Volume 3 Dou Zhi Yong Sticks to the Fat City, Investigates the Spy Network and finds out the assassin Xin Chapter 23 Huzi
Lin Yu, as a grandson, was directly by Gongzijia's side, and when he stood on the fat city wall, his heart actually collapsed.
When he saw the wall, so narrow that even a horse could not walk, so low that any siege ladder could be taller than it, and so thin that it was no more than a mixture of adobe and boulders, he heard as if his heart was collapsing.
Then when he saw the ruined ditch outside the city, which was shallow to the water, and the bottom was exposed, his faith was almost in ruins.
He glanced at Long Xuanchen, who was standing not far away, and read the same helplessness in his eyes.
Lin Yu clasped his hands together, grabbed the back of his hand with two thumbs inward, and then put his forehead and nose in the closed and dull slit of his hand.
This is the posture every time Lin Yu encounters a problem that is difficult to solve. This calmed his mind first.
The son next to him, Jia, saw that Gongsun Zhi behaved strangely, making a move that he had never seen Gongsun Zhi do, and obviously did not listen to him talk about the past of fat and tired country and destroying the country.
"Jinghe, what's wrong?" Jinghe is the word of Gongsun Zhi. Gongzijia hesitated and asked.
Lin Yu put down his hand, sighed inwardly, shook his head and said, "There is nothing wrong." At the same time, he looked at Long Xuanchen again.
Long Xuanchen's face had been swept away. He's not a man who thinks too much.
He slammed his right fist three times on his left chest like Sergeant Zhao did, and did not speak.
Gongzi Jia felt even more strange in his heart.
Leaving Gaocheng this time, Li Mu sent Long Xuanchen to escort Gongzi Jia and his party back to Handan.
On the way, Gongsun Zhi insisted on a detour to the city of Feiti. The reason is that the city wall has just been strengthened, and if you can climb the high city wall, you may be able to see Yi'an and Chili, which were occupied by the Qin army.
Observing the enemy from a distance is still attractive to Childe Ka.
However, Gongzi Jia was still keenly aware of the tacit understanding and communication between Gongsun Zhi and General Long.
"There must be something going on that I don't know about." Childe Jia thought secretly.
Although his trust in these two people is not less, he still does not dare to take the treachery of the battle situation lightly.
After a round of surveying, it was getting late. I'm afraid that today I can only rest in this ruined city that has been worn by the war for many years.
The fact that the city is called Eup, shows that it is a very small city.
Lin Yu had guessed these before, but he didn't expect it to be so small and so weak that Lin Yu, who boasted of his high IQ, didn't think for several hours about how to keep his fat from being broken by the Qin army.
How to resist the attack of the Huan Qi army. This line of words was repeatedly knocked in Lin Yu's mind like a barrage.
Long Xuanchen's authority as a guerrilla general could only bring 10,000 troops, while to escort Gongzi Jia, Li Mu only allocated him 2,000 cavalry.
The fertile fields around the fertile city have no mountain barriers to rely on, and there are no big rivers to block the crossing, and the bare is like a tempting egg on the ground, just waiting for the Qin army to break through it.
It's a bit of a daunting feeling. Lin Yu and Long Xuanchen had countless thoughts in their minds this afternoon, but they were all rejected.
As the sky grew dark, most of the empty houses in this old town had been temporarily requisitioned by the garrison, and there was not even a suitable inn for a night's stay.
Gongzijia and his entourage had to find the Qiu family, the richest family in the city, to spend the night. The elite cavalry of the Zhao army, which escorted Gongzi Jia with 2,000, had to find another place in the city to settle down.
The so-called rich family has only a few decent houses. The master of the old Qiu family has long avoided the war in Handan.
When several housekeepers and servants saw the nobles coming, they all panicked and messed around, and they were busy all the way before they settled Gongzijia and his party.
Childe Jia didn't pay attention to it, so he casually found a room and went to rest first.
Gongsun Zhi and Long Xuanchen found a clean house and went inside to conspire.
Until late at night, the two of them didn't think of a good way.
"Let's go up to the walls again." Long Xuanchen suggested. Lin Yu was noncommittal.
So the two took advantage of the night to climb the city wall again.
The fat city at night was dark and dark, and there was not much light.
Fortunately, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse this night, and the dirt roads and alleys are illuminated with silver light, and the scenery is clear.
Sitting at the head of the city, a superhuman eye like Long Xuanchen saw all this small city.
