Chapter 705: The Young Phoenix’s Cry Shakes the World (8)

Lü Shiren was a must-kill character. All the Yan people who knew the inside story hated him deeply. It was his betrayal that led to the repeated wrong judgments of Zhou Yuan, the Taiwei of Yan State, and ultimately killed countless lives. The Yan people had tried so hard to conquer Donghu in a national war, which turned into a failure that the Yan people would never forget. Ning Xin was unwilling to kill him. Lü Shiren belonged to the Yan Lingwei, that is, Ning Zecheng's direct subordinate. In the end, Ning Zecheng was convicted and died, and Lü Shiren's case became one of the charges.

In addition to the above reasons, the Eastern Expedition Army wanted to kill Lü Shiren because after his betrayal, Lü Shiren helped Donghu start to establish a complete intelligence agency, which was originally a relatively weak point for Donghu people. Donghu also had spies, but unlike the Central Plains countries, it had formed a complete overall system. If Lü Shiren succeeded, it would inevitably cause great trouble to the Supervisory Council.

Since Niu Ben and Niu Teng entered Donghu, killing Lu Shiren became their primary task. Lu Shiren is not so easy to kill. He knows all the methods of Yanlingwei very well. What the traitor fears most is the liquidation of the old boss. Lu Shiren has always hidden himself very well.

The arrest of the liaison who came to Helin to contact Niu Ben was the beginning of this bait. The liaison didn't know that when he stepped into Helin, his whereabouts had been betrayed to Lu Shiren. The most difficult and uncontrollable thing about this plan is whether this liaison will survive the torture of the opponent and reveal the contact point of Hongren. If this liaison swears to die and refuses to tell the truth, then this plan will eventually die. Lu Shiren will not believe the information he can easily get, and only in the cruel and inhumane torture, when the liaison is in a semi-conscious state, or the information revealed unconsciously, can it be accepted.

In order to kill Lu Shiren, Niu Ben and Niu Teng painstakingly laid out this bureau, and finally achieved the result they wanted. In order to kill Lü Shiren, they also paid a huge price, but in their opinion, it was completely worth it.

Once Lü Shiren died, the intelligence system that Donghu had built with great difficulty would suffer the heaviest blow.

And in fact, this was exactly the case. Once Lü Shiren died, Helin's intelligence system immediately became sluggish, which greatly facilitated the actions of Niu Ben and Niu Teng who sneaked in. In a short period of time. Assassinations occurred one after another, and the targets of these assassinations, without exception, were all concentrated on the Yan people who surrendered to the Donghu people. What made Thorpe most angry was the death of Lü Shiren and Wang Tingshi.

Wang Tingshi became a senior official of Donghu and was in charge of Donghu's finances for just over a year before he was assassinated. His death was the same as Lü Shiren's death. It also brought unpredictable losses to Donghu. The plan he was planning to implement to provide pensions to soldiers who died in battle was also forced to stop, and it was not known when it could be restarted.

Helin began a large-scale search. The household registration was re-registered, especially the last one, which finally forced Niu Ben and Niu Teng to withdraw from Helin and spread to the vast area under the control of Donghu. Next, they will become the sparks that the Eastern Expedition Army sprinkled into the territory of Donghu at the right time.

These sparks will become a raging fire, sending the Donghu people to the abyss of hell.

Helin began to calm down, and the overwhelmed Tulu finally freed up his hands and began to prepare for negotiations with the Eastern Expedition Army and the Yan court.

The first person he visited was Xiong Ben, who had been staying in Helin.

Xiong Ben was a great noble of Yan State, and was appointed General of the Western Expedition. He was a powerful figure in the Yan court. After the failure of the Eastern Expedition, Xiong Ben did not surrender or leave, and became a unique existence in Helin. Because of his identity, Thorpe also kept him well in Helin.

Xiong Ben is an outstanding general. He has always been the vanguard in the conquest of Donghu, and his vanguard army is indeed outstanding. He led his subordinates to fight the first battle of this war, and the last battle was also under his command. His vanguard army suffered heavy losses, and only one in ten survived. Those who survived were all outstanding. Luo Weiran and Chen Bin were all his subordinates. It can be seen that he is really good at military affairs.

In Thorpe's next plan, Xiong Ben will become a key figure, so before leaving, Tulu first came to visit this Yan general who is highly respected even among Donghu generals.

Xiong Ben was very happy these days and was drunk every day, not for anything else, just because of the great defeat of Donghu in the Hetao area. When Kumamoto heard that 50,000 Donghu cavalry were completely wiped out in Hetao, he almost didn't believe his ears and even thought it was fake. But as the subsequent news was finally confirmed, especially when the coffins of Yan Qi and others were transported back to Helin by some Donghu captives, Kumamoto danced with joy and got drunk that night.

This excitement continues to this day, because the assassinations that continue to take place in Helin are all those former Yan officials who have completely surrendered to Donghu and are working for Donghu. Among them, there are many who were Kumamoto's direct subordinates. Like Kumamoto's own deputy, he directly defected to Donghu. These people are very capable, but the stronger their ability, the greater the damage they may cause in the future. When some of these people were assassinated, Kumamoto did not feel any sadness, but instead felt a burst of pleasure.

