Chapter 64: Those who seek fame and reputation face an intractable crisis! (Votes requested)
Xiang Maoliang's expression was extremely confident.
No, it's not just the expression.
He is totally confident.
As one of the youngest officials in the entire Cangzhou, Xiang Maoliang is extremely confident in his judgment.
Just after hearing about Lin Zhongyun and others rebelling.
He immediately analyzed all the connections.
In the end, they came to a conclusion that these people could not survive and had to follow Lin Zhongyun in rebellion.
Moreover, Xia Zhaoji and Su Guanyi's massacre of refugees was too hurtful to the people and was tantamount to forcing these refugees to rebel.
But now both of them are dead!
Afterwards, Xiang Maoliang immediately put forward his ideas to Prince Su and Governor Li Shaoqi.
That is to persuade Lin Zhongyun to surrender!
After learning that Lin Zhongyun was not yet of age, he immediately thought of this plan.
People of this age might be a little clever.
But cleverness is destined to be just cleverness.
As long as he is given some benefits, he will definitely be tempted!
Moreover, Xiang Maoliang also has his own selfish motives.
Now Lin Zhongyun is no longer a small refugee. He is the first rebel to rebel and successfully occupy a city.
Lin Zhongyun's name is now not only known to everyone in Cangzhou, but is also becoming known throughout the world!
Similarly, people like Lin Zhongyun are very likely to go down in history in the future, no matter what the outcome.
Scholars have the same name.
How could Xiang Maoliang be an exception?
Persuading Lin Zhongyun to surrender will be a perfect achievement for him, whether it is the direct credit he can get now or in the future!
Therefore, Xiang Maoliang immediately proposed to the governor that he was willing to be an envoy to persuade Lin Zhongyun to surrender.
After thinking about it, Li Shaoqi felt that this was feasible, so he decided to gather troops first, intimidate Lin Zhongyun, and then send an envoy.
Use both soft and hard tactics to force Lin Zhongyun to surrender!
The atmosphere in the entire hall was extremely cold.
Li Zhongwu and others looked at Xiang Maoliang in front of them with murderous intent in their eyes.
Although they are not well educated!
But how could they not see that this was an attempt to persuade someone to surrender?
Now they have an almost crazy admiration for Lin Zhongyun, and this kind of thing is a naked insult to them.
It’s a pity that Lin Zhongyun didn’t say anything, so they didn’t dare to touch him.
Xiang Maoliang didn't care about them at all and looked at Lin Zhongyun with confidence.
Seeing Lin Zhongyun didn't speak.
He was not at all flustered, and spoke again: "Brother Lin, why are you hesitating? Could it be that you are dissatisfied?"
"If so, can I ask the governor for some money on behalf of Brother Lin?"
Xiang Maoliang continued to seduce her without any reservation.
Although he did not call Lin Zhongyun and others beasts like Su Guanyi and Xia Zhaoji, Xiang Maoliang still looked down on Lin Zhongyun and others in his heart.
That’s right, even though Lin Zhongyun has reached his current situation, he still looks down on people like Lin Zhongyun.
I have always believed that as long as I use some money or benefits, I can make them surrender.
But what he didn't expect was that just as he finished speaking, Lin Zhongyun's voice finally rang out.
However, what Lin Zhongyun said was completely different from what he imagined.
"Wan County?"
"This is Shuntian, where does Wan County come from?"
For a moment, the expression on Xiang Maoliang's face froze.
Looking at Lin Zhongyun's increasingly cold expression, Xiang Maoliang suddenly felt uneasy, but he immediately suppressed the feeling.
He smiled casually and said, "Brother Lin, it's up to you." "If Brother Lin doesn't like the name of Wan County, it's fine to call it Shuntian."
"This"
His expression at this moment gradually lost its previous calmness, as if he had noticed something, and there was a hint of panic in his voice.
But even so, he hadn't finished yet.
Lin Zhongyun's undisguised laughter rang out.
Looking at Xiang Maoliang in front of him, Lin Zhongyun smiled happily.
"I've long heard that scholars are all people who seek fame and reputation, and now it seems to be true!"
Lin Zhongyun looked at Xiang Maoliang with a sneer on his face, and said mercilessly: "Your Excellency, do you want to use me, Lin Zhongyun, as a stepping stone? So that you can make further progress in the temple?"
"Ha~"
"Do you really think that I, Lin Zhongyun, have come to this point for my own selfish reasons?"
For a moment, Xiang Maoliang's expression completely froze.
Seeing the mocking look on Lin Zhongyun's face, he instantly showed anger and said immediately: "Do you really think the court can't do anything to you?"
"Ah"
Lin Zhongyun did not hesitate at all, and his sarcasm became even stronger: "So what?"
Hearing this, Xiang Maoliang's face became even angrier.
It was not until now that he fully realized that Lin Zhongyun did not seem to take him seriously at all, and that he seemed to be teasing him by saying so much!
In an instant, strong anger rose in his heart.
But looking at the wolves-like Li Zhongwu and others around him, he could only suppress his anger, and then he bowed to Lin Zhongyun without hesitation: "In this case, I have nothing to say."
"Farewell!"
After saying this, he turned around without hesitation and walked out of the hall.
Lin Zhongyun did not let anyone stop him.
As the saying goes, when two armies are fighting, they do not kill envoys. This person is not worthy of Lin Zhongyun bearing the reputation of cruelty.
But as soon as he left.
Li Zhongwu and others in the hall could no longer bear it, and immediately came forward, bowing to Lin Zhongyun and asking for a fight.
"My lord, the brothers are already prepared. Why don't we attack the imperial court before it takes any action?"
"My Lord! I am willing to lead my army to launch a surprise attack on Handan!
"I want to go too!"
"."
All the men were excited.
This is the most obvious difference between these people and real generals. For these rough guys who have never studied military tactics, head-on fighting is their most direct method.
But how could Lin Zhongyun allow them to do whatever they want?
Although in recent days, as his reputation has grown, more and more refugees have come to him for help, and the number of soldiers under his command has reached nearly 30,000.
But the imperial court has a total of 50,000 troops.
And my fighting power must be far superior to theirs, and I will definitely die in a head-on confrontation!
Even with a sharp battle formation and high morale, it is absolutely impossible to win!
Lin Zhongyun naturally knew this.
In fact, what Lin Zhongyun needs most now is not to capture the city again, but to develop well!
Whether it is a problem with the sweet potato seeds or the combat effectiveness of his soldiers, it takes a certain amount of time to train properly.
But the question is how to gain this time?
It was impossible for Lin Zhongyun to agree to any conditions of the court. Even if it was a false surrender, everything he had done before would be in vain.
While thinking, Lin Zhongyun first calmed the emotions of the soldiers.
Immediately, he called out the system in his mind and reported on the news that the governor was coming to envoy today and that the imperial court might mobilize troops soon.
And add text.
"Brothers, there is a huge gap between our army and the imperial court. How can we break the impasse? Buy us some time?"
