In the twelfth year of the establishment of the Southern Qi Dynasty, May 24.

The defenders of Guangling City and the Feiyu Battalion of the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion worked together to defeat the Yanjing coalition army under the city, and beheaded nearly 10,000 people and captured more than 3,000 people in several battles before and after, relieving the Guangling crisis in one fell swoop, known as the great victory of Guangling.

On May 25, Xiao Wangzhi, the governor of Huaizhou, mobilized the Zhenbei Army, the Feiyun Army, the Lai'an Army, the Taixing Army, the Pingshan Army and the Panlong Army to set up an ambush in the Qingxia area in the north of Lai'an Prefecture, and fought fiercely from morning to night, defeating the 80,000 troops of the Dongyang Road of Beiyan, who were marching southward, beheading 20,000 people, capturing nearly 20,000 prisoners, and seizing countless grains and grasses.

When the news reached the territory of Guangling, the Yanjing coalition army, which had just experienced a crushing defeat, was in a panic and could only withdraw from the Wangmei Ancient Road to the North Yanmoyang Road.

On May 29, the main force of the Guangling Army, which was dormant in the southwest corner of Guangling Prefecture, was commanded by Qi Tai to select 2,000 tigers, and another 1,000 elite guards of the Huaizhou Governor's Mansion guard, all the way north under the leadership of Xiao Wangzhi's second son, Xiao Hong.

These 3,000 warriors cooperated with the Feiyu Battalion to not only regain control of the Wangmei Ancient Road, but also killed more than half of the more than 3,000 people of the Northern Yan army who had not had time to retreat, and the rest all knelt down and begged to surrender.

At this point, Huaizhou Dading.

……

These days, Lu Shen has been staying in the house to recuperate.

Qin Chun's knife went into the flesh by half an inch, but fortunately it didn't hurt the bones, but he still needed to recuperate for a while.

Lu Shen stayed in the house in peace, not only declined Duan Zuozhang's invitation to let him write a gong performance table together, but also stopped asking about the affairs of the Weaving Division, eating, drinking and sleeping all day long, and basically chatting with Lin Xi when he woke up.

"You don't have to be so careful."

Xue Huaiyi helped him change the medicine for the injury, checked his pulse, and then said with a warm smile.

Lu Shen didn't want to work for this old miracle doctor, but the other party repeatedly insisted that he was not pretentious, the old and the young got along quite well these days, and he was no longer too cautious, so he shook his head and said: "The little nephew has made a lot of contributions during this time, and it is inappropriate to compete for the limelight again." ”

Xue Huaiyi said with a gentle expression: "Of course, it is not appropriate to snatch the credit of others, but you don't have to push away the credit that should be yours." However, Duan Zuozhang is an honest man, and since you helped him in the matter of pseudo-Yan Xizuo, presumably he will record the details of this battle as it is. If he dares to be greedy for Mo Ling's credit, even if the old man doesn't want this old face, he will go to Xiao Dadu to argue clearly. ”

Lu Shen said: "Thank you Shibo for taking care of you." ”

Xue Huaiyi waved his hand and said with emotion: "If it was before, the old man would only take care of you, a junior, for the sake of Brother Lu's face." But that day, the old man stood on the city wall, and watched you sacrifice your life and fight hard with your own eyes with the Zhan Governor's Mansion, you are a good boy, and the sons and daughters in the army are also good. ”

Lu Shen said with a smile: "Uncle Shi's words are serious, and the little nephew is just doing his best." ”

Xue Huaiyi said again: "Now the old man finally understands, why didn't Ling Zun force you to participate in the imperial examination to make a name for yourself, presumably he has already made arrangements, and you are indeed angry." With the foundation of military achievements in this battle, your future in the army will be smooth sailing. ”

Lu Shen was about to speak, but when he saw Song Pei standing by the door, he turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Song Pei lowered his head and replied, "Young Master, that Captain Li came to visit, and Miss Lin also came." ”

Xue Huaiyi looked at Lu Shen, who was full of apologies, and couldn't help but smile: "Go, the old man is going back to the house to have a look." ”

"The little nephew sends off Shibo."

Lu Shen sent Xue Huaiyi outside the mansion, turned around and walked to the main hall of the front yard.

The two girls sat opposite each other in the hall, and the atmosphere seemed to be very peaceful.

After the maids had served their tea, they withdrew, leaving only the two guests in the hall.

After Lu Shen came in, he saluted first, then looked left and right, and sat down at the bottom of Lin Xi.

In fact, this is not the first time Li Bingxue has visited, on the second day of the Battle of Guangling, when Lu Shen was still lying on the bed to recuperate, she had already come once, but seeing that Lu Shen was difficult to sit for a long time, she left after a few words.

