The Grandmaster Strategist

On the seventh day of April, Yong's army fled. Daizhou's Qingqi blocked the way. General Long Tingfei followed the army to the border of Zeqin. Before the battle between the two armies was over, Yong's ambush was exhausted. Changsun Ji followed Emperor Yong's order. Hidden traces and flags, lurking here for many days, 360,000 Yong troops trapped the Northern Han army in the wild.

——"Zi Zhi Tong Jian Yong Ji III"

When it is warm and then cold, it is most difficult to catch your breath. The small village where I temporarily stayed is already full of spring. The apricot flowers all over the village are already in bloom, red, pink, and white, clusters in clusters, delicate and fresh. , the most touching sparse shadows of apricot blossoms.

I asked Xiao Shunzi to lay a brocade felt in the pavilion at the entrance of the village, and put a brocade curtain around it. A stove was placed next to it, and a pot of fine Fen wine was warmed on it. This large copper pot can hold ten kilograms of wine, which is most suitable. Gathered for drinks. I was wrapped in a large cloak and sat on a Taishi chair covered with a black bear skin. The warm and comfortable fur made me feel completely relaxed.

The breath warmed my slightly cold hands, facing the apricot blossoms outside the threshold, I couldn't help but feel drunk, and looked at the big copper pot. Before I opened my mouth, Xiao Shunzi already understood, took out a small silver pot, and took out a small silver pot from the copper pot. I filled it with wine, then poured out a cup of hot wine from the silver pot, filled it with a white jade cup and handed it to me. I was satisfied as I watched the originally clear Fenjiu turn amber in the white jade cup of excellent quality. Taking a sip. At this time, the sound of galloping horse hooves came to my ears. I raised my head and saw a group of knights coming from Juechen. The leader was Li Xian, the unwashed King of Qi, followed by a group of personal guards. When he got close, Li Xian lost his reins and strode into the pavilion. I put down my wine glass, stood up and greeted him respectfully: "I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you, your lord?"

Li Xian looked at me for a long time, the expressions in his eyes changing. After a long time, he said: "Suiyun, what you expected is correct. I have been defeated in a row. If you hadn't made arrangements in advance and set up an army to ambush, I'm afraid this time it would be a disastrous defeat." Go back, but Suiyun, although I expected that you would mobilize troops from elsewhere, otherwise I would have known about your arrangements, I still didn't expect that the emperor brother would be so generous this time. Aren't you worried about the safety of the imperial capital? Don't hide it. I, there is still a threat in Nanchu, Li Kang is trying to make a move in Dongchuan, I know it, aren't you afraid that someone will take the opportunity to cause trouble?"

I smiled and said, "Your Majesty is overly worried. The Great Yongjiang Mountain is as stable as Mount Tai. Your Majesty has already made arrangements. However, Zhe needs to apologize to Your Majesty. Only then did he learn that the Northern Han Army was in ambush. I have sent someone to send me an urgent note of 800 miles, saying Our army suffered a disastrous defeat in the Qinshui Valley, please Your Majesty to send reinforcements as soon as possible."

Li Xian's expression changed, and then he laughed and said: "That's it, that's it. Suiyun, you really have your own ups and downs in your heart. In your heart, the Northern Han War situation is just a corner of the chessboard. You must have become an old man." I have set a trap, and I am just waiting for the overall situation on my side to be settled, so that I can invite you into the trap."

I said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about these trivial things, Your Majesty. It's true that Your Majesty has been working very hard these days. Zhe has prepared some wine to wash away the dust for Your Majesty. It's time for Your Majesty to have a drink first."

Li Xian sat on the chair with a golden sword and said with a big smile: "I have learned a lesson from you, Suiyun. It's also my fault that I was arrogant before. I just said let you do what you want without asking any more questions. As a result, I became the king." I don't blame these kings for losing your chess pieces, but this time I almost lost my life, so you should make some compensation."

