The generals were very surprised. The commander-in-chief actually agreed to let Lin Hu lead the troops. It was really unexpected. It is not that Lin Hu lacked ability. He had already proven himself in the battle at Fangcheng Mountain and was praised and praised by everyone in the army.
Respected. But this time it is an extremely dangerous job. The ten thousand cavalry are out of the camp. If their whereabouts are accidentally exposed, they will be the focus of the enemy's siege. Moreover, it is absolutely impossible for the Luoyan Army to leave the built camp.
They went to rescue, because that would play into the Jurchens' hands. They could use the besieged soldiers and horses as bait to lure the Yan army out of the camp to fight. This obviously betrayed Lin Jue's intention to change field warfare into positional warfare, and build camps to turn passive into active.
combat thoughts.
It was impossible for Lin Jue to take risks to save Lin Hu. He would not risk the lives of the entire army.
Seeing that everyone was a little silent, Lin Jue laughed and said: "What? Do you think General Lin Hu is not suitable? I think he is suitable. As the saying goes, one should not avoid relatives when promoting talents. Although he is my nephew of the Lin clan, I
I will not show favoritism, nor will I deliberately suppress him to avoid suspicion. If he fails to complete the task, I will deal with him under military law. Just be a witness."
Ma Bin said hurriedly: "No, no, General Xiaolin is definitely a suitable candidate. We just think this job is too dangerous and are worried about any accidents."
Lin Jue laughed and said: "It turns out that's the case, but that's too much to worry about. This is a war, and anyone can die. You, me and all the brothers can die, and the brothers of the Luoyan Army can also die. Lin Hu naturally
It is inevitable. If we are all worried about accidents, then why fight?"
Ma Bin laughed and said, "That's what I said. Look, Brother Lin started to scold me again."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "How dare you, how dare you."
Ma Qingshan smiled and said: "The marshal summoned us here just to remind us that the battle is about to begin soon, right?"
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Exactly. We have discussed the specific combat matters against the enemy many times, and everyone understands them and cooperates tacitly. We are already very proficient in the coordination of horse, infantry and firearms, so I don't want to say more.
I have called you here. The main purpose of calling you here is to remind you that the battle is about to begin. Everyone must be mentally prepared. When we go back, we will also remind our brothers to be ready to welcome the Jurchen attack at any time. In addition, I personally have a little
I have a small private matter to resolve, and as I am the commander-in-chief of the army, I naturally have to inform you all."
When everyone heard what Lin Jue said, they hurriedly listened quietly.
"You all know what happened between me and the Jurchen Golden Flower Princess. This is my personal private matter, and it is not appropriate to discuss it with you, but under the current situation, I have to talk about it. Princess Golden Flower and this handsome man
There is no need to elaborate on what happened between them. In short, you all know the current situation. I got married to her when I was staying in the Jurchen camp. Later, I escaped from the Jurchens and married Jinhua.
The princess said goodbye. She gave birth to a son for me, which is the child that some of you saw this morning. Wanyan Agu was so heartbroken that he threatened me with the lives of their mother and son, which made people extremely angry. As a great Zhou
An important minister and the commander-in-chief of the army will naturally not be coerced by him to betray the interests of Zhou Dynasty for my wife and children, Lin. I think you all understand this without having to explain it. However... Personally, I
I cannot sit back and watch my wife and children, Lin Jue, become victims of the grudge between me and the Jurchens. I cannot remain indifferent. I judge that tomorrow morning, a war will begin. Once Wanyan Agu and I fall out, the lives of their mother and son will be in danger.
There is no way to save it. Wanyan Aguda has lost his humanity. He has nothing to lose.
I can do it. In view of this, I must do something for their mother and son tonight and try to rescue them from trouble. I hope you can understand my feelings and understand my feelings as a husband and father."
Everyone had doubts about this matter. Marshal Lin was successful at a young age, and was both civil and military. Such a son of heaven was naturally entangled in love and debt. It was not a secret that Marshal Lin had many darling wives and concubines in his family. With Wanyan Mingyue,
In fact, Lin Jue didn't say anything about that incident, but everyone had already heard about it. At that time, he and the Jurchens were not yet hostile, so it was not inappropriate to fall in love with Wanyan Mingyue, Wanyan Aguda's sister. Who would have thought that
Will there be this day? This marriage has only now discovered that fate has played a trick on people. The Golden Flower Princess and her son have become the hostages of the other party to threaten Lin Jue.
Everyone could not talk about this matter, but they all considered it for Lin Jue in their hearts and found that this matter was really difficult. If Marshal Lin didn't care about the life and death of Princess Jinhua and her son, to put it mildly, he would be sacrificing himself for the overall situation.
It's a selfish act, but it is also an act of ruthlessness and justice. With Marshal Lin's behavior, this is probably impossible. But if this matter needs to be resolved, I'm afraid it can't be resolved. Wanyan Aguda will not let him go, and the two sides are about to
If they fight, Princess Jinhua and her son may not survive. At least Lin Jue's son will definitely not survive. Wanyan Aguda will definitely kill Marshal Lin's son to vent his anger and attack Marshal Lin.
Lin Jue raised this matter himself at this moment, and of course everyone was extremely concerned. But after hearing Lin Jue's words, everyone seemed to feel a faint uneasiness. Listening to Lin Jue's tone, it seemed that he wanted to take action.
"Marshal, we are also worried about this matter. What does the marshal want to do? We all listen to you. Why don't you deign to take some people to rescue the madam and the young master." Ma Qingshan said solemnly.
Lin Jue smiled and waved his hands: "That can't be done. I said, this is my private matter, I will handle it myself. I do want to rescue, but it is none of your business. I have asked Bing'er to explore the way.
, I know where their mother and son live. There will be a war tomorrow, so tonight I am going to try to save their mother and son. Let me make it clear to you, public is public, private is private, this is the private matter of my Lin family, and it will never
Will let everyone follow the adventure."
Everyone was shocked, and Ma Qingshan shouted loudly: "How can this happen? Could it be that the Marshal wants to personally take part in the danger?"
Ma Bin also shouted: "Yeah, this is not a good idea. You are the coach, how can you take such a risk? You can't do it."
The generals also shouted: "It can't be done, it can't be done, it's too dangerous, this is absolutely impossible."
Lin Jue waved his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and said in a deep voice: "Of course I know this is very dangerous, but you have to understand my feelings. If I, Lin Jue, don't even save my wife and children, and if they die here, it will make me regret my life.
Responsibility. I also know that I am the commander-in-chief of the army and have a heavy responsibility. That’s why I called you here. Everyone, listen up. From now on, all affairs of the army will be handed over to the two adults, Ma Bin and Ma Qingshan. The two adults work together.
Act as the acting commander until I return safely. If I cannot return safely, the two adults will fight against the Jurchens according to the designated battle plan. We have discussed the specific battle matters, and you are also very clear about it. This will not
As for disrupting the army’s battle plan.”
Everyone was stunned and at a loss. Ma Qingshan frowned and said: "Marshal, think twice. After all, it is extremely dangerous to do this. If something happens to the marshal, it will have a huge impact. I may be able to withstand this battle, but I, the Great Zhou
What about the future? A marshal is still needed to run the court and lead the Zhou Dynasty to prosperity. There are many
Things still need you to be at the helm. Who else can do this except you?"
Ma Bin also nodded and said: "Yes, Brother Lin, you can't take risks. It's too dangerous. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Two adults, brothers, you should know what I, Lin, am like. The ambition I set when I was young was to protect my family and friends around me and prevent them from suffering and being bullied. Although this ambition is narrow
, but it was indeed my only thought at the time. It was only after experiencing so many ups and downs, and with the greater responsibility, that I developed a heart of compassion for the people of the world, and then I worked hard to realize the teachings of my teacher, seek welfare for the people of the world, and live and work in peace and contentment.
However, for the sake of the people of the world, of course, it also includes the people around me. If I don’t even save my wife and children when they are in danger, it would be a joke to express compassion for the world and seek benefits for the people of the world. Besides, I can’t pass this test in my own heart.
.You can rest assured that with Bing'er following me, even if we fail to succeed, we will be able to escape unscathed. It seems to you that I will die if I leave here."
Ma Bin smacked his lips and said: "It's understandable that you want to save your wife and children. If it were me, Ma Bin, I would have to make the same decision as you. However, we are not at ease if only you and Miss Bai go. We must
Just bring in more manpower."
Lin Jue waved his hand and said: "With more people, it is easier to expose your whereabouts. Besides, this is my private matter, so how can I let others take risks with me."
Ma Qingshan said: "My lord, this matter is no longer your family matter, it is a matter that concerns the overall situation. Wanyan Agu threatened his wife and the young master just to influence the overall situation. I don't agree with the marshal on this point.
Opinion."
Lin Jue said: "You are right, but whether it is a business matter or a private matter, it is not important. I am going to save people, I have already decided. Don't try to persuade me."
Ma Qingshan said: "If it's just you two, we won't agree."
"Yes, I'll help." Ma Bin said, "Brother Lin can't believe my skills."
"There is also Beizhi. Beizhi once joined forces with the military advisor on the island and cooperated with each other tacitly. How could such things happen without me?" Liang Qi shouted.
"There's still me, there's still me." The generals shouted one after another.
Lin Jue frowned and looked a little unhappy. At this time, Sun Dayong said in a deep voice: "No one is allowed to go. It is my duty to protect the commander-in-chief, Sun Dayong. I can just go with you. Commander-in-chief, I choose three
If you go with a good guard brother, your whereabouts will not be exposed. If you risk your life, we will ensure the marshal's safety."
Lin Jue frowned and looked at Sun Dayong. Seeing Sun Dayong's determined expression that he had to go, he finally smiled bitterly after a long while and said: "That's all, Sun Dayong will just take a few people to follow. Others, please stop making noises. This is to save people."
, act secretly, instead of rushing in with a big fanfare and dying in a noisy manner? This is unreasonable."
The generals were speechless. Indeed, their lack of skills would only cause trouble. Ma Bin, Ma Qingshan, Liang Qi and others also tried to persuade, but Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "That's it for now, everyone, please go back to camp. There are still so many brothers here in the evening."
Build camps and dig trenches, and you have to prepare for battle. Don't stay here. This is a military order and must not be disobeyed."
Ma Bin, Ma Qingshan and the generals had no choice but to bow and bow out of the tent.
Lin Hu was the last one to exit. Before exiting, he came to Lin Jue and said in a deep voice: "Uncle, be careful."
Lin Jue smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "You too."
