Yes, it was the Lord Xin Yue Tu Xin whom we were familiar with but had not seen for a long time. He was rushing towards us with 10,000 Khmer soldiers.
Lin Hai was stunned when he learned this information, and even a little bit couldn't believe it.
Even novels wouldn’t dare to be written like this, with all the coincidences coming together. Does this mean that there is no coincidence in the world?
To be honest, Lin Hai had a good impression of Xin Yuetu. He was one of the few bureaucrats Lin Hai had seen in this world who was willing to do things, so deep down he was unwilling to stop Xin Yuetu.
Ugh.
When Lin Hai said this, both Xue Wuxia and Wang Shoushi gave him a look of "I don't believe you!" If Qinghe County had a well-supplied regiment, Lin Hai would have led them to crush Xin Yuetu. If Lin Hai had a reorganized battalion, he would have dared to take advantage of Xin Yuetu's battle with the Chen Dynasty and strike him from behind, at least to protect the refugee camp and the tens of thousands of people who were being transferred there.
But Lin Hai didn't, so he had to find another way to let his "Brother Xin" spare the people here, a way that would satisfy Lin Hai himself, Xin Yuetu, and the starving soldiers under Xin Yuetu.
Of course, the only people who might be dissatisfied might be the people of the Chen Dynasty.
"Come here, bring the gifts and give my handwritten letter to my elder brother Xin. They are my dearest relatives. Now the hateful Chen Dynasty people are reinforcing Zhaoyang. I can't let my elder brother suffer." Lin Hai said righteously.
At this time, Xue Wuxia finally understood the true meaning of what the director had said during the intelligence department training: "The principal is a natural leader. Even if he wasn't before, he is now. What he can say and do, you will find that you just can't say or do it."
Xin Yuetu did not reply directly to Lin Hai, nor did he bring any meaningful message to the messenger. He just summoned the messenger privately, burned the letter after reading it, and asked the messenger to return immediately with dry food.
After asking about the whole process in detail, Lin Hai breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Brother Xin still believed in him, but he just didn't want people to know that he still had connections with people from the Daliang Empire. After all, strictly speaking, Qitian Village was also a separatist force within the Daliang Empire, and Xin Yue's sudden move meant that he still wanted to keep Lin Hai as a contact.
"This is a goal-oriented and indomitable person," Lin Hai commented.
However, we will soon know how much Xin Yuetu trusts him and how much concessions he can get from Xin Yuetu through these.
When Xin Yuetu's army was less than thirty miles away from Zhaoyang City, he sent hundreds of vanguards, wearing tattered Khmer uniforms and holding half-burned flags, to the foot of Zhaoyang City to replace Lin Hai's men. Seeing this move, Lin Hai was completely relieved, and Xin Yuetu still adopted the method suggested by Lin Hai.
Lin Hai was not afraid that the Lieutenant General of Nandingzhou would not take the bait. After all, he had one wailing letter for help after another from the Tongzhi of Zhaoyang, and the extras outside had been replaced by professional actors. If he didn't take the bait, it would only mean that the other party had the potential to be a famous general, and it would not be a loss for his side if he lost.
