Chapter 172: Bitter Meat Scheme

"Huh? Boss, are you going to let His Royal Highness the Second Prince go down to do this? It's not that I'm how, it's mainly that His Royal Highness the Second Prince is still a little young at his current age after all, and he has no experience or anything, if he lets His Royal Highness the Second Prince deal with this matter alone, Boss, I really feel that I will be scared. ”

Sima Coo scratched his scalp, since Bai Qi said so, then looking at those faces in the army that are unfamiliar to others, only the second prince Li Chengqian is in line, but if Bai Qi sends Li Chengqian to track down the general's work lurking in the new army, Sima Co thinks that he is a veteran who has debuted for so many years and feels a little tricky about this, Li Chengqian? He's really going to mess it up.

It's just that Bai Qi chuckled and shook his head at Sima Cuo's words.

"As you think, the second prince does lack some weight in handling this matter alone, so I will have to wait for a few people, and when they arrive, the task of searching and detailing them can be entrusted to them with confidence."

Who needs the boss and so on?

And the boss also said that he was relieved to hand it over to them.

Sima couldn't figure it out, and he didn't know who among Nanli's young faces could bear the confidence of his boss.

Seeing that Sima Cuo couldn't think for a long time, Bai Qi pursed his lips and chuckled, beckoning to Sima Cuo, Sima Cuo obediently walked in front of Bai Qi and bent down.

Bai Qi attached himself to Sima Cuo's ear and whispered

"Shizi Zhou is not suspicious and his little gang."

Sima Cuo's eyes widened suddenly, and his mouth was wide open.

The people the boss said would be Zhou Budo them, and Sima Cuo couldn't even think of this matter after racking his brains.

Because Sima Cuo has been staying in the barracks these days to sharpen the new soldiers, even when he was still in Jinling before yesterday, he didn't care about anything other than the new army.

It was only the boss Bai Qi who participated in a great court meeting a few days ago, of course, after Bai Qi went down to the court, Sima Cuo did not ask what happened at the court meeting.

Zhou Budo and the group, Sima Cuo's memory of these five small gangs is still stuck in the fact that they had just returned to Nanli from the mission of Dongxun.

According to Sima Cuo's thoughts, the small group of Shizi Zhou Budo should rest in Jinling for a while, and when the foreign war in Nanli is over, they will no longer have any tasks.

Bai Qi glanced at the surprised Sima Cuo, although Sima Cuo's expression had not yet stabilized, he still bent down again, and listened to Bai Qi talk to him again.

"This, too, is ridiculous."

After listening to Bai Qi say these things, Sima Cuo was a little undecided, and finally said this after a long period of relief.

But now that he has eased up, Sima Cuo has also figured it out.

In the small gang that Shizi Zhou does not doubt, there is a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and if there is a No. 1 Jinyi Wei to help secretly investigate, it can indeed reassure the boss, after all, this can be said to be one of Jinyiwei's professions.

"Okay, let's get out if we think about it, go see if the stove fire is lit, we will only stay here for one night, and we will continue to move forward tomorrow morning, so that the soldiers below should not take it lightly, and you should also keep an eye on the changing of the guard at night, although this is still south of the country, but it is always good to be careful."

"No."

Sima made a mistake at Bai Qi, then turned around and exited the tent.

At the same time, it is located in Yueyang County, which is far from the east in the south.

Huang Gai laughed and sat down in the lobby, he looked at the captain beside him, and said to him with some admiration

"Thank you, Mr. for your help, the general finally escaped from under Zhou Dunyi's hands and came to this Yueyang County."

Jiang Gan smiled back at Huang Gai, at this time he had already taken off the armor on his body, but he was wearing an ordinary Confucian robe, with the Confucian crown he was wearing, he looked like a Confucian student.

"The praise of the old general, the kid doesn't dare to take it, it can help the old general abandon the darkness and escape from the clutches of the devil, which is what the kid should do."

Jiang Gan slowly raised his wine glass and said again to Huang Gai

"Boy, respect the old general."

"Hahaha, good!"

Huang Gai also picked up the wine glass, and the two of them showed it in the air, and each drank the liquor in the cup happily.

"Huh."

The liquor entered his throat, Huang Gai laughed, he only felt happy all over his body now, there was an indescribable sense of lightness, as soon as he thought that he ran out of Zhou Dunyi's hands and came to this Yueyang County as he wished, Huang Gai just wanted to yell at the sky.

Seeing Huang Gai's appearance, Jiang Gan also took out a document from the package behind him unhurriedly, and after standing up, Jiang Gan walked in front of Huang Gai with this document in both hands very respectfully.

