Yicheng, the General's Palace.

"Xiaohu, Zhou Ping won't have an accident there, he can't deal with that team of robbers. A middle-aged man sat at the top of the hall and said.

"Father, rest assured, the identity of the robbers is just a cover-up, their target is not the passing caravan and the border armies of the two countries, and the eldest brother only needs to stand still and there will be no accidents. Zhou Rong saluted below.

The middle-aged man on the first seat was naturally Zhou Quan, the general of Zhao State, and unlike Xu An thought, it was not this general who went to the border, but his eldest son Zhou Ping and younger son Zhou Yang.

"Well, those old guys say that the two of them have no military merits and can't be canonized, I want to see what excuses they can make this time! I'm going to tell those people that my two sons are better than their old things!" Zhou Quan said as he slapped the table.

"The courtiers are all afraid of the robbers, for fear of accidentally provoking the big man in Beichang, this time the eldest brother took the initiative to go to the border, if he successfully solved this problem, he would naturally be able to block the mouth of Youyou. ”

"Will it attract revenge in the future? We really can't afford to provoke the big men of the Beichang Empire. Zhou Quan asked with some concern.

"My father was too worried, and he designed to stop and kill King Hui'an, even the big people didn't dare to admit this crime, no matter whether they succeeded or failed in this interception, no one would stand up, so don't worry about it at all. ”

"King Hui'an, what King Hui'an?"

"Xu Shi'an. ”

"Well, that monk is here to do a family business?" Zhou Quan asked.

"Exactly, I wonder what my father can command?"

"Master Wusheng... I haven't heard of this person, but since he is a high monk, he can't refuse to take the initiative to come and say goodbye, so he will agree first. ”

"It's up to my father. ”

Zhao border, inside the camp.

"Zhou Gongzi, I wonder if the general has any other orders?" asked a man who looked like a general standing in the tent.

"Your Excellency, just let you listen to me. Zhou Ping looked at the sand table in front of him and said.

"Yes. "The general retired.

If you want to say that there is no official or post this week, it is not his turn to give orders, but he can't bear to have a general's father at home, and it is naturally impossible for the border army guards to hand over such a heavy responsibility of guarding the country to a teenager because of a general, but this team of robbers is too troublesome, and everyone is afraid that one will accidentally attract the crazy revenge of a big country. At this time, someone was willing to take the initiative to come over and take over, so it was naturally offered with both hands, and the most important thing was that Zhou Ping came this time through King Zhao's consent.

"Big brother, what do you want to do?" Zhou Yang asked.

"That team of robbers is too strong, if they attack head-on, I'm afraid that the border army will suffer heavy losses, I plan to kill him from the side every day, and after a long time, the group of robbers will definitely be panicked. ”

"Big brother can't, if it's okay a few days before the order, they will definitely be on guard after a long time, beware of the other party setting up an ambush. Zhou Yang said.

"Then what do you say? You can't fight, and you can't harass!" Zhou Ping said angrily patting the sand table.

"The eldest brother is angry, the second brother said, we just need to wait here. ”

"Don't mention him to him! If he hadn't been able to come to this place where birds don't, I'd be surprised, my father really believed him, and the whole city knew that this was a hot potato, but he pushed us into this fire pit, and shrank at home all day to give orders, and this battle must not be fought by you and me?"

"Then what is the big brother going to do?"

"This team of robbers is sandwiched between the two countries, and naturally they also have an errand for their Zhennan Army, a few days ago I have sent a letter to the guards of Wanqiu City, but I have not replied for a long time, wait a few more days. Zhou Ping frowned slightly and said.

"Newspaper. ”

"Enter!" Zhou Ping drank.

"There is your letter. ”

The soldier hurried into the camp, knelt down on one knee, and handed the letter in both hands, which was a bit of an impoliteness to a man who had no official or position.

"Hahaha, say Cao Cao Cao arrived. Zhou Ping laughed twice and said.

"It's... The villain is not surnamed Cao. The soldier returned blankly.

Opening the letter, Zhou Ping looked at the scribbled handwriting on it, and his lips couldn't help twitching, there were only three big characters on the letter, but in Zhou Ping's opinion, those three words were full of mockery.

"Who are you?"

There are only these three words on the letter, and a piece of letter paper is full, and the ink is about to overflow, for fear that I will not be able to see it.

"How can this be reasonable! This Lin Ying is too deceitful!" Zhou Ping slapped the book in his hand on the table and shouted loudly.

"You reply to him! Just say that I am Zhou Ping, the son of the general, and make an appointment with him to gather and launch an attack when the sun rises tomorrow, and we must destroy this group of robbers as soon as possible!" Zhou Ping said angrily.

"Big brother, this Lin Ying is the general of Wanqiu City, commanding the Zhennan Army. You and I have no official positions, so it is most appropriate for this letter to be written by the border army generals. Zhou Yang stepped forward and whispered.

