Many people are looking forward to Lin Zhao's performance, but fortunately he himself doesn't know, otherwise the pressure he will have to bear is self-evident. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Because Wang Shao had a good impression of Lin Zhao, and because of Ouyang Xiu's recommendation and entrustment, he naturally attached great importance to Lin Zhao and treated him very well. Although he was only a small commander, it stands to reason that his subordinates were only worthy of leading 500 people, but Wang Shao did not intend to treat Lin Zhao badly.

The appointment was made soon, and Lin Zhao's task was to garrison Dashun City!

Daesun Fortress is forty miles northwest of Gyeongju, the gateway to Gyeongju, and is one of the most important castles in the Great Song Dynasty, which is of great importance. Especially at the time of the current war with the Western Xia Jilie, the strategic significance of Dashun City is self-evident.

The guards of Dashun City are naturally extraordinary, maybe the level is not very high, but the power, especially the role they play, is absolutely extraordinary. It's a good job, but it's also a lot of responsibility.

Wang Shao has this arrangement, which can be regarded as a high opinion of Lin Zhao, and deliberately gave him a chance to show his ability and look forward to his wonderful performance.

Of course, there are also some very human reasons for this. For example, Lin Zhao had been in Dashun City before, especially in the most difficult Dashun City defense battle, and he was one of the commanders.

Although he is a cameo general, he is very familiar with the situation of Dashun City, and he is also very talented in military command. It is a buildable material, and it is fully capable of the defense task of Dashun City.

For Lin Zhao, Dashun City has another meaning.

Since rebirth, the first life-and-death crisis is here, and the meaning is naturally extraordinary. He clearly remembered that it was here that he fought bloody battles with the soldiers and killed the enemy and made meritorious contributions. It was also here that he was framed by Li Fugui, imprisoned, and died nine lives.

Dashun City has a special significance, especially the more than 1,000 soldiers who sleep there, the cause of death is more or less related to himself, Lin Zhao has always felt a little guilty.

Lin Zhao came to Gyeongju this time, originally planned to go to Dashun City, and the purpose was naturally to pay tribute to the more than 1,000 heroic souls who died in vain. Now, I didn't expect him to become the guard of Dashun City, and he happened to stop by, which was much more convenient.

However, Lin Zhao is only a commander after all, and it seems that he is a little lacking in weight for the guards of Dashun City. Therefore, Wang Shao is mainly based on Jing Sili, supplemented by Lin Zhao.

Jing Sili himself has a very high position, rich experience, and good ability, and more importantly, he is a former defender of Dashun City. Who knows every grass and tree, every brick and tile, better than him? It is undoubtedly the most suitable arrangement for him to return to the helm of Dashun City.

Back to Dashun City, Jing Sili and Lin Zhao cooperated together and complemented each other. As for Liu Changzuo, he went to Liyuan Fort, where he was originally the guard.

Originally, the fate and trajectory of both of them may have been very bland. If it weren't for Lin Zhao, they would only be a small general in their lives, and they wouldn't have much promotion, and it would be nonsense to want to leave a name in history. Because of Lin Zhao's actions in Gyeongju, their lives also changed.

Because Lin Zhaomeng was wronged, Li Fugui was in his original form, and Wang Shao came to pacify and govern Gyeongju. In this way, there was an intersection between Wang Shao and Jing Sili, and Jing Sili had the opportunity to be recognized and appreciated by Wang Shao. A few years later, Wang Shao was ordered to pass through the Xihe River to fight against Tibet, and the deputy general was Jing Sili when he opened up the territory, and the partnership between them began today.

As for Liu Changzuo, if it weren't for Lin Zhao's appearance, how would his future in the army gradually take off. When the Song Dynasty fought against Western Xia on the Five Routes, he could become one of the main generals.

Their lives have changed because of Lin Zhao. Now it is only because of their meritorious service in the previous battle of Dashun City, and the revelation that Li Fugui suffered a lot to compensate. Now their rank and status have been slightly improved, and they vaguely have feelings for Lin Zhaoduo.

Little do they know it, this is just the beginning!

The cooperation between Lin Zhao and Jing Sili is quite tacit, after all, they have fought together and insisted on resisting the onslaught of Western Xia under such difficult conditions, and this love of fighting side by side is precious. What's more, they used to have a common enemy between each other, Li Fugui, and their tempers are relatively similar, so they get along very happily.

