Lan Ziyi asked again:

"When it is peaceful today, there is nothing to do in all directions, the emperor is sage, and the sea is peaceful, you are all good citizens, why should you be bewitched by others, rebel against people, and mess up this peaceful world?"

was asked by Lan Ziyi, and someone at the bottom looked up and said:

"The imperial court has been fighting for many years, but we ordinary people are hungry every day, and we can still kill pigs to eat during the Chinese New Year in previous years, and we can't even eat pigs in order to supply the Northern Expedition during the Chinese New Year this year. After the battle was finally completed, the result was to measure the land, picket the household registration, and those who concealed the household registration had to be fined, killed, and sent us to a deserted place in the north to go to the real border. ”

The officers and soldiers on the horses burst into shouts when they heard this:

"Shut up! The thief is talking nonsense! ”

Lan Ziyi stretched out his hand to stop the sergeant who was speaking, and said:

"I let them say it, let them say whatever they want."

A sergeant reminded Lan Ziyi:

"Master Hou, these words are all rebellious rumors, if we are heard by Taichengwei, we are afraid that we will be in trouble."

Lan Ziyi heard this, and said in a loud voice:

"Taichengwei is arresting thieves who confuse the public with evil words, not people who have suffering words. The imperial court failed to understand the public opinion in time, which eventually led to a popular uprising, so that the north and south of the river are now suffering from military disasters, and the demon thieves are directly targeting Gyeonggi. At this time, if the imperial court still stops hearing and hearing, it will be a big joke to cover up and steal the bell.

I, Lan Ziyi, do things by myself, Taichengwei will check on me, and I won't be implicated! “

After Lan Ziyi said this, the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion present all bowed their heads and stopped talking, and although the kneeling demon thieves couldn't understand Lan Ziyi's words, they also knew that the young general who spoke was not a corrupt official.

Lan Ziyi adjusted his breathing, and then asked the thief who was kneeling in front of the horse:

"You've been defeated, are you willing to surrender?"

No one said anything about the thieves in front of the horse, and there was only silence in the audience except for the sound of rain.

Lan Ziyi looked at the thief for a moment, his eyes turned sharp, and he asked:

"How many people did you cross the river? How much grain and grass supplies did you bring? ”

Lan Ziyi's sudden question suddenly changed from chatting about the common problem just now to spying on the military situation, and this sudden change made the thieves very uncomfortable, they knelt on the ground and looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Lan Ziyi didn't give the thief time to react, and then immediately asked:

"You crossed the river and brought grain and grass for a few days? How does Lei Youde plan to attack? ”

Saying that, Lan Ziyi's face became warmer, and he said softly:

"Haven't you found yourself in your own situation? Lei Youde didn't take your name seriously at all, you just came alone, there was no backup, and now the thief camp on Jinzhou Island has not moved at all. You are outcasts, you are outcasts, what are you doing for Lei Youde at this time? It's not worth it. ”

When Lan Ziyi said this, his voice was full of emotion, and he simply had a heart-to-heart touching attitude, which moved everyone next to him. The thieves who knelt on the ground were also in a commotion,

Seeing that someone was about to speak among the thieves below, Lan Ziyi felt that the thieves must surrender to him, if this was the case, the thieves' hearts had really been shaken, and the battle behind them would be much easier.

At this time, someone in the crowd of thieves straightened up, and Lan Ziyi saw that this thief was going to speak, so he quickly turned around and looked at this thief.

The expression of the thief who stood up was unusually calm, quieter than the undisturbed lake in the deep mountains and old forests, as if he didn't take the people around him in his eyes at all, and he didn't take himself in his heart.

Seeing this, Lan Ziyi was not good, and sure enough, the thief said:

"Although we are thieves, we have also heard people say that they will do their best, general, you will not leave the word loyalty, we are General Lei's people, so naturally we must also be loyal to the general. Don't Lao Weihou say more, when we went out of the camp to cross the river, General Lei had already made it clear to us that there was no return to come and go when we came to rob the camp this time, we knew that we were a death squad, and Weihou didn't have to use this to divide us.

General Lei can trust us, and we are willing to follow General Lei to the end. We are already thieves of the court, and even if the court is willing to accept us, we will not have the face to live. I'm done with that, and it's up to the general to decide whether to live or die. “

The other thieves sighed when they heard this man, and then sank down in discouragement, but even in this way, no one objected.

Lan Ziyi knew that this group of people would not betray Lei Youde, at least in Lan Ziyi's place, they would not speak.

A sergeant asked Lan Ziyi:

"Master Hou, do you want to kill this group of people?"

Lan Ziyi shook his head and said:

"The killing is unknown, I, Lan Ziyi, am not that kind of beast. Some men were sent out to escort these people back to Beijing overnight. ”

After hearing Lan Ziyi's order, a sergeant asked:

"Why did Wei Hou escort people to the capital? The gates of the capital have been closed, and it is closer to the camp. “

Lan Ziyi replied:

"Tomorrow Lei Youde will definitely cross the river, then it will be a fierce battle, escort these people back to the camp and send people to watch them, our soldiers are not enough, tomorrow things will be tightened I am afraid that things will change.

