Everyone was laughing to themselves, and suddenly they heard a loud "boom" in the main hall, as if the sky was falling apart. Everyone looked in horror, but saw that the main body of the Chengtian Temple, which was raging in flames, collapsed in the fire. For a while, the smoke and dust rushed into the sky, and the flames scattered in all directions, as if a volcano erupted, and the scene was really terrifying. Within a radius of 100 steps, there was a chaos of fireworks and fireworks. After the collapse, the entire hall was on fire, and the main hall below was also engulfed in flames. If Lin Jue and the others hadn't gotten out of it at this moment, they would have become charcoal by now. In fact, before this, it should have been roasted and dried. It's scary to think about.

Everyone hurriedly retreated to avoid suffering from the pond fish. The splashing sparks have already set some of the surrounding vegetation on fire, and may soon spread to other temples. So Lin Jue immediately ordered everyone to withdraw from the palace. At the same time, he ordered the men to cut down the surrounding trees and extinguish the small fires, so as not to cause the entire palace to burn down. Although even if these temples are burned down, it is not a big deal, but after all, this condenses the blood, sweat and anointment of a large number of people, and it took a lot of manpower and material resources to build, so it is best to keep nature.

After a bit of chaos, the rising sun has already reached the third pole. Lin Jue, Ma Bin, Sun Dayong, Ma Changqing, Han Gang and others were able to sit down and speak peacefully in a mansion in the city. Until this moment, Han just had the opportunity to communicate with Lin Jue.

"Lord Han, you were full of questions before, but now it's time for my brother to answer them. Actually, you don't need to say more, you should already understand all of this. That's right, everything is Lord Lin's plan, and when he sent troops from Bazhou, Lord Lin had already discussed the entire plan with me. During the attack on Zhuozhou, Lord Lin joined us with the brothers of the Luoyan Army. The plan to attack the Jin Mansion is also a comprehensive plan of Lord Lin. We can connect Zhuozhou and Xijin Mansion, it is all the strategy of Lord Lin. Just because ...... I was afraid that Lord Han would misunderstand in his heart, so I didn't report to Lord Han, hoping that Lord Han wouldn't be angry. Ma Qingshan took the lead in saluting Han Gang and apologized.

Han Gang was indeed quite unhappy in his heart, he was kept in the dark by Ma Qingshan and Lin Jue from beginning to end, like an outsider, of course he was unhappy in his heart. Moreover, he felt as if everything was being manipulated by Lin Jue. From the beginning of the army, it seems that he has fallen into Lin Jue's trap. There is a feeling of being toyed with. However, reason told him that Lin Jue did a perfect job, he never dreamed that this time the troops could achieve such a result, he originally sent troops with the heart of dying on the battlefield, but in fact, now he is not only alive and well, but also captured Xijin Mansion. This achievement alone is enough to boast about for a lifetime.

However, Han Gang had his own thoughts, and he seemed to have guessed Lin Jue's intentions, and he had to show his attitude. When he knew that Lin Jue was manipulating all this behind the scenes, Han Gang almost understood what Lin Jue wanted to do. He actually had his own ideas.

"I see, I said, Brother Ma uses soldiers like a god to command, I thought that Brother Ma had recently obtained some treasure military book, and his strategy suddenly increased. But it turned out to be Lord Lin's plan behind it, so it is not surprising. What kind of person is Lord Lin? Naturally, it was a hand-to-hand capture. However, I am a little curious, why did Lord Lin suddenly come to help us? We are the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou court, and Lord Lin seems to have a different position from us. ”

Han Gang's words seemed a little yin and yang, but Lin Jue didn't care. smiled and arched his hand: "

General Han, Lin has to make some explanations. I have come because I have learned some news about the murder of Yang Shumi, and that there are people in the court who want to take the opportunity to kill Zhongliang and take control of the army. Moreover, the imperial court signed a humiliating treaty with the Liao people, and it was obvious that the Liao people were divided, how could I sit idly by. Therefore, the purpose of this is to destroy the Liao people, and the second is to save my Great Zhou Zhongliang generals. My position is actually not much different from yours, I am for the good of Da Zhou, and you are the same. ”

Han Gang said with a sneer on his face: "That's the case, but why are you hiding it from me? Are you worried that my attempt to rebel against General Ma will be detected by me? I'm afraid you know in your heart that only by convincing Master Ma can you convince me through him. You've taken a hard time. ”

Lin Jue smiled and said, "General Han, I just want to make things go more smoothly from you, because I know that General Han is biased against me." I had a long conversation with Mr. Han a few months ago, and I knew that General Han was a loyal and upright man who would not easily change his position. So in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I discussed with Brother Ma and will not tell you the truth for the time being. However, none of the words that Brother Ma advised you were false. When you received the holy order to go to the capital, in fact, someone wanted to wipe out all of you, Yang Jun's cronies. The content of the peace agreement between the Liao and the Great Zhou court was greasy, and some people borrowed a knife to kill people and colluded with the Liao people to take Yang Jun's life. The Liao's attempt to negotiate peace was not for peace, but to stabilize the Great Zhou, free up his hands to exterminate the Jurchens, and carry out various strategies to break them. None of these things lie to you. The reason why General Han agreed to send troops with General Ma and took risks was because he saw these tricks? ”

