Chapter 514: Bloodless Soldiers

After listening to Chen Bo's words, Gong Song's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "I don't know who General Chen's Mingjun refers to?"

"Naturally, it's my Dayou's prince!"

'Chen Bo' Zhengse said: "The prince is generous, broad-minded, and ambitious, I believe that now only the prince can save You Guo, and only by letting the crown prince inherit the throne can the anger of the kingdom of heaven be calmed against my You country." ”

This can be regarded as going to Gong Song's heart, and it is a coincidence that if the officials of You Guo are divided into factions, then Gong Song will definitely be divided into princelings. He was Nie Dan's confidant, and he was also promoted by Nie Dan, and let Nie Dan replace Nie Lin, he raised his hands in favor.

Gong Song took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "General Chen's intentions are good, but the means of doing things are really ...... I didn't think about it!"

"What do you mean by Lord Gong?"

Gong Song pondered for a moment, then looked left and right, took two steps forward, came to the soft collapse, half-squatted down, and said in a low voice: "General Chen, even if you want the king to give way to the crown prince, you should not lead the four-nation alliance to attack the capital, you can unite the palaces of the ministers of civil and military affairs, or you can ......"

Before he could finish speaking, 'Chen Bo' shook his head and smiled, and said in the same low voice: "It's useless! The personality of the king, doesn't Lord Gong know? The palace will only lead to one result, that is, the royal court of my You country will shed a river of blood, and I don't know how many loyal martyrs will die, and the other ...... The king will even anger the prince because of this, and even the prince's situation will be in jeopardy, this is not to save You Guo, but to harm You Guo and the prince. ”

Although he didn't want to admit it, Gong Song still gasped and nodded involuntarily.

Seeing him frowning, Chen Bo was silent, and continued: "We can't save You Guo by ourselves. It can't change the king's determination to be the emperor wholeheartedly, and in the end, You Guo can only be wiped out under the iron hooves of the four-nation alliance. ”

"Now if you bring the Four-Nation Alliance into the capital, can you save Youguo?"

"That's right! This is what the four princes personally assured me! No one in the world knows that our You army is brave and good at fighting, brave and invincible, and in fact, the four countries do not want to go to war with our You country. The reason why the alliance sent troops was also a helpless move to be called the emperor by the king. The intention of the four kingdoms is very simple, that is, the king will give up the throne and step down from the throne, go to the monarchs of various countries to take the blame, and give an explanation to the people of the world. "'Chen Bo' is conclusive and promises.

If that's the case. It's not a bad thing to lure the Four-Nation Alliance into the capital! Gong Song's eyes rolled, and he looked at Chen Bo while pondering, wanting to see if what he said was true or false by observing his words and expressions.

Chen Bo's face was sincere, his eyes were firm, and there was no flickering expression.

In fact, Gong Song was also very puzzled by Chen Bo's sudden surrender, and now through his words, he somewhat understood. Ponder for a while. He slowly spoke: "I heard that the Four-Nation Alliance Army killed a lot of our people in Canglin County!"

It was a time when news was closed. Much of the information is known through the oral accounts of displaced people. At the beginning, when the Jin army wantonly captured the people of Youguo, causing many people in Canglin County to flee westward and run to Xiangshan County, the people's description of the Jin army was naturally exaggerated, and they simply portrayed the Jin army alliance as a demon who killed people without blinking.

'Chen Bo' Zhengse said: "Did the Four-Nation Alliance indiscriminately kill innocents in Canglin County? I don't know, but since my defection, the coalition forces have always treated me with courtesy and no deviance. ”

"Oh!" Gong Song replied noncommittally, but he already believed it seven or eight points in his heart. At least as far as he could hear, the coalition had only committed atrocities in Canglin County, and there were no rumors of this in other counties.

From this, it can be seen that the Four-Nation Coalition is not untrustworthy.

Thinking of this, Gong Song made a decision, he smiled at Chen Bo, and arched his hand and said: "General Chen, I may want to disappoint you, Xiaguan and the soldiers in Nanyue City will never surrender to the coalition army." ”

In a word, Chen Bo's heart was half cold, and the kind words and persuasions that he had worked hard to persuade were all in vain? This Gong Song is really hateful!

The roots of his teeth were itching in his heart, but there was nothing to show on the surface, and 'Chen Bo' said with infinite regret: "You Guo has reached the point of life and death, Lord Gong, as a minister of the pillars, is he indifferent?"

"General Chen, the lower official's words are not finished yet. Gong Song said quietly: "In fact, with Nanyue's current city defense, not to mention that the four countries have a million troops, even if it is doubled, the lower officials are confident that they can defend Nanyue." ”

After a pause, he said with a smile: "However, although Xia Guan does not plan to surrender to the Four-Nation Alliance, he can let the Four-Nation Alliance pass." ”

"Oh?" 'Chen Bo' was shocked, and looked at Gong Song incomprehensibly, not quite understanding what he meant by this.

Seeing his doubts, Gong Song explained: "Xiaguan means that the defenders of Nanyue will not obey the command of the Four-Nation Alliance, but they will open the city gate and let the Four-Nation Alliance pass through the city safely. Please General Chen go back and convey the meaning of the lower officials to the ranking generals, if the ranking generals can accept it, they can cross the city at any time, if they can't accept it, then there is nothing to say, the lower officials and the soldiers under his command swear to live and die together in Nanyue!"

If you don't surrender, you can open the city and let you go, and it's a shame that Gong Song can figure it out!' Chen Bo secretly smiled bitterly, Gong Song is clearly testing the Four-Nation Alliance, and he is also making a big gamble, betting that the Four-Nation Alliance will not dare to suddenly attack the defenders when they cross the city.

Seeing that his face was uncertain and speechless for a long time, Gong Song said: "General Chen doesn't have to think about it anymore, and the decision of the lower officials will never be changed, and I ask the general to go back as soon as possible and ask the ranking generals for instructions!"

"No!" 'Chen Bo' replied absentmindedly, "Ben...... The meaning of General Ben can completely represent the Duke of Lie!" He almost said the word 'Ben Shuai' in passing, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and changed it to General Ben.

His words made Gong Song a little dumbfounded, it stands to reason that no matter how noble Chen Bo's status in You is in the country, but after all, he is a general on the side of the Four Nations Alliance, and he can make decisions on behalf of the kings, which is also incredible.

'Chen Bo' also felt that there was something wrong with his words, and then added: "Duke Lie trusts me very much and values me very much. As long as I make a decision, I don't think I will object. ”

"I see!" Gong Song nodded suspiciously, said no more, and stood silently aside, waiting for Chen Bo to make a decision.

He certainly can't decide on his own something so important, the other side. Lin Haotian, who was in touch with the distraction, pulled Chu Lianyu and Song Hao aside, sent away the guards and guards around him, and then told them about the conditions proposed by Gong Song.

Don't care about how Lin Haotian knows, Gong Song's condition alone is too shocking.

The two were stunned for a moment, Song Hao sneered, and said: "If that's the case, then Gong Song is really a fool! He refuses to surrender, but he wants to let us go through the city, and we can completely cross the city." Suddenly attack the defenders from within the city. The reason why Nanyue is difficult to fight is that its city defense is steep and strong, and if we attack in the city, there is no need to consider the factors of city defense.

Lin Haotian rolled his eyes, Song Hao's appearance was majestic and majestic, but how could he be a straw bag with an empty belly? Would Gong Song not think of it?

"That's right, when you're crossing the city. We can suddenly attack the defenders, but in this way, we will lose our morality, and when we advance westward in the future, the defenders of the checkpoints and cities we pass through will desperately fight us to the end, and then try to recruit the You army. It's going to be hard. Besides, Gong Song is not a fool, how could he let our millions of troops rush into the city? Nine times out of ten, he will arrange for our army to pass through the city in batches and times, and if only 10,000 people can pass each time, how can he make trouble for others?"

Song Hao was speechless by him. Thinking about it carefully, Lin Haotian was right. His mind raced, and then, shaking his head again and again, he said, "Then we must not cross the city." ”

Lin Haotian looked at him puzzled.

