It is very certain that no one has ever taken the initiative to appease a horse thief on a large scale before, and this appeasement has been so sudden and powerful. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since the decision was made to appease the horse thieves, in just one week, the scouts who were sent out successively contacted the seven horse thieves within a radius of 100 miles, and these seven horse thieves were successively judged to be the unreturnable soldiers who had been separated from the previous battle, and their number was only more than 2,000. It was determined that they had been in the Han army, and after some discussion, they decided to make tentative contacts, and things went very smoothly, and almost as soon as they were exempted from fine, they took the initiative to surrender.

The horse thieves on the border are inevitably not all Han soldiers who have been separated and are afraid of being punished and dare not return, more of them are people gathered purely for robbery, and more are armed of foreign races, and this type is naturally the most unlikely to accept appeasement.

Due to the constraints of the time conditions, Lin Bin was unable to send troops to suppress the army, and the decentralization of military command power was one of the main reasons for internal instability. Lin Bin did not have the authority to command the Northern Army, and it was very likely that it would cause internal turmoil for this reason in the future, and in order to prepare for a long-term war, he decided to let the horse thieves who were unwilling to accept appeasement leave.

The above also planted the seeds of the first conspiracy, just waiting for the buds to emerge at any time.

When he learned that many horse thieves were gathering, Lin Bin's first reaction was to look at Gongsun Hong, and he was very satisfied that the jointly designed plan had achieved its goal. In order to get the power to control all the military power, Lin Bin recruited henchmen for planning as early as a month and a half ago, and now it is time to reveal the answer.

Received a scout's return. The enemy army led by Xianbei and Wuhuan invited the Quartet tribes, claiming to be 150,000 to the outside world, and was about to go south in the near future. The war is on the verge of breaking out. In this case, Lin Bin was summoned by Liu Jing to inquire about the relevant preparations as soon as possible.

Lin Bin walked into the front hall of the city tower and looked at both sides, the princess Liu Jing and the lord Liu Yicui knelt on the cushion platform at the head of the hall.

Lin Bin walked slowly, his steps were sonorous and steady, and the armor pieces on his body made a 'whoosh' sound with the footsteps. The hand gripping the hilt of the knife at his waist was unusually strong. He paused before the cushion, his hands clenched into fists, but he didn't say hello.

Claimed to be 150,000? Note the word 'claim'. That is to say, the number of enemy troops is unknown, and in the face of an unknown number of enemy troops, there is only Shiyan, a new army of less than 10,000 on the side of the West River, although Liu Jing is nominally the supreme commander of Shiyan. But it was Lin Bin who really controlled most of the army. At the moment when the enemy was about to attack, it was reasonable for Liu Jing to summon Lin Bin.

Lin Bin looked left and right, and all the people standing were officers of the Northern Army and civil officials of Shiyan, he didn't know if his subordinates were summoned and didn't come, or if Liu Jing and the others were not summoned at all. Whether it is called and does not come, or is not called at all, this shows one thing, and that is that there is really a tendency for internal instability. This made Lin Bin more and more believe that military power must be unified.

The Northern Army is a proud army; The Haw Par Cavalry also has a sense of arrogance because of its repeated victories. Both armies have their own reasons for pride. However, the pride of two different systems stationed in the same place will inevitably break out more or less some contradictions, and Lin Bin and Liu Jing are usually sitting in Shiyan. There are contradictions, but they are suppressed.

Prevent it before it happens. It is hard to imagine that once Lin Bin led the army to battle and the forces in Shiyan City were out of balance, would the two equally proud armies fight for some reason? This is what Lin Bin is worried about, and Liu Jing never wants to see. The two have talked many times, but none of them have come to a conclusion, which also made Lin Bin make a bad move, hoping that Liu Jing would be able to make concessions under the pressure of external pressure.

Lin Bin's idea was: Liu Jing could neither lead troops to fight nor know anything about military affairs, so there was no need to control the army at all. Another rule is that if the Son of Heaven intends to gain experience from the battle between the tiger and leopard cavalry and the nomads, and reform the Han army, it is better for the northern army to go to war rather than stay in Shiyan as a city guard. Of course, the above is all wishful thinking on the part of Lin Bin, and does not take into account the meaning of the political sense at all.

