87. The death of Li Yin
Closer, closer, closer!
Lin Cang led tens of thousands of troops straight to Jinling, and Li Yin, who was standing on the city wall, saw Lin Cang from a distance, and so did Lin Cang.
A few feet away from the city gate, Lin Cang rode on his horse and shouted: "Stop!" ”
Suddenly, the tens of thousands of troops that were marching stopped all of a sudden, neatly and mightily, and the order was forbidden, so that Li Yin, who was standing at the head of the city, had to praise, "It's really an elite!" ”
One of the two rode on a horse, and the other stood on the city wall, looking at each other silently, and after a long time, Lin Cang spoke: "Li Yin, you must already know, Your Majesty has removed you from the post of Jiangnan Jiedu envoy, and I will take over instead, how about it?" Lin Cang said flatly.
Li Yin listened, but he didn't answer, he only laughed, but there was a desolation in this laughter, and after a long time, he said: "Brother Lin, don't come unharmed, don't go through the years, Brother Lin is okay?" ”
"Hmph, I'm so good! But you will not be good immediately, you Li Yin, you are the shame of the warriors of the Northland, the scum of the Great Cadre Army, I Lin Cang have fought all my life, I am ashamed to be an official in the same dynasty, if it were not for Your Majesty's order, I would never see you again in this life! Lin Cang said with some hatred that iron is not made of steel, and his tone was extremely sarcastic and sarcastic, which made people tremble when they heard it.
And Li Tong, who was on Lin Cang's side, listened to Lin Cang's words, but he was frightened, but he was ready to order the army and prepare to be on guard, how could this General Lin nakedly accuse this Li Yin, and what unexpected things would happen.
And Li Yin listened to Lin Cang's words, but he was not angry, but smiled heartily, and said in a happy tone: "Brother Lin is still so jealous and hateful, but it is a rare true temperament for a lifetime, I Li Yin is also content with you all my life, I am ecstatic to see the old man today!" Li Yin said to Lin Cang with a smile.
Li Tong listened to Li Yin's words, and immediately let go of his hanging heart, these two people turned out to be old acquaintances, so they no longer had any movements, just quietly listened to their next words.
But Li Yin smiled and said, "Brother Lin! To be honest, I'm at this point, and I regret it a little! But so what? But as a human being, what kind of cause there is, what kind of effect, I made that choice at the beginning, and I have to bear such consequences today! ”
"I have already been mentally prepared for this now, but when I heard that Brother Lin came from the capital to take over my position, I was relieved, and I had already prepared everything."
Li Yin saw that Lin Cang on the horse looked a little speechless and stopped, and didn't care about him, so he said to himself: "In a blink of an eye, it has been nearly ten years, I have been a Jiangnan festival envoy in this Jiangnan for nearly ten years, delicacies, gold and silver fields, beautiful maids and mansions, these glory and wealth are countless, but I don't feel so excited, the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River is still not as fierce as the north after all!" ”
"I regret it, I'm homesick!" The last sentence Li Yin almost shouted, his eyes were red, and he was emotional!
And Lin Cang, who was sitting on the horse, listened to Li Yin's words, and his heart was full of emotion, and he felt that Li Yin's words seemed to explain the future.
As for Li Yin, he calmed down his tone for a while, and then said: "Brother Lin, fellowship with you is the happiest thing in my life, and Brother Lin is my lifelong friend!" ”
"This matter of Jinling City, after all, there must be an explanation, and I will not make it difficult for you, at this time, I only hope you can forgive me! This is my last request! ”
After speaking, he looked up to the sky and shouted: "Great cadres, go to the national disaster together!" Blood will not be shed, death will not be truce! ”
"I wish to be a martial artist in the next life!"
After speaking, he took out his portable sword, and under the surprise of the guards, he put it on his neck and pulled it, and immediately blood fell from the air and spilled it on the ground, and all of a sudden Li Yin's huge body smashed heavily on the city wall. It's just that there is still a smile on his face, a smile of relief!
And Li Yin's guards, who belonged to his private soldiers, saw this, and immediately knelt down around Li Yin's corpse, knelt down three times, got up one after another, drew their swords at any time, and killed themselves one after another!
This is a kind of cultural etiquette system owned by the Northland, which is very popular in the Northland under the influence of the culture of "the lord humiliates the minister and dies" during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. And these guards are Li Yin's private soldiers, and they are lost when they are lost, and they usually receive Li Yin's great favor, and it is difficult to repay them, so when Li Yin died, they followed them silently!
And under the city, Lin Cang, who was riding on a horse, saw Li Yin's scene, his eyes were suddenly red, and a heartache tear flowed from the corner of his eye, but he said silently in his heart: "Xiao Yin!" I forgive you, go all the way! ”
Suddenly, Lin Cang rode on a horse, drew his sword and pointed it directly at the sky, and shouted loudly with all his strength: "Great work, go to the national disaster together!" Blood will not be shed, death will not be truce! ”
Suddenly, the soldiers on the city wall and the soldiers under the city also drew their weapons one after another, pointed directly at the sky, and also responded loudly: "Great work, go to the national disaster together!" Blood will not be shed, death will not be truce......"
