Chapter 522: Loneliness Goes Deep

Everyone's heads shook like rattles, and they objected one after another, dissuading Lin Haotian from losing a big deal because of a small thing.

Lin Haotian was a little impatient and asked, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, do you have a better plan?"

Song Hao blinked and said tentatively, "Why don't you ...... Let's go south to Tongcheng and try to open the city?"

After Lin Haotian heard this, his nose almost crooked, in Song Hao's heart, is it a child's play to fight, and he has to give it a try, can he still afford to try it if he only has enough food and grass for ten days?

He was too lazy to talk nonsense, turned back to Kong Qing and said, "General Kong, please leave it to you to send me into Huaiyang, you must be fast, it is best to do it tomorrow!"

This time, without waiting for everyone's objections, Ding Feng and Jin Cheng both stood up and whispered to Lin Haotian: "My lord, we still have time now, and we can think of other countermeasures, why take such a big risk?"

Lin Haotian said with a deep gaze: "In the case of equal strength, if you don't take risks, how can you win quickly?"

"But......" Before the two of them could speak, Zhang Bufan took a step forward and said in a shocking voice: "You don't have to persuade the adults anymore, this time, I will go with the adults, just Huaiyang, and it is not the Longtan Tiger's Den, why can't I go? If something happens, Lao Tzu will directly enter the palace and cut off Nie Lin's head!"

Ding Feng and Jin Cheng couldn't laugh or cry when they looked at Zhang Bufan, who was arrogant and had no one in his eyes.

Without waiting for the two of them to speak, Ling Wuya also stood up and said, "The last general is also willing to go with the adults!"

Two of the several fierce generals of the Jin Kingdom stood up to express their positions, Ding Feng and Jin Cheng glanced at each other, and swallowed back the words that came to their mouths.

The support of both of them. It will definitely make adults more confident, in this case, persuasion is also in vain, in addition, with Zhang Bufan and Ling Wuya's protection, it can indeed make the situation of adults safer. Even if his whereabouts are exposed, with the strength of the two of them, they can't defeat the enemy, but it's still no problem to cover the adult's escape.

Lin Haotian persuaded his generals, and as for Song Hao, his opinion was no longer important.

Next, Lin Haotian asked the camp to be set up as soon as possible, and the inside and outside were densely guarded to prevent the enemy from stealing the camp again. Other than that. He also sent his own spies to his own back roads to inquire about any activities of the You army.

It is impossible for the enemy to appear at the back of his own camp for no reason, if the estimate is good, this should be an ambush arranged by Li Ning in advance, and its purpose is not necessarily to sneak attack his own camp, it is likely to plan to arrange this You army to sneak attack his own logistics, cut off his own supply routes, it is always a hidden danger to have such a You army behind his own side. It has to be solved as soon as possible.

Due to the serious damage to the tents of the New Red Army, Lin Haotian sent orders to all the armies. The military tents that were erected were given priority to the wounded soldiers, and the soldiers who did not have military tents to shelter all slept in the open air.

Fortunately, the land is dry, the weather is hot, and there is little rain, even if the ground collapses. With the sky as the quilt, the impact on the soldiers is not very great. After that, he arranged for personnel to transfer all the seriously wounded of his own side to the rear, and the seriously wounded were all soldiers whose lives were in danger, who were unable to move and could not recover their combat strength in a short time, and now the army was short of food. There is still a series of vicious battles to be fought in the future, and carrying so many seriously wounded soldiers is always a drag. With it, Lin Haotian also planted 'Chen Bo' among the seriously injured and sent him away together.

If 'Chen Bo' didn't leave, Lin Haotian wouldn't be able to take back his clone, so he would go to Huaiyang and go deep into danger when he couldn't use the Underworld, and he didn't have the guts.

Lin Haotian's orders were issued quickly and coherently, and all arrangements were made in one go, and the New Red Army moved up and down, but also behaved vigorously and resolutely.

Late that night, Kong Qing left the New Red Army camp, changed into civilian clothes, and secretly went to Huaiyang with only two close henchmen and a spy of the Jin Army.

In the past, there was no curfew in the capital of Youguo, and even at night, the city gates were wide open. But now that the New Red Army was approaching Huaiyang, the You State had to impose a curfew, and as soon as it was dark, all the gates of the four cities were closed.

