Chapter 546: Going their Own Way

Yang Li's heart moved, and she suddenly remembered that Yang Jie had told her before that if there was important information to be reported, and he happened to be absent, he could put the information in the bird's nest on the old tree in the courtyard.

Thinking of this, she subconsciously raised her head, the bird's nest in the tree was still there, and Jin Jun had searched everything away, but ignored it.

Zhang Li reported the psychology of trying, came to the tree, used both hands and feet, climbed to the tree in three or two, she hugged the branch with one hand, reached into the bird's nest with the other hand, touched it twice, her fingertips suddenly touched the hard object, she was shocked, hurriedly took out the hard object, took a closer look, it turned out to be a bamboo tube.

With a look of surprise on her face, she slid down the trunk of the tree and fell to the ground, quickly pulled out the lid of the bamboo tube, poured a roll of letter paper from inside, and unfolded the letter with trembling hands, it was Yang Jie's handwritten letter, and this letter was written to her.

Yang Jie mentioned in the letter that if Zhang Li can find this letter, it means that he is dead, and he believes that with Zhang Li's intelligence, he will also find this letter.

He received Zhang Li's flying pigeon message, and he did think about escaping from refuge, but after thinking about it, even if he could successfully escape, it would be difficult to avenge the country and family hatred throughout his life, and it would involve Zhang Li.

Since you can't take revenge, it's better to create a person who can take revenge at the expense of yourself, and that person is Zhang Li.

Lin Haotian is naturally suspicious, Zhang Li is his subordinate, and he will definitely not be trusted by Lin Haotian, and Lin Haotian can tell Zhang Li the news that he is going to kill him, which is also a temptation for her, so he thought of planning and exchanging his death for Lin Haotian's trust in Zhang Li. Zhang Li is Lin Haotian's side, and if he gets Lin Haotian's trust again, then revenge will become easy.

It can be said that the four countries that jointly crusaded against You Guo are all enemies, and he hopes that Zhang Li will see the opportunity to act in the future, at least. also want to get rid of Lin Haotian, a despicable villain.

That's what Yang Jie's letter is all about.

After Zhang Li saw it, it suddenly dawned on her that no one had destroyed her flying pigeon biography at all, and the reason why Brother Yang died was completely voluntary, and he wanted to use his own death. in exchange for her chance to take revenge.

"Tick, tick!"

Drops of tears fell on the letterhead, Zhang Li read the letter, and before she knew it, tears were raining down. How much sadness and anger, and how much hatred and resentment it must be to force such a resilient person to die willingly.

I don't know how long it took for Zhang Li to come back to her senses in grief, and then she realized that the letter in her hand was completely soaked with her own tears.

She took out the fire fold. I didn't light the letter after ordering it several times, and finally I simply made a ball, stuffed it directly into my mouth, and swallowed it in my stomach.

When Zhang Li returned to Jinying, it was as if she had changed to a different person, and she returned to her previous amorous, charming and amorous appearance, with a seemingly frivolous smile on her beautiful face, but her eyes revealed a cold feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away.

From this time on. She wrapped Lin Haotian tighter and was by his side almost all the time.

Although Lin Haotian felt that Zhang Li was too clingy. But it's not annoying, mainly through Yang Jie's affairs, he has developed a sense of trust in her, and Lin Haotian has always been very tolerant and tolerant of the people he trusts. Or even connivance.

The next day, the armies of Jin and Xinchi prepared to set off, evacuate Youguo, and return to their homeland. And the Yan and Red armies cannot be evacuated for the time being, and then. Ren Tianxing and Xuanyuan Fang also had to discuss how to divide the territory of You Guo.

Before evacuating, Lin Haotian specially recruited all the generals in the You army.

There are 500,000 You troops now under house arrest in the coalition camp, of which 200,000 are the You troops who had defected to the coalition forces before, and the other 300,000 are Huaiyang defenders.

The army of 500,000 has more than 50 corps commanders alone, plus those generals, lieutenant generals, and miscellaneous generals, the total number is more than 100.

Lin Haotian summoned these generals to his camp, there was no extra nonsense, he said straight to the point: "Now that You Guo is dead, Huaiyang has been destroyed by the New Red Army, and it has become a ruin, I don't know where the generals plan to go in the future?"