"Well, let's do it. Zhou Pingqiang held back his anger and said.

Although he is the son of a general, he still doesn't dare to be too presumptuous, you must know that this Lin Ying is not worse than him in terms of background or martial arts.

"Big brother, little brother has something unknown. Zhou Yang said with some words in mind.

Say. ”

"What is this Cao Cao?"

......

Wanqiu City.

Wanqiu was a city on the southern border of the Beichang Empire, and there was an army that terrified the Zhao State, the Zhennan Army, stationed in this city. There is also a commander of the Zhennan Army who made the former Dongyi clan talk about it, Lin Ying.

The two countries intersect in a flat position, and it is easy for this cavalry to rush into the Zhao State, but to the south of the Zhao State is the powerful Wuqing Empire, and they will not allow such a thing to happen.

Zhao is a piece of space between the two great powers, as long as Zhao is still there, then everything is negotiable, but if whose army crosses the border, the other side will never sit idly by.

The commander of this army is the only son of Lin Pinggui, the general of the Beichang Empire, Lin Ying.

It is said that this Lin Ying has been a general's tiger who grew up on horseback since he was a child, and followed General Lin all the way to the east and west.

In the ninth year of Taishi, the rebellion in Beichang was everywhere, Dongyi waited for an opportunity to advance to the west in an attempt to incite war, Lin Pinggui, who was only 24 years old, went to the east to rehabilitate, and the people's rebellion was quelled, but there was never a good way to deal with the Dongyi clan who was backed by the mountains.

Three years ago, Chang Wenjun Xu Zhiguo's body was getting weaker and weaker, and this Dongyi clan had always been a thorn in his heart, for fear of rebellion in the future, so he wanted to send someone to recover.

To say that Lin Pinggui has enough experience in fighting against this Dongyi, but at this time, Lin Pinggui is already a general of the Beichang Empire, and he still wants to negotiate peace when he sends a general?

So Chang Wenjun asked Lin Pinggui if he could recommend a candidate.

I saw that Lin Pinggui was making a guarantee in front of all the courtiers at that time.

"I have a son, named Lin Ying. This time I went to Dongyi, if we talk about peace, he is enough, if it is a crusade, he is enough!"

So Lin Ying, who was only twenty-two years old, led an army of 20,000 to Dongyi to negotiate peace, to say that the conditions for this peace negotiation can be described as extremely rich, the army carried a large number of cattle and sheep goods to the east, in order to show a great country style, let them see that Beichang is no longer the Beichang of the ninth year of Taishi, these things are given to you casually, we are not lacking!

But this Lin Ying thought that going to negotiate peace was not a great country, so he distributed all the money, grain and goods to his subordinates halfway through, and sent a letter to Chang Wenjun, which was handed over by Lin Pinggui.

"Outside, the king's order is not subject to it, the minister has listened to his father since he was a child, this Dongyi clan took advantage of the situation to incite the riots in our country, it is really hateful, if you want to talk about peace, it must be they begging me Beichang to talk about peace. ”

The letter has reached this point, and Chang Wenjun Xu Zhiguo is overjoyed, this is the demeanor of a great country! With trembling hands, he helped Lin Pinggui and said: "General Lin has this son, and he can ensure that I have no worries in Beichang!"

Chang Wenjun immediately transferred another 20,000 troops to ensure Lin Ying's safety, but was stopped by Lin Pinggui on the grounds that Lin Ying had disobeyed the military order first, and he was already guilty, so how could he send troops to support again?

Chang Wenjun naturally saw that Lin Pinggui was very optimistic about Lin Ying and thought that he would definitely win, so he no longer insisted, just waiting to see if this Lin Ying was really a general.

Let's say that after Lin Ying shared the goods, he led the army to march for several months, and the morale not only did not decrease in the slightest, but became more and more vigorous, and he came to the mountain range where the Dongyi clan was hiding without saying hello first, and immediately ordered to set fire to the mountain, and the army was stationed in place.

The 22-year-old's favorite thing to do every day is to move a bench out of the tent and sit and watch the wildfires rage and laugh and talk.

The fire burned for several months, and Lin Ying ordered to drive back hundreds of Dongyi people who had come to sue for peace.

The fire blocked the approach, and it was impossible to come out and fight to the death, and the Dongyi clan had no choice but to retreat all the way, but this Lin Ying was still unrelenting, Dongyi retreated one mile, and he led the army to march one and a half miles, pressing step by step, but he never sent troops to attack.

Every day, I can see my relatives around me being burned alive, and the whole Dongyi clan can be said to be panicked and almost collapsed, but in order to survive, they can continue to retreat.

People chase fire, and fire chases people. Finally, there is no way back!

