Chapter 85: Tension (Part 2)
Wang Lin stared at Pi Jing and the young soldier's soldiers quietly, he seemed to suddenly feel someone watching, and suddenly turned his head sideways, grinning at Wang Lin, showing a mouthful of white teeth, with some admiration and reverence.
Wang Lin nodded slightly, and the personal soldier had already walked out of the tent quickly.
Throughout history, no matter how annihilated the courtiers are, they all have a skill, maybe they are just good at observing words and feelings, and they are sloppy and patting horses. But these things that most people disdain, many times, require superb skill and art, otherwise the consequences of being slapped on the horse's leg are not easy to say.
Among the memorable ministers in history, Qin Hui has a lot of pen and ink. In that era of extreme humiliation for the Han nation, he killed Yue Fei, the only great hero who could lead the Han nation to regain the Yellow River Valley, where their ancestors thrived, to death, and he could be described as a sinner of the nation through the ages.
Qin Hui was not born very well, but he was talented and had his own unique views on politics.
But sometimes the surname is really inexplicable, when Qin Hui first entered the career, he was a staunch anti-Jin, advocating radicalism and regaining lost territory. It's just that since he was captured by the Jin State, he has changed and become the head of the Lord and the faction. Many times, looking at his decision-making, you will have the illusion that he is the prime minister of the Kingdom of Jin. But that's it, the king at that time still favored him.
There is another person, He Shen, the first corrupt official of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. He Shen's birth was originally good, with pure Manchu aristocratic blood. Just because of his father's death, He Shen's life was a little miserable and he suffered a little. So he worked hard and studied hard.
Qianlong, as a well-known Ming monarch of the Manchu Dynasty, could not have known about He Shen's evil deeds, but he turned a blind eye to this, and never really punished He Shen for this. Why is that? Qianlong was reluctant. He Shen people are good-looking, and more importantly, they are smart and talented. It is no exaggeration to say that He Shen's attainments in Confucian classics are definitely at the level of a grandmaster. Qianlong likes to practice calligraphy and recite poetry. He Shen also has a deep study in these aspects, and he and Qianlong have a common language. What's more, He Shen is good at observing words and feelings, slapping horses, just like roundworms in Qianlong's stomach, not to mention that he has extraordinary skills when dealing with government affairs, such a person who is like a confidant, is Qianlong willing to kill?
Although Pi Jinghe stopped moving forward at this time because he was afraid of Wu Mingche, he was also a general who had been on the battlefield for decades, and of course he understood that the military aircraft plan needed to be kept secret. Therefore, in this huge camp, there are only the undead and Pi Jinghe left at this time, which seems a little empty.
"General Wang, what plan do you have, you can talk about it now!" Pi Jinghe was not verbose, and said straight to the point.
"Actually, it's very simple." Wang Lin paused, and seeing that Pi Jinghe was listening carefully, he began to speak: "As long as the general attacks with the whole army at this time, Wu Mingche will definitely retreat and return." ”
Pi Jinghe was stunned, and then a touch of blush suddenly appeared on his face, "bang", Pi Jinghe's fat palm smashed on the table in front of him, shaking the paperweight into the air, and the brushes used to draft documents were even more shocked and scattered on the table and the ground, making a messy sound.
"Wang Lin, are you playing with General Ben?" Pi Jinghe was already angry because he was disturbed by Wang Lin's dream, and when he heard Wang Lin say that he had merit to earn, he put his anger in his heart for a while.
Pi Jinghe stood up suddenly, exuding a soaring murderous aura all over his body, his eyes widened with anger, and the angry flames seemed to burn Wang Lin clean.
"General!" Two different exclamations rang out from outside the tent, and then a jumble of footsteps was heard, and the curtain of the tent was jumped up, and ten men rushed in from the outside, eight dressed in red and two in tight black.
As soon as they entered, the man in red protected Pi Jinghe behind him, while the man in black also stood beside Wang Lin with a vigilant expression, his right hand pressed tightly on the hilt of the knife at his waist.
The leader in red was the young man who went out before, while the man in black was serious and cold.
"Wang Lin, as a Shouyang guard, but you left your post without permission, ignoring the safety of Shouyang, what crime should you be guilty of dereliction of duty? Ben will be the right servant of Xingtai Shangshu, naturally he will be responsible for the empire, responsible for His Majesty, left and right, quickly take down Wang Lin with me, collect the military power, and escort it back to Yecheng to wait for the holy judge! Pi Jinghe really didn't want to see this guy who made a fool of himself, so he scolded loudly when he saw his soldiers coming in.
"Yes!" The soldier named Xiao Qin responded yes, choked and pulled out the Xueliang steel knife he was wearing at his waist, and slowly pressed towards Wang Lin with the rest of the named soldiers.
