Chapter VI
Understated, plain-minded, determined, talented and indomitable, this is the impression that Sterling has left on the world. No one expected that after countless hardships and dangers, this generation of generals who were not born after Yarime, would actually fall in Wangdu Ridge on a snowy night.
He is the last pillar of the Zichuan family. Maybe it's because he's already under too much pressure, and when he falls, the Zichuan family will also be overturned.
Lin Bing prayed silently: "Lord Sterling, I am going back to the Far East to visit you on behalf of Commander Axiu." Holy and God, you have become a god, you have a spirit in the sky, please bless the family from extinction, and the Far Eastern Army will prosper...... Please also bless the safety of our Axiu Commander. ”
After bowing, Lin Bing took a step forward and sent the white rose in his hand. At this time, she saw that before herself, in front of Sterling's spiritual seat, there was already a bunch of white lilies, and the flowers were delicate and white.
Lin Bing was stunned, Di Lin's mutiny had been successful, the rebels had taken control of Gyeonggi and the surrounding areas, and the Governor's Mansion and the Holy Spirit Temple had fallen into the hands of the rebels. Although the rebels claimed that Sterling died at the hands of Luo Minghai, even the common people knew what the truth was. Who is so bold as to openly sacrifice Stirling? Isn't he afraid of being targeted by the rebels for revenge?
Lin Bing wiped the surface of the white marble stele, bowed again, and prayed silently in his heart: "Lord Sterling, farewell for the time being." When the royal master of the family regained his dìdū, the lower officials and the commander of Xiuchuan came to visit you together. You take care. ”
She looked up at the great eagle on the wall, stared at it for a long time, let out a long sigh, and then turned away.
In front of the door of the main hall, she stopped: in front of the door of the hall, among the flowers and pines and cypresses, the long figure of Di Lin stood quietly, and his bright eyes were staring at her. In his hand, he held a large bouquet of white lilies.
"Inspector General?"
The handsome man walked over and bowed slightly: "It's been a long time, Chief Lin." ”
Since the incident, Lin Bing saw Di Lin for the first time. When she was in the Far East, Dilin served under her. At that time, Di Lin's temperament was as sharp as a sharp blade, and he felt that it was dangerous to get close to him.
But the person in front of him ...... It seems to be a little different. His eyes are deep and clear, and there is a moving rhythmic beauty between his movements, which is pleasing to the eye. Today's Dilin seems to have been reborn, giving people an unfathomable feeling.
A sentence flashed in Lin Bing's mind: Meritorious deeds, heinous crimes!
"Was it a coincidence, Inspector General?"
Di Lin smiled, revealing his white teeth: "Of course it's not a coincidence, Chief Lin. I heard that you are going back to the Far East, and I am here to see you off. ”
"Here?"
"There are too many people in the office, and I don't like to go there and join in the fun. ”
Lin Bing pursed his lips tightly and did not make a sound. Dilin guessed that she was going to come to the Holy Spirit Hall before returning to the Far East - this devil who had a heart to figure out, she had a feeling that she was being seen through her whole body, which made her very uncomfortable.
She said lightly: "The working adults are flattered. ”
"Chief Lin......
"Chief Inspector, Your Excellency is far above me, so there is no need to mention the word Chief. ”
"Sir, you're gracious. You were my commander, and Dilin is no one who forgets his roots. ”
"Lord Dilin is so nostalgic that he is really moved and flattered. However, I, Lin Bing, have a thin shoulder, and I can't afford your respect—I'd better be exempted. ”
Di Lin smiled and said casually, "You said you were joking." Chief Lin, I heard that you are going back to the Far East soon?"
"If you allow it, Lord Dilin. ”
Chief Lin said seriously. For so many days, although the curfew and city curfew have been strictly enforced, we have allowed all our colleagues in the Far East to do so, and you have not been hindered in any way. This is to show our goodwill and friendliness, and you should know it. ”
"We can walk the streets of the capital without being caught in jail - and we really have to thank the Inspector General for his kindness, and I don't know how to repay this great kindness. ”
Di Lin stopped and turned his head to look at Lin Bing: "Chief Lin, you seem to have misunderstood me?"
"How dare you. The chief inspector is mighty and powerful, and I am a weak woman, how dare I misunderstand you? The adult dares to act boldly, and the little woman admires it very much. ”
As soon as the words came out, Lin Bing immediately regretted it: since he had already decided to perfunctory him, why was he so impulsive? There was a ruthless poisonous snake in front of him, why did he still provoke him? This demon king, he didn't need a reason to kill people.
