Chapter 207 Entering the Southern Territory
The father is gone, the eldest brother has no backer at the border, and instead there will be suppression from the military. This is completely predictable. Therefore, even if Lin Su and Lin Jialiang had time in the early stage, they did not take the time to go to the border, because they It's useless to go, if you don't become a great scholar, you are just an ant, and you can't solve anything if you go there. It will only remind Zhang Wenyuan, an old bastard, to kill his elder brother as soon as possible.
It's different now.
Both of them are great Confucians, both have the ability to change the battlefield, and also have the qualifications to talk face-to-face with the border commander. The predicament of the eldest brother will change because of them.
"Third brother, what are you going to do?"
Lin Jialiang has a good habit of always asking Lin Su about any important matters.
Lin Su shook his head, we don't know anything about the border gate, we must understand everything before making a decision.
He built information points in the capital and Huichang, and left behind information personnel, but the military, he really didn't break in. There is a barrier between the military and the local area. For example, the defenders stationed on Leigong Island that day were outside Haining. Stationed for dozens of miles, there are still a large number of people in Haining who don't even know the existence of this army.
Not to mention the southern border, which is more than 2000 miles away from Haining.
The eldest brother doesn't know how to pass on letters, and every time he writes a letter to his family, he has to go through the military station. The person in charge of the military station is Zhang Wenyuan's direct descendant. How could it be possible for Lin Ying to say something private through him?So every time the letters are transferred, they are all the most common, formal and least informative things.
Even this kind of letter that can be posted on the street, when it was delivered to the Lin family, there were very obvious traces of unpacking, indicating that these letters had been opened by someone, and the person who opened it was quite arrogant, directly destroying the wax. When I resealed it after reading it, it was quite sloppy.
They don't care what the Lin family thinks at all.
It can even be said that they pointed at the Lin family's nose and told the Lin family that everyone in your family is staring at me, let me be more peaceful.
Based on this, after Lin Su and Lin Jialiang's palace examination, Lin Su and Lin Jialiang did not have Hongyan to send the letter to Lin Ying after the news of the champion and Jinshi. They were worried that Lin Ying's excitement would stimulate Zhang Wenyuan at the last moment. Kill Lin Ying.
Lin Jialiang sighed: "Third brother, I have learned something. The commander of the border gate in the south, Ding E, is a rough man, brutal and cruel. He has a martial arts skill to spy on people, so he doesn't have much fun, but Liu Dan, the border supervisor, is Zhang Wenyuan's confidant, Ding E, a rough man, can't play with the wily and calculating Liu Dan. At present, all affairs of the border are in Liu Dan's hands. If the elder brother is in danger, the biggest pusher must be him."
In the Dacang military system, the commander-in-chief is a military officer, and the supervising army is a civilian job in the military. When fighting abroad, the generals are the main ones, and the internal affairs are managed mainly by the supervising army. Any important matters are reported to the military headquarters by the supervising army. It is said that the commander-in-chief is at the front, but Da Cang values civility more than military, generals are generally of low status, and have no right to speak at all. Therefore, most of the army is actually controlled by the supervising army.
The same is true for the Southern Border Army where Lin Ying served.
"Brother's current job is to be a general?"
"Yes! When my father was the commander-in-chief of the southern border, my elder brother was the seventh general in the army. His actual power was second only to his father and the third-ranked general in the army. Today, he is still the seventh general. As for the actual status, I am afraid that even The second general is not as good."
A general is basically equivalent to the leader of a certain route army in the military region. The leader of the tenth army in the southern border has the power to discuss military accounts, but in the previous letters from home, the eldest brother never mentioned major military affairs, and only talked about wars abroad.
The Seventh Route Army has basically been regarded by the Southern Border Army as the vanguard of the charge.
Charge into battle?
This is what soldiers do!
However, this is not a reasonable way to eradicate dissidents!
Lin Su's eyes sparkled. How many battles did the Seventh Route Army go through in a whole year?How many times did the eldest brother survive the death?Where are you now?Is it too late to go today?
Lin Jialiang caught his eyes: "Third brother, the army is no different than a yamen. Violating military regulations and dealing with them on the spot is the law of the country! After all, we are not soldiers, and we don't understand the military. We must not be impulsive and fall into the trap." The eternal abyss."
Lin Su smiled lightly: "It's not that I don't understand military matters, maybe I just take this opportunity to perfect the art of war."
Lin Jialiang was shocked, you still know the art of war?
You have never participated in a battle. At most, you have heard some things from your father and elder brother. When they talked, I was there, and I heard what you heard. My father said it himself. Where did you go to learn the art of war?
Lin Su's consciousness sank into Wenshan.
