Royal Road - Chapter 212

[Chapter 211 | City]

The war is about to start, and the incense of Huai’en Temple is flourishing again.

Not to mention the wives and daughters of the soldiers, even the family members of generals in the army, there are nine times out of ten that they will come to burn incense.

After all, knives and guns have no eyes, and they are blessed by gods and Buddhas.

Because too many people came to offer incense, it was inconvenient for the female family members of high families to show up.

Usually, they drive lightly and drive directly into the courtyard, and then go to the side hall for incense under the guidance of Zhike monk.

Today, even the carriage of General Fenwei’s family came to the temple.

However, after the car stopped, it was not the female family members who got off the car, but General Fenwei himself.

In just a few days, Linghu Sheng seemed to have aged a lot.

Recruiting soldiers is not an easy task.

With such a chaotic preparation for the war, the generals and soldiers in the army could not hold back and complained again and again.

This is not the end, maybe because he was shocked by Dudu Pei’s actions, even the aristocratic families in the city began to move around frequently, and there were some undercurrents surging.

The Linghu family is also a high-ranking family in Taiyuan, and they are also the army in this battle. How can they be ignored?

Under such circumstances, staying in the mansion was a torment every day.

“General, please come here.” A monk who knew the guest respectfully made a gesture of invitation.

After cleaning up his emotions, Linghu Sheng said nothing and walked into the courtyard behind the monk.

The courtyard of Huai’en Temple is quite tasteful, with winding paths leading to secluded, lush forests and bamboos, and without the sound of incense and people in front, it is very clean.

Passing through the corridor, the two stopped in front of a meditation room, and after the monk informed him, he pushed open the door.

Taking a step forward, Linghu Sheng pointed at the man sitting by the window in the meditation room, bowed his hands and said, “The last general will see the envoy.”

“General Linghu does not need to be polite, please take a seat.” Although his clothes are light and his face is pale, he Liang Feng’s expression is not as peaceful as this meditation room, on the contrary, it is calm and awe-inspiring, as if he has a clear mind.

However, seeing the appearance of Inspector Liang, Linghu Sheng’s heart was relieved, and he sat down in the banquet.

Today is a secret talk. Liang Feng invited Linghu Sheng to Huai’en Temple for a talk.

After all, as Dudu Pei’s generals, it is not appropriate for the two to meet before the war, so it is better to act cautiously.

When the people were seated, and tea was served, Liang Feng said slowly: “General Linghu has really worked hard to recruit troops these days.

” It’s about to make trouble.” Linghu Sheng sighed softly, “Even so, there is still a lot of trouble there…” I

don’t know if it was intentional or not, but now the gossip that Pei Dun’s heart is in Hedong has spread all over Jin. Yang family.

Bingzhou is different from other states and counties. It has always had a strong human nature and is accustomed to military and horses.

In the Jinyang Army, there are not many powerful families, so Pei Dun’s order to send troops this time can be regarded as a hornet’s nest.

Taking advantage of the weakness of the Huns, it is not a problem to recover Lishi.

But in order to understand the siege of Hedong, go to attack Lishi?

They have just taken a breath from the siege, how can they say that they will serve others first regardless of their own family?

Liang Feng snorted: “But who has spoken to General Linghu?”

“Guo, Sun, Zheng, and Li all have guests…” Linghusheng thoughtfully opened his mouth, “I’m afraid it’s the exception of Wang’s. , Jinyang gentry will more or less hate that person.”

Although the Wang clan is the head of the Taiyuan gentry, but now the position is a bit embarrassing.

That is Pei Dun’s in-law, and almost married Liang Feng.

At this moment, Wang Wen is not in Bingzhou, and his attitude is even more ambiguous.

However, even if they bypassed the Wang family, Bingzhou Gaomen also showed their due attitude.

Of course, Sun Li’s previous movements were indispensable for such a result.

Liang Feng nodded: “Bingzhou is not a family’s place. If someone does something wrong, it will naturally provoke public anger.”

