Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 243 Keeping them to deliver a message to Li Zicheng

In one of Lin Yi's camps, two generals went to a deserted place, looked around and one of them said to the other: "Brother Li, do you still recognize me?"

"Brother Wang, I knew it was you a long time ago, so how could I not know each other? We used to be under Chuang Wang's subordinates together."

"Yes, yes, brother Li is doing well now?"

"Of course. You are also blessed if you meet a good person. Although you are a few days late, meeting Mr. Lin is a blessing you cultivated in your previous life."

The person surnamed Li looked privately again, and lowered his voice, "Brother Li, although Mr. Lin is good, King Chuang treats us well, we can't eat inside and outside, little brother is here this time..."

"What did you say?" The general surnamed Li immediately turned his face, and raised his voice, shouting angrily, "Wang Sheng, what are you doing here? Tell me, if you don't tell the truth, I will kill you today!" pulled out.

This Wang Sheng, who had just escaped from the city, shivered in fright, "Brother Li, don't make noise, just listen to me..."

"What else are you talking about? Come on, he is a spy sent by Li Zicheng..." the general surnamed Li called out.

Wang Sheng saw that there was nothing he could do, so he pulled out the knife, "Since your six relatives don't recognize you, and you have to eat inside and outside, I will kill you for King Chuang!"

The general surnamed Li was furious: "You kid is the one who eats inside and outside, and you turn back on your promises, and take your life!"

The two started fighting, and several generals came running over. As a result, the man named Wang was quickly subdued, put down his knife, and was tied up on the ground.

"Let's go, take him to an adult for a strict interrogation, and find out who else is his accomplice?"...

It was just getting dark in Ji Dong's other camp.Two generals also came to the corner one after the other.

"Brother, we used to be fellow villagers, and we were still relatives, remember?"

"Then why don't you remember, brother, you're here too, it just so happens that my elder brother is missing you these days, even if I don't know your current situation, I can't contact you, you are here now, the sky has eyes, and we brothers can worked together."

"Oh, yes, yes, yes," the brother's smile was a bit forced, he glanced around, but no one paid attention to them, and said in a low voice: "Brother, we are all brothers of our own family, if we have something to say, I will say it directly Already."

"Oh, what are you talking about? Tell me quickly if you have anything to say."

"That... I came here this time by order, and I didn't really come to vote..."

"What did you say? Say it again?" The elder brother's face immediately changed. He looked to the side and saw no one around. "We are fellow villagers, and we have some relatives. We have been together for so long. , I still treat you as a brother, but I will warn you about this matter today, you must never say this again, you are trying to kill me, if someone else is replaced, I will kill him long ago!"

"Brother, even if you kill me, you have to wait for me to finish speaking. King Chuang is not bad to us. He must have a conscience. I know that brother is doing well here. He has food, drink and money to spend, but he was sentenced to be a king of Chuang. How can you bear it?"

"Shut up! It's true that Chuang Wang is not bad to me, but I have already sacrificed my life to him, enough to repay him. After I was captured by Master Lin, Master Lin didn't hit or kill. The grace of saving lives, let us serve as soldiers, have food, drink, clothing, and money, and do not discriminate against us at all. Now I have made meritorious service. This is all given by Lord Lin. Such kindness, you let me To betray Master Lin, where is my conscience? And you, once you come here, Master Lin has no doubts, and you will be rewarded with money after eating and drinking. When did King Chuang treat you like this? Now you are undercover. Master Lin, is your conscience called a dog?"

When the brother was said to be blushing and had a thick neck and wanted to say something, the elder brother interrupted him again, "It's better to follow King Chuang, we are thieves after all, what good is being a thief? Since ancient times, we have opposed the court. , How many have a good end? The reason why we rebelled back then was to make a living, and we couldn’t go on anymore because we had no choice but to do so. Now it’s different, so you should think about it for yourself.”

The brother was silent for a moment, and the brother said again: "After all, we are brothers. If you are willing to stay, I will not say anything about today's matter. If it is difficult to accept, you can go to your King Chuang. I can let you go, if Master Lin knows what crimes I have committed, I will admit it, and I will treat it as a brother, but I will never betray Master Lin, you go, I really didn't expect you This is the kind of person!"

The brother came back after walking a few steps, "Brother, I was confused. I decided to stay with you. You are right. I will no longer be a thief, and I will follow Mr. Lin."

"This is a good brother, let's go, ask Mr. Zongqi to show your loyalty, and tell who your accomplices are, which can be regarded as a sin and meritorious deed..." Under the night, the two disappeared...

A few days later, the commanders of the battalions came to report to Lin Yi, "The general is wise. It is indeed a fraud to escape from Nanyang City and surrender. The general's sugar-coated shell is really clever. Now all 1000 people have been wiped out." There are dozens of people who would rather die than surrender, we have already captured him, how to deal with it, please tell the general, the rest are all willing to stay and serve the general."

