Chapter 117 Joy and Convincing
The next day, early in the morning.
As soon as the sky dawned, Matsudaira and Chen Fa got together again, and at the same time, the two also found their own henchmen and plotted to get rid of Dou Bo.
After some deliberation by everyone, it was finally decided that Matsudaira and Chen Fa would each send a henchman to Dou Bo's camp and invite him to the banquet.
These two people, one is named Duan Changfeng, and the other is named Chen Yuan.
After Duan Changfeng and Chen Yuan received the order, they didn't even think about it, they accepted it happily, and then rushed to their destination together.
But it just so happened that when the two arrived at Dou Bo's camp, it happened that Chu Lianyu also arrived here.
At this time, Dou Bo already knew the news of Lin Haotian's return, so Chu Lianyu was the first person he met.
After Chu Lianyu saw Dou Bo, he was concise and to the point, and directly asked Dou Bo to lead the army to join Lin Haotian, otherwise he would be persecuted by Song and Chen sooner or later.
Dou Bo had secretly found out the news of the collusion between Songping and Chen Fa a few days ago, so he agreed with Chu Lianyu's words, and felt that only by taking refuge in Lin Haotian was his only way out.
But when Dou Bo finished telling Chu Lianyu's intention to his generals, he was unanimously and strongly opposed by everyone.
According to the generals, now that Lin Haotian has returned safely, Songping and Chen Fa will definitely not dare to act rashly again, maybe this time they sent someone to come simply to invite him to discuss cooperation, and there is no need for them to listen to Chu Lianyu's words at all, so as to take refuge in Lin Haotian.
Chu Lianyu snorted at their words and sneered, "Are you generals afraid that General Dou will become a subordinate after he falls under Lord Lin?"
Chu Lianyu's words went directly to everyone's hearts.
They are now serving under Dou Bo, once Dou Bo is attached to Lin Haotian, then they will naturally be demoted by another level, as for what they joined the army for, isn't it just to get promoted and make a fortune, now Chu Lianyu's request has violated their vital interests, and everyone naturally has to strongly oppose it.
Chu Lianyu broke his heart with a word, and all the generals were ashamed, lowered their heads, and were silent.
At this time, Dou Bo also saw the concerns of the generals, he approached Chu Lianyu's side and asked in a low voice: "Brother Chu, if I am willing to take refuge in Lord Lin, I wonder how the adults will settle me and my brothers?"
When Chu Lianyu heard this, he patted his chest and said, "As long as General Dou is willing to submit, Lord Lin guarantees that what rank you are now and what rank you will still be at that time." ”
Dou Bo glanced at Chu Lianyu suspiciously, and after a long time, he said hesitantly: "But Lord Lin, he ...... Isn't he just a corps commander?" Dou Bo silently added in his heart.
Chu Lianyu smiled, patted Dou Bo's shoulder, and said: "Don't hide it from the general, Lord Lin's trip to Wancheng not only explained Du Yu's matter clearly, but also won the appreciation of the king, and was awarded the title of lieutenant general by the king, and he was in charge of all the soldiers and horses in Shuangfeng City, can't he be the master?"
"Huh?" Dou Bo and the generals in the tent were both startled, opened their mouths wide, and looked at Chu Lianyu dumbfounded.
I don't know how long it took, Dou Bo was the first to come back to his senses from the shock, and asked in disbelief: "Brother Chu, you didn't ...... No kidding, right?"
Chu Lianyu's face sank, and he scolded: "How can this be a joke! This is an order given by the king himself, Songping, Chen Fa and the like support the army to respect themselves, and it is reasonable for the adults to crusade against them, Brother Dou, do you have anything to worry about?"
Hearing Chu Lianyu's assurance, Dou Bo had no worries, the gloom on his face was swept away, and then he said with a smile on his face: "No, no! With Brother Chu's help in the introduction, what else do I have to worry about?"
