Chapter 327: Temptation
The city of Nanjing was blessed by heaven, and the battle lasted until the night of the same day, when it rained a freezing rain mixed with light snow.
The city and the city are all dumb and fighting.
The crashing car knocked the jack gate of Nanjing City out of a big hole, the iron sheet was dented, and the wood inside was ridged.
But the jack gate has not been broken.
After all, it is a companion capital, and just with the cannon of Jiancheng, it can resist such a long attack.
During the day the next day, the heavy rain still did not stop, and the rebellious army that had not deceived the soldiers in Nanjing finally withdrew their troops and returned to the camp.
The heavy rain fell for a long time, washing away all the blood stains on and off the city, and even the smell of gunpowder was gone. Jiubao shivered from the cold, and he was still wrapped in the clothes he wore in the middle of winter, and he was going to enter Lin He's tent.
"General Lin Bing." Jiubao lifted the curtain and poked his head in, just as he saw Lin He drinking medicine.
Since he received 40 strokes of the board and had a high fever, his health has not been very good, and the medicine has not been broken.
"Eh, I'm afraid it's not the right time for our family to come" Jiubao lifted the curtain to enter or not, and the rain outside rushed in, making Lin He shiver.
Lin He hurriedly beckoned people in: "It's okay, the governor just come in." ”
Jiubao hung the umbrella at the door of the tent, stretched out his hand to the burning charcoal basin, spread his paws, and sighed: "It's really cold this day." The winter days have been long in the past few years, and there is no short time, even Jiangnan is so cold, not to mention the capital, it is estimated that it will still snow. ”
Lin He sighed and said with a smile: "Yes." He put the medicine bowl on the table and asked Jiubaodao, "The Governor has come to me, is there anything to discuss?" ”
"I'm just here to ask the general soldiers, I don't know if the news of Vice General Mu's last return has been sent to the imperial court, and the reinforcements don't know where they are, this Nanjing City...... What should I do? Jiubao lifted the hem of his robe and sat on the chair, "According to our family, fate is important, this is the first time that our family has been supervising the army, I didn't expect to encounter such a situation, I am really panicked in my heart." Lin Zongbing, our family thinks about the people in Nanjing - not to mention the so-called 'righteousness', the people of Nanjing probably think the same way I do, they are all ordinary people, and it is not a shame to be greedy for life and afraid of death. I see that this adult is quite a bit of a jade burner, this ...... It's not necessary. If General Lin can protect the lives of the people in Nanjing, isn't this also for the well-being of the people! ”
He licked his lips and added at the end: "You can persuade Lord Lian, really, if all the people in a city die, it doesn't mean anything." Besides, this chaotic army was originally also a common people, isn't it time for us to be criticized for 'having the ability to fight our own people'! ”
"Lord Lian is a stupid speech official, who speaks like that on weekdays, he doesn't care about the truth at all, he only knows how to express his lofty words, and how can he know that it is difficult to march and fight. I guess I can't persuade him to come back, but he was born in the Metropolitan Procuratorate before he was released, who can be as good as the official and imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Lin He shook his head, looking quite helpless.
As soon as he finished saying this, he saw Jiubao speak: "This ...... How should this be good, or not...... Why don't we persuade him? ”
"Don't bother the Governor." Lin He saw that Jiubao's expression was not worried, so he smiled at Jiubao, "Actually, you don't always have to look at Lord Lian's face in this matter, I am at the same level as him." I'll just settle this matter myself. ”
In the heavy rain, someone in Nanjing fell out of the city with a rope.
This person is Lin He's personal guard, and he is a sturdy young man in his teens.
He was soaking wet and ran in the rain.
By the time he got to the place, it was already the middle of the night, and the camp was pitch black, but he could faintly hear the sound of rain hitting iron.
Even if the guard was blindfolded, he could tell that it was the sound of heavy rain hitting his armor.
Soon, the people in the camp spotted him, and he felt the tip of a knife against the back of his waist, as if it had passed through his thick clothes of early spring against his flesh, and it hurt coldly.
The visitor asked, "Who?" ”
He knew that this was the sentry of the rebellious army, so he hurriedly shouted: "Uncle spare your life!" Don't kill me, the two sides will not fight and do not kill, I am sent by Lin He, the chief soldier of Fujian and Zhejiang, to negotiate peace with you! ”
The sentry was also a young man, to put it honestly, he was a half-grown child, and he didn't know what to do, so he had to viciously put the guard's hand behind him, and continued to hold the tip of the knife against him, saying, "Don't try to play tricks, hurry up!" ”
This guy was held hostage by the little sentry to see his own Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi only managed a few people, where did he know what to do, so he found several people to look at the guard, sat on a chair and interrogated: "You said that you are the personal guard of Lin He, the general soldier of Fujian and Zhejiang, and you came to negotiate peace on his behalf, so what evidence do you have to prove that you are Lin He's personal guard?" ”
The little flag official's words were awkward, and the guards listened to it for a long time before they could tell what the little flag said to him, so he said: "I have the private seal of General Lin on my body, you can know it when you touch it." ”
His hands were tied, so he had to use his chin to point in the direction, and he took it off and tapped his chest.
The group of people reacted immediately, touched his chest with all hands and feet, and sure enough, it was stuffed hard. This little flag gave birth to the hand, and it really felt a seal.
A group of people turned over and looked at it, but they couldn't understand the seal characters written on the seal, so they could only continue to tie up the guard, and go up from the small flag to find a higher level of chief.
Lin He's personal guards were tied to the tent, and the little guards who had just caught him were arranged to watch him, and the child was honest, so he stared at the person motionlessly, without even blinking his eyes.
These two people stared at each other for a long time before Lin He's private seal was handed to Gong Laoba's hand layer by layer.
In the middle of the night, Gong Laoba couldn't help but be woken up by Lin and this guard, and even Lao Jiang was woken up together, and the two of them studied Lin He's private seal for a long time, but they didn't come up with a reason.
"I haven't seen Lin He's private seal, where can I tell if it's true or fake." Gong Lao Ba rubbed the seal, and his fingers were dyed with some red ink, "Old Jiang, do you think this matter is credible?" ”
Lao Jiang pinched his chin: "It's not a day or two that the Chinese and martial arts in Nanjing City have been in discord, and their Fujian and Zhejiang generals are just mediocre people, and they can't get on the stage...... Under such circumstances, differences in peace and resistance will inevitably arise. I think it's better to get in touch with him first. ”
