False Eunuch: With Many Children, I'm as Happy as a Fish in Water

"Xiao Liu, are you the only one left in your family?"

"The rate of reporting back to the team is exactly that.

Wang Wu looked at the smiling soldier and couldn't help but sigh.

Xiao Liu claimed that all his relatives died in the flood, and now he is the only one left alive.

After Wang Wu learned the news, he asked the other party to go home with him.

The two of them walked on the street, attracting the attention of passers-by.

Although the two of them took off their armor, they had seen blood and practiced military skills, so they did not look like good friends.

When Wang Wu looked at the neighborhood where he grew up, he felt a little ups and downs in his heart.

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Wu strode in.

nature.

Along the way, many familiar Jiefang neighbors looked at us with surprise.

"Aunt Liu, it's me, Wang Wu, who's back!"

Encountering a neighbor he knew, Wang Wu quickly stepped forward to say hello.

"Wang Wu?!"

The middle-aged woman called Aunt Liu looked at Wang Wu and her eyes widened.

"They said you joined the army, but they didn't want you to become rich!"

Aunt Liu looked at Wang Wu's new clothes. The fabric alone was worth four or five taels of silver!

"Aunt Liu, is my mother okay?"

Wang Wu thought about how he left his mother in the care of his neighbors when he was in the army, but he didn't know how his mother was doing now.

But Aunt Liu smiled from ear to ear and told Wang Wu a piece of news that made Wang Wu breathe a sigh of relief.

His mother is fine.

For a while.

News of Wang Wu's prosperity spread among the people.

It is said that Wang Wu fought a great victory with General Na Lin this time. Not only was he rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor, but he also became a military attaché!

Many people came to celebrate.

Even the shopkeeper of the cloth shop, who had always looked down upon Wang Wu, asked the waiter to visit him with melons and fruits.

Only then did Wang Wu understand.

The gap between officials and ordinary people can be described as a huge difference!

When Wang Wu tried to propose marriage, the cloth shop owner agreed immediately.

That splendid old face seemed to say that he had reached a higher level.

For the people in the capital.

The news about Lin Chen's army gave them more talk for a few days.

On the other hand, for Lin Chen himself, it was a bit of a headache for him.

"Tell those who come to visit me that I will not see any visitors during this period!" Lin Chen ordered one of his guards.

"yes!"

The place where he is now is a house gifted by Li Zhao, located in the most prosperous neighborhood in the capital.

Most of the people who can live here are the families of officials.

Because of this, less than a day after Lin Chen moved in, there was an endless stream of people coming to visit him.

There are invitations from wealthy businessmen and officials with unknown purposes.

And these invitations were not simple. They all invited Lin Chen to have a gathering at Fanlou, the most luxurious place in the capital.

"I heard that there are many famous people in Fanlou. I don't know how many dignitaries are willing to spend a lot of money just to get a glimpse of the glory."

Shangguan Wan'er looked at Lin Chen with a half-smile.

When Lin Chen heard about Shangguan Wan'er, a trace of helplessness flashed across his face.

"Tell me why you came to me."

He didn't believe that Shangguan Wan'er secretly left the palace just to tease him.

"It's for that Zhao Kuangyin!"

...

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the camp in front of him with a strange look in his eyes.

On the way to Xianping City, Zhao Kuangyin saw many camps left by Lin Chen.

"This guy is quite interesting." Zhao Kuangyin became interested and couldn't help but comment.

"Oh, for a mediocre general who only knows how to defend a stronghold, why does the elder brother value Lin Chenjia so much?" Zhao Guangyi frowned and asked in confusion.

Along the way, he also saw the camp built by Lin Chen.

Zhao Guangyi was rather dismissive of this.

Zhao Kuangyin glanced at his younger brother and shook his head imperceptibly.

As the saying goes, speak of defeat before you speak of victory.

Lin Chen originally used tens of thousands of troops to deal with the White Lotus Sect.

If it weren't for this step-by-step approach, they would definitely not be able to deal with the 60,000 White Lotus Sect army.

Zhao Kuangyin naturally had nothing to do and had just come to see these camps.

After seeing these camps, he guessed how Lin Chen had eaten away the 60,000-strong army step by step.

"Is there any news from the White Lotus Sect?" Zhao Kuangyin suddenly asked.

"Brother, the White Lotus Sect is too useless." Zhao Guangyi said angrily, "Not only was Xianping City almost defeated by Lin Chen, but I don't know how the location of the food storage water village was discovered. The food was all gone. Being served in one pot!”

Zhao Kuangyin frowned when he heard this.

"Is that so?"

"Speed ​​up and head to Hampyeong Castle as soon as possible."

Lin Chen might have thought a little wrong.

That is, Zhao Kuangyin did not plan to have a Chenqiao mutiny at this time.

He also knew that his power was not enough to occupy the magpie's nest.

However!

Because of the many accidents caused by Lin Chen, Zhao Kuangyin was caught off guard.

According to Zhao Kuangyin's plan.

The White Lotus Sect should wreak havoc on most of the capital and threaten the capital city.

In this way, he would have the confidence to carry out the next step of his plan.

No idea.

In Lin Chen's hands, the White Lotus Sect suffered a huge loss.

Of course, this is no longer important.

As long as the White Lotus Sect can still exist, it will give Zhao Kuangyin an excuse to cause trouble.

But now that the food is gone, we can only make a quick decision.

On the second day after Lin Chen returned to Beijing.

News came from the Beijing camp army led by Zhao Kuangyin.

The White Lotus Sect gathered 230,000 horses and went out of the city to fight with the Beijing camp!

Zhao Kuangyin defeated it!

The White Lotus Sect lost 30,000 soldiers and retreated to Xianping City.

Just when the people in the capital were excited about another great victory.

The White Lotus Sect thieves attacked the Beijing camp at night.

Zhao Kuangyin, who was caught off guard, burned countless weapons, food and fodder, and suffered over 10,000 casualties.

then.

The war here in Xianping City became strange.

On the one hand, Zhao Kuangyin used his troops like a god and defeated the White Lotus Sect army.

Also, some generals in the Beijing Camp were unable to be used, which led to an ambush in part of the Beijing Camp and the entire army was wiped out!

After this battle, it gave the impression that the soldiers of the White Lotus were very powerful in combat, on par with the officers and soldiers of the imperial court.

at the same time.

Zhao Kuangyin also wrote a letter requesting more food, wages and weapons to make up for the losses.

A rough estimate.

Zhao Kuangyin and the White Lotus Sect faced off in the Xianping area, and the Beijing camp lost more than 20,000 people.

The White Lotus Sect suffered even greater losses, with more than 100,000 believers killed or injured!

only.

Lin Chen noticed something was wrong.

Why does this feel like Zhao Kuangyin is using the White Lotus Sect to clean up the Beijing camp?

In particular, most of the list of fallen generals sent back by Zhao Kuangyin were military-honored generals. It was difficult for Lin Chen not to suspect that this was a means to eliminate dissidents.

Is Zhao Kuangyin planning to use this to completely win over the Beijing camp?

This is the same as his approach of gathering the army in the name of the General of the Forbidden Army before the Chenqiao mutiny.

Maybe others don't think it's anything.

But Lin Chen took this matter seriously.

Just when Lin Chen felt that this was Zhao Kuangyin's purpose.

The imperial court received another letter from Zhao Kuangyin.

"Your Majesty!" A civil official said from above the court, "Most of the White Lotus Sect are innocent people who have been kidnapped!"

"What if it is better to follow what Zhao Shangshu said and only punish the first evildoers and carry out imperial edicts?"

…
