The north bank of the Canglong River.

As far as the eye can see, the entire Jiangbei Plain reveals a smell of slaughter.

On the yellow and white fields, the camps are lined up along the riverbank, and the sergeants in armor and weapons in their hands patrol back and forth between the camps, and from the back of the camps, the shouts of the soldiers during training can occasionally be heard.

Close to the river, a water village rises from the ground.

Countless craftsmen hold tools in their hands and work in two shifts day and night to create all kinds of ship equipment.

"I've seen a handsome man!"

When the chief officer of the craftsman battalion heard that the commander Lu Linyuan had come to inspect, he hurriedly left his men and went out of the village to greet him.

"Master Lin has worked hard this time." Lu Linyuan smiled and stretched out his hand to support the other party's body that was about to bow down, and asked, "Now, I don't know how the craftsmen have understood the shipbuilding skills of the Chu State?" ”

Sensing a huge force pouring out of Lu Linyuan's hand, making him unable to worship no matter what, Master Lin had no choice but to stand up, rub his rough palm stained with sawdust, and said:

"Returning to the marshal, Chu Manzi's technology has been digested by us for seven or eight points, although we can't build a building ship that can carry 10,000 people at present, but it is smaller, and it can carry 1,000 people, but it is nine out of ten."

"Good!"

When Lu Linyuan heard this, he couldn't help but slam his palms together.

"Master Lin's move is a great contribution to the community! When he returns to Beijing this time, the marshal will report the master's merits to His Majesty's case! ”

It was in vain that he gritted his teeth and sent nearly 10,000 Jin men into this Canglong River!

Suddenly remembering something, Lu Linyuan hurriedly asked.

"By the way, the ship that Ben Shuai once asked the master to design is now eyebrow-like?"

Master Lin nodded heavily.

"Marshal Lao is worried, with many ships of Chu Man as a reference, we have been discussing for a few days, and now we have a rough idea. It is expected that in about ten days, the first one will be built. As long as the test is successful, the next step is much easier. ”

"Good, good!"

Lu Linyuan said three "good" words in a row, and walked towards the Shuizhai Lookout.

The group hurried to follow.

Standing on the lookout platform of Shuizhai, looking at the misty clouds and smoke of the Canglong River, the water and the sky are the same, Lu Linyuan, who was carrying his hands on his back, sighed after a long time:

"This time, we must make this Canglongjiang moat a thoroughfare, capture the enemy chieftain and return!"

"Brilliant plan, I can't wait......"

Several strategists standing beside Lu Linyuan invariably let out this kind of sigh in their hearts.

"This is not the work of Ben Shuai alone." Lu Linyuan waved his hand, looked at the river, and said with a smile, "Huang Lao'er on the other side, presumably His Majesty violated the sky this time, and sent troops in a big way, just to take advantage of his Chu State. But I don't know, if you don't make up your mind and have the certainty of victory, how can Your Majesty agree to send troops in this cold winter, and how can this commander personally lead the troops? ”

He, Lu Linyuan, led his troops south this time in order to destroy the Chu State in one fell swoop!

When Huang Lao'er saw icebreakers with bows like knives breaking through the ice of the Canglong River, and ships full of good men from the Jin Kingdom followed closely behind, approaching the south bank, I don't know what kind of expression it would be?

He was really curious about this!

As long as the Chu State is destroyed in one fell swoop, the remaining Qi State will be surrounded by the Jin State except for the coast, and there will be no second way except surrender.

At that time, the Great Jin Dynasty will be able to dominate the south to move, and the quiet will recuperate, watch the heroes compete, and move the land and water to compete with the five countries.

When Lu Linyuan was imagining the majestic territory of the Great Jin Dynasty in the future, a partial general suddenly ran to the watchtower and shouted to him:

"Dashuai, I am humbled by the order of Cui to join the army, please return to the camp as soon as possible."

