[I don't know what I ate yesterday, my stomach hurts for a day, I really don't have the energy to write a book, I can only send two chapters today, I'm sorry! ] 】

-----

Lin Shihong was so angry that he trembled, pointed at his eldest son and scolded angrily: "Before the battle is fought, you cursed your brother to be killed by Zhang Xuan, which side are you on?" Isn't it that when Jang Hyun's army came, you went to kneel and beg for mercy, didn't you! ”

Lin Shihong's last sentence was like thunder, which frightened Lin Zhengtai and kowtowed, "Father, the child never means this!" ”

"Then what do you mean, say!"

The child just hopes that his brother will not kill people at will, and give Sui Jun a chance to buy people's hearts, especially not to ruin his father's reputation. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Lin Shihong sat down dejectedly, he sent his son to study, hoping that his son could read and judge things, have a far-sighted vision, and establish a great cause with literature, and several brothers supplemented him with martial arts, but he didn't expect his son to read as a nerd, and actually said the words 'don't ruin your reputation'.

Does he Lin Shihong still have a reputation? At the age of thirteen, he killed a boatload of people with his own hands, at the age of fourteen he began to **** women, and at the age of fifteen he got the notoriety of 'Poyang Blood Lord', and the three-year-old child didn't dare to cry at night when he heard it, he didn't know how many people he had killed for decades, and his son actually said that he was afraid of ruining his reputation.

Lin Shihong felt a deep disappointment, how could such a pedantic and cowardly son inherit his career?

At this time, Lin Shihong calmed down, and there was no longer the anger just now, he waved his hand and said: "Now that Zhang Xuan's army is pressing, we are in danger, don't care about these sesame trivial matters anymore, I have an important thing for you to do now." ”

Lin Zhengtai saw that his father had no intention of punishing the third and fourth brothers, and he was extremely disappointed, but he had no choice but to bow down and say, "Please ask my father to command!" ”

"You go to Jiangxia County quickly, before the Tang Army King Qin promised to send troops to help me fight against the Sui Army, but why did the Tang Army delay moving, if he wants any conditions, you also ask him to make it clear, as long as it is not too much, I can agree."

Lin Zhengtai was stunned, "Father let Tang Jun in, didn't he lead the wolf into the room?" ”

Lin Shihong's anger ignited in his chest again, and he said angrily: "I see that you are stupid in reading, the Tang army is plotting against Xiao Miao, not us, he must stop the Sui army from advancing westward, otherwise it will ruin their plans, do you understand?" ”

Lin Zhengtai did not agree with his father's point of view, but his father was already angry, and he didn't dare to argue anymore, so he had to admit his mistake and slowly retreat.

Lin Shihong watched his eldest son walk away, and couldn't help but feel unspeakably upset again, he felt that he needed to change his heir.

.........

Zhang Xuan led an army of 50,000 all the way to the west, rested in Jinhua County for two days, and then continued to go west, this afternoon, the army arrived in Yiyang County, Poyang County, from Lin Shihong's lair still more than 300 miles, but the mountains are blocked, the march is very difficult, these 300 miles will have to walk at least four or five days to reach Poyang County.

Yiyang County is the second largest county in Poyang County, quite rich in grain, when the army arrived in the county seat, the county commander Xu Qing led the county Cheng, the chief secretary and other officials to meet His Royal Highness the King of Qi, to Zhang Xuan's surprise is that there are still 20,000 stone grain in the county warehouse, which allows his 50,000 army to get food supplements.

This time, the Sui army marched westward with light soldiers, no baggage followed, each soldier carried six days of dry food, and got a supply in Jinhua County, Zhang Xuan originally planned to kill Lin Shihong's old nest Poyang County in one go, but he didn't expect that there would be food in Yiyang County, which solved his urgent need, which also shows that Lin Shihong did not expect that they would be killed from Dongyang County, otherwise there would be no food waiting for them in the county.

In the county office, Zhang Xuan and Fang Xuanling were listening to the county order's report, this march, Fang Xuanling fell ill because of fatigue, but he still supported the sick body, and Zhang Xuan listened to the county order's report on Poyang County's intelligence.

"Back to His Royal Highness, Weichen is an official appointed by the imperial court, not Lin Shihong, not only Weichen, all the officials in the counties controlled by Lin Shihong are appointed by the imperial court, we are not loyal to Lin Shihong, as long as the money and grain are paid on time, generally Lin Shihong will not come to find trouble."

"How much grain does Lin Shihong want?" Fang Xuanling asked.

