Volume III, Chapter 622

Not long after Lin Haotian and Song Hao left the palace, Shao Lin and Tong Lei walked in with a group of guards.

Among them, there were three guards each carrying a tray, one tray was a three-foot white silk, one tray was a wine, and the last tray was a short blade.

This is tantamount to letting Shi Huai choose one of the three ways of death of hanging, poisoning, and self-killing, of course, this is also Lin Haotian's greatest favor to Shi Huai, he was not sentenced to beheading, and he was able to save a corpse after death.

Looking at the tray in the hands of the three Jin State guards, Shi Huai laughed wildly as if he was insane, and he looked up to the sky and said, "Retribution! This is the retribution that God gave me!"

Seeing that Shi Huai was just laughing nervously, Shao Lin and Tong Lei glanced at each other, and the two of them laughed out loud and said, "His Royal Highness the Red King, if you don't want to choose, then the last general will help you choose!"

Shi Huai still shouted retribution, as if he hadn't heard Shao Lin and Tong Lei's words at all.

Shao Lin casually grabbed Bai Aya from the tray, held one end by himself, and handed the other end to Tong Lei, and the two of them put Bai Aya to Shi Huai's neck, and then, together, exerted force.

Shao Lin and Tong Lei are both military generals from Shenchi, each with brute strength, they both work together, the strength of which can be imagined, there is a click in the ear chakra, Shi Huai's neck was strangled by Bai Aya, and his head was unnaturally pulled to the side.

Seeing this, the two of them let go, Shi Huai's neck was still wrapped in white silk, and the person had collapsed softly.

Tong Lei stepped forward, first probed Shi Huai's snort, then nodded at Shao Lin, and then turned back to a guard and said, "Go and report to your lordship, the Red King is dead!"

The guard hurriedly answered, took two steps back, turned and ran out quickly.

The young man was ambitious and high-spirited. In the end, he died under the three-foot white silk, and the Red Kingdom, which dominated the north and flourished for a time, was also wiped out with Shi Huai's death, and became history forever.

At that time, the countries led by Chuan You formed the Jin Alliance, sent more than one million troops, and worked together to crusade against the Jin State, at such a critical moment. Among the nations, only the Red Kingdom sided with the Jin Kingdom and helped the Jin Kingdom successfully resist the attack of the Jin Alliance. It can be said that among the nations, the one who has the greatest kindness to the Jin country is the red country, but now, the red country just died at the hands of the Jin country, although there are too many reasons, but it also makes people sigh and sigh.

This time, Lin Haotian really didn't break his promise, waiting for Shi Huai's death. Lin Haotian ordered that Shi Huai be buried with the gift of the king, and that Shi Huai's orphans be properly placed and protected by special personnel, and then he asked people to post a mercy decree in Jiankang, the capital of Chiguo, and all prisoners who were imprisoned in the Chiguo Prison would not be guilty of any serious crimes before. All were pardoned and released, all Red Army soldiers. Regardless of whether or not he was an enemy of the Jin Army on the battlefield before, as long as he sincerely came to vote, he would not be blamed for the past.

After Shi Huai's death, Jin promulgated a series of policies to reassure and benefit the people in order to stabilize people's hearts.

In addition, there was also good news from Wang Han's side. Li Wei, the commander of the Huwei Army, was successfully persuaded by Wang Han to express his willingness to lead all the soldiers of the Huwei Army to defect to the Jin State.

Li Weiken's surrender was somewhat out of desperation, first, the capital was broken. King Chi is dead, and it is difficult for him to resist alone, secondly, his family is in Jiankang, if he refuses to surrender, for fear that his family will suffer, and thirdly, Wang Han can persuade him regardless of his safety, which really touches Li Wei.

For these reasons, Li Wei was forced to choose to surrender.

Knowing that Li Wei led the army to surrender, Lin Haotian was very happy and personally went out to Jiankang to greet him, the Huwei Army is a tiger and wolf army that is difficult to buy, and the Huwei Army can join the Jin Army, which will undoubtedly make the Jin Army like a tiger.

After meeting, Li Wei dismounted and knelt on the ground and greeted Lin Haotian as a criminal minister.

Lin Haotian didn't care about his previous suspicions, helped Li Wei up, and praised him vigorously when You Yan was fighting Jin, Li Wei had led the Huwei army to help the Jin State, and helped the Jin State cut off the logistics of You Yan's Second Army, and made great contributions to the Jin State.

