"Lord, Duan Zhenmin has 3,000 men and horses, and our army only has 2,000, will it?" After Duan Yu surrendered, Fa Zheng couldn't help but worry that the lord was weak and the minister was strong, so he said while Duan Yu went down to arrange soldiers and horses. Jia Xu also said at this time: "My lord, if you only give him one day of military rations at a time and deliver them every day, then even if the people of Duan Zhenmin have different intentions, there will be no food in the army." ”

Chen Lin smiled at the strategists who had exhausted the two organs, and said: "There is no suspicion that there is no suspicion in employing people, since you are determined to surrender, and you are also sincere in surrendering, and you are so precautionary, isn't it unpopular, what is this." At present, there is no intention of forming a new army, all the 5,000 men and horses in Lantian are unified into one army, led by a certain person, Xiongming is already the commander of the guards, and the townspeople can't favor one over the other, and they are all under the command of the guards. Huang Yan is the orthodox leader, Zhou Cang is the deputy leader, and Xiongming and the townspeople are all under the control of the two. Also, Wenhe, where is Shi Ah now, this person may be of my use? ”

Jia Xu: "My lord, Xu is incompetent, I originally thought that I would have the opportunity to recruit this person when I entered my Yizhou military camp, but I didn't expect that the thoughts of these people in the rivers and lakes were indeed incomprehensible. Shi A has already said that although the master let him come down the mountain, Shi A doesn't like the affairs of the court, and wants to be a happy and vengeful knight, and will go to Chang'an in a few days to replace the master to restore the emperor's life, and then wander the rivers and lakes. ”

Chen Lin was stunned, such a character can't be taken for his own use, but a person like Shi A is not someone who can be forced, and he is only afraid that he will suffer a loss, Chen Lin sighed and said: "How proud the rivers and lakes are, how many heroes in the world, how can you know all the heroes in the world, it's just that, Wenhe sent a hundred taels of gold to Shi A, how to say that you think about it yourself, even if such a character can't be used by me, it's good to get acquainted." ”

Shi A's martial arts are superb, but Chen Lin is not very pity, through the process of Chen Lin, Jia Xu and others discussing with Shi A how to deal with Duan Zhongming that night, Chen Lin can see that Shi A is not good at anything else, and he doesn't even have basic military knowledge. That is to say, such a person can be a guard, and even he can't be a deputy commander, maybe he is used to being alone, this is the difference between a ranger and a soldier.

"I'm going to Chang'an." Chen Lin looked at the direction of Chang'an in the northwest, and didn't know where it was now. Jia Xu and others were shocked, now Fan Chou and others have surrounded Chang'an with an army of more than 100,000 people, and now they are going to Chang'an, isn't they throwing themselves into the net. "A certain one took Zhou Cang with the townspeople, there are few people and the target is small, when you get to the city of Chang'an, you can climb up the wall, presumably the defenders of Chang'an will not even be afraid of three or two people."

It was useless to refute, and on the second day, Chen Lin took Zhou Cang and Duan Yu and two other guards, a total of five people, to go out of the city in the dark, beat their horses and ran to Chang'an. Chen Lin was reluctant to take Huang Yan away, Lantian needed a general to preside, Jia Xu Fazheng and the two of them were wise and crowned in the world, but when there was no chaos, they were still good generals, and Liu Zhao was not injured yet, so he couldn't take it. Taking Duan Yu away is just enough to give time Huang Yan is here to reorganize the three thousand soldiers and horses, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Chen Lin deliberately let Duan Yu go to the military camp.