"Well, that's good," Lin Yi nodded, and glanced at Zhezhe, Xiaoying and the others. Zhezhe and Xiaoying clapped their little hands, and gave Lin Yi two thumbs up.

Lin Yi continued: "Don't chop off the heads of these dozens of people, let them go back and send a letter to Li Zicheng, tell them, let him remember these few words clearly, when they see King Chuang and his generals In other words, now we have nearly a thousand more people in our camp, all thanks to Li Zicheng, and I, Lin Yi, are very grateful, but 1000 people are too few, let Li Zicheng send more soldiers to be undercover agents next time, here we are There is a shortage of manpower!"

Xiaoying, Zhezhe, Zhang Hua and others couldn't help laughing out loud.If these words really stay with Li Zicheng, it will drive them crazy.

Dongsheng, Gan Bao, Jiang Xingyuan and other battalion commanders laughed even more. After taking orders, they returned to the battalion. After explaining a few words to those people according to Linyi's instructions, dozens of them were released.

These people thought that they would die this time, but they didn't expect to get another life. After leaving Ji Yi's camp, they hurried towards Nanyang City like a fish that slipped through the net...

In Nanyang City, Li Zicheng released 1000 troops. Feeling confident, he and his wife Gao Guiying waited for news of the Ming army camp outside.

At the same time, they made full preparations. Now there are only more than 7000 soldiers under Li Zicheng in the city.These more than 7000 people, of course, include the female battalion and child soldiers.

After all the 7000 men and horses were assembled, they were divided into the front army, the middle army and the rear army. The generals Liu Zongmin, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, Li Guo, and Li Laiheng Tian Jianxiu also carried out a specific division of labor, waiting for Lin Yi outside the city. As soon as the camp was in chaos, they began to break through, and they planned to drill into the forest after they got out together.

Otherwise, it will take a long time, and there will be more and more officers and soldiers outside. They have no food and no reinforcements outside, and the isolated city is uncomfortable.

Several days passed, and there was no movement in Lin Yi's camp outside the city.

The generals under his command started to discuss, so there won't be any problems, right?It is supposed to have news, it has been several days, and they should have acted long ago.

Li Zicheng made everyone calm down, saying that there must be no problem with this matter.These undercover agents first had to hide themselves well, gain Ji Dong's trust, and then find their accomplices to instigate rebellion, and then they were looking for an opportunity to make trouble, which all took time.

The 1000 people they selected are all old confidantes of the battalions, and they are all loyal to them, and there will be absolutely no problem.But it is not easy to fool Ji Dong and their subordinates.

In this way, they waited patiently for a few more days, but there was still no movement.Li Zicheng and Gao Guiying also had some arcs in their hearts. They counted, and the 1000 of them left early for more than ten days, and left eight or nine days late. It should be time to take action?
At this moment, someone came to report that the person they sent had returned.

"Are you back?" Li Zicheng and Gao Guiying looked at each other in shock, why did they come back? "Where are the people? How many came back?"

"Going back to Prince Chuang, only a few dozen people came back."

Soon these dozens of people came to Li Zicheng and his wife, knelt down on the ground, and told the story in detail. Only then did Li Cheng and his wife know that their clever plan had been seen through by Lin Yi long ago. The entire army of 1000 people was wiped out, and they all became Ji Dong's generals. The fakes became real, and they were self-defeating. The 1000 confidant generals were released, and now only these dozens of people are left.

Li Zicheng was so angry that he pulled out a sword and pointed at these dozens of people: "Why did you come back? Why didn't you seek refuge with Lin, why didn't he kill you..."

"Prince Chuang, spare your life. He has shown great kindness to us. We said that we would not betray Prince Chuang even if we died. The surname Lin said that we would send you a message. That's why we didn't kill us. Everything we said is true. Please look into it clearly." These people were frightened and kowtowed like garlic.

"Send a message, what message?" Li Zicheng's face was so angry that the veins popped up?

"The person surnamed Lin said, he said...they have added another 1000 people now. These are all thanks to Prince Chuang. He thanked you. However, 1000 people are a bit small. If Prince Chuang sends someone next time As an undercover agent, let you send some more, they are short of manpower!"

"Oh!" After Li Zicheng heard this, he felt dizzy, and he was about to fall when it was dark. Gao Guiying, who was beside him, hurriedly supported him.

"Chuangwang, Chuangwang..." Gao Guiying, Huiying, Huimei, Shuangxi, etc. also came to shout.

It took a long time for Li Zicheng to open his eyes, and after a pause, he pushed Gao Guiying and the others away, and his expression returned to normal: "I'm fine, pass my order to let Jiexuan, Yufeng, Li Guo and others come and assemble ..."
