Lin Haotian bared his teeth in pain, and sure enough, he stopped the following words.

How could the red general not see Pan Yuan's small movements, and after thinking about it, he understood what he meant, he glared at Pan Yuan fiercely, and said in a deep voice: "Now is the time to employ people, these brothers all have the heart to serve the country, what's wrong? Pan Yuan, you don't want to get in the way!"

"General, they are just village soldiers, where have they fought with people, and where do they know the skills of defending the city, once the Jin people call, they will only get in the way and cause chaos for us!" Pan Yuan also wanted to make the most difficult efforts to send Lin Haotian and them out of the city.

The red general snorted and said: "No one is born to fight, as long as they practice diligently, not to mention, when the war breaks out, they can even transport materials and fight them! These brothers are all left, you don't have to say more!" As he spoke, he waved his hand to the left and right: "Lift the suspension bridge and close the city gate!"

It's over! Pan Yuan's heart was cold, and now even if Ma Wu and they wanted to, they couldn't leave.

Under the command of the red general, Lin Haotian and others transported all ten truckloads of grain into the granary in the city.

This large granary, covering an area of at least two or three basketball courts, should be seven or eight meters high, looking inside, there are only a few narrow walkways in the middle, and the rest of the space is filled with baskets of grain, Lin Haotian calculates that the current grain reserves are enough for 600,000 people to eat for three months, not to mention that the grain from all over the country is still being transported to Pufeng City.

If the Red Army continues to hoard like this, if the Red Army saves some money and holds on to Pufeng for half a year, it will be no problem, if the war really reaches that point, his army will have to be dragged away alive by the Red Army, and then the Yan State will participate again, and his own side will be defeated.

and so on to bring all the grain into the granary. The red general explained a few more words, then turned and left, and the other red soldiers also dispersed.

Seeing Pan Yuan striding away angrily, Lin Haotian hurriedly chased after him and said with a smile: "Is Brother Pan still angry that the younger brother insists on staying in the city?"

"I won't let you stay in the city for your own good. It's good for you to treat my kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs!" Pan Yuan first said angrily, and then sighed heavily, looked around at Lin Haotian and the others, and said meaningfully: "You haven't fought with the Jin people, and you don't know how terrible the Jin people are......

"That's why I'm waiting for Brother Pan to take care of it!" Lin Haotian smiled nonchalantly.

As soon as he saw his expression, he knew that Lu Dao still hadn't listened to his words, Pan Yuan shook his head helplessly, and said, "Let's go!"

"Are you going to the barracks?" Lin Haotian asked curiously.

"Barracks?" Pan Yuanle said, pointing around the surrounding houses. said: "Now the whole county town is a big military camp, as long as it is a house that no one lives in, you can live in it." However, all the good houses that are bigger are already full, and you can only live in broken houses. ”

"As long as there is a place to stay, we don't pick. Lin Haotian patted his chest and said, as he spoke, he suddenly remembered something. Reaching into his arms, he grabbed a handful of broken silver and copper coins from inside. said: "Brother Pan, the brothers came in a hurry, and they didn't bring any gifts, these ...... It's a little funny!" The money was all collected from the red soldiers and civilians they killed.

Pan Yuan is not a person who sees money, so he pushed back the money handed over by Lin Haotian and said, "You are Lao Wu's brother." It's my brothers, brothers, don't talk about this. ”

Lin Haotian looked at Pan Yuan in surprise, this person's character is indeed not bad, but it's a pity. He is a red man, not a golden man.

The house that Pan Yuan found for Lin Haotian and others is not bad, an independent courtyard, with a main house and a wing room, and they can live in it if they are squeezed down by more than 30 people, although it is a little dilapidated inside, but it is still no problem to shelter from the wind and rain.

Lin Haotian and the others naturally thanked Pan Yuan for their kindness, and asked him if there were any restaurants in the city and invited him to dinner.

Most of the people in Pufeng City have been relocated, but a small part has remained, and the huge county town, and the restaurants that are still open now are added together, and there are only about a dozen.

Pan Yuan took them to a small restaurant nearby, the place was small, but it was clean, and the proprietress who ran the restaurant was a woman in her early thirties, and it was said that her husband died on the battlefield in Zhengzhong County, and she was a widow with no children and no daughters.

