Chapter 655: personal conquest
"The army of thieves is so powerful, no wonder the governor."
Lin Jinxiao glanced at He Ying and Zhang Yu, who were filled with anger, and comforted him calmly, "The most urgent thing is to bring back the governor first. After all, the governor is the only son of the general. A mistake, how will this king explain to the general."
When mentioning the general Tang Yao, Kang Xiu's face was filled with shame, and he said sadly: "Your Highness said very well, this time it is no fault of the governor, it is only the troublesome people of Changning County who colluded with the people of Baiyu, so that the governor Inadvertently sinking into the quagmire."
Although he said this on his lips, he knew very well in his heart that if the rebellion could not be quelled this time, it would be difficult for Tang Ru to gain a foothold in the state capital.
Thinking back when Princess Shu led five thousand cavalry, even Bai Yu's army of tens of thousands was ignored, but now Tang Ru personally led tens of thousands of Tang's troops, and let a group of rogues flee in all directions, it is really indignant.
The most important thing is that before he left, he also swore a military order.
When Li Ce saw that Kang Xiu, the captain of the Sili school, was still protecting Tang Ru at this time, the anger in his heart immediately filled his face, and he said frankly: "Master Sili's words are wrong. As the commander of the three armies in the state capital, the governor of the capital was defeated in the first battle." If you lose a battle, if you don’t deal with it strictly, how can you convince the people.”
"Bold, Deputy Captain, you are the son-in-law's official, you dare to make trouble at this time, what is your intention?"
Lin Jinqian, who was coming out of the Changliuyuan, heard Li Ce's voice, and led Tang Yuanxi and the female envoys over in strides, and sternly reprimanded Li Ce.
"It's not like the last one is going to hit the rocks."
Li Ce replied in a solemn voice: "It's just that Han Zhen, the prefect of Changning County, cheated and exploited the people all the year round, which caused the people's resentment to boil. This time, 80% of the disaster relief funds allocated by the state government went to Han Zhen and his county officials. In the bag, the whole county was starved and killed, and the governor went to the county without comforting him, but instead covered up the crimes of Han Zhen and others, which made the bandits grow stronger and stronger."
"Li Sanlang, you don't want to slander my son-in-law with empty words."
Lin Jinqian pointed at Li Ce and yelled, "It was just a defeat and lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. How can leading an army win every battle? Don't you, Li Sanlang, dare to boast that you won't lose a battle? A country wanderer , dare to accuse the dignified son-in-law, where does he have the guts?"
This remark directly angered everyone present, and even Kang Xiu had no choice but to persuade him bluntly: "Military orders are like mountains, Your Highness the Princess should not interfere in His Highness's military affairs, His Highness makes his own decision."
"Sister-in-law Wang can assist Brother Wang in state government affairs. As an imperial princess, how can I interfere with the safety of my son-in-law."
Lin Jinqian angrily sat down on the stone bench beside her, and said aggressively: "If Brother Wang doesn't send troops to help the son-in-law immediately today, this princess will die for you."
"Ahem."
Lin Jinxiao coughed softly. Regarding Lin Jinqian's aggressive behavior, he didn't show any anger on his face. Instead, he secretly laughed: "Of course I want to rescue the governor."
Kang Xiu was so angry that his blood surged up, but he didn't want to talk anymore.
This princess is stubborn and arrogant, and sooner or later she will kill her son-in-law. He has so much sadness in his heart that it is difficult to express it to others at this time.
Tang Li had no choice but to come forward and volunteered: "The final general is willing to personally lead the troops to Changning County to quell the rebellion."
"No, Your Highness."
He Ying immediately stopped him and said, "Now that the Dongsang people have made a comeback and have repeatedly harassed the border, if they send troops to Changning County again, I'm afraid the coastal defense will be unstable."
"Your Highness, the last general is willing to lead only 20,000 troops from his headquarters to help Changning County."
Tang Li gritted his teeth, and directly handed over the tiger amulet given by Tang Ru: "The final general will rescue the governor within ten days, and stop fighting."
"Okay, Tang Changshi, please issue a military order and immediately lead the troops to help Changning County."
