Lin Xiaoyun laughed twice and waved his hands in a pretended magnanimity: "General Ye, it's okay to say it. My two brothers are all ears."
"Well..." Ye Feiyu nodded and said directly: "It stands to reason that my Ming armor is worth two million..."
"Don't say I'm lending you 100,000, it's just 200,000 or 300,000. What's the harm?"
"However, our army is different from yours...it is well-equipped and well-trained, and it is also respected by the people in the country."
"Especially sophisticated firearms and equipment, traditional and old-fashioned generals like you can't lead..."
"These equipments are the top secrets of our Ming Dynasty. His Majesty the Emperor has already decreed that they must not be exposed, so... it is probably difficult to borrow troops."
"Furthermore, I'll put it bluntly, you two...well...there were more than 300,000 people back then, and with the support of national public opinion, you were no match for the Xiang Jiajun."
"Borrowing these 100,000 soldiers... Hehe... I guess it's enough to win."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of brothers Lin Xiaofeng and Lin Xiaoyun became extremely ugly.
Ye Feiyu's meaning is very clear. First, our Ming Dynasty's army is different from your motley crew. It cannot be commanded at your level.
Second, the weapons and equipment of our army are top secret and cannot be used by you.
Third, with your level of command, you occupy the commanding heights of public opinion and have the support of the people across the country.
If you can't defeat someone with more than 300,000 yuan and more than 200,000 yuan, what will happen even if I give you an army of 100,000 yuan?
Although these words were blunt and unpleasant, making the two of them want to have a fit on the spot, but they were all true and they could not find any reason to refute him.
Looking at the two princes of Yan, whose faces were turning blue and white, Li Yu wanted to laugh in her heart.
But he still deliberately reprimanded: "General Ye...how can you speak like this!"
After saying that, he turned to Lin Xiaoyun and cupped his hands and said: "You two princes, don't be surprised. General Ye is such an outspoken person, and he is not deliberately making things difficult."
"It's just... whether what General Ye said is unreasonable or not, this is also the fact before everyone."
"It is true that our army cannot be borrowed from abroad, and its combat methods are completely different from our old army."
"And judging from the current situation, let alone one hundred thousand troops, I'm afraid even two hundred thousand troops will probably not help."
Hearing this, the two of them sighed helplessly. Although they wanted to refute, they had no reason.
He had no choice but to say: "Hey...yeah, it's all my brothers' incompetence."
"I wonder what you two have to say, Governor and General? Please give me your advice. Saving me is like fire or water."
Li Yu smiled and took out a letter from his arms: "You two, this is a letter written by my Majesty to you two."
"Among them, the current situation is analyzed in detail and the future direction of the situation is also predicted."
"After comprehensive consideration, I have made some small suggestions for the two princes... They are just suggestions and have no other intentions."
"The prince can consider it comprehensively before making a decision!"
With that said, he handed over the letter. Seeing this, Lin Xiaoyun quickly took it with both hands and was about to open it, but saw Li Yu reaching out to stop it.
He smiled and said: "Two princes, please wait... My Majesty has a verbal message. This letter can only be read by the two princes alone. I and I are just messengers."
"Now that the task is completed, it's time for the two of us to leave. If there is any problem, the prince can send someone to Shuozhou to contact me."
Looking at each other with Ye Feiyu, the two stood up together and saluted Lin Xiaofeng and Lin Xiaoyun brothers: "My lord, stay here, I will wait for you... Take your leave!"
After saying that, he turned around and exited the big tent.
Lin Xiaoyun hurriedly ordered his servants to send them off. After they were far away, he couldn't wait to open the envelope, unfold the letter and read it with Lin Xiaofeng.
I saw what was written on the letter: "Lin Xiaoyun, the loyal king of Great Yan, personally signed it by Lin Xiaofeng."
"In today's world, the three kingdoms of the Western Regions and the Northern Plains of Daxia have all returned to the Ming Dynasty. The defeated Xiang thieves fled to the Yan territory and became a disaster for one party."
"Now, I want to wipe out the Xiang thieves and pacify the world, and I also want the land of Yan to belong to my Ming Dynasty."
"In today's situation, the Xiang thief holds the emperor in order to order the princes, and the Lin family's world has already become the Xiang family's world."
"The two princes are at the end of their rope. I am afraid that within a month, they will be defeated by the Xiang family."
"Just imagine, what will happen if you are defeated in battle for the prince? You will die in defeat, and your body and body will be dismembered right before your eyes."
"Now, I intend to attack the Xiang thieves, save the lives of the two of them, and at the same time ensure that they will be prosperous and wealthy for the rest of their lives, and that their titles will be hereditary from generation to generation."
"If you two are interested, please inform the governor of Shuozhou and I will make my own arrangements."
"If you two are unintentional, I will still attack the Xiang thieves with more than two million armors and sophisticated weapons! But at that time, you two will also be enemies."
"So, I ask you both to consider carefully whether you want to save your life and live in prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life."
"He was defeated and died, and there was no one to pay homage after his death..."
"Finally, I would like to warn you two that your remaining soldiers are not of much value to our Ming Dynasty."
"I just want you two to take the lead after you return and surrender, so that all the princes in the Yan realm will surrender after hearing the news, saving you some trouble, that's all."
"If we can't cooperate, I will just waste a few more cannonballs. I ask you two to think clearly."
"I will give you two fifteen days to think about it."
After reading this letter, Lin Xiaofeng and Lin Xiaoyun collapsed on the ground. This is really a wolf in front and a tiger in the back.
I thought that this time the Ming Dynasty sent an envoy to get some benefits at most, but the worst psychological preparation they made was to cede the country.
Even if you only give him two states, if that doesn't work, you can pay tribute every year and become a minister year after year.
As long as the Ming Dynasty can send troops to help you settle the Xiang family, you can do it!
Unexpectedly, Daming didn't care about this petty profit at all.
What people care about is the entire country of Dayan.
The letter makes it very clear that when I discuss this matter with you, I just feel that you two are princes, have some influence among the officials of the Yan Kingdom, and can play a leading role, that's all.
I, the Ming Dynasty's two million elite soldiers, look down upon the tens of thousands of remnants and defeated generals under your command.
If you agree, then I will give you two hereditary idle titles. You will have no real power, but at least you will be able to live in prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life, and will not cut off the roots of your old Lin family.
But it doesn't matter if you two disagree, it doesn't matter whether you die in the hands of the Xiang family or the Ming army.
It's nothing more than using more cannonballs and firing more bullets.
This is really in line with the saying, if you want to be decent, then let me be decent. If you are not decent, then let me help you be decent.
Lin Xiaofeng and Lin Xiaoyun held the letter in their hands and sat on the ground blankly for a long time without responding.
Now they had only two choices before them, either to be defeated and killed or captured, or to die in the end.
Otherwise, cooperate with the Ming Dynasty and become an idle nobleman when things are done. At least you can be prosperous and wealthy for the rest of your life.
