The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 15

With the shift of focus, Lin Yifan began to make full preparations for the encirclement and suppression of bandits, and most of the young and strong were recruited for training.A team of 800 people was assembled in Hengshan County, coupled with the recent news from the cottages, Chen Dengke has successfully persuaded more than a dozen cottages to join the alliance and assembled a team of 1000 people.In this way, Lin Yifan now has nearly 2000 soldiers. However, such a large-scale conscription has completely delayed various livelihood matters.If nearly 800 people were to rely entirely on the food obtained from Bailong Mountain last time, they would only be able to survive for more than a month.Fortunately, for the time being, the young and strong in each village are supported by each village itself, and Lin Yifan only needs to be responsible for the food and grass for [-] people.

The scouts led by Luo Feng also brought news from the depths of Hengshan Mountain.They have inquired into the stronghold of the five bandits and found out their details.The strength of these five bandit dens is not too strong, the largest has only more than 500 minions, and the smallest has only more than 200 people.Moreover, they also discovered that these bandits have been in frequent contact recently, and they seem to be plotting something.This made Lin Yifan very anxious. After suffering for more than half a month, he hurriedly led a team of 500 people to Hengshan, leaving the remaining 300 people to Xue Cheng to assist Liu Yue in managing Hengshan County.

After a day and night of trekking, the team finally joined the Shanzhai army and merged into a team of 500 people to head towards Bailong Mountain.Chen Dengke led all the village owners to meet Lin Yifan, and after getting his promise, they went back happily to lead the team.

Soon, the team arrived at Bailong Mountain, and Luo Yi led the garrison team to meet them.Seeing Luo Yi, Lin Yifan immediately relaxed. To be honest, he was exhausted from leading the army these days. At this time, Luo Yi, who was once the deputy general, was there, and he immediately handed over the army to him. .Just when Lin Yifan was about to enter the room to rest, he saw a small head in the distance looking towards him non-stop. He took a closer look, hey, it turned out to be the little girl Luo Qinger.He quickly looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he sneaked up to her and said with a smile: "Aha, Miss Qing'er, why are you here?"

Luo Qing'er was taken aback, and looked at Lin Yifan cautiously, "The daughter of the people has met the adults, and the little girl was placed here with my father."

Seeing that she was a little afraid of him, Lin Yifan couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, and said with a wry smile: "Miss Qing'er, we are old acquaintances, so there is no need to be so afraid of me, right? Just call me by name."

"This can't be done, my father said, adults are adults, there is a difference between superiors and inferiors." Luo Qing'er said aggrievedly.

"What does a grown-up belong to a grown-up? Your father is stubborn, don't listen to him, I just like you calling me Brother Lin, come on, call me one!" Lin Yifan complained dissatisfiedly to Luo Yi, turned around and smiled with a salivating face.

"You are not allowed to speak ill of my father. Hmph!" Luo Qing'er couldn't hear others speak ill of Luo Yi, and immediately became upset.

"Okay, I won't say anything, I apologize." Lin Yifan quickly admitted his mistake, but said pitifully: "I am so pitiful, everyone is polite to me now, or they are afraid of me. No one talks all day, so lonely, so lonely."

"Ah? How come, isn't this very good?" Luo Qing'er asked strangely.

"Oh, it's so cold in the heights. You won't understand." With a long sigh, he turned around, revealing a lonely snow-like back, and said lonely, "I didn't expect that even you are like this now. I'm even one There are no close friends."

"This, but." Luo Qing'er's eyes were red, obviously touched by Lin Yifan's sadness, she gritted her teeth for the last time, and called softly, "Brother Lin."

"What? What did you just say?" Lin Yifan pretended not to hear, but his heart was full of enthusiasm.

Joy blossomed.

"I, I call you Brother Lin, Brother Lin." Luo Qing'er finally mustered up the courage and called out loudly.

"Great, thank you, Qing'er, thank you for treating me as a friend." Lin Yifan grabbed her hand excitedly and said excitedly.

