After Lin Yuan finished speaking, an attendant went to invite Yu Baoshui and An Dezhong, the two entered the room, looked at the table, and saw a pot of noodles and a plate of pickles on it, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "Lin Shuai eats the same thing as we eat!" ”

Lin Yuan smiled and asked, "Have you eaten?" ”

The two nodded, and Lin Yuan said to the attendant, "Take all these things you eat." The attendant quickly removed the food, and Lin Yuanchong made a "please" gesture to the two of them, and said with a smile: "Please take a seat!" Waiting until the two of them sat down, Lin Yuan asked: "Didn't you say that Long Tengfei is convinced that 'there must be brave men under heavy rewards', and a death squad will be set up before a big battle, and those who join will be given a lot of money?" ”

The two nodded again and again, and Lin Yuan then asked, "Is the dragon soaring money happy?" ”

An Dezhong said: "It's very happy, joining the death squad is to take money with one hand and join the team with the other!" You can go to battle with your money in your pocket, and if you survive, you can spend the money in your pocket as much as you want! ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Then what if these people die on the battlefield?" Who does the money go? ”

Yu Baoshui said: "The money should be sent to the family, right?" ”

Lin Yuan asked: "What does 'should' be sent to the family, and you don't know where the money goes?" ”

Yu Baoshui said: "We really don't know, not only us, but others don't care too much about this matter. ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Didn't there be a death squad before?" ”

Yu Baoshui hurriedly replied: "We haven't fought a big battle here for a long time, and the few battles we have fought are all small battles, and the opponents are either rebels or bandits, and we rarely use death squads, in my impression, this method seems to have been used twice...... "After Yu Baoshui finished speaking, he looked at An Dezhong with an inquiring eye.

An Dezhong said: "That's right, one time is to fight a group of bandits, almost three years ago, and the other time is to fight the rebels, those Hui people occupy a high ground, and they can't beat it several times, so the commander organized a death squad." ”

Lin Yuan thought for a while and asked, "Let's just say that when you beat the rebels, what time was it?" ”

An Dezhong thought for a while and said, "According to the new calendar promulgated by the Holy Lord, it is April 18th ......."

Yu Baoshui also said on the side: "That's right, there are two more people in our battalion, I remember clearly, the two of them went and didn't come back." ”

Lin Yuan then asked, "Then do you remember how many people died in that battle?" ”

Yu Baoshui said: "When I went to clean the battlefield, a total of seventy-five of our people died, and more than fifty of them were death squads!" ”

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up and said, "Then do you know the name of the deceased?" ”

Yu Baoshui smiled bitterly and said, "Lin Shuai, we don't know those people, how can we remember their names?" ”

Lin Yuan said, "Didn't you say that there are two of your battalions? Why can't you remember? ”

Yu Baoshui hurriedly said: "Oh, I remember the names of those two people, one is called Su Guigui, and the other is called Yu Dafu. ”

Lin Yuan then asked, "Then do these two people have relatives?" ”

Yu Baoshui shook his head lightly and said, "Lin Shuai, although we are in a battalion, we are not a sentry, so these things are not clear. ”

Lin Yuan asked, "I still don't know how many battalions you have?" ”

Yu Baoshui replied: "In Long Dashuai's team, the biggest officer is Long Dashuai, and below is his personal army, then there is the pioneer battalion, with more than 1,000 people, which is the henchmen of Dashuai, and then there are six battalions of 'benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom, faith and bravery', each battalion has more than 1,500 people, and each battalion has six sentinels, and the number of each outpost varies, more than 300 people, less than 200 people. ”

Lin Yuan nodded and asked, "Then Long Tengfei's troops are more than 10,000 people at most, why did you say that there were 40,000 that day?" ”

Yu Baoshui and An Dezhong both shook their heads, and Chen Fei said on the side: "I have found out clearly, except for Long Tengfei's original elite troops, the rest of the 40,000 people are newly recruited from all over the country, most of them are landless peasants, and some are peasant rebels, because they can't defeat Long Tengfei's troops, they surrendered, and the barracks near Qingshui County, which is closest to us, are stationed in the troops composed of landless peasants. ”

Lin Yuan said: "Then we will be more sure to recruit the troops near Qingshui County!" ”

Yu Baoshui and An Dezhong heard Lin Yuan say that they were going to recruit Long Tengfei's troops, and hurriedly said, "Lin Shuai, let's go with you." ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "No need, there are many people who know you in Long Tengfei, so don't go, okay, if you don't have anything else, please go back first." ”

The two said goodbye, and Shen Wanqing asked on the side: "Why do you want to ask so many things?" ”

Lin Yuan looked at Chen Fei on the side, leaned close to Shen Wanqing's ear, and whispered, "I'm going to find you a man!" One sentence made Shen Wanqing's face blush, stretched out her hand and patted Lin Yuan's body, and said coquettishly: "Don't make a fool of yourself, talk about serious things!" ”

Chen Fei didn't know what Lin Yuan said in Shen Wanqing's ear, and looked at the two people blankly, Lin Yuan said, "Think about it, under what circumstances will the enemy surrender to us?" No matter how famous and prestigious I am, if I sit here and do nothing, will they come to me and surrender? Definitely not! ”

"Because people have the inertia to be satisfied with the status quo, as long as the status quo can survive, they don't want to change, so if they want them to surrender to us, we must find something to stimulate them, such a thing, one is that I go in person, just like Yu Baoshui, and the other is that they are forced to have no choice but to surrender to us, just like An Dezhong!"

"So I decided: Stimulate these soldiers in Qingshui County and force them to surrender to me, Wanqing, you are the key to this plan!"

Shen Wanqing looked at Lin Yuan and asked, "What is your plan?" Why do you have to ......" At this point, I can't go on thinking of "finding a man".

Lin Yuan looked at her shy appearance, smiled, and said, "That's the case, didn't Yu Baoshui say the names of the two dead people just now?" You pretend to be the wife of one of them, and then we go into Qingshui County, and you tell those soldiers that you have not received a pension at all, and I will fan the flames on the sidelines, so that those soldiers will lose their trust in Long Tengfei and surrender to us! ”

Lin Yuan continued: "I just heard Chen Fei say that the garrison of Qingshui County is very lax, so we will not be in any danger, in order to prevent accidents, Chen Fei, let's take a few soldiers together, when the three of us enter the city, let the soldiers wait outside the city, once there is an accident, we will quickly get out of the city, Qingshui County is not big, let's run out of the horse directly, and escape with a smoke, they have nothing to do with us." ”

Chen Fei smiled and said, "That's a good idea. ”

Lin Yuan continued: "After a while, you go to Yu Baoshui and An Dezhong, let them find Dabu, the bigger the better, write the words 'Lin Shuai's surrender', and put it on the high slope outside our camp, so that those soldiers who come out can find us, let them get things out tonight, and hang them out early tomorrow morning!" ”

Chen Fei nodded and agreed, and the next morning, the huge cloth was made out and fluttered on the hillside, while Lin Yuan led the group to ride a fast horse and march in the direction of Qingshui County. ”
