Inside the Chinese army's tent.
Ying Yuqian had a smile on his face and was playing chess with Lin Feng again.
Lin Feng grimaced and looked helpless. He doesn't want to play chess with Ying Yuqian, because Ying Yuqian is a bad chess player who loves to play chess even though his skills are poor. However, Bai Cejun, Wang Lie and others did not play chess at all, so Ying Yugan only asked him to play chess.
Even if Lin Feng used urine to escape and for various reasons, he was still caught.
There's no way to avoid it.
In the end, Lin Feng simply gave up and obeyed the arrangement.
While the two were playing chess, the curtain of the camp tent was lifted, and a rush of footsteps was heard. The soldier lifted the curtain and entered, bowing and saying: "Your Highness, the envoy of the State of Qi, Liu Gui, has come outside the camp to ask for an audience."
Ying Yuqian's brows rose, and there was a smile on his face.
Come quickly.
Not even a few days had passed before people had already arrived outside the military camp.
Ying Yuqian looked at the situation on the chessboard and saw that he was about to lose. He stretched out his hand and touched the chessboard, disturbing the chess pieces. He smiled and said: "Lin Feng, Liu Gui is here. If I remember correctly, he is your senior brother. This person, Do you want to leave it to dry for now?”
"There's no need to show off, it's pointless."
Lin Feng shook his head. He was relieved when he saw Ying Yugan messing up the chessboard.
It just so happened that he didn't even want to play chess anymore.
Lin Feng continued: "Father-in-law, Liu Gui came here this time to ask for something. If we leave him alone, we will only delay our own time. The content of our negotiation with him is actually very simple. If we meet our conditions, then Tian He can be released.”
"It would be great if we could capture Jizhou without any bloodshed. Once Qi rejects our conditions, Qin will not hesitate to fight. Although Liu Gui is my senior brother, public and private matters should not be confused together."
"If they are lumped together, it wouldn't be public use for private use."
On weekdays, Lin Feng and Ying Yuqian always call their father-in-law when they are together.
This is a personal title.
In formal occasions, it is naturally the title of the relationship between monarch and minister.
Ying Yuqian nodded and said in a deep voice: "I'm a little worried. Qi State only gives a certain price and cannot give us the conditions."
Lin Feng chuckled and said, "My father-in-law is too worried."
Ying Yuqian asked: "What do you mean?"
Lin Feng explained: "Actually, it's very simple. We hold Tian He and have the initiative in the negotiations. If the Qi State does not agree with our conditions, then let the people from Heibingtai spread the news in Linzi and talk about it. The ministers in charge of the country have no sincerity in negotiating and would rather let the emperor become a prisoner outside than exchange for the emperor."
"Qi State has just taken control of Jizhou, and its foundation is not deep."
"The people of Qi State do not have much sense of identity with Jizhou, nor do they feel that it belongs to Qi State. Under this premise, the people of Qi State will be willing to our conditions. Once Qi State does not agree, we will spread the news , public opinion was in an uproar, and Yan Zichu and Tian Yu, who were in power, could not withstand public criticism due to their reputation."
"Without the emperor, the government is already in turmoil. If they continue to delay and disagree, many people will criticize them."
"If they don't want to, they have to be willing."
"Today, Tian Yu and Yan Zichu are facing pressure not only from within the country, but also from our country of Qin."
Lin Feng looked confident and said firmly: "So father-in-law does not have to worry about the conditions of the negotiation. This negotiation will definitely succeed. The issue we have to consider is how to take over Jizhou after taking over."
Ying Yugan smiled and said: "I have sent a letter back. On the one hand, I will report the results of this battle to my father. On the other hand, I will ask my father to arrange for a large number of officials to come to the front line to prepare to take over the city ceded by Qi."
"In the letter, I did not mention how much land Qi could cede. I just asked my father to arrange more people to govern the place. The general personnel structure is at least the governor of a state and many county governors."
Ying Yuqian said: "The arrival of these people in Jizhou is enough to ensure operation."
"My father-in-law is wise!"
A smile appeared on Lin Feng's face.
With Ying Yuqian's arrangement, things will be easier to handle. Negotiations will still take a certain amount of time, and even if the negotiations are completed, Qi will still need some time to arrange.
