"Just when I was about to go to bed, a pillow was delivered to me. It's perfect!" Lin Tongxi cheered after hearing the news.
Chen Yunxuan nodded and quickly asked his subordinates to welcome the envoy in.
"Greetings, Lord Chen. I am Qian Yougong, the envoy of Lord Ding." The envoy introduced himself.
"Thank you for your help. I wonder what brings you here?" Chen Yunxuan asked Qian Yougong's purpose.
Qian Yougong cleared his throat and then expressed his willingness to form an alliance: "Master Chen, everyone in the world knows that Xiahou Jing is called the Red Prime Minister, but he is actually a Red Bandit."
“Although Xiahou Jing supported Emperor Chihui, he was often disrespectful to him and ignored his wishes.
“The entire court is filled with Xiahou Jing’s confidants, while those loyal to the Red Dynasty are expelled from the court by Xiahou Jing.
"Emperor Chihui has no one to rely on. His every move is controlled by Xiahou Jing. The traitor Xiahou can be said to be holding the emperor hostage to control the princes."
"Therefore, my master sent me to join the alliance, hoping to join forces with Lord Chen to fight against Xiahou Jing."
Chen Yunxuan nodded and readily agreed to the alliance: "Xiahou Jing's evil deeds are known to everyone, and we are planning to join forces with General Ding."
"That's good, but I'm afraid Lord Chen and Lord Ding alone aren't strong enough to fight against the traitor Xiahou." Qian Yougong explained the current situation, then revealed another purpose: "For this reason, my master hopes Lord Chen can send an envoy to Linzhou to persuade Xie Wenzhou."
"Only by uniting the three families can we have a chance of victory against the traitor Xiahou."
"We have prepared our boats and are ready to sail to Linzhou. We are just waiting for Master Chen to send an envoy."
It seems that Ding Yunyi has already thought of a countermeasure in advance and started to implement it.
In this way, Chen Yunxuan and his team would have less trouble, as they only needed to decide on the envoy.
"I wonder who Lord Ding sent as the envoy?" Chen Yunxuan asked.
"My lord, the person our lord sent is our military advisor Duanmu Xin," Qian Yougong replied.
"Duanmu Xin..." Chen Yunxuan entered a state of thought and glanced at Lin Tongxi at the same time.
According to the information collected by Xiaojiu, Duanmu Xin is a new talent found by Ding Yunyi this year. It is said that he was recommended to him by the head of Chengtian Academy.
When it comes to strategy, Duanmu Xin is unparalleled, and only a few people in the world can be compared with him.
He is as famous as another strategist, Yuan Shitong. It is said that if one of them is obtained, he can plan the world, and if the other is obtained, he can rule the world.
"Since General Ding has sent Military Advisor Duanmu, I will go there as our army's envoy." Lin Tongxi stood up and recommended himself.
He knew that Duanmu Xin's position in Ding Yunyi's army was second only to Ding Yunyi.
According to the level of equality, only Lin Tongxi can take on this important task.
In addition, Lin Tongxi himself also wanted to see what kind of person Duanmu Xin was, who had such a great reputation.
"Then Lin Tongxi will represent our army. Tongxi, you can choose others to accompany you to Linzhou." Chen Yunxuan responded.
Lin Tongxi glanced around and finally chose the strongest guard, Wei Zhaoshan: "In that case, then choose General Wei to go with me."
"What do you think, General Wei?" Chen Yunxuan looked at Wei Zhaoshan.
"I will definitely live up to my lord's expectations!" Wei Zhaoshan accepted the order.
…
Lin Tongxi and his men boarded Qian Yougong's boat, sailed eastward, and left Wangchen County.
Things turned out just as he expected, and it came to the point of joining forces with Ding Yunyi and Xie Wenzhou.
In order to take this step well, Lin Tongxi and Chen Yunxuan discussed it many times and also adjusted the internal forces.
Yue Lingyun, who was originally stationed at Lingwu County, was transferred back to Wangchen County, ready to lead his troops to join forces with Ding and Xie at any time.
As for the post of Lingwu County Magistrate, it was held by Yan Chenghong, while the post of Fulin County and Yongdao County Magistrate was held by Wang Shenghan and Peng Wenle respectively.
As for these three counties, the two men just need to follow their orders to defend them.
The key point still lies in Wangchen County, so Chen Yunxuan transferred Yue Lingyun, Wei Zhaoshan, Shaerya and Zhang Yanwu here.
In addition to military preparations, another consideration is the selection of envoys.
This trip is still risky. If Xie Wenzhou is a little more vicious, he might chop off the envoy's head and present it to Xiahou Jing as a gift.
If it were in the past, with Lin Tongxi's weak strength, he might have worried about his own safety and chosen not to go.
But things are different now. Thanks to Chen Yunxuan's assistance for several years, his strength as the system spirit has been greatly improved.
Today, it is no longer the weakest system as before, and its system version has been updated from 4.0 to 6.0, unlocking the growth and internal affairs sections.
So-called growth means that you can choose the growth direction for your team members and help them grow at the cost of the system's power.
Under the influence of the [Growth] section, Wei Zhaoshan's strength has reached the third-grade martial arts master.
Such a rapid improvement was naturally due to Lin Tongxi's crazy use of the power of the system. After all, he was specifically responsible for the guard position.
In addition, thanks to the help of [Physical Strengthening Level 6], Lin Tongxi's own combat power has also reached the sixth-grade martial arts master.
At worst, Lin Tongxi still has modern weapons. If he is really forced into a corner, he can only hold Xie Wenzhou hostage with a gun.
"Sir, we're here." Qian Yougong reminded, and then led him to the boat where Duanmu Xin was.
A man in white came down from the boat. He was eight feet tall and looked very imposing. He wore a silk scarf on his head and held a feather fan in his hand.
"I have heard of Brother Tongxi's great name for a long time, and today I finally get to meet you. My name is Duanmu Xin, and I serve as the military advisor and lieutenant general of our army." Duanmu Xin was the first to speak and greet.
"Brother Duanmu, thank you for your praise. I am just a small official, not as good as you. As for persuading Xie Wenzhou, I'll have to trouble you, Brother Duanmu." Lin Tongxi clasped his fists and saluted.
"It's not enough for me to convince General Xie alone. I have to rely on you and me to work together." Duanmu Xin waved his fan and smiled.
"The fate of the world now rests in the hands of you and me."
"Okay, Brother Tongxi, please come in!" Duanmu Xin made a gesture to invite him on board.
