Nothing to be courteous, Lin Feng is very clear about the truth of either treachery or theft

At present, Zhao Fan suddenly gave himself two boxes of jewelry, worth millions, not because of the friendship between the two.

Lin Feng had a good impression of Zhao Fan, but the two of them were the kings of the princely countries, and they rarely intersected in ordinary times, Zhao Fan suddenly brought local specialties, and intended to show favor to himself, in this regard, Lin Feng suspected Zhao Fan's move, and wanted to understand the purpose behind Zhao Fan's move.

He had previously learned from Lin Xiao that Liu Wenlong's plot was that if the other party's plan succeeded, the northern pattern would face a reshuffle.

Yan Guo, he has secretly sent Feng Shihu and Hou Mingfeng to secretly return to the east, and will closely monitor the movements of the Ma Wu Legion in secret.

And Liu Wenlong will send someone to assassinate Zhao Ke when he meets the alliance, he will not inform Zhao Ke in advance, if the matter succeeds, the Northern Zhao Qunlong will be leaderless, and it will be chaotic in a short time, even if Zhao Fan is invited to return to Northern Zhao to govern, and the Zhao State will be reunified, but the Northern Zhao court may not have a peaceful transition. If the assassination of Zhao Ke fails, the two countries of Zhao and Liang will be completely hostile, and Northern Zhao will inevitably send troops to attack Liang.

Therefore, whether the assassination is successful or not is not only related to the situation between Zhao and Liang, but also affects the actions of Yan Guo.

However, Lin Feng had already sent a letter to Feng Shihu that if Liang Guo succeeded in assassinating Zhao Ke and Ma Wu moved in the direction of the Yan army, he must teach the wolf cavalry under Ma Wu a hard lesson.

At the same time, if Zhao Ke dies, Zhao Fan will inevitably be invited back to Northern Zhao, and Lin Feng hopes to get a windfall from Zhao Fan, so no matter whether Liang Guo's plan succeeds or fails, Suiyang City will be Zhao Ke's grave.

At this moment, Lin Feng left a good impression on Zhao Fan, hearing Lin Feng's inquiry, Zhao Fan's heart was moved, when he was in Taimu Mountain, he witnessed Lin Feng's attitude towards Zhao Ke, at that time, although the two did not have much intersection, Lin Feng did not turn him away today. No matter what others thought of Lin Feng, at least, now he felt that Lin Feng had his own personality charm.

Act freely and uninhibitedly, and be above board

At this time, Zhao Fan said without thinking: "Emperor Yan, not long ago, Ma Wu led 300,000 wolf cavalry troops to march into Southern Zhao, although because of the truce of the princes' countries and alliances, the wolf cavalry temporarily stopped attacking Southern Zhao, but the situation was very unfavorable to Southern Zhao, dare to ask Emperor Yan, if Liu Wenlong can withdraw his troops, what price does Southern Zhao need to pay."

Defusing the Liang State Bingfeng is one of the main purposes of Zhao Fan's coming to Suiyang City, and the Southern Zhao must protect itself, the premise is to let the Liang army withdraw first, otherwise, the Northern Zhao is eyeing the Southern Zhao, and the Liang army is aggressive, and the Southern Zhao will be annexed sooner or later.

Therefore, he would rather spend a huge amount of money to manage the relationship with Lin Feng and forcibly let Liang withdraw his troops from Rang, rather than continue to defend it, otherwise, when Southern Zhao is in danger, Northern Zhao will definitely take the opportunity to fall into the ground.

Hearing this, Lin Feng was not surprised, but showed a very surprised look, and asked in astonishment: "Brother Zhao, Southern Zhao and Northern Zhao are brothers' countries, Southern Zhao is in trouble, Northern Zhao should help, why did Brother Zhao turn to me for help, I imprisoned Emperor Liang is right, but Emperor Liang has compensated Yan Guo for tens of millions of silver, in exchange for the freedom of him and the courtiers of Liang State, and at the same time, he also promised to cut the land of the four counties to Yan State, although the specific state and county have not yet been determined, the matter is ironclad, people do not stand without trust, and they lose their trust in Emperor Liang, how should I handle relations with the vassal states in the future. Therefore, in the matter of Nan Zhao, it is really difficult for me to help Brother Zhao, and I am powerless. ”

Zhao Fan's request for help exceeded Lin Feng's expectations, but since Zhao Fan mentioned this matter, he was ready to extort a sum of silver from the other party first.

On the contrary, Zhao Fan was very surprised in his heart, he didn't know in advance that Lin Feng had extorted a huge amount of silver from Emperor Liang, including the land of the four counties, at present, Lin Feng told him about this matter, obviously hinting that Nan Zhao wanted to solve this matter, and Nan Zhao was afraid that he would also have a heavy hemorrhage.

When Zhao Ke made Zhao Guo into a miasma, the Li family was persecuted and expelled from Zhao State, and after Zhao State split into North and South Zhao, the wealthy families were dissatisfied with Zhao Ke's governance methods, and moved their families to settle in South Zhao.

Although the land of Nanzhao is small, how many wealthy families and wealthy families abound, but what worries Zhao Fan is that Lin Feng proposed to cut the land, the current wolf cavalry led by Ma Wu has occupied several states and counties in Nanzhao, and only nine states are left in the thirteen states of Nanzhao.

After thinking about it, Zhao Fan said to Lin Feng: "Emperor Yan, if you don't cut the land, how much money can Nan Zhao spend to cause the Liang State to withdraw its troops."

"Is Nan Zhao very rich" Lin Feng pinched his chin and asked suspiciously, at this time, he suddenly had an idea in his heart, if Zhao Fan was willing to spend a lot of money, it might be beneficial to the win-win situation of the two countries, of course, this situation would not last long, at least for Nan Zhao.

