These two sentences were even more abrupt. Lin Yi felt aroused in his heart and vaguely heard the true meaning of his words.

"Your father and I are old friends, so we will naturally speak directly."

Wei Rui looked at him and continued, "No matter how unfaithful an ordinary practitioner has a different intention, it will not be too harmful to the entire dynasty. However, if a major official in the country has a different intention, it will cause countless disasters. Before, you were the same as your official rank, and insignificant in the Southern Dynasties, but if you guard Zhongli Dasheng, you will be very different in the future."

"What's more, if you kill Xi Ruyu, even if you kill a cultivator in the Divine Thought Realm, you use thousands of military forces to block more than 100,000 troops and kill countless enemies, which makes Yang Dian helpless. If such a record is spread, it will not be just a matter of military merit."

Wei Rui looked at Lin Yi deeply, paused, and then said: "This is a record that has not been seen in history books. You will become the object of worship. There will be countless legends around you. In the minds of many people, you will be like a god. No matter what kind of reward you are given, you will become an important figure in the Southern Dynasty. Any words and deeds of yours will have a profound impact on the Southern Dynasty in the future."

What Wei Rui said was indeed very direct. Lin Yi completely understood the meaning of this border general, and he sighed in his heart.

These real big shots often have the same things they see and worry about.

"I understand what you mean."

His face became serious and then said seriously: "What you reminded me, Military Secretary Chen has also reminded me."

Wei Rui's eyes stayed on Chen Jinru for a moment. He didn't have much surprise expression. He just said: "The response is one thing, but you are destined to rise too fast. The path you are taking is different from that of us. You can reach the peak in one step. You have not gone through many difficult choices and compromises, and your temperament is even more impossible to compromise. But no matter how you act in the future, you should understand that in fact, people like us, giving in and grievances are just taking the overall situation into consideration."

Lin Yi nodded, and he smiled bitterly, saying, "So many people like my father back then were because of the four words of taking into account the overall situation."

"One general succeeds and thousands of bones are woven."

Wei Rui took a deep breath, looked at the north shore, stretched out his finger, and pointed the north shore in great solemnity, "Even if our army had already won a great victory at this time and was pursuing the remnants of the Northern Wei army, there were still many brothers and sisters dying in each breath. Many scholars had never been to the battlefield. In their opinion, we generals were naturally ruthless, but they rarely thought seriously about the success of the so-called general... We have fought on the border for many years, and what do we really want after obtaining this so-called merit? Is it just the peace of the rest of our lives? Or is it famous in history?"

"If you have a little bit of skills, it is the easiest thing to do if you want to be rich in small wealth. As for those who are determined to be famous in history, they are those who seek fame. How can they be willing to limit themselves to real life and death battles and gamble their heads."

Wei Rui said softly with emotion: "At the end of the battle, I still think about peace in the world and there are few wars."

Lin Yi listened carefully. He naturally respected the tiger general of the border army who was worried about the country and the people. He did not comment, but said: "I will remember what General Wei said today."

...

...

"Victory, great victory!"

In a camp, a military general looked at the case file in front of him, feeling uneasy. The pen tip in his hand dripped ink down, and the ink had become a beach, but he didn't notice it. Suddenly, he heard someone outside the account shouting loudly. He raised his head and saw a messenger rushing into the camp with ecstasy.

There is no threshold for this camp except for the door curtain, but the slogan was too impatient and tripped down and fell forward.

But the messenger quickly got up and before he stood up, he shouted again, "Big victory! Big victory!"

The military general's breathing paused and shouted, "Where is the big victory?"

"Zhongli! Zhongli won a great victory!"

The eunuch had some dry dust on his face, but his eyes seemed to emit light, "Wei Rui's army led the water of Yinling Daze to Zhongli, and the Northern Wei army was flooded. Our army took advantage of the situation to attack and kill, almost completely annihilated Xi Ruyu's army and Yang Dan's army. The Northern Wei army, which had only less than 10,000 left, was defeated to the north."

"It's such a great victory!"

With a loud bang, the general was also ecstatic. He pressed his hands on the desk and broke the desk.

"The unparalleled achievements are unparalleled achievements!"

The general stood up and said twice, then shook his whole body, "Where is the defenders in the city?"

"The defenders and Tie Ce army in the city, there are more than 600 people left in the Golden Crow Cavalry... General Lin Yi of Tie Ce army, he... is still alive!" The messenger said this, his voice trembled and could not help himself: "Before Wei Rui's army arrived, he led the defenders to occupy the northern wall, and the 100,000 Northern Wei army did not dare to approach!"

"Martial God, it's a blessing for my dynasty!"

The general trembled for several breaths before he came to his senses and shouted loudly: "Hurry, send me letters everywhere and report the victory!"

...

...

The water in Zhongli City has receded. Except for some particularly strong warehouses, most of the houses have been washed away by the flood. The short walls and ruins are filled with debris from the flood, the bodies of the soldiers of the two dynasties, and the thick mud deposited after the water flows down.

Whether it was the surviving city defenders or the later Tie Ce army, they had been fighting continuously for many days and had been seriously overdrawn in their physical strength. However, the more exhausted they were, when such a battle ended, many people could not fall asleep.

A Tiece Army soldier leaned against a pile of hay. He could not even move a finger. He felt that he could fall asleep with his eyes closed and could sleep for several days. But for some reason, he could not close his eyes when he looked at the mess in the city and the troops of Wei Rui who were in the aftermath.

"Your name is Hu Bayue?"

A voice rang beside him.

The Tie Ce Army soldier turned his head with difficulty, but in the next moment, he struggled to sit up.

However, Lin Yi shook his head at him, sat down beside him, and lay down on the pile of hay.

"You should have heard it when General Wei Rui talked to me before." Lin Yi looked at the Tie Ce Army soldier with respect in his eyes and whispered: "For the general, in the end, he hopes that the world will be peaceful and there will never be any war, but everyone thinks differently. Like many of you, they have to join the army due to laws, and some people have no family business. They hope that after a few years of military service, they will use military pay and rewards to place some land. Everyone has different positions and thinks differently. What you think and what the general thinks should also be different."

The Tie Ce Army soldier didn't know what Lin Yi meant to say these, but he listened blankly, not knowing how to reply for a while.

Lin Yi continued, "Your name is easy to remember. I remembered it when I marched before... You can't sleep now, so I will talk to you. You think you have fought many times and are lucky enough to survive. Is it worth it?"

"If this is certainly not worth it." The Tie Ce Army soldier was silent for a moment and said, "It's just that there is an old saying in our hometown that people live in one breath. Whether it's big or small, whether it's plowing the fields or being a sergeant, the key is whether it's going well in one breath."

"Someone bullies the enemy and doesn't fight back, and it will be unhappy in one breath." The sergeant of Tie Ce Army said seriously: "When you are not angry, you will not think about the consequences of fighting. Can you get money or lose money."