Guarding Dashun City, although he was the main one, Jing Sili did not dare to underestimate Lin Zhao at all. This time in Bianjing, he saw Lin Zhao's influence and strength, and the support behind others was something he didn't dare to imagine, and the Empress Dowager came forward.

Lin Dongyang felt that he had a great future, although he was only a commander at present, but the future must be limitless, not to mention that he had the title of Earl Weiyuan. In a word, he can't afford to provoke himself at all, Jing Sili has this self-knowledge. What's more, Lin Zhao is not a gentleman, other people's abilities are there, except for his slightly more experience, he is really not comparable.

Moreover, Jing Sili is also a little bit shy. Maybe he used to think that as long as he performed well in the army, fulfilled his duties, and fought bravely, he would always be promoted and show his ambitions.

But as time went on, he found that this was not the case, and that sometimes opportunities were important, and it was also important for noble people to help. If it weren't for Han Jiang's fancy to promote himself, he would only be a junior general at this moment, and he would never have a bright future.

After arriving in Gyeongju, the intersection with Han Jiang became less and less, and it was destined to be of little help in the future. If you want to be promoted in the army, you must have a backer, but Jing Sili himself is not the kind of person who is good at flattery, and he can't do it when he wants to meet him. However, after meeting Lin Zhao, Jing Sili saw another hope.

Lin Zhao's spleen has already mastered some of it, and he doesn't need to deliberately curry favor, he just needs to maintain a good relationship with Lin Zhao, and it will be very beneficial in the future. Therefore, on this errand in Dashun City, Jing Sili is actually dominated by Lin Zhao, and at least Lin Zhao's opinion must be respected.

When the two came to Dashun City, this city baptized by beacon fire and blood was still standing, no different from before.

Prior to this, although Li Fugui slaughtered the defenders of Dashun City, the vital city did not dare to lose at all, and it was always in the hands of the Song army and was not lost.

Outside Dashun City, the originally large flat land is now protruding from many low hills. These are the tombs of more than 1,000 soldiers who died in vain. After Li Fugui killed him, he claimed that it was Lin Zhao and the Western Xia people who did it, so the soldiers still enjoyed the treatment of heroic martyrs.

Some of the ashes were sent back to their hometowns, while others were buried directly outside Dashun City. Even after his death, Ying Hun has been guarding Dashun City.

Riding the little white dragon, seeing this scene from afar, Lin Zhao's heart immediately twisted like a knife.

On that night a few months ago, the tragic scene resurfaced in front of me, the blazing fire, and the heart-rending cries of the soldiers......

Lin Zhao silently closed his eyes, which were already a little red and a little moist. After a moment of silence, he opened his eyes again and then turned over and dismounted, walking step by step towards the newly piled tomb. Jing Sili also followed, and carefully said that his feelings were the deepest, after all, these soldiers used to be his subordinates.

Walking in front of the grave, Lin Zhao didn't say a word, and fell to his knees with a plop.

A man has gold under his knees, and he will never kneel easily. In ancient times, there was also a tradition that kneeling only knelt to the prince of heaven and earth, in fact, in the enlightened Song Dynasty, even if he met the emperor, he did not need to kneel.

But today, Lin Zhao knelt here.

These more than 1,000 soldiers are heroes who resisted the Western Xia, experienced fierce battles, and went through thousands of difficulties and dangers, and finally survived. It is a warrior who fought bloodily for the Great Song Dynasty, and these people themselves are worthy of respect.

They did not die on the battlefield, but in the end they were burned to death by Li Fugui, which is really a bit wronged. Lin Zhao knew very well that although the fire was let go by Li Fugui, it had a great relationship with himself. There is a way that I do not kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me. Li Fugui himself would not easily murder the soldiers, but when framing himself, more than 1,000 soldiers became the most unfavorable witnesses, so he raised the butcher's knife.

Lin Zhao felt guilty about this, if it weren't for himself, maybe the more than 1,000 soldiers would not have died in vain. Some of them will be discharged from the army, disarmed and returned to the field, and share their family with their wives and children; Maybe someone accumulates military merits, gets promoted, and performs on a bigger stage; Maybe......

But their lives ended for no reason that night in Dashun City, Lin Zhao felt guilty. This kneeling is also due, not just a situation, his heart is extremely pious.

The moment he knelt down, Lin Zhao remembered his oath. That night, in front of Li Fugui and thousands of soldiers, Lin Zhao once said that he would definitely kill Li Fugui and avenge the soldiers.

The eldest husband will do what he says, this is not an empty word, Lin Zhao will do everything possible to fulfill this promise. Even if Li Fugui fled to Western Xia, he had to find a way to kill him to comfort the souls of the soldiers in the sky.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Western Xia, Xingqing Mansion.

