Frankly speaking, Lin Feng's negotiation activities were not favored by those important ministers, and Li Guangdi and Zhou Peigong had made varying degrees of persuasion before Lin Feng set off. In fact, in the Chinese tradition, this kind of nature of activities basically has nothing to do with peace, under normal circumstances, it is either a Hongmen banquet or to show off force, to demonstrate to the other party, because we Chinese have always worshiped power and scheming in political activities and lack that sincere taste, so the first impression of such silly negotiations is "bad intentions", so in this traditional mentality, when the two sides first contacted, they tacitly chose to evade the negotiation atmosphere and the security of the venue. The rebels were not sure what Lin Feng meant, and the diplomats under Lin Feng didn't have the courage to talk about the conditions with the head of the marshal, and it was fair to say that Chen Menglei was indeed a little bitter and unspeakable when he handled this matter.

The situation developed in the expected direction, in the days before the negotiations, the cavalry of the rebel army kept moving in the direction of Shanhaiguan, and the scouts of the Third Army and Chen Menglei's spies in Liaodong sent back the same information, from this military point of view, it can be seen that the two rebel armies attached great importance to this meeting, and the six thousand iron cavalry of Ma Da Pole almost poured out, and the Cao family's brothers almost moved out.

When things developed like this, Lin Feng really didn't have a taste in his heart, originally his attitude was indeed very sincere, the conscience of heaven and earth, he really just wanted to have a good talk with these buddies, but now it has really become a battle posture, at this time he suddenly remembered that in traditional Chinese customs, this kind of appointment has another meaning, that is, "about war", looking at the tents of the righteous army camps scattered outside the city of several square kilometers, he really regretted it, it seems that what Zhou Peigong said is not unreasonable.

However, the current situation does not allow him to back down, because he is the one who started this incident, so he must also pay for his impulses. So on that sunny day, the two sides lined up under the plain outside the Shanhaiguan, the third army of the Han army and Lin Feng brought the 7,000 men and horses all pulled out, relying on the city wall to discharge the battle formation, and the righteous army was naturally not to be outdone, Ma Da pole and the Cao family brothers were arranged separately, of which the infantry of the Cao army was placed in the middle, and the cavalry was arranged on both wings as a shock force.

The weather on this day was very good, the light was abundant, and the line of sight could be extended far away, Lin Feng led the guards to stand at the forefront of the military formation, holding a telescope to carefully look at the enemy formation.

The appearance of the rebels on the opposite side is very bad, in addition to the untidy clothing and weapons, their mental state is not good, especially the infantry phalanx in the center, from the beginning to the present, Lin Feng has been silently counting, they from the barracks to the formation, it actually took nearly an hour, and the two armies did not keep quiet when they were facing each other, in the lens of the telescope, Lin Feng could directly observe that those peasant armies have been whispering to each other, and what is even more funny is that Many people in the first row actually took out a dry tobacco stick when they were free, and looked left and right with clouds and mist.

Compared to their infantry, the cavalry on both flanks was only a little better. Because they were the target that Lin Feng was fighting for this time, he made a careful observation of this group of cavalry troops. To be fair, the war horses of the Liaodong cavalry do look better than the Mongolian horses of the Han army from the appearance, at least they look much taller and more majestic, but their weapons are very non-standardized, and they also seriously lack armor, except for a few people who have some iron plate armor to protect their chests, most of the others are naked, in the process of entering the position one after another, Lin Feng observed that although the cavalry on the left with the "horse" word battle flag is extremely scattered, it seems to be better armed, basically spears, sabers, bows and arrows are readily available, On the other hand, many of the cavalry on the right flank had only one saber.

After observing the appearance of the enemy army, Lin Feng suddenly hesitated a little in his heart, because judging from the observations, the army in front of him seemed to be very poor in combat, lacking both weapons and training, and it seemed that there were few veterans with combat experience, and there was no will to fight. He was very suspicious that if there was a real fight, he was afraid that if the artillery fired twice and the muskets fired twice, the cavalry would charge and kill the army and collapse.

It seems that this reckless negotiation is not a bad thing, and if it is really as I judge, it seems that this peace contact can turn into a conspiracy to decoy and annihilate.

The generals of the Han army next to them obviously have this idea, at this time, many even looked at their big handsome with admiration, the big handsome is really resourceful, if this group of bandits is hidden in the poor mountains and bad waters of Liaodong, it is really troublesome to conquer and suppress, and now it is time to wipe them out.

"Alas......" Wang Dahai next to him glanced at Lin Feng with a complicated expression from the corner of his eye, and suddenly sighed, "It seems that the Qing army in Liaodong is really useless, and even these guys can't beat ......."

Lin Feng was silent, whether to fight or not?! I hesitated very much, such a big cake was placed on the table straightforwardly, but who could have known that there was no poison in it? At this time, he really missed Zhou Peigong and Wang Shirong a little, if they were there, he might be able to give some good advice.

