Chen Fei wondered in his heart and thought, "Why didn't he let me tell my true identity?" He also said that he built a railway! What is he going to do? ”

When the soldier heard that Lin Yuan was building a railway, his eyes lit up, and he said, "You can build a railway?" That's great! Hurry up and come with me! ”

Chen Fei thought to himself: "Follow them? Where are they taking us? Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan, can't you tell the truth? You have to make it up, this time let the family get it, I see what you should do? Chen Fei looked at Lin Yuan nervously while thinking, but he didn't expect Lin Yuan to smile and ask, "Master Jun, what's so anxious?" ”

The soldier said impatiently: "What do you do when you ask so much? You'll know when you arrive! ”

Chen Fei thought to himself: "You can't follow them, who knows what these soldiers are going to do?" Unexpectedly, Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Okay, I'll go with the military master, I also guessed, the military master asked me to definitely have something to do with the construction of the railway, I will explain a few words to my deputy, let him go back to prepare, and go with you." ”

Lin Yuan then turned around and naturally took Chen Fei aside, the soldiers were obviously not interested in what Lin Yuan was going to say, and they didn't mean to come over to listen, Chen Fei said anxiously: "What are you doing?" Wouldn't it be the end of telling them who we are? Why do you want to tell them that we are building a railway? ”

Lin Yuan whispered, "How can I tell our identities? They are not Jiang Huayong's subordinates at all, but Long Tengfei's subordinates! ”

Chen Fei said disdainfully: "Pure nonsense, could it be that they have words written on their faces?" Explain whose subordinates they are? How do you know that they are Long Tengfei's subordinates? ”

Lin Yuan said, "Don't you remember the Hui people we rescued from the Ning madman? They told me: There was a fight between those who wore military uniforms and those who wore military uniforms backwards, and I saw that there were no people in Jiang Huayong's army who wore military uniforms backwards, but there were a few people in the army in front of me who wore military uniforms backwards, didn't you pay attention? ”

Chen Fei said embarrassedly: "I heard you say that they are Jiang Huayong's subordinates, so I didn't take them seriously, but how did they take the Great Scattered Pass?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "I don't know, it must have been taken advantage of the unpreparedness of the defenders, or it may be that Jiang Huayong didn't arrange anyone to be stationed here at all, no matter what the reason, I can't tell our true identity, you go back, let everyone be ready for battle, and I will find a way to get them to move the barricades......"

Chen Fei hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Do you really want to go back with them?" Do you know where they're taking you? What if there is danger? ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Don't worry, there will be no danger, in their eyes, I am a railway builder, how can they embarrass me?" ”

Chen Fei was about to speak, when he heard several soldiers shouting, "Why did you say something for so long?" Is it over? ”

Lin Yuan hurriedly turned around and said, "It's over, it's over!" Then he said to Chen Fei: "Go back, wait for my news." After speaking, he ignored Chen Fei, turned his head to a few soldiers, and one of the soldiers asked, "What do you call it?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "My surname is Lin, and everyone calls me Master Lin. ”

The soldier was very polite to Lin Yuan and said, "Master Lin, please come with us, our sentry commander is invited." ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Is the sentry commander invited?" It seems that there is a defender stationed here, but there are no certain rules for the establishment of the Qing army's training and brave troops, so how many people are in a post is different, and I should find out from this soldier's mouth. So Lin Yuan said in admiration: "Sentry commander? This official must be big, right? Can you manage 5,000 men? ”

As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers laughed, and one of the soldiers said: "Five thousand people, even five hundred people can't manage it, and our outpost is less than two hundred!" ”

Lin Yuan smiled secretly in his heart: "These soldiers don't have any sense of secrecy at all, and they told me their compilation information so easily!" Dasanguan is the main road between Gansu and Shaanxi, and since there are so few people guarding it, I should take it immediately! Lin Yuan thought as he walked up the mountain road with the soldiers, there were high mountains on both sides of the mountain road, and there was a small road between the high mountains, and the Dasanguan Guancheng was located on the hillside of the small road, blocking the path like a big lock.

Outside the gate, a group of people were building a fence out of wood, and the soldier shouted to an officer: "Report to the sentry chief, we have caught a guy who knows the railroad!" As he spoke, he pointed at Lin Yuan with his hand, and the sentry chief turned his head, looked at Lin Yuan happily, and said, "Great! ”

Without waiting for Lin Yuan to speak, the sentry commander took Lin Yuan to the edge of the city, pointed to the wall and said, "Look at this wall, most of it has collapsed, I can't figure it out, why didn't your people repair the wall together when they were building the railway?" ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Dasanguan had the most wars in the Song and Jin dynasties, and the dividing line between Song and Jin was in Dasanguan at that time, so the city was strong, but with the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the main foreign enemies of the Central Plains Dynasty gradually transformed from the original northern nomads to the Japanese Kou on the southeast coast and the Jurchens in the northeast, and the strategic position of Dasanguan declined year by year, and finally in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, it was completely deserted, leaving only the ruins of the wall. ”

Lin Yuan smiled and asked, "Sentry Chief, what do you want us to do?" ”

The sentry pointed to the wall and said, "Can you help me repair the walls of the city?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled helplessly: "We are building railways, not city walls, how can we build Guancheng?" ”

The sentry chief frowned and said angrily, "Aren't they all built? What's the difference? ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Building a railway and building a city wall are two very different jobs, how can they be confused, but this is a good opportunity to win the Dasanguan, first of all: the Guancheng of the Dasanguan is overturned, and they will have one less defense point; Secondly, their number was very small, only about two hundred, and more than half of them were cutting wood in the mountains and setting up camps, and there were only about fifty people in the camps; In the end, they didn't expect us to attack them at all, so there is a great chance that this battle will succeed! ”

Lin Yuan thought of this and smiled: "Okay, but we have to bring some tools, do you want to remove the roadblocks and let our car in?" ”

The sentry didn't think much of it, nodded and replied, "Very well, I'll let the barricades be removed." ”

Lin Yuan said: "Then I'll go back and bring someone over?" ”

The sentry commander nodded in agreement, and said to one of the soldiers beside him, "You go with him and see if there is anything you need help with." ”

The soldier nodded, and walked out of the camp with Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan saw that this little soldier was very young, so he asked, "What's your name?" How many years have you been in the army? ”

The soldier was not arrogant, and replied with a smile: "My surname is Li, I don't have a name, because I am the youngest, and everyone calls me Li Xiao." ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "I guess you are definitely not sixteen years old. ”

Li Xiaoxiao smiled: "I really let you guess, I'm fifteen years old this year, don't look at me young, I've been a soldier for five years!" ”

Lin Yuan asked in surprise, "You became a soldier at the age of ten?" ”

Li Xiao nodded and said, "Of course, at the beginning, I did chores in the barracks, and when I grew up, I would give a gun." ”

The two walked to the side of the barricade while talking, Li Xiao gave a few words to the guards on the side, and several guards went to move the barricade.
