Chapter 532: The Way to the City
Public opinion is like this, Lin Haotian is also willing to be a favor, he sneered in his heart, his face was not revealed, his waist straightened, and he asked in a deep voice: "Where is the knife and axe hand?"
"The villain is here!" The Jin soldiers who escorted the new Red soldiers pulled out their sabers at their waists and saluted Lin Haotian.
Lin Haotian pointed at the new red soldiers, and said coldly: "Such indiscriminate killing of innocent people who have no military discipline should be beheaded, in order to set an example, kill!"
"Obey!" Jin Jun's sword and axe hand doesn't care if you are your own person or not, Lin Haotian gave an order, and all the sword and axe hands raised their swords one after another.
The new Red soldiers were pale with fright, sweat was raining, and many of them were already crying out to Song Hao, the new Red King.
It's a pity that they couldn't expect Song Hao to come in the end.
The sword and axe men of the Jin Army slashed down the raised war knives in unison, and for a while, the click of blades and bones on the field was endless, and nearly a hundred human heads rolled to the ground, and the blood sprayed out stained the ground red, and the headless corpse fell to the ground, still twitching for a while. Even if you are warlike, seeing such a bloody scene, you can't help but be secretly speechless, and you can't come back to your senses for a long time.
Lin Haotian waved his hand to the Jin soldiers below him, signaling them to drag all the corpses back to the camp, and then shouted to the Jin soldiers in the rear: "The officers and men of our army must take this as a warning, and if there are any people who dare to be lawless, kill innocents indiscriminately, and plunder people and money, this commander will severely punish them!"
"Obey!" The bloody example was right in front of them, and the soldiers of the Jin Army did not dare to slack off, and responded in unison.
Lin Haotian nodded with satisfaction, and then said to the people of You Country: "The murderer has been severely punished, and Ben Shuai believes that in the future, there will be no more such incidents, now." Everyone's at ease, right?"
His thunderous and unprotective style has greatly increased the favor of Youren, and many people have a fundamental change of mind about Lin Haotian's view of the capital.
Among the people, several respected old men walked out of the crowd and gave Lin Haotian a deep salute and said, "General Lin is fair and impartial. We are especially impressed. After a pause, another old man said: "However, the siege of the capital by the coalition forces has caused me and other innocent people to suffer from the pond fish, and now, many people's homes have run out of food, and even if they have money, there is nowhere to buy it, can General Lin ......?"
Without waiting for him to finish, Lin Haotian smiled lightly. said: "For this matter, Ben Shuai has discussed with His Royal Highness King Song, and will take out the food of the coalition army and distribute it to the people of You Country, and will never let everyone go hungry, you can rest assured of this!"
Again, it was an unexpected decision.
For the coalition forces, the enemy country of the country. You people are the people of the enemy country, and they have never heard of one side taking out such an important military ration to distribute to the people of the enemy country when the two countries are at war. This is even more incredible than Lin Haotian's strict military discipline.
Several respected old men were dumbfounded, and many of the people of You Country were also dumbfounded, looking at Lin Haotian with big eyes one by one, not knowing whether what he said was true or false.
Lin Haotian knew that the people didn't believe his words, and he said meaningfully: "Ben Shuai and Lie Gong led the army to You Kingdom, just to eradicate Nie Xing, who openly rebelled and claimed to be the emperor. I have never thought of being enemies of the people of You Country, let alone harming the people of You Country, but there are many soldiers in our army, and it is inevitable that there are some black sheep among them. This is why the people have a lot of misunderstandings about our army. Ben Shuai sincerely hopes that everyone can understand the righteousness, do not be the enemy of the coalition army, and act for the tiger, so that this war will end sooner, and everyone will live a stable life one day earlier. ”
His words can be said to be moved with affection and reason, although the people of You did not cater to Lin Haotian on the surface, they were moved by his words in their hearts.
You people are increasingly dissatisfied with Nie Xing after becoming the emperor, and he has no good impression anymore, the reason why he is still protecting him and being the enemy of the coalition army is that there is no other way out, and the second is to protect his homeland, and now Lin Haotian has made it clear that the coalition army has to deal with Nie Xing, and it has nothing to do with the people of You State, so who is willing to risk death to fight with the coalition army.
