Chapter 43 Entering the city to carry the coffin

Lin Fu looked at Lu Jingyan's body that was carried into the city. His cheeks were thin and sunken, and his stubble like steel needles had softened with the loss of life. His green eye sockets were sunken deeply, as if he was sleeping peacefully.

It just doesn't have any life left.

Lin Fu carefully straightened Lu Jingyan's tattered armor, then turned back and walked to the generals, pulled out the sword from his waist, bent it in half with his knees, and said: "I, Lin Fu, will break my sword here."

I swore an oath that I will kill him if he encounters a rebel! I will never be sworn in with him as long as I live!" Every word he cut the metal and iron, threw the broken knife into the ground, and roared: "Liu Duwei defended the land and killed the enemy, and sacrificed his life for the country. Jiangdong

All the generals of the left army are here. Listen to my military orders and salute Captain Lu and the generals of Shaowu's friendly army who are fighting bravely!"

Zhang Jinxian, the magistrate of Yangxin County, opened his eyes and looked at the tragic scene. His eyes were blurred by tears. At this moment, he no longer worried about whether Yangxin would fall. Lin Fu was known as Jiyang Jianbi, and it was he who had a strong will like iron bones.

His unyielding temper and the ability to make all the generals in the army follow him and forget about life and death at critical moments, and his strange charm of fighting bravely, are qualities that can never be seen in mediocre officials and generals.

Zhang Jinxian ordered people to carry down the nanmu coffin from the tower of the city gate, and put it under Shao Wu's guard. General Lu Jingyan, the captain of the light chariot, carried the body. He originally imitated the ancients who carried the coffin to the battlefield and carried it to commemorate his death wish.

At the city gate tower, Lin Fu led the Jiangdong Left Army to help Yangxin. Zhang Jinxian returned to the county office to preside over the order in the city. The nanmu coffin was not carried down from the city gate tower. At this time, he had the honor to bury such a brave general.

Lu Jingyan's body was put into a coffin. Zhang Jinxian and Cheng Weiyuan found two large houses in the city that were connected to Shaowu's remnant army as a camp for rest and recuperation. Lu Jingyan's body was also placed in the coffin until the court disposed of it after the war.

The guards in front of Lu Jingyan were about to carry the coffin. Lin Fu grabbed one of them, held up the bottom corner of the coffin with one hand, moved it to his own shoulders, and personally carried the coffin for Lu Jingyan.

Geng Quanshan, Chen Dingbang and other generals of Shaowu's remnant army also took the bottom corner of the coffin and carried it to the captain. Lu Jingyan's left arm was cut off, and Chu Zheng, the commander of the guard battalion who was hit by several arrows, also struggled with his disabled body to get out of the simple way.

He stood up on the stretcher, had someone help him and moved the bottom corner of the coffin onto his shoulders, and walked to the temporary camp...

Zhou Tong, Ao Canghai, the Jiangdong Left Army, and the generals of the Jinzhong Army stood on and off the city wall, watching Lin Fu personally carry the coffin and take Lu Jingyan's body to the temporary camp of Shaowu's remnant army. They were silent, thinking: If I could

To have the honor of personally carrying the coffin is worth dying in battle at the head of Yangxin City.

Prince Lu's younger brother, General Yuan Jianhai, Prince Lu's Chamberlain Zuo Tanggui, Deputy Steward Chamberlain Ye Youren and others stood aside in embarrassment. At this time, no one came to pay attention to them. Normally, they would have lost their temper.

, just suppressed by the tragic atmosphere in the city, and knowing that this is not a place where they can run wild.

The remnants of Shaowu's army fled into Yangxin City in a hurry, but at this moment, the defeated soldiers of the thousands of remnants seemed to show a sense of iron will. They opened the city gate and let them out. They had no doubt that they could kill the prisoners in the outer city.

I pee like shit and cry for my father and my mother.