Liu Jing didn't know what to say to Liu Yicui, Liu Yicui stood up with a gesture, and then walked towards the back of the hall with small steps. Waiting for Liu Yicui's shadow to turn into a corner, Liu Jing slowly raised her hands and pressed down, signaling the people who were talking to each other to be quiet.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since Binjun has come, why don't you ask each other?"

Chang Diaochong took the lead in the ranks, "If you have something to say, if there is anything wrong, please don't be surprised by the general." He bowed, "Scout report: Dingnan, Shangjun, Shuofang, Yunzhong, so many directions of the enemy army, claimed to be 150,000, I don't know if the general thinks it is true?" ”

Lin Bin looked directly at Chang Diaochong, "It's not all true, but it's not all fake." ”

Chang Diaochong asked confusedly: "What does the general mean by this?" ”

"Dingnan, Shangjun, Shuofang, and Yunzhong, there are indeed enemy troops gathering in these places, but they are not all horse thieves, but more of them are routine assemblies of foreign races after the beginning of spring. Every year after the beginning of spring, the alien race will take the initiative to come to the Han Realm to carry out the so-called grass valley, this time it is just gathered with the horse thieves, the movement is a little bigger than in previous years, there is nothing to make a fuss about, and it is not entirely aimed at us. ”

Everyone in the hall is from Chang'an, and they know very little about Biansai, and when they hear information that is different from their understanding, they all pricked up their ears and listened attentively.

"The enemy army claims to be 150,000, but it is only a claim, and the true number needs to be determined. According to my personal guess, the soldiers and civilians near the Xihe River have retreated, and the enemy's main target will never be here, and their targets should be Yanmen and Daijun. ”

"Is the general saying that the enemy will not attack?"

"It's not that they won't come, but that there will be relatively few comes, no more than 30,000."

"Hiss......"

The sound of inhalation in the hall fluctuated with each other, as far as these people knew, in the past, one or two thousand enemy troops could disturb a county in the border area, but now some people actually said that thirty thousand was very little, and they felt depressed and felt that Lin Bin was a little too big.

"The general is good at fighting, we know, but it's just ......, with 5,000 against 30,000, is it a big deal?"

Lin Bin glanced at the Yi Cao who jumped out unhappily, "It's not five thousand." It's all armies, including the Northern Army! ”

Now everyone understands what Lin Bin wants to say, and he clearly tells everyone: I want all military power! So that I can defeat the invading enemy!

Liu Jing was originally expressionless, she was an inscrutable woman. I don't choose to believe what I say because of what I say. She had thought that Lin Bin would try to exaggerate the number of enemy troops in order to get more support from the Han Kingdom, and if Lin Bin really exaggerated the number to make a profit, then she would choose to suppress it and not let this force grow uncontrollably. Now, she was relieved to hear Lin Bin steadily tell the information that was not much different from her guess. thinks that although Lin Bin has changed, he is still the man she understands.

"How many people does Bin Jun think there will be in the total number of enemy troops?"

"Based on past speculations, there should be around 80,000, and the difference will not be too big."

"Who's the main force?"

"The attention of the Huns turned to the West. This time the Huns will not send too many troops. I think it was probably the Xianbei people and the Karasuma people (Karasuma) who sent the most troops. We have defeated the Qiang many times before, and the Qiang people's population has plummeted, and they are struggling to protect themselves, so we should not send troops this time. The Qiang and Di people will probably also fish in troubled waters. The others are the horse thieves who have gathered together. ”

"It's clear. Can Bin Jun have a war strategy? ”

Lin Bin didn't answer immediately this time, he walked in front of the officers of the Northern Army one by one as if he was by name, and once again used his actions to tell Liu Jing what he wanted to say. As we all know, if Lin Bin's command does not count the horse thieves who have just been appeased, there are only 5,000 troops, according to people's intuitive impression at this time, it is generally judged by the comparison of the number of troops on both sides, if Liu Jing can't see what Lin Bin wants to express, then she is not Liu Jing.

Long......

"Let's see what kind of strategy Her Royal Highness needs to fight. It is to protect oneself. Maybe...... Defeat all enemy forces from other directions? Depending on the strategy, the number of troops and time required will also be different. ”

The civil servants were stunned. None of the people who can mix in the officialdom are good stubble, how can they not hear the meaning of Lin Bin's words?

