Chapter 484: A Smile When We Meet
As early as the outbreak of the Jin-Chi War, the Jin army had spies who had been secretly lurking in Zhang Tao's mansion, and this time in order to rescue Wang Han, the Jin State invested a lot of money in Zhang Tao, and Zhang Tao, who saw the money, also readily accepted.
No one could have imagined that Zhang Tao, who openly rejected Wang Han in the court, would contain him at this time, not to mention that Zhang Tao was the right minister, and the soldiers were all polite when they saw him.
Since the robbery of the prison, Wang Han seems to have evaporated from the world, no one is alive, no body is dead, and in the end it has become an unsolved case.
It is impossible for a national capital to be locked down for a long time, and after three days of lockdown, Shi Huai reluctantly revoked the blockade order, but issued a national wanted warrant.
With Zhang Tao as a cover, the demon warrior took Wang Han to leave Jiankang very smoothly, and after leaving the city, Zhang Tao returned immediately, and the next thing had nothing to do with him, how to take Wang Han away, it was the problem of the golden people.
In the past few days, Wang Han has been in a coma, his body is already weak, and he can't withstand the disaster of prison, not to mention that he has become a death row prisoner from a dignified general, since he entered prison, he has not eaten a mouthful of food, and he himself tortured himself half to death without being tortured by others.
has been out of Jiankang, how to bring Wang Han and his biological mother back to Cangping next, this is no longer a difficult task for the demon underworld warriors, not to mention that there are their own spies to guide them along the way, which is even more effective with half the effort.
Half a month later, the Demon Warrior successfully escorted Wang Han back to Cangping.
Hearing the news that Wang Han had arrived in Cangping safely, Lin Haotian was overjoyed and personally went out of the city to greet him, even Chu Lianyu, Gu Liangyun and other ministers and generals were also very curious about Wang Han, and wanted to see with their own eyes what this famous general of the Red Kingdom who could make Wang Lian suffer defeat looked like.
When Lin Haotian saw Wang Han, he felt similar to when he was in the valley at the bottom of the cliff. His face was pale, his expression was in a trance, and his body was too thin to withstand a burst of gold.
"Why is it that every time I see General Wang Han, I have a sick face. Lin Haotian stepped forward with a smile and looked at Wang Han from one glance at the next.
Wang Han smiled weakly, he didn't expect that he and Lin Haotian would meet again in this situation. He said faintly: "Last time I was leaving, I said that I would meet General Lin on the battlefield again, but General Lin said that it might not be, and it was really said by the general. ”
Lin Haotian waved his hand. said in a low voice: "If there is anything else to talk about, let's talk about it when we go into the city!" As he spoke, he introduced Chu Lianyu and other ministers of humanities and martial arts to Wang Han, and Wang Han had seen them one by one, with a calm attitude. Humble and polite, but without the slightest hint of flattery.
Wait until you have introduced all the ministers on the Jin side. Lin Haotian then began to introduce Song Hao, the new Red King. and the red ministers in the new court.
Seeing Song Hao, Wang Han was quite embarrassed, and he didn't know what kind of etiquette to do to him, if he did the great courtesy of the monarch and ministers, it was equivalent to admitting that he was the Red King, and Shi Huai was a traitor. The Jiankang court was a puppet court.
Just when Wang Han was in a dilemma, Song Hao laughed out loud, without any king's shelf, and came to Wang Han in a hurry. He took his hand and said enthusiastically, "I...... This king has admired General Wang Han for a long time, but he has never had a deep friendship, I don't know if General Wang Han still remembers, we met in Jiankang's Shangbin Building a few days ago!"
Wang Han has no impression of Song Hao himself, thinking that he is just a gentleman, and he has put the label of 'not my race' on his head early, although the two of them lived in the same capital in the past, and they were both nobles, it is true that they often meet, but they are just nodding friends, and there is no contact.
"Of course I remember, I see...... Your Highness is all right, and I am very happy. "Anyway, Song Hao is indeed a prince of one place, and Wang Han has reached the limit of calling him His Royal Highness.
"Okay, Ben Shuai sees that General Wang Han is also tired, let's go to the city first!" Lin Haotian said lukewarmly beside him.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Song Hao was like a subordinate in front of Lin Haotian, not daring to overstep in the slightest, after listening to Lin Haotian's words, he hurriedly bowed down and took two steps back to the side, letting Lin Haotian go first.
Lin Haotian was not polite, he walked towards his carriage with his hands behind his back, and before getting into the car, he specially asked Wang Han to come and sit together.