Yuan Yan was sitting on the back of a little stallion, as if her heart and soul were taken away by the sadness and majesty in front of her. She was in a hurry and panic all the way. The moment she entered the city, all the panic and panic receded like a sea wave.

Is this just because we entered the city? No, at this moment, almost everyone's eyes were focused on the bearded uncle who was carrying the coffin at the front of the team, up and down the city wall, and on both sides of the long street, as if he was the owner of this city.

The source of confidence, it seems that as long as he is around, Yangxin is an indestructible iron city. His firm back wearing blue cold armor is surprisingly reassuring to see.

As if imprinted on the soul, the scene at this moment and the inexplicably sad and majestic atmosphere were engraved in Yuan Yan's young heart.

Lin Fu carried the coffin to the temporary camp of Shaowu's remnant army and asked Cheng Weiyuan, the captain of Yangxin County, to carefully settle the remaining Shaowu army. Gengquan Mountain and Chen Dingbang's generals rested for two days, as the captives could not complete preparations for the siege within two days.

Lin Fu and Zhang Jinxian, the magistrate of Duangxin County, had to settle the refugees from Prince Lu's Mansion. Although he did not want to deal with these clan children at all, he was a minister of the Dai Viet Dynasty at this time. If he did not carefully settle the clan children, he would be left behind after the war.

At present, we must suppress other conflicts and concentrate all our efforts on defending the city.

If people from Prince Lu's Mansion dare to interfere with the defense of the city, Lin Fu is not a soft-hearted person.

When the inner city was attacked, King Yuan Jiancheng of Lu and the officials of the royal palace, including Chang Shi, were killed before they could escape in time. The people who fled the palace of Lu were led by the younger brother of King Lu, Yuan Jianhai, the general of Zhenguo, including Zuotanggui and Ye Youren.

After the eunuchs and many palace guards, about seventy or eighty people escaped, Zhang Jinxian, the magistrate of Yangxin County, arranged a large house at the east end of the city for the people of Prince Lu's palace to temporarily stay.

Lin Fu and Zhang Jinxian caught up with Prince Lu's team on the long street. They walked to the front, clasped their fists and said to Yuan Jianhai who was sitting on horseback: "General Zhenguo, don't come to Wuxian!"

Although the descendants of the clan enjoy all the wealth and honor in the world, they have no power to control local officials. Even if the descendants of the clan are arrogant and condescending towards local officials, their attitude is very limited. Maybe there were old grudges in the past, but at this time they are under the control of others. Yuan Jian

Hai asked the guards to help him get off the horse, and bowed to Lin Fu: "Master Lin fought in the north and south, and made great military exploits for the imperial court. At a certain meeting, I will report to the clan mansion and the imperial court to ask for merit from Mr. Lin..."

The devil wanted to perform meritorious service for the Yuan clan, Lin Fu cursed in his heart. He had no concept of loyalty to the imperial court at all. If it weren't for the sake of protecting this great country and the people of Li from being invaded by foreigners, he would be too lazy to take such a dangerous risk. Although he thought so in his heart

, still keeping a smile on his face, he saw a young boy of about eleven or twelve years old behind Yuan Jianhai trying to dismount, but no guards came forward to help him, so he walked over, reached under his armpits, and lifted him off the horse.

He came and asked, "Who is this?" When he saw that the young man's pink face was flushed and the body bones of his tentacles were exceptionally soft, he realized that it was a girl. He quickly stopped his hand and apologized: "Lin Fu was rude...

"

"Yan'er is the daughter of my brother Wang. I have pity on my brother Wang. All his nephews were killed by the bandits, leaving her an orphan..." Thinking of this, Yuan Jianhai felt sad in his heart, and did not care about Lin Fu's rudeness.

After all, Yuan Yan is still a little girl, how can she care about so many false gifts when the war is in chaos?

"It turned out to be the little princess. She was frightened along the way." Lin Fu saluted Yuan Yan, who was disguised as a man.