Song Hao explained: "Gong Song does not descend, if we pass Nanyue, it will be dangerous next." He said it nicely, saying that he would let our army's logistical supplies arrive at Nanyue, but what if he didn't let them go? If we go over, if the gate of Nanyue is closed, we will have no way to retreat, and we will be shut down and beaten by others, and we will be trapped in Youdi!"

This is the real problem that Lin Haotian is worried about, he thinks, this is also Gong Song's test for himself.

Rejecting his conditions shows that he is timid, and he has done his best to accept his conditions, and his own supplies and retreat are in danger of being cut off, and he may even be completely wiped out in the hinterland of Youguo.

Unexpectedly, Gong Song actually gave himself such a problem. Lin Haotian looked at Chu Lianyu and asked, "Lianyu, what do you mean?"

Chu Lianyu pondered for a moment and said, "My lord, I think that it is better to completely conquer or annihilate them than to be controlled by others. Nanyue is certainly not easy to fight, but it is not impossible for us to fight down, but once we fall for Gong Song's tricks, our army will ...... I'm afraid that the whole army is in danger of being wiped out!"

"En!" Lin Haotian nodded, answered, and asked Song Hao, "Is Brother Song the same opinion?"

Song Hao said: "I want to hear what Brother Lin means first!"

Lin Haotian clenched his fists, his eyes gradually became deeper, and he said word by word: "War, there is always a risk. In my opinion, as long as we are 50 percent sure, it is worth taking the risk of trying! I don't know how long it will take to storm Nanyue, and even if it is finally defeated, our army's losses will be very large, and we will have to wait for the rear to replenish the source of troops, and the time before and after will add it up to at least more than a month, and for such a long time, we don't know how much change will take place in the situation in Huaiyang, which is contrary to our army's idea of a quick victory. So, I mean, take a chance, trust Gong Song, and accept his terms!"

Lin Haotian decided to accept Gong Song's conditions, Chu Lianyu thought about it a little, and then agreed, although Song Hao felt that it was too risky, but the plan was proposed by Lin Haotian, and it was not good for him to stand up and oppose it again, so he finally nodded with the crowd.

Through deliberation, several people unanimously agreed to accept Gong Song's proposal not to surrender but to let the coalition forces pass.

The decision on their side was also transmitted to 'Chen Bo' as soon as possible.

Chen Bo, who had been silently speechless with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and said to Gong Song, who was waiting on the side: "Lord Gong, just do what you want!"

Gong Song was stunned for a moment and asked, "Has General Chen thought it through?"

Chen Bo nodded and said, "Yes, I will go back and inform the generals and let the whole army prepare to cross the city." ”

Listening to his tone, he was completely in the posture of the commander of the whole army. This made Gong Song secretly taken aback again, and he couldn't guess why he had such a weight in the coalition army.

Strange in his heart, Gong Song still arched his hand and said: "Then there is General Lao Chen, and the lower officials will also open the city gate widely, waiting for the soldiers of the coalition army to pass through the city at any time." ”

Chen Bo narrowed his eyes, and asked Zhengse, "How does Lord Gong want the coalition army to cross the city?" No matter how bold Gong Song is, he will not let his side cross the city freely, and there will definitely be restrictions, and nine times out of ten he will let his side pass in batches.

However, to his surprise, Gong Song did not make such a request, and said with a smile: "The coalition forces can go as they want, and the lower officials will not ask, let alone stop them." ”

This was quite beyond Lin Haotian's expectations, and Chen Bo looked directly at Gong Song for a long time. Finally, he nodded and smiled, and said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and I thank Lord Gong for your trust." ”

Chen Bo was carried back to the coalition camp by the guards, and then told Lin Haotian and Song Hao the results of his negotiations with Gong Song again.

After hearing his words, Song Hao was overjoyed, and hurriedly said to Lin Haotian: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Since the other party does not limit the number of our troops crossing the city, let's strike first ......."

Lin Haotian waved his hand and said, "Since Gong Song can trust us so much. Why, then, can't we trust him? Having Gong Song help us guard Nanyue can also save us a lot of manpower!"

