"It is said that Puyu's central defense line was completely defeated in this battle. Are they with you now?" Lin Daxiong asked in a deep voice.

Lin Hanmo was not surprised in his heart, but he was still a little embarrassed.

"Back to my grandfather, General Dai... Dai Puyu is indeed in Luzuo Academy now."

After speaking, he glanced at the little guard next to him.

The little guard was smart and stepped forward quickly.

"Back to the old man, General Dai is thinking about his past mistakes. Should... let him come to see you?"

Humph.

Lin Daxiong shook his head coldly, with murderous intent in his voice.

"As a leading general, not only did he not stay at his combat post, he actually took the lead in leading his troops away from the battlefield. According to imperial military discipline, this will require beheading."

"In earlier years, I would have killed him directly. Now..."

Just keep it closed for now.

In the future, the Ministry of War or others will handle it.

After speaking, he glanced towards the back hill of Lu Zuo Academy.

Lin Daxiong certainly knows what it means to think about past mistakes.

Those were little dark rooms.

It is usually a place used by major academies to punish or imprison students who cheat, disrespect teachers, or even commit serious crimes.

Although these houses are not as strong as the cells in various yamen, it is almost impossible for ordinary people to escape if they are locked in them.

Unexpectedly, Lin Hanmo now slightly renovated it and turned it into a place where generals such as Fang Yuanwu, Dai Puyu and others were detained.

----

On the mountain behind Luzuo Academy, I thought about it.

Bang bang bang.

There was a dull thumping sound.

Dai Puyu's voice was a little hoarse.

"Damn it, someone's here! Where are the general's personal guards? Where are they?"

"You are so brave, do you know who I am?"

"I am the deputy general of the Central Army Corps. Except for the general, no one dares to touch me. You actually dare to detain me for no reason, and risk your life?"

"Where is Lin Hanmo? Let him come to see me!"

……

There are strict guards outside the Siguo Station.

Three steps to a post, five steps to a sentry.

However, no matter how loud Dai Puyu shouted, no one made a sound, and no one even glanced inside.

A long time passed, and I didn't know whether it was because I was tired or discouraged, but I gradually stopped thinking about my mistakes.

Dai Puyu gasped and couldn't help but slumped against the wall to rest.

As he leaned closer, he realized that the entire wall was actually wet, and even moldy in some places.

Looking at the wall in front of him, Dai Puyu suddenly felt confused and frightened.

Couldn't this wall be my future?

Thinking of this, Dai Puyu shook her head vigorously.

Will not.

Although the war at Dinghai Wharf was unfavorable and someone needs to take responsibility, the law does not hold everyone accountable.

After all, he was not the only general to lead such a large army...

What's more, he just retreated to Luzuo Academy, and he hasn't even taken refuge in Huayang County or even withdrawn from Huayang County.

This place is only sixty miles away from Dinghai Pier, which is still within the scope of the battlefield.

Therefore, it is not considered an escape at all. It can only be said to be a strategic shift or to lure the enemy deep and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

Even if a supervisor like Hou Yinbao reads a copy at the Ministry of War or the Imperial Palace in the future, he will still have something to say.

In addition, Feng Haohan and An Nanhou are dealing with each other in the middle, so nothing big should happen...

It should be fine.

Dai Puyu comforted herself again and again.

However, when his arm accidentally touched the damp and cold wall, his legs instantly started shaking again.

After a while, the banging sound started again.

Dai Puyu began to knock on the door in a panic again.

"Come here, let me out."

"Is there anyone here? Go and tell General Lin. The Japanese pirates invaded our land and killed our people. I will not be at odds with them. As long as I can get out, I will immediately lead my troops to destroy them..."

————    Lüzuo River.

Lin Daxiong withdrew his gaze and grabbed his sword.

"Mo'er, the post road under our feet is straight and smooth, and there are flat farmlands on both sides. Once a large number of Japanese pirates approach, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to stop their westward march with just our few troops."

Therefore, some people are needed to stop the enemy on the east side of Luzuo River.

Even if it takes a day and a half.

Lin Daxiong laughed.

"Grandpa, this old bone can still move, so let me block it for you."

"Grandpa, this is absolutely impossible." Lin Hanmo waved his hands in fear.

