"Dongweng, what the Ming army needs is not money, but fame and people's hearts. So they must continue to fight no matter what."

Wu Liang's words awakened Liao Lin.

Yongli is going to compete for the world, so the people's hearts are very important to him.

So how to win the hearts of the people? Naturally, it is to constantly fight and win, so that the people can see hope.

This alone declares that Liao Lin's attempt failed.

He wanted to ride a fence, but now it seems that Ming Jun will not give him this opportunity.

"So Dongweng's most urgent task is to quickly decide who to do things for. Is it the Ming army or the Qing army, Yongli or Shunzhi."

In fact, it’s good to break the words apart and make them clear. Anyway, Wu Lang is not an outsider, and Liao Lin doesn’t need to cover up.

"I heard that the Xiangyang general surrendered."

He deliberately paused, trying to let Wu Lang understand what he meant.

"Actually, this mansion cannot surrender. Who should I do it with? No matter whether it is Yongli or Shunzhi, I have to be an official?"

Then he sighed, "It's just that this matter is not the only one in my mansion. I have to discuss it with General Feng."

Wu Lang knew the elegant meaning when he heard the string sound. It turned out that Dongweng wanted General Feng to take the blame.

If this is reported, General Feng insisted on offering the city, and Dongweng was coerced, and the crime in the Qing court was much smaller.

At least it won't affect the family.

Because the court also understood that scholars met soldiers, they couldn't explain clearly.

If someone else puts a knife around your neck, you won’t have a chance to resist.

Looking for a martial artist to take the blame is also a common routine for literati, and Dongweng is still a good one.

"This is simple. Dongweng might as well call General Feng, and he accidentally mentioned this matter at the dinner table. It is said that General Xiangyang received a series of rewards after surrendering to the Ming Dynasty and was promoted to the title."

"How wonderful!"

Liao Lin narrowed his eyes and exclaimed: "I will invite General Feng to come!"

...

...

Inexplicably, the invitation of the Jiangling Prefect Liao Lin made General Feng Tang very suspicious.

The relationship between the two can only be considered decent and not very close.

Now that Liao Lin has nothing to do, it is not a good thing to look at.

But after thinking about it, Feng Tang couldn't find a reason not to go, so he had to change into a casual robe to go to the Hongmen Banquet.

Jiangling City is not too big, and the General Office is only one street away from the prefect's office.

Feng Tang did not ride a horse but only brought a few personal soldiers there.

He wanted to see what medicine this prefect Liao sold in the gourd.

But Feng Tang was not that particular, so he walked to the backyard without waiting for the servant to report.

Seeing Liao Lin enjoying the cool air in the pavilion next to the rockery, Feng Tang walked up a few steps and laughed: "Oh, Liao Fu Zun is so elegant!"

Liao Lin turned around and greeted him with a smile: "Look at who is here. General Feng is here at the right time, let's have a meal."

Feng Tang sat down with his robe and coughed, "Liaofu Zun, don't hide it. Tell me why I came to me."

Liao Lin stroked his jaw and said leisurely: "It's nothing important. He just wants to have a meal with General Feng, chat and enjoy the fish."

Feng Tang sneered in his heart, thinking that this is a reason to be a ball.

I'm not a three-year-old child, can you believe your nonsense? You are so bad old man.

Well, if you don’t want to say it now, I won’t ask. The fox’s tail will be exposed sooner or later. I will look at the bad water in your stomach.

Soon the meals came one after another, and the main dish was a steamed sea bass.

Liao Lin picked up a piece of fish and put it into his mouth, chewed it lightly, and then exclaimed: "This fish is so delicious, General Feng, try it."

Feng Tang thought to himself that it was just a fish that was so fussy. But he still gave Liao Lin a big piece of it.

"Well, it tastes really good."

"General Feng, look at the difference between the fish in this pond and the fish on the plate?"

Liao Lin’s words are slow, but the more this happens, the easier it is to make people feel that they are meaningful.

"The fish on the plate are dead, and the fish in the pond are alive."

Feng Tang quickly gave the answer.

"Haha, General Feng is really a wonderful person."

Liao Lin praised, "General Feng said it well. The fish in this pond live, and the fish in the plate die. Everything seems so insignificant compared to life and death, right?"

"Although the fish in this pond only swim in such a large place, the space is very limited, but you don't have to worry about your life and life. The fish on this plate were salvaged by fishermen from the river. Its range of movement is large, but you may have life worries at any time. Is it better to pond fish or river fish? I'm afraid many people will choose to make river fish. But in my opinion, it's even more comfortable to make pond fish."

After a moment of pause, Liao Lin continued: "And even if the garden changes its owner, the life of the pond fish will not be affected. All literati and scholars love to raise fish. Isn't it a fool if you don't raise ready-made fish? General Feng said yes, right?"

Feng Tang was not stupid. After hearing Liao Linyi’s point of view, he had basically guessed the other party’s intention.

"Liao Fuzun, you want to change the party, right?"

"Oh, General Feng, this is what you said, not what I said. By the way, what do you mean by changing the party?"

Seeing that the other party started to play a scoundrel, Feng Tang sneered and said, "Liao Fuzun, what's the point of pretending to be stupid here? Isn't this an obvious thing? Besides, Zhuang Ming is not a shameful thing. Are you as for hiding this so hiding?"

In fact, Feng Tang is also seriously considering this issue.

Since the Ming army advanced eastward along the river, it has been unstoppable, leading to important towns such as Yiling, Yunyang, and Xiangyang, and there is no one to stop it.

In this case, Jiangling became the next target of the Ming army.

Although Feng Tang's name is very similar to that famous general in history, his strength is much worse.

He didn't think he could defend Jiangling, and it would be natural to find a way out at this time.

I never thought that Liao Lin would go with him.

"Oh, since General Feng said that, our mansion will tell you clearly. In this way, surrendering to Ming is the only choice to survive. We have no reason to bury Jiangling City. But can you propose this? This way, you can also preserve your reputation."

Feng Tang thought to himself that he was a shameless scholar, and he could say such words. But why did you take all the good things?

Just as he was about to question, Liao Lin continued: "President Feng, please rest assured. As long as you are willing to agree to stand up, Liao will prepare a generous gift and will never disappoint you!"

Feng Tang thought to himself that there was a backup plan.

For the sake of money, he can really consider it.

"Liao Fuzun has already made a comprehensive consideration?"

"Haha, a little plan."

Liao Lin said lightly.
