Chapter 2126 The land is too big, it's just a burden
To be honest, Yan and Zhou are fighting at this moment, and Zhou Mingzhi is indeed very sincere in coming here alone. If Lin Fan has no intention of cooperating with him, he will just take the head off.
In this regard, Zhou Mingzhi did dare to bet, he bet that Lin Fan wanted to deal with the Demon Emperor and the Buddha Emperor more than him.
The battle situation on the front line has become like this. If I don’t find a breakthrough from Lin Fan, the thousand-year-old Zhou Kingdom will probably be destroyed in my hands.
Zhou Mingzhi never wanted to let such a thing happen. He came here. Even if he risked his life to save the Great Zhou Kingdom, he would do whatever he could!
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Your Majesty Zhou Emperor, you are not sincere enough for you to come here."
Zhou Mingzhi took a deep breath and asked, "What do you want?"
Lin Fan sat on the wooden chair, stared at Zhou Mingzhi's eyes, and said, "I want to see what His Majesty the Emperor of Zhou wants to pay. You know the situation on the front line."
"You tell me the conditions." Zhou Mingzhi said in a deep voice. Before he came, he had already made the enlightenment that Lin Fan would be stabbed.
Lin Fan said: "It's very simple. After you cooperate with us to deal with the Demon Emperor and the Buddha Emperor, you announced that the State of Zhou would surrender unconditionally and that the territory of Qi would belong to our State of Yan."
"The territory of Jiang and Wu was returned to Kong Linghu to establish the country."
Listening to Lin Fan's words, Zhou Mingzhi's face showed a look of surprise.
It is normal for Yan State to have a territorial territory. Unexpectedly, Lin Fan would even give all the territories of Jiang State and Wu State to Kong Linghu.
If this happens, all the efforts made by Zhou State before will be wasted.
But before Zhou Mingzhi came here, he had already made such mental preparations. After all, the front line really couldn't stand it anymore.
He finally found an opportunity to sneak here.
If it continues to drag on, I am afraid that the two million troops of Zhou will starve to death on the front line.
At that time, let alone conquering the world, he would not have a large army in his hands, and he would not be able to suppress the ministers in Zhou who held heavy troops.
"Okay." Zhou Mingzhi nodded without hesitation, but he couldn't help asking: "But Marquis, what are you doing with Kong Linghu? Isn't it good to give it to you all of Yan State?"
Lin Fan said calmly: "I asked Kong Linghu to surrender because I gave him the promise of founding the country. I, Lin Fan, will do my best."
Hearing this, Zhou Mingzhi couldn't help but look admiring on his face.
This is the land of the two countries. I didn’t expect Lin Fan to give it so easily. It’s said that Lin Fan is extremely treacherous, and it seems that the rumors are unreliable!
Lin Fan continued: "As for other conditions, it's nothing, but we will deal with the Buddha Emperor and the Demon Emperor next, and hope that His Majesty the Emperor of Zhou will cooperate well."
"This is natural!" Zhou Mingzhi nodded quickly.
"Since you are here, don't bring any tokens?" Lin Fan asked calmly: "If you are so empty-mouthed, what you said just now..."
"this……"
Lin Fan said, "After going back, send your Zhou Kingdom's jade seal secretly. After dealing with the Buddha Emperor and the Demon Emperor, I will return it naturally."
Although the imperial seal is just a token, this is also the ironclad evidence that Zhou Mingzhi defected, and he is not afraid that Zhou Mingzhi will regret it later.
If he dares to repent later, Lin Fan will take out the imperial seal and tell what happened today. By then, Zhou Mingzhi will not be able to get a good idea with the Buddha Emperor and the Demon Emperor.
Does Zhou Mingzhi have a choice?
"Okay." Zhou Mingzhi nodded decisively.
A sincere smile finally appeared on Lin Fan's face, and he held Zhou Mingzhi's hand and said, "Your Majesty, you and me..."
Nan Zhanxiong stood beside him and thought to himself, "Mr. Lin must have had an old problem again, right?" Could it be that he wanted to become a sworn brotherhood with Zhou Mingzhi again?"
However, Nan Zhanxiong was thinking too much. Lin Fan said with a smile: "You and I cooperate sincerely this time. After solving the Buddha Emperor and the Demon Emperor, I will ask you to have some good drinks."
Zhou Mingzhi quickly said goodbye and left, and did not stay in the mansion of the Marquis of Gai Shi.
After all, if the news of him coming to the Marquis' Mansion leaked out, how could the Buddha Emperor and the Demon Emperor spare him?
After Zhou Mingzhi left, Nan Zhanxiong sighed from the side: "I didn't expect Zhou Mingzhi to come here in person."
"This guy is brave, he is not a foolish emperor." Lin Fan said.
Nan Zhanxiong nodded and asked, "Mr. Lin, I'm also curious, why do you give all the territory of Jiang and Wu to Kong Linghu?"
Why keep your promises? Nan Zhanxiong doesn’t believe Lin Fan’s nonsense.
What's more, even if you keep your promise, wouldn't it be better to give Kong Linghu a country's land? What should you do for him to give him a country's land?
Lin Fan said calmly: "Doing things depends on the long term. You often watch Liu Boqing play chess, but haven't you heard him say this all day long?"
"If Yan State general Qi, Jiang and Wu are eaten, it will look glorious."
"Qi, Jiang, Wu, the people of the Three Kingdoms royal family are still there. If the Zhou State retreats, will these forces not appear?"
"The people of the Three Kingdoms royal family have been deeply rooted in their respective countries for hundreds or thousands of years. It took Yan State one or two hundred years to digest the land of these Three Kingdoms."
"What about Zhou State? Zhou State is just not very morale and has fewer troops at this moment."
"As long as they return to their country and recruit troops again, they will soon form a new army. When he comes, can the Yan Kingdom, which is too busy to take care of itself, stop the Zhou Kingdom?"
"Even if he doesn't say so far, if he doesn't give Kong Linghu a country, he still holds an army of 1.8 million. How could he give up?"
Nan Zhanxiong said: "You can just give him a country's land..."
"From a longer perspective," Lin Fan said: "If only Kong Linghu is given one country, and Yan State can obtain the three countries."
"At that time, the territory of Yan State will almost be comparable to that of Zhou State today, and all the energy and goals of Zhou State will be placed on Yan State."
"And Kong Linghu can show his national strength with peace of mind."
"If Kong Linghu gained the land of Jiang and Wu, and had nearly two million troops in his hands, even if Zhou still had plans to form a large army, he would take the lead in attacking the country built by Kong Linghu."
"If the country is too big, it just looks at the scenery. It's enough. If it's too big, it's just a burden."
Listening to Lin Fan's words, Nan Zhanxiong couldn't help but nodded. It seems that Lord Lin is indeed visionary.
Nan Zhanxiong also appeared. During this period, Lord Lin followed Liu Boqing to play chess every day, and it seemed that there had been a big change.
