The father is gone, and the eldest brother has no backer at the border. Instead, he will be suppressed by the military. This is completely foreseeable. Therefore, in the early stage, even if Lin Su and Lin Jialiang had time, they did not take the time to go to the border because they
If you go, it will be in vain. If you don't become a great scholar, you are just an ant. If you go, it won't solve anything. It will only serve as a reminder to Zhang Wenyuan, an old bastard, to kill his big brother as soon as possible.
It's different now.
Both of them are great scholars, both have the ability to change the battlefield, and have the qualifications to talk head-on with border commanders. The eldest brother's predicament will change because of them.
"Third brother, what are you going to do?"
Lin Jialiang has a good habit of asking Lin Su about any major issues.
Lin Su shook his head. We know nothing about the border at the moment. We must understand everything clearly before making a decision.
He built information points in the capital and Huichang and left information personnel behind. But the military, he really didn't get in. There has always been a barrier between the military and the local area. For example, the defenders stationed on Leigong Island that day were outside Haining.
Stationed for dozens of miles, there are still a large number of people in Haining who are completely unaware of the existence of this army.
Let’s talk about the southern border crossing, which is more than 2,000 miles away from Haining.
The eldest brother does not know how to pass letters. Every time he writes a letter home, he has to go through the Military Post. The person in charge of the Military Post is a direct descendant of Zhang Wenyuan. How could Lin Zheng say anything private through him? So every time he sends a letter
, they are all the most common, formal and uninformative things.
Even this kind of letter that could be posted on the street had very obvious signs of being opened when it was delivered to the Lin family, indicating that these letters had been opened by someone, and the person who opened it was quite arrogant and directly destroyed the paint.
When I re-sealed it after reading it, it was quite sloppy.
They don't care what the Lin family thinks.
It can even be said that they pointed at the Lin family's nose and told the Lin family that I am watching everyone in your family, so please calm down.
Based on this, after Lin Su and Lin Jialiang's palace examination, they received such exciting news that they won the first place and the Jinshi. Lin Su and Lin Jialiang did not send a letter to Lin Zheng. They were worried that Lin Zheng would get excited and stimulate Zhang Wenyuan at the last moment.
Kill Lin Zheng.
Lin Jialiang sighed: "Third brother, I have learned something. Ding E, the commander of the southern border pass, is a rough man, brutal and brutal, with a sneaky martial arts training, and he is not very fancy, but Liu Dan, the commander of the border pass, is
Zhang Wenyuan's confidant, Ding E, is no match for a rough guy like Liu Dan, who is wily and scheming. Currently, all border affairs, big and small, are in Liu Dan's hands. If my eldest brother is in danger, he will be the biggest promoter."
In the Da Cang military system, the commander-in-chief is a military official, and the supervisor is a military civilian. In external operations, military generals are the main force, and in internal affairs management, the supervisor is mainly responsible for the military. All major matters are reported to the military headquarters by the supervisor.
It is said that the commander-in-chief comes first, but the great power values civility over military affairs, and generals generally have a low status and have no say at all. Therefore, the vast majority of the army is actually controlled by the supervisory army.
The same is true for the Southern Border Army where Lin Zheng served.
"The eldest brother's current position is to be a senior general?"
"Yes! When my father was the head coach of the Southern Territory, my eldest brother was the seventh general in the army. His actual power was third after his father and the supervisor. Today, he is still the seventh general. As for his actual status, I am afraid that even
Even the lesser generals are inferior."
A general is basically equivalent to the leader of a certain route army in the military region. The leader of the Tenth Army in the South has the power to discuss military accounts. However, in the previous letters home, the eldest brother never mentioned major military matters, only the war abroad.
The Seventh Route Army has basically been regarded as the vanguard of the Southern Border Army.
Charge into battle?
This is the duty of a soldier!
However, this is not a reasonable way to eradicate dissidents!
Lin Su's eyes flashed. How many battles did the Seventh Route Army go through in a whole year? How many times did his elder brother survive death? Where is he now? Is it too late to go today?
Lin Jialiang caught his eyes: "Third brother, the military is not like a government office. Violating military regulations and dealing with them on the spot are national laws! After all, we are not soldiers. We don't understand the tricks of the military. We must not be impulsive and fall into this trap.
The abyss of eternal destruction.”
Lin Su smiled faintly: "It's not that I don't understand military matters. Maybe I just take this opportunity to perfect the art of war."
Lin Jialiang was shocked, do you still know the art of war?
You have never participated in a battle. At most, you have listened to some stories from your father and elder brother. I was also there when they talked about it. I also heard what you heard. My father himself said that he only has a superficial understanding of the art of war.
Where can you learn the art of war?
Lin Su's consciousness sank into Wenshan.
On top of Wenshan Mountain, there are nine cliffs.
One side is poetry, the other side is Ci, the other side is art of war...
