Chapter 100 Chief Staff
For several days, the south of Pingnan County was quiet, and no trace of a rebel was seen, while there was only sporadic harassment by rebels in the north, and there was no more fierce attack with 100-person teams. Zhao Wenxuan, who was under much less pressure, noticed the signs of withdrawal of the rebels outside the city, so he sent someone to inform Lin Zimo of this news.
Lin Zimo, who sat on the head of the city in the south of Pingnan County and watched the scenery for several days, his daily errands were to drink tea and deal with the official duties in the government. As for ordinary braves, in addition to chatting and bragging, they petition to go to the north to "earn money". Before leaving, he left Chu Erlang and asked him to pay attention to the changes outside the city. Lin Zimo, who took Gao Xiang and Wang Qiang, went directly to the north of the city. After all, he still felt more or less strange in his heart.
This time, the rebels lost too fast, and they didn't have the same spirit as last time. Lin Zimo, who found Zhao Wenxuan, carefully observed the movements of the rebels outside the city and found that it was very abnormal. I gave them a rough estimate, at least more than 2,000 people. Although there is no possibility of winning, there is still a certain situation to maintain and put pressure on them.
Lin Zimo, who did not move his eyes, suddenly asked Zhao Wenxuan standing beside him, "What do you think of the retreat of the rebels?"
Zhao Wenxuan, who probably had a good idea in his heart, said to himself, "In my opinion, I'm afraid the withdrawal of the rebels is fraudulent. In this way, we can't rely on the advantages of the city, and the price of casualties they pay is much higher than ours. If we go on like this for a long time, it is bound not to bring them a good result.
"My opinion is similar to that of my brother." Lin Zimo touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "The rebels want to lure us out of the city and fight with them. In that way, they can rely on the advantage of the number of people to surround us.
Zhao Wenxuan nodded and expressed his agreement with his brother-in-law's opinion. Although they have won the battle, the combat literacy of the righteous braves is only at the basic level of the downwind battle. If the two sides really fight hard, I'm afraid that their side will be very likely to lose. Both brothers restrained the mentality of being greedy and decided to adopt a more stable way of sticking. This situation and the last situation are not a thing at all, so there is no need to take this risk.
Lin Zimo, who already had an idea, turned his body and smiled faintly: "Whether they really retreat or fake evacuation, we just need to send more people to monitor the movement outside the city. Anyway, we adhere to the principle of not fighting. I haven't been home for so many days, and I also want to hold my wife's hot kang.
"Brother, don't worry, I'm enough here." Zhao Wenxuan, who knew that he was joking, was full of confidence.
Lin Zimo patted him on the shoulder and agreed. After all, the office here always can't concentrate. Therefore, he decided to go back to the county government office to deal with it. After learning about the situation in the north of the city, he returned to the south of the city. Lin Zimo was worried that Chu Erlang could not cope with it, so he left Gao Xiang to be responsible for the defense in the south with him. I only took Wang Qiang and returned to the county government.
Lin Zimo, who walked into the county government, was welcomed by his colleagues as a hero. He stopped walking, and after a simple greeting with everyone, he ordered Wang Pengfei to find him. Wang Pengfei is responsible for the safety in the city, so he wants to ask about some basic conditions in Pingnan County.
Lin Zimo, who was busy with government affairs in his office, didn't wait long to see Wang Pengfei trotting in and said, "Master, the basic situation in the city is still stable. In the past few days, a total of five rebel agents have been captured. They have been thrown into prison by me, waiting for the master's departure. Although they all recognized their accomplices, I don't think all the rebel spies in the city may have been caught. I will do my best to catch all the thieves.
Lin Zimo, who listened carefully to his report, praised: "Well done. The public security in Pingnan County will be handed over to you. I don't worry.
Wang Pengfei had long guessed that he was going to fly to the sky and said happily, "Thank you for your praise."
Lin Zimo waved his hand out, hinting that he could go out, so he obediently retreated. Wang Pengfei, who was in a good mood, did not slack off his errands, so he took the errands in the government office and continued to patrol the streets. Lin Zimo's so-called five rebel agents who were not killed and arrested felt that they were not a threat to Pingnan County. He could not only know how to rise and fall, but still wanted to talk about the rule of law, so they were lucky not to go to Huangquan Road with the 187 rebel prisoners.
The door of Lin Zimo's office was suddenly pushed open, and a man in his 30s with thin hair suddenly broke in and said loudly, "Lord Futai, I have an urgent letter for you. He asked you to deal with it quickly without delay.
