Chapter 541: There is no good feast
These three big tents, the size is about the same as the Chinese military tent, there are heavy guards around, and there are also demon warriors interspersed among them, patrolling around constantly, just look at this momentum, you don't need to enter the tent to check can also know that this is the most important place.
Lin Haotian raised his head to the demon martial artists guarding the tent, and the two demon martial artists guarding the tent door immediately opened the tent curtain, Lin Haotian strode in, and the generals also followed.
Walking into the tent, everyone raised their eyes and looked, well, in the huge tent, there were all wooden boxes stacked with mouthfuls.
I saw Lin Haotian casually open the lid of a box, the golden light inside flashed, dazzling eyes, inside, there were grains of golden sand, he grabbed a handful, let the golden sand flow in the palm of his hand, and at the same time smiled at the generals: "See, this is the spoils we seized from King You's palace, and the three major camp tents are fully loaded, isn't it enough? As for the gold and silver that the New Red Army is looting now is just a small amount of money, just let them go, we don't need to compete for everything and fall out with them." ”
The gold, silver, and jewels seized by the Jin army from the palace of King You were not transported all at once, but in batches and in batches, which lasted three nights. As for the exact number, the generals did not know, and it was only now that everyone knew that there were so many treasures that they had stolen from the palace.
Zhang Bufan involuntarily walked to Lin Haotian's side, squinted his eyes and looked at the box full of golden sand, stunned for a while, he reacted, and deliberately lifted the box hard, with his strength, he couldn't move a corner of the box, which shows its heaviness.
While he was secretly surprised, he still muttered unconvinced: "Who would be afraid of a lot of money! My lord, now there is not even a formal mansion, if the soldiers of my army are in the city now, I will just loot the family wealth of Nie Xingyu's party." It's enough to scavenge a royal palace and bring it back home!"
Lin Haotian patted Zhang Bufan on the shoulder and said, "The main reason why I let the soldiers be stationed outside the city is that I don't want everyone to wade into this muddy water. Don't look at the new Red Army now only targeting Nie Xing's remaining party, but it won't be long before Nie Xing's remaining party will be copied out, and when the time comes. Will they let go of the other powerful and wealthy people in the city? As soon as the plundering breaks out, the situation in the city will get out of control, and with the hatred of the new Chiguo towards Youguo, it is also possible to bloody Huaiyang at that time, this infamy, we don't need to carry it for the new Chiguo, just let them toss it themselves, we just sit outside the city and watch the play!"
It turns out that this is what the adults meant! The generals finally figured out Lin Haotian's intentions now, and Ding Feng's eyes rolled. He grinned and said: "Once the massacre occurs, the You people will only resent the New Red Army, and will not blame the head of my Jin country, and will even take the initiative to ask us for shelter. You can sit back and enjoy it!"
After hearing this, Lin Haotian smiled indifferently. said: "Let you say everything, and you will be in charge of everything in the future." ”
If it were someone else, he would definitely be scared into a cold sweat by his words, Ding Feng was not afraid, he also knew Lin Haotian's temper very well, and praised with a smile: "If it weren't for the adult's reminder." How could he have thought of this with the stupidity of the last general?!"
Lin Haotian looked up and smiled, shook his head, then looked around at everyone and said, "My thoughts." Ding Feng has made it very clear, everyone should go back, keep to their duties, and don't act rashly. ”
"Yes! The last general obeys!" Ding Feng took the lead in intervening to give the salute.
The generals were about to leave, but Lin Haotian suddenly remembered something again, and said, "The group of You troops who defected to us before, we can't let them stay in the city anymore!"
"The last general!"