Huaiyang's outside the city is not a flat plain, here is the capital after all, the political and economic center of the country, prosperous and lively, there is more than five meters wide open space outside the city wall, outside the open space is nearly three zhang wide moat, and then outside is the private houses that can not be seen at a glance, which are mixed with a forest of shops, restaurants, teahouses and inns, if you carefully count, the fixed residents outside Huaiyang City alone are estimated to be no less than 300,000 or 400,000.

Of course, it is impossible for people who are born noble or have some wealth to live outside the city, which is equivalent to the slums of Huaiyang, and the scale of the building cannot be compared with the city.

Kong Qing did have his connections and connections, and after arriving in the 'slums' of Huaiyang, he first hid his horses, and then went to a teahouse with two henchmen and the Jin Army spies.

Although it is a teahouse, it is just a thatched house on the first floor, covering a large area, and there is its own courtyard at the back.

When they arrived, it was early in the morning, the sky was already bright, and the teahouse had not yet opened, Kong Qing first went around to the back door of the teahouse, and then looked left and right, and found nothing unusual, so he began to knock on the door.

Apparently the owner of the teahouse was still asleep, and he knocked for a long time before there was movement inside, and at the same time there was a hoarse and indignant curse.

With the footsteps of Zhuo La, the back door was opened, and a middle-aged man with a thin body and dark skin came out from inside.

This person was full of scolding, but when he saw clearly that the person who came was Kong Qing, he immediately stopped cursing, his eyes widened, and he blurted out in shock and horror: "General...... General ......"

"Well, let's go into the house and talk about it!" Kong Qing lowered his head, and before the middle-aged man could react, he pulled him into the courtyard, and his two henchmen and Jin Jun spies immediately followed, and at the same time closed the door.

It wasn't until everyone entered the courtyard for a while that the middle-aged man came back to his senses, and said with a solemn and nervous face: "Why did the general suddenly return to the capital?

Kong Qing defected to the New Red Army with Chen Bo, which shocked the court of Youguo, and Nie Lin was even more angry. He personally issued a reward order to buy Chen Bo's head with 10,000 gold and Kong Qing's head with 5,000 gold.

This middle-aged man's name is Xu Jie, he was born as a chivalrous man, and he is also Kong Qing's old subordinate, and he has received Kong Qing's life-saving grace. Later, he was discharged from the army due to injury, and opened a teahouse outside Huaiyang City.

Selling tea is just a pretense, secretly operating the business of reselling intelligence, and most of the information involved is something about the chivalrous world, but it is true that he is well-informed and has a wide range of channels.

"I know. Kong Qing nodded, and then asked, "How is the situation in my family now?"

"All of them have been sealed, if it weren't for the prince's protection, the general and General Chen's family members probably wouldn't have survived...... Alas!"

Xu Jie sighed heavily. He really couldn't understand how the general he had always respected suddenly did something to defect to the enemy country, but it was not easy to ask directly.

Kong Qing knew what he was thinking now, but he didn't have time to explain more to him, and said in a low voice: "Xu Jie, I need your help this time!"

Xu Jie's face was straight, and he arched his hand and said: "The villain's life is given by the general, no matter what the general asks the villain to do." The villain will never give up!"

Kong Qing smiled and said, "Don't worry." It's not a bad thing for me. After a pause, he narrowed his eyes, leaned into Xu Jie's ear, lowered his voice, and said, "I want you to help me send someone into the city!"

"Who?"

"General Lin Haotian!"

Xu Jie's eyes widened, wondering if his ears had misheard. To send the Jin Army coach Lin Haotian to Huaiyang, this is ...... It's just crazy. He felt that not only Kong Qing was crazy, but he even wondered if Lin Haotian, the coach of the Jin Army, was also crazy.

Seeing that he was speechless for a long time, Kong Qing asked with a deep gaze: "What? You don't dare to do it? If so, I'll leave now." Find someone else, but you must not make this matter public, it is a matter of life and death for my country!" As he spoke, Kong Qing turned around and was about to walk out.

Xu Jie's body was shocked, and he hurriedly caught up with Kong Qing, blocking his way, and said: "The general has the grace of knowing the villain, and also the grace of saving his life, the villain's life has long been the general's, doing things for the general, even if he goes up the knife mountain, goes down to the sea of fire, and breaks his bones, the villain has nothing to say......"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the door of the main room behind him open, and a young woman wearing only light clothes walked out, and asked with sleepy eyes: "Why hasn't Brother Di returned to the room yet?

As she spoke, the young woman saw Kong Qing and the others, and felt that her face was very raw, she was stunned, and asked again: "Brother Di, ...... are they?"

