Volume III Chapter 705

Lin Haotian met with Nie Shu, who came from afar, in addition to the two of them, there were also Chu Lianyu and the commanders of the Jin army, and Nie Shu came with several of his generals and staff.

After a brief greeting, the two sides sat down one after another.

Lin Haotian was in the center, Chu Lianyu and other Jin people sat on his right hand, and You Ren led by Nie Shu sat on his left hand.

Lin Haotian said with a smile: "I heard that not long ago, General Nie led his army to attack a Yan army camp on the border of Muyou, and won a complete victory, annihilating 50,000 Yan troops among them. ”

This battle is the biggest battle Nie Shu has ever fought, and it is also the battle he is most proud of, listening to Lin Haotian mention it, his face naturally showed a look of pride, but on the surface he still pretended to be humble, and said: "It turns out that General Lin also heard about this battle, it was just a fluke, not enough to worry about." ”

Lin Haotian looked up and smiled, and said: "The central army of the Yan Kingdom with 50,000 people can be wiped out by luck, but it is far from enough!" A group of improvised rebels can completely annihilate the 50,000 Yan army in a medium-sized camp when all the materials and armaments are scarce, which I am afraid only you can do.

This battle also made Lin Haotian feel jealous of You Ren again, of course, his jealousy will not be on the surface of his face, but will only exist in the depths of his heart.

Nie Shu laughed and said, "General Lin is serious. ”

"Ben Shuai also heard that General Nie wants to rebuild the country in Youdi?" Lin Haotian asked casually.

Nie Shu was about to tell the truth, but before he could speak, a middle-aged man sitting on his left side preemptively said: "Recovering the country is just a slogan used by my general's temporary, and its purpose is to attract more people with lofty ideals to come and fight against the Yan people together." ”

The middle-aged man who spoke was named Li Cong, one of the most important advisers under Nie Shu, and he had a sharp mind. The city is deep. He knew in his heart that he must not mention the matter of recovering You Guo in front of Lin Haotian, when You Guo was destroyed, Jin Guo was one of the culprits, and talking to Lin Haotian about recovering You Guo would only arouse his vigilance and hostility.

Nie Shu is also very smart. After listening to Li Cong's words, he immediately understood his intentions, he arched his hand to Lin Haotian, and said: "What Mr. Li said is extremely true, General Lin, now he only thinks about leading You people to drive out the Yan people, and as for recovering the country, he has never considered it. ”

Lin Haotian smiled. Nodding slightly, he said slowly: "The country has perished, the people have been displaced, and they have been bullied by outsiders. ”

Nie Shu's face was straight, he didn't think about it, and said seriously: "General Lin." There is no intention of recovering the country. ”

Alas, Li Cong sighed secretly beside him, don't look at the fact that the lord and the commander of the Jin Army are of the same age. But when it comes to scheming, the lord is far behind.

The words of the commander of the Jin Army are obviously still tentative, but anyone who listens to them will feel sentimental, either sighing or not answering, but the lord doesn't even want to think about it. Immediately showing that he has no intention of returning to the country is too fake.

Sure enough, after Nie Shu finished speaking, Lin Haotian sneered in his heart, and he was cunning. However, the expression on his face did not change at all, he still smiled, and he asked casually, "What are General Nie's plans in the future?"

Nie Shu pondered for a moment, and Zhengse said: "Don't hide it from the general, I plan to expand westward and use Yuxi as the foundation to compete with the Yan people." ”

Lin Haotian rubbed his chin and said slowly: "If Ben Shuai is not mistaken, Yan Guo has a heavy army stationed in Youxi. ”

Yusi borders several Fanbangs, and often suffers from the attacks of Fanbang, when Youguo existed in the past, it was also Yuyuxi stationed heavy troops and strictly guarded the border, and now Yanguo has fully taken over Youdi, and the troops stationed in the West have also become Yan Army.

Nie Shu smiled bitterly and exclaimed, "General Lin really knows everything about the world. Yu Xi did have the main central army of the Yan State, among them, Jinggu County was stationed with the 16th Army Corps of the Yan State, Bainan County was stationed with the 17th Army Corps, and Fantiao County had the largest garrison, with the 9th and 11th Army Corps, and the total strength of the Yan State in these three counties exceeded 400,000 people. ”

Lin Haotian nodded and asked with a smile, "Then how many soldiers and horses does General Nie have now?"

