Lin Jue thought for a while and said, "Personally, I still insist that Yangwu County is the direction they want to attack. Now, although it is reported that the enemy situation has been discovered in Fengqiu, I have said that only by holding Yangwu County can we stop the passage to the west. I am skeptical about the hostility of Fengqiu. If you want me to stay and help you, I can't give you too much face. Originally, I was not in favor of dividing the troops, but now I want you to divide the troops into two ways. If I want to go to Fengqiu to meet the enemy, I can't stop it, but there must be soldiers and horses to rush to Yangwu County to defend it. I will go to Yangwu County, and you will go to Fengqiu to fight, and each of you will take a step back. ”

Guo Kun frowned and pondered for a long time, nodded and said, "It's okay, it's up to you." But the number of troops to Yangwu can't be too much. We are going to meet the enemy, and most of our soldiers and horses must go to Fengqiu to fight. In this way, I will let Wei Dakui take three hundred cavalry and seven hundred infantry to follow you to Yangwu, and you will wait for us in Yangwu County. After we defeated the bandits in Fengqiu, we rushed to Yangwu to join you, what do you think? ”

Lin Jue understood very well in his heart that Guo Kun's separation of these thousand soldiers and horses was actually to calm his own heart and gag his mouth, completely out of compromise with himself. In his mind, he simply thought it was redundant. If he really thinks that Yangwu is important, he will at least score three or five thousand soldiers and horses to go to Yangwu. These thousand soldiers and horses are completely perfunctory. But Lin Jue is not too much, those people are going to fight, and it is unreasonable to divide too many troops. It's better to have soldiers and horses to go to Yangwu County than nothing. After thinking about it in my heart, I could only agree. It's easy to pat your ass and leave, but if Yang Wu loses, the situation will be completely different.

Guo Kun announced the decision to divide the army, but he did not tell the truth, but divided 1,000 troops in the name of protecting the King of Jin and protecting the King of Jin to go to Yangwu. Otherwise, the king of Jin will go to Fengqiu with the army, not to mention the tossing people along the way, he himself is tired and bitter, which affects everyone's mood. No one objected to this move, and King Jin himself was very happy. I can go to Yangwu County as soon as possible to settle down, and the province suffers from the hot weather and bumpy roads. For Lin Jue to also go to Yangwu, the generals are not surprised. Lord Lin is a civil official and Guo Kun's brother-in-law, so he naturally has to take care of it. He went to war with him, and he was afraid that someone would protect him.

The only unhappy one among them is Wei Dakui, the head of the cavalry. Having lost the opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, it was really angry to follow Guo Mian and Lin Jue to Yangwu County to protect them. After the order was issued, Wei Dakui secretly scolded his mother dozens of times, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

At that moment, the army parted ways, 1,000 soldiers and horses continued to Yangwu County to the north, and the rest of the soldiers and horses turned to the southeast to go to Fengqiu County. But Lin Jue and the others walked north for an hour and the sky was getting dark. Wei Dakui was about to order to find a place to camp for the night, but Lin Jue stopped him.

"Wei Dutou, I think it's better for us to rush overnight. We only have a thousand soldiers and horses now, and it is not good for us to delay on the road. If the bandits knew about our division of troops and rushed to ambush and harass, it would be extremely tricky. You have to rush to Yangwu County as soon as possible. ”

"Bandits? Where are the bandits? Are you joking? The bandits are all in the sealed hills. Let's come to Yangwu County, where else are there any bandits? Lord Lin is really able to talk nonsense. Wei Dakui sneered.

Lin Jue didn't care, and said in a deep voice: "Wei Dutou can say whatever he wants, but your duty now is to protect His Royal Highness the King of Jin." The safety of His Royal Highness King Jin is the most important, if you think it doesn't matter, just be

When I didn't say. But I remind you, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, and don't forget the fate of Hou Changqing and the 500 forbidden army. I'm afraid that the thousands of us can't even stuff the teeth between others. ”

Wei Dakui was stunned, but he didn't dare to take it lightly. Hou Changqing's matter is shocking, Wei Dakui doesn't want to be the second. Although Wei Dakui was dissatisfied with today's division of troops, he was still meticulous in his work and did not dare to do nonsense. At that moment, he and Lin Jue went to see Guo Mian and asked to travel overnight.

Guo Mian was covered in sweat and exhausted. I thought I could camp and rest, but when I heard that I was going to rush overnight, I immediately waved my hand again and again to express my opposition. Lin Jue and Wei Dakui informed him of the risks they were facing, and although Guo Mian was tired, he didn't want to be attacked by the bandits, so he had to agree.

So, the crowd stumbled through the night of the march by the faint light of the waning moon in late July. Take a short break in the morning and continue on your way. Finally, in the morning, we arrived at the rugged sand dunes south of Yangwu County.

Yangwu County is actually very famous, there are several small hills in the northeast of the county, which are the remaining veins of the mountain. Most of these hills are hills of sand dunes and are full of thorns. The low-lying areas are swamped with water and grass, and are extremely desolate. There is a name known to the whole world here, which is called Bolangsa. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, everyone knew the story of Zhang Liang's assassination of the First Emperor in Bolangsha, so this barren county also had a little fame.