Fortunately, his carriage was spacious enough, and it was more than enough to accommodate him, Chu Lianyu, and Wang Han.
On the way to the palace, Lin Haotian said with a smile: "Wang Han, Jiankang, you can't go back no matter what, what are your plans in the future?"
Wang Han blinked, thought for a moment, smiled at Lin Haotian, and said, "I think, no matter what Wang Han has planned, it doesn't matter to General Lin. ”
"Oh?" Lin Haotian asked puzzledly, "Why do you say that?"
Wang Han said with a light smile: "General Lin spent so much effort to take Wang Han to Cangping this time, presumably Wang Han's fate in the future, General Lin has also arranged it, right?"
Chu Lianyu was stunned, and involuntarily turned his head to look at Lin Haotian.
The latter laughed, nodded and praised: "General Wang Han is really smart, and he guesses correctly." ”
"The general's business, I will make my own arrangements in the future!" Lin Haotian also seemed very happy after successfully recruiting Wang Han, and after getting out of the car, he said to Wang Han with a smile: "I hope that the general will contribute more to our country in the future!"
Lin Haotian attaches great importance to himself, but Wang Han does not dare to forget his identity, he said with a straight face: "I should do my best to live up to the high expectations of the general!"
"Haha-" Lin Haotian laughed.
That night, Lin Haotian set up a banquet in the palace to entertain Wang Han and the ministers of Jin Chi.
The atmosphere at the banquet was harmonious, whether it was Jin Chen or Chi Chen, they pushed each other's cups and exchanged lamps, talking and laughing about Jin Sheng.
The ministers and generals of the Jin State present were all very easy-going, no one showed a superior posture, and they did not deliberately make a face or put on a show in front of the Red Ministers, of course, this is also what Lin Haotian meant, now the situation in the new Red Country is not stable, and the help of these Red officials is needed, and it is not wise to offend them at this time.
The Jin people don't look for trouble, and the red people are even more unlikely to take the initiative to find trouble with the Jin people, so although there is a separation between the two sides, there is no slightest expression on the surface, and it seems that the ministers and generals on both sides are in harmony, as if they are a family.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the banquet in the hall was withdrawn, Song Hao first looked around, and then said to Lin Haotian with a smile: "General Lin, can you let the dancing girls go to the palace to have fun?"
Besides being a woman, can't you think of something else? It's really mud that can't support the wall! Lin Haotian looked down on Song Hao in his heart, gave him a blank look, and said: "Brother Song, in a few days, Ben Shuai will return to China." ”
"Ah, good, good, good!" Song Hao nodded again and again, he hoped that Lin Haotian would leave as soon as possible, so that there would be someone who could control himself.
Of course you want me to leave early!" Lin Haotian sneered and said, "The army of my Jin Kingdom will return to China with Ben Shuai. ”
Song Hao shuddered, half of the wine in the cup was spilled, and he didn't bother to wipe his hands, he asked nervously, "The Jin army is also going to return to China?"
"Yes!"
"That'...... That brother's side...... What should I do?" Song Hao was older than Lin Haotian, but in front of Lin Haotian, he only dared to call himself his brother.
"So, I want to ask Brother Song, how many troops does your country's Central Army have now, how is the capital armed, and how are the borders of other regions armed?"
"This ......" Song Hao's cold sweat flowed down, his face was red, and he couldn't say a word. How many soldiers and horses were levied by the new imperial court, and what was the situation of the defense in various places, he didn't even ask, how could he know the inside story?
Song Hao couldn't answer, he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, like sitting on pins and needles, the ministers of the Red Kingdom who were present shook their heads secretly, although Shi Huai was brutal, but he still had real talent and real learning, this Song Hao was good, and it was true that he was approachable, but he had an empty stomach, and he only knew pleasure all day long, just a straw bag and a rice bucket.
Seeing that Song Hao couldn't get off the stage, a strategist on the side continued: "General Huilin, at present, there are 300,000 central troops levied by the imperial court, most of which are local troops from all over the country, of which 200,000 troops are stationed in the capital, and the other 100,000 troops are guarding various places on the border. ”
Lin Haotian sighed twice and said: "At the beginning, my country's First Army, Second Army, Third Army and Fifth Army were able to hold Anqiu and Zhengzhong two counties respectively, and they could barely hold it, but now, you only use 100,000 Central Army, which was originally a local army, to hold these two counties?"
Song Hao took over the conversation and hurriedly said: "Conscription and training are not overnight, and now we can't resist the rebel forces in the south by relying on our own strength alone, so ...... Therefore, I hope that General Lin can leave the Jin army behind and assist our country in defense. (To be continued......)
