That night, Lin Chong asked Yan Qing to lead people to the city to buy wine and food, and then the brothers started drinking.
When they came to Jinzhou to rescue people this time, including Lin Chong, a total of nineteen leaders and fifty soldiers came.
Yanqing bought a lot of wine and food, and everyone was enough to take care of them, including the fifty soldiers.
Everyone drank happily that night, and the gloom in their hearts for the past few days was swept away.
Now the brothers in Liangshan all have a feeling that no matter how difficult it is, as soon as Lin Chong comes, everyone seems to feel confident.
This does not mean that Lin Chong has a powerful strategy, but a belief and a spiritual dependence.
The next day, Lin Chong first arranged for Shi Qian and Zhu Wu to go to Laocheng Camp to find out how to find out the defense deployment inside Laocheng Camp and the situation of the officers and soldiers ambushed outside Laocheng Camp.
Saving people is the first and most important step, so we must understand the specific situation of the prison camp and calculate the time well in order to achieve victory with one blow.
After Shi Qian and Zhu Wu left, Lin Chong said to Yan Qing, "Brother Yan Qing, go to Fenshui County immediately and find out the situation there.
In particular, Hong Jin's activity pattern must be fully understood.
This matter will be resolved soon."
We are very important and must be cautious.”
Yan Qing stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely find out everything about the situation."
After saying that, he saluted Lin Chong and then turned around and went out.
"Brother Yang Lin, go to Jinzhou City and quietly write down the locations of the granaries, warehouses, prefect's mansions, and some key buildings in the city, and then come back and tell me.
I will be of great use," Lin Chong said to Yang Lin again.
"Yes, I'll do it now," Yang Lin immediately stood up and replied.
"There must be a lot of informants in the Jinzhou government these days.
Brothers, you should be careful in everything you do.
If something cannot be done, you should put your own safety first."
Although Lin Chong has never been to Jinzhou, he can guess that the city must be full of government spies.
"Brother, don't worry, little brother, don't worry."
After Yang Lin said this, he quickly turned around and left.
After Lin Chong ordered a few people, he sat there and thought again.
This operation was no better than before.
If he was not careful, everyone might be surrounded by a large army.
If that happened, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Brother Dai Zong, you lead a few soldiers to carefully check around Jinzhou to see if there are any other ambushes by the army on the periphery.
By the way, especially the road leading from Jinzhou to Fenzhou.
Be sure to search carefully.”
Lin Chong thought about it for a while but still felt uneasy, so he asked Dai Zong to lead people out to search again.
"Yes, I will take people out to investigate now."
Dai Zong also turned around and left immediately after speaking.
Although the time was not urgent, the sooner he found out, the sooner he could come up with countermeasures.
That night, except for Yang Lin who went to the city to inquire, no one else came back.
However, Lin Chong was not worried, because the situation that others wanted to inquire about could not be figured out in one day, especially Yan Qing and Dai Zong.
It was possible in three or five days, not to mention one day.
"Brother Yang Lin, everything has been taken care of, are you not in any danger?"
Lin Chong asked Yang Lin who was sitting down.
"My younger brother has already figured out everything my brother told me.
The granary is in the northwest corner of Jinzhou City and is usually guarded by one or twenty soldiers.
Several important warehouses are also located not far from the granary, and there are not many people guarding them, maybe twenty or thirty people.
The Taishou's Mansion is in the center of Jinzhou City.
Maybe because he is afraid of our sneak attack, I found that there are many guards in the Taishou's Mansion.
There are two rows of soldiers standing at the door alone.

I think there must be more people patrolling and guarding the courtyard. .
In Jinzhou City, there is a Guanyunge Restaurant.
The five floors above and below are bustling with people coming and going.
It is the most famous place in Jinzhou City.
The younger brother observed carefully in the city again and found that two large military camps were built in the city not far from the two city gates.
Although he could not see clearly what was inside, he thought they were for the Weizhou officers and soldiers.
However, the original thousands of officers and soldiers in Jinzhou have disappeared.
It seems that they were sent to ambush near Laocheng Camp."
Yang Lin explained in detail the information he had found out and his analysis.
After hearing this, Lin Chong thought for a while and then said to the brothers, "Brother Yang Lin's analysis should be correct.
The original thousands of troops from Jinzhou should be ambushing near the prison camp, while the soldiers from Weizhou are guarding the city and serving as reinforcements." " After hearing this, several of his brothers agreed with them.
"My brother asked Brother Yang Lin to find out the location of the granary and the buildings in the city.
Could it be that he wanted to use arson to create chaos in order to involve the army's strength?"
Yun Tianbiao had already thought of this possibility when Lin Chong confessed to Yang Lin.
Now that Yang Lin came back, Yun Tianbiao asked about it.
When Lin Chong heard Yun Tianbiao's question, he laughed and said, "What brother said is true.
Brother Wei just wants to use the fire attack to delay the actions of the officers and soldiers in the city, thereby buying more time for us to escape."
Lin Chong expressed what he was thinking.
"I think my brother's plan is feasible.
Even if the officers and soldiers cannot be completely held back by then, in order to protect the safety of the city, the prefect of Jinzhou will definitely leave some officers and soldiers to guard the city.
In this way, even if the officers and soldiers arrive, our It will be a lot less stressful.”
After listening to what Lin Chong and Yun Tianbiao said, Gongsun Sheng also expressed his opinion.
"That's right, brother, that's exactly what I thought about," Lin Chong nodded and replied to Gongsun Sheng.
The next night, Shi Qian and Zhu Wu came back.
"Brother, younger brother and brother Zhu Wu have figured out the situation in the prison camp."
Shi Qian said happily as soon as he entered the room.
"There's no rush.
You two brothers have worked hard all the way.
Let's sit down by the charcoal fire to grill and then drink some hot water to warm ourselves up.
Then we'll talk about it."
It's the cold winter season now, and it's very cold to drive at night.
When Shi Qian and Zhu Wu sat down, Mu Hong had already poured hot water for them and let them drink to keep warm.
The two heated up the fire for a while and drank the hot water in the cup.
They suddenly felt much warmer.
Putting down the water glass, Shi Qian said, "Brother, about a thousand Jinzhou officers and soldiers have been transferred to the Lao City Camp, and they are scattered in various dangerous places in the Lao City Camp.
There were originally one or two hundred guards in the prison camp, totaling about one thousand two hundred people.
In the woods east of the prison camp, there were about 3,000 officers and soldiers ambushed.
They set up some tents deep in the dense forest and divided the 3,000 people into two groups to take turns to rest and monitor.
In the village to the west of Laocheng Camp, there were also about two thousand officers and soldiers lying in ambush.
They were all hidden in people's homes.
These officers and soldiers were afraid of leaking the news, so they gathered all the people in the village into two big houses.
The two ambushes together totaled 5,000 people, plus the 1,200 people in the prison camp, there were probably more than 6,000 people in total.
And apart from these two places, there are no other ambushes near the prison camp."
Shi Qian explained in detail the situation he and Zhu Wu discovered together:
