Episode 10 Chapter 464

Chapter 464

Bai Rong ignored the dissuasion of the surrounding soldiers, rode on a war horse, and with only two personal guards, ordered the city gate to be opened and walked outside the city.

The moment the city gate opened, Li Jin, who had been worried, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If Bai Rong wanted to kill him, he could have let the defenders at the top of the city shoot arrows, and he would have no chance of escaping. Now that the city gate is open, it means that Bai Rong really wants to see him.

When Bai Rong came to Li Jin with two confidant guards, the latter hurriedly got off his horse and walked forward quickly. Seeing clearly that the two guards Bai Rong brought were his confidants, Li Jin felt relieved. He said emotionally: "Old Bai, it's really hard to see you now."

Bai Rong took a closer look. Isn't this Li Jin or who is he in front of him?

He also dismounted and stood in front of Li Jin. He held the sword on his waist with one hand and pinched his waist with the other. He looked at Li Jin sideways, sneered and said, "Hey, General Li, you still remember." I am deeply honored!"

As soon as he heard his sinister tone, Li Jin knew that he must be angry with himself.

The two were old friends, so there was no need to talk in roundabout ways. Li Jin sighed softly and asked directly: "Are you angry with me for leaving without saying goodbye and suddenly joining Feng Guo?"

"Why do you ask questions knowingly?" Bai Rong said angrily.

"There's nothing I can do about it!" Li Jin shook his head and said, "The king only gave me 200,000 troops, but he asked me to capture the Zhenjiang naval camp where more than 100,000 soldiers were stationed. Let alone fight a tough battle, even if It was a head-on battle between legions, and it was difficult for our side to win. I had done everything I could and should do, but I was still defeated by the Feng army. If I returned to the capital, your Majesty would punish me severely. , I really have no choice but to defect to Feng Jun, which is something I didn’t expect in advance..."

Before he could finish his words, Bai Rong laughed angrily and asked: "You didn't expect it in advance? You just led the army to defect at the front, and all the family members behind you disappeared. How dare you say that you didn't do a good job?" Prepare? Do you think I’m a fool?”

Li Jin waved his hands repeatedly and said seriously: "Old Bai, you have misunderstood Brother Yu this time!" As he spoke, he led his troops into battle, how to attack the Feng Army, how to suffer the Feng Army's night attack, and how to get Zhang Rong Tell the story of the assistance exactly.

Finally, he said meaningfully: "You and I have been friends for decades. If Brother Yu really had the intention to defect to Feng Guo beforehand, how could he not discuss it with you, brother? How could he not drag you with me, brother?" Go and seek refuge with Feng Guo? After so many years of being together, you don’t know what Brother Yu is like?”

Bai Rong fell into silence after hearing this. Thinking about it carefully, what Li Jin said was reasonable. If Li Jin didn't trust him and didn't treat him as a confidant and brother, he probably wouldn't take the risk to come to see him alone now.

He pondered for a long time, and finally his tone softened a lot, and asked with concern: "After Brother Li defected to Feng Kingdom, how did King Feng treat you?"

Hearing that his tone was no longer as tit-for-tat as when they first met, Li Jin understood that his words had already moved Bai Rong.

He smiled slightly and said: "His Royal Highness Feng Wang treated me with great kindness. Instead of punishing me, he even made me a general. You must know that Feng Kingdom does not have the position of general. If you can be a general, you are already a soldier. The first of them all.”

The rumors turned out to be true, and Li Jin was actually made a general after he switched sides. Bai Rong's heart moved, and the expression on his face became uncertain. Before he could answer, Li Jin asked anxiously: "Old Bai, have any traces of Brother Yu's family members been searched?"

Bai Rong shook his head and said, "There has been no news."

After a pause, he asked curiously: "The king has ordered a city-wide search, but there has been no news at all for so many days. I thought Brother Li had taken his family out of the city. What's the matter? My wife, sister-in-law, and the others are still in the city." ?"

Li Jin nodded with a wry smile. Bai Rong asked hurriedly: "Where is it?" Li Jin shrugged and said: "This... Brother Yu doesn't know either..."

"What? Brother Li doesn't even believe me?"

"It's not that Brother Yu doesn't believe you, it's that Brother Yu really doesn't know where they are now! Lord Zhang asked Feng Guo Xizuo in the city to handle the matter of settling Brother Yu's family. Later, only the news that the placement was complete was spread, and there was no other news. The news came out.”

"I see." Bai Rong believed that Li Jin would not deceive him about this matter. Li Jin must also want to know where his family is, so that he can take care of it.

He asked: "I don't know...Brother Li came to see me this time. What's the important matter?"

