The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 213 Hamba Alliance
Zhang Ping raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a smile: "Two such stunning women appeared in this barren mountain. They know that I am obsessed with music, and they also know my name. If they didn't deliberately lure me here, what are they doing?"

"Ha ha."

Su Lin chuckled lightly and did not deny it.

That's right, Zhang Ping was indeed deliberately lured here, because Su Lin wanted to discuss something important with Zhang Ping.

Knowing that Zhang Ping is obsessed with rhythm, he arranged for Sima Lanting, who is the most proficient in rhythm, to do this game.

"That's right, I do have something I want to talk to General Zhang about." Su Lin smiled lightly and looked at Zhang Ping with great interest.

Zhang Ping raised his eyelids, and said with a sneer, "You were sent by the leader of the traitors. Is there anything for your leader to say, what do you two girls talk to this old man? I don't take this old man seriously. Do you think this old man will be tricked by a beauty?"

"The leader of the traitors?" Su Lin murmured, and said with a chuckle: "This name is not bad, I am the leader of the traitors you said, and the city of Seoul is waiting for Su Lin."

"you?"

Zhang Ping stared, startled, looked at Su Lin carefully, shook his head, "Impossible."

How could a weak woman be able to control such a powerful force?

"If you don't believe the general, you can ask them." Su Lin smiled and pointed at the militiamen outside.

Zhang Ping glanced out, then looked at Su Lin with a frown, thinking that Su Lin had no reason to lie to him.

Then he thought of something and sneered, "Just treat it as you are, but if you report your identity, aren't you throwing yourself into a trap? There are ten thousand elite soldiers under the old man's mountain. Aren't you afraid that if I give an order, your heads will fall to the ground?" ?"

Su Lin shook his head slightly, "General Zhang won't, because the general is about to face a catastrophe, so he shouldn't do such a stupid thing."

"Impending disaster? Stupid thing?"

Zhang Ping frowned and said with a sneer, "You and I are enemies at war, so are you really not afraid of death?"

"At this time and at that time, what is our enmity compared to the danger of destroying the country?" Su Lin picked up the bronze wine cup and took a sip.

"What exactly do you want to say?" Zhang Ping was a little impatient, feeling something was wrong.

"According to intelligence, the Shu Kingdom has dispatched [-] elite troops. It can be said that they are dispatching the entire country's troops to attack from the west and take Jiangcheng directly. This is to destroy the Ba Kingdom." Su Lin put down the bronze wine baron and chuckled. .

"What?" Zhang Ping was shocked and said in disbelief: "It's impossible. Ba and Shu are closely related. If Shu wants to destroy Ba, its own strength will be greatly damaged. Aren't you afraid that other countries will follow behind?"

Although Zhang Ping said that he didn't believe it, it was hard to guarantee that the state of Shu would be frantic and see that the state of Ba was weak, so it would have the heart to annex it.

"Whether it is true or not, the general sent a scout to find out. Moreover, General Zhang was defeated in Dacheng and decisively led his troops back to Jiangcheng. Wasn't it just to guard against Shu?" Su Lin continued.

Zhang Ping suddenly looked at Su Lin, and said coldly: "It's all because of you. If you hadn't captured Dacheng, my king would not have sent me to conquer it. Now that I have lost troops and generals, you are the main culprit. I will kill you." .”

Just about to get up, Hua Rong and others stood in front, only protecting Su Lin.

More than a dozen militiamen also raised their 'Mohist crossbows' to aim at Zhang Ping.

"Back off!" Su Lin said calmly.

"Here." Hua Rong nodded slightly and stepped aside without doubting his presence.

Su Lin stood up slowly, looked at Zhang Ping, who clenched his fists and his face was ashen, and took two steps forward.

Persuaded: "I captured Dacheng for a reason. It was Dacheng's lieutenant who killed me first, and I took revenge. But this is not important. Now that Ba is in danger of destroying the country, why don't we let go of our hatred and join forces to defeat the enemy How are you?"

"Work together to defeat the enemy?" Zhang Ping slowly loosened his fist and sneered: "I'm afraid you are not so kind, are you?"