Before he gave up without fear, a bright light flashed, and the scimitar with an arc was unsheathed, revealing a faint cold air. Shang Buqi stared at Xiao Qin who was approaching him step by step with an indifferent face, there was no trace of fear in his eyes, only disregard and coldness for life, and a strong murderous aura and bloody smell appeared on his body, which made the temperature in the tent a little lower.
Xiao Qin's footsteps paused, and the next moment a scorching light suddenly erupted in his eyes, and he looked at him without giving up, and the fierce and brave momentum on his body was released without reservation.
Although the big tent is huge, it is not so spacious with ten more people. Xiao Qin and Shang Buqi were only four or five meters apart, a few steps away.
However, Xiao Qin did not rush towards Shang Buqi suddenly, one of them was because Shang Buqi was a master, and it can be seen from his indifference and amazing murderous aura that there were many people who died in his hands. The second is that Xiao Qin does not want to be an enemy of Wang Lin from the bottom of his heart. If it weren't for Wang Lin's months along the Huai River, and Gao Changgong and Gao Changgong curbing the pace of Chen's army's advance, I am afraid that Wu Mingche would have drunk the Yellow River at this time. This kind of national hero is something that people can admire and learn.
"General Pi is angry." Just when the two sides were tense, Wang Lin spoke, his voice was calm, without a trace of tension, dispelling the originally depressed atmosphere in the big tent.
Xiao Qin stopped, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and cast his inquiring gaze on Pi Jinghe behind him.
"Wang Lin, what else do you have to say?" Pi Jinghe glared at Wang Lin angrily, with an impatient expression. It is an absolute shame that he, a general commanding 200,000 troops, was actually frightened by his own people and ran around.
"Pi Jinghe, as a general sent by the imperial court to aid Shouyang and fight against Eastern Wu, why did you command 200,000 troops, but you turned a blind eye to the siege of Shouyang, and you are still afraid that Chen's army will stop moving, are you worthy of Your Majesty's trust in you? Are you worthy of the people in the Jianghuai River basin who are in dire straits? Wang Lin's body was quite tall, his face was full of indignation and excitement, and he questioned Pi Jinghe loudly.
Since the fall of the Liang Dynasty, Wang Lin has been unhappy. Although the Northern Qi Dynasty gave him high-ranking officials, he did not have much real power in his hands, especially military power. When the news of Chen's Northern Expedition reached Yecheng, Wang Lin was overjoyed. He hated Chen Baxian's Chen royal family very deeply, and he thought about subverting Chen Guo and whipping Chen Baxian's bones every night.
However, as a former minister of the Liang State, for political purposes, the Northern Qi accepted him, but they would never trust him. So Wang Lin could only stay in Yecheng helplessly and spend the same year. Following Wei Pohu to the south, as soon as he encountered Chen *'s army, he was defeated and lost, if he hadn't been happy to save him, maybe he would have gone to see the emperor of Liang State a long time ago.
As long as he is allowed to fight Chen *jun, Wang Lin can suffer as much suspicion as he wants, but even his only request cannot be well satisfied. Around him, there are always people who are holding back. Seeing that Shouyang was not guaranteed, Pi Jinghe not only did not have the slightest gesture of going to the rescue, but now he even wanted to confiscate his military power.
"Wang Lin, don't talk nonsense! I am a dignified general, of course I will not be afraid of Chen *jun! Pi Jinghe refuted loudly, although he was really afraid in his heart, he couldn't say no, "General Ben set up camp thirty miles away from Shouyang, the purpose is to deter Chen's army and make them dare not act rashly. What's more, the enemy's situation is unknown, if you rashly attack and fall into the enemy's annihilation plan, who will bear the consequences, is it you? ”
"Pi Jinghe, as long as you lend me the male soldiers, I, Wang Lin, will definitely defeat Chen*'s army, otherwise I will come to see you! How, do you dare? When Wang Lin heard this, he immediately walked up a few steps and looked directly at Pi Jinghedao.
Pi Jinghe's expression froze, and he paused before saying sternly: "Wang Lin, as the commander-in-chief, he is naturally responsible for the surnames of these 200,000 soldiers, and your request will be forgiven!" ”
Although he didn't dare to attack, he couldn't let others get credit. This is the true portrayal of Pi Jing and his thoughts, if Wang Lin succeeds, he will get very little credit. On the contrary, as long as the army is preserved and the pursuing Chen * army is repulsed, his own merit will be great, so why bother with the death of others.
"Pi Jinghe, the eldest husband should stand up to the sky and the earth, protect the family and defend the country, even if it is a horse leather shroud. Now because you are greedy for life and afraid of death, and you are afraid of death, you are going to let my great Qi fall into the hands of thieves, and the people will fall under their iron hooves, so that countless warriors of Daqi will give up glory, what kind of heart do you have? Wang Lin was furious and scolded Pi Jinghe with foam.
