And this is just the benefit that Xirong gained after the war with Northern Qi.
As for the benefits that the Mid-Tang Dynasty gained from it, there is no need to talk nonsense. Lin Fengjin met Li Jian, the former king of the Mid-Tang Dynasty, and even served for him. To be honest, this person can only be described as a man of great talent and rough strategy.
Therefore, in his hands, the Central Tang Dynasty was clearly the site of the Four Wars, but it was the most powerful and aggressive country at that time. There was even a war against Northern Qi and Nanzheng at the same time, and he took back five counties with great tyranny.
His achievements, when thinking about the Zhongtang Dynasty at that time, can be described as majestic and heroic.
However, Li Jian died after all. After the new king came to the throne, everyone thought that Li Jian's son was the son of a tiger father and a dog, and he could not even succeed. And the most terrible thing is that everyone knew that getting rich
It is difficult, but it is very easy to become a wealthy person. Even if the scope of wealth is spread to a country, the same principle is true.
In fact, this is also the case. As soon as Li Jian died, a new king came to the throne, and then the Northern Qi Lu Yu next door succeeded in taking the throne. Youdao is afraid of comparing goods. Obviously, before he ascended the throne, the Northern Qi's national power was weaker than that of the Zhongtang.
Some, but after the two new kings took the throne, the situation gradually turned around!!
However, if you just think that the new king of the Zhongtang Dynasty will be willing to admit defeat and admit that he is not as good as Lu Yu? That is a big joke!!
When an eagle hunts a rabbit, it may even break a few ribs by the rabbit's hard kicks, let alone the king of a country?
How could this king of the Middle Tang Dynasty be willing to be looked down upon by the world? He was always plotting to overwhelm Lu Yu. He wanted to use facts to prove that others were farting, and he wanted to prove that other people's eyes were buttholes, the best.
The way was to defeat Lu Yu of the Northern Qi Dynasty and annihilate the so-called snake-eating army in the light of his own Zhongtang soldiers' swords!
Therefore, there was this joint operation that seemed impossible to outsiders. What happened was that in order to get rid of Yuan Hao's shadow, Xirong did not hesitate to take risks and pay all costs at this time, and Zhongtang Young
In order to get rid of the shadow of Lao Tzu and Lu Yu, the king was red-eyed and had to take a gamble...
After thinking through all the causes and consequences, Lin Fengjin quickly began to consider his future actions:
First of all, he must avoid any accidents for his family, and then he must consider what benefits he can get from this war. As for Yedu's industry and so on, Lin Fengjin doesn't really care about it. Wu Zuocheng at this time
It has been basically established, which is equivalent to a cornucopia, so the losses are not worth mentioning.
Lin Fengjin was previously focused on the safety of his family, but now that he thought about it carefully, he suddenly felt that something was not quite right!
Yes, that is obviously the mobilization of the entire Northern Qi army at this time, and the method of dealing with the emergency situation at this time seems to be too old-fashioned, and it feels a bit like not seeking merit but seeking no fault...
.This, this doesn’t seem to be Lu Yu’s style at all.
Therefore, Lin Fengjin gradually began to have doubts in his heart, and he began to feel worried.
Yes, there are some strong concerns:
Did something happen to Lu Yu?
Although Lin Fengjin knows that talking about feelings with a king is actually a very stupid thing, because the latter may fall out at any time because of interests or trivial matters. By the way, he may kill your whole family, and this kind of thing can be said to be a perverted creature.
It is so common in history books...that it has become a nonsense thing like a motto: that is, if the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, or to say "thunder fish sauce", it is all due to the king's kindness.
However, people are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless. He and Lu Yu met in Teng She Ze Longyu. The two went through life and death together, and also tried to entrust each other's back at the most dangerous time. Lin Fengjin became Lu Yu
He has done a lot of things. Lu Yu also trusts him, respects him, and does a lot of things for him. The two of them are close in age. There is a relationship between monarch and minister, but there is also a tacit understanding and friendship.
Therefore, Lin Fengjin immediately had an idea: to find the snake-eating army.
Because wherever the snake-eating army is, Lu Yu is there.
Lin Fengjin knew Lu Yu's trust in the Snake-Eating Army best. He had seen an anecdote in a secret report before. It was said that Lu Yu seemed to be very irritable and insomniac for a period of time last year.
I couldn't sleep all night long, and taking medicine had no effect, so I moved to the Snake Eater Army's barracks to sleep in a rage, and my insomnia was cured immediately without taking medicine.
It may be difficult for the rest of the people to find the Snake-Eating Army. They feel that they come and go without a trace, but for Lin Fengjin, it is not too difficult. Especially the Snake-Eating Army is still a cavalry, with three people per person.
