Chapter Ninety-Four: Their Purpose Is The Imperial City
For several days in a row, Chen's army was like a bamboo, winning one victory after another.
Lin Changtian listened to the military situation, his face was slightly cold, and he squinted his eyes, "I feel that they are cheating, these battles are too smooth, I sent out several soldiers in Da Chen, all of them died under Hongchou's hands, and even General Chu was captured, but Hongchou has not had a head-to-head confrontation until now, and it is possible to directly attack the capital north, so that my Chen army is trapped by Jin Chou and cannot look back on the imperial city." ”
Chu Ruojun listened to Lin Changtian's analysis, and couldn't help but want to give him a thumbs up, although he didn't know much about military affairs, he just felt that these battles were particularly unreasonable, which battle didn't kill thousands of people, but these battles, there were not a few people killed at all, and every time it ended with the retreat of the Golden Wing.
However, she just felt that something was abnormal, but she didn't expect that Hongchou might attack the imperial city directly, and suddenly she was a little impressed by Lin Changtian, it seemed that he was just angry with himself.
Chu Ruojun's brows furrowed slightly, and she asked again, "But will the people of the Jin Kingdom really go to attack the imperial city?" ”
Lin Changtian smiled, "We don't know where the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Jin Kingdom are now, and we have already sent spies to investigate the situation." ”
Chu Ruojun nodded, "What you said makes a lot of sense." ”
Lin Changtian looked at Chu Ruojun's stunned appearance, and a slight smug smile appeared on his face, "You are here, protecting the emperor." ”
In case he really met Hongchou who went to attack the imperial city, that scene was definitely not a joke.
Chu Ruojun thought for a moment and nodded.
Soon, there was some hesitation on her face, and she said: "However, will the emperor not agree to you leading the troops to change the route, after all, the emperor wants to keep fighting." ”
Lin Changtian looked at Chu Ruojun, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "The general is outside, and the military order is not subject to it." ”
Chu Ruojun and Lin Changtian looked at each other and smiled, and the two of them left the commander's camp very tacitly and went to find the emperor.
It just so happened that Gonggong Fan, who was named a general, also came in, and the expressions of both of them were a little serious.
After Lin Changtian finished his speculation, the emperor listened to his words, and was a little worried that it was really as he guessed, and the people of the Jin Kingdom took advantage of the situation to attack the imperial city.
But after listening to Lin Changtian's military briefing, Father-in-law Fan's face was slightly cold, and he squinted his eyes and asked, "I also want to lead 30,000 soldiers to pursue the victory." ”
The emperor's face was a little ugly, this proposal Fan Gonggong had already put forward it, and the emperor also felt that Lin Changtian's plan was too risky, if the people of the Jin Kingdom did not attack the imperial city, Lin Changtian took tens of thousands of soldiers in vain to defend an irrelevant road to the imperial city, wouldn't it be a joke.
Gonggong Fan glanced at Lin Changtian and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, when our army is like a bamboo, we should take advantage of the victory to pursue, defeat the Jin royal court in one fell swoop, capture Hongqiao alive, and save my Da Chen's captured soldiers, Lin Shaoshuai used to fight with Lin Shuai, with Lin Shuai's guidance, now it seems that without Lin Shuai, Lin Changtian is nothing powerful." ”
Lin Changtian's eyes were fierce and cold, and he said coldly: "You are so powerful, why didn't I see you go to the battlefield and kill the enemy bravely." ”
Chu Ruojun couldn't help but mutter, you are so powerful, the young marshal will let you do it.
She coughed lightly and said, "Father-in-law Fan, Young Marshal Lin is talking about military affairs, I don't know why Father-in-law Fan wants to attack individuals, is it to demean others to show your strength?" ”
Gonggong Fan was anxious, pointed at Chu Ruojun and said coldly: "Whether you are the princess's guard or the current soldier, there is no place for you to speak here, and women's knowledge is short-sighted." ”
"Then you're still neither a man nor a woman!" Chu Ruojun was most tired of someone holding on to her gender, so she immediately retorted.
What she said was very heavy.
According to age, Father-in-law Fan is several generations older than her, and according to rank, Father-in-law Fan is also a general appointed by the emperor.
In front of the emperor and Young Marshal Lin, Chu Ruojun said such ruthless words, so that the old face of Gonggong Fan really had no place to rest.
"You ......" Fan Gong was so angry that his body was trembling, he was too angry to stop arguing with her, but instead said in a cold voice: "There are sentry posts on the way to the imperial city, if the people of the Jin Kingdom pass by there, there will inevitably be a battle report." ”
"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows and said, "Then wait until the battle report comes, if the Jin soldiers do not go to the imperial city, I will rest here for two days, and I will take advantage of the victory to pursue." ”
That's all there is to it.
So this time, neither Lin Changtian nor Father-in-law Fan had the right to lead the troops.
However, not long after returning to the main general's tent, Chu Ruojun's head was on the pillow and he was about to fall asleep, when he heard a herald running in, "Report-"
Immediately afterwards, a soldier came over with a bloodstained scout, and Lin Changtian opened the tent and strode in front of him.
