First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 281
...

The next day, Gao Chong was exercising in the morning, and his personal guard came to report: Liu San asked to see him.

Gao Chong was overjoyed when he heard the words, immediately changed into his robes, and went straight to the front hall, where he saw Liu San and Lin Zhisong at a glance.

Lin Zhisong seemed a little uneasy, and kept looking around, seeing Gao Chong leading a group of personal guards, he couldn't help being a little dazed, Liu San hurriedly pulled Lin Zhisong to bow down, "I have seen Gao Changshi".

"How? General Lin is sober?" Gao Chong laughed loudly, and sat down at the first place.

Lin Zhisong looked at the young Gao Chong with some astonishment, turned to look at Liu San, his eyes seemed to be questioning: Is this little boy the coach of Tang Jun?
Liu San hurriedly said with a smile: "Reporting to Gao Changshi, General Lin is willing to serve Datang", and tugged on Lin Zhisong's sleeve again while speaking.

Lin Zhisong finally came to his senses, and under the amazed eyes of everyone, he prostrated himself on the ground, "The sinner, Lin Zhisong, has no intention of offending the Heavenly Soldiers, but sincerely surrenders, and is willing to pay for his crimes, and please ask the elder, Shi Enzhun." .

The corner of Gao Chong's mouth twitched, Lin Zhisong was quite a bachelor, seeing being captured, he simply surrendered directly, for him it made no difference whether he was loyal to Xiao Liang or Li Tang.

Last night, Gao Chong also sent someone to inquire. This Lin Zhisong was born in a local noble family, he can read and write, and he can also play with a long spear. With the resources of a middleman, relying on his family background and the support of his brother-in-law Yang Junmao, he was able to become the general of Yidu. .

Unexpectedly, although this Lin Zhisong is both gentle and martial, he has no strength of character. Once he sobers up, he will surrender directly after being persuaded by Liu Sanyi.

Thinking of this, Gao Chong looked at Liu San with some playfulness in his eyes. It was obvious that Liu San knew Lin Zhisong's character well, and he was definitely not a loyal and unyielding hero, so he came to ask to persuade Lin Zhisong to surrender.

And once Lin Zhisong returns, he will try his best to help the Tang army break Zhijiang City. The key to breaking Zhijiang City lies in Lin Zhisong, not Liu San. It is logical that Lin Zhisong surrendered.

I have to say that it is really reasonable to do business without treachery. Liu San used Lin Zhisong's cowardly and fearful character weakness to win this credit for himself, and when the time comes to fraudulently open Zhijiang City, Liu San does not need to take risks. It is really smart people.

Seeing that Gao Chong's eyes were inexplicable, Liu San lowered his head and smiled, and said bluntly: "After persuading me earnestly, General Lin expressed his willingness to fraudulently open the gate of Zhijiang City, and I asked Gao Changshi to make a decision."

The earnest persuasion... Lin Zhisong stared at the words, he is not a fool, and immediately said: "Gao Changshi, Zhijiang guard Yang Junmao is my brother-in-law, and I have a deep relationship with me. If the army calls for the door, Yang Junmao will definitely open the door."

Gao Chong laughed and said, "You said you have a deep relationship, why are you trying to deceive him now?"

Lin Zhisong blushed when he heard the words, and said bluntly: "I only hope that after the city is broken, Gao Changshi will spare my brother-in-law's life."

"That's right, that's right, General Yang is also a hero, and he can try to persuade him to surrender at that time," Liu San said hastily, fearing that he would not have a sense of presence.

Lin Zhisong was not stupid, and immediately glared at Liu San, begging directly: "Gao Changshi, I can try it when the time comes."

Although Lin Zhisong is mediocre, he is not a fool if he can be a city guard. How could he not know that Liu San is using him as a step up.

However, a mere lowly businessman still wants to use this book to seek wealth in the future, Lin Zhisong cursed inwardly, how could this general be robbed of the limelight by you lowly businessman.

