Chapter 580: The Golden Horde of the Prairie King's Court
Just when Xu Beiyou and Zhang Wuxian were "planning in the secret room", the grassland army had already followed the line of the Xiliang Corridor and went straight to the middle capital.
This time, it was no longer the soldiers who were divided into two routes, but Lin Han and Lin Shu's army cooperated together, and Lin Han personally led the army.
Although Lin Han once said that the grassland army could bypass the Central Capital and go straight to the Central Plains Mansion, Lin Han did not plan to do so, because bypassing the Central Capital would undoubtedly leave a big trouble behind him, and there would be a hidden danger of being cut off at any time, and this would also give Zhang Wuxi's Northwest Army a chance to breathe.
Lin Han spent a lot of effort to cripple the Northwest Army, how could he let them recover and become his confidant again.
Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots as soon as possible to prevent future troubles is the right way.
Lin Han also thought so, this Shura general stopped and looked at the distance when there were still about a hundred miles away, and he was indifferent to the upcoming cruel war, as well as the bloody war that had already occurred, which could be described as hard-hearted.
In the war on the Hexi Plain, which ended not long ago, both the northwest and the grassland can be said to have suffered heavy casualties, and Zhang Wuzhi had no choice but to invest in the cavalry army directly under the Northwest Governor's Mansion, 3,000 genuine heavy cavalry troops, all men and horses were wearing armor, and broke the grassland cavalry on the frontal battlefield.
It's just that after a round of charge, this formed heavy cavalry army was almost completely killed and wounded, and it was difficult to form a charge. On the other hand, Lin Han's grassland army, although it was also seriously damaged, there were almost no infantry in the grassland, all cavalry, and under the huge base, the army still maintained a complete structure. On the contrary, the Northwest Army, although the number of cavalry is already the largest number of the five forbidden armies, but it is still not comparable to the grassland army, after this cavalry war, Zhang Wuzhi, who has become a broken kettle, had to give up Liangzhou, and the whole army retreated into the territory of Shaanzhou.
After this battle, Lin Han did not hesitate at all, did not covet the land of Liangzhou, but after a short rest, he ordered the whole army to ban the army in Shaanzhou, and refused to give Zhang Wuxian the slightest respite, and was bound to completely crush Zhang Wuxian to death in one breath.
Lin Han was stationed on a small hill, from which the outline of Xiaobai Mountain, which was connected to the Great Snow Mountain, was faintly visible, and on the side of Xiaobai Mountain, was the middle capital city that blocked Lin Han's ambition in the Central Plains.
Lin Han raised the horsewhip in his hand and said, "I haven't been back to that city for a while. ”
Lin Shu, who stopped on Lin Han's side, also saw the faint outline of Xiaobai Mountain, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "When I go back this time, my father will be able to reminisce about the old feelings." ”
Lin Han, who was already gray-haired, retracted his gaze, "What is the old feeling, back then in that city, after all, it was just a fence, the royal court is our foundation, the imperial capital is our goal, and the central capital is just a small post station on our way forward." ”
After hearing this, Lin Shu smiled and said, "Father is so courageous. ”
Lin Han said with a smile: "Spirit, in the final analysis, it still depends on the result." At that time, my brother-in-law, that is, Xiao Yu, sat in the central capital, and was regarded by countless Central Plains scholars as looking down on the Central Plains. ”
Lin Han shook the whip in his hand, whipped out a loud whip, and continued: "I have been by his side for so many years, what swallows thousands of miles like a tiger, what tiger looks at the Central Plains, what is a slight kick, it is the Central Plains Lu Shen, they are all farts, in the final analysis, they are all forced out, if it weren't for the fact that Da Zheng Shenzong was full of food and wanted to send Xu Lin's army to conquer the so-called Xiao Yi, where would there be a later entry into the northwest?" With the strength of our troops at that time, it was impossible to break through the central capital garrisoned by 230,000 troops under any circumstances, so we would not be able to enter the northwest, and there would be no later Dingding of the world. ”
There was a moment of silence between father and son.
"Do you know why your father is telling you this?" Lin Han asked after breaking the silence.
Lin Shu said: "What my father means is that the reason why we have come to this point today is nothing more than being forced out, my father is old, and he is already at the age of retirement, and the reason why he is willing to take great risks to conspire with Xiao Jin, Daomen and others in the world is not for himself, but for our grassland, but also for future generations." ”
A smile of relief appeared on Lin Han's face, this is the reason why he likes this fourth son the most, unlike his eldest son, who is a reckless and rough man who can only lead troops, nor like his second son, who is a waste who indulges in wine all day long, not to mention his third son who can only play tricks, this fourth son is a rare all-round talent in civil and military affairs.
Of course, the most important point is that Lin Shu is not very old and can afford to wait, and when Lin Shu inherits the throne, it is just the year of not being confused, and it is the time when he is in the prime of life.
Unlike his eldest son, who had the idea of not moving, he actually wanted to assassinate his father with a Ming Di during the hunt, but after the defeat, Lin Han did not care about the relationship between father and son, and directly asked the golden sword guards of the royal court to cut off the head of the eldest son and make it into a wine cup to show warning to the other three sons.
After this incident, the second son, who was not outstanding, became more and more depressed, indulging in wine all day long, and the third son also lost his ambition, leaving only one Lin Shu.
Lin Shu looked at his father's face and said softly: "Father is right, since we have provoked Daqi, even if we want to stop now, Daqi will not let us go." Therefore, we must conquer Zhongdu as soon as possible, and then take Zhongdu as the foundation to form the trend of Xiao Yu's tiger looking at the Central Plains back then, so that the advance can be attacked, and the retreat can be defended. ”
Lin Shu hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "My son is willing to share his father's worries and take the central capital." ”
Lin Han smiled, "It's up to you, the reason why I didn't divide my troops this time was not because I couldn't trust you, but because of your strength alone, I couldn't attack Zhongdu at all." After all, not everyone is Xu Beiyou, who can change the general trend of the world with his own strength, such a person will only appear in five hundred years. ”
Although these words sounded harsh, Lin Shu still heard a little extraneous sound, raised his head in shock, and looked at his father: "What does my father mean...... Xu Beiyou has already rushed to Zhongdu?"
Lin Han suddenly increased his tone, "It's not to rush to the Central Capital, but it's already in the Central Capital!"
Lin Shu was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "How did my father know?"
Lin Han's face showed a majesty that made Lin Shudu feel awe-inspiring, "I am the Golden Horde King of the Prairie Court, and I bear the life and death of millions of children in the Prairie on my shoulders, I know what I know, and I also know what you don't know, now Xiao Huaiyu has died in the hands of this young junior, do I dare not know?"
This kind of majesty, when Lin Han was in his prime, he could often see grandeur, but after Lin Han's old age, it was not common, and the only time Lin Shu saw it was when Lin Han decided to execute his eldest son.
Seeing his father's majesty today, Lin Shu's heart was awe-inspiring, and he hurriedly whispered, "My son understands. ”