Today, there's plenty of buffer time.
Ying Yuqian said: "You will be responsible for the negotiation. Just ask someone to bring Liu Gui to your camp."
"Here!!"
Lin Feng answered directly.
The negotiations involved are not difficult.
He got up and left the Chinese army's tent, returned to his commander's tent, and arranged for someone to bring Liu Gui in.
Liu Gui had been waiting at the entrance of the camp for a while, thinking that he might be left hanging. Fortunately, it didn't take long before someone came to take him in. Just entering the camp, Liu Gui was very surprised to see that the person who met him was Lin Feng.
Why is it Lin Feng?
He already understood clearly that the person in charge of the Qin army was the Prince of Qin, Ying Yuqian, and Lin Feng was just the military commander.
It is the prince of Qin who wants to receive him.
Although Liu Gui was Lin Feng's senior brother, from the bottom of his heart, he was a little afraid of Lin Feng.
At this point, Liu Gui had no choice but to step forward and salute, bowing and saying: "Liu Gui, envoy of the State of Qi, pays homage to Commander Lin."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Senior brother, there is no need to be polite, sit down."
Liu Gui relaxed a little and said directly: "Commander Lin, I am here as an envoy on behalf of the State of Qi, hoping to exchange for His Majesty the State of Qi. But before that, I hope to see His Majesty the State of Qi, and I sincerely ask Commander Lin for permission."
He is still called Lin Shuai.
After all, Lin Feng is the coach of the Qin Army, and this is a business matter, not a personal matter.
Lin Feng nodded and said, "I'll make some arrangements for senior brother. Someone, bring Tian He here."
Lin Feng gave the order.
Liu Gui said quickly: "Commander Lin, can you let me speak to Your Majesty alone?"
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly with a trace of scrutiny: "I am making an exception by allowing senior brother to see Tian He. Under normal circumstances, I would at most let you take a look at Tian He from a distance to know whether he is alive or dead. Worry, if you are not abused, it is God's arrangement. But I have already done my best to have Tian He brought here."
Liu Gui smiled and thanked him: "I was the one who put Lin Shuai in a difficult situation."
Lin Feng nodded and said no more.
Liu Gui is indeed his senior brother, and they have a brotherhood. However, when it comes to Qin's interests, it is impossible for Lin Feng to abolish the official position for personal reasons and let Liu Gui see Tian He alone.
This cannot be allowed.
In everything, Qin’s interests should come first.
This is a principle that Lin Feng must abide by, and no exceptions can be made.
Liu Gui stopped talking and waited quietly. After a short time, Tian He was brought in. Tian He's clothes were a little messy and his hair was a mess. The moment he saw Liu Gui, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Liu Qing, are you here to welcome me back home?"
"King Langya and the Prime Minister arranged for me to go on an envoy to negotiate with the State of Qin, and they will get your Majesty back."
Liu Gui said seriously: "Your Majesty, it may take a little longer. However, please take care of yourself."
"Okay, okay, okay."
Tian He's face was full of excitement.
He was relieved to know the situation in the country. During this period, Tian He couldn't eat well or sleep well, and he was even more worried about Tian Yu and Yan Zi's first meeting to establish a new king. If Tian Yu and Yan Zichu wanted to support someone else, Tian He would have no way to stop them.
Tian Yu is the king of Langya.
Yan Zichu was the prime minister.
Both of them were important ministers arranged by the late emperor to assist the government, and they both had high prestige in Qi State. If the two of them are determined to ignore Tian He, even if Tian He promotes many confidants, these people will not be their opponents.
Now, Tian He has no worries.
Lin Feng ordered: "Now that we are all at ease, let's stop here. Someone, bring Tian He back."
"Here!"
The soldiers stepped forward and went down with Tian He.
"Liu Qing, thank you for everything."
When Tian He walked out of the tent, there were still sounds coming in.
Liu Gui took a deep breath, calmed down, and said seriously: "Commander Lin, I am here as an envoy on behalf of the State of Qi. I hope that the State of Qin will release your majesty."
Lin Feng asked: "Brother, Qin is a state of etiquette. We have no intention of detaining Tian He and are willing to release Tian He. But what are the conditions of Qi?"
