"Zhao Zhong."
Chen Jin looked at the person who smiled quietly at him and said his name, nodded and walked past her with people. There were countless soldiers printed under the bonfire, some of them and some of him.
They celebrated loudly, talked and laughed loudly, and everyone's faces, voices, and eyes revealed the joy of victory and the joy of escaping death.
Yes, they are lucky. Without the desperate struggle and sacrifice of their companions, they would not be alive and still with hope.
But Chen Jin knew exactly how much they paid in this battle, how heavy the casualties, and the uncountable losses of the innocent people who lost their lives in the war.
Because a war consumes not only the population of a country, but also human, material and financial resources. The soldiers and soldiers who have won these invisible losses will not be counted, and the imperial court will probably not. War-torn lands will never come back to life in thirty or fifty years.
Houses, roads, bridges and crops were all destroyed and destroyed in the war. How many people still farm and do business after a war? How many families have children who have lost their fathers, mothers who have lost their sons, and wives who have become widows, and what should they do if they have lost their most important people? How to continue to survive
Chen Jin couldn't tell anyone about his worries, should he write to the court? But his papers must be uploaded from the local yamen level by level, until the Ministry of War, and after several turns, they can be placed in front of the emperor's imperial case.
In name, he is the general Pingxi of the imperial court, but in fact, in the eyes of the civil servants, he is a vulgar warrior. How can those civil servants who control the government take seriously
Maybe he will be framed by others for ulterior motives and plots, and Chen Jin is already old. After so many years of fighting for the beam, Chen Jin's spine has long been bent, and he deeply feels that his life is growing with his age. A little bit passed, maybe one day he would suddenly fall down.
But he still doesn't want to die. If he is dead, who has the ability to lead the soldiers of Daliang to continue guarding this devastated land in the northwest of Daliang? Who will protect the suffering people of this land
his son
Oh, this is impossible.
Although Chen Jing was called a major general by his soldiers, he knew how much his son weighed. Although he had been by his side when he was young, he was in the war to recapture Li Cheng a month ago. Even though he and the third prince were given a total of 50,000 marks, he still suffered.
50,000 vs. 5,000, the Huns lost almost nothing, but they lost thousands!
So Chen Jing can't do it. If he dies, he can only become a general at most. Maybe he also has the hope of becoming the commander of the first army, but he can't wait any longer, he has no time.
As for Situ Yuanxiao and Chen Jin, who wants to kill the enemy to protect Daliang's territory for the sake of Daliang's battlefield, and is interested in governing the army, it is even more impossible to count on him, for no reason, because he will eventually become a vassal king!
And sooner or later, the king's army will cause chaos in the world!
The royal family would not allow it, and Chen Jin himself would not be able to cultivate a prince into his heir. He would never allow anyone to destroy the hard work he had guarded for many years.
Therefore, Chen Jin put his eyes on his own, but what made him helpless was that under the court's conservative and retreating policy towards the outside world, the fierceness of the soldiers of the Liang Dynasty had long been exhausted.
The Huns were too brave, and the soldiers of the Liang Dynasty always lost more and won less when they fought against them. The information of defeat was sent to the imperial court again and again. The land in Daliang was dashed in panic and malicious intent, frightening the civil and military officials of the court and the opposition, and also frightening the emperor of Daliang.
Therefore, the court's policy to deal with the harassment of the Xiongnu will always have only one order, keep it, and keep it at all costs!
Because only by guarding can make them feel at ease, can make them feel at ease, and only by guarding can they never have to suffer the threat of death, guarding their own glory and wealth, they can be powerful, beautiful like clouds, high beds and soft pillows, and singing every night!
Who cares about the monstrous floods in the northwest behind!
But fighting requires blood, and a keeper killed the blood of all the northwestern frontier troops against the Xiongnu, making them weak and shrinking. When facing the enemy's sword, they can only fight with fear, making it easier for the enemy to fight against the Xiongnu. cut off their heads.
How can such a soldier who only knows how to defend and not know how to attack can win a battle
Therefore, the frontier army in the northwest is getting weaker every year, and even needs to use ten times the number of enemies to defeat the enemy, and the young generals in the army are also weaker and weaker from generation to generation, and they are almost useless.
Now Chen Jin's subordinates have only one Sun Wu who can be called an excellent person to lead troops in battle. This man is brave and has some ability to lead troops in battle, but it is a pity that Chen Jin sees that this man has a bad mind and is too obsessed with fame and fortune. Violently, if the Northwest 100,000 standing army is really handed over to him, the world will be turned upside down by him sooner or later.
So Chen Jin is anxious, he can't be the commander of the Northwest Army forever, nor can he always guard this land in the northwest for Daliang, so he must find someone who can replace him and support him and Daliang Northwest this day.
