Tian Jianxiu, the word Yufeng, this is Li Zicheng's general of both literature and martial arts, he is polite and polite, can speak, read, and read, but he is not ambiguous when he fights, he charges into battle, leads the troops, bravely crowns the three armies, and has the style of a Confucian general.

This time, Li Zicheng sent an envoy to meet with Lin Yi.

Lin Yi let him in, ordered the account to be raised, and the generals under him stood on both sides, and Lin Yi sat in the handsome position.

As soon as Tian Jianxiu entered Lin Yi's camp, he felt murderous, and many people looked at him angrily.

Tian Jianxiu didn't care, as if he hadn't seen it, after coming in and seeing Lin Yi, he bowed down and gave a salute, and then first gave the gift list.

Someone took it and presented it to Lin Yi, Lin Yi looked at 50,000 taels of silver, this gift is not light, but the thief gave gifts to the officials and soldiers, this matter can be cautious. If you are courteous to others, you will ask for something.

"What do you mean by this?" Lin Yi looked at this Tian Jianxiu and said.

"The name of Commander Lin is like thunder, although we are on the same page, but Tian still admires Commander Lin in his heart, he governs the army in a good way, Wen Taowu is not inferior to the sages, far from being comparable to those corrupt officials, this time I have the honor to visit, Tian is really fortunate to have three lives."

"Oh, don't dare to be, I'm glad I will." Regarding Tian Jianxiu's praise, Lin Yi smiled and said modestly.

Then Tian Jianxiu explained the intention, first to test whether Li Guo and Li Laiheng's father and son were killed, and after confirming that the two were unscathed, Tian Jianxiu said that the main purpose of this trip was to use the 50,000 taels of silver in exchange for Li Guo and Li Laiheng.

If this matter is changed to others, it will be difficult to talk about it, and he will not even have the courage to dare to step into Lin Yi's camp. But Tian Jianxiu is different, neither humble nor arrogant, talking eloquently, without the slightest cowardice.

He used the rules set by Lin Yi in the army to persuade Lin Yi, saying that Lin Yi treats prisoners preferentially, and his consistent policy towards prisoners is not to kill and surrender, but to obey their wishes.

When Lin Yi's generals heard this, they were all a little ridiculous, and Li Zicheng and they really could think that they would be able to dream of spring and autumn in broad daylight. With 50,000 taels of silver, you want us to let the two of them go? It's just whimsical!

Lin Yi laughed when he heard this, and he had to admire Tian Jianxiu's courage and ability to speak. According to his meaning, he can only release people, and he can get 50,000 taels of silver, which has many benefits. If you don't let it go, then you don't abide by the policy of treating prisoners well, which is called going back on your word, losing your trust, giving people a handle, and passing on it as a bad talk, and the surname Tian is really a smart person.

"It's a bit unsatisfactory for Commander Tian to say this, yes, I, Lin Yi, treat the captives like this, but this prisoner is not his captive, and the people Lin Yi released are all people who surrender on their own initiative, and those who are unwilling to fight with Lin can return to the field according to his wishes, after persuasion, as a Shunmin of the Ming Dynasty, no longer fight against the imperial court, no matter what he thinks in his heart, or what he plans to do in the future, at least on the surface, he has to promise in person, and Li Guo and Li Laiheng are people who fight desperately with Lin, and I, Lin Yi, dare to assert, If their father and son are released, they will still fight against Lin and fight against the court to the end. Commander Tianda, can this be the same? ”

Tian Jianxiu saw that he had secretly changed his concept, and the trick of treating him with his own would not work, and the surname Lin would not obey, so he would not say more. Then he took out the second set of plans, took out Li Zicheng's handwritten handwriting, and presented it to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi took a look, is this from Li Zicheng? There are really a lot of writings, but he is so famous that he really can't be flattering. It's crooked, and it's far from what I wrote.

Although I am not from this society, I have not been in this society for a long time, and I have only been practicing calligraphy for a few days, but it is much better than what Li Zicheng wrote.

But it can be seen that Li Zicheng writes very seriously, at least there is no missing arm or leg.

However, Lin Yi knew that Li Zicheng had been a monk since he was a child, and later herded cattle and sheep for the landlord, and then went to be a soldier, and then rebelled and became a thief.

is such a character, it is estimated that he learned it when he was a post soldier, otherwise it is estimated that he can't even write his own name, which can't be blamed on him, that kind of society, that kind of environment, even if he is willing to learn, no one teaches him.

