After ordering wine and food in the restaurant, Lin Haotian chatted with everyone around him while eating, talking and laughing, and there was no sense of hurrying at all.

Kong Qing was secretly anxious beside him, seeing that it was almost time, but General Lin didn't plan to go back to the inn yet, how could this be good.

He was so anxious that his eyes drifted out of the window from time to time, and suddenly, with sharp eyes, he saw a carriage in the street, not large, simple and unpretentious, but there were as many as thirty or forty attendants on either side of the carriage.

These people are all dressed in civilian clothes, with weapons diagonally straddling their waists, all of them are Yinghua and restrained, if a sharp-eyed person sees it, he can immediately judge that these people are all profound cultivators.

The carriage stopped in front of the inn, and the entourage on the left and right dispersed like a tide, some stayed where they were, guarding around the carriage, some scattered around the inn, and some stood on the opposite side of the street and at the front and back ends, not far from each other, just right to control the nearby area.

After everyone stood still, a middle-aged man next to the carriage opened the door curtain, and then reached out to help down a handsome young man wearing a jade crown and a brocade robe.

This person is in his early thirties, with a long face like a crown of jade, a dignified appearance, a tall and burly figure, and can be called a talent. This young man is not someone else, it is the prince of You Guo, Nie Dan.

Kong Qing in the restaurant immediately recognized Nie Dan, and he said to Lin Haotian urgently: "General Lin, the prince has arrived." ”

"En!" Lin Haotian only replied softly, and then there was no follow-up, he held the teacup, and drank the tea without a sip, as if the people from outside had nothing to do with him, and he didn't even glance out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing this, Kong Qing became even more anxious, it was General Lin who wanted to meet with the prince, but now that the prince had arrived, General Lin hid in the restaurant and did not show up. What the hell is the idea? He turned his head and looked out the window again, only to see that Nie Dan was looking left and right after getting out of the carriage, as if looking for someone to pick him up.

Kong Qing swallowed his spit and whispered to Lin Haotian: "General Lin, the prince has arrived, if the general refuses to meet." Next time, I want to invite the crown prince, but there is no possibility, and the general can't delay any longer......"

Before he finished speaking, at this time, several men rushed in from the back door of the restaurant, and they quickly came to Shao Lin's side and whispered a few words in his ear.

Shao Lin nodded as he listened, and when they finished speaking, he turned around and shook his head at Lin Haotian. said that the brother who sent Lu to investigate on his side did not find an ambush nearby.

After getting Shao Lin's confirmation, Lin Haotian took out a handkerchief, wiped the corners of his mouth, then stood up with a smile and said to Kong Qing: "Okay, Ben Shuai has eaten enough, now you can go." ”

Kong Qing finally understood at this time, it turned out that Lin Haotian had already sent his subordinates to investigate nearby. He decided to show up only after he was rewarded by his men.

In the past, he only thought that Lin Haotian was bold, but now he has seen it. At the same time, he is as meticulous as silk, acting as bold as a sound, but in fact he is cautious and cautious.

Anyway, Lin Haotian was finally willing to show up and did not let himself lose his trust in the prince. He secretly sighed and followed Lin Haotian. After leaving the restaurant, I went straight to the inn not far away.

The guards around Nie Dan immediately noticed the approach of Lin Haotian's group, and all the guards came forward in unison, blocking the way of Lin Haotian and the others, and the people raised their hands one by one to hold the hilt of the sword. Staring at them as if they were a great enemy.

As the prince's personal guards, these people are all first-class martial arts masters, so they can naturally feel the fluctuations and strong pressure of Lin Haotian's side of the dark pressure, and they can judge that they are not good at coming without fighting or probing.

Afraid that the prince's guards would misunderstand him, Kong Qing hurriedly stepped forward and called softly: "Prince, the last general is here!"

Hearing the words, Nie Dan separated the guards in front of him, walked out of the crowd, and when he saw Kong Qing, his originally cold face softened a little, and he was about to speak, when his eyes flickered, he happened to be facing Lin Haotian's tiger eyes.

Even though he had already learned from Kong Qing's mouth that Lin Haotian was going to meet with him, seeing Lin Haotian here and now, Nie Dan was still shocked and didn't come back to his senses for a few seconds.

