As the sun set, at the top of the Range Rover Tower, Lin Jue stood quietly in the narrow stone fence lookout, watching the afterglow of the sunset. The western sky is as beautiful as a mirage. The glow of the setting sun reflected on Lin Jue's calm face and upright posture, as if gilding him with a golden halo. The wind in the sky blew through the small window of the stone tower, and Lin Jue's purple-red cloak flew away, and the heroic warrior was like a god.

Below the stone tower, in the camp of the army, the neighing horses and horses were busy in the city. After the Qingshuixi meeting broke up unhappily, Lin Jue returned to promise and quickly convened an enlarged meeting of the generals of the whole army, and four or five hundred generals above the team were summoned. Lin Jue announced the news that he was going to fight the Jurchens, and made a general mobilization against them. The generals of the Luoyan army reacted extremely enthusiastically, although they knew that this time it was a frontal battle against a 100,000 against 300,000 Jurchen army, but they actually showed great confidence, and they were eager to try one by one, eager to fight immediately.

After the meeting, word spread throughout the camp. All the fallen geese and horses were in a state of pre-war excitement. They were busy preparing for the battle, sorting out and inspecting armor and equipment, wiping blades, checking saddles, and so on. So, although the war had not yet begun, the camp was in a commotion.

Lin Jue had been standing on the tower for almost half an hour. It stands to reason that at this time, he should discuss the battle plan with Guo Kun, Shen Tan, Ma Qingshan, Sun Dayong, Liang Qi and others. But Lin Jue didn't do this, he left everyone and went up to the tower alone, as if enjoying the scenery of the sunset, and didn't move for a long time.

The footsteps were soft, and someone slowly walked behind Lin Jue and spoke softly.

"Husband, the sun has set, and the wind is cold. Don't stand at this tuyere for a long time. Beware of the cold. "It's Bai Bing who came, and at this time, only Bai Bing can come to him without Lin Jue's summons, and the other generals don't dare to disturb him at will, this is Lin Jue's majesty in the Luoyan Army.

Lin Jue walked over his head, saw the worried look in Bai Bing's eyes, and smiled: "It's okay, I'm just immersed in the beauty of this sunset." There is a poem: The sunset is infinitely good. The sunset is truly beautiful. ”

Bai Bing stared at the scenery to the west and nodded, "It's really beautiful, but it's only very short-lived." I don't like the sunset, I like the rising sun. Because that's a fresh beginning. The sunset is beautiful, but soon it will be night, and I don't like the night. ”

Lin Jue smiled, reached over and grabbed her soft little hand, and said in a deep voice: "The sunrise and sunset are all beautiful scenery, and you think about it so much." There is nothing wrong with the sunset, the sunset is setting, and the night is coming, which does make people feel short and feel unhappy. However, after the night came the morning. How can you see the morning glow without going through the night? This is true of everything in the world. Winter goes to spring, cold comes and goes, flowers bloom and fall, night and dawn are all like this. You just attach your personal emotions to the scenery, so you give birth to likes and dislikes. In fact, they are just a cycle and a replacement in themselves. ”

Bai Bing nodded lightly, sighed and said, "What the husband said is that Bing'er was affected by her emotions. ”

Lin Jue nodded and said, "I see worry in your eyes, are you worried about the outcome of this big battle?" ”

Bai Bing was stunned, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "It may be a little inappropriate for Bing'er to say this now, but Bing'er always feels a little uneasy in her heart. I think it's a bit inappropriate for us to engage the Jurchens head-on. But when I saw that my husband, the little prince, and the whole army were full of confidence, I was afraid that I would spoil the scenery by saying such things. But I'm actually very worried. ”

Lin Jue smiled and looked down at Bai Bing's delicate face and said, "Oh? Tell me what you think is wrong? ”

Bai Bing said: "Husband, I don't understand anything, I don't dare to talk nonsense." If it's wrong, it's not a joke. Since the husband has decided something, it must be thoughtful, and I shouldn't talk too much. I don't really know anything about fighting. ”

Lin Jue smiled and said, "Don't be so restrained, I'm just chatting with you." Sometimes the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and maybe you can put forward good suggestions from the perspective of the bystanders. I don't blame you for saying yes. ”

Bai Bing thought for a while and said, "Then I really said it, you don't want to laugh at me if you say something wrong." Anyway, don't take my words seriously, I don't want to make your heart blocked. ”

Lin Jue smiled and said, "You can rest assured." How could I change my course because of your words? Don't you see that the whole army is gearing up for battle? The battle is already on the way. You don't have to worry about influencing my decision-making. ”

Bai Bing nodded, turned his head to look at the mountains in the twilight, and lightly raised his red lips and said, "Okay." First of all, Bing'er felt that it would be unwise for me to fall into a head-on battle with the other party's 300,000 soldiers and horses. Is it debatable that the opponent has three times as many troops as ours, but still has to fight it head-on? The second is that the Jurchens are the best at field combat, we did not avoid their edge, but let them play to their strengths, is this too much? Although my Luoyan army is not a rabble, is it unwise to use such a hard-hitting tactic? If it was a battle to defend the city, it was understandable. Bing'er is shallow, these words may be too naïve, husband don't want to laugh, but this is the true thought in my heart. ”