Han Gang said in a deep voice: "Indeed, I agree with all these things that Ma Qingshan and I analyzed, but you, Lord Lin, joined it, which makes people confused." I suspect you have another purpose. ”

Lin Jue smiled and said, "What purpose can I have?" ”

Han Gang said: "Do you want to win us over to join your Luoyan Army?" So instigating us to send troops and helping us capture Zhuozhou and Xijin Mansion is to make us grateful to Dade, right? That would persuade us to join your Wild Goose Army, wouldn't you? ”

Lin Jue smiled: "General Han, since you have found out this matter, then I will not deny it." I, the Luoyan Army, welcome General Han and General Ma and all the brothers to join us, and we will fight side by side to defend our homeland and country in the future. What does General Han think? ”

Han Gang laughed and said, "Sure enough, I guessed it." If you are courteous to others, you must have a plan. Lord Lin is also a sincere person, and he doesn't shy away from it. You had the intention of wooing me Han Gang at the beginning, so you naturally thought that I would definitely join you this time, right? ”

Lin Jue smiled and said, "General Han, the Great Zhou has reached the time of storm, and at this time, we must stand up and do something." My Luoyan Army is the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou, so naturally I can't stand idly by. However, my Luoyan Army lacks strength, and I really need to recruit talents. A leading general like General Han is what we lack the most. I do have a love for talent, and if General Han is willing to join us, it will definitely be of great benefit. General Han doesn't want my Great Zhou to fall under the ravages of the Liao people or other places, and he doesn't want my Great Zhou to decline and the people to be miserable. Therefore, I think General Han will definitely not refuse. ”

Han Gang smiled and said, "Lord Lin's eloquence is indeed good, but I'm afraid this matter will disappoint you." I didn't intend to

Join the Luoyan Army, on the contrary, I would like to persuade Lord Lin and the brothers of the Luoyan Army to abandon their past suspicions and join hands with the imperial court when the country is in danger. With Lord Lin's ability, he should be able to turn the tide and establish immortal feats. Today, if you take Xijin Mansion, the imperial court will be happy to commend you, and this moment is the best opportunity for Lord Lin and your Luoyan army to serve the imperial court again. Han Mou can play to the court, saying that this battle is the work of your Lin Jue and the brothers of the Luoyan Army, and the court will definitely forgive Lord Lin's previous actions. What does Lord Lin think? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. Ma Bin couldn't help but scold: "What kind of bullshit are you talking about? Tell us to work for Guo Xu and Lu Zhongtian? Are you crazy? ”

Liang Qi also scolded: "Han Gang, what do you think you are?" My lord will give you face and let you join my Luoyan army. But thou hast spoken these words. My family is also your life-saving benefactor, and this time I came to save you and show you a clear way. Are you stupid or stupid? ”

Ma Qingshan also frowned and said nothing on the side. He didn't expect Han Gang to be so stubborn, and he would say such things at this time. In the final analysis, Han Gang did not agree with Luo Yanjun in his heart, or regarded Lin Jue and others as traitors. This is a great way to be.

Lin Jue waved his hand to stop everyone from talking, and only smiled: "Lord Han, I won't force you to join my Luoyan Army." My brothers are all like-minded people, and there has never been anything about compulsion. We do need a leader like General Han, but it's not indispensable. If you agree, you will go together, and if you don't agree, you will go, and there is no forced thought. General Han, don't force yourself just because I saved you. However, I must make it clear to you that the imperial court can no longer tolerate General Han, and as soon as Yang Jun dies, the military, political and financial power of the imperial court has been monopolized by Lu Zhongtian. It is very likely that Lu Zhongtian was behind Yang Jun's killing, and he was likely to have colluded with the Liao. And you, General Han, also led the army to take risks and disobey the orders of the imperial court, which is actually equivalent to resistance. General Han wanted to turn back at this moment, but he was afraid that it was too late. ”

Han Gang said in a deep voice: "That's my business, I'm not afraid of death." I didn't plan to go back alive when I sent my troops. ”

Ma Qingshan couldn't help but say, "Lord Han, why are you so stubborn? Can't you see that Lord Lin and the Luoyan Army are the hope of my Great Zhou? The imperial court is already about to collapse, so why bother to be loyal? It is true that you and I are not afraid of death when we send troops, but wouldn't it be better if we could save the situation with a useful body? ”

Han Gang frowned and said, "Brother Ma, I understand what you say. But I think that after we take the Xijin Mansion, the imperial court may change its mind. This is the opportunity for the change of the imperial court, and you and I should do our best to bring about the transformation of the imperial court. After the capture of Zhuozhou and Xijin Prefecture, the situation changed greatly, and I will go to the imperial court to explain the reason and ask the imperial court to send troops to attack Liao. At this moment, the door of the Liao people is wide open, this is the best opportunity to take the opportunity to go north, don't you think so? ”

When Lin Jue heard this, he instantly understood Han Gang's thoughts. It turned out that the reason why Han Gang resolutely refused to join the Luoyan Army was that he thought he saw hope. He believed that after the capture of Zhuozhou and Xijin Mansion, the imperial court would be destroyed because of the de facto peace agreement with the Liao people, and the capture of Xijin Mansion, which was a roadblock to the north, and would change the plan and simply order the northern expedition. And he, Han Gang, will make up for his mistakes because he captured Xijin Mansion, and he will not be punished by the imperial court. After doing it for a long time, Han Gang was holding on to such hopes. That's naïve.