Suddenly, he pushed Lin Yu and whispered in his ear, "Look at the east of the city." ”
Lin Yu opened his eyes wide and tried to look. But I saw a woman walking out of the easternmost alley on the street where the curfew had been quiet.
The woman's slender waist and narrow skirt cast a long shadow bewitchingly.
Fan Qiu is a good-looking little lady. She came to the fat and tired time with a pair of children, claiming that her husband had died in Yi'an with General Hu.
In fact, her husband was a centurion in the Qin army.
Fan Qiu is actually a native of Wei, married to Qin with his mother since he was a child, although he has not forgotten his hometown, but he is already a native of Qin.
Even his centurion husband didn't know that Fan Qiu and her mother had long been registered in Yangdu Pavilion Butterfly.
Obeying the transfer of the pavilion master, Fan Qiu took his children to this dilapidated fat city to lurk.
The night was already deep. Fan Qiu was a little scared. She gathered the burden in her bosom and looked uneasily backwards and forwards, left and right, to make sure that no one had turned the corner.
She felt more and more uneasy lately. This fat city is almost entirely staffed by soldiers.
Most of the people should flee and go. It's really strange that she has a good look like her, and she has two children, but she has been refusing to leave.
At first, it was rumored that she was secretly communicating with Qiu Di'an, the youngest son of the old Qiu family, and always wanted to stick to a rich family.
But three days ago, even Qiu Di'an left. If Fan Qiu continues not to leave, she will definitely attract the attention of others.
What is the purpose of such a helpless and beautiful woman, with two children who drag her down, insisting on living in a war-torn fat city?
So her uneasiness grew stronger.
Until early this morning, when she saw the oil shop in the city, the word "goods are broken" was hung out, and the panic in her heart did not stop for a moment, it was a notice to start the spy.
Fan Qiu, whose heart was pounding and beating wildly, was a little at a loss.
She heard a while ago that the Pavilion Master was about to come. But she's just a low-level spy. With a small butterfly like her, Yangdu Pavilion doesn't know how much she raises.
The little money she received every month was just a few scraps of silver, just enough to support her little children.
Fan Qiu hugged his baggage, walked a few steps quickly, and then turned the street in front of him, which was the back alley of Lao Qiu's house.
She knew that there were big people living in Qiu's house today, but Qiu's gorgeous carriage was still parked in the back alley.
Her task is actually very simple, she only needs to swap the contents of the bag in her hand with the things in the car.
The burden in his hand was delivered by the old man Bai, the owner of the oil shop, at noon.
After the old man Bai sent this burden, he left the fat fatigue with the fleeing crowd.
Fan Qiu thought, "I must leave tomorrow." If you don't leave, I'm afraid you won't be able to go. ”
Her shadow slid across the corner. It changes long and short in the moonlight.
Suddenly, Fan Qiu's toes touched another long shadow. She jerked her head up and looked forward in horror.
A tall, handsome young general was standing not far from the carriage.
The little general was dressed in bronze armor that reflected the moonlight, and one hand was holding the quaint long sword at his waist.
Behind him stood another handsome figure, whose face was unknown, but there was a calm and cold aura that made Fan Qiu a little nervous.
Fan Qiu stabilized his mind, but instead showed a charming smile.
For such two young people of Zhao Guo who are strong-blooded, she is still a little sure of herself.
She took two steps forward and bowed, then raised her tender eyes to look at the little general opposite.
Long Xuanchen looked at her coldly. He could already smell danger in the woman's demeanor and demeanor.
Lin Yu did not come out of the shadows on the street corner. From this angle, he could see the panic in the woman's eyes when she looked at Long Xuanchen.
A smile appeared on Lin Yu's face. He finally came up with a brilliant idea to save Fat City.
"This official, I am the Qiu family's helper. I went home and got some things just now, and I'm going to Handan with the rest of the family tomorrow morning. Fan Qiu's voice was tactful, and the tail note was a little delicate.
Long Xuanchen said quietly: "I will go to the master's house after midnight." I don't know," he stared at the burden in Fan Qiu's arms: "Are you taking this to Handan, or are you going to keep it?" ”
After speaking, without waiting for the woman's reaction, Long Xuanchen made a whistle.
A team of Zhao soldiers ran quickly and quickly surrounded the woman in the middle.
Fan Qiu sat on the ground with a frightened "bang", speechless. Her eyes were filled with tears of fear, and she still clung to the burden.