"You send someone to send a message to Song Hao, asking him to transfer the defective You army back to the camp as soon as possible, and then our army will take over with full authority. In addition, Kong Qing can't stay any longer, think of a way to get rid of this person, but he must keep it secret and not leak the news. ”
The highest-ranking general of the group of You troops who defected to the coalition army is now Lieutenant General Kong Qing. He once helped Lin Haotian smoothly infiltrate Huaiyang, and it was Yang Jie who he introduced to Lin Haotian, and through Yang Jie Lin Haotian met Zhang Li again, so as to master the way to sneak into King You's palace secretly. It can be said that Kong Qing has great kindness to Lin Haotian, but from beginning to end, Lin Haotian did not treat him as his own. Now that Huaiyang has been broken, Kong Qing has no use value, and the most important thing is that he is very loyal to You Guo, how can Lin Haotian tolerate his existence?
Kill Kong Qing, Jin Cheng is quite unbearable, for such a long time, Kong Qing has been fighting side by side with his side, born and died, but the adult personally ordered, he didn't dare to disobey, hesitated for a moment, and finally gave up: "The last general obeys!"
According to Lin Haotian's intentions, Jin Cheng sent his generals into the city to meet Song Hao and convey Lin Haotian's meaning to him.
Song Hao also felt that it was too much of an obstacle for so many You troops to stay in the city, and now Lin Haotian proposed to send You Jun back to the camp, he pushed the boat down the river and immediately agreed, and then transferred all the 200,000 You troops who had defected to the coalition army back to the joint camp outside the city.
Chen Bo is not in the army if he is 'seriously injured', and Kong Qing is now the chief general of the You army. When he led the army back to the camp, he happened to meet Jin Cheng, who came to greet him, and the two walked side by side, chatting as they walked, and entered the camp.
On the way, Kong Qing asked Jin Cheng curiously, why did Duke Lie transfer You Jun back to the camp?
Jin Cheng smiled slightly and said, "The situation in the city is chaotic and thankless. My family is wise, he quit Huaiyang early and returned to the camp to recuperate, does General Kong Qing still like to stay in the city?"
Kong Qing sighed secretly, although there is no chaos in Huaiyang City, there are a lot of troubles, running around all day long, working hard. In fact, he did not want to be stationed in the city, but he was worried that with the You army in the city, the new Red Army might still be somewhat restrained and would not dare to do whatever it wanted, but once the You army withdrew from Huaiyang, would the coalition army still dare not embarrass the people in the city as it did now? He really didn't know the bottom of his heart.
He looked left and right, then approached Jin Cheng and asked in a low voice, "General Jin Cheng should be very well-informed...... King Song suddenly transferred the You army out of the city, did he want to have some plot in the city?"
He has a good relationship with Jin Cheng, and he also admires Jin Cheng very much, so he dares to make some things clear in front of Jin Cheng and asks directly.
Jin Cheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled. said: "What will you plot? I think General Kong is too careful. His Royal Highness the King of Song sent the You army back to the camp, firstly, there were many garrisons in the city, which was also inconvenient to the people, and secondly, there were many Nie Xing's henchmen imprisoned in the camp now, and they were in great need of manpower. It is also fitting that you especially someone should take care of it. ”
"I see!" Listening to what Jin Cheng said, Kong Qing did not doubt it, nodded understandingly, and smiled at Jin Cheng: "It seems that the last general is indeed too careful." ”
Kong Qing followed Jin Cheng into the tent of the Fifth Legion.
After all, this is the land of the Jin Army, Kong Qing did not bring too many followers, and only four personal guards by his side.
After the guests and hosts were seated in the handsome tent, Jin Cheng asked people to serve wine and food. After a short time, a sumptuous banquet had been set up in the tent, and even Kong Qing's guards had placed a small table in front of each of them, with wine and food on it, and there was no shortage of everything.
The capital was captured by the coalition forces, and the country was in chaos, and for several days, Kong Qing had little appetite. I am not interested in the sumptuous food in front of me.
Seeing this, Jin Cheng's mind turned. With a long sigh, he pretended to sigh and said, "This time, it may be the last time I have drunk with General Kong. ”
Hearing this, Kong Qing was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What did the general say this?"
