Chapter 211 is the icing on the cake and the charcoal in the snow "What?
Lin Nan, are you crazy?
A general surnamed Ling shouted: "The King of Jin has an army of one million, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is only 300,000......
Where did you see that the crown prince had the possibility of regaining the throne?
” However, after hearing this, Lin Nan responded to him with a disdainful look......
Lin Nan glanced at him with disdain: "General Ling, you are also a veteran of the battlefield, when did the victory or defeat of the war have anything to do with the number of people?"
If you really want to say this, then the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Weishui that year will not be won by the loss of Liu Lianjun and the Jin Dynasty, but by Cao Cao and Fu Jian, right?
Let alone......
Who told you that the King of Jin has an army of one million, and the crown prince only has 300,000, but His Royal Highness the prince also has a million army in Nanyang?
And don't forget, as long as we surrender to the prince, the prince's soldiers and horses will immediately reach 600,000, and the king of Jin will only have 700,000 left, and the number of people on both sides will be close to balance.
Not to mention that among the 600,000 people of the prince, there are still 100,000 young soldiers......
Even if you don't talk about strategy, if you simply rely on fighting for combat effectiveness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is better, right?
Besides, with our 300,000 people, it can be said that there are not many people for His Royal Highness the Prince, and the morale will be raised immediately, which is a move to send charcoal in the snow, and continuing to follow the King of Jin will not play any important role, it can only be regarded as icing on the cake......
Generals, which one is better, the icing on the cake or the charcoal in the snow, don't you still see clearly?
” "This ......"
To be honest, everyone was moved at this moment, Lin Nan was right, in their opinion, Li Zhen's chances of winning were not great, but if he and others brought these 300,000 people to throw over, Li Zhen's number would immediately be on par with Li Zhi, and counting the 100,000 young army, Li Zhen's chances of winning would be greater.
On the other hand, these people are all big bosses and coarse, and they have been staying in Li Zhi's camp, unless they go to the battlefield, it is very difficult for them to climb up, and as for the fiefdom, they don't even need to think about it, they definitely don't have their share.
But if you throw yourself into Li Zhen's camp, once Li Zhen wins, then you will be from the dragon's work, and the reward afterwards is indispensable, even if there is no fief, but the title of official and knight is indispensable.
And Li Zhen is weak now, their contribution immediately leveled the strength of Li Zhen and Li Zhi, this credit alone is huge enough, even if he doesn't do anything in the next war, after Li Zhen wins, he will also take care of his own merits this time, and the reward is indispensable.
As for loyalty to Li Zhi?
This is nonsense, they have no feelings for Li Zhi, let alone any interests - in fact, they are not Li Zhi's descendants, nor are they people who are installed by the family or Confucianism, but they themselves are generals who served in the Sixteen Guards, and they were all current positions during the Li Shimin period, and Li Zhi did not move them after he took power.
It is said that after Li Zhi usurped the throne, he did purge the Sixteen Guards and replaced almost all the generals, but the middle-level generals in the army like them were not removed for many reasons.
On the one hand, because Li Zhi did not have enough talents in his hands, there were too many of these people in the army, and Li Zhi couldn't replace them for a while, so he simply didn't remove them, but just planted a few henchmen into it.
On the other hand, Li Zhi is also unwilling to put the food too ugly, he will replace all the generals, it is already a damage to the image, the people have a lot of criticism of him, if these middle and high-level people are all replaced, you don't have to think about it to know that the people must be scolded, and the army is estimated to be in an uproar, maybe you don't have to wait for Li Zhen to arrive, the sixteen guards will rebel themselves.
The third is also from the point of view of combat effectiveness, Li Zhi is not a fool, on the contrary, his ability is very good, he naturally knows what kind of goods he has inserted, saying that he is a cripple who is tall, it is all said that he is high, in fact, he has installed some second-rate goods, and it is good to keep the combat effectiveness of the army from declining after being placed in the army - and even this is very difficult to do, since he installed his henchmen as generals, the combat effectiveness of the sixteen guards has more or less declined.
