After hearing Zhu Wu's explanation of why Shi Jin came down the mountain, Lin Chong sighed secretly in his heart, and then asked, "I wonder what the three brothers can come up with?"
Zhu Wu shook his head after hearing this and sighed, "Originally, the three of me wanted to go down the mountain and rob the Huazhou prison, but Huazhou is an important place with a vast city and deep trenches, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Moreover, the prefect of Huazhou knew that Dalang was brave and would definitely send more officers and soldiers to guard him.
Without internal response, it would be impossible to rescue him, so he was in a dilemma. " Lin Chong also felt that it was reasonable after hearing this.
Huazhou City was an urgent place, not comparable to Dingzhou and other places, so the rescue would be even more difficult.
In the original work, Song Jiang led 7,000 troops, hijacked Taiwei Su Yuanjing, and then pretended to be Taiwei Su to trick the prefect of Huazhou out of the city, and then he cooperated with others to rob the prison.
But now he doesn't have 7,000 troops, and he doesn't have Lieutenant Su to kidnap him, so it's not that difficult to rescue Shi Jin safely.
Lin Chong said, "This matter needs to be discussed in the long term.
It is urgent.
Brother Zhu immediately sent people down the mountain to lurk in the city to inquire about the news.
We must inquire about the situation of the government and the situation of Brother Shi Jin in detail, so that we can find a solution based on the actual situation." ” "Brother is right.
I will arrange for someone to go to Huazhou City to inquire about the news."
After Zhu Wu said that, he immediately got up and went out to make arrangements, leaving Chen Da and Yang Chun here to accompany him.
After Zhu Wu left, Lin Chong asked the two of them some basic information about the village, and got an understanding of their strengths.
It was important not only to know their enemies, but also to know themselves.
Generally speaking, the strength of Shaohua Mountain is similar to that of Baodu Mountain.
It also has 500 to 700 people and 100 horses.
It cannot achieve great things and cannot be easily wiped out by the army.
Not long after, Zhu Wu came back after giving instructions, sat down and said, "Everything has been arranged.
They have gone down the mountain now.
If there is any trouble in the city, they will come back to report it as soon as possible."
Lin Chong nodded, Zhu Wu's ability was still good in this regard.
In the evening, Zhu Wu wanted to arrange a banquet for Lin Chong and others.
He was worried about Shi Jin's safety, so he was stopped by Lin Chong.
He just took a bite and celebrated grandly after rescuing Shi Jin.
For two days in a row, none of the people sent by Zhu Wu to the city to inquire about information came back, and Lin Chong and others couldn't come up with any good ideas.
A strong attack is definitely not possible.
They are not strong enough.
The only feasible way is to outwit them, but outsmarting them requires a perfect opportunity, otherwise it will be in vain.
Towards evening, the news finally came back, and the situation about Shi Jin was very simple.
He was still locked up in the Huazhou Prison, and was only waiting to be executed.
But another piece of news made Lin Chong excited.
It turned out that it was the birthday of the governor of Huazhou in three days.
The governor's surname was He, and people called him Governor He.
Prefect He is a person who likes to have fun.
He always likes to celebrate his birthday or major festivals.
He not only entertains his colleagues, but also entertains some prominent people in Huazhou.
To put it bluntly, he just wants to ask for more bribes.
The prefect invited him to a banquet on his birthday.
Who dared to go empty-handed, and who dared to give too light a gift.
Unless he didn't want to stay in Huazhou, otherwise he would have to prepare each one heavier than the next.
After hearing this, Lin Chong burst out laughing and said, "Zhengchou didn't have the opportunity.
I didn't expect it to be sent here.
The strategy to save brother Shi Jin lies in congratulating the prefect on his birthday."
Zhu Wu and others were overjoyed when they heard that Lin Chong said there was a solution, and hurriedly asked the general about his plans.

Lin Chong said this to several people, and everyone praised "this plan is brilliant."
Three days later, Huazhou City.
Today is the prefect's birthday.
Early in the morning, the prefect's mansion was packed with people.
These people came to congratulate the prefect on his birthday.
I saw people in official uniforms, some in gorgeous clothes, and some dressed as scholars.
These people were chatting in the courtyard of the prefect's house, either in pairs or in groups.
Governor He has been the governor of Huazhou for many years.
His residence is the largest in Huazhou City and is very spacious.
Even if there are three to five hundred people in front of you, let alone the people in front of you, you will never feel crowded.
At this time, a gorgeous carriage was driving on the street leading to the prefect's mansion.
In the carriage, a middle-aged man was sitting.
This man's surname was Feng, and his name was Feng Hua.
He was the largest in Huazhou City.
Medicine merchant.
Almost all the pharmacies in Huazhou City belong to him.
He is a real rich man.
At this time, Feng Hua has a smile on his face and a determination in his shrewd eyes.
The driver of the carriage was a big man with a fierce look on his face, and he looked like a ruthless character at first glance.
There was a person following beside the carriage, dressed as an entourage, with a leopard head and eyes, which looked very powerful.
Behind the carriage followed a long team.
At the front of the team followed two people.
They were all dressed in smart attire.
It was obvious at a glance that they were Lian Jiazi.
Needless to say, these two people must be the bodyguards of Financial Master Feng.
The team at the back worked in pairs, all carrying the box, which was tied with a red ribbon.
You could tell at a glance that it was a gift.
When Caizhu Feng and his group passed by, they immediately aroused great interest from passers-by, and everyone started talking about it.
"This Mr.
Feng is really impressive."
"Yes, looking at this group of people, it looks like the prefect is traveling."
"Tell me what's in these boxes.
Isn't it all gold, silver and jewelry?"
"It's hard to say, Mr.
Feng is a truly rich man."
For a while everyone started talking about the contents of the box.
Rich Master Feng and his party arrived at the gate of the prefect's house.
The second steward of the prefect's house was in charge of welcoming guests in front of the gate.
The second housekeeper recognized the carriage of Mr.
Feng at a glance.
Feng Hua was the only one in Huazhou who owned such a gorgeous carriage.
When the second housekeeper saw the long team following the carriage, he felt happy.
This wealthy man Feng really lived up to his reputation and his actions were indeed grand.
The carriage stopped, and Feng Hua got out of the carriage.
With the help of the big man next to him, he jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the gate.

