Chapter 725: The Situation Reverses
It's just that things seem to have developed beyond everyone's expectations.
Civil war was inevitable.
Now it is no longer a battle for the throne, but a battle for those forces to compete for their own right to speak.
Most people believe that the Lin family is more likely to win.
The plight of the northerners is worthy of sympathy. They also train hard and are fierce, but the gap in resources is incomparable.
Of the various resources that can circulate in the North, none of them pass from the South.
The Lin family has a lot of manpower in commerce and logistics, and only need to ban iron ore, leather, and medicinal herbs to greatly affect the combat effectiveness of the northern coalition army, and how many resources can they have?
Isn't it logistical resources that are competing in war?
Even more ruthlessly, some grain is not provided to the north, because the crops produced in the north are already small, and if there is not enough food at that time, it will be fish and meat to be slaughtered.
This is still a situation where you can fall into a protracted war, competing for resource consumption.
It's still ideal.
You must know that the Northern Coalition Army will face the elite 80,000 elite troops of the Kyoto battalion led by Lin Hong, as well as the local army, which is amazing in combat, especially Lin Hong's record, except for repeated defeats in the face of the Budding Sect, it is very powerful at other times.
He has rich combat experience and is also strong in cultivation, so he can be both a commander and a general.
Don't think about assassination or anything, no one can beat Lin Hong, unless it is those early stage martial artists of the Innate Realm who make a move, can such a person join forces to come over? It seems unlikely.
At least the coalition forces don't seem to be able to come up with a huge value to make the price of the early stage martial artists of the Innate Realm attack.
Even people who wanted to befriend the Lin family began to think about how to make congratulatory gifts and the like, congratulating the Lin family for defeating the rebellion and the like.
It's just that within a few days, shocking facts emerged.
Lin Hong led his troops into the north, but the expected counterinsurgency did not appear, but there was a civil strife, and I heard that there were some dead and wounded.
Just when some people thought that these coalition forces had the means, they also buried such chess pieces under the control of the Lin family, but they were discovered before they played a role, and sure enough, the Lin family's methods were superior.
Then when the news of Lin Hong's troops and the coalition army came over, many people were stunned.
How did Lin Hong get in touch with the people of the coalition army, aren't they enemies?
What Lin Hong did was not to betray the Lin family, but why did he do this, the conditions in the Lin family were so superior, what could the coalition give him so much temptation?
Thinking about the changes in the Lin family during this time, the answer may be about to surface.
Lin Xian may not be a simple illness, I'm afraid it was his son's hand.
Brothers, the wall.
No one thought that the two people who were called the Lin family's Qilin'er suddenly had such a contradiction.
Isn't it just right to play to their strengths? And the brothers and friends in the weekdays, are they all acted?
Such scheming is too deep. It's all a routine.
There was some chaos within the Lin family.
Some support Lin Hong, and some support Lin De.
Lin Hong suddenly turned back, and these people were also caught off guard, because they didn't know Lin Hong's plan at all.
They support Lin Hong's seizure of the throne, but they don't support Lin Hong attacking the Lin family in turn, isn't this self-destruction of the Great Wall? The Lin family's industry doesn't have to unite with outsiders to eat inside and out?
The men were quickly arrested by Linde. Then he singled out some typical people in Kyoto to be ruthless on the spot, and announced Lin Hong's betrayal, Lin Xian was seriously ill and could not be a director, and the Lin family was temporarily managed by Lin De.
Lin De solved the hidden danger in the shortest possible time, and at the same time connected the Lin family up and down, twisting it into a rope.
At the same time, the various forces running above the court, relying on their incorruptible tongue and the hidden power left by Lin Xian, have gained a lot of support, and all parts of the south have been mobilized, and a large number of strategic materials have been passively used.
The true essence of the Lin family was revealed.
The members of the Lin family, as well as the private soldiers of other forces, were mobilized, and they all clearly knew that if the people in the north succeeded, they would definitely have no good end.
After all, they were the previous winners, and those northerners were the losers.
If it is reversed, their current life will probably be far away from them, so for the sake of their current status and life, these people will also choose to calm down and stabilize with the Lin family, even if they sacrifice more things, they are not afraid.
What they've been saving up over the years has been guarded against.
It's okay to say that the other families, especially the equipment that the Lin family took out, is really enviable.
Heavy armor, war horse. Crossbow arrows, it's all strategic resource level and something like that.
And it's not like a few pieces are all cars that can't be seen at a glance, and they have never been used.
With the astonishing wealth that the Lin family has accumulated over the years, it is hard to imagine how much there will be.
Money is a number for the Lin family.
Although money is not everything, it is really easy to use.
Lin Hong took away the elite 80,000 Kyoto battalions.
And the palace forbidden army has also disappeared some of the core high-level, needless to say, it must have run away, I heard that they tried to take away the little emperor before, so as to achieve the justifiable goal, but it was not successful.
Linde left a lot of eyeliner around the little emperor, which could protect the little emperor from being disturbed by outsiders.
The palace guards were successfully co-opted, and without the core leadership and the people who were the Lin family themselves, how could they resist.
With these people as veterans and the private soldiers of various forces as recruits, a new monarch was formed.
Even Linde and others have already developed a strategy.
Exchanging space for time, the run-in of the new army takes time, and it also needs to adapt to new equipment. If you go straight to the battlefield without any training, you are being the captain of a transport brigade, and a fool would do such a thing.
They were ready to use Kyoto as their intended place of battle, which was advantageous and depended on luck.
