The two entered the house and sat down. Li Xu put his helmet on the table, looked at Liu Jian and smiled, "Uncle Liu actually went out to greet him today, and my nephew was flattered."

Liu Jian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You can still laugh. You have been suppressing bandits for half a month, do you know what big thing happened?"

Li Xu knew it very well, but his face was confused and said, "What's the big deal? Did the Wei people enter Hangu Pass?"

"That's not the case. Hangu Pass has a heavy army, so how could the Wei people easily break the pass? However, the influence of this major event should not be underestimated. Haven't you noticed anything unusual along the way?"

Li Xu frowned and thoughtfully, "Exception? I saw some defeated soldiers on the road, and their clothes looked like soldiers from prefectures and counties. Could it be that these people were all those soldiers who followed Lin Yi to fight against the rebellion?"

Liu Jian sighed and said, "It must be so. Three days ago, I received a letter from the capital. The letter was written by Song Xiang himself. The letter said that a defeated soldier fled back to the capital seven days ago and told Lin Yi about the defeat."

From Liu Jian's narrative, Li Xu knew that the local government soldiers who fled back to the capital informed the Qin court of Lin Yi's defeat and then told him that Lin Yi and the remaining thousands of Yulin Left Guards fled north.

It has been almost ten days since the day of defeat, but there is still no news about Lin Yi and his remnant army.

As time passed, more and more people in the Qin court believed that Lin Yi had been wiped out.

Although this result was really shocking, before Lin Yi went to war, no one would think that the dignified Hanzhong Marquis and the "Qilinzi" of the Lin family would be defeated by a group of thieves.

But the result is becoming more and more obvious, and the faces of a group of big men in the Qin Dynasty were swollen.

The most swollen one is Lin Yi's father, Lin Ruhai, a giant in the Qin army and the Duke of Ningguo.

It is said that the memorials impeaching Lin’s father and son in the past few days have been filled with the emperor’s imperial case.

Although most of these memorials were from the censors and low-ranking officials below, and the big men of the court had not made a clear statement, anyone could see that Lin Yi's defeat suddenly pushed Lin Ruhai to the forefront.

Although some Lin Ruhai's former subordinates also reported memorials that the situation is unclear and cannot be easily drawn, no one can be the opponent of these censors and censors, so the memorials that defended the Lin father and son were soon overwhelmed by more impeachment memorials.

These censors were all indignant and said that the Lin father and son were in trouble.

Lin Yi was arrogant and arrogant, which led to the annihilation of tens of thousands of troops in the court, causing the Qin Dynasty to fall into a more decayed situation in an instant.

Lin Ruhai's sin was that he was nepotism and forced to recommend his son to take charge, which led to the decline of state affairs and the situation falling into corruption, which was even more unforgivable.

These people even asked the emperor to directly issue an order to take back the titles of Lin’s father and son, and put the Lin family in jail and question them.

It is said that after Lin Hu was impeached, he has never left the house these days and stayed at home to attend the event.

Hearing this, although Li Xu did not have any sympathy with the Lin father and son, it was the first time that these censors had a more intuitive understanding of the ability of biting people.

But if you think about it carefully, it is natural to have such a situation.

Li Xu looked at Liu Jian and suddenly asked, "Uncle Liu, what does Song Xiang mean? If I guessed correctly, Song Xiang would definitely not easily offend Lin's father and son. Although Lin Yi was defeated, there must be something strange about it. If the court asked Lin Ruhai again at this time, it would definitely cause unstable military morale. After all, Lin Ruhai's influence in the army is very huge."

Liu Jian looked at Li Xu with appreciation and nodded, "You are indeed wise. Song Xiang did not agree to ask Lin how to offend Lin at this time. Last time I told Song Xiang the news that you suspected that Lin Yi was defeated by the Wei people and did not report it. Song Xiang was a little unbelievable that the Wei people would really appear in Yan'an Prefecture. But now Lin Yi's defeat proves that your speculation was correct at that time."

