Lin Jue's voice was low and hoarse, and he continued: "If I were Guo Xu, I would not let this end the matter. I'll do everything I can to make it up. How to make up for it? Letting Hai Dongqing go is one way. simply made the situation worse, let Hai Dongqing escape with his soldiers and horses, and gave him a hope that he could regroup. Forced him to break through. Let him fight to the death with King Jin. If Hai Dongqing can coerce the die-hard cultists from the rest of the state capitals on Jingxi Road to the west, we will only be forced to fight. The dying beast must be extremely vicious, and this battle is extremely dangerous. If we lose, all the credit we have done before will be in vain. Maybe in Guo Xu's heart, it is best if King Jin is killed by Hai Dongqing, then it will be a hundred. Even if the King of Jin did not die, he would not only bear the reputation of defeat, but also bear the huge fault of allowing the bandits to break through and escape. This is a chance to turn the situation around, if you were Guo Xu, would you choose to do this? ”

Guo Kun was stunned. The scene depicted by Lin Jue is terrifying. This plan is also extremely vicious, making people get goosebumps all over their bodies, and feel the most terrifying chill from their hearts. Guo Kun never imagined that there was such a design in this, which he couldn't consider in his pampered mind anyway.

He ...... He...... Guo Xu, how dare he do this? That's ...... Brave the world's condemnation. How dare he be? He...... Would he do that? Guo Kun stammered.

Lin Jue looked at him and sneered, Guo Kun was still too naïve, or too incompetent. So he can't make it to the climate, because he is actually not decisive and vicious enough. Therefore, like his father, he only dared to think in his heart, but he did not dare to act on it. Or maybe they don't have any plan of action at all.

"As I said, the reward behind it is the Jiangshan Sheji of the Great Zhou, which is worth gambling everything. If he didn't gamble, he would be further and further away from the throne of the crown prince. To turn the situation around, he must make a decisive move, and he must be desperate. Although I don't know much about Guo Xu, the limited contact still gives me some impression of him, and he definitely does it. Lin Jue said.

"You...... You're just speculating, aren't you? You're not sure he'll do that, are you? Guo Kun swallowed and foamed.

"Nothing can be 100% certain, but my words are not imaginary. I thought of all this when you told me that Ying Tiancheng was broken, but Hai Dongqing ran under his nose. Hai Dongqing didn't break through and ran away, but Guo Xu deliberately let him run. Guo Xu should have thought about it in his heart a long time ago, and conquering Ying Tianfu was not enough to save the situation that was unfavorable to him. He has been given the upper hand by the King of Jin. He could have sent cavalry to chase and kill, could Hai Dongqing's men and horses withstand the pursuit of thousands of cavalry? He didn't, and I think he's decided to go down that path. Lin Jue said softly.

Guo Kun picked up the wine jar and poured a few sips. The wine poured down and drenched his shirt. He gasped and swallowed and propped on the table, "Dog, this dogthing really dares to do this." This is a thief. We've got to expose him, we can't let him do that. By the way, he doesn't attack? If we sit and watch Hai Dongqing attack us, won't he escape suspicion? ”

Lin Jue sneered: "Uncle, this is not simple? Of course he will attack. It's just that it will not attack, and slowly force Hai Dongqing towards us step by step. He's going to make an offensive stance, but maybe he'll be a little late, and he'll arrive with a large army when we're all done. These things are too easy to do. ”

Guo Kun stretched his neck and said: "Then we shouldn't be fools, let's hurry up and return to the court, we don't care." We don't deserve to be wronged. ”

Lin Jue laughed loudly. He was speechless about Guo Kun's naivety.

"If we could go, what would we say? Look at it, the imperial court will come to the will, asking us to stick to this place and cooperate with Guo Xu to exterminate the bandits. If the bandits on Jingxi Road have not been completely exterminated, how can we be allowed to withdraw? Besides, would you like to see the bandits drive west and flee? That's irresponsible to the Great Zhou Jiangshan Sheji. Guo Xu is afraid that he would like us to do this, and in that case, a big hat will be buttoned down. The responsibility for the defeat of the bandits is also borne by King Jin and us. ”

Guo Kun is also fast-talking, in fact, he doesn't know that without the order of the imperial court, they can't return to the court. He sat for a long time, frowned and thought for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Lin Jue, in this way, aren't we in an extremely dangerous situation?" If Hai Dongqing really wants to break through, he will fight us to the death. If Guo Xucheng wants us to die, he will not rescue us. You say, what should we do now? ”

Lin Jue thought for a while and said, "For today's plan, the only way to do this is to prepare early. I suggest that you immediately give the order to assemble your troops and horses and prepare for battle in advance. We must prepare all kinds of supplies for food, grass, weapons, and find a place that is advantageous for us to fight with. I hope we will spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, Guo Xu doesn't do it, if he really has such an idea, we don't mind taking Hai Dongqing and taking this great credit for sending it to the door. ”

Guo Kun said happily: "You mean, are you sure you can win?" Didn't you say we're going to be in big trouble this time? It is also said that Haidong Youth will coerce tens of thousands of bandits or even more. We're a little bit of a person...... Can it be done? ”

