Chapter 36: Bargaining
"When is the king~~~!" Hui Lao wanted to cry.
"Okay, then it's up to Xiangguo, you have full authority to handle this matter, and the widow is waiting for Xiangguo's good news in Daliang."
"The old minister will start to prepare for the envoy, and the old minister will leave!"
……
The land of Guiling.
Lin Mu's army was at the site of the battle between Jiang and Liang at the Battle of Guiling thirty-one years ago.
Let's say that at this moment, Lin Mu led the army out of the nest, and tens of thousands of horses were stationed in the land of Guiling motionless, this Ning Yuan could not be in a hurry, time passed day by day, and there was no fight, and the morale was weakening.
But Lin Mu was not in a hurry at all, he stayed in the big tent of the barracks every day and stared at the map to look at the drawing, or play chess alone, and the time passed slowly.
Another day passed, Lin Mu summoned Ning Yuan and other generals to gather in the big tent, and a group of people rushed over in a hurry, thinking that there was going to be a big move, but they didn't expect Lin Mu to put on a big banquet.
"Report!"
Just when Ning Yuan's gang didn't know the taste of the food they were eating, a scout rushed into the big tent and knelt on one knee, holding a bamboo slip in both hands: "Your Majesty, news from the Great Liang!" ”
Lin Mu immediately got up and took the bamboo slip as soon as he saw it, his eyes lit up when he saw it, and he immediately had a plan in his heart, put away the bamboo and said, "General Ning listens to the order!" ”
"The last general!"
"From now on, quickly reorganize the army, listen to Lone's orders, and pull out the camp soon!"
"The last general obeys!"
"Someone, send a scout to inform General Win, and order him to lead the army back to the camp quickly!"
One after another, the new military orders went down, and the generals in the big tent took the lead and withdrew, and they all thought that they were going to lead the army under Daliang City, and they were excited.
Lin Mu returned to his seat and opened the bamboo slip again to take a look, and when he saw the content on it, he smiled wordlessly again.
Following.
Two days ago, a small group of people and horses set off early from Daliang City, and arrived at the land of Guiling today, including not only Cao Yan, but also Liang Xianghui Lao was also in the team sequence, and this team of people and horses entered the land of Guiling unhindered.
"Hui Xiang, please, the big tent of the military camp is ahead, and my king has been waiting for a long time!" At this moment, the army is stationed, Cao Yan is leading the way for Hui Xiang with a smile on his face, and the envoy to Liang Guo is a great success, Cao Yan knows that he has made meritorious contributions, and he is also overjoyed.
Seeing that the military tent was in front of him, Hui Lao was also curious about what the young monarch of the Jin Kingdom, Lin Mu, the descendant of Meng Yan, who was known as the one who could restore the country and save the country, looked like.
The waiters on both sides opened the big tent, and Cao Yan, who was full of smiles, made a gesture of please, and the two of them entered.
In the big tent, on the seat in front of them, a back figure was facing the two of them, Hui Lao looked over, and the other party never looked back at the big map hanging behind him.
Cao Yan immediately saluted and said, "Minister Cao Yan, meet the king!" ”
Lin Mu, who was staring at the map, turned around leisurely, and his appearance entered Hui Lao's eyes, and the latter immediately stared round, slightly open his mouth in a daze.
However, seeing Lin Muxiao waving his hand to signal Cao Yan to be exempt, he bowed with both hands to Hui Lao, and walked over with a smile: "Farewell in a few days, see you again today, Hui Lao can not come unharmed!" ”
"Hui Lao, please sit down!" Lin Mu looked at Hui Lao, who seemed to be frozen, and said with a smile.
Hui Lao sat down a little woodenly, Cao Yan retreated with a slight formality, and Lin Mu returned to the upper seat again, looking at Hui Lao without saying a word.
"Alas!" After a long time, Hui Lao shook his head helplessly and sighed, "It's the foreign minister's clumsiness, Bird Pavilion is making a fool's mistake, and I hope that King Jin will forgive his sins!" ”
At this moment, Hui Lao didn't expect that the new monarch of the Jin Kingdom would be Meng Fan who was wanted by the Bird Pavilion of Daliang City that day, the two were the same person, thinking back to the words of solicitation that he said at the beginning, Hui Lao also felt a flush and hot, and when he saw it today, he was really embarrassed.
Such a young and promising monarch suddenly appeared in this Jin Kingdom, Hui Lao really sweated for Liang Guo, and in the future, the southern border of Liang State will not only have to guard against Jiang State, but also against this Jin State that is next to it and may become a small hegemon, and the southern border in the future is afraid that it will be as unpeaceful as the eastern border.
"In the past, Lin Mu concealed it, and I hope Keiko will forgive me." Lin Mu smiled and apologized.
"Don't dare!" Hui Lao hurriedly raised his hand and said in return, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, as soon as the gap between this level is opened, even if Lin Mu's age is in his twenties, he can't put a shelf on him, this time he is committed to coming to seek perfection.
"I don't know what Hui Xiang's intention is to be here?" Lin Mu smiled casually, and drank wine to drink and talk.
There is nothing more shameful than this kind of knowingly asked.
Hui Lao secretly called tricky, this time he came to fight for profits with his tongue, it was good to meet an ordinary monarch, and he met Lin Mu, a person who had the true inheritance of Meng Yan, Cao Yan above the temple of Liang Guo was my lord at every turn, it was enough to see that Lin Mu's tongue and talent were better than that Cai Xiang.
How much benefit can be saved for Liang Guo this time, Hui Lao is also a little suspenseful in his heart.
"King Jin! The foreign minister said bluntly, how can the king of Jin be willing to stop the army? Although Hui Lao is also good at arguing, and he is the ancestor of a famous family, he also said directly to the point at this time. Talking to the high-level disciples of Meng Yan's faction, Hui Lao had already learned from Cai Xiang a few years ago.
I can't get the slightest benefit.
It is better to avoid its strengths and speak out.
The army of the Jin State was stationed in the land of Guiling and looked at the Liang capital from afar, and the battle of Xiangling was already powerless, and Lin Mu intervened in it, taking the opportunity to make trouble behind the back, this trick was like a worse situation for the Liang State.
Hui Lao had already concluded in his heart that the Liang Yue dispute would be defeated.
Once the news that Daliang was besieged by Lin Mu's army spread, if he did what Cao Yan said and gave the Vietnamese army a reason to borrow troops, the Vietnamese army would inevitably move further north, and the news would further spread to the kingdom of the world.
In fact, Lin Mu seems to be indifferent, and his heart is also nervous, this time the power of the country to win is not a gamble for the Jin State, if the Jin State is defeated, the Jin State will inevitably never recover, even if Lin Mu is unable to return to the sky, not only will he have a bad reputation as a tyrant, but he will no longer be able to stand in the Jin State if he loses the hearts of the people.
Every day that time was equated, the morale of the officers and soldiers of the three armies was declining, and even Ning Yuan could feel it, how could Lin Mu not feel it.
However, although he was worried, Lin Mu was also calm.
Because someone is more anxious than him.
It is Liang Guo.
The old King Liang can't afford to wait more than Lin Mu, and the Liang Kingdom can't afford to gamble, and the old King Liang, who is already in his twilight years, does not have the sharpness when he ascended the throne, and he does not have the courage of Lin Mu.
This is the principle that barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes, and Hui Lao's impatient blunt words told Lin Mu such a signal.
Liang Guo didn't dare to bet! Liang Guo is more anxious than him! That's it!