Chang Diaochong hesitated for a moment and asked again on behalf of the civil official group.

"What is the general's strategy to defeat the attacking army and then support the other side? Furthermore, why did the general support Yanmen and Daijun? Is there a picture? ”

Lin Bin was full of pride: "In the past, with only 1,000 people, I dared to lead the army to rampage in the grassland full of aliens, but now there are nearly 10,000 cavalry under my command, what is there to be afraid of!" As for why we support other counties, isn't our army the Han army? Shouldn't you lead an army to help your compatriots when they are about to suffer? ”

Almost everybody choked up on the question, usually over there, "Ugh...... Uh...... "It's not over." Who here dares to say that this army is not a Han army?

Liu Jing lowered her head and pinched the corners of her clothes to hide the joy on her face, she just liked to look at the elm head with a proud and ambitious appearance, and felt that it was very manly. She thought happily in her heart: "If you are born as a man, you will be a million armor on your chest, and when you hear that there is a war, you will be happy instead of being timid, and you will be a big husband!" ”

After weighing the gains and losses in her heart for a while, Liu Jing somehow really believed that the 30,000 enemy troops were only 30,000 native chickens and dogs in his eyes. However, she was happy at the same time, but she also complained a little that the elm head was too domineering to seek military power.

Liu Jing didn't understand why Lin Bin had always attached so much importance to military power, if she didn't know that Lin Bin was not good at politics, she would unconsciously think in the direction of seizing power, but she had the impression that Lin Bin was a political idiot, and subconsciously thought it was for combat considerations. In the past, she had a reason to refuse, and that was because she was subject to the Han law, so she could not hand over the military power of the Northern Army, but now that the person who should have come has come, and has been preparing for nearly a month, it is time to hand over the Northern Army.

"Bin, come on." Liu Jing slowly stood up, "The queen will talk." ”

Both civil and military, a pair of eyes scanned back and forth between Liu Jing and Lin Bin, each with his own thoughts.

Chang Diaochong narrowed his short-sighted eyes into a line, and secretly considered whether to send the situation about Nangong back to Chang'an, after all, royal affairs are world affairs. At this time, as long as anyone with a little heart can see that Nangong Xinxi is a martial artist named Lin Bin. As far as he knows, the Son of Heaven trusts Princess Nangong very much, and the relationship between the two has been very good since childhood, and now Nangong is destined not to return to the Han Kingdom, so he should make more plans for the future.

Chang Diaochong didn't know that Nangong was the candidate personally selected by the Son of Heaven, but remembered that the Son of Heaven was so angry several times that he almost personally picked up his sword and chopped the Huns. The Son of Heaven was in a trance for a long time, and he was ecstatic when he heard the news from Nangong.

Lin Bin followed Liu Jing into the back of the hall, and he hadn't adapted to the light yet. Suddenly, I heard a woman's gravel: "I've seen the general!" ”

Lin Bin fixed his eyes and saw Liu Yicui in a military costume and clenching his fists, which made Lin Bin a little stunned, he was puzzled by what the seemingly delicate Liu Yicui was going to do when he changed into a military uniform?

"Confused?"

Lin Bin was stunned, "Are you going to tell me that in fact, you are all masters?" ”

"I just like to mess around." Liu Jing's face was coquettish, "Clan relatives have always needed to learn martial arts. What's so strange? Although the clan sister is a daughter, she has a good fighting skill, if you don't believe it. It's competable! ”

Lin Bin thought to himself, Liu Jing, the mother-in-law, had learned a powerful self-defense technique, and he tried to take advantage of it several times, but he was beaten up but didn't take advantage of it.

But seeing Liu Yicui, who has always behaved elegantly and talked gently, her seemingly delicate body turned out to be so heroic after putting on a military uniform. So much so that Lin Bin felt that the gap was too big. It's a little hard to accept.

Of course, Lin Bin didn't want to come in and discuss with Liu Jing whether a woman is beautiful or not after wearing a military uniform, what he wanted was Liu Jing's attitude.

