Exile at the beginning: Take the system and sister-in-law to farm

"Ah...General Lin...you must not..."

"General Lin... If this matter is reported to Prime Minister Li... I'm afraid that both your and my head... will be in danger..."

"General Lin, think twice before you act!"

"General Lin..."

Several lieutenants and generals were also afraid of having their sky lanterns lit, and they all turned pale with fright.

Lin Baozi said coldly: "Then what do you think...what should I do? Is it possible to hide it and not retaliate?"

He really wanted to hide it.

He was also afraid that he would be lit as a sky lantern.

But the words couldn't come out of his mouth. He had to check the reactions of the lieutenant generals under his command.

It is much better to be able to say it from the mouths of these people than from him.

If anyone dares to report truthfully to Li Ang, he will definitely kill this person as soon as possible.

"General Lin... I have an elder and a younger one... If this is reported to the Prime Minister, our family will definitely be implicated..."

"Yes! General Lin... You can't blame us for this! It can only be said that the Prime Minister is unpopular..."

"General Lin...the army will go into battle tomorrow. If there are a few soldiers missing, Li Ang will definitely not notice it!"

"Yes! Li Ang is full of flowers and intestines, and he can't even count one, two, and three. How do you know how many soldiers and horses are missing from the army?"

Several Zhonglang generals were all afraid of being beheaded in front of the battle, so they unanimously agreed not to report it.

"If that's the case... then we'll hide it! But... if this reaches the Prime Minister's ears, don't blame me for being rude!" Lin Baozi said coldly.

"Okay! Don't worry, General Lin! If anyone dares to spread the news, we don't want you to report it. We will only kill him personally, including his whole family!" Several lieutenant generals all said with their arms crossed.

Qingshui City.

Inside the deputy city lord's mansion.

Deputy City Lord Wang Zhao and several family clan heads in Qingshui City held a secret meeting.

The content of the meeting mainly revolved around whether to fight or surrender.

Wang Zhao advocated surrender.

Feeling that the imperial court was unpopular with the people, letting the army in the city go into battle was undoubtedly causing the people of Dayan to kill each other.

Since the death of Yan Beidu, the people of Great Yan have gone through many battles and have sacrificed millions.

I would like to ask the people of Dayan, how many millions are there?

If we continue to fight each other, it will only make the people of Dayan less and less.

It will only make people's lives more and more miserable.

The gatekeeper general of Qingshui City is Wang Chuan, the nephew of the deputy city lord Wang Zhao.

Wang Chuan was also invited.

After hearing what his uncle said, Wang Chuan fell into hesitation.

Just an hour ago, Cao Min'an made a heavy promise to them. During the war, he would be given a thousand gold coins for every hour of defense.

In other words.

As long as he defends for 10 hours, he can get [-] gold coins.

This is a huge expense, much higher than the salary of a guard.

In the face of huge interests, he would rather stick to the city.

but.

The deputy city lord is also his uncle.

He was able to become a guard only by relying on his uncle's connections through the back door.

Disobedience to uncle now is equivalent to pushing uncle into the hot bed.

He was caught in a dilemma.

"Nephew Chuan, have you listened to my arrangements?" Wang Zhao asked with a stern expression.

Wang Chuan pretended to be worried and said: "If we open the city gate and the enemy enters the city, will we choose to massacre? We still have the strength to defend. Once the enemy enters the city, it will be like a wolf entering the sheepfold and becoming a victim on the chopping board. Fish meat!”

Wang Zhao shook his head and said: "My nephew, you can rest assured! I will get in touch with Young Master Yan outside the city! And... Young Master Yan holds high the banner of righteousness, how can he massacre loyal people and kill innocent people indiscriminately! We will let Yan go After the Third Young Master's army enters the city, just give up fighting and lay down your weapons! Now that we choose to surrender, we may be able to be reused in the future, but resisting desperately now will only lead us to a desperate situation!"

Wang Chuan still felt a little shaken when he thought of the huge gold coin reward.

Although he is young, he is extremely greedy and lustful.

In the final analysis, I am still afraid of poverty.

Cao Anmin was very wealthy and spent a lot of money, no matter the cost, to let him lead the soldiers in the city to cooperate with Li Ang in the battle.

Now that I have promised my uncle, the golden coins will be gone.

But he couldn't resist his uncle's stubbornness and finally chose to agree.

Wang Zhao was overjoyed and said: "If this is the case... then we will raise a fire with Third Young Master Yan as a signal at the ugly hour! At that time, we only need to raise the torch at the city gate, and the soldiers and horses under Third Young Master Yan will rush towards the city gate. Come! Don’t worry, when Third Young Master Yan’s army successfully enters the city, I will ask Third Young Master Yan to grant you a title!”

"This couldn't be better!" Wang Chuan was moved when he heard the petition.

The crowd dispersed.

Wang Zhao ordered his confidants to quietly arrive outside the city through the secret passage of Qingshui City with the written letter in hand.

It's not dark yet.

Wang Zhao's confidants walked through the dark secret passage and arrived outside the city. Then they found the direction and ran quietly towards Yan Yun's army.

Inside the Yanyun military camp.

After the army takes a short rest, they will launch an attack on Qingshui City.

Yan Yun was discussing with Chen Mu in the camp how to attack Qingshui City. A messenger suddenly rushed in and said: "Report... Lord... Military Advisor, a thin man came outside the military camp. The thin man claimed to be the deputy city lord of Qingshui City. Zhao’s confidants! Give all letters to the lord for personal opening!”

"The confidant of Wang Zhao, the deputy city lord of Qingshui City? Just let him in. I want to see what Wang Zhao wants to do!" Chen Mu knew little about Wang Zhao.

Wang Zhao's confidants soon came to Yan Yun's eyes.

"I'm Yan Kuan, a retainer of Lord Wang Zhao! This is a letter written by Lord Wang Zhao. I hope Third Young Master Yan can read it!" The thin man took out the letter from his sleeve and handed it to Yan Yun with both hands.

He didn't know Yan Yun either, but he could tell from Yan Yun's clothes, conversation, majesty, and momentum that the young man in front of him was Yan Yun, the third young master of Yan.

Chen Mu took the letter and opened it casually.

"Third Young Master Yan, I am Wang Zhao, the deputy city lord of Qingshui City! I heard that Third Young Master Yan is holding high the banner of righteousness, defeating the evil traitor Li Rui, and returning the people of our Great Yan Empire to a bright future! Zhao is eagerly looking forward to Third Young Master Yan liberating Qingshui City and allowing the people to Get out of misery! The guard at the east gate of Qingshui City is my nephew Wang Chuan. Wang Chuan and I have agreed to raise fire as a signal when we are in trouble! At that time, the third son can lead an army and enter the city from the east gate! This way, we can definitely win it smoothly Clearwater City!”

Chen Mu read out the contents of the letter one by one.

Yan Yun looked surprised.

Chen Mu stroked his beard and said to the thin man: "Step back! We will inform you after we have completed our discussion!"

"Okay!" Yan Kuan clasped his hands and retreated.

"How true or false does the military advisor think the content of this letter is?" Yan Yun asked.

"Wang Zhao's words are sincere and don't sound like lies! If our army can enter the city unimpeded during the ugly moment, we can actually take Qingshui City without any bloodshed! By then, if Li Ang's army dares to resist, just fight head-on!" Chen Mu said.
