Before Lin Xiu could speak, Huang Qi also stepped forward to respond. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Du Wei, what Zhao Yingwei said is right, the barbarians are like locusts, they have already swept the northern border, I really don't expect those officials to open a warehouse and release grain, let's fight so far, isn't it just for a way to live? Now that the cold winter is coming, we must think about the life of our loved ones... Don't end up with anything in the city... But his own family starved to death because they had nothing to eat..."
As he spoke, Lin Huaiping and the other light cavalry brothers gathered around, and from their eyes, Lin Xiu obviously sensed their approval of Zhao Yuan.
Looking at the pair of expectant and resolute Mouzi, Lin Xiu's heart was very congested, like a stick stirring in his heart, although the brothers' actions were contrary to the righteousness in his heart, but what the brothers said was not wrong. Official.. Commoners... After all, the official family is a mountain in front of the people...
In thought, when the appearance of his father and mother unintentionally appeared in front of him, Lin Xiu was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath, did not say anything, turned around and rode his horse, and ran towards Lincheng, Bian Hong sighed, and hurriedly chased after his own soldiers.
At this point, after Zhao Yuan, Huang Qi, Lin Huaiping, and Lin Sheng glanced at each other, Lin Sheng said coldly: "What are you guys still looking at each other stupidly?" Lin Xiu didn't say anything, but agreed, and quickly found a place to bury these grains, dried meat, and money, and then came back to find them later, so as not to cause other incidents! ”
Lincheng County Guard.
Yao Qisheng's face was flushed, his temperament leaped greatly, and when he heard Ma Quan's words that the barbarian was defeated in one fell swoop by the light cavalry who came to help him on the way to retreat, and killed thousands of enemies, Yao Qisheng was even more shocked and laughed.
In this way, Ma Quan knelt on the ground and clenched his fists, and shouted in a hard voice: "My lord, the last general will rush to kill with the captain of Lin Duwei and his party, just in front of Wangyang Slope, Lin Duwei will play more than 2,000 light cavalry brothers like thousands of troops and horses, and the power is shocking, and he forced more than 10,000 barbarians to fall into the sea of fire. ”
"Well... Good... Well...."
A series of three good words made Yao Qisheng laugh and shake his sleeves, it seemed that it was himself who forced the more than 10,000 barbarians to death.
"I want to be a boy in the north, brave and resolute, famous in the world, this crisis in the city, once again solved by the juniors in the palm of the hand, really the heavens are in the city, the heavens are in the north, I want to report to the capital, for my northland boys to ask for credit... That's right..."
Speaking of temperament, Yao Qisheng suddenly changed his voice and asked urgently: "Ma Quan, the captain of Fang Cai is your county school acquaintance, how can you say this?" ”
"Lord Hui, this Lin Duwei was originally a native of Lincheng and Linshui, surnamed Lin Mingxiu Zhongyi, three years ago, I participated in the county examination of 28 counties in the four cities of the north with him, and he was the top champion at that time, and later entered the Licheng Academy, and then it was not clear..."
"Lin Zhongyi... This name of the county guard seems to have heard of ..."Yao Qisheng Meiyu has changed several times: "The county guard remembered that he was a talented man under the rule of Chen Yu in Linshui County, and at that time, the county magistrate also asked the county guard to comment on this son and enter the Kaolicheng Academy!" ”
"Exactly!" Ma Quan responded.
Listening to the conversation in the hall, Ma Zhong, who was sitting on the side, couldn't stand the fact that his son had knelt down on the ground since he entered the mansion, so he got up and said: "My lord, now the crisis in the city has been solved, this Lin Duwei belongs to the vanguard camp of Emperor Xiaowu, I should open the city gate and reward the army for him, otherwise let the generals of Emperor Xiaowu know, and think that I am in the city and neglect them!" ”
"That's what Toji said!" Yao Qisheng waved his hand and retreated from Ma Quan, and Ma Quan got up and moved his numb legs slightly. Yao Qisheng hurriedly came to Jiang Gan and ordered: "Reward big things, you will handle it, don't be stingy, you must not chill the hearts of my children in Lincheng!" ”
"The last general commands!"
Leaving the county guard's mansion, Ma Zhong and his son went straight back to the house, and the tension and fatigue of months could finally be eliminated today, but Ma Zhong seemed to have something on his mind, he looked around, and saw that there were no idlers and slaves, so he called Ma Quan into the study, and said in a low voice: "Son, how much do you know about Lin Tongzhi!" ”
Ma Quan pondered for a moment and replied: "Wen Neng can write a safe political career, Wu Neng can fight on the battlefield with a sword, he is a rare talent, if I can have half of his talent, our Ma clan will be scattered to the city from the name, Dad, what do you mean by this?" ”
"Son, dad has a saying, you have to memorize it by heart!"
"Follow Daddy's teachings!"
Ma Zhong changed his complexion and said solemnly: "The prince of the world is romantic, the government hall is unpredictable, the county town is private, and Wen Chong is in decline, this is the current situation in Daxia, Lincheng is a small city, the military journey is large, and Jiang Gan's flying cavalry captain from the sixth grade, and his father is now only a seven-grade capital division, but whenever disaster comes, we humble weak generals are all destroyed and scattered, and we will fall down!" ”
Hearing the underlying meaning of Ma Zhong's words, Ma Quan's color changed several times: "Dad, why do you say that?" The heavy snow will fall soon, and the barbarians will definitely evacuate the summer realm within ten days, so how can there be disasters? You... You..."
"Shut up, listen to Dad!"
Ma Zhong stopped Ma Quan: "The world style changes so fast, you are very young and don't understand very much, you can work for your father for a lifetime, how can you not guess one or two?" Now, the barbarian going south is just a wave of water before the tide, the real disaster is still behind, that Xiaowu Emperor formed an army before the war, which means that His Majesty is pro-army, this time he has already fought for fame, how noble his status is, you have the same knowledge of the luck, but half a year to become the captain of the pioneer battalion of a battalion, the current you know that after this battle, as long as the merit reaches the front of the middle palace, it will definitely be prestige in the north, although there is no grade and no rank now, but once the merit is awarded, it will never be lower than Jiang Gan's level, so he is not a thing in the pool, For the sake of our Ma clan, you have to make friends with them, even if you take 10,000 steps back, for your father to see the wrong path of your acquaintance, you will only have advantages and no disadvantages in befriending him..."
After listening to Ma Zhong's words, Ma Quan was already shocked, he had thought a lot, but he never thought of these, in his eyes, Daxia was as stable as a mountain, where could there be a disaster? But looking at his father's appearance and listening to the heart-piercing words, Ma Quan only felt a cool breeze on his back, which made people unstable...
At night, Lin Xiu led his troops into Lincheng, but Lincheng was already crowded with people from various counties and towns, and Lin Xiu didn't want to disturb the people with the light cavalry camp, so he thanked Yao Qisheng for his reward.
But Yao Qisheng decided not to follow, and in the end, the two intersected, and he could only place the reward outside the city, and at the moment, the rich family, the gentry and some officials of the county guard in the city were all accompanied, such a scene made Lin Xiu's heart anxious and nervous, and in the light of the fire, Lin Huaiping, Zhao Yuan, Huang Qi and other brothers beside him also had no appearance of killing, and they were still a little tired.
When the glass of wine was full, Yao Qisheng got up again and said in a loud voice: "Everyone in the city, pick up your wine glasses, and then toast and thank the brothers of the Xiaowu Emperor Pioneer Camp!" ”
