Chapter 69 069 [When did Jiang Yue shine on people]

While Qin Chun was furious, there was cheering in Guangling City.

The deputy commander Duan Zuozhang, the prefect Zhan Hui and the hurriedly arrived Guangling Inspector Li Jin of the Sutra Weaving Department stood in a row. The lieutenants and officials of the government stood behind. Everyone had a real smile on their face. , looking at the hundreds of warriors entering the city through the west gate.

The results of the night attack were not exaggerated. They only burned the opponent's western camp to pieces. In addition to beheading the generals and seizing the flag, they also killed about two to three hundred Jingjun soldiers.

But this was beyond everyone's expectations. After all, there were nearly [-] enemy troops outside. No one thought that a mere [-] cavalry could directly attack the Chinese army and overwhelm the enemy.

Even when Yang Guangyuan shocked the Qi court in the first battle, he only led a thousand cavalry to defeat more than 4000 Jinglian cavalry. This was already a glorious achievement that shocked both the government and the public and made him shine and rise to the top.

If Lu Chen could really sweep through the [-] Jing army with his [-] cavalry, I am afraid that Duan Zuozhang would not dare to order the city gates to be opened to greet him. He would most likely think that this young master of the Lu family was the reincarnation of a demon.

In fact, according to Duan Zuozhang's prediction, Lu Chen only had to lead people around Jingjun's camp and make some noise to scare the enemy to complete the task.

This was the purpose of the passage he quoted from "City Defense Record" earlier, it was just a strategy to tire out the enemy.

At this moment, looking at Lu Chen, who was walking towards him with the head of the general carrying the scenery, Duan Zuozhang stepped forward and said with a smile: "After today, Brother Lu's name will definitely be spread throughout Huaizhou!"

From Lu Ganban to Brother Lu, and in this public situation, it is enough to explain the attitude of the deputy commander.

"Lu Gandan set this fire beautifully!"

"This head should be Wei Gao, the cavalry general of the Jing Army."

"How do you know?"

"Don't forget that we captured dozens of Jing's troops in the past two days. The Weaving Department has opened some people's mouths and learned that the enemy's leader is Qin Chun, the deputy general manager of the Dongyang Road soldiers and horses of the Puppet Yan. The names of other generals The information is generally clear. Hey, didn’t the general say it before? Didn’t you hear it?”

"Ahem... Of course I know, I'm just testing you."

"Shut up, you guys, now is the time to discuss these things? If I remember correctly, this should be the first Jing Dynasty general to be beheaded in his own camp in the past ten years. Lu Ganban, you are like this What a great contribution!”

"Yeah, Lu Ganban is really awesome! He's so courageous!"

Every word spoken by the captains revealed their closeness and approval towards Lu Chen.

Lu Chen handed Wei Gao's head to Li Cheng'en, smiled and bowed to everyone, and then said to Duan Zuozhang: "General, the five hundred warriors are lucky to have lived up to their orders!"

The sound wasn't too loud, but it was enough to be heard by the masters who followed him out of the city.

Duan Zuozhang secretly thought that this young man was really sober. He did not get carried away because of the compliments of the captains. Instead, he sincerely distributed the credit to everyone.

He smiled gently and said loudly: "I will report the details of this battle to the imperial court truthfully, and I will definitely live up to your heart of sacrificing your life to protect the city."

Everyone quickly thanked them, and then some military judges and government officials came forward to count the casualties of the two armies.

Lu Chen believed that no one would make a fuss at this time, so he said to Duan Zuozhang: "General, if the fire is burned tonight, the enemy commander will definitely be furious. I estimate that he will not wait patiently for the arrival of follow-up reinforcements. In the next two days, we will still force our subordinates to attack Guangling. As long as we can further reduce the enemy's fighting spirit, our army's chances of winning will increase exponentially."

Duan Zuozhang quickly understood what Lu Chen meant. After encountering the night attack just now, Jing's army would not be as calm as before, and they needed to be prepared at all times to be prepared for Guangling's army to leave the city again.

Under such high pressure, the soldiers have to undertake difficult siege operations. Faced with strange fires that may ignite a sea of ​​​​fire at any time, how long can the tight strings in their hearts last?
When the string breaks, the entire army collapses. This situation is not uncommon in the history of war.

"You have a long-term perspective, which is rare." Duan Zuozhang looked at the side with a warm expression and said, "But I think what you need most now is to have a good sleep and not be too tired."

Lu Chen felt a look on his side and said goodbye to Duan Zuozhang, Zhan Hui and others.

……

The quiet night is heavy, floating light and misty, cold and melting into the moon.

In the sky on earth, the rotten silver glow shines through.

From the West City Gate to the Dongcheng Courtyard where Lin Xi lives temporarily, it almost crosses the entire Guangling City.

The road was a bit long, and Lu Chen and Lin Xi walked in silence.