But if he can't write well, he can find someone to write for him, and there are thousands of people under him, so there is no knowledge? However, Lin Yi thought that these were all thieves, most of them were hungry people, or the officials and soldiers rebelled and surrendered, where would there be literate people, a group of reckless, at this time, that Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, and what Li Gongzi, these learned people, must not have joined their team.

When Lin Yi thought of this, he didn't bother with his words anymore. After reading it patiently, I understood what Li Zicheng meant.

Li Zicheng persuaded him in the letter that the timely service is Junjie, what is the current imperial court, the court let him see the situation clearly, the court orders are changed at the moment, corruption and incompetence, ignoring the life and death of the people, traitorous ministers get in the way, wicked people seize power, corrupt officials and corrupt officials are flooded inside and outside the court, traitors and criminals are popular, the people of Li live in fire and water, miserable, and the officials have to rebel. Our opposition to the imperial court is completely for the sake of heaven and the elimination of violence and peace.

In addition, the birds are exhausted, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked. Don't you see the fate of Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting?

After reading this letter, Lin Yi had to praise Li Zicheng as a character, although he had no ink on his chest and his writing was crooked, but the words he said showed the demeanor and wisdom of a peasant army leader.

On this letter, it was written crookedly for a long time, and Lin Yi wanted to summarize the central idea of this essay for him, that is, two points, one is to flaunt his righteousness and righteousness, and the other is to make Lin Yi a little more sophisticated, and the matter of suppressing thieves will be done as an official of the imperial court, so he doesn't have to take it too seriously. If these thieves are really wiped out, what is the use of him as the commander of the thieves? If the mice are gone, will the cat still be revered?

Lin Yi smiled dumbly when he saw this.

Lin Yi's generals also laughed, including Zhang Hua, Dongsheng, Xiaoying, Zhezhe and others. Although they don't know what the content of this letter is now, Li Zicheng should not have a good heart when he wrote it to Lin Yi. But this is to beg their commander Lin Da to release people, it must be good to say everything, pretend to be pitiful, give benefits, pull relationships, fake surrender, it's nothing more than these routines.

How wise are we, Lord Lin, how can we be fooled like this? The man surnamed Tian is waiting to be blasted out, or slaughtered in a fit of rage.

When Lin Yi read the letter, Tian Jianxiu also stared at Lin Yi's expression, and it wasn't until a smile appeared on Lin Yi's face that Tian Jianxiu felt a little hopeful.

This is Lin Yi putting the letter on the table: "Okay, this letter and the silver book are left, Li Guo and Li Laiheng will be handed over to you to take away, come on, let the two of them go."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Yi's generals were a little dumbfounded, feeling that they had heard it wrong, or that the Great Commander had said it wrong. Just let it go? Is it just for 50,000 taels of silver? Li Guo and Li Laiheng are both enemies of 10,000 people, and there will be troubles when the tiger returns to the mountain. How can you just let it go?

looked at Lin Yi puzzled for a while, with a stupid expression on his face.

What was even more surprising was Tian Jianxiu, he felt that Lin Yi would put forward some conditions, but he didn't expect to agree to release him like this, is it really fake? It can't be a hallucination in your ears, right? Therefore, Tian Jianxiu also stared at Lin Yi with a bewildered expression.

Lin Yi saw that his soldiers were indifferent, and they all looked incredulous, so he had to repeat a sentence.

"Why, didn't you hear what I said? Let go! ”

"No."

This time, I heard it clearly, and it was true, someone had already promised to pick someone up.

Lin Yi's generals, Zu Keyong, Zhang Hua, Dong Sheng, Xiao Ying, Zhezhe, Wang Jian, Gan Bao, Jiang Xingyuan, and so on. They all looked incredulous, and they looked at each other at the end. But on such occasions, no one dared to say more than half a word, and only dared to whisper in private.

Tian Jianxiu hurriedly looked very grateful, and saluted Lin Yi again, for fear that Lin Yi would change his mind.

"The great commander is really high-spirited, the heroes who know the current affairs, Tian admires and admires, and he is in charge of our father and son, thank you for the kindness of the great commander."

"Commander Tian doesn't have to be like this, Lin still has a reluctance, I don't know if Commander Tian can be the master?"

"Oh?" Tian Jianxiu was stunned for a moment, "If the Great Commander has something to say, please speak face to face, and if you can, you will do what you can." ”
