"My second brother seems to be a lot happier recently." Tu Shang was very pleased.
The old thief said: "When yin and yang work together, you will naturally be happy. However, whenever you gain something, you will inevitably lose something."
"Eh!"
Jiang He'er said in surprise: "Old thief, how can you say such philosophical words?"
The old thief stroked his beard, "I almost went to take the imperial examination."
"Really?" Jiang He'er stared at her almond-shaped eyes, "Then why did you become a tomb robber again?"
"First of all, I want to correct you. That is not tomb robbing, but a visit!"
The old thief looked serious.
"Visit?" Jiang He'er has never seen anyone describe tomb robbing in such a fresh and refined manner.
"Yes! Think about it, He'er, if people died and lay underground for hundreds or thousands of years, how lonely would it be?" asked the old thief.
"Hmm! I feel lonely just thinking about it." After Jiang Heer stepped in, he couldn't help but shudder, "It's dark and numb.
"Look, you are scared too. Now you need me to come forward. First find a place, dig a hole, find the location of the tomb, then dig a big hole, and let people go down slowly."
The old thief looked confident and fascinated, "When I saw the coffin, it was my happiest moment. I opened the lid of the coffin, saluted the noble man, and looked at the rotten bones. I couldn't help but think about their glory in life."
"What about money?" Jiang He'er said, "Aren't you just here for money?"
"No, no!" the old thief said seriously: "This is a career!"
At this moment, the old thief looked holy.
Jiang He'er couldn't help being shocked, "So, can tomb robbing be so noble?"
"No, it's not noble, but everyone gets what they need."
The old thief said sincerely: "You have been lying underground for hundreds of years, and your children and grandchildren have long been gone, and you have become an ownerless grave. Suddenly someone comes to talk to you and burn a few sticks of incense for you to eat. You say,
Should we let that person take away some of the money for burial?"
Jiang He'er nodded, "That money can't be eaten or used, so it should be!"
"Look, there is another person in the world who understands me."
The old thief successfully completed a deception.
Analysis by Han Jizai and He Lianrong.
"It stands to reason that Tanzhou has been defeated. Lin Jun is not the type to wait and defend. It's time to attack!"
Han Ji never understood Lin Jun's actions.
He Lianrong frowned, "I think we should be cautious about this matter. It's best to find out the information."
"The interception on the Taizhou side is fierce, and the scouts can't get past it.
Difficult!" Han Ji knew that the scouts in the army had suffered heavy losses recently.
The scouts are back.
"My lord, all city gates in Chenzhou are closed."
"This is wrong!" Yang Xuan said categorically: "It is not Lin Jun's temperament to be beaten passively, and he has no backup, so he sticks to a dead end. Send an order, and the army will cross Chenzhou and rush to Taizhou quickly!"
This is an adventure. If there is a large army stationed in Chenzhou, they can attack the Northern Xinjiang Army at any time.
Wang Laoer has already started to act wild.
He rode his horse past the edges of the cities and roared at the city walls.
"Come and hit me!"
But the city was dead silent.
No one took the initiative.
Lin Jun's order was: defend and wait for reinforcements from Taizhou.
Jiangzhou.
He Liantong is under Cao Jian's command.
"Tanzhou should be gone, but judging from the strength of Lin Thief's troops, he is holding the main force and Rui in Taizhou, waiting for Yang Xuan to attack all the way and become the last of the powerful crossbows before the decisive battle."
This is Heliantong's judgment of the current situation, and it is also the most convincing of all speculations.
The general beside him said: "Your Majesty, how about we attack from a flank?"
He Liantong shook his head, "In a pincer attack, after defeating Lin Jun, we will face the Northern Xinjiang Army with little loss. Remember, the enemy of the enemy is a friend. Even the Lin thieves are the same."
At this moment, Lin Jun is Daliao's friend.
The clan general was very sober.
But there are always not many people who are awake.
"Your Majesty, why don't you go into the forest to suppress the bandits?"
A young general said angrily.
Someone introduced, "Your Majesty, this is."
"I have met the boy from Wang Chen's family."
Heliantong said: "I peed on my shoes back then, come on!"
