Chapter Eighty-Six: Covert Means
Fighting broke out on the border, and people fled and were displaced. Wang Lin and Jiang Shilang joined forces to repel the enemy army, and the enemy army retreated to the opposite side of the border river, intending to make a comeback.
"I really didn't expect it to go so smoothly this time." Jiang Shilang looked at the vast river, and on the other side was the traitor's station. They fought several battles with the traitors, and the victors were the majority.
"But they're too pestering, it's been more than half a month, are they planning to die?" According to Wang Lin's past experience, the average coach would order a retreat or even surrender when he encountered this situation, but he didn't expect to be able to fight them for so long this time.
"Do you mean they have a back-up move, or are they waiting for reinforcements to arrive this time?" Jiang Shilang didn't think of this, there are always many variables on the battlefield, and besides, the soldiers are not tired of cheating, they can't relax at this time.
"But the soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, we just need to do a good job of defense, don't think about the rest." Wang Lin thought of Jian Yao in his heart, half a month has passed, and I don't know what happened to her, has she woken up, and the toxicity can be lifted?
And in the past half a month, since the first encounter, the battle situation has been transmitted back to the imperial city, and the emperor is naturally in control of the situation at all times. Although it is said that the generals are outside and the military orders are not subject to it, this time the emperor also wants to test Wang Lin.
The emperor has already become suspicious of Wang Lin, and he will not easily eliminate it. I heard that the generals and soldiers in the army were very convinced of Wang Lin, and they felt that their power was threatened. Now that Wang Lin has prestige not only in the court, but also in the army, wouldn't it be easy for Wang Lin to rebel if he continues like this?
"Your Majesty, nine thousand years old is certainly brave and resourceful, but when he returns victorious, how should the emperor reward him? The title of 9,000 years old is already the highest, and if it is rewarded again, wouldn't it be to ...... with the emperor" The ministers under him want to stop talking, but just by saying it, people can also know what they mean next.
The emperor calmed down, "I have my own plans for this matter, do you have anything else to say?" ”
The ministers at the bottom talked about some things, but the words were still about Wang Lin's high achievements and excessive power.
If a person is suspicious, it will be difficult to dispel it, let alone the emperor who has been in a high position for a long time? It is said that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, the emperor's mind is the most unpredictable, and now that Wang Lin is at the border, he can't care about the court.
And the minister who has always been unaccustomed to Wang Lin, and the minister who stands on the opposite side of Wang Lin has made up his mind to pull Wang Lin down this time. There is only one chance, otherwise when Wang Lin returns to the palace, it will never be possible.
The leader is Lord Shangshu Lord Lin, Lord Lin has always been unaccustomed to this eunuch in power, with the emperor's favor, he can still let him sit in the position of nine thousand years old, which really makes them resentful.
"I said, Lord Lin, this time the prince has won a big victory at the border, if he comes back, I am afraid that there will be no existence of our people in the future." Lord Zhang on the side has a sharp-beaked monkey cheek face, which is quite a bit of a thief's eyebrows.
"Hmph, how could the old man not know, it's just that this Wang Lin has always been cautious in his daily life, and it is difficult to grasp the handle." Lord Lin also had a headache about this matter, he investigated and monitored Wang Lin more than once, but he found nothing, and he wanted to give up several times.
"Lord Lin, the lower officials have heard of something here." Lord Zhang smiled treacherously, "I heard that at that time, the Ink Shadow Gate was destroyed, and there was a very powerful killer in the Ink Shadow Gate, has Lord Lin ever heard of it?" ”
Lord Lin nodded, "Naturally, that killer is the number one killer of the Ink Shadow Sect, and his martial arts are very powerful, and he was not caught in that strangulation." ”
Who knew that Lord Zhang shook his head, "Lord Lin doesn't know, at that time, someone saw that the prince and the killer were fighting, and who knew that he was released in the end." ”
Master Lin was shocked, what, it was actually Wang Lin who let him go, "What you said is true?" ”
"Naturally, it's true, the people I saw that day still know the officials." Lord Zhang also wanted to pull Wang Lin off the stage, but he didn't want to take action himself, so he borrowed a knife to kill people, and Lord Lin was a good knife.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect it, it turns out that there is still this thing. Hearing what Master Zhang said, the old man came up with a plan. Lord Lin touched his goatee and smiled proudly.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Lord Zhang curried favor on the side, coaxing Lord Nalin very happily.
