Lin Yuan asked directly: "How many soldiers do you have now?"

Yang Changjun turned frustrated when he heard this, and said: "Although there are more than [-] soldiers, they are all green battalion soldiers, and you know their combat effectiveness."

Lin Yuan said: "It doesn't matter, I don't need them to have strong fighting power, as long as they know how to work."

Yang Changjun asked: "Dare to ask Lin Shuai, what are you using them for?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Master Yuan asked me to scout the situation of the railway. I need some transit bases, and manpower is needed to build these bases."

Yang Changjun quickly said: "Okay, okay, although these green battalion soldiers are amateurs in fighting, they can still build a camp."

Lin Yuan said again: "Give me another [-] cavalrymen, and I will go to suppress the bandits."

Yang Changjun asked: "Suppress bandits? Which bandit do you want to suppress? Do you want to use 300 people to destroy those bandits?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Of course not, don't ask so many questions, and quickly transfer someone to me, and send me to my station after the transfer."

Yang Changjun nodded and said, "Then please go to the yamen." Lin Yuan followed Yang Changjun to the yamen where the affairs were handled. Yang Changjun then called the officers and told them to follow Lin Yuan's command. They were either listless or potbellied, and indeed they were not capable of fighting, and when they heard that Lin Yuan was going to command them, they all had expressions of fear.

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "I have to give them a reassurance first, and then they can work for me with peace of mind." So Lin Yuan smiled at them and said, "Don't worry, what I ask you to do will not kill you. Yes, you don't even have to do it yourself, just let your subordinates do it."

The officers were relieved when they heard this, and Lin Yuan said to them, "Follow me, and I will tell you what to do when we get there."

Lin Yuan then led them to the station of Yuan Shikai's troops. Lin Yuan found Yuan Shikai and said to him, "Master Yuan, if you want me to continue to investigate the situation of the railway, you have to meet one of my requirements."

Yuan Shikai had made a poisonous plan to murder Lin Yuan with Liu Wantong, Madman Ning and others, and wanted Lin Yuan to continue to investigate the situation of the railway, so he asked, "What do you want?"

Lin Yuan said: "It's a long way from Xi'an to Lanzhou, and we can't carry too many things in one car, so we need to build a transit base. After the transit base is completed, people need to be stationed. The green battalion here is useless. Your best soldiers go."

Yuan Shikai thought to himself: "What a vicious Lin Yuan, I haven't done anything to you yet? You first send away a large number of my subordinates." But Yuan Shikai still agreed, so Lin Yuan came out and asked the officers to take the lead. Watching the Green Battalion build a transfer base, he returned to the station and found that Yang Changjun had transferred [-] cavalry, so Lin Yuan ordered everyone to rest for a day first, and set off for Laojinshan's station - Yinfeng Mountain the next day.

As soon as this order was announced, Fade Chen and the soldiers were very surprised. Fade Chen said to Lin Yuan: "According to Lao Jinshan, there are more than 500 enemy troops on Yinfeng Mountain, and they are well-equipped, but we only have [-] soldiers." Cavalry, whose combat effectiveness is almost negligible, can they be their opponents?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "I think very clearly that the people on the mountain are part of practicing bravery. These people may not be willing to be bandits, so I am not going to beat them, but to recruit them."

Fade Chen hesitated and asked: "Can this work?" Lin Yuan smiled but did not answer, Fade Chen said with a smile: "In this case, what are we going to do with these three hundred cavalry? Why don't we go by ourselves?"

Lin Yuan laughed and said, "Why did you forget the corpses stuck on the railway? If we don't move them away, how can we get there!"

Fade Chen said: "I see, it turns out that what you asked of Yang Changjun was just a porter!"

Lin Yuan nodded, and then Liu Wantong came and said to Lin Yuan: "Shuai Lin, I heard that you are going to go into the mountains tomorrow to suppress the bandits, but I don't understand, just leave this kind of thing to us, why bother?" Do you do it yourself?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Don't bother you, we will go by ourselves."

Liu Wantong hurriedly said: "That's not okay, I want to protect your safety, how about this, I will personally bring three hundred soldiers to protect your safety tomorrow."

After hearing this, Fade Chen whispered to Lin Yuan: "Yuan Shikai's people are going, shall we give them all the work of porters? Don't take the cavalry."

Lin Yuan shook his head lightly, and said: "They are supposed to protect our safety in name, but in the wilderness, 300 of them confronted 12 of us, wiped us all out, and then blamed the rebels. What to do? So we still have to take Yang Changjun’s [-] cavalry with him!”

Lin Yuan agreed to Liu Wantong, and Liu Wantong thought: "Lin Yuan, Mr. Yuan has already made a plan, this time you are dead!" Then he went back, and Lin Yuan began to prepare for the transportation. There were a lot of people there, so Lin Yuan arranged a special train.

Accompanied by the station master of Xi'an Station, Lin Yuan boarded the train to check, and soon he said worriedly: "We will bring [-] people and [-] horses tomorrow, and this train probably won't fit."

The station master shook his head and said, "It really can't fit. There is no problem with the people. It can be loaded in a few carriages, but the horses are not enough. The horses are so big, and we need [-] more! And we don't have any bigger trains."

Lin Yuan said: "Then we have to reduce the number of men and horses." He calculated in his mind, then turned to his attendants and said, "Go and inform Liu Wantong that his number will be reduced to 150 tomorrow, and I will reduce the number of cavalry to 150." If the number is reduced to [-], it should be able to hold it."

The attendant turned and left, and Lin Yuan said to the station master, "Do we have enough gasoline at Xi'an Station?"

The station master laughed, "What do you want gasoline for?"

Lin Yuan replied, "Burn the corpse."

The station master said: "Let's dig a hole and bury it deep. We still need gasoline to supply train engines. There must be frequent personnel transfers in the future. It won't work if there is less oil."

Lin Yuan said: "Then you will prepare five hundred shovels for me to put on the car, as well as five hundred masks, five hundred pairs of gloves, five hundred cloth coats, and disinfectant, right? Bring me a few big buckets. The station master agreed to come down. While the two were talking, Lin Yuan suddenly saw his attendant come back, followed by Liu Wantong. Lin Yuan asked in surprise, "Liu Yingtong, what are you doing here?"

Liu Wantong said: "Shuai Lin, I heard that you want to evacuate our people. This is absolutely impossible. Those cavalry have no fighting power, and your safety depends on us to protect you! So you must not evacuate our people! "

Lin Yuan wondered in his heart: "Why is he still worried about my safety? It's really strange. There can't be some conspiracy in it?" Seeing Liu Wantong's resolute look, Lin Yuan said, "Well, your people No reduction, I reduced the cavalry to one hundred."

Liu Wantong saluted with a "slap", and said loudly, "I will protect Shuai Lin to the death!" Then he turned and left, Lin Yuan thought to himself, "What the hell is this guy going to do!"

On the second day, a group of people got on the train and set off. Lin Yuan still took the people on the railway chariot. This time, Shen Wanqing and Gao Yu did not follow. Lao Jinshan followed Lin Yuan with a few people and came again. When he got near the pile of corpses, Lin Yuan told everyone to stop, and then ordered: "Clean up the corpses."
