The feudal lord is on Taobao every day

After sending the leader of the bandit down and let the sergeant patrolling the city under surveillance, Lin Yan took out the map from the bookshelf behind him, recalling the information about the bandits on other hills brought by the leader of the bandit before, facing the map, and started I deduced in my heart that if I really went up the mountain to suppress bandits, how to use troops to reduce casualties as much as possible, without letting any of those bandits escape.

Lin Yan sat calmly on the chair with a calm expression, but the captain and deputy captain under him were in a hurry, sparks almost popped out of their eyes.

It's just that since Lin Yan was called to kill him that day, these capable men looked like they used to be on the surface, but they were somewhat timid towards Lin Yan, and they were able to brag about their relationship with General Lin to their wives and daughters in secret. They are like brothers, but they really want to let them talk to Lin Yan alone, but they all give up. They winked at each other and recommended for a long time. In the end, Zhao Chengping volunteered, stepped forward and clapped his hands and said loudly: "General, why are you still hesitating? Lead me!" Let's wait for the brothers to go up to the mountain to suppress the bandits. Those bandits are all killing people for fun. Didn't the leader of the bandits who came here to surrender just now said that? Those bandits took some people up the mountain a few days ago, and now they don't know How do we torture them? If we delay any longer, I'm afraid that even one person's life will not be saved. The general will bear to watch those innocent people die tragically, and the family will be heartbroken. Will a village be empty with dozens or hundreds of households?"

Zhao Chengping was choking with sobs, his expression was filled with sorrow, and his forehead was even more bruised, as if as soon as Lin Yan gave an order, he would gallop on his horse and draw out the saber at his waist to kill all the bandits.

The principal and deputy of the other teams also had tears in their eyes, and all the men of seven or eight feet looked at Lin Yan eagerly. If there is a person with a passion in his heart and a lack of calm temperament, I am afraid that they will really move him. It's just who Lin Yan is, he may have many shortcomings, but he lacks impulsiveness alone. Even though Zhao Chengping's words moved his heart, his face was still calm and steady, and his tone didn't even change a bit. , still calmly said: "Unexpectedly, Chengping's martial arts is so strong, and he even has a good literary talent. I am really impressed by this general. You are eager to go up the mountain to rescue the people. I will understand that I will be as anxious as you. Suppressing bandits must be suppressed. It’s just that we can’t be so hasty, we have to think about it in the long run.”

Want to think long term?After hearing Lin Yan's words, the principals and deputy teams of more than a dozen teams were in an uproar. They looked at each other in disbelief, and then looked at Zhao Chengping in unison.

Zhao Chengping couldn't care less about arguing about fairness and unfairness with his colleagues now, and said angrily: "The lives of those people who have been taken captive to the mountain are dying, and they may be tortured to death by the bandits at any time. At this time, the general still needs to think long-term, and he is not afraid of long-term thinking." Are the people who were taken captive to the mountain dead? Then what's the use of suppressing the bandits at that time!"

Zhao Chengping was full of grief and indignation. He was dissatisfied with Lin Yan for the first time since he dismounted, and his face was also full of resentment. Zhao Chengping said in a solemn voice: "That's right, with a subordinate like you who cares about the people, why can't you worry about doing something big, but before you suppress the bandits, you tell the general, what is the terrain of the mountain? Are there any beasts in the mountain? How many bandits are there? How many are martial arts practitioners? Is martial arts high? How many weapons are there? Have you ever arranged tunnels or back routes?"

Hearing what he said, Zhao Chengping, who was impassioned before and wished he could fly on his horse to save the people, turned pale, and finally his face was as white as paper. After a long while, he said: "Isn't the leader of the bandit who came to recruit the surrender brought Did you get any information about those bandits? Not only the situation in the mountains, but also the number of people and those with martial arts skills have come out one by one. With this information, can we just kill them up the mountain?"

Kill directly up the mountain?Lin Yan's expression changed for the first time since Zhao Chengping called him back to the government office in the morning. He sneered and said with a bit of sarcasm in his tone: "What if the information provided by the bandit leader is false? What should you do?"

Fake?Zhao Chengping has never thought about this question since he heard what the man said, so Lin Yan couldn't help asking, and he was stunned for a while before he said: "The leader of the bandit is also a famous hero, isn't the leader of the bandit?" Did you say it? He was framed and forced to go up the mountain to become a bandit. This time he came down to surrender to allow His Highness to investigate thoroughly and return him to innocence. If he had ghosts in his heart, how dare he throw himself into the trap? Don’t be afraid to wait until we return from suppressing the bandits. Did they kill hundreds of people from top to bottom?"

"Come back?" Lin Yan made him laugh angrily: "If what he said is really a trap, how can you and I come back? Besides, you can't look like a person, how can you be sure that he didn't surrender to the bandits? Or Is it because of the power of the fish? He said that there were only more than 100 bandits in that gang, but if there were actually three to four hundred? I waited rashly to go to suppress the bandits, what do you think will happen?"

what will happen?Zhao Chengping followed Lin Yan's words and thought about it for a while, then he shuddered, what else could he do?They patrol the city with a total of less than two hundred people, and most of them are people with poor martial arts skills. If they really encounter a group of bandits with more than 300 people who are all fat and strong, it is really possible that none of them will survive. down.

