Happy Emperor

Chapter 40: Alliance with Baturin

"I'm attracted by your soldiers!"

Lin Tian revealed his cards directly.

"Your Majesty, your appetite is too big."

The corners of Baturin's mouth twitched slightly.

He had already thought that if Emperor Li really wanted to seize this batch of troops, the worst that could happen was to order the army to attack Shengjing immediately.

If we attack from both the north and the south simultaneously, we will be successful within ten days.

It is estimated that King Pingdong might not have reacted at that time.

"Lord Batu."

Lin Tian's tone softened a little.

"Aren't you curious why I suddenly told you this news?"

"I don't know." Baturin looked at Emperor Li with anger.

He didn't know what Emperor Li was up to, but he would definitely not agree to be forced to give in so easily.

"If Your Majesty truly intends to control these elite troops by cutting off their food supply, I will certainly lead them north. Then..."

"I hate being threatened the most in my life." Lin Tian said coldly.

After saying that, he took out the letter that King Pingdong gave to the prince and threw it in front of Baturin.

"Read it and decide."

Baturin picked up the letter suspiciously.

As soon as he opened the letter and took the first look, Baturin's brows were furrowed.

He also recognized the handwriting in the letter, it was exactly that of King Pingdong.

Old ministers like Baturin have a clearer understanding of King Pingdong than Lin Tian.

This god of war of Daxia during the previous emperor's time, if he had inherited the throne, how could Baturin and others dare to act rashly.

As he read the letter, Baturin's frown deepened.

The hand holding the letter changed from one hand to two hands, but it was still shaking slightly, and he was about to tear up the letter in his hand.

Lin Tian saw everything and was quite shocked.

He knew that Baturin had always been wary of King Pingdong, but he didn't expect that Baturin would be so unbearable just by reading the letter.

"Where is the Crown Prince now? If you only give him to me, I will hand over the fifty thousand soldiers to you."

Baturin put the letter down and said to Lin Tian hurriedly.

Lin Tian was obviously stunned after hearing this.

He didn't expect that this prince was so 'valuable'.

However, Lin Tian did not regret it. If he made enemies with someone like the prince, he would not be left with any way to survive.

Lin Tian said coldly: "Let me kill him!"

"You, you killed the prince?" Baturin looked at Emperor Li in disbelief.

He was not shocked by the fratricide among royal brothers.

What shocked him most was that Emperor Li knew that the Crown Prince had contacted King Pingdong, but still dared to kill him.

"Aren't you afraid of the Prince of Pingdong's wrath?"

"Hahaha,"

Lin Tian laughed loudly and said, "Even if the King of Pingdong is furious, he won't be able to attack Shengjing right away."

"Besides, when Ji Feng was in control of Shengjing, King Pingdong didn't do anything to Ji Feng!"

"Did you think that King Pingdong was not prepared to take action back then?" Baturin's face was frighteningly gloomy.

"If foreign enemies hadn't attacked the coastal areas of Daxia in recent years, King Pingdong would have come to attack us long ago."

After hearing this, Lin Tian's expression darkened slightly.

He now understood why Ji Feng had kept the prince for so many years.

He was afraid that Prince Pingdong would one day find a way to attack Shengjing and leave the prince behind as a trump card to save his life.

Although Lin Tian is also worried about this matter now.

But the person has already been killed. If King Pingdong insists on going against him, he will be finished.

Give him some time to make some AKs.

Damn it, King Pingdong, King Pingxi, if you don’t obey, I’ll shoot you all.

"Lord Batu, there are two paths before you now."

Lin Tian said after thinking for a moment.

"First, submit to me and unite against King Pingdong. I will ensure your Batu family's prosperity and wealth. Second, wait for King Pingdong to capture Liao'an and Jifeng."

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

Baturin looked at Emperor Li and said, "Even if I surrender, why don't I surrender to King Pingdong?"

"He has a strong army and is fully capable of joining Daxia. And you..."

"Clap clap clap!"

Lin Tian stood up with a gloomy face and clapped his hands a few times.

He said coldly, "Baturin, have you forgotten who was the one who betrayed the late emperor's will, joined forces with Ji Feng to depose the crown prince, and took control of Shengjing?"

"Do you think King Pingdong will let you go?"

"You..." Baturin was speechless.

Lin Tian was right. Although he was not directly involved in this matter, he also allowed Ji Feng to do so.

Given King Pingdong's character, he will definitely not let me go.

The reason why Baturin said he wanted to surrender to King Pingdong just now was because he could not accept the change in the situation for the time being and was talking nonsense.

Seeing this, Lin Tian pointed at the map of Daxia hanging on the wall and said.

"Although the Prince of Pingdong is powerful, don't forget that he has numerous vassal kings in his territories. It's impossible for him to mobilize all his forces. You and I don't have to worry about that at all."

Baturin listened to Lin Tian's introduction and agreed with what he said in his heart.

I nodded unconsciously.

But suddenly he felt something was wrong and asked, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that there is Lin Tianyang in the north of Shengjing?"

"The reason why I took such a risk in deploying troops is because of Lin Tianyang, the destabilizing factor in our rear."

At this moment, Baturin's heart had begun to lean towards Emperor Li, so his tone softened a lot.

"Hahaha."

Lin Tian burst into laughter after hearing this.

He's about to start lying.

"Master Batu, Master Batu! You are so smart all your life, but so foolish for a moment."

"Guess how I know you sent troops to attack Ningfeng Province? And they intercepted your food supplies."

Lin Tian guided Baturin's thoughts and said.

"Your Majesty, you mean..."

"Lord Batu, whether it's transporting grain or mobilizing troops, everything is top secret, but there's always a loophole... The people you've placed in Ningfeng Province are acting too blatantly."

"These bastards!"

Baturin cursed viciously.

Only now did he understand how Emperor Li knew about this matter. It turned out that those people had exposed it.

However, those people were in Ningfeng Province, so how did Emperor Li get the news?

"what!"

Baturin glanced at Emperor Li and suddenly realized.

He asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, have you already recaptured Lin Tianyang?"

"After all, Lin Tianyang and I have the same father and mother, so of course he won't help outsiders." Lin Tian said with a smile.

In fact, Lin Tian had never contacted Lin Tianyang at all.

Some time ago, I wanted to use Baturin to take over Ningfeng Province.

But this did not prevent him from saying this, at least he could deal with Baturin first.

Even if he knew it later, it would be too late.

"Your Majesty, for so many years I have been blind and failed to recognize the Emperor's talents."

Baturin probably never dreamed that the Holy King, whom he now sincerely respected, was actually deceiving him.

"This old minister is willing to surrender!"

After pondering for a moment, Baturin knelt on the ground and bowed.

"Hurry up and get up. You are still my father-in-law. Please don't go through with these empty formalities when no one is around."

Lin Tian stepped forward and helped Baturin up.

A smile also appeared on Baturin's face.

It was worth it for his daughter to marry Emperor Li!

"Your Majesty must be aware that within two days, my 50,000 elite troops will arrive in Ningfeng Province."

"When the time comes, please allow me to redeploy these troops back to the two provinces to assist in the defense."
