At this time, right next to the pond, a stooped old man wearing coarse linen clothes was sitting on a stone bench, fishing leisurely.

Looking at the old man with a lively and enthusiastic expression, Lin Yi stopped, a look of humiliation flashing in his eyes.

This old man is his father, the chief minister of Zhou Dynasty before Shangguan Hongyuan, and the head of the Lin family - Lin Zhongsen!

His father, Lin Zhongsen, rose to the rank of Chief Assistant throughout his life, commanded hundreds of officials, and was a very human minister. He had no other hobbies in his life, except fishing to relax in his spare time. When he was young, he traveled all over the great rivers and mountains of the Zhou Dynasty for fishing.

But I never expected that now that I am already sixty years old and idle at home, for the sake of the overall situation and not to worry about that person, I cannot go out and show my face, and I can only enjoy myself in this small pond at home...

·

It was truly a shame and great humiliation for the Son of Man for his father to compromise like this. Thinking of this, Lin Yi's hands could not help but clenched tightly into fists, and the pale joints were clearly visible.

Although Lin Yi stopped and stood far away, unwilling to disturb his father's rare good mood, Lin Shize seemed to have sensed his arrival, and without looking back, he said lightly: "Yier is back? But it was in vain.

return?"

"Father, do you already know?" Seeing that his father discovered him, Lin Yi had no choice but to walk over and said with some surprise:

"Since he can let the news about this matter spread from the Ministry of War, he must be fully prepared!" Lin Shize said lightly:

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment by his father's words, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and said a little lonely: "So, father, you asked me to contact Zhao Yuanan and Yang Chunchen, just because you want to perform a singing show for Song Wenhui!"

"This is just one aspect. On the other hand, I want to use this matter to test him and Zhao Yuanan. Now it seems that Zhao Yuanan and him have indeed reached some kind of compromise..." Lin Shize

He said with a calm expression. As he spoke, he gently raised the fishing rod in his hand and pulled the small fish out of the water.

However, what was surprising was that Lin Shize did not put the small fish into the fish basket next to him, but instead threw the lively and dishonest little fish back into the pond.

"Father, do you mean...Xu Zhaojie?" Lin Yi seemed to have some understanding and whispered:

Seeing his only son and realizing the crux of the matter, Lin Shize's old face showed a look of relief. He continued: "This time in the palace, Xu Zhaojie violated his orders in such a way, do you think?

With his character, can Xu Zhaojie be spared?"

"Although this matter is not on the table, the Forbidden Army is generally still under his control. As long as he wants to, it is not difficult to take Xu Zhaojie's position as commander of the Xuanwu Army."

"So in order to keep Xu Zhaojie, Zhao Yuanan reached an exchange of interests with Shangguan Hongyuan on the matter of Zhenwu Army? No wonder Zhao Yuanan is so abnormal today!" Lin Yi, who wanted to understand everything, sighed in a deep voice:

"Xu Zhaojie is not only Zhao Yuanan's brother-in-law, but also the only one among the nobles who holds military power. Zhao Yuanan should make every effort to protect his position as the commander of the Xuanwu Army and protect Xu Zhaojie.

Protecting the last trace of their noble dignity!

"So today he just sang a good show with Shangguan Hongyuan in front of you!" Lin Shize explained with a smile:

Lin Yi nodded and asked: "Today's events can be regarded as an explanation for Song Wenhui. Father, since the establishment of the Zhenwu Army is a foregone conclusion, what should we do next?"

"What do you think he will do next?" Lin Shize asked:

Regarding this question, Lin Yi stood there and thought about it for a cup of tea before slowly saying: "He deliberately wanted to arrange the Zhenwu Army in Liaoyang, and arranged so many trusted military attachés. Only a fool would do it.

You will believe that he went to fight the Luobi people, and he probably wanted to break the situation from Liaoyang... But..."

At the end, Lin Yi seemed hesitant to speak, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.

"But this intention is too obvious, and the probability of success is very low. It doesn't fit in with his usual style of doing things, right?" Lin Shize took over what his son said and continued:

Lin Yi was not surprised that his father revealed his inner thoughts. He nodded and said, "That's it. Although Song Wenhui's actual military strength is not as many as the 100,000 claimed by the outside world, it definitely has 60,000."

!”

"And the most important thing is that he also has a cavalry of 10,000 people. In terms of strength, among the vassal towns such as the Zhou Dynasty, Song Wenhui's strength is second only to the King of Qin who controls Yongliang, and is much higher than the others. Zhen Wenhui is

Even if the military army is successfully established and has a strength of 30,000, I don’t think it can do anything to Song Wenhui!"

After hearing his son's analysis, Lin Shize, who was holding the fishing rod, lowered his eyes as if he had fallen asleep. Just when Lin Yi was hesitant to wake him up, Lin Shize suddenly said:

"I cooperated with him to defeat Li Song, and helped Li Rui, a little wolf, to the throne. Then we went back and forth and fought openly and secretly for so many years. I know his methods very well..."

"He thought that since he was ten years younger than me, he could successfully outlast me, so for all these years, he had been holding back, silently promoting disciples from poor families, building up strength, and waiting for the day when this bad old man like me died, but it's a pity that

Let him down..."

"It's true that he wants to break the situation from Liaoyang. As long as he controls Liaoyang, Zhao Fuqu of Youyan will be attacked from both sides and cannot survive for a month. By then, except for the Yongliang border, the entire north will be in his hands.

, he will really be able to pacify the world, establish unparalleled achievements, and proclaim himself emperor!"

"Only 30,000 people are deployed in Liaoyang. He is so confident that either someone under Song Wenhui has defected to him, or Song Wenhui has simply defected to him!"

Lin Shize, who was a little excited, said so many words in one breath. After he finished speaking, he was out of breath. His already stooped body became even more stooped. Upon seeing this, Lin Yi immediately stepped forward and stroked his father's back.

, helping Lin Shize breathe while scolding the servants and maids who were waiting at the side.
