The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Daiyu originally thought that seeing her brother would be embarrassing, but when she actually saw her brother, she found it boring - what she saw was not King Jing of Beijing, and it was absolutely impossible for her to see him.Although this person is really everywhere, as if they can't avoid it everywhere, in fact, this person is still quite far away from them.

But her brother was very close to her.Smiling and personable.

"How was the palace yesterday?" Lin Mo asked her.

Daiyu smiled and said, "That's right. It's not like my brother hasn't been there before."

Lin Mo did go there, but he was responsible for making people feel uncomfortable, so he just smiled and rubbed the top of his sister's head: "Okay, let's have breakfast."

Now there are few people going to court. Shui Rong spent half a day in the Jingyuan Hou's mansion, but he couldn't stand the constant urging from his family. Although he was reluctant to leave, he finally went back. Today his sisters are going back to their mother's house Come on, it's not good that he's not here.Lin Mo smiled: "Okay, you can go back, I have nothing to do tomorrow, I will go to your house to find you at night."

Shui Rong happily said: "Really?"

"Naturally." Lin Mo said.

It's just that he didn't go after all.Not only did he not go, even Shui Rong hurriedly got off the banquet for his brother-in-law and nephew, and entered the palace overnight.

Beidi attacked Mohe overnight, and the officials and people who were busy celebrating the New Year were caught off guard. The general of the Fuguo State, Xi Songxi, was seriously injured.More than three hundred people died and six thousand were injured.The whole army retreated three miles and closed the gate of Mohe.

The worst thing was that it was supposed to be very lively that day, and many people were still outside trading horse food with Beidi people.

Lin Mo frowned when he heard the words "Bai Shiyue was captured". Later, almost everyone was looking at him.He didn't realize it.With a cold face, the emperor asked: "That's good. What do you want to say?"

Lin Mo didn't seem to hear it, but he couldn't stand the fact that everyone was looking at him. King Zhao stood in front of him and even gave him a hand. Then he woke up like a dream, and played: "Your Majesty, Qianxue, Gaoli's Is the envoy still in Beijing?"

The emperor nodded: "Honghe Temple."

The master of Honglu Temple hurriedly stood up: "My lord, Koryo also has a New Year's custom. Their prince has returned to the country, but the prince's teacher is still in Beijing, and Qian Xueguo" he didn't know whether to say it properly.

"Say!"

"A few days ago, the Ministry of Rites said that one of Qianxue's envoys was missing. After investigation by the minister, it was indeed one missing."

Suddenly someone started talking.Qian Xueguo and this court have never dealt with each other very much, and have always harbored evil intentions.A husband of the queen died on the battlefield.Although they surrendered now, their attitude has not been clear enough. Now that they came to the capital, they actually left an envoy by themselves.

After hearing the discussion, Lin Mo hurriedly said: "It's my minister who didn't speak well. I just want to say that the less people know about this matter, the better, especially not to let foreign envoys know. It doesn't matter what country they are from."

"Dai Quan." The emperor called out, "Count the number of people in our imperial study now."

In fact, there is no need to count, everyone knows that there are more than sixty people in all provinces, ministries and prefectures.There was no room for sitting in the cramped imperial study room, one by one stood up to discuss matters, and they couldn't even drink a cup of tea.

"You don't need to talk about the crusade here. You all have wonderful pens and flowers. You can write so that people retreat without fighting. That's your skill." The emperor said, "Save the effort of verbal criticism and pen criticism, and tell me about it. This matter What's the trick. King Han, tell me first."

King Han is in charge of the military department, but he is not a person who likes to stand out in the open, so he quickly pushed Yuwen Shangshu out of the military department.

Yu Wenqian said it sincerely: "Your Majesty, I am afraid it is too late to transfer troops. Why don't you transfer the troops from Crane City to support?" Someone immediately retorted: "Crane City has no battles all year round. They are veterans who are injured and sick. Not in time, can you solve this urgent need?"

"Ministry of Industry?" The emperor interrupted their discussion.

Ma Cong stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the horse bow and arrows are ready, and the catapults and muskets should have arrived at Crane City by now."

"House Department."

Cao Shangshu said: "Back to the emperor, there is enough food, grass and horses, and they can support you at any time."

They were methodical one by one, and Yu Wenqian sounded outrageous.Why did they all seem to be prepared, as if they had already expected this battle?With such a comparison, it seems that their Ministry of War is outrageous.

"Are you sure you can keep up with the grain and grass?" the emperor asked again.

Cao Shangshu said: "I dare to take the head of the item as a guarantee."

The emperor pondered for a while: "What if the two sides fight at the same time?"

These words startled everyone.

What is the meaning of the two sides fighting at the same time?

Just as he was terrified, Lin Mo came out: "Returning to the emperor's words, judging from the grain storage, if the Mohe war can be retreated within three months, it will be enough. If it takes half a year, then I will try to mobilize granaries from various places to support the war together." But if it takes more than half a year, then the businessman and the adults will probably need to contribute as well." He said it so leisurely, it was not very urgent, and it seemed that it could be supplied.

