Chapter 154 Harboring Evil Intentions
After returning to his camp, Lin Haotian immediately handed over a letter to Peng Qianxiu and reported the battle situation here to the Jin Imperial Court.
Peng Qian agreed again and again and intervened in the order.
With the voluntary surrender of the Xuanyuan side, the battle of Chijin, which lasted for a year, finally came to an end. At the beginning, the Red Kingdom and the Mu Kingdom joined forces to attack the Jin State, but now only a year has passed, the Red Army was defeated by the Jin Army led by Lin Haotian with lightning speed, and the more than 300,000 Jin troops who initially approached the Jin State are now only 80,000 horses, which has largely consumed the strength and strength of the Red State, and in a sense, it is also a reversal of the relationship between the Jin and the Red State.
After the fight, the Red Kingdom has never sent a single soldier to the Jin State, or the Red Country no longer has the strength to send troops to the Jin State, in this context, the Jin State seized every opportunity to cultivate and recuperate, and actively prepared for the rise of the country.
Lin Haotian led the army to rest in Shuangfeng City for two days, and just as he was still thinking about whether to support Wuling County, an urgent document from the imperial court first came.
In the document, Zhao Yu, the king of Jin, first fully affirmed Lin Haotian's military exploits, saying that he had made great achievements and immortal feats for the Dajin country, and was the first meritorious hero of the Jin country, etc., in addition, Zhao Yu also mentioned that since the defeat of the Red Army, the wooden army has also been shaken, and it seems that there is an intention to withdraw the army in recent days, and the offensive against Wuling County is no longer as fierce as before.
But in order to prevent unforeseen needs, Zhao Yu ordered to leave 50,000 horses in Shuangfeng City to garrison, and then Lin Haotian personally led the remaining 100,000 troops to immediately set off and rush to Wancheng, the national capital.
Looking at the documents issued by Zhao Yu, Lin Haotian thought twice. In the end, it was decided to leave the Third Army led by Dou Bo and Tao Hua to guard Twin Peaks.
Lin Haotian fully realized Dou Bo's ability in the battle to exterminate Fang Tianyang, after these days of observation, Lin Haotian has completely dispelled his concerns, in addition to these reasons, and Tao Hua as Dou Bo's deputy general, Lin Haotian can also rest assured.
After arranging these some. Lin Haotian took the rest of the generals and the 100,000 troops under his command and began to return to the capital.
The news that Lin Haotian led the army to defeat the Red Army had already spread, on the way back to Wancheng, the Jin army was welcomed by the cities and counties along the way, and before entering the city, the people had already welcomed out of the city, and they were sending water and food, and the praise received was endless, which made the Jin army a little fluttering.
Out of the wind outlet county. Lin Haotian recruited some recruits from some nearby villages and towns scatteredly, and the military appearance was even more grand, with an army of tens of thousands of people singing triumphant songs and returning to Wancheng, the capital of the country.
There was nothing to say all the way, and when the army approached Wancheng, under the orders of Zhao Yu, some ministers, generals and the surrounding people went out of the city for ten miles to greet them. As far as the eye can see, there is a surge of people. The black press is boundless and boundless.
Among the hundred officials, Tai Shuhong and Du Qing stood at the front, and saw Lin Haotian coming on horseback from a distance, Tai Shuhong was the first to step forward, although Du Qing was unwilling, but he still pretended to take a few steps forward. As a sign of welcome.
"General Lin led my Dajin soldiers, lived up to his mission, annihilated the red thief, and covered the world, he is really my Dajin hero!" Tai Shuhong stood in front of Lin Haotian's horse. He arched his hands and said with a smile.
Lin Haotian first glanced at Tai Shuhong, and then looked at the crowd in front of him, the corners of his mouth grinned, and he almost let out a loud daxiao, but he finally held back, turned over and dismounted without being rude, walked to Tai Shuhong, and said: "The prime minister has won the award, if there is no prime minister, all the lords, and generals sitting in the capital, I will not be so smooth in fighting the thieves outside, it can be said that to have this victory, the prime minister and you are also indispensable!" The generals returned the salute.
"Oh, General Lin is not arrogant, rare, really rare!"
"Yes, General Lin is really my No. 1 loyal servant of Dajin!"
"That's good!" General Lin ......."
