The back house of the government is under the candlelight. Wanyan Mingyue twisted the jade pendant in her hand and looked at it carefully in the candlelight. Her brows furrowed, because the first time she got the jade pendant, she found that the white wax ball on it was intact, and she was a little worried that Lin Jue didn't notice the information she had passed with the jade pendant. If the husband hadn't seen the note, wouldn't he be angry at the contents of the letter he had written, and would have thought that he had accused him of persecution?

Wanyan Mingyue's original attitude was to resolutely not cooperate with Wanyan Aguda. Wanyan Agu Da. forced him to write a letter to persuade Lin Jue to agree to cede the land of the Great Wednesday Road and reach an agreement to withdraw the troops, but Yan Mingyue refused. But then Wan Yan Mingyue carefully considered the whole thing, thinking that she was extremely passive to do nothing, she had to do something, at least inform Lin Jue of the conspiracy. One is that my brother said that he had set a trap and waited for the arrival of Lin Jue's army, and he was already ready to fight. The second is the despicable behavior of the elder brother who wants to use his mother and son to coerce Lin Jue into submission. If Lin Jue's army was encircled, it would be dangerous. Therefore, she must take the initiative to do something, even if it is to warn Lin Jue.

Therefore, when Wanyan Aguda came to persuade her again, Wanyan Mingyue agreed to write a letter to Lin Jue. Of course, she understood that this letter had to be written according to her brother's intentions, otherwise it would not be sent. So the letter was concocted, and the letter naturally proposed an agreement to cede the land in accordance with Wanyan Aguda's requirements, and according to Wanyan Aguda's meaning, he impressed Lin Jue with his and Nian'er's situation. But on the other hand, Wanyan Mingyue wrapped the note that really expressed her meaning in a wax ball, mixed it with a dozen pearls above the jade pendant and sent it out. The reason is also reasonable, without a token, Lin Jue would not believe that the letter was true, and this jade pendant that Lin Jue gave to himself was the most suitable. Of course, the intention of using that jade pendant is that the jade pendant has a special meaning, and it will definitely attract Lin Jue's special attention. Returning the jade pendant, Lin Jue must agree to his request, so that he can not be coerced for himself and Nian'er and fall into a trap, which is the last thing Wanyan Mingyue wants to see.

Wanyan Agu didn't doubt anything too much, after all, in Wanyan Mingyue's situation, cooperation was the only way out. Although Wanyan Mingyue's temper is stubborn, that child is her weakness. For the sake of that child, she also has to choose to cooperate.

Under the candlelight, Wan Yan Mingyue found the wax ball, which was no different from when it was sent, which made Wan Yan Mingyue very flustered. She reached over, crushed the wax ball, and suddenly cried out in surprise. The paper ball is no longer the paper ball for my own writing, I use a plain paper, and this paper ball has a pale yellow color, which is a commonly used paper. That must be the message that Lin Jue wrote back according to his own way.

"Clever husband, witty husband, just say that you will never fail to see my little design. How could you miss such a detail. ”

Wanyan Mingyue muttered happily while excitedly unfolding the small note on that side. There were a few lines written on the note: Mingyue and my wife, don't worry. Your first priority is to protect yourself and your son, and everything else is up to me, and soon you and I will be reunited. Fulin Jue word.

Wanyan Mingyue stared at the note for a long time, then slowly sat down on the chair, holding the note in her hand

On his chest, he closed his eyes and looked up, tears flowing.

Out of caution, Lin Jue did not reveal anything about what he was about to do on the note, because this way of transmitting information was really risky. But with only a few words, the worry and panic in Wan Yan Mingyue's heart were calmed down a lot. The husband said that everything has him, and that is enough to reassure people.

……

At dawn the next day, the army of the Falling Goose Army did not start immediately. Although Lin Jue had expected that the other party would fight against him in the plains and wilderness around Puyang, it was not surprising. However, caution must be exercised at this moment, especially to ensure that the army is not suddenly attacked by the opposing cavalry on all sides while marching, which will have disastrous consequences. Therefore, before starting the trip, it is necessary to determine the safety of the forward route and the surrounding environment.

Another important point is to beware of the Jurchens' specialty, which is the art of concealment.

At the beginning in the territory of Liao, Lin Jue had observed this stunt of the Jurchens at close range. Hiding and ambushing more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the endless wasteland, no one thought that there was such a possibility, and Lin Jue never felt that there was such a possibility, and it was not until after that night that Lin Jue opened his eyes. The Jurchens hid more than 100,000 cavalry on the grassland, and the Liao cavalry was ambushed in the middle of the attack, suffering heavy casualties. The flat terrain ahead was easier to hide soldiers and horses than the steppe terrain of the battle. It is said to be a flat wilderness, but it is not only slightly undulating, but also lush with vegetation. At such a time, the wilderness is lush and green, and it is not difficult for the Jurchens to hide here. So, everything has to be done with care. Self-confidence and rashness are never the same, Lin Jue never dared to act sloppily in combat, and was arrogant.

Ma Qingshan sent dozens of cavalry teams to search in a roundabout way on both sides of the direction of the march of the army to ensure that the future was unhindered. It was only after a certain time that the army marched after confirming its safety. It was not far from Puyang City, and he found that a large number of soldiers and horses of the other party were gathered around Puyang City, and the army marched for thirty miles, and in a wild place more than ten miles away from Puyang City, Lin Jue ordered to stop advancing and camp on the spot.

This time the camp was not a temporary station, but a wartime camp. The soldiers cut down trees and built fences. Walls were dug and perimeter fortifications were erected, and deep trenches were dug to line up the horse repulsion arrays as obstacles to the enemy. Not only that, in Lin Jue's design, a large number of high platforms will be built on the outer edge of the camp as firearm positions, and Shenwei General Cannons and swarm bazooka launchers will be erected. Lin Jue's plan was to artificially create favorable terrain and provide firearms to exert its power to cope with the possible onslaught of the opponent.

But in fact, although this method is effective, the number of firearms in the Luoyan army is limited, and if the opponent attacks from all directions, the firearms in each direction of the camp are actually not enough to resist the opponent's attack. Therefore, Lin Jue made a choice, in the southwest two directions of the camp, the terrain was a little bumpy, the vegetation was lush and some were luxuriant, and there were many ditches and ditches. The opponent's attack from these two directions will obviously be subject to the terrain and will not be too smooth. Then the infantry archers and the construction of arrow towers were the main shots, supplemented by a small number of firearms. In the northeast and northeast directions, the terrain is gentle, almost certainly for the attack of the opposing army, and is garrisoned with heavy troops and a large number of firearms. At the same time, 20,000 cavalry were used as a mobile force to rush to the aid of emergency places at any time.

The construction of this entire camp was huge, and fortunately 80,000 people joined the army

Let Lin Jue not have to let all the soldiers of the Luoyan Army spend their physical strength on this kind of thing. Each battalion dispatched 3,000 soldiers and horses, and the 12th battalion, with a total of 36,000 soldiers, together with 78 civilians escorting supplies, began a hot camping operation. By the time the sun was setting, the outline of a huge camp with a radius of three or four miles had basically taken shape. Lin Jue stood on a newly completed earthen platform and looked around, looking at the dense crowd of people working in full swing around him, the cavalry and soldiers cruising in the wilderness around him, and the construction of the huge tent in the camp one by one, he was very relieved. But he also knew that even if the more than 100,000 people were busy, it would take at least three days for the camp to achieve the defensive effect of a small city. And the other party obviously would not allow themselves to carry out such a large-scale camp under their noses. If it were him, he would have attacked as soon as possible without any delay.

However, he pretended to agree to Wanyan Aguda's request to negotiate an agreement, and this strategy of delaying the army may make Wanyan Aguda hesitate, and he may think that it is not necessary to solve the problem through combat. I hope that's what he thinks in his heart, and then he can buy a lot of time. But it is clear that even if Wanyan Aguda wants to solve the problem through negotiation, he will definitely not give himself enough time.

In fact, as Lin Jue expected, when the sun set, on the wilderness in the northeast, a group of Jurchen cavalry appeared within the warning range of the cavalry of the Luoyan Army with a clear banner. They soon sent a dozen horsemen to deliver the news, saying that the Jurchen leader Wanyan Aguda had asked to meet Lin Jue in front of the battle, and the sooner the better. said that he brought Princess Jinhua to let him meet him to show his sincerity.

Lin Jue sneered when he received the report, Wanyan Aguda was quite anxious, he must have been shocked by his posture, and was anxious to determine whether he was really willing to negotiate with him. Although Lin Jue wanted to see Yan Mingyue and his son whom he had never met immediately, at this time, Lin Jue obviously couldn't agree to meet. At the very least, it will be delayed until tonight, so that the camp can have a prototype and the firearms can be erected. The time of this first night was invaluable.

So Lin Jue ordered someone to reply, saying that it was too late to meet. It's not too late to meet again tomorrow morning. Please wait patiently for the night.

After Yan Aguda got the report, he was unwilling, and ordered someone to come again to spread the word that Lin Jue was not scared and did not dare to meet him, for fear of being ambushed. This kind of agitation Lin Jue would not be reasonable.

"The big leader can say whatever he likes, and he will come to meet early tomorrow morning to discuss it in detail. If the big leader doesn't want to talk, he will directly lead the army to attack, and see the real chapter on the battlefield, so why bother with his words. If you want to talk, please be early tomorrow. ”

Wanyan Aguda got such an answer, he thought about it again and again, and after weighing it, he felt that there was no need to be too hasty. The other side did build a camp with the intention of preparing for war, but this is actually normal, and it is impossible for them not to do any fortifications, after all, this is a confrontation between the two armies, which cannot be used as evidence that the other side is not sincere. It would be far-fetched to conclude that Lin Jue did not have the sincerity to negotiate. Moreover, if the peace negotiation is successful, it will be the greatest benefit to yourself, and it is better than fighting with the Luo Yan Army brainlessly. Save the strength of the soldiers and horses, and when you turn back, you can clean up the Liao State first, so as not to have an unstable stomach. As a last resort, it's better not to fight to the death with the Luoyan Army.