The appearance of the proprietress is good, the skin is fair, the big eyes are watery, and it can be called the charm of abundance, which is almost impossible to find a few women in Pufeng City, the existence of the proprietress is too 'commendable'.

Because of this, even if this small restaurant is a little remote and dilapidated, there are still a lot of red soldiers who come to patronize, and there is an endless stream of guests every day.

When Pan Yuan took Lin Haotian, Shao Lin, Tong Lei, Zhang Shun and Wu Tao into the restaurant, there were already more than a dozen Red soldiers eating.

There was no empty table to sit on, Pan Yuan looked around, and saw that two red soldiers occupied a large table, he walked forward, patted the two on the shoulder, and said, "Brother, help, go to other tables and squeeze it!"

When the two red soldiers heard this, their eyes immediately widened, but when they saw Pan Yuan's cuirass engraved with the captain's print, their momentum immediately softened.

This is the case in the army, one level is the first level, and the captain is a small officer with the size of a mung bean, but it is still very deterrent to ordinary non-commissioned officers.

The two red soldiers were afraid of Captain Pan Yuan's identity, and even if they were unwilling, they had to stand up, take the dishes and chopsticks, and move them to other tables.

Pan Yuan sat down, then beckoned to Lin Haotian and the others, and said, "Come, come, come!"

Lin Haotian pretended to sit down timidly, and then asked in a low voice, "Does Brother Pan know those two brothers?"

"How is it possible? Hundreds of thousands of people, how can I know everyone?"

"Then why are they willing to give up their seats?"

Pan Yuan smiled, pointed back to the print on his chest, and said, "That's it!" As he spoke, he also saw the captain print on Lin Haotian's chest, and said: "Ma Wu, this is the Central Army, unlike your village soldiers, the captain and ordinary soldiers are neither high nor low, and they are not in the Central Army." It's very majestic to be the captain!" As he spoke, he deliberately straightened his chest.

Lin Haotian laughed secretly in his heart, a captain is very majestic, no matter which of the five of them is picked, he doesn't know how many levels higher than the captain is Lu Dao!

This Pan Yuan is a good person. But it's still quite good-looking! The more you get in touch, the more you can see Pan Yuan's personality, and the easier it is for Lin Haotian to talk from him.

At this time, a fragrant wind wafted in, and the proprietress of the restaurant came over, because the restaurant was too small, the proprietress was a buddy and a manager.

Lin Haotian turned his head to look and saw that the proprietress was wearing a plain dress. The neckline is slightly open, revealing patches of snow-white skin. In his impression, the Minjin of the Red Country is not open, and the woman dresses up like this, and she looks very frivolous, presumably, this is one of the tricks of the proprietress to attract diners.

When Lin Haotian looked at the proprietress of the proprietor, the latter also happened to see him. My eyes lit up.

If you don't talk about the inside, just look at the outside. Lin Haotian is indeed very attractive, beautiful and handsome, resolute and soft, his natural smile is easy to make people have a good impression of him, even if a man sees him, he can't help but take a few more looks, let alone a woman.

Lin Haotian smiled at the proprietress . Nodding slightly, he greeted politely, and then said to Pan Yuan: "Brother Pan wants to eat whatever he wants, just say it, don't be polite to the brothers." ”

"This is nature!" Pan Yuan loosened his armor and said with a smile: "I am the least likely to pretend." "Talking. He looked up and introduced to the proprietress and said, "These are all my brothers, how about it, they are all dignified!"

The proprietress snorted, stretched out her hand, naturally put it on Lin Haotian's shoulder, and said, "This little brother is really in good spirits, even more handsome than Captain Pan." ”

"Ha Luha!" Pan Yuan was not only not annoyed, but looked up and laughed, and said: "In terms of appearance, I am far inferior to Brother Ma!" After a pause, he said again: "Boss, take your bacon on a plate, and the rest of the dishes are casual, wine, come...... A pot is enough. ”

Although the Jin army has not yet reached Pufeng, it is also an extraordinary period, and Pan Yuan does not dare to drink more.

The proprietress smiled and reminded: "Captain Pan, the price of bacon can increase now." ”

"How much has the price increased?"