Lu Linyuan was slightly stunned, then strode to the guardrail, held the railing down and asked:

"Did Cui join the army say anything important?"

At the same time, he was also quite puzzled in his heart.

The fact that he came to inspect the water village had been arranged a long time ago, and as for other things in the handsome camp, they were temporarily handed over to Cui Hao, a member of the army. At this time, unless it was something important, Cui Hao didn't dare to make a decision, otherwise he would not send someone to disturb him.

"Cui joined the army and asked the humble post to tell the marshal, saying that there is an envoy from the imperial court, please return to the camp quickly!"

Someone from the imperial court?

How so?

The doubts in Lu Linyuan's heart did not decrease but increased, half a month ago, he just sent a report to the capital division, according to the speed, now His Majesty has received it.

In the letter, he explained the progress of the military situation in great detail, why did he send angels to the front line now?

As for His Majesty's doubts about himself, Lu Linyuan never considered it.

Because he is not only His Majesty's former minister, but also His Majesty's attendant and playmate when he was a child, the trust between the two is not something that can be easily affected by external forces.

With this doubt, Lu Linyuan returned to the marshal camp.

When he entered the handsome camp, he found that in the handsome camp, except for Cui Hao, there was only one white-faced and beardless chamberlain, and there was no third person else.

"Dashuai."

Seeing Lu Linyuan walk in, Cui Hao hurriedly got up and hugged his fists to salute him, but Lu Linyuan, who had always been careful, found that his face was full of bitter smiles.

"Marshal Lu is back? Then take the order! ”

When the chamberlain saw Lu Linyuan enter the tent, he stood up and shook his sleeve, and a roll of bright yellow silk paper appeared in his palm.

"Minister, Lu Linyuan, welcome to the Holy Decree!"

Lu Linyuan hurriedly knelt down, and Cui Hao on the side also knelt down.

"Your Majesty's handwritten edict: Lu Linyuan, the general of Zhennan, will quickly lead the army back to Beijing on the day he receives my handwritten edict, and if there is a delay, he will be punished for the crime of treason, and he will be punished for this!"

After reading the edict, the chamberlain handed a volume of the holy decree to Lu Linyuan.

"Marshal Lu, take the order."

"This ......"

Lu Linyuan, who was stunned, subconsciously took the holy decree handed over, felt the touch of the paper in his hand, and then he came back to his senses, and the majestic face of the Chinese character burst into green tendons, and he stared at the waiter.

"Dare to ask this lord, what the hell is going on?"

"Marshal Lu, General Lu, our family is also on an errand, and our family can't help it."

Feeling the aura emanating from Lu Linyuan's body like a desolate beast, the inner servant's heart trembled three times, and he replied with a sad face.

"Tell Ben Shuai, what happened in the palace?"

As he spoke, Lu Linyuan took a step forward, and the waiter's heart jumped, and he subconsciously took a step back.

"Big, handsome, we don't dare to say it. If you say it, you are talking about the king, and our head will not be able to be saved. ”

He pleaded bitterly.

"Don't say it, don't say it, Ben Shuai will kill you now!"

Lu Linyuan, who felt more and more that something was wrong in his heart, pressed his hand on the handle of the knife.

"If His Majesty asked, the commander said that it was you who had no one in the camp in sight, and you made a wanton noise, and even rode into the patrol soldiers. This marshal is a righteous military discipline, and he will correct your law on the spot. With the strictness of governing the army with this marshal, you said, does Your Majesty believe in you or me? Ben Shuai didn't believe it, killed you, are a few of your entourages so strict? ”

Our family was killed by Lu Shuai, how can you explain?

Sensing the undisguised killing intent in Lu Linyuan's words, the servant couldn't bear it at all.

If His Majesty knows, he may die later, but if he doesn't say it, this killing god can ask for his life now!

Your Majesty, the slaves and maids are also forced to be helpless!

"Dashuai, it's like this......"