Jin Chi and Chi had too many things to do before, so there were many topics that could resonate with each other, and they would not seem strange at all.

After accepting Li Wei, Lin Haotian canonized him as a lieutenant general and continued to take charge of the Huwei army, but he installed two more lieutenant generals for him, the young generals selected by the military order, Hu Xia and Dong Zhu.

At this point, the Huwei Army was officially included in the Jin Army, and if it was calculated according to the establishment of the Jin Army, it was the eighth legion of the Jin Army and the second cavalry corps.

The Red State is not a poor country, the economy is developed, the strength is strong, and its national strength is even higher than that of the Jin State, the Jin Army and the New Red Alliance Army captured Jiankang and received the treasury of the Red State, in which a large amount of gold and silver was hoarded. Lin Haotian would never be stingy when he should be generous, and he didn't need Song Hao to mention it to him, he took the initiative to take out the money in the treasury of the Red Kingdom and share it equally with the new Red Kingdom.

After all, in the battle to destroy the Red Army, the Jin Army was the main force, although the New Red Army dispatched a lot of soldiers and horses, but they did not fight any hard battles, and the casualties were extremely limited, on the other hand, on the Jin Army's side, the 400,000 Iron Lion Army has only 200,000 left, and the First Legion, the Fourth Legion, the Seventh Legion and other legions have also suffered a lot of damage.

Song Haoyou excused himself to Lin Haotian that he didn't need to share so much money with the New Red Kingdom, but Lin Haotian insisted on refusing, since the Red Capital Jiankang was jointly defeated by Jin and New Chi, then all the spoils should be divided equally between the two countries.

Lin Haotian was so generous, which naturally made the new Red Army general have a good impression of him and praised him.

Shortly thereafter, news suddenly came from the Jiankang camp that Gao Tong, the commander of the former Jiankang Water Division, and Gong Wendao, the commander of the former East China Sea Division, led the two armies to surrender.

Hearing the news that Qualcomm took the initiative to surrender, the generals were very surprised, and before others could make a statement to Lin Haotian, Sun Bing and Xu Yan immediately told Lin Haotian that they must not accept Qualcomm's surrender.

Qualcomm has a deep blood feud with his own side, and the annihilation of his own 100,000 naval army was caused by Qualcomm.

For Qualcomm, they are jealous and afraid, not to mention, with Qualcomm's ability, if they are really accepted by the Jin State, they are afraid that they will not be able to keep their position as the chief of the naval army.

This time the battle of Jiankang. Although the navy army commanded by Sun Bing and Xu Yan was beaten by others and almost killed both of them, Lin Haotian did not blame the two, but also rewarded the two of them and gave them the title of lieutenant general respectively.

The reason is simple, the battle is lost. But there was no shame in losing, and the momentum of the Jin army would rather be broken than complete, and the most critical point was that they successfully attracted the Jiankang Navy led by Qualcomm, paving the way for the smooth smuggling of the First Army and the Jin Army. It can be said that the Jin army was able to defeat the capital of Chiguo in one go, and the merits of Sun Bing and Xu Yan were among the best, even if they were not ranked first.

Lin Haotian still attaches great importance to the opinions of the two of them, but. If he refuses Qualcomm's surrender, it is too much of a pity in Lin Haotian's opinion. He pondered for a long time, and finally decided to meet Qualcomm, and then decide whether to kill or stay after meeting.

Lin Haotian's will was passed to the Jiankang camp, and then the commander of the Jiankang camp conveyed Lin Haotian's will to this group of remnants of the Red Kingdom.

Looking at Lin Haotian's will, there is no clear statement that he wants to accept the surrender of Qualcomm and others, as long as Qualcomm goes to Jiankang to take the blame. Gong Wendao, who was once the commander of the East China Sea Army under him, persuaded worriedly: "General, judging from the last general. General Lin is going to kill the general, the general must not be a general, and he must not go to Jiankang!"

Qualcomm smiled bitterly, although now the Jiankang Navy Division and the East China Sea Division have been united, there are more than 100,000 people under the whole army, and there are nearly 1,000 large and small warships. However, all the counties and counties of the Red Kingdom have fallen into the hands of the Jin State, and his own side has become a lonely army, and more than 100,000 brothers have to eat and drink every day, but where does the grain and grass come from? Where does the military pay come from? Without land as support, what can this huge naval army under his command rely on to feed? He sighed. said: "If you can exchange my life for the lives of the whole army, it will be worth it!"

