On this day, Lin Yi received news that Shangguan Minghong had arrived in Jinzhou secretly. Lin Yi went to the appointed place "Qingxiang Building" alone.
Shangguan Minghong's family general Tian Ying led Lin Yi to a secluded room on the second floor. Shangguan Minghong was already waiting for Lin Yi in the room. After Tian Ying exited, Shangguan Minghong enthusiastically asked Lin Yi to sit down.
Shangguan Minghong was returning to Bian Town from Fengxiang. When he received the urgent report, he changed his route halfway and traveled day and night.
As a general, Shangguan Minghong hurriedly came to Jinzhou to see Lin Yi, which showed that he valued Lin Yi. Because Shangguan Minghong knew in his heart that only Lin Yi could help him get rid of Feng Liancheng. Otherwise, he would have no chance of winning against Feng Liancheng.
Shangguan Minghong said: "Brother Lin, I came here overnight. You are so anxious to see me, what happened?!"
Lin Yi took out the note and handed it to Shangguan Minghong and said: "Brother, I found this note from the confidant of Li Tianlang, the fourth prince of the Western Region. At that time, the confidant should have returned from outside the region to deliver the message."
After reading it, Shangguan Minghong said: "This is the Western Region script. I only recognize four and eight. I don't recognize the rest."
Lin Yi said: "I asked someone to read it. It said, on the eighth day of April, the Central Plains drinks horses. That person also hid the note in the pill, which shows how much secrets this note hides. Brother, think about it carefully.
What does it mean?”
Shangguan Minghong looked at Lin Yi. He judged that Lin Yi had already thought hard about the analysis and came up with the results, so he was anxious to see him.
Shangguan Minghong said: "Brother, in your opinion, what do these eight characters mean?"
Lin Yi said: "In my opinion, the army of the Western Regions will most likely be preparing to attack the Central Plains on the eighth day of April!"
Shangguan Minghong was surprised when he heard this, and the note in his hand trembled.
Shangguan Minghong knew better than anyone what kind of disaster a sudden attack by the Western Region army would cause.
Shangguan Minghong stared at the note and frowned.
Shangguan Minghong said: "The new army trained by Feng Liancheng will not be fully equipped to march to the border until June. Now on the long northwest border, there are only a few tens of thousands of people defending. If the Western Region armies separate and attack, it will be difficult for us to resist.
"
Lin Yi said: "Brother, you have been strategizing on the battlefield for a long time. Based on your high opinion, is my judgment correct?"
Shangguan Minghong said as if he was talking to himself: "On the eighth day of April, the Central Plains drinks horses... The Central Plains drinks horses... Brother, your inference is correct. The army of the Western Regions is coming to my Central Plains to drink horses."
Shangguan Minghong's face looked so peaceful at this moment.
Lin Yi said: "That's why I'm anxious to see my brother. Let him have plans in mind and take precautions."
Shangguan Minghong collected his thoughts and said: "Now the country is in troubled times, and the war in the south has been stalemate. Moreover, the treasury is almost empty by the south and Feng Liancheng. Now the emperor means to stabilize the Western Region. Feng Liancheng also means the same. Here
On this point, I agree with Feng Liancheng. Now is really not the time to start a war. And if you robbed this note, you also revealed the date of their attack. They will definitely change the date of their attack again. Will they postpone it, or will it be brought forward? I
You have to think carefully about how to stabilize the Western Region army..."
Although Lin Yi didn't know how to lead troops in a big battle, Lin Yi understood that the imperial court's blind avoidance of war would only make the enemy more arrogant. This made Lin Yi, a man in the world, feel angry.
Lin Yi said: "Brother, we all have their own agendas. I have no control over national affairs. But I would like to give you a piece of advice. Only those who dare to fight can make peace. Cowardice cannot avoid disaster! Brother, you might as well give advice to the emperor. Fortunately, we will fight with the Western Regions.
!Kill them for their arrogance!"
Shangguan Minghong smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, things are not as simple as you think."
Lin Yi suppressed his displeasure and said: "Brother, then you should carefully consider how to deal with it. Brother, I still have something to do."
Shangguan Minghong also stood up and said: "I have to rush back to the border town. This matter is too big. I have to discuss it with Feng Liancheng again. Now that the military power is in his hands, I still have to listen to him."
Lin Yi said: "Feng Liancheng will attack you, brother. Brother, you should be more careful."
Shangguan Minghong said: "Don't worry, I will never give Feng Liancheng a chance again."
Shangguan Minghong asked Tian Ying to send Lin Yi out, and then he also hurriedly left Jinzhou with his people.
Lin Yi was almost free of charge on his way back home, he kept thinking about this matter.
Finally, a trace of ridicule appeared on Lin Yi's face.
He muttered to himself: "I was threatened and extorted with a sword against my neck. I didn't want to fight with my sword, but just begged the enemy. And I lived in fear every day, and sooner or later I would suffer the consequences. It seems that someone has to break this deadlock with a sword.
…
Lin Yi's eyes flashed with light, and he seemed to have an idea.
…
When Lin Yi was about to return to the branch, he happened to meet Zuo Chaoyang.
Erkui went back and reported to Zuo Chaoyang that Lin Yi had important matters and asked him to come to Jinzhou quickly. So Zuo Chaoyang came with several of his men.
Before the brothers entered the mansion, they came to the forest on the side of the mansion.
Since the two of them found out that the other was their biological brother, they couldn't be more happy and relieved.
Now that the two have met, they feel even closer.
The two brothers walked side by side in the forest and talked slowly.
Zuo Chaoyang smiled and said: "Good brother, our Erkui came to propose marriage with so many gifts and full of hope. It's fine if you don't agree. In the end, he was beaten until his face was bruised and swollen. Do you think I am easy to bully on Piaoling Island? You have to give
Let me give you an explanation."
Lin Yi said with a smile behind his back: "Master Zuo, please calm down. That was our second grandfather's doing. It's none of my business."
Zuo Chaoyang deliberately sighed and said: "Well, since it was the second grandfather who did it, then even if I break my teeth, I have to swallow them with blood. I can't make my ancestors angry. But, fortunately, I am the island now
Lord, if my master is still alive, he really won't give up."
Lin Yi thought the same thing. With his evil personality, he could just let it go.
Ling Nie can do anything.
Zuo Chaoyang stopped, looked at Lin Yi and said seriously: "Brother, what happened to you in such a hurry to call me here?"
Lin Yi also looked at him.
"Four days later, the Second Grandpa and the Marquis are going to have a life-and-death fight at Wangren Mountain. The Second Grandpa asked me to inform you that he hopes that we two brothers will be present when the time comes. In this way, he will still be smiling even if he dies."
Zuo Chaoyang was startled after hearing this. He was silent for a moment and said: "It is inevitable that we will have to fight for life or death. To be honest, I don't know when I was born. I hope that the Marquis will win. Now, I hope that the second grandpa will win. But I hope the most
They don't want to fight. Brother, or we both find a way to ruin this decisive battle..."
Lin Yi said: "The Qin family owes the Su family an explanation."
Zuo Chaoyang said nothing after hearing this.
Lin Yi didn't say anything. He kicked up a pebble with his toes and shot a mouse that ran past two feet away to death.
The battle between Su Qinghou and Wang Huihui, no matter who lives or dies, will be a huge pain for Lin Yi.
