Forcing me to keep vigil for your childhood sweetheart? Then I'll leave you.

Chapter 146 General Sun

"I didn't go in to negotiate."

"I have a plan."

Lin Yi continued, "After I understand the situation in the capital, I will launch a night attack."

"Another night raid?"

Yu Jin frowned slightly. "A night raid is easy to deal with. They won't fall for the same trick twice in a row, right?"

"It's hard to say. Xiao Changyun fell for the same trick twice in my hands."

Lin Yi said with a slight smile on his face, "This night raid is to capture Xiao Changyun."

"I call it a decapitation operation."

Then he told his plan.

After he understood the situation in the capital, he sent out the detailed information.

Afterwards, a hundred elite troops attacked the city.

The target is Lin Yi's direction.

Peace talks must be between two people in the same place.

If Lin Yi is present, Xiao Changyun will definitely be there.

Before the operation began, Yu Jin led his men to sneak in, and waited until the "final negotiation" between Lin Yi and Xiao Changyun began, and then broke out.

After capturing Xiao Changyun, he took his men out of the capital.

"Finally regain control of the capital."

After Lin Yi finished speaking, even Prince Qing and Yu Jin, who were well-versed in military tactics and understood warfare, exclaimed that it was a good idea!

"I'll go in and explore the way first."

"that's it."

As he spoke, Lin Yi looked at Huangfu Qingling.

After all, no matter how good his plan was, it still needed the approval of her, the empress.

"I have only one request, you cannot die."

"As long as you don't die, I can promise you anything!"

There was a hint of worry in Huangfu Qingling's eyes.

"I won't play with my life."

Yang Jian and Huang Chang can also testify to this.

Lin Yi took action only after he had calculated that he would not die.

After lunch, Lin Yi followed Prince Qing’s team to the north of the capital.

"I'm here to negotiate!"

Lin Yi roared, and the soldiers guarding the city were shocked and immediately went down to report.

"what?"

"Lin Yi is here to talk?"

Xiao Changyun was stunned when he heard the news.

On second thought, this was just a matter of delaying time, and there was no big problem in letting Lin Yi in.

At least these days, there is an additional "hostage"!

With this functional mood, he immediately got up and went to the city wall.

"You're the only one who comes to talk!"

Xiao Changyun glanced at Prince Qing's army outside the city wall and felt a lingering fear.

"I'll bring two men with me, is that okay?"

Lin Yi said this, pointing to Yang Jian and Huang Chang behind him.

"That's fine too."

Xiao Changyun thought about it for a while, and finally agreed, "No weapons!"

After all, Yang Jian and Huang Chang were indeed powerful, but when they were unarmed, two fists were no match for four hands, and a hero could not withstand the brunt of the attacks.

"no problem!"

Lin Yi readily agreed and asked Yang Jian and Huang Chang to put down their weapons.

Then the three of them walked slowly into the city.

"I didn't expect Huangfu Qingling to send you."

"Does she want to be a coward?"

Xiao Changyun came in front of Lin Yi and laughed.

"Turtle, I think you're more like it."

"They hid in the city and dared not fight."

Lin Yi retorted sarcastically, "Your Majesty doesn't even need to intervene to talk to you. I am enough."

"you……"

Xiao Changyun almost cursed angrily, but he took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.

A small leak will sink a great ship.

Before long, they were walking all the way inside.

Lin Yi and Huang Chang began to scan the surrounding situation. The four major markets were not open at all, the people were confined to their homes, and the entire capital city was like a huge prison!

Many people leaned out of windows and doors to see what was happening to Lin Yi and the other two.

"Prime Minister Xiao, I'm feeling a little unwell. Can we talk tomorrow after I have something to eat?"

Lin Yi's words hit the mark exactly what Xiao Changyun wanted.

He was thinking about how to delay time!

"Well, you've been traveling so long, take a good rest. I'll arrange some nice accommodation for you."

Xiao Changyun spoke with a smile.

"Just let me live in the former Qi Wang's mansion."

"I stopped living there when I got better."

Lin Yi said as he headed straight for where the Chamber of Commerce was now.

That night, Huang Chang and Yang Jian secretly went out to investigate the situation in the capital.

In one night, I got to know the situation around East City.

Then, over the next few nights, they almost searched the entire capital city.

Lin Yi wandered around and spent a little "money" to learn about the current defense situation of the capital.

There were 23,000 soldiers defending the entire capital city.

Among them, 20,000 were deployed on the four city walls in the east, south, west and north. Of the remaining 3,000, 1,500 were imperial guards and the remaining 1,500 were patrol teams in the city.

For eight days, Lin Yi and Xiao Changyun seemed to be just "sitting" here without talking about any negotiations.

Lin Yi got to know the entire capital city.

Xiao Changyun was finally looking forward to the arrival of General Sun.

Now General Sun's 70,000 troops are at a river in the south, preparing to cross the river. They will be able to rush to the capital to provide assistance within two days.

On the ninth day.

Lin Yi has made preparations. Yu Jin has brought a hundred people and is lurking in the current Chamber of Commerce's residence.

After everything was ready, Lin Yi came to Xiao Changyun's house.

"Prime Minister Xiao, we've wasted a lot of time. Why don't we talk first?"

Hearing this, Xiao Changyun nodded slightly, "That's exactly what I think. We should really talk about it."

As they spoke, the two set up a table outside the palace to negotiate.

Xiao Changyun was indeed careful enough and chose an open area as the venue.

Especially during the day, Yu Jin has little room to perform.

"If you withdraw your troops, I will open the gate."

"I can't be guilty by then, I still have to be the prime minister!"

Xiao Changyun made a request that was totally unacceptable.

If you agree, then when this Xiao Changyun disappears, countless Xiao Changyuns will appear.

"There's nothing to talk about. I have to go."

Lin Yi rejected it outright, "We've already lost enough time."

As he said this, Yu Jincong and his men emerged from the shadows.

"Xiao Changyun, these are all my people, you'd better surrender obediently."

Lin Yi spoke very seriously.

"your people?"

"Do you think I don't know what you're up to? I need time too."

Xiao Changyun sneered, then clapped his hands, and fifteen hundred imperial guards surrounded him.

There were even another 1,500 fully armed patrol guards.

"General Sun's men will be here the day after tomorrow. Your life or death won't matter anymore!"

Xiao Changyun said as he slowly retreated, "Kill them!"

As soon as the words fell, a melee broke out.

Lin Yi left under the escort of Yang Jian and Huang Chang.

The decapitation operation failed, but at least they were able to escape unscathed.

Yu Jin fought his way out of the encirclement with only five casualties, killed more than 500 imperial guards and patrolling guards, and escaped from the capital.

Lin Yi had no choice but to leave like this.

Although the imperial guards and patrol guards suffered heavy casualties, their numbers were sufficient.

After leaving, everyone could only return to Lianjingdu to make long-term plans.

At this time, Prince Qing brought a very tense piece of news.

"A spy just reported that an army of 70,000 men has crossed the Zhu River in the south and is heading towards the capital!"

Prince Qing presented the news with a frown on his face.

"Is this the General Sun they were talking about..."

Lin Yi frowned slightly. He had originally wanted to catch Xiao Changyun this time, but Xiao Changyun was indeed well prepared...