Solemnly handed the document to Huang Gai's hand, looking at Huang Gai's puzzled eyes, Jiang Gan chuckled and explained

"This is a reply letter from the boy to the adult of the Jingzhou Navy Army, the Lord has promised the boy, the Jingzhou Navy will send 3,000 sailors to arrive outside Yueyang County in a few days, these 3,000 sailors are credible people, and the kid will have to ask General Huang Lao to come forward and deceive these 3,000 sailors into our command."

Huang Gai's face changed instantly, and he hurriedly spread out the paperwork, looking at the delicate font and content on the paperwork, and after Huang Gai finished reading the whole article, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva violently.

No, it's just that the content of this document, if it gets out, if it reaches Zhou Dunyi's hands, Jingzhou Sailor will inevitably be turned upside down.

It's a deal.

And this is a deal between people of very high status between the two countries.

Like himself, there is only a miscellaneous general with old seniority in the Nanli Army, and he can see some clues from this short document, let alone others.

"Old General Huang doesn't have to be surprised, the old general just needs to think about it these days, how to coax the three thousand sailors, although the lord of the Jingzhou Navy has promised, the captain of the three thousand sailors is a reliable person, but those ordinary sailors and soldiers can't guarantee it, and these still need to be skillfully used by General Huang."

Jiang Gan retreated to his position, sat down cross-legged with his legs upright, picked up the pastry on the table, bit into his mouth, and tasted the deliciousness of the pastry, while quietly waiting for Huang Gai's response.

Jiang Gan could see that Huang Gai still needed a while to get used to this matter.

Although the document did not reveal the identity of the person in the Jingzhou Navy Army, Huang Gai could guess from between the lines that the person's right to speak in the Jingzhou Navy was definitely not low, and it may even be only one head lower than the Jingzhou Navy Governor.

Closing his eyes and letting go of the document with both hands at the same time, Huang Gai lowered his head, and then supported his head with both hands.

He's having a mess of his mind right now.

Although Jiang Gan had already told himself in advance, that person's status in the Jingzhou Navy was very high, and at most he was already quite good as the No. 1 partial general, but where did Huang Gai dare to think that that person's status was so high that he could easily mobilize three thousand sailors at will.

Without any filing, without submitting documents to Zhou Yu, the governor of the navy in advance, he easily pulled out three thousand sailors from the water village.

The person who has this power can already be included in the top five in the official position system of Jingzhou Water Division.

The infiltration of Dongxun is really too terrifying.

Even the Jingzhou sailors with iron buckets can blend in with their people, and their status is so high, Huang Gai really can't imagine whether Jiang Gan has some other information to hide from him and not explain it to himself.

"In this matter, I will still need the help of Mr."

Huang Gai finally relieved himself, he opened his mouth slightly, obviously the words he wanted to say had reached his mouth, but what he heard in his ears was that he said these words.

Jiang Gan didn't notice that something was wrong with Huang Gai, he just smiled kindly and replied without hesitation

"This is natural, the kid will definitely do his best to help General Huang Lao and bring these three thousand Jingzhou sailors under his command for my Dongxun."

When talking about these words for me Dongxun, Jiang Gan obviously accentuated his tone, as if he was reminding Huang Gai intentionally or unintentionally that he was now turning against him Dongxun, and he no longer had to think about things from the perspective of Nanli as before.

Huang Gai heard Jiang Gan's words, nodded in response, then poured a full glass of wine, picked up the wine glass and saluted Jiang Gan in the air, and said

"For me Tosun."

"The old general is so knowledgeable, compared to the future after arriving in Dongxun, it will be sooner or later to be promoted to the rank of knight."

Jiang Gan didn't lift the wine glass this time, because he saw that Huang Gai had already drunk the glass of liquor in one gulp, and then lowered his head, as if he had started to tangle in his heart again.

Oh, this old thing, let's let him get tangled, anyway, it's still too late, I'm still waiting, if this old thing hasn't made a decision in the back, then I can only make a decision for this old thing personally.

Indecisive, no wonder such a large number of old people are still a miscellaneous general in the south, I really didn't expect that the famous Zhou Wang Ye would also be not strict, and I took advantage of the loophole, hum, I hope that the Shen army master can seize this opportunity and step on the reputation of the Zhou prince.

I, Dongxun, have long needed a qualified marshal to prop up the faΓ§ade of the empire.

After three rounds of drinking, Jiang Gan got up and picked up his baggage and said goodbye to Huang Gai, Huang Gai's face was a little flushed, and he replied vaguely with a little drunkenness in his tone

"Sir, let's go, Ben General, Ben Jiang won't send Mr."

Jiang Gan nodded, bowed to Huang Gai, and then turned around and walked out of the lobby, after walking out of the lobby, what Huang Gai didn't notice was that the corners of Jiang Gan's mouth rose slightly, and some sinister smiles flashed.

In the same way, after Jiang Gan walked away, the flush on Huang Gai's face suddenly dissipated, raised his head, and looked at the door of the lobby, there was no more drunkenness in his eyes, only a touch of unpredictable coldness.

Getting up and picking up the paperwork, Huang Gai snorted coldly, turned around and walked into the bookshelf on the side.

Third line

Count the fifth book from left to right

Huang Gai pulled out the book, and then the bookshelf began to rotate, and in a few moments, a secret door appeared from behind the bookshelf.

Pushing open the secret door, Huang Gai walked in, and when Huang Gai walked into the secret door, the bookshelf also rotated back to its original state.

After entering the secret door, Huang Gai skillfully took out a fire fold, blew it up, took down a torch hanging on it from the left side of the wall, and lit the torch with the fire fold, through the light of the torch, reflected the scene behind the secret door.

It's a long staircase, and the steps go down, and it's a bit bottomless.

The aisles are a bit narrow, providing only a position for one person to pass through.

After slowly walking down the steps, another iron door appeared in front of Huang Gai.

On this iron door, there is a tiger-like door lock, and he took out a strangely shaped iron block from his sleeve, put it into the tiger's mouth, and turned it slightly, and the door lock made a sound similar to a tiger's roar.

Push open the iron door, and inside the door is a dark room.

There was a large table in the middle of the bookshelf around the wall, and a middle-aged man was sitting at the table, carefully looking at an ancient book in front of him through the faint light of the candle.

Hearing the sound of locking the door, the middle-aged man raised his head just in time to see Huang Gai who pushed the door in, the middle-aged man frowned slightly, and said to Huang Gai with some displeasure

"Why did you come in now, shouldn't you still have to drink and have fun with that little doll in Tosun?"

I saw Huang Gai smile awkwardly, took out a bench and sat next to the middle-aged man, and handed the paperwork he was holding in his hand to the middle-aged man.

Although the middle-aged man was a little irritable because he was disturbed by Huang Gai, but when he saw Huang Gai handing him a document, the middle-aged man decided to temporarily suppress the irritability in his heart, took the paperwork, and carefully read it by the candle.

"This matter, the prince has already arranged it, you don't have to worry."

After reading the paperwork, the middle-aged man was not as frightened as Huang Gai, but had an unusual blandness, and casually threw the paperwork aside.

"Does the prince know about this?"

"How can you not know, hey, you guy is really old, have you forgotten the master-apprentice relationship between the princess and Zhou Gongjin? The prince and the Jingzhou Navy have always had a secret line of contact, forget it, just tell you directly, just tell you the three thousand Jingzhou sailors mentioned above, these are all letters from the prince to Zhou Gongjin, let Zhou Gongjin send to help, Dongxun? It's just pushing the boat down the river, don't think too much, the Jingzhou sailor has always been a monolith, how could a spy from Dongxun appear in a high position inside, everything is arranged by the prince, just to let Dongxun take the bait and throw the bait. ”

The middle-aged man looked at Huang Gai with a puzzled face, and magically dissipated the irritability in his heart, and explained to Huang Gai quite patiently.

As for Huang Gai, his face at this time can really be said to be ugly and ugly.

originally thought that Jingzhou Sailor had an inner ghost, but he didn't expect that all of this was just a bait thrown by the prince in order to lure Dongxun into the bait.

Seeing that Jiang Gan was a little clever, he was initially afraid that Jiang Gan would see his disguise, but he didn't expect that Jiang Gan to understand it now, it turned out that he had fallen into the trap set by the prince for them Dongxun.

Yes, Huang Gai was punished by Zhou Dunyi in public, beating the military stick, and Huang Gai proposed to garrison Yueyang County at the military meeting, Zhou Dunyi was furious, all of this was just a play played by Zhou Dunyi and Huang Gai in front of the generals of the army under his command.

For what?

Zhou Dunyi smelled a trace of danger through the channels of Jinyiwei and his sense of smell of conspiracy as early as after he became the commander of the army, and the reason why he played such a play with Huang Gai was to catch the traitor who was lurking in Nanli in Dongxun.

And the reason why the candidate is Huang Gai is even more so is that there is nothing to say, Huang Gai is one of the veterans under Zhou Dunyi back then.

This incident was a long time ago, and even if you ask those generals who are leaving the south now, they don't remember it.

Zhou Dunyi was young and went out of the cabinet to be crowned king, and there were eight strong generals under his command, including Huang Gai.

Jiang Gan never dreamed that he had tried his best to win over, thinking that the yellow cover he had won over was just a bait thrown by Zhou Dunyi.