Lin Jue said: "As long as we are well prepared, our army of nine thousand is still afraid of that rabble?" The premise of what I said before was that Hai Dongqing coerced the bandits to attack suddenly, and we were defenseless. But if we are well prepared, where are we afraid of him? The time is on me, because now we are not in a hurry, it is Hai Dongqing who is in a hurry. People and me, our morale is high now, the power of the new victory is still there, and the morale is high. What is lacking now is location. We can't give up the five counties and retreat to Yangwu County, which is a good location. The five county towns are not enough to defend the barrier, so the top priority is to find a strong city that can be resisted, which can not only rely on its defense, but also the only way for the other party to go west. ”

Guo Kun smacked his lips and said, "Then where should we choose?" You've said you can't go back to Yangwu. ”

Lin Jue said: "Xingren Mansion is a good choice, its geographical location is just stuck in the five counties of Jingbei and the key point of Jingxi Road. After the road to the south was blocked, the bandits could only break through to the west from Xingrenfu. This is one of them. The second is that Xingrenfu Road is still in the hands of my Great Zhou, and Xingrenfu is the only state capital on Jingxi Road that has not fallen, which shows that the Guangji Army stationed in Xingrenfu is combative, although their number is only more than 5,000, and I am afraid that it is less than 3,000 at the moment, but this shows that the officials and leading generals of the army in Xingrenfu have not compromised. In the case that all sides were attacked by bandits, they were able to insist on Xingren Mansion without losing it, which shows that the city is strong and they use their lives up and down. If our army enters Xingren Mansion in advance, we can join forces with the Guangji Army and hold the city. Blocking Hai Dongqing's way is by no means an extravagant hope. ”

Guo Kun slapped his hands and said: "Yes, Xingren Mansion has not been captured by the bandits, which means that its city is strong and strong, enough to resist it, isn't this a geographical advantage?" But...... Let's enter Xingren Mansion...... The court didn't make an order. If we do this, Guo Xu will definitely not agree. That's the boundary of Jingxi Road. ”

Lin Jue said: "Let's still follow the original plan and gather the soldiers and horses in Yuwanting County, which is only half a day away from Xingren Mansion. In this way, you can drive into Heungin Mansion at any time. If Hai Dongqing wants to come west, he must first take Xingren Mansion. As soon as the Xingren Mansion is attacked, they will ask us for help, and we can enter the Xingren Mansion in the name of justice. If some of it doesn't happen, we won't be left with an excuse. In addition, Guo Xu is a smart person, once we enter Xingren Mansion, he will probably immediately understand that we have seen through his intentions, and he will be startled. If he wants to do that dirty thing, we might as well let him do it and teach him to lose his money, not only did he not have the merit of the first battle, but in the end, he did not even take the credit for capturing the bandit leader. This is called a plan for a plan, so that he will lose all his money. ”

Guo Kun looked at Lin Jue stunned for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Lin Jue, it seems that you support King Jin as the crown prince." Listening to your tone and arrangement, this is to make a big contribution to King Jin as the crown prince. ”

Lin Jue smiled slightly and said: "I don't take a stand, whoever sits on the throne of the prince has nothing to do with me." But although Guo Xu is dealing with the King of Jin, it will inevitably affect you and me. I can't pretend to be confused and wait to die. I'm here to save myself. I don't have a relationship with King Huai of Jin, but at the moment we are in the same boat with King Jin, he is defeated, and we are all unlucky, so I can only do this. Don't think I'm involved in the prince's position. ”

Guo Kun nodded and said, "I understand, but I can be honest with you, I support King Jin." If King Huai becomes the crown prince, my father and I are afraid that we will have no place to live in the future. ”

How could Lin Jue not understand what Guo Kun meant, Guo Xu is Lu Zhongtian's grandson, Lu Zhongtian and Guo Bing are hostile to each other, if Guo Xu becomes the emperor, it is not what Guo Bing and Guo Kun's father and son want to see. In fact, according to this logic, Lin Jue should also be on the side of King Jin. It's just that Lin Jue has the shadow of the previous life, and the competition for the position of the prince has led to the destruction of more than 100 members of the Lin family in the previous life, and Lin Jue naturally instinctively avoided making a choice in this matter.

"Do you want to report this matter to King Jin? Otherwise, he would have thought he would have had peace of mind. We also want him to know that we are sharing his worries. Guo Kun asked. 、

Lin Jue shook his head and said, "Don't say it, King Jin can't hide it, don't leak the news." After all, so far, everything is speculation. If we make a fuss, is it not our fault? Besides, even if King Jin knew, what could he do? What about it but to cause panic? Just let him happily stay in the dark, and when things really develop like this, he will naturally understand. ”

Guo Kun nodded and said, "What I said is that I will send someone tomorrow to order the soldiers and horses going to the two northern counties to assemble in Wanting immediately." It should be no problem to arrive within three days. ”

Lin Jue said: "Don't be in a hurry, Hai Dongqing needs time, Guo Xu will also give him time, and he shouldn't have a seizure within ten days." However, we need to use these ten days to replenish more grain and grass materials. Also, it is best to meet with the officials of the Heungin Mansion and have a good time. lest the time go wrong. In short, everything should be thoughtful and meticulous, and it should not be fanfare, let Hai Dongqing hit a piece of iron plate headlong, and make Guo Xu unconscious. ”
