Just as Xie Xun thought about it, Xie Jue opened the curtain and came in. The originally noisy handsome tent was instantly quiet, only the sound of wind and snow outside the tent was heard, and the generals who were at the most violent place blushed, got up and talked with the second son salute.Xie Jue nodded coldly, sat down in his seat and asked, "What are you arguing about?"

When Xie Xun arranged the military affairs in the city, it happened to be enough for Xie Jue to sleep for more than an hour. When he woke up, the commander's tent was still arguing, and the main idea was to negotiate with Beiman.In the past, they would negotiate in every war, especially in winter. Although the Northern Man King and the Ningzhou Iron Cavalry fought fiercely and their hatred was as deep as sea, when the war came to a truce, both sides would keep their promises.When the winter is the coldest, there is usually a truce. The coldest time in Ningzhou has not yet passed, and the northern barbarians suddenly attacked. The situation is suspicious. Several old generals suggested to talk to the northern barbarians.

Xie Jue looked at Xie Xun. Lin Xiao, Zhang Boxing and others felt that Xie Jue's sense of oppression was very strong. They were under Xie Xun's jurisdiction and rarely dealt with Xie Jue. The kind of sharp-edged, not angry self-prestige is different, Xie Jue is even more frightening.

Xie Xun said in a deep voice, "There is nothing to talk about, just fight. I don't have such a good temper as my father. I talk while fighting. Since Dugujing wants to fight, he should fight hard. This time, he must fight Bei After the Shaling Tianshan Mountain!"

Xie Jue said, "General Chen and Xu Zhou, General Zhou, General Cui, and General Xiao Zhou stay here to discuss matters, and the others go out first!"

"Yes!"

Lin Xiao, Zhang Boxing, and Zhou Liyu got out of their tents and returned to their tents. The north city gate of Ningzhou is far away from the main city, and there are two camps. One is a camp made of wood and stones, similar to the houses in the city.It can accommodate more than 20 people. The other camp is the tent area. These two camps are outside the range of the catapults and crossbows outside the city. Lin Xiao, Zhang Boxing, and Zhou Liyu are all in the tent area.Ningzhou has been a military center for hundreds of years. It is a battleground and the terrain is dangerous. There are steep mountains around the north gate. Ningzhou cavalry can set up an ambush, and the left and right soldiers are stationed on the mountain.The urban area has undergone numerous expansions to separate the military area from the urban area. In terms of area, Ningzhou is the largest city in Yanyang.

Lin Xiao, Zhang Boxing, and Zhou Liyu lived in the same tent. All three of them were injured, but they were all skin traumas, but they were not very serious. Zhou Liyu had been healed of an arrow in his shoulder.When I got back to the tent, I lay down on the wooden bed dirty, and finally I could breathe a sigh of relief.After Xie Xun and Xie Jue came back, for some reason, everyone relaxed, as if they had a backbone after they came back.

Lin Xiao took off his armor, and the cotton clothes inside were all soaked. They went out to fight the enemy, sweating all over. Lin Xiao boiled hot water, mixed a little cold water at will, wiped the blood and sweat on his face, and changed into a clean suit. clothes.The three sons grew up in fine clothes and fine food, and after a few years of building roads, eating and sleeping in the open, they have long been different from the past, but they still retain some son-in-law styles in their bones.

Lin Xiao was scratched on his right arm, and the injury was not deep. During the war, he had to deal with such flesh and blood injuries by himself. There was no need to go to the military doctor. The military doctor was too busy to spare.So when they were building the road, Xie Xun gave them a manual, and all the guards in Kyoto had to learn how to be a good soldier.

Simple medicine is one of them.

"The northern barbarians are fine, why go to war?" Zhou Liyu got up, took off his armor, and changed his clothes. "They have a hard time in winter. It's strange that they came to attack Ningzhou!"

"Who knows." After the excitement of killing the enemy, Zhang Boxing's blood cooled down, and he gradually became sleepy. "The northern barbarians are really Yanyang's mortal enemies."

"It's the mortal enemy of the Ningzhou iron cavalry!" Lin Xiao said lightly, "If the imperial court is ruthless and sends troops to Yancheng, we will be attacked from the north and the south at the same time."