Li Fujiu, who lives in the Prime Minister's Mansion, sneezed several times in a row, and when he wiped away his snot, he couldn't help but say, "What kind of person is talking about me like this?" ”

Li Fugui defected to Western Xia, and the treatment was not bad.

Although he was once a general of the Song army, he had clashed with the Western Xia on the battlefield many times, and there were not a few Western Xia soldiers who died under him. Although the Tangut people have a little resentment, they understand the principle that the overall situation is important.

Especially now, when the Western Xia attacked the Song Dynasty on a large scale, Li Fugui, a high-ranking general who defected, had the most secrets of the Song army. In particular, he is well aware of the layout of the Song army's border defense, and his presence is undoubtedly beneficial.

At least the Tangut people could easily know the exact location of the Song army's fortresses, as well as the status of the garrisons, especially the contact and cooperation between them. This is information that is difficult for the Western Xia scouts to grasp for several years, and with this, they can take advantage of the situation and beat the Song army to pieces.

This advantage has now been highlighted, and at the very beginning of the war, the Tanguts attacked in an all-round way, and indeed achieved certain results on the border line of thousands of miles, at least taking advantage of a lot of advantage. Li Fugui's value is naturally more prominent, and Minister of State Liang Yibury regards Li Fugui as a treasure, and directly takes him back to live in his own house, just to keep it for himself and not let others get involved in it, and intelligence is a very valuable resource.

This time, Liang Yibury wanted to rely on Li Fugui, a treasure, to make great contributions in the war against the Song Dynasty, so as to be ashamed and consolidate his position in the Western Xia. Therefore, this battle is very important to him, originally Liang Yibury wanted to fight steadily, but since he had Li Fugui, Liang Yibury felt that this was an extremely rare opportunity, and he planned to personally lead the troops to fight. As a result, Li Fugui became a guest of honor in the Prime Minister's Office.

In the eyes of everyone, Li Fugui is invaluable. But only he knows that his potential value is constantly decreasing. How to live in Western Xia next, this is Li Fugui's biggest headache.

At present, he is like a fish in water in Western Xia, and he is courteous, because he still has use value. But once the war is over, is it still useful? When you say all the things in your stomach, I'm afraid it's worthless. In particular, if the relationship between Song and Xia improves, the Song Dynasty may put forward a demand for Western Xia to hand over itself.

Once peace is negotiated, can Western Xia offend the Song Dynasty? Can you not agree? As a fugitive from the Song Dynasty, he is worthless on the side of Western Xia, and it is self-evident what the result will be. So the situation is awkward and dangerous.

Although Li Fugui is outcast, his mind is still quite sober, especially when it comes to his own life and death, he no longer has the arrogance of the past, he is very self-aware.

Be prepared for danger in times of peace, Li Fugui will implement this concept very well!

"General, Western Xia is not a place to live for a long time after all, it is ...... to think of a way in advance" Even though Li Fugui had defected, Chen Qiao couldn't change his mind for a while.

Li Fugui nodded lightly: "Yes, but where should I go?" Now that he is in Western Xia, although he is quite courteous, he is actually involuntarily! ”

"General, don't be in a hurry, wait slowly, there is always an opportunity. In addition to the land of Song and Xia in the northwest, Tubo can't go, so Suo Xing continues to the west and goes to the Western Regions! ”

"The Western Regions?" Lee Fu-gyu also thinks it's a good place, but it's not easy to go there smoothly. Moreover, at this time, a piece of news came that made Li Fugui hesitate a little.

Lin Zhao came to the northwest and became the defender of Dashun City.

As soon as he heard Lin Zhao's name, Li Fugui gritted his teeth with hatred, the reason why he fell into today's situation can be said to be completely due to Lin Zhao's defeat. Although everything is the result of his own obstinate actions, people like Li Fugui will never blame themselves.

If it weren't for Lin Zhao, what would he do?

As soon as he thought of this, Li Fugui was furious, and his desire for revenge was extremely strong. It's just that he is now a distinguished guest under house arrest in Western Xia, and he can only provide some information, in this case, how easy is it to take revenge? It's undoubtedly a fool's dream.

Li Fugui was inevitably a little frustrated, but Chen Qiao smiled and said: "The general doesn't have to worry, sometimes revenge doesn't have to be done by himself, isn't it good to borrow a knife to kill someone?" ”rs！。 (Go..)
