Chapter 906 - Surrender to the Minister
Tan Lin's words in the letter were quite sincere, and after Lu Chen read it, his heart first moved, and then his eyes narrowed slightly.
If the generals of the Chu army can surrender, of course he can't ask for it, but he just doesn't know if the other party really surrenders.
He also had to be cautious, because the stakes in this battle were very important, and if he was defeated, the Wind Kingdom would not be able to go south for a few years, and his great cause of dominating the world would probably end in nothing.
There were too many deception schemes in previous lives.
He sat up, holding the secret letter, and his mind was wandering, and he did not speak for a long time.
Seeing this, the man couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and said cautiously: "His Royal Highness the Wind King ......"
Lu Chen came back to his senses, he first looked at the man with deep eyes, and then changed his words, and said with a slight smile: "General Tan Lin is really willing to take refuge, this king is very happy, and he will also be entrusted with a heavy task, step down and go down to rest first, and later, this king will write a letter by himself, and hand it over to General Tan Lin to discuss specific matters." ”
Hearing this, the man's face was overjoyed, and he immediately saluted and said, "The villain obeys!" ”
After he left, the generals in the tent looked at each other, and Xiao Wang couldn't help but come out and said: "King, Tan Lin surrendered, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, if he surrenders by fraud, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to our army." ”
"That's what the king is worried about." Lu Chen followed and said: "But the Chu army surrenders, if this king does not accept it, it will not be the heart of the cold people, and who among the generals of the Chu army will be willing to submit in the future." ”
When he said this, he was to the point, Xiao Wang also frowned when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say.
Lu Chen looked at Tang Man again.
The latter understood, and immediately clenched his fists and said: "King Yu, Tan Lin is a partial general of the Chu Army, we don't know much about him, and the intelligence of the military aircraft battalion is also limited. ”
Lu Chen's brows furrowed even deeper, and he couldn't help but look at Sima Wen, Chen Qun and the others.
Seeing this, Sima Wen pondered for a while, and said: "Accept the surrender, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, first, the defection of the Chu generals will shake the hearts of the Chu army, and second, if the king accepts Tan Lin's surrender and then gives the high-ranking officials Houlu, then the other Chu generals will inevitably be shaken when they see this, and it will be a great benefit for our army to attack Chu." ”
What he said made a lot of sense, and when Lu Chen heard this, he also nodded slightly, and then looked at Chen Qun again.
The latter first rolled his eyes, and then arched his hand and said: "Lord Sima is reasonable, and Weichen also suggested that the king should surrender, and let Tan Lin lead the army to surrender, instead of letting him do the internal response, so as not to fall into the trap by mistake." ”
"Yes, that's right." Lu Chen nodded again, and continued: "Pass the order, treat Tan Lin's messenger with hospitality, and serve good wine and meat." ”
In the army, the conditions are difficult, even Lu Chen, usually coarse tea and light rice.
Now facing a table of delicacies, the messenger Tan Lin couldn't help but swallow his saliva fiercely, and said a little unnaturally: "This, this ......"
"Huh?" Chen Qun, who was in charge of the reception, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Your Excellency crossed the river alone, in order to pass on the secret letter, it is not easy, and for General Tan Lin, my king is also eager to wear it, and now I heard that the general is willing to return to his command, my king is overjoyed, and it is natural to set up a banquet to entertain Your Excellency." ”
His words were very good, and it could be said that he had given Tan Lin enough face, and when the messenger heard this, he couldn't help but have a spring breeze on his face, and said with a smile: "Thank you, thank you, Your Royal Highness the Wind King for such hospitality." ”
After entertaining the messenger, the next day, Lu Chen also wrote a letter by himself, and while handing it over to the messenger, he also said: "This is a handwritten letter from this king to General Tan Lin, and the specific matters are all in the letter. ”
"Please rest assured, Your Highness!" The messenger took it, and the tremor returned.
After several twists and turns, he finally returned to Tan Lin, and the latter immediately looked at it outside the tent, and then pulled it into the tent, and couldn't wait to ask, "How are things going?" ”
"Rest assured, general, the matter has been done." The man immediately returned.
"Oh?" When Tan Lin heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.
The man continued: "Hearing that the general is willing to surrender, His Royal Highness the Wind King is very happy, and he even specially set up a banquet to entertain the villain. ”
"Oh? Did the Wind King say anything specific? Tan Lin continued to ask.
"It's all in the letter, please take a look at it." The man directly took out the secret letter and respectfully handed it to Tan Lin.
The latter took it, hurriedly unfolded it and looked at it carefully, and after reading it, he couldn't help but show excitement on his face, and said excitedly: "Okay, okay, it seems that General Ben's choice is not wrong." ”
Hearing this, the man couldn't help but ask, "General, I don't know what His Royal Highness the Wind King said in the letter. ”
Tan Lin is really happy now, and after hearing this, he also said with a smile: "The Wind King allowed me to be a former general, serve under his command, and grant the title of viscount, you know, the title of the Wind Country is not the same as my Chu State, but it is very rare." ”
Yes? When the man heard this, his eyes widened suddenly, and then he bent down and said, "Congratulations to the general!" ”
"Haha-good, good ......" Tan Lin smiled on his back and said, "Don't worry, this general will be promoted to you because he has been honored and rich." ”
"Huh? General Xie! Thank you, General! can serve the general, the villain is full of liver and brain! The man hurriedly said excitedly.
Tan Lin saw the general trend clearly and really wanted to surrender, and Lu Chen also told him in detail in the letter that he could raise the flag at the appointed time, lead the army to vote, and the wind army greeted him.
Tan Lin is just a partial general, he doesn't have many people under him, only 30,000 people, but his surrender is of great significance.
A few days later, Tan Lin seized the opportunity, secretly drove out of the warship, and sailed to the camp of the Wind Army with his headquarters.
On the endless river, dozens of warships were approaching quickly, and when the general of the Wind Army saw this, he immediately said: "Quick! Go and report to the king! ”
As he spoke, he also raised his hand slightly, and shouted coldly: "Release the arrow!" Don't get close! ”
As he spoke, the sound of armor rubbing around, countless wind soldiers, all in unison, raised their bows and arrows, aimed at the warships on the river, and launched a salvo.
The rain of arrows struck, many of them were shot into the water, and some were nailed to the warship, Tan Lin dodged at the same time, and began to shout: "Don't let go of the arrows!" In Xia Tan Lin, he has made an agreement with His Royal Highness the Wind King......"
At this time, Lu Chen, who received the news, had already come to the shore, and after hearing Tan Lin's shout, he immediately raised his hand slightly.
Seeing this, the general of the Wind Army immediately shouted: "Stop firing arrows!" ”
The wind sergeant retracted his bow and crossbow, and his movements were uniform.
Looking at the flags fluttering on those warships, Lu Chen said quietly: "This flag is the signal agreed between Tan Lin and this king, immediately send a clipper to check whether there is fraud, and then welcome him in." ”
"No!"