Zhou Liyu and Zhang Boxing were relieved instantly, "He's not so mad, is he?"

"The imperial court has trained many young generals in the past few years, just waiting for a day to fight us to the death." Lin Xiao said indifferently, "Such a good opportunity, Yu Wenjing will not let it go!"

The two were terrified, Zhou Liyu sighed and said, "If your brother is alive, maybe he is the leader..."

Before he finished speaking, he was kicked by Zhang Boxing. Zhou Liyu also realized that he had said something wrong. The tent fell silent for an instant, and Lin Xiao wiped his sword silently.

He rebelled against the capital and was expelled from his family. It was his heart's desire, and he didn't want to join forces with them.But family members will always be family members, not to mention his eldest brother has loved him since he was a child.Lin Xiao was extremely sad when he learned that Lin Sheng died in Yangzhou. Many people died in Yangzhou that year. It doesn't matter whether you are a royal or a commoner, everyone is equal before the epidemic.

Since leaving Beijing, he has not contacted his family, and now he does not know what happened to his parents and younger sister after the death of his elder brother. Lin Xiao has worked even harder since Lin Sheng's death, doing his best in everything, trying to be the best in everything, This time on the battlefield, he followed Xie Xun closely and went to battle to kill the enemy. He just wanted to gain a foothold quickly. Only when he made military exploits could he protect his family in the future.

Even if he is expelled from his family, after the world is settled, he still wants to protect them.

Three days later, the northern barbarians launched another violent siege. The built wall was smashed to pieces again, but they still only rushed outside the moat.Forced to retreat by fire and arrows, Ningzhou iron cavalry guarded the city gates. The hundreds of thousands of troops were clearly capable of fighting, but they closed the city gates and fought defensively. Ningzhou's defensive battle was very beautiful, and the northern barbarians suffered heavy casualties. No matter how provocative the northern barbarian army was, Ningzhou closed the city gates and only played defense instead of offense.

Under the extreme cold, the storm also hit quickly, and the wind howled outside the city. The corpses piled up at the gate of the city were frozen into ice and no one cleaned them up. Will pack up after melting.Every day, a few teams go out of the city to collect bows and arrows, battle armor, and the armor from the Beiman corpses will be directly stripped off and transformed into armor suitable for Ningzhou cavalry.

Both offense and defense have reached a stalemate, and this is bound to be a protracted battle.

Kyoto.

The news of the northern barbarian uprising soon spread to the capital, and Yu Wenjing was shocked. After receiving the battle report from Zhongzhou, Yu Wenjing asked the Qing family for their opinions in the Jinluan Hall.

Lin Heli also just found out that the northern barbarians had launched an army. In the past, the battle reports would be sent to the cabinet, which would be screened and sent to the imperial case. Now the battle reports are sent directly to Yu Wenjing. The cabinet already has eyeliners in various places in Yanyang, so it also has its own independent source of information. .

He still doesn't know the reason for the Northern Man's rebellion. It was too sudden. He just had a few conversations with Zhang Boju and Gu Jiaming. When Yu Wenjing asked, the officials all looked at Lin Heli, but the young generals showed a fighting spirit. boiling.

A young military general, Li Xiao, came out and knelt down to get out, "Your Majesty, the northern barbarians have raised troops, and the rebel Xie Xun, Xie Jue is overwhelmed. This is a god-sent opportunity. The imperial court should send troops to attack Ningzhou and take back the twelve prefectures. To share the emperor's worries and lead the army to go out."

After Li Xiao knelt down to ask for the battle, several generals knelt down and begged Yu Wenjing to send troops to Ningzhou.

The civil servants watched their noses and noses, and their noses watched their hearts. One by one was more silent than the other.Even if the aristocratic family has different interests in the past few years and each has its own game, it is definitely a united front in such a major event.All are centuries-old families with deep roots, no one wants to get involved in this matter and cause infamy.

Lin Heli remained silent, and Wen Chen turned into a quail.

Yu Wenjing leaned lazily on the dragon chair, and asked slowly, "What do Lin Qing think?"