“Then what should we do?” Linghusheng asked in a low voice.

No matter how much Gaomen hates this new governor, the military order is there.

Moreover, Pei Dun has already reported to the court that he needs food and weapons, and he can’t take his life back.

This expedition is really difficult to escape.

So fighting this battle is even more important.

After losing the battle, they jointly wrote to the court to persuade Sima Yue to remove Pei Dun?

Or unite with the various families in Jinyang, put pressure on Pei Dun, and see if he can make the boy retreat?

“General Linghu thinks this battle is difficult to win?” Liang Feng asked rhetorically.

“Li Shi’s soldiers are outnumbered, but this is the side of the Huns. I’m afraid that once the fight begins, the other side will send generals. Moreover, the Baibu Xianbei in Xinxing County is also in trouble. Taking the opportunity to counterattack Jinyang, our army is attacked by the enemy. How can we win?” Linghu Sheng was older than the battle, how could he not be aware of the current situation?

“I can’t attack Li Shi. Even if I attack it, I won’t be able to eat it.” Liang Feng gave a simple answer.

Lishi has been plagued by locusts for a year, not to mention food, not even grass.

In such a place, it is in vain to fight, it is impossible to be stationed, and it is impossible to develop in a short period of time.

It has to bear the attack of the Huns, which is not worth the loss.

Linghusheng was about to nod his head, but Liang Feng continued: “However, Lishi is hopeless, what about the other cities?”

Linghusheng was stunned, and blinked involuntarily, “Your Majesty wants to attack other cities?

” This time, Shangdang will also send troops to help Dudu Pei.” Liang Feng gave a piece of news that no one else knew.

Linghu Sheng hissed softly: “If the Huns paid attention to the army, the Jingling and Zhongdu cities would seem to relax their vigilance. But if you made this move, wouldn’t the army be used as a bait?

” What else can be achieved?” Liang Feng asked rhetorically.

“This…” Linghu Sheng was at a loss for words.

Yes, people are so messed up, what else can be achieved?

However, he quickly reacted, “In this way, did the envoy violate the military order?”

The partial division of Shangdang was going to support the main force, so they ran to attack the city like this, and Pei Dun would definitely put all the blame on Liang. on the peak.

Even if you win, you may not be able to get good fruit to eat.

“The battlefield is changing rapidly, who knows what will happen. I heard that the central army will be accompanied by Yuan Jun?” Liang Feng did not answer directly, and the conversation suddenly changed.

A thin layer of chestnut immediately rose on Linghu Sheng’s back. Does this mean…

But the pair of black eyes on the opposite side are incomparably sharp, and they have a certain Shen Yi.

When the words came to his lips, Linghusheng changed his words: “…What the envoy said is very true. Going to war has its own risks, whether it is a blessing or a curse, who can predict?”

Hearing Linghusheng’s answer, Liang Feng nodded with satisfaction: “The attack on Lishi is still extremely dangerous. I hope General Linghu will be careful not to lose the control of the army. There are not many soldiers and horses left in Bingzhou. General Lai Linghu has saved this little fire.”

“This, the general must do his best at the end.” Linghu Sheng answered this time with a much firmer attitude.

That sentence just now almost sentenced Pei Dun to life and death.

It seems that the Liang Inspector is not ready to let Dudu Pei return to Jinyang.

However, as long as he didn’t do it himself, Linghu Sheng really didn’t mind letting the surname Pei Yi get over it.

Anyway, you are going to fight, and if you die, it can only be regarded as dying for the country.

As for himself, saving the lives of more soldiers is the key.

“That’s right.” Linghusheng thought of another thing, “What if the Xianbei Baibu took the opportunity to attack Jinyang?”

“I will defend Jinyang and the army behind.” Liang Feng replied simply.

This time, as the bait, it’s not just the Bingzhou soldiers and horses led by Pei Dun?

Jinyang City is also a live bait. It only depends on whether the fish is dead or the net is broken.

