After a lot of fighting, the fire in Yanmen Pass was almost extinguished. Only scattered sparks were still persisting alone, but they were quickly doused by a bucket of ice water.
Although the fire was extinguished, the remaining heat after the fire still made the area around Yanmen Pass warm.
After the Tiger Banner army entered Yanmen Pass, all the houses in Yanmen Pass were requisitioned. In addition, tents were erected.
Wang Yuncheng returned to his tent.
The coal stove in the tent has been lit, but the coal inside has not been burned completely. This makes the temperature inside the tent not too high, but because it blocks the cold wind outside, it will not be too cold if you stay inside.
"Find a place to sit by yourself." Wang Yuncheng greeted Ding Sanyou and others, and asked someone to pour a cup of hot water for each of them.
Ding Sanyou and several foreign intelligence agents each found a bench and sat down.
The big account had just been completed not long ago, and many things in it had not yet been sorted out, so it seemed quite messy. Several documents were being packed away in the account.
"Don't be so nervous. Although you have been working at the Yanmen Guards Station, you are still your own people. You will know when you have the opportunity to go to Datong Town to meet our general in the future. Our Tiger Flag does not have so many messy rules." Seeing that Ding Sanyou and others were nervous, Wang Yuncheng smiled and expressed relief.
He pulled up a chair and sat beside the coal stove.
"Wang Shizheng, if you have anything to do, just give us your instructions. The director of our department handed us over to you, and naturally he agreed to let us work for you." Ding Sanyou said.
Wang Yuncheng nodded when he heard this and said, "There are indeed things that need you, and you are the only ones who are the most suitable candidates."
"Wang Shizheng, can you tell me what's going on?" Ding Sanyou asked.
Wang Yuncheng pondered for a moment and said: "It's not a violation of principles. I hope you can come forward and persuade some of the guards at Yanmen Guards Station to surrender for me."
"Okay." Ding Sanyou agreed directly without thinking.
Seeing that the other party agreed so happily, Wang Yuncheng said with a smile: "I need it urgently. After you finish drinking the hot water in your hands, you'd better go to the captives and recruit a few trustworthy people to bring them over. I will be in this big room." The account is waiting for you."
"Since Master Wang is in a hurry, let's drink the hot water and go now." Ding Sanyou stood up from his seat.
As soon as he stood up, Tian Qi and others also stood up.
Wang Yuncheng nodded and said, "That's fine. I'll arrange for someone to take you there. I'll wait for your good news here."
Ding Sanyou left the tent with Tian Qi and others.
Leading them was a staff officer.
This staff officer is an ordinary staff officer of the combat division. Unlike the chief of staff like Lin Wenye, every combat division has such an ordinary staff officer. Not only is there an ordinary staff officer at the combat division level, there are also ordinary staff officers at the combat barracks level. There is a chief of staff and several ordinary staff officers.
"Xiao Yingzheng, under the orders of Shizheng, I took them to select a few prisoners." The staff officer found Xiao Kui, the Zhanbing Yingzheng who was guarding the prisoners.
Xiao Kui glanced at Ding Sanyou and others.
He naturally recognized these people. When he entered Yanmen Pass earlier, these people opened the gate of Yanmen Pass and knew that they were spies from the Foreign Intelligence Service.
"Okay, go!" Xiao Kui did not refuse, but turned to the guard beside him and said, "Tong Qing, you are familiar with them, go with them."
"Yes." The guard named Tong Qing stood up.
The staff officer smiled and said to Xiao Kui: "Thank you, Xiao Yingzheng."
"Okay, let's go. If you have anything to do, just tell Tong Qing." Xiao Kui waved his hand gently, indicating that they could leave.
With Tong Qing, a familiar person, leading the way, the group quickly arrived at the place where the prisoners were held.
The prisoners were put back into the barracks.
However, there used to be a limited number of guards living in a barracks, but now there are twice as many people in one barracks as before, and some barracks even have two or three times more people.
"Tong Guard, where is the person I mentioned before being imprisoned?" Tian Qi asked Tong Qing who was leading the way.
Tong Qing thought for a moment and remembered who the other party was talking about, and said, "Come with me. I have taken special care of the place where they were detained."
He leads the way.
Soon, they arrived outside a barracks where prisoners were held.
"Go and open the lock and bring out the prisoners inside." Tong Qing asked the soldiers guarding the prisoners to bring out the prisoners from the barracks.
The soldier unlocked the door, pushed open the door, and shouted inside: "Everyone inside, come out and assemble."
Shortly after he finished speaking, nervous-looking prisoners walked out one by one and stood side by side outside the door of the barracks.
"It's Tian Qi and the others."
Among the people who came out of the barracks, some recognized the identities of Tian Qi and Ding Sanyou and shouted excitedly.
"Shut up and be honest. If you dare to yell again, be careful and I will deal with you." The soldiers standing aside shouted loudly, suppressing the private conversations among the prisoners.
Tong Qing turned to look at the staff officer on the side and said: "Commander Feng, everyone has been called out. Just pick whoever you want, as long as the soldiers next to the selected person will bring them out."
"I'm just a guest, come on!" Staff Feng looked at Ding Sanyou, Tian Qi and others.
After hearing this, Tian Qi pointed at one of the prisoners and said: "He is my commander at Yanmen Guards. He usually takes care of me, so let him be the one!"
"Go and bring that man out." Tong Qing ordered the soldiers on the side.
The soldiers walked over and took the person pointed out by Tian Qi out of the prisoners.
"I, I, I, brother Tian, don't forget me, we are brothers who eat with a spoon." A man next to the chief pointed by Tian Qi quickly waved to Tian Qi.
Tian Qi nodded towards Tong Qing.
Tong Qing said to the soldiers on the side: "Bring him here too!"
Before the soldiers could pass by, the man hurriedly walked out from among the prisoners, and in a few steps he came to Shi Chang, who had walked out first.
When the other prisoners saw the two men being taken away, they began to recommend themselves.
They were all from the Yanmen Guards Station. They usually looked down without looking up. Even if they didn't know their first names, they could still call each other by their nicknames. Therefore, these people recommended themselves to Ding Sanyou and others, hoping to be selected from among the prisoners.
"Who else is needed? Just say that if these people are not good enough, there are other prisoners to choose from." Tong Qing said to Ding Sanyou and others.
Ding Sanyou, who was standing next to him, said: "Tian Qi, you should choose one. I think the three of them should be about the same."
Hearing this, Tian Qi's eyes once again selected among the prisoners in front of him.
"Just him!" Tian Qi pointed at one of the prisoners.
"Okay." Ding San nodded.
Tong Qing said to the soldiers on the side: "Bring that man out as they said."
