Chapter 267: Invite Ying to fight in Yuanyuan Pass
Lin Hao followed Lin Yu's hand, nodded appreciatively, and said, "Zhenyuan Pass is a good place to defeat the enemy!"
Lin Yu cleared his throat slightly and said: "Father, look, this Xianyuan Pass is located on Xianyuan Mountain, thirty kilometers southeast of Yanshi City. It has Elingkou to the west and ancient roads to the north. The terrain is steep, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
, is the southeastern gateway of Luoyang City, and is also the only way for the rebels who want to capture Luoyang. As long as we hold on to this Shenyuan Pass, we will be able to hold Luoyang City."
Lin Hao nodded slightly and said: "Yes, the situation in Sheyuan Mountain is dangerous. There is the Taishi in the east and the Shaoshi in the south. It is next to Gongyi and Dengfeng. In the west, there are Jiming Mountain and Xianglu Peak.
The gully at the junction of Anshan and Songshan. It is recorded in "Yuanhe Zhi": "Mountain Mount Fuyuan, the mountain road is dangerous and difficult, and there are twelve twists and turns.
It has recently returned, so it is called: Fuyuan. It is also said that the mouth of the Fuyuan was dug by Dayu in ancient times. It is also an important place that military strategists of all ages must fight for and control. It is the only way from Ye City to Luoyang City.
But Xiaoyu, the entire Luoyang garrison is less than 60,000, and including the local troops nearby, the number is only 100,000. What are you going to do?"
Lin Yu thought for a moment and said: "Father, I am willing to send you to fight and guard Sheyuan Pass. We will never let the rebel cavalry cross the pass!"
Lin Hao paused for a moment and said, "Xiaoyu, how many troops do you need?"
Lin Yu did not answer directly, but stretched out three fingers.
Lin Hao was startled and said, "Thirty thousand?"
Lin Yu smiled and shook his head.
Lin Hao looked surprised and said: "It can't be three thousand, that's not possible. There are only more than ten thousand defenders at Sheyuan Pass. Adding these three thousand to the number will only be more than fifteen thousand at most. Even with the geographical advantage,
It can’t stop the rebels’ 200,000-strong army.”
Lin Yu smiled slightly and said, "It's not three thousand!"
Lin Hao looked stunned and asked hurriedly, "How much is that?"
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Three hundred is enough!"
"What, only three hundred people?" Lin Hao asked in surprise.
Lin Yu smiled and nodded, saying: "Well, three hundred people are enough!"
"Xiaoyu, I know that you have been smarter than ordinary people since you were a child, but fighting is no child's play." Lin Hao advised earnestly.
Lin Yu smiled softly and said: "Father, you have grown up so much. When have you ever done something you were not sure about? Just trust me again!"
Lin Hao saw the slight smile on Lin Yu's lips. He could tell that it was a confident smile, but he couldn't see clearly what his son, who had just passed his twenties, was thinking in his heart.
of.
Seeing that his father still had doubts, Lin Yuyou stepped forward and persuaded with a smile: "Father, Liu Baichuan has been the prefect of Luoyang City for nearly ten years. Although he has fallen now, the centipede is dead but not stiff. The whole
Although Luoyang City appears to be already
The weather has calmed down, but there are still turbulent waves in the interior. There are not many defenders in Luoyang City, but there are many things to do. We must not draw troops from here anymore, otherwise, once there is a change in the city, the consequences will be really unimaginable."
How could Lin Hao not understand what Lin Yu said? How could his son fight against Zhang Qiaobalu's 200,000 tigers and wolves with more than 10,000 remaining soldiers?
Seeing that his father was silent, Lin Yu smiled slightly and said: "Father, I still have one million taels of silver notes here. Now the Yellow River is overflowing and the people are displaced. As long as the recruiting flag is put up, there will naturally be people to pay. Why worry?
Can’t recruit troops?”
Lin Hao was shocked when he heard this and asked hurriedly: "Xiaoyu, where did you get so much money?"
Lin Yu smiled pretending to be mysterious and said: "Snatched it."
Lin Hao was shocked when he heard this and asked in astonishment: "What, robbed?"
