Ma Changqing actually wanted to ask more questions. He still had a lot to ask. For example, just now Lin Jue mysteriously said that "the secret of heaven cannot be leaked" and pessimistically believed that the Northern Expedition Army would be defeated. Ma Changqing wanted to ask more carefully.
But Lin Jue obviously didn't want to say any more. Even so, Ma Changqing was shocked by tonight's conversation. He knew the real reason why Lin Jue raised the flag to rebel, and there were not many people in the world who knew this secret. He believed that Lin Jue
Lin Jue felt that he was not rebelling for his own ambition, because all Lin Jue's explanations were logical and well-organized. The whole conversation greatly relieved Ma Changqing's confusion, and also gave Ma Changqing a glimpse of a more lofty realm. Of course, the only
What Ma Changqing couldn't agree with was that Lin Jue sealed the fate of the Northern Expeditionary Army with the explanation that "the secrets of heaven cannot be leaked." This was something Ma Changqing couldn't accept.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Lin, for being willing to talk to me. Today's conversation with Mr. Lin has benefited me a lot. I hope I can teach Mr. Lin again in the future. Just like tonight, we have a frank and detailed discussion. Thank you again.
Mr. Lin and the two ladies did not mind Ma's inconvenience, so Changqing took his leave." Ma Changqing expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart, bowed his hands, and then turned around and left slowly.
Lin Jue put down his cupped hands, watched Ma Changqing's back disappear under the dim moonlight, and sighed softly.
At this moment, Gao Muqing spoke softly: "My husband also trusts this Ma Changqing too much. It seems that you have never said what you just said to us. Even I didn't know your true thoughts until now. You seem to have
I didn’t say these things to the young prince, Brother Ma, and the others.”
Lin Jue smiled bitterly and said: "Mu Qing, you are all simple and innocent people. There is no need for me to talk about those complicated things with you and make you worry. This Ma Changqing is actually suffering a lot in his heart. I guess he is afraid of it every night.
He's the kind of person who can't sleep. I don't want you to think too much at night and keep you awake. So you don't need to know these things."
Bai Bing smiled and said: "That's right, I almost fell asleep after listening to it. I don't want to know these boring things. We can just do whatever my husband tells us. Why do we need to know too much."
Gao Muqing said angrily: "Come on, blame me for talking too much."
Bai Bing hugged Gao Muqing's arm and said, "I didn't mean that, I meant, we have husbands here, why bother so much?"
Gao Muqing thought about it and realized that this was right. Why should he worry about it when Lin Jue was here?
"My husband seems to appreciate this horse Changqing very much. I have never seen my husband say so many words to a person he just met. It seems like he has been a friend for many years." Bai Bing started to talk more.
Lin Jue chuckled and did not answer. He really admired Ma Changqing. Lin Jue would not neglect anyone who could ask those questions and feel confused and painful about Da Zhou's future and destiny. Because they had already started.
The awakened group of people, not the ignorant walking dead. On the one hand, it is out of respect for them, and on the other hand, it is naturally out of a desire to share. Share with these people, and you will get more or less benefits.
understand.
Of course, the purpose is not just that.
In the early morning, Lin Jue and a group of Luoyan Army guards set out to leave. Without disturbing the hundreds of wounded soldiers who were sleeping soundly on the other side of the clearing, they quietly walked through the forest in the thin rising morning mist and went straight to
Northeast direction.
They were going in the direction they had set when they came, which was Dadingfu in Zhongjing. Lin Jue's main purpose of coming here was to secretly observe and study the fighting methods of the Jurchens and Liao people, and to evaluate the combat capabilities of both sides. In doing so,
Naturally, it was to prepare for a possible confrontation in the future. It was not Lin Jue's wish to waste time on both sides of the Sanggan River. If he had not wanted to contribute to the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Lin Jue and others would have left long ago.
Now there is no need for Lin Jue to stay on the battlefield in front of Xijin Mansion, because Yang Jun is no longer worthy of Lin Jue doing anything for him. He has a deep prejudice against Lin Jue, and it is impossible to believe Lin Jue's intelligence.
After two attempts, Lin Jue was already clear about this. The battle in front of Xijin Mansion was about to begin, but Lin Jue did not want to stay here and did not want to wait for the result. He only had more than a hundred people, so his inability to participate in this battle was not the main reason.
, the main reason is that Lin Jue already had an ominous premonition.
He didn't want to test his hunch here. In fact, Lin Jue really hoped that he could be slapped in the face by Yang Jun. In that case, the entire course of history might be reversed, and Lin Jue would not have to worry about the fate of history all day long.
.
…
Sixty miles south of Xijin Mansion, a dense army of soldiers and horses occupied the official roads and hills of six to seven miles. All the supplies were heavily protected in the middle, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.
Layers of protective and alert formations were formed. In the darkness before dawn, torches and bonfires were brightly lit on the hills and mountains. The soldiers unsheathed their weapons and paid close attention to the movements far and near without taking off their armor. Hundreds of scout teams were lurking in the camp.
He walked in all directions of the camp, paying attention to any strange movements.
