Chapter 133: Calculation
Coming out of the palace, Gongzixin's face was gloomy, looking at no one around, Lin Yuyan was not an outsider, Gongzi said: "Yuyan, as you said, our Lin family children can only trust their own families, and the old clan can't be trusted at all!" The royal brother can be regarded as planted in their hands this time......"
Gongzixin immediately saw Lin Yuyan and said, "Thank you Yuyan for breaking the siege for the imperial brother today." ”
Lin Yuyan looked at Gongzixin, and reminded him: "Second Emperor Brother, I still think that this matter may be about the camp roar caused by the cowardice of the children of the old clan, but I am already surprised that the eldest son is willing to go to Lecheng to make a persuasion order, and now he actually wrote to his father, saying that he wanted to recruit civilian volunteers to support the southern border in person, this idea is not like what the eldest brother of the emperor did......"
"Huang Yan, what do you mean...... Gongzi Xin wanted to speak and stopped, and suddenly thought of something, and said to Lin Yuyan: "Huang Yan, I remembered for my brother, do you know that after he left Wancheng, he gave the grain from the sale of the house to Yu Yuan." ”
"Brother Three Emperors?! …… Did the Third Emperor Brother accept any food? ”
Childe nodded.
Lin Yuyan asked again: "What do you think of the second emperor brother?" ”
"Don't blame Yu Yuan, now I also know that the border army is short of food, Yu Yuan has always been strong, even if the army has run out of food, he will not trouble me, since the eldest son has a heart, the soldiers under the command of Yu Yuan also have this need, so they naturally want to accept it...... However, in retrospect, it was a ...... to sow discord."
Lin Yuyan nodded and said, "It's good that the second emperor brother can think like this." ”
Immediately, Gongzi Xin said with a gloomy face: "I can't believe that I can do this step with that straw bale, step by step, thinking about him leaving Wancheng, I feel that something is not right......
Gongzixin calmed down now and thought about it, if Lin Yuyan hadn't come over, he would really be [the soldiers were cut off], he had lost the right to control the city defense battalion, and he also had a gap with the old clan, this kind of far-sighted layout, it was really hard to imagine that it could be associated with that straw bag.
Gongzi Xin said slowly: "Yu Yan, now my father has thrown out that I am going to lead the army to the south to support, he just gathered some young people, and the men and horses promised by his father must be the elite of the army, and we have lost the opportunity in this battle." ”
Lin Yuyan nodded, whether it was the city defense battalion that had been rusted and emptied by the old clan under the control of the second emperor brother, or the Wuyang army, which had been established for less than a year under his own control, perhaps in terms of the quality of the troops, it was definitely not comparable to the elite division allocated to Lin Yuren by his father.
"What are you going to do with the Second Emperor Brother?" Lin Yuyan asked.
Gongzi Xin thought for a while, and then said: "The most important thing now is whether the city defense battalion can reach the establishment of 3,000 troops. ”
Lin Yuyan also reached out and said: "Second Emperor Brother, if there is a shortage of manpower, just open your mouth, and the Imperial Brother can be transferred from Shanglin Yuan." ”
Hearing this, Gongzi Xin looked at Lin Yuyan, sighed and said: "Yuyan, why doesn't my brother know about the embarrassment of Shanglin Yuan, the new mansion has just been built, and my brother is still worried that your 3,000 people will not be complete!" ”
Originally, Lin Yuyan still wanted to tell the truth to the second emperor brother, but after thinking about it, the news of Shanglin Yuan had not been synchronized to Wancheng for a long time, which might not be a good thing, so he gave up.
Then he said some more words, and when he reached the fork in the road, Gongzi Xin said goodbye: "Yuyan, today's kindness, the imperial brother has written it down, but now it is less than three months before the army is dispatched, you and I should prepare earlier, so as not to fall behind step by step, step by step......"
Looking at the back of the second emperor brother turning away, Lin Yuyan turned around, swept around, and found that there was no figure, for some reason, after coming out of the palace, Lin Yuyan could always feel a feeling of being spied on.
At this time, Jing Yi and other Zongwei, who were waiting outside, had already rushed over: "Your Highness, how is it?" ”
Lin Yuyan turned around and said, "It's okay." ”
……
The residence of the fifth son of the emperor.
Lin Yuxing took the information from the gray sparrow, and after glancing at it, he suddenly coughed violently.
The maid next to him should have stroked his back and asked, "Your Highness, but the situation has changed?" ”
Lin Yuxing pointed to a cup of tea on the table, and the maid fed Lin Yuxing, which suppressed the meaning of coughing.
"It's a failure!" Lin Yuxing spit out these four words.
The maid also didn't expect that such a careful layout of His Royal Highness would actually fall short?
Lin Yuyan...... Ahem...... It seems that I really underestimated this sixth brother of the emperor. Lin Yuxing said, his eyes fell on the information, and said: "But it's not nothing, at least it separates Gongzixin and the old clan, but I really didn't expect that my father would send the emperor's eldest brother, Gongzixin and the emperor's sixth brother to the south together." ”
The maid frowned and said: "In this way, the plan of [retreating as advance] conceived by His Highness is to break the situation, I am afraid that the eldest son's side will ...... when he receives the news."
Hearing this, Lin Yuxing thought for a moment, and finally spoke: "In this matter, the eldest brother of the emperor has already taken the lead, Gongzixin's city defense battalion, there are gray sparrows, originally I still thought not to fight too hard, but only more than 600 people fled, let the gray finches act again, and make sure that Gongzixin's city defense camp is only left with more than 1,000 people transferred from the border army!" ”
"What about Gongzi Yan's temperance in Shanglin Yuan?" The maid reminded.
"The gray finch is arranged in Wancheng, and its strength is already stretched, so it is on the forest garden...... For the time being, it is beyond the reach of the whip, but the army of Shanglinyuan is only newly built for less than a year, and it is already a taboo to fold the city defense camp of Gongzixin, and then reach out to Shanglinyuan...... cough cough cough ...... Ahem......"
Lin Yuxing's injury was caused by Jin Han's arrow that injured the lung lobe, so he avoided cold and dampness all year round, and often coughed.
The maid's acupoint technique was extremely accurate, but after a few knocks on Lin Yuxing's back, Lin Yuxing's cough eased a lot.
Lin Yuxing leaned against the pillar and said: "You sent someone to persuade the emperor's eldest brother's emotions, even if it is not feasible to [retreat as advance], you have already taken the lead, and said to him, don't wait for the soldiers and horses promised by your father to return to the throne, go to Chaoyang quickly, and contact Guan Ning, the general of the Xinye Army, and ask for the post of grain transporter, and inform him that Chaoyang's location is critical, and it is the central place of the southern border of the imperial court to transport grain, cough cough...... Ahem......"
"Now my father has made a promise to evaluate the East Palace in this battle, but the thieves are powerful, and the eldest brother of the emperor may be difficult to make contributions, but the rising sun is in hand, the advance and retreat are easy, and the work of supervising the grain is to make the eldest brother of the emperor better than the son of the letter without worry......"
"Your Highness is brilliant! I will send someone to deliver the news to the emperor's eldest son. ”
Lin Yuxing nodded, and on the table in front of him, there was a map of the southern border.
On June 22, the 23rd year of Emperor Wu, Emperor Wu issued an edict, ordering Sheng Nong, the general of the Wangcheng Guard, to lead 5,000 elite soldiers, the eldest son Lin Yuren, the son Lin Yuxin, and the sixth son of the emperor Lin Yuyan each with 3,000 deployments, and will send troops to the south after the autumn.