The two looked at each other for a long time before Nie Dan came to his senses from the shock.

He was silent for a moment, and before he could speak, Lin Haotian took the lead, stepped forward, held his arm, and whispered with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince, if you don't mind, let's talk in the first room!"

Nie Dan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Okay! General Lin first, please!"

Even if it's dark now, it's outside after all, and there are many people and eyes, and it's quite restricted. Lin Haotian was in front, Nie Dan was behind, and the entourage of the two followed their respective masters into the inn.

Suddenly there were so many people, and all of them had extraordinary temperaments, either graceful and luxurious, or fierce, and the innkeeper and his men were dumbfounded, standing in place, not moving, unable to say a word.

The two waves of people didn't pay attention to them, people went to the second floor of the inn, Lin Haotian brought Zhang Bufan, Ling Wuya, Shao Lin and others inside, Nie Dan brought his five top guards into the room, and Kong Qing and Xu Jie also followed, as for the others, they all stayed in the corridor outside the room.

Inside the house.

Lin Haotian and Nie Dan sat opposite each other very tacitly, while their subordinates sat behind each other, and Kong Qing and Xu Jie sat in the middle of the two.

You don't need the two sides to speak, just look at the posture they are sitting on to know that they are going to start a negotiation.

Nie Dan and Lin Haotian also had no intention of greeting, the latter cut to the chase and said: "This time, Ben Shuai ventured into the capital to persuade the prince to cooperate with the coalition forces. ”

Lin Haotian cut straight to the point, Nie Dan put away his polite smile, showed a straight face, and asked, "I don't know what General Lin means by cooperation?"

"It's very simple, depose Nie Xing's throne and welcome the coalition army into Huaiyang. Lin Haotian said it calmly and relaxedly.

Nie Dan's face changed slightly, and he said in a condensed voice: "In General Lin's eyes, this may be a simple matter, but for Zaixia, it is difficult for a strong man. ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "Let's not talk about whether I have the ability to depose my father's throne, it is absolutely impossible for me, as the prince of man, to do such a rebellious and unethical thing. ”

Lin Haotian smiled leisurely and said, "Nie Xing has gone against the grain and openly proclaimed himself emperor. It was spurned by the people of the world. If he does not abdicate the throne, the coalition forces will not withdraw from Youguo, and if the war ends, either Youguo will be destroyed, or all the soldiers of the four-nation coalition will die. Although You Guo is a strong country, Gongzi thinks that You Guo is strong. Can it be stronger than Shikoku?"

Nie Dan's expression was gloomy, and he looked at Lin Haotian and was speechless for a long time.

Lin Haotian said: "With the national strength of the You country, it is simply impossible to consume it with the four countries for a long time, and the war drags on, and it is the You country that will lose in the end." When that happens, your father will die, and many people in the kingdom will die. Is this what Childe wants to see?"

He said this, which is exactly what Nie Dan was concerned about.

The reason why You can be regarded as a strong country is not because of how strong the country is, but because of the strength of the military. Once suppressed by the Four-Nation Alliance for a long time, You Guo may be difficult to maintain, and even collapse, and finally end up in a desperate situation where the country is broken.

He took a deep breath, his face softening. He said meaningfully: "Down there is the Son of Man and a minister. When the king is deceived and the son takes the father's throne, he will not do it. However, the matter of welcoming the coalition army into the capital can be considered in the future, and I will also persuade my father to give up the war. and submitted the ...... to the four countries"

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Haotian shook his head again and again, and said calmly: "With your father's personality, I'm afraid he won't listen to your persuasion! If he has the intention of repenting, he should have stepped down from the throne a long time ago." Accusing the world of his crimes, but until now, he is still stubbornly defending the throne that does not belong to him, and he is still fighting with the coalition forces that came to crusade. Nie Xing has long been hopeless, if you want to save his life, there is only one way, that is, you come to replace him, and only if you become the king of You, can you have the ability to save his life, otherwise, when the coalition forces break through Huaiyang by force, I am afraid that even Gongzi's life will be in danger!"

Nie Dan gasped, lowered his head, and fell into deep thought again.