"Jing knows that Bin Jun doesn't know common sense. The Northern Army can only be led by the Son of Heaven's Festival, and those who hold the Son of Heaven's Order need to eat officials with a rank of more than 2,000 stones, and the clan sister is the lord of Weng, with a rank of 3,000 stones, and can hold a false festival order to be the monarch in charge of the Northern Army. ”

Lin Bin understood that Liu Jing was saying that he was not unwilling to delegate the military power of the Northern Army before. Instead, he was unable to decentralize due to the law, and now he wanted Liu Yicui to lead the northern army to fight under his command. Of course, he knew that there was an element of overseer in that. But if there is really such a layer of regulations, Liu Jing can be regarded as painstakingly making arrangements.

"You ......" Lin Bin looked at Liu Yicui, who was still holding his fists, "Can you really go to the battlefield to fight?" ”

Liu Yicui changed her previous delicate and replied sonorously: "I am willing to help the general kill the thief!" ”

Lin Bin was speechless, he didn't understand whether there was a military discipline that restricted women from entering and leaving the barracks at this time, and saw that Liu Jing and Liu Yicui were resolute, and they had to compromise in order to control the whole army. He secretly decided, "Just follow, just leave this woman in the Chinese army to take care of it during the war." ”

Out of the apse, Liu Jing announced the decision, and it seemed that the Chinese martial arts of the hall did not feel strange, which made Lin Bin even more sure that women should often go into battle in this era, at least there was no restriction that women could not go to the battlefield, and he was silent in his heart.

Waiting for Wenwu to withdraw and Lin Bin was about to leave, Liu Jing stopped him again.

Liu Jing smiled and held Liu Yicui's hand and was about to put it on Lin Bin's big palm, "Do you dare to accept it?" ”

"Here we go again! This crazy! Lin Bin's expression froze instantly, and he was not angry, "You're going crazy again!?" The war is imminent, Lao Tzu has a lot of military affairs, and there is nothing to add to the blockage. ”

Liu Jing smiled even more happily, "It's not a gesture, it's a fact." Beauty is in front of you, if you don't accept it, it's not your husband. Jing asked again: Do you dare to accept it? ”

Lin Bin has already obtained military power, now that the goal has been achieved, he doesn't want to continue to waste time, so he arrogantly pulled Liu Yicui over, "I will take care of her, and I won't let her fight with others." Relieved, right? "I hummed twice more dissatisfiedly, and then I almost dragged Liu Yicui away.

Liu Jing stood in place and watched Lin Bin and Liu Yicui leave, and her smiling expression instantly cooled down......

*******************************************************************************

Things went so smoothly that Lin Bin, Gongsun Hong and others were a little puzzled, this is a sense of surprise that can't be sure of other people's mentality, as if they held back for a long time and finally hit a heavy punch, but the fist hit the sponge, and the fist was not injured, but I don't understand why the sponge will return to its original state immediately after it is recessed, so what is the punch for? That is, they all think about complicated things......

Not only got the command of the Northern Army from Liu Jing, but also heard the news that 'Ya'er' took the initiative to jump out, it stands to reason that Lin Bin should be happy, but he couldn't be happy, he looked sullenly at Liu Yicui, who was sitting in the first seat on the left, dressed in military uniform, and then looked at the officers under his command with a strange expression on their faces, he knocked on the case, "Look at it." ”

The officers turned their heads to look at Lin Bin with a smile on their faces, but they didn't howl wolf to congratulate their adults on the return of the beauty, and they all seemed to be very happy.

Lin Bin pointed at Liu Yicui. "In the future, Lord Weng Yicui will lead the northern army to join you in military affairs."

The officers stood up: "Congratulations, my lord! ”

Lin Bin frowned, "What are you talking about?" Well!? All sit down! ”

The officers still looked so happy, and responded with "Promise!" "Sit down. His eyes always drifted to Liu Yicui, and he looked very envious.

Lin Bin glanced at Liu Yicui, who was sitting upright, and found that her demeanor was very natural, and she didn't seem to care about other people's thoughts at all. Lin Bin deliberately looked at Liu Yicui's gesture of holding the hilt of the sword, and unexpectedly found that her posture of holding the sword was very standard, just like Liu Jing said, she was really a woman who was familiar with combat skills.

