Regarding Lin Haotian's arrogance, Wang Feng frowned secretly, his chest was burning with anger, he endured it and did not do it, stood up straight, and said loudly: "I am going to envoy Jin Guo under the order of the king of my family......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a muffled sound of 'bang', and the book in Lin Haotian's hand slammed on the desk, interrupting his words at the same time.

He closed the document he had read, changed another official document, and said coldly while reading: "If it weren't for the order of King Yan, what qualifications would you have to send to the Jin Kingdom?

Lin Haotian's merciless reprimand made Wang Feng's face red and white for a while, and the two of them were about to erupt into flames.

As an envoy of the Yan Kingdom, no matter where he went, he was respected as an envoy and a guest, but Lin Haotian was good, not only did he not even look at him, but even dared to reprimand, which made Wang Feng feel that his face was greatly damaged, and he also insulted the majesty of the Yan Kingdom.

He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Since he is an envoy of the Yan Kingdom, he is naturally here on behalf of the Yan Kingdom, but General Lin is arrogant and rude, and his words are disrespectful, which seems to be inhospitable, right?"

Hearing this, Lin Haotian couldn't help but laugh, he finally put down the official document in his hand, looked at Wang Feng below, and said: "You are just an envoy, when you see this handsome, not only do you not give a big courtesy, but also dare to speak against it, this seems to be even more incompatible with the way of hospitality and ministers, right?"

His words made Wang Feng speechless, his face turned purple, and he didn't spit out a word for a long time.

Lin Haotian was too lazy to bother with him, and he didn't have time to argue with him, so he raised his head and said, "King Yan sent you to the Jin Kingdom, just tell me what is going on!"

Wang Feng slowed down for a while before his emotions calmed down, he arched his hand and said, "This time, I am here to deliver a message to General Lin on behalf of my king!" The nations are constantly strife, and thousands of people are displaced and killed. It's really not the work of the master, so my family hopes that General Lin can value peace with the Red Country, turn hostility into jade silk, this party is for the benefit of the people of the two countries, the benefit of the common people in the world, and I also hope that General Lin can accept the good construction of my family, negotiate peace with the Red Kingdom, make an alliance, and form an alliance forever!"

It turned out that Yin Ji suddenly sent an envoy to persuade himself to negotiate peace with Shao Fang.

What benefits the world. is high-sounding, but in fact it is just a pretext, he is afraid that Jin Guozhen will annex the Red Kingdom, and his strength will rise to a higher level, which will threaten his Yan Kingdom!

Yin Ji seems to really regard himself as the leader of the alliance, and even has to intervene in the dispute between Jin Chi and Chi. Thinking of this, Lin Haotian sneered in his heart, but his face did not move. He nodded and said, "What does the Yan King mean." Ben Shuai has already understood. ”

Wang Feng still wanted to wait for his next words, but after waiting for a while, seeing that Lin Haotian didn't have any intention of speaking again, he couldn't help but ask: "So, General Lin accepted my king's proposal?"

"Well, Ben Shuai still needs to think about it. When you return to China and return to King Yan, you can also convey the meaning of Ben Shuai, and say that Ben Shuai will respect King Yan's opinion. Lin Haotian's reply was ambiguous, that is, he did not refuse on the spot, nor did he explicitly agree.

Of course, Wang Feng would not be satisfied with such a reply. He looked straight and said: "Jin Chi's discussion of peace is a good deed that is conducive to the stability of the nations, and I hope that General Lin will give a clear answer now, whether to accept it or not." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Feng's words had clearly revealed the meaning of threat.

Lin Haotian's tiger eyes narrowed slightly, and said in a condensed voice: "Ben Shuai has already said it, this matter still needs to be considered, and now I want Ben Shuai to give you an exact answer, that is impossible." ”

"General Lin......" Wang Feng still wanted to speak, but Lin Haotian no longer gave him a chance to say more, his face was full of impatience, and he waved his hand and said, "Come on, send off guests!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two guards walked in from outside the door, stood still in front of Wang Feng, and waved their hands to the door at the same time, and said expressionlessly: "Lord Wang, please!"

"If General Lin is obsessed and insists on using troops against Chi, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the kingdoms of the heavens, and when the time comes, General Lin will regret it too late......"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Haotian's slap had already slapped heavily on the table.