"Oh...... Insufficient, less than 200,000. ”

"With less than 200,000 troops, to fight the 400,000 Yanguo Central Army, General Nie thinks he has a chance of winning?" Lin Haotian couldn't help but ask curiously.

Nie Shu's face was full of helplessness, and said: "If we can't pacify Yuxi, we can only survive in the cracks of the Yanren forces, and we will always face the situation of being attacked by the enemy. Of course, with our current strength, we can't compete with the Yan army stationed in Yuxi, so I came to Liuhe today to meet General Lin and talk about the alliance between the two sides. As long as we can get the assistance of the Jin State, as long as we can have sufficient armaments and food, we can guarantee that in less than half a year, our troops will be enough to match Yuxi's Yan army!"

After a pause, he said meaningfully: "After pacifying Yuxi, I can use Yusi as the foundation to expand eastward and completely expel the Yan people from Youdi. As long as General Lin is willing to help, after we drive out the Yan people, we will give Longhu County as a reward to the Jin Kingdom. ”

Lin Haotian blinked, smiled, and was silent.

Seeing that Lin Haotian didn't speak, thinking that he felt that his reward was too light, he immediately said: "If General Lin is not satisfied, he can also give up Jinji County to ......."

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Lin Haotian waved his hand and said, "Those are all afterthoughts, let's not talk about it now, General Nie will tell me first, how much armament and food do you want my Jin Kingdom to help you?"

"This ......" Nie Shu subconsciously looked at the subordinates around him, pondered for a moment, and said, "I ...... We now need at least one legion's armaments, military supplies, 200,000 taels of salaries, and 1,000,000 stone of grain and grass. ”

The armament and military resources of a legion are equivalent to hundreds of thousands of sets of armor and weapons (100,000 sets are normal needs, and tens of thousands of reserves are needed for replacement) and no less than 100 large equipment such as stone throwing machines. If one million stones of grain and grass were calculated as one stone for one tael of silver, it would be equivalent to one million taels, and if two hundred thousand taels of military pay were included, a total of at least five million taels would be added up.

In Nie Shu's own opinion, he was already a lion's mouth, and he was ready to be 'bargained' by Lin Haotian.

Five million taels was an astronomical amount in Nie Shu's opinion. But here in the current huge Jin Kingdom, it is nothing, even the amount of silver spent to build several ministers' official residences in Liuhe is far greater than this amount.

Lin Haotian held his chin, still silent in thought.

Seeing this, Nie Shu subconsciously looked at his subordinates.

At this time, many generals and advisers also gave him a look. It is implied that he wants too much and should not have asked for so many things from the boss of the Golden Army at the first meeting.

Nie Shu took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "General Lin......"

Lin Haotian raised his hand and interrupted his next words, what he was thinking about now was not the question of how much Nie Shu wanted, but whether Nie Shu was worth his own assistance, and whether he should help him.

If Nie Shu is a mud that can't support the wall, no matter how much he helps, it's useless, it's tantamount to a waste. It is a waste of the resources of the Jin Kingdom, and if Nie Shu is really a talent, if he really has great talents, his assistance to him may become a problem for raising tigers, and in the end he will suffer from it, so it is really difficult to pinch it in the middle.

Lin Haotian was a little undecided, and turned his head to look at Chu Lianyu on the side. Ask him what he means.

Chu Lianyu smiled slightly and looked at Nie Shu opposite. opened his mouth and said: "I heard that General Nie has a lot of talents, and he is a powerful general, I wonder if today I can open my eyes and see the strange people under General Nie's command?"

Nie Shu didn't dare to have the slightest hint of snubbing towards Chu Lianyu, he leaned over and said, "Lord Chu is serious. Among the subordinates, there are no strange people, and they can't be compared with the fierce generals of the Jin Kingdom. ”

"Haha!" Chu Lianyu looked up and smiled, and said, "As soon as General Nie opened his mouth, he asked my Jin State to aid a legion of military funds, armaments, and food, if General Nie didn't even have strange people under his command." I don't think there is any need for my country to help you anymore. ”

"This ......" Nie Shu's body was shocked, and his face changed, at this time, a big man dressed as a guard standing behind him stepped forward and said, "I am willing to sacrifice ugliness!"

