I am a corrupt official, but they say I am a loyal minister

"My lord, this matter is absolutely wrong. It will alarm the court, and it may disrupt General Zhao's actions! Let's wait patiently, maybe it will be over soon!"

"Okay, my lord wait a little longer!"

In this way, the night passed quickly, and the sky was bright.

Chapter 274 Those who look down on you have already met Hades!

Jiangnan Wang and Wang Fugui looked at each other in blank dismay.

Jiangnan Wang was silent for a moment, looking at Wang Fugui's face with faint eyes: "Fugui, what do you think General Zhao is doing? You said he acted when it was dark, but now it's dawn and everyone is full of sleep. , I have eaten breakfast, how can I still fight?"

Wang Fugui was sweating profusely, and stammered, "My lord, General Zhao may be...General Zhao may be... think that sneak attacks at night are too common, so change it to daytime and be caught off guard!"

"Fart! Look at me, something went wrong!" Jiangnan Wang said angrily.

Wang Fugui shrank his head from being scolded.

The Jiangnan King continued to say angrily: "General Zhao has always been prudent in his work. He knows that we are waiting outside. If there is no action, he will definitely convey the news. Let me rest assured! There has been no news until now, something must have happened! Extremely It is possible...he has already been captured by the people of the court!"

Wang Fugui said anxiously: "My lord, what should we do now?"

"Of course we... withdraw now!" Jiang Nanwang said with a trace of unwillingness and urgency: "General Zhao and others have been arrested. We may have been exposed now. The situation is very unfavorable to us! So, we withdraw immediately!"

As soon as the words were finished, a soldier came running from a distance, and said in a panic, "Report to the lord, something is wrong! There are a large number of imperial soldiers and horses in the southeast direction, and they are rushing towards me!"

Jiangnan Wang's expression changed.

After a while, another soldier ran away, and said in the same panic: "Report to the prince, something is wrong! There are a large number of imperial soldiers and horses in the southwest direction, and they are rushing towards our army!"

Jiangnan Wang's expression changed again.

Then, a few more soldiers came running, their faces equally flustered.

"Reporting to the prince, something is wrong! A large number of 410 court soldiers and horses were found in the east..."

"Report to the prince, a large number of court soldiers and horses were found in the west..."

……

Jiangnan Wang's expression changed again and again.

Every time it changes, the complexion becomes paler.

Finally, he gritted his teeth: "Damn it! This king already knows that we have been exposed and surrounded by imperial soldiers!"

Wang Fugui asked anxiously: "My lord, what should we do now?"

"It's not too late to kill this king!" Jiang Nan Wang shouted fiercely.

"Yes, my lord!" Everyone responded in unison.

So Jiangnan Wang Shuai led the crowd and killed them in one direction.

They were very shrewd, they didn't run directly to the direction of Jiangnan, but chose to make a circle and escape back to Jiangnan.

The soldiers and horses of the imperial court chased after him, intercepted along the way, set up obstacles layer by layer, and used all available forces to kill the King of Jiangnan without a way to go to heaven or to go to earth.

Fortunately, King Jiangnan was protected by experts, otherwise he would have died long ago.

This chase lasted a whole week.

Although Jiangnan Wang still ran back to Jiangnan, he lost dozens of catties and collapsed.

As for the soldiers and horses he brought, except for a few thousand elites who ran back with him, all of them died on the road.

Coupled with the soldiers who disappeared silently in Gongxu Mountain, the loss of troops reached more than 8 people!

Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles!

The matter quickly spread and became a joke all over the world.

"King Jiangnan, stealing chickens won't cost you a lot of rice! I wanted to grab food, but I turned my soldiers into it!"

"More than 8 soldiers and horses were paid in this way, and not a single grain was caught. It made me feel so distressed, haha!"

"It is said that the king of Jiangnan had no intention of letting his own people pretend to be ordinary people to sneak into Gongxu Mountain to grab food from inside and outside, but the court saw through it, arrested them easily, and gave away 5 heads for nothing!"