"Brother Yu came here specifically to persuade you to join me in joining the Feng Kingdom." Li Jin took a deep breath and whispered, "Old Bai, I believe you can also see that the strength of the Mo Kingdom is exhausted, and Zhenjiang cannot be defended for long. The city will be destroyed sooner or later. Instead of being buried with Shao Fang, it is better to find a way for yourself! Switch sides as soon as the war is not over, otherwise it may be too late to switch sides when the capital is broken. "

In front of an old friend who knew everything about him, Bai Rong no longer pretended to be aloof. He frowned and said: "Brother Li is a dignified general. He has a high prestige both inside and outside the court. It is inevitable that the Wind King can reuse Brother Li." , But brother, I can't do it. I want prestige but no prestige, and I want credit but no merit. How can the Wind King reuse me?"

Li Jin was happy and said: "Old Bai, don't belittle yourself. You are a lieutenant general of a country. Besides, Brother Yu is here to create opportunities for you to perform meritorious service."

"Oh?" Bai Rong's eyes lit up and he asked, "Brother Li, tell me what you want me to do?"

"Lead the East City to surrender to the Feng Kingdom!" Li Jin narrowed his eyes and said, "With the strength of the Fengyu coalition, it is not difficult to break the city. What I am afraid of is that if we attack by force, the damage will be great. If you can lead the East City defenders to surrender and let the Fengyu coalition enter the capital without bloodshed, that will be a great achievement. I can't guarantee anything else, but I can guarantee that you will continue to be a lieutenant general in Feng Kingdom. In the future, when Mo Kingdom is incorporated into Feng Kingdom, Feng Kingdom needs someone to preside over the overall situation in Mo Di, and I am the best choice. At that time, brother, you follow me, and Mo Di will be the greatest of the two brothers, with endless glory and wealth!"

Hearing this, Bai Rong felt that his body was light, as if he was stepping on the clouds. What Li Jin said was very likely.

In the future, if Feng State wants to govern Modi, it will never use Feng people, but only Mo people. Among the Mo people, no one is more suitable than Li Jin. As long as Li Jin can rise to prominence, with his friendship with him, his future will definitely not be too bad.

However, it is not easy to lead the entire East City garrison to surrender. Even though he is the commander of East City, he still has a large number of generals who are loyal to Shao Fang. These people will be a big trouble for him.

He rolled his eyes and murmured, "Brother Li, let me think about this carefully."

"Hey, brother, what are you still thinking about? Do you still think that I will deceive you?" Li Jin said anxiously.

"That's not the case, but Brother Li should know that Ding Bo, Yan Song and others are all from Shao Fang's family, and they are loyal to Shao Fang, and now, they are all in Dongcheng!"

Shao Fang dispersed his trusted military generals and civil officials who were from his family to various cities to help him supervise the chief generals of each city. Li Jin certainly knew about it. The latter smiled grimly and said, "The first to strike is the strongest, and the last to strike will suffer. Before surrendering, find an opportunity to get rid of these people together, isn't it? As long as they die, the soldiers below are not a concern at all."

"Well! Brother Li makes sense." Bai Rong nodded thoughtfully.

It is indeed not difficult to find an opportunity to kill those Shao Fang confidants in Dongcheng. After all, most of the soldiers in the army have no good feelings for these country bumpkins who came from the bottom and rose to prominence only because of the grace of the king.

After getting Bai Rong's approval, Li Jin asked with a happy face: "So, Lao Bai, you agree?"

Bai Rong was happy and said: "Brother Li has already surrendered to Feng State, so of course I will follow Brother Li and defect together."

Li Jin laughed, patted Bai Rong's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Good! You are worthy of being my brother, Li Jin, and we live and die together, and advance and retreat together."

As he spoke, he reached behind the saddle, picked up a small cloth bag, handed it to Bai Rong, and said: "In this extraordinary period, if you stay out of the city for too long, you may arouse suspicion. Lao Bai, go back to the city quickly!"

Bai Rong took the cloth bag handed over by Li Jin, feeling light and fluttering. He looked down and asked curiously: "Brother Li, what is this?"

"There is a piece of silk cloth inside. Tomorrow morning, you will spread the silk cloth in a secluded place where no one is around. At that time, the falcon released by the Feng Army will come down and pass the news to you." Li Jin warned worriedly: "Don't let anyone see it!"

Wow! The Feng Army actually used falcons to pass the news! This really surprised Bai Rong.

The latter nodded, carefully put away the cloth bag, and said: "Brother Li, don't worry. There is a yard where I live now. You can spread it in the yard. No one dares to come in without my permission."

"That's great!" Li Jin said with a smile: "Go back quickly! I think we will meet again in the city."

"Brother Li, please also speak well of me in front of His Royal Highness Feng Wang!" "Of course. I have said that if there is my brother, there will be your brother." "Thank you very much, Brother Li!" "Why are you being polite to me, Old Bai? Goodbye!" "Goodbye!"

Li Jin successfully persuaded Bai Rong. After the two parted ways, he hurriedly rode his warhorse, turned his horse's head, and ran back to the camp of the Fengyu coalition.

When he saw Tang Yin and reported the details, Tang Yin was overjoyed, looked up and laughed, and praised: "General Li did a good job! If our army can successfully break the city, General Li should be the first credit!"
