Pan Yuan shook his head and smiled, and said, "Brother, the county town is now easy to come in and difficult to get out! As long as you enter the gate of the county town, there are only two kinds of people who can get out!"

Lin Haotian blinked his eyes and asked, "Which two?"

"One is a dead man, and the other is a man who is about to become a dead man, that is, a deserter, who is wanted and pursued by all counties and counties. ”

Pan Yuan patted Lin Haotian on the shoulder and said, "Brother, now you should understand that your brother advised you not to enter the city out of good intentions?"

"Alas, Brother Pan, it's all my fault for waiting for less!" Lin Haotian said bitterly: "At the beginning, I only thought about serving the country wholeheartedly, even if I killed myself, I would not hesitate, but in the past few days since I entered the city, I have heard too many rumors about the battlefield, and I have also seen many injured brothers, and I ...... in my heart I really ...... in my heart."

Seeing that he couldn't go on, Pan Yuan nodded in understanding, and continued: "Actually, it's not a shame to admit that you're afraid of the battlefield, don't say a hairy boy like you, even if it's my brother and I, I've experienced so many battles big and small, until now on the battlefield, my legs will still be weak, and my bones will be crispy, it's normal for people!"

Lin Haotian sighed, lowered his head, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Pan, can you think of a way, don't arrange our brothers to guard the city wall, it is best to arrange it in the city, if you can go to guard the granary, it will be even better." With the foreshadowing in front, it has become natural for Lin Haotian to propose to guard the granary.

Pan Yuan looked up and smiled, and said, "Brother, do you think guarding the granary is a good errand? That's a whole day at a station, and sometimes you have to be on duty all night, so it's hard!"

"But it's better than fighting the enemy on the city wall!" Lin Haotian looked at the people around him and said, "It's nothing to be tired and tired, as long as you don't lose your life, you can go home safely." ”

"That's right. Guarding the granary is much safer than guarding the wall. Pan Yuan knocked on his helmet and said with an embarrassed face: "But this matter is not up to me, it depends on General Deng's will, after all, you were accepted by General Deng." ”

"Brother Pan is an old man in the army, so he must be able to speak in front of General Deng?"

"Actually, General Deng doesn't like me very much. However, I have been listening to errands under him for several years, and those brothers who are in the same batch as me have died and wounded, and have been discharged from the army, and now, I can be regarded as one of General Deng's henchmen. So, I'm going to beg to see, but I'm not sure if it will be done. ”

"Oops. Thank you so much Brother Pan. As he spoke, Lin Haotian turned around and glanced at Tong Lei, who hurriedly stepped forward, handed a small cloth bag to Pan Yuan, and said, "Brother Pan, you take this first!"

Pan Yuan took it, opened the cloth bag and took a look, okay. There were gold and silver inside, as well as a few pieces of very delicate jewelry. After watching. Pan Yuan stuffed the cloth bag back into Tong Lei's hand, and he said to Lin Haotian: "What does my brother think of my brother?"

Lin Haotian hurriedly said: "I know that Brother Pan will not accept these, but if you ask someone to do something, you will inevitably have to deal with one or two, these ...... Even if it is transferred to General Deng, Brother Pan can leave a few things. In the future, just invite the brothers to the restaurant a few more times. ”

Hearing what he said, Pan Yuan turned his anger into a laugh, his fingers lightly tapped his helmet, and said with a smile: "Slippery head! Okay, I'll take these." Transferred to General Deng, I think that with General Deng's character, he will definitely not refuse. As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh.

After sending Pan Yuan away, Shao Lin and Tong Lei immediately walked up to Lin Haotian and asked, "My lord, can this person do it?"

Lin Haotian shrugged his shoulders and said, "Whether he can do it or not, now we can only rely on him, we have to try it anyway!"

Alas, Shao Lin and Tong Lei sighed in unison.

There was nothing to say during the day, and when it was evening, Pan Yuanxing came in a hurry, and at the same time brought good news, General Deng had accepted the gold and silver sent by Lin Haotian, and promised to do his best to do this.

This General Deng's name is Deng Chong, and he is only a corps commander, but the place he is in charge of is very important, and he is in charge of guarding the southern city gate. Generally, those who can be responsible for guarding the city gate are the people most trusted by the coach, and this Deng Chong is exactly like this.