"I don't want to be an enemy of Pakistan, I just want to turn an enemy into a friend. If I help Pakistan to resolve the crisis, I hope we can turn hostility into friendship."

Su Lin knew that it was not easy to destroy a country. Even if he tried his best to destroy the Ba Kingdom, there was also the Shu Kingdom, and then there was the Qin Kingdom, it was impossible to destroy them all.

It can only take advantage of it, develop slowly, and trade space for time.

Zhang Ping's face was gloomy, thinking about how to deal with it.

Su Lin occupied Dacheng, that is to say, controlled nearly [-]% of the land of Ba, and it was impossible to swallow it all in one gulp.

Even if you swallow it, you can't keep it.

Therefore, it is necessary to make peace with Ba, and Ba has pressure from Shu and should weigh the pros and cons.

Zhang Ping's face was cloudy and uncertain, thinking about how to make a choice.

At present, the best way is to end the war with Su Lin and fight Shu with all strength, otherwise Ba will be in danger.

"Are you really willing to help us fight against Shu?"

Zhang Ping made a decision in his heart and raised his head to look at Su Lin.

"I can lead my troops to the north of Jiangcheng, and force Shu to retreat with a siege." Su Lin nodded slightly.

"Okay, I promise you, as long as we retreat from the Kingdom of Shu, we, the Kingdom of Ba, will not attack Dacheng within three years."

Zhang Ping can only guarantee it for three years, and what happens after that is beyond his control.

"Three years?" Su Lin muttered and nodded, "Three years is enough."

The two sides reached a preliminary agreement on this matter.

"In addition... I have one more condition." Zhang Ping changed the topic and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Please tell me what the conditions are." Su Lin frowned slightly, not liking the feeling of being coerced.

Zhang Ping looked beside Su Lin, smiled and said, "I want her." After speaking, he pointed to Sima Lanting.

Sima Lanting was sitting on his knees, watching the verbal exchange between Su Lin and Zhang Ping with admiration. He didn't expect that Zhang Ping would suddenly point at her and want her. His expression was stunned for a moment.

"I?"

Sima Lanting pointed at himself in disbelief.

"Yes, I don't know if Su Hou can give this luthier to the old man, so that the old man will agree to the alliance between the two parties."

Zhang Ping admires Sima Lanting very much. With his unparalleled piano skills and fresh and elegant appearance, he is Zhang Ping's dream confidante.

I was afraid that I would never see such a woman again in the future, so I took the opportunity to raise this condition.

Su Lin was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and shook his head lightly, "No."

After saying this, Sima Lanting breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to be treated as goods and given away.

It was normal for nobles in ancient times to send some dancers and singers. Zhang Ping didn't expect Su Lin to refuse.

His face darkened, and he said coldly: "Isn't Marquis Su afraid that the old man will not agree to the alliance?"

Su Lin chuckled, "What am I afraid of? Even if the Kingdom of Shu comes, I will attack Jiangcheng first. Then I will see whether the Kingdom of Ba will be destroyed first, or I, the big man, will be destroyed first."

Zhang Ping looked at Su Lin coldly, then laughed loudly and shook his head: "I'm just joking, just do what I said just now, I'll leave first."

After finishing speaking, he stood up, bowed his hands to Su Lin, took another deep look at Sima Lanting, and turned around abruptly to leave, very resolute without dragging his feet.

Now that he knew that Shu State was going to attack Jiangcheng, Zhang Ping couldn't stay here any longer.

After going down the mountain, he didn't intend to lead troops up the mountain to kill Su Lin.

Now Ba is in danger of destroying the country, and Su Lin is only occupying a city. In contrast, it is more important to defeat Shu first.

Hua Rong watched Zhang Ping go down the mountain, turned around and turned back, and said to Su Lin: "My lord, Zhang Ping has gone down the mountain, should we leave by the back mountain path?"

The main reason is that Zhang Ping will suddenly change his face after going down the mountain and lead troops to fight up.

Su Lin picked up the bronze wine jue again, took a sip of the fruit wine, and said calmly: "Don't worry, he won't do that."
