The world of film and television begins with Ning'an as a dream

After all, although they are all emperors, the feeling of being a tyrant in different worlds is also different.

If he traveled through time and became Lin Shu, he would be eager to persuade Lin Xie to rebel. At the very least, he would instigate Lin Xie and Marquis Yan to force the emperor to abdicate and let Crown Prince Qi ascend the throne ahead of time. This would be the safest way.

But, he was just a captain of the Red Flame Army!

Although he is also a leader among the younger generation of the Red Flame Army, he is still powerless and cannot change Lin Xie's mind at all.

After all, Lin Xie’s current situation is really good.

The more than 100,000 Chiyan Army are actually the Lin Family Army. Like the Prince Mu’s Palace in Yunnan, the Chiyan Army only knows Lin Xie but not the emperor!

Lin Xie's sister was the Imperial Noble Consort, and his nephew was the Crown Prince, a famous wise king who was loved by all the civil and military officials in the court. Sooner or later, he would become the emperor.

In this situation, Wang Yue foolishly told Lin Xie, "The emperor wants to kill you. From my experience, if he says you want to rebel, you'd better really rebel!"

Isn't that just asking for trouble?

Therefore, Wang Yue prepared to take advantage of this downsizing opportunity to lay off himself without hesitation.

As long as he leaves the Chiyan Army, with the following of those three hundred fellow countrymen, in this era of scrambling for supremacy in the Central Plains, he can make a successful living wherever he goes. Why should he follow the Chiyan Army and wait for death?

What he never expected was that he was just a captain, and Lin Xie seemed reluctant to let him go, which was a bit of a headache.

Wang Yue was helpless. He could only bite the bullet and explain, "When I left home, I thought about building a career first and then starting a family. But now I am already twenty-one, and His Majesty has suddenly reduced the military. It is obvious that there is no future in the army. So I thought about going home to marry and have children first, and I will think about the future later."

Lin Xie obviously didn't believe Wang Yue's lies. He thought Wang Yue was worried about his future, so he quickly persuaded him, "Shu'er has always treated you as his elder brother. When I get old, I will hand over the Red Flame Army to Shu'er. You will be his right-hand man. How can you not have a future?"

At this point, he changed the subject and said with a smile, "As for marriage, Shu'er has a sister in the clan who is a famous beauty in the clan. She is just the right age for you. If you don't mind, I will make the decision and let you get married after the New Year. What do you think?"

Wang Yue felt that it was a bit tricky. If he refused again at this time, it would be a bit ungrateful. He said that he had to wait for Emperor Liang to destroy the Red Flame Army, and Lin Xie would destroy him first. He never underestimated a person's malice, nor did he underestimate a person's kindness.

He thought carefully that it would be after the New Year when the Chiyan Army's disarmament was completed. By the time Lin Xie had finished everything and was preparing to arrange his marriage, Dayu in the north would probably attack. He probably wouldn't have time to get married, and everything would be in vain.

Now that he couldn't get away, Wang Yue felt that he could only retreat. He saluted solemnly to Lin Xie, and then solemnly changed the subject and said, "General, I wonder what arrangements you have for the 30,000 Red Flame Army that have been laid off?"

Lin Xie didn't expect Wang Yue to suddenly change the subject. He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty intends to transfer General Meng Zhi to be the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard. Most of the disbanded Red Flame Army will go to Nanjing with him, and the auxiliary troops who follow him will be settled in Jingzhou. Of course, there will also be some older ones who can only go home to farm."

Wang Yue knew the result, and he said solemnly, "General, I think these old soldiers are already accustomed to military life, and they have no means of making a living if they return home. It is better to gather them together, whether they are doing business or farming, it will be safer than returning home."

Lin Xie could tell that Wang Yue was determined to leave the Chiyan Army and had no intention of joining others. This was the guarantee he made to him.

He hesitated for a moment, then asked in a deep voice, "At least three to five thousand people were laid off, which is not a small number. Purchasing good farmland is also a large sum of money. It's not that easy to support them. Have you thought of a way out?"

Of course Wang Yue hadn't thought it through, so he pretended to be terrified and said, "General, you are joking. I definitely can't rely on you. However, I am trying to find a way out for the Lin family army, so that the soldiers don't have to worry about the future. In the future, retired or disabled soldiers can also have a place to stay. Of course, the general has to buy good farmland for me. I am only responsible for handling this matter."

