Although he did not receive professional espionage training, he was still at least vigilant against Wang Ming and Gao Jia, so when it was about to get dark, Gao Jia went out of the back door of Wang Ming's house, and deliberately took a long detour, and then returned to his home.

It's a pity that Wang Ming and Gao Jia's anti-reconnaissance skills are purely clumsy in the eyes of real spy experts, not only did Gao Jia himself not be able to get rid of the tracking of people with intentions, and his residence was found out by someone, and when Wang Ming went to the official temple to work the next day, Wang Ming's door was also tricked out of the truth, proving that Gao Jia had been to Wang Ming's house yesterday as a guest, and he didn't know when he left Wang Ming's house.

Then the next thing is of course simple, Gao Jia found an excuse to entertain guests at home that afternoon, not only was it quickly reported to the front of the person who cared, but also immediately attracted the attention of the person who cared, and immediately sent out eyeliner to closely monitor the Gao Mansion, and the gambling man of Gao Jia Mansion also made a small fortune, just because the housekeeper of Gao Mansion inadvertently scolded him for gambling less in front of the door, and on the third day, someone took the initiative to give him a gambling money in the casino, and invited him to drink good wine and eat good food. From his mouth, he changed to the detailed list of the guests of the Gao Mansion that day.

The enemy is clear and secret, the poor Han army is Shui Cheng Gao Jia of course ignores of these situations, after inviting a few absolutely reliable old ministers of Daqin to his home that day, Gao Jia also secretly showed the letter of Xiang Yu written by Wang Mingmo, and also explained the cause and effect to Huo Yi and Jia Ping of the old ministers of Daqin, and learned that he finally got in touch with Xiang Yu, the only foreign aid he could rely on, Huo Yi and Jia Ping were of course very happy, and almost unanimously agreed that Zhang Zhi could be trusted, His own side should join forces with Zhang Zhi and the Western Chu army forces behind him.

But there are also cautious voices, at least the original Qin Tingfeng Chang Zhao Chang thought that he should not be too careless, and said to Gao Jia: "Gao Weiwei, is it too rash?" Although it stands to reason that Zhang Ping's rebel thief's family covets the throne awarded to them by the Western Chu thief king, and will help us restore the kingdom of Great Qin, but we have no contact with the Western Chu thief king before, and we only rely on a letter to put our hearts on Zhang Ping's rebel thief and no longer guard against it, is it too risky? ”

"Zhao Fengchang can rest assured, of course, Xia Guan and Wang Yucheng also consider this." Gao Jia replied: "We are also worried that it is too risky to show all the details to Zhang Zhixiao, so Wang Yucheng decided that as long as the king agrees to join forces with the Western Chu thief army, he will be responsible for one-line contact with Zhang Zhixiaozi, so that even if there is any accident, at most Wang Yucheng will only be exposed, and we will not be implicated, let alone the king." ”

"That's a good idea." Zhao Chang was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with admiration: "Wang Yucheng is really worthy of being the pillar of Great Qin, and he is willing to make such a sacrifice for the great plan of Great Qin's restoration of the country. ”

"There's no way around it." Gao Jia sighed and said: "The strength in our hands is too thin, if we don't have the help of the Western Chu Thief King, it is even more difficult to expect our former ministers of Great Qin who don't have much real power to restore the country, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky, and only by joining forces with the Western Chu Thief King is our only hope." So Wang Yucheng can't help it, even if he knows the danger, he can only take a risk. ”

Huo Yi, Jia Ping, Zhao Chang and others sighed one after another, all of them admired Wang Ming, who sacrificed his life for benevolence, but Gao Jia couldn't wait, and asked hurriedly: "Zhugong, do you have any other opinions?" If not, we will present this letter to the king tomorrow, taking advantage of the opportunity for the king to go out to the market to buy medicine in person. ”

Gao Jia was overjoyed, and hurriedly wrote a secret letter to Ziying in person, explaining the reason for the situation to Ziying, and imploring Ziying to let Yuan Zhan issue an order according to the plan, and then arranged for the absolutely trustworthy henchman family to come forward and send the letter to the medicine stall that was secretly in contact with Ziying early the next morning, so as to secretly present it to Ziying.

That night, the first snow fell in Xianyang, and Gao Jia and others were extremely worried, for fear that the snow would be too heavy and affect the contact with Ziying the next day. Fortunately, maybe God is also pitiful and miserable Gao Jia and Wang Ming and others, in the early morning of the next day, not only did it not snow again, but it was still a good weather after the snow was clear, Gao Jia and the others were overjoyed, and they calmed down and just waited patiently for the good news of contacting Ziying.