Lin Jue smiled and nodded: "Your opinion is not naïve, the two points you said are indeed true, why should you be arrogant?" ”

Bai Bingjiao said angrily: "Could it be that you already understand these things in your heart? So why are you doing it? Is it dismissive? ”

Lin Jue shook his head slowly, looked at the large camp several miles long and wide under the busy tower, and said softly: "Bing'er, can you think of this, can't the lieutenant general of the army think of it?" Husband, even if I didn't expect it, didn't the little prince, Deputy Commander Ma, Deputy Commander Shen, Ma Qingshan, Sun Dayong, Liang Qi and other generals think of it? Won't they remind me of that? ”

Bai Bing thought for a while and said, "They may all know this, but they trust you too much and rely on you too much, maybe they feel that since you don't say it, it doesn't matter." Bing'er could see that the entire Luoyan army actually followed her husband's orders and relied on her husband's decision-making to act. They may have thought of something, but they were afraid that their husbands had already made arrangements, so they would be timid when they said it. Just like me, I actually think that my husband must have something to consider, and I just want peace of mind when I ask. They may not be as convenient as me to ask you, after all, Bing'er is the wife of her husband, and she won't be surprised if she says the wrong thing. ”

Lin Jue frowned and said, "What you said may be reasonable, they do rely too much on my decision-making." But that's normal, too. I am the commander of the Falling Goose Army, and it is only natural that they follow my military orders. Military orders are like mountains, and my words are the holy decrees of the army, and it is their duty not to question them. Sometimes, it doesn't need to be discussed. Just like now, once the details of the battle are discussed, an infinite number of ideas will emerge that will not be unanimous in the end. It's better for me to give the final say. Because this battle is inevitable, there is no room for discussion. If the Luoyan Army wants to make a difference, this battle must be taken. That's the premise, you know? ”

Bai Bing frowned and shook his head and said softly: "Bing'er is stupid, I don't quite understand." ”

Lin Jue said: "The current situation dictates that since I am out of the mountain, there is no reason to return to the mountain. Now that the imperial court has existed in name only, Lu Zhongtian and the Jurchens have colluded together. If we can't open up the situation, there will be no place for us. Many people may think that it is a big deal to go back to the valley of Funiu Mountain and live the old life. As everyone knows, that's no longer possible. Once we are defeated and retreated, the Jurchens will inevitably swallow the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Lu Zhongtian will also take the opportunity to stand on his own, and no matter which side of them is, they will not let us go. Mount Funiu looks huge, but it's actually too small. Resources are also scarce, and they can't resist their encirclement and suppression. Even if we don't encircle and suppress us, we will be trapped in the mountains for three or five years. In fact, we have no way out, and there is no way to avoid it. Only by fighting head-to-head and defeating the opponent can the situation be opened. Raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, the Luoyan Army has been dormant in the mountains for several years, just for this moment in front of them, there is only a battle to the death, and there is nothing else. ”

Bai Bing nodded slowly and said, "Bing'er understands, it's true, we really have no way out." Now that he gave up, he gave up the Great Zhou world, and he just waited for death in Funiu Mountain. What else is there to talk about saving the people who are hiding and helping the Zhou Society to be overturned? ”

Lin Jue nodded and said, "Exactly." The disadvantages of fighting it head-on are also true. The other side does have three times more soldiers and horses than us, and the Jurchens are good at frontal field combat. Of course, I know that. But these are things we can't avoid. We can't send more troops to fight out of thin air, and all we can rely on is these 100,000 soldiers. We have no city to defend, except for Bianliang City, there is no strong city to defend in the land of Gyeonggi, and we can only fight with their sons in the wilderness. It's not that we don't understand this, but we don't have a choice. If there were other options, we would have made adjustments, but unfortunately we didn't. ”

Bai Bing looked up at Lin Jue's face, and suddenly felt a little ashamed in his heart. She thought that her husband was negligent, but in fact, her husband knew these things better than anyone else.

Lin Jue's gaze stared at the already twilight earth, and he continued: "What you said are just two obvious drawbacks, in fact, we still have many difficulties of our own. For example, our 100,000 soldiers and horses, although they have been trained in Funiu Mountain for several years, look strong and strong. However, less than forty percent of them have actually participated in actual combat. The rest did not really go through the battle. You should know that no matter how hard you train and how close you are to actual combat, it can't be compared with actual combat. On the real battlefield, even if a person with high martial arts skills has not seen the tragedy of the battlefield, I am afraid that even a thin and experienced veteran will be useful. Do you remember the first time you killed the enemy with me in Luoyan Valley? Before you see the enemy, you will collapse just by seeing the corpses on the battlefield. And it was just a small battle. You've experienced a lot of real large-scale battles, and you know the psychological impact it can have on people. No matter how well-trained a soldier is, can he really be useful on a brutal battlefield? No one knows, no one can guarantee it, can it? ”

Bai Bing was stunned and speechless, she had to admit that Lin Jue's words were right. It turns out that the hidden worries are not only what I see, but the husband sees far more than what he sees.