"Twice a year, the summer harvest and the next month after the autumn harvest must be handed over grain, now the grain in the warehouse is still handed over last autumn grain, Lin Shihong has not been transported, as for the amount of the tax handed over and the same as the tax of the imperial court, but the household tax to add fifty percent, this is a bit difficult, but there is no way, everyone wants to break the wealth and avoid disasters, but since the year before, you can use fish and game to offset the household tax, although the price is very low, but many people would rather go to the water to fish, go hunting in the forest, these things are not worth much in the county."

"But how does Lin Shihong verify the household tax, and does he know how many households there are? Or do you send someone to check it every year? Fang Xuanling asked persistently.

Xu Xianling's expression was a little unnatural, and he hesitated for a moment and said: "Where will he come to check, he will collect money according to the number of people registered in the ten years of the Great Cause, and it has not changed in the past few years." ”

Zhang Xuan is so shrewd, he immediately saw through the reason for Xu County's unnatural expression, Meng Haigong caused trouble to Jiangnan, many families fled to Poyang County, Yiyang County's population in the past two years will inevitably increase, and the household tax will increase accordingly, but handing over Lin Shihong is still the same as before, where is the tax paid out, the answer is obviously easy to see.

However, Zhang Xuan didn't want to pursue this kind of thing for the time being, and when he saw that Fang Xuanling still had the intention of asking, he interrupted Fang Xuanling's question with a smile, "Let's talk about the army!" How many garrisons did Lin Shihong have in Poyang County. ”

Xu Xianling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "Back to Your Highness, although Poyang County is Lin Shihong's lair, he does not have many troops in Poyang County, only Poyang County has a garrison, about 30,000 people. ”

"What's the fastest way to get to Poyang County from here?" Zhang Xuan asked again.

"There is no fastest, there is only one road, go north along the Yishui, it will take about four days to reach Panyang County, if His Royal Highness wants to go to Poyang County, Weichen can requisition a hundred small boats in the county, and the army can transport the grain away."

Zhang Xuan was overjoyed, of course this is the best, he hurriedly asked, "How much time does it take to requisition the boat?" ”

"Tomorrow one day will be enough."

Zhang Xuan nodded, "Then it's bothering Xu County." ”

The county order said goodbye and left, Fang Xuanling said coldly: "This county order must be greedy for a lot of money and food, and seeing his weak heart, he can't wait to personally carry a knife to atone for his sins." ”

Zhang Xuan said lightly: "This is not my territory yet, I don't want to ask about this kind of thing for the time being, I only think about how to exterminate Lin Shihong now." ”

"His Royal Highness can't beat Lin Shihong in Poyang County, our army is in Yiyang County, someone will definitely report to Lin Shihong, and when we kill Poyang County, they have already hid in the big lake."

Speaking of this, Fang Xuanling frowned and said: "The key is to know yourself and your opponent, we don't know anything about Lin Shihong's information now!" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, "Please rest assured that we will get the most detailed information about Lin Shihong." ”

.........

Lin Shihong's army is divided into three systems, the first is the navy, with about 40,000 people and more than 500 warships, which is also the capital of Lin Shihong's family, which has been firmly controlled by him until last autumn, when he handed over the navy to his second son Lin Zhengwei.

The second army is Lin Zhenghong's direct elite infantry, about 30,000 people, which is still controlled by him, but the specific commanders are his third son, fourth son and son-in-law Zhao Fang, each in charge of 10,000 troops, Lin Shihong is not an outsider, and all elite armies are controlled by his son or son-in-law.

The third army is about 60,000 people, called the Tiger and Leopard Coalition Army, with a nice name, but it is actually a miscellaneous army with a chaotic source, led by six generals each with 10,000 troops, both equipment and combat effectiveness are relatively weak, and his eldest son Lin Zhengtai led the 30,000 troops to Dongyang County to prepare for Meng Haigong.

After Lin Zhengtai returned from Dongyang County, this army was diverted to Jiujiang County, but the 30,000 troops in the camp outside Poyang City were Lin Shihong's direct elite army, they only followed Lin Shihong's whereabouts, where Lin Shihong went, they would appear, basically from the whereabouts of this army can judge Lin Shihong's location.

At noon, a general with a dozen followers rushed from the direction of the county seat, turned over and dismounted in front of the big camp, and the captain on duty smiled flatteringly: "General Lu is back!" ”

This general is called Lu Ping, who is the younger brother of the Lu brothers who came to Lin Shihong from Tong'an County, because the Lu brothers and Lin Shihong are the same township and village, and brought a lot of food and armor, they are quite valued by Lin Shihong, and they are named their generals, and they are incorporated into the 30,000 directly subordinate army, and the boss of the two brothers is Lin Shihong's fourth son, Lin Zhengbiao.

Lu Ping snorted, threw the reins of the war horse to his subordinates, and walked quickly towards the barracks.