Inside and outside the city of Jinling, this ancient military song suddenly sounded, this song is not beautiful, but the soldiers' response is magnificent, neat and powerful, revealing a heroic feeling on the battlefield, revealing a sense of death!
This voice shook the heavens and the earth, this is a recognition of Li Yin's bravery, even if he was only brave, but a soldier is like this, merit is merit, merit is merit, this is the last interpretation of the dead Li Yin, and it is also the last farewell to Li Yin!
And Li Tong under the head of the city, watching the heinous Li Yin kill himself in front of everyone, listening to Li Yin's last oath, looking at the guards who committed suicide after Li Yin, Ying and this ancient military song, he had a new understanding of the Daqian army and the warriors of the Daqian North!
This is a kind of spirit, a fearless spirit, the courage is engraved in the bones, heavy commitment, light life and death, rather than bend, impassioned, this is the best portrayal of the Northland warriors!
Even though Li Tong's heart was still full of disgust for Li Yin at this moment, a sense of admiration still rose in his heart for Li Yin. admire his bravery on the battlefield, admire his dedication to friendship, admire the oath he shouted at the end of his life, and admire his fearlessness of life and death!
Li Tong felt that today's scene, tens of thousands of people singing military songs in unison, and holding a special funeral were the best spur for him. This is the last glory of a soldier, even if this is a heinous soldier, but the army still leaves his bravery and still witnesses his legend!
A person's life, whether it is obscure or vigorous, but the geese have left a voice, and the people have left a name, they must always leave their own stories and legends!
At this moment, Li Tong said to himself silently in his heart.
At this time, Lin Cang, sitting on the horse, seemed to be a little older all of a sudden, his eyes were red, he looked at the place where Li Yin fell on the city wall, held the sword in his right hand, pointed to the city gate, and shouted with all his strength: "Enter the city!" ”
After speaking, he slapped the horse's buttocks with the back of his sword, and suddenly the horse was in pain, neighed, and carried Lin Cangfei into Jinling City, and the other cavalry also quickly followed, and the whole army also walked into this ancient Jinling City with neat steps.
And Lin Cang, who entered Jinling City, was surrounded by all the armor soldiers, and soon arrived at the city wall where Li Yin's body was.
Seeing Li Yin's corpse, Lin Cang bent down, hugged Li Yin's corpse, and carefully looked at Li Yin's still smiling face, and for a while, his heart was extremely complicated, and after a long time, he said to himself: "Xiao Yin, I shouldn't have let you come to Jiangnan back then, but it's a pity that you are too competitive!" ”
After a long time, he put down Li Yin's body, stood up, and said to the left and right warriors: "Find a good coffin and put him up, and wait for the order of the court!" ”
"As for these samurai who committed suicide, they are all warriors of Daqian, and they deserve to be respected, so bury them well!"
"No!" The samurai on the left and right quickly responded, so let's go down and prepare quickly!
After thinking for a while, Lin Cang opened his mouth again: "Pass on the general's order, all the Jinling garrisons will immediately return to the Jiangnan garrison camp, and they are not allowed to enter and leave the barracks without an order, and those who violate military law will be engaged!" Lin Cang said heavily.
"No!" Two more samurai were on order.
At this time, Lin Cang said again: "Pass on the general's order, let Li Tong, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, lead 5,000 troops, immediately take over the defense of Jinling City, and press the ground of Jinling. ”
"No!" Two more paramurai were dispatched.
After a while, Li Yin's body was carried down from the city.
As for Lin Cang, he was standing on the head of Jinling City, facing the direction of Yanjing City, looking into the distance, looking at Yanjing, motionless, letting the autumn wind in the south of the Yangtze River blow his face, and suddenly he was full of thoughts, silently thinking about the problems he would encounter next.
At this time, a soldier ran towards Lin Cang, a foot away, the soldier knelt down on one knee, saluted Lin Cang, and reported: "See the Lord Jiedu Envoy, Jinling County Shou Xu Qian, County Cheng Wang Lin, County Lieutenant Cao Jin and others ask to see the Lord together!" ”
"Get up! Go and say to them, "No! Lin Cang listened to the words of this armor soldier, and spoke.
Then he said: "If they ask why I don't see them, you will say that the court already knows about Jinling, so they sent the general to Jinling, and say that you Jinling officials, the court is very disappointed, and your fate and loss of office are light, and you will be robbed of your family and exterminated!" You just go and say so, go! ”
When the armor man heard this, he replied with a little weakness: "No." He turned around and left, but he was thinking in his heart, we only left the capital on the morning of the 20th and came to Jinling, and our purpose is not like what the Jiedu envoy just said?
But it was not easy to ask, so I went down to reply.
Obviously, Lin Cang's words, because of Li Yin's suicide, were a little angry in his heart, and he was a little angry with the magistrate of Jinling, so he said such angry words.
But what I didn't expect was that Xu Qian, the county guard of Jinling, Wang Lin, and Cao Jin, the county lieutenant, committed suicide after they went back, which caught Lin Cang off guard!