Hearing Lin Feng's words, and looking at his strange expression, Zhao Fan didn't know what Lin Feng wanted to express, and said very confidently: "Ten million taels of silver, Nan Zhao can still make it up." ”

However, I only saw Lin Feng shaking his head slightly, pouting and saying, "It's not enough, it's a little less."

"What, Lin Feng, you are too greedy," Zhao Fan heard this, got up from the chair, and looked at Lin Feng incredibly, ten million taels of silver still, it was not willing to swallow Nan Zhao, and suddenly, he couldn't help but feel a little disgusted with Lin Feng.

Nan Zhao inherited most of the wealth of Zhao State, and tens of millions of taels of silver were just Zhao Fan casually said, he did not spend tens of millions of silver, so he suggested that Lin Feng ask Emperor Liang to withdraw his troops, but unexpectedly, Lin Feng was not enough, and Zhao Fan was completely blindsided.

More angry, feeling that Lin Feng took advantage of the fire to rob and peep at Nanzhao's wealth.

Looking at Zhao Fan's expression, the corners of Lin Feng's mouth turned up slightly, and said: "Brother Zhao, don't be impatient, don't be impatient, don't be impatient, when did I, Lin Feng, fall into the well of Nan Zhao, but there is currently something that is conducive to the win-win situation of Zhao and Yan, but I didn't expect Brother Zhao to misunderstand." ”

"Really," Zhao Fan asked.

"Naturally, take it seriously," Lin Feng affirmed.

At this time, Zhao Fan's attitude eased slightly, and said with a smile: "Emperor Yan forgive me, I have been entangled in trivial matters recently, and I have been annoyed by Beizhao's actions, and I have been angry for several days. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I understand Brother Zhao's distress" Lin Feng waved his hand and said boldly, obviously not daunted by the previous incident.

Zhao Fan noticed that Lin Feng was generous, and he had not been too ashamed of the previous trivial matters, and he had previously spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and with a little shame on his face, he asked Lin Feng: "Emperor Yan, I don't know what you said about mutual benefit and win-win results, what is the so-called thing, you might as well talk about it." ”

Lin Feng took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and asked, "Dare to ask Brother Zhao, at this moment, what does Nanzhao need most if he wants to rise?"

Hearing this, Zhao Fan looked stunned, puzzled, when the topic of the two was about to turn to the union of the two countries, why did Lin Feng suddenly talk about Nan Zhao.

Puzzled, Zhao Fan still said without hesitation: "Nanzhao has a sparse population, and its military strength is severely limited, even if it has a lot of wealth to arm the army, it does not have enough population, which is the biggest problem restricting the development of Nanzhao." ”

Lin Feng continued to ask, "Brother Zhao, do you know how to maximize the source of the population?"

"Of course, it is to conquer cities, gain territory, and thus expand the population." Zhao Fan said.

At this time, Lin Feng smiled and said: "What Brother Zhao said is true, if you want to expand the army, you must have a sufficient population, and if you want to feed a sufficient population, you must have a huge land area, so that you can have a strong army, these three things are interlocking, otherwise, if the country wants to be strong, extraordinary measures must be adopted."

At present, the Liang State will cede the land to the four counties of the Yan State, no matter if the Yan State wants any of the four counties of the Liang State, these places are isolated from the Yan State, which is not conducive to the governance of the Yan State, and may be invaded by the surrounding vassal states at any time, however, if Brother Zhao is interested, I can ask Emperor Liang to cut out the four counties bordering Southern Zhao, I don't know if Brother Zhao is interested. ”

Zhao Fan knew a little bit what Lin Feng was going to express after going around in such a big circle, he couldn't believe that the pie in the sky would hit his head, and asked incredibly: "Emperor Yan, don't be joking, I will take it seriously." ”

"As long as Nan Zhao has enough wealth, it doesn't hurt if Brother Zhao is serious." Lin Feng said solemnly.

Sure that Lin Feng was not joking with himself, Zhao Fan's heart became uneasy, the land of the four counties, this is by no means a small area for the current Southern Zhao, if Nanzhao buys the land of the four counties, and can recover the lost four counties and the land of the seventeen counties from the Liang State, this will mean that the Southern Zhao will be promoted to a medium vassal state. Even if it is still a small country compared to Northern Zhao and Yan, Southern Zhao will develop rapidly due to the increase of land and people.

At the same time, without the threat of the Liang army, the Southern Zhao Huben could instead attack the Liang State and take the opportunity to expand the territory.

Zhao Fan asked impatiently to Lin Feng: "Emperor Yan, such a good thing that does not need to conquer the city, Emperor Yan can think of me, I am really grateful, it is indescribable, Emperor Yan is refreshing, I am not verbose, dare to ask Nan Zhao how much wealth it will cost to annex these four counties."

"Thirty million taels of silver." Lin Feng raised three fingers and said indifferently.

The land of the four counties was exchanged for 30 million silver, and to a certain extent, the Yan Kingdom was a little more than worth the loss, but Lin Feng thought that with Liu Wenlong's psychology that his flaws would be retributed, Nanzhao would occupy the land of the four counties of the Liang Kingdom, how could he easily withdraw his troops.

At that time, Zhao and Liang will continue to fight fiercely, consuming each other's national strength, at the same time, as long as Zhao Ke comes to Suiyang City, there will definitely be no return, once the Northern Zhao Qunlong has no leader and falls into the battle for the throne, Yan can take the opportunity to attack Northern Zhao, or, the army displays the border, support Zhao Fan to ascend to the throne, Yan and Zhao form an alliance, not only to reduce Yan State's dependence on Song State, but also to obtain unexpected wealth, therefore, at present, Lin Feng will not blackmail Zhao Fan, and strive to leave a good impression on Zhao Fan.