There is a section of the route from Lantian to Chang'an that is the same as going to Huayin, but it is diverged at the foot of Huashan Mountain, Huayin is in the east, and continues along the mountain. Chang'an is in the west, a horse and a flat river, among which there are some scattered villages. Duan Yu and Chen Lin walked side by side, this was also Chen Lin's intention, and Duan Yu also knew that Chen Lin's purpose for bringing him was to control the three thousand people. But Duan Yu himself is not a careerist, and after Duan Yu arrived in Lantian and saw that Duan Zhongming's family was properly arranged, Chen Lin was also sincere to himself these days. It is impossible to say that Duan Yu is not moved, at this time Duan Yu has basically eliminated the estrangement between the two, Duan Yu pointed to an abandoned house and said to Chen Lin: "Alas, in the first few years, how prosperous this Jing Zhaoyin was at that time. ”

Before Dong Zhuo took power, although this Jing Zhao Yin was the front station of the Han Dynasty to deal with Xiliang, it was extremely prosperous, comparable to Luoyang, nearly 200,000 households and millions of people in the land of Sanfu, of which Jing Zhao Yin accounted for half, after Dong Zhuo moved the capital, although he successfully brought hundreds of thousands of people alive to settle in Jing Zhao Yin, near Chang'an. But Dong Zhuo is not benevolent and industrious, the people here live in misery, countless deaths and injuries, just last year's heavy rain, Jing Zhaoyin's desperate people rose up to grab grain, Dong Zhuo not only did not open the warehouse to release grain, but sent a large army to suppress, 200,000 people were killed. The population has gone to thirty percent, and the ruins in front of him are not preserved as the ruins of Dong Zhuo's slaughtered village.

The closer to Chang'an, the sparser the population, probably because they were afraid of the chaos and fled. Wave after wave of anti-army scouts, more and more dense, originally encountered a group in an hour, but now the closer to Chang'an, almost a quarter of an hour can meet a group, this is probably the benefit of Ma Duo. Chen Lin and his entourage of five people walked and stopped, and Zhou Cang, the hidden master, was there, and there was no danger along the way. Zhou Cang was a trafficker of illicit salt back then, in order to avoid the government, not only was there wind under his feet, but there was also an endless stream of these hiding methods, which even Chen Lin was dumbfounded, he never knew that Zhou Cang still had this ability, should he be a scout.

When he was close to Chang'an, Chen Lin didn't dare to go on the road during the day, so he had to wait until after dark before he dared to move forward. In just thirty miles, and riding horses, it was almost dawn before Chen Lin and the five of them saw the outline of the city wall of Chang'an. Although the rebel army in Xiliang besieged Chang'an, it could not be really encircled by people and horses. Chen Lin and the others looked at the southeast corner of Chang'an, a place three or four miles away from the East Gate Camp and the South Gate Camp. The horses were too daring to ask for them, so they had to be let go. The five people bowed their waists and slowly moved forward, this god is really cooperative, and he can't see his five fingers.

The defenders in the city are estimated to be in a deep sleep, and the two of Chen Lin's five people are the best choices, real climbing masters, I saw Chen Lin whispering to these two people: "If you alarm the defenders after going up, immediately abandon your weapon to identify yourself, don't cause conflicts, and don't be shot by the defenders in a daze." If no one finds out, throw the rope down first, and pull someone up. Then they each took out a bundle of reins, and there was a small five-flower hook in front of the rope, and the rope was also different from the ordinary rope, small and flexible. The two of them looked up at the tall city wall, measured it, took a few steps back, took the five-flower hook and threw it a few times in the air, turning faster and faster, and suddenly let go, the five-flower hook was like a sharp arrow, and went straight to the wall. Barely audible, I saw that the rope should be firmly hooked on the wall, and the nimble guards became as light as swallows at this time, and the monkeys climbed the trees straight up the wall.

Chen Lin was nervous, only afraid that there would be a misunderstanding on the wall, there was no sound, no movement, and he was not discovered by the defenders. Chen Lin saw that the rope shook a few times, which was a signal for Chen Lin and the three of them to climb up. Chen Lin pinned the knife to his belt: "Zhou Cang's palace." He and Duan Yu both grabbed the rope and climbed up, it was hard, this was Chen Lin's biggest feeling, it was even harder than drawing a knife. Chen Lin was just pulled up to the wall when he heard a loud shout: "Who?" Then hurried footsteps came madly, shouting, and the torches were lit. This is a dead end, and the defenders themselves are few, so I saw that this would rush from both the east and south walls of a group of men.