I smiled faintly and waved my hand. Xiao Shunzi took a brocade box and handed it to Li Xian. Li Xian looked at the brocade box curiously and was about to reach out to open it, but I smiled and said, "It's not easy for others to see the things in the box." , Your Majesty, please go back and see." Li Xianben didn't care much, so he waved his hand to a guard to take it away. He took the wine glass handed by Xiao Shunzi, drank it down in one gulp, and said lazily: "Originally, I wanted to be with you. Comparing with each other, if I can win all the way, all your arrangements will be in vain. I didn't expect that Long Tingfei is so powerful, but I am still not as good as me, and end up with a miserable defeat and escape. If I didn't know in advance that you had an arrangement, I would The king followed your instructions to lure the enemy into an ambush, I am afraid that today the king will become Dayong's sinner."

I saw that Li Xian was a little depressed and said seriously: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. Everyone knows that the Northern Han army is powerful. Your Majesty only brought one hundred thousand cavalry.

General Jing only had 30,000 infantry and cavalry, and the favorable location and people were all owned by the enemy. The prince was able to preserve the main force of the cavalry, and after the disastrous defeat in the Qinshui Valley, he remained unyielding and fought hard to lure the enemy into an ambush. This was what the famous general did . The prince did not care about reputation or danger, and personally lured the enemy. Without the prince, how could Long Tingfei go all the way south unprepared. The ensuing war was just about the strong bullying the weak. The prince was the first to contribute to the Northern Expedition. This is what I say from the bottom of my heart. Please take it into consideration, Your Majesty. "

Li Xian's heart warmed up. He had suffered a lot this time. Although he had achieved his intended goal, it was a huge defeat on the surface. He couldn't help but feel a little useless, but after listening to Jiang Zhe's painstaking efforts to comfort him, he gradually became more enlightened. Smiling, I raised the jade cup. Seeing this, I quickly took the cup myself and filled the wine glass. Li Xian smiled and said: "That's all, no matter whether we win or lose, if Sui Yun can drink in person, it is considered a worthwhile trip."

I saw that King Qi had eliminated all the obstacles in his chest, and I felt a little relieved. In fact, I felt a little sad about the heavy losses. Although I was preparing to defeat the enemy, I was stunned by how ruthless Long Tingfei was. This time it was not so much a scam. Lure the enemy out of defeat, rather take advantage of the defeat to lure out the enemy, but now that the overall situation has been decided, it is okay not to mention this matter, so as not to embarrass the King of Qi. After a few more drinks, I also drank one myself, with a hint of blush on my pale face. Seeing this, Li Xian hurriedly asked: "Suiyun, how is your health? But has the old disease relapsed?"

I was startled, then smiled and said: "It's not that serious, it's just that Zhe can't bear to be tired. Now that the overall situation has been decided, the rest of the war will be arranged by the prince. Zhe can rest for a while and he will recover soon."

Li Xian felt relieved and said: "You can't be lazy. What should be done next? You have to make plans. Whether Long Tingfei and Lin Bi are to be killed or captured, do you have any plans for what our army should do next?"

I looked up at the floating clouds in the sky and chuckled: "Why does the prince need to ask me these things? It's just that Lin Bi is related to the movements of the Daizhou Army and cannot be dealt with casually. If possible, please try to capture him alive and hand them over to the emperor for disposal. But there is something Regarding this matter, whether Xuan Song is alive or dead, does the prince have any news?"

Li Xian frowned and said: "During the ambush in the river valley, I deliberately captured a Northern Han general alive, but he claimed not to know. However, Long Tingfei was ruthless. Almost all our warriors were killed in the sea of ​​fire that day. I am afraid that Xuan Song will not be able to escape either. level."

I sighed: "After I learned that General Xuan was missing, I made a divination lesson. The divination contained the meaning of escaping from death, so I was always lucky. Now that Longting's flying soldiers are trapped here, Qinyuan will definitely be in chaos. We need to send spies to investigate. If General Xuan survives, he can be rescued. Xiao Shunzi, can you go and do this?"