At this time, Wang Feng didn't want to leave, and wanted to speak, but the two guards who came in had already grabbed one of his arms, and couldn't help but say something, and forcibly dragged him out.

"General Lin, I'm an envoy of the Yan Kingdom, you can't ...... me like this" Until he was dragged out of the study by the guards, shouts still came from outside the room from time to time.

Zhang Li, who had been kneeling silently on the side, stood up, walked to the door of the study, closed the door tightly, and then returned to Lin Haotian's side, seeing his gloomy face, she poured tea and persuaded softly: "My lord, please calm your anger, there is no one in the show in the Yanguo envoy, arrogant and rude, it is indeed hateful, but it is not worth it to break your body for this kind of popularity." ”

Lin Haotian snorted, didn't answer, picked up the teacup, tilted his head, and drank the tea in the cup.

Zhang Li's eyes rolled, and she echoed and said: "The grievances between Jin and Chi have long been difficult to resolve, even if the five counties of Chibei are returned to the Red Kingdom, there will be wars sooner or later in the future." If the two sides negotiate peace, our country will send heavy troops to guard the border in the future, which will cause a huge consumption of our country's money, food, troops, and even national strength. ”

After Lin Haotian heard this, he looked up and smiled, and secretly said Yes, although Zhang Li is a woman, she is very far-sighted. If the Red Kingdom cannot be destroyed, the two sides will start an indefinite period of consumption, and the road to the Jin Kingdom will not be able to go any further, and now the Jin Country is equivalent to an arrow on the bow, and it has to be, even if it is an enemy of the Heavenly Kingdom, it has to be fought against the Golden Red War.

He nodded and said, "You are right! We must fight the battle against the Red Army, and we must win it, otherwise, there will be no day for the Jin Kingdom to raise its head in the future." ”

Zhang Li stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around Lin Haotian's bee waist, her head gently rested on his shoulder, and said softly: "No matter what decision the adult makes, the concubine will stand on the side of the adult and support the adult." ”

Lin Haotian's heart fluttered, and he subconsciously raised his hand to stroke her waterfall-like hair, his dark eyes gradually became deep, and he said quietly: "Although the nations are strong, in my eyes, they are just a rabble. No one will try to stop my determination to destroy Chi!"

This is Lin Haotian's true thoughts, and it is also what Zhang Li wants.

She has never forgotten the most embarrassing suicide note that Yang Jie gave her, it can be said that the monarchs of all countries are the enemies of You Guo, if you want to avenge You Guo, if you want to avenge him, you have to pay for the blood debts of the princes.

But she's just a weak woman. But she could use Lin Haotian's hand to use the Kingdom of Jin to fulfill her wish for revenge, which was why she reminded Lin Haotian not to fall for the plan.

It can be said that Lin Haotian is also one of her enemies, but she can talk and laugh freely in front of Lin Haotian, pretend to be a confidant, and even help Lin Haotian at a critical moment.

Many times, women's endurance is much tougher than men's. And such a woman is also much more terrible than a man.

Lin Haotian sent away the envoys of Yanguo, and in the afternoon of the same day, an urgent report suddenly came from the new Chiguo, the person who sent the report was sent by Song Hao, saying that Peng Cheng, the current county of Surabaya County, Chiguo, had the intention of surrendering, and sent a map of the distribution of the Red Army's forces in Surabaya County, and Song Hao made a copy of it, and gave it to Lin Haotian. Let him decide.

After hearing this urgent report, Lin Haotian was surprised and delighted. If the county leader of Surabaya County really turned against himself, it would be a pie in the sky.

He took a map of the distribution of forces in Surabaya County and examined it carefully.

Lin Haotian is also a battle-hardened expert now, and the troop distribution map can be seen at a glance to see whether it is reasonable or not, and the authenticity can also be judged from it.

The troop distribution map provided by Peng Cheng can be called fine, and even marked the outposts and fortresses where the Red Army was stationed with only 100 people. Lin Haotianzai took a closer look at it, and didn't see anything abnormal, and judged in his heart that this picture was eighty percent true.

However, the stakes are high. He didn't dare to make a conclusion easily, and he still needed to take it to the Military Administration Hall and let the people in the Military Administration Hall study it carefully.

