Lin Chong and others had been standing on the city wall, quietly waiting for the army's triumphant return.
It was nearly noon, and a flag finally appeared on the road ahead.
If you look carefully, it is the flag of Liangshan.
Behind the flag, a long team walked majestically.
"Hahaha, the scholars are back.
We are victorious.
I have ordered the brothers to go down with me to welcome the triumphant army."
Lin Chong said loudly and happily while quickly turning around and descending the city wall.
The music played and resounded throughout the city.
Wu Yong and others who were walking in front of the team heard the music coming from the city, and they all had smiles on their faces.
It was such a joyful thing for the army to go out and return victorious.
Cai You, who was being escorted by two soldiers at the rear, turned pale when he heard Kaile coming from the city.
"Hahaha, congratulations brothers for returning victoriously," Lin Chong said with a smile when he saw Wu Yong and others outside the city gate.
Wu Yong and others had already jumped off their horses and walked quickly in front of Lin Chong.
Wu Yong said, "It's lucky that my younger brothers lived up to their orders.
They not only wiped out all the officers and soldiers, but also captured Cai You alive."
"Well done, I know that brothers will not let you down.
When we walk into the city, I will order a celebration banquet.
I will not return until I get drunk tonight," Lin Chong said loudly.
"Haha!"
Lu Zhishen and others shouted loudly when they heard Lin Chong said that he would not return until he was drunk.
"Brother, Cai You, Han Tianlin and others," Wu Yong asked.
"Lock them up first.
Today is a happy day for the brothers.
We will talk about their affairs tomorrow.
Oh, by the way, since Brother Li Ming has surrendered, we will join the banquet together."
Wu Yong told Lin Chong that Li Ming had surrendered long ago, so Lin Chong said this.
"That's right," Wu Yong said happily.
When the army entered the city, although the people of Daming Mansion did not line up to welcome them, they were not as afraid as before.
They all watched and discussed from a distance.
Since Lin Chong occupied Daming Mansion, he has done many things to calm the people, and the army has done nothing to harm the people.
In addition, the intelligence camp has intentionally or unintentionally spread some benevolent deeds of the Liangshan army in other places, which makes the people's impression of the Liangshan army.
There has been a big improvement.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Everything must be done step by step.
If you stick to the right direction, you will always gain something.
All the brothers drank to their heart's content that night.
Even the soldier Lin Chong ordered enough meat to be divided.
He also made an exception and rewarded each soldier with two bowls of wine during the war.
This made the soldiers extremely happy and their morale was even higher. high.
Lin Chong, the newly joined officers and soldiers, also treated them equally without any distinction.
They were given enough food, meat and two bowls of wine, which made these officers and soldiers feel more at home.
However, compared with the happiness of the Liangshan soldiers, the captured officers and soldiers were depressed.
Although Lin Chong did not starve them, he only gave them ordinary porridge.
There was no way, who made them prisoners.

Lin Chong is not a saint.
In the meeting hall the next day, after listening to Wu Yong's introduction to the entire operation yesterday, Lin Chong nodded happily and said, "I owe all the credit to the defeat of the army this time, and the scholarship and brothers are indispensable.
Especially the four brothers Duan Pengju, Chen Zhu, Wang Yi, and Ma Wanli, and of course brother Li Ming.
If brother Li Ming had not surrendered righteously, Cai You might have escaped and would not have been able to take full advantage. " After Lin Chong finished speaking, he shouted to the door, "Go and bring Cai You up."
"Yes."
Lin Chong's soldiers outside the door heard the promise and quickly escorted him away.
"I wonder what my brother wants to do with this Cai You?"
Wu Yong asked aloud.
Lin Chong looked at Wu Yong, and when he saw Wu Yongzheng looking at him with a smile on his face, he knew that he must have something on his mind, and immediately said, "What does a scholar have to say?"
When Wu Yong heard Lin Chong's question, he stood up and said, "This Cai You is the son of Cai Jing.
Now Cai Jinggui is the grand master of the dynasty and has won Huizong's trust.
And Cai You himself has a high official position and is also deeply trusted by Huizong.
So, First, if we hold Cai You hostage, we might be able to get the imperial court to use a deterrent weapon and suspend the use of troops against us."
Lin Chong thought for a while after listening to Wu Yong's words, and then said, "Now that we occupy Daming Mansion, and Daming Mansion is the companion capital of the Song Dynasty, I don't think Huizong will let us ignore it just for Cai You."
Wu Yong smiled and then said, "Brother is right, but as long as Cai You is in hand, Cai Jing will find ways to delay Huizong from sending troops, and what we lack most now is time.
As long as we can use Cai You to buy us some time, that will be enough.
When we have digested the results of this battle, even if the imperial court mobilizes the Western Army, we can deal with it calmly instead of like now I’m so timid” "Well, that makes sense.
Well, in that case, I will save Cai You's life and let him make more contributions to us."
Lin Chong laughed loudly after saying this.
The brothers below also understood the conversation between the two, and they all laughed happily.
Not long after, Cai You was escorted up by two soldiers.
"Master Cai, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon.
How did you sleep well last night?"
Lin Chong asked deliberately, looking at Cai You who looked depressed.
Although Lin Chong accepted Wu Yong's suggestion and did not plan to kill him now, it was still okay to be sarcastic.
At this time, Cai You had long lost the majesty he had yesterday.
After hearing Lin Chong's sarcasm, he raised his head and looked at Lin Chong first, then lowered his head again, and then said, "I don't know what Master Lin Chong wants to do with me."
Lin Chong saw Cai You's expression and heard his unconfident questions.
He laughed and said, "Master Cai, why did you say this?
You are an important minister of the imperial court, General Ping Kou, the Grand Marshal of the Armed Forces personally appointed by His Majesty Huizong, and Lin But how can a little grass bandit deal with adults?"
After hearing Lin Chong's words, Cai You was filled with hatred, but he did not dare to contradict Lin Chong too much.
In the end, he could only say helplessly, "As the saying goes, if a man of knowledge does not speak secretly, Master Lin will not have to beat around the bush."
"Hahaha, I think Mr.
Cai must have misunderstood.
Although you and I were against each other before, the war is over now and everything has passed.
The reason why I invited you to Daming Mansion is just because I admire you.
It’s been a long time, so I hope you can stay here for a longer time, so that I can listen to Master Cai’s teachings morning and night.”
Lin Chong said with a serious expression.
Cai You's brows twitched involuntarily after hearing Lin Chong's words.
Cai You was not a fool, so how could he not hear the meaning of imprisonment in Lin Chong's words?
"Oh, I didn't expect that I, Cai You, would be a hostage and imprisoned," Cai You thought secretly in his heart.
Cai You thought about it and said to Lin Chong, "In this case, I have no choice but to be respectful rather than obey orders."
When Lin Chong saw that Cai You had understood, he immediately said loudly, "Come here, Master Cai, please go down and have a rest.
Remember, you must make arrangements well and don't be negligent in the slightest."
"Yes" the two soldiers shouted back and led Cai You out