Wang Dahai saw that Lin Feng had been delayed in picking up this stubble, and he always looked at the military formation opposite, and couldn't help but be a little anxious, "...... Lord...... My handsome ......" He had the courage to push Lin Feng, pointed to the scattered military formation on the opposite side, and persuaded bitterly, "After this village, there will be no such shop!" ……”

Lin Feng turned his head hesitantly and stared at Wang Dahai with a blank look in his eyes. At this moment, he did not doubt that he would be able to defeat the enemy army on the opposite side, but there seemed to be something in his heart, but when he thought about it, he couldn't think of it for a while.

"Lord!!" The two cavalry brigade commanders next to him couldn't help but interject, "The last general and the others also think that if the hunt is fruitless this time-then next time when they return to Liaodong, this battle will not be easy to fight!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the officers next to them nodded again and again. The Han military system has always rewarded the heaviest with military merits, and the clay leg poles in front of them are obviously soft persimmons, which is really a rare opportunity.

"They returned to Liaodong? ......" Lin Feng muttered silently in his mouth, his heart was suddenly shocked, he suddenly realized it, his chest suddenly opened up, and the doubts that he didn't understand at first were solved one by one, and seeing that the officers were still seeking to fight, he reprimanded loudly, "Shut up!" - What do you know?! ”

The officers were stunned, and their expressions were very unconvinced.

Lin Feng raised his whip and pointed to the military formation opposite, "If you are the generals on the opposite side, do you have the courage to fight this battle?!" He turned his head and glanced at Wang Dahai, "Dahai, Ben Shuai will test you today, you said that if you are the enemy general on the other side, how will this battle be fought?!" ”

Wang Dahai was taken aback, looked at Lin Feng with a confused expression, then turned his head to look at the enemy formation, frowned and condensed slightly, thought for a long time, raised his head and said with a helpless wry smile, "Dashuai is really difficult for me...... Our army has a strong city to rely on, and there are all kinds of artillery auxiliary formations, the general is a long-term general, the soldier is a long-trained soldier, if such a hard-faced face-to-face battle, even if Sun Tzu is resurrected, there is no chance of victory," he shook his head, "If I am the main general on the opposite side, as soon as the battle starts, the infantry will be ordered to drag our army, and then the two wings will retreat sharply, our army's cavalry is insufficient, if they want to leave, I am afraid they will ......" He suddenly reacted, stunned for a moment, and looked at Lin Feng suspiciously, "The marshal means ......"

"Very good, the sea you have grown a lot!" Lin Feng smiled and patted Wang Dahai on the shoulder, "A few old brothers who have come over from Linji County, the fourth brother is fierce and brave, and Guangyuan has the way to control the army and is not chaotic in the face of danger, and when it comes to being thoughtful and cautious, it is also your strength!" ”

Wang Dahai was grateful, humble, and then said suspiciously, "But...... If it is according to the lord's will, then why are they so opposed to our army? - Knowing that you are going to lose the battle and still come to fight, is it crazy to be crazy?! ”

"That's politics! You don't understand......" Lin Feng groaned slightly, and finally continued, he pointed to the banner with the word "horse" on the opposite side, "Ben Shuai estimates that the famous halls here are all made up by Ma Da pole - he just wants to make a piece of the world in Liaodong by himself, but because the reputation of the horse bandits is too stinky, he failed to get the support of the Liaodong fathers and elders led by the Cao family brothers, and today's scene is obviously to tempt our army to take advantage, but actually wants to stumble on our army!" If our army starts fighting, he will immediately withdraw his troops, and his troops are all elite iron cavalry, and there will be no losses, and after going back, he can make a lot of nonsense, saying that our Han and Tartars are in a gang, and want to kill all the Liaodong people or something - this plan of killing two birds with one stone, one can use the sword of our army to destroy and weaken the Cao family brothers, and the other is to use the commander to use this commander' Treachery' to invite the support of the Liaodong people, if our army is blind to the sword soldiers, he will be sold treacherously, then if our army wants to enter Liaodong in the future, I am afraid that it will be thorny step by step, and everyone is my enemy! ”

Seeing Wang Dahai and the other officers looking at each other in disbelief, Lin Feng smiled, then his face turned solemn, and he reprimanded, "The so-called war is an extension of politics, and the gains and losses may not be measured from the battlefield. ——This battle is not fought with swords, guns and artillery, it is the hearts of the people of Liaodong, you are all the pillars of my Han Dynasty, you must remember that the so-called way of the king, the victory over the imperial court without swords, is the reason that the ancestors exchanged countless blood for," he said in a loud voice, pointing to the righteous army on the opposite side, "And you have made a big mistake, you see that the enemy army on the opposite side is not right, and the armor is not complete, so you will underestimate the enemy's heart - and now the world is in turmoil, heroes are numerous, if there are people in this world who can raise troops to chase the deer, they will decide to start from the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, How many fools and fools can get out of the scheming?! ”

An officer sweated profusely and nodded his head in apology. Lin Feng shook his head, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately he came back to his senses just now, otherwise he might have been deceived by the temptation of this "Liaodong by World War I", it seems that this Ma Da pole is really a hero, thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, slapped the horse's buttocks, rushed out of the Chinese military formation, ran to the open space in the center of the two armies, and shouted, "Ma Da pole, the boss of the Cao family, Lao Tzu is Lin Feng - a dog, are you fucking bad?!" ”

Seeing that the big marshal came out of the battle, Li Ergou hurriedly led the guards to step forward and rushed to the left and right guards in the formation.