Luo Qing'er felt bad when he grabbed her hands, her face turned pink, she flung Lin Yifan's claws away, and ran back to her room as if flying.

Lin Yifan slowly recalled the taste just now, "It's really smooth and tender."

At the dinner in the evening, all the village masters gathered together.While eating and drinking, everyone discussed the matter of suppressing thieves.Lin Yifan took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Everyone can respond to my call and join forces to eradicate bandits. On behalf of the imperial court and the people of Hengshan, I thank you all. I will do it first as a respect!" Drink a full glass.

When everyone saw this, they applauded one after another, and each of them hurriedly picked up the wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Lin Yifan looked at the crowd with a smile, and continued, "I'll declare this time, but if there are any captured, I will take half from Hengshan County, and you will distribute the rest yourself. What do you think?"

Everyone looked at each other, and then replied: "It should be so, I will be sincerely convinced."

"Okay, but my ugly words are up front, and you are not allowed to hide stolen goods privately, but if you find out, cut it off! What do you think?"

"This?" Everyone's heart trembled, but after thinking about it carefully, if someone keeps a share, it means that they have lost a share.As for keeping it privately, "We will definitely restrain our children, never keep stolen goods privately, and if we find out, we will never show favoritism."

"Haha, it's my honor for you to be considerate. Then let's discuss about the reorganization of the team. I believe everyone knows the process of our attack on Bailong Mountain last time. It depends on the mixed formation of the team. Only those who favor favoritism can win the battle. I hope that the various departments will reorganize tomorrow, and then re-divide the teams led by everyone. What do you think?" Lin Yifan said casually after taking a sip of wine.

Everyone was silent, except for the original nine cottages, the rest of the cottage owners were unwilling to give up leading the team of their own cottages alone, one of them forced a smile and said: "My lord, it doesn't really matter if you mix or not. Our The sons and daughters are all heroes who don't want to die, they know us well, and they command smoothly. If we force a mixed formation, I'm afraid everyone will not be willing. If the team is not united, it will be a state of disunity. I hope you think twice."

"Well, you are right. Unity is the most important thing." Lin Yifan nodded and said to the man with a smile, "But, if I don't mix up, when I fight against the bandits, I will order your troops to fight against the bandits." Are you willing to fight against thieves? Even if you are willing, how can you explain to the people in the cottage if you suffer heavy losses after the battle?"

The man couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words. After thinking about it, he felt that what the adults said made sense, but I was speechless.Can't help but sit back in shame.

Lin Yifan stood up, and said to everyone earnestly: "Everyone, I am not mixing up to annex you, but to make your losses less. As long as this bandit suppression is successful, I will dismiss most of the team. After all, we are now This kind of situation cannot maintain so many teams. Only through mixed formation can we conduct command and fight without distraction. At that time, all of us will be one, close comrades-in-arms, and partners who share life and death. Then, Everyone, do you think such a mix is ​​feasible?"

"Your Excellency is far-sighted, I can't wait, and only your Excellency will follow." Everyone quickly stood up and expressed their views.

The next day, under the auspices of Luo Yi, the team began to reorganize, and everyone was disrupted and reassigned to various teams.The 500 people were divided into three divisions, each with five centurions.Lin Yifan did his part to become the commander-in-chief of the entire army, Luo Yi and Li Huzi each led one commander, and the other was handed over to a new cottage owner named Sun San.This person has a higher prestige and is the strongest in each village, and the other village owners are the hundred chiefs of the hundred-man team.After the reorganization of the team is completed, the next step is continuous running-in training, so that the officers and soldiers of each team are familiar with each other.

Two days passed quickly, and the news that Lin Yifan had been looking forward to so much was finally delivered.This time it was Luo Feng who came here in person, and he brought the latest news. The five bandits had reached a consensus and were preparing to gather to attack Bailong Mountain in the next few days, and their total strength reached [-] people.