"Your Excellency has ordered," Jin Cheng poured himself a drink. said: "In two days, my Fifth Army will withdraw to the Jin country, and in the future, I don't know if there will be a chance to meet General Kong again......
Why didn't he hear the sound of Jin at all? Kong Qing was surprised and happy in his heart, if the Jin army wanted to withdraw his troops. Then the coalition forces of the other three countries are estimated to be withdrawn to their own countries, and this war is really going to end.
I don't know if what Jin Cheng said is true or not, Kong Qing cautiously probed: "How come the last general has never heard of the matter of withdrawing troops?"
Jin Cheng shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "No matter what the opinions of the other commanders are, my family is ready to return to China anyway." Jin Guo is far away from You Guo, and has been fighting for several months, and the soldiers have already returned to their hearts like arrows, not to mention that now that the traitor Nie Xing has been captured, the Lord can return to China, and he can also give a satisfactory explanation to the Son of Heaven. ”
King Jin can take the lead in withdrawing troops, which is naturally great. Kong Qing picked up his wine glass and said to Jin Cheng: "General, the last general thinks that there are still many opportunities to meet in the future, and when the last general can spare time, he will definitely go to the Jin Kingdom to visit the general in person!"
Jin Cheng smiled and said, "If that's the case, I'll entertain General Kong well!"
"General, do it!"
"!"
Jin Cheng and Kong Qing toasted each other and toasted each other. Hearing the news that the Jin army was preparing to withdraw its troops, Kong Qing's gloomy mood for several days was swept away, and his heart was excited and excited, and unconsciously, he drank several glasses with Jin Cheng.
His four guards were also eating and drinking, and in a short time, the flasks on the table had been changed three times.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Kong Qing already felt dizzy, he sat on the mat, his body shook from side to side from time to time, and he knew that he had drunk too much, in order to avoid losing his temper in front of Jin Cheng, Kong Qing arched his hand, and said with a straight tongue: "General, the last general is not strong enough to drink, and he can no longer accompany the general to drink, please forgive the last general for retiring first!" As he spoke, he staggered to his feet.
Jin Cheng didn't hold back, raised his head and said: "Come on! Dai Ben will send General Kong out of the account!"
With his words, several Jin soldiers walked in from outside, came to Kong Qing's left and right, and stretched out their hands to help each other.
Kong Qing smiled, turned around and bowed his hand to Jin Cheng again, and said, "Thank you, General, for your kindness......"
Before his words fell, suddenly, he felt a chill under his ribs, and then there was a sharp pain in his heart.
He instinctively looked down, only to see a dagger inserted under his left rib, and the edge of the dagger was almost completely submerged in his body, leaving only the handle exposed.
"Huh?" Kong Qing gasped and looked up in disbelief at the Jin soldier on his left.
There was no one to explain, no one to speak, and the Jin soldiers standing around him had drawn their daggers and stabbed him silently.
Kong Qing can be a lieutenant general in You Country, his martial arts are not weak, if he hadn't drunk too much wine and neglected his precautions, he would not have been secretly calculated so easily.
He was stabbed several times, and at this time, he was also completely sober, and it was obvious that Jin Ren was going to kill himself.
He roared with all his might, and a white mist emanated from Zhou's body. But at the moment before the dark fog condensed into armor, the Jin Jun standing behind him struck first, and the sword was a heavy slash.
The knife was fast and ruthless, and a crisp click was heard in the ear chakra, Kong Qing's head was broken, and the headless corpse stood in place for three seconds. He flipped forward, blood splattering far away.
Kong Qing, who is so powerful and shrewd and capable, is so confused that he is a ghost under the knife of others, until he dies, he dies unexplained, sad and lamentable.
It was too late, it was fast, and the entire assassination operation added up to less than ten seconds.
This sudden turn of events left Kong Qing's four guards dumbfounded, waiting for them to come to their senses. When they were shouting, the Jin soldiers were already carrying steel knives and rushed towards them.