"Hey, it's the official Feng.
The prefect has been waiting for the official for a long time.
Just now he sent someone to ask if the official is here.
No, the official is here."
When the second steward saw Feng Hua coming, He hurried forward to welcome him.
Feng Hua laughed when he saw the second housekeeper speaking so highly of him and said, "I was delayed because of some trivial matters at home.
I'm a little late.
I'm ashamed."
After saying that, he handed the prepared gift list to the second steward, and then said, "Today is the prefect's birthday, so I have prepared a small gift to express my gratitude and not to show respect."
"Your Majesty, you are so kind.
Then I will thank you on behalf of the Grand Administrator."
After saying that, I opened the gift list and took a look.
Looking at the names on it, I couldn't help but take a breath.
It's too expensive.
If this gift is still considered If the gift is too small, then the gifts from those people before will be all garbage.
The second housekeeper collected the gift list and said with a smile on his face, "The official is really generous, please come in quickly."
Feng Hua nodded to the big man following him.
The big man understood and ordered the team behind him to follow him in to put things away.
Feng Hua watched the big man leading the people in and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he led the two bodyguard-looking people into the courtyard.
Because Feng Hua is also considered a celebrity in Huazhou, as soon as he came in, everyone in the yard took the initiative to say hello to him.
Feng Hua responded with a smile on his face.
Those who stayed in the courtyard were all people of lower status.
Those with higher status had already gone into the house to chat with the prefect.
Of course Feng Hua was considered to be of high status, so he walked directly into the house.
Entering the room, the prefect was sitting at the head table chatting with the guests.
When Feng Hua saw the prefect, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Little man Feng Hua, I wish the prefect a long life, good health, and a long journey."
When the prefect saw that it was Feng Hua, he laughed loudly and said, "You are late, I will punish you with two more drinks."
Feng Hua laughed loudly after hearing this and replied, "The wines of adults are all good wines.
I can't even drink them if I want to.
If the adults punish the villain with a few more drinks, the villain will have to thank the adults for the wine."
"You boy!"
The eunuch nodded Feng Hua with his hand.
At this time, a servant came in from outside and handed something to the prefect.
If you look carefully, it was Feng Hua's gift list.
The prefect opened it and glanced at it, then looked at it carefully, then closed it and put it down, and said to Feng Hua with satisfaction, "I'm determined."
Although it was only three short words, Feng Hua could see the satisfaction of the prefect, and said happily in his heart, "This is what a villain should do.
Please give me more praise in the future."
"It's easy to say, easy to say, please take a seat quickly."
The prefect was also polite for a rare time.
This move of the prefect made everyone else here feel guilty, and they were all guessing what kind of gift Feng Hua had given to the prefect to treat him so politely.
Feng Hua found a seat and sat down, and two bodyguards stood behind him.
After a while, the person delivering the things also walked in, whispered a few words to Feng Hua, and then stood behind him.
It was almost noon, and the banquet had begun.
While everyone was changing glasses, they suddenly heard a shout of "fire" from outside.

Immediately afterwards there were bursts of shouts of killing and the sounds of weapons clashing.
"What's going on?"
the prefect asked loudly.
Just when the prefect finished speaking, the three people following Feng Hua quickly took out the sharp blades hidden in their arms and killed the prefect so fast that no one could react.
At this time, the eunuch screamed and the man fell into a pool of blood.
This change was so sudden that by the time the people sitting there realized what was happening, the prefect was already dead.
Seeing this, everyone screamed and ran out, fearing that they would be killed if they ran too slowly.
The three people who killed the prefect were none other than Lin Chong, Wang Yin and Mu Hong.
It turned out that when Lin Chong heard the news that the prefect had passed his birthday, he asked Zhu Wu to look for someone who could get close to the prefect.
After screening, Feng Hua was finally selected.
The next day, Lin Chong came to the door in person and had a secret conversation with Feng Hua.
No one knew exactly what they talked about, but Feng Hua agreed very happily later.
The people carrying things behind him today were all disguised as Shaohuashan gangsters.
The fire just now and the fighting outside were all caused by them.
The three of them killed the prefect, and Lin Chong said to Mu Hong, "You first protect Mr.
Feng out of the city, and then meet up at Shaohua Mountain."
Mu Hong took the order, pulled Feng Hua and ran outside.
Lin Chong and Wang Yin ran out with their swords in hand and joined the dozens of minions who had come with them outside.
When Shi Jin went up the mountain, Lin Chong's four bodyguards gathered together, two cavalry generals and two step generals.
You can guess who they are:
