1223 Blank Letter

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "The Jiangbei camp was set up by the Qing court to prevent the Taiping army from going north, and the role of this Hejian camp is very similar to that of the Jiangbei camp, it seems that the Qing court regards me as the Taiping army." Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Of course I have heard of the Jiangbei camp, and I have heard that this Jiangbei camp was broken twice by the Taiping Army, and the two commanders lost their lives and one lost the black yarn, I don't know if Mr. Ludao special envoy knows these things?" ”

Liu Yufeng heard that Lin Yuan intended to tease the envoy, and immediately took the lead in laughing, and everyone also laughed, the envoy had a burst of embarrassment on his face, and then sneered: "The Hejian camp is set up to stop the bandits, because this camp is located in Hejian Mansion, so it is called Hejian Camp, such a camp is not only in Hejian Mansion, but also in Dezhou, and on the banks of the Yellow River!" Lin Wei, this big battalion has millions of soldiers, and it is difficult for you to move an inch. ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Since your camp can make it difficult for me to move an inch, then it is enough for you to set up a large camp between the rivers, why do you need to set up the Texas camp and the Yellow River camp?" ”

As soon as Lin Yuan's words came out, Liu Yufeng's laughter became even louder, and the envoy was furious, but Lin Yuan's words just caught the loophole in his words, even if the envoy was angry, he had nothing to say, so he could only be angry with himself.

Lin Yuan looked at the embarrassed envoy and the laughing subordinates, waved his hand to stop everyone's laughter, and said seriously: "Okay, okay, don't laugh, the envoy is stupid and can't speak, this is someone's shortcoming, how can you laugh at someone's shortcomings?" ”

When the envoy saw Lin Yuan scolding himself, he was still scolding with righteousness and strictness, and secretly scolded in his heart: "What is there to be angry about a rebel!" So he said angrily: "Lin Yuan, don't be like a woman!" As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom and sneered: "This is a letter from our commander Lord Duoqi to you, you can take a good look at it." ”

Lin Yuan gave Liu Yufeng a look, Liu Yufeng stepped forward to answer the letter, and when the envoy saw Liu Yufeng, he thought: "This person is the first person to laugh, and he laughs the loudest, and now he is the one who comes to answer the letter!" The envoy became angry and threw the letter on the ground with a flick of his hand.

When giving something to others, throwing it on the ground for people to pick it up is a great humiliation for people, Liu Yufeng was about to get angry when he looked at the letter on the ground, Lin Yuan smiled behind him: "Yufeng, don't be angry, come back." ”

Liu Yufeng gritted his teeth and returned to Lin Yuan, and said angrily: "My lord, he threw the letter on the ground for us to pick up, humiliating us like this, can't we be angry?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "He threw him, what are you doing when you are angry?" ”

Liu Yufeng frowned, wondering in his heart why Lin Shuai would still be submissive? At this time, I saw Lin Yuan take out a pen and paper from the table, write something bit by bit, then put the paper into an envelope, took the letter and said to the envoy: "This is my reply to Duoqi. ”

Lin Yuan shook his hand after speaking, and the letter fell at the envoy's feet with a snap, and the envoy asked, "Lin Yi, you haven't read the letter, how can you write a reply?" ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "That letter is not a reply, the content on it is very important, as for how important it is, Lord Duoqi will naturally understand after reading the letter, I hope you can bring it to Lord Duoqi, and also, you better not read it." ”

The envoy thought about it again and again, but still lowered his head and picked up the letter, Lin Yuan smiled at Liu Yufeng and said, "He has lowered his head to pick up the letter, you should also go and pick up the letter." Liu Yufeng smiled, picked up the letter and handed it to Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan opened it and took a look, only to see that it was full of words scolding him for being disloyal and unfilial, and persuaded himself to surrender to the Qing court, Lin Yuan looked at a few lines and put the letter aside.