No one knows better than Linghusheng the strength of this envoy’s subordinates, he sighed softly, and he bowed again: “It is a blessing to have an envoy in charge of the state!”

Without comparison, there is no distinction between superior and inferior.

.

Can another governor or governor do better than the one in front of him?

Linghu Sheng has now made up his mind. In the turbulent times, he still has to choose people who are worthy of refuge.

And the Liang family is really related to Bingzhou.

Under the leadership of Liang Xi, the government was harmonious, and the Rong and Di were all retreating from the scene. I wonder if I can see it again in my lifetime?

※

“Brother Xian, I’m afraid it will be difficult for our brothers to get together again this time.” In the barracks, Li Jun was also full of desolation.

Who would have thought that after the arrival of the new governor, he would directly send troops to attack Lishi?

Moreover, he is not dead, he has no contacts in this part of the war, and was selected as the striker.

Li Shi is the Huns’ nest!

In a real fight, the odds of winning are really unpredictable. I am so lucky, I am afraid that it will come to an end!

“Brother Li’s words are too frustrating. In battle, the brave always wins. As long as the army is properly commanded, it won’t hurt too many people.” Yi Yan had been drinking with them a lot these days.

“That’s you, Yi Boyuan!” Li Jun snorted, “Jinyang soldiers are not as good as Shangdang, if you were with the army, I’m afraid it would be better. Now if you change to a leading commander who is thinking about Hedong, you should seek more blessings from yourself. ”

Not only Li Jun, but even those generals under his command sighed.

The following people don’t know, but these generals have heard about it for a long time, and the surnamed Pei is not authentic, so he rescued his Hedong family with the state soldiers.

If it weren’t for the military orders, and the Shangguan pressing down, I’m afraid they would all give up.

What are you talking about?

The Inspector Liang came, and everyone rewarded the merits of defending the city.

The governors who are serious, don’t care about their lives.

Rather than this, it is better to let the prefect in charge of the army!

“Brother Li has also been diligent in training these days. The soldiers have made more progress. When they are on the battlefield, they have a chance to survive.” Yiyan said again.

Li Jun could not refute this point.

Although he is a guest general, Yi Yan is really good to him. Drinking is a trivial matter, and that little bit of training and guidance is even more beneficial.

It’s just that I don’t know how fast this gun is, can it stop the enemy?

“If I had known this, I should have practiced for a few more days.” Li Jun said with a wry smile, “Boyuan, you soldiers are guarding Jinyang, but you have to be careful. If this Jinyang city is lost, it will be irreversible… Ah bah. Of course there will be no loss!”

After Li Jun finished speaking, he realized that this was too frustrating, and he pouted a few times, trying to get rid of his bad luck.

Yi Yan’s expression did not change: “Brother Li, don’t worry, as long as you are in Jinyang, you will never lose this city!”

His tone was extremely decisive, and Li Jun felt relieved when he heard it.

You can’t feel it until the time of war. Who doesn’t want such a friendly army to flank their own home?

It’s just that Governor Pei conscripted almost all the guards in the city.

“It’s all fate!” Li Jun took a sip, and stood up with a wine bowl, “If this time comes back safely, I will go to Huai’en Temple to burn its incense for three days and three nights! I’ll ask you, virtuous brother, Have a good drink!”

When suddenly mentioning Wynn Temple, there are naturally some deep meanings in the words.

Li Jun did not believe in Buddhism before.

Yiyan also got up and raised a bowl to greet him: “Brother Li and all the brothers, don’t worry, you will return safely from this battle!”

Although he didn’t say it clearly, Yiyan knew that the hearts of these people were completely biased towards the lord.

As long as he can teach those methods to work, this army will definitely be included under the lord’s command after returning and become another available soldier.

For this goal, he has thought of a lot of ways.

The wine bowls collided boldly in one place, and there was nothing left to drink.

Two days later, the Governor’s Mansion took the oath to order troops, and brought a mighty army to kill Li Shi!