Wang Yue's idea of ​​the Lin Family Army touched Lin Xie's heart. He was very interested in Wang Yue's suggestion of building a retirement home for the Chi Yan Army. If done well, the Chi Yan Army's combat effectiveness would be greatly increased.

He thought it would be better to let Wang Yue try rather than asking someone from his family to do it, after all, it would be less conspicuous.

As for whether Wang Yue would embezzle, Lin Xie was not worried at all. As long as he and the prince were still there, Wang Yue would not dare to embezzle.

If there really comes a day when both the father and son and the prince fall, these land deeds will become a hot potato. 39288952.

Chapter 62 This is a way to death!

Thinking of this, Lin Xie sighed and said, "Since you have made up your mind, I won't force you. I remember that you are from Wujun. When we fought against Southern Chu, I had some good farmland in Taizhou, not far from Wujun. Now I don't have time to manage it. I will give it to you later. You can take all the relatives of the soldiers who are willing to move there."

Wang Yue was not surprised that Lin Xie had so much land. It was easy for a general to obtain money and land when he was away. When Ning'an Rumeng was in peace, Yan Lin's father did this a lot. Otherwise, how could he have so much money to support an army of hundreds of thousands?

So, he immediately bowed and saluted, and promised solemnly, "I promise to build a back garden for the Lin Family Army for you! Let the soldiers of the Red Flame Army have a place to settle down after they retire!"

Seeing Wang Yue's relieved look, Lin Xie realized that Wang Yue had not betrayed the Red Flame Army, but just didn't want to continue fighting.

Considering that Wang Yue was a brave warrior and fearless, he was a little confused, so he sighed and reminded him, "Captain Wang, as long as the world is not unified, there will be war. You can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever!"

Wang Yue knew that Lin Xie was right, but he really didn't want to die with him. He just didn't expect that Lin Xie provided so much land just to resettle the retired Red Flame Army. He looked like a good person, so he couldn't bear it.

He hesitated and pondered for a while, then said in a deep voice, "General, your majesty is in good health, but the prince has a bad reputation. This is a way to death. General, you better be prepared!"

After Wang Yue said this, he noticed that Lin Xie's face changed drastically. He quickly bowed and saluted, then left the tent, leaving Lin Xie alone in the tent.

After he returned to his tent, his military commanders rushed over and asked if they were among the troops to be laid off. They felt that it was their honor to win the battle with the Red Flame Army and did not want to be abandoned like this.

Wang Yue did not hide anything and said sincerely, "After five years of fighting, it seems that there is still no end in sight. I am a little tired, so I asked the general for a way out. That is to lead the laid-off soldiers to live in Taizhou. If you are willing to follow me, of course I am willing. If you want to stay and continue to fight, I will not force you."

Wang Yue's blow stunned several of his men. They had not expected that Wang Yue suddenly wanted to leave, leaving them at a loss as to what to do.

The three captains were very excited to ask Wang Yue to stay and continue to lead them.

"General, you are brave and good at fighting. Sooner or later you will be able to make great progress. We brothers still want to follow you and enjoy the good life. Please don't abandon us!"

"Yes, General, stay. It will be more reassuring for the brothers to stay with you."

"General, our brothers can't live without you!"

At once, the three captains all started to persuade Wang Yue to stay and lead them.

Wang Yue's fellow countryman Wang Jing, who was also his military commander, did not react much.

Wang Jing thought simply. He trusted Wang Yue very much and followed whatever Wang Yue did.

But the other two Du Wei were somewhat unwilling. After all, the Red Flame Army was invincible, and their military achievements were so numerous that their hands were cramping. They definitely didn't want to leave just like that.

The reason why they persuaded Wang Yue was because Wang Yue always led by example and was brave and good at fighting, which made them feel very safe.

Whether they like it or not, Wang Yue has made the decision and must escape from this hell.

He did not ignore the situation and arranged the destinations of the three captains according to the wishes of several of his subordinates.

Although Lin Xie was somewhat alert after Wang Yue's reminder, he still didn't take it to heart.

He secretly asked someone to inquire among Wang Yue's team, and after learning that Wang Yue had no intention of winning over anyone except his fellow villagers, it seemed that he really wanted to leave, he revealed the matter.

After all, he had a strong army and didn't care about Wang Yue's more than 300 fellow villagers, nor did he think that the emperor could do anything to him.

