Chapter 244: Keep them to give Li Zicheng a letter to the third watch
In one of Lin Yi's battalions, two generals arrived at a place where no one was, looked out at one of them and said to the other, "Brother Li, do you still recognize me?"
"Brother Wang, I already knew it was you, so how could I not know it, we were all under King Chuang before."
"Yes, yes, Brother Li is mixing well now?"
"Of course. When you meet a good person, you are also blessed, although you are a few days late, but you met Lord Lin, this is the blessing you cultivated in your previous life. ”
The person surnamed Li looked at it again in private, and lowered his voice, "Brother Li, although Lord Lin is good, King Chuang is not bad for us, we can't eat inside and out, little brother is here to ...... this time."
"What did you say?" The general surnamed Li immediately turned his face, raised his voice, and shouted angrily, "Wang Sheng, what are you doing here?" Say, don't tell the truth, today Lao Tzu killed you! As he spoke, he pulled out his waist knife.
This man named Wang Sheng had just escaped from the city, and he was so frightened that he trembled, "Brother Li, don't make any noise, you listen to me finish talking......"
"What else do you say? Come on, he is a spy sent by Li Zicheng......" The general surnamed Li shouted.
Wang Sheng saw that he couldn't help it, and pulled out the knife, "Since your six relatives don't recognize it, eat inside and out, I will kill you for King Chuang!" ”
The general surnamed Li was furious: "You kid is the one who eats inside and out, backtracks, and takes his life!"
The two men fought, and several more generals ran over, but the man named Wang was quickly subdued, put down his sword, and pressed him to the ground and tied up.
"Let's go, take him to the adults to interrogate him strictly, and find out who his accomplices are?" ……
Lin Yi's other camp was just dark. Two generals also arrived at the corner, one after the other.
"Big brother, we used to be fellow villagers, and we were still relatives, remember?"
"Then why don't you remember, brother, you are here too, it just so happens that my eldest brother is thinking about you these days, but I don't know your current situation, and I can't contact you, you are here now, the sky has eyes, and our brothers can do it together again."
"Oh yes, yes, yes," the smile on the face of this brother was a little reluctant, and he glanced around, but no one paid attention to them, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, we are all our own brothers, I will say it directly."
"Oh, what are you grinding? Tell me something. ”
"That...... I came this time by order, not genuinely......"
"What do you say? You repeat? The face of this big brother immediately changed, he looked to the side, and saw that there was no one outside, "We are fellow villagers, and we have a little relative, we have been together for so long, I still treat you as a brother, but today I warn you, this must not be said again, you are trying to kill me, replace someone else, I would have slaughtered him a long time ago!" ”
"Big brother, even if you kill me, you have to wait for me to finish speaking, King Chuang is not bad for us, people have to have a conscience, I know that the eldest brother is not bad here, there is food, drink and money to spend, but how can I bear to be sentenced to break into the king?"
"Shut up! Yes, King Chuang is not bad for me, but I have already sold his life to him, and it is enough to repay him. After I was captured by Lord Lin, Lord Lin did not fight or kill, this is a life-saving grace, let us be soldiers, have food, drink and clothing, and money to spend, and do not discriminate against us at all, and now I have made meritorious contributions, this is all given by Lord Lin, such kindness, you let me betray Lord Lin, then where is my conscience? And you, as soon as you come over, Lord Lin has no doubt that you will be rewarded with good food and drink, when did King Chuang treat you like this? Now you are going undercover, eating inside and out, but harming Lord Lin, your conscience is called a dog to eat? ”
When the brother's face was red and his neck was thick, and he was about to say something, when the brother's interrupted him again, "No matter how good it is to follow King Chuang, we are thieves after all, what's good about being a thief?" Since ancient times, how many have fought against the imperial court, and how many have a good end? The reason why we rebelled at the beginning was to eat, and we couldn't go on, it was purely a last resort, but now it's different, where to go, think about it yourself. ”
When the brother was silent for a moment, when the brother said: "After all, we are brothers, if you are willing to stay today, I will not say anything, if it is difficult to accept, you can also go to your king, I can let you go, if Lord Lin knows what crime to treat me, I will admit it, the right is for my brother, but I will definitely not betray Lord Lin, you go, I really didn't expect you to be such a person!"
When the brother walked a few steps and came back, "Big brother is my fool, I decided to stay with you, you are right, I am no longer a thief, I want to follow Lord Lin." ”
"This is a good brother, go, find Lord Zongqi to show your loyalty, and tell who your accomplices are, it can be regarded as a meritorious service...... "Under the cover of night, the two disappeared......