As soon as the scout came in, he shook off the people who were supporting him next to him, fell to the ground, and screamed to Lin Changtian: "Young marshal, the people of the Jin Kingdom have attacked the sentry post, and they have also ambushed and killed us from coming back to report the news, and the people who came back together, only the villain escaped back." ”
Lin Changtian's slender figure shook, "Then, the people who went to the Imperial City to report the news must have also been intercepted and killed, so the Imperial City didn't know that the Jin Kingdom army had already gone north." ”
Everyone was stunned by the news, and it was unusually quiet for a while.
This can be explained, they first sent Jin Yi to delay, Hongchou led the army to attack the outpost, and specially sent cavalry to stay behind to ambush the scouts, it seems that their original plan was to quietly go north.
"To the north?" Gonggong Fan said to himself, "Don't be afraid, isn't there Lin Shuai guarding this imperial city, nothing will happen." ”
Lin Changtian's face seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, so cold that there was no trace of temperature, he just silently looked at the scout lying on the ground and thought about it, suddenly his eyes tightened, and he shouted loudly: "Reinforcements!" ”
The emperor was slightly stunned and understood what Lin Changtian meant, and his face couldn't help but change, and he asked with some hesitation: "No, the army defending the country is not so easy to deal with." ”
"Hurry up and send someone to inform the Imperial City, and the death must be sent over before the Jin people rush over!" Lin Changtian said hatefully.
Unfortunately, in either case, Hongchou expected it and left a way to deal with it.
Lin Changtian led 30,000 people to urgently aid the imperial city, and there were less than 70,000 soldiers left, and the combat power was reduced, which was a good time for Golden Wing to start.
Chu Ruojun was at a loss at this time, as soon as Lin Changtian left, the inexperienced emperor and Fan Gonggong, who would only pry the emperor, were left, this was a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!
If Lin Changtian does not go to reinforcements, then Hong Chip will lead a large army to attack the imperial city, if Lin Changtian goes, he can take the opportunity to fight with Lin Changtian, giving Golden Wing the opportunity and time to attack the emperor.
At that time, even if Lin Changtian guards the way to the imperial city, Hongchoi can still come back, and when the time comes, Jin Yi can't say for sure, he has already taken it.
It's over, it's over, Hongchou is really vicious!
Chu Ruojun only felt that she was very flustered in her heart, and this flustered feeling accompanied her for a few days, and it was completely effective.
Lin Changtian led his troops to aid the imperial city, but was attacked by the cavalry led by Hongchou on the way.
In the night, Jin Yi led the army into the unprepared Chen State military camp, and the soldiers rushed into battle, leaving only the continuous fire and scarlet blood as far as the eye could see.
Chu Ruojun hung his head and gritted his teeth, looking at the person who was still alive in the last second, and in the next second, his abdomen was pierced by a spear that came out of nowhere, and blood flowed down the head of the spear, he lowered his head and watched the red tip of the spear pull out of his body.
Chu Ruojun held the sword, fought bravely all the way, found the Nine Desolations in a melee, and pulled him to prepare to escape.
The task given to her by Lin Changtian is to protect the emperor's safety, but now, the defeat is decided, the emperor will most likely be captured, and the Jin people will definitely not kill the emperor, because they still have to take the emperor to the court in exchange for ransom.
And the purpose of her coming was to rescue General Chu, who was violent, thinking that her martial arts were acceptable, so she could steal the place where the enemy was captive and quietly let them go, but now she deeply realized that her strength, in front of Jin Bing, was simply a mantis arm blocking the car.
She wants to hide, live, and join Lin Changtian again, and wait until he leads the reinforcements, and then attack the Jin people together.
Jiuhuang's eyes widened, and the screams around him continued, "Desertion is a capital crime!" ”
Chu Ruojun said in a deep voice: "Anyway, I'm not a soldier, I got in without permission, I want to save my father, it's impossible to save people now, if you don't go, I'll go!" ”
After speaking, she glanced at Jiuhuang and ran away.
Jiuhuang didn't answer, but he also ran away with her.
At this time, the city gate had already opened, and Jin Yi said with a smile: "Go quickly, it's too late, but it will be robbed, and there will be nothing." ”
The adjutant general beside him hurriedly rode his horse and followed, dissuading: "General, the emperor has ordered that the city must not be slaughtered!" ”
Jin Yi is not an obedient lord either, hearing him take out his father and suppress people, he was even more annoyed in his heart, glanced at the deputy general, and asked, "If my brother slaughters the city, what will my father say?" ”
The adjutant general's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he said: "General Hongchou ordered in the past that anyone who encounters a heroic person who kills the enemy will leave a life, and those who flee will be killed." ”
"My brother cherishes talents, and wants to leave them a way to live and let them serve the Jin country, but how can a real hero do treason." Jin Yi pulled the reins slightly and slowed down a few steps, and said with a smile: "I am different from him, for the sake of Jin Guo, I should kill the strong people who bravely killed the enemy in Chen Guo, and leave the weak ones who fled and surrendered, so that the rest of Chen Guo are all people who escaped from the battle." ”
The adjutant general choked and couldn't speak, and it was not unreasonable for Jin Yi to say this.
Before the expedition, the emperor deliberately explained that he was not allowed to slaughter the city, Jin Yi was young and frivolous, and his temperament was hot, so he deliberately patted himself by his side to dissuade him from doing things too much.