"It's all because of your grandson's incompetence that you have to travel all the way to Huayang County to supervise your work at such an advanced age. My grandson is not only ashamed but also annoyed, but also very grateful."

Speaking of this, Lin Hanmo raised his hands to the people behind Lin Daxiong.

"But grandpa, look, here at Lu Zuo Academy, I, the Lin family, have many sons and daughters."

"Brothers are sharpening their swords and Huo Huoying is full of energy. They can't wait to go to the battlefield immediately to defeat the Japanese pirates and enhance the reputation of our Annan Marquis Mansion. There is no way for you, my grandfather, to take risks yourself..."

"And the battlefield is dangerous. If something happens to you, my grandson will not be able to escape his guilt even if he dies."

After all, the Luzuo River was almost the last hurdle before them, so the bridge on the river had already been crumbled by Lin Hanmo.

As long as the Japanese pirate army approaches, the entire bridge will collapse and sink into the water.

At that time, Yunchui's soldiers who were still on the east bank of the river had almost no way to escape.

Lin Daxiong didn't know.

However, he glanced back along Lin Hanmo's hand, and his expression darkened.

snort!

"Look at them, they're so handsome! They're so sharp!"

The tribesmen behind Lin Daxiong stood up straight as soon as he caught his gaze.

However, after all, these dandies from the capital were new to the battlefield. Although many of them tried hard to hide it, their eyes could not help but reveal a trace of confusion and nervousness.

Some people's hands and feet were even faintly shaking.

Let these junior brothers take the lead. They probably won't even be able to hold weapons firmly, which is as easy as sending them to death.

Humph.

Lin Daxiong became angrier as he watched, and couldn't help but snorted again.

He raised his head with emotion and looked at the general flag with the word "Lin" sounding fiercely above him. Sadness suddenly surged in his heart.

Decades ago, Lin Daxiong was still the heir apparent of the Mo Luo Bo Mansion, and his situation was almost the same as that of the Zhongyong Bo Mansion in previous years.

Later, the surrounding neighboring countries collectively attacked Yunchui, and Nanfeng Xiaoman even went all the way north, almost reaching the Xinglan Grand Canal.

The so-called poverty means thinking about change.

Lin Daxiong did not hesitate to follow the then Crown Prince, Princess Yiguang and his wife, into the battlefield.

At that time, he was the first to fight.

On the battlefield, swords and guns are blind.

Lin Daxiong was extremely brave. Although he was repeatedly injured, sometimes even seriously injured and dying, once he recovered from his injuries, he continued to charge forward, killing people in Nanfeng with fear.

In the end, they succeeded in driving those southern barbarians back to their hometown, in exchange for decades of peace in southern Xinjiang.

Lin Daxiong, who fought bravely and refused to retreat, made great contributions.

The emperor at that time also personally awarded him the title of General Annan.

Annan also stabilizes southern Xinjiang.

The Lin family, on the other hand, directly jumped five levels from a declining Earl's Mansion to a Marquis Mansion.

That is now the Annan Hou Mansion.

Hey!

Thinking of these past events, Lin Daxiong sighed silently.

After the war that year subsided, the Lin family was keenly aware of the royal family's fear of the Zhenguo Palace.

So Lin Daxiong withdrew without hesitation and transferred all the tribesmen from the government camp to the Central Army Corps, which was closest to the royal family, and became one of the pillars of the Central Army Corps.

Even in order to avoid suspicion, Lin Daxiong deliberately indulged his tribe members. No matter how ridiculous things his children and grandchildren did, he always put the emperor's wishes first and never interfered or even encouraged them.

This indulgence lasted for decades. Unexpectedly, the Lin family's son-in-law, who was so feared by everyone in Nanfeng when he was killed on the battlefield, has now become a group of cowards.

Some people are so scared that their hands and feet are weak even before they see the enemy...

Lin Daxiong retracted his complicated thoughts and looked at his grandson again.

He said categorically: "You don't need to say any more, I'll go ahead. If any of you dares to retreat or is afraid of fighting..."

snort!

"grandfather……"

Lin Hanmo was so anxious that he tried to persuade him again and again, but he couldn't persuade Lin Daxiong at all.

In the end, I could only watch him finish eating and drinking, and cross the Luzuo River with a long list of frightened children and grandchildren.