Chen Lin shouted: "Pull Zhou Cang." He said this to the guard, and then stepped forward and shouted to the comer: "Don't let go of the arrows, don't let go of the arrows, we will surrender, we will surrender." At this time, it is useless to explain any identity, only the word surrender is the most appropriate. Zhou Cang gasped and went up to the city wall, but the defenders rushed over with momentum, and when they heard Chen Lin shouting to surrender, they didn't care, more than a dozen people directly pointed their spears at Chen Lin. Chen Lin turned around and shouted: "Don't do it, put down your weapon." ”

I saw that the defenders threw several torches under the city at this time, and when they looked at the city, they heard someone shouting: "General, there is no one under the city." At this time, Chen Lin and the five people had already been surrounded, and the military general called the general appeared, dressed in armor, full of scum, and shouted: "What a gut, just five people dare to come and rob the city." He had already heard his subordinates say that there was no one else in the city: "Tie up." ”

Zhou Cang was still furious, Chen Lin hurriedly stopped it, and shouted loudly: "The general misunderstood, a certain is Yizhou Mu Chen Bozhi, and the official seal is here." When the general heard this, he shouted: "Slow" The soldiers who rushed up to tie up Chen Lin immediately stopped. The general thought to himself, it's just five people, what tricks can you play, Yizhou Mu? With a wave of his hand, a soldier immediately stepped forward and took the big seal in Chen Lin's hand. As soon as the general saw it, it was true, this was true, and he didn't know if the person was real. However, a Yizhou Mu is a great official, and it is not something that he, the general of the city gate, can offend. It's just now-

"My lord, who are you?" The general couldn't help but wonder, half-convinced. When Chen Lin heard this, at least he didn't tie himself up, and said, "What is the name of the general, and who is it controlled?" ”

"This general Niu Er is the general of the South Gate City Gate, and he is the subordinate of General Zhang Wenyuan of Zhonglang General Bi Shuihou."

Chen Lin was shocked, Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan, one of the three heroes and two heroes under the Bishui Pass back then, Chen Lin hurriedly shouted: "Quickly take a certain person to see your general, your general knows so." ”

"You, hurry back to your post, everyone goes up to the city wall only to find that if it is an enemy, your life is still there? Go, don't be lazy. Niu Er hurriedly commanded everyone to return to their posts to guard the city and patrol the night. Then he directly asked Chen Lin to go down to the city and go to the city. Chen Lin is five people, a full fifty people are with him, Niu Er is not stupid, although he does not dare to offend, but before confirming, he is still careful.

Chen Lin saw Niu Er halfway through and asked a person to jump out of the team and run back to the city first, presumably to report the news. Niu Er was also worried in his heart, if this Chen Lin was not Yizhou Mu, it would not be a good thing to disturb Zhang Liao in the middle of the night. The group came to a mansion, Zhang's mansion, maybe Zhang Liao's mansion, but saw a majestic general standing in front of the mansion, although he was not armor, but he was heroic, it was Zhang Liao. Chen Lin couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration: "What a tiger general." ”

"General Zhang is good, do you still recognize the old man?" Chen Lin laughed, Zhang Liao was obviously agitated, he didn't really believe that it was really Chen Lin, and now that he saw him, he had to believe it. Zhang Liao couldn't explain the feeling in his heart, but he only felt that Chen Lin was bold, hearty, and a little incredible. He knew that Chen Lin was in Lantian, and even if the army besieged the city, he couldn't hide it from Zhang Liao, but Chen Lin dared to come to Chang'an alone, which was a bit unexpected.

"Why did Lord Chen come here?" Zhang Liao couldn't help but exclaim.

"The court is in trouble, how can it not come." The righteousness was immense, Zhang Liao's heart was agitated, and he hurriedly led to the house.

Niu Er patted his chest in the back: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