What's more, the prince is virtuous, so it would be difficult for His Majesty to move even if he wanted to. In his opinion, he and the prince are one inside and one outside, and this is the most stable relationship.

What's more, in his opinion, he couldn't retreat. If he did, he might really die! If he didn't retreat, the Lin family might prosper for a hundred years.

Daliang, the twenty-third year of Zhenping, spring.

With the issuance of Emperor Liang's imperial edict, the 100,000-strong Chiyan Army was officially disbanded. After eliminating the old and weak, there were only more than 70,000 elite soldiers left in the Chiyan Army, and the number of auxiliary troops serving the elite was also relatively reduced.

Among them, the deputy general Meng Zhi led more than 20,000 soldiers under his command to join the Imperial Guard and was transferred to Jingzhou to guard the capital Jinling, and also took a small number of the palace soldiers with him.

The Chiyu Camp was also established, led by the young commander Lin Shu, who commanded 6,000 soldiers.

After the great military reduction, thanks to Lin Xie's arrangement, 7,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people were stripped of their military household registration, but their weapons were not taken back. Instead, these people and their families were relocated to Taizhou.

Taizhou Governor Xu Hong originally had a very good relationship with the Lin family and was very dedicated to the arrangements for the Red Flame Army.

What's more, this place is not far from Nan Chu, and there are so many retired soldiers here, who farm in their spare time and serve as soldiers in wartime. He was very happy in his heart and cooperated as he was told.

……

Jinling, Imperial Palace,

Emperor Liang couldn't help but frowned when listening to Xia Jiang's report. He said with some displeasure, "Is the news you said true?"

Seeing that Emperor Liang had already become suspicious, Xia Jiang's eyes flashed with joy. He immediately knelt on the ground and said excitedly, "Your Majesty! I dare not slander Marshal Lin even if I die. This was all reported to me by the people below."

Emperor Liang walked back and forth in the hall for a few steps before he said solemnly, "Send someone to keep a close eye on this. I want to hear your report no matter how big or small the matter is!"

Xia Jiang didn't even stand up. He lowered his head to hide the smile in his eyes, but replied in a very serious tone, "Yes!"

……

The place names in this world are very confusing. The so-called Jinling is actually Jiangling of Jingzhou during the Three Kingdoms period. Taizhou is far away on the coast of Jiangdong. Although it is relatively safe because it is adjacent to Southern Chu, it is also a comfortable place far away from the court.

Wang Yue also had no idea what was happening in Jinling. He divided the land among each person, giving them fifty mu of land, and let them take care of their own land.

He took more than 300 fellow villagers to start making soap in his hometown, taking advantage of the time difference and preparing to make some money first.

Time passed quickly, and more than half a year had passed in the blink of an eye. While Wang Yue was immersed in the joy of making money, the inertia of history was not affected at all, and what was supposed to come still came.

Daliang, the twenty-third year of Zhenping, winter.

The Emperor of Dayu unexpectedly led an army of 20 to the south. Taking advantage of the unprepared counties and prefectures of Daliang, he conquered several prefectures and counties in succession and marched straight to Chang'an.

As long as Chang'an City is captured and Wuguan and Tongguan are defended, the entire Guanzhong area will be back within the territory of Dayu.

The Chiyan Army, which had just arrived in a hurry, found that they had no place to stay as soon as they left Meiling, so they retreated in a hurry, preparing to lure the Dayu troops into Meiling and rely on the geographical advantages for defense.

The Guanzhong region was seized by the Chiyan Army from Dayu back then. The Emperor of Dayu regarded the Chiyan Army as a thorn in his side and wished to chop Lin Xie into pieces.

He now felt that the Chiyan Army must have been severely damaged after the reduction of its troops. Now Dayu had 39288116 troops against Chiyan Army. I had the advantage, so I let the army chase into the valley of Meiling. .

Chapter 63 The enemy comes from within!

Wang Yue, who was busy with business, became silent after receiving the news.

Although the Red Flame Army is capable of fighting, the 200,000-strong Dayu Imperial Army is also elite!

Although the Red Flame Army was fighting against its elite troops, Lin Xie could only use strategies to have a glimmer of hope for victory.

