After asking people to count the grain and grass in the city and urging the supply of grain and grass in each county, Yang Lin was about to rush back, and Senator Yin Chengqi came up and asked in a low voice: "My lord, Chen Yingrui is a domineering person, and now he is confronting the adult in public, and the adult should be reprimanded in public, otherwise everyone is like this, isn't this army chaotic?" ”

Yang Lin laughed, shook his head and said, "Brother Yin, I'm too worried." is still young at a young age, and he is also a halfway army, of course, he needs some old generals around him to remind him, so that he can't make mistakes.

The master once said that there must be my teacher in the threesome, and those who are in a position should not be self-contained and arrogant, and should be able to make good decisions. ”

Yin Chengqi raised his head, kept looking at each other left and right with wide eyes, causing Yang Lin to look embarrassed and smirk beside him.

At this moment, several horses came to the front, Luo Mengke turned over and dismounted, pulled a monk dressed in front of him, and arched his hand: "My lord, just now the secret whistle caught a spy."

This monk was hiding in the shadows, and he kept peeking at the fortifications of our army, and he was clearly a spy. ”

This monk was in his twenties, and he shouted in a foreign accent that he was wronged, claiming that he had traveled here, and he didn't know that the army was building fortifications, and he wanted to dodge, but he was caught by these military masters, and he said that he was a spy.

Yang Lin rolled his eyes, and by the way, he simply asked one or two things about the most basic Buddhism, and then shook his head and said: "Luo Xuan, Luo Xuan, this master is obviously a monk, how can he be a spy?"

If you are a spy, how can you understand the Dharma?

Don't blame the good people anymore, the next time you meet these monks or something, just like this official asks, if you really can't answer, you may be a spy. ”

Luo Mengke's face was full of astonishment, and he reluctantly let the monk go.

Seeing that the monk had already walked away, Yin Chengqi next to him smiled and said: "Lao Luo, why are you still standing here, my lord, this is a long line to hold a big fish, and you want to use this monk as bait to fish out Zhang Xianzhong's accomplices in the city?" ”

Luo Mengke was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly arched his hand and turned to leave.

After leaving the fortifications, the monk Yuanshan trotted all the way, ran for two miles, and only after seeing that there was no one on the left and right did he sit down to rest.

It was too thrilling just now, I thought that I would be resting for this life, but who would have expected that this young general would actually let himself go.

Historically, Zhang Xianzhong used soldiers like a god, and was the originator of the so-called guerrilla warfare, and every time he attacked the city, he would send a fine man disguised as a monk, Taoist priest and other idle people to blend into the city, listen to the military situation, and respond to the army.

At that time, Yang Sichang, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, offered a heavy reward to capture Zhang Xianzhong, and the next day a notice was posted in the city, offering a reward of 3 copper coins for Yang Sichang's head.

Last year, the Great Western Army captured the CD, that is, it sent a fine work to disguise himself as a monk and Taoist priest to blend into the city, and then the inside and outside joined forces to capture the CD city.

For the sake of prudence, before this time the troops were dispatched, Zhang Dingguo sent spies into the city, but because of the implementation of the ID card system, local men were registered and issued ID cards for free. (It should be an identity book).

In the past six months, Liukou sent more than ten small teams to Shunqing Mansion, but they were either found by the local officials, or they were afraid to check their ID cards and did not dare to go out.

In desperation, he had to use a killer move again and sent more than ten monks and Taoists.

In ancient times, monks and Taoists were mostly outsiders, and the people either respected them as gods or avoided them.

In addition to these reasons, because Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, had been a traveling monk, whether it was the royal family, the local government, or the general people, they all paid great respect to the monks and Taoists of Youfang.

Hearing that the volunteers were building fortifications outside the city, the others did not dare to observe it closely, Yuanshan was proud of his old qualifications, and took over this important task, who expected to be discovered by the officers and soldiers, and almost lost his old life.

With a long breath, he hid in the dark for a long time, and after being sure that no one was following him, Yuan Shanfang returned to the Guanyin Temple where he was staying and discussed with his accomplices how to further investigate the news.

But Yuanshan didn't notice that a middle-aged man on Qile Mountain in the distance was observing his every move with a monocular, and after seeing that he returned to Guanyin Temple, he even recruited more than a dozen people to let him lurk around Guanyin Temple after disguise.

Because of the last experience, Yuanshan is even more simple, sent other people to look at it from afar, so after three days, the situation is almost the same, write a secret letter, release the carrier pigeon, the patriarch breathed, was about to celebrate, suddenly from the outside more than 100 men in strong clothes, less than a moment to control the crowd.