Xiao Shunzi frowned lightly, but said nothing. He knew that Jiang Zhe often felt guilty for Xuan Song. This time he was very ill, and that was also the reason. However, if he was asked to leave the young master's side, he was unwilling to do so in every possible way. .

Li Xiandao: "I can't let go of General Xuan. Let's just let Su Qing lead the best men in the camp. She is very capable and will definitely fulfill her mission."

I shook my head and said: "Although General Su is outstanding, Duan Wudi is not an easy person to deal with. He was defeated by General Su in the past because he was trapped by an old love. Now I am afraid that General Su will have a hard time succeeding. Besides, if there is a demon in Qinyuan, Master Zong, General Su can’t grow a forest by himself. General Xuan’s matter is of great importance. If Xiao Shunzi doesn’t go, I can’t feel at ease. As for my safety, Zhang Jinxiong has returned, so let him be responsible for guarding, Emei Ling Zhenzi We can also help.”

Seeing that I had made up my mind, Xiao Shunzi had no choice but to say: "Since the young master is so determined, I will go to Qinyuan in person right now. Please take care of the young master if he is in danger."

Li Xiandao: "Don't worry, after I re-establish the Chinese army camp, I will let Sui Yun return to the camp."

Seeing that the matter had been discussed, I smiled and said, "Why don't you see Jing Chi? I heard that he is fine too?"

Li Xian chuckled and said: "This guy was worried that you would punish him, so he finally held on to Changsun Ji, saying that he wanted to see Long Tingfei's tragic situation after being surrounded. He said nothing and came to see you with me."

I smiled lightly and said, "Is he afraid that I will blame him for the massacre of the city?"

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Li Xian's eyes, and he said: "I wonder how you could accept Suiyun as your disciple. If he were smarter, you would know that you wouldn't blame him for his unusual behavior. He diverted his troops to attack from afar. If he hadn't been decisive in killing him, he would have I'm afraid I'll get into a tough fight, but although you are ruthless, you are usually gentle and elegant, making people forget that you are a hard-hearted person."

I ignored King Qi's evaluation of me and said calmly: "Although I don't blame him, I have to punish him. I think the emperor will also give him some punishment. Maybe the credit this time will be lost. After all, Dayong will be the king in the future." To appease the people of the Northern Han Dynasty."

Li Xian smiled and shook his head, saying: "I don't bother to care about these things. The emperor has his own discretion. Suiyun, since Lin Bi cannot be killed, is there any way to shake the morale of the Daizhou army? I have seen Daizhou in these days." The army is so powerful, if such iron cavalry are capable of killing, our army will probably suffer heavy losses."

Daizhou, I said in a ruffled voice: "But look at the Hu horses, taking in the spring scenery of Yanmen. Within ten days, the barbarians will attack Daizhou. There are only ten thousand cavalry in Daizhou. Facing the barbarian iron cavalry, they must be overly prepared." However, the strength is insufficient. Now Lin Yuanting is ill in Daizhou. Lin Chengyi and Lin Chengyou who stayed in Daizhou are more than brave but not resourceful. The youngest daughter Lin Tong has never led an army, which is probably the worst. As long as the news is spread, the Daizhou army Where is the desire to fight to the death? If a decisive battle cannot be fought within ten days, I am afraid that Lin Bi will not be able to control the actions of the Daizhou Army."

Li Xian was about to nod when the sound of shattering cups and plates came to his ears. Li Xian heard the sound and looked away. Among the apricot blossoms, a young man in his twenties stood under a tree of pink apricot blossoms. His expression was stunned and his face was pale. At his feet , a celadon plate was smashed to pieces, and dried fruit cakes were scattered on the ground. Li Xian was stunned. He recognized this young man as Sui Yun's subordinate attendant Chi Ji. He had met him several times before, but he didn't know why he was so frightened.

A cold light flashed in Xiao Shunzi's eyes, and he said coldly: "Chiji, retreat and face the wall to think about your mistakes. You are not allowed to go out without permission."