"And myself, waiting outside like a fool, feeding the mosquitoes all night!"

"I was chased and killed by the imperial soldiers and horses for more than 1000 miles, and there were not many people left, and everyone lost weight!"

"After going back, the king of Jiangnan was so angry that he shut himself up, haha!"

……

The land of northern Hebei, the palace.

King Jibei looked at the latest battle report and leaned forward and backward with a smile.

"Royal brother, royal brother, you have never suffered anything in your life, and you were chased and killed for thousands of miles. You lost all the fat on your body, and you died laughing because of your brother... No, I feel so distressed, haha !"

Mr. Zhuge smiled all over his face: "Congratulations, my lord! Congratulations to my lord! Such a simple move to kill someone with a sword will cost the king of Jiangnan a lot of troops and generals, and the threat will be greatly reduced!"

"It should be said that everyone is happy!" Ji Bei Wang smiled redly: "I heard that this plan was proposed by Lin Jun?"

Mr. Zhuge immediately said: "Yes, my lord! Miss Rushuang said in the letter that the plan was indeed proposed by the governor Lin Beifan, and he was the one who presented to the court and proposed a good solution. He has made great contributions!"

King Jibei smiled from ear to ear: "Not bad, not bad, Mr. Lin has done a good thing for this king, and there will be a lot of rewards!"

"But my lord, our palace doesn't have that much money anymore..."

"If you don't have money, you will be rewarded. This king is happy, haha!"

The land of Wuxi, the palace.

Knowing this, King Wuxi smiled even more happily.

"Brother Huang, Brother Huang, you have your day too! Back then, you laughed at me for being played around by a group of mud legs, but in the end you are worse than this king. You sent soldiers and horses directly to the court, and you were hunted down for thousands of miles... haha ..."

"I didn't get the food, and lost 8 soldiers and horses. I lost all face. It must be very heartbreaking, right? Haha..."

King Wuxi suddenly shouted to the outside: "Come here!"

"Your Highness, what are your orders?"

King Wuxi covered his stomach and laughed: "Send that bell back to me, and comfort my brother! Tell him, even if he has nothing in the end, I will give him the bell, haha!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

In the court of Dawu, the empress also smiled happily.

This Jiangnan King has caused him many troubles, and this time he has taken off a layer of skin, let's see if he dares to mess around again in the future?

Looking at Lin Beifan with a pleasant face: "Aiqing, you have made another great contribution, how do you think I will reward you?"

All of a sudden, the whole court was full of envious and jealous eyes.

However, Lin Beifan was very calm: "Your Majesty, there is no need to reward this small contribution. When you accumulate enough in the future, it will not be too late to be promoted!"

Everyone is so angry that their mouths are crooked and their eyes are squinting. Is this a small contribution?

You are too ordinary, hit you!

The Empress smiled and said, "Okay! I'll save it for you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Beifan cupped his hands.

The Empress said solemnly: "Now, outside, we have defeated the Great Xia Dynasty and deterred all enemies outside! Inside, we have defeated the King of Jiangnan, causing him to lose troops and generals, and deter all the princes! On the rivers and lakes, we have gone through many martial arts battles. The catastrophe has now become stable! The current situation is greatly beneficial to my court!"

"So, dear friends, we should take advantage of this quiet time to develop vigorously and continue to accumulate strength! The stronger we are, the less the enemy will dare to cause trouble! One punch is opened, so as to avoid a hundred punches!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" All the officials responded.

After leaving the early court, Lin Beifan did not go to the Yamen of Detian Mansion, nor did he go to the Guozijian. Instead, he came to the prison, where he saw Prince Xia Qiong who was imprisoned deep in the dungeon.

"Long time no see, Your Highness! You look much more energetic!" Lin Beifan laughed.

The Great Xia Prince Xia Qiong was indeed much more energetic, and seemed to have regained his former glory.