"Can't let her go to war, what can she do?" Lin Bin lowered his head and thought. "Let her take care of the injured soldiers like Cui Niang and the others?" This idea was immediately overturned, and the news that Liu Yicui was willing to let Master Weng do rough work spread to Chang'an. I'm afraid that the first person to cut off his head is Liu Yicui's father.

Lin Bin didn't ask which prince Liu Yicui was the daughter, Liu Jing didn't talk about it, and Liu Yicui couldn't talk about it.

In fact, Liu Yicui was supposed to be called Liu Yi. She was originally the daughter of Liu Sui, the king of Zhao.

The 'Wu Chu Rebellion (also known as the Seven Kings Rebellion) that occurred during the reign of Emperor Xiaojing. Ended with the defeat of the Seven Kings, Wu Wangbi, Chu Wangwu, Zhao Wangsui, Jinan Wang Biguang, Zichuan Wang Xian, Jiaoxi Wang Yin, Jiaodong Wang Xiongqu, these seven princes were cut down after the defeat, the fief was recovered by the central power, and the fate of the children of the Seven Kings was not the same, suicide of suicide; The degraded are devalued; If you're lucky, you're still a little king who eats and waits for death. As for the woman's luck, it is obviously much better, and she retains the title of Weng Lord, but it is just a title. The decline of the family background is accompanied by the ups and downs of life, and these women have become famous with the fall of the family lineage. After social networking is basically cut off, even getting married has become a luxury, which is why Liu Jing said that Liu Yicui's life is hard.

The Han Dynasty had two names cheap, that is, the name took a single word to symbolize dignity, and two characters in the name were cheap names. Therefore, most people choose a single word for their names, and only at certain times, such as making a big mistake, or not being recognized by the clan relatives, will they insist on changing the name to two names.

Liu Yicui's family background was ruined, and she was forced to change her two-character name, which explains why she is the lord of the family, but she always seems so humble in the face of Lin Bin, and why Liu Jing dares to say that she wants to give Liu Yicui to Lin Bin as a princess. It must be noted that although it is strange, at this time, the exchange of relatives is also a request to ask someone to take care of it.

Lin Bin, a person who is not familiar with the customs of the Han Dynasty, knows all of the above, so he will look so awkward when he hears that Liu Jing is going to give Liu Yicui to himself......

After a long wait, until Lin Bin was a little impatient, those Northern Army officers finally appeared at the gate.

The officers of the Northern Army entered and walked straight, they stood still and shouted in unison: "See the general!" ”

Lin Bin stared at him dissatisfiedly for a while, then motioned for them to take a seat, and called them by name: "Lin Ying, tell me about the situation." ”

Lin Ying is the head of the scouts, and he is responsible for most of the operation to appease the horse thieves this time, and it is also his subordinates who find out about the enemy's upcoming military situation. He should "No! "Come out, tell what you know clearly, so that the Northern Army who don't know the situation can have a rough idea.

"Now that it's all clear, I won't repeat it. It will take at least a month for the enemy forces in these directions to gather and arrive, and what we have to do now is to purge the surrounding horse thieves who refuse to submit. Before deploying, listen to Liu Ru's account of the movements of the horse thieves in the vicinity. ”

Liu Ruis, who was originally the leader of one of the seven horse thieves, was also the first horse thief to take the initiative to submit, and he was quite burly, with a height of one meter seventy-four. After returning to Shun, he was appointed as the commander of the tun, Liu Rushi led a newly reorganized cavalry, and the original sons were dismantled and assigned to different queues, and he also knew that this would inevitably be the result, and he never complained.

"I have seen all my lords, my robes, my ......."

Lin Bin snapped, "Let you introduce the movements of the horse thieves nearby, not let you come out to greet them one by one." ”

Liu Ru didn't know that Lin Bin was such a character, thinking that he had angered Lin Bin, cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead, and he hurriedly introduced everything he knew.

With Liu Ruye's introduction, everyone probably understood that there were at least a dozen different armed groups nearby, and most of them gathered together and lurked on the side of the West River near Shuofang, with a number of about 7,000 people. The racial structure is also a mess, and the only thing that makes it a little comforting to listen to is that there are only nearly a thousand Chinese among those people, and most of them are of different races.