Xu Fang, the commander of the Red Army, appreciated Deng Chong's ability, and also valued his determination to serve the country loyally and his youthful momentum, so he let him guard the south gate.

Two days later, at noon on this day, Lin Haotian and others were about to get the meal, one by one holding the dishes and chopsticks, and as soon as they were discharged from the hospital, they saw Pan Yuan striding over with a meteor.

Lin Haotian greeted him with a smile and said, "Brother Pan is here, let's go get food together!"

"What kind of food are you going to get! Come with me!" Pan Yuan said urgently.

Lin Haotian and the others were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and Tong Lei stepped forward and asked, "Brother Pan, is something wrong?"

Seeing that they were all nervous, Pan Yuanle was happy and said, "There is something, but it's a good thing, General Deng wants to see you." As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said softly: "I guess it was done by you entrusted the general two days ago!"

These words are like a shot in the arm for Lin Haotian and the others, and there has been no news for two days, they have no hope, but they didn't expect things to take such a big turn again, Lin Haotian hurriedly asked: "Brother Pan is this true?"

Pan Yuan hurriedly waved his hand and said: "This is just my guess, what is the matter, when you see General Deng, you will know the way, go quickly, General Deng is an impatient child, and he doesn't like to wait for people." ”

"Okay, good, good! Let's go over!" Lin Haotian and the others put down the dishes and chopsticks, followed Pan Yuan, and walked quickly in the direction of the south city gate.

When they arrived, Deng Chong was directing the defense in front of the city gate, and a large number of red soldiers were piling up rolling logs and stones under the city wall, and when the battle began, these things could be carried to the city wall as soon as possible.

Now the Jin army and the Xinchi army are close to Pufeng, especially the Jin army, which has set up camp three miles north of the city, and the battle between the two sides is about to break out.

Once the war starts, the city gate is undoubtedly the key target of the enemy's attack, as the main general guarding the south city gate, Deng Chong is under great pressure, and now he is also seizing the time to deploy the city defense as perfectly as possible.

Under the guidance of Pan Yuan, Lin Haotian and the others walked towards Deng Chong's side. On the other hand, he was also paying close attention to the Red Army's urban defense deployment.

Soon, everyone came to Deng Chong's approach, and Pan Yuanqian saluted and said, "General, the villain has brought Brother Ma and others over." ”

Hearing the words, Deng Chong was unmoved. Still commanding the red soldiers around him to step up the handling, and after he shouted for a while, it came to an end, turned around, wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, and glanced at Lin Haotian and the others at the same time.

Wiping his sweat, he casually handed the sweat towel to Pan Yuan, and then walked to Lin Haotian and the others with his hands behind his back. He asked expressionlessly, "I heard that you want to get an errand over there in the granary?"

"Yes, General Deng!" Lin Haotian and the others replied in unison.

Deng Chong pondered for a while, nodded, and said, "That's right, you are all village soldiers, that is, you have not received formal training, and you have never fought a war. Letting your walls defend against the enemy will not only not help. Instead, it gets in the way. ”

After a pause, he said meaningfully: "I don't care about the affairs over there in the granary, the main will be General Chen Zhongchen, in order to transfer you to the granary, I have looked for General Chen several times, and my mouth is about to be thinned." ”

The implication. For the sake of Lin Haotian and others, he has made great efforts.

Lin Haotian was so clever, how could he not understand the meaning of Deng Chong's words, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "General Deng's kindness, I will not forget it." When the battle of the county town is over, we will also thank General Deng. ”

Other people, Deng Chong may not know Lu Dao, but he knows that the Ma Wu family is very rich, and he is also a well-known local rich man, he squinted his eyes with a smile, and said to Lin Haotian with a special point: "Ma Wu, as long as you can remember the good of the general, it will not be in vain for the general's hard work." ”

"Yes, yes, yes! General Deng, please rest assured, the villain has always been grateful, if my father knew that General Deng took care of the villain so much, he would also be grateful to the general. ”

Lin Haotian is good at grasping the weaknesses of human nature, since Deng Chong is a person who is greedy for money, then he caters to his greedy nature and speaks.

