Chapter II: The Coalition Forces
And this is only the benefit that Xirong gained after the war with the Northern Qi.
As for the benefits of the Tang Dynasty, there is no need to talk nonsense, Lin Feng has seen Li Jian, the former monarch of the Tang Dynasty, and he has served him, to be honest, this person can only be described as eloquent, so in his hands, the Tang Dynasty is obviously the place of the four wars, but it was the strongest and most aggressive at that time.
However, Li Jian is dead after all, and after the new monarch ascends the throne, everyone thinks that Li Jian's son is a tiger father and a dog, and he can't even do it well. And the most terrible thing is that everyone knows that it is difficult to make a fortune, but it is very simple to make a fortune, although even if the scope of the family belongings spreads to a country, it is the same reason.
In fact, this is also the case, as soon as Li Jian died, the new monarch ascended the throne, followed by the successful ascension of Lu Yu of the Northern Qi Dynasty next door, there is a way to be afraid of comparing goods, it is obvious that before the accession to the throne, the national power of the Northern Qi Dynasty was weaker than that of the Central Tang Dynasty, but after the two new monarchs succeeded to the throne, the situation gradually reversed!!
However, if you think that the new monarch of the Tang Dynasty will be willing, will accept defeat, and will admit that he is inferior to Lu Yu?
The eagle catches the rabbit, and even the rabbit kicks the legs and breaks a few ribs, let alone the king of a country?
How could this king of the Middle Tang Dynasty be willing to be looked down upon by the world? He was plotting to overwhelm Lu Yu all the time, he wanted to use facts to prove that others were farting, he wanted to prove that other people's eyeballs were assholes, and the best way was to defeat Lu Yu of Northern Qi and annihilate the so-called snake swallowing army in the sword light of his own soldiers of the Middle Tang Dynasty!
Therefore, there was a joint operation that seemed impossible to outsiders at all, but by mistake, Xirong was trying to get rid of Yuan Hao's shadow at this time. did not hesitate to take risks and pay all the costs, and the young monarch of the Tang Dynasty wanted to gamble in order to get rid of the shadow of his Lao Tzu and Lu Yu
After thinking through all these causes and consequences, Lin Fengjin began to quickly consider his future behavior:
First of all, it must be to avoid any accidents for the family, and then it is to consider what benefits he wants to get from this war, as for the industry of Yedu or something, Lin Fengjin doesn't care very much, Wu Zuocheng has been basically established at this time, which is equivalent to a cornucopia, so those losses are not worth mentioning.
Lin Fengjin before was all about the safety of his family. Now that I think about it again, I suddenly feel that something is not quite right!
Yes, that is obviously the mobilization of the entire Northern Qi army at this time, and the method of dealing with the emergency at this time seems to be too twilight, and it is a bit of a taste of not seeking merit but seeking no fault, this does not seem to be Lu Yu's style at all.
Therefore, Lin Fengjin began to gradually have doubts in his heart at this time, and he began to worry.
Yes, there are some strong concerns:
Did something happen to Lu Yu?
Lin Fengjin knew. It's actually a very stupid thing to talk about a king, because the latter is a perverted creature who can turn his face at any time because of interests or trivial matters, and by the way, kill your whole family, and this kind of thing can be said to be so common in history books that it has formed an aphorism-like bullshit: that is, the king wants his ministers to die. The minister had to die, or any thunder and fish dew, it was all Jun's grace.
However, people are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless. He and Lu Yu met in Teng Snake Ze Longyu, the two were born and died together, and they also tried to entrust their backs to each other at the most dangerous time. Lin Fengjin has done a lot of things for Lu Yu, Lu Yu also believes in him, values him, and does a lot of things for him, the two are close in age, and there is a relationship between monarchs and ministers, but there is also a tacit understanding and friendship.
Therefore, Lin Fengjin immediately had an idea at this time: to find the Snake Devouring Army.
Because where the Snake Devouring Army is, Lu Yu is there.
Lu Yu's trust in the Snake Swallowing Army, Lin Fengjin can be said to be the most clear, he had seen an anecdote in the secret report before, that Lu Yu seemed to be a little irritable and insomnia for a period of time last year, and he couldn't sleep all night long, and taking medicine had no effect, so in a fit of anger, he moved to the barracks of the Snake Swallowing Army to sleep, and the insomnia was immediately cured without medicine.