Those soldiers are not ordinary soldiers, but are disguised by demonic warriors, and they are all strong and vicious. Under the siege of many demonic warriors, the four guards did not even make the slightest resistance, and were cut down to the ground in the blink of an eye.
"Flutter!"
The Demon Warrior stabbed the last guard to death. Then look around to make sure there is no more life. Only then did he put his knife into the sheath and said to Jin Cheng one after another: "I have already completed the things entrusted by the general, I don't know what else the general commands?"
Jin Cheng looked down at the corpse in the tent, and sighed faintly, if you want to blame, you can only blame you, if not. Why is this the case?
He shook his head, waved his hand to several demonic underworld warriors, and said, "There is nothing else to do, all brothers can go back." ”
"The villain says goodbye!" The demon warriors intervened to Jin Cheng one after another, and then rushed out.
When they left, Jin Cheng stood up. Bypassed the table, came to Kong Qing's corpse, placed his head at his broken neck, looked down a few more times, and then called his subordinates in, and ordered them to immediately dispose of all the corpses of Kong Qing and the others, without leaving any traces.
Then, he went to the garrison of the You army and explained to the soldiers of the You army that Kong Qing had been arranged by the kings to go to the counties west of Huaiyang to persuade Nie Xing to surrender the forces there, and now the You army was temporarily taken over by him.
Since Chen Bo and Kong Qing were not in the army, only a partial general and the corps commander were left, and the You army was equivalent to a group of dragons without a leader, and after hearing Jin Cheng's words, all the soldiers had no objection, and they all intervened in Jin Cheng and saluted, expressing their willingness to obey his dispatch.
Jin Cheng's order to them was very simple, stay where they were, they couldn't go anywhere, they could just rest in the camp. After he finished dealing with the affairs of You Jun's side, he went to see Lin Haotian and returned to the latter.
With the withdrawal of the You army from Huaiyang, the new red country accused by the Jin army no longer had any worries, and at this time, they began to target Nie Dan and his family.
How to eradicate Nie Dan's party, Song Hao and his generals also went through a lot of calculations together.
After discussing and discussing, they agreed that if they wanted to eradicate Nie Dan, they had to do it secretly, and the news must not leak out, otherwise, it would inevitably cause indignation and dissatisfaction among the people of Youguo, and the situation in Youguo would be chaotic.
But it is not easy to secretly eradicate Nie Dan, he not only has many ministers and strategists around him, but also many generals, including Gauss and Lin Ning, two famous generals of You, in addition, the You army under Nie Dan is also close to 20,000 people. How to get rid of Nie Dan, Song Hao and his subordinates couldn't make up their minds, and in the end, they thought of Lin Haotian together.
Lin Haotian is quick-witted and good at scheming, and if he wants to annihilate Nie Dan's party, he also needs the assistance of the Jin army, so that he can be more stable.
After thinking about it, Song Hao decided to go out of the city and return to the camp to see Lin Haotian.
In the Chinese military tent of the Jin army, Lin Haotian met with Song Hao.
After taking his seat, Lin Haotian asked with a smile: "I heard that the New Red Army has raided a lot of Nie Xing's henchmen in the past few days, presumably Brother Song has gained a lot, right?"
Song Hao and his generals glanced at each other and smiled tacitly. He said: "No matter how much I rob the new Red Country, it is not as rich as Brother Lin occupying the palace!" After a pause, he restrained his smile, cut to the topic, and said: "It is reported that the Yan-Chi Alliance is less than five hundred miles away from Huaiyang, and if you travel day and night, you can arrive in two days, so we must now start to solve the troubles in Huaiyang City." ”
Lin Haotian deliberately pretended to be confused, and asked: "I don't know what the trouble Brother Song is referring to is......"
"Of course, it's Nie Dan's party! Now, most of the people of You have respected Nie Dan as the king of You, and if they can't eradicate him, our army will not be able to gain any benefits in Huaiyang City. Song Hao's eyes were rolling around as he spoke, flashing with fine light.