Dilin was not provoked. He stared at Lin Bing for a long time, and then said, "Chief Lin, you are someone I respect. I just want to ask you: In all fairness, how does the Zichuan family treat me?
Lin Bing was stunned. She wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't say anything, and finally let out a long, empty sigh.
"In the middle of the night on New Year's Eve, on my way home to celebrate the New Year with my wife and children, more than 400 armed bandits armed with bayonets and knives washed my convoy in blood, and more than 100 guards were all killed, but I was the only one who survived. In this tragedy, the people who carried it out were Luo Minghai and Lin Di, and the people behind it were Zichuan Shenxing.
Chief Lin, what would you do if you were replaced?" Di Lin looked at Lin Bing and asked calmly, "Will you die if you tie your hands?"
Lin Bing was silent and pursed his lips tightly.
Di Lin sighed: "Chief Lin, you and I have different positions. I don't expect you to agree with me, but at least, I hope you understand. The whole thing, I was forced, and I had no choice at all. I don't regret it, but there is one thing that makes me very sad. ”
Di Lin's tone was very deep, and Lin Bing asked softly, "Military Affairs Director?"
Di Lin nodded heavily: "The death of the second brother was not my intention...... Of course, my sins are inexcusable, and I am not going to argue with them. But all the while, I didn't have the slightest intention of harming him, not at all!
Looking at Di Lin's clear eyes, Lin Bing nodded with difficulty and said, "I believe it." In either way, you really don't need to kill Sterling. ”
"Thank you, Chief Lin. Di Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and he smiled at Lin Bing: "This is going to the Far East, all the way to the mountains and rivers." Sir Lin, take care along the way. Please greet Ah Xiu on my behalf. ”
Facing Lin Bing, he stretched out his hand.
Looking at each other in a complicated manner, Lin Bing hesitated, and finally stretched out his hand. Staring into Di Lin's eyes, she whispered: "Di Lin, I can't agree with your behavior, but I have to admit that you are indeed a hero in the world." ”
Di Lin smiled faintly and said: "Zichuan is a family, and it has been divided into the southeast for three hundred years, why can't I overthrow it?
Today's turbulent mainland is the time for heroes to rise. How can the heroes of our generation stick to the pedantic subtleties of foolishness, loyalty, and pedantry? The collapse of the Zichuan family is not an opportunity for the rise of a new empire on the mainland?"
"Your empire will never rise. Looking at him, Lin Bing resolutely said, "The Far Easterners will destroy you!"
Di Lin shook his head, his smile contained a kind of magnanimity and tolerance, like an adult forgiving a naughty child: "Sir Lin, you will see." Future history will tell.
Chief Lin, I have a few words, I want you to help me convey Ah Xiu, is it okay?"
Lin Bing nodded calmly: "Please speak, I will convey the original words." ”
"Over the years, under the rule of the Zichuan family, the country has experienced too many wars, famines, wars, poverty, exhaustion, and suffering, and the country has been on the verge of collapse. The poor and tired people need time to recuperate, and mothers need time to raise their children. If a civil war breaks out, it is the millions of Lebanese people in the country who will suffer the most, those innocent people and low-level soldiers.
I usurped power and seized the throne, but how was the Zichuan family born back then? Wasn't it Zichuan Yun who usurped the Guangming Dynasty?
Politicians don't ask about the means, they only ask about the results. I believe that in the future, if the country is in charge of me, it will definitely be better than the Zichuan family.
Ah Xiu, you are a person who misses the old, and you always remember the kindness of the Zichuan family to you. But is it more important to have the power and glory of a family or the well-being of tens of millions of people? Who is more capable of making the country strong and the people happy? Who is more suitable to rule the country? Is it me or Zi Chuanning?
As long as you think about it calmly, you can come up with an answer.
Today, what the country needs most is not justice, but peace. As long as you are willing to join hands with me, we will be able to support this country, and we will be able to bring peace, food, clothing and tranquility to tens of millions of people who have suffered for a long time. As long as you can agree, you can negotiate any conditions, and even, in the future, I can make you emperor. ”
After a long phone call, Di Lin seemed to have a lot to say, he muttered for a long time, Lin Bing held his breath and listened intently. But in the end, Di Lin just sighed and said melancholy: "Ah Xiu, please think carefully. ”
"That's all, Chief Lin, please. ”
Looking at the person in front of him, Lin Bing's eyes fluttered. After a long time, she said solemnly: "Please rest assured, Your Excellency Di Lin, I have memorized your words, and I will definitely bring them to me." You don't have to worry. ”
"If I can't trust you, Chief Lin, I won't ask you for help. After a salute, Di Lin smiled and said goodbye: "Don't delay your trip, I hope there will be a time later." ”
Looking at Di Lin's tall figure slowly disappearing among the flowers and pines and cypresses at the entrance of the Holy Spirit Temple, Lin Bing's eyes were complicated and he fell into confusion.
