10 The Lim Brothers
Source of "Young Feng Shui Master":
An hour later, the army set out.
Commander Lin Xia and I left the Nancheng camp and marched towards Yongzhou in a mighty manner.
At this time, we both completely believed that this was true.
Yu'er always remained silent, as if she had become an ordinary jade pendant without any spirituality.
I rode on the horse, subconsciously took out the jade pendant, looked at it, and put it back into my clothes.
At this time, Lin You rode his horse to us and lowered his voice, "Crown Prince, Princess, I will report important matters..."
"What's the matter?" Lin Xia asked.
Lin You hesitated for a moment and said, "Xia'er, I suspect that his eldest brother colluded with the King of Chu and intended to rebel..."
I couldn't help but be stunned.
Lin Zuo’s rebellion?
Lin Xia glanced at him, "Why do you say that?"
"In the battle of the East China Sea, the cavalry of our Beijun County was invincible, and the rebels collapsed due to the military front," Lin You said, "But just when our army won the battle, the elder brother suddenly ordered to stop the pursuit and ordered the army to camp in the Wild Wolf Valley that night..."
"Wild Wolf Valley?" Lin Xia frowned, "It's all the Jedi, how can you camp there?"
"Brother insisted on camping there," Lin You said, "The cavalry of my northern county is all cavalry, and the wild wolf valley is surrounded by zodiac signs. If we encounter enemy situations, we cannot unfold. I advised my elder brother, but he didn't listen. He was the chief general, and I could only obey the order. As a result, that night, ambushed soldiers rose up everywhere, and our army fought bloody night until dawn, and then defeated the rebels. But the 50,000 cavalry were left, with less than 30,000..."
He sighed.
Lin Xia remained silent and looked at me.
"So, he did it on purpose," I said.
She pondered for a moment and asked Lin You, "What's wrong with him colluding with the King of Chu?"
"After the attack that night, I asked my elder brother angrily why he knew that the Wild Wolf Valley was a Jedi, and he still insisted on his own and had to camp there," Lin You said. "Brother began to say that he felt that the rebels had become defeated, and our army pursued for more than 300 miles in a row, and was trapped in the wild horses, so he was careless."
I smiled coldly, "Is this a reason?"
"What the prince said is that this is not a reason at all," Lin You said excitedly, "The reason he did this was because he had already planned with the King of Chu. He destroyed the cavalry of the Beijun and led the Huns south on the side. At that time, the court would definitely transfer our Beijun and attack the Huns north! At that time, they would join forces to attack the capital south and divide our Great Zhou world!"
"Wait...", I stopped him, "He wants to rebel and need the North County Iron Cavalry, so why does he still have to lose his military strength?"
"What he lost was not his military strength, but from the court," Lin Xia said. "The cavalry of the Beijun is divided into five camps, Tianlang, Black Tiger, Qingbao, and Left Qinglong, each camp of Qinglong. Among these five camps, Tianlang, Black Tiger, and Green Left were all trained by my father himself. They were loyal to my Lin clan and were elite soldiers of the Lin clan. The Qinglong Camp at the Wujun clan was not the direct line of the Lin clan, but the cavalry of the Beijun sent to Beijun and joined by the imperial court."
"These two camps were used by the imperial court to monitor us," Lin You continued, "And that night, the commanders of the three camps of Wild Wolf Valley, Tianlang, Black Tiger, and Qingbao all received the secret order from their elder brother. After nightfall, they were on high alert. The left and right Qinglong Camp was placed on the left and right wings of the camp by their elder brother. In the second half of the night, the rebel ambush suddenly came out and attacked the left and right wings. After a fierce battle, the three camps of Tianlang, Black Tiger, and Qingbao suffered extremely little losses, while the left and right Qinglong Camps were wiped out."
"If he borrowed the rebels' hands and got rid of the left and right Qinglong Camp," Lin Xia said, "Without the constraints of the left and right Qinglong Camp, he can let go."
"So that's what it is...", I understand.
"Brother originally thought that when the Huns invaded and the northern border was in a hurry, the court would definitely send him as the chief cavalry general, joining forces with the King of Chu to attack the Huns." Lin You looked at Lin Xia, "But after we arrived in Shangjing, we realized that the emperor had issued an order to hand over all the iron cavalry of the Great Zhou to His Highness the Crown Princess. When the eldest brother heard this news, he was very angry. I was worried that he would make trouble in Shangjing, so he sent someone to stare at him secretly and observe his every move. He found that he had sent his confidants to Yongzhou. The general thought that this matter was extraordinary, so he came to report to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."
I asked Lin Xia, "What should I do?"
Lin Xia thought for a while and told Lin You, "You go back, I have my own arrangements."
"Yes!" Lin You clasped his fists, turned his horse's head, and returned to the team.
After he walked away, I looked at Lin Xia, "Xia'er..."
"The eldest brother said that the King of Chu was going to rebel, and the second brother said that the eldest brother and the King of Chu were going to rebel together." She looked at me, "Crown Prince, who do you think is credible?"
"It must be Lin You's words are credible," I said, "In the battle of Wild Wolf Valley, it was obvious that Lin Zuo deliberately used the rebels to destroy the left and right Qinglong Camp! He has done so obviously, do you still need to ask?"
"Not necessarily...", she shook her head, "No hurry, wait and talk."
"Wait?" I wondered, "When will it be?"
"One of them must be rebelled," she said. "The army will not arrive in Yongzhou tomorrow at sunset. Along the way, they will inevitably reveal flaws. Let's watch first, and it will not be too late to take action after seeing clearly."
"They are all your brothers," I looked at her, "You can do it?"
She sighed softly.
"The Lin family has been guarding the northern border for the Great Zhou for generations. The reputation of my ancestors cannot be destroyed in their hands," she said, "It is better to deal with one person than to implicate the entire clan. If they really dare to be disobedient, I will never be merciful."
I held her hand, "Xia'er..."
"The prince doesn't have to worry," she said, "Xia'er won't let them disturb the army."
I nodded silently, "Okay."
She let go of my hand and turned to order the commander, "Transfer our military orders, and the army will accelerate. Before dawn, be sure to reach Tianma River!"
"Yes!" The messenger clasped his fists, whipped his horse, and went to the front to pass the command.
