After spending seven days and seven nights together, Ding Mujie could finally be sure that Lin Dan really didn't like him. She has a free and easy manner, a magnanimous expression, and is very knowledgeable. It is a very pleasant thing to chat with her. Of course, her temperament is always a bit withdrawn. If you want to lead her to talk, you must find a topic she is interested in. If you poke at her itch, then you will be very lucky to know what it means to be quoted and read every word.
The more Ding Mujie got along with her, the more attracted to her, and when he thought of his previous life, he felt ashamed to death. How big of a face does he have to think that such a good woman would love him so much that he could not extricate himself from it, and even marry him and resort to such sleazy means? If it weren't for the situation, she should have had a better destination. It was Lin Wan who harmed her, and it was herself who harmed her.
Many times, Ding Mujie didn't dare to look into Lin Dan's eyes, because they were too clear and bright, like a mirror reflecting his ugly heart. But more often, he couldn't help looking at Lin Dan's eyes, because they were too deep and dark, like a night sky, containing countless secrets.
To Ding Mujie, seven days were very short, and seemed to pass in the blink of an eye, but to Lin Dan, it was as long as seven years. Seeing the West Expedition Army Camp nearby, she couldn't help but sighed in relief and galloped over on her horse.
"The military camp is important, and the idle people are not allowed to enter!" The soldiers guarding the camp raised their spears and looked alert.
"I'm Lin Dan, the eldest daughter of General Lin, this is my token." Lin Dan untied the token tied around his waist and threw it away.
The soldier took the token and looked at it carefully, and found that it was actually real, and hurried to the barracks to find someone. After a while, a handsome young general in silver armor hurried out and said impatiently, "Sister, why did you come to the border gate? It's a nonsense!"
"Lin Qing, let us go in first." Ding Mujie was afraid that the siblings would quarrel, so he quickly reminded. It is indeed a very risky thing for a woman to go to the border alone, no wonder Lin Qing's reaction is so strong.
"Brother Ding, why are you here too?" Lin Qing only found Ding Mujie, and his expression was even more surprised. However, he didn't want his sister to be watched like a monkey, so he immediately brought them into his tent and ordered someone to fetch water to wash them.
"How is father now?" Lin Danfu began to inquire about the situation as soon as he entered the account.
Lin Qing shook his head with red eyes: "I can't find any news, and I don't know if he is alive or dead now. But Mo Lu has issued a gauntlet, inviting us to fight tomorrow. I know you are worried about your father, but the battlefield is not the place for women, I This will let people prepare meals for you. After you have eaten, leave quickly. After tomorrow, I don’t know how many people will die here.”
Mo Lu was the commander-in-chief of the Xiongnu army, and Lin Tie was now in his hands.
Hearing that there was going to be a war tomorrow, Lin Dan not only refused to leave, but said decisively, "I want to stay. If I can capture Mo Lu, I think I can exchange him for my father."
How could Lin Qing not have come up with this idea? It's just that Mo Lu's martial arts are very strong, and he is known as the wolf of the grassland. How can he be so easily captured? The father and the old man have fought against him countless times, and they have only barely fought a tie.
"Sister, don't be self-willed, go back quickly! I know that capturing Mo Lu can save my father, but it's not that easy! Don't worry about these things, I'll send someone to take you back to the capital after dinner." Lin Qing stood up Said: "The West Expedition Army has lost its head coach, and the group has no leader. I have to go to the main account to hold a meeting to elect a new head coach. Brother Ding, please take care of your sister."
Ding Mujie quickly nodded in agreement, but his face was slightly red. In fact, Lin Dan didn't need his care at all, and had to take care of him in turn.
"I'll go with you." Lin Dan followed closely.
"Sister, don't make trouble," Lin Qing turned back, his tone unknowingly choked up: "What's going on with the Lin family now, don't you know? Grandfather, eldest brother, second brother, third brother, uncle, uncle , have all died in battle, the life and death of my father is unknown, and I am the only son of the Lin family. I want to protect the family and the country, I want to save my father, and I have to support the Lin family again. Do you know how heavy the burden on my shoulders is? I don't have the energy to take care of you, so please go back, okay?"
After all, he was only a sixteen-year-old boy, and he had seen the cruelty of war before he really grew up, so how could he treat him with a normal heart. It was his limit to be patient and calm Lin Dan for so long. He was trembling all over, and his eyes were bloodshot, apparently he hadn't slept for a long time.
Lin Dan was not impressed by his haggard appearance at all, he opened the curtain and walked straight out.
Lin Qing was stunned, and hurried to chase, his handsome face was distorted by his sister's willfulness.
The main tent is located in the very center of the camp and is stronger and more spacious than the rest of the tents, making it very recognizable. Lin Dan turned a few corners and walked to the camp, when he heard someone say, "Old Marshal Lin died in battle, General Lin was captured, I am the chief general of the Chinese army, and I have stayed at the border for decades. It's reasonable, I should be the head coach. As the so-called urgency to follow the power, now the war is imminent, the emperor has no time to issue an edict, let's settle the matter first, don't quarrel anymore. There is no strategy and strategy, what will we fight tomorrow?"