Chu Lianyu was happier than anyone else now, he glanced at Dou Bo with a smile in the corner of his eyes, and said: "Brother Dou is so aware of the righteousness and avoids an indifferent battle, it is really a blessing for the soldiers in the army!
"Hehe! Brother Chu is really overrated!" Dou Bo smiled and waved his hand, just about to speak, but suddenly remembered that Songping had sent two lobbyists.
After pondering for a while, he quietly pulled Chu Lianyu aside, and said in a low voice, "Brother Chu, there is one more thing. ”
"What?"
"Matsudaira and Chen Fa also sent someone here, and they are waiting outside the tent at this time, according to my brother's opinion, what should I do with them?"
After listening to Dou Bo's words, Chu Lianyu was also taken aback.
I didn't expect Chen Tang to move so quickly! Besides, they didn't even get the slightest news in advance, it seems that they have decided to strike first.
Thinking of this, Chu Lianyu sneered in his heart, and after a pause, he suddenly turned around and said loudly to the generals in the tent: "Brothers, I know that there are still many of you who are still suspicious of what you say, but since Songping and Chen Fa have also sent people, you can test them for a while." ”
At this time, Liu Luo walked out of the crowd and asked, "Dare to ask Mr. Chu, how should I be tempted?"
"When the people sent by Songping and Chen Fa come in, you can first ask them about the purpose of their trip and what benefits General Dou can get afterwards. I dare to conclude that in order to win over General Dou, Songping and Chen Fa will come to the banquet under the banner of reconciliation, and will certainly make a heavy promise to reward General Dou! If the other party is really so generous, he must have evil intentions, and his purpose is to confuse you, and then seize the military power in the hands of General Dou. ”
After hearing his words, all the generals frowned, how could Songping and Chen Fa make such a ridiculous promise? If this is the case, it can indeed be considered that the other party has ill intentions, but in the eyes of everyone, it is impossible, Songping and Chen Tang are eager to get the military power in Dou Bo's hands as soon as possible, how can they promise to reward him.
And they were all wrong!
When Dou Bo met with Duan Changfeng and Chen Yuan, he asked questions according to Chu Lianyu's words, asking them about the purpose of their trip and the arrangements after the incident.
Duan Changfeng and Chen Yuan didn't know what the other party was thinking, the former took a step forward and said eloquently: "The general of my family promised that as long as General Dou is willing to accept the peace talks, then our two families are willing to give 50,000 quintals of grain and grass and 10,000 pairs of armor to fund the general for the expansion of the army, I wonder if the general is satisfied with this condition?"
As soon as these words came out, all the generals present were dumbfounded, and the entire tent was silent.
This time, Duan Changfeng and Chen Yuan were stunned, they didn't understand that they had offered such generous conditions, why did Dou Bo and his generals not even smile, but looked terrified?
Dou Bo shook his head, sighed lightly, and looked around at the generals on the left and right, his eyes undoubtedly saying: How is it? Now you should believe Chu Lianyu's words, right?
The generals in the tent all understood what Dou Bo meant, and they all lowered their heads and were silent.
Dou Bo didn't say anything in front of Duan Changfeng and Chen Yuan, just said that he still needed to think about it again, and arranged for the two to rest in a separate tent for the time being, but secretly sent someone to monitor the two closely and prevent them from leaving the barracks for a single step.
After arranging the two of them, Dou Bo immediately met Chu Lianyu again.
After Zaijian Chu Lianyu, Dou Bo grabbed his hand and said excitedly: "Brother Chu is really a god, if it weren't for Brother Chu's help this time, he would have been harmed by traitors!"
Chu Lianyu smiled and said, "Brother Dou, are the two people sent by Songping and Chen Fa still there?"
Dou Bo clenched his fists fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "I will order these two people to be broken into ten thousand pieces!"
"Wait!" Chu Lianyu shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Dou doesn't need to worry, leave these two for the time being, I will be very useful!"