The generals looked at each other, but no one answered.

There was silence in the tent, so silent that many of the generals hung their heads and wept silently.

Lin Haotian looked around at everyone, sighed softly, and said quietly: "The two kingdoms of Yan and Chi have made a decision to divide the territory of You Country equally, and in the future, the world will no longer be You people, You people will either become Yan people or Red people." ”

When the generals heard this, many people subconsciously clenched their fists, clenched their teeth, and shot a fierce light of hatred in their eyes.

Lin Haotian pretended not to see it, and continued: "Originally, the two princes of Yan and Chi were very worried that the ranking generals would have the idea of recovering the country, which would cause trouble for the two countries to govern Youdi in the future, so they planned to execute all the ranking generals......

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone present changed, and people instinctively raised their hands one after another and touched the saber at their waists, but when they touched the empty waist, people suddenly remembered that their weapons had already been taken away by the coalition forces.

You General You was sad and angry, his hair was all open, and he shouted at Lin Haotian: "General Lin will kill if he wants to kill, I, as a general who has died in the country, I don't want to steal my life anymore!"

"That's right, General Lin will have a good time!"

The generals were filled with righteous indignation, and the crowd was indignant, and they all rushed towards Lin Haotian.

The faces of the demonic warriors standing around him sank, and they drew their swords in unison, threatening to poison the generals present.

At this time, Lin Haotian waved his hand, signaling the demon martial artist not to move, and then, he stood up, not only did not retreat, but walked towards the generals.

Seeing Lin Haotian walking towards him, You Jiang subconsciously separated to the left and right, and he walked until he walked to the middle of the crowd, then stopped his steps and stood still.

He said: "In order to facilitate the rule of Youdi, the two kingdoms of Yan and Chi want to be placed in the place of death, but Ben Shuai really can't bear it. This marshal hereby sincerely invites all the generals to go to the Jin country with the marshal, and the marshal can guarantee that not only will not kill you, but will continue to let you be generals in the army. Ben Shuai Zhi said, many of you don't want to leave Youdi, don't want to leave your hometown, but staying is either a dead end. Either they have to obey the control of the Yan and Chi countries, become a subordinate of the people, and for the rest of their lives, there is no hope of recovering the country and taking revenge. But if you go to the Jin Kingdom with Ben Shuai, it will be different, the sword of my Jin Kingdom. Sooner or later, it will be cut on the heads of the nations, and the generals will choose for themselves!"

His words were half-truths. In fact, Yan and Chi have not yet decided how to deal with these You Army, but with their concerns about You Army, it is not impossible to execute them all, Lin Haotian's words have the meaning of intimidation, but his intimidation is not without purpose.

The generals looked at each other and frowned one by one. They were silent, but quite a few of them were moved by Lin Haotian's words.

It can be said that the Four-Nation Coalition Army is the executioner who led to the demise of You Guo, but among the Four-Nation Alliance, the Jin Army is relatively soft towards You State, taking Huaiyang as an example, the Jin Army not only did not kill innocent people indiscriminately, but also did its best to protect the people in the outer city from harm, compared with what the New Red Army did. Jin Jun's performance can be described as benevolent.

Seeing that no one responded to him, no one stood up to oppose him. Lin Haotian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as the generals did not have strong resistance, then there was room for maneuver. His eyes crooked, he smiled, and said, "Of course, there will be many battles in the future of the Jin Kingdom. will even be the enemy of all the principalities, and taking refuge in the Jin country is equivalent to putting half of your legs into the ghost gate, if the generals are afraid and dare not go to the Jin country. Ben Shuai can also understand, and will never force you!"

His words are not only the method of agitating generals, but also give a step to those generals who want to go to the Jin Kingdom but dare not express their position. As soon as he finished speaking, several generals immediately said loudly: "General Lin, how can we be afraid of death when we wait to fight on the battlefield all year round?"

"General Lin can kill us, but don't humiliate us!"

Just when people were expressing their dissatisfaction with what they said, Chu Chen, the general of You Guo, who was mixed with the generals, said with a wry smile: "Among our generals, many of them have the blood of the Jin people on their hands, and General Lin invited us to join the Jin Kingdom and ...... in the future. I'm afraid it's hard to be kind to me!"