When the fighting is gone and the blood has settled, some memories will grow out of the heart like branches and vines wrapped around a big tree.

Lin Xi held the short knife in his left hand and twisted the green hair hanging from his temples with his right hand, with a peaceful smile in his eyes.

At the critical moment of life and death, he took the initiative to reach out and hold her, and then she pulled him onto the horse.

The two rode together and rode all the way from Jingjun Camp back to Guangling.

Although it is not a skin-to-skin contact, in this era, it is a contact that far transcends the boundaries between men and women.

She turned her head and saw Lu Chen following suit with a rather careless expression. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Junior brother, are you worried?"

Lu Chen is not a particularly delicate person emotionally, let alone being pretentious, but looking back now, the previous contact was indeed too close.

He didn't know what Lin Xi's attitude would be towards this kind of contact. After all, this was an era that emphasized ethics and defense.

The smile on Lin Xi's face was a bit brighter, and she took the initiative to bring up this topic: "Follow the authority in urgent matters, don't worry about it. Besides, we, the Jianghu people, don't care about red tape."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Senior sister is right." Lin Xi's eyes flashed and she said softly, "So junior brother thinks that this kind of thing can be treated as if it never happened?"

"what?"

Lu Chen was stunned, and just as he was about to explain, he saw Lin Xi covering her mouth and laughing, and then said warmly: "Junior brother, don't take it seriously, I'm just joking."

Under the moonlight, her water-cut eyes became more and more lively.

Lu Chen pretended to be relieved and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that senior sister is actually very naughty."

"Huh? Can the word naughty be used to describe your senior sister?"

"How about being funny instead?"

"No, get another one."

"Let me think about it."

After a while.

Lin Xi asked curiously: "You haven't decided yet?"

Lu Chen said solemnly: "Senior sister is beautiful and smart, beautiful in the country and beautiful in the sky, naturally beautiful, with orchids in the empty valley, as graceful as a startling giant, and as graceful as a swimming dragon..."

He spoke dozens of idioms in one breath, using up almost everything he had learned in his life, but Lin Xi did not interrupt him, and just looked at him with a smile.

When Lu Chen finally exhausted his strength, Lin Xi asked, "Is there anything more?"

Lu Chen blinked and said, "Let me think about it again?"

Lin Xi suddenly pinched his arm and hummed, "I want you to tease me."

The two laughed and laughed for a while, naturally resolving the slight embarrassment caused by the previous close contact.

"After this war is over, will junior brother choose to stay in the Weaving Department or join the army?"

In the cold night, Lin Xi's eyes seemed to have an indescribable meaning.

Lu Chen didn't notice it and mused: "From my personal point of view, joining the army is better than staying in the Weaving Department. Anyway, there is definitely no hope in taking the imperial examination. But I always have a hunch that my father will not really agree. I devote myself wholeheartedly to these things, and he hopes that I will take over the Lu family's industry."

Lin Xi responded softly, and then said: "I think Uncle Shi will respect your own ideas."

Lu Chen ignored the topic, turned to look at her and asked, "When does Senior Sister plan to go north?"

The breeze blows slowly, and the long street is quiet.

Lin Xi looked forward and said slowly: "The foundation you laid in the past nine years is very solid, and it is in a state that can be improved at any time. In addition, your understanding is very high, and the speed of understanding the Mysterious Sutra is beyond my expectation. Now that you have finished learning the body skills, I will leave Guangling after I teach you the boxing skills and sword skills."

Lu Chen said softly: "Senior sister taught me well."

The two fell silent at the same time.

Lin Xi glanced at the other courtyard in front of him and lowered his eyes: "I'm going back."

Lu Chen's lips moved, but he finally nodded and said, "Sister, take a good rest."

"Ah, you too."

Lin Xi turned around and walked towards the other courtyard.

Lu Chen stood there and watched.

Until her slightly thin figure disappeared from sight.

……

The stars hang down and the plains are wide, and the moon springs from the river.

On the sparkling Hengjiang River, a fleet of boats sailed down the river, carrying most of the elite soldiers of the Feiyu Camp of the Jingzhou Dudu Mansion.

They set off from the ferry in Changshui County in Jingzhou, and a small number of soldiers walked along the land south of the Yangtze River with three horses and one person. This way they could travel at full speed while maintaining the strength of their mounts and legs, and then reunited with the main force on the ship when they arrived at their destination.

A young woman walked out of the cabin and stood on the bow of the ship, staring at the hazy scene in the night.

The river breeze blew by, blowing up her black hair that was simply tied behind her head.

After a while, she said to the bodyguard standing not far away: "Send the order to the whole camp. We will arrive in Guangling this afternoon. Everyone is ready to fight."

The guard bowed his head and said: "Follow the order!"

Li Bingxue's cold face showed a hint of solemnity, and his eyes were firm and sharp.
