In the past few days, the various behaviors exhibited by the elders in the family have made Ji Xiahe feel disappointed and uncomfortable.
After a long silence, Ji Xiahe said: "I'm going to persuade you and try my best to give it a try."
As soon as Ji Xiahe left, Du Xuan stepped forward and said to Shen Lie in a very low voice: "Xiong Kai just sent people to test his words. From what they meant, it seems they don't want to stay here to spend time with the Ji family anymore." .”
Xiong Kai was actually the second eldest brother among the Xiong brothers. He was able to send someone here to test his tone, which surprised Shen Lie: "What did you say?"
"I pretended to be stupid and prevaricated," Du Xuan said, "It seems that they can't stand the living treasures of the Ji family."
"We will test it again next time and make our attitude clear to them. We will not leave until the Ji family is taken out of Songzhou." Shen Lie said.
"Yes," Du Xuan nodded, paused, and then said, "The female relatives of the Ji family seem to be very dissatisfied with you and Vice General Lin. Dai Yu and I have heard a lot of rhetoric in the past few days..."
"Is it worth caring about?" Shen Lie asked back.
"But……"
Shen Lie raised his hand and patted Du Xuan's shoulder and walked towards Dai Yu.
The brigade continued to set off in the afternoon. As expected, Ji Xiahe failed to convince the elders at home. When they heard about the long-distance attack and the attack on the pass, especially with Songzhou ahead, they all felt that Ji Xiahe and Shen Lie were messing around.
In recent years, Song Zhiyi has been bent on expanding his territory and unifying Mouye and Fengyuan. Songzhou is a place where heavy troops are deployed. Song Zhiyi's strongest offensive troops are in Songzhou.
A direct attack on Songzhou's tightly guarded pass would undoubtedly be an attack on stone. Ji Wenhuai and Ji Mingyou would not agree even to the death. Even if Ji Xiahe stressed that there would be a large number of pursuers behind him, Ji Mingyou would not dare to take the risk.
From Ji Mingyou's point of view, the heavy troops in front are visible, but the pursuers behind them are not necessarily able to catch up with them. After all, the mountain roads they have been walking on in the past few days are uninhabited and extremely remote. Maybe the pursuers have already pursued them in another direction. Already.
Ji Xiahe was extremely angry at the luck that his family was holding on to, but he was only a concubine, and he could easily be annoying if he talked too much. He shouted angrily: "Then don't ask us what we think anymore!"
More than half an hour later, heavy rain fell from the sky, and the vision in the distance was seriously blurred. Ji Mingyou continued to send out scouts. Ji Xiahe immediately followed Shen Lie and left, not wanting to stay here for a moment.
They left the main force and headed south for about half a mile when they were chased by fast horses in the heavy rain. Shen Lie, Ji Xia and their horses turned back. The people chasing them were the soldiers around Lieutenant General Lin.
"Mr. Shen, our Vice-General Lin is looking for you!" the soldier said.
Rain fell along the brim of his hat. Shen Lie raised his eyes and looked behind the soldiers. Vice General Lin and his men were riding on horses. There were not many people behind him, only three or four.
Shen Lie asked: "What do you want from me?"
"It's about this trip," the soldier said.
Shen Lie thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay."
He was about to step forward to fight, and Ji Xiahe followed him, but was stopped by the soldiers: "Master Ji, stop!"
Ji Xiahe frowned: "What are you doing!"
"Wait for me here first," Shen Lie looked at Ji Xiahe, "I'll be back soon."
Ji Xiahe felt uneasy: "If you encounter anything, just call me."
After saying that, I felt that I was not confident enough. Shen Lie was very skilled. If Shen Lie couldn't handle it, then he would only lose one more life.
"It's okay." Shen Lie said, turned around and left with his soldiers.
Lieutenant General Lin was riding on his horse, looking at the young son who was following the soldiers in the heavy rain. His expression became solemn. When the person approached, he clamped his legs on the horse's belly, pulled the reins, and stepped forward with the horse's hooves. .
"Mr. Shen!" Vice General Lin called out on his own initiative.
"What does the deputy general want from me?"
Vice General Lin raised his hands and clasped his fists: "I have offended you many times before, Mr. Shen, please don't blame me."
"Those are just trivial matters," Shen Lie said, "The deputy general's guards just said that they were looking for me because they were traveling. If the deputy general wants to say anything, just say it."
Lieutenant General Lin glanced at Ji Xiahe in the distance, hesitantly, and said: "Back in Kuozhou, Mr. Ji Er saved my life. I have been with the Ji family for decades, and I called Ji Ming's friend Ji Zhongchuan my brother. I regard the Ji family as my own family, but if I had expected that the Ji family would be so indecisive, I would not have helped them at the expense of the whole family. The two Xiong brothers and I have been friends in life and death for many years, and I will regard them as my own. They were dragged into the water together, and I felt regret and hatred in my heart."
"Vice General Lin wants to leave with his troops?" Shen Lie said.
"No, no, no," Lieutenant General Lin said hurriedly, "That's not what Lin meant. I can't just leave the Ji family alone. It's just that the current situation... Let's put it this way, Mr. Shen, I agree with you. Together, if we want to leave as quickly as possible, we can only use this long-distance attack method!"
"These soldiers and horses are all yours. If you want to do this, no matter how hard the Ji family members oppose it, they can only follow you." Shen Lie said.
"Having said that, if you have a family and a family, it will be difficult to handle once a war happens," Vice General Lin said, "Mr. Shen, what do you think..."
Lieutenant General Lin paused and did not continue.
"What do you think?"
Vice General Lin wanted to say, what do you think about killing the useless female relatives and servants of the Ji family?
Those burdens are really troublesome. Not only are they tiring, they are also full of complaints and accusations. They feel tired after sitting in the car for a long time. At the same time, they pretend to understand the righteousness and sacrifice themselves for others, claiming that they are fine and can continue. On the road, the plaintive tone is the same as how great they are and who owes them.
Vice General Lin usually couldn't bear women the most. None of the women in his family had ever been punched by him. Only the pampered women of the Ji family were spoiled by the useless men of the Ji family.
"Mr. Shen," Vice General Lin changed the topic, "Lin dared to ask out of curiosity, was it really you who was trapped and guarded at Xiaonan Mountain when you visited Hu County in Jiangzhou last year? How did you get out in the end, and how many people rescued you? "
Shen Lie frowned slightly.
Lieutenant General Lin continued: "To be honest, before the major deployment last year, I was a captain in the Han Shen camp. At that time, I was in King Xunping's army."
The major changes that Vice General Lin mentioned were the military reforms that Song Zhiyi made at the end of last year for the Battle of Mouye, including changes in the management system and military structure model.
Shen Lie remained silent. He didn't want to recall the many scenes at that time, and he didn't feel like he had anything to share with others.
At this time, the rain became heavier, the sky became dark, and the rain brought by the long wind hit me heavily.
Shen Lie looked up at the sky and said, "It's better to go back first."
"We can't go back yet," Lieutenant General Lin said hurriedly, "We haven't decided yet, or this way, I will lead a long-distance attack first to disrupt the enemy in front of the formation, and you will lead people from the rear around the mountain road, and our troops will be divided into two groups! "
"I don't make the decision," Shen Lie said, "If you discuss this with me, why not discuss it with the Ji family."