Sure enough, Deng Chong was very happy when he heard this, he raised his head and laughed, he raised his hand and pointed at everyone other than Lin Haotian, and said, "They can all go to the granary to listen to the errand, but you can't go!"

As soon as these words came out, not only Lin Haotian and the others were stunned, but even Pan Yuan, who was also a monk on the side, was confused.

Deng Chong patted Lin Haotian on the shoulder, and continued: "Ma Wu, this time it's your luck, there is a vacancy in the county capital now, and from tomorrow, you will go to the county capital on an errand." As he spoke, he leaned close to Lin Haotian's ear and said, "Being a guard in the county capital is much better than standing guard in a granary." ”

Lin Haotian couldn't believe his ears, Deng Chong actually transferred himself to the county capital, this is just a pie falling from the sky!

The look of surprise on Pan Yuan's face was immediately replaced by ecstasy, he hurriedly walked to Lin Haotian's side, bumped his shoulder hard, and reminded in a low voice: "Stupid, don't you hurry up and thank the general!"

Lin Haotian, who came back to his senses, bowed to the ground and said respectfully: "Thank you for the general's kindness!"

"Ha Lu Ha!" Deng Chong laughed twice, then waved his hand slightly, didn't say anything else, turned around, and began to command the deployment of the surrounding Red Army again.

Seeing this, Pan Yuan hurriedly glanced at Lin Haotian and the others, signaling that they had finished saying Deng Chong's words, and now they could also go.

Leaving the South City Gate, Lin Haotian, Shao Lin, Tonglei and others were all happy on their faces, and they were even more grateful to Pan Yuan.

Pan Yuan was also very happy to be able to help them, he said to Lin Haotian: "Brother, you will be the guard of the county capital in the future, with your cleverness, you will definitely be able to rise step by step, and there will be a day when you will soar, don't forget your brother!"

Lin Haotian smiled and said, "What did Brother Pan say, brother has today, it's all given by Brother Pan!" After a pause, he asked curiously: "By the way, Brother Pan, the county capital is not so easy to enter, how can General Deng have such a great ability to stuff me in?"

Pan Yuan shrugged his shoulders and pouted, and said: "Speaking of which, it is a coincidence, just two days ago, a guard in the county capital died suddenly, some people say that he was killed by his companions, and some people say that he was poisoned, anyway, the guard died in a notoriety, I guess General Deng knew about this matter, so he recommended you by the way, and asked you to fill the vacancy of the guard." Now General Deng is a celebrity in front of Xu Shuai, and the people he recommends, the people in charge below don't dare to refuse casually!"

"I see!" How the guard died, no one could know better than Lin Haotian. He laughed secretly in his heart, as the so-called unintentional insertion of willows and willows into yin, he killed the guard just to find out the situation in the county capital. Unexpectedly, it opened a gap for his entry today.

Serendipity, that's such a mystery!

Farewell to Pan Yuan, back to the mansion, Lin Haotian and the others grinned in unison.

Originally, they had no idea how to destroy the granary in Pufeng City, but they didn't expect that this blink of an eye became clear, and they not only succeeded in entering the interior of the granary. Moreover, Lin Haotian also mixed into the county capital, which is really a double happiness.

Although they succeeded in entering the granary and the county capital, it was only the first step, and there was much more to come.

Lin Haotian did not forget to remind Shao Lin and Tong Lei and others that after they arrived at the granary, they should not act rashly, get along with the people around them as much as possible, and learn more about the situation, and he would first familiarize himself with the environment of the county capital. As for the specific hands-on plan, we will discuss it in a few days.

Shao Lin, Tong Lei and others have no opinions, and they should be.

To cut a long story short, the next day, they went separately to the granary and the county capital to report.

Let's say that Lin Haotian swaggered to the county capital, and when he arrived outside the mansion gate, he reported his name and surname to the guards guarding it. Then he explained his intentions, and the guard told him to wait. Enter the house to report it.

Not long after, a middle-aged general, accompanied by several red soldiers, walked out of the gate of the county capital. The red general was not tall, dark-skinned, and stocky. He glanced at Lin Haotian a few times and asked, "Are you Ma Wu?"

