Chapter 1484: The Great Enemy Is Now
Lin Jue looked at Shen Tan quietly, and suddenly smiled: "Second Brother Shen, isn't it because I reprimanded you before that you were unhappy?" At the moment of the great enemy, it is indeed inappropriate for Second Brother Shen to say such things, and I can't help but speak. But in private, I can apologize to Second Brother Shen. In any case, you are my brother-in-law. ”
Shen Tan also looked at Lin Jue and said softly: "Brother Lin, you know that I am not unhappy because of this matter, besides, what you said is right, as the deputy marshal of the army, I said inappropriate things." It's really my fault, I know it very well in my heart, how can I blame you. Hey, in fact, you know in your heart, Brother Lin is an extremely smart person, what can be hidden from your eyes. Well, I won't say more, and I don't need to say too thoroughly. Anyway, I've said what I want to say, and I'm feeling a lot more comfortable. I'm going to prepare for battle, so I'm leaving. ”
Shen Tan bowed his hand, turned around and strode away. Lin Jue quietly watched his figure disappear at the door of the big tent, his expression was complicated, and he didn't know what to feel in his heart.
Lin Jue heard it, Shen Tan should have noticed something, so he came to say these words to himself. It seems to be a few words without a head, but Lin Jue can actually understand his subtext. Shen Tan said that he couldn't help himself, in Lin Jue's opinion, it was not a quibble excuse, but really involuntarily.
Lin Jue has some understanding of Shen Tan's background and background. Shen Tan was originally a figure in the rivers and lakes, but he was arrested by the government because he committed a major crime. Liang Wang Guo Bing has been recruiting talents for many years, and there are countless guests and characters in the rivers and lakes. Guo Bing took a fancy to Shen Tan's martial arts and popularity in the rivers and lakes, so he rescued Shen Tan. made Shen Tan change from a death row prisoner to the commander of the guards of the Liang Palace. Therefore, for Shen Tan, Guo Bing, the king of Liang, has a life-saving grace for him, and he is also a favored master. Shen Tan is a person who talks about morality and kindness in the rivers and lakes, and Guo Bing, the king of Liang, has such a great favor to him, of course he is determined to serve the king of Liang.
Because of this, Shen Tan's initial friendship with Lin Jue was definitely a premeditated act according to King Liang's request. However, in the process of dating, Shen Tan developed a real friendship with Lin Jue. Otherwise, with Shen Tan's character, if he hadn't made friends sincerely, he would not have sworn to Lin Jue as a righteous brother. Although Shen Tan has been in the palace for many years, his background as a character in the rivers and lakes has not changed much, and he will not swear brothers with others in order to achieve his goal, that is not his Shen Tan's code of conduct.
Because of this, Shen Tan actually fell into a dilemma. On the one hand, he wants to repay the kindness to King Liang and serve King Liang loyally. On the other hand, he admired Lin Jue and genuinely befriended him. He had to spy on Lin Jue according to King Liang's request, but he refused to do anything to hurt Lin Jue. Being in this situation is actually a kind of torment, but this kind of behavior that both sides want to do well is ultimately a heavy burden, and he will not be human on both sides, and neither side will be pleased. He should have been in this kind of contradiction and torment for a long time, but he couldn't do anything about it.
After the death of Prince Liang, Shen Tan naturally wanted to serve the little prince. Guo Kun naturally knew that Shen Tan was a person arranged by his father to befriend Lin Jue, and Shen Tan was extremely trusted by Lin Jue, of course Guo Kun would not let go of such a useful person. In fact, Guo Kun had more than one secret meeting with Shen Tan, hoping that Shen Tan would not forget his life-saving grace of King Liang's mansion and be as loyal to him as he was to King Liang. To stand by his side at a critical time, he must report every move of Lin Jue and any clues that are unfavorable to him Guo Kun. even asked Shen Tan to play an important role at a critical time. Of course, Shen Tan understood the worries in Guo Kun's heart, Lin Jue's status had already brought hidden worries to Guo Kun, and he naturally knew what Guo Kun wanted to do to protect him at a critical time.
This is where Shen Tan is entangled. Seeing that the situation was developing more and more in the direction he didn't want to see, Shen Tan's distress was great, but he couldn't solve it. He could only do his best not to hurt either party, but it was very difficult to do. It is inevitable that he will have to say something for Guo Kun in public, and say something inappropriate at some time to express his position.
Today, he came to see Lin Jue at this moment, not because Lin Jue gave him an unprecedented embarrassment at the meeting. Instead, he was sure that Lin Jue had already doubted himself. He didn't want Lin Jue to misunderstand, so he came to confess his heart. He couldn't say it explicitly, so what he said was plausible and abrupt.
Lin Jue could actually understand his situation, so even though Lin Jue knew what Shen Tan had done, he still chose not to expose it. Lin Jue hoped that one day Shen Tan would be able to confess to himself in person. Confession of this magnitude is clearly not enough today. Lin Jue also hoped to be able to solve this matter, and he didn't want to lose Shen Tan, a friend of life and death. But the initiative in this matter is not in Lin Jue's hands, and Lin Jue will not have the patience to wait for a long time. Today, Shen Tan can come forward to say these words, Lin Jue is actually quite relieved in his heart, this is an opportunity, but it is a pity that the enemy is current, Lin Jue does not have enough time to talk to Shen Tan deeply. Maybe after this battle, this matter should be settled.