Li Xu said, "Lin Yi's life and death are uncertain. It's hard to say whether he was the Wei people, but there must be a powerful force in it that we don't know is helping the thief army fight against the court. So what was Song Xiang's plan?"

Liu Jian said: "Song Xiang went to Ningguo Duke's Mansion and had a deep conversation with Lin Ruhai. Lin Ruhai promised to take charge of the battle to quell the chaos in Yan'an Prefecture."

This news was beyond Li Xu's expectations.

He frowned and asked, "Lin Ruhai actually has to take charge of the battle in person at the forefront of such a storm? Are you really not afraid of following in the footsteps of his son?"

Liu Jian said, "Although Lin is powerful and abusive, he is indeed one of the top generals in the Qin Dynasty in terms of qualifications and abilities. Moreover, he is a general and disciple in the army, and he can win the hearts of the people to the maximum extent, and put together the rebel army that was formed again to form a joint force. Song Xiang knew this well, so he allowed Lin Ruhai to select the generals to form a new rebel army."

Li Xu knew that the chief assistant Song Mu was correct, and he also vaguely guessed that Song Mu should have reached some kind of deal with Lin Hu.

Among the bargaining chips in the trade, Lin Yi's forward was defeated but did not report it.

According to common sense, if this matter was exposed by Song Mu, then the whirlwind of public opinion in the court would truly overwhelm the Lin father and son.

If there is something strange about the defeat, then the vanguard and the army concealed the defeat and did not report it to the court and continued to lead troops northward, which would eventually lead to the annihilation of the entire army. That would be another matter.

Once this matter is known to the outside world, those censors will probably ask the emperor to directly kill Lin Ruhai.

Since ancient times, civil and military officials have never been in opposition. These censors are a group of biting dogs raised by the tycoons in the court. Even if they have nothing to do, they will bite your hair, let alone such a big evidence of crime.

Once the court is serious, even if Lin Ruhai is not dead, he may eventually be removed from his position as Duke, and the forces in the army will be wiped out.

So Lin Ruhai had no choice at all.

I was just curious about what conditions Song Mu had put forward to trade with Lin Ruhai.

Could this condition be to let Lin Ruhai take charge of the battle?

Looking at Li Xu pondering silently, Liu Jian suddenly said, "Are you guessing who is among the generals of Lin Ruhaidian?"

Li Xu came to his senses and asked, "This old guy won't order my general, right?"

Liu Jian nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, the last general of Lin Ruhaidian is you."

Li Xu was stunned and said, "Why did this old guy order me? I am just a small county magistrate. Could it be that he wanted to vent his anger on his son and deliberately transferred me to his subordinates to facilitate his dealings with me?"

Liu Jian said: "That shouldn't be that although Lin Ruhai is not very broad-minded, he wouldn't be like this if he wants to deal with you, a small county lieutenant."

Li Xu curled his lips and said, "That's not necessarily the case. Sometimes people get older and the less they are. Uncle Liu, how can I not go?"

Liu Jian looked at Li Xu's depressed expression and suddenly burst into laughter: "I didn't expect you to be defeated. Don't worry, although Lin Ruhai ordered your general, Song Xiang helped you block it, because you are too young and need to be trained."

Li Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that he would be transferred to listen to the old boy Lin Ruhai. If Lin Ruhai asked him to lead his troops to fight his troops, he would be in a dilemma.

If that time really comes, he might have to show his identity and rebel publicly.

Seeing Li Xu breathed a sigh of relief, Liu Jian continued, "But the Song Xiang also said that the pond in Sanshui County is too small, and it is considered a waste of time to stay here. I want you to go to the capital."

Li Xu was stunned. It was quite sudden. Why did he suddenly go to the capital?

He suddenly felt blessed and blurted out, "Does Song Xiang want to rebuild the left guard of Yulin?"