There was silence in the rebel army for a long time, and a rough voice laughed loudly, "Let your mother's fart, I've been waiting for you!" The cavalry formations on both wings broke through layer by layer, and a big banner with the word "horse" walked to the front of the formation, and the big man led by him smiled, "The surname Lin is really a man - Lao Tzu is the big pole of the horse," he turned sideways and gave way, pointing to the three big black men behind him and introduced, "This is the Cao family!" ”

"Then what the fuck are you instigating?!" Lin Feng choked his throat and shouted, "Mom, do you want Lao Tzu to carry you a sedan chair?!" ”

"Lin Dashuai, don't blame our brothers for not being on the road," Ma Da Pole smiled from afar, "You first tell the team behind you to retreat - there are few people in your official mansion who are trustworthy, we have to have something to say first!" ”

Lin Feng turned his head and said to Li Ergou and the other soldiers, "Move some tables and benches—dogs, you bring a few brothers who have work in their hands to wait, and the rest go back and rest!" ”

“…… But Dashuai, these guys ......" Li Ergou couldn't help but persuade, and as soon as he raised his head to meet Lin Feng's stern eyes, he was so frightened that he swallowed the second half of the sentence hard, and turned around to command his own soldiers to be busy arranging.

There was nothing good to do in the battle array, and it was not good to go back to the city to move the table at this time, so a team of guards was busy for a long time, gathered two short-legged eight immortal tables and a dozen marching horses, and barely managed to get a negotiation venue. Lin Feng jumped off the horse, sat down first with his army on his back, and shouted to the leader of the rebel army such as Ma Da Pole, "It's done - don't blame the brother for not greeting him well, there is no wine, food, tea, or water, if you don't dislike it, you might as well come over and nag and nag!" ”

Tens of thousands of troops on both sides are staring at me, negotiating in front of the two armies, this matter is indeed very exciting, seeing Lin Feng so refreshing, Ma Da Pole really admired it in his heart, and no longer hesitated at the moment, led a few horse thief leaders and went straight over, and the Cao family brothers hesitated for a moment, and then followed.

When I got closer, I found that although Ma Da Pole was known as a bandit, his appearance was really good, contrary to his rough voice, his face was fair-skinned, his eyebrows were long, his facial features were very handsome, and the beard under his chin was also cleanly shaved. In contrast, the Cao family brothers are more like war generals, the third brother is a mold, a big man with a black face, a simple and honest face, and seeing Lin Feng's behavior is also very unnatural.

"Lao Ma, Cao Kunzhong, brother made a special trip from Beijing to Liaodong to visit a few people this time, and I don't want to say more kind words," Lin Feng stood up with a smile and pointed to Xiao Mazha to give up his seat, "What kind of charter are you over there?!" ”

"Lin Dashuai is really fast," Ma Dazhuzi smiled slightly, there was no need to shout loudly at the moment, his voice sounded much more pleasant, "This time you came from afar, and the little brother was unable to welcome him as a landlord, which is indeed a bit rude!" ”

Lin Feng smiled and turned his head to look at the Cao family brothers, only to see that after they sat down, they just hugged their fists, and stopped talking after saying that they had seen it, and between their words, it seemed that everything was decided by Ma Da Pole.

"Old Ma, brother doesn't like to play false, if you speak straight, don't be surprised," Lin Feng gently slapped the table, and said with a smile, "This Shanhaiguan is a brother's place, this landlord, let the brother do a good job!" ”

"Oh?! ......" Ma Da Zhu pretended to be surprised and glared, "Could it be that the commander means that whose soldiers hit where, then whose territory belongs to it?" - If that's the case, then don't you and I have no landlords to be the landlords, and we have to let the Manchu Tartars come to greet us?! ”

"Hehe, forget it, to be honest, I don't like to hear this—let's stop talking nonsense," Lin Feng shook his head and smiled, "Ben Shuai came here in person this time, it's sincere enough, right?" I said Lao Ma, everyone is born with a knife and licking blood, let's not mother-in-law, mother-in-law, everything is put on the table and said-Ben Shuai means to let you, as well as Cao's Kunzhong and your brothers, come over, let's do it together! ”

"Good! Brother also means this," Ma Da Pole immediately smiled, and said solemnly, "Lin Dashuai wiped out the Tartar court in one fell swoop, and did a great thing vigorously, our brothers have admired it for a long time, so I mentioned it to the brothers that day, and there is no one who is unwilling to do it with you-hehe, Ma is not talented, if the marshal allocates us food, muskets, cannons and other military baggage, brother is willing to lead this ticket brother to our Han Dynasty to fight Liaodong, if a Tartar crosses the Shanhaiguan, you will cut off our head!! The words were loud, and his face was full of sincerity, looking at Lin Feng hotly.
