After Cai You left, Lin Chong shouted to the door again, "Bring Han Tianlin up."
Originally, there were still three governors left in the army, namely Li Ming, Han Tianlin and Wu Bingyi.
Among the three, except Li Ming, who had secretly surrendered to Liangshan, Han Tianlin was captured alive by Liangshan soldiers.
As for Wu Bingyi, he was more reluctant.
He was besieged and killed by the rebel army, so Lin Chong just said to bring Han Tianlin up.
After a while, Han Tianlin was also escorted up.
Unlike Cai You, Cai You was not tied up just now, but Han Tianlin had his hands tied behind his back.
It’s not that Lin Chong thinks highly of Cai You, but because Han Tianlin is a military commander.
As for Cai You, "Untie General Han," Lin Chong said with a smile.
"Yes."
After hearing Lin Chong's order, the soldier quickly untied the rope tied to Han Tianlin's hand.
Lin Chong looked at Han Tianlin, who was moving his arms, and said with a smile, "General Han has suffered.
Lin has long heard Duan Pengju and other brothers say that the general is highly righteous, and he is actually a loyal and righteous man.
The chance to meet him today is enough to relieve his regrets in his life."
Han Tianlin rubbed his numb hands.
Hearing Lin Chong praise him so much, he immediately replied, "The captured people deserve to die.
How can they be praised so much by the leader of the village?"
"Hahaha, to be honest with you, General, I, General Lin Chongjing, am a man.
I would like to invite the general to join us to work together for the cause of righteousness and hoeing violence against good people.
I don't know if the general is willing," Lin Chong said to Han Tianlin with a sincere face.
In fact, after Han Tianlin was captured, he had been thinking about how Lin Chong would treat him, and he had already thought about surrendering, but he had not decided whether to surrender or not at that time.
But it's no longer possible to think about it now, because Lin Chong has already mentioned it personally, so it is impossible to avoid it.
Whether to surrender or not, Han Tianlin started a battle between heaven and man in his mind.
If he surrenders, as Duan Pengju and others have done before, Lin Chong will definitely not embarrass himself, but he may be charged with disloyalty in the future.
But if it doesn’t set, we might not see the sun come early.
So the question now is simple, do you want reputation or life?
Lin Chong looked at Han Tianlin who was struggling in his heart and did not urge him, but quietly waited for him to give his answer.
"Alas" after a while, Han Tianlin sighed, and then said, "Thank you Master Lin for your appreciation, Han Tianlin is willing to surrender."
There is a saying in later generations: "When a person is timid, his heart will follow."
Because he didn't want to die like this, Han Tianlin had to surrender.
"Okay, haha, I now have a good brother in Liangshan," Lin Chong said with a smile.
In fact, Lin Chong had already guessed that Han Tianlin would surrender, because whether one was dead or alive was actually a good choice.
If Han Tianlin really chooses to die rather than surrender, then Lin Chong will definitely satisfy his desire to serve generously.
For Lin Chong, killing someone is really easier than eating.
To eat, Lin Chong had to chew it bite by bite, but if Lin Chong wanted to kill people, he only had to move his mouth and give orders.
After introducing everyone to Han Tianlin, Lin Chong ordered Wu Yong to lead several newly surrendered brothers to the place where the prisoners were held to recruit them.
In defeating Cai You this time, in addition to the more than 30,000 officers and soldiers who secretly surrendered, more than 30,000 prisoners were captured.
This was a piece of fat meat that made Lin Chong salivate, so Lin Chong asked Wu Yong to lead people to persuade him to surrender in person.
The process of recruiting and surrendering went very smoothly.
More than 30,000 people surrendered without much effort.
Of course, a large part of the credit for this should go to Duan Pengju and several others.
After all, they were former military generals, so persuasion would be more effective. .
Daming Mansion originally had 100,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry, but later Shi Wengong was asked to attack Qizhou and take away 30,000 infantry, leaving Daming Mansion with only 70,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry.
Now more than 70,000 officers and soldiers have been recruited and surrendered, bringing the military strength of Daming Mansion to a terrifying 160,000.
After Lin Chong recruited and surrendered these officers and soldiers, he directly dispersed them all into the Liangshan team, and then they were uniformly trained by the leaders.

Lin Chong also sent people overnight to pick up the children of several new leaders, so as not to let the court know that their families would be harmed if they surrendered.
Lin Chong also asked Wu Yong to write a letter to Cai Jing.
The content of the letter was roughly that Cai You had been captured alive and was still intact.
If he did not want to lose his life, he could not send a large army to attack the city occupied by Liangshan, and Lin Chong also promised not to do so.
I will go and capture other cities in the imperial court.
Everyone uses the existing territory as a boundary, and chickens and dogs hear each other, but they never interact with each other until death.
After writing the letter, Lin Chong asked Shi Qian to select a spy from the intelligence camp and send it to Cai Jing overnight.
Not long after Lin Chong defeated Cai You, good news came from Hejian Mansion, which had not been captured for a long time.
Hua Rong led several brothers and successfully defeated the main force of the official army by using a trick to lure the enemy, and then captured it in one go.
Hejian Mansion.
During this period, Hua Rong once again used his magic arrows.
During the siege, Hua Rong shot the three defenders at the top of the city with one bow, causing the morale of the officers and soldiers to plummet.
The Liangshan soldiers took advantage of the opportunity and attacked the city in one fell swoop.
The city was successfully captured.
When Lin Chong received the news from Hua Rong, he was extremely happy.
This battle was divided into several teams, and it was the largest since the Liangshan Uprising in terms of number of people, goals, and scale.
Although the process was somewhat bumpy, the outcome was good.
The goals set in advance were successfully achieved.
Several important cities, such as Dizhou, Zhending County, Daming Mansion, Qizhou, Xiangzhou, and Hejian Mansion, all fell into Lin Chong's hands.
Although there were still many scattered cities that he had not yet conquered, Lin Chong had basically established his position in Beizhou at this time.
The title of King of Realm.
Lin Chong looked at the map hanging on the screen.
Now Liangshan's territory can be said to be very large.
It borders Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures in the north, and is almost bordering Tianhu in the west.
Needless to say, all of them are in the south.
It is the territory of the imperial court, and it is better only because it faces the sea to the east.
Lin Chong looked at the territory he occupied on the map and shook his head secretly.
The battle line was too long, surrounded by enemies on three sides, and they were all powerful enemies.
He really couldn't take it lightly, otherwise he would not only lose the good game, but also suffer serious consequences.
He fell into a desperate situation.
While Lin Chong looked at the map, he was thinking about readjusting his troops and arranging manpower.
As the situation changed, some of the previous arrangements began to become inappropriate, such as Qingzhou.
Originally, Qingzhou Linchong was intended to be a temporary government base, but with the current expansion of the territory, Qingzhou in the rear obviously could no longer be used as a government base, so Wang Jin and others who stayed in Qingzhou could be transferred out.
Now is the time to employ people.
It would be a waste for people like Wang Jin, Huang Xin and others to stay idle in the rear.
For example, in Liangshan, Lin Chong was worried that the army would attack in large numbers and the front would not be able to withstand it, so he left a large number of brothers in Liangshan to guard him, but now it seems that it is completely unnecessary.
Therefore, the brothers who remain on the mountain can also selectively transfer some to help.
Lin Chong stood there thinking about it bit by bit, and slowly summed it up in his heart.
At this moment Dai Zong hurriedly walked in, saw Lin Chong and said loudly, "Brother, something bad is going on":