Several old men were all moved, their bodies trembling and arching their hands to Lin Haotian again and again, and said: "General Lin is kind-hearted, which is really a blessing for the people of my country! As long as the coalition forces no longer harm our people at will, and are willing to ration food to the people, we can also guarantee that we will never be enemies of the coalition forces again and make trouble in secret!"
"It's so good, Ben Shuai will be at ease!" Lin Haotian nodded with a smile to several old men.
Seeing this, Xu Jie on the side did not feel relieved, but slowly frowned. He is in the business of selling intelligence, and although he doesn't know much about Lin Haotian, he has heard about some of his deeds.
From Lin Haotian's beginnings to the present, his means of doing things and his benevolent heart are not sticky at all, if he is really a benevolent person, it is impossible for him to jump from an ordinary Jin sergeant to the throne of the commander of the Jin army. Lin Haotian's kindness now is too much, so much so that people have to wonder if he has ill intentions and ulterior motives. This is what Xu Jie is most worried about.
The dog that bites people doesn't bark, if Lin Haotian really has other plans, he is definitely much more vicious than Ren Tianxing, Xuanyuan Fang and Song Hao.
However, the grievances, anger and panic in the hearts of the people have been successfully resolved by Lin Haotian's words, and the crisis that was about to erupt just now has passed, even if Xu Jie has doubts, he can't say anything at this time.
In order to convince the people of You Guo of his words, Lin Haotian immediately ordered the Jin soldiers to pull out some of the food from the camp and distribute it to the people of You Guo from house to house. As a result, the people who had gathered tens of thousands of people broke up and scattered, each going home to wait for the coalition army to distribute food.
The people came and went faster, this situation made Xu Jie sigh, he didn't stay anymore, and said goodbye to Lin Haotian.
When the people of You Country gradually dispersed, and Lin Haotian was about to return to the camp himself, someone suddenly called him, "General Lin, please stay!"
Lin Haotian was stunned, turned his head and looked at it, and the one he called him knew was Zhang Li, one of Xu Jie's subordinates.
Seeing her, Lin Haotian was happy, and at the same time waved his hand to the guards who stopped Zhang Li, asking them to retreat, and when she came close to him, he asked with a smile: "What is the matter with Miss Zhang's name Ben Shuai?"
Zhang Li didn't speak immediately. Instead, he circled around him twice, making a tsk as he watched. People rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and the current Lin Haotian and Lin Haotian when he disguised himself in Huaiyang are like two people, and even the temperament they show is completely different, which makes Zhang Li surprised.
It was rude for her to look at the commander of the army so presumptuously, and the guards around her all glared angrily. Lin Haotian had already seen her rudeness and dealt with it peacefully.
After Zhang Li looked Lin Haotian up and down, she stood still and asked with a smile: "If I am willing to say the way to let the coalition army enter the city, I don't know how General Lin will thank me?"
When Lin Haotian heard Zhang Li's words, his heart was shocked, he raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Do you have a way to enter Huaiyang?"
Zhang Li put her hands behind her back and nodded with a smile. The old god said on the ground, "Of course!"
Lin Haotian stared at her for a moment, straightened his face, and said quietly: "If you deceive Ben Shuai, you will commit a big crime!"
Zhang Li restrained her smile and said seriously: "I said that there is a way, that is, there is a way, if General Lin doesn't believe it, forget it, I'll go." "Talking. She literally turned to leave.
Lin Haotian, who was standing behind him, turned to Zhang Li with a sliding step, blocking his way. A soft smile also appeared on his face, and he said: "Miss Zhang, don't be angry, the reason why Ben Shuai asks is also for the sake of prudence, this is not a place to speak, let's talk about it when we enter the camp." ”
His strange and strange body style made Zhang Li also stunned, but he quickly reacted. She raised her head aggressively and said, "If you enter the camp, you will enter the camp, you ...... General Lin will lead the way!"
Lin Haotian took Zhang Li into the camp of the coalition army and returned to the Chinese army tent. After taking a seat, he first asked the guards to bring tea, and asked while sipping tea: "Just now, Ben Shuai has seen Mr. Xu Jie." ”
"I know it, and I see it. Zhang Li nodded while tasting Jin Guo's tea.
