Chapter 44: Set up a small game
After a while, three injured Hu Ben Guards of the Houzhou Zhou were taken to the tent of the Central Army of the Great Camp.
The three of them were caught by arrows hitting the waist and unable to run away quickly. They were still cursing and struggling when they were taken to the camp's central tent. One of the slightly thin prisoners lowered their heads to bite the arm of the Nan Tang soldier behind them. They were hit on their foreheads with a scabbard and suddenly had a bloody wound.
Lin Feng looked at the three people coldly without saying anything. These three people were also tough. Although their bodies were no longer straight, their eyes were staring like copper bells, and they looked at Lin Feng in an instant.
After a while, the little Tiger Guard shook the blood that had dripped into his eyes for the third time, and couldn't help but roar: "You are Lin Feng, you want to kill and cut, so I'll give us three a pleasure."
"Oh, you have a really bad temper. You ran to my Tang Dynasty for no reason. You can't let your own decisions about life and death. If you come, you will detain the three of them and serve them with great punishment." Lin Feng looked angry and waved his hands repeatedly.
The little man jumped and roared, and kept scolding, until a soldier in Nan Tang tied his mouth with a rope and could no longer shout. The little man was pulled and pulled into an empty tent next to him. Three special soldiers from the secret group took turns to sprinkle salt on his wounds and hit him with heavy hands. The little man was so painful that he was shaking violently, but he gritted his teeth and refused to speak.
The two nearby tents could hear continuous screams at the beginning, but then there was no sound.
Later, the little man couldn't help it, and he tilted his head and fainted. He was soon awakened by a basin of cold water. He was dragged back to the central army's tent by two soldiers.
As soon as he entered the tent, the little man shook his little face and looked at everything in front of him in disbelief: his two companions were sitting in front of a table full of food, eating food in big mouthfuls, all of whom were dry civilian outfits, and the wounds on his body were obviously bandaged, and even his face was washed clean.
"You two bastards, you forgot your oath when you were selected as the Hu Ben Guard. You are worthy of it..." The little man jumped up immediately and cursed in a vague manner. He was hit on the back of the head by a soldier who was guarding him, and he was so painful that he couldn't speak.
Lin Feng walked over and pushed the little man out of the military tent. While walking, he leaned over and said to the little man in a low voice: "Your name is Hu Yanfeng, right? Your companions have all told you. You have now a total of 160,000 people and twelve generals have been granted the title of twelve generals; the commander is Li Gu, and the generals are Li Chongjin and Shi Detong..."
Hearing this, Hu Yanfeng became more determined about his two companions, cursed angrily, struggled desperately, and rushed into the military tent to kill the two companions. Naturally, the two guards were controlled to move.
Lin Feng sneered: "To be honest, I really admire your backbone, but unfortunately your companions don't have much backbone. They told them all before they were used up. In this case, you will be of no use to me, but I want you to go back and send a message to your commander and army: There are no other things in Shouzhou, but there are several corpses of thousands of people who have been prepared. If you are not afraid of death, please come over."
After saying that, Lin Feng waved his hand and two soldiers escorted Hu Yanfeng into a tent, tied him up, guarding him from left to right.
Lin Feng turned around and entered the big tent, smiled at the two Hu Benwei who were sitting next to the table, saying, "I have already put Hu Yanfeng back."
The two men, who had a strange look, immediately changed their faces, and their faces were full of fear.
Just now, they were invited into the same tent. The soldiers guarding them said viciously that Tian Yiming was asked to kill them. They took off their clothes that were still dripping with water, changed into clean farmer costumes, and bandaged them briefly, forcing them to wash their faces, and then led them to the table of the Central Army's tent, saying that they were going to have a full meal before they died.
The two of them had already made up for their death, and they were better than a starving ghost before they died. At this moment, the guards casually asked about their names and said that they would write their names into the Shouzhou merit book. At this time, the two of them had nothing to hide, and they reported all the names of the three.
Seeing Hu Yanfeng's appearance and hearing his shouts, the two Hu Ben Guards instantly figured it out.
Everything just now was a plan that Lin Feng had long planned.
Lin Feng was so scared that he wanted to kill them, but in fact he tricked them into obeying the orders, and then forged a scene where they had already surrendered, and then asked Hu Yanfeng to return to convey the news after a misunderstanding. Now they couldn't wash it clearly even if they jumped into the Huaihe River. As for the screams that Hu Yanfeng heard, Lin Feng secretly found two troublemakers in the army. The so-called military intelligence told to Hu Yanfeng was actually completely "large road goods" secretly spying on the Northern Intelligence Department.
Among them, the Hu Ben Guard, named Xin Qiang, spit the food in his mouth on the ground, glared at Lin Feng, jumped up and shouted: "You are so vicious when you frame us." Another Hu Ben named Zhen Fang also jumped up and roared: "Lin Feng, you big liar."
"I'm so poisonous." Lin Feng laughed angry and replied unhappily, "I haven't broken into your borders, and I'm not going to destroy your cities and kill you all. I don't think I'm much more poisonous than you. Hu Yanfeng misunderstood that you are his business. Whatever my business is, I'm lying to you, you won't think I won't kill you in public tomorrow morning."
Xin Qiang and Zhen Fang were stunned for a moment, and their expressions changed drastically. In this way, Lin Feng really didn't lie to them. However, there were too many transformations in the middle that made the two people who were already confused. Just a moment ago, the two of them really hoped that Lin Feng would change their minds and prepare to surrender them.
At this time, Xi Mucheng walked up, leaned over to Lin Feng, and whispered a few words.
Lin Feng sighed and said to Xin Qiang, Zhen Fang, "My chief advised me that maybe you two are of some use, such as changing our Shouzhou back to one or two captured soldiers, but I am really angry. I will give you a choice, either now give all the Zhou army information, and become a Shouzhou soldier from now on, and enjoy the treatment of Shouzhou people free of rent and business shares, and enjoy preferential treatment of soldiers from the Tang Dynasty; or tomorrow morning, cut off your heads and sacrifice flags, and give you a happy word."
Xin Qiang and Zhen Fang looked at each other, their eyes full of despair. At the beginning, they were really ready to sacrifice for the country, but after Lin Feng's repeated twists of life and death, they looked down at the clean clothes they were wearing and looked at the table with various delicacies. They suddenly found that they had other options for living, and suddenly realized their true thoughts deep in their hearts: they didn't want to "died before they succeeded."
After a long time, Xin Qiang and Zhen Fang nodded at the same time and said bitterly: "Let's surrender."
Lin Feng laughed loudly, pointed to the food on the table and said, "Please sit down, two brothers, let's sit down and chat slowly."
Xin Qiang and Zhen Fang took the pastry handed over by Lin Feng, and slowly talked about the 180,000 Zhou army troops they knew, mainly the temperament and attacking hobbies of the generals. This caused them to be what Zhao Kuangyin asked them to memorize, but now it is all cheaper to Lin Feng.
Xi Mucheng, who played a big show with Lin Feng, took the paper and pen and recorded it quickly.
Lin Feng silently remembered it in his heart, and specifically asked about the overall situation of Zhao Kuangyin and the Hu Ben Guard. Xin Qiang, who had been completely let go, did not hide the slightest concealment of the entire Hu Ben Guard, and explained the number, composition, training content of the entire Hu Ben Guard one by one.
That night, Lin Feng's tent did not turn off the light until it was dawn.
At 7 a.m. on September 24, Nan Tang sent two small warships to pull a small boat into the center of the river, and then pushed the boat into the defensive area in the north with a long bamboo pole.
