Chapter 1224: A Storm and a Storm

Lin Jue nodded and said: "What Mu Qing said is good, Guo Xu wants to unite with the Jurchens, and the north and south will take advantage of the current chaos of the Liao State to destroy the Liao State." In order to hide people's eyes, Guo Xu released the false news that he was going to send troops to help the Liao people quell the rebellion, and he must have secretly communicated with the Jurchens in private. The appearance of Jurchen warships and imperial warships on this vast sea was not accidental, but an agreed alliance. I am sure that on those ships, there will be important people on both sides who will meet here with their own supreme will. Discuss the major event of the alliance's extermination of Liao. ”

Several people on the top of the cliff were silent. The sea breeze howls and makes people cold. But everyone didn't realize it, and all they could think about was this amazing fact and plan. I wondered what the consequences would be.

"Husband, do you think this thing can be successful? If the Great Zhou and the Jurchens join forces, will the Liao State be destroyed? If the Liao State can be destroyed, wouldn't it be possible to expand the territory and create a great cause? Gao Muqing said softly.

Lin Jue looked at the undulating fleet in the waves in the distance, and said softly: "Regardless of whether the Liao Kingdom is destroyed or not, there is a saying called driving tigers and devouring wolves, you should have heard of it. The Liao people are the country of tigers and wolves, and the Jurchens are even more so than the Liao people. Being next to the Liao people and being bullied by the Liao people, wouldn't it be much better to deal with the Jurchens? Are the Jurchens really willing to carve up the Liao land with the Great Zhou? If, after swallowing the Liao State, the Jurchens and the Liao people coveted the Great Zhou, would the Great Zhou be able to resist it? The Liao people can't resist the attack of the Jurchens, does Da Zhou have this ability? ”

Lin Jue asked a series of questions, but no one answered him, only the whistling sea breeze blew by, blowing everyone's big hunt and flying, brushing and pulling.

"The current situation of the Great Zhou, the interior has collapsed, and he still wants to expand the territory and make a big move? This is not to expand the territory, I am afraid this is a cowardly move that does not measure itself. I dare to say that even if the Liao people are in a difficult situation at present, my Great Zhou soldiers and horses may not be their opponents. If the Great Zhou was defeated in the hands of the Liao, although it could create opportunities for the Jurchens, it would also cause the Jurchens to despise them. This is like the story of the donkey of Qian, if you don't move, people still think you are a behemoth and dare not move you easily. As soon as you move, you will only scream and scream, revealing the bottom line. Then it will lead to catastrophe. The wisest way to do it in the Great Zhou is not to help each other and sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Although the Jurchens had a fierce momentum, their strength was not enough to destroy the Liao State alone. The two sides will continue to fight for years, exhausting each other. In that way, the two fierce beasts in the north of my Great Zhou will not be able to covet my Great Zhou, but will compete to win over the Great Zhou. Da Zhou can get a chance to breathe, improve people's livelihoods, and restore strength. That's the right thing to do. Instead of going to rejoice in the great achievements, do something to expand the territory, and play this kind of trick of taking millet from the fire. ”

Sun Dayong smiled and said, "My lord, isn't this good for us?" If the imperial court really wants to join forces with the Jurchens to destroy Liao, wouldn't my Luoyan army take the opportunity to grow stronger? ”

Lin Jue glanced at him sternly, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Sun, this kind of thinking is not allowed. I have repeatedly emphasized that we are not anti-Da Zhou, but anti-Guo Xu. Do you know what the consequences of the imperial court doing this will be, and it will cost the people and money and the country's strength. If it is big, it will lead to the disaster of destroying the country. Could it be that my Luoyan army actually wants to take advantage of the danger of national disaster? Then we have really become traitors in their mouths? This is a major issue of right and wrong, and it must be clarified. ”

Sun Dayong's expression was dazed, and he hurriedly said: "Don't be annoyed, the villain knows that he is wrong." ”

Gao Muqing was a little unconvinced, and frowned: "Is the husband worried too much?" It is certain that the people will lose their money, but it is impossible to say that there will be a disaster to destroy the country. Whether it is the Liao people or the Jurchens, can they destroy the Great Zhou? ”

Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "Da Zhou has become an empty shell, can't you see it?" Haven't you felt what you've seen and heard all the way east? Jingxi Road is flooded with displaced people, and famine is everywhere. The imperial court confiscated all the supplies that had been given to the military before, causing a famine, which would cause chaos. Especially in the area of Jingxi Road, the rebellion of the bandits has just subsided, and it is easy to regenerate chaos. Didn't you see the situation in Bohai County? Ah Sheng is already half an adult, he doesn't even have decent clothes, and he is still wearing shoes with exposed fingers, and the family is half hungry and half full. That's just a microcosm of the people of Bohai County. How many places are as poor and hungry as Bohai County? What are the consequences of losing a livelihood? If the situation in Dazhou is stable, it may not cause too much chaos. But if an enemy invades, there will be chaos inside. Internal and external difficulties, together with the force, the gorgeous edifice of the Great Zhou will collapse. It's as fast as you can imagine. At that time, the land of Shenzhou will become a place for foreign enemies to trample on with iron hooves, and a place for chaotic people to attack and disturb. The death of the country and the destruction of the family are just around the corner. DID YOU KNOW? ”

Lin Jue's tone was a little harsh, and Gao Muqing's face was a little ugly, but he didn't argue, bowed his head and said nothing.