"Your Majesty!" Several sergeants stepped forward.
Heliantong pointed at the young general and said, "Ten sticks!"
The young general roared, "How dare you?"
He Liantong is a two-character king, a young general who was born in Prince Chen's palace.
King Chen, one-character king, is the direct descendant of Zheng'er Ba Jing.
The two-character king is a bit off.
That's why young people have the courage to roar.
But obviously he made a wrong calculation.
"Just in time, I said it's time to cheer up the generals, and I'd like to find a general with some background to knock on."
He Liantong smiled, but everyone felt cold in their hearts.
King Chen's grandson will beat him whenever he wants. This great king really has no hesitation!
What a bold move!
A sergeant went up to the high platform and said, "Your Majesty, a messenger has come from Taizhou, saying that he has been ordered to report something urgent."
"oh!"
Heliantong glanced at it. Under the high platform, an official was circling anxiously.
It's an emergency!
Or is it just a pretense?
"Let him come!"
He Liantong nodded, and the envoy was brought up. After saluting, he said: "The envoy led the army to Ningxing."
Heliantong's expression remained unchanged, "Really?"
"Before leaving, the envoy said that no matter whether he succeeded or failed this time, he would not regret it.
But Taizhou and Chenzhou cannot fall into the hands of Northern Xinjiang. Therefore, I ordered my subordinates to come to Jiangzhou two days after he left and ask the king to take over the two states."
"He went to Ningxing? Why didn't I know?" He Liantong's eyes moved.
The generals looked calm.
He had only taken over Jiangzhou for a short period of time and had been coordinating and rectifying, so he could only focus on the general direction, and the details had to wait for the next step to work out.
If this is true, someone opened the door and allowed Lin Jun to go north.
Going to Ningxing, isn't this a surprise attack?
Lin Ya wants to rebel?
But it is more likely that Lin Jun pretended to be suspicious and lured him into a trap.
However, this news should be taken seriously.
"Have someone rush to Ningxing to report it, just be careful!"
In fact, everyone knows that if this matter is true, Ning Xing will have the result at this moment.
But as a minister, He Liantong had to make a futile effort.
The envoy was a little anxious, "Your Majesty, Yang Xuan's army is overwhelming. Tanzhou cannot hold back for long. If Your Majesty is late in sending troops, Chenzhou will not be protected!"
"But how do I know this is true?"
He Liantong is a veteran. Over the years, he has opened a fish pond at home. He wears a raincoat and a bamboo hat every day, except for the slight wind and drizzle. Over the years, his temperament has become particularly stable.
His first priority is to protect Ningxing, not to expand territory, and he understands this very clearly.
The messenger knelt down and said, "I swear here, if this matter is false, I will die without a burial place."
"This matter." The oath is like a toothache curse to old ghosts like He Liantong. "Someone, send a ranger to investigate."
"King!"
The envoy stood up and said, "Envoy Junlin said before leaving that if Chenzhou is kept in its hands, Daliao will retain the means to attack the hinterland of Northern Xinjiang. If Chenzhou is lost, Northern Xinjiang will expand outward in a large circle without any loopholes.
ah!"
"Take him down!"
He Liantong knew what the messenger said.
"I know it well, but at this moment in Daliao, I don't have the capital to take risks."
If he was tricked by Lin Jun and the Northern Xinjiang Army moved north again, Ningxing's little emperor and eldest princess would have to consider moving the capital.
Therefore, he dare not move!
Don’t dare to act rashly!
"Keep practicing!"
He Liantong said in a deep voice.
The flag waved and the armies changed their formations. It looked much better than last time.
Heliantong turned around and looked in the direction of Ningxing, and said quietly: "At a time when there are many external troubles, but there are constant internal worries, this is the Liao! How can I let me take care of it!"
He whispered: "Check the generals who were on night patrol in the past few days."
Wang Laoer took five thousand riders and had fun all the way.
After passing Chenzhou, he felt a little puzzled.
"How come no one stopped me all the way?"
The thin elder said: "Second brother, maybe you are afraid!"