……
In the evening, countless cavalry black pressure overwhelmingly arrived at the sound of the vast wilderness west of the ten-mile long post. The sound of horses' hooves was like thunder rolling on the earth, and the ground shook like the earth shook the mountains. The sight of as many as 178,000 cavalry galloping towards it was like a raging torrent from the horizon. The majesty of the momentum was so menacing that Guo Kun, who was standing at the top of the Range Rover Tower and observing the enemy's situation, was so frightened that he almost screamed. Guo Kun was terrified in his heart, although he patted his chest and said some bold words before, but at this moment, the cold hair on his body stood on end, and his calves were trembling.
More than 70,000 cavalry of the original Great Zhou Forbidden Army arrived along the north bank of the Bianhe River under the leadership of Chen Jue and Wang Jun. To the north of them, the 110,000 cavalry led by Wanyan Aguda himself also pounced under the ten-mile long post. The two cavalrymen, one south and one north, were under the hill. In the rear, two soldiers and horses with more than 100,000 infantry quickly arrived.
The large battalion of the Luoyan army located below the hill has been completely dismantled, knowing that the opponent's army is about to arrive, it is natural to respond. The large camp under the hill is invincible, and the order that Lin Jue arranged earlier was to withdraw all the battalions to the top of the hill slope and the location of the slope. This is also the only terrain that the Falling Goose Army can use. Although the ten-mile long hill is not tall, it is just a narrow hill with an altitude of only tens of meters from north to south. But at this moment, in this vast plain and wilderness, the terrain of this low hill is precious. The entire hill is like a natural Great Wall wall, giving the Luoyan army a little advantage in the terrain. And although the hill is not high, the slopes on both sides of it are gentle, and the width of the east and west sides reaches nearly two miles, which also gives the Luoyan army a large number of soldiers and horses to garrison the space. A few days earlier, Lin Jue had ordered the excavation and construction of many fortifications according to the terrain of the hillside. It can be regarded as a rainy day, ready to fight according to the terrain of Bangshan Hill.
However, when the overwhelming cavalry came like a torrent, this ten-mile mound soon looked like a lonely boat submerged by the vast sea. Appears extremely vulnerable, and seems to be unable to withstand the opponent's attack at all.
Wanyan Agu did not take it lightly, and his actions were cautious and careful. After all, he was the one who suffered a big loss in the hands of Lin Jue, and he knew that the firearms in the other party's hands were fierce. When he led the cavalry to the bottom of the hill, he saw that the opponent's camp under the hill had been completely dismantled. After seeing the slopes up and down the hill, the soldiers and horses of the Falling Goose Army in the shade of grass and trees, and the military flags fluttering on the high tower above, he understood the other party's intentions.
"Hehehehe, my good brother-in-law, what a guts. I thought you'd flee east with your army at once. But I didn't expect you to think about fighting us to the death. Admire, admire very much. I haven't admired anyone yet, but my courage is so admirable. I thought that only I could do this kind of thing, but when Yelu Zongyuan surrounded and suppressed my Jurchen soldiers and horses, I was trapped on a small hill by his army again. He thought I would escape, but I didn't flee, so I fought with him for three days and three nights, and his soldiers and horses were killed and wounded heavily, and finally I broke through and left. Hehe, Lin Jue, don't you want to learn from me too? It's a pity, you're bold enough, but you're stupid enough, you're killing yourself. Are you me or you? Do you think I am the leader of the Yelu sect? Hahaha, that's impossible. Wanyan Agu Dace Ma stood at the foot of the hill, stroking his full jaw and yellow beard and sneering.
"Great Chief, what are we going to do? Direct attack? Yaru asked without spending time.
"Don't worry, it's getting dark, and it's not good for my cavalry to attack. Besides, the infantry has not yet arrived, and there is no discussion with Lu Zhongtian. If you want to attack, you have to go on tomorrow. On my command, the army encamped on the spot. Brother Yalu Buhua, I order you to lead 30,000 cavalry from the north to the east after dark, and to patrol and monitor their belly and back. Your mission is to monitor their movements and prevent them from escaping overnight. Lin Jue is scheming, God knows if he deliberately put on a posture of fighting to the death, and then played the golden cicada out of his shell. Also, as soon as the frontal battle begins tomorrow, you will lead your troops to attack the belly and back. Their attention is on us, and they must defend themselves against our attack on the west, and you have the opportunity to make a surprise attack. Brother Yalu Buhua, I'm afraid you will have to make a great contribution in this battle. Wanyan Agu said with a laugh.
Yalu didn't take the time to make a loud promise, and his heart was happy. I can finally wash away the shame of fighting with the Falling Goose Army before. The first time in front of the large military camp, he had to watch the cavalry of the Luoyan Army rob people and kill people and then retreat, for which he was blamed. During the Second World War, the cavalry led by him suffered heavy casualties from firearms and formations, and he couldn't use all his strength, not to mention how uncomfortable he was. And this time, he must be ashamed and must raise his eyebrows.