"General......" Gong Wendao was in a hurry, and said in a trembling voice: "Jin people hate the general to the bone, and the general's trip will inevitably be more auspicious and less auspicious, absolutely not!"

Qualcomm waved his hand and said: "If I really have no intention of going to Jiankang on this trip, and Jin Guo has no intention of receiving our army, Wen Dao, you let those brothers who want to go home and live a stable life go, if there are brothers who don't want to go, you ...... You can take them away and fly high, there are many island countries east of the East China Sea, although pirates are rampant, but I think with your ability, you will definitely be able to take your brothers to lay down a piece of the world. ”

Hearing this, Gong Wendao burst into tears on the spot, choked up and grabbed Qualcomm's sleeve, and said while wiping his tears: "Why doesn't the general take us away? As long as the general is there, the hearts of the soldiers will not be scattered, and no matter where we go, we will not insult the prestige of our Great Chishui Division!"

Qualcomm shook his head and said: "Leaving my hometown is not what I want, nor what my brothers want, that is really no way in the end, but where there is still a glimmer of hope, I should try hard, so that the soldiers can stay in their homeland and reunite with their families, so I have to go on this trip to Jiankang!"

He said everything to this, Gong Wendao couldn't persuade him anymore, and the latter said: "If the general insists on going, let the last general accompany the general to go!"

"No!" Qualcomm refused simply, and said with a straight face: "There must be someone in charge in the army, I will go alone, even if there is an accident, there are still you, if you and I go together, in case we die in Jiankang together, won't the more than 100,000 brothers become fish and meat to be slaughtered?"

The truth is this truth, but Gong Wendao couldn't bear to watch Qualcomm sheep fall into the tiger's mouth.

Qualcomm finally did not accept Gong Wendao's dissuasion, took a small boat, took only one rowing sailor, left his own naval camp, and went to the Jiankang camp, which had long been occupied by the Jin army.

The commander of the Jiankang camp really didn't expect Qualcomm to obey the will of the adults and come alone.

After Gao Tong arrived, the chief general of the Jin army was a little unprepared and at a loss, not knowing whether to tie him up and escort him to Jiankang for questioning, or whether he should invite him to Jiankang as a guest courtesy.

After thinking about it, since people took the initiative to come, don't be too stingy, and the Jin army will send a large number of people to 'escort' Qualcomm to Jiankang.

Jiankang camp to Jiankang City is very close, the distance between is more than an hour, soon, Qualcomm by a large number of Jin soldiers 'escort' to Jiankang City, and until the main gate of the palace.

Gao Tong, who was sitting in the carriage, lifted the curtains, looked out, and saw the majestic royal palace standing in front of him, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

Not long ago, it was the royal palace of the Red Kingdom, and it has been for thousands of years, but only a few days later, the Red Kingdom died. The palace also fell into the hands of the Jin army, and looking at the surroundings of the palace, the guards standing guard were all black helmets, black armor, and red heads, all of whom were golden.

Alas, I miss my big red, and it is very prosperous, who would have thought that. Thinking of this, Qualcomm slowly lowered the curtain of the car, fell backwards, leaned against the wall of the car, and sighed to the sky.

The palace guards transmitted the news to the palace and reported it to Lin Haotian, who heard it and did not raise his head in response. Then there was no follow-up.

Lin Haotian looked at the mountains of music with a serious face, and all the soldiers below were a little anxious, now that Qualcomm has arrived, whether to kill or kill, adults have to say something!

Thinking that Lin Haotian didn't hear the guard's report clearly, Sun Bing and Xu Yan glanced at each other, and both of them came out of the queue and bowed to Lin Haotian. He reminded in a low voice: "My lord, Qualcomm has been brought." It's right outside the palace gates!"

"En!" Lin Haotian's gaze still fell on Song Shu, and his eyelids didn't lift for a moment, but he still responded ambiguously and casually.

"That'...... Do you see it?" asked Sun Bing impatiently.

Lin Haotian finally put down the song in his hand, looked at Sun Bing with a smile, and said, "It seems that General Sun seems to be more anxious than Ben Shuai!"

Sun Bing was startled. Hurriedly lowered his head and whispered, "The last general will not dare." ”

"Since Qualcomm came alone, it means that he does have the intention of defecting......" Lin Haotian muttered, then picked up the tea again and took a sip slowly. He continued: "However, I heard that this man is very arrogant, so let him wait outside and polish his arrogance!"

Sun Bing and Xu Yan grinned secretly, it seems that the adults are going to subdue Qualcomm, if they want to kill him, they don't have to work so hard, just pull it and cut off their heads.

Sun Bing still wanted to speak, but at this time, Xu Yan glanced at him and signaled him not to say more, which annoyed the adults and outweighed the losses. Sun Bing understood what Xu Yan meant, shook his head helplessly, bowed to Lin Haotian again, and then retreated to this column with Xu Yan.

Let's say that outside the palace, the soldiers of the Jiankang camp sent Qualcomm to the palace to complete the task, and after handing over to the palace guards, they left Qualcomm and returned to the Jiankang camp.

The Jin army of the Jiankang camp left, but the guards didn't bring Qualcomm into the palace, and they didn't even have anyone to take care of him, so they left him out alone.

It's the height of summer, the weather is hot, and Qualcomm is standing alone in the sun, and after only a while, he is sweating.

He couldn't understand in his heart, what did Jin Jun mean by this, that is, he didn't kill himself, and he didn't take himself to see the commander of Jin Jun, so he ignored it and treated him as if he didn't exist. But after thinking about it, it became clear in my heart that this was definitely not the meaning of the Jin Army, but the meaning of the commander of the Jin Army.

Qualcomm smiled bitterly, he has become a general of the country, where can he still have sharp spirit? On this trip, as long as he can ensure that the lives of the officers and men of the whole army are worry-free, he will have no regrets in his death. Thinking of this, he calmed down instead, stood under the scorching sun, closed his eyes, and did not move.

Looking at the beads of sweat dripping down Qualcomm's cheeks from time to time, the Jin Army guards on the opposite side also secretly admired in their hearts, just saying that his concentration was absolutely extraordinary.

Qualcomm stood outside the gate of the palace for nearly an hour, and only then did a high-pitched chant come out of the palace: "Pass the order of the lord, summon Qualcomm into the palace-"

Hearing that the adult's order finally came out, even the Jin army guards sighed for Qualcomm, and it was estimated that if he waited any longer, Qualcomm would have to be burned alive and collapsed. Two guards walked forward quickly, arched their hands and said, "General Gao, my lord, please!" Qualcomm's patience and determination are admirable, and the Jin Army guards are also polite to him, and their words are full of admiration.

Gao Tong swallowed his saliva, moistened his dry throat, and said to the guards: "There are two people leading the way." ”

"General Gao is polite, please inside!" As he spoke, the two guards turned their bodies to one side and let Gao Tong go first.

Gao Tong was brought into the main hall of the palace by the guards - his current identity is the general of the surrender army and the general of the dead country, in front of Lin Haotian and the generals of the Jin army, he can't be hard if he wants to.

After entering the main hall, he arched his hands, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said, "General Gaotong, meet General Lin!"

Lin Hao looked at him all over the world, it turned out that this person was Qualcomm, he didn't look very old, he was not over thirty, he was also handsome, with dark skin, an angular face, thick eyebrows, and a heroic spirit, but it was this person who caused his 100,000 water army to be wiped out, and he was really unseemly.

After watching it, Lin Haotian also sighed secretly in his heart, there are many talents in the Red Country, but it is a pity that Shi Huai is incompetent and does not know how to use people, which caused such a solid foundation of the Red Kingdom to collapse in an instant. He waved his hand and said, "You get up!"

"Thank you, General Lin!" Qualcomm kowtowed again, and then stood up.

As soon as he got up, Lin Haotian said: "Qualcomm, do you know that my Jin people hate you to the core, and before Ben Shuai saw you, too many generals proposed to Ben Shuai to put you to death!"

When Gao Tong heard this, his face was not afraid, and he said: "Returning to General Lin, the two countries are at war, your lords, who wins and who loses, each depends on his ability, death and injury are inevitable, and now he is sincerely going to vote, if General Lin insists on being executed in Xia, there is nothing to say in Xia, but it is not what the Ming Lord did!"

"Oh?" Lin Haotian was happy, and asked with a smile: "Then tell me, what should be done by the Ming Lord!"

"Far from the villain, the pro-gentleman, regardless of the past suspicions, reuse the virtuous people, this is the work of the master!" Qualcomm replied.

Lin Haotian was stunned and couldn't help but laugh on his back.

is a Qualcomm, in one sentence, Sun Bing and Xu Yan are included in the ranks of villains. (To be continued......)
