(I was busy yesterday, so I didn’t have time to update, so I apologize. I’ll make up for it today, so I stayed up late and wrote a big chapter first.)
Time flies, and soon the golden autumn season of September arrives. The sky is high and the clouds are clear, and the geese fly from the north to the south. It is the harvest season and the last beautiful season of the year. After the golden autumn, the harsh winter comes again.
There is a busy scene of harvesting rice, sorghum and other crops in Luoyan Valley. The Luoyan Army also mobilized manpower to help harvest rice and plant winter wheat in addition to intense training. For the entire Funiu County, this year's harvest is particularly important. Because of the large number of soldiers and horses
With the expansion and the defection of the people, the military and civilian population of Funiu County increased several times.
Different from the past, when more than 100,000 troops were in the Funiu Mountains, the food supplies produced in the village could not be eaten. The food supplies accumulated over the past few years could be used for basic consumption for several years. But now, the population has increased several times
, and most of them are people who defected this year. Even if there are large acres of reclaimed land for them to cultivate and be self-sufficient, after all, the farming season waits for no one. Many people have divided their land, but they can no longer plant crops, so they need to use reserve materials.
To supply. Although the previous reserves were strong, they could not withstand a large amount of consumption. And more importantly, once the war started, the consumption of grain and grass materials would be greater, soldiers and horses would not be able to participate in production, and a large number of people would have to be mobilized.
Young people come to carry out the logistics work of soldiers and horses. The production of food and materials will inevitably be greatly affected.
Under such circumstances, this year's harvest of grain is extremely important. It is so important that both the young prince Guo Kun and the commander of the Luoyan Army, Lin Jue, personally participated in harvesting the crops. Lin Jue also proposed "prepare for war, prepare for famine, and return the grains"
"Cang's" slogan. He also asked everyone to practice frugality and put forward the slogan "Waste is shameful and thrift is glorious." He asked everyone not to waste a grain of grain, a drop of oil, a piece of cloth, a piece of meat, or a piece of skin.
Lin Jue is well aware of the seriousness of the problem. The news in the past few months shows that Wanyan Aguda and the Liao people are expanding their troops, and they are obviously ready to make a move. The news from Xuanyi Guards who went out to inquire shows that the Jurchens
The army has gathered 250,000 to 60,000 people and is training day and night in Dading Prefecture and Liaoyang Prefecture, causing chaos. With only half of the country left, the Liao Kingdom also signs that the people have formed 200,000 soldiers and horses, and has already
Heading to Xijin Prefecture for day and night training. Such news is undoubtedly not a good thing.
After Wanyan Agu united with the tribal soldiers and horses to annihilate the imperial court south of Yeluping Mountain, Lin Jue began to think that Wanyan Agu would turn around without hesitation and fight with the tribal soldiers and horses, taking advantage of the situation to destroy the people who no longer had much ability to resist.
Liao Kingdom. But Wanyan Agu did not do this. This made Lin Jue take a high look at Wanyan Agu. If Wanyan Agu could not resist the temptation and wanted to destroy the Liao Kingdom, then the dog-eat-dog war would at least continue.
For a period of time. And even if Wanyan Agu won the victory, he would still have to digest the fruits of victory. The Liao Kingdom had a population of tens of millions and a century-old foundation that was deeply rooted. He had to stabilize the entire occupied area before he dared to attack the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Then the Zhou Dynasty can survive for at least a year and a half, and the Luoyan Army can also get more time to prepare. During this period, if Guo Xu and Lu Zhongtian understand, they will definitely be prepared for defense. End
Yan Agu’s defecation is not so easy.
But now it seems that Wanyan Aguda clearly understands this, and his desire for the prosperous Southern Zhou Dynasty seems to be more urgent. In other words, he actually understands better that Da Zhou is a sick and dying man at this moment.
The tiger, now is the best opportunity to kill it. Once this opportunity is missed and the tiger recovers its health, he will never have the chance to kill it. So his choice is to kill it while it is sick, and he even kills it.
As helpers, the Liao people were determined to win.
Lin Jue knew that Wanyan Agu was so ambitious, which would be a disaster for the Zhou Dynasty. The Zhou Dynasty court did not seem to be aware of the danger until now. Intelligence said that the Liao Kingdom and the Jurchen Kingdom of the Zhou Dynasty had signed a non-aggression agreement.
In the treaty of friendship, the Zhou Dynasty now gave the Jurchens the exact same amount of silver and supplies as tribute to the Liao people. This obviously believed that the Jurchens and the Liao people would truly abide by the treaty. If you want to gain peace in this way,
It’s really ridiculous. The entire Zhou imperial court would not even realize that the silver and grain they sent
Supplies will become food for the opponent's weapons, equipment, horses and soldiers to attack you. They are digging their own graves.
Lin Jue knew that the war was imminent. Wanyan Agu would not wait too long, he just needed to be ready. Therefore, the Luoyan Army's war preparations could not be relaxed for a moment. Maybe after one night, the Luoyan Army would go to the battlefield to fight.
On the morning of September 12th, when Lin Jue was helping the people dry rice in the field, Sun Dayong led a group of bodyguards and cavalry and escorted a disheveled man to the field to see Lin Jue.
"Sir, a craftsman was captured on the eastern slope of Jiming Mountain. The brothers below escorted the craftsman to the county government. After we took off his coat, we found that he was not wearing my Dazhou clothes, but rather a Jurchen from the north.
This guy also has a strange accent, so I suspected that he was an agent sent by the Jurchens to spy on our military situation, so I took him here to ask your Majesty to punish him." Sun Dayong stepped forward to report.
Lin Jue took the cloth and wiped his hands, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the haystack next to the barn. The captured fine work was tied up and pressed to the ground, and he screamed sadly. The clothes on his body were indeed very special.
Judging from the clothes and the appearance of the Zhou people, they are indeed Jurchens.
"Who are you? What's your purpose in coming to Funiu Mountain? Are you here to spy on the military situation of our Luoyan Army?" Lin Jue shouted in a deep voice.
The man lay on the ground and shouted: "Spare your life, spare your life, I'm not a mean person, I'm here to find someone."
The accent was indeed the blunt Zhou Mandarin. The clothes could hide it, but the accent was difficult to fake. This person spoke with weird pronunciation. Lin Jue had been in the Jurchen army, and there were many people there who could speak Chinese.
almost.
"First of all, who are you? Are you a Liao or a Jurchen? Why are you here?" Lin Jue shouted.
"The villain is from the Jurchen tribe. He came here to find someone. He really did." The man admitted.
"Looking for someone? Who to look for?" Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
"Is this Funiu Mountain? What I'm looking for is a village owner named Lin from Funiu Mountain." The man said.
"The leader of the village named Lin? Who sent you to find him? What are you looking for?" Lin Jue was stunned and asked with a frown.
"Well...I can't say. I don't know if this is Funiu Mountain yet. I didn't dare to ask any more questions along the way. When I got to the foot of the mountain, I was arrested and I wasn't allowed to explain. I had to go to Funiu Mountain.
I can't tell you until I see that Lin Jue." The Jurchen shook his head and said.
"You want to find Lin Jue? Do you know him? I do know him. Tell me who asked you to come to him, and I will introduce him to you. This is also Funiu Mountain." Lin Jue asked with a smile.
The Jurchen said happily: "Is it true? Do you really know Lin Jue? Then please tell him that I, the Jurchen Golden Flower Princess, sent a villain to find him. I have been walking on the road for more than a month. Oh, it's true.
found it."
Lin Jue cried out in surprise, and all the guards looked astonished when they knew the inside story. It turned out that it was the Golden Flower Princess Wanyan Mingyue who sent people to find Mr. Lin. The Jurchens were about to attack Dazhou, and Mr. Lin wanted to
After fighting with the Jurchens, at this time, the Jurchen princess sent people to find you. Could it be that she wanted to persuade you to surrender? Or was she trying to tip off someone?
The study room was quiet in the afternoon. The autumn sun slanted into the room through the long window and also illuminated Lin Jue's figure sitting on the chair next to the desk.
Lin Jue held a letter in his hand. The letter was crumpled and had been sewn into the collar of his underwear by the messenger. The dust along the way had made the envelope dirty.
Fortunately, it was a parchment envelope, and although the paper inside was wrinkled, it was not damaged by moisture.
The handwriting on the letter is beautiful and neat, and each one is as delicate as a hairpin.
"Lin Langru, my words are like my face. We saw each other last year, and it has been more than a year now. I wonder if my husband still remembers me? But I miss my husband every day. I miss my husband every day. Every month, I lean on the railing.
When watching the flying geese in the sky, all the thoughts in my heart are in your body, which is really tormenting. Is your health good? How many bowls do you eat a day? Can you add or remove clothes for cold and heat? Will your affairs go smoothly? Every time I think of these,
The concubine felt extremely ashamed. The concubine was not abandoned by the husband and was already the wife of the Lin family, but she could not serve the husband in daily life and share the troubles. It was really unworthy. She only asked for the husband.