However, the situation on the battlefield is really changing rapidly, just now it was still light, and now it is a situation where mountains and rains are coming.
"I didn't expect them to attack again, but this method is too despicable." Jiang Shilang angrily hammered the table. The other party took advantage of the night to sneak attack, catching them off guard.
"Okay, it's useless to talk about it now, it's better to concentrate on the battle, but to see what other means they have." Wang Lin looked solemnly at the sound of swords and soldiers intersecting in front of him, as well as the sound of shouting and killing, it was another sleepless night.
It's just that this time the other side's soldiers seem to be very brave, and according to the past, it is impossible to fight the battlefield so hard.
"What's going on, did they do it on purpose the first few times, just to make us let our guard down?" Jiang Shilang looked at the soldiers who kept falling, and his heart was also anxious.
"I'm afraid we don't have enough troops." Wang Lin had already thought about going into battle in person. And Jiang Shilang on the side also knew that the situation was urgent, but he didn't want the voice of a large group of people to suddenly come from a distance.
"Oh no, that's ...... Their reinforcements! Jiang Shilang pointed ahead, his right hand clenching his sword.
Because of the addition of reinforcements, they were even more defeated, Jiang Shilang took a sip and personally rode his horse to fight.
Wang Lin had already ordered someone to notify him quickly and send reinforcements over.
However, in the court in the palace, Wang Lin's release of Qingyue was presented to the public.
Originally, if he had said it to the emperor in private, there would still be room for discussion or postponement, but now that everyone is watching, even if it is fake, the emperor must order a thorough investigation before he can give an explanation to the ministers.
However, it was at this time that he received a tip-off that Wang Lin had given several orders and asked for reinforcements.
The emperor hesitated at this time, not to mention whether what this person said about Wang Lin's collusion with the Moying Gate was true or false, just by sending reinforcements, he Wang Lin knew that how many people and horses there were in the nearest army now, that was almost a quarter of the total, such a huge number, if it was really sent over, how could he rest assured? If Wang Lin's lying about the military situation is false, and the self-respect of the army is true, what should be done?
And Lord Lin saw that the emperor was in a dilemma, and knew that his opportunity had come, so he took the lead in proposing, "Your Majesty, it's better to let the lower officials go with the army, so that the emperor can rest assured." ”
The border war can't wait, but the suspicion in the emperor's heart is also difficult to dispel. Since this is the case, the emperor waved his hand and agreed to Lord Lin's proposal.
However, Lord Lin naturally wouldn't let the reinforcements go so smoothly, it was already rectified, but Lord Lin didn't get on the road for a long time.
The leader had been here several times, but Lord Lin always shirked it for various reasons, saying that there were still soldiers who were not ready, that it was inconvenient to walk in the dark, and that it was as long as it could be delayed.
Finally, two hours later, we set off.
However, Lord Lin had known the situation at the border for a long time, so he naturally estimated the time.
And Wang Lin was waiting for reinforcements in the camp tent but did not come, and the soldiers in front frequently came to report, saying that they could not hold on to the rapid advance, Wang Lin thought that he was afraid that someone would die here, but he couldn't ignore the war.
So in order to boost morale, he decided to go into battle himself. Although this method worked, it was really a disparity in strength, even if Wang Lin could fight one enemy with a hundred, he couldn't stand the tactics of crowds.
By the time reinforcements arrived, there would have been a river of blood on the battlefield. After annihilating those traitors, Wang Lin's body was never found.
"Lord Lin, I didn't find the prince." A soldier came to report.
Lord Lin clenched his hands into fists and looked at the battlefield filled with the smell of blood, "With such a tragic battle situation, it is not too early to imagine people." The prince defended his family and the country at the cost of his life, which really makes me admire. Lord Lin said this, and the soldier quickly understood.