It's just that changing a leader has caused such serious consequences, if he replaces these middle and high-level officers, then he doesn't have to think about the consequences at all - it is estimated that as soon as Li Zhen's army comes, the battle will not be fought, and Li Zhi will directly surrender by himself, so that he may be able to leave a whole corpse.
It is precisely based on the above three reasons that the positions of these middle and high-level generals can be guaranteed, but it is conceivable that if Li Zhen is solved, Li Zhi will definitely cultivate his own talents and replace them all one by one.
Lin Nan obviously realized this, and thought for a while: "And I think you are also very clear about everyone's situation, although our position is very stable now, but you are not the henchmen of King Jin after all, it is conceivable that once King Jin completely consolidates his power, he will definitely clean everyone out slowly, and then how should we who can't do anything but fight live?"
How do I provide for my parents, wife and children?
” "......" everyone was silent, this sentence can be said to poke everyone's pain points, they are also very clear about their current situation, they are the courtiers of Li Shimin's period, Li Zhi ignored them in order to stabilize the army's morale after taking the throne, but they themselves also know very well that once Li Zhi comes to his senses, I am afraid that they will be the first to open the knife.
Even if they choose to take refuge in Li Zhi at this time, it is not okay, because at this time, Li Zhi has already ascended the throne, and he is no longer the nominal prince he used to be.
At this time, it is tantamount to icing on the cake for them to take refuge in the past, even if Li Zhi accepts them, he will not trust them completely, and once he has the opportunity, he will definitely replace them.
If they just lose their future, to be honest, they don't care, but the problem is just like Lin Nan said, they are not alone, who can do the position of general, which one of them is not full of wives and concubines?
Originally, with their income, it was already very difficult to feed the family, and sometimes they had to go out to work part-time to earn extra money to support their families, if they lost their current position, they had no other survival skills, where could they support the family?
"Who the hell are you?"
Someone asked their own questions: "It stands to reason that King Jin treats you well, and even promises you a high position, why do you betray him?"
” "King Jin is really good to me, the problem is that I already have my own master."
Lin Nan took out a jade plate engraved with a spider web-style pattern from his arms: "Introduce myself again, my name is Lin Nan, and I am a member of the Skynet Organization under His Royal Highness the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, codenamed Black Spider......
Five years ago, on the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he lurked beside the King of Jin to collect information......
Now is the time to go back. ” "It turns out that you are the prince's person, and you have hidden it from us so hard."
The person next to him suddenly showed a look of resentment, and scolded angrily: "Lin Nan, I really can't imagine that you are hiding so deeply, I am really blind, and I actually call you a brother and sister......
"It turned out to be Brother Wang......
Lin Nan glanced at the person who spoke, and suddenly understood, this person's name is Wang Se, he is a diehard loyalist of King Jin, and he is also the most important confidant of Li Zhishang, and he is also a distant cousin of Princess Jin, and his own ability is also very good, so he has won Li Zhi's trust, and almost all the dirty work under Li Zhi is done by him.
When Lin Nan first entered Li Zhi's side, in order to climb up, he could make friends with this person, but the two became good friends who talked about everything, and at this time, Lin Nan was also a little guilty when he was reprimanded by the other party.
However, thinking of his identity, after all, he was not the same as the other, and forcibly suppressed the guilt in his heart, Lin Nan said lightly: "Brother Wang, you misunderstood me, I have never hidden my identity, Lin Nan, isn't it Lingnan?"

But on the first day I entered the Jin Palace, I had already identified myself. ” "...... you" Wang Se almost vomited blood, the special Lin Nan is Lingnan?
If you don't say, who will associate your name with Lingnan?
Just because of the two homophonic words, can you say that you are above board?
Then it's too easy for you to be upright, right?
"Alright, everyone, make your decision, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been waiting for a long time."
After dealing with the surnamed Wang, Lin Nan stopped talking nonsense: "And what I want to tell you is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already been aware of our plan and has already set up an ambush around......