Gao Chong saw it all, and couldn't help being a little amused, and immediately said: "It's not too late, let's leave now."

Lin Zhisong responded naturally.

Gao Chong immediately ordered that Wei Ling led 3000 people to stay in Yidu, 3000 people stationed on the riverside to guard the warships, and Jiang Baoyi led the remaining [-] people to sneak along the river bank to the Zhijiang River, waiting for an opportunity.

Hearing this order, Jiang Baoyi frowned and remained silent. Sure enough, Gao Chong's next deployment shocked the generals.

"I personally accompanied General Lin to Zhijiang. After the city gate was opened, Baoyi quickly attacked."

"No", Jiang Baoyi immediately objected, "As a coach, how can Chang Shi put himself in danger."

Wei Ling also said hastily: "What if this guy turns his back on you, what should we do?"

Lin Zhisong's face changed drastically when he heard the words, he quickly waved his hands in horror and said: "No, no, I will not dare to sin, and I will never dare to have a different heart."

However, Gao Chong's heart was moved when he heard the words. He admitted that he was a little careless. He surrendered Deng Shiluo and Ran Zhaoze along the way, and then went down the river to break through Yidu.

Wei Ling is straightforward, but the words that come out of his mouth are the most deadly. There are not many defenders in Yidu, only 800 in total. Lin Zhisong can only lead about 200 people to pretend to be a successful or defeated army, come to the gate of the city, and open the gate Meat, if Lin Zhisong turns back at this time and the city gate is closed, the 200 people will definitely go and never return.

Seeing that Gao Chong was silent, Jiang Baoyi stepped forward and said directly: "I'll go, I'll follow this guy closely, if he makes any abnormal movements, within a breath, I'll make him decapitate."

Lin Zhisong was startled and frightened when he heard the words, fell down on the ground, and sadly said: "Gao Chang Shi Mingcha, the crime will be surrendered with sincerity, the sun and the moon can learn from it."

Gao Chong smiled when he heard the words, "Don't be so rude to General Lin, I'm naturally trustworthy, otherwise I wouldn't want to go with you." Then he looked at Jiang Baoyi, "Don't Baoyi be rude to General Lin, let's go immediately Bar".

Jiang Baoyi took the order happily, and then changed into an ordinary Liang Bing costume, gripped the spear tightly, and followed Lin Zhisong closely at a distance of three feet. Lin Zhisong was not carrying a weapon. Once the distance changed, Jiang Baoyi's spear would It can be quickly pierced through.

Along the way, Lin Zhisong felt the hairs on his back standing on end, and looked back from time to time, only to see Jiang Baoyi's cold eyes staring straight at his neck.

"General Jiang, no, you don't have to do that," Lin Zhisong said with a wry smile, "He who knows current affairs is a hero. It's ugly to cry.

Jiang Baoyi looked normal, nodded and said seriously: "Of course I believe in General Lin, otherwise I wouldn't have walked with you."

Lin Zhisong was taken aback, the corners of his mouth twitched, he looked around, gritted his teeth, and finally made up his mind, "Please General Jiang give me an arrow."

"What for?" Jiang Baoyi still looked cold.

"I don't have any wounds on my body. I don't look like a defeated army." Lin Zhisong said solemnly: "To ensure my brother-in-law believes, I have to use this bitter trick. In this way, General Jiang must believe me."

Jiang Baoyi raised his brows, his face was finally a little surprised, he didn't expect this guy to be so courageous, he immediately took out an arrow from the quiver and handed it over.

I saw Lin Zhisong gesticulating with an arrow on his body, gritted his teeth and stabbed hard at his arm, then bared his teeth and wailed, "It hurts me too".

Jiang Baoyi's face turned dark, and he couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he turned his face aside, "It's barely broken, and there is no blood."

The sky-shattering howl stopped, Lin Zhisong was a little embarrassed, and could only smile bitterly: "Just make sense, anyway, you can't see it clearly in the city."
