Chapter 38: The Tiger Returns to the Mountain
Lin Jian held a banquet for Saga Yoriwon in Jeju City to wash the dust.
During the banquet, he had to deal with Saga Yuan, Chi Guan, and Jinye at the same time, and after the banquet, he walked back to the back house, and Lin Jian also felt exhausted.
Song Jia was tidying up the documents under the candle, and before she went back to her room to rest, the little sisters of the Zuo family stood around. Under the lamp and candle, Song Jia has a gorgeous complexion; The sisters have not taken off their childish color, their faces are beautiful, compared with Song Jia's calamity, they are not beautiful, what is rare is that the sisters' appearance is extremely small, and their skin is extremely fair, reflecting the candle flame, like the first snow.
Song Jia saw Lin Jian walking in and said with a smile: "You can't let Saga Yorigen and Jinno kill each other in Jeju. If you let Saga Yorigen kill Kongo Tsuno, you can only support the Saga clan to destroy the Kongo clan; The reverse is also true. You also have to prevent Chi Zhou from bribing Tsuno from Kogo Tsuno and killing Saga Yorigen at sea......"
"Alas!" Lin Jian sighed with a headache, others were shocked through the tiger body, and everything was solved, but he was far from being so easy. When the position is low, he can draw the knife quickly, after all, there is less involvement; Nowadays, the more powerful it is, the more complex the stakes are involved, and it is necessary to be more cautious.
"I hope Chi Zhou won't be so stupid," Lin Jian rubbed his head and sat down, and said, "After making an alliance, I will drive all three of them away, and I don't have to worry about these things!" ”
"Why don't you let Zuo Lan pinch your shoulder?" Song Jia said, "Yang or let the congratulatory gift sent by the Irie clan serve you?" ”
"It's not so delicate," Lin Lian waved his hand, he said so, Zuo Lan, the elder sister of the little sisters, moved behind him, her delicate and soft little hand on his neck tendon, with a lanlan-like breath spitting, Lin Lian didn't refuse, and said to Song Jia, "Speaking of the Jiang clan." Saga Yorigen's wings are stiff, and he is destined to be greedy for the Irie clan, and this congratulatory gift from the Irie clan is better to return. ”
"Women are really pitiful, the more beautiful they are, the more they fight for you men. That little girl, or the daughter of the Irie clan, didn't she give it as a gift or flattering item at the end of the day? Even if you stay, what kind of hidden danger can a soft and weak girl be? Song Jia persuaded, "Maybe it won't be too unbearable to join the Jiang clan, and there will be chess pieces available at that time......
Lin Jian knocked on the door of his head, remembering the girl called Irie Ayaori, who spoke Chinese in a round and correct manner, obviously she was only an eleven or twelve-year-old childish girl, but under the skirt she puffed up the breasts of a mature woman, but there was a charming attitude in her innocent face, which was really demonic. It's not that he is afraid that such a girl will have any hidden dangers if she stays, mainly because he is afraid of bringing it back to Xiaoman to ridicule.
"Sending it back is just an item in the hands of the Irie clan to gather and curry favor with others, who knows how bleak the fate will be in the future. It's always a blessing for her to be by your side. Song Jia said.
"It's not good to send a congratulatory gift, but I want to send a girl to support!" Lin Jian shook his head and sighed, "Then you should stay and take your salary." ”
is so stunning, the powerful naturally regard it as a treasure that is hard to find, but Lin Jian does not have the habit of taking out girls for cash, so he thinks that it is far more affordable for the Irie clan to send a girl over as a congratulatory gift.
It is quite common for powerful people to give beautiful maids to each other, and even giving concubines to others also happens from time to time, and it will be passed on as a beautiful talk.
The envelopment and curry favor between forces and forces, and it is more common to send women. Even if it is difficult to directly control the woman who sent it out, the woman is weak-minded, and as long as she thinks of her original family and homeland, there is still an impact on the pillow.
As soon as Lin Jian came to Danluo Island, the Li family sent four girls to serve, and at this time, the Irijiang clan selected a young girl from the clan to send it, and the world is accustomed to it.
"If you don't mention it, I forgot that I still receive a salary, that little girl is raised by me, I have already raised two, and I am not bad to raise another one," Song Jiayan smiled and said, "Compared to these headaches, there is good news, you can take a look at ......" Song Jia took out an urgent letter from the desk and handed it to Lin Bin.
Lin Jian took a look at it, laughed, and said, "The Prime Minister of Goryeo is not slow, and he pulled a new governor out of Haiyang County so quickly. You accompany me to meet Zhen Feng! ”
***********
Zhen Feng was placed under house arrest in a wooden building made of logs.