And today's boy is very interesting. He was able to point out the rot that was hidden by the gorgeous coat of victory in a few words at a young age. He didn't look at his talent, but this vision alone surpassed everyone. ,Maybe…
Chen Jin silently raised his head and glanced at the dark sky at night in the northwest. Hearing the cold and hot wind whistling past his ears, he continued to walk forward at a steady pace.
The generals behind him looked at the commander's suddenly exhausted figure and looked at each other, and then followed. Only Sun Wu had a gleam in his eyes after everyone followed, and finally followed.
On the third day after the celebration feast, Zhao Zimu's brows suddenly began to twitch, and a deep unease filled his heart, and this uneasiness came from Lin Qing.
Lin Qing had been staying in Licheng, and the news of their victory was passed back on the same day. According to the time, they would definitely be able to come over tonight after receiving the news.
Because Lin Qing, as the supervisor, will definitely pay close attention to the war between Daliang and the imperial court, and Lin Qing will definitely confirm the victory of the war, so he will definitely rush to Shacheng after receiving the good news, not to mention that she is here. There is no reason for him to have no news so far.
It didn't take long for Zhao Zimu's uneasiness to be confirmed. The news that Lin Qing was suddenly intercepted by the Xiongnu on his way to Shacheng and forced out of Daliang came back. The whole camp was shocked, and all the soldiers in the northwest were in an uproar.
It turned out that after hearing the news of the victory, Lin Qing rushed to Shacheng in order to get to Shacheng as soon as possible. They arrived, but unexpectedly, when it was getting dark the next day, a group of Huns suddenly appeared and attacked them from behind, and the number was huge. No one could rescue them even if they called for help.
Therefore, they could only retreat further and further, until they were forced out of the border and into the prairie, which was the world of the Huns.
Everyone was in disbelief after learning the news. There was a worried expression on their faces, but there was no trace of panic on their faces. Lin Qing urgently summoned the generals to discuss how to rescue Lin Qing, but he never came up with a charter.
Lin Qing has already entered the prairie and no one knows his whereabouts, nor whether he has been captured by the Huns, let alone whether he is dead or alive, how to save him
What's more, the fighting power of Daliang is not comparable to that of the Xiongnu. If he really threw himself into the prairie, in the words of the Huns, the lamb was thrown into the arms of the wolf, waiting to be eaten.
However, when the discussions were fruitless, Chen Jin still dispatched several troops and horses to search and rescue Lin Qing near the border of Daliang, because Lin Qing represented the imperial court. The court explained.
So they can only save Lin Qing, but they don't know if they can.
Although some soldiers may not know Lin Qing, it is impossible for some senior generals not to know about such a person. This person is evil, insidious and cunning, and sometimes deducts their military salaries for no reason. I am afraid that no generals look forward to Lin Qing.
Therefore, although they dare not make some thoughts public, that doesn't mean they can't do it secretly.
Chen Jin silently paid attention to the reactions of the soldiers under his command.
Chen Jin, who is accustomed to fighting against the Huns with his own knife edge, also intends to see the will of God this time...
And when Yue Shi brought a few people to kneel in front of Zhao Zimu with scars, Zhao Zimu's face immediately condensed into ice, and his eyes stared at him like a pair of dark ice pools without saying a word. .
It wasn't until Yue Shi wanted to apologize for her death that Zhao Zimu withdrew her gaze, but her eyes were still frighteningly cold like ice blades.
He closed his eyes to calm himself down for a while, and then suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Call all the remaining troops of the Imperial City Imperial Army."
Yue Shi immediately took the order and left with a wound all over his body. The soldiers and horses of the Imperial City Imperial Army of the Third Emperor were summoned by Yue Yi as soon as they arrived, and they already knew what happened yesterday, but they didn't know how to deal with it. .
Zhao Zimu stood in front of these people who knew her and knew that she was Lin Qing and wanted to see what she had to say.
And although these thousands of Imperial City Imperial Army are under the command of Lin Qing, it is very difficult for anyone other than Lin Qing to buy them, even if the person in front of him is Lin Qing's number one eagle dog.
Zhao Zimu looked at them calmly, her eyes swept over the body of each Imperial City Imperial Army, and when her eyes swept over Zhang Xin, she stopped for a while before taking it away, but Zhang Xin felt his forehead. Layers of cold sweat.
After Zhao Zimu's eyes swept over everyone, he slowly opened his mouth.
"I know what you are thinking about, and I know you are unwilling to save Lin Qing, but I can tell you clearly that if Lin Qing is dead, all the soldiers in the northwest will not be blamed, but you can't, if he If you die, you all have to die!"
