Guo Kan walked out slowly, Qin Zhao and Zhuge Liang followed, Guo Kan looked back at the two, "There is almost no soldier in Chuxian County now, and I have to rush back quickly in case something changes." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Dongcheng still has to rely on two garrisons, these seven or eight thousand soldiers can temporarily let them help repair the city defenses, and then let Master Chen send people to send them to Xiapi to slowly subdue and reorganize. Farewell, two! ”

"Congratulations to the Governor!"

Soldiers, you are fast! After Guo Kan's army rested for a while, he rushed to Chuxian County without stopping, and this battle only lasted for half a day, and when Guo Kan returned to Chuxian, it was as if the army had just conducted a regular training.

After Lin Chong broke out of the encirclement, he gathered the remnants of the defeated army, and there were less than 10,000 people, and the army was low in momentum and had no will to fight. Lin Chong ordered to set up camp and the army rested on the spot. At this moment, a light rain suddenly fell in the sky, and after a few thunderstorms, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the army took shelter from the rain in the makeshift tents.

At this time, a big man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, bearded beard, holding a harpoon in his left hand, a jar in his right hand, and a hat on his shoulder, walked towards the barracks.

"Communicate with me about General Lin, and say that an old friend is visiting."

After he settled Lin Chong's wife Zhang, he came to the vicinity of Dongcheng and paid attention to the battle between the two sides every day, until today Lin Chong's army was trapped and fled to this point, he came to see Lin Chong again.

When the two saw each other, they were speechless for a while, and Lin Chong just sighed heavily.

In the end, Luda still put down his shelf and persuaded him earnestly: "Brother, I was expecting to make up for the crime of killing Yuan Zhen with military merits before, but God didn't help you, this time I was defeated, how could Yuan Yin spare you?" Why don't you resign and vote elsewhere with me! ”

Lin Chong shook his head, "The eldest husband was born in the world, and he does not seek to stand up to the sky and the earth, but to be worthy of his heart." Your Majesty has not treated me badly, so how can I forsake him? Everyone has their own aspirations, brother, please don't say more! ”

At this time, Luda had nothing to say, and Lin Chong's words made him unable to say many of the words he had thought of. Even if Lin Chong knew how difficult and dangerous the road ahead was, and knew that he might face death, he would not give up, it was his own persistence, what good would it be to say more?

Luda nodded, opened the jar in his hand, handed it to Lin Chong, and then said in a deep voice: "Brother, come, let's drink again, this time after drinking, I don't know if there will be a chance in the future." ”

Lin Chong sighed, took the wine jar, hugged it with both hands, and sent it to his mouth, "Goo Dong Goo Dong", drank a few big sips, and then handed it back to Luda, "Brother, please!" ”

Ruda laughed and praised loudly: "Heroic! After Luda drank the rest of the wine, he threw the wine jar to the ground and hugged his fist at Lin Chong, "Brother, take care!" ”

Lin Chong also returned the salute with his fists, and his tone was heavy, "Brother, take care!" Also, please help me take care of my clumsy thorns! ”

Ruda nodded, then turned around and left without looking back.

The news of Lin Chong's defeat finally reached Shouchun, and for a while Shouchun was full of discussions. Lin Chong led the remnants of the defeated army back to the court and pleaded guilty to Yuan Shu.

Lin Chong explained how to propose to divide troops to attack Dongcheng, how to lure the enemy to come to help, and how to be attacked by Guo Kan and Qin Zhao inside and outside, Yuan Shu was furious after hearing this, and yelled at Lin Chong: "Why did you decide to divide your troops in Dongcheng without authorization? My army of 40,000 actually let you give me all the ruin, Lin Chong, Lin Chong, you are guilty! ”

Lin Chong knelt on the ground and sighed, "Sin will only ask for one death!" ”

"Okay, good, come on, drag Lin Chong out and report it."