Built halfway up the mountain, this wooden building is unpretentious and spacious, overlooking the blue sea outside Jeju Port. Although I can't get out of the yard, as long as I don't have any distractions in my heart, there is no inconvenience in living in a wooden building. The previous guards also had ten people allowed to stay and serve, and as the generals of the defeated army and the prisoners of the ranks, there was nothing to be dissatisfied with.
The minister of state and all the ministers of the country were subservient to Donghu, and Goryeo had no possibility of negotiating peace with Huaidong.
Zhen Feng didn't have any expectations for his future fate, he waited for death with peace of mind, his mind calmed down, and at dusk he also wrote a quite complacent sentence like "In early spring, tired birds chirp, and the red light of the sunset dyes all over the mountains and forests". Zhen Feng neatly transcribed the occasional sentences of his recent wonderful hands on paper, and asked the guards to put them away, maybe he could bring them back to Goryeo and leave a memory for his family.
At this time, a group of cavalry galloped from a distance, and soon reached the downstairs, and when the generals dismounted, the armor made a loud noise. Zhen Feng said to the guards: "You tell the outsiders that I have fallen asleep!" ”
Zhen Feng only wants to die, others can descend to Huaidong, but he alone can't.
Defeat is not a matter of concern, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, but greedy for life and afraid of death, if Huaidong is surrendered, it will only become a laughing stock recorded in the history of the Goryeo Kingdom. Besides, he descended to Huaidong, how can Zhen's children in Haiyang escape from Zhulian? It's all come to this point, what else is there that can't be seen through life and death?
Zhen Feng only thought that someone from the Huaidong Army came over to persuade him to surrender, so he ordered the guards to block people out of the door.
The guard went downstairs to block the frame, and after a while, he walked back and said, "The leading martial arts school said that this person must be seen...... They cleared the west hall and asked the governor to go to the west hall and wait. If you return to the county governor, you have to go downstairs to give centralized supervision! ”
"Ahh Zhen Feng was slightly stunned, and couldn't understand what Lin Lian, who hadn't shown up for a long time, came to see him at this time.
Zhen Feng sorted out his clothes and walked to the west hall of the wooden building. At this time, the protection and vigilance of the entire wooden building were taken over by the cavalry guards who had just arrived. In the woodland outside the wooden building, there are also people crowding and setting up sentry posts - in Jeju City, only the forest can enjoy such a strict guard.
Zhen Feng waited for a moment under the lantern and candle in the West Hall, and then heard the sound of ruts driving into the courtyard, Zhen Feng was stunned, and said secretly: Why does Lin Jian need to take a carriage over? Under the surveillance of the guards of the Huaidong Army, Zhen Feng endured his curiosity and did not go to the window to look at the courtyard. Then I heard the footsteps of going upstairs, and after a while, I saw Lin Jian and a beautiful little woman in palace clothes walking in.
Zhen Feng secretly thought to himself who this woman was? Lin Jian will not be interested, and take the pet Ji to tour the mountains and forests at night, right?
Zhen Feng's gaze stopped on the little woman's face for a moment, then he looked at Lin Jian who was walking in front, and saluted: "The envoy is here to urge Zhen to die?" ”
"Governor Zhen is so anxious to die?" Lin Jian shook his head and smiled, "Governor Zhen is going to be disappointed, I just heard a piece of news, and I feel the need to tell you: Zuo Jing, the prime minister of Goryeo, recently ordered Kim Seung-yue, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to serve as the governor of Haiyang County. I don't know how Governor Zhen felt when he heard the news. ”
"When I was trapped in Xiguipu City, the Minister of State should have appointed a new governor to preside over the military and civil affairs of Haiyang County, and I failed the trust of the Minister of State," Zhen Feng Gujing said without wave, "The envoy made a special trip to tell me the news, and Zhen thanked him." ”
"When Zhen Feng was trapped in Xiguipu City, did he really think that Goryeo should submit to Donghu and devote the strength of a country to fight to the death with my Huaidong on Danluo Island?" Lin Jian asked.
"Governor Zhen, please use tea!" Song Jia personally brewed the tea and brought it to Zhen Cover.
Zhen Feng couldn't help but glance at this beautiful little woman again, speculating about her relationship with Lin Lian. gave Song Jia such a fork, but Zhen Feng didn't directly push back Lin Lian's question. At the beginning, he and 4,000 soldiers from Haiyang County were trapped in Seogwipo City, and they were counting on the rescue from home.
Of course, there are several kinds of rescue.
Before the contradiction with Huaidong intensifies, it is also a strategy to send important ministers to hide from the Donghu people, secretly negotiate peace with Huaidong, and redeem more than 4,000 Haiyang soldiers.
