Chapter 220: Expected
"What?" This sentence shocked everyone present, including Lin Haotian.
As soon as Chen Yan's words fell, the cup in Lin Haotian's hand had already slapped heavily on the table, and the person also stood up, his eyes shot out two lightning lights, staring directly at Chen Yan, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Sima Changren is going to die, if that's the case, then Jihua, who is going west to destroy the wood, will see the light of day again, but will this be true?
Lin Haotian's widening eyes slowly narrowed, and his clenched fist was released and then clenched again.
Unexpectedly, Lin Haotian would have such a big reaction, Chen Yan was stunned, looked up at Lin Haotian, his face was full of confusion, and stammered: "Will... Checkmate...... You are..."
Lin Haotian took a deep breath, sat down slowly after standing up, he snorted heavily, and said pretending to be displeased: "Although Ben Shuai and General Sima have clashed on the battlefield several times, I also admire General Sima's talent in my heart, even if Lord Chen is an envoy to negotiate peace, if I dare to curse General Sima without concealment, I will be blamed for turning my face and not recognizing people!"
Chen Yan was full of wrongs, how could he curse Sima Changren? What he just said was obviously the truth, and besides, he didn't want Sima Changren to die of illness!
He leaned to the side, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said: "General Lin, even if you have the courage to curse General Sima!
"Impossible!" Lin Haotian said with a cold face: "General Sima Lingwu is so strong, how can a single knife wound be fatal?"
Chen Yan hurriedly said: "This is what I have seen with my own eyes, there is absolutely no falsehood, and besides, General Sima's injuries are much more serious than the rumors. In addition, he had no time to recuperate, and he had been personally managing the affairs of the army, which had worsened his injuries and ...... I'm terminally ill now!Woo-"
Speaking of this, Chen Yan couldn't help but fall to the ground and cry bitterly. Ma De on the side also kept wiping his tears.
At this time, Lin Haotian can see that Chen Yan and Ma De are by no means acting, people's expressions can pretend to be sad, but the emotions that naturally flow cannot be disguised, it seems that Sima Changren is indeed critically ill.
Thinking of this, the corners of Lin Haotian's mouth picked at Xiangshang, and then he said, "Lord Chen and Master Ma are drunk. Come on, send the two adults to the camp tent to rest, and take good care of them!"
"Yes, King!" With Lin Haotian's words, four guards walked in from outside, picked up Chen Yan and Ma De, turned around and walked out.
"General Lin, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk!" The key peace matter has not yet been completely finalized, and of course Chen Yan and Ma De can't just leave.
However, Lin Haotian didn't give them a chance to talk at all. While waving his hand, he said, "Let's talk about peace tomorrow!"
"Generalβ"
Chen Yan still wanted to speak, but the two guards who supported him had forcibly lifted him out of the Chinese military tent.
After Chen and Ma left for a while, the quiet tent suddenly exploded like a frying pot, and people's expressions were surprised and happy. There was a lot of talk among themselves.
As long as Sima Changren dies, no matter how powerful the Mu Kingdom's naval army is, it will not be able to stop his own army.
Ding Feng walked up to Lin Haotian with a smile on his face and asked excitedly, "My lord, do you think this matter is true or false?"
Lin Haotian's eyes flashed with a ghostly light. looked at Ding Feng and asked rhetorically, "Ding Feng, do you think Chen Yan and Ma De are lying?"
Ding Feng thought about it seriously, and then slowly shook his head and said, "The last general doesn't think it's like it!"
"Yes, I feel the same way. Lin Haotian held his chin and fell into deep thought.
At this time, Ding Feng's eyes rolled, and he suddenly remembered something, and asked urgently: "Is the knife that the adult injured Sima Changren serious?" The knife on Sima Changren's body was stabbed by Lin Haotian, whether he would become critically ill because of his injury, Lin Haotian naturally has the most right to speak.
The question that Ding Feng asked was exactly what Lin Haotian was thinking about, and he muttered: "Although that knife is not fatal, but it pierces deeply, if it is an ordinary person, there is no possibility of survival, but Sima Changren's cultivation is profound, whether he can save his life, I really dare not assert." β
Lin Haotian had never met someone who had been stabbed by his own Xuantie Han Halberd and could still not die, and now he had no bottom in his heart.
Ding Feng said thoughtfully: "The adult halberd method is powerful, and Sima Changren's critical illness is seen by Chen Yan and Ma De with their own eyes, so it should be true." β
"Well, what General Ding said is reasonable!" At this time, the other generals also gathered around and nodded their heads in agreement with Ding Feng's statement.
One person, two people said this, Lin Haotian may still have doubts in his heart, but everyone said so, Lin Haotian's doubts were gradually dispelled, and he was sure that Sima Changren was indeed critically ill, he put his hands behind his back, and couldn't help but daxiao on his back. said: "God help me!"
As he spoke, he suddenly restrained his smile again, looked around at the generals in front of him, and said, "Just tonight, our army will fight it again to cross the river!"
"Huh?" Hearing this, everyone was shocked and asked, "How are you going to fight?"
Lin Haotian chuckled and asked rhetorically, "Where was our army defeated last time?"
"Twenty miles from Nanying!" replied the crowd blankly.
"If you are now on the west bank of the Wang River, will you still strictly defend the place where our army has just been defeated?" Lin Haotian narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile.
In the battle between the two armies, if one of the sides chooses a location for a sneak attack and fails, then the next time this side continues to use sneak attack tactics, it will never choose this place again, which is the way of thinking of normal people.
Lin Haotian uses reverse thinking, the more you think it is impossible, the more I have to do it, he also wants to get up from where he falls, of course, Lin Haotian also has his reasons for deciding.
When the generals heard this, they all fell silent, quietly thinking about Lin Haotian's plan.
After a while, people nodded to each other, all of them thought that the adult's strategy was feasible, and the people praised in unison: "Your Excellency is wise! Today, the Mu Kingdom sent envoys to negotiate peace, and they would never have imagined that they would attack tonight, and they would attack from the place where they were defeated last time, this plan is very good!"
Lin Haotian smiled proudly, his mind moved, and said: "There are ten spies in our army, don't leak the matter of tonight's battle, wait until the time to launch an attack in the evening, don't make any explanations, take the whole army and leave, and don't give the spies a chance to report the news." β
"Yes, my lord!" the generals simply surrendered.
Lin Haotian asked again: "How many rafts are left in our army?"
The generals will be bitter to each other.
Bi Wu said: "My lord, in the last defeat, the rafts built by our army were almost lost, and although some were recovered later, the total number will not exceed five hundred. β
"With so few ......" only 500 rafts, even if there were no enemy troops, it would be a problem to transport more than 100,000 troops from their own side to cross the river. He thought for a moment and said, "Wait until nightfall, pull all the boats docked on the shore ashore, and let the soldiers march against the ships." β
This time he was a lonely throw, either he succeeded, or he lost all his family resources, and if he lost the battle again, the Jin army completely lost the tools to cross the river.
The generals felt Lin Haotian's determination, and their spirits were all shocked, and they shouted in unison: "Obey!"
Lin Haotian was ready to fight late at night, and he wanted to secretly cross the Wang River again from the place where he was defeated last time, but how did he know that his actions on his side had already been calculated clearly by Sima Changren on the other side. (To be continued......)