As soon as Chu Chen spoke, the generals all shut up, and looked at Lin Haotian with their eyes.

In the eyes of everyone, Lin Haotian may be able to tolerate other generals, but for Chu Chen, Lin Haotian may not be able to tolerate him no matter what.

At the beginning, the Yanyou coalition army crusaded against the Jin country, Chu Chen was the commander of the You army, it was he who came up with the idea of using plague tactics to break through the Shuangfeng City of the Jin country, resulting in the death of tens of thousands of defenders of the Shuangfeng City...... Chu Chen is the sworn enemy of the Jin State, and there are countless Jin people who have died in his hands, how can Lin Haotian, the commander of the Jin Army, tolerate him?

Seeing that the person who spoke was Chu Chen, Lin Haotian also secretly frowned. He hated Chu Chen to the core, if it weren't for Chu Chen's high reputation among the You Army, if it weren't for Lin Haotian wanting to establish a kind image of the Jin Army, I'm afraid he would have been killed a long time ago, how would he have tolerated him to live until now.

At this time, he needed to make a choice, either give up his hatred and stay with Chu Chen, or kill Chu Chen regardless of his blood debts. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Chu Chen for a long time.

As if it was as long as a century, the corners of his mouth suddenly provoked, and he snorted with joy, and said: "In the past, the battles between Jin You were all due to different positions, and each was just its own master. If General Chu Chen really takes refuge in my Jin country, not only will this commander not kill you, but he will also make you the general of the Jin country and the commander of the first army of the Jin army!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present gasped, including many golden generals.

Chu Chen was even more moved, he almost wondered if he had heard it wrong, he looked at Lin Haotian in disbelief, and asked, "Lin ...... Is General Lin serious?"

Lin Haotian's face was straight, and he said: "Although General Chu Chen hurt me a lot, Ben Shuai also has to admit that General Chu Chen is a rare handsome talent, although Ben Shuai hates you, but he also values you, if you really take refuge, Ben Shuai will definitely be used for you again!"

He didn't say anything false to reassure him, but he meant it from the bottom of his heart. The characteristic of Chu Chen's army is to achieve the goal, unscrupulous means, as long as he can win, he can ignore the eyes of the world, and even abandon morality, morality and even human nature, if it is an enemy, Lin Haotian will hate him and fear him, but if it is his own person, Lin Haotian will also like and appreciate him.

Lin Haotian's statement made Chu Chen's mind difficult to calm down for a long time, his face was red for a while, white for a while, and uncertain. It didn't take long for him to come back from his shock and look up. met Lin Haotian's gaze, and then, he lifted his robe, knelt on one knee, and said in a trembling voice: "The last general, Chu Chen, is willing to serve General Lin." In the future, if there are two hearts, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, and there will be no place to die!"

Chu Chen's statement was too shocking for the generals. He is one of the highest-ranking and most prestigious commanders among the generals, and his defection has also directly affected a considerable number of generals.

As Chu Chen expressed his allegiance to Lin Haotian, the surrounding generals knelt down in an uproar and said in unison: "The last general is willing to defect to the Jin Kingdom and serve General Lin as a dog and horse!"

Lin Haotian saw this. He couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart, and being able to subdue so many generals at once was far beyond his expectations.

He hurriedly stepped forward, came to Chu Chen's approach, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said with a straight face: "In the future, General Chu Chen will be Ben Shuai's fellow brother, and Ben Shuai will be in one day." There will be the wealth and glory of your Nie clan!"

If in the past, Chu Chen had a deep hatred for the blood of the Jin country. Lin Haotian will definitely get rid of it, but now his personality has changed a lot, more and more downplaying personal happiness and hatred, everything is based on interests, and he will do what he can do to maximize his own interests.

Most of them will choose to take refuge in Jinguo. But there are still some of you who choose to stay in youdi.

They made it clear to Lin Haotian that they would fight to the death against the Yan and Chi countries in Youdi, even if they died, they would not hesitate to do so, they were born to be Youren. Death is also a ghost.

Lin Haotian still admired these You people who wanted to stay in Youdi to resist the Yan and Chi Kingdoms, and did not force them to defect to the Jin Kingdom, nor did he kill them, but gave them a lot of gold and silver and quietly let them go.

In doing so, it can actually be said that he deliberately created trouble for the Yan and Chi countries, so that even if they occupied Youdi, they would not be at peace.

########

Huaiyang was destroyed by the coalition army, and the Nie royal family in the capital, as well as the civil ministers and generals of the Manchu Dynasty, were all spared, and all of them became the swords of the coalition army.

The monarch died, the court collapsed, and the dragons of the country of You were leaderless, and in fact they existed in name only.

At this time, the kings of various countries wasted no time in coming forward and issued an edict, first jointly commending the achievements of the four-nation alliance, and then announcing that they would abolish the fiefdom of Youguo, divide all their territories into two parts, and hand them over to the management of the Yan and Chi kingdoms.

With the issuance of this edict, the state of You no longer existed in name.

At this point, in the territory of the Underworld Continent, the You Country, which dominated the southwest, was known for its ferocity and fierceness, and had made countless people frightened, was completely removed, and under the strong pressure and blow of the army of the four countries, the arrogant You Country only lasted for a few months.

The demise of You Guo is certainly related to the national strength of foreign power, and Nie Xing's arrogance is also an important factor.

He thinks he is right, with the strength of his own army, he thinks that he can ascend to the Ninety-Five, who would have thought, the gun shot the first bird, he caused the public indignation of the countries for a while, the military is strong and the national strength is weak, and Nie Xing's actions made him lose the hearts of the people in the country, so that the people rebelled and left, resulting in the rapid collapse of the country, and he himself was hanged alive.

In the battle to destroy You, the most direct beneficiaries were undoubtedly the Yan and Chi Kingdoms, after all, the huge You Kingdom was divided equally by the two countries, and the territory of the two countries increased by several counties at once.

However, it is the two countries that suffer the most directly.

The Yudi occupied by the four countries was actually a bottomless pit, which not only made it difficult for the two countries to make profits, but also required a lot of human and financial resources.

The rebellion of the people is one of the headaches, and the military invasion of the western powers is a lingering nightmare.

The harassment and invasion of the western Fan States was originally only a problem faced by the You State, and the You State has always dealt with it very well.

But now that the country of You has perished, the country of You has been divided into two, becoming the country of Yan and the country of Chi, and the western state has begun to move again, constantly harassing and invading.

In order to maintain the territorial integrity and face of the empire, the two countries that carved up the You State could only keep sending troops and money to guard the border of Youdi, among which the Yan State, which dominated the overall situation in Youdi, invested the most.

In the next few years, You Di became a black hole that devoured the national strength of the Yan State, and the decline of the Yan State began precisely from the victory of the Annihilation of You. Of course, this was also something that Ren Tianxing and Yan Wang Yin Ji did not expect.

The two countries of Jin and Xinchi, who seemed to have no profit in the war of extermination, became the real beneficiaries.

The two countries of Jin and Xinchi not only plundered a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, but also migrated back a large number of Youyou people from Youguo.

The number of You people who have migrated to the new Red Country has exceeded two million, and the number of people who have moved to the Jin Country is even larger, although there is no clear record, but it is estimated that it is at least three or four times that of the New Red Country, and later, there are still a large number of You people who continue to go north to find relatives and defect, and migrate to the two countries of Jin and the New Red Country, which makes the population of the two countries get a big boost in a short period of time, especially the Jin State, which will wipe out the disadvantage of the serious shortage of young and strong population, and the huge military strength and strong military strength of the Jin State can be maintained.

The annexation of the five counties of Chibei did not make the Jin country stronger, but intensified the consumption of the national strength of the Jin country, but the battle to destroy you contributed to another qualitative change in the national strength of the Jin country.

In the era of cold weapons, the size of the population was also an important criterion for measuring the strength and weakness of a country.

At this point, the months-long war finally ended, the four-nation alliance was automatically dissolved, the coalition forces were disbanded on the spot, and each country returned to each country, and the battle to destroy you ended in a complete victory. (To be continued......)