"That's all you know. I hope that all of you and all of you will ......"

At this time, Liu Yicui, who had not intervened, suddenly stood up, she first asked Lin Bin for instructions very observantly, and then asked Liu Ru: "How did so many thieves assemble, and why did they only notice it after they assembled?" ”

Liu Ru was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Lin Bin a little cringe. was glared at by Lin Bin, and responded very simply: "I don't know if I'm humble." ”

Liu Yicui looked at Lin Bin thoughtfully, and returned to his seat silently for a long time.

Lin Bin habitually touched the stubble on his chin. His eyes swept over the many officers, he was now a person with a base, and the battle could not be poured out as before, and Shiyan City must leave the necessary defensive forces. This is done by choosing the officers who will fight.

Since Lin Bin has already taken Shiyan as a base. It is also necessary to rely on Shiyan City to form a link with the interior, so there must be a safe transportation line, so all armed forces within a radius of 100 miles must be eliminated. Also, an army that has just been reorganized, its combat effectiveness needs to be tested, and there is no doubt that the horse thieves who have been temporarily assembled will be a good target for combat.

Fame but immediate: The officers who were glanced at were all puffed up, indicating that they had a strong desire to fight. Except for Chen Yi, I am afraid that no one wants to stay as a city guard, and the officers of the Northern Army are looking at Lin Bin with blazing eyes. I also desperately want to be able to play.

"Hehe......"

Lin Bin didn't touch the stubble on his chin anymore, he sang and squatted, like a pole bounced on the spot, and drank a little, the officers who were named were naturally happy, while those who were not named showed a look of chagrin.

Qing Shui took advantage of the gap when Lin Bin paused, and came out to hug his fists: "Why doesn't the general order the Northern Army?" Do you look down on the combat power of the Northern Army!? ”

Stopping the shouting when the order is about to be pointed is a challenge to the authority of the main general, and someone immediately jumps out and draws the sword......

Lin Ying's face was hideous: "An dare to be disrespectful to adults!" It's not good to see the blade in the hand of a certain family! ”

Immediately, several more people jumped out and put on a posture of 'asking for your life', but they didn't get permission, they all spat wildly and didn't dare to draw their knives. Qing Shui and other officers of the Northern Army were not afraid at all, and they also put on a posture of 'you are coming', but they did not dare to draw their swords. The two groups of people were separated for a few steps and shouted, comparing who was better at fighting.

The Han army has a law: the one who draws the sword - beheaded!

"Hahaha!!"

Lin Bin laughed wildly, the thunderous laughter echoed in the room, he shouted "good" three times in a row, and repelled those songs that were out of the ranks, showing a relieved expression: "I will not be afraid to fight, and the country will prosper!" ”

This is the first time that many people have heard a sentence from Lin Bin that is in line with this era, and Qing Shui and others have shown a strong desire to fight when they hear such an appropriate military call for war.

Gongsun Hong and Jiahe glanced at each other, and at the same time: "Please give an order!" ”

Everyone, including the officers of the Northern Army, followed suit, and they all came out and shouted: "We dare to fight, please give the order of the lord (general)!" ”

Lin Bin held the hilt of his knife and walked towards the wall where the map was hung, starting the tactics he had planned for a long time. He may not be really good at politics, but he is an old man in marching and fighting, and everyone is convinced to arrange the battle plan that has been calculated.

"Fight the time difference, solve the nearest enemy army in the shortest possible time, and then arrange to attack the coalition forces that are coming from afar." Lin Bin turned around and looked sharp: "Gongsun Hong, Jiahe, your task is particularly heavy, and a moment later or earlier is a matter of success or failure." ”

"Macro (He) will live up to the trust of adults!"

Another fine explanation......

The next day, Gongsun Hong and Jiahe each led a thousand leopard horsemen to take the lead out of the city, and at noon, Lin Bin, who received the information that the scouts were "ready", also led the main force, and left Shiyan City in the eyes of Liu Jing and other left-behind soldiers.

"I ...... sweat and youth, all the soldiers, follow me to kill the thief!"

"No!!"

Above the city tower, Liu Jing repeated the murmur: "The body is sweaty and green, and the man will not return." She looked up at the sky, "He's going to fight again......"
