The female medical concubine of the peasant

Chapter 597 Encounter Calculation
As night fell, a team was stationed near a forest.

In the main tent of the Daying Center, Lin Chengzong was sitting at the table looking at an open map.

They have been out for a month, and according to the news sent back by the spies sent out to inquire about the whereabouts of the Xirong envoys, it will only take three to five days for the teams of the two countries to join up.

Lin Chengzong couldn't help frowning as he pointed to the approximate location of the envoy of the Xirong Kingdom.The map shows that if you go further ahead, you will enter the mountainous area.

There are many mountains and peaks here, stretching for hundreds of miles. I am afraid that it will take two days or even three days to pass here.

Maybe the two countries will meet in the valley.

Lin Chengzong was thinking about whether to send someone to find out the news again. It would be best to find out all the roads in this mountain.If the mountain road is rough and there are too many people to delay the journey, why not bring less people and bring the Xirong envoy team out first.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a report from someone outside, saying that Commander Xiao sent Xiao Fang to ask to see him.

Xiao Fang was the person sent by the Ministry of War to cooperate with Lin Chengzong to meet the envoys of Xirong. He led the five hundred officers and soldiers sent by the Ministry of War.

Lin Chengzong said that he was the leader who greeted him this time, but after all, he had no contact with the officers and soldiers of the Ministry of War, so the only ones who could really obey him were a dozen of his own soldiers brought out by himself.Although Commander Xiao is his deputy, those officers and soldiers are all his subordinates.

Fortunately, the two of them cooperated relatively harmoniously along the way, and did not make any major mistakes.

At this time, Lin Chengzong couldn't help frowning when he heard that it was Xiao Fang who asked to see him.

This Xiao Fang, on the surface, was respectful to him along the way, but several times his words revealed that he was from the prince's side and wanted to win him over to the prince's side.

Lin Chengzong's father, General Lin, always believed in being loyal to the emperor and serving the country, and he had long ago stated that he would not allow the heirs of the Lin family to stand in line with the prince.So the Lin family has always remained neutral, except for the emperor who tried not to get involved with any prince.

Before Wei Qingluan's affairs, Lin Chengzong only wanted to give something to reward Xuanyuan Che. Wei Qingluan is a relative who has been looking for more than ten years in General Lin's mansion. He will not change because of her, let alone Xiao Fang is just a prince. lobbyists.Lin Chengzong would never join the prince's party just because of his empty talk a few times.

If it weren't for the need for Xiao Fang's assistance on this journey, Lin Chengzong wouldn't even want to pay attention to him.

But now, everyone has gone outside the big tent, so Lin Chengzong had no choice but to let him in.

"General Lin," Xiao Fang said with a loud laugh as soon as he walked in, "Today we brothers can always take a break, and I will also ask my brother to teach you how to run the army properly."

Along the way, because he wanted to receive the Xirong envoy as soon as possible, Lin Chengzong always took the lead and ran at the front with his own soldiers.So Xiao Fang kept saying that he would learn from Lin Chengzong and learn how to lead soldiers well.

"Brother Xiao, you are being polite." Looking at Xiao Fang, who was only in his thirties, Lin Chengzong smiled slightly and motioned Xiao Fang to sit down.He really looked down on the officers and soldiers led by Xiao Fang, including Xiao Fang, just because of the official ranks in the capital.

"General Lin," Xiao Fang looked at Lin Chengzong and said with a smile, "You and I have known each other. When we return to the capital, it will be much easier to ask for advice. I'd better listen to my brother's arrangement for tomorrow."

Hearing this meaning that Xiao Fang didn't intend to write with him today, Lin Chengzong felt a little relieved.He just nodded and said: "You came at a good time, come here, take a look at the terrain around here." This kid's mind is still very good, so he is still willing to discuss some things with him.

As he said that, Lin Chengzong said what he had just thought about bringing fewer troops to meet the Xirong envoys.

"General Lin," Xiao Fang blinked and looked at Lin Chengzong and said, "We came here in a hurry, nearly twice as fast as the average team. Since we are about to receive an envoy, why not fix it here Wouldn't it be better to wait for them to come and meet in two or three days?"

At the usual speed, it would be normal for them to receive the Xirong envoy in another ten days.

"Then how can it work?" Lin Chengzong frowned slightly and said, "Since we have already arrived here, naturally we must receive people as soon as possible."

"But the weather has been bad for the past two days," Xiao Fang sighed softly, and said helplessly, "When I first came here, it was already drizzling outside. Besides, it's late summer now, and here is a mountainous area again. , the temperature is several degrees lower than that on the plains. The mountain roads are rugged and difficult, so I’m afraid it’s not easy to move forward.”

"That's why most of the people stay, and I just take a few people to meet them." Hearing Xiao Fang's words, Lin Chengzong strengthened his mind instead.But in his heart, he looked down on these officers and soldiers in the capital a little more.Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, these children from the capital are afraid that they will not be able to use them for a while.

"This," Xiao Fang showed disapproval, but then he nodded and said, "Everything is under the orders of General Lin." Just like when he and Lin Chengzong had disagreements before, he would obey.

Early the next morning, after a shower, the weather was better than before.

Seeing that Lin Chengzong ordered his own soldiers to go on the road, Xiao Fang led a group of soldiers and sent them ten miles away.The two of them had already discussed last night. Lin Chengzong took the people on his side to meet the Shangxi Rong envoy first, and then brought them out of the mountain to meet up at the place where they were stationed last night.

At the time of parting, Xiao Fang waved his hand, and several soldiers came forward with a dozen water bags.

Seeing Lin Chengzong looking at him with some puzzlement, Xiao Fang said: "General Lin, my subordinates know that you run the army strictly, but the temperature in this mountain is low. You and these brothers came down from the front of Beihu." , because most of the joints are bad due to wind and cold. This is some old wine, and when the weather is bad, taking a sip can also remove the cold wave."

On the road before, Xiao Fang invited Lin Chengzong to drink several times, but he refused them all.Even the officers and soldiers on Xiao Fang's side drank alcohol, but none of Lin Chengzong's men drank.

At this moment, looking at the dozen or so soldiers behind him in neat formation and high morale, Lin Chengzong took a deep breath, then cupped his hands at Xiao Fang and said, "Commander Lao Xiao is here."

Does this mean agreeing?
With a wave of Xiao Fang's hand, several soldiers brought the wine bags to Lin Chengzong's men.

No one from Lin Jiajun's side took the wine bag. Seeing Lin Chengzong nodded slightly, everyone took it.Lin Yong, Lin Chengzong's entourage, carried Lin Chengzong's share to himself.

When Lin Chengzong set off with his personal soldiers on horseback, Xiao Fang squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Lin Chengzong who was wearing silver armor, walking in front of a dozen sergeants in black armor, full of calculations.