Li Xian felt strange in his heart, but when he saw Xiao Shunzi punishing the young man so directly without any intention of letting him know the reason, he could only laugh it off. Who would have thought that the young man actually threw himself in front of the pavilion, knelt down and prostrated himself and said, "I ask for your grace, sir, to allow Chi Ji to go to Daizhou." Li Xian was shocked, and his eyes fell on Jiang Zhe's face, and he saw that Jiang Zhe looked calm and composed. , but his expression was a little more solemn.

Chi Ji didn't understand what he said until he knelt on the ground, but he didn't regret it at all. Even though the result of saying these words might be to be detained and lose everything he currently has, he didn't regret it at all. At this moment, the only thing in his heart was the pretty girl in red, the figure that had haunted him since she returned from the East China Sea. Although Pirate Li had warned him at the beginning that since he had misplaced his affection, he had to face it bravely, but he finally realized that he was just a coward. He escaped from all this, followed the princess back to Chang'an, and received a secret order to go to Nanchu to rectify the secret. Pavilion Information Network. In the end, he couldn't hold it any longer and took the prince's order to come to the Northern Han Dynasty. He thought he could cruelly watch the beautiful girl die on the battlefield or by a butcher's knife, but when he knew that Daizhou was in desperate situation, At that time, he still collapsed. At this moment, he just wanted to go to Daizhou and fight side by side with her, even if he died.

I sighed: "The long ravine is silent as the moon passes, and in the sparse shadows of the apricot blossoms, I play the flute until dawn. I heard you playing the flute last night, and I already felt the lingering emotions in it. You have been with me for nearly ten years, you should know my Temper, I never like to force others to do things. If you leave my family from now on, I will let you go to Daizhou. But Daizhou can't withstand the intrusion of barbarians, but it can't withstand the trampling of Dayong's cavalry. The relationship between you and the little princess is just a mirror. , Chi Ji, do you really want to give up your beautiful future and live and die with her?"

Chi Ji's tears slid down quietly and he said: "Young Master took Chi Ji by your side. All the skills Chi Ji has today are given by Young Master. My subordinates also thought about meeting her on the battlefield in life and death, but now they know that she will I really can't let go of fighting the barbarians. Instead of fighting her to the death in the future, I would rather die outside Yanmen Pass to protect her. If the young master is merciful and allows Chi Ji to go to Daizhou to help her, and the barbarians retreat, even Chi Ji will still survive. I am willing to die to thank you, and I will never reveal any of your secrets."

I shook my head gently and said after a while: "You have fallen in love with playing the flute since you came from Donghai. Play a song for me today. If I think it's good, I will let you go."

Confusion flashed in Chi Ji's eyes, but he always had only respect and fear for Jiang Zhe. He took out a yellow bamboo flute, knelt on the ground and started playing. Chi Ji was originally an orphan wandering in the Chu region. Playing the flute was a common thing, and it didn't matter whether he liked it or not. Later, he wandered around the world and died in a blink of an eye. He no longer had the enthusiasm to play the flute. But after the East China Sea, he often felt melancholy in his heart. He couldn't help but pick up his childhood hobby and play the flute to relieve his depression. He was originally a smart man, and he also studied music with Jiang Zhi. Although it was only a few months, he had already played the flute. It's quite touching. When he played the flute last night, he was full of lovesickness, so he played a popular flute song in the south of the Yangtze River, "Plum Blossoms Fall." A piece that he was not very familiar with, "Folding Willows". This was a piece that he heard when he was in Daizhou. He accidentally wrote down the score. Later, when he returned to Nanchu, he sorted it out in his spare time and practiced it. He played it several times today, and although it was still a bit obscure, the emotion in the music suited his heart. The sound of the flute was clear and clear, blowing through the depths of the sky. There was also the sound of gold and silver and the sound of swords and guns in the mood of farewell.