Horse cavalry, people don't need to eat. If the war horses don't have enough fodder, beans and eggs, they will lose weight and collapse until they finally die.
Therefore, behind Lu Yu's snake-eating army, there is actually a huge logistics supply system that is tenaciously supporting it. And as many people and horses as there are in the snake-eating army, the manpower in this logistics system will be greatly increased.
It takes three times to do this better.
For such a huge logistics system, Lu Yu certainly needs officials and capable officials to support him, and they also need people who are loyal to him, so it is not difficult for Lin Fengjin to arrange people in it. The current problem is, the rebels
Hengbo General Tian Wutui
He advanced too fast, and wherever he went, he completely uprooted the local intelligence system and official system. Even the secret lines buried by Lin Fengjin with the help of business roads suffered a disaster. The information Lin Fengjin could obtain was really
Too little.
Thinking of this, Lin Fengjin became a little anxious again. He swept away the roasted lamb leg in front of him in three strokes, and then called people in and said:
"Any news?"
Soon, followers came to report:
"The Xirong people have definitely come to loot. They have no intention of attacking the prefectural or prefectural cities. However, several county towns that usually neglected to take care of their defenses have been breached. The people are even more miserable."
"There are rumors that Yedu has been conquered, but this is unlikely. Others say that the monarch seems to have never shown up."
"A group of businessmen who arrived in the afternoon said that it has stopped raining in Liudong County, although the road is still very bad."
Lin Fengjin nodded after listening to the words of these followers:
"Okay, I understand. You go and pass on my orders. Just tell them that they will act according to my plan. Take your time and enter the border separately. You must give priority to preserving your own combat power. A group of people who cannot fight in battle
It's of no use to me, so I won't rest here. You prepare some dried beef and two bags of wine for me. I'll take the road from Liudong County overnight and I'll contact the local people when I get there.
.”
These people all agreed with Lin Fengjin's decision, so soon, Lin Fengjin strode into the heavy rain wearing a big bamboo hat and oil paper cloth, because the road was muddy and slippery.
If you lead a horse, you will walk more slowly. If you step into the mud one foot after another, the horse will not be able to run, and its hoofs will rot easily.
So it would be more convenient for Lin Fengjin to just walk alone. If he used the Jie Shen Technique, it would only take him midnight to get to Liudong County. When it didn't rain there, he could hire a carriage and continue westward.
You can sleep on the road, so you can save your time to the maximum extent.
When Lin Fengjin walked twenty miles away from Liudong County, the rain stopped, but here he had already encountered a large number of refugees, who were all crowded into the Earth Temple in a village.
, and the local folk customs were fierce, so they organized strong men with sticks, knives and forks to prevent these refugees from entering the village. Some people who wanted to go in to ask for hot water were beaten with bloody heads and lay on the ground.
.
Lin Fengjin didn't have the energy to care about these things at this time, so he could only find a refugee who looked smarter and gave him a noodle cake to get the relevant news. However, what the refugee said was also very vague and general.
He didn't even see the soldiers and horses coming from the opposite side. He just listened to the villagers nearby fleeing in fear. He was just drifting with the flow.
So Lin Fengjin's noodles could only get one more useful message, that is, don't hire a carriage to go west, otherwise, the refugees will also be victims of the disaster. These people have lost too many things, so they have become helpless.
Frightened, what they saw in their hungry green eyes was not a horse, but a
A bowl of broth that could warm the body and fill the belly, and the cart he saw was made of good firewood ------- and Lin Fengjin didn't think he had any way to convince them, because even the huge dynasties of the past dynasties, in the end,
They often collapse in the hands of these disaster victims and refugees, let alone a mere carriage?
What can Lin Fengjin do on his own in the face of tens of millions of victims? He can only run away with his head in his arms. He cannot go to the end of the world to kill people just for a carriage.
There is always a bottom line, so Lin Fengjin could only change his plan. Since there was no way to sleep in the hired carriage, he could only find a bed and have a good sleep.
Fortunately, there is a village here, and the villagers did not lose control. The fact that they did not lose control means that the gold and silver carried by Lin Fengjin can be put to use.
So after a while, Lin Fengjin comfortably scalded his feet with hot water, closed his eyes and leaned on the mattress. Although the mattress was old, it had just been washed and exuded the fresh scent of soap locust that had been dried by the sun.
, so he quickly fell asleep and snored very obscenely. Listening to the snoring, you knew that he was sleeping very soundly.
And above the woodshed where Lin Fengjin stayed, a very ordinary-looking red dragonfly stopped and stared silently at the surrounding darkness. (To be continued.)