"Isn't it a good thing for this person to be the emperor?"
Lin Bing shook his head and drove this absurd idea out of his mind. The young deputy marshal of the Far Eastern Army was also a well-informed and experienced person, but in her life experience, she had never met such a person.
Drive towards where the sun rises. With a strange feeling, Lin Bing left dìdū. Looking back at the city wall under the rising sun, she had a feeling that things were wrong. For the first time in three hundred years, the people who ruled this majestic giant city were no longer the Zichuan family.
As soon as Lin Bing's convoy entered the provincial border, someone immediately greeted him and asked respectfully: "Excuse me, is it the convoy led by the commander of the Far Eastern Army?" At the order of the headquarters, the subordinate officials specially came to escort him. ”
Lin Bing repeatedly said that his accompanying guards and horses were enough, and there was really no need to bother your Excellency, but the attitude of the military judge was quite resolute: "My lord, the headquarters has issued a strict order. If the subordinate fails to complete the task, he will be severely punished. Please don't embarrass your subordinates, we will never hinder your trip. ”
Lin Bing knew that unless he had to fight with the Supervision Department, there would be no way to get rid of these uninvited "guards". Since I couldn't push it off, I had to accept it.
There was a spectacular scene on the road, the cars were like water, the horses were like dragons, and hundreds of armed gendarmes were clustered in front of and behind Lin Bing's convoy, looking around with murderous spirit. Wherever the convoy went, the leading outpost blocked the road, and pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages were driven to both sides of the road. After the large group of escort cavalry, a group of military policemen holding high black sè horsetail flags led the way for the convoy, and they shouted the slogan: "Silence ~ Avoid ~" The long cry echoed long on the desolate avenue.
Passers-by were driven to the side of the road, and with mixed feelings, they watched the powerful convoy pass in front of them, and in their eyes there were all kinds of feelings: envy, fear, hatred......
Enjoying the bath of this gaze all the way, feeling the taste of being a powerful person, the entourage felt very satisfied and high-spirited. But Lin Bing himself was deeply worried. She understood Dilin's intentions, and in this way, Delin declared to the world his unbreakable friendship with the Far Eastern Army, in order to deter any possible challenger.
On the evening of January 15, the convoy passed through the provincial capital of Bartley, and Lin Bing rested at the local post station. In the middle of the night, the guards came to report that the governor and the governor of Bartley Province had asked for a secret reception.
Lin Bing was a little surprised. Originally, as a veteran of the Far Eastern Army, she had dealt with the governors or governors of the southeastern provinces to some extent, and it was not uncommon for acquaintances to visit. But in the cruel war against the demons in 784, in order to slow down the pace of the demon army's advance, the high-level of the Zichuan family issued an order: "The family soldiers will never take a step back!" - this is the 271 order that was later known as the cruel and inhumane. Governors and governors everywhere faced a cruel choice, if they wanted to live, they had to lose their officials, and if they didn't want to lose their positions, they had to die. The general consequence of this incident was that after the expulsion of the demon clan, the governors and governors of the southeastern provinces generally changed their faces, so Lin Bing really couldn't imagine that anyone would come to see her in the middle of the night.
When Lin Bing hurriedly changed into his uniform and came to the reception room, both men got up from the sofa.
Lin Bing vaguely felt that one of them was a little familiar. She tried to search for memories in her mind, and said in a pleasant voice, "It's rude, the two of you think are Bartley's guardians and parents' officials? ”
Both men saluted Lin Bing. One of them took the initiative to speak up: "Lord Lin, down here is Wa Xin, the governor of Bartley Province. During the Battle of Bataan, you led your troops through the local area, and the lower officials were fortunate to get acquainted with you. ”
Lin Bing nodded slowly: "I remember you, Your Excellency Waxin, you were the commander of the 51st Division of the Southeast Army at that time, the commander of Waxin, right?"
