The good news of the recovery of Wuwei Pass spread throughout Yongzhou immediately.
Not only the people of Yongzhou were rejoicing, but the entire Chen Kingdom was shocked.
With Wuweiguan in hand, it can directly resist direct attacks from the Xiongnu in the north and the Qiang and Di tribes in the west.
As for the Khitan in the north, although they invaded and plundered from time to time, the pressure on the Yongzhou sergeants was immediately reduced a lot.
The only regret is that Lin Weiwu, the general of the Weiwu Guard, died heroically while trying to win the battle.
This sad news also made the whole country sad and shed tears.
As a time traveler, Zhou Yi admired Lin Weiwu sincerely after hearing that Lin Weiwu, a 70-year-old veteran, died heroically as a bait and spearhead in attacking Wuwei Pass.
Whether it is the Han people in the previous life or the Chinese people who have traveled through this time and space, these two nations have never lacked people who are willing to sacrifice for the people.
Zhou Yi felt that he should do something for veteran generals and heroes like Lin Weiwu. So he wrote a sacrificial poem and sent it through Bai Sheng in the capital to the general's palace where the funeral was being held.
At the same time, Zhou Yi wrote the incident of Senior General Lin Weiwu leading more than 5,000 elite soldiers to rob Wuwei Pass into the textbook for nine-year compulsory education compiled by him, and widely publicized Senior General Lin Weiwu among the people in Pingjiang and Pingliang counties. The heroic deeds and Wuweiguan spirit.
Once Zhou Yi used Zhao Zilong, who entered and exited seven times in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", to deceive the people of Pingliang County. They were as excited as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood.
Now with this real case around them, the people in Pingjiang and Pingliang counties can be even more inspired.
In the General's Mansion in the capital, there was an atmosphere of mourning and solemnity.
However, Lin Weiwu and his son had made such an important contribution to the recovery of Wuwei Pass. There were still rumors in the capital that General Lin Weiwu had not followed the permission of the Holy Emperor and mobilized the army privately. This move was tantamount to rebellion.
Even if Wuwei Pass is recovered this time, the Lin family will still be punished by mobilizing an army without permission.
Therefore, in order to avoid being implicated by the Lin family, even the funeral of old General Lin was still not attended by many officials in the capital.
Those people were afraid that if they attended the Lin family's funeral, they would be linked to a Lin family relative.
If the emperor really listened to the treacherous Prime Minister Yan Song and really accused the Lin family of being disrespectful and recklessly using the army, then none of the people who came to attend the funeral would be able to escape.
Therefore, there are only some mighty guard generals promoted by the old general Lin Weiwu in the entire Lin family.
"What kind of thing is this? You have to be punished after winning a battle. How can there be such a reason in the world!" Deng Ponu, Lin Zhenyuan's personal soldier, cursed and complained.
Deng Ponu's friend Zhu Mingyi quickly reminded: "Idiot, be careful, where do you think this is? This is Hanyang City in Kyoto, and there may be many ears and eyes of the traitorous Prime Minister Yan Song here. Your nonsense will probably cause trouble for the young general!"
When Deng Ponu heard this, he immediately shut his mouth and stopped yelling!
At this moment, Lin Zhenyuan, who was kneeling in the mourning hall to pay filial piety to his father, looked at his father lying in the coffin with despair. He did not expect that his father had sacrificed his life for Chen Guolian and received such treatment. After his death, the court said Not even an official came to express condolences.
At this time, a servant suddenly ran into the house and reported: "Reporting to the general, Bai Sheng, a wealthy businessman in the capital, brought a volume of sacrificial poems and said he came to pay homage to General Lin!"
Deng Ponu and Zhu Mingyi immediately became furious after hearing this.
Zhu Mingyi said angrily: "What kind of person is this guy? A businessman actually dares to board the door of the general's mansion. I think he is not here to pay homage to the old general, but is sent by the traitor Prime Minister Yan Song to disgust us!"
Deng Ponu also echoed and said: "Major General, I'm going to kill that merchant and see how his treacherous face mocks us!"
Lin Zhenyuan is also in his thirties, and has long passed the age when he was young, energetic and reckless. In addition, he is now the pillar of the entire Lin family, so naturally he will not think that simple.
Lin Zhenyuan immediately stopped Deng Ponu and said: "Now the entire capital regards my Lin family as the god of plague, and there is actually a merchant who dares to pay homage to me."
"Don't say he is a merchant, even if he is a lowly person, I will treat him with courtesy if he comes to pay my respects to my father! Po Nu, you go and invite him over, be sure not to lose your etiquette!"
When Deng Ponu came to the door of the General's Mansion, he saw a man with a sinister eyebrow and a rat face standing respectfully outside the door.
As soon as he saw Bai Sheng's appearance, Deng Ponu felt more and more that Zhu Mingyi's guess was correct.
So he "invited" Bai Sheng into the mansion very politely, and it was Deng Ponu who "invited" him into the mansion himself.
When they arrived at the mourning hall, Deng Ponu placed Bai Shengdun on the ground again.
"Speaking of which, what does your master Yan Song want you to bring?" Deng Ponu asked bluntly.
Lin Zhenyuan, on the other hand, was relatively calm and said calmly: "If you are really here to pay homage to my father, then everyone in my Lin family will express my gratitude to you. If you are really here to deliver a message to the traitor Prime Minister Yansong, you can leave right now." !”
Bai Sheng, who was originally confused by being brought in, immediately breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "I am indeed here to pay my respects to General Lin on behalf of my master!"
Just when Zhu Mingyi and Deng Ponu were about to drive Bai Sheng out, they heard him say again: "But my master is not the traitor Yan Song."
Zhu Mingyi heard this, but still said sarcastically: "Your master didn't come in person, but he sent you, a guy with a sly eyebrow and a rat's eye. You're probably a rat who only knows how to flatter you!"
It doesn't matter if he scolds himself, but Bai Sheng can't bear to scold his master Zhou Yi.
Bai Sheng immediately retorted: "This general is still alive. It must be that he was greedy for life and afraid of death during the Weiwu Pass, so he survived by hiding at the end!"
Seeing that he was being ridiculed by such a businessman, Zhu Mingyi was so angry that he immediately wanted to punch him.
But this time, Bai Sheng did not act submissive like when he was brought into Lin's house before. Instead, he straightened his back and faced Zhu Mingyi's fist with a strong back.
Lin Zhenyuan was also quite surprised by this and immediately called Zhu Mingyi. "stop!"
Bai Sheng saluted Lin Zhenyuan and said, "Forgive me, General Lin. It's not that my master and the ministers of the court are afraid of getting involved with the Lin family. It's really because I can't come in person because my master is thousands of miles away." , so I sent someone to deliver a sacrificial poem and asked me to pass it on to you, General!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhenyuan returned the same salute and asked, "Mr. Bai, who is your master?"
"To be honest, my master is the sixth-grade observer, the magistrate of Pingjiang County in Yongzhou, and the previous emperor tested Lord Huarang Zhou Yizhou!"
Bai Sheng took out the sacrificial poem written by Zhou Yi from his sleeve, bowed respectfully to Lin Zhenyuan again, and said: "General Lin, my master has been a close friend of General Lin for a long time. I never thought that I would not be able to see him with my own eyes." He looks like an old general, so painful and sad!"
"This is a memorial poem written by my lord personally for General Lin, please take a look at it!"
