Chapter 214: The Test of Blood and Fire

On the fourth day, he arrived at Xijing Mansion in Henan, and according to the rules, Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen were going to visit the local chief. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Yang Yan smiled and said to Lin Chong, "The Bodhisattva-like temperament, the same temper as the King of Hades, Xijing, the old man, ordinary people can't understand it." ”

Zhang Shangying, who stayed behind in Xijing, from opposing Buddhism since childhood to finally advocating the unity of the three religions, from befriending Cai Jing to fighting each other, refuting Yang Jian's promotion to the envoy, exhorting the officials not to be extravagant and wasteful, and finally being suppressed and degraded to Xijing by the restored Cai Jing.

Along the way, it's legendary.

In Lin Chong's eyes, no matter how you look at it, this seventy-year-old man is worthy of respect. Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen specially brought some special products to visit.

Xijing stayed in the house, and the bronze nails of Zhumen were very majestic.

When the official saw the two Wupin Tizhi, he didn't dare to slack off and let him go to the concierge and hurry in to report. Soon, a thin housekeeper in his fifties came, asked the identity of Lin Lu and the others, and politely invited the two to the living room for tea.

Zhang Lao used to be a dignified minister, even if he was relegated to Xijing, he was also a member of the three grades, except for the large style of the left-behind mansion built by the imperial court, and the interior furnishings were simple to the extreme.

Lu Zhishen entered the mansion and looked at it, quite surprised. If you hadn't heard of his experience, I really thought it was a person who sold his reputation and reputation.

After a short time, an old man in a white-faced purple shirt came slowly. Seeing that his bearing was extraordinary, Lin Lu knew that it was Zhang Shangying and Master Zhang who stayed in Xijing.

The two stepped forward and said, "Elder Zhang, junior Lin Chong, junior Luda, were ordered to go to the border pass, pass through here, and come to visit." ”

Zhang Shangying was handsome when he was young, and he was also very good when he was old, with a white beard and hair, like a platinum star. The three of them just greeted each other at first, Zhang Shangying was not only talkative, but also witty and witty, and Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen hated to meet each other late. came and went, and they talked for almost half an hour.

Through some conversation, Zhang Shangying knew that although the two were both skilled generals, there were also differences, Lin Chong was wise and steady, and Luda was bold by nature. The two brothers started from scratch and worked together to build thousands of elite troops, which they also greatly admired.

"Lin Chong Luda, it is rare that the two of you have won the grace of the saint, and you are also strong and strong, as long as you can complement each other, you will definitely make contributions to the northwest. The grain and grass in Xijing have already been arranged, so just rest assured. The old man wishes the two of them in advance: success and triumphant! ”

Lin Chong knew that there were many affairs in the Xijing Left-behind Division, and Zhang Shangying was more than seventy years old and had limited energy, so he talked for a full hour this time, which was enough to prove that Zhang Shangying attached great importance to the two brothers, so he got up and said goodbye.

At this time, a tattered school official stumbled in, and shouted breathlessly, "Zhang, Master Zhang, there are bandits, bandits!" ”

Banditry! Zhang Shangying's complexion changed, and there were bandits under his rule, and he was reprimanded by the imperial court at the least, and exterminated his family at the worst. But years of experience have given him composure.

"What's the panic, you say slowly, where is the trouble? How much do you want? Why? ”

The school officer also took a few breaths before he came to his senses, and when he saw Lin Chong Luda's two strangers, he knew that it was not good, this troublesome thing should not be publicized, but he was shouting all over the house without knowing the reason, and he was causing trouble to the boss. I hesitated for a while, and I didn't know how to turn around.

Zhang Shangying saw that he glanced directly at Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen, and after a little thought, he knew his concerns, so he said, "These two are Lord Lin and Lu Ti of the Imperial Mountain Army, and the truth of the bandits does not need to be concealed, just talk about it." ”

Only then did the school official explain the cause and effect of the incident, and he was responsible for escorting the old and young Zhang Fuyi from Tokyo to join their relatives. At first, everything went smoothly, but it didn't come to pass, but yesterday in Yanjueling, Mengzhou, 50 miles northeast of Xijing Prefecture, a large group of bandits of tens of thousands of people blocked the roads and rivers, so that seven or eight forbidden soldiers and more than 20 people of the Zhang family all fell into the hands of the bandits.

I escaped by chance, and when I inquired again, I learned that Liu Jing, the governor of Mengzhou, wantonly looted the township in order to purchase Cai Jing's birthday gang, and stimulated a large number of popular uprisings in Mengzhou, which was already struggling with the people.

As far as the school officials know, more than 10,000 people have gathered around the Yanjue Ridge alone, and there are more than a dozen large and small rebels in other places to loot everywhere, and in the face of tens of thousands of rebels, the situation in Mengzhou is as dangerous as an egg.

Seeing that one person was useless, the school officer hurriedly came back to Zhang Shangying to report for help. First, it is necessary to rescue the Zhang family as soon as possible, and secondly, Mengzhou is close at hand, once the chaotic people gather, they will inevitably point the finger at Xijing, and it is urgent to wait with water and fire.

Upon learning of the details, Zhang Shangying immediately convened the civil and military officials of Xijing to discuss countermeasures. At the same time, he also implored Lin Chong Luda to stay and help suppress the bandits.

Lu Zhi was deeply aware of the tragedy of the chaos of the people, and immediately expressed his full support for Zhang Lao's rebellion, Lin Chong calculated the itinerary and said that he could support it, but he could only spare two days to suppress the chaos people, the time was very tight, and he hoped that Zhang Lao would make a decision as soon as possible.

Zhang Shangying did not hesitate at all, and asked the Wild Wolf Army to first conquer the Yanjue Ridge between Mengzhou and Xijing, and then take advantage of the situation to exterminate several large groups of rebels to quell the crisis.

In his view, the first priority is to prevent the rioters from storming Xijing, and if the rioters are allowed to run rampant, Xijing may be paralyzed. If Xijing, as the arch guard of Sanjing, caused a rebellion, no one could guarantee that Zhao Ji would not cut off a large number of heads.

The second is to hope that Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen will show their might and rescue Zhang's family as much as possible. Although Zhang Shangying himself knows that there will be no good results among the chaotic people, he still hopes for what happens.

Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen didn't say a word, and returned to the temporary camp with Zhang Shangying's warrant.

Facing the two thousand soldiers of the Wild Wolf Army who had gathered, Lin Chong only said one word.

"The state provides for you, you have also received a month of training, and from now on, you will face the test of blood and fire!"

In the first order, the monkey took the scouts to Yanjuling and various places in Mengzhou to find out and monitor the movements and numbers of the rebels, and provide intelligence for the follow-up troops.

The second order, Lin Chong and Hu Wen took the special operations team to go deep into the Yanjue Ridge to try to rescue Zhang Shangying's family, and it would be good if they could take the opportunity to carry out beheading.

The third order, Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi, Li Jun and others led a large group of men and horses to surround Yanjueling to prevent the bandits from spreading to Xijing and defeat the bandits.

The scholar was responsible for the scheduling and coordination of the camp and the logistics transportation team, while Sun Erniang led nearly 100 female soldiers to ensure the safety of the transportation line.

At the sound of an order, the three armies were mobilized, and unlike other armies, the various units of the Wild Wolf Army ignited in an instant. In the entire barracks, the sound of war horses, division numbers, passwords, and vehicles sounded all over the place, and within a quarter of an hour, all battalions, capitals, and teams had completed preparations for attack.

The Wild Wolf Camp opened its big mouth in Xijing Mansion, Henan, revealing its sharp fangs.