As soon as Yuan Shu finished speaking, a person flashed out of the ministers and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty will keep people under the sword!" ”

Everyone saw that it was Zhang Xun, the captain canonized by Yuan Shu.

"What does the Captain have to say?"

"General Lin was not at fault, he killed more than 3,000 people of Wu Ming's strongest peerless army in the first battle, which was the first big victory since His Majesty and Wu Ming competed. Moreover, the original general and General Lin made an appointment to attack Guo Kan together, but the general could not reinforce in time, and the general also had the responsibility to recall the general in this battle and ask him to clarify the reason, so as to convince people. ”

Yuan Shu had just been stunned by anger, and he was about to execute Lin Chong, and now hearing Zhang Xun say this, Yuan Shu felt that it made a lot of sense, and couldn't help but hesitate.

At this time, suddenly another person stood up and said to Yuan Shu: "Your Majesty! Lin Chong insisted on going his own way, divided his troops to fight, and committed the taboo of soldiers, and his crime should be punished! Wei Chen didn't know anyone at the beginning, and recommended Lin Chong, and the minister was willing to be guilty of the same crime with him, please ask Your Majesty to punish the crime! ”

This person is Yuan Yin, who recommended Lin Chong as the pioneer general, Yuan Yin, the father of Yuan Zhen who was killed by Luda three punches, is a great Sima, and has a lot of connections in Yuan Shu's Shouchun court.

When Yuan Shu heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand, "Da Sima Xiu wants to joke!" Even if Lin Chong is guilty, Da Sima doesn't know anyone, so he shouldn't be guilty. Wait for the general to come back, and then discuss how to punish the guilt. ”

"I beg Your Majesty to give Lin Chong a death immediately!"

Yuan Yin played again, with a tough attitude, so that everyone in the court did not know why, and Yuan Shu was also confused.

Zhang Xun sneered and asked, "What does Da Sima mean by this?" ”

"Lin Chong is the vanguard general who His Majesty accepted his fate, and now he has lost more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and he will be punished by military law, and the crime cannot be punished! I wonder what the captain thinks? ”

Zhang Xun walked towards Yuan Yin and smiled, "Da Sima, Your Majesty has already said that when the general comes back, he will be convicted again, why is Da Sima so urgent?" Could it be that His Majesty's words are not clear enough? ”

Yuan Yin also did not let it go at all, "Those who are kings should be rewarded for their merits, and those who are guilty will be punished, and the way of reward and punishment must not be ignored." Today, Lin Chong's sin should be punished, and His Majesty is merciful, but we as ministers cannot always follow Your Majesty's wishes and be a flattering villain. ”

"Haha, that's right, Yuan Sima, you want to put Lin Chong to death now, it's not because your youngest son Yuan Zhen didn't succeed in despising General Lin Chong's wife, but was killed by the rangers. You are resentful, and you completely sprinkle your anger on General Lin, what is the reason for this? ”

"Zhang Xun, you dare to spew blood, you defend Lin Chong like this, don't you take Lin Chong any benefits?"

"Yuan Yin, what is your intention to declare a personal vendetta and want to destroy the pillars of the country?"

Yuan Shu couldn't help but have a headache when he heard the two arguing, he slammed the table and shouted, "Calm me down!" ”

For a while, Yuan Yin and Zhang Xun stopped talking, and looking at the angry Yuan Shu, they both consciously retreated to their positions.

"No matter what grievances you have, first put Lin Chong in the heavenly prison, and wait for the general to come back before making a decision. If there is anyone who dares to speak, I will kill him first. After Yuan Shu said a cruel word, he left the court.

Yuan Yin looked at Zhang Xun, then at Lin Chong who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "I want to see who can protect you!" After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Zhang Xun walked over, helped Lin Chong up, and sighed, "General Lin, the world is cold and warm, and it is like this." There are some things that Your Majesty can't tell the difference between black and white. General Lin must remember to be cautious these days, I am afraid that Yuan Yin will do something to you in the prison. ”