The military and political hall of the Jin State was dominated by Chu Lianyu, the left minister, supplemented by Bi Wen, Zhang Hui and other officials. Seeing the troop distribution map brought by Lin Haotian, everyone gathered around and stepped forward, discussing in a low voice while carefully inspecting it.

After a lot of research, the opinions of the Military Administration Hall were basically the same as those of Lin Haotian, and they both believed that it was more likely that this troop distribution map was true.

Zhang Hui said thoughtfully: "According to the information we have now, the strength of Surabaya County in the Red Kingdom has increased to about 300,000, and the total strength marked on this troop distribution map is exactly 320,000, which is consistent with the information we have obtained. But even so, it should not be taken lightly, even if the total number of troops is correct, but if the distribution of troops in various places is not true, this map is like a piece of waste paper. ”

Lin Haotian nodded, and said quietly: "You're right, just sitting here to study and analyze, you will never figure out whether this troop distribution map is true or false, if you want to find out, you have to check it on the spot!"

Chu Lianyu asked: "What do you mean by ......?"

Lin Haotian said: "Arrange for our army spies to investigate, you don't have to find all the places, but at least a few key points must be clear, and then check with this troop distribution map, you will know its authenticity." ”

Chu Lianyu thought about it, and it seemed that there was no better way to do it, so he arched his hand and said, "Yes, my lord, I will explain this matter to General Shao when we meet the minister!"

Zhang Hui smiled and said: "Actually, this troop distribution map has a very limited effect on our side, and the reason why my lord is anxious to find out its authenticity is to use it to judge whether Peng Cheng is really surrendering or fraudulently. If Peng Cheng really surrendered, it would be too beneficial to our side, not to mention that there are 300,000 defenders in Surabaya County, even if it is doubled, our army can easily take the county. ”

Lin Haotian looked up and smiled, and at the same time, he secretly admired Zhang Hui's quick thinking, and he guessed his mind so thoroughly.

He didn't say anything, and said to Chu Lianyu: "This matter must be done as soon as possible, there are many dreams at night, if Peng Cheng is really descending, we must not miss this opportunity." ”

Chu Lianyu said with a straight face: "Weichen understands, don't worry. ”

He did things, Lin Haotian was of course relieved, and then explained two more sentences, leaving this troop distribution map, and he led people out of the military and political hall.

On the same day, Shao Lin ordered his subordinates to send a message to his own spies lurking in Surabaya County, asking them to find out as much as possible the distribution of troops in the county's defenders. If there are places that are heavily defended and there is no space to drill, it is okay not to check, but for those places where the defense is lax, it is necessary to check and understand clearly, and the most important point is that the degree must be fast, and it will be reported as soon as it is checked.

Shao Lin gave an order. The spies of the Jin Kingdom ambush in Surabaya County immediately took action to conduct a comprehensive survey of the number of defenders in various parts of Surabaya County, and a piece of information was also sent back to Wancheng with flying pigeons.

All the information that came back was finally compiled here in the Military Administration Hall, and people compared it with the troop distribution map provided by Peng Cheng, of course, the two data could not be exactly the same. There will be more or less discrepancies in them, but the amount of discrepancies is not large, and it can be judged from this that the troop distribution map provided by Peng Cheng is indeed true.

Lin Haotian was very happy to get such a conclusion, and sent an order to Song Hao of Cangping, asking him to immediately send someone to contact Peng Cheng, as long as the latter was willing to surrender, no matter what conditions were proposed. It's acceptable to all sides.

New Chi Country, Kurahei.

After receiving Lin Haotian's order, Song Hao did not dare to slack off, and immediately found Song Shun, the general of the New Red Kingdom, to discuss with him what to do about this matter. Don't look at Song Hao as the prince of the New Red Kingdom, but among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, the only one he can trust is Song Shun.

The court of the new Chi Kingdom was all under the control of the Jin people, and the left and right prime ministers and the imperial historians were all Jin people, from top to bottom. Only the general Song Shun is on Song Hao's side, besides. Song Shun is still his distant relative, and according to his generation, Song Shun still has to call Song Hao his cousin.

Song Hao explained the matter to Song Shun, and then said: "General Lin has handed over this matter to me, but I want to win over Peng Cheng." It is necessary to send a minister of weight to Surabaya County. Virtuous nephew, you see...... Who's supposed to send this?"