And everyone knows that Beidi will also need to change places to graze next summer, and it is absolutely impossible to delay for too long.

"How is the situation in Mohe?"

"Mohe City is not an isolated city. There should be enough food and grass in the city, but as the express said, there are still people outside the city. If you want to open the gate, you must prevent Beidi from entering the city." Han Wang pondered, "Not to mention that General Xi is seriously injured. , General Bai was captured again—"

The word "captive" is not very pleasant to hear anyway.

"What King Han means is to send another general there?"

The king of Han replied: "My son is willing to share the worries of the father."

"Let's leave first." The emperor said, "Come to court early tomorrow morning."

Entering the palace with great fanfare tonight, it is impossible for people not to know.The emperor also had an idea in mind.Let Liu Xiangru and other students from the Hanlin Academy come and instruct them to write some articles.Instead of waiting for the rumors in Beijing to spread and panic, it is better to tell people that they are doing business with the people of Beidi. Unexpectedly, Beidi Khan disregarded the life and death of the people, broke the trust, and abandoned not only the friendship between the two countries, but also the friendship between the two countries. The lives of tens of thousands of civilians.General Xi fought bravely, his courage is commendable, and he is a well-deserved hero.

Then, there will be reinforcements of food, horses, weapons, and troops from all over the country.

"General Bai was captured, what do you think?" Shui Rong asked.

Lin Mo sighed, "I hope uncle is safe."

"You don't seem worried."

"I heard that Xi He is also missing." Lin Mo said, "Although the express report is in a hurry, it is also detailed. I see that Beidi also came in a hurry in this battle, and there was no time to clean up the battlefield. There is no such thing as disappearance. What's more, he is the nephew of General Xi? I think"

Shui Rong was startled: "Don't slander others casually."

"I didn't slander him. I thought maybe he was going to save my uncle."

It's not impossible.

"I want to go to Mohe." Lin Mo said, "Personally escort this batch of food."

"Are you kidding! You don't need to go!" Shui Rong shouted.

Lin Mo's eyes were firm: "You don't know how many people want to make a fortune for the country. From here to Mohe, do you know which places you have to pass? You know how many cities are left after you get there? You Do you know who the prefect of Crane City is? Do you know where my uncle is? You know that there is no money to save people, I have already experienced it.”

It was a scar in his heart.

"I don't know about the war. I'm just afraid that they will be hungry. My parents born me, and they didn't want me to live in Beijing at this time."

"The emperor already has a candidate in mind!" Shui Rong said, "It's not just for you to recommend yourself, you should understand that the emperor will never let you go."

"That person is guarding against the south." Lin Mo said, "Don't you know? It's not just Beidi who has a bad harvest this year."

Shui Rong asked, "How many lives do you have?"

"One is enough."

Not to mention Shui Rong, even Jingxian and Daiyu didn't allow him to go, and it was the first time for Daiyu to blush at her brother: "My brother is a civil servant, if he goes there, can he carry a gun or dance a sword? Di people are rough, brother If you go, don’t you think about me and my sister-in-law?” One of them is pregnant, and the other is about to get married, so how dare they let the pillar of the family take risks?

Lin Che also said: "Brother, I'll pack my bags right away, and I'll go to Mohe before the year is over. Don't be stupid, just guard the capital, and uncle will be fine."

"Che'er." Lin Mo called out in a low voice.

Lin Che lowered her head.

When his father left, he was still young, and he only knew that the sky in the whole family had collapsed.When he grew up and understood the sacrificial rites written by his elder brother to his father and uncles, he realized that it was not malaria that killed them in the end, but those corrupt officials who robbed the people of the people.Is it that time again?Is this going to happen again now?At that time, the Lin family lost more than 20 young and strong men, who were the fathers of their brothers. How many fathers will die inexplicably this time?

"Brother!" Seeing that Lin Che was also shaken, Daiyu cried, "Brother, think about sister-in-law."

Lin Mo was also moved.

"Sister, I don't want anyone to starve to death there." He said, "To die in battle is heroic, to starve to death is because of my incompetence. When I die in the future, I will go to hell."

Daiyu has never been a person who likes to influence other people's thoughts. At this time, she can only hug her brother and sister-in-law and cry, but she doesn't want to persuade her anymore.

But when Lin Mo played the performance the next day, he saw the emperor looking at him: "Coincidentally, the King of Beijing is one step ahead of you."

"Your Majesty!" Lin Mo said anxiously, "Prince Beijing Jing is not suitable!"

"Where is it inappropriate?"

"The battle was sudden this time, but I always feel that Beidi has received some rumors." Lin Mo said, "The king of Beijing Jing is well-informed, and it is suitable for him to find this person in Beijing."

The emperor put down his notebook: "He has already found it, and said yes, go there and escort him to Beijing."
