After Zhao Hongru mentioned it, Lin Fengmao suddenly opened.

There is no direct evidence for this matter, but according to the words of Bai Yisheng and Zhao Jun, the change in the Tiger Ben Army After Ma Wu was killed, there may not be no connection between the two.

Hissing, taking a deep breath, Lin Feng asked the generals, "What do you think of the surrender of the Tiger Army?" ”

The Tiger Ben Army surrendered sincerely, and naturally everyone was happy, but if the other party had any careful thoughts, they had to guard against it!

"Your Majesty, Li Mu proposed to surrender to Yan State, and took the initiative to send news, the last general thinks that we may contact the other party to find out whether the other party is sincere." Bai Yisheng said. "However, the generals of the Tiger Ben Army are not vegetarians, and even during contact with the other party, they cannot be taken lightly."

Try to contact Li Mu and other generals, or maybe understand the true intentions of the generals of the Tiger Ben Army from the words and deeds of the other party.

However, Zhao Hongru quickly rejected Bai Yisheng's suggestion and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, it is not impossible for the last general to contact Li Mu and others, but it is definitely not a simple matter to find out whether the Tiger Benjun is sincere to defect to the Yan Army. ”

Hearing this, Lin Feng sat upright and asked, "What is the idea, let's just say it, as long as it proves that Li Mu and the others are thinking, it is all a good idea." ”

Zhao Hongru chuckled: "Ningwuguan and Zhenyuanguan are the northern gateways of Zhaoguo, at present, Ningwuguan is in the hands of the Yan army, the last general feels that since Li Mu and others proposed to prepare to surrender the Yan army, at this moment, we only need to propose to the Huben army to withdraw from Zhenyuan Pass, and the Yan army will garrison Zhenyuanguan, if Li Mu and others agree, it proves that they have the intention of surrendering, if Li Mu and others do not agree, it proves that the other party has other plans, then, we must think long-term, and we must not put our minds on the surrender of the Huben army." ”

"No, General Zhao's suggestion is very good, and it can directly prove the minds of Li Mu and others." Zhao Jun said categorically, and felt that Zhao Hongru's suggestion was good.

Lin Feng knocked on the desk in his hand, smiled, and glanced at the generals: "Zhao Hongru is solely responsible for the contact with Li Mu and others, Bai Yisheng led the army to feign attacking Zhenyuan Pass, and Zhao Jun led the army to defend Zhenyuan Pass, if necessary, take the initiative to attack, knock and knock the Tiger Army, and at the same time cooperate with Zhao Hongru to contact the generals of the Tiger Army."

If Li Mu and the others refused to hand over Zhenyuan Pass to the Yan army, it meant that Li Mu had other plans, then there was no need for the Yan army to waste time and directly start a war against the Tiger Ben army. ”

No matter what medicine Li Mu Hu Hulu sold, Lin Feng had a strong mind that before winter, even if he could not completely annex Zhao State, he would occupy a large area of the other party's territory.

What's more, the Yan army attacked from all sides and forcibly swallowed the declining Zhao State, which was completely ironclad.

……

The next day, Zhao Hongru sent spies to contact the Tiger Army, and the Tiger Army also sent Zhang Boling, and the two sides prepared to meet.

After a few days of brief contact, the two sides finally confirmed the meeting.

After contacting the Tiger Army, Zhao Hongru did not find any clues, on the contrary, he browsed the letters sent by Zhang Boling and saw the full sincerity of the Tiger Army.

After reporting everything to Lin Feng, Zhao Hongru ******** ready to surrender.

In his opinion, since Zhang Boling's letter is full of sincerity, the next thing that the two sides should talk about is what the Tiger Army will surrender and what price the Yan Army will pay.

The sky is clear, there are no white clouds, and the warm sun shines on people, which is very comfortable.

The generals of Zhao Yan and the two countries, Zhang Boling and Zhao Hongru, met in a spacious area separated by the center of the two armies.

The two sides have been hostile for more than half a year, but the first time they met was to discuss the surrender of the Tiger Ben Army.

Of course, the two parties also had different thoughts, Zhao Hongru really wanted to recruit the Tiger Ben army, but Zhang Boling had to delay the time according to Li Mu's request.

Yan Jun mentioned that he had set up tents at the place where the two sides met, and the troops brought by Zhang Boling and Zhao Hongru were all outside the military tents.

In the military tent, the two sat opposite each other, and the adjutant general sat next to them.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Zhao Hongru asked straight to the point: "General Zhang, come on time today as agreed, on the surface, the Northern Tiger Army has officially decided to surrender to the Yan Army, and Zhao welcomes the general's move." ”

The surrender of more than 100,000 tiger troops under Li Mu's command can not only quickly change the northern pattern of Zhao and Yan, but also the Yan army does not have to fight on the battlefield, not to mention reducing the casualties of the Yan army, and will also accelerate the annexation of Zhao State.