However, the people in the capital were panicked after hearing that the thieves were coming, and the victory on the front line was just right to send back to Beijing to stabilize the people's hearts. Escort people back, escort them back so that the court and the people can see, the demon thief is not three-headed and six-armed. “

After listening to Lan Ziyi's explanation, the sergeants felt reasonable, and Tao Zhuhu began to assign people to escort the prisoners.

Before these people left, Lan Ziyi remembered something and asked the thief:

"If you are a death squad, then how can you notify the Jiang Xin camp after you succeed in the sneak attack? It is impossible for Lei Youde to let you come and die in vain without answering. “

The thief who had just stepped forward to answer turned around when he heard this:

"If we succeed in the sneak attack, the big camp will naturally know."

After saying that, the man followed the team and walked towards the capital.

Lan Ziyi touched his chin and thought carefully about what the thief meant by "naturally knowing". The peach rabbit on the side also asked:

"Young master, what do you mean by this? How do you naturally know? ”

Lan Ziyi thought about it and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, understood something, and hurriedly shouted:

"The thief has been beheaded, has anyone gone back to inform the camp?"

The soldiers heard the questions and asked each other for a while before the sergeant replied to Lan Ziyi:

"As soon as the demon thieves were dispersed, they sent people back, didn't General He go back just now?"

Lan Ziyi then ordered:

"Send someone back immediately, inform the captain, and ask the captain to prepare manpower to light a fire outside the camp gate in the east, and ask for the kind of fire that can be seen in the capital."

When the sergeants heard Lan Ziyi's strange order, Tao Zhuhu was the first to react and asked:

"The young master is trying to create an illusion that the demon thief has succeeded in sneaking up?"

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"Big brother is half right, I want to create the illusion of a demon thief attacking the camp rather than the illusion of a sneak attack, if it is really a fire that cannot be extinguished, wouldn't the demon thief cross the river tonight? Our soldiers are sleepy and tired, and we will not be able to gain any benefits from the black-lit melee. ”

The sergeants also understood Lan Ziyi's arrangement, and some sergeants hurriedly wanted to turn around and go back, but before the people left, the fire was lit up on the side of the camp, and billowing smoke rose from the ground, and they could see it clearly even on a rainy night.

Seeing this, the sergeants were all surprised: Could it be that the thieves still have a sneak attack team, and the stealing camp is successful? Lan Ziyi smiled after observing for a while:

"Taiwei God calculated, he actually calculated these one step ahead. We don't need to go back and report the news. ”

A sergeant asked:

"How did Wei Hou conclude that this fire was set off by the Taiwei?"

Lan Ziyi asked rhetorically:

"You look at the firelight and the smoke column is straight, just moving with the wind, there is no meaning of swaying left and right, and there is no way to roll bigger and bigger, this is obviously lit by people, not set on fire after being robbed of the camp."

When the sergeants heard this, they once again admired Lan Zi's clever calculation, but Tao Zhulu asked:

"This young master can see this, Lei Youde can also see it, if you can't confuse Lei Youde to light a fire, what's the point?"

Lan Ziyi touched his chin and said:

"I can only hope that Lei Youde is too far away to see clearly."

Then Lan Ziyi asked:

"Has the location of the thieves landed on the shore been discovered?"

A sergeant replied:

"Back to Weihou, a sergeant has already found the place where the demon thief went ashore."

Lan Ziyi immediately urged the horse, and at the same time said:

"Take me!"

Lan Ziyi arranged for Tao Zhuhu to command the remaining soldiers to clean up the battlefield, while Lan Ziyi himself led some men and horses to the place where the thieves landed with Tao Zhulu and Tao Zhutu.

The river was turbulent, and many of the thieves and boats docked on the shore had already been washed downstream, but Lan Ziyi could still see from the place where the thieves landed that the thieves were concentrated at one point.

Standing on the embankment and looking at the boats swinging in the river, Lan Ziyi said:

"I thought the thieves' ships were docked separately and regrouped after they landed."

桃扵鹿 says:

"The river is too fast, and it is difficult for the thieves to control the course, if the target of the thieves' attack is the big camp, they can only land here."

At this time, Peach Rabbit asked:

"So, if the demon thief crosses the river to the east tomorrow, the place where he landed is also here?"

Lan Ziyi touched his chin and thought carefully about the question of Tao Zhutu, and Tao Zhulu replied:

"If the river is still so fast, it should still be here."

Peach Rabbit said:

"What if tomorrow the thieves go directly down the river to attack the capital? Isn't the Green River just passing through the capital and directly entering the river? The thief Kouken drifted on the river for a day to attack the new pavilion, then he must be able to drift downstream and attack the capital directly. ”

At this time, a sergeant of the West Tiger Battalion interjected:

"The third young master of Tao is too worried, the Green River is good to enter the river through the capital, but there is also Mirror Lake in the north of the capital, and the mouth of the Green River after passing through the Mirror Lake is to go down the river to the east, if the thief wants to attack the capital along the Green River, he has to go upstream, such a big wave seems impossible. Moreover, there is also a Chijiao battalion water army in Jinghu, and it is unlikely that it will attack out of the river, so it is no problem to hold the mouth. ”

After listening to everyone's conversation, Lan Ziyi said:

"In any case, we must have enough rest before we can fight the bandits, so let's go back to the woods and sleep for a while before dawn, so as not to get sick with ourselves and our horses."