Now that Lin Haotian has an official residence with a product, and he has military power in his hands, it is naturally indispensable to hold stinky feet, and many ministers seem to be deeply moved, and salute him again and again.
Uncle Tai Hong glanced left and right with a smile, and at the same time subconsciously looked at the sky, stepped forward to hold Lin Haotian's hands, and took the lead in saying: "Virtuous nephew, if it is late today, the virtuous nephew will temporarily live in the nearby post house tonight, and wait for tomorrow morning, and then meet the king with the old man." ”
Lin Haotian smiled slightly, nodded and responded: "Everything is arranged by the prime minister!"
When Uncle Tai Hong heard this, the smile on his face was even bigger, he patted Lin Haotian on the shoulder, and hahadaxiao said: "The virtuous nephew is really a cheerful person, I have ordered someone to arrange the banquet, we will not get drunk tonight!"
Seeing Tai Shuhong and Lin Haotian talking and laughing, Du Qing's face on the side was already difficult to see, and at the same time, he subconsciously clenched his fists......
The dinner arranged by Tai Shuhong is extraordinary, not only on a large scale, but also on a sumptuous banquet.
The banquet hall alone was nearly five meters high, about twenty meters long and wide, and the huge hall was full of people, all of whom were ministers of the court and the central government who had come with him, and groups of servants came in and out, shuttling through the crowd.
Lin Haotian is no stranger to this kind of banquet, but Ding Feng, Bi Wu and other generals are all surprised, and they feel new when they see everything.
The protagonist of tonight's banquet is Lin Haotian, and he naturally became the focus of everyone at the banquet, although many lowly ministers have already heard of Lin Haotian's name, but they have never met, so they took the opportunity of the banquet to see what kind of person he is.
During the banquet, Uncle Hong, who was sitting next to Lin Haotian, introduced the surrounding nobles to him from time to time, but no matter how smart Lin Haotian's brain was, he couldn't remember so many complicated names and surnames.
Finally waited for Tai Shuhong to introduce the names and surnames of the ministers, Lin Haotian changed his words and asked with a smile: "Prime Minister, how is the situation on the side of Mu Jun recently?"
Uncle Tai Hong smiled leisurely and said: "Since the withdrawal of the Red Kingdom, the Mu Kingdom has obviously become a lonely army, these days, they don't dare to make too big a move, according to the old man's estimate, the day of the withdrawal of the Mu Army is not far away!
Lin Haotian's face was straight, and he said: "Haotian, as a citizen of my Dajin country, protecting his family and defending the country, is originally a matter of responsibility, how dare he talk about any credit?"
Tai Shuhong nodded, and said with a smile: "It is indeed extraordinary for the virtuous nephew to be meritorious and not arrogant, but since he has made great contributions, he should accept the reward as a matter of course, and the virtuous nephew can rest assured, when tomorrow is above the court, I will definitely let the king reward you more." ”
"Then Haotian thanked the prime minister first!"
At this moment, Du Qing walked towards Lin Haotian surrounded by a group of people.
Just looking at the swaggering jiashi when he walked, Lin Haotian had a premonition that trouble was coming, and the ministers around him also seemed to sense that something was wrong, so they stopped talking and looked at them.
Du Qing walked directly to Lin Haotian, smiled, and asked hypocritically, "General Lin, are you satisfied with the food and drinks at the banquet?"
Lin Haotian remained silent and said indifferently: "It's not too good, it's not too bad." ”
Du Qing was stunned, then laughed angrily, he turned sideways slightly, turned his head and pointed to a strong man behind him, and said: "This is a domestic servant under me, who is good at fighting, competing with others, and has never been defeated." ”
Lin Haotian raised his eyes to look at the big man on Du Qing's fingers, the other party was indeed not an ordinary person, more than two meters tall, and his body was strong, like a big buffalo, with no hair on his head, light and bright, black skin, flat nose, thick lips turned out, and he knew that he was a fierce lord at a glance.
Lin Haotian looked at the big man, and the big man was also looking Lin Haotian up and down, only looked at it twice, his flat nose was forbidden, and he let out a heavy cold snort.
Du Qing raised his chin, squinted at Lin Haotian contemptuously, and said with a smile: "General Su asked General Lin's martial arts are very strong, the old man admires them, but I don't know how the fighting skills ......are?