Looking at him, Lin Zimo was a little unhappy. He stretched out a hand and said coldly, "Bring it."
"My name is Lu Maqiu, the chief staff of Lord Futai. I specially sent you his handwritten official letter." Lu Maqiu, who took out the official letter in his arms, stood proudly and said, "If you want to see it, come down and get it."
Lin Zimo, who was not as powerful as this dog, slowly got up, walked over and took the official letter in his hand. After opening the envelope and reading it carefully, he knew that this was a document for him and Zhao Wenxuan to lead the army to help the war. Lin Zimo felt that his immediate superior was completely making an international joke. If he and Zhao Wenxuan lead the armed forces of Pingnan County out of the city, it is bound to cause the city defense to be empty. If the retreated rebel returns, it will definitely break through the city.
From Pingnan County to Guiping County, anything can happen for such a long distance, and the movement of the rebels is unknown. The letter was just urging them to send troops in order to encircle a rebel army in Guiping County. Except for Zhao Wenxuan's officers and soldiers who have a certain field ability, Lin Zimo's righteous braves do not have combat literacy in this regard at all. He picked up the handwritten letter from the governor of Xunzhou in his hand, and he was not afraid of unexpected events. After all, his boss could not shirk his responsibility or repudiate the debt. If Pingnan County, which left himself and Zhao Wenxuan, is broken by the rebels, the whole city and his family will die.
When Lu Maqiu saw that Lin Zi was silent, he urged arrogantly, "Is it possible that you want to disobey the order of Lord Futai?"
Lin Zimo knew that the official letter in his hand was not fake, but it was indeed less than half that he and Zhao Wenxuan led the army to cooperate with the governor of Xunzhou to encircle and annihilate the rebels all the way. When I asked him for something, I didn't pull it out. Now, he wants to take his own bleeding book to help him make contributions, but I'm afraid he is reluctant to do so in his personal feelings.
Lin Zimo knows that he can't resist, but he must not lightly move this armed force in Pingnan County. After all, without them, Pingnan County is in danger of being defeated at any time. Thinking over and over, he is not so bold and brave to bet on his so-called character. Lin Zimo looked at the chief staff again and found that the more he looked at it, the more annoying he became, so he had a bold idea in his heart. Even if the visitor doesn't hate it, he will still implement his plan.
"What else are you doing?" Lu Maqiu, who didn't look good, urged repeatedly: "The content of the official letter is already clear."
Lin Zimo, who suppressed the nameless fire, pretended to have a smiling face and complimented, "Please sit down and let me tell you in detail. Since Zhao Wenxuan and I are asked to kill thieves in the official letter, we must let him come here to meet you. After all, you are a big red man and a wise star around the lord of Futai. My future and his future will also rely on your good words in front of the Lord of Futai.
"Stop talking nonsense and call him back to me." Lu Maqiu sat on the chair and said with a blank face, "Military affairs are urgent. You, me, and he can't delay. If you miss the big event of Lord Futai and let go of the rebels, be careful of your heads.
Lin Zimo, who kept smiling, laughed and said, "What you said is. I can't afford to delay the urgent matters of Futai. Sit down for a while and take a sip of tea, and I will immediately ask Zhao Wenxuan to come.
The impatient Lu Maqiu waved his hand and asked him to do it quickly. His body leaned back and closed his eyes to refresh himself. He thought that his job was not only beautiful, but also profitable. Lin Zimo put the official letter in his arms, walked out of the door with a smile, gently closed the door, stood still and waited for about three minutes, slowly bent down, pulled out a dagger in his left boot, put his back behind him and quietly walked in.
I walked nearly ten steps behind Lu Maqiu. Lin Zimo, who moved quickly, covered his mouth with his left hand, raised his right hand and stabbed the dagger into the other party's heart. Lu Maqiu, who could not predict such a result at all, suddenly had no chance to shout for help and stopped.
Lin Zimo slowly loosened his right hand and said with a strange smile, "I'm sorry, the chief staff of Lord Futai. It's better to kill you than to kill hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands of people. If you want to blame, you can only blame me for not sending me an official letter, but for taking your life. Don't look at me like that, it makes me embarrassed. Don't worry, if I have time, I will burn you money paper. Just go on the road with peace of mind and reincarnated. Not necessarily, you don't have to be a staff member in your next life.
Lin Zimo turned to the front from behind Lu Maqiu, leaned him in front of him, put away his smiling face, and shouted in a little panic, "Come on, catch the assassin."