Lin Yu nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, I stole it from the robbers."
Lin Hao stopped asking any more questions. Although Lin Yu had not lived with him for a long time, how could he, a father, not know his son's thoughts? Xiaoyu must have hidden something from him, but since he
I don’t want to say it, but I must be suffering from my own pain.
Since he was sincere, there was no need for him to ask any more, and even if the one million taels of silver notes came from the wrong way, he would acquiesce. This was not only because Lin Yu was his son, but also because the imperial court needed this money, and the Ming Dynasty needed it.
This money, the thousands of disaster victims need this money...
Lin Hao paused for a moment and said: "Xiaoyu, please take away all my imperial guards. Although there are not many of them, they are very powerful in combat. They can all be one against ten. For those who are like those in Shenyuan Pass, one man is against the guard."
It will play an unexpected role in a geographical location that is inaccessible."
Before Lin Hao could finish his words, Lin Yu hurriedly said, "Father, this is your imperial guard. How can this be allowed?"
"What's wrong? Do we, father and son, still need to be so clear-cut?" Lin Hao said with a deliberately straight face.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yu said: "Let's do this, the Imperial Guards will be divided between the two of us, father and son, so that we can all be taken care of."
Lin Hao knew his son's temper. Seeing that he had already given in, he didn't say anything more. Then he stopped for a moment and said, "Well, as you said, now that the rebels are approaching, you should hurry up."
Take the people to Shenyuan Pass, remember, be careful!"
Lin Yu nodded vigorously and said: "Well, father, I understand, you should take more care of yourself!"
After saying that, Lin Yu stuffed the one million taels of silver notes into Lin Hao's hand and said: "Sheyuan Pass is in a steep terrain, in the mountains, and sparsely populated. I can't use the money, so I'll hand it all over."
Give it to you, father."
Lin Hao did not shirk this time, because he knew that now was definitely not the time to shirk, and leaving the money in Luoyang City was far more useful than taking it to Shenyuan Pass.
Lin Hao took the thick stack of banknotes and said: "Well, Xiaoyu, you can go without worry. All security in the rear is left to my father. If reinforcements are needed at any time, please send someone to notify me. I will definitely
I will bring someone to arrive as soon as possible."
For Lin Yu's safety, Lin Hao specially assigned the most elite units of the imperial guards, the Shenji Battalion and the armored cavalry to Lin Yu, and secretly arranged for two generals, Lai Yong and Gu Hui, to lead fifteen thousand men each.
The troops are stationed on both sides of Shenyuan Pass, forming a triangle with it, and are ready to reinforce it at any time.
After leaving the imperial envoy's residence, Lin Yu simply gave Lin Yong a few instructions to prepare, and then he turned directly and walked towards the chief helmsman of the Beggar Clan.
Although more than half a month has passed, the Beggar Clan's chief helmsman has still not regained his former vitality. It is lifeless, and even the air is filled with a desolate atmosphere, making people feel like they can't help but shiver.
Because the war had begun, not many people came to express their condolences. Except for a few close friends of Gang Leader Hong during his lifetime, all the other sects only sent an elder to come. Some even feared that a fire at the city gate would harm Chi Yu, so they simply did not
When they came, some didn't come, but they finally said hello, and some simply didn't say anything and acted like they didn't know anything.
Since the rebels were about to invade the territory, Lin Yu did not stay much longer. He just laid a stick of incense at Gang Leader Hong's mourning hall, briefly said a few words to Hong Baijiu, and then went to find Ah Feng.
When he walked to A Feng's door, Lin Yu heard a burst of whispers. Since the two had sex, their relationship has been developing rapidly.
At this moment, a vague sadness suddenly appeared in Lin Yu's heart. At this moment, the people he envied most were A Feng and Yan Hong. Isn't this what he said he only envied mandarin ducks but not immortals?
?
I don’t know how Qing’er is doing now. She is so naughty and willful, and loves to cry so much. What should she do if she gets into trouble? I don’t know if the Peach Blossom Virgin will treat her if she knows that she is the second young lady of Aolin Villa.
Any disadvantage?