The entire Zhou army was like a hedgehog under attack, curling up with burrs all over its body to prevent being attacked. This was because they had just experienced a sudden attack. The leading cavalry had lost tens of thousands of men.
The life and death of cavalry vanguard officer Han Gang and others are still unknown.
Yesterday morning, when the news about the ambush of the Zhou cavalry was sent to Yang Jun, Yang Jun immediately realized that this might be a big mistake he had made. The warning sent by Lin Jue was ignored by him.
, I even felt that Lin Jue had ulterior motives, deliberately creating panic and slowing down the army. I believed that in such terrain, the Liao army's cavalry could not move back and forth, nor could they use their roaring blows.
The advantage of leaving immediately. Therefore, the so-called ambush attack is simply a joke.
However, the facts gave Yang Jun a big slap in the face. The ambush really happened, and Lin Jue's warning was not a lie but true. Yang Jun hoped that Han Gang and others could escape unscathed, but bad news came one after another.
At noon, Yang Jun received the final loss situation. More than half of the first 20,000 cavalry troops were lost, and all the cavalry had turned around and moved closer to the large group of troops. Han Gang lost contact with the 10,000 cavalry troops, and they were forced to rush in.
Deeper into the enemy's ambush circle, it was obviously a more or less disastrous outcome.
Yang Jun immediately ordered the army to stop advancing and form a defensive formation with the Chinese army as the core. Yang Jun was worried that this was the beginning of a series of ambushes. He had already been careless once before, and now he must be cautious. The army began to attack in the afternoon.
Actively mobilized to form a strong defense system. When all the baggage and materials arrived at the position of the Chinese army and were protected, Yang Jun felt relieved. At this moment, there is no need to be afraid of such a formation even if it is attacked. Yang Jun is among the Chinese army.
Waiting for the latest news
At the same time, he summoned the generals to discuss the military situation and figure out the intentions of the Liao people.
The military advisor meeting lasted from night to late at night, and basically reached a consensus that the Liao people should not carry out large-scale field attacks, again, because the terrain did not allow them to play their combat strengths. Furthermore, the Liao people should not carry out large-scale field attacks.
The number of soldiers and horses was also much smaller than our own. Their purpose was just to deter the army from attacking the Xijin Mansion through ambush and harassment, hoping to buy time for the Xijin Mansion to survive.
After coming to this conclusion, the tense atmosphere eased a bit. Yang Jun also felt that he had overreacted. Before, he was too confident and relaxed and ignored the warning. Now after being attacked, he reacted a little too cautiously, which in turn conveyed his message to everyone.
There are some signs of panic. I have experienced hundreds of battles and been on the battlefield for decades. How can I be at a loss because of this? This is not what it should be.
After the meeting, Yang Jun never rested. He analyzed and analyzed, and suddenly he felt a great hatred for Lin Jue. This matter was ultimately Lin Jue's fault. If this guy didn't get involved, what would happen to him?
If he was given a warning, he could march according to the normal combat strategy. It was precisely because Lin Jue was meddling in his own business with rats and came to give such a warning that he misjudged. This may be Lin Jue's hidden conspiracy.
I was careful, and maybe I knew that I wouldn't believe his warning, so I deliberately played a trick of pretending to be real and making it real, causing myself to make errors in judgment, which led to the current situation.
When Yang Jun came to this conclusion, Lin Jue, who was twenty miles away and had finished his long talk with Ma Changqing and returned to the shack to sleep, sneezed several times. Sometimes things in the world are really speechless. Like one
There are thousands of reasons for people to like him, and even if he does something that is harmful to the world, he will choose to ignore it. There are millions of reasons for hating a person. Even if someone like Lin Jue clearly provided the true story
Intelligence alerted Yang Jun, and the facts also proved that it was Yang Jun's own problems that led to the attack by the Liao people. But in the end, he became the culprit. This is called "when people sit at home, the pot comes from the sky."
'
Of course, the reason why Yang Jun came up with such a far-fetched and shameless reason was because of his own face. Of course, he refused to admit that he had misunderstood Lin Jue and was too careless. He is the commander-in-chief of the army, and he
That's right, so the fault can only be someone else's. This blame can only be blamed on Lin Jue.
The military division meeting in the evening has decided that tomorrow the left and right flank troops and horses will be sent to search and advance to ensure the safety of the march. They will no longer rush forward in pursuit of speed. Therefore, tomorrow morning, wait for the flank troops and horses to explore the terrain of the surrounding hills and dense forests before proceeding.
After replying to the message, Yang Jun would lead the Chinese army and baggage forward. The last few dozen miles would be a careful and long process. But Yang Jun recognized it. Compared with quickly arriving at the gate of Xijin Mansion, it was more cautious and cautious.
It is obviously more in line with the current situation to safely advance the army to the gates of Xijin Mansion. Especially when the Liao people have already eaten more than 10,000 cavalry, caution and caution are extremely necessary.
Just when Yang Jun took off his robe and was about to go to bed to rest, the guards from outside suddenly came to report.
"Report to the marshal, General Han Gang, deputy commander of the forward cavalry corps, and the others are back."
After hearing this report, Yang Jun jumped up like a spring and said in surprise: "What? Han Gang and the others are alive? Bring him to see me quickly."
