The next day, Lin Chong left only Wu Song, Shi Qian, Yan Qing and four bodyguards, and then asked Shi Wengong to lead the other brothers to escort Chen and Zhang back to Jeju.
Lin Chong knew that Tian Hu was now in Weisheng, and he built a palace there and enfeoffed all the ministers, just like a royal court.
This is why the imperial court insisted on exterminating Tian Hu.
Although Lin Chong also invaded the state and plundered territory, he did not rebel so blatantly, while Tian Hu rebelled nakedly and without any cover.
The imperial court has sent a large army to conquer Tian Hu for a year, and the two sides have won and lost.
Now the official army and Tian Hu's army are facing each other in Lingchuan.
No one can do anything about the other, and the battle situation has fallen into a stalemate for a while.
Lingchuan is currently guarded by three generals, namely Dong Cheng, Shen Ji, and Geng Gong.
Lin Chong is also very familiar with these three people, especially Geng Gong who surrendered to Liangshan in the original work.
He was also the first person under Tian Hu to surrender to Song Jiang.
Lin Chong and several brothers traveled for more than a day on the road to Weisheng.
Although Tian Hu was currently at war with the imperial court, the precautions were not so strict in places where there was no fighting.
Wei Sheng City was designated as the pseudo-imperial capital by Tian Hu, so the city is now prosperous enough.
In a tavern, Lin Chong and others were sitting around a table eating.
"Hey, have you heard that the imperial army in Lingchuan has withdrawn?"
At this time, one of the guests at another table asked.
"Really or not, why haven't I heard about it?"
Another person at the same table questioned.
When the person who spoke saw that his words were being questioned, he immediately raised his voice and replied, "Of course it's true.
A distant relative of one of my neighbors is a soldier in Lingchuan.
He told me this personally."
When the people at the table saw that the man was swearing so confidently, they all believed him a little.
"It would be great if that's the case.
It's the severe winter season now.
It's not that easy for the army to retreat and then attack again."
Obviously this man still has some brains.
"Let me tell you, I also heard that the reason for the withdrawal of the army this time seems to be that Tong Guan was defeated in a battle with Wang Qing in Huaixi.
Not only did he lose his troops, but he himself was almost killed.
Because of this, the imperial court was afraid that Wang Qing would take advantage of the situation to attack, so it transferred some officers and soldiers from Lingchuan to Huaixi to help Tong Guan stabilize the situation. " This person said again with an expression on his face that you don't know.
"Oh, it's Tong Guan again."
After hearing what was said behind this, Lin Chong did not listen.
Instead, he looked at each other and then quickly finished his meal and paid and left.
Just as Lin Chong and others went out, two people not far from them also stood up and quickly followed them out.
Lin Chong and the others found an ordinary inn to stay, and then Shi Qian said, "Brother, little brother, go out and see if you can find out some useful information."
"Okay, but be careful," Lin Chong agreed.
"Brother, don't worry.
I'll come back as soon as I go."
Shi Qian said and opened the door and walked out.
Yan Qing remembered the conversation of several people in the restaurant just now and asked Lin Chong, "Brother, do you think what those people just said is true?"
If the government troops really withdraw, in this case I think Tian Hu might be even more arrogant and may not agree to cooperate with us."
Yan Qing's worry is justified.
Tian Hu was originally a very arrogant person, and now that the officers and soldiers have retreated, this will further breed his arrogance.
Lin Chong understood what Yan Qing meant and replied, "Brother, what you said makes sense.
If the imperial court now has the upper hand, then Tian Hu might agree to join forces with us if he is afraid of the current situation.
But now that the imperial court has withdrawn, everything will be hard to say."

"Then should we contact Tian Hu?"
Bian Xiang asked.
Before "we" could finish Lin Chong's words, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
"Brother, there's something wrong."
Shi Qian, who had just gone out, ran in in a panic and quickly closed the door.
When Lin Chong and others saw Shi Qian's expression, they all stood up.
"What happened?"
Lin Chong asked hurriedly.
"When I just went downstairs, I saw two people wearing Tian Hujun uniforms, asking about something from the waiter at the door.
I pretended to pass by and heard that the two people were asking for information about us.
The two men left after asking for details.
My younger brother followed them all the way and saw them entering the Yamen not far away.
It seems that our identities were exposed.
"Shi Qian said quickly.
"It's strange, no one in Weisheng City knows us, how did we get exposed?"
Wu Song said after listening to Shi Qian's words.
"Ignore this for now.
The matter is urgent.
Let's leave the city first."
Lin Chong didn't understand how he was exposed, but in order to avoid being trapped in the city, he chose to leave immediately.
After listening to Lin Chong's words, the brothers all hurriedly picked up their packages and weapons, then quickly went downstairs and left the inn.
When he came to the street, Lin Chong looked around and found that there was nothing wrong, so he hurriedly led several brothers towards the city gate.
The journey was smooth, but when we were approaching the city gate, we suddenly heard someone from behind shouting, "People in front of us, stop, stop them!"
The pursuers caught up.
"Come on, let's get out of the city first," Lin Chong whispered, then pretended not to hear and stepped up his pace.
"Stop them, stop them quickly!"
Seeing Lin Chong and others quickening their pace, the pursuers shouted loudly to the city gate guards.
At this time, the soldiers on both sides of the city gate also heard the shouts and walked towards Lin Chong and the others.
"You guys stop," one person shouted.
"Kill" Lin Chong could not listen to them.
When he saw what happened, he immediately ordered to take action.
Wu Song and others behind him had already secretly held their weapons in their hands, and immediately took action upon hearing Lin Chong's order.
The city gate guards didn't expect that Lin Chong and others would attack and hurt people.
They couldn't dodge and were chopped down six or seven times.
"The enemy is attacking, close the city gate quickly"
The guard shouted immediately when he saw this.
"Mu Hong and Bian Xiang seize the door!"
Lin Chong shouted.
After this delay, the pursuers from behind had already caught up.
"Come on, let's get out of the city gate first."
Lin Chong was worried about being trapped in the city, and there would really be no way out.
The people who "killed" Wu Song also knew that the matter was urgent, so they did not dare to fight and walked out of the city gate while fighting.
Mu Hong and Bian Xiang had already killed the soldiers who were about to close the door and kicked the corpses into the middle of the city gate to prevent the city gate from closing.
There were originally thirty or fifty people guarding the city gate, but when Lin Chong and several others killed them, there were not many left.
"Let's go!"

Lin Chong yelled and ran out first.
Coincidentally, just as Lin Chong and others were running out of the city gate, a carriage came from the road outside.
On both sides of the carriage followed a man who looked like a butler, and four sergeants on horseback.
The carriage was driven by a coachman.
The coachman was about to enter the city when he suddenly saw several people running out of the city gate, covered in blood and holding weapons in their hands.
"Not good."
When the coachman saw Lin Chong and others, he was frightened and turned around to run away.
The housekeeper also ordered four sergeants to come forward to protect him.
Lin Chong and others were overjoyed when they saw the carriage and the sergeant.
"Get the horse," Lin Chong shouted loudly