Things went more smoothly than Gao Jia and others expected, and when it was close to evening the next day, the confidant family who went to contact the medicine stall returned to Gao Jia, and immediately reported to Gao Jia that the letter had been successfully handed over to Ziying's henchman Han Tan, Gao Jia was both excited and happy when he heard it, and said after a few shots: "Great, just wait for tomorrow noon to see the king's reply!" ”

In order not to procrastinate, the situation on the third day was directly skipped, just said that on the afternoon of the fourth day, Zhang Zhi, who had been guarding the door of Wang Ming's house, had just seen Wang Ming return to his house in the car, and immediately greeted him, bowed to Wang Ming, who was getting off the car, and said with a smile: "Little nephew Zhang Zhi, I have seen Uncle Wang." ”

Human nature, when he said this, Zhang Zhi's heart of course was in his throat, what he was afraid of was that Wang Ming did not have a good face for himself like the previous two times, and he was even more afraid that Wang Ming would immediately drink someone to take him down and completely abandon his previous achievements. However, fortunately, seeing Zhang Zhi appear in front of him, Wang Ming also showed a cordial smile to him for the first time, and said, "It turned out to be Zhang Xian's nephew, so coincidental?" Laughing so happily, is it possible that the music that the official gave you a few days ago coaxed the woman you like? ”

Zhang Zhi was also very clever, and said with a smile when he heard it: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from my uncle, my little nephew is here for this today, in addition to wanting to thank my uncle in person, I also want to ask my uncle to help, and then point out the little nephew's music and dance." ”

Wang Ming smiled and said, "This is not the place to talk, please come inside the virtuous nephew." ”

With great excitement, he entered the door with Wang Ming, pretending to brag about how he deceived a beautiful girl with a moving love song, and finally waited until Wang Ming put his subordinates aside and got the opportunity to talk alone with Wang Ming in the room, Zhang Zhi immediately whispered to Wang Ming: "Uncle, how is it?" What is King Qin's reply? ”

Wang Ming didn't answer directly, but got up and left the table, walked in front of Zhang Zhi, clasped his fists with both hands, bowed deeply, and then said in a deep voice: "On behalf of the prince of the king, whether my Great Qin can restore the country, whether the king of Qin can be restored, in the future, it will all depend on the help of you and the king of Western Chu." ”

"Uncle, don't worry." Zhang Zhi hurriedly returned the salute to Wang Ming, and said sincerely: "As long as you can help Daqin restore the country and restore the king, even if the little nephew goes to the soup and fires and breaks his bones, he will not hesitate!" ”

Wang Ming nodded with satisfaction, and quickly picked up Zhang Zhi with his own hands, and said in a more sincere tone: "Virtuous nephew, don't mind, because my uncle didn't know your identity before, so he was so snub and suspicious of you, please don't take this to heart." Please also rest assured, if there is anything on your side that my uncle can do in the future, my uncle and I will definitely not shirk, and I will definitely do my best. ”

"Thank you, uncle." Zhang Zhi hurriedly thanked Wang Ming, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle, what should we do next?" What are the plans of the king and you? ”

"Don't hide it from your nephew, not yet." Wang Ming's frank answer made Zhang straight, and said: "Xiang Kang traitors are good at buying the hearts of the people, and many Qin people in Guanzhong have been bewitched by him and forgotten their roots, and the current situation in Guanzhong is relatively stable, and there is no chance to take advantage of it, so we can only continue to swallow our anger and wait patiently for the opportunity to appear, and then we can discuss how to act." ”

"When will that be?" Zhang Zhi subconsciously cried and said, "The little nephew still thinks that you already have some plans, uncle. ”

"There's no chance." Wang Ming sighed and said: "Zhou Zeng and Chao Zhi, the two Surabaya rebels, helped to abuse the thief, and watched the customs for Xiang Kang's rebels very closely, and didn't give us any chance to restore the country at all, so there was no way, we could only continue to wait patiently." ”

After that, Wang Ming also asked rhetorically: "Virtuous nephew, what are your plans?" ”

"The King of Western Chu and the little nephew of our Zhang family in Guanzhong are too thin, and our only plan is to cooperate with your uncle to restore the country in Guanzhong, and the inside should be combined with the outside, and the main force of the Han thieves outside the gate will be attacked before and after." Zhang Zhi replied without thinking about it: "That's why the little nephew did everything possible to contact your uncle before, otherwise, we would have done it directly." ”

"It would be so easy." Wang Ming said with a wry smile: "The army of the King of Western Chu is too far away from Guanzhong, and the strength in our hands is too thin, even if we start an incident in a hurry, we will not be able to get the cooperation of the King of Western Chu, and we will only be easily suppressed by the army of Han thieves who remain in Guanzhong, and there is almost no hope of success." So we have no choice but to continue to endure and wait for the opportunity to arise. ”

After finishing speaking, Wang Ming also said to Zhang Zhi again: "Virtuous nephew, next we have to ask you to use the power of the King of Western Chu to try to probe the internal military aircraft of the Han thieves for us. ”

"Of course that's fine." Zhang Zhi agreed without thinking about it, and stopped talking a little, and said, "Uncle, in this way, we can only wait like this?" ”

"Hold your breath." Wang Ming patted Zhang Zhi on the shoulder and said: "As long as the army of the King of Western Chu is still there, we will definitely be able to wait until the opportunity arises, and when our uncle and nephew join forces, we will definitely be able to cut off Xiang Kang's traitors, recover the Great Qin River and Mountain, and also recapture the fiefdom of Daiguo for your Zhang family!" ”

"So, I, a 300-stone boy, have to be a little man for a long time?" Zhang Zhi groaned in his heart, and wanted to ask Wang Ming and those comrades, but he was afraid of arousing Wang Ming's vigilance, so he could only keep his mouth shut and let Wang Ming tell him how to act, and it was important to inquire about the confidential military information of those Han troops.