Xu Jie squinted his eyes, his eyes drooped, and he saw that Kong Qing was wearing a saber around his waist, and suddenly struck out, pulled out Kong Qing's saber, and then turned around and strode towards the young woman, before the latter could react to what was happening, Xu Jie had already raised his sword and fell, and cut the young woman to the ground with a sword.

This sudden change surprised Kong Qingdu, and his henchmen and the Jin Army spies put their hands on the weapons on their waists at the same time.

After killing the woman, Xu Jie walked back with his sword, wiped the blood stains on the sword with his clothes, and then held the sword with both hands, handed it back to Kong Qing in an orderly manner, and said with scarlet eyes: "General, she is the villain's inner son." The villain is now alone, there is no concern, life and death are no longer to be feared, the general should be able to trust the villain, right?!"

This is Youren, in order to swear an oath, he can not hesitate to poison his closest people to prove his determination.

Kong Qing was also moved, he took the sword, put the sword into the sheath, patted Xu Jie's shoulder, and said quietly: "I really deserve to be my Kong Qing's brother!

"Don't worry, general! The villain will do his best to complete the things entrusted by the general!"

Kong Qing nodded, then turned around and glanced at the Jin Army spies behind him, signaling that he could pass the book back to the camp and inform Lin Haotian.

The Jin Army spy sighed secretly, and muttered in his heart: You people are really strong enough! If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's really unbelievable.

He quickly took out the slip of paper that had been prepared, tied it to the pigeon, and then released the pigeon out of the pigeon.

Soon, Lin Haotian, who was in the camp of the New Red Army outside Huaning City, received information sent back by his own spies, to the effect that the matter has been done, please go quickly.

With the reply from his own spies, Lin Haotian did not delay any longer, changed into civilian clothes, and took Zhang Bufan, Ling Wuya, Shao Lin and more than a dozen demon martial arts elites. Riding a fast horse quietly left the camp, bypassed Huaning, and hurried westward to Huaiyang.

Huaning is the acropolis of Huaiyang, and it is naturally not far from Huaiyang, so Lin Haotian and his party set off in the morning. It was less than noon and arrived outside Huaiyang City.

The Jin Jun spies and Kong Qing's henchmen had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Lin Haotian and the others arriving, they immediately stepped forward and took Lin Haotian and his party to Xu Jie's teahouse.

In the main room in the backyard of the teahouse, Lin Haotian met Kong Qing and Xu Jie.

When he took off the hat on his head, Kong Qing immediately stepped forward to salute, and Xu Jie on the side peeked at it, secretly exclaiming in his heart, it turned out that this young man was Lin Haotian, the commander of the Golden Army.

When Kong Qing introduced him to Lin Haotian. Xu Jie stepped forward, arched his hand, bowed deeply to Lin Haotian, and said, "Villain Xu Jie, I've seen General Lin!"

It stands to reason that when he sees Lin Haotian as him, he wants to bow down, but Xu Huang is a chivalrous man, so he doesn't pay attention to etiquette. Furthermore, for the most people. Jin Guo is not a good thing, how could Xu Jie kneel on Lin Haotian and salute him?

Zhang Bufan, Ling Wuya, Shao Lin and the others all frowned, and two demon martial artists were about to step forward, Lin Haotian raised his hand, stopped the two of them, and then looked Xu Jie up and down a few times. said with a smile: "Whether Ben Shuai can enter Huaiyang smoothly this time depends on you." ”

The Imperial Court of You Guo was also afraid that the spies of the New Red Army would infiltrate the capital, and the personnel entering and leaving the capital were strictly inspected, and Lin Haotian and others could not enter at all without certificates.

The dignified commander of the First Army could be so polite. This surprised Xu Jie.

His face was straight, and his rejection of Lin Haotian was invisibly alleviated, and he said: "General Lin is serious! The general has explained to the villain the purpose of His Highness's entry into the city, whether it is public or private, the villain should help with all his might!"

Lin Haotian nodded with a smile, although he didn't know what this Xu Jie was capable of, but since it was Kong Qing who found help, he would definitely not be far behind.

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and the two demonic warriors who were close to the door immediately put their hands behind their backs and tightly grasped the saber hidden on their waists.

As the door opened, a young woman in her early twenties walked in from outside, she was wearing a pale pink dress on the top and a pale pink gauze skirt underneath, and her makeup was thick and bright, and she looked a little frivolous.