He got drunk several more times.

So when Tulu found him, Kumamoto had just woken up from a hangover, and his head was still aching. His face was originally very bad, but when he saw Tulu's haggard appearance, he was still smiling. bursts of pleasure.

"Lord Tulu, it seems that your life has been too good these days?" He said to Tulu with a smile.

"General Kumamoto looks good. I heard that during this period of time, you have been playing songs every day and getting drunk every night!" Tulu snorted coldly.

"Of course, of course, I have lived here with Lin for almost two years. During this period, my heart feels happy. It is rare to have happy days, so of course I have to have a good time!" Kumamoto smiled and said: "Tulu-sama has nothing to do with it. If you don’t go to the Three Treasures Hall, you must be here to see me as a prisoner today, right?”

"General Xiong, you can come and go freely in Helin. No one has ever restricted your movements. Why did you come to live in prison? You are my distinguished guest in Donghu, and how have you ever encountered any difficulties? Although you are our prisoner of war. But throughout history, there has never been a free prisoner of war like you!" Tulu sneered.

"This is what I'm proud of!" Kumamoto laughed. "I, Kumamoto, do have a sense of accomplishment to be able to serve as a prisoner."

Tulu looked ugly and sat down angrily, "General Kumamoto, I won't beat around the bush anymore. As you said, I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Of course I have something to do when I come to visit you. I'm going to do it right away. Let’s set off to Jishi City to discuss peace with Na Gaoyuan.”

Kumamoto also sat down calmly, "You were hurt this time, scared of being beaten, and finally want to negotiate for peace? I'm really happy to hear you say this."

"Perhaps General Kumamoto will be very happy, but the Yan King Ji Ling in Jicheng, Taiwei Zhou Yu and Senior Doctor Tan Feng are probably very unhappy, right? The Eastern Expedition Army Gaoyuan has become extremely difficult to control, and even our Eastern Hu Army has After such a big defeat, your Yan army suffered heavy losses. Your strength is far inferior to mine. I'm afraid you are even more vulnerable to the Eastern Expedition Army? It's really hard for me to understand how General Kumamoto can still be happy? "Tulu sneered.

Kumamoto was silent for a moment, regarding the conflict between Gao Yuan and the imperial court. Naturally, a person of his level knew clearly about Gao Yuan's series of actions that Yan Guo Chaotang planned later. Although he didn't know it clearly, he also knew that although the Zhengdong Army and the Yan Army were not incompatible before and now, they were indeed at war with each other, and unpredictable consequences could erupt at any time.

"In any case, Gao Yuan is still Yan's general in the east."

"I forgot to tell General Kumamoto that during the two years you have been living in Helin, Gao Yuan has already established himself as the governor of Zhengdong Governor's Mansion. Six divisions have been established in Zhengdong Mansion, and the army has been reorganized. His four major field armies have already joined forces with you. The army is divided into two systems. Liaoxi and Hejian are under his control. He even extended his hand to Yuyang. Just a few years ago, he controlled the Anlu iron ore and copper mines in Yuyang. General Kumamoto, you Do you still think he is your general of Yan?"

After listening to Tulu's words, Kumamoto couldn't help but become irritated, "Did you come here just to tell me this? I am just a military general, and it is my duty to lead troops to fight. If one day, Gao Yuan really rebels, I will naturally be obliged to do so. , but he is still a general of Yan State, even though he is a little more domineering. "

Tulu laughed and said, "General Kumamoto is really capable. He can also say such deceptive things. Yes, I came to you today because I have something to do. General Kumamoto should know these two people, Luo Weiran and Chen Bin." ?”

Kumamoto was startled for a moment, thought for a while, nodded, and said: "There is a bit of a recollection. It should be the low-level generals under my command in the past, like General Yagami and so on. I haven't seen many of them, so the recollection is not too deep."

"These two people are now generals of the Eastern Conquest Army. It can be said that we were defeated in the battle of Hetao at the hands of these two men. Chen Bin led thousands of people to build forts in the Dubo area, which hindered me. The advance of the army planted a fatal nail in the rear of our army. General Xiong, your deputy general, died in the hands of Chen Bin in Dubo, and Luo Weiran first defeated Aziz with a surprise attack, and then On the banks of the Liao River, he and the cavalry commanded by He Lanyan defeated Murong Kun. It was these two battles that brought our army to a point of no return. And now, Chen Bin led his troops straight into Tengger and started again. Building forts and setting up fields, the troops are approaching our Ningyuan and Jingyuan areas. The two tooth generals under General Xiong are so capable. Tulu has to admire how talented you are."

Xiong Ben was happy at first. Luo Weiran and Chen Bin were both under his command. They made great contributions in defeating the Donghu Hetao Camp. He was also proud of it, but then his expression changed, "You and I What do I want to do by saying this?”

"Luo Weiran and Chen Bin have made great contributions in this battle. They will definitely be promoted to other positions in the future. I think, General Kumamoto, we can cooperate."

"You want me to cooperate with you, do you want me to recruit these two people for you?" Kumamoto sneered.

"I think so too."

"Don't even think about it!" (To be continued...)