Song Hao still wanted to speak, but Lin Haotian had already shook his head to the people on the left and right, and then flew on his horse and headed straight towards Nanyue City.

Seeing that he was the first to leave, Song Hao and the others were startled. looked at each other, and finally gritted their teeth secretly, and followed Lin Haotian with courage and courage.

When they entered the range of Nanyue, people's hearts unconsciously raised their throats, with the strength of Nanyue's defenders. I'm afraid that with only one round of arrows, none of them will want to live.

But the defenders of Nanyue did not attack, as Gong Song said, the city gate was wide open, the defenders were separated on both sides, and the civil and military officials with Gong Song as the city gate gathered in front of the city gate, without any intention of starting a war.

After a short time, Lin Haotian was already riding a high-headed horse and walked unhurriedly to Gong Song and the others.

His eyes were scanning Gong Song and the others, and the other party was also looking at him, and saw clearly that the person who came was not very old, but he was full of style, with a golden crown on his head, wearing a black gorgeous brocade robe, and a red and delicate coat on the outside.

Lin Haotian floated off his horse, smiled at Gong Song, who was standing at the front of everyone, and said, "Presumably Your Excellency is Lord Gong, right?"

"You ......"

"When you see General Lin, don't you greet him politely?" didn't need Lin Haotian to answer, Shao Lin behind him shouted in a deep voice.

Gong Song and other civil and military officials were shocked in their hearts, and people bowed their hands one after another, and said in unison: "The last general will wait to meet General Lin!"

Gong Song and the others bowed, not kneeling, after all, Lin Haotian was not King You, and they were not surrendering, so it was impossible to bow down.

Lin Haotian didn't mind this, waved his hand to everyone, and said: "You don't have to be polite, but I want to thank Lord Gong for understanding the righteousness and being willing to let my coalition army pass unconditionally." ”

"The last general is ashamed to wait, General Lin is waiting to kill the last general!" Gong Song's head hung lower.

Lin Haotian helped him up and said with a smile: "Lord Gong, let's go into the city!"

His understatement made the faces of everyone present change.

Before he could find out whether there was an ambush in the city and whether there was any danger, Lin Haotian, as the commander of the Jin Army, was the first to enter the city, and his courage was too great.

Gong Song was also secretly speechless, stunned for a moment, and asked, "Isn't General Lin worried that we will set up an ambush in the city?"

Lin Haotian asked with a smile: "Lord Gong is willing to let the coalition army pass, aren't you worried that the coalition army will suddenly be difficult after entering the city?"

Gong Song said: "The last general believes in the generals of the countries, and I also believe that the generals will never do such a despicable and shameless thing." ”

Lin Haotian nodded and said, "In the same way, Ben Shuai also believes in Lord Gong's personality, and believes that Lord Gong will do what he says." ”

He said it easily, but Gong Song was moved, it seems that his big bet is right, the coalition is indeed worthy of his trust, and it is no wonder that Chen Bo defected to the coalition army. He said, "Thank you General Lin for your trust in the last general. ”

Lin Haotian said calmly: "Ben Shuai has always believed that trust should be mutual. Since Lord Gong can trust the coalition forces so much, how can Ben Shuai not set an example?" As he spoke, he raised his head with a smile and said, "Lord Gong, please lead the way." ”

Looking at Lin Haotian, who was not very old, handsome but had a big mind, and was straightforward and heroic, Gong Song couldn't help but feel broken, no wonder the Jin Kingdom rose rapidly in the north, if You Guo could also have such a commander, why would it fall into today's miserable situation?

For Lin Haotian, Gong Song can be said to have all kinds of flavors in his heart, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as envy, jealousy and hatred, of course, his feelings are not for Lin Haotian as a person, but for the entire Jin Kingdom.

Under the guidance of Gong Song, Lin Haotian was protected by a group of generals and guards, and took the lead in entering Nanyue City.

It wasn't until he went in for a while, and there was no chaos in the city, that Song Hao in the back dared to muster up his courage and led their respective armies to enter one after another.

Gong Song admired Lin Haotian's courage and mind, although the commanders of the two armies had entered the city, he had always been by Lin Haotian's side. (To be continued......)