Above Wenshan, there are nine cliffs.
One side of poetry, one side of words, one side of novels, one side of art of war...
At present, the art of war recorded above is empty, with four large characters above: "36 Strategies".
The following art of war is "Killing with a Borrowed Sword".
This art of war was recited by him to save his life when he faced Wudao Dragon Lord in Wudaoyuan that day, and it has been engraved on his Wenshan since then and has become his own.
It is not that simple to engrave the art of war on Wenshan. It is not that you write down the full text of 36 tactics. All the art of war are engraved on this cliff, it is impossible!
I need you to act.
How to deduce?Completely understand the essence of the art of war, use this art of war to really accomplish something, and use actual actions to prove the feasibility of this art of war.
Lin Su lives in a modern society with highly developed information. He has countless classic cases from all over the world in his mind, and he has fully understood most of the 36 strategies. Then, deduction becomes the last step in the finalization of the law of war.
He used "Borrowing a Knife to Kill" and killed the high-ranking officer sent by Xihai Longjun with the help of Wudao Longjun. The saint thought that he had achieved the practicality of the art of war, so he engraved this art of war on his Wenshan.
Some people may say, is there any difference between the Art of War engraved in Wenshan and the Art of War written in mind?
In general there is really no difference.
But in this world, there is a big difference...
Why?
The art of war engraved in Wenshan is not only the art of war, but also a magical skill!
This skill will explode with unimaginable combat effectiveness on the battlefield.
Let's talk about it later.
The two brothers flitted across the mountains, across the plains, across the Yangtze River, and across the thousands of miles of water towns...
Also passed a day and a night.
In the early morning of the next day, they pierced through the clouds and fog, and landed under a city in the south. Here, no one looked around. Here, the murderous aura was boiling. This was the southern border city where the bloody battle between the human race and the demon race had lasted for a hundred years: Blood Rain Pass.
So far the hero has spilled blood on the border!
From Haining to Xueyuguan, it is a total of [-] miles, across the southern Kyushu. If they are not Jinshi, this trip will take at least a month, but they are great Confucianists, and it only took one day and one night to travel thousands of miles.
Although it only took one day and one night, when Lin Jialiang fell from the sky, he was still very embarrassed. His literary energy was exhausted. Fortunately, Lin Su helped him in the second half and took him to fly. Otherwise, he would not even be able to stand when he landed. stable.
As for Lin Su, his strength was revealed. After flying for more than 2000 miles, he still had enough energy, and once he landed, he quickly replenished the energy he consumed, ten times faster than others.
This is his rejuvenation at work.
The two walked towards the grand pass in front of them. There was an army formation on the pass, and they were not allowed to fly over. Anyone who came here could only enter the city on foot and be inspected.
The two brothers approached the city gate, and the icy eyes of the defenders at the gate locked on. Although they were silent, their eyes were also murderous after living in the Iron-Blooded City for a long time...
who?
Lin Su looked at them and smiled, shaking his hands lightly, an official robe appeared in his palm, blue in color, with a spirit warbler on it, and five gold borders, the guarding soldiers were startled at the same time.
Fifth rank civil servant?This is almost as rare as a giant panda in the border town. Who would come to this place of life and death for an ordinary fifth-rank civil servant?In addition to the supervising army, the supervising army is no more than the fifth rank!
Lin Jialiang also shook his hand, seventh-rank official uniform!
Right under the eyes of the sergeant, the two changed into formal official uniforms, and strode towards the city gate.
Several sergeants stood up straight at the same time: "My lords, dare to ask... what is the business of coming to Blood Rain Pass?"
Lin Su raised his hand lightly, and held an official seal in his palm: "I, Lin Su, the Supervisory Envoy of the capital, are here to perform official duties at Xueyu Pass!"
As soon as the official seal came out, a golden long sword was suspended in the air, and the words "Supervision Order" were horizontal in the air. This cannot be faked, and it is a token that passes through the world.
The sergeant stood at attention at the same time and saluted: "Welcome to the supervisor!"
"My lord, please come in! The villain will notify the commander-in-chief to come out to welcome..."
Three sergeants led the Lin brothers into the city, and one sergeant ran to the commanding mansion in the main city.
Lin Su looked around, and couldn't help but sigh softly. The city is huge, and there are many people, soldiers and civilians, businesses and shops. It looks very prosperous and safe, but the blood left on the street, the scars on the faces of the residents , and the death in their eyes, all showed the vicissitudes of this bloody pass.
The city wall on the far south side was extremely tall. On the city wall, there was a long line of soldiers standing. When Lin Su came over, they didn't look back. Their duty was to defend the demons on the opposite side.
