Gentlemen, listen to the sword chant

Chapter 111 After the War
Guangling.

In July, the sun was scorching hot, and after the summer completely entered, it was hot and dry like a steamer, just like Chizuko Honma's mood.She paced anxiously in the hall, her brows were tightly furrowed, and her face was livid.Xi Shen is dead, Wubei is in chaos, and the 10,000+ army is deeply mired in war. Now it is too late to send troops to help, and there is no way to recover. From Wunan to North, even if you travel day and night, it is too late , it was too late, she could only watch [-] troops buried in that land.

Learn deeply.

I misread you.

Every time I think of this, Qian Hezi always gnashes her teeth.

In any case, she never expected that the traitor who was greedy for life and fear of death in the past would willingly be the dog of the Dongying people, and in turn bit herself severely, causing her to lose a hundred thousand troops for nothing. Now she only blames herself for listening to the slander and being too conceited. It's too late to say anything.Qian Hezi blamed himself and was very angry. At this time, Shigeru Miyamoto walked over with heavy steps, bowed his head, and said in a low voice, "Commander, a letter from General Tojo Goro of Huaiyin."

After finishing speaking, Shigeru Miyamoto respectfully presented a bamboo roll.

Qian Hezi unfolded the bamboo scroll, studied it for a while, and yelled: "Bastard, bastard! The bandits in Taozhi Mountain have not left, neither have Yanchang in Snow Country, nor have the Jizhou Army and Zhao Jun. They have been dormant all this time, you bastard!" ,asshole!"

She lost her image at this time, cursing like a shrew.

Shigeru Miyamoto remained silent, and his heart was also very heavy. It was too late for support now. In fact, when Xi Shen was assassinated, Qian Hezi should have sent troops to support him, but who would have thought that Xi Shen would be so good at pretending?He deceived almost everyone, including Qian Hezi.

Another day.

In panic.

Honma Qianhezi received bad news from Huaiyin.

Tojo Goro led his troops out of the city to fight the enemy in a bloody battle. Unfortunately, he died in battle. The [-] army was smashed to pieces, and none of them survived.

A sentinel who escaped by chance knelt in front of Qianhezi and cried loudly, saying that the gang of bandits was very hateful. They hung the corpse of Tojo Goro on the tower to show the public, pushed the corpses of tens of thousands of soldiers into the valley, and set them aside. The fire burned completely.Qian Hezi was heartbroken when he heard the news, and there was endless hatred. For several days, news came from Xiaxiang, Piaocheng, and Haizhou. On the ground, passed out.

One hundred thousand troops.

just gone,
Wubei counties fell across the board.

At night, at Zishi, Qian Hezi struggled to wake up on the hospital bed. Seeing Shigeru Miyamoto standing in front of the bed, she felt a little relieved, "Where did the enemy army hit? Did they ever go south?"

"Marshal, don't worry, they didn't come, they just showed off their power in Wu Bei." Shigeru Miyamoto comforted softly.

In a coma, Chizuru talked in her sleep several times, and fell into a nightmare. Her mouth was ambiguous, saying that she was loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, and that death would be the end of the battle. Shigeru Miyamoto kept guarding until Chizuru Zi wakes up.

……

Yuhang.

Yuhang has a long history and is a thousand-year-old city. It is known as "a gift from heaven, a paradise on earth". After Cheng Shouyu's death, Dongying people occupied Yuezhou and supported Juquan as the king of Yue.The King of Yue is still the original King of Yue. He was raised in Green Valley by the Dongying people like a pig, and Yuhang became the office of the Supreme Commander of the First Allied Forces, Uesugi.

Uesugi was doing a sand table drill in the mansion. He already knew the situation in Wuzhou by heart. Toshi Miyamoto came over at this time and said, "Pavilion Master, I have found out that the assassin with the deepest knowledge is a missionary from a hundred schools of thought." In order to find out their whereabouts, our department is hiding in the purple bamboo forest outside Guangling."

"Purple Bamboo Forest? There is an old saying in Great Liang that is true, the most dangerous place is always the safest, and it is true. This group of thieves are hiding in the Purple Bamboo Forest, but Qian Hezi didn't notice it, alas." Uesugi Qi shook his head, as if he felt that he had overestimated Qian Hezi's talent before, and she was a little...to catch her name.

"Master, do you want to remind her?"

"Remind me, they are all compatriots. Now she has lost Wu Bei. If those thieves are allowed to succeed and lose Wu Nan, we will be in a bad situation. The autumn harvest is about to come. I believe that in a short time, Wu Bei's army will not Go south."

Jun Miyamoto was puzzled, "Why? It stands to reason that when Xi Shen died at this time, all walks of life rose up to respond, and took down the counties in northern Wu, killing 10 soldiers of our army. When you go south, why don't you go south?"