Lin Haotian really guessed correctly, Nie Xing's character is arrogant and good-looking, Nie Dan didn't persuade him before, but Nie Xing didn't listen to him at all, but scolded him.

Calm down and think about it, persuading my father to give up the throne, proclaim himself to the world, and welcome the coalition army into the capital, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky.

Is there no other way?Nie Dan frowned, bitter in his heart.

Nie Dan is not a person with a strong desire for power, he doesn't care much about the throne of You Guo, and he attaches great importance to filial piety, and now he has people forcibly depose his father's throne and replace him himself, he really can't pass his own level.

Lin Haotian did not ignore the change in Nie Dan's expression, seeing that his expression was cloudy, he knew that he was at the moment of the battle between heaven and man at this time.

He blinked his tiger eyes and said quietly: "The four-nation alliance army, the total number of troops is one million, even if You has the ability to defeat the current million army, with the military strength of the four countries, you can draw another million soldiers and horses from the country at any time, You Guo wants to compete with the four countries with his own strength, it is impossible to succeed, the fall of Huaiyang is a matter of time, and the war drags on for a long time, it will only increase You Guo's own casualties, and it will not change the outcome." Childe is a smart person, the strength of both sides, you should understand it again, stubborn resistance, in the end there is only a dead end, if you want to save Youguo, if you want to save Youren, you can only pull your father off the throne, otherwise, the entire You country will become his martyrdom!"

Nie Dan didn't have any hope for the confrontation between You Guo and the Four Nations Alliance, but now after listening to Lin Haotian's words, his heart was even more cold.

Yes, the four countries of Yan, Jin, Chi, and Xinchi, which country's central army does not exceed one million, if the four countries are ruthless and go all out to crusade against Youguo, even if Youguo's military strength is strong, they can't resist it!

Seeing that his face was becoming more and more solemn, Lin Haotian understood that his threat had worked, and he wanted to force the other party to compromise, but it was not enough to blindly threaten, and he had to throw out quite sweetness.

Lin Haotian said again: "If Gongzi becomes King You, then the result will be different. With the wisdom of the prince, he will never let You Guo and the coalition army fight to the death, as long as You Guo surrenders, and is willing to admit his mistakes and accept punishment to the kings of various countries, the accusation of the coalition army will be completed, and he will naturally not fight with You Guo again, when the time comes, the coalition army will withdraw, You Guo will be saved, with the lenient personality of the Son of Heaven, he will not severely punish Nie Xing, and your father's life can also be saved, this is the best of both worlds!"

Not to mention that Nie Dan was moved by it for a while, even the guards around him were moved, thinking that this was the best way to save You Guo. If it weren't for knowing the inside story in advance, maybe Zhang Bufan, Ling Wuya and others would also think that what Lin Haotian said was true.

Indeed, if you are obsessed and blindly stick to the end, You Guo is indeed in danger. But if you cooperate with the coalition forces at this time, there may be room for maneuver.

Thinking of this, he bit it hard, turned his heart sideways, and stood up suddenly, and said to Lin Haotian: "General Lin's heartfelt words." However, my father is in power, and I firmly control the military power, although I am the crown prince, but the number of troops I can mobilize is very limited, and I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed if I want to depose my father from the throne!"

Lin Haotian pretended to pose in a contemplative posture and thought for a while. said: "This is a trouble, but as long as Gongzi is willing to help the coalition army in secret, the credit will still be Gongzi's, and when the coalition army enters the capital, the throne of You Guo will also belong to Gongzi." ”

The previous words are actually Lin Haotian's foreshadowing. It was only at this time that he got to the real point.

Nie Dan had already been bypassed by him. Following his words, he asked, "I don't know how General Lin wants Zai Xia to help the coalition forces in secret?"

"It's very simple!" Lin Haotian approached Nie Dan, lowered his voice, and said: "Find a way to let your father transfer Li Ning, the main general of Huaning City, and replace it with a general who is not in agreement with the main general of Tongcheng, as long as Gongzi does this, it is equivalent to doing a great favor to the coalition army." ”

"It's as simple as that?" Nie Dan thought that Lin Haotian was talking about how troublesome it was to help each other secretly. I didn't expect it to be just a 'little thing' of changing generals.