Yuan Yan was like a frightened deer, hiding behind the guards, but she couldn't help but look back at Lin Fu. Looking at his dark and bright eyes, she thought it was really beautiful. She suppressed the shyness in her heart and imitated the tone of an adult, saying softly

: "Master Lin, there is no need to be too polite..."

Lin Fu smiled and said to Yuan Jianhai: "Yangxin City has been besieged for more than two months. There is a shortage of supplies in the city. Everyone is provided with food rations. I need the general to take care of these things..."

"This is what it should be." Yuan Jianhai said, what else could he do besides saying this? Zhang Jinxian, the magistrate of Yangxin County, stood aside without saying a word. It seemed that the military and political power of Yangxin City at this time was under Lin Fu's control. , the signs of Prince Lu’s Mansion and General Zhenguo may not be easy to use.

"General Zhenguo, please take a rest first. After nightfall, I will convene everyone at the county government office to discuss the matter of defending the city. I will also invite General Zhenguo and Prince Lu's Mansion to send people to attend. Now everyone must fight against the enemy and repel the enemy..." Lin Fu said.

After Lin Fu said these words, he left. There were many things to do to defend the city. At this time, if he was more prepared, one less person would die when defending the city. He did not want to waste time on false courtesy.

Zhang Jinxian accompanied everyone from Prince Lu's residence into the house to settle down. Zuo Tanggui glanced at the back of Lin Fu who was leaving surrounded by guards and said nothing.

As soon as Lin Fu entered Jinan, he exterminated Zuoguan'er village of his Zuo family as a bandit den. Under the pressure of Prince Lu's Mansion, the county officials in Jinan City did not give Zuoguan justice. Lin Fu was an arrogant and domineering character. Undoubtedly, at this time, Liang Li boasted of military exploits and was the new favorite of the Chu Party. His arrogance was reaching the sky. Zuo Tanggui dared to slander him behind his back, but he did not dare to contradict him in person.

Watching Lin Fu leave, Zuo Tanggui approached Zhang Jinxian, the magistrate of Yangxin County, and asked: "Is it possible that everything in Yangxin City has been taken over by Jiang Zuo's army? Has Mr. Zhang heard about the fall of Jinan? At the critical moment for the guest soldiers I'm afraid it's unreliable..."

Zhang Jinxian glanced at Zuo Tanggui and thought to himself: What do you mean by saying this now? At this time, Yuan Jianhai in front also turned to look at him.

Zhang Jinxian said: "Lin Dujian led the Jiangdong Zuo Army to help Yangxin. We are all laymen in the matter of city defense. We can only rely on Lin Dujian and the Jiangdong Zuo Army..." After all, he is a local official in Shandong, so he has to give People in Prince Lu's Mansion were concerned about their dignity. When Prince Lu was killed, it was probably the general who succeeded Prince Lu. As a small county magistrate, he didn't dare to be too tough. If he was given the label of offending the clan, it would be enough for him.

"Prisoner Lin just said that everyone in the city is provided with food rations. Could it be that General Zhenguo and Princess Yan are also among them?" Ye Youren, the chamberlain, interjected at this time, "General Zhenguo" I came all the way with Princess Yan, and after a lot of hard work, I was in a state of panic. Could it be that I wanted to see the face of Jiangdong Zuojun even if I was full of words?"

"Ye Dianguan, I'm fine." Yuan Yan interjected innocently.

Only then did Zhang Jinxian understand that these people in Prince Lu's Palace did not have the guts to confront Lin Fu face to face, but they treated him like a weakling with every word and comment. He hated these two eunuchs in his heart, but had to put on a smile. , said: "As you know from humble positions, when the general of Zhenguo and the little princess come to Yangxin, they can't be wronged anymore..." There is no shortage of manpower in the city. Among the people who escaped from Prince Lu's mansion, except for Prince Lu's young daughter, there is no one The other female family members were thinking of choosing a few well-behaved, smart, and decent-looking girls to serve the little princess. The general would have no problem.