Uesugi smiled meaningfully, "Animals know not to fight in water sources, let alone people? The autumn harvest is approaching, and if there is a war, it will definitely affect it. How can we fight without food for the winter? However, I think that before that , what else will happen.”

Jun Miyamoto nodded.

……

Zhongzhou, capital city.

Ever since Lin Gusheng, the youngest son of the commander-in-chief's mansion, smuggled away, Lin Pojun was anxious all day long, searching around, and was relieved when he learned that his young grandson had gone to Wuyue.Seeing that Lin Pojun was in a state of desperation, Prince Gong was complacent and deliberately released the news that Lin Gusheng had gone to Wuzhou, but the news reached Lin Pojun's ears, but Lin Pojun was not in a hurry anymore, it was time to eat and drink Hey, this made Lin Pojun very surprised, and he made a noise on purpose to let the people in the capital discuss this matter.You know, Lin Gusheng is known as the "little overlord of the capital". Which rich and powerful child has not been beaten, scolded and threatened by Lin Gusheng?As soon as Lin Gusheng left, the young masters in the capital were relieved, and they could play women drinking and horse racing in a fair and aboveboard manner. They were so comfortable, and they were secretly mocking Lin Gusheng as an old birthday star who ate arsenic and had the audacity to go to Wuyue.Lin Pojun later said this, saying that my child of the Lin family died on the battlefield, and he deserved his death. He should die on the battlefield and return to his hometown with the same glory as his father. This is a real soldier.Although Lin Pojun cared about his grandson, there was nothing he could do at this point. He could only think of the best. If not for the fact that his sons and grandchildren hadn't died in battle, Lin Pojun wouldn't be so concerned, but now there is no other way. The only choice is to mourn Sun Er Ji Ren's natural appearance, let him be baptized in the flames of war, let go of his hostility and anger, and become a truly independent general.

this day.

Huang Shi and Lin Pojun played against each other, Lin Pojun raised his hand to hold the chess piece in Tianyuan, and said with a dumb smile: "Huang Shi, after all, I'm going to the end."

Lin Pojun is one generation higher than Huangshi.

"Old Marshal, it's the same. You are a general, and I'm an eunuch. I'm afraid I'll be one step ahead of you. It's okay, if you go to Huangquan Road, you can catch up with His Majesty and continue to serve him. "Huangshi smiled gently.

"You can last another 20 years, and I will be different. The end is approaching. I have a hunch, maybe next year, maybe the year after, it's getting closer, getting closer, and there is nothing left to do." Lin Po Jun sighed, and continued to speak: "When I go, the most worrying thing is you and His Royal Highness. The elder grandson is rigid, and the younger grandson is rebellious. They are not people who can sit down and listen to my reasoning. After I leave, I'm afraid that no one in the Iron Army will be able to take the lead."

He still didn't say a word, because he was afraid that after he left, Huangshi would not be able to shake all the officials and the heroes of the world.

"The eldest son just lost the war and fell for the time being. The little son is also a good boy. He is stubborn, strong, and kind. He will be fine. He is the protagonist in this war. You and I just wait and see what happens. When the young master comes back, he must have faded away and be able to accept your inheritance."

"Hahaha, if that's the case, I will die without regret."

……

Xuzhou city.

Ever since Lin Gusheng told the news that he was going to join the army, a few bandits released him. In the words of bandits, although we have fallen into bandits, we are still forced to do nothing. Willing to die tomorrow?Although they were reckless, they were also forced by the current situation. They respected Lin Gusheng as a bloody hero, so they really let him go.

"You're from Zhongzhou. It's amazing there. It's said to be a place where a handful of seeds can be planted and fruit will grow in the coming year. Judging by your delicate skin and tender flesh, you don't look like a poor family. Oh, yes, a poor boy." Why do you have the ability to travel so far to Wuzhou? What do you think, to join the army?" the man asked.

After Lin Gusheng was untied, he stretched his muscles and bones, but he was so hungry that he had no energy, so he pretended to be relaxed and said, "I need a reason to join the army? Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. The court does not act, and the local government does not take responsibility. We are young People, don’t you just watch the Japanese pirates ravage our Daliang rivers and mountains, trample our Daliang country, and enslave our people? You are also men, and you have a few pounds of strength. Instead of fighting against the Japanese pirates, you turn your head to embarrass your own compatriots. What do you think? Are you willing to see future generations submit to the Japanese pirates forever, be their cattle and horses, and be their lackeys?"

Several people looked at each other.