The reason for this is that the imperial court did not treat him badly. They gave him the best food and clothes, and even the dungeon was decorated to make it look very comfortable and enjoyable.

Except for the restriction of movement, all treatment is according to the prince.

"Master Lin, you are here!" Xia Qiong put down the book in his hand, and looked at Lin Beifan peacefully.

No hatred, no anger, very calm.

But in this calmness, there was a trace of unspeakable fear hidden.

He couldn't understand why he felt scared when he saw Lin Beifan, and the happier he smiled, the more scared he was.

The other party is obviously just a scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken.

"It seems, Your Highness, you have already thought about it!" Lin Beifan laughed.

"What can I do if I can't think about it? Everything is a foregone conclusion!" Xia Qiong smiled bitterly.

Lin Beifan nodded: "That's right, everything is a foregone conclusion! The Daxia court has admitted its failure, paid 1000 million taels in compensation, and redeemed the 60 surrendered troops in Hulao Pass! And promised to pay 3000 million taels of supplies as promised ! Now, the first batch of food has arrived in the capital!"

Xia Tianqiong sighed in pain: "I am Da Xia's sinner!"

This war indemnity hit them where they hurt.

Forget about the 1000 million taels, you can squeeze it out.

The main thing is supplies worth 3000 million taels, which is simply digging flesh and sucking blood from their Da Xia.

Without so many materials, the development of their Great Xia will definitely be restricted, the economy will be affected, the people's livelihood will wither, and the national strength will also weaken, affecting all aspects.

In contrast, the Dawu who obtained this material will quickly become stronger, and it will be difficult to fight again in the future.

Moreover, during this period, his younger brothers will definitely be restless and seize the opportunity to seize power, causing turmoil in the court and further weakening the national power of the building.

It can be said that because of him alone, the whole Great Xia was dragged down!

"Your Highness, have you ever regretted it now? If you were given another chance, would you still raise troops?" Lin Beifan asked.

Xia Tianqiong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "What's the point of talking about these things now? It's impossible to say that you don't regret it! However, if you give me another chance, I will still..."

He raised his head, stared at Lin Beifan with both eyes, and said word by word: "Let's fight!"

"However, before raising troops..." Xia Qiong pointed at Lin Beifan: "I must kill you first! If I don't kill you, I will never send troops!"

Lin Beifan smiled: "Your Highness, you really think highly of an official!"

"Because those who look down on me have already met the King of Hades! If it weren't for Bengong's body being useful, the grass on the grave might have already grown!"

Lin Beifan laughed loudly: "Your Highness, you are so humorous!"

"This is not humor, but... the truth!" Xia Tianqiong's mouth was bitter.

Chapter 275 Only by keeping Dawu can I keep my greedy soil!

Great Xia Prince Xia Qiong had already overestimated Lin Beifan as much as possible, but he still underestimated him by a large margin!

Think back then, when he led 80 troops to Hulao Pass, how high-spirited and complacent he was!

Then, he guessed the beginning, but not the end.

In just two or three days, he was already defeated by Lin Beifan, a crushing defeat!

20 troops shed blood, and 60 troops were captured!

The 35 geniuses brought here were all killed!

Even he himself became a prisoner and a bargaining chip in Dawu's negotiations!

But the other party, relying on this monstrous contribution, was promoted to a rank and even conferred a title.

Afterwards, the two countries negotiated, and the other party was good at dancing with both sides, and exploited them completely, and planted a huge hidden danger for him in the future of Daxia!

It can be said that Lin Beifan saved Dawu by himself, and at the same time dragged Daxia into the quagmire-!

Then think about what he has done for Dawu over the past year.

He did it, he did what he said at the beginning!

"Dawu's sky is falling, let me take it up! Dawu's spine is broken, let me pick it up! Dawu's energy is exhausted, let me continue! As long as I am still in Dawu, I will do my best to continue the Dawu Kingdom Zuo!"

Thinking about it now, it is still deafening!