This is a double thing, Zhao Hongru is happy in his heart.

"General Zhao is wrong, the Tiger Army has the idea of surrendering the Yan Army, but it has not formally surrendered, and before the conditions of the two sides are negotiated, the Tiger Army will still not surrender to the Yan Army, so whether the Tiger Army surrenders to the Yan Army depends on whether General Zhao can meet the conditions of the Tiger Army." Zhang Boling reminded Zhao Hongru of a mistake in his words.

Looking at the general who was less than thirty years old in front of him, his heart was a little complicated, among the vassal states, the older generation of generals gradually came to an end, but the new generation of generals rarely had people who could take charge of themselves, only Yan Guo, in addition to Feng Yi's older age, Zhao Hongru, Hou Mingfeng, Zhang Yu, Feng Shihu and other generals were all around thirty years old.

As the older generation of generals gradually withdraw from the battlefield, the future will be the world of newcomers, and generals such as Zhao Hongru will be the best among these people.

Among the vassal states, there will not be many people of the younger generation who will be able to compete with them.

Although he did not support the surrender of the Yan State, he had to admit that in the future, the Yan State would be the most potential and promising vassal state among the vassal states to achieve great unification.

At this moment, looking at Zhao Hongru, he was even wondering if the general's decision to defect to the Song State was too simple and rash.

Zhao Hongru didn't know what Zhang Boling was thinking, and asked with a smile: "Since General Zhang proposed to surrender to the Yan army with conditions, I don't know what the conditions are, and the Huben army will surrender to the Yan army. ”

There are a large number of Tiger Ben troops, and they are all elite divisions, not to mention that there is a famous general Li Muzai, and it is normal to put forward conditions.

Moreover, before leaving, the emperor specially explained that no matter what conditions Zhang Boling proposed, as long as it was within the scope of Yan Jun's bearing, he could agree to the other party.

Moreover, we have discussed before that the conditions put forward by the generals of the Tiger Ben Army are nothing more than the issue of their status in the Yan Army after surrender, and whether the main generals of the Tiger Ben Army are important.

In Zhao Hongru's view, these problems are not problems at all, as long as the Tiger Ben Army sincerely surrenders, the Yan Army will agree to all the conditions proposed by the other party.

For the sake of Li Mu, it is very rare to spend more conditions, as long as it does not harm the interests of Yan State, Yan Jun can also accept it.

Zhang Boling smiled, but he didn't expect the other party's attitude to be so sincere, and he didn't show the slightest bit of getting carried away.

After thinking about it, he said bluntly: "General Zhao, there are more than 100,000 tiger troops under the command of the general, and the first-line tiger army in Qingyang County was all under the command of the general before, and if you count it, there will be more than 200,000 tiger army surrendering to Yan State, so I want to ask, if we all surrender to the Yan army, can you treat everyone equally, and not treat the tiger army badly in terms of equipment, military rations, and salary?" ”

On this trip, according to Li Mu's instructions, Zhang Boling only needed to paralyze the Yan army, contain the Yan army, and strive for an opportunity for Yan Wushuang to meet with the Song State successfully.

However, Zhang Boling also wanted to know how sincere the Yan army was prepared to pay in order to recruit the Tiger Ben army, and at the same time, it was like being sincere to Song and Yan.

According to the realization of the discussion, Zhang Hongru expected that the other party would raise the issue of treatment, and said without hesitation: "Zhao does not know whether General Zhang understands Yan Guo and understands Yan Jun, as the saying goes, Haina Beichuan, there is tolerance is big, Yan is open and tolerant, and Yan Jun will not be petty, moreover, Yan Guo rose at the end of Wei, and the natural population is insufficient, but the current Yan Army has a million troops, I think General Zhang may have heard that among the troops of Yan State, there are a large number of troops of vassal states, including the Rong people, Donghu, Jin State, and former thieves.

However, since he joined the Yan Army, no matter what the other party was in the past and what he did, he was a member of the Yan Kingdom, and the Yan Kingdom would never be treated differently.

If the general doesn't believe Zhao's words, he can do a detailed investigation in the Yan army, so the issue of treatment is not a problem at all, and General Zhang doesn't have to worry about this matter. ”

Zhao Hongru's words were full of sincerity, without the slightest concealment and hypocrisy, and he used what Yan Guo had done in the past to prove that what he said was true.

He hoped that at the beginning of the talks, all the worries in Zhang Boling's heart would be dispelled, and the two sides would be able to open their hearts and put all the things on the table to solve.

Hearing this, Zhang Boling stared at Zhao Hongru a little incredulously, the other party's words did not have the slightest hypocrisy, and he did not hesitate to dispel his inner concerns, he had to admire the other party.

At the same time, through Zhao Hongru's words, he probably guessed why Yan State was able to rise rapidly, why the literati and military generals of the vassal states went to Yan State one after another, which included the problem of Yan State system, and more importantly, Yan State chose to treat people with sincerity.

