Chapter 064 Planning

Half of Zhou Long's conditions are what Lin Zimo wants, while the other half is what he wants to eliminate. Lin Zimo, who was silent, stood opposite Zhou Long and was not eager to show his eagerness. He knew that his opponent was suspicious and would not tell the treasure place so happily. Lin Zimo's mind thought of Zhou Long's unrighteous wealth in the past 30 years, and he remembered how many innocent people had died. Although his hands were stained with blood and took many people's lives, most of them were dead, and the few left killed naturally contained a little helplessness.

Zhou Long, who was 80% sure in his heart, saw that Lin Zimo did not answer, and knew that there was a play: "Lord Lin, what do you think? If you can agree, then from now on, Zhou Long will serve you to the death.

Lin Zimo, who was not blindly excited, said lightly, "I didn't promise you, so don't say it so happily. It is not impossible for me to help you regain the position of the owner of the fortress and kill the traitor. However, I want to see your sincerity first. After it is done, if you come across the river to dismantle the bridge, I seem to have much to do with you. After all, Erlong Mountain is easy to defend and not easy to attack, and the caves and forests are easy to hide. It's hard to catch you, and if I let the tiger go back to the mountain, I'm not too stupid."

Zhou Long, who heard clearly and understood, realized that he wanted to tell the place of the treasure first. He had to worry that if he told the details of the treasure, he would lose its value and be killed. After all, he really couldn't believe Lin Zimo. Zhou Long, who didn't speak, knew that he only had this last card in his hand. If he was eager to take risks, he was afraid of falling into the trap of the other party.

"Master Zhouzhai is still a turtle in the urn, and if you have any concerns, you can think about it slowly until you figure it out. However, there is not much time. Once the court officially issued an edict to recruit An Sun Liujin and others, they will no longer be mountain thieves, but righteous officers and soldiers. At that time, even if the government wants to help you again, it will be impossible. After all, killing them is a conspiracy. Lin Zimo said half-truthly and half-falsely, "I'm about to say this. As for how to choose, it's up to you. If you have thought about it, someone will inform me. If I hadn't thought about it, I wouldn't have come to see you again and again.

Zhou Long, who was not in a hurry, still calmed down and threw ** words without hurry: "Lord Lin, my batch of hidden treasures converted into silver is at least 500,000 taels. Are you not moved at all?"

Lin Zimo, who had a psychological war with him, showed a calm side and lied: "As you think, I do want to get your group of treasures, but I will never help you first and then get the treasure. After all, it is too risky and not worth risky. Presumably, if this move is done, the court will reward me more or less. Although there is not much money, it is enough to be promoted. As long as I make my official position bigger and bigger, then money will naturally roll in. So, you don't have to play the game of Water Moon with me. In my eyes, you are the meat on the cutting board, and you can be slaughtered by this house at any time.

I believe in Zhou Long. If I want to tell the place of treasure, I will say it sooner or later. If he doesn't say it, Lin Zimo is determined to torture him all the time. I don't believe that he is an iron body. Even if it is really iron bones and flesh, I will melt him. At the same time, Lin Zimo has prepared for the worst, and even if he kills him, he will not get the treasure he wants. He has the right mentality and believes that he is lucky and loses his life. His original plan was to completely eliminate the mountain thieves on Erlong Mountain, and everything else was secondary. As for letting Zhou Long go, he never thought about it.

Zhao Wenxuan, who was a little strange in his heart, followed Lin Zimo out of the room, stood in a quiet corner of the open space, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, aren't you all about getting that mountain thief's treasure? Why does it make me feel like you want it or not? The great changes before and after you really make Wenxuan feel curious.

I didn't intend to hide his Lin Zimo and said honestly, "The more eager I am to realize, the more Zhou Long feels that he has pinched my lifeline. If I show an indifferent attitude, he will re-measure and think about it. My purpose is to make him anxious, but I'm not in a hurry. In that way, the chance of getting this mountain thief's treasure will increase. If Zhou Long really plans to bring flowers to hell, I have to let him go. Although it's a pity to lose this property, my plan to eliminate the mountain thieves can still be successfully completed. The next thing is to deal with Sun Liujin and other remnants.

"Brother, what do you need Wenxuan to do?" Zhao Wenxuan, who felt that there was a battle to fight, seemed a little excited.

Lin Zimo told his plan and smiled, "You first send someone to buy back 200 jars of good knives, ten pigs, twenty cavities of sheep, and a lot of Mongolian medicine. We have to reward the mountain thieves who have returned to the court.

