At the same time that Li Qingshan saw Du Zishan, the atmosphere in the commander's tent in the official army camp was also solemn.

"Do you think Aoyama can succeed?" Lin Fan sat on the bookcase and asked the attendees.

The others didn't know how to answer Lin Fan's question, so most of them chose to remain silent.

Only An Ning shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, the specific result still depends on what the negotiation situation between Qingshan and Du Zishan is." ”

Fortunately, Lin Fan didn't want to get an answer from them, he sighed, and said with some regret: "Alas, maybe I'm in a hurry, this matter should be done when it's more secure." ”

Through this ambush, An Ning annihilated the thief reinforcements in one fell swoop.

On the side of Anning, they escorted the prisoners to Gwangju, and at the same time sent someone to bring the news of Lin Fan's victory.

Relieved of their worries, Lin Fan and the others put all their spirit on the side of the thief army camp.

With the current strength of the official army, it is not impossible to storm the thief camp, but it will have to pay a lot of casualties for this.

And this result is something that Lin Fan, who is still from a thin family, does not want to see.

So he quickly thought of another way, which was to send someone to persuade him to surrender.

If this method can be successful, the officers and soldiers can not only avoid casualties, but also select some elite soldiers from those thieves to replenish the manpower lost by the officers and soldiers in this battle.

At first, everyone was not very appreciative of this. Because this thing seems too absurd, you must know that the main force in Du Zishan's camp still exists, and it is not that there is no strength to fight, and it is not easy to persuade him to surrender.

But Lin Fan had already proved through this ambush that he would not be untargeted, so since this matter was brought up by Lin Fan, everyone had an attitude of trying it out and did not object. Anyway, even if things don't work out, it won't cause any big losses to the officers and soldiers.

According to Lin Fan's own ideas, since this method was proposed by him, it was best for him to talk about it in person.

As soon as he said this, he was unanimously rejected by everyone present.

Right now, the two armies are fighting, and if Lin Fan goes, it will be tantamount to a sheep in the mouth of a tiger.

If the thief army took this opportunity to detain Lin Fan or kill him directly, then this battle would not be able to be fought. In this way, the officers and troops should surrender to Du Zishan.

To put it mildly, everyone persuaded Lin Fan and made him dispel this idea.

But then everyone made a mistake again, Lin Fan couldn't go, so who was the most appropriate to send?

A person who can be a persuader must not only be able to speak well, but also have a certain status. The most important thing is to be bold, those who can't retract their heads into their crotch as soon as they are frightened by others will definitely not work.

According to these prerequisites, everyone looked around, only to find that there was no such person at all.

Like Deng Wentong and Zeng Liang, let them fight, let them fight, let them persuade them to surrender, this is too difficult for them.

Not to mention Wang Hu, with his straight nature, he will be pulled out and cut down if he can't say a few words.

And An Ning and Chen Fangshu are logically suitable. But they are too young, and in Du Zishan's eyes, their words may not be very convincing.

Moreover, they and the thief army have all seen it on the battlefield, and the reinforcements of the thief camp were also destroyed by their own hands.

As the so-called enemies are very red when they meet, the possibility of Du Zishan accepting An Ning's persuasion to surrender is far less great than killing them to avenge the thieves who died in battle.

What's more, in the eyes of the thieves, the death of An Ning and them will undoubtedly make the officers and soldiers lose two generals, and it is not impossible for the situation to be reversed.

Excluding these people from Shenzhou, among the remaining people, it is not a bad choice to pick out one from Zhang Qi's side in Gwangju.

However, these people on the Gwangju side lacked a little courage after all, and if they were allowed to go, they would definitely not succeed, but they would be laughed at by the thieves.

Just when everyone was at a loss and planned to give up this method and think of another way.

Li Qingshan took the initiative to stand up, and he volunteered to serve as the messenger of this persuasion.

Because Li Qingshan was just a scribe, Lin Fan was worried about his safety and wanted to refuse.

And Li Qingshan confidently said to Lin Fan that he had a way, even if he didn't succeed, he could save himself.

According to him, whether or not this can be done has nothing to do with personal bravery. After entering the camp of the thief army, no matter how high the personal force is, it can't make a splash.

Although there is some truth in his words, in fact, Lin Fan knows that Li Qingshan is full of confidence on the surface, but in fact, he may not be too sure in his heart.

The reason why he took the initiative to stand up was because of the sense of crisis he had in his heart.

Everyone is an old man who has followed Lin Fan since Yongyang, and now An Ning and they have all entered the house and become real court officials. And he can only be Lin Fan's scribe, and he has been distanced a lot by them.

