Chapter 548: Lingwu (2)

Lin Yong frowned, and his heart suddenly moved, and after the official got the news, he hurriedly led people to the city tower to prepare for the battle, these days, since the official and below, the civil and military officials of Lingwu have not slept a single sleep, and they are restless in their sleep, for fear that the Hui people will attack, and the spirit and martial arts are not guaranteed, you are a friendly ambassador, take care of your princess and the princess, don't you come here to cause chaos for the official? Although you are in a high position in the capital, in the eyes of this official, you are just a Jiangnan boy who made his fortune by luck and flattery to the emperor, and he just ascended to the sky by relying on the emperor's favor. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the wind and flowers and snow moon and the poetry are endowed or you are a strong player, but how can you rely on those of you who only know the sound of the beautiful song and the dance of the wind and the swallow in power?

But Kong Sheng's identity is there after all, Lin Yong is unhappy in his heart, and he can't show it. But the Lingwu generals behind Lin Yong showed more or less on their faces, and some even obviously projected a certain disdainful and irritated gaze.

Kong Sheng turned a blind eye.

What kind of identity is he, how can he be as knowledgeable as some frontier generals? Besides, the purpose of his visit was to find out the movements of the Hui people, and these were all small sections, so there was no need to hold on to them. He is clear about the mentality of these people, but he is too lazy to care. Besides, what can you do if you care? Do you have to compare yourself with them? It's not necessary and it's not interesting.

Lin Yong smiled reluctantly, and pointed to the side of the Qilian Mountains at the far end, where smoke and dust were faintly visible: "Chang'an Hou, this official received a report from Tanma before, and the Hui Khan Mo Yansi gathered 100,000 troops to suddenly open and approach in the direction of Lingwu, and the official was on the front line of Lingwu's defense, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he ordered to lock the city gates on all sides, and the whole city and the whole army were ready to fight the enemy!" ”

Obviously, Lingwu must have his own fine work on the side of the Hui people. There is no doubt that the movements of the Hui people were transmitted back to Lingwu in some secret way at the first time. On the other hand, will there be an eyeliner in this Lingwu City? Hardly.

The two armies are facing each other, and the two countries are facing each other, and there are many things that cannot be seen in the light. In addition to the fighting confrontation on the frontal battlefield, there are many invisible battlefields that have long been slowly unfolded, and may never end.

Kong Sheng stared at the distance and said lightly: "Dadu Governor, Hui Khan has made an appointment with Kong to meet in three days to agree on peace matters, they should not go back on their word and easily violate my border, Dadu Governor don't have to worry." ”

Lin Yong pouted and said: "Chang'an is far away in Chang'an, I don't know, this time the promise of the Hui people is not credible, during this period of time, the Hui army has pressed the border, and we are restless in Lingwu, **** be cautious, and guard against the invasion of the Hui every night." For this official, any abnormal movement of the Hui army cannot be let go, because once the Hui soldiers come to the city and Lingwu falls, the Hui Iron Cavalry will drive straight in, and I am in danger of the Tang Dynasty! ”

Lin Yong arched his hand in the direction of Chang'an as he spoke, and said awe-inspiringly: "This official is trusted by His Majesty's grace and is responsible for the defense of Lingwu, how can he be a vegetarian meal and miss His Majesty's major affairs?" If the Hui people dare to invade the border, our generation of Lingwu soldiers can only swear to serve the country and live and die with Lingwu! If at that time, the two countries officially start a war, please wait for Chang'an to quickly escort Princess Ningguo back to Chang'an! ”

Dozens of generals behind Lin Yong all raised their arms and shouted: "Swear to serve the country to the death, and live and die with Lingwu!" ”

Kong Sheng glanced back at the emotional crowd, and nodded secretly in his heart, these border generals, no matter what their personality and character, but they all have the passion and spirit of swearing to serve the country to the death, and defend the border for the country. But Kong Sheng also knows very well in his heart that these people have been guarding the border all the year round, have a rough personality, and don't care much about some etiquette or anything, so they don't pay attention to a certain contempt for him from everyone.

Kong Sheng bowed to Lin Yong: "The Metropolitan Governor and Lingwu soldiers are loyal to the country, Your Majesty often mentions it in Chang'an, and the government and the opposition have respect. And Kong Mou entered Lingwu this time and guarded the princess of Ningguo to go back to Su and her relatives, which caused a lot of trouble to the governor of the capital, and I thank you here! ”

Kong Sheng said this was a polite remark, but in the ears of Lin Yong and the Lingwu generals, it became Kong Sheng holding the emperor's signboard to talk about things, and his heart said Why are you playing the emperor's banner at every turn? Who to scare? The villain of the fox and the fake tiger! Therefore, the contempt for Kong Sheng in his heart is even more obvious.

"Chang'an is welcome! Princess Ningguo and her relatives returned to Hui, which is the national policy of the Tang Dynasty. This official guards the spirit and should ensure the safety of the princess. But out of Lingwu, it is not within the scope of the official's duty, and the safety of the princess can only rely on Chang'an to wait for herself. The official heard that Chang'an Hou was both civil and military, and this time he brought the Nuo people out of the jam, so there must be no problem. Lin Yong's words were slightly sarcastic.

In fact, for Kong Sheng's friendly team with so many people, such a large scale, and so much wealth to send out of the fortress to the Hui people, the Lingwu soldiers have a lot of complaints. Because the Tang Dynasty is now weak in national strength and the treasury is empty, the food and salary of the border soldiers sometimes have to be delayed, but they must feel uncomfortable watching the huge wealth given to the Hui people.

Kong Sheng closed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and his heart was slightly unhappy.

It was not his original intention to return to the country with relatives. This is the insistence of the emperor and the Tang court, and it has nothing to do with him. Although he served as a peace envoy, this was only a responsibility and a mission, nothing more. For these, how can you, Lin Yong, as a high-ranking official in the feudal town, not understand? On the other hand, if Datang does not agree to make peace, your Lingwu line will instantly become a battlefield of blood and fire, and the first to bear the brunt is the tens of thousands of Lingwu soldiers...... It's just that ordinary generals don't understand, you Lin Yong still said such cool things to Kong, how can it be unreasonable? !

But Kong Sheng is not going to turn his face with Lin Yong for a sentence.

He slowly opened his eyes and smiled slightly: "The safety of the princess is where Kong Mou is on duty, and he dare not slack off." The Grand Duke, please forgive Kong for his blunt words, it is better to open the city gate, let go of war preparations, and restore the cultivation life of the people, the army of the Hui people has been pressing the border for so long, if they want to invade, they will already invade, why wait until the princess arrives in Lingwu? This is unconscionable, there is no need to be a soldier. ”

"Of course, this is just Kong's suggestion, and I ask the Governor to decide." Kong Sheng turned around and was about to leave. Because he found that the atmosphere was not right, all the Lingwu generals seemed to be filled with some hostility or rejection towards him, and he left behind to add to his unhappiness.

If Kong Sheng had left like this, probably there would have been no such thing as the following. But by mistake, there is a destiny in the dark, and something deserves to happen today. (To be continued.) )