Another strong voice refuted: "Why are you so embarrassed to say such a thing? A few days ago, the old Marshal Lin received a secret letter, saying that Mo Lu had secretly made contact with the Yanghe tribe in the east and would attack our army from the rear. Let our army be prepared in advance. Although the source of the letter is unknown, the old marshal still made arrangements and ordered you to guard the rear line of defense to prevent our army from being passive. However, you left the rear defense without authorization in order to seize the military exploits, causing Yang He The tribe's sneak attack was successful, and our army was defeated. All of this is your responsibility, what qualifications do you have to be the head coach? If you can return to the capital alive, I will definitely read you a book in front of the father!"
"The origin of that letter is unknown. How do I know if it was sent by Xiongnu spies on purpose to distract our troops. If everything in the letter is false, the left and right armies will lose the support of the central army, and they will suffer a disastrous defeat. I know I'm guilty, so I want to be the head coach and give up the crime. Besides, who else in this barracks has more military exploits than me, more seniority than me, and stronger martial arts than me? If you can find one , I will abdicate immediately to let the virtuous!"
Old Marshal Lin and all the Lin family members died in battle. There is indeed no more powerful general in the army than this man, but those who refute him have nothing to say. There was silence in the tent.
Lin Dan stood outside the tent and listened for a while. Seeing Lin Qing chasing after him, he lowered his voice and asked, "What is the secret letter they said?"
Lin Qing showed a look of grief and anger, and said hoarsely: "Before the war, my grandfather received a secret letter saying that the Xiongnu army had colluded with the Yanghe tribe and wanted to attack our army. The Yanghe tribe is located in the rear of our army. It provides our army with supplies such as grain, war horses, purified water, salt and iron, and is considered a vassal of my Wei Kingdom. My grandfather sent scouts to the Yanghe tribe to inquire about the situation. Although no doubts were found, he still made some arrangements. The man inside It was Xue Zhao, the commander of the Central Army, who was ordered by his grandfather to stand in the east to prevent Yang and the tribe from really fighting. As a result, the Yanghe tribe succeeded in the sneak attack and our army was defeated. In order to save the defeat, I, Lin Jiaerlang, all died in battle. Instead, he became the most qualified person in the army. I just hate that I'm still young, and I don't have much battle experience, so I can't convince the crowd, otherwise I would have picked him up with a gun and competed for the coach myself."
"You don't fight, I fight." Lin Dan walked in immediately and said word by word, "General Xue, is what you just said true?"
"Who are you, and how did you get into the barracks?" The crowd was furious and hurriedly asked.
"I'm Lin Dan, Lin Tie's eldest daughter." Lin Dan looked at the middle-aged man sitting on the main seat, and repeated, "General Xue, what you just said is still true?"
"Does it count?" Xue Zhaoji wanted to tie the woman up, and then slap the fifty military sticks and drive them out. But she belonged to the Lin family after all, and she came over when almost all of the Lin family died in battle. Although the etiquette was different, she was excusable. Not only could he not drive people away, but he had to treat them nicely, so as not to chill the rest of the soldiers. heart of.
The army guarding here is clearly the army of the West Expedition, but in fact they secretly call themselves the Lin family army, which shows how high the prestige of the Lin family is in the army. If he wants to take over this army smoothly, he must treat the descendants of the Lin family kindly.
"How can you climb to such a high position?" Lin Dan asked again.
Before Xue Zhao spoke, his confidant said, "It's natural strength. Our general is strong in martial arts and unparalleled in bravery. Looking around, there is no person in the army who is more suitable to be the head coach than him."
"But he killed Old Marshal Lin!" King Zhuang gritted his teeth. He has gone from being a soldier to a deputy general of the Zuo Army. If Old Marshal Lin didn't try his best to save him this time, he wouldn't be able to come back alive.
"I admit that it is indeed my dereliction of duty, but old Marshal Lin will die in battle, isn't it because of you? There are so many generals dead in the army, and there is no leader in the army. Right now, I am the only general who can carry the battle flag. I have also dealt with it, how do you fight this battle? Who has the ability to command Wanjun? Now that you are here to crusade against me, you are putting the cart before the horse!" Xue Zhao was confident.
Lin Qing looked at Xue Zhao for a while and Zhuang Wang for a while, with hatred in his eyes. Both of them were the murderers of my grandfather, and he would not forgive any of them.
The rest of the generals were divided into two factions. One faction supported Xue Zhao, and the other was hesitant. Before the battle was fought, their momentum collapsed first, and they did not know if they could win tomorrow. The soldiers outside were more dejected than they were, and the entire camp was enveloped in a thick malaise.
Ding Mujie was born again and naturally knew the ending. The battle ended in a disastrous defeat. Except for Xue Zhao and his personal soldiers, who escaped from the battle, all the other soldiers were killed, even the emperor's favorite King Zhuang. After this battle, Great Wei's vitality was severely damaged, and he was unable to cheer up for many years. However, after Xue Zhao fled back, he was not punished. Instead, he made up some random words and blamed the defeat on the Lin family. Anyway, everyone is dead, and the truth has been buried, so why not just say it with his mouth
The emperor was benevolent and did not blame the old and weak women and children of the Lin family, but the reputation of the Lin family was completely ruined, which was probably more uncomfortable than killing them. And Xue Zhao took refuge with the crown prince, went into battle again, and became the commander-in-chief of the Royal Forest Army. A few years later, in order to attack the crown prince, the ninth prince ordered someone to find out the old case of the Lin family, which made him pay the price he deserved.
How can he be the head coach? He is really a despicable villain who climbed up on the bones of the Lin family!
