Chapter 16 Shame of Abandoning the City and Fleeing
At this time, Wang Ti and his junior brother Wen Nanfang were also talking quietly.
"Junior brother, have you noticed that the atmosphere between Lin Xiandi and his father is very subtle and awkward?" After Wang Ti had eaten and drank enough, his body and mind, which had been hungry and cold for the past few days, relaxed a lot, regained his former lively temperament, and talked to Wen Nanfang Bagua
.
Wen Nanfang was not as heartless as Wang Ti. When no one was paying attention, he expressed his speculation: "The situation in Hexian County should not be optimistic. Your Lin Shibo should have abandoned the city with his family and fled here in advance.
of."
The lively smile on Wang Ti's face immediately disappeared and he asked seriously: "Why did you say that?"
Wen Nanfang looked around and saw that everyone else was far away. Fu Er whispered in Wang Ti's ear and analyzed: "You and I saw it clearly on the mountain yesterday. The smoke ignited in the direction of Haxian County at Yinshi this morning (
Note: 3 to 5 o'clock in the morning), and now it is only midnight (Note: 13 to 15 o'clock in the morning). According to the time they went up the mountain, Lin Zheyun, as the head of a county, can reach Lushan at this time.
When the chaos broke out, the Hexian garrison should not have been organized immediately to resist the refugees. Instead, at that time, he directly led his troops to protect a group of family members and escaped from the city to avoid disaster and reach Lushan Mountain so quickly."
Wang Ti's face darkened when he heard this.
"In such a hurry, Lin Zheyun still had time to bring a large amount of food and grass. This is unreasonable. The only explanation is that he had already prepared and wanted to abandon the city and escape. It was just bad luck. Before he could abandon the city and escape, the refugees
He attacked the city first, but he was a step too late and just happened to hit it."
After Lin Zheyun and his party arrived, Wen Nanfang became more vigilant and carefully observed the supplies they brought. He calculated everything based on the time they went up the mountain and the amount of supplies they brought.
The guesswork is pretty close.
It was learned that Lin Zheyun had long planned to abandon the city and escape, and also speculated that they were in bad luck. Before they could escape from the city, the city was captured by the refugees. As the head of a county, Lin Zheyun did not organize a garrison to resist, but
Things like running away to protect yourself.
Wang Ti looked livid: "As the head of a county, Lin Shibo abandoned the city and fled? How can he be so irresponsible? He ignored the safety of the people in the city and only wanted to protect himself!"
Wen Nanfang smiled sarcastically: "Are there not many officials like this in the Daji court?"
Wang Ti and Wen Nanfang looked at each other in silence for a moment, thinking of the destruction of Shoushan Academy and all the chaos and encounters along the way. Wasn't this all caused by the inaction of the court officials?
Daji is now torn apart, all because these nobles in the court obviously hold high positions, but they always make profits for their own families.
To this day, these courtiers who are still in the dead body are still afraid of the Wu thief, so they all choose to protect themselves wisely, and do not want to be the second in the Fu family. They follow the trend and dare not resist the Wu thief, and indulge him as much as they want. If they only care about the present, they will one day suffer backlash.
Officials who did not do anything were living an ignoble existence, but the Fu family, the only one who did something, did not end well. It was so ironic that it was destroyed.
"Lin Zheyun was well prepared, but they all fled in such a panic, so they had no choice but to temporarily avoid Lushan. You, the Wang clan... are afraid of the worst."
Wen Nannan revealed his speculation, and Wang Ti's mood collapsed again.
After that, both of them sat in silence, no longer speaking, and the atmosphere was silent and depressing.
In early winter, at night in Lushan Mountain, the temperature dropped sharply. The cold wind roared through the mountains and forests, blowing on the body, which was a chill that penetrated into the bone marrow.
Wen Nanfang and Wang Ti traveled all the way from Shengjing to Hexian. They encountered various disasters on the way, and refugees and bandits were rampant. At this time, except for the six loyal followers, there was nothing left. At this time, the cold air came down, and their faces were frozen.
Jiang Zi, huddled under a big tree and shivering, very desolate.
When Lin Zheyun saw it, he generously helped the two of them with things to keep out the cold. Wang Ti accepted the things, thanked him indifferently, and then returned to the big tree where his group was, and interacted enthusiastically with Bai Tian
attitudes are completely different.
Lin Zhihuang and his party set up dozens of large curtains in a dry place not far from Wang Ti and others, which could protect them from wind and rain while sleeping. The tops of the curtains were also tightly covered with cloth.
It turned out that the things that these nobles had used to cover when they went out to pay tribute, but now they didn't pay much attention to them. They made the best use of the things and became them to protect them from wind and rain.
The cold wind is blocked, and people stay inside and feel much warmer immediately.
Lin Zhihuang, Lin Zheyun and Pei were resting in a curtain. Lin Zheyun finished delivering the things and returned to the curtain, his face full of displeasure.
"Why, are you angry that Brother Wang has changed his attitude towards you?" Lin Zhihuang laughed.
"How did you know?"
"Brother Wang didn't expect you to appear in Lushan at this moment, but his junior brother is not stupid. He could predict in advance that there would be chaos in Hexian County and avoid disaster in Lushan. How could he not have thought of you when he saw you carrying so much food and grass up the mountain?