In terms of human cooperation, in addition to the forces of the various families contacted by Linde, he also reached a cooperation with Yang Yutao, and the other departments of the frontier will not do it, and can even help them with basic training.
Lin De also has brains, he guesses that Lin Hong's confidence may have something to do with the people of the upper realm, and those fools in the north are not so easy to let Lin Hong make such a decision, their status is not enough.
Now Linde doesn't know what the attitude of the upper realm is, but he did not let his guard down, and came forward to ease the relationship himself, and at the same time used various means to continuously monitor and protect the other parts of the frontier.
These sheep tongues don't care, they should train and train, they should eat and eat, everything is as usual. It seems like he doesn't care.
Then there is another key problem, Linde's side needs time, and the same is true for Lin Hong's side.
Without the logistical support of the Lin family, the various combined forces can indeed support it for a period of time, but then the Lin family's resources will be more fully mobilized, and it will be even more difficult to deal with at that time.
Therefore, Lin Hong's victory requires a quick battle, and the most effective means to achieve the greatest results in a short period of time is to weaken the enemy's vital forces, gain an advantage, and enhance his combat effectiveness through the method of fighting and nourishing the war.
So he may choose to run thousands of miles, or even go directly to Kyoto.
Choose the shortest time to end the battle.
He also had the experience of running.
So Lin Hong may not have such a possibility.
So how should Linde's exchange space for time be achieved?
As I said before, Linde is now in charge of the Lin family, so he can mobilize a lot of things.
A lot of money can recruit a lot of people.
For the sake of money, many people can sell their lives.
Linde recruited a large number of outlaws, and these people also had the name of Skilled Fighters.
They are all people who work for money.
Dense crowds of people came to apply, and only needed to provide a simple blade. Even more of them bring their own blades, and they can choose a head at random and go directly to the front line, as long as they sign up, there will be a lot of bounty, and if they die, there will be a larger amount of pension.
This recruitment is not only for the Onishi Dynasty, but for the whole world.
The Lin family's wealth for many years has been squandered.
Even with the accumulated favors and the heavy treasures in the treasure house, he also invited several masters, which was enough to deal with Lin Hong, a person with strong individual combat ability, not to mention being able to kill him, at least to be able to restrict his actions.
Linde's arrangement is very appropriate.
Also be wary of everyone who has a relationship with Lin Hong and has contact, because they are very likely to become Lin Hong's helpers, and they must be vigilant early.
And the first battle between the North and the South broke out.
Lin Hong did choose the method of fighting to feed the war.
After integrating the forces of the Northern Alliance, all the excellent war horses were gathered, only 10,000 were qualified, and the rest were worse, the Northland was already barren, and it would be good to raise so many.
As for the horses in the Kyoto camp, they need to rest well, and they will go to face the attack of the main force.
Lin Hong wants to lead the coalition army to win a battle first to build up their confidence, and these joint teams have the courage for a while because of the large number of people. But once frustrated, it is easy to lose patience, so Lin Hong has to be like a new soldier, let them see blood, enhance their confidence, and there can be no soldiers from the original Kyoto battalion, that will make them feel that they are paddling, and let them reflect the value they should have.
There's nothing more convincing than a great fight. Therefore, Lin Hong chose the elite of the 5,000 coalition army, and then in a very short period of time, one person and two horses raided a heavy land of grain and grass in the north of the Great Western Dynasty.
In fact, there are not many things here, just barely enough to arm 10,000 people, and there is not much food and grass, and if it were not for the emergency in the north, there would not be these things, so they were originally stored.
But this is a big gain for the coalition forces, and it can greatly boost morale.
Therefore, it has become Lin Hong's goal.
As a qualified general, Lin Hong can be said to be very clear about the terrain distribution within the Daxi Dynasty.
I even went to explore the terrain many times, which can be said to be very serious.
So such a place is familiar to Lin Hong.
These five thousand people are also carefully selected, and their combat ability is good, not to mention that they are led by Lin Hong.
The defenders trembled at the sight of Lin Hong's banner, let alone fighting.
There wasn't much resistance.
Lin Hong has a great reputation, and he has killed a lot of people on his hands, so few people are willing to fight him.
And he also became an idol in the hearts of young soldiers for a time, attracting many people.
Many young people went to the military capital and Lin Hong's scenery at that time was inseparable.
So there are too few who dare to swing a knife at him.
And don't think that by killing Lin Hong, you can gain Lin De's appreciation, and then you can live a life of pursuing Bai Fumei, that's too whimsical.
Anyway, he is also Linde's brother.
Think about it in the future, if things settle down, a brother who killed him will become an important person under him.
After a long time, I feel uncomfortable.
No matter how bad it is, there is a blood relationship and blood is thicker than water, people are a family, and you are always a foreigner.
Looking at the fate of some people who have done similar things in history, it may be glorious for a while, but it will definitely not be the one who has always been in their right.
It often ends up in a tragic end.
They always think that if you can kill a brother and relative who is of the same blood as me. So one day in the future, will you kill me again?
This is a very likely situation, and the mind of the superior can change at any time. The slightest suspicion will be infinitely magnified, and when the time comes, there will be no interest in being killed.
There have been many such examples, so no one dares to do anything to Lin Hong at all, and most of them are ordinary soldiers, as for the generals or something, they either ran away early, and the remaining two or three kittens couldn't support the scene, so they could only obediently obey.
This time the battle was very easy, Lin Hong broke through the garrison gate, and the cavalry behind followed and rushed in, and a wave of charges broke up the defenders and successfully absorbed them.