It doesn't matter that he played the flute, but it made the heart of those who were interested burn. Not far away, a group of people led their horses and walked towards here. The leader was Jing Chi who had delayed for a long time and finally had to come. He pestered Changsun Ji to stay. In the army, Changsun Ji couldn't help laughing and persuaded him that it would be better to go to see Jiang Zhe early. No matter whether it was to bear the burden or to apologize, it would be the end after all, so Jing Chi finally went to see Jiang Zhe with more than ten personal guards, and everyone accompanying him There was also Dai Yao among them, and he deliberately showed his eagerness to see him. Jing Chi had also gotten along well with him these days, and he appreciated him quite a lot, so he took him along with him. Before approaching the village, Jing Chi felt uneasy, saying that he was afraid of being disrespectful, so he dismounted his horse and walked on foot. Dai Yao and the guards had no choice but to follow suit. Before the group reached the end of the village, they heard the sound of a flute and couldn't help but stop and listen. Dai Yao was originally from the Northern Han Dynasty. This song was not only popular in Daizhou, but also in other parts of the Northern Han Dynasty. After listening to it, Dai Yao felt homesick, thinking that Optimus Prime of the Northern Han Dynasty had been trapped by the Yong army. , the country was overthrown in a blink of an eye, and the pain in his heart was unspeakable. If he hadn't been well trained, he would have been exposed long ago.

The sound of the music was whirling back and forth, and everyone was already close. Jing Chi adjusted his clothes and walked directly towards the two people who were sitting and listening to the music. Dai Yao was about to follow, but was grabbed by Jing Chi's bodyguard. , Dai Yao was startled, he only thought that the murderous intention in his heart was revealed, and the guard had already whispered: "Don't approach, no strangers are allowed to approach Mr. Chu Xianghou, don't you see the Tiger Guards are staring at us? Except for General Jing, we are not qualified to approach Mr. Jiang." Dai Yao took a closer look, and sure enough, there were tiger guards guarding the pavilion. Even King Qi's personal guards were standing far away and could not approach the pavilion within a hundred steps. Inside, Dai Yao felt annoyed in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged. He turned his head and asked, "Why is Lord Jiang so arrogant?" The guard smiled and said, "You are blaming the wrong Lord Jiang for this. Mr. Jiang has a very easy-going personality. This is what the emperor meant. I heard the general say that Mr. Jiang was seriously injured in an assassination and almost died. Since then, the guards around Mr. Jiang have been assigned by the emperor." Dai Yao nodded to understand. , but a strange thought came into his mind. If the emperor of Dayong wanted to kill Mr. Jiang, wouldn't it be easy? When he thought of this, he only felt a cold gaze from the pavilion passing over him, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Holding back the fear in his heart, he turned his neck back after a moment. Looking up, he saw a young man in green clothes who looked like ice and snow standing in the shadow of apricot flowers, holding a silver pot in his hand. Although he was doing servant things, he saw There was nothing servile about his demeanor. Evil Shadow Li Shun, this name immediately appeared in Dai Yao's mind.

Dai Yao was thinking, the flute sound stopped, and he saw the young man kneeling and playing the flute, bowing his head and keeping silent. Dai Yao felt strange in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask more, he just paid attention secretly, and saw the gray-haired man in blue in the pavilion. The man stood up slowly, walked down the stone steps, helped the young man up, and sighed: "I understand your intention. You want to go to Daizhou. I won't stop you, but you can't sacrifice lightly. I hope you will When Yong's army pacifies Daizhou, you can come back to see me. Don't worry, I'm not asking you to do anything. I just want you to survive as much as possible and come back to see me." After the young man stood up, he wiped away his tears with his sleeves and said respectfully Retreat. Although Dai Yao was confused, he heard clearly that this young man was going to Daizhou, and he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.

At this time, Jing Chi stepped forward with a strange look on his face and saluted: "I will finally pay my respects to you, sir. I wonder if he is okay."

I secretly chuckled in my heart, looked at Jing Chi who looked uneasy, and said, "Why doesn't General Jing have time to come see me?"

Jing Chi said with a bitter face: "The general will finally realize his crime, please punish him sir."