"It's really a wonderful plan. In this way, we not only don't need to lose a soldier, but we can completely eliminate them. Zhao Wenxuan, who understood, gave a thumbs up and praised, "Brother, you are really resourceful."

Lin Zimo, who was not fluttering, solemnly told: "This matter must be done carefully and carefully. Don't expose the news, or you will be a failure."

Zhao Wenxuan, who knew the importance of this matter, dared not treat it as a joke and promised to come down with his fists. Lin Zimo was aware of his brother-in-law's ability to do things, so he could feel relieved and wait for Erlong Mountain to send someone to contact him. After all, the two sides had to agree on a time and place to handle a series of necessary "reward procedures".

"The two thousand households sent by Han Yong should not have done anything!" Lin Zimo asked about them by the way.

Zhao Wenxuan did not mean to slander the two of them, but said objectively: "They each took 5,000 taels of silver from their brothers. At first, they were fine, but they were drunk day and night and went to the brothel. The two also came to my barracks and insisted on pulling me with them. Wenxuan is ashamed of them. As for the affairs in their army, I don't have to think too much about how it will be. Now, I begin to doubt whether their combat effectiveness in commanding the army will be boundless? If Guiping City is really protected by the two of them, I'm afraid it will be dangerous. I don't understand why Han Yong sent two of these goods?

After thinking about it, Lin Zimo thought about it and said, "Maybe what you see is just the appearance. At that time, Han Caiyi was still with me, and he must not have sent two straw bags to lead the army. In my opinion, they should have received a secret letter from Han Yong in advance, telling them to cooperate with me to suppress the mountain thieves of Erlong Mountain. The two may feel that the war is imminent and whether they can come back alive is still a question mark, so they should enjoy it first so that death is not worth it.

"Brother, there is some truth. As long as they are against each other in the two armies, it's fine not to do that. Zhao Wenxuan is taught.

Lin Zimo smiled and said, "I believe it's coming soon. After all, the 160,000 troops sent by the court have already taken action. Presumably they should go to the state governments to suppress the rebels.

Zhao Wenxuan, who seemed a little excited again, felt that the hero had used force and said, "I have been looking forward to this day for a long time."

Lin Zimo, who smiled but did not answer, knew that his adoptive brother would be excited as he heard that there was a war to fight. After asking about the officers and soldiers, he asked about the recruitment of volunteers. He knows that money is something outside his body, and there is still a chance to earn it back. If you lose the city, your head will be lost. Even if you get more yellow and white things, it doesn't make any sense.

Zhao Wenxuan replied in detail: "Before and after, 500 brave men recruited in three batches began military training in an orderly manner. Blades, armor, clothing, etc. have been distributed in an orderly manner, and the only shortcoming is the lack of an important core backbone to lead them. Although we have selected some small leaders from the competition, their ability is limited and it is difficult to compete for the core position. As for daily affairs, we still need a confidant to deal with it for my brother.

Lin Zimo, who learned about this situation, casually answered 'know' and continued to listen to him talk about bravery. After all, his adopted brother is definitely an outstanding talent in military affairs. Without much words, he quietly listened to Zhao Wenxuan's explanation and analysis. Lin Zimo believed that once the provincial government issued an official document to lead 3,000 officers and troops out of the city to eliminate the rebels, it would only be possible to hand over the defense of Guiping City to the volunteers.

For such an important thing, I always have to find two confidants to take care of these 500 people, otherwise things will be messed up. After thinking about it, he was determined to transfer Wang Pengfei and Chu Erlang here. After all, they have experience in this field. As for the defense of Pingnan City, Lin Zimo had to hand over to Sun Fuji of the county magistrate and Lin Ping, the county magistrate. The reason why he made this decision was that in addition to the 160,000 Ming army launched an offensive to suppress thieves, it was the 3,000 officers in his hand that could fight against the rebels in the field.

said goodbye to Lin Zimo of Zhao Wenxuan, and took Gao Xiang and others directly back to the government office. When he made up his mind, he walked into his government office and sat down and wrote an official document. Before that, he and Zhao Wenxuan had discussed relevant matters. Chu Erlang was directly promoted from the additional committee of Jiupin to the foreign secretary of Zhengbapin, and Wang Pengfei's position as the catcher was directly removed by Lin Zimo. He didn't care whether the other party wanted to join the army or not, and was promoted to the general manager of Zhengjiupin. The reason why I awarded them official positions is to facilitate them to deal with the government. In fact, Yiyong is a local self-insurance armed force. As long as it obtains the permission of the superior government, it can be led by landlords and gentry without any official rank.