Wa Xin laughed happily: "Lord Lin is good to remember." At that time, there were dozens of officers in our Southeast Army, and you can still recognize the lower officers now, which is really amazing. Interrupted late at night, rude. ”
Lin Bing smiled: "Please take a seat, Your Excellency Wa Xin." And this Excellency......"
"Oh, this is my colleague, the Provincial Governor (Governor) Wu Hua in a red coat. Saying that, Wa Xin deliberately accentuated his tone: "My lord, you can rest assured, he is his own person!"
The thin old man who came with Wa Xin got up and greeted: "Lord Lin, I'm really sorry to ask to see you late at night and disturb your rest." But if it weren't for that, we wouldn't have been able to avoid the gendarmes. If we let them know we've seen you, we're in big trouble. ”
Lin Bing said lightly: "Oh?"
Wa Xin said solemnly: "My lord, we came recklessly tonight. Time is of the essence, and we are not going around in circles. You've come from dìdū and you're well-informed, and we want to ask, what happened that night?"
Lin Bing said lightly: "Didn't the post report make it very clear? Luo Minghai plotted a mutiny, murdered the chief and Sterling, and the chief inspector put down the rebellion and supported His Royal Highness Dai Ning to succeed to the throne - do you have any questions?"
The two red-clothed banners exchanged glances, and Wu Hua's red-clothed banners coughed dryly: "My lord, we have read the post report." However, the lower officials felt that there were some doubts in the report and the explanation was not very clear...... Ahem, it's a little hard to justify. Moreover, there have been some rumors recently, which are plausible and confusing...... Therefore, Xia Guan came to ask Lord Lin for verification. ”
"Oh, what do you think is suspicious, and what rumors have you been talking about lately?"
"This, ahem, of course, Xia Guan also listened to other people's rumors...... It is said that what happened is a little different from what was said in the post post...... The details of the situation are not very clear, of course, it may also be some ignorant and foolish nonsense......"
Seeing that the deputy marshal of the Far Eastern Army was always faint, Wu Hua's forehead was sweating, and he hurriedly turned: "Of course, those things, the lower officials resolutely don't believe it." The nonsense of ignorant and foolish people is not worth mentioning......"
Lin Bing smiled and didn't speak, just looked at him inscrutablely, making Wu Hua's heart hairy and constantly wiping his sweat.
"I say, don't go around in circles anymore!" Wa Xin stood up and approached, and said sincerely: "Lord Lin, although the lower official has only seen you once, the lower official can see that you are a reliable person, and my companions also told me that you are a decent person. That's why I dare to come to see you tonight. If you sell me, I'll be blind!
Lord Lin, we have come out of our way and only ask you one thing: A reliable person told us that Di Lin launched a rebellion and murdered His Highness the Counselor, the President and the Military Director, and that the President was wronged—is this true?"
Lin Bing said lightly: "As far as I know, it's true." ”
Despite being mentally prepared, they got the answer all of a sudden, and the two red-clothed bannermen were still shocked, and their faces changed.
Wu Hua slammed on the table and scolded in a low voice: "Reversing black and white, rebellious! The beast is really so bold!"
Wa Xin's face sank, he didn't say a word, his fists clenched so much that he gurgle, and his eyes showed a fierce light.
For a moment, the only sound in the room was the heavy gasps of the men.
"Lord Lin, thank you for telling us the truth, thank you!" In Waxin's thanks, Lin Bing heard his sincere thanks. Lin Bing gave so much trust to himself who only had one fate, and the two red-clothed flags were very moved.
Lin Bing smiled: "I don't care. Now the Inspectorate is courting the Far Eastern commanders, and even if they know about it, they will not dare to attack me. angered Lord Xiuchuan, and Di Lin was about to be unlucky. But you two need to be careful. I can't say that to anyone. The Ombudsman can't do anything about me, but it would be unwise for the two of you, even though both of your Excellencies are high-ranking officials, to be arrogant and in conflict with them head-on. ”
The two red-clothed flags nodded vigorously. Wa Xin asked, "My lord, what is the Far Eastern Commander going to do? When will he raise an army to fight the rebellion?"
"This time I went back, just to report the situation to Hidekawa-sama. Hidekawa-sama is jealous and hateful, and he will never sit idly by and watch this. But the tricky thing is that His Highness Ning's whereabouts are unknown, and I don't know if she has fallen into the hands of the Supervision Department. If we want to crusade against rebellion, we will not be able to figure out the truth, but we may say that we are rebellious -- especially in the Far East, where our relationship with our family zhōngyāng has always been not very harmonious, and it is easy for people with good intentions to spread rumors.