Long Xuanchen waved his fingers, and the two soldiers went up to snatch Fan Qiu's burden. Lin Yu was about to take over the burden when a voice came from the end of the alley.
"Jinghe, what's interesting, why don't you go back and let's take a look together."
Under the moonlight, Gongzi Jia's face was serious and cold, wearing only an old moon-white robe, standing with his hands up.
Fan Qiu's burden was quickly placed on Gongzijia's desk. Lin Yu and Long Xuanchen had already answered correctly with Gongzijia just now.
Lin Yu hid the part where the Qin army was going to attack the fat and tired, and only said that he found that this woman should be Yangdu Pavilion Du Die, and thought of using and controlling the spies of Yangdu Pavilion to launch a spy attack before the war.
Gongzijia was secretly excited in his heart, but he still said with a complaining look on his face: "How can such a big event not be reported." ”
Lin Yu said: "It's just a temporary thought when I caught that spy." Even General Long hadn't had time to say anything yet. ”
Long Xuanchen nodded cooperatively, claiming that he hadn't even determined that the woman was a spy at that time.
"Come on," Gongzi Jiachao's burden on the case raised his chin slightly, and said, "I will know if I will be tried." ”
The three of them gathered under the bean-sized oil lamp, opened the baggage, and saw that it was a pottery tiger.
Lin Yu was afraid that Long Xuanchen wouldn't understand what this tiger was for, so he hurriedly spit out two words "night pot" at him silently.
Long Xuanchen shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't understand. Lin Yu had no choice but to say "urinal" directly.
Gongzi Jia, who had been looking down at Huzi carefully, said "Huh", looked up and asked, "Where is this a new dialect?" ”
After a while, a few personal soldiers escorted Fan Qiu in and knelt on the ground according to her.
Long Xuanchen stood on the left behind Gongzijia with his hand pressed on Kun Xuan. Lin Yu leaned against the wall with his arms around him, leaning back, and stood on Gongzijia's right side.
Childe Jia sat upright and waved his hand to let the others go down.
Just now, the soldiers had already searched Fan Qiu's body. A tiny black pill was found in the corner of her dress.
"I guess it's poison." Childe Jia picked up the black pill and looked at it, carefully wrapped it in silk cloth, and said in a flat tone: "If I guessed correctly, you didn't plan to eat it." ”
Fan Qiu's shoulder, which had been sobbing non-stop, suddenly paused, and then cried even more sadly.
"How will Yangdu Pavilion deal with the spies who were exposed but didn't eat this poison in time?" There was a chill in Childe Jia's words.
Fan Qiu trembled his throat and almost cried.
"You don't have to cry so disappointed," said Gongzijia, "I can give it back to you now." Got your wish. ”
Fan Qiu stopped crying in an instant, raised his teary eyes, looked at Lin Yu and Long Xuanchen, and fell on Gongzi Jia in the middle.
She could see that this young man with a delicate and handsome face would be even more unsentimental and ruthless.
"What are you going to do with this stinky tiger in the middle of the night?"
Childe Jia continued: "Interestingly. We found an identical one in the Qiu family's carriage. If I guess, what you're going to do is simple. Just a change, right? ”
Fan Qiu's eyes widened, revealing the bloodshot inside that was red from tears.
Gongzijia folded the burden skin, wrapped the tiger again, and then lifted it above his head and threw it to the ground. Hearing a "bang", Tao Huzi scattered and shattered, scattered all over the ground.
A small thin iron box popped out at the same time.
Long Xuanchen went over, pinched the small iron box with two fingers, wiped the baggage, and handed it to Gongzi Jia.
Gongzijia opened the iron box, and inside it was a silk silk sealed with wax. This silk silk is extremely thin, and it is very large, densely covered with words.
Looking at it carefully, the content written above is concise and simple, listing the deployment of the Zhao army in the fat city, including a few men and horses, a few chariots, and how many crossbowmen, to name a few, very detailed.
"Probably tomorrow the carriage will leave with this newly replaced tiger, right?" Gongzijia asked as he stared sharply at Fan Qiu.
Fan Qiu wanted to shake his head, but after shaking it, he felt that it was wrong, and nodded again, feeling that it was not right, and shook his head vigorously.
This crampedness made her burst into tears again.
"Look, I have an idea to help you get the job done." Childe rubbed his index finger and thumb together and sniffed under his nose.
Although he didn't smell anything, he still took his hand away in disgust, and said in a soothing tone: "Isn't it necessary to die if you complete the task?" ”
Gongzijia quickly saw the answer in Fan Qiu's eyes. This woman doesn't want to die, she wants to live by the edges.