"Captain Li took the time to come, I don't know what to learn?" Lu Shen asked politely.

Li Bingxue was still in armor, and his words were also neat and tidy: "I took the liberty to come to the door today to invite Lu Ganban to join the Jingzhou Army." If you don't dislike it, you can directly enter my Flying Feather Camp. ”

This sentence made Lu Shen and Lin Xi stunned at the same time.

Of course, Lu Shen would not be too narcissistic, thinking that this woman with a beautiful appearance and a free and easy temperament had something to think of herself, so she was quite curious about her intentions.

I didn't think that the other party really had thoughts about him - I wanted to take him directly to the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion.

Lin Xi's delicate and soft eyebrows frowned, and his right hand unconsciously clenched the cup.

Lu Shen calmed down and pondered: "Captain Li, can I ask the reason?" ”

"Absolutely."

Li Bingxue's cold eyes swept over Lin Xi, then looked at Lu Shen and said, "In the Battle of Guangling, your performance on the battlefield is amazing. Except for the slightly reckless actions of the final leader, all of them show your insight into the battle situation, and you dare to take the lead, which is the most important criterion for the selection of soldiers in the Flying Feather Battalion. ”

"Lieutenant praise." Lu Shen replied unhurriedly.

Li Bingxue continued: "At that time, I learned that you were an official in the Warp Weaving Department and had not entered the Guangling Army, so I had this idea. Later, in the past few days, I learned from General Duan that your contributions during this period of time, as well as your many meritorious performances while defending the city, are enough to prove your talent in military affairs. I know that this trip was very reckless, and I ask for your understanding, because I will soon be leading the army back to Jingzhou, and I really don't have much time to go around and around. ”

Lu Shen shook his head and said indifferently: "Captain don't have to be careful, I don't mean to complain, but this matter is really not appropriate." ”

Lin Xi's gaze softened a little.

Li Bingxue said calmly: "According to my identity, I really shouldn't be so trusted, but I can assure you that I will definitely recommend you to Governor Li." The Jingzhou Governor's Mansion is surrounded by enemies on three sides, and most of the governors are thirsty for talent, and they will definitely not despise a young handsome man like Lu Ganban. If you don't want to enter the Flying Feather Camp, you can also work under the Metropolitan Governor. ”

Lu Shen admired this young female general who was decisive on the battlefield, although he would not agree to this slightly abrupt request, but he still tried his best to say tactfully: "I am grateful for the appreciation of Captain Li, but I only took over as the cadre of the Warp Weaving Department not long ago, and it is really not appropriate to decide the future without authorization." ”

Li Bingxue's expression was calm, and he said calmly: "Lu Ganban don't worry, it is very common for officials of the Warp Weaving Department to transfer to the army, and you have military merits in the Battle of Guangling, and no one dares to make irresponsible remarks after joining the army." If you are willing, Governor Li will negotiate with the Warp Weaving Division to raise Lord Qin, and I believe that the Warp Weaving Department is willing to become an adult. ”

This sentence is a bit overbearing.

A gentle but firm voice suddenly sounded next to him.

"No, you can't."

Lin Xi looked directly at Li Bingxue and said undoubtedly: "Captain Li, as the only son in the family, it is not appropriate for my junior brother to go to Jingzhou, so I always have to worry about Uncle Lu Shi's thoughts. Besides, since the junior brother is unwilling, why should the captain be aggressive? ”

"Miss Lin, how could I have been forced?"

Li Bingxue was slightly puzzled.

Lin Xi said bluntly: "Captain Li is used to the straightforward style in the army, so naturally he can't feel it. My junior brother is pure and kind, and he remembers the feelings of the captain to rescue Guangling, so he is reluctant to speak out and hurt the harmony. ”

Li Bingxue frowned slightly, and then nodded and said, "Miss Lin taught you a lesson." Lu Ganban, sorry. ”

Lu Shen shook his head and said: "Captain Li doesn't have to apologize, it's just that what Senior Sister said is indeed what I think in my heart, my father is already old, and I have to stay at home to fulfill my filial piety after all, at least in Huaizhou." ”

Li Bingxue quickly heard the meaning of his words, a little smile suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he said indifferently: "Come to think of it, with Lu Ganban's performance in this battle, how could the Governor of Huaizhou Xiao turn a blind eye." It is precisely because I thought of this that I fought for it in advance, and since Lu Ganban was unwilling, then I would not say more. ”

She had an extremely straightforward temperament, and even got up to take her leave.

Such a crisp style made Lin Xi's impression of her change, so he got up and sent it off with Lu Shen.