The trembling chamberlain told everything he knew like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

After hearing this, not only Lu Linyuan was stunned, but even Cui Hao on the side was stupid.

His Majesty and the crown prince were all killed by the second prince?

The second prince still established himself as the emperor?

Why is it that it has only been two or three months since he sent his own troops, and there has been such turmoil in this Beijing division?

is worthy of being the number one general in the world, in a few breaths, Lu Linyuan recovered his calm from his shock, and shouted to the guards outside the camp:

"Thank you, messenger, come, lead the messenger down to rest."

"Xie Dashuai."

The attendant, who was completely open, arched his hand towards Lu Linyuan, and walked out of the handsome camp with the guards.

"Dashuai, what should I do now?"

Cui Hao exhaled heavily and asked in an astringent voice.

"It's up to you and me to decide this matter," Lu Linyuan shook his head, "Cui Senjun, you called the generals here to discuss this matter, and called back along with the sentinels." ”

"Obey orders."

Cui Hao agreed, and walked outside, but when he arrived at the tent door, he suddenly stopped, turned his head to look inside the big tent, and realized that Lu Linyuan's black hair turned white at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Qi Chu is not extinguished, please take care of your body."

Listening to the footsteps gradually drifting away, Lu Linyuan's head gradually lowered, his shoulders couldn't help shaking, and his face, which was mostly covered by shadows, gradually became hideous, "Killing your father and killing your brother?" Well, that's great! These words were squeezed out of his mouth word by word.

"Boom!"

The pale yellow martial arts aura covered his burly body, and the roll of bright yellow silk paper in his hand was blown to pieces, but it instantly dissipated in the next moment.

"Cui Hao's kid is right, now that Qi Chu has not been destroyed, my Dajin must not have civil strife."

Lu Linyuan pinched the palm of his hand with a "cluck" sound, his eyes were red, and he hissed, as if he was explaining to himself or to others.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of the Great Jin Dynasty, please forgive the minister for the crime of disloyalty. The ministers are brave, please slow down your Majesty on the Nai He Bridge, wait for the first minister, wait for the ministers to destroy Qi Chu, and then go down to the Yellow Spring, and follow Your Majesty to fight the Netherworld! ”

After a short time, the generals came to the camp one after another, and they were greeted with only one order.

Withdraw the troops and return to Beijing!

As for the various ships that have just been built, they are all burned, and none of them will be left to Chu Man!

…………

Just when the Jin army was discussing the withdrawal, Zhao Yu's reply also went to Huang Jingming's hands.

"Childly rude!" Huang Jingming read the letter, his eyes were full of anger, and he slammed the letter on the case, "Who will stand up the Son of Heaven!" I don't need to say anything! ”

Wang Duruo bent down to pick up the letter from the ground, his eyes swept over the contents, and he couldn't help laughing:

"The prince is angry, Your Majesty's move can be regarded as a decent response. According to the lower officials, His Majesty did not want to completely tear his face with the prince. ”

"Does he have the guts?"

Huang Jingming's anger did not subside, and he snorted coldly:

"If it weren't for the support of the old man at that time, how would Xiao'er be where he is today? Now that the old man has left Beijing, he has set up a fight with the old man and started Tai Chi! I'm here, I'm a dog's foot! ”

"Why should the prince be angry with a child?" Wang Duruo persuaded him, "When the Jin army retreats and the prince returns to Beijing, it will be the day when His Majesty will be respectful to the prince." ”

"Hmph, if it weren't for Zixin's face, this king would be finished with that little child!"

Huang Jingming flicked his sleeves and said.

"But what Du Ruo said is reasonable, after the old man returns to Beijing, he will slowly settle accounts with this little emperor one by one!"

Huang Wenbo wrote a few days ago, saying that Wang Pu Wang Wenbo had thrown himself on his side.

Hmph, without Wang Pu's advice to you, what kind of storm can be stirred up with just a small commander of the former division of the Forbidden Army Palace?

More than three months......

I've been sitting in this position long enough.