Bai Bing hurriedly said: "Sister Gao is just a question, why are you so fierce?" Really. Can't you ask if you don't understand? ”

Lin Jue sighed and said, "It's not that I murdered her, but the situation is very serious." Guo Xu took a stinky move, he himself was unlucky, it would affect the Great Zhou and the people. You must understand the great dangers of these things, and you must not have any illusions. There is no trivial matter related to the rise and fall of a country, and there is no fluke. There must not be a situation where the country is ruined, even if it is only a small possibility, because the cost is too great. Mu Qing, if I have a bad attitude, I hope you don't take it to heart. ”

Gao Muqing said: "I don't blame my husband. The husband is worried about the country and the people, so he is so anxious. So what do we do now? ”

Lin Jue looked at the ships in the distance and sighed: "There is nothing we can do, they are making an alliance at sea, and we can't stop it." Once an agreement is reached, it won't be long before the war rages on. The only thing we can do is stare dryly. ”

Everyone really glared at Lin Jue a few times, such words came out of Lin Jue's mouth very rarely, there were not many things that could make him helpless, and I am afraid that he was really helpless at the moment. Several people stood on the cliff and watched the ships on the sea, Lin Jue frowned and did not move, and did not say to leave, and everyone could only accompany him to stare here. They also hoped that Lin Jue might be able to come up with some good solution.

An hour passed quickly, and everyone clearly felt that the sea breeze seemed to increase. The howling wind made it almost impossible to stand. And the wind was mixed with cold Xiaoice hail, and the gloomy dark clouds overhead became thicker and thicker. The sea was also rough, and the waves were one after the other, one higher than the other. The sound of huge waves crashing against the cliffs of the island roared like thunder. At some point, all of a sudden, hail mixed with snowflakes poured down. down. All around was suddenly in a fog.

"Hurry up, stay out of the way." Sun Dayong shouted.

Everyone hurriedly descended the cliff and hid in a depression in the cliff face. But it was as if there was a war between heaven and earth, and in the dark clouds of the sky, it was like countless heavenly soldiers shooting white arrows at the ground and the sea. Countless white threads connect heaven and earth. Hail the size of a soybean crackled and jumped on the ground, and soon filled the potholes in the ground. After the hail subsides, the wind blows the sea and islands from the sky. It was like countless white devils whizzing and rolling in the air.

Lin Jue had never seen a winter storm at sea, and in his experience, the snow fell silently, and the wind was calm, which was a kind of beauty. However, the heavy snow on the sea defied his perception, and the wind not only did not stop, but became stronger. The snowflakes did not fall slowly and silently, but were swept by the wind like a swarm of flying white moths, hitting everything in bursts. Can you imagine the pain of a snowflake hitting your skin? Snowflakes have this raging effect under the action of strong winds, and when they fall on people's bare skin, they will feel like they are smashing on them.

Everyone stared blankly at the wind and snow on the tyrannical sea, and they were deeply shocked. For a while, he even forgot about other things, and looked at all this happening between heaven and earth in a daze.

Suddenly, Lin Jue shouted, "Not good! ”

Everyone looked at Lin Jue in amazement, but heard Lin Jue say: "In such a storm, can the ship stay at sea?" ”

"What do you mean, husband?" Gao Muqing said.

Lin Jue said: "The Jurchens and the ships of the imperial court can't stay at sea at all, but they ...... They ......"

"They're going ashore!" Bai Bingjiao shouted.

"Isn't it! They must go to the island to avoid the wind and waves, such weather, isn't it looking for death at sea? He can't stand any big ship. Sun Dayong slapped his thigh and shouted.

"Then ...... Are we in danger? When they go to the island, they will find ours. Gao Muqing also understood.

Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "Not necessarily. It is certain that they will go to the island to take refuge from the wind, but they may not find us. But we have to be more careful. I figured they would have to dock at the dock to the north, and then we'd head south, trying not to get near them. Besides, they must not have finished talking, and I would love to know what they talked about. There may still be some opportunity to sabotage their negotiations. At the very least, you have to know what they're talking about. ”

Sun Dayong braved the wind and snow to tell the people who remained in the woods on the east bank to leave, and the group braved the blizzard to make a difficult journey south, and finally found a clearing under a huge rock in the woods next to the beach on the south side of the island, and built a temporary shelter from the wind, and everyone took shelter under the rock.

The snowstorm raged for more than an hour, and by the time it stopped, the heavens and the earth had become white. The trees, beaches, rocks, and cliffs have all been covered with a thick layer of snow. And the snow was very hard, not like the soft snow on land. It was all smashed into the rocks and branches on the ground, like rammed earth.

The wind also became much lighter, and after the snow stopped, Sun Dayong climbed to the left near the high place to look at the sea, and there was no trace of a warship on the south side of the sea. Either they've all overturned, or they're docked somewhere on the island.