I said calmly: "What am I punishing you for? You are an important minister of the imperial court and a general in the army. You have traveled thousands of miles to attack, but you have no merit and hard work. Although I have a small title, it is just too early for you to be named a marquis, Jing Chi." What happens one day after another, talking about positions, Jiang has been in poor health these days, and has already submitted a letter to resign from the position of supervisor. Although there is no decree yet, he still has to be in the position of a vegetarian, but I dare not punish you, who has a heavy army. A tough guy."

After Jing Chi heard these heart-breaking words, he was so frightened that Jiang Zhe was really angry. He quickly bowed down and said, "Sir, don't be angry. Jing Chi didn't mean to neglect you. It's just that he led many troops this time." When I arrived, I was afraid that my husband would blame me, so I came a little late. I begged you not to be angry. Your husband is ill. If you hurt your body, you will not be able to sleep and eat well."

Dai Yao looked at it from a distance and was horrified. He could faintly hear the voices of the two of them. He followed Jing Chi on weekdays and saw that he was bold and forthright. During this march, he also saw his bloody suppression. He already regarded Jing Chi as a murderer in his heart. Unexpectedly, he could be so groveling in front of a weak scholar, which shocked Dai Yao. Could it be that this rough guy actually respected his teacher, or that this scholar in green clothes had such strength that people had to fear and respect him. The people of the Demon Sect originally respected the powerful and looked down upon those who were arrogant and powerful. No matter how he looked at it, Dai Yao didn't think that the man in green had any power. Why were the young man and Jing Chi trembling in front of him just now, and why even an unpredictable master like Xieying Li Shun was willing to be his slave? He was confused and confused, and he paid close attention to the development below. Unexpectedly, a tiger guard came over and whispered to them to rest in the village. Dai Yao had no choice but to follow everyone away, but he deliberately slowed down and tried his best to listen. However, it became increasingly difficult to hear clearly, and a broken and vague words came to my ears: "You were not wrong in the massacre of the city, so why do you need to apologize..." The voice was gentle and elegant, but he said such ruthless words, Dai Yao felt very cold in his heart.

"The stars have white hair, growing on the temples. Although they are not blue flies, they taint my appearance." Dressed in military uniform, standing under the old locust tree in the center of the courtyard that was as thick as a hug, Lin Yuanting finished chanting loudly and cheerfully. He smiled and said: "Gentlemen, although I am old, I still have the strength to mount my horse and wield the sword. Although the barbarians are fierce, are we, the men of Daizhou, afraid of them?"

The Daizhou Army generals standing in two rows on the left and right shouted at the same time: "A man from Daizhou is proud to die on the battlefield. How can he be afraid of the barbarians? Please give the general an order to expel the barbarians from Daijun."

Lin Yuanting laughed heartily. His somewhat sallow face showed the same majesty as before. He looked behind him and saw that all the generals of the Daizhou Army were in the court. There were white-haired generals in their fifties and sixties who were covered in scars. , there are also middle-aged warriors in their prime, as well as young generals who are still childish, and his two sons Lin Chengyi and Lin Cheng'er are also among them. It's a pity that these generals are more than brave but not resourceful. This time the barbarians are coming. Xiang Xiang, if these generals only rely on these generals to fight to the death, both sides will suffer losses. A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, but it quickly subsided. As the current commander of the Daizhou Army, he could not reveal the sadness in his heart.

Lin Yuanting said apologetically: "For the order of the king, Bi'er led the main force of our army to Qinzhou, which made the situation in Daizhou so serious. Yuanting is ashamed. Brother Qi, you have already disbanded your armor and returned to the field, and now you have to go into battle again. As a brother, Sorry for you."

An old general with white hair and beard stepped forward and clasped his fists and said: "General, please don't say this. The king of the country has a deep kindness to me, Daizhou. Now that the country is in danger, it is understandable that he has no choice but to call Daizhou's army to go south. This matter is my responsibility." The public meeting between the state and the army has nothing to do with the general and the princess. Quanzi is lucky enough to go south with the princess. My grandson is still young. When the barbarians invade, how can my family not have someone to fight? Although the general is old, he has not given up his martial arts. , General, don’t underestimate the general.”