Here, there is one thing I would like to ask you for. ”
The two red-clothed bannermen stood up in unison and said in a loud voice: "Don't dare, please command." ”
"Now, His Highness Ning's whereabouts are unknown. I estimate that if Her Highness survives and escapes from the Inspectorate's command, she is likely to defect to the Far Eastern Command. Bartley Province is the only way to go to the Far East, both of them are in the same province, please pay more attention to the two of them, if you find the whereabouts of Her Highness Ning, you must protect her and protect her to the Far East. In this way, the two of them have made a great contribution to the family!"
The two red-clothed bannermen replied in unison: "Obey your lordship's orders!"
"You don't have to be like that. I'm not your boss, and I'm not qualified to give you orders, it's just my personal request. ”
"Your Excellency has said it. Not to mention that as a family soldier, it was originally our duty to protect His Royal Highness Ning, and now that the chief has been killed, His Royal Highness Ning's life and death are unknown, and among the important ministers, only Lord Xiuchuan survived. can represent the orthodoxy of the Zichuan family, and only Lord Xiuchuan is left. Lord Lin, as Lord Xiuchuan's deputy, is naturally our boss. ”
Wu Hua also said: "Lord Xiuchuan is entrusted by the heroes of the sea, and everyone expects it. If the adults don't give up, we are both willing to go to the adult's command. I just don't know when the Far Eastern army will be able to enter the pass to defeat the rebels? Although our troops are weak and our strength is limited, as long as the soldiers of Lord Hidekawa and King Qin arrive, the whole province of Bartley will definitely raise troops to respond!"
Fearing that the gendarmes would find out, the two red-clad bannermen quickly departed - of course, the two impassioned righteous men sneaked out of the back door over the wall. Seeing their figures disappear into the night, Lin Bing smiled.
She believed that the righteous indignation that Wa Xin and Wu Hua had just expressed was indeed sincere, but she also doubted how long this righteous indignation would last. Recalling Wu Hua's statement, she couldn't help but laugh: "As long as Lord Xiuchuan's Qinwang soldiers arrive, the whole province of Bartley will definitely raise troops to respond!" -- he is worthy of being a civilian official, safety comes first, and even leaves room for swearing.
If Zichuan Hidezhen arrives with hundreds of thousands of Far Eastern troops, it will be difficult for Bartley Province not to respond.
If Zi Chuan Xiu had not sent troops, then they could not be blamed! After all, these adults had been looking forward to the Far Eastern army at night, and before the Far Eastern army arrived, they had no choice but to continue to "entrust the virtual snake" with the family's great traitor Di Lin.
In Lin Bing's next trip, she found that there were really many officials who had the same idea. Every night, there were always some sneaky people who secretly came to see Lin Bing, and then identified themselves, they were all local officials. Naturally, in front of Lin Bing, they also impassionedly expressed their loyalty to the family and their expectations for the commander of the Far East, and by the way, they also praised Lin Bing's courage to dig deep into the tiger's den to dig the truth. In the end, they all said very resolutely that as soon as the Far Eastern Army arrived, they would respond to the rebels and fight together against the traitor Emperor Lin and go straight to the wolf's den.
As for those who drew their swords on the spot and openly wanted to break with Di Lin, it was a pity that Lin Bing had never met such a good man until he entered Valen.
In front of the Valen Fortress pass, the convoy encountered orc patrols from the Far East. Knowing that there was Lin Bing, the deputy marshal of the Far Eastern Army, in the convoy, the half-orc officer who led the team hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. Seeing that they had encountered the Far Eastern Army, the guards were also interested, and they automatically left without waiting for Lin Bing to chase away the guests.
Finally got rid of this group of followers who had been in the soul for more than ten days, and Lin Bing was in a good mood. But then, she realized that something was wrong: "How can the patrols of the Far East patrol in the Valen Fortress? The Valen Fortress is controlled by the Zichuan family!"
"My lord, the Valen Fortress has been controlled by our army, and the commander of the fortress is Lord Ming Yu. ”
At that moment, Lin Bing had the feeling of being hit in the head by a meteor outside the sky, and the huge surprise made her stagger and unsteady.
"Take me to this guy immediately!"
When the commander of the Third Army of the Far Eastern Army, the red-clothed banner Ben Mingyu, saw Lin Bing, he showed sincere joy: "Lord Lin, it's great that you're back! ”
"I'll stop talking nonsense for the time being. Lin Bing was unceremoniously: "Let me ask you, why are you here?"