He wanted to say that he would send Song Shun there, but it was really hard to say. Surabaya County is the territory of the Red Country, go to Surabaya County. It is also full of risks, and if one is not good, you have to give your life there.

Song Shun was so smart, he understood what Song Hao meant as soon as he heard it, he was angry and angry in his heart, and the roots of his teeth were itching.

Up and down the Manchu Dynasty, only he and Song Hao are uncles and nephews, and only he and Song Hao are in the same boat, but now it's good, there is such a dangerous errand, Song Hao doesn't choose others, but chooses himself, I really don't know if he has a brain or a straw in his head? He forcibly suppressed his anger, his eyes rolled, and after a while, he said: "Why don't you send Chen Ping, the right minister, to go?"

"Oh?" Song Hao opened his mouth wide and looked at Song Shun in surprise.

Song Shun explained: "First of all, Chen Ping was originally a well-known lobbyist in Jinguo, and it was perfect for him to contact Peng Cheng. Secondly, Chen Ping is a golden person, and he is not of the same heart and mind as adults, let him go to Surabaya County, if he unfortunately dies there, there will be no loss to adults, but he will also remove a thorn in his eye. Besides, let Chen Ping go, the matter was done, it was the credit of the adult, and the mess was done, it was the Jin people who made it themselves, and General Lin couldn't blame the adults at that time. ”

After listening to Song Shun's words, Song Hao was startled, and when he heard the meaning of his words, he completely put himself in the opposite position of Jin Guo.

He looked around nervously, fortunately there was no one around, and he said nervously: "Virtuous nephew, you can't talk nonsense, it was General Lin who saved me at the beginning, and now it is General Lin who helped me establish the country in Cangping, I ...... How can you go against General Lin?"

Song Shun was almost angry, feeling that now Song Hao still regards Lin Haotian as a good person and treats him as a life-saving benefactor! He shook his head secretly, no wonder Lin Haotian was willing to choose him as the monarch of the New Red Kingdom, such a straw bag, if he were replaced, he would also choose him.

He said meaningfully: "If General Lin is really sincere in helping the lord, he will not replace all the important ministers of the court with Jin Ren and empty the rights of the lord!"

Song Hao explained: "General Lin is also doing this to help me govern the country......

Too lazy to argue with him about this, Song Shun said: "Uncle Wang, your nephew will never harm you, you must be right to listen to your nephew in this matter, take over Peng Cheng, Chen Ping is the best candidate, Uncle Wang just assigns him to do it." ”

Song Shun and Song Hao couldn't make sense, so they could only move out their family affection to persuade Song Hao, Song Hao just ate this set, he pondered for a while, nodded helplessly, and said: "Okay, just do it according to the meaning of the virtuous nephew, and let the right minister go to pick up Peng Cheng." ”

The next day, above the early dynasty, Song Hao announced the matter in public.

Regarding Peng Cheng's desire to defect to himself, it has already been rumored in the court of the New Red Kingdom, and Chen Ping has long known about this matter, although he was a little surprised that Song Hao assigned him to do it, but he did not refuse, after all, Song Hao is still a monarch on the surface, and he can't be too polite and excessive as a courtier. What's more, in his opinion, recruiting Peng Cheng is also an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, Peng Cheng does have the idea of defecting, and persuading him to surrender is tantamount to being captured.

Chen Ping didn't think much about it and agreed on the spot.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, some ministers of the Jin State came to him and persuaded him that he should not take this errand, because the danger was too great. Chen Ping didn't think so, of course he wouldn't leave for Surabaya County immediately, but would send someone to probe first.

On the same day, he sent his cronies' henchmen, in civilian clothes, to Surabaya to contact Peng Cheng.

The people he sent met Peng Cheng smoothly, but the latter didn't talk to him at all, and hastily beat him back, and made it very clear that if the New Red Kingdom really valued him, he would naturally send someone of sufficient weight to talk to him, if he only sent a nobody, he would not be reused even if he defected to the New Red Country, rather than this, it was better not to surrender.

When the cronies returned to Cangping, saw Chen Ping, and reported to him about his trip, the latter fell into deep thought and was speechless for a long time.

It seems that it is not enough to only send the following people forward, if you want to recruit Peng Cheng, you have to use high-ranking officials. (To be continued......)