It is also a policy to organize a naval army and recruit civilian boats to rush to the ferry, and to count as many people as you can take back.
Subservient to the envoys of Donghu and gathering tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to cross the sea to help, it is the most unwise way to save it.
Unable to compete with the Jinghai camp at sea, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses suddenly crossed the sea and gathered in Seogwipo City, especially after Tsushima Island was attacked and captured by the Dakou Chi Xuan and the Saga clan's coalition army, Zhen Feng had no choice but to fight in a hurry.
After thinking about it, the Huaidong Army held the initiative in the development of the war situation, and no matter how it fought, it was the inevitable defeat of Goryeo. It's a hate, it's a pity that tens of thousands of reinforcements have almost gathered the elite combat power of the three southern counties, and they are so easily consumed.
Goryeo was defeated, but the Donghu people were happy to see it, and Goryeo's national strength was gradually consumed, and the possibility of breaking away from the control of the Donghu people was getting weaker and weaker.
Zuo Jing, the prime minister of the state, has become the echo worm of the Donghu people and the national thief of the Donghu people who betrayed the interests of Goryeo...... It is not difficult for Zhen Feng to imagine that under the control of the Donghu people, the state minister Zuo Jing will suppress domestic opposition and concentrate the national power of Goryeo in a meaningless war with Huaidong.
What's the point of saying that? Didn't he first resist Qin Zitan's instigation and send troops to Danluo Island to drag Goryeo into this meaningless war?
If you want to talk about worry, Zhen Feng is most worried that Prime Minister Zuo Jing will put the blame for the defeat on his head, so that the Zhen family in Haiyang will be implicated.
Zhen Feng was distracted, Lin Jian and Song Jia glanced at each other, and it was not difficult to guess what he was thinking. Lin Jian smiled and asked, "What's the matter, Governor Zhen remembered the little lady at home?" When I went to Haidong, I also heard that Governor Zhen's little lady was the first national color of Goryeo! ”
Zhen Feng's eyes were gloomy and he did not respond to Lin Bin's question. He couldn't help himself at this time, just waiting for death, and he couldn't care about whether the Haiyang Zhen family would be implicated, let alone Xiao Mi's fate in the future.
"Goryeo has served our dynasty for two hundred years as a monarch and minister, and recently succumbed to the iron hooves of the East and switched to the court, which is really helpless, and the Dayue Emperor can also understand. And you led the people to invade Danluo, and it was very disrespectful, so I was ordered to lead the Huaidong army to come as a punishment, don't think that there is no one in my court," Lin Lianrong said solemnly, "I am a state of etiquette, and after punishment, I don't want the war to expand, increase casualties, and the war will last for a long time, and it will also hurt the people." After sending Governor Zhen back to Goryeo, I will also return to Huai'an. If Governor Zhen can't get a lesson, he will lead his troops to fight Danluo, and I will accompany him one day! ”
When Zhen Feng heard that Lin Jian was going to let him go back to Goryeo, he was stunned, and then he broke out in a cold sweat, sat down at the table, and said: "Zhen Feng's crime is extremely evil, I don't want to be lenient, please give me death!" ”
"I'll let you go back, it's strange that you don't want to live but to die." The corners of Lin Bin's mouth curled and he laughed.
"I met the envoy on the battlefield and there was no old grudge, why did the envoy put my Zhen clan to death!" Zhen Feng asked awe-inspiringly. He died in the battle on Danluo Island or executed the Dayue Dynasty, Zhen may have a glimmer of life, if he is sent back to China alone, how can he not give Minister Zuo Jing a scapegoat to take responsibility for the defeat?
At that time, the Zhen family will be the scourge of extermination.
Zhen Feng stared at Lin Tie coldly, and he didn't know why Lin Tie wanted to put him Zhen to death.
"I want to put the Zhen family to death, it's useless for you to go on a hunger strike and commit suicide," Lin Jian laughed and said, "As you said, I have no old grudges with Zhen Governor, why do you want to put the Zhen family to death?" I want to ask you: If you really want to, I will execute you in Jeju, will Zuo Jing let the Zhen family go? ”
"The system enables Zhen to die, and Zhen is under Jiuquan, and he will also be grateful!" Zhen Feng said.
"I'll let you go back," Lin Jian stood up and said, "Not only will I let you go back, but I will also let all the three thousand Haiyang soldiers go back with you!" You've thought it through, and you'll get back to me tomorrow. Instructed the guard, "Leave a knife for Governor Zhen, if Governor Zhen is reluctant to die, bring him to see me tomorrow!" Sleeve and Song Jia left the Westinghouse and left the wooden building.
