The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 563
After persuading Zhang Zhongliang to play for him, Lin Yifan summoned Luo Feng and asked in detail about the past on the grassland.After hearing some of the dangers, Luo Feng and the others couldn't help breaking into a cold sweat.

After talking about the grassland, Luo Feng began to talk about the things in Yanming.Finally, he took out Yang Mingyuan's letter from his bosom, and said excitedly: "Brother-in-law, this is a letter from King Ming, and I specially entrusted it to you."

"Oh, Yang Mingyuan even wrote a letter to me. What did he want to say?" Lin Yifan frowned slightly and asked immediately.

"Brother-in-law, Duke Ming intends to join us in Hengshan." Luo Feng said excitedly.

"Returning to Hengshan? Hmph, now that Yanzhou is gone, we are the only ones he can rely on at this time. What's so strange about that?" Lin Yifan sneered as he unwrapped the envelope.

"Brother-in-law, it's different." Seeing that he misunderstood, Luo Feng quickly explained, "The surrender that King Ming said means completely relying on me, Hengshan, and dedicating Mingzhou."

"What?" Lin Yifan's face changed, "He, he wants to sacrifice Mingzhou?"

As he spoke, he immediately opened the letter in his hand and read it carefully.

After reading it, Lin Yifan closed the letter, suppressed the surprise in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Quickly, hurry up and pass on Mr. Han and Mr. Zhang to discuss matters."

The guards outside the door heard the words and went to report immediately.

After a while, Han Song and Zhang Zhongliang arrived one after another.After Lin Yifan waited for everyone, he immediately handed the letter in his hand to Han Song, and said with a smile, "Haha, you two should read this letter first."

After the two looked at it one by one, the shock on their faces was no less than that of Lin Yifan.

"My lord, this, how is this possible?" Han Song was a little incoherent, "Ming Wang, how could Ming Wang do this? This, this is not a fraud, right?"

"I'm also a little worried about this matter, so I invite the two of you to come and do a total calculation." Lin Yifan nodded and said in a calm voice.

"My lord, I think this matter may be true." Zhang Zhongliang stroked his beard with a sigh, and said in a deep voice: "Now Yanzhou is owned by the Cao family, and the Cao family occupies seven or eight out of ten of the Central Plains. There is no possibility of confrontation in one state. Now the situation in the world has gradually become clearer. The two powers stand side by side. Nails, people can't help but want to pull them out. In this regard, after learning that Yanzhou has fallen, you must have plans to send troops to Mingzhou, right?"

Lin Yifan smiled awkwardly, expressing his acquiescence.

"Without Yanzhou, the existence of Mingzhou has no meaning." Zhang Zhongliang said with a smile, "Presumably King Ming has already thought of it. Now Mingzhou is the fat of the two families, and anyone wants to eat it. Therefore , King Ming has no choice but to surrender."

"Then why did he choose me, Hengshan?" Han Song couldn't help asking.

"Haha, just like the king of Yan ordered to escort his family to Hengshan, he has taken a fancy to Hengshan's potential and the kindness of the Duke." Zhang Zhongliang bowed to Lin Yifan slightly, flattered him by the way, and continued: "Ming Wang's only choice at this time is Hengshan. If he joins the Cao family, he may not end well in the future."

"Oh, then you're not afraid that I'm going to be inconsistent with what you say, so you'll get rid of you secretly?" Lin Yifan couldn't help laughing at himself when he heard this.

"My lord's actions in the past ten years are not unnoticed by us." Zhang Zhongliang said with a smile, "Since your lord's rise, he has collected refugees and resettled them in Hengshan, so that they have houses and fields, and there will be no famine anymore. Fear of being exposed to the cold. Throughout the world, there is no place where the people under his rule are as rich as Hengshan. From this point of view, how can your lord be a cruel and heartless person? Furthermore, when your lord conquers all directions, all the people he conquers are aliens. However, there are very few who take the initiative to attack the Central Plains, which can be called righteousness. Such benevolence and righteousness, the people of insight in the world, know it well, how can there be no reason not to come and go?"

"Haha, stop talking about Mr. Zhang. If you continue talking, I will be complacent." Lin Yifan laughed from ear to ear, "If that's the case, then Yang Mingyuan really attached himself to Hengshan. I don't know what you two think, but I How should Hengshan handle this matter?"

Hearing this, the two couldn't help but fell into deep thought.After a long time, Zhang Zhongliang said, "My lord, in the letter, the king of Ming has proposed the condition that he cut down the king's title and enter Hengshan. I think that although this move can easily win Mingzhou, I'm afraid that the old troops of the king of Ming will feel dissatisfied. At this time, it is not appropriate to accept it in its entirety. It is better to just cut off the prince and retain the prince of the country. As for the hostage, it cannot be implemented now. It is better to move the king of Ming to Hengshan after we take over Mingzhou with our army."

"But if you don't control King Ming, I'm afraid there will be changes." Han Song frowned, worried.

"Master Han said that we can't rule out this possibility." Zhang Zhongliang nodded, "We may use both kindness and power to slowly win the hearts of everyone in Mingzhou. With the grace of saving Mingzhou, most people will treat me Hengshan has a good feeling in his heart. Leading elite soldiers to beat Cao Jun hard will have a deterrent effect. Wait for Mingzhou to be solved, and then wait and see its changes. Move them to Hengshan, reuse their generals, divide and transform them."

"Well, what Mr. Zhang said is very good." Han Song couldn't help nodding his head and praised, "My lord, this plan is feasible. Now that Huazhou is tentatively determined, a strong army can be sent into Mingzhou. If you just want to defend Mingzhou, you only need to Just a few soldiers and horses."

Lin Yifan thought for a while, then nodded slowly, "In that case, then send [-] troops to Mingzhou to assist in guarding the pass. In addition, order Luo Yi to lead the Huazhou Army to exert pressure outside the Tianjing Pass to force Cao's army to withdraw as soon as possible."

"Yes, this subordinate will go back to draw up orders." Han Song nodded, ready to get up and leave.

"Wait a minute." Lin Yifan stopped him suddenly, "Master Han, you also write an order and send it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, ordering Jiang Yunchuan to go to Mingzhou in person to negotiate with Yang Mingyuan about the surrender."

"Your subordinate obeys." Han Song nodded and immediately withdrew.

Lin Yifan looked at Zhang Zhongliang, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhang, apart from the matter of Mingzhou, although Yanzhou has fallen into the hands of the Cao family, I believe that there is still the old Ministry of King Yan hiding there. I hope you can They recruited me to Hengshan, or persuaded them to lurk in Yanzhou, secretly accumulating strength, and wait for the time to recover Yanzhou in the future. I don’t know if you want to do it?”

Zhang Zhongliang was slightly shocked, "My lord, you, are you willing to use the old department of King Yan?"

"Why don't you want to?" Lin Yifan looked at him with a smile, "I have always been kind to talents as much as possible. As long as they are willing to work for me in Hengshan, I will not be stingy with high officials and rich salary. Mr. is new here, and I don't know what Hengshan is like now. The status quo, the gap for officials is still very large."

Zhang Zhongliang bowed to him gratefully, "Mr. Zhang, thank you so much."