Yangwu County is actually a very barren small county, during the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties, almost every few years, the Yellow River flooded. The Yellow River, which had been diverted due to flooding, flooded directly from the low-lying areas north of Yangwu County. Even the river sand is overflowing, the sand dunes are all over the place, and the grass is overgrown with thorns. The people were also unable to farm. Because often the fruits of hard work will be washed away by a flood. Since the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, flood control has been quite effective. In the past 100 years, the flooding of the Yellow River has rarely happened. However, the former yellow sand mounds were not easy to dispose of, and the cultivated land was very small. On the contrary, a complex terrain has been formed in the territory, which has become a relatively peculiar phenomenon in the northern part of the city.

The entire county is located on a high ground, and it looks like a pass. It is surrounded by a number of puddles, sand and dune mounds. For more than ten miles into the county, it is basically this kind of terrain. Fortunately, there are official roads to communicate, but it does not have much impact on the march of soldiers and horses. However, the official road is guarded by the county seat, and if the official road is detached, if you want to pass through the county border, there is no way to go, whether it is north and south or east and west. Therefore, although Yangwu County is barren, it has become a checkpoint in the east-west direction. If you want to go west from the east, you must seize the county seat of Yangwu before you can pass quickly through the Chi Road. Otherwise, you will have to find your way through the thorny swamps of the sand dunes, endure the danger of being attacked by poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, and the danger of falling into the swamp at any time.

Six or seven miles away from the county seat, there was smoke burning on the mounds, and it was obvious that there were people on those mounds to monitor the situation in the county. Lin Jue praised this, and Zhao Youji, the county magistrate of Yangwu County, seemed to be a meticulous person. He made arrangements.

Wei Dakui rode to contact, and soon after, the south gate of the county was opened, and the county commander Zhao Youji rode a horse with dozens of various fast arresting officials and regimental training horses out to greet him.

"Xiaguan Zhao Youji visited His Royal Highness the King of Jin, but he can look forward to you." Zhao Youji is a clear-faced

The handsome middle-aged man has a very calm demeanor, and even in front of King Jin, he doesn't seem to have a sense of groveling.

Guo Mian, the king of Jin, was almost half tired and half dead this night, sitting on a horse with a blue face and a shaky body. He only waved his hand and said weakly: "Mo is polite, let's enter the city quickly." But I'm going to tire the king to death. Zhao Youji, you hurry up and arrange a place for me to live, I have to sleep well. ”

Zhao Youji was stunned, a little embarrassed. This King of Jin didn't ask anything when he saw him, and he was going to sleep in the city, what is the reason?

Lin Jue explained for Guo Mian on the side: "Lord Zhao, we have been on a journey all night without resting, from last night to now, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has not been touched, and the grain of rice has not been eaten, which is really hard." It is necessary to let His Highness rest and recover his strength earlier before he can cope with the next situation. For other things, Wei Dutou and Zai Xia discussed with Lord Zhao. I will report back to His Royal Highness King Jin. ”

Zhao Youji hurriedly said: "Okay, well, I will ask His Highness to lead a large army into the city, and the lower officials will immediately vacate the county government to let His Highness rest." ”

Everyone immediately pulled out, and Zhao Youji rode his horse beside Lin Jue, stretching his neck to look at the teams in front and behind. Lin Jue knew what he meant, and said with a smile: "Don't look at Lord Zhao, we have a thousand soldiers and horses." ”

Zhao Youji was stunned and said, "Huh? Is it only a thousand soldiers? ”

Wei Dakui frowned and said, "What?" Don't you hate us? Is a thousand forbidden troops still less? You don't have any hostility here, and the shadow of the bandits is gone, so why do you want the imperial court to send hundreds of thousands of troops to protect your small county? ”

Zhao Youji hurriedly said: "Xiaguan didn't mean that. Xiaguan is not for my Yangwu County. The news that the lower officials got was that the imperial court didn't send a large army to quell the rebellion? I thought it had to be at least an army of 10,000 people. Hence this question. ”

Lin Jue said with a smile: "Fengqiu County found that a large number of bandits gathered, and they had the intention of attacking Fengqiu. Therefore, the army set out for Fengqiu. Our 1,000 people are escorting His Royal Highness the King of Jin to Yangwu, waiting to join the army. ”

Zhao Youji's face was solemn, and he twisted his beard and groaned: "I see." But...... How could there be a large group of bandits in Fengqiu? It's kind of weird. If they want to attack, they will also attack our Yangwu County. ”

Lin Jue's heart moved, and he asked with a smile: "How can you see it?" ”

Zhao Youji said: "My Yangwu County is the passage to the west, the imperial court sent a large army to quell the rebellion, the bandits will not be able to fight, and they will definitely intend to escape." The only thing they could do was to go west, to Hetao, Xixia, Fengxiang and other places. The first thing to do is to attack my Yangwu. If they don't realize this, they will be quickly wiped out. In any case, it is impossible to attack Fengqiu County. That doesn't do them any good. ”

Wei Dakui said on the side: "Hey, what you said is the same as what Lord Lin said. Did you two discuss this matter? How do you say that? ”

Zhao Youji was surprised: "Who?" Who is Lord Lin? ”

Wei Dakui rolled his eyes and said, "I've been talking to you for a long time, and you don't even know who he is." This is Lord Lin, Lord Lin of the Criminal Division of Kaifeng Mansion. Far away, close at hand. ”

Zhao Youji was stunned for a moment, looked at Lin Jue in surprise and said, "It turns out ...... It turns out that you are Lord Lin Juelin. Last year's spring was the champion of my big week? ”

Lin Jue arched his hand and smiled: "Don't dare, it's just down." ”
