they are framed, what are they talking about ignoring and not succeeding? ”
Zhezhe also blushed urgently, usually Lin Yi spoke in front of everyone, Zhezhe is a princess of the Mongolian tribe, a beautiful lady, and a well-informed person, she will not intervene, and he can't help it today.
"How dare he?" Lin Yi sneered, "I, Lin Yi, am not Lu Gongxiangsheng, I have my own arrangements for tomorrow, if they are unreasonable and framed, I, Lin Yi, will smash their banquet and turn him upside down!" ”
After Lin Yi finished speaking, he didn't have the heart to watch the generals take stock of the gold and silver, so he took Xiaoying, Zhezhe and others back to his camp.
After dinner, Xiaoying sent everyone else out, leaving Zhang Hua to stand guard at the door. There were only three people left in the camp, Xiaoying, Zhezhe and Lin Yi.
"Tomorrow's banquet, Brother Lin is really going?"
"I've decided."
"What are Brother Lin's plans for tomorrow? Bring more people, and I'll go with you. ”
"Let Zhang Hua select a hundred good skills from the guard battalion and the standard battalion, and it is not appropriate to bring more. You two sisters stayed in the camp for me. Here is the key, if he Yang Sichang and Liu Zeqing dare to come nonsense, you and the ancestor commander will give me a hateful beating, the harder you fight, the safer I will be over there. In addition, let Luo Rucai and others go, the more chaotic the better. ”
"We understand that just a hundred people is too little, and it's a drop in the bucket. If they have a conspiracy, they will not have less ambushes and horses, and in addition, you are in the open, the ambush is in the dark, and we have only more than 10,000 people and horses, and the three of them have a total of 50,000 or 60,000 horses. ”
"A large number of people is not necessarily useful, their fifty or sixty thousand horses are no more than ant soldiers. Didn't I teach you? The soldiers are fine but not many, and they will be planning but not brave. The people I brought are all one as ten, and besides, I am going to a banquet tomorrow, and it is not good to bring too many people. ”
"But Brother Lin ......"
"Okay, okay, that's it. Don't leave tonight, stay with me. Lin Yi interrupted them and grabbed one in one hand.
Under the light, Xiaoying and Zhezheqiao's faces were slightly red, and they said in their hearts, if you drive us tonight, our sisters will not leave......
After the lights were stopped, the three of them were lying on the bed, and the aroma of the opposite sex made Lin Yi a little impulsive, but when he thought of tomorrow, he was not in the mood. Xiao Ying and Zhezhe hugged Lin Yi tightly, thinking of all the things that could happen tomorrow, and after a thousand instructions, the last three of them fell asleep......
The next morning, Lin Yi was accompanied by Xiao Ying Zhezhe, practiced martial arts for a while, and moved his muscles and bones, after breakfast, Lin Yi called Zu Keyong, Wang Jian and Zhang Hua to the camp tent and made arrangements one by one.
After the three generals agreed to the promise, Lin Yi's battalion immediately took action, and on the surface, there was nothing to see, and the battalion dispatched troops to prepare for a big battle.
At midnight, Zhang Hua picked out a hundred people, all of whom were the elites of the guard battalion and the standard battalion, in addition to Zhang Hua, there were also Gan Bao and Jiang Xingyuan, and the rest of the standard battalion was temporarily in charge of Zu Keyong.
Of the 100 people selected by Zhang Hua, except for Zhang Hua Ganbao and Jiang Xingyuan, the remaining 90 people were either from Guanning Iron Cavalry or from the Tianxiong Army, and all of them were outstanding figures in the Guard Battalion and the Standard Battalion. They have followed Lin Yi for many years, they are absolutely loyal and reliable, and they have no problem in terms of skills. All of them are double weapons, with firearms, bows and arrows, spears, and short knives, all of which are fully armed.
These hundred generals are also equipped with the best, all of them are metal armor. Lin Yi was wearing heavy armor, which was two layers of armor inside and outside, soft armor on the inside, and metal armor on the outside. In addition, the body carries a bow and arrows, with an arc of arrows, that is, three arrows, the bird wing ring of the war horse is connected to the victory hook with the green dragon glaive, and the waist hangs a single knife, in order to prevent accidents, there is also a dagger knife hidden in the military boots, one horse and four weapons.
After everything was ready, Lin Yi set off with a hundred guards. Zu Keyong, Wang Jian, Xiaoying, Zhezhe and others saw each other off at the gate of the camp and gave another advice.
How far Lin Yi's team went, Xiao Ying and Zhezhe urged the horse to catch up again.
"Brother Zhang, Brother Gan Bao, Brother Jiang, the safety of adults depends on you, you must protect Lord Lin, if something goes wrong, you are the only one to ask."
"Two aunts and grandmothers, you have said this eight times, if there is a mistake, we will not survive even if we have nine lives." Zhang Huadao.
"Don't say anything unlucky, you have to come back alive!"
"Don't worry, if we are here, there will be adults." Gan Bao and Jiang Xingyuan are older, and they don't joke, and the two swear by it.
After speaking, the three of them beat horses and flew to chase Lin Yi's team.
Zu Keyong and Xiao Ying watched at the gate of the camp until Lin Yi led the team to cross the Baishui River from the shallow water.
"Lord Zu, Lord Wang, are you ready?"
"The two young ladies rest assured, according to the orders of the adults, all the men and horses of the four battalions are in place, the cannons are ready, and the exploration horses are all released." Zu Keneng and Wang Jiandao.
Xiaoying and Zhezhe returned to the camp and ordered all the women's battalions to gather!