When the envoy saw Lin Yuan put the letter aside, he thought that he had read the letter, and said loudly: "Lin Yuan, let's return to the Qing Dynasty as soon as possible." ”

Lin Yuan smiled helplessly: "Is your Lord Duoqi's head made of wood?" Look at me now, the soldiers are well fed, and Duoqi doesn't want to think about it, how can I surrender? Tell Doki to give me this letter one day when I'm desperate. After speaking, he handed the letter to Liu Yufeng, and Liu Yufeng took the letter and returned it to the envoy.

The envoy didn't say anything after receiving the letter, turned around and left, returned to the camp between the rivers, first took Lin Yuan's words aside, and then took out the letter to Duo Qi, Duo Qi was extremely surprised, and thought: "Lin Yuan actually said that there is something important in the letter, I don't know what it will be?" ”

Duoqi opened the envelope, took out the letter, and when he saw it, his face was flushed with anger, and he reached out to smash the letter! The envoy hurriedly asked with a flattering smile: "My lord, what is written on Lin Zhixin?" Makes you so angry? The envoy lay on the ground as he spoke, pouting his ass and picking up the pieces to put the letter together, but Doki said fiercely: "Don't fight, the letter is blank!" ”

The envoy looked surprised and said, "There is such a thing! I saw him write with my own eyes! ”

Duoqi slammed his fist on the table and said angrily: "You have been deceived by Lin Rebellion!" A good Lin Yuan, insulting me too much, come here, order 5,000 elite soldiers, cross the river, and capture Lin Yuan alive! ”

Lin Yuan was telling the crowd in the camp about how he used a blank letter to deceive the envoy, when he heard someone report that the Qing army on the other side came out of the camp and seemed to be crossing the river!

Lin Yuan hurriedly led people to the riverside position, only to see that the Qing army on the opposite side did not know where to get a number of small boats, each small boat sat ten people, each with an oar, towards Lin Yuan's position, for a time the river was full of Qing army boats, like a group of ants.

Lin Yuan said in surprise: "Is the Qing army going crazy? Don't they know how strong the firepower of our troops is? How dare they just let their troops come in small boats? ”

Xiao Yingwu also said on the side: "That's right, is it true that the enemy's commander doesn't have a long brain?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Could it be that there is fraud here? Immediately let the reconnaissance battalion reconnoiter an area of 10 kilometers, no, 15 kilometers on both sides of our position, and see if any Qing troops slipped over and attacked secretly! If you notice a sneak attack, report it immediately. ”

The reconnaissance battalion set off, and the Qing army on the opposite side was still crossing the river like a snail, Lin Yuan said: "Let the psychological warfare detachment be dispatched to persuade the enemy on the river to surrender, and then let the heavy machine guns fire, control the rhythm of fighting and persuasion, first persuade for a while, and then fight for a while, and persuade as many enemies as possible." ”

After Lin Yuan finished the order, someone went to convey the order, and the time was not big, "Surrender, Qing army brothers, if you surrender, please put down your banner" The voice sounded on the river, but the Qing army was unmoved, or rushed forward with the banner high, at this time the order to open fire was issued in various positions, and bullets rained down on the small wooden boats of the Qing army.

The wooden boat of the Qing army is a small sampan, the kind that the common people usually use to cross the river, the inside is very shallow, the whole upper body is exposed outside after the person sits inside, there is no place to hide from the bullets, and the boat is not sheltered on the river, so the target is very obvious, often a string of bullets can hit a boatload of people into the water.

The shooting lasted less than a minute before it stopped, and the loudspeaker of the psychological warfare detachment sounded again: "Brothers of the Qing army, surrender quickly!" Those who come here have meat to eat! Fang Cai's shooting had a certain effect, the big flags of more than a dozen small boats had been put down, and they accelerated their rowing to surrender to Lin Yuan, and Duo Qi in the back hurriedly ordered the troops to be withdrawn when they saw this situation.