At present, the military tactics recorded above are empty. There are four big characters at the top: "Thirty-Six Strategies".
The next article on the art of war is "Killing with a Borrowed Knife".
This piece of art of war was recited by him to save his life that day when he faced Wudao Dragon Lord in Wudaoyuan. From then on, it was engraved on his literary mountain and became his own thing.
It’s not that simple to engrave the art of war on Wenshan. It doesn’t mean that you wrote the full text of Thirty-Six Strategies. All the art of war is engraved on this cliff. It’s impossible!
You need to perform.
How to interpret it? Completely understand the essence of the art of war, use this art of war to really accomplish something, and use actual actions to prove the feasibility of this art of war.
Lin Su lives in a modern society with highly developed information. He has countless classic cases in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, in his mind. He has fully understood most of the thirty-six strategies. Therefore, deduction becomes the final step in shaping the military strategy.
He used "Killing with a Borrowed Sword" to kill Gao Shen sent by the Dragon Lord of the West Sea with the help of the Wudao Dragon Lord. The sage thought that he had achieved the practicality of the art of war, so he engraved this art of war on his Wenshan.
Some people may say, is there any difference between the art of war being engraved in Wenshan and the art of war being memorized in the mind?
There is really no difference in ordinary places.
But in this world, the difference is huge...
Why?
The art of war engraved in Wenshan is not only a military art, but also a magical skill!
This skill will unleash unimaginable combat effectiveness on the battlefield.
Let’s talk about it in detail later.
The two brothers flew across the mountains, across the plains, across the Yangtze River, and across the water towns...
A day and a night also passed by.
Early the next morning, they broke through the clouds and fog, and landed under a city in the south. Here, there was no one in sight, and here, murderous intent was boiling. This was the southern border city where humans and demons had fought bloody battles for hundreds of years: Bloody Rain Pass.
The hero is here, blood is spilled at the border!
From Haining to Xueyuguan, it was a total of 2,300 miles, crossing the nine states in the south. If they were not Jinshi, the trip would have taken at least a month, but they were Confucian scholars, and the journey of thousands of miles only took one day and one night.
Although it only took a day and a night, Lin Jialiang was still in a panic when he fell from the sky. His literary energy had been exhausted. Fortunately, Lin Su helped him in the second half and took him flying. Otherwise, he would not be able to stand even after landing.
stable.
As for Lin Su, his strength was shown. After flying for more than two thousand miles, he still had enough energy to spare. Moreover, as soon as he landed, the energy he consumed was quickly replenished, and the speed of replenishment was ten times faster than that of others.
This is his rejuvenation seedling at work.
The two of them walked towards the male pass in front of them. There was a military formation on the male pass and no one was allowed to fly over it. Anyone who came here could only walk into the city and undergo inspection.
As the two brothers approached the city gate, the cold gazes of the defenders at the city gate were firmly locked. Although they were silent, they had lived in the iron-blooded city for a long time, and their eyes also had murderous intent...
Who?
Lin Su looked at them and smiled, and with a slight shake of his hand, an official robe appeared in his palm. It was green, with an oriole on it, and five gold edges. The city guard was shocked at the same time.
A fifth-grade civil servant? This is almost as rare as a giant panda in the border town. Who would come to this place of life and death for an ordinary fifth-grade civil servant? Except for the supervisory army, the supervisory army is only fifth-grade!
Lin Jialiang also shook his hand, and he was in seventh-grade official uniform!
The two of them changed into formal official uniforms under the eyes of the sergeant, and then strode towards the city gate.
Several sergeants stood up straight at the same time: "Two adults, may I ask... may I ask what business you have come to Xueyuguan for?"
Lin Su raised his hand gently and held an official seal in his palm: "I, Lin Su, are the supervisory envoy of the capital and have come to Xueyuguan to perform official duties!"
As soon as the official seal was issued, a golden long sword was suspended in the air, and the words "Supervision Order" were horizontally placed in the air. This cannot be faked, and it is a token that can be used throughout the world.
The sergeants stood at attention at the same time and gave a military salute: "Welcome to the Inspector General!"
"Sir, please come in! I will inform the commander-in-chief to come out to greet you..."
Three sergeants led the Lin brothers into the city, and one sergeant ran towards the headquarters of the main city.
Lin Su looked around and couldn't help but sigh softly. The city was huge and there were many people. There were military and civilians, businesses and shops. It looked prosperous and peaceful, but there were bloodstains on the streets and scars on the faces of the residents.
, as well as the deathly aura in their eyes, all show the vicissitudes of this Blood Rain Pass.
The distant southern city wall was extremely tall. On top of the city wall, stood a long row of soldiers. When Lin Su came over, they did not look back. Their duty was to defend the demons on the opposite side.
In the city, there are also vegetable fields, fields, and farmers working the land, all with sallow complexions and thin skin.