One person smiled wryly and said: "Brother, I was offended just now, but you didn't know something, it's not because we didn't do anything, right now, the Japanese pirates are making trouble, and the governor of the state government didn't recruit soldiers before, we just want to serve the country but have no way out. Previously, the princes of the towns sent troops to form an alliance, and my brothers also went, but they were turned away. They have standard food and wages, and they don’t have our share. Even if you want to be cannon fodder, you have to give us a pair of clothes, right? Well now, the master of the state government is dead, and the anti-Japanese sentiment in the army is high, but there is still a food problem. If you join the army, you will join the army, and the Japanese pirates will follow suit. There is no salary, and only rely on blood. Who will work hard. "

"Pedantic." Lin Gusheng scolded, and said: "If you don't have a salary, you won't join the army? What do you think? If the coalition army is defeated and Wu Bei's army is dead, there is really no hope for Wuzhou. In today's troubled times, you still want to Want military pay? It’s good if they can give you a bite to eat. If you can fight Japanese pirates, why do you care so much? Besides, do you only care about that little money? What can you do with that little money? After joining the army, if you hit Guangling , hit Suzhou, regained the lost land, what do you want? Our army is poor, and the Japanese pirates are rich. If we rob them, we are afraid that there will be no money to make? Then again, let’s talk about it. Fighting the Japanese pirates now is accumulating military merit, which will be discussed in the future Rewards, maybe you can be named a general, you fellows, you only care about the immediate benefits, but you can't see the long-term future, it's really pedantic."

The faces of several people were reddened by the training.

The truth is that.

However, if they are alive, they have a bad heart, and if they join the army, they will be a big soldier. They have done the charge, no salary, only enough to eat and drink, life is hard, and they feel uncomfortable. If they are unlucky, they will die. , who remembers himself?It's better to muddle along for a day, and it's better to live than to die.But, they are all men, and they are bloody men. Although they have no culture and do not understand the feelings of family and country, who is used to seeing Japanese pirates rampant, occupying their homes, showing off their power, eating their flesh and drinking their blood?

A man said: "Brother, what do you think? I admire you. I came from Zhongzhou thousands of miles away to join the army and serve the country. I am a rough person. I don't understand those things. We have joined the army and made military achievements, who will give us the statistics? In the future, those officials will turn their faces and deny us. Didn’t we die in vain?”

"Yeah, little brother, what are you talking about? If you can say one, two, three, we will follow you to join the army."

"..."

Seeing the three thugs all looking at him, Lin Gusheng was full of arrogance, and took out a token from his waist. It was made of bronze, with complicated patterns and very old-fashioned. Although these guys didn't know much about it, they also knew a truth.In this era, a person with a token is by no means taken lightly, not to mention princes and generals, but he must be a son of the clan class with a wealth of wealth.Several people widened their eyes, took a closer look, and found an ancient character engraved on the token, impressively writing "Lin", Lin?Looking at Zhongzhou, which big family would dare to use Lin?Could it be...

"Look, I'm Luoyang, the eastern capital, Qishan Commander's Mansion, a collateral clan of the Lin family, a serious nobleman." Lin Gusheng looked proud.

The men wiped their eyes, seemingly in disbelief.

The Lin family of the iron army is so powerful that it shakes the world, and its reputation is soaring, who doesn't know?

Lin Gusheng didn't dare to say that he was the grandson of Lin Pojun. After all, it was too unbelievable, and it was too exaggerated for these rural people. He is a collateral clan of the Lin family.The Lin family is flourishing and has been multiplied for more than 400 years. There are more than 2000 descendants of the collateral lineage of the Lin family. Most of them serve in the army and have high ranks.Even so, the men were still very surprised, wondering why this Pianpian young man came from Zhongzhou to join the army alone, with such a strong sense of family and country, feeling that he is a child of the Lin family, they all knelt down with a plop, and said in panic: "Mr. Forgive me, it was just that the villain had blind eyes and didn't know Mount Tai, so he tied up the young master..."

The other two also hurriedly knelt down.

Lin Gusheng raised them up with a wave of his hand, and said indifferently: "What are you afraid of? It's all a misunderstanding. I see a few of them are also good guys. If it weren't for bad luck, who would want to do some business of robbing houses? If the three of you are interested, just go with me We joined the army together, made great achievements for the empire, and expelled the Japanese pirates in the future, and when I return to Zhongzhou, I will report to the commander of the Iron Army."

With Lin Gusheng's words, several people knelt down and swore to follow Lin Gusheng without any hesitation.

A group of people walked along the official road and entered Xuzhou City. The city was already full of queues for entering the city. Most of them were young people. They generally came to join the army and serve the country. The most eye-catching city tower hung a bloody corpse, and a man lowered his voice. Pointing to the corpse, he said, "Brother, that is Mu Ye, the former general of Dongying stationed in Xuzhou, the military supervisor above the tower, and he is the nephew of General Yan Yue, the governor of Xuzhou."