As long as he forces back to invade the Jin army this time, this Jiangnan people will hold all the hopes in their hands.

When he returns to Beijing, it will be the time for this great Chu to change the sky!

Although Huang Jingming thought so, he was still ready for a stalemate with the Jin army.

However, before the fourth day, the spilled scouts and spies brought him good news almost at the same time.

On the Jin army's side, the troops have withdrawn!

Is that true? Isn't that old thief Lu playing tricks? ”

Hearing the news, Huang Jingming subconsciously thought that he had heard the errand.

"Back to the general manager, the Jin army has shown signs of pulling out the camp since the day before yesterday. At the end of yesterday, in order to prevent fraud, he personally took the sentry to Jiangbei, and saw the smoke rising in the direction of the Jin army's water village, and when he got closer, he found that the Jin army was burning the water village that had been built with great difficulty. ”

At this point, the scout leader couldn't help but have a sad expression on his face.

It is not an easy task to build a water village of this scale, and these Jin troops are willing to burn it on fire......

"Chief, this matter needs to be cautious, in case that Lu Linyuan kills a horse pistol."

Wang Duruo frowned and said.

Huang Jingming glanced at the generals in the tent and said in a deep voice:

"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, I will wait for the change of all changes, and wait and see. The general will listen to the order, the patrol will continue as usual, and the general will not leave the camp without the order of the general manager. Who dares to disobey the order, don't blame Ben Shuai for not talking about the past. ”

"No!"

All the generals bowed their hands in unison.

When only Huang Jingming and Wang Duruo were left in the tent, Huang Jingming muttered:

"If the old thief Lu didn't use a trick to cover his eyes, but really burned down the water village, then the withdrawal is probably true."

"It's just that the prince doesn't dare to bet." Wang Duruo said with a smile.

"Yes, the name of a person, the shadow of a tree," Huang Jingming sighed and said helplessly, "Lu Linyuan's reputation, that is really a knife and a shot." It's true, but if it's fake, just to lure my army to attack, then by the time you find out, it's too late to regret it. The elite of Da Chu accounts for more than half of it, if it is a plan, then Da Chu will not be able to turn over for more than ten years...... To tell the truth, this king really doesn't dare to bet. ”

"Against that Marshal Lu, who dares to say that he will win?"

Wang Duruo nodded in agreement.

"Don't seek merit, but seek no fault, the prince's arrangement is a move to seek the country."

He went on to analyze:

"If the other party really retreats, then there is a chance that there will be turmoil in the Jin court, and Lu Linyuan will have to withdraw his troops to maintain stability. It's just that he doesn't understand what turmoil will occur in the court of this Jin Kingdom, so that he has to transfer back Lu Linyuan and the 100,000 army? ”

This is something that Wang Duruo can't figure out if he wants to break his scalp.

The Jin Kingdom has been extremely stable in the court for more than 20 years, although the Jin Emperor Sima You is old, but the means are still the same as back then, firmly maintaining the stability of the court, the prince Sima will be strong next year, and there are many supporters, and he is recognized as the next promising monarch.

The relationship between father and son is extremely harmonious, and it is rumored that in another year or two, Sima You will give up the crown prince and retire to the background to enjoy happiness, so there is no possibility that the son will usurp the father's throne.

"Du Ruomo has to think about it. We also have a dark line on the Jin side, just wait for them to come to the news. ”

Seeing Wang Duruo's puzzled look, Huang Jingming opened his mouth to persuade.

To be honest, not only Wang Duruo couldn't figure it out, but he Huang Jingming couldn't figure it out either.

Two days later, a secret letter sent from Jiangbei was placed on Huang Jingming's desk.

The doubts in the hearts of the two were completely solved.

The second prince, Sima Deguang, staged a coup d'état on December 15, killed his father and brother, and became emperor.

Thank you for the reward of 30,000 starting coins from [Cloud Peak 8 Days' Starting Point]!