"It's the villain!" Lin Haotian pretended to be respectful and handed over his military badge.

The middle-aged general took it and only glanced at it casually. returned to Lin Haotian, and then circled around him twice, patted his arm, knocked on his shoulder, and felt quite satisfied. said: "It's quite strong, but it looks a little weaker." ”

Lin Haotian said: "General, the villain has strength, and he can lift things weighing more than 100 catties with one hand. ”

The red general was stunned, smiled on his back, and nodded: "Yes, he is worthy of being recommended by General Deng." As he spoke, he turned his head sideways and said, "Gao Peng!"

"The villain is here!" a commander hurriedly stepped forward, intervening to give a salute.

"This fifth brother Ma is in your charge, after all, he is a newcomer, and he was recommended by General Deng, take care of him more. As he spoke, the red general introduced to Lin Haotian again: "It is your commander, if you encounter any problems and troubles in the future, you can find him." ”

"Yes, General!" Lin Haotian looked sincerely frightened, first saluted the red general, and then intervened to the commander named Gao Peng and said, "Master Qianfu!"

It's not bad! This kid is quite clever! Gao Peng patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "In the future, I will be my own brother, so I don't need to be polite! Come with me into the mansion and change your military uniform first!"

Lin Haotian said goodbye to the red general and followed his top boss Gao Peng into the county capital. Gao Peng led Lin Haotian into a side room in the courtyard and said, "There is a vacancy here, you will live here in the future!"

"Thousands of Elders ......"

"Your own people, don't be so polite, just call me Big Brother Gao in the future. Gao Peng interrupted Lin Haotian's words.

The latter replied, and then said: "Brother Gao, the younger brother already has a place to live outside, can he not live in the county capital?"

Gao Peng waved his hand and said: "Isn't the conditions in the county capital much better than outside? Besides, we have to be on call, and it is not convenient to live outside. Gao Peng kindly reminded.

Lin Haotian couldn't force it again and again, so he could only stubbornly say: "Yes! Brother Gao!"

While speaking, a guard came quickly with a set of military uniforms and armor, Gao Peng picked up the armor and looked at it twice, and then said to the guard: "Change the captain's armor here." ”

Gao Peng didn't know that Lin Haotian was pretending to be a village soldier, and thought that he was from the regular Central Army under Deng Chong, and now he was at the captain level, and he couldn't be demoted to an ordinary soldier as soon as he arrived in the county capital, not to mention, his immediate boss had just mentioned that he should take care of this Ma Wuduo.

The guard agreed, and walked away briskly with his uniform and armor, and after a short time, he returned with the captain's armor. Gao Peng raised his head to Lin Haotian and said, "Go back to the room first and change your military uniform and armor, and then come to me to report!"

"Yes!" Lin Haotian took the military uniform and armor, bowed down, and waited for Gao Peng to walk away before he entered the wing room to change clothes.

The guards in the county capital are all on duty, and which people are standing guard and which ones are patrolling today have been worked out at the beginning of the month, and Lin Haotian's first job is to lead patrols in the county capital.

The patrol routes have also been set in advance, and he only needs to carry them out step by step.

There are nine guards under him, three of whom have cultivated the underworld, although they may not even be considered as beginners, but at least they have also cultivated the underworld, and it can also be seen from this that most of the guards in the county capital are elite.

In the process of patrolling, Lin Haotian had a general understanding of the situation in the county capital from his subordinates.

There are now more than 600 guards in the county capital, and the leading general is General Guan Xiangguan, and there are six commanders and more than 60 captains below, Lin Haotian is one of these more than 60 captains.

More than 600 guards are roughly divided into three shifts, 200 people are in one shift, 50 of them have fixed posts, and the other 150 people are responsible for patrolling, each shift needs to be on duty for four hours, and some people may be on duty for a longer time, but it is not fixed, whoever is the turn is who, this is the general situation of the guards on duty in the county capital.

In the past, Lin Haotian had learned some things through the guard who was sucked by him, but now the information he has is more detailed and accurate, after all, his identity is different, he is now the captain of the guard, and he can directly contact the commander.

However, there is one place in the county capital that is not counted among the guards, and that is the guard of the Listening Wind Pavilion in the backyard. (To be continued......)