Ben Shuai also asked Mr. Xu Jie if there was a way to enter the city, but Mr. Xu Jie's reply was very affirmative. Lin Haotian's tone did not mean to question, he was just stating the facts, but it did not mean that he was not curious.
Zhang Li is Xu Jie's subordinate, she knows about the Dao, Xu Jie can't be unaware, so why didn't the latter say anything? Could it be that Xu Jie deliberately concealed it?
Don't look at Zhang Li's arrogance, as if she doesn't care about anything, in fact, she is very clever, and she understands what he means as soon as she listens to Lin Haotian's words.
She shrugged her shoulders and said, "Brother Xu is the person in charge, and I am the one who goes to do things, there are so many channels to do things, Brother Xu may not be able to know everything." ”
Oh, it sounds like Zhang Li has a point. Lin Haotian rolled his eyes, put down the teacup, and asked, "I don't know what reward Miss Zhang wants?" As long as the conditions offered are what Ben Shuai can do, Ben Shuai will definitely agree. ”
"Well...... Zhang Li really didn't think of what she wanted for a while, did she want money? She was not short of money, and she was not very interested in gold and silver.
She pondered for a while and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, can I talk about it later?"
Lin Haotian looked up and smiled, and said: "Of course you can! Ben Shuai will put his words here now, as long as the remuneration proposed by Miss Zhang is acceptable to Ben Shuai, Ben Shuai will never shirk it." ”
"Okay! I believe in General Lin!" As she spoke, Zhang Li stood up, and at the same time took out a parchment roll from her arms and walked towards Lin Haotian.
Seeing this, Shao Lin hurriedly stepped forward and stopped her.
Zhang Li shook the parchment scroll in her hand dissatisfied, and said, "This is the map, don't let this girl pass, can your adults understand it?"
Shao Lin didn't react, his cold face remained unchanged, and his dead fish-like eyes still stared at Zhang Li without blinking.
Lin Haotian smiled, beckoned to the two of them, and said, "Let Miss Zhang come close and talk, it's okay!"
Hearing Lin Haotian's order, Shao Lin stepped aside.
Zhang Li glared at him dissatisfied, then twisted the waist of the water snake and came to Lin Haotian's table, put the sheepskin roll on the table, slowly spread it out, and said at the same time: "This is the map of Huaiyang, and the secret passage to the city is here......"
Lin Haotian listened to her explanation while looking at the map intently.
This is the first time that Zhang Li has been in such close contact with Lin Haotian, close at hand, looking at him carefully, it is easy to find the difference between him and Youren. The environment in You Country is harsh, and most of the people in You are dark and strong, but Lin Haotian is the opposite. Because of the relationship between cultivating the beast and the martial arts, the skin is fair, but it is shiny, tall and thin, and it looks a little thin, which makes Zhang Li feel interesting. His eyelashes were thick and long, and they fanned as his eyes blinked.
Listening to her words, her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally became silent, Lin Haotian raised his head in confusion, met her gaze, and asked, "Why didn't Miss Zhang say it?"
Zhang Li came back to her senses, as if the child who stole candy was caught by an adult, and her jade face was slightly red. She smiled. He asked, "Does General Lin think the fragrance of flowers on my body smells good?"
Lin Haotian raised his eyebrows, and then sighed secretly, what kind of nerve is this! This girl's thinking jumped too fast.
He casually responded, "Yes, it smells good." As he spoke, he returned his gaze to the map, pointed to the place of the secret passage, and said, "This secret passage, Ben Shuai can't understand it very well. As indicated on the map. Its entrance inside the city is inside the palace, and the entrance outside the city is in the moat?" Lin Haotian felt incredulous, and even suspected that Zhang Li was scribbling on the map. and took it against himself.
Seeing that Lin Haotian's attention was not on him at all, Zhang Li rolled her eyes and muttered in her heart: I really don't understand the amorous feelings!