He put down the silk silk full of information and glanced at Long Xuanchen.
Long Xuanchen commanded Zhao Bing to take Fan Qiu down to take care of him.
The three of them returned to Gongzijia's room, and carefully studied the contents of the information with the oil lamp.
Because the pavilion is coming, all the butterflies and butterflies in the entire city should be awakened.
How to use this spy network to start a spy war before the Qin army attacked the city was the main problem that Gongzi Jia and the three of them did not sleep all night to study.
On the second day, people saw the beautiful little lady named Fan Qiu, with her two children and daughters, and followed the last big carriage of the Qiu family.
There was a look of "sure enough" on people's faces.
The woman with a good fate followed the Qiu family in the end. It's better than being forgotten in a war-torn town.
Thirty miles out of the city, Fan Qiu jumped out of the carriage and pulled a pair of children to sit in the tea shed on the side of the road to drink tea.
The carriage stopped in the willow grove on the edge of the tea shed.
The owner of the teahouse went to pour the tea leaves after a while, passed by the carriage, and put a bamboo basket carrying a pile of teapots on the side.
The owner of the tea shed took out a tiger from under the large and small teapots in the basket, went to the cart and quickly changed one back, and put it under those teapots.
Then he calmly splashed the tea leaves in the teapot and continued to come back to the tea shed to greet the guests for tea.
After a few moments, another carriage came to a halt.
A rough man with thick eyebrows and big eyes got out of the car, and when he opened his mouth, he called the owner of the tea shed to send tea and water, and explained that he would take a tiger out, and the owner of the carriage should be convenient.
The owner of the tea shop hurriedly respectfully picked up the tiger. After a while, he took back a heavy tiger and went to the grove to dump it and clean it up.
And the carriage had already staggered off the road.
Fan Qiu returned to his carriage. Before he got out of Erlidi, he was intercepted by the sergeant waiting there and brought back.
She hugged her two children tightly, her eyes down, not knowing what kind of arrangement awaited her.
Sitting in the tea shed drinking tea is also Lin Yu. He was dressed simply, like a down-and-out scholar.
He looked at the direction in which the carriage had departed, and then looked at the owner of the tea shed, whose knees were too weak to walk after the sergeants had been taken away by the sergeants, and there was no expression on his face.
In the handsome tent of the left general Meng Chen, Fan Yuzhi sat with his eyes closed.
He took the initiative to ask to come together to attack the fat. He recuperated quietly, and after a while, a man who looked like a soldier brought him a cloth bag.
Inside there was a wax-sealed silk silk silk sandwiched by a small iron box, which was densely covered with small characters.
Meng Chen looked over to him, and he didn't know why the Pavilion Master Fan turned solemn after reading those small words.
"There are heavy soldiers in the fat city." Fan Yuzhi raised the silk silk in his hand. "We only brought 30,000 horses, is it not enough troops?"
When Meng Chen heard that this was the case, his heart relaxed, and he said, "Pavilion Master, please rest assured. This attack was fat, and the 30,000 horses were more than enough. ”
As he spoke, he picked up the bronze helmet of the general on the desk, and was about to go out of the tent to order troops.
"No, what if there are 50,000 Zhao troops in the city? Have we not struck a stone with an egg? Fan Yuzhi's tone was cold.
"Fifty thousand? Is this intelligence information reliable? Meng Chen's face was full of disbelief.
Fan Yuzhi didn't want to put his conceit on his face, but he still said in a very positive tone:
"The butterflies and flies here are arranged many years in advance. The information was not sent by one person, but by the entire fat Yangdu Pavilion organization. ”
He thought for a moment, and then said, "We have arrived in the city at noon today. It's just that how to fight this battle, the general should still think about it. Don't act rashly. ”
Meng Chen is a simple-minded person. He was about to pat himself on the chest and say, "If you start a war, you have to fight quickly," when a captain interrupted him.
Visiting the Malay newspaper, under the banner of Zhao Guoda, the head of the fat city, stood the former prince of Zhao State, and all the guards were dressed as the royal family's own soldiers. I'm afraid that Zhao Guo has already made arrangements.
Meng Chen glanced at Fan Yuzhi, who was not good-looking, hesitantly walked back to Shuai Case and sat down, put down his helmet, lightly tapped Shuai Case with his fingers, and ordered the deputy general to take the map. He needs to take a closer look.