Nie Dan is good at literature and not good at martial arts, he is full of economy and can export chapters, but he doesn't know anything about tactics and strategies. He believes that the change of battle will be a trivial matter, but it is practical. That can completely change the balance of strength between the two sides, and even change the entire battle situation.

His rhetorical question made Lin Haotian also stunned, how simple is this? How difficult is this for the coalition army, and even asked him, the king of a country, to personally venture into danger and go deep into Huaiyang, but when it came to Nie Dan's mouth, it became a simple trivial matter.

Lin Haotian shook his head secretly, it seems that the monarch of You Country is not as good as the generation, although Nie Xing is mediocre, he is still a fierce monarch, but in Nie Dan's generation, he doesn't even have the knowledge and fierceness, he is a nerd.

If it is a peaceful and prosperous world, he may still be able to become a master who governs the country and the country, but in the troubled times, Nie Dan is a faint monarch who brings disaster to the country and the people, even if You Guo does not die in Nie Xing's hands, sooner or later he will have to die in his hands.

He sneered in his heart, his face was still serious, and he said, "That's right, that's it, but this matter may not be easy to do......"

Before his words fell, Nie Dan grinned and said: "Although Li Ning is the lieutenant general of my country, he has many political enemies in the DPRK, and it is not difficult to impeach him. ”

When Lin Haotian heard this, he suddenly showed joy and asked again: "In this way, Gongzi is confident that he can do this?"

"It's nature!"

"If that's the case, then Childe will have made a great achievement!" Lin Haotian said with a smile: "Whether this ridiculous battle that shouldn't have happened can end ahead of schedule depends on Childe!"

Lin Haotian's words were also very skillful, weakening the war between the two sides as much as possible, and the purpose was to make Nie Dan feel at ease.

Having decided to accept Lin Haotian's conditions, Nie Dan's heart was also relieved. At this time, the middle-aged guard beside him coughed lowly, suggesting that he still had key issues that had not been confirmed by Lin Haotian.

Nie Dan immediately understood and said to Lin Haotian: "General Lin, I can accept your conditions, but there is one thing that General Lin needs to clearly indicate when the coalition forces will withdraw from Youguo." ”

Lin Haotian didn't think about it, and blurted out: "When Nie Xing abdicates, it is the day when the coalition forces withdraw. ”

"Is this true?" Nie Dan rolled his eyes, and said meaningfully: "Although General Lin is the commander of the first army, he can only be the lord of the Jin country, while the coalition army has four countries, I don't know, do the other three princes also have this intention?"

Lin Haotian looked up and smiled, and said: "Since I can come to Huaiyang to negotiate with Gongzi on behalf of the coalition army, I can naturally be the master of the other three generals, please feel at ease with Gongzi." ”

After receiving his personal confirmation, Nie Dan was completely relieved.

After all, Lin Haotian is a foreign coach, and he is a golden mouth, so it is impossible to do such a bad thing as going back on his word. Of course, this Nie Dan's wishful thinking, in fact, Lin Haotian will not value the integrity of the general.

The negotiation between Nie Dan and Lin Haotian can be described as very happy, extremely smooth, and the matter was quickly finalized.

The time limit proposed by Lin Haotian to Nie Dan is five days, and within five days, no matter what, he must find a way to transfer Nie Xing back to Li Ning, and as for the candidate to replace Li Ning, it is Lieutenant General Xu Fan proposed by Kong Qing.

Xu Fan is also a famous fierce general in Youguo, and Guan Zhan belong to the same high-powered generals, the two are just high-minded and arrogant people, they look down on each other, and there is a gap between them, in Kong Qing's view, it is the best choice to replace Li Ning with Xu Fan.

Lin Haotian was not familiar with the internal contradictions in You Guo, so he naturally respected Kong Qing's opinion.

In extraordinary times, Nie Dan should not stay in the inn for a long time, and after discussing with Lin Haotian, he was ready to get up and say goodbye.

At this time, the atmosphere was already very relaxed, Nie Dan noticed the people around Lin Haotian, and felt that the people who could accompany Lin Haotian to Huaiyang were definitely not ordinary people, and then asked curiously: "General Lin, I don't know who these brothers are ......" (to be continued......