Thinking of the possible scenarios, not only Zhao Chengping, but also the captains and deputy captains of the other teams all had ugly faces. One of the deputy captains surnamed Yu was still a little unwilling, and argued: "How did the general know that what the bandit leader said was false?" Words instead of the truth? If it were the truth, wouldn’t we have missed such a great opportunity? Let those people lose their lives in vain.”

Is it because he has been living comfortably for a long time, and he has never seen such a pure heart and heart? Lin Yan didn't know whether to scold him or scold him. So what’s true? So what’s false? As a soldier, His Royal Highness Shun puts high hopes on us, how can we entrust our lives on others? Even if it’s a fluke, what he said is true this time, what about the next time? Next time What? Is it possible that we all gamble in this way?"

Zhao Chengping and the other team's principal and deputy team were making him speechless. The anger on his face disappeared, and gradually he felt ashamed. Lin Yancai's tone slowed down, and he said earnestly: "I'm just a patrol guard. In the past, the duty of patrolling the city guards was nothing more than patrolling the city and outside the city, catching troublemakers and unruly and petty criminals. Even if we have all kinds of skills and ambitions, it is just a waste of time. Now His Highness trusts us How could we disappoint His Highness when we entrusted us with the important task of suppressing the bandits? Furthermore, even if we want to suppress the bandits, we must first sharpen our weapons. The knives used by the sergeants in the general guard are still the old knives from before , although it is polished diligently, it is no longer as bright and sharp as before. If we really want to suppress bandits, we must use a good knife."

Lin Yan's words made more than a dozen team leaders and deputy team members lose their heads, and the shame grew stronger on their faces, as if the subordinates were dull and depended entirely on the general.

Seeing that they were finally persuaded, Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief, and comforted them with a gentle tone, asking them to practice martial arts diligently these days, and only then did everyone retreat.

There were no outsiders in the hall, Lin Yan immediately stopped tense, and rubbed the space between his brows rather worriedly.

Although he was very calm on the surface just now, in his heart he wished he could go up the mountain to kill the bandits and save the people, but his rationality told him that it was impossible, if he went rashly to suppress the bandits, he would suffer heavy losses , there is absolutely no second result.

After all, his patrolling guards sound like a lot of people, more than 100 people, and they are all martial arts since elementary school, but seriously, they don't have much combat power. Confused, it's okay to deal with unarmed and unarmed common people, but a pair of bandits with countless blood on their hands, I'm afraid they can't last a round, and they will be hacked to death in a few hits.

It's just that the bandits still need to be suppressed, but before that, they have to be tempered, and then ask His Royal Highness Shun Wang to borrow a few people who escorted him back to Mozhou last time, and cooperated with him to kill many bandits. Su Wei, those Su guards have all seen blood, they don't need to make moves, they are just different from these veteran soldiers.

Thinking of King Shun, Lin Yan's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the battles of those aristocratic families this morning, he knew that the palace would not be free today, and he wondered if the banquet had ended after such a long day.

It is still necessary to report to His Highness such a big matter as suppressing the bandits. With His Highness's ingenuity, how can His Highness solve such a headache problem in just a few words?

Lin Yan didn't realize at this moment that he already had a blind sense of trust in His Highness.

……

When Lin Yan rode his horse back to Prince Shun's Mansion, it happened that the banquet was over. As soon as he entered the Palace, he bumped into the children of the aristocratic family in twos and threes, either sad or happy, gathered together and walked out.

The children of the other aristocratic families saw that Lin Yan was just a guard of the palace, and most of them didn't take it seriously except that they were surprised at his appearance that made people afraid to get close to him.

Until Yao Bin came out with Fang Yuan, seeing Lin Yan walking past expressionlessly, he gasped, the other aristocratic children couldn't figure it out, so they were quite curious and asked Yao Bin again and again what happened?Seeing the ghost-seeing expression on his face, could it be that he really bumped into a ghost, or is the identity of the young man full of evil spirits just now different?

No matter how urged by the children of the family around him, Yao Bin just didn't say a word, until Lin Yan's figure was far away, he said with a mysterious face: "Do you know who that young man is? "

Who can know?It's just a young man, and in this barren Mozhou, who else could he be except the guard or follower of His Royal Highness King Shun?It's not always possible to be a prince.

All the aristocratic families shook their heads one after another, seeing Yao Bin pretending to be mysterious, they couldn't help laughing and laughing, and felt that Yao Bin was just trying to get their attention.

All the aristocratic families were about to shake their heads and walk away when they heard Yao Bin say: "The status of that young man is very important. Although I don't know which family he belongs to, I have seen him at the prince's side at the wedding banquet on the day my daughter got married. .”