Because behind them is under the Falling Star Cliff, on which there is no grass and is not swept away by the fire, this cliff that is said to have fallen by the death omen star thousands of years ago has become their last pure land.

They will not be burned to death, but this falling star cliff cannot be crossed by even the most flying eagles, and tens of thousands of people finally feel powerless when they come here.

The sound of weeping echoed throughout the valley, and for the first time the tribe that relied on the mountains to feed felt despair, looking beyond the ruins of grass and the abyss that the birds could not cross.

It is not necessary to let the heavens and the earth be unspiritual.

But at this moment, a cavalry came on the ruins of the mountain, the horses were full of edible food, followed by more cavalry, the Dongyi clan saw this army that had cornered them for the first time, and it was ridiculous that they actually came to save themselves?

Feeling the desire to live, no one wanted to take another look at the abyss behind them, to the surprise of the Dongyi clan, the young general did not force himself to sign a series of unequal treaties, but led them to move into the territory of Beichang, a large plain area in the east for them to develop.

It was always too hard to live on the mountains, which was the main reason why they had taken the opportunity to incite the war, in order to occupy this not very fertile plain, but now that they were cornered, they offered to provide that area for themselves to live in?

After entering the territory of Beichang, they became the people of Beichang. Even so, if the name Lin Ying is mentioned in the east, everyone will hear it, and even the surname Lin has been removed from this tribe, and even the mountain range in the east is still in ruins.

That mountain range is a back road for them, with a back road, the Dongyi clan will never be recovered, even if the promised conditions are good, they can't be satisfied, so in Lin Ying's opinion, that mountain range must be burned, not only to burn, but also to burn thoroughly and cleanly.

A year later, Lin Ying returned victoriously and became famous!

After the war, Lin Ying's prestige in the army rose greatly, although some people suspected that this was Lin Pinggui's idea to help his son, but it was just some sour words.

At this time, Lin Ying, who was 23 years old, was one year younger than when Lin Pinggui rehabilitated the riots in the east.

Only Lin Pinggui ordered his son to be beaten by 100 boards on the grounds of disobeying military orders, and agreed to be exempted from the death penalty for the sake of rehabilitation.

Lin Pinggui angrily reprimanded Lin Ying and said, "You can die! But you can't let my Beichang Erlang accompany you to die!"

Everyone felt that the father and son were pretending to be a bitter meat trick, but Chang Wenjun and the military department understood very well that this general was a great person, and the sentence that he would not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarch was applicable to Lin Pinggui, a battle-hardened general who was very good at judging the situation, and it was not applicable to a fledgling general like Lin Ying.

Jiangmen Huzi must lead by example, and Lin Ping is responsible for leading 300 military sticks to his godson.

Counting nine cold winters, Lin Pinggui was lying on a wooden chair, looking at Lin Ying in front of him calmly, and the stick hit him without frowning slightly.

According to Lin Pinggui, if you can't see yourself being beaten, then look at me and remember how these military sticks hit yourself!

Lin Ying couldn't bear it several times and wanted to turn her head, but she was scolded by Lin Pinggui and turned back.

This battle-hardened general, the strongest man of the Beichang Empire, and the patron saint of Beiyang City, when has such an encounter ever occurred? Half-life, Rong Ma has never been so seriously injured as the enemy of the country, but now he has been severely beaten by his own family, and even the most fair and severe executioner can't help but burst into tears when he sees this scene.

In fact, it's not that Lin Pinggui is strict, but that Lin Ying's method is too risky. In Lin Pinggui's view, the most taboo thing as a military general is not to take risks, but to take unnecessary risks.

If the Dongyi clan chose to break out of the siege when they set fire, they still had the strength to fight to the death, but they were defeated because they still had a way to retreat, and they didn't want to fight with Lin Ying to break the net, so they kept retreating, and when they wanted to fight, the fire had already formed, and it was impossible to break through collectively, and the retreat would become their dead end.

The rewarded cattle and sheep can be filled in as little as three months and as much as half a year, but it takes at least 20 years for a soldier to grow.

Chang Wenjun felt that Lin Pinggui was too strict, how could it be said that he was taking a risk to have such a big victory? This is the grasp of people's hearts, timing, terrain, and situation, all of which are indispensable, and he can't help but love this young general even more.

Lin Ying should have been allowed to continue to garrison the east, but Chang Wenjun hesitated again and again, and for the sake of the mood of the Dongyi clan, he still let him command the most important Zhennan army.

Chang Wenjun's original words before his death were: "Wanqiu is the gate of my Beichang, when Wanqiu is broken, it means that my Beichang is in danger, and your father and son can only feel at ease if they have someone there to guard me." ”

has such an achievement at a young age, some people say that it is a tiger father without a dog, some people say that this Lin Ying is more ruthless than Lin Ping's return, and some people say that Lin Pinggui is ruthless to himself, but Lin Ying is ruthless to the enemy.
