Step on a branch

Chapter 173 Familiarity
On the city wall, Lin Fan watched the army go out of Kansai.

Liu Ben stood beside him with a very serious expression.

Probably because he was dissatisfied with the situation where his camp was burned by horse thieves at Yushakou, General Mao did not let Liu Ben go with him when he personally sent troops this time.

Of course, the words are still very nice.

Feimen Pass must be garrisoned by generals.

Ding Guogong has just arrived, and there must be someone who knows the situation when it comes to defense.

As General Mao's deputy general, Liu Ben can obviously take on this responsibility.

For good reason.

Liu Ben couldn't refuse, so he stayed.

At this moment, looking at the dust raised by the horse's hooves, Liu Ben shook his head.

"I thought about it, it's not easy," Liu Ben said to Lin Fan after looking around to make sure he could speak well, "Unexpectedly, I don't even need to think of a way, General Mao himself is in a hurry."

Lin Fan looked into the distance and said: "General Liu is looking for a way, the size of the matter can be controlled, General Mao took the initiative to attack, but it's..."

Liu Benhe laughed.

That's exactly what happened.

If he wants to do something, he will weigh the consequences. He must not only achieve his goal, but also ensure that there will be no big losses.

Difficult, of course it is.

However, it is only natural to pursue results and bear difficulties.

Can you have the best of both worlds while lying down?

He is not a three-year-old child, he will not be so naive.

As a result, before he had time to figure out a good way, General Mao sent troops to retake Yushakou because of the fall.

As Ding Guogong said, this is not a good idea.

Compared with the initiative of the war, it is more like a weapon for General Mao and the defenders when dealing with imperial reinforcements.

"General Mao..." Liu Ben thought about his choice of words, and said, "I think that sooner or later, instead of fighting today, General Feng will also fight when he arrives. His personality is like this."

Lin Fan thought about what Liu Ben had said, and nodded slowly.

They also fought for the late emperor, some of them became dukes and marquises, and some stuck to the frontier towns.

General Mao regarded this difference as a difference in striving for merit.

It was before, and it is now.

The arrival of the reinforcements this time obliterated the hard work of the defenders for so many years and made the reinforcements a success.

In this way of thinking, even if General Mao was born in the Yongning Hou army, it is conceivable that he has been dissatisfied with the old Hou Ye in the past few years.

"He wants to fight," Lin Fan said. "We can't stop it, but we can't really ignore it. We must be ready to help at any time."

Liu Ben nodded in agreement.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Ben said, "I have to say, the Duke has a good temper. General Mao was so provocative, and he was not aroused."

It wasn't just General Mao's two eccentric "Master of the State", but later he mentioned the comparison between father and son, saying that Lin Fan was no more daring than Lin Xuan to fight, and when he met a bloody one, he would jump up on the spot.

It was Lin Fan, as if he hadn't heard it.

"It's not because of a good temper," Lin Fan said with a smile, "but, once provoked by him and led away by the nose, how can I express myself?"

When talking about the truth, the most taboo thing is to be controlled by emotions.

This is true in the Chiyiwei, and it is the same in the army.

Liu Ben tasted Lin Fan's words and began to think seriously.

People who join the army are very bloody. Many times, they don't understand the truth, and their fists have already gone out.

In this way, Lin Fan deserves to be Lin Xuan's son.

People who are capable of both martial arts and literary skills certainly know how to communicate with others.

In comparison, Marquis Yongning is a real martial artist with a very bad temper.

but……

Liu Ben scratched his beard.

In my impression, the old Hou Ye's temper turned into a big one, and it seems that because of his temper, he didn't ignore the reason, and the situation was broken and messed up.

Old Hou Ye can spread his temper without affecting the overall situation.

Thinking about it this way, Lord Hou is indeed very powerful.

Just thinking about it, a gust of wind blows head-on.

The banner on the city wall was bulging by the strong wind, and it directly covered Liu Ben's face.

Liu Ben hurriedly pulled it with his hands, and managed to free most of his face. He opened his mouth to talk to Lin Fan, but saw that the young man was not disturbed by the flag, and he was facing the wind, looking into the distance with his hands behind his back.

Lin Fan was tall and straight, dressed in silver armor and a silver helmet, showing half of his face.

His eyes stared deeply into the distance, and the strong wind made him narrow his eyes slightly.

Liu Ben's hand holding the flag stopped.

For a moment, he felt that the picture in front of him and the person in the picture were very familiar and deja vu.

He wanted to take a closer look, but the strong wind stopped suddenly, and the flag lost its stirring, and hung down, wrapping around him.

Liu Ben hurriedly circled himself out.

The action was too funny, Lin Fan couldn't hold back, and smiled straight at Liu Ben.

With such a smile, Liu Ben couldn't hold back, blowing his beard and laughing for a long time.

After laughing, I wanted to find the familiar feeling again, but I couldn't find it after looking left and right.

When going down the city wall, Liu Ben slapped his head.

Whoops!
How much he has dealt with Lin Han and Lin Xuan, and Lin Fan looks familiar, isn't this a matter of course?
I was really confused by the gust of wind.

The sky slowly sank.

Torches were lit in the camp.

As soon as Lin Fan returned to his tent, before he could sit down, he heard the sound of horns outside.

He quickly raised his spear and rushed up the city wall.

Liu Ben was no slower than him.

In the darkness, the flames in the distance were extremely conspicuous, and Yushakou fell into a sea of ​​flames.

If it's just that, the defenders here won't blow their trumpets.

What they saw, as well as those fire points, was retreating in the direction of the flying gate.

Those fire points came from the torches in the hands of the soldiers.

Obviously, General Mao and the others couldn't eat Yushakou, so they had to retreat. The retreat was fairly orderly at the moment, and if the situation got worse, they would flee.

The point of fire is to remind Guannei that they need rescue.

Liu Ben was so angry that he cursed.

Lin Fan calmly said to him: "According to what was discussed earlier, General Liu will guard the Feimen Gate, and I will lead the troops to rescue."

Knowing the severity, Liu Ben said "be careful".

The gate was wide open, and with the sound of drums, Lin Fan led the cavalry to rush out to rescue.

After this trip, all the soldiers did not return to the pass until dawn.

Regardless of wiping off the blood, Lin Fan shook his head towards Liu Ben who came out.

The loss was greater than the previous one.

General Mao's leg was injured, which was considered a minor injury, but this defeat dealt him a great mental blow.

It was obviously not suitable for Lin Fan to be an "afterthought" at this time, so Liu Ben supported General Mao to recuperate.

Count the battle damage and rest the troops.

When the pass was extremely busy, Feng Zhong led the army and arrived.

Lin Fan heard the news and hurried to meet him.

Feng Zhongzheng heard people talk about the situation last night, the more he listened, the more his eyes became starry, and when he saw Lin Fan approaching, he said anxiously: "Why don't you persuade General Mao?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Feng Zhong also knew it was inappropriate.

Firstly, Lin Fan was young, so he must have listened to the old man's opinion in judging the military situation; secondly, even if Lin Fan saw a problem, could he control Lao Mao?

The border is not the capital.

In terms of seniority, no matter how annoying Lin Fan is, even if he is a newcomer, he won't be able to annoy General Mao to death.

Feng Zhong patted Lin Fan on the shoulder: "I'm going to see General Mao."

　See you tomorrow, book friends~~