Lin Yuanting felt warm in his heart and said: "Thank you for your understanding, brother, but you are a veteran general and cannot go into battle easily. If you can command the Chinese army properly, it will be your greatest achievement. This time I will issue a recruitment order. Daizhou is fifteen years old The above men must prepare to fight. They are young and vigorous, and they need you to take charge of the overall situation. As for fighting in battle, it is a matter for young people, so you should not compete with them for credit."

The veteran's face showed hesitation at first, but seeing Lin Yuanting's determined expression, he knew that the most important thing he should do was to pass on his battlefield experience to the young people, so he agreed to step down.

Lin Yuanting smiled slightly and said: "Okay, generals, listen to your orders. All the villagers outside Yanmen have moved back to the pass. We need to strictly guard the pass. This time we don't have enough troops to fight with the enemy's main force outside Yanmen like before. Confrontation, but seclusion is a way to seek death. This time the barbarians encountered a snowstorm, they will definitely attack Daizhou regardless of their lives. If we only focus on defending steadily, the barbarians will infiltrate through the gaps in Daizhou's defense line, so we still have to fight in a decisive battle. But we can only send elite soldiers to deal with them, and let Cheng Yi and Cheng You lead the troops, what do you think?"

All the generals knew that although the Lin brothers were young, they were fierce generals. Although they were not as resourceful as Lin Bi, they were still decent generals and their strength was superior to other young generals, so they had no objections. Lin Yuanting was about to order the troops, when a girl in red walked out of the inner house. She was wearing fiery red armor, a red silk cloak, a bow and arrows and a sword. It was Lin Yuanting's youngest daughter Lin Tong. At this moment, Lin Tong's face was as cold as frost, and she was solemn and majestic, but her eyes were filled with fire-like fighting intent. After returning from the East China Sea, the girl seemed to have grown up suddenly, and her former cuteness and naughtiness disappeared without a trace, replaced by It is as blazing as fire and as dazzling as a phoenix. In a short period of time, her cavalry and archery skills improved to a level only slightly inferior to that of Sister Nai. But this time when the troops were sent out, Lin Yuanting still didn't think about letting her go into battle. After all, five of the Lin family's four sons and two daughters were already galloping on the battlefield. After all, Lin Yuanting had some selfish motives for this youngest daughter.

Lin Tong walked to the court, bowed on one knee and said, "My daughter, please go into battle with your father to kill the enemy, drive out the barbarians, and defend my homeland."

Lin Yuanting said angrily: "How can you, a little girl, make such arrogant remarks? Going into battle to kill the enemy is your own responsibility. You should protect your mother in the house."

Lin Tong said solemnly: "Father's words are wrong. Although my daughter is young, she is already seventeen years old, and her sister also went to the battlefield at the age of fifteen. My daughter knows that she is young and has little knowledge, and she does not dare to expect to lead the army in battle. As long as she can I am satisfied to follow my father and brother to kill the enemy and serve the country. Moreover, for the survival of the country, my sister went to Qinzhou to fight against Dayong, so let Tong'er go into battle on my sister's behalf and drive the barbarians out of Daizhou."

The expression on Lin Yuanting's face was both happy and sad, and the expressions on his face were ever-changing. He knew his daughter's temperament very well. Even if he didn't let her go with him, he was afraid that she would secretly join the militia and fight. Moreover, seeing his daughter like this Strong, he was also very happy in his heart. Finally, Lin Yuanting sighed and said: "This time I go into battle, you will temporarily serve as my father's personal guard."

Lin Tong kowtowed again, stood up, and walked behind her father. Her eyes seemed to penetrate the cloud mountains and reach the bank of the Qinshui River. If I died on the battlefield, I might not see you and my family. Let's meet in life and death. At this moment, a handsome, handsome, free and amiable young figure appeared in her mind. Deep sorrow surged from the bottom of her heart, and a drop of tear rolled down the dust.