Respect everyone's demands, so as to gain the support of the people of Yan and the people of the vassal states.

Originally, he planned to fight with Zhao Hongru, and strive to make the meeting between the two parties last for ten days, or even more time, but Zhao Hongru's words instantly erased many trivial things, because continuing to entangle these issues with the other party may reveal his feet.

Coughing lightly, Zhang Boling said: "I believe in the sincerity of General Zhao, and I also believe in the sincerity of Yan Guo, before leaving, the general once said that if the Tiger Army surrenders, will the Yan Army also adopt the method of recruiting and surrendering the troops of death row prisoners, disrupt all the Tiger Army, and mix it with the Yan Army." ”

This matter is related to whether the generals of the Tiger Ben Army can continue to hold the military power and continue to control the Tiger Ben Army after surrendering to the Yan Army.

If you encounter something in Yan Country in the future, you may encounter something that has no soldiers to adjust and suffers in vain.

And it takes great courage and courage to make the Tiger Ben Army an independent army, and at the same time, Li Mu also hopes to use this matter to contain the Yan Army's time.

After all, the 200,000 Tiger Ben Army formed an independent legion, and if it was placed anywhere, it would bury hidden dangers, and no one would easily agree.

Zhao Hongru smiled, took a sip of tea, and said: "General Zhang underestimated the emperor's courage, and he did not suspect that he should not use people, in the battle of Donghu that year, the Yan army captured the number of Donghu troops not less than the tiger army, and the emperor still formed an independent army in accordance with the requirements of the Donghu people.

In the next two or three years, because of the continuous wars and the deployment of troops from different aspects, this Donghu army was gradually dispersed, but it was still led by many Donghu generals, and the emperor never doubted it.

Therefore, if General Zhang persuaded Li Mu to surrender, the more than 200,000 Tiger Ben Army would still be able to form an independent force, and all the generals of the Tiger Ben Army would not change. ”

Ahem, Zhang Boling coughed lightly twice, his face was slightly red, and in the face of Zhao Hongru's full sincerity, he was amazed that he didn't know what to say.

After the surrender, the Tiger Army was still an independent army, and the status of the generals remained unchanged, and in addition, Zhao Hongru's words revealed many times that Emperor Yan attached great importance to Li Mu.

If it weren't for Li Mutiexin's desire to defect to the Song State, he would not hesitate to lead the Tiger Ben Army to serve the Yan State.

With no choice but to do so, Zhang Boling continued: "General Zhao, after the surrender of the Tiger Army, where is the station, and can you return to Jinyang City with the Yan Army in the future?" ”

"The general can rest assured, as long as the Tiger Army surrenders sincerely, the emperor will not restrict the Tiger Army's actions." Zhao Hongru said.

Hearing this, Zhang Boling became silent, the question he was most worried about, Zhao Hongru gave a satisfactory answer, at present, surrendering the Yan army is a good choice.

Breaking through the defense line of the Yan army and going to the Song State was completely redundant and thankless.

There was silence in the military tent for a long time, and Zhao Hongru saw that the other party was no longer speechless, and asked, "General Zhang, do you still have any conditions?" ”

"No, the general's words are full of sincerity." Zhang Boling said.

At this time, Zhao Hongru smiled and continued: "Since the general praised the sincerity of the Yan Kingdom, then, Zhao also hopes that the Tiger Benjun will show sincerity, instead of talking about it and delaying the time. ”

At first, Zhao Hongru did not doubt the sincerity of the Tiger Ben Army to surrender to the Yan Army, but after Zhang Boling asked three questions and answered all of them reasonably, the other party's expression was full of approval, but he didn't mention the surrender at all, which made him feel a little weird.

Even if he couldn't guess what the other party was planning, in order to test the sincerity of the Tiger Benjun, he decided to test Zhang Boling.

On the other hand, Zhang Boling's expression was unwavering, but he was secretly surprised in his heart, thinking that Zhao Hongru saw the clue and saw that he was delaying time.

Striving not to show his feet, Zhang Boling asked, "What does General Zhao mean, you might as well say it directly." ”

Before leaving, the emperor repeatedly instructed that as long as the conditions proposed by the Tiger Benjun did not harm the interests of Yan State, let his subordinates agree to the general. However, in order to prevent the general from secretly doing tricks, after the emperor also advised, after the Yan army showed sincerity, the tiger army must also show sincerity, so if the tiger army surrendered to the Yan army with an iron heart, dare to ask the general to go back and tell General Li Mu that the tiger army withdrew from Zhenyuan Pass and was garrisoned by the Yan army, so as to prove that the tiger army and the generals had no two hearts. ”

Zhao Hongru did not hesitate to say his request, he wanted to see how Zhang Boling answered, and what the Tiger Benjun and the generals should do next.

If the other party refuses, the surrender of the Tiger Ben Army is most likely deceitful!