The proprietress stretched out three fingers and said with a smile: "Three taels." ”

"Three or two, a while ago it was still a ...... or two"

"There's no way around it!" The proprietress said innocently: "Now that the city is closed, the most lacking thing is meat, I am a small shop, and I can't lose money to do business!"

Even so, Pan Yuan still felt that it was too expensive, you must know that the military salary of the Red Soldier of Lu Dao was less than two taels of silver a month, although he was the captain, it was only two taels and five a month, which was not enough to eat a plate of bacon!

He was about to speak, but Lin Haotian waved his hand, stopped him, and said with a smile: "Three taels is three taels, it's just a small amount of money, why should Brother Pan care." As he spoke, he said to the proprietress "Hurry up and order, we're all hungry." ”

"It's still this little brother who is refreshing. While speaking, the proprietress didn't forget to glance at Pan Yuan, and said with a low smile: "Much more generous than your big brother Pan." With that, she twisted the water snake's waist and walked away.

It can be seen that Pan Yuan should be a frequent visitor here, at least he is very familiar with the relationship with the proprietress .

Lin Haotian asked casually, "Does Brother Pan often come here for dinner?"

"I used to come often, but now I can't, the price of vegetables has risen several times compared to before, how can poor soldiers like us who only live on military pay come every day!" Pan Yuan shook his head again and again.

His words immediately resonated with the nearby Red Soldiers, and everyone answered: "Yes, now the price of everything in the county town is rising, and our military salary will not rise." ”

"Don't mention any military salary, when the Jin army comes, it's not certain whether we can get out of the city alive, I'm afraid that there will be no place ......to spend the money when the time comes."

Through the complaints of the red soldiers, Lin Haotian and others could also feel that the fighting spirit of ordinary low-level soldiers was not high, Pan Yuan was like this, and others were also like this.

Lin Haotian rolled his eyes and said: "It can't be said that our troops are not less than the Jin army, not to mention that the city defense of the county is also very strong, as long as our food and grass are enough, it will definitely be no problem to resist the Jin army." ”

Pan Yuan patted Lin Haotian on the shoulder, and said half-sarcastically and half-jokingly: "General Deng likes you the most like this kind of high-spirited stunned youth!"

Lin Haotian pretended to be puzzled and asked rhetorically: "Isn't it? Isn't there enough grain and grass in the county town? I see that there is a lot of grain in the granary!"

"What's the use of more? Can grain and grass go to war instead of us?" Pan Yuan shook his head and said: "When everyone is gone, no matter how much grain and grass is left, it will also be prepared for the Jin people." ”

Anyway, Pan Yuan had no hope for the upcoming Battle of Pufeng.

Lin Haotian still wanted to speak, at this time. The proprietress has brought food and drinks.

A pot of two taels of rice wine, four plates of side dishes, namely bacon, sauced potatoes, stewed Chinese cabbage and celery fried celery, in addition to bacon, the other three dishes can't even see a meat nail, especially the last plate. I didn't see anything else but celery.

"Little brother eat more, the dishes in our store are not very good-looking, but the taste is still good. The proprietress said to Lin Haotian with a smile, and when she spoke, she leaned on him intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing this, the red soldiers who were eating around immediately expressed their dissatisfaction, and someone shouted loudly: "The boss lady is too unkind, why can't you be so enthusiastic about our brothers, won't it be to look at others?"

The proprietress straightened her waist without changing her face. He turned his head to look at the crowd and said, "If you also order these dishes and are willing to spend this money, I will be just as enthusiastic." ”

In a word, everyone was speechless.

They are all ordinary soldiers, it is not easy to come to the restaurant for a meal, where are they willing to spend a few taels of silver?

"Little brother eat slowly, call me if you need anything. The proprietress explained again. Only then did he leave.

Everyone else hoped that she could stay a little longer, but Lin Haotian wished she had gone away early.

Wait for the proprietress to leave. He glanced at Shao Lin. The latter understood, picked up the wine jug, filled everyone with wine, and then beckoned Pan Yuan to raise a glass to drink.

A pot of wine is only two taels, and the six of them divide it. I can't even pour a wine glass.

After only one round of wine, the wine pot was empty, and Shao Lin called the proprietress and asked for six pots of wine in one go.