Lin Yifan hurriedly held a pre-war meeting to discuss the battle plan.Everyone offered advice one after another, and some people thought that we had more troops than the thieves, and we could crush them all the way.Some people think that it is entirely possible to use the previous experience to lure the enemy into ambush and surprise attack.Some people think that they stick to Bailong Mountain, start an offensive and defensive battle with the enemy, and wait for the enemy to weaken before sending troops to sweep.Everyone's brains were wide open, and there were endless discussions.Lin Yifan silently listened to everyone's opinions, and ordered Chen Dengke to record some suggestions from time to time.After everyone really couldn't think of any good ideas, Lin Yifan stood up and said, "Everyone is right, and your attitude is positive and enthusiastic. I have also listened to your suggestions, and some ideas are very good, but they are not suitable for the current situation. For example, One said to crush them directly, hehe, to say something that people don’t like to hear, our strength is not necessarily higher than those bandits. If we really rush over, the defeat is very likely to be ourselves. Another person said that we should use us to annihilate The method of the Bailong Mountain bandit, hehe, I think the bandit is not a fool, they already know our plan, how could they still fall into the trap? There is another one who said that he will fight the bandit here, that is a bit taken for granted Listen, if the bandits don't fight us decisively, but instead run to harass your stronghold, when the time comes when the attack and defense change positions, how can we talk about annihilation? There are other things, I won't give more examples."

"This, what should we do then? How should we fight?" Someone asked.

Lin Yifan did not answer directly, but looked at Luo Yi and said with a smile, "Commander Luo, what do you think?"

Luo Yi stood up, pointed at the sand table on the table with a calm face, and looked at everyone, "My lord, everyone, through the investigation of the scouts, we have already learned about the distribution of the five bandits. The stronghold of bandits in Shanzhai is also the weakest of the five bandits, with only more than 200 bandits. I think we can divide the team into three, two of which are hidden, and one of which surrounds Tong Shanzhai. After the bandits in Tongshanzhai sent a messenger for help, they quickly attacked the bandits with the force of Thunder, and no one should be let go. Then some people were sent out to pretend to be bandits, so that Tongshan had not yet been broken, and then the other mountains The thieves must send troops to rescue the siege. The two bandit strongholds here are the closest to Tongshan, and they will definitely send people to support them. At that time, our three teams will work together to eliminate these two bandit soldiers. Then the two mountain bandits There are not many troops in the bandit stronghold. We divide the team into two and quickly eat the two strongholds. Then join forces and face the remaining two bandits. In this way, it is impossible for the bandits to unite. There is no way to fight us to the death with that little force. What do you think?"

"I have a question." The newly promoted commander, Sun San, stood up restrainedly, and said cautiously: "Commander Luo's plan can be said to be perfect, but if we can't quickly capture Tongshan, the other two rescue bandits Once we enter Copper Mountain, don't we have to fight the bandits at the foot of Copper Mountain?"

After hearing this, Luo Yi not only didn't feel ashamed, but nodded, and smiled at Sun San: "It's good that you can think of this. I have also considered this. After Luo Feng's investigation, the terrain of Tongshan is relatively flat, with mountains on all sides. The way to enter the mountain. Moreover, these copper mountain thieves don't have much defensive awareness, and the fortress they built is crude, so it is not difficult to win a quick battle."

"Since Commander Luo has already planned it, then I have no problem." Sun San cupped his fists and said, "My lord, this subordinate is willing to be the vanguard to attack the Tongshan bandits."

"Hehe, that's very good." Lin Yifan looked at the smug faces of the crowd with satisfaction, and was very pleased. "In this case, tomorrow we will formally send troops to attack Tongshan. Sun San, you are the vanguard, set off immediately in the afternoon, and surround Tongshan for me. Remember, if a messenger comes out of the stronghold, they will chase after them for a while. , Let them go to inform the news..."

Sun Sansan was overjoyed, and quickly took orders: "Yes, my subordinates will make arrangements now."