This big man, with a big shoulders and a round waist, is burly and majestic, his arms are as thick as a child's thighs, his face is full of horizontal meat, he walks abruptly and tremblingly, and with his dark skin, it really looks like a half-cut iron tower.

Lin Haotian, Chu Lianyu and the generals looked this person up and down, Chu Lianyu looked at Nie Shu and asked with a smile: "General Nie, this is ......?"

Nie Shu hurriedly introduced: "This is the escort general under the bottom, named Lei Hong. As he spoke, he turned around and reminded in a low voice, "Don't hurry up and see General Lin and Lord Chu!"

The big man named Lei Hong walked out from behind Nie Shu, came to the center of the big tent, and bowed to Lin Haotian and Chu Lianyu respectively, and said angrily: "Villain Lei Hong, I have seen General Lin and Lord Chu!"

Lin Haotian looked at him with a smile and asked with a smile, "Lei Hong, what are your skills?"

"Returning to Your Highness, I have a lot of strength below!"

"Oh, in the army, there are countless powerful people, what is different about you?" Lin Haotian asked with a smile.

What he said really stopped Lei Hong, he just has a lot of strength, and as for what is different, he can't say.

He held back for a long time before he said, "The villain's strength is very strong!"

"Haha!" Lin Haotian was amused by him, nodded and said, "Since that's the case, you can let Ben Shuai see how much strength you have!"

"Yes!" Lei Hong intervened, and then looked around, as if looking for something that could test his strength, but after looking around, he couldn't find a suitable one, and when his eyes fell on the outside of the tent, his eyes suddenly lit up, and without saying a word, he strode out.

I saw Lei Hong walk out of the Chinese military tent and strode to the handsome flag in front of the camp tent.

This handsome flag is the main flag of the first legion, the flag is embroidered with the four characters of the first legion, and the flagpole has the thickness of an adult's arm. The base of the handsome flag is a huge square stone seat, the height is to the knees of people, the length and width are not less than one meter, this is a real boulder, even if it does not weigh a thousand catties, it must have seven or eight hundred catties.

Lei Hong first visually inspected the stone seat and the handsome flag, then spit twice into his palm, rubbed his hands back and forth, and then, squatting down, one hand into the bottom of the stone seat. Holding the edges and corners of the stone seat with one hand, as he shouted, the heavy stone seat and the handsome flag of the First Legion were carried by him, and it didn't seem to be as heavy as he imagined, Lei Hong stood up without changing his face, and the stone seat with both hands became one-handed.

Even the stone seat has a handsome flag. Added together, it is almost nearly a thousand catties, but he only used one hand to hold it high above his head, and his face was full of ease, and he couldn't see the slightest effort.

"Wow-"

For a while, the guards around the Chinese military tent couldn't help but inhale one after another, and the voices of surprise came and went, and the faces of everyone in the tent changed suddenly.

The discoloration of the golden man. It's because of Lei Hong's divine power, and the discoloration of Nie Shu and the others is because Lei Hong's actions are too rude, it is the handsome flag of the First Legion, and such a move is tantamount to slapping the face in the face and humiliating the First Legion in public.

Nie Shu shivered and stood up. scolded outward: "Lei Hong, don't be rude. Put down the banner!"

Lei Hong didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, but instead looked around at the Jin State guards around him triumphantly, and then shouted to Lin Haotian, who was sitting in the middle of the camp: "General Lin, how is the strength of the villain?"

When Nie Shu heard this, he couldn't wait to rush over and slap Lei Hong twice, he hurriedly turned around and bowed to Lin Haotian. said: "General Lin, Lei Hong is from a humble background, he is a wild man in a mountain village, he doesn't know etiquette, and I ask General Lin to understand......"

He wasn't done yet. Lin Haotian had already stood up and walked out with a smile on his face.

"General Lin......" Nie Shu still wanted to go out with him, Chu Lianyu stood up, waved his hand at him, and said with a smile: "General Nie, don't worry, my family will not be angry about such a trivial matter." ”

Nie Shu's face was full of embarrassment, and he was so anxious that he rubbed his hands again and again.