After a while, Lu Shen stood under the porch, looking at Lin Xi with a smile.

"Senior sister."

"Why?"

"Senior sister is so powerful, that Captain Li was speechless by you."

"What's the ...... I just don't really like the way she's too aggressive in front of you, although I know she doesn't mean to. ”

Lin Xi turned his head, his smooth chin raised slightly.

Seeing this, Lu Shen couldn't hold back his laughter, coughed lightly and said, "Senior sister, what are we going to eat at noon today?" ”

Lin Xi looked at Lu Shen in puzzlement, and said softly, "What do you say?" ”

Lu Shen smiled: "I think we can cook two plates of dumplings in the back kitchen, and let's try them." ”

"Oh?" Lin Xi seemed to be smiling, and said slowly: "Senior brother, I want to say, just have dumplings, you don't need to prepare sour vinegar in the kitchen, yes or no?" ”

The smell of danger in the air became stronger and stronger, and Lu Shen hurriedly shook his head and said, "I didn't!" ”

Then he fled in the wilderness.

Lin Xi looked at his hasty back, where was there still a little bit of the majestic and heroic hair outside Guangling City that day, and couldn't help but let out a crisp and pleasant laugh.

……

The next day, Lu Zhai welcomed a special guest.

Lu Shen met him in the outer study, and after seeing the tea, Su Yunqing stared at the young and handsome face opposite, and sighed sincerely: "The future life is terrifying. ”

Lu Shen was silent for a moment, and then said sincerely: "If there is no support from adults, the younger generation will not have this opportunity to do things." ”

If he didn't have the identity of the warp weaving department, he would naturally not be able to meddle in many things, establish a strong enough friendship with Duan Zuozhang, and be unable to participate in city defense matters.

People's thoughts will not remain static, no matter what he was thinking when he was desperately working outside Guangling City, at least when he raided the Gu family, he consciously got involved in official affairs and increased his influence.

The premise of all this is that he has the warp weaver as a springboard.

Su Yunqing obviously understood this, but he didn't break it, and said with a smile: "I just hope that Brother Lu doesn't hold grudges about the original crime." ”

He actually discovered Gu Yong's strangeness very early, but in order to follow the vine, he acquiesced to Gu Yong's investigation of the Lu family. Although Lu Tong relied on the relationship of the Xue family to be invincible from the beginning, and Su Yunqing also accepted Lu Shen's opinion in time, but Lu Shen was young after all, and it was difficult to guarantee that he would not leave a mustard.

Lu Shen shook his head and said: "My lord's words are serious, and the younger generation doesn't think there is anything wrong with the warp weaving department's approach at the beginning. ”

Su Yunqing's smile became more and more cordial, now he naturally would not mention the matter of letting Lu Shen go north to lurk, even if he was really stupid to this point, those people above would not agree.

He said with mixed feelings: "When I received Li Jin's first urgent report, I thought that Lord Tiju would definitely ask you to go over and let you go directly to the general office to do things, maybe you will be able to replace a certain inspector soon." But a few days ago, I heard the battle report of Guangling from Governor Xiao Dadu, and I realized that I still looked down on you. ”

Lu Shen said humbly: "The battle of Guangling is not my work alone, and many people have more credit than me. ”

"The twists and turns, most of the governors can know at a glance, Brother Lu doesn't have to be modest."

Su Yunqing smiled slightly, and immediately revealed the mystery: "Governor Xiao knew that I was going to rush back to Guangling to deal with the pseudo-Yan fine work, so he asked me to convey it to you." If the injury is in good condition, you will be asked to come to the Governor's Mansion immediately. ”

Lu Shen was shocked in his heart.

Su Yunqing said: "Congratulations Brother Lu, the hard work and blood during this period of time will not be in vain, and the next thing is the season of your harvest." ”

Lu Shen thanked him calmly, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

At the time of parting, Su Yunqing said again: "The cadre is not a permanent position of the Weaving Department, if Governor Xiao Dadu doesn't mind, you can continue to keep it, even if you join the army in the future, it will be a lot of convenience." ”

"Thank you for your advice."

Lu Shen sent him away, and returned to stand quietly under the porch for a long time.

The sun is shining, the wind is mild, and the branches and leaves are blown by the wind.

He habitually knocked lightly on the pillars, and his eyes gradually outlined the meaning of the country.

I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes, when I wrote the concubine, the highest record was 11,000 words a day, and yesterday I wrote 15,000, which caused my brain to be dizzy all the time today, and I couldn't see the dishes clearly when I ate...... I know this is very inferior, don't scold Qiuqiu, I will continue to work hard, how about adjusting the update time to 12 noon in two days?