Yuanshan cried out, but the men ignored it, pressed him to the ground, beat him with fifty horsewhips, and dragged him to the lobby.

Looking at Yuan Shan, who was still wailing, Yin Chengqi smiled and said, "Don't pretend, Zhang Shan'er, your subordinates have already made a move." The old man temporarily deposited your head, mainly to see whether you have a good conscience and whether you still help the abuse. ”

Zhang Shan'er was shocked, opened her eyes and looked carefully at Yin Chengqi and Luo Mengke who were sitting at the top, shook her head and said, "It's all recruited, they, what do they know?" ”

Yin Chengqi shook his head and said: "If people don't know, unless they don't do it."

You think you're smart, you have seven or eight subordinates, you have a full view of your every move, and the rest is just to make a living and eat, now in the lobby of my Shunqing Mansion, what's not to do?

Since most of them have been recruited, it doesn't matter if you don't recruit them, if you are still stubborn, the old man will immediately push you out and behead you, so as not to waste time. ”

That's all you have to offer? Zhang Shan'er shook her head, her voice trembled, and said: "Then, that, then drag Lao Tzu out and cut it, anyway, if you want to take something out of Lao Tzu, don't think about it." ”

Yin Chengqi laughed and said, "You think you are some important person, it's ridiculous."

Zhang Xianzhong wanted to attack Shunqing City this time, although he sent a lot of detailed work several times before and after, but because the army and people of Shunqing Mansion were united, it was difficult to start.

There is no way, Zhang Dingguo sent you to Shunqing City last month, and you came to Shunqing City on August 13, these are not wrong. ”

Zhang Shan'er was shocked, her voice trembled even more, and she glared at Yin Chengqi and said, "You, you, how is it possible, you know when Lao Tzu will arrive, how is it possible?" ”

The two glanced at each other, and Luo Mengke next to him took over the conversation and said: "You, you think you are smart, if you don't know, unless you don't do it." You're acting weirdly and you've been spotted as you beat the levels.

After receiving the report from the errand officer, the old man decided to put a long line to catch a big fish, and your every move in Shunqing City was monitored, so you can tell me, what value do you have. ”

Zhang Shan'er sweated like rain, shook her head again and again, and called it impossible.

Seeing this, Yin Chengqi was shocked and shouted: "Zhang Shan'er is a spy of the Great Western Army, spying on the military situation, and after being arrested, he was still obsessed, aiding and abusing, his conscience was extinguished, and he pushed left and right to behead him. ”

Zhang Shan'er was shocked, broke free from the officials who pushed and pulled, and said that she was willing to confess.

In order to save his life, Zhang Shan'er not only revealed the task, the military information he had spied on in the past few days, and the letters and plates to Zhang Dingguo, but also confessed four or five spies in Shunqing City in the past.

After carefully looking at the interrogation results handed over, after closing it for a long time, Yang Lin said: "As expected, give Zhang Shan'er a few days, and he didn't see anything.

What I am most concerned about is that Zhang Shan'er really passed the news of our army's large-scale construction of fortifications to Zhang Xianzhong, and it is expected that Zhang Dingguo will definitely relax his vigilance and believe that our army will defend Shunqing City. ”

Qian Bangxin, who was at the bottom of the head, shook his head and said, "My lord, do you want to lead the army to attack and fight against the Liukou?"

Our army has plenty of food and grass, on the other hand, although they occupy the CD Plain, but the damage is very serious, so there must be a serious shortage of food. ”

Yang Lin nodded and said: "I know all this, but now the Great Western Army has more than 50,000 soldiers and horses in Tongchuan Prefecture, and this time Zhang Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan are also leading tens of thousands of people, menacing, if they don't dampen their spirit, so some people will be afraid of the enemy like tigers." ”

There was no other good way for everyone to say yes.

Yang Lin left Qian Bangqi and Fan Wenguang to garrison the capital and urge the counties to transport grain and grass.

The autumn harvest had already ended, and half a month ago I had sent a letter to the counties, requesting that the grain be transported to Fucheng by ship as soon as possible.

Considering that the grain price was cheap after the autumn harvest was completed, the yamen uniformly purchased grain at the price of 6 yuan and a load of silver, which was equivalent to the grain price in the winter months of previous years.

Du Jigui, Wang Zhiyao, Yang Yongtai and others led the militia to continue to build fortifications, leaving Chen Huaixi to lead the naval army to strengthen the vigilance along the river and along the river, and personally led six battalions of soldiers and horses out of the city secretly, ambushing the liukou on the way.