All the worries immediately came to Lin Yu's mind, weighing him down so much that he could hardly breathe and felt like he was suffocating.
Lin Yu gently patted his head with his hand, intending to wake himself up and stop thinking about these things, but when his eyes fell to the northeast, his heart that just wanted to calm down began to be turbulent again.
stand up.
The scene at Ten Thousand Medicine Hall immediately came to mind. Feijianmen, Zhou Xing, and the woman who only appeared in dreams before, Liu Zimeng, I don’t know what is happening to them now.
Is it good?
"Brother Lin, why are you here?" A voice interrupted Lin Yu's meditation.
Lin Yu hurriedly came to his senses and saw that it was Yan Yun. He forced out a smile and said, "It's nothing. I'm going to Zongyuan Pass. I came here to say goodbye to you. I just heard your sister and A Feng say something inside.
Just whisper, I don't have the nerve to bother you."
Yan Yun smiled like a child and said: "Brother Lin, you don't know something. Since that incident, my sister and Master A Feng have been stuck together every day, and it almost made me sour."
"Yan Yun, it's not good to speak ill of master behind your back. According to the rules of this sect, you will be severely punished." You didn't need to look back, you could tell by the voice that it was Ah Feng.
Yan Yun curled his lips and said: "Master, how could I? You must have heard wrong. How could I say bad things about you behind your back? Are you brother-in-law?"
When Yan Hong next to her heard these words, two blushes immediately climbed onto her pink cheeks. She lowered her head slightly and said angrily in a low voice, "Xiaoyun, what are you talking about!"
At this time, Yan Yun hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Brother Lin, what did you just say? Where are you going to Zhenyuan Pass? Is there going to be a war? All I hear in Luoyang City these days is that the rebels are attacking the border."
Lin Yu nodded slightly and said: "Well, now the rebel vanguard Zhang Qiaobalu has led the vanguard force of 200,000 troops to Shenyuan Pass. I must rush there, otherwise once Shenyuan Pass is betrayed
If the army breaks through, the entire southeastern gateway of Luoyang City will no longer be defendable, and the consequences will be disastrous."
"Brother Lin, let me go with you!" Before Lin Yu could finish his words, Ah Feng took over and said.
As soon as Ah Feng's words left his mouth, Yan Hong hurriedly said: "Brother Lin, I want to go too!"
Lin Yu smiled and shrugged, and said: "Now that the Beggar Clan's chief rudder has been destroyed, Luoyang City is not at peace either. Ah Feng, Yan Hong, you two will stay here so that we can take care of you."
Ah Feng and Yan Hong wanted to say something more, but they looked at each other and stopped saying anything more. They just nodded slightly and said: "Well, Brother Lin, you have to be more careful in everything!
"
"Brother Lin, please take me with you and try the sword technique that Master A Feng gave me. How powerful is it?" Yan Yun asked with interest on his face.
Lin Yu then noticed that Yan Yun also carried a black broken knife on his back that was the same as Ah Feng's. However, it just looked similar. Its material and refinement were the same as Ah Feng's black broken knife.
There's no comparison.
"Xiaoyun, please stop causing trouble. Brother Lin is going to fight, not to play. You should stay in Luoyang City honestly!" Yan Hong scolded, pretending to be angry.
Lin Yu paused for a moment, then smiled slightly and said, "It's not necessarily a bad thing to take Yan Yun to practice."
"But..." Yan Hong wanted to say something, but the words seemed to be stuck in her throat and she couldn't say anything.
Lin Yu smiled slightly and said: "Yan Hong, I know what you are worried about, so don't worry, I will ensure Yan Yun's safety and send him back safely."
Seeing that Lin Yu had said this, Yan Hong had no choice but to nod his head, then walked to Yan Yun's side and said: "Xiaoyun, when you arrive at Shenyuan Pass, you must listen to Brother Lin in everything, do you hear that?"
Yan Yun was as excited as a child. He responded hurriedly and went to pull Lin Yu. He smiled and said: "Brother Lin, didn't you say that the war ahead is urgent? Let's leave quickly and go to Shenyuan Pass now...
