Fade Chen wondered, and thought: "Why doesn't he let me reveal my real identity? He also said that he is a railway builder! What is he going to do?"

When the soldier heard that Lin Yuan was building the railway, his eyes lit up, and he said, "You know how to build the railway? That's great! Come with me!"

Fade Chen thought to himself: "Follow them? Where are they taking us? Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan, can you tell the truth? You have to make up things and let others do it this time. Let me see what you should do?" While thinking about it, he looked at Lin Yuan nervously, but he didn't expect Lin Yuan to chuckle and ask, "Master Jun, what's so impatient?"

The soldier said impatiently, "Why do you ask so many questions? You'll know when you arrive!"

Fade Chen thought to himself: "You can't go with them, who knows what these soldiers are going to do?" Unexpectedly, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, I will go with Lord Jun, I guessed it too, It must be related to the construction of the railway that the military master asked me to go, I will tell my deputy a few words, let him go back and make preparations, and then go with you."

Lin Yuan then turned his head and took Fade Chen aside naturally. The soldiers were obviously not interested in what Lin Yuan had to say, and they didn't intend to come and listen. Fade Chen said anxiously: "What are you doing? Just tell them that our identities are wrong." Is that over? Why tell them we build railroads?"

Lin Yuan whispered: "How can I tell our identities? They are not Jiang Huayong's subordinates at all, but Long Tengfei's subordinates!"

Fade Chen said disdainfully: "Nonsense, could it be that they have words written on their faces? Whose subordinates are they? How do you know they are Long Tengfei's subordinates?"

Lin Yuan said: "Don't you remember the Hui people we rescued from Madman Ning? They told me: those who wore military uniforms and those who wore military uniforms backwards fought. The army in front of you has a few people wearing their uniforms backwards, didn't you notice?"

Fade Chen said embarrassedly: "I heard you say they are Jiang Huayong's subordinates, so I didn't take them seriously, but how did they win Dashanguan?"

Lin Yuan said: "I don't know either. It must have taken advantage of the unpreparedness of the defenders. It may also be that Jiang Huayong didn't arrange anyone to garrison here. No matter what the reason is, I can't tell our true identities. You go back and get everyone ready to fight, I will find a way to get them to remove the roadblock..."

Fade Chen interrupted him hastily, and said, "You really want to follow them back? Do you know where they are going to take you? What if there is danger?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, there will be no danger. In their eyes, I am a railway builder. How could they make things difficult for me?"

Fade Chen still wanted to talk, when he heard a few soldiers yelling, "Why have you been talking for so long? Is it over?"

Lin Yuan hurriedly turned around and said, "It's over, it's over!" Then he said to Fade Chen: "Go back, wait for my news." After speaking, he ignored Fade Chen, turned around and came to several soldiers, and a soldier asked: " What's your name?"

Lin Yuan said: "My surname is Lin, everyone calls me Master Lin."

The soldier was very polite to Lin Yuan and said, "Master Lin, please come with us, our post chief is here to invite you."

Lin Yuan thought: "Is there an invitation from the sentry chief? It seems that there is a guard stationed here, but the Qing army has no fixed rules for the formation of the training troops, so the number of people in a sentry is different. I should inquire from this soldier. Let’s talk about it.” So Lin Yuan said with admiration: “Chief post? This official must be very big, right? Can his subordinates manage 5000 people?”

As soon as the words came out, all the soldiers laughed, and one soldier said: "5000 people, even 500 people can't be controlled, and we have less than 200 people!"

Lin Yuan smiled secretly: "These soldiers have no sense of secrecy at all, yet they told me their establishment information so easily! Dasan Pass is the main road between Gansu and Shaanxi. Since there are so few guards, I will It should be taken down immediately!" Lin Yuan walked up the mountain road with his soldiers while thinking, there are high mountains on both sides of the mountain road, and there is a small road between the high mountains. Block the path like a lock.

Outside Guancheng, a group of people were building a fence with wood. The soldier said to an officer, "Report to the chief, we have caught a guy who understands railways!" He pointed at Lin Yuan, and the chief turned around, Looking at Lin Yuan happily, he said, "That's great!"

Before Lin Yuan could speak, the whistle chief took Lin Yuan to the edge of Guancheng, pointed to the wall and said, "Look at this wall, more than half of it has collapsed, I can't figure it out. Why don't you fix the wall as well?"

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Dashan Pass had the most wars during the Song and Jin Dynasties. At that time, the dividing line between Song and Jin was at Dashan Pass, so the pass city was strong. However, with the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the main foreign enemies of the Central Plains Dynasty came from the original north. The nomadic people gradually transformed into Japanese pirates on the southeast coast and Jurchen in the northeast, and the strategic position of Dasan Pass declined year by year, and finally it was completely abandoned at the end of the Ming Dynasty, leaving only ruins.”

Lin Yuan smiled and asked, "Chief whistle, what do you want us to do?"

The whistle chief pointed to the wall and said, "Can you help me repair the wall of Guancheng?"

Lin Yuan smiled helplessly: "We are building railways, not city walls. How could we build Guancheng?"

The whistle chief frowned and said angrily, "Aren't they all construction? What's the difference?"

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Building railways and building city walls are two completely different tasks, how can they be confused, but this is a good opportunity to win Dashan Pass. First of all: the pass city of Dashan Pass fell, and they lost one The key point of defense; secondly, their number is very small, only about 50 people, and more than half of them are chopping wood in the mountains and setting up camps. There are only more than [-] people in the camp; finally, they never thought that we would attack them. So this battle has a great chance of success!"

Thinking of these things, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "That's good, but we need to bring some tools. Shall we remove the roadblock and let our car in?"

The whistle chief didn't think much, nodded and replied: "Very well, I'll have someone remove the roadblock."

Lin Yuan said, "Then I'll go back and bring someone here?"

The post chief nodded in agreement, and said to a soldier beside him, "Go with him and see if there is anything that needs help."

The soldier nodded, and walked out of the camp with Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan saw that the soldier was very young, so he asked, "What's your name? How many years have you been a soldier?"

The soldier didn't have any arrogance, and replied with a smile: "My surname is Li, but I don't have a name. Because I am the youngest, everyone calls me Xiao Li."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "I guess you must be under 16 years old."

Li Xiao said with a smile: "It really made you guess, I am 15 years old, don't look at me young, I have been in the army for five years!"

Lin Yuan asked in surprise, "You became a soldier when you were ten years old?"

Li Xiao nodded and said: "Of course, at the beginning, he worked in the military camp, and when he grew up, he was given a gun."

The two of them walked to the side of the roadblock while they were talking. Xiao Li gave some instructions to the guards beside him, and the guards went to move the roadblock.