In the city, there are also vegetable fields, gardens, and farmers who are plowing, all of them are sallow and emaciated.
A row of soldiers came in front of them, they were also yellow and thin. Lin Su's eyes fell on several soldiers. The armor they wore was scratched, and the clothes inside the armor were in dilapidated condition. The shoulder of a young soldier connected to the armor was festered. .
Lin Su stretched out his hand abruptly, stopping the row of fighters: "Wait!"
The row of soldiers suddenly stood still like a row of nails, and everyone looked at Lin Su.
"You!" Lin Su pointed to the little soldier, "Why don't you wear underwear under your armor?"
Armor protects people, but if there is no underwear inside, the armor is directly connected to the human body, and no one can stand the friction alone.
The little soldier stood up straight: "My lord! This is just patrolling the city, not going to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Underwear is precious, and villains dare not wear it."
Underwear precious?
Lin Su's face was livid: "You!" Order another person.
That person stands up.
"Where did you drop your hand?"
"Last winter, frostbite and necrosis!"
Lin Su's gaze was firmly fixed, the ice injury was necrotic!
Although Da Cang puts more emphasis on literature than military, there have been few border wars in recent years, and military supplies have never been deducted from soldiers in the southern border. There are four sets of underwear every year, thick cotton clothes in winter, and military rations should be given as much as possible. It can be said that soldiers In addition to the lack of military pay, and the danger of war, life is pretty good.
But stepping into the Blood Rain Pass, what did he see?
Soldiers are yellow and thin, without underwear, and amputated by frostbite in winter. This is the southern border, and the southern border is not too cold. Unless you only wear single clothes in winter, otherwise, there should never be frostbite to death.
The soldiers went, Lin Jialiang watched them go away, full of respect.
In the eyes of other officials, warriors are despicable, but Lin Jialiang is by no means one of them. His eldest brother, who is also a member of the warriors, the Lin family, has lived a life like this for 200 years.
He didn't understand what Lin Su saw.
Lin Su didn't mention it either.
At the Commander's Mansion, the sergeant arrived one step ahead of him, and panting, he reported to the commander-in-chief: The capital inspector has arrived suddenly and has already entered the city!
The capital inspector?
Commander-in-chief Ding E and supervisor Liu Dan looked at each other, feeling strange.
monitoring?Monitor what?
It is customary for inspectors to inspect places, and they go through the motions every year, but it is rare to inspect the army. Unless there is a major event in the army, such as the entire army rebelling, otherwise, inspectors will not step into the barracks. At most, it is to check the accounts at the Ministry of War to make a show.
Therefore, in theory, inspectors can monitor the army, but in practice, there are almost none.
Liu Dan said in a deep voice, "Who is the supervisor?"
"Lin Su!"
Ding E and Liu Dan were shocked.
Lin Su?The new champion?The Zhang family's deadly enemy?Suddenly came to the military camp to conduct surveillance, do you want to trouble Mr. Zhang at the grassroots level?
definitely is!At least Ding E thinks so.
But Liu Dan shook his head slowly: "He came for his brother!"
Ding E opened his eyes wide: "Then what should we do? Lin Ying, we are..."
Liu Dan raised his hand: "As a soldier, Lin Zheng is sent out to perform missions. What can he say? Can he use this as an excuse to fight against military law? I expect him to fight against military law!"
A guard's voice came from outside: "The inspector, Mr. Lin, is here!"
Ding E and Liu Dan strode out of the Commander's Mansion and greeted Lin Su outside the gate of the mansion.
Lin Su raised his eyes, and saw Ding E, the commander of the Megatron Border Pass. Ding E was at least 1.9 meters tall and had a five-foot waist horizontally. Lin Su, he just clasped his fists in both hands without bowing at the waist: "Master Lin is a rare visitor to the barracks, but he doesn't know why?"
The matter of inviting him into the mansion was never mentioned at all, at least Lin Jialiang completely ignored it.
He is a third-rank military general, so no one can fault him for doing this.
Lin Su bowed to the high-ranking official according to official rules: "I am ordered to monitor the world, and naturally I have official duties to enter the military camp..."
"But I don't know what official business it is?" A voice came from the side.
Lin Su raised his head slowly, and saw Liu Dan's half-smile face.
"This officer received a report that someone at the southern border has embezzled military supplies, falsely reported the number of people and falsely received military pay."
Embezzling military supplies and pretending to be paid.
As soon as the eight words came out, Ding E's heart jumped suddenly...
Liu Dan didn't change his face: "But I don't know who reported it?"
"It doesn't matter who the whistleblower is, what matters is whether there is such a violation of law and discipline in your southern border."
