Chapter Fifty-Five: I Don't Want to Cooperate Anymore
Jinfang's expression changed drastically. He didn't want this. He just didn't want Jin Guo and Xia Guo to cooperate.
Since Jin and Xia had cooperated, this important border town would not have allocated so much military expenditure. How could he make money? So the adults above sent people down to talk to him, and he agreed.
After all, if a conflict occurs, a few people die, and they report it to the higher authorities, the people above will have a reason to impeach the prince who cooperated. But he never expected that the regent of Daxia would be so arrogant and domineering, and not care about himself at all.
In the Kingdom of Jin, this is the city of the Kingdom of Jin.
This allowed me to quickly make the opponent suffer a dumb loss and hand over an ordinary soldier to bear the blame. I sent the person to the capital. After the adults above successfully impeached him, I ordered him to send off Daxia's army with a few more words of flattery.
It would be over and things would be back to normal. But now, Daxia has begun to attack the city...
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must not do this. We can talk about it again."
"Talk about it? I have already reached an agreement with you, Prince Jin. It was you who broke the contract, not me."
Li Lin watched the battle beacon without changing his expression. At this time, Gu Simonan also led 50,000 people from Daxia into Xia Zhi City and was snatching control of the east wall of Xia Zhi City.
It is estimated that this side will be solved in less than half an hour. The most difficult part of siege is to enter the city wall. Now that the most difficult part has been solved, it can be said that Xia Zhi City is like a piece of meat on the chopping board.
Jinfang also saw this in her eyes and knew that Xia Zhi was over...
"Master Jin, it's not impossible to talk. But you have to be sincere, right?"
Jinfang knew what he meant, and whether she said it now or not would have little impact.
"The Minister of War of the Kingdom of Jin sent someone over and told me that this was the cooperation plan proposed by the prince. The second prince also negotiated a cooperation plan with the Northern Snow Kingdom. Now I am asked to choose a team. I am worried that after the cooperation, the people allocated to Xia Zhi City will
Military expenses would be deducted, so I chose to side with the second prince."
"So you want to use this conflict to prove that I, Daxia, have bad intentions? It's a bit far-fetched, or in other words, the risks do not match the benefits you can get."
Jinfang looked at Li Lin in surprise, not expecting this young man to see this.
"In addition, your Grand Duke Ning Guo also sent someone to ask me to destroy this cooperation, so that I can be given 20 million taels, and in the future, the grain and grass sales of the Northern Army will be transferred to me during the summer solstice."
"It's really generous. Twenty million taels were spent on it."
The more Li Lin thought about it, the angrier he became. These ministers and the old emperor really didn't regard money as money. They could only give away tens of thousands of dollars. If you don't earn your feelings, don't cherish them.
"Why are they?"
"This... they said that they are the same as me, and they are afraid that after cooperation, the Northern Army will not have funding, or even disarmament."
"Okay, Mr. Jin is indeed cooperating. Thank you Mr. Jin. Let's continue to watch the siege together."
After hearing this, Li Lin didn't believe this. Now that there has been no war all year round, the status of the military has been much lower. If he goes to war, they should be too late to support him. How can he stop him because of such a thing.
So what is Ning Guogong doing? Li Lin has no clue and is a little irritable, so he is too lazy to continue talking to Jinfang.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you said we could talk, but you can't break your promise."
"Talk? Okay, but let me tell you in advance. It is impossible for you to ask me to give up the siege. I will not spit out what I have eaten."
Jinfang stared, her hope just now was extinguished, Xia Zhi City was lost, she would not get any benefits, and the family in the capital would be implicated...
"you!"
"Okay, be quiet, I'll need your help in passing the message later." After saying that, someone blocked Jinfang's mouth.
Although there are 20,000 defenders of Xia Zhi City, the city gates are now wide open, and Jin Kingdom's already weak army has no city wall to rely on, so it is even more vulnerable.
Li Lin knew that it was only a matter of time before Xia Zhi City was completely captured. There was no point in staying here by himself. He should go back and deal with the military camp first.
The reason why Ning Guogong was able to deceive Li Lin was that there must be more truth in what he said.
First of all, he is indeed old, and power is far less important to him than safety. In terms of the old man's expectations for his younger generations, he has agreed to his request. To be honest, the military judge commander Ji Ning Guogong is also at the peak of his military generals.
What's there...
Li Lin thought about it and walked back to the military camp. At this time, the remaining 200,000 troops from the capital surrounded the 50,000 troops from the frontier army.
This is what Li Lin just arranged for his personal guards to come back to do. First, he asked Gu Sinan to lead troops to Xia Zhi City to respond. Second, he asked 50,000 troops to surround the Northern Army's border guards.
When he guessed that the soldiers in the city might be from the border army, he had already begun to prepare for their rebellion.
He will not use the 50,000 border troops until the matter is resolved.
Li Lin's carriage had just arrived at the military camp, and several guards came forward to report it.
"Your Majesty, General Ning Yun has been waiting in the commander's tent for a long time."
"Okay, don't worry, I will go find General Han She."
After the man saluted, he led the way and stopped in front of a military tent.
"Go and call the Minister of War, Yu Shangshu."
"yes!"
The man stepped back, and Li Lin lifted the curtain and walked in. The layout inside was simple, with only two desks, tables and chairs, but there was a straight pillar in the middle, which made people feel strange.
"The last general, Han She, pays homage to His Royal Highness the Regent."
"Oh no, Zhuzhu said something?" Li Lin was stunned for a moment, and when he looked carefully, he saw Han She standing upright.
During the march, the generals of each department had to report on the situation under their control every day. Han She, as the commander of the capital, naturally needed it. Every time he came to report, it was in detail. Every battalion told him what he had done today.
, as soon as I interrupted him, he immediately kowtowed, confessed his crime, and begged for forgiveness.
It was okay once or twice, but it lasted for more than two weeks, listening to it every day, every day, which made Li Lin suffer from PTSD.
So that day he specially drafted a paper edict and gave it to Han She. There were only nine words written on it: If you don't kneel down, kneel down again and break your legs.
Now he no longer kneels, but stands upright. It doesn't matter, it doesn't bother his back, so be it.
"Have you heard about General Han?"
Li Lin glanced at Han She helplessly, then walked straight to the chair in Han She's tent and sat down.
"Your Majesty, are you talking about Xia Zhi City?"
Han She is also an important general in the army, so some news will be passed to Han She. I heard someone reported that soldiers were fighting with people from the Kingdom of Jin in the city.
Han Shexia trembled, and even held an officer meeting? He immediately conducted a thorough investigation to see if he was from the Beijing camp. Before the investigation was completed, another person was reported dead, and the soldiers killed Jin Guo soldiers.
Han She almost fell to the ground, and then the follow-up reports came to him one after another. Especially when he heard that Li Lin ignored Jin Fang and shot Jin Fang, he was even more frightened.
In fact, when it comes to PTSD, Han She suffered it early because of Li Lin, and it was severe.