Lin Jinxiao agreed to his request without hesitation.
Right now, he still needs some time to arrange the coastal defense matters of the counties. Tang Li is a strong general, and now he has taken the initiative to ask to go to Changning County, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. He can not only let the Captain's Mansion be completely under his control, but also let him go to Changning The county will entrust it for a while and a half to buy enough time for myself.
Seeing Brother Wang's compromise, Lin Jinqian finally felt relieved, and waited for Tang Li to finish writing the military order, then hurried out of the palace with Kang Xiuxing.
Tang Yuanxi was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes, and kowtowed agitatedly, "Thank you for your fulfillment, husband."
Hearing the piercing "Husband", Lin Jinxiao couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and silently led the rest of the people back to the main hall.
After taking his seat, Lin Jinxiao looked straight at Zhang Yu, the commander of the army, and said loudly: "General Zhang, if the king allocates 10,000 troops to you to defend the coast, once the Dongsang army invades, how long will you be able to hold out for? "
Zhang Yu gritted his teeth, cupped his fists and replied: "The general will be able to hold on for a month, so that the Dongsang bandits dare not step into the sea."
Lin Jinxiao nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, I've promoted you to be the chief envoy of coastal defense in Pingning Prefecture, and immediately lead the coastal defense battalion to Haining County to prevent Dongsang people from invading."
"Coastal Defense Battalion?"
Zhang Yu frowned: "Your Highness, those are all newly recruited troops."
And there are only three thousand people.
If he led the team that filled the royal guard, let alone 10,000, he would have the confidence to resist the enemy with only 3,000 people.
"That's right, it's the new army, plus there are just over 10,000 defenders stationed in various coastal defenses."
Lin Jinxiao smiled lightly.
He knew that Zhang Yu was not only brave, but also calmer than Chen Chuan and He Ying. Looking at the entire state capital today, only he can shoulder the heavy burden of guarding the rear.
Zhang Yu knew that His Highness needs to focus on quelling the rebellion in Changning County, and clasped his fists fiercely after deliberation: "The general is ordered, once the bandits invade, the general is willing to fight for His highness to the last moment, vowing to live and die with Haining County .”
"Okay, I trust you."
Lin Jinxiao smiled gratifiedly, waved his hand and said, "Go, set off immediately. If you can stick to Haining County for a month, on the day of triumph, this king will personally perform a performance to the court and ask for credit for you."
"Here."
Zhang Yu turned around with the determination to die.
After only He Ying and Li Ce were left in the palace, Lin Jinxiao continued to order: "He Ying, there are not many troops from our state capital that can be transferred to Changning County, and the nearest garrison to Changning County is Changyuan County. Quickly go to the prison to pick up Zheng Huan, go to Changyuan County together with him, take over the 30,000 infantry stationed here, and when the king arrives in Changning County, lead the army to join the king."
Knowing that this guy is just like Chen Chuan, he is an impatient person who dares to kill and rush, and now he needs such a loyal dead man to work hard, but he is afraid that this guy only wants to make meritorious deeds, so he said in a hurry: "Remember, no My king's tiger talisman, if anyone goes to Changyuan County for help, you can't send troops, you just need to guard the pass and do a good job with Zheng Junjian to comfort the people."
"Here."
Seeing that He Ying was finally able to lead the army, he was ecstatic, and hurriedly rushed out of the palace to prepare for the expedition.
Everyone has an errand, Li Ce couldn't bear it any longer, and asked urgently: "Brother, what about me?"
"you?"
Lin Jinxiao got up slowly, walked up to him and patted his thick shoulder heavily:
"Brother Yu is about to personally conquer Changning County. During my absence, you must completely gather the captain's mansion, and guard the state capital together with Sun Wucai and Peng Pai. I heard that King Qinghe has entered the capital. I am afraid that your brothers, sisters-in-law and nephews are now We have also arrived in Jingling City, this time we cannot let Tang Ru have another chance to stand up."
Although Li Ce was also anxious to go to battle to kill the enemy, but thinking of his sister-in-law's safety, he finally nodded heavily, and replied Yiran: "Please rest assured, brother, I will not disgrace my life."