She lowered her head and said in an unhappy tone, "What's so nice about this! This is not a secret passage at all, but a waterway, through which the waste water of the palace flows into the moat. Entering through the exit of the waterway in the moat, you can climb directly to the bottom of the palace, this waterway is clean in the morning and evening, and the space inside is enough for a person to crawl, and I have sneaked in and out of the palace several times through this waterway. ”
Lin Haotian listened. gasped, now, he completely figured out that the waterway that Zhang Li said is a sewer in modern terms, he does not doubt that there will be such an advanced product in this era, after all, there have been sewers as early as the Qin Dynasty in China, which is not unusual, but this sewer can lead directly into the palace from the moat, which is too incredible and too important, it is not difficult to imagine that if a strange soldier of his own side suddenly appears in the palace of You Guo, then not only can Nie Xing be captured, but the capital of You Guo will also be destroyed.
His heart was beating faster, his eyes were rolling, and it took a long time for his mood to calm down. He looked at Zhang Li scrutinically and asked, "Did you really walk through this waterway?"
Zhang Li said smugly: "The palace is important, it's not like me who can enter if a flat-headed ordinary person wants to, but sometimes, in order to get information about the royal family and the court, I have to go into the palace to peek at some files, so this waterway has become a magic weapon for me to enter and exit the palace!"
Her words were half-true, it was true that she entered the palace through the waterway, and as for peeking into the files inside the palace, it was not something she could do, most of the time it was through the palace to buy the news.
Lin Haotian didn't care what she was doing when she entered the palace, as long as she could enter from outside the city, it would be a big deal. He lowered his head again, looked at the waterways marked on the map, and pondered for a long time, and then he muttered, "Such an important passage, is it possible that King You's palace is not defended at all?"
Zhang Li raised her hand, shook her head in front of Lin Haotian's desk and said: "Actually, since the palace was built not long ago, there has been this waterway, hundreds of years have passed, how can anyone still pay attention to it? The people in the palace have long been accustomed to pouring sewage into the waterway, no one will care where the outlet of the waterway is, let alone anyone will go into the dirty and smelly waterway to check what is going on, for the people in the palace, it is a part of the palace, just like the flowers, trees, and stones inside, who will be interested in these?"
Lin Haotian nodded, he could understand Zhang Li's words, habit is indeed a terrible thing. He thought for a moment, then raised his head and called, "Shao Lin!"
"What do you command?" Shao Lin stepped forward and intervened to give a salute.
Lin Haotian said to Zhang Li: "The waterway provided by Miss Zhang is very important to our coalition army, can you take General Shao into the waterway to have a look?"
"Of course you can!" Zhang Li agreed simply, but immediately asked: "It's just, I don't know if General Shao understands water?"
Shao Lin was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why do you need to understand water?"
Zhang Li burst out laughing, rolled her eyes and said: "The exit of the waterway is in the moat, and you have to dive into the moat when you go in, not to mention, since it is called a waterway, a large amount of water may gush in it at any time, if you don't hold your breath, don't you drown in it?"
Shao Lin frowned secretly, he was the same as Lin Haotian, he was a landlubber, he could live on land, and he would become a soft-footed shrimp when he entered the water.
He pondered for a moment, turned his heart sideways, and said, "I don't have to worry about holding my breath, although the girl leads the way." ”
It can be seen that he is being reckless, but Zhang Li doesn't care, he is the one who is not afraid of death, if he is really drowned, it is also his own fault.
Shao Lin was willing to take the risk, but Lin Haotian didn't worry about letting him do it! He opened his mouth and said: "Since Miss Zhang kindly reminded Shao Lin, you should find another brother with good water character and shrewdness to go for you!"
Lin Haotian's words Shao Lin didn't dare to disobey, he arched his hand and said: "The last general will obey the order!" As he spoke, he strode out, and when he arrived at the door of the camp, he turned around and saw Zhang Li standing in place without moving, and asked, "Why hasn't Miss Zhang left?"
Zhang Li sighed helplessly and said: "The place we are going to is the moat, not to go to the market, in broad daylight, swaggering past, shouldn't we be an arrow target?"
"Miss Zhang means ......"
"If you want to go, you have to wait until late at night or at dawn. Zhang Li said impatiently.
Lin Haotian nodded in agreement, and smiled at Shao Lin: "Just do what Miss Zhang wants, and wait until late at night to leave." ”
"Yes, my lord!" Shao Lin glanced at Zhang Li deeply and retreated. Shao Lin didn't have much of a good impression of Zhang Li, and always felt that she was very scheming, not as simple as it seemed on the surface. (To be continued......)