He felt that Lin Xie's idea was actually very good. In this dry and cold winter, he could lead the Dayu troops into the canyon of Meiling Mountain, and then let the Western Border Army bring kerosene to block the Dayu troops' retreat. Then, with a big fire, he could easily annihilate the 200,000 Dayu troops.

It’s just that the Western Border Army did bring kerosene, but it’s hard to say who they targeted in the end.

After all, the enemy may come from within.

If the Western Border Army is slow to arrive like in the drama, the Red Flame Army can only rely on its familiarity with the terrain and fight hard with the Dayu troops in the canyon.

Although after the final tragic victory, the Western Border Army blocked their way just like in the drama, and then ignited the belated fire, the Red Flame Army, which had already suffered heavy losses, was killed without a burial place.

However, he had no way of telling Lin Xie about these things and asking him to be on guard. After all, he had already reminded him.

Moreover, at the critical moment of foreign invasion, the emperor would have to go crazy to destroy the most powerful Red Flame Army.

In fact, at this moment, Lin Xie’s thoughts were exactly the same as those of Emperor Dayu. He also felt that the advantage lay with me!

After he set up an ambush south of Taibai County on Baoxia Road, he nonchalantly said to Lin Shu's reminder, "This is a national war. Anyone with a normal mind will not attack our Red Flame Army at this time. Besides, your cousin Prince Qi is still in the court and will not let Your Majesty make any mistakes."

Although Lin Shu remembered Wang Yue's reminder, he felt that his father was right. Besides, if their ambush failed, they could still retreat, so there was not much danger.

As for why there was no news from the Western Border Army for a long time, he also felt that it was because the Meiling Mountain Road was too difficult to travel on, otherwise they would not have set an ambush here.

……

After more than half a year of development, Wang Yue, relying on the ancient business methods he learned from You Fangyin and using the profits brought by soap, has allowed the soldiers who followed him to live a good life. Even the families of the more than 7,000 retired soldiers are many times happier than before.

But the time is too short after all, and it is not easy for him to win the hearts of the people.

Just now, it was heard that the Chiyan Army was blocked in Meiling by 200,000 Dayu soldiers and horses. All kinds of rumors were spreading again, making the soldiers who had followed Wang Yue and enjoyed the good life for more than half a year immediately anxious again.

In fact, it is not the fault of these retired soldiers. After all, many of their fathers, brothers and relatives are in the Red Flame Army, which makes them unconsciously a little impatient.

This impatience became more and more restless as the imperial court's reinforcements delayed in arriving.

Finally, Wang Jing found Wang Yue who was busy in the workshop and asked with some embarrassment, "Brother Yue, I have something to tell you."

Wang Yue looked at the hesitant look of this fellow villager who had been through thick and thin with him, and suddenly understood what Wang Jing was trying to do.

He said helplessly, "Could it be that one of my brothers wants to go to the battlefield to reinforce us?"

Wang Jing nodded, and then said seriously, "Brothers just want to do their part. General Lin gave us a piece of land to settle down. Now the army is trapped, and we brothers want to rescue them."

When Wang Yue saw Wang Jing's uneasy expression, he knew that this matter was not decided by Wang Jing alone, but probably represented the voice of everyone, or the thoughts of the majority.

He knew that this was a critical moment. If he couldn't resolve the crisis, the people's hearts and minds that he had gathered with great difficulty by making money would probably disappear in an instant.

After all, the troops he brought originally belonged to the Chiyan Army, which was the Lin family army. If he wanted them to change their surname to Wang, just half a year of inducement might not be enough.

Wang Yue hesitated for a moment, then said bluntly, "Tell the brothers below to think clearly. The court has sent reinforcements, but we don't know when they will arrive. We only have 7,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people. I'm afraid we will just die if we go. If you are still willing to go, come back and give me a reply."

Wang Jing knew the seriousness of the matter, so he quickly spread Wang Yu's words.

Wang Yue originally thought that since they knew this journey was dangerous and that this war had nothing to do with them, these retired soldiers might give up.

What Wang Yue never expected was that the soldiers not only did not give up, but were extremely eager to fight.

Wang Yue was actually quite happy to see that everyone had made a decision. After all, these people were nostalgic, which was good for him. If they benefited from him in the future, they would be loyal to him.

Moreover, he had already planned the rescue operation, and with the help of these soldiers, he was no longer fighting alone.

Soap can easily become explosives when other things are added to it. Wang Yue has seen this specifically in Life of Pi.