"Lord Lin, what you said is a bit strange. All along, the Valen Fortress has been the headquarters of our Far Eastern Army, and we are stationed in the fortress, which is a matter of course, are you-ah, how can you beat people with Gaogen shoes?"
"The old lady makes you talk a lot of nonsense!" Lin Bing panted and put back his shoes: "Sue you, the old lady walked more than fifty miles today, and the soles of her feet were blistered, so she went back to the Far East to transfer troops to snatch Valen." Who knows, when you arrive in Valen, you see you sitting flat and grinding your teeth with the old lady - the old lady has been running all the way from dìdū to thousands of miles, but in the end you find that you are working in vain, how can you understand this feeling!
Tell me, how did you get Varen down?"
"It's too much to say robbery," Ming Yu said very aggrievedly: "Xiaguan is a Sven, Xiaguan told Valen's allies that Valen Fortress has always been the headquarters of our Far Eastern Army, and it is a matter of course for the fortress to be returned to the Far Eastern Army......! Oh, my lord, don't do it yet, you listen to me!"
It is true that the Far Eastern Army did not use force during the process of stationing into the Valen Fortress, but things were not as peaceful as Ming Yu said. After the coup d'état was successful, Dilin immediately sent an order to the Judge Advocate General's Office in Valen, telling them to take immediate action and take control of the fortress. The head of the Valen Judge Advocate General's Office had never been on good terms with the commander of the Valen garrison, so he wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of the garrison commander Lumas's red flag.
Facts have proved that a character like Di Lin is not something that anyone can learn casually. The crappy mutiny directed by the military judge failed in a mess -- worse than Luo Minghai's assassination, and the process is not much to say, and the result is similar to Luo Minghai: those who wanted to kill were killed instead.
But the victors are no better. Upon learning that the judge of the battalion had died in the chaos, Lumas fainted on the spot. The murder of a military judge is tantamount to treason. Although they were forced to fight back, this kind of case was investigated by the people of the Ombudsman's Office, and they would definitely be on the side of their dead colleagues. Lumas felt that he had no way to live, and in a panic, he made a ridiculous decision: to sacrifice the city to the Far Eastern Army!
"The Zichuan Army surrendered to the Zichuan Army?" Lin Bing was dumbfounded when he heard this: "Lumas...... What the hell did he think? What did he think of our Far Eastern Army? Is the Zichuan family an enemy country?"
"Who knows him? Perhaps, he thinks that staying where he is must be a dead end, and he will take the Valen fortress to our side, and maybe he will find a way to live. In fact, he was right. ”
At that time, Ming Yu happened to be near Valen. When he received the news that the commander of the Varen Fortress of the Zichuan family was going to surrender to him and was willing to surrender the city, he was so surprised that he didn't say anything for a long time. To receive or not to receive?
Ming Yu slapped the board on the spot: Yes, why not?
Lin Bing looked at Ming Yu: "I only found out today that Your Excellency turned out to be such a bold person. You dare to make such a big decision without asking Lord Hidekawa?
"I think, first take over the people and the fortress, and then the Zichuan family will definitely negotiate with us, and if they want to spit out the meat they ate in their mouths, how can the Zichuan family give us some benefits? After all, we in the Far East have been poor for too long, and we can't let go of any opportunity! My lord, don't laugh at me, I'm not poor and crazy!"
Lin Bingwan'er asked, "And then?"
Everyone guessed what happened next. On the fifth day after the Far Eastern Army took over the fortress, Lin Bing's report reached Valen. Knowing that there had been a coup d'état, Ming Yu came to his senses. He sent troops from the surrounding Far Eastern provinces to garrison the fortress, and he personally sat here to pay attention to the movements in the interior until Lin Bing returned.
After listening to the report, Lin Bing breathed a long sigh of relief: "Very good." Ming Yu, this matter, you made a decision immediately and handled it properly. After taking the Valen Fortress, our army controlled the passage to the west and grasped the strategic initiative, which is of great significance. You've done a great job in this matter. ”
Ming Yu shrugged: "It doesn't matter if you make meritorious service or not." Lord Lin, what is the situation in Dìdū? We are too far away from here, and the news is all processed and inaccurate. The day before yesterday someone told me that the army in the Dìdū area was fighting in a melee, and that the expeditionary force was fighting with the Zōngyāng army, and that the blood was flowing and the killing was in the dark—is this true?"