Don't blame me, please understand my difficulties."
After reading this paragraph, Lin Jue felt extremely heavy. He sighed and continued reading.
"...I shouldn't have written this letter to bother my husband, but after thinking about it, I felt that I had to write to tell him something. Since last year, the situation has changed rapidly. After the First World War in Liaoyang Mansion, my Jurchen
The situation was established for the clan. Yelu Zongyuan died under the city of Liaoyang. The Liao Kingdom was already in danger and was in danger of overthrowing at any time. I, the Jurchens, had established a firm foothold and now occupied half of the Liao Kingdom. At that time, I thought that my brother would
Destroying the Liao Kingdom in one go will complete the great cause of our Jurchen tribe to replace the Liao Kingdom, and the world will be at peace. However, my husband's prophecy unfortunately came true. My brother was greedy and overly ambitious, and he planned to go south.
Originally, as a Jurchen, I should not reveal this news. But it is no longer a secret to my husband. Besides, my husband has turned against the Zhou Dynasty court and he is not an official of the Zhou Dynasty court, so I decided to tell my husband about this.
, so that your husband will not be defenseless."
"My husband told me at the beginning that my brother would definitely covet Dazhou. I didn't quite believe it at the time. Now it seems that my husband is far-sighted and far-sighted, which is beyond my short-sightedness. I once asked my husband at that time, if my brother
If we really go south, what will my husband do? My husband told me that you will definitely raise an army to resist the enemy, not for Guo Xu, but for Dazhou. You want me to persuade my brother to give up such thoughts, otherwise you and your brother will definitely be on the battlefield in the future.
We met. After I learned about my brother’s intentions, I tried to persuade him many times. Unfortunately, my brother had already made up his mind, and I could not persuade him to turn back. Now that he and I have broken up, I have returned to live among the tribes at the foot of Changbai Mountain.
.But he is my brother after all. What I fear most is that you and my brother will meet on the battlefield. You are all my relatives. No matter which one of you is hurt, I cannot bear the result. So.
, I asked someone to send this letter to you, just to pray to my husband. If one day you and your brother really meet on the battlefield, I hope that your husband will be generous and not kill my brother. I pray that my husband will take care of me.
I will spare his life on this thin surface. I know that if you do this, your husband will despise me more than you do. You will not consider personal affairs before justice. But I still want to pray for your husband to be lenient. Although my brother has many soldiers and horses, he has assembled a huge number of people.
Dajun, but I know that he is definitely no match for you. I can only ask for help from my husband."
When Lin Jue saw this, he frowned and thought. At first, he thought it was a letter written by Wanyan Mingyue informing him of Wanyan Agu's intention to attack south. Only when he saw this did he realize that it was a letter of mercy.
.Wanyan Mingyue is very confident in herself and thinks that she will win, so she begs herself to spare Wanyan Aguda's life. Her confidence in herself is stronger than her own confidence in herself. Maybe this is love.
, in her eyes, her lover is invincible. Of course Lin Jue would not blame her. Putting herself in another position, when her lover and her relatives are facing off on the battlefield, it must be heart-breaking.
Wanyan Mingyue was worried that this would happen, because she knew Lin Jue and knew that the possibility of this happening was extremely high.
"I know that this request may embarrass my husband, but I have to beg for it shamelessly. If your husband is angry, I am willing to bear it. If your husband is unwilling to agree, I have nothing to do. I can only pray to the God of Immortality to keep you both safe.
, everything is left to God’s will. At this moment, I shouldn’t have written this letter, but I just wrote it. The book is short but the love is long, and there are actually many things I want to say, but at this moment, my writing has condensed, and I can’t say it.
Come out. I don’t say much. I just think about my husband day and night. I hope you and I can meet again. My husband, please take care of yourself and everything will be fine. I send my best wishes to my sisters and sisters at home. I put down my pen and say,
Be safe, husband."
Lin Jue let out a long breath and was about to put down the letter in his hand. Suddenly, a thin piece of paper slipped from the gap between the letter. Lin Jue reached out and picked it up and looked at it twice, and his face suddenly showed surprise and surprise.
"I gave birth to a son on the ninth day of the sixth lunar month, and I named him Lin Nian. My husband is the father of the child. He should give me the child's first name. Please give him a name and give it to Wuerbai who delivered the letter. I asked Nian'er to bring it back to me.
My husband kowtows."
"Did she... give birth to a son for me?" Lin Jue was stunned on the chair, like a clay or wood sculpture.
