Chapter 624 Homecoming
"General Wei is relieved. ”
The generals on Wei Rui's side were also angry, but when they saw Wei Rui smiling and vomiting blood, these people were all shocked and rushed forward.
"The Northern Wei army has suffered too much damage, the general trend has gone, even if they can't annihilate most of it today, they can't turn the sky upside down. ”
A subordinate general put his hand against his back, continuously sending precious true yuan into his body, calming Wei Rui's churning qi and blood, and at the same time said urgently.
"No, it doesn't matter. ”
Wei Rui straightened up and shook his head at the general with a wry smile, his eyes narrowed tightly in the torrential rain, and the corners of his eyes were full of wrinkles.
He looked at the dark night in the north and let out a long sigh, "I'm not worried that I can't win this battle, but I'm worried about the world of his Xiao family." It would be fine if this person commanded the whole army, but this is Xiao Hong, the king of Linchuan, and he is the emperor's younger brother. ””
These generals were all speechless.
Raindrops hit the iron armor on their bodies, flowing in through the cracks in the iron armor, layer by layer on their skin.
Their hearts were a little cold.
Some chills.
Whose world is this?
Regardless of how many brothers they saw with their own eyes in the past, from the Battle of Zhongli to the present, how many brothers have they seen in the battle day and night, and in successive battles?
They can die in battle, they can die for a military order, but it is too chilling to see that the fruits of the final victory are in front of them, but they are forced to stop because of such a military order.
These people at this time were the epitome of all the border armies of the Southern Dynasty, and Xiao Hong's conservatism and weakness were the epitome of the entire Jiankang Imperial City at this time.
A young cultivator stood not far behind these border generals.
He is tolerant.
From Zhongli City to here, he saw more tragic battle formations.
In Zhongli City, it was all the troops of the Northern Wei Dynasty who rushed to the death, but the closer he got to the north, the more he saw his Southern Dynasty troops rushing to the enemy because of an order, even if it was just to exhaust the opponent's arrows.
The mood of watching one's own people die like this is completely different from watching the Northern Wei army die like this.
Rong Yi thought about the so many people who disappeared in Zhongli City, looking at Wei Rui's bleak smile in front of him, watching the rain splash on his body, he only felt that these raindrops were like countless arrows, it was really ten thousand arrows piercing his heart.
......
On a certain road to the south, several carriages were struggling to move forward on the muddy road, the rain was too heavy, and these carriages were not those extraordinarily luxurious carriages, not only the fine mist in the cracks of the windows kept pouring in, but even the cracks in the wood, there was constant seepage.
"It's raining so much, even this carriage is leaking, why don't you choose a place to camp and leave again in the morning?"
In one of the carriages, a middle-aged man reached out to catch a few drops of water falling from the top of his head, and when he saw that even the cushion under his body became dripping with water, he couldn't help but shake his head, patted the wall of the carriage, and said to the driver in front of him.
This man doesn't look very old, but his hair is gray, adding a bit of old look.
His face is six or seven points similar to Lin Yi, as long as he is familiar with Lin Yi, even if he has never seen this man before, I am afraid that he will immediately associate him with Lin Yi, and he will be able to wake up in an instant, this man should be Lin Yi's father Lin Wangbei.
Before, he was a general of the border army and was bent on going north, but when the old dynasty and the new dynasty changed, he became a criminal minister.
After many years of waiting, he finally embarked on the journey back to his hometown.
"General Lin, the rainstorm is naturally difficult, but the slower the car, the more dare not stop, we can't send you to the next post station on time, the light is whipped, and the heavy is the matter of losing your head, I hope you will bear more." ”
The voice of the driver of the escort car sounded in the rain.
He spoke very politely, although Lin Wangbei was pardoned and was able to return to Changling to retire, but at most he was exonerated from his crimes, not a court official, this person is still called a general, so he is even more respectful.
"Really?"
Lin Wangbei shook his head lightly with some emotion, but the look on his face was a little strange, "You have been extremely polite to me for more than ten days, and you have taken good care of me, I thought, if you show a little unbearable, I may be able to spare your life, but unfortunately everything is fake, if you die here, I don't think I will bear it." ”
The whole body of the carriage shook, and the coachman driving the carriage fluctuated violently, and his hands unconsciously reined in the horse, and the horse, which had been a little unstable in the mud, suddenly neighed and almost fell.
The carriages in front and behind did not expect such a strange movement, and there was a shout from behind, and the two horses pulling the carriage almost collided directly with the carriage that had come to a sudden halt in the rain curtain.
"General Lin, I don't know what you mean. ”
The coachman's voice continued to sound, trembling a little.
"Why should a wise man speak secret words? ”
Lin Wangbei smiled slightly and said, "Didn't you ambush two thousand soldiers and horses in the river valley ahead?"
The whole carriage shook suddenly, but suddenly it came to absolute standstill.
The coachman on the front of the carriage suddenly exuded a heavy momentum like a mountain, and pressed the wheels of the entire carriage into the mud until it was halfway through.
The two horses were so frightened that they fell to their knees at the same time.
"You know that very well?"
The driver on the front of the car was silent for a breath, and then slowly turned around, he was a man in his forties, with a dark complexion and a conspicuous flesh mole on his eyebrows.
He frowned deeply, and the flesh mole became extremely ruddy, "It's just General Lin, since you know so well, why do you still think you can kill me?"
"Because you don't know me well enough, the few people who really knew me in the previous dynasty are also dead. ”
Lin Wangbei restrained his smile and said calmly: "Actually, everyone knows that among those border army generals who had the same rank as me back then, my cultivation should be the worst. ”
"Those people are all higher in cultivation than me. ”
He paused, repeated a sentence like this, and then said: "My military exploits are not bad, and I have won a lot of beautiful battles, but you never thought that if it wasn't for the old dynasty to change to the new dynasty, when I was three years later, I would have to be promoted to the rank of first-order general, then my cultivation is not higher than them, and my combat achievements may not be much higher than them, why do you want to mention me first when I am promoted?"
The driver on the front of the car frowned even deeper.
He wasn't in a hurry.
He could continue such a conversation, and in his opinion, the more he stalled, the better it would be for him.
"Maybe it's because you have the best relationship with the emperor of the previous dynasty and are the most loyal in his opinion?"
He looked at the carriage in front of him and said.
He wasn't joking.
Because that seems to be the best possible.
Lin Wangbei shook his head.
"Because I'm younger than the ones they are. He calmly gave the correct answer, "The speed of my cultivation is actually faster than all of them, and besides, several people in the palace knew that some of my staff members were much more powerful than the staff of the rest of the generals." ”