A row of soldiers came over. They were also sallow and thin. Lin Su's eyes fell on a few soldiers. The armor they wore had scratches on them. The clothes inside the armor were in tatters. The shoulder of a young soldier connected to the armor was suppurated.
.
Lin Su suddenly stretched out his hand to stop the row of soldiers: "Wait a moment!"
The row of soldiers suddenly stood still like a row of nails. Everyone looked at Lin Su.
"You!" Lin Su pointed at the little warrior: "Why don't you wear underwear under your armor?"
Armor protects people, but if there is no underwear inside, the armor is directly connected to the human body, and no one can bear the friction alone.
The little warrior stood up straight: "Sir, this is just a patrol in the city, not a battlefield to kill the enemy. Underwear is precious and I don't dare to wear it."
Are lingerie precious?
Lin Su's face turned pale: "You!" He pointed at another person.
That person stands up.
"Where did you leave your hand?"
"Last year in the cold winter, I suffered from frostbite and necrosis!"
Lin Su's eyes were firmly fixed, and he was suffering from ice injuries and necrosis!
Although Da Cang values culture over military affairs, there have not been many border wars in recent years, and military supplies have never been deducted from soldiers in the southern border. Four sets of underwear are provided every year, thick cotton-padded clothes in winter, and military rations are all provided. It can be said that soldiers are provided
, except for the lack of military pay and the dangers of war, life is pretty good.
But when he stepped into the Blood Rain Pass, what did he see?
The soldiers were sallow and skinny, without underwear, and even had frostbite and amputations in winter. This is the southern border, and the southern border is not too cold. Unless you only wear single clothes in winter, you should never suffer from frostbite or even disability.
The soldiers left, and Lin Jialiang watched them go away, full of respect.
In the eyes of other officials, soldiers are despicable, but Lin Jialiang is definitely not among them. His eldest brother is also a member of the soldiers. The Lin family, a general for two hundred years, has lived such a life.
He did not interpret what Lin Su saw.
Lin Su didn't make it clear either.
At the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion, the sergeant arrived before him and breathlessly reported to the Commander-in-Chief: The Capital Supervisor suddenly arrived and has entered the city!
Capital Inspector?
Commander Ding E and supervisor Liu Dan looked at each other, feeling strange.
Monitor? Monitor what?
It is customary for supervisory envoys to supervise local areas and they go through the motions every year, but it is extremely rare for them to supervise the army. Unless there is a major incident in the army, such as a rebellion of the entire army, otherwise supervisory envoys will not set foot in the military camp. They
At most, it's just a show of checking the accounts with the Ministry of War.
Therefore, in theory, the inspectorate can monitor the military, but in practice, there is almost no such thing.
Liu Dan said in a deep voice: "Who is the supervisor?"
"Lin Su!"
Ding E and Liu Dan were suddenly startled.
Lin Su? The new champion? The Zhang family’s archenemy? Suddenly came to the military camp to conduct inspections. Did he want to cause trouble for Mr. Zhang at the grassroots level?
It must be! At least Ding E thinks so.
But Liu Dan slowly shook his head: "He is here for his brother!"
Ding E opened his eyes wide: "What should we do? Lin Zheng and we are..."
Liu Dan raised his hand: "As a soldier, it is Lin Zheng's duty to be sent out to perform tasks. What can he say? Can he still use this as an excuse to fight against military law? I look forward to him fighting against military law!"
The guard's cry came from outside: "Master Lin, the supervisory envoy, has arrived!"
Ding E and Liu Dan strode out of the commander-in-chief's mansion and greeted Lin Su outside the gate.
Lin Su raised his eyes and saw Ding E, the commander-in-chief of the powerful border gate. Ding E was at least 1.9 meters tall and five feet tall. He was majestic and like a tiger, with a beard growing sideways on his face. He looked extremely ferocious.
When he arrived at Lin Su, he just made fists with his hands and didn't bow at the waist: "Master Lin came to the military camp. He is a rare visitor, but he doesn't know why he came?"
He was not asked to join the government at all, and at least Lin Jialiang completely ignored it.
He is a third-grade military general, so if he does this, no one can fault him.
Lin Su bowed to the high-ranking Shangguan in accordance with the official rules: "I am ordered to monitor the world, so naturally I have official duties when I join the military camp..."
"But I don't know what official business it is?" A voice came from the side.
Lin Su slowly raised his head and saw Liu Dan's half-smiling face.
"This officer received a report that someone at the southern border embezzled military supplies and falsely reported the number of people to claim military pay."
Embezzling military supplies and falsely receiving military pay.
As soon as the eight words came out, Ding E's heart skipped a beat...
But Liu Dan remained calm: "But I don't know who reported it?"
"It doesn't matter who the whistleblower is. What matters is whether there is any violation of law or discipline in your southern border." This chapter has been completed!