The fat elder shook his head, "No matter how scared you are, you have to intercept them, otherwise Lin Jun won't be able to spare them."
Wang Laoer scratched his head, "Lin Jun must have drunk too much!"
The thin elder laughed and said: "The Duke's army is pressing down on the territory, and Jiangzhou is watching with eager eyes. There is nothing he can do!"
Wang Laoer shook his head, "I always feel something is wrong."
"Second brother, you are tired." The fat elder yawned, "If you are tired, you will be flustered."
"Do you think my wife is cheating on you?" the thin elder said with a sneer.
"I'll slap you!"
The two elders were fighting. This was the atmosphere needed for a long-distance journey. Being more lively would reduce fatigue.
"wrong!"
Wang Laoer shook his head, "Yun Shang said that sometimes I have a dog's nose, which is more accurate than a woman's feelings."
The two elders stopped fighting, and the thin elder asked: "What does second brother mean?"
"The Duke told a story. There was a dynasty thousands of years ago. The dynasty was bullied by foreigners. The emperor was not angry, so he ordered a young general to lead his army out of the fortress. The young general changed his old tactics, traveled thousands of miles, and raided the enemy's lair.
A great victory.”
Wang Laoer looked at the two of them and said, "What kind of championship title does that man have? Champion, sounds good, I want it too."
The two elders looked at each other, and the fat elder said: "Second brother, do you want to attack Lin Jun's lair?"
"No?" Wang Laoer asked.
"But we only have five thousand troops, and we are alone!" The thin elder thought that Wang Laoer was joking, "Second brother, let's eat!"
Get a pot of boiling water over there, throw the dry biscuits in, and put some of the second brother's favorite dried meat, and let's get started.
Wang Laoer shook his head, "My feeling is correct!"
After setting off from Lin Jun in Taizhou, the scouts frequently attacked to intercept the sentinels from Jiangzhou and Northern Xinjiang.
"I haven't seen you for several days, and tens of thousands of cavalry are missing. The city is empty, and I don't know where they have gone!"
Dozens of scouts wandered lazily in the wilderness, preparing to go back.
"Maybe, let's go practice!"
"It's been a few days, it's time to get back to practice."
"Is it a sneak attack on Northern Xinjiang?"
"It's hard to say, but if it can happen, it would be a good thing."
"Yes! Yang Gou is becoming more and more aggressive. Scouts often come across Chenzhou to scout. Those northern Xinjiang scouts are so arrogant that they dare to attack many even with a small number, which makes people mad."
"Let's go, go back!"
The scouts sped up and prepared to return to the city.
Ta-ta-ta!
The sound of horse hooves came very intensively.
One of the scouts turned around and said, "The envoy is back!"
Thousands of cavalry appeared in the rear, and then outflanking cavalry appeared on both wings.
This is the standard Yang Xuan strategy!
"It's the Northern Xinjiang Army!"
The scouts were so distraught that they galloped away on horseback.
But it’s too late!
A big flag appeared from the front.
"It's Mr. Wang!"
The scouts had pale faces.
"Dismount and abandon the sword without killing!"
Wang Laoer took thousands of horses and swept away.
"I'm going to raid Taizhou!" Wang Laoer said fiercely.
"General, we've caught someone."
A general was brought into the lobby.
He Liantong sat at the top and watched the general being dragged in.
"explain!"
The general's face turned pale, "Three days ago, Lin Jun led his army to sneak past and headed for Ningxing."
"Who are you from?" Yes
people asked.
The general lowered his head and said, "Lin Ya!"
"General!"
Everyone looked at He Liantong.
Lin Jun leads an army to raid Ningxing, who wins and who loses?
As a result, it’s time to come in these two days.
It’s waiting!
Still attack!
Waiting for the results of Ning Xing, if Lin Ya's rebellion succeeds, Jiangzhou's position will be embarrassing. I don't know whether to return to attack or continue to block the Northern Xinjiang army.
A pair of twinkling eyes looked at He Liantong.
He Liantong took a deep breath, "The overall situation is the most important thing. Send troops to Taizhou quickly. We must capture Chenzhou before Yang Xuan! Keep the hope of Daliao's counterattack!"