Now, please make your choice, and those who agree with us will be on my side. ” Wang Se naturally wouldn't let him do this, and immediately said: "Fart, Li Zhen's men are all infantry, you don't want to demagogue, where will it be the opponent of the cavalry?"
Even if he did have an ambush, how could he be able to hold back the charge of our cavalry?
Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty is kind-hearted, he will never do anything to unload the mill and kill the donkey, and you don't have to worry about him being liquidated afterwards......"
However, it was good that he didn't say this, as soon as he said this, almost ninety percent of all the officers above the rank of lieutenant present immediately came to Lin Nan's side, staring at him with unkind eyes.
Wang Se was directly stunned: "Everyone, what is your situation?"
” "Idiot, my ninth brother has done something to force the palace to usurp the throne, you still dare to say that he is kind-hearted?
Is there such a good law in this world?
So instead of appeasing, your words reminded them of how brutal my ninth brother is......
Once you let him know that these people have betrayed him, do you think they will be able to save their lives?
Or do you think Li Zhi will forgive them?
Li Zhen's voice came from the other side, and it turned out that Cheng Chuliang noticed what was happening here, and he noticed that the situation had changed, and immediately ran back to report it to Li Zhen.
And after Li Zhen got the news, she also hurriedly came out, just saw this scene, and didn't wait for others to speak, and immediately answered on her behalf.
"Li Zhen?"
Wang Se didn't need to look at it at all to know who was speaking-among all the enemies and friends present at present, Li Zhen was the only one who was qualified to call Li Zhi's ninth brother.
Thinking of this, Wang Se put his hand on his waist almost without thinking, and was about to pull out the gun and fight with Li Zhen, but where would the people around Li Zhen give him this opportunity, only to hear a crisp sound of 'bang', Wang Se covered his wrist and screamed, only to see a stream of blood splashed out of it, which was also mixed with bone fragments, it seems that it is likely to have injured the bone, even if the injury is cured, this hand will be useless in the future.
"Just like you, you also want to assassinate the prince, you can't help but take yourself too seriously, is it really grandpa that my name as a sharpshooter was blown out?"
Cheng Chuliang gently blew the gunsmoke from the muzzle, handsomely played a gun flower, and withdrew the pistol back to his waist.
"The subordinate Sky Net member Black Spider has seen His Royal Highness the Prince."
After seeing Li Zhen, Lin Nan immediately knelt down excitedly, although he was loyal to Li Zhen, but he had never seen Li Zhen's face, his impression of Li Zhen had always been heard, and now he finally saw the living, as if he had seen the fans of the idol, and he couldn't help but be excited.
"Very good, your affairs are already known in the palace, and you can still stick to your heart in the face of Li Zhi's high-ranking officials Houlu, which is commendable......
Hongu is not the kind of person who is cold by nature, and will definitely not make what you do worthless......
As for your reward, after this matter has passed, this palace will naturally give you an explanation.
For Lin Nan, Li Zhen is also very emotional, such a loyal person, if he does not treat him well, Li Zhen himself will not be able to pass the level in his heart.
"Serving His Highness, his subordinates don't dare to ask for rewards, they just want to be by His Highness's side and be content."
Lin Nan has never seen Li Zhen, but as an intelligence officer, when he was trained at the base, the first lesson was to recite Li Zhen's deeds, and then he was brainwashed by the instructor in various aspects, washing him into Li Zhen's absolute supporter, and when the intelligence officer graduated, the most important test subject was not professional skills, but loyalty to Li Zhen. will choose to go back and continue to review, after all, this is a matter of their own lives, and they must not be sloppy.
As a leader among intelligence officers, Lin Nan graduated with almost a full score, and his loyalty to Li Zhen is naturally full marks, and it is precisely because of this that even if he has never met Li Zhen and has been a high-ranking official by Li Zhi's side for so long, he is still loyal to Li Zhen without a little betrayal.