And if the rest of the people want to find the Snake Devouring Army, it may be difficult, and they feel that they have come and gone without a trace, but for Lin Fengjin, it is not too difficult. In particular, the snake swallower army is still a cavalry, a cavalry with one person and three horses, people can skip food, if the war horse does not have enough forage, beans and eggs, then it will directly lose fat and collapse and strike until finally die.
Therefore, behind Lu Yu's Snake Swallowing Army, there is actually a huge logistics supply system that is tenaciously supported, and how many people and horses there are in the Snake Swallowing Army, then the manpower in this logistics system will have to be tripled to do this better.
With such a huge logistics system, Lu Yu of course needs cadres and capable officials to support him, and he still has to be loyal to himself, so it is not difficult for Lin Fengjin to arrange people to enter it. The problem at the moment is that the renegade Hengbo general Tian Wu is advancing too fast, and where he passes, he has completely uprooted the local intelligence system and official system, even if Lin Fengjin has buried the secret line with the help of the trade road, he has suffered from the pond fish, and the information that Lin Fengjin can get is too little.
As soon as he thought of this, Lin Fengjin became a little anxious in his heart, and swept away a roast leg of lamb in front of him with three strokes and five divisions, and then called someone in and said:
"Any news?"
Soon, an entourage came to report:
"The Xirong people have already determined that they have come to loot, and they have no intention of storming the state city and the capital city, but several county towns that are usually negligent in taking care of defense have been breached, and the people are even more miserable. β
"There are rumors that Yedu has been breached, but this is unlikely, and some people say that the monarch seems to have never appeared. β
"A group of merchants who arrived in the afternoon said that there was no rain in Liudong County, although the road was still very bad. β
After listening to the words of these entourage, Lin Fengjin nodded and said:
"Okay, I know, you go and pass on my orders, just say that you will act according to my plan over there, take your time, enter the customs separately, give priority to preserving your own combat strength, a group of people who can't go into battle I have no use for it, I won't rest here, you prepare some dry cakes and beef for me, and two bags of wine, I will walk the road in Liudong County overnight, and I will contact the local people when I arrive." β
For Lin Fengjin's decision, these people are bowing down and saying yes, so soon, Lin Fengjin is wearing a big hat, draped in oiled paper cloth strode into the heavy rain, because the road is muddy and slippery, with the horse walking slower, one foot into the muddy water The horse can't run, and it is easy to rot hooves, so Lin Fengjin simply walked alone and came more refreshingly, if he used his own method, it only took half the night to get to Liudong County over there, and it didn't rain over there, and then hire a carriage to continue westward, and you could sleep on the road, so that you can save your time to the greatest extentγ
When Lin Fengjin walked to a place twenty miles away from Liudong County, the rain stopped, but here he had already met a large number of refugees who had fled, these refugees were crowded in a village land temple, and the local people were fierce, they organized strong men, with sticks, knives and forks, and these refugees were not allowed to enter the village.
Lin Fengjin didn't have the energy to care about these things at this time, so he could only find a refugee who looked more clever next to him and stuffed him with a dough cake to inquire about the relevant news, but this refugee was also very vague and general, he himself didn't see the soldiers and horses killed on the opposite side at all, just listening to the villagers next to him fleeing in fear, he was just following the flow.
So Lin Fengjin's bread can only be changed to one more useful news, that is, don't hire a carriage to go west, otherwise, the refugees are also disaster victims, these people are because they have lost too many things, so they have become fearless, their hungry green eyes see not horses, but a bowl of broth that can warm the body and fill the belly, and the car they see is good firewood- And Lin Fengjin didn't think that he could convince them, because even the huge dynasties of the past dynasties often collapsed in the hands of these disaster victims and refugees in the end, let alone a mere carriage?
Lin Fengjin is alone, what can he do in the face of the tens of millions of disaster victims? He can only hold his head and run away, he can't take out the end of the world to kill for the sake of a carriage -- people always have a bottom line, so Lin Fengjin can only change his plan, since there is no way to sleep in the hired carriage, he can only find a bed to sleep well.
Fortunately, there is a village here, and the villagers are not out of control, and the fact that they are not out of control means that the gold and silver that Lin Fengjin is carrying can come in handy.
So after a while, Lin Fengjin comfortably scalded his feet with hot water, closed his eyes and leaned on the mattress, although the mattress was old, it had just been washed, exuding the smell of fresh honey locusts that had been sunburned, so he quickly fell asleep, and also made a very indecent snoring sound, listening to this snoring sound, he knew that he slept very sweetly.
On the firewood room where Lin Fengjin was staying, a red dragonfly that looked like an ordinary one stopped and silently stared at the darkness around it. (To be continued......)