Pan Yuan was startled and waved his hand again and again. said: "No, no, don't drink too much, if this is known by General Deng, we will all have to be beaten!"

"If we don't say it, Brother Pan doesn't say it, how can General Deng know the truth!" Shao Lin is the head of the intelligence agency of the Jin State, and he is good at socializing with people, and he is also very good at persuading people to drink, so that people can't even find a reason to refuse.

Listening to what he said, Pan Yuan himself also loves wine, so he didn't stop it anymore, and soon, six pots of wine were delivered, and Lin Haotian and others had a pot in their hands, chatting while drinking.

During this period, Lin Haotian said: "I think Brother Pan is too pessimistic, we have a great hope of defeating the Jin army, the county town is so strong, and we have so many people, as long as the food and grass are enough, the Jin army will definitely not be able to defeat us." ”

Looking at Lin Haotian's shaking his head and talking about it, Pan Yuan could only shake his head secretly, who can't talk about paper? But how can Jin Jun be as simple as you imagined?

Seeing that he showed disapproval, Lin Haotian deliberately asked in a low voice: "Brother Pan is so unconfident, is it because there is not enough food in the city?"

"Insufficient?" Pan Yuanle sneered: "Now there is not much in the county town, that is, there is a lot of grain, if we don't have to fight with the Jin people, only more than anyone's grain, then we will definitely win!"

Hearing this, Lin Haotian's heart moved, there was a lot of grain in Pufeng's granary, but it was not so much that Pan Yuan, who was so pessimistic, was so confident! Thinking of this, he pretended to be unconvinced and said: "I don't think this is necessarily, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, I think the grain and grass of the Jin people will not be less!"

"No matter how much we have, there is no more than us!"

"The grain in the granary is ...... at best"

Without waiting for him to finish, Pan Yuan smiled: "That's just a part. Speaking of this, he paused, looked left and right, and saw that the red soldiers eating around him had already walked seventy-seven or eighty-eight, and the remaining few people were far away from his side, so he lowered his voice and said: "There is still a secret warehouse in the county town, and the grain there is not less than the grain in the open warehouse, this is a secret, brother, don't tell it!"

There is also a dark warehouse! These words made Lin Haotian gasp, and Tong Lei, Shao Lin, Zhang Shun, and Wu Tao also frowned at the same time.

Lin Haotian leaned over to Pan Yuan and asked in a soft voice, "Is there such a thing? Where did Brother Pan hear about such an important matter?"

"Hehe!" Pan Yuanthief said with a smile: "Brother, have you forgotten what I am doing? Guarding the city gate! Every day when grain enters and exits, it has to pass through my pass, and no one knows better than me how much grain there is in the city." After speaking, he straightened up, patted Lin Haotian on the shoulder, and said: "So, brother must not worry about the matter of grain and grass, even if we are trapped for a year and a half, as long as the Jin army can't come in, we won't starve to death...... However, I don't think we can stop the Jin army for so long, brother, you haven't fought with the Jin army, but brother, I have fought with them, those people are just red-eyed madmen......"

The next big chase of Pan Yuan Luo is nonsense for Lin Haotian, he doesn't care about the combat power of the Jin Army, how the Red Soldiers evaluate, he cares about the secret warehouse mentioned by Pan Yuan, this information is too important.

While pretending to listen carefully, he nodded in agreement from time to time, and finally waited for Pan Yuan to finish expressing his feelings, Lin Haotian sighed hypocritically: "Yes, listening to Brother Pan, Jin Jun is indeed very powerful!"

"It's not just powerful, it's terrifying, don't tell it to your brother, when you fought with the Jin Army, many brothers on our side even had the heart to die, and they would be relieved if they died early!" Pan Yuan shook his head and sighed.

At this time, Lin Haotian also understood that Pan Yuan was one of the Red Army that had retreated from Zeping County to Haowan County, and this group of Red Army had been frightened by their own side, and it could be said that there was already a shadow in their hearts, and whenever they fought against their own army in the future, they would have a sense of fear from the depths of their hearts, and the number of these Red Army was quite large, and the number of these Red Army troops should be more than 300,000.

This may be the effect of 'once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope'! (To be continued......)