The girl didn't expect that there were so many people in the room at once, and she was obviously stunned for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal, and in front of everyone, she walked up to Xu Jie with a smile and a smile, and said delicately: "The things that Brother Xu asked me to find have been gathered." ”

Xu Jie was about to speak, when he suddenly saw that everyone around Lin Haotian was staring at the girl with murderous eyes, and he introduced: "You don't have to be nervous, this is my subordinate, Zhang Li." ”

Hearing this, the air in the room that seemed to be about to solidify suddenly changed back to a flowable state, and the demon martial artists withdrew their cold gazes one after another, and stood behind Lin Haotian as if nothing happened.

Don't look at the girl's laughter on the surface, in fact, she is secretly relieved, and mutters in her heart: These people are so murderous!

Although she was Xu Jie's henchman, the latter did not explain Lin Haotian's true identity to her. The stakes are very high, and there is no room for the slightest mistake, so naturally the fewer people who know the inside story of the Tao, the better.

Xu Jie stretched out his hand to her and said, "Bring it to me!"

The girl reached into her arms, slowly took out a roll of things, and handed it to Xu Jie.

The latter took it and unfolded it, it turned out to be a stack of papers, he looked through them one by one, counted them carefully, and confirmed that they were correct, then turned around and handed them to Lin Haotian, and said in a low voice: "Big ...... Ah, Childe, this is the road guide, which can prove that you are from Nancun, Rongfeng County, Taihe County, and when you enter the city, if someone checks on you, you can say that you can come to join the army. Of course, the little ...... Oh, I will also cover up on the side to help Gongzi dredge, and the soldiers guarding the city gate will never be difficult for Gongzi. ”

At that time, there was no such advanced product as ID cards, and when they went out, people would carry a road guide with them, which recorded the individual's place of birth, which was regarded as proof of their identity. The road guide is issued by the government, and it is stamped with the official seal and a special official seal, and it is also very difficult to counterfeit. These road guides sent by Zhang Li are all true, as for how she got it, it is unknown, this can be regarded as one of Xu Jie's subordinate skills.

Lin Haotian glanced down at Lu Yin, and then handed it to Shao Lin and asked him to send it to everyone.

Zhang Li is very curious about Lin Haotian's identity, as Xu Jie's subordinate, she knows too much about her boss's character, no matter to anyone, she has always been a true color, but she seems respectful and polite to the young man in front of her, which is too abnormal.

She approached Lin Haotian and asked with a smile: "I don't know the name of Gongzi? Gongzi wants to borrow a road guide to enter the city, isn't it a special person, or a key criminal that the government wants to arrest?" As she spoke, her body slowly leaned towards Lin Haotian.

Lin Haotian slipped under his feet, seemingly casually but just right, let her go, smiled lightly, and said: "In Xia Lin Asan, since his identity is in Xia, it is inconvenient to disclose it to the girl now." ”

Lin Asan?Zhang Li had never heard of this name, and wanted to ask, but Xu Jie next to him had already coughed heavily, and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't ask more if you shouldn't ask, there's nothing for you here, go and get busy with you!"

"Yes! subordinates retire!" Zhang Li seemed to be frivolous and profligate, but she was still in awe of Xu Jie. She glanced at Lin Haotian deeply, and then turned around and walked out.

Waiting for him to leave, Xu Jie said to Lin Haotian: "Zhang Li has always been like this, if there is any rude offense to the general, I hope the general will not be surprised." ”

Lin Haotian waved his hand and said, "Mr. Xu Jie is polite. ”

"The general has come from afar, he must have eaten yet, and the villain will let people prepare wine and food. As he spoke, he was going to go out and explain to his subordinates.

Lin Haotian raised his hand to stop him and said, "Don't bother, Ben Shuai can eat after he wants to enter the city." ”

"Okay!" Since Lin Haotian was in a hurry to enter the city, Xu Jie was not reluctant, and said with a straight face: "Let's leave now!" After a pause, he told everyone again: "Don't forget the name and origin on the road, if you answer incorrectly when the soldiers enter the city, it will be troublesome." ”

There is no need for him to teach these things at all, and none of the people present gave them for nothing, let alone make such a low-level mistake. Kong Qing said: "Everyone will pay attention to these, let's go quickly!"

"What a shame, General!"

Led by Xu Jie, everyone came out of the back door of the teahouse and walked towards the Huaiyang City Gate. (To be continued......)