Especially compared with Chen Fangshu, the two have followed Lin Fan for about the same time, Chen Fangshu is much younger than him, but now that Chen Fangshu has walked in front of him, it is impossible to say that there is no gap in his heart.

Li Qingshan understood that Lin Fan would move to a higher position sooner or later, and there would definitely be more and more talented people following him at that time.

The reason why he can be reused by Lin Fan now is because there are not enough people around him to use. And once this situation changes in the future, how should he, Li Qingshan, deal with himself.

It is true that Lin Fan is a person who values feelings, but on the premise that he does not have enough credit, even if Lin Fan takes care of himself in terms of affection, how far can he go? Why did he stand side by side with An Ning and Chen Fangshu behind Lin Fan?

And he is different from others, he is a tainted person, which is quite unfavorable to him and will affect his future promotion.

Compared with those who will follow Lin Fan in the future, his only advantage is that he followed Lin Fan earlier. It is on this basis that he now stands ahead of those who come after him.

But this alone is far from enough, he has now been pulled down by Chen Fangshu at the same time.

If no changes are made, this gap will only grow in the future, and they will be left far behind. If he continues like this, maybe in the end, he won't even have the qualifications to follow Lin Fan.

And if he wants to change the status quo, he must have more opportunities to express himself and make enough credit to keep up with others.

For Li Qingshan, he can't do this kind of shoulder

A scholar who can't resist and can't mention it, if he wants to count on the little military exploits he has accumulated on the battlefield to compare with others, then he may not even want to see the shadows of An Ning and Chen Fangshu in his life.

Wanting to catch up with them, Li Qingshan thought that he could only find another way.

What is in front of us is such an opportunity, and although the stakes are high, the rewards are just as great. If he really did this, maybe he would be able to use this credit to get an official position.

Rich and dangerous, he didn't want to miss such an opportunity, so he took the initiative to ask to go and persuade him to surrender.

Due to Li Qingshan's insistence, Lin Fan could only reluctantly agree. But let him promise to be safe and try not to do anything that might anger the thief army. It doesn't matter if you can't persuade you to surrender, it's the most important thing to come back alive.

In fact, after Li Qingshan and the others set off, Lin Fan secretly regretted it.

He made this plan for himself, so he didn't think it was anything when he first came up with it.

But this matter was put on Li Qingshan and them, which made him feel a little reckless, and he should decide whether he should implement it after considering it thoroughly.

Seeing that Lin Fan still had worry on his face, Deng Wentong persuaded him: "Your Excellency doesn't need to be too worried, on the surface, the thief camp is still very calm, and there is no turmoil, which proves that there is not much going on inside, at least at the moment, Li Shuban should have no problem with their safety!" ”

Lin Fan snorted: "I know, it's just that there is no news after they entered the camp, which makes me a little uneasy!" ”

What Deng Wentong said was the same as Lin Fan's conjecture, judging from the experience of the officers and soldiers in dealing with thieves in the past, if Li Qingshan and them were killed, their heads would have been thrown out of the camp long ago to mock and anger the officers and soldiers.

Since this hasn't happened yet, it means that things haven't gone in the worst direction yet.

From this point of view, Du Zishan did not refuse, or did not completely refuse to negotiate with the officials and soldiers.

This also means that Du Zishan did not consider contacting the official army.

He may not be willing to surrender, but he also does not regard the officers and soldiers as enemies who must be killed or killed.

may be because Du Zishan was originally born in the official army and has not been oppressed by officials. He did not hate the court and the government as much as other high-ranking thieves, which may be the reason why he was willing to negotiate with the officials and soldiers.

For the officers and soldiers, this is much better than facing a crazy Du Zishan who has lost his mind. No matter whether this persuasion can be achieved or not, as long as they don't deliberately provoke him, Li Qingshan's safety is still guaranteed to a certain extent.

However, it was useless to know this, except for making Lin Fan feel a little relieved, there was no improvement in the slightest about the situation Li Qingshan and the others were encountering at the moment.

In order not to let Deng Wentong and them worry about themselves, Lin Fan could only keep his anxiety and worry in his heart. Since they can't do anything now, there's no need to make everyone as anxious as he is.

The only thing they can do now is wait. Whether the news from there is good or bad, they can only wait.

So he honestly sat down in his chair, both to calm himself down and to calm the hearts of others.

It's just that whenever someone enters and leaves the camp tent or there is a scout to report the news, Lin Fan's involuntary gaze still proves the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart.