Poor Dongxun poor Jiang Gan, thinking that he was in control of the overall situation, but unfortunately it was just a grasshopper in Zhou Dunyi's hand, and it didn't take long to jump.

"In that case, what am I going to do next?"

"Continue to lurk, try to gain the trust of that little doll of Dongxun, if necessary, you can go a step deeper, but remember, grasp the scale, if it is too easy to make that little doll think that you have obtained your loyalty to Dongxun, I think that little doll will be suspicious in his heart."

The middle-aged man closed the ancient books on the table, admonished Huang Gai with some patience, and said bitterly to Huang Gai

"After the Jingzhou Three Thousand Sailors arrive, you can work hard to show yourself in front of Jiang Gan, this time the captain who led the Three Thousand Jingzhou Sailors is your acquaintance, he has been explained by Zhou Gongjin before leaving, so he can cooperate with you when necessary, Gongfu, this play, you have to sing it well, the prince arranged it, it's not just as simple as wanting to break the Dongxun army."

Huang Gai licked his lips, and when the middle-aged man said this, he didn't have any panic, and was even a little excited.

"That's nature, what the prince wants, it's what I want."

The middle-aged man nodded silently, and then after a while, as if he suddenly remembered something, the middle-aged man turned his head to look at Huang Gai and said

"By the way, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, their squad has a new mission."

"What? His Royal Highness, didn't he just come back from the Longtan Tiger's Den in Dongxun? It's only been a few days off, why did you send a task to His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, this is the idea of a person who doesn't have a long brain. ”

The middle-aged man looked at Huang Gai coldly, and spit out a few words from his mouth

"Your Majesty."

Suddenly, Huang Gai had nothing to say, and was a little embarrassed to find a crack in the ground to get into.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, the new task of their team is to rush to the frontline battlefield as reinforcements, and you can also understand that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World will go to the battlefield in the near future."

Huang Gai is like blowing up Mao at this time, he is a diehard loyalist of Zhou Dunyi, and if he wants to make a choice between leaving the emperor and Zhou Dunyi today, he will not hesitate to choose Zhou Dunyi.

And as Zhou Dunyi's future successor, Zhou Budo is in Huang Gai's eyes, that is the little prince, his own master in the future.

"Little Wangye, he's only ten years old! He's only ten years old! Even if it is the little prince, no matter how he is, other children, whether they are nobles from the royal family, or children from ordinary people, isn't it a happy time for them to learn at the age of ten? Now that I'm leaving the south, didn't I encounter any big trouble, let the little prince and them go to Dongxun to perform a mission, and walked through the ghost gate, I won't say anything, after all, this is also the prince's personal belonging, but this time, let the little prince, a ten-year-old child, go to the battlefield? The battlefield is not something that people like the little prince are going to go at such an age, Cheng Pu, you, you, the prince, does he know about this matter, please? ”

Huang Gai stood up and roared at the middle-aged man named Cheng Pu, the anger in his tone once reached its peak, and Huang Gai was now trembling with anger.

However, seeing that Cheng Pu was a little sad, he rubbed his temples with both hands, shook his head silently, and replied dullly

"The prince doesn't know yet, this news only came today, and after I received it, I immediately sent someone to report it to the prince, but the prince is no longer in Nanli territory, and it will take some time to report this matter to the prince."

When Huang Gai heard this, his body instantly paralyzed, and he sat weakly on the chair.

"Why, why is there no one in the DPRK and China who opposes this matter?"

"Because this matter was proposed by the little prince himself to His Majesty, and it was also proposed in the Great Court Meeting, in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, because no one objected to protest, His Majesty also agreed."

As soon as he mentioned the civil and military officials, Huang Gai suddenly became angry again, and scolded those civil and military officials angrily

"Those wine bags and rice bags, they obviously know about the little prince, how can they not have any reaction to this matter, how can they, the prince is in Jinling on weekdays, is it not good to treat them in the court? Really, they really are, a pack of white-eyed wolves. ”

Listening to Huang Gai angrily scolding those civil and military officials for being wine bags and rice bags, Cheng Pu laughed bitterly.

"Not only that, the little prince and their team went to the front line battlefield, His Majesty only issued a will, and did not announce that the little prince and their team were going to serve in the army, whether the little prince and their team went to serve under the prince or to serve under Bai Shuai, I can still put some of my mind at ease, but I am really worried now, the little prince and their route is to go north."

"Going north?"

"Yes, go north, go to serve under Bai Qi's account, deal with the Central Plains Coalition Army."

Huang Gai's face instantly turned pale.

"If I remember correctly, the army under Bai Qi's command is a new army that was improvised and cobbled, right?"

I saw that for this question, Cheng Pu nodded helplessly at Huang Gai.

"I hope the little prince doesn't go north."