"En!" Lin Haotian nodded, and said thoughtfully: "Nie Dan has always had a high reputation among the You people, and now that Nie Xing has been captured, the You people naturally hope that he can inherit the throne." For Nie Dan...... We can only let him secretly 'disappear', so as not to fall into the hands of others. ”
"That's right!" Song Hao continued: "That's exactly what we mean, but there are not a few soldiers around Nie Dan, and it is not easy to get rid of him unconsciously, I don't know what Brother Lin thinks?"
Lin Haotian lightly tapped his forehead and said faintly: "Nie Dan is beside him, even if there are fierce generals like Gauss and Lin Ning, there are also many hidden disciples, and it is indeed difficult to get rid of him secretly. ”
After pondering for a while, he said again: "In this way, we will set up a banquet in the palace and invite Nie Dan to attend, and it is announced to the outside that Nie Dan has entered the palace, and he is the landlord, and he invites us to the banquet." When the banquet begins, we will find an opportunity to attack Nie Dan, even if the matter is publicized, we can also say that Nie Dan is plotting against him, setting up an ambush in the palace, and wanting to poison our kings, we will kill him out of self-defense, so that we can completely eradicate Nie Dan and his party!"
This is also a solution! Song Hao nodded while pondering, although Lin Haotian's plan was a little rude, it was indeed feasible.
Song Hao nodded in response: "Okay!
After secret consultations, everyone formulated a detailed plan to eradicate Nie Dan, and then sent someone to the prince's mansion to inform Nie Dan that he could now stay in the palace and take over the power of You Kingdom.
Hearing this news, the prince's mansion was boiling, and the princelings were all overjoyed, they were really afraid that the coalition army would not let go of the power of You Guo, and at this time, the coalition army let Nie Dan live in the palace, undoubtedly let Nie Dan inherit the throne, which shows that the coalition army does not have the heart to die.
Nie Dan gladly accepted the invitation of the coalition forces and officially stayed in the palace of King You.
Although the palace of King You has been sacked by the Jin army, the Jin army is quite polite and has not carried out large-scale destruction, and the inside and outside of the palace of King You are basically still the same, but the ornaments are lost a lot.
For the large loss of gold, silver and jewelry in the palace, Nie Dan is acceptable, in his opinion, this is also one of the punishments for the loser, now he does not have too many requirements, only hopes that the coalition army can keep Youguo, and withdraw troops from Youguo as soon as possible.
On the second day of Nie Dan's stay in the palace, the monarchs of the Jin and Xinchi kingdoms sent envoys to ask Nie Dan to hold a banquet in the palace, inviting all the kings to gather together, and by the way, discuss the matter of Nie Dan's succession to the throne of King You.
Of course Nie Dan will not refuse, and he does not have the qualifications and ability to refuse, now he is like a fish and meat, how the kings of Lin Haotian arrange, he has to accept it.
There was nothing to say during the day, and that night, a feast was held in the main hall of King You's palace and a sumptuous banquet was arranged.
This is the palace of the king of You, but most of the guards from the inside to the outside are soldiers of the coalition army, so it can be said that the control of the palace is still in the hands of the coalition army.
At the appointed time, Lin Haotian and Song Hao arrived one after another. Outside the gate of the palace, the two met, Song Hao looked around, and said in a low voice: "Inside and outside the palace, they are all our people, even if Nie Dan has great ability, it is difficult to fly this time." ”
Lin Haotian did not participate in the specific details of eradicating Nie Dan, he asked casually, "Where are the soldiers under Nie Dan now?"
"It's all in the barracks east of the city. Song Hao replied.
"Have you sent our men to the east of the city?"
Song Hao smiled and said confidently: "I have sent five corps to ambush near the barracks in the east of the city, as long as the action in the palace begins, my new Red Army will surround the barracks and wipe out all the troops inside!"
Lin Haotian nodded, feeling that he had arranged it quite safely, so he didn't continue to ask, and walked into the palace side by side with Song Hao. (To be continued......)