Let's talk about Lin Haotian, he walked out of the Chinese military tent, came to Lei Hong, looked up at the stone seat and handsome flag held high by him, beckoned and said: "Come, let Ben Shuai try!"

Lei Hong looked Lin Haotian up and down with strange eyes, although he didn't speak, but he had an expression of 'are you okay' on his face.

Lin Haotian looked up and laughed, clapped his hands, and said, "Just take it!"

"Okay, General Lin is going to catch it!" Lei Hong didn't hand Lin Haotian the stone seat and the handsome flag he was holding, but threw it directly to him.

This made Chu Lianyu and the others couldn't help but be frightened, and subconsciously shouted: "Adults be careful......"

Who knew that Lin Haotian didn't dodge at all, and when the stone seat and the handsome flag were about to fall on top of his head, he suddenly raised his hands, catching the stone seat with one hand and the handsome flag with the other.

"Bang!"

Lin Haotian was strong, and at the same time, he felt a strong pressure sweeping towards him.

After several rebirths, Lin Haotian's physique has long been very comparable, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as infinite strength with his arms, but even so, he was still lowered by the pressure from the palm of his hand, and one leg was bent with it, almost kneeling on the ground.

He gritted his teeth, used all his strength to stand up, stood up straight, grabbed the flagpole with the hand and kicked it back, and the five fingers immediately grabbed the flagpole out of five round holes, deeply embedded in the flagpole, and then, with a broken cry, the flagpole was pulled out of the stone pedestal.

At the same time as he pulled out the flagpole, the palm holding the stone seat suddenly made a muffled sound, and a red fire was born, and the red flame was like a red python, which rose from the bottom of the stone seat, and instantly covered the entire stone seat.

Under the burning of the red fire, the stone seat emitted a white mist, and in the blink of an eye, a stone seat weighing hundreds of catties disappeared out of thin air, only turning into a large white mist floating in the air.

Lin Haotian broke off again, and the flagpole he was holding with his other hand poked at the ground, and he heard a click, and the ground seemed to be poked through by him, and more than half of the long flagpole had already submerged into the ground.

He didn't take a second look at the flagpole, he only clapped his hands casually, and said indifferently while walking back to the tent of the Chinese army: "Even the handsome flag can't stand steadily, how can it be a army? ”

At the same time as he walked back to the Zhongjun tent, the white mist in the air seemed to be subjected to an invisible suction, tracking and burrowing into his body, and finally, there was no trace of the white mist in the air.

To say slowly, in fact, Lin Haotian's actions were done in one go, and it was just a matter of an instant.

As he walked back to the Zhongjun tent, everyone present was dumbfounded, whether it was Jin Ren or You Ren, this is the power of red fire, ignoring everything and extracting the essence.

I don't know how long it took, Lei Hong came back to his senses, he quickly caught up with Lin Haotian, walked back to the Zhongjun tent, and asked with a shocked face: "General Lin will not be able to use a spell?"

Lin Haotian laughed, his impression of Lei Hong was really good, he felt that this person had no scheming, honest and cute.

He raised a finger, and between the rotation of his mind, a black flame ignited on his fingertips, and he smiled: "You are born with a god, and Ben Shuai has a 'ghost fire' that can burn everything, you say, are you powerful or Ben Shuai is powerful?"

He was just a joke, Lei Hong really thought about it seriously, he pondered for a long time, nodded to Lin Haotian very seriously, and said, "It's still General Lin who is powerful!"

"Haha-"

Lin Haotian looked up and laughed again, and Nie Shu and the others on the side felt that they couldn't cry or laugh.

Nie Shu greeted Lin Haotian, bowed his hand, and said, "General Lin's martial arts are world-shattering, and today can be regarded as an eye-opener. ”

Lin Haotian narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Nie Shu, and said faintly: "General Nie's command is also full of talents, and Ben Shuai really underestimated you before. ”

He changed his words and said: "This commander can assist you with the armaments and military funds of your two legions, as well as 500,000 taels of military salaries, and 2 million stone grain and grass ......."

Hearing this, Nie Shu and the others couldn't believe their ears, and they stared at Lin Haotian in disbelief. (To be continued......)