A few days later, the commanders of each battalion came to report to Lin Yi, "The Great Commander LinkedIn Ming, the one who escaped from Nanyang City and surrendered Cheng is really deceitful, and the Great Commander is really clever in this sugar-coated cannonball, and now all these 1,000 people have been purged, and there are dozens of people who would rather die than surrender, we have arrested him, how to deal with it, please let the Great Commander show me, and the rest are all willing to stay and serve the Great Commander." ”
"Well, that's good," Lin Yi nodded, glanced at Zhezhe and Xiaoying and the others, Zhezhe and Xiaoying clapped their little hands, and extended a thumbs up to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi continued: "Don't cut off their heads for these dozens of people, let them go back and send a letter to Li Zicheng, tell them, let him remember these words clearly, seeing King Chuang and his generals say this, now there are nearly 1,000 more people in our camp, this is all thanks to Li Zicheng, I, Lin Yi, am grateful, but 1,000 people are too few, let Li Zicheng send more soldiers to be undercover next time, we are short of manpower here!"
Xiao Ying, Zhezhe, Zhang Hua and others couldn't help but laugh out loud. If these words really stay on Li Zicheng's side, they will be mad.
Dongsheng, Gan Bao, Jiang Xingyuan and other commanders of the battalions laughed even more, and returned to the camp after receiving the order, and after explaining a few words to those people according to Linyi's instructions, dozens of people were released.
These people thought that they would definitely die this time, but they didn't expect to get another life, and after leaving Lin Yi's camp, they hurriedly ran to Nanyang City like a fish that slipped through the net......
In Nanyang City, Li Zicheng released a thousand people, and he felt confident that he and his wife Gao Guiying were waiting for the news of the Ming army camp outside.
At the same time, they were fully prepared, and now there were only more than 7,000 soldiers under Li Zicheng in the city. These more than 7,000 people, of course, include the women's battalion and child soldiers.
After all the 7,000 men and horses were assembled, they were divided into the front army and the rear army, and the generals under them, Liu Zongmin, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, Li Guo, and Li Laiheng Tian Jianxiu, also carried out a specific division of labor, just waiting for Lin Yi's camp outside the city to be in chaos, they began to break through, and they also planned to drill into the mountains and forests after the inside and outside were combined.
Otherwise, after a long time, there are more and more officers and soldiers outside, they have no food and grass and no rescuers outside, the lonely city is uncomfortable, and they will be trapped and die here, so they must break through, they decided to give up Nanyang City and go to live in the mountains and forests.
A few days passed, and there was no movement in Lin Yi's camp outside the city.
The generals began to discuss, there would be no problems, right? Supposedly, it's been a few days, and they're long overdue for action.
Li Zicheng calmed everyone down and said that this matter must be fine. These undercover agents first have to hide themselves, gain Lin Yi's trust, and then find their accomplices to rebel, and then they are looking for an opportunity to start an incident, which takes time.
The 1,000 people they chose were all former henchmen of each battalion, and they were all loyal to them, and there would be absolutely no problem. But it was not easy to fool Lin Yi and their men.
In this way, they waited patiently for a few more days, and still did not move. Li Zicheng and Gao Guiying also had some arcs in their hearts, counting on their fingers, it has been more than ten days since they left early, and eight or nine days since they left late, so it is supposed to be action?
At this moment, someone came to report that the man they had sent had returned.
"Coming back?" Li Zicheng and Gao Guiying looked at each other with shocked faces when they heard this, how could they come back? "Where are the people? How many come back? ”
"Back to the prince, only a few dozen people came back."
Soon, these dozens of people came to Li Zicheng and his wife, knelt on the ground, and told the details of the process, and Li Cheng and his wife knew that their trick had already been seen through by Lin Yi. The 1,000 people were all wiped out, and all of them became Lin Yi's generals, making the fake come true, self-defeating, and the 1,000 henchmen who were released are now only these dozens of people back.
Li Zicheng was annoyed and angry, pulled out a sword, and pointed at these dozens of people: "Why did you come back?" Why didn't you take refuge in the surnamed Lin, and why didn't he kill you......"
"Chuang Wang Ye spared his life, Chuang Wang Ye is kind to us, we said that we would not betray Chuang Wang Ye even if we died, the surname Lin said let us come and give you a message, so he didn't kill us, what we said is true, please check it out." These people were so frightened that they kowtowed.
"Carrying a letter, carrying a letter?" How high did the blue muscles on Li Zicheng's face jump?
The man surnamed Lin said, he said,...... They have now added another 1,000 people, and these are all thanks to the prince, and he thank you. However, a thousand people is a bit less, if the prince sends someone to be an undercover agent next time, let you send more, they are short of manpower! ”
"Oops!" After Li Zicheng heard this, he felt that the sky was spinning, and he was about to fall down as soon as it was dark, and Gao Guiying next to him hurriedly helped him.
"Chuang Wang, Chuang Wang...... Gao Guiying, Hui Ying, Hui Mei, Double Happiness, and so on also came over to shout.
It took a long time for Li Zicheng to open his eyes, paused, he pushed Gao Guiying and the others away, and his face returned to normal: "I'm fine, pass my order, let Jiexuan, Yufeng, Li Guo and others all come over and gather......"