After being left by Wang Ming for dinner, when he went out, it was already slightly dark, and he didn't get any valuable information, Zhang Zhi could only return to his home in frustration, and because he saw the upline leaving a password outside his door asking for contact, so the next day, Zhang Zhi went out alone, careful to prevent himself from being followed, and quietly touched a wine shop to find his upline contact.

After successfully seeing him as the owner of the wine shop, the upline first gave him a look, and whispered to him to go into the back room to talk, Zhang Zhi did not hesitate, and found an opportunity to enter the back room of the wine shop, but to Zhang Zhi's surprise, his introduction to the party, Shi Dongshu, the leader of the Han Army, was in the room at this moment, and he was looking at him with a smile.

"Master Dong, why are you here?" Zhang Zhi asked in surprise, there was still some misunderstanding, and he hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong?" I even asked you to come forward in person, an adult? ”

"Something big is wrong." Dong Shu smiled and said: "Zhang Langzhong, you have made a great contribution, and this official must reward you for King Han and Lieutenant Chen, so I came here in person today." Congratulations to Gongzi Zhang, according to the rules of our Han State Lieutenant Temple, you have now been named a squire with a rank ratio of 400 stones, and a reward of 1,000 gold, two pairs of jade, the reward I have already brought, you can take it now, or you can receive it later, or secretly send someone to your home, as you choose. ”

"What kind of merit has the government made?" Zhang Zhi was confused, then misunderstood again, and hurriedly said: "Lord Dong, Xiaguan successfully met Wang Ming's traitor yesterday, and he also agreed to join forces with Xiaguan, but he did not introduce his comrades to Xiaguan, nor did he tell Xiaguan their specific plan of action. ”

After the introduction, Zhang Zhi hurriedly told Dong Shu the details of his meeting with Wang Ming yesterday, Dong Shu smiled when he heard it, and said: "As expected, the remnants of the violent Qin really take precautions against you, but it doesn't matter, it's enough, Wang Ming's list of fellow party members, as well as their contact channels with the abolished King of Qin, have been figured out by us, as long as we are willing, we can catch them all at any time." ”

"Got it all? So fast? Zhang Zhi asked in surprise.

"It's all your credit, Childe." Dong Shu smiled and said: "Four days ago, after you deceived Wang Ming's initial trust, our eyeliner confirmed who Wang Ming's comrades were reading the letter in the next room that night, and then they all confirmed the names and identities of Wang Ming's gang of tyrannical Qin remnants yesterday, and secretly monitored the abolished Qin prince the day before yesterday, and found out the channels for him to communicate with the outside world. ”

"So fast? So powerful? Zhang Zhi was even more surprised.

"This gang of tyrannical Qin remnants hardly has any detailed experience, as long as one head is found, it is not easy to find out all of them?" Dong Shu replied with a smile.

"So when will you do it? Wipe out all these puppets? Zhang Zhi, who was in a hurry to officially become the uncle of the country, hurriedly asked.

"Don't rush." Dong Shu shook his head and said: "We have only confirmed their identities, but we have not yet obtained the real evidence of their rebellion. ”

"Master Dong, what should we do next?" Zhang Zhi hurriedly asked again.

"It's simple, just keep luring the snake out of the hole." Dong Shu, deputy director of the Han Army's Secret Service Bureau, replied lightly: "Didn't the remnants of the tyrannical Qin ask you for our military secrets? Give them as much as you want! At present, our Yingchuan hinterland is in an emergency, and the battle situation is constantly changing, I don't believe that they can keep their breath down, as long as they make a move, let us seize the mountain of ironclad evidence, we can start to take people! ”

Dong Shu, deputy director of the Han Army's Secret Service Bureau, who was promoted by Chen Ping for Xiang Kang, was quite far-sighted, and in the following period of time, the military situation on the front line changed constantly, and the Western Chu Army continued to attack cities and plunder land in the hinterland of Yingchuan, causing a lot of losses to the Han army, and the main force of the Han Army's southern expedition under the command of Xiang Kang personally did not dare to make any moves because of the disadvantage in local forces, so he could only be forced to transfer the main force in the middle and the partial division on the northern front to return to the Yingchuan battlefield. In order to gain the trust of Wang Ming, Ziying and others, Zhang Zhi also continued to add some material to these military information and leak them to Wang Ming, so that Wang Ming, Ziying and others thought that the Han army was in a tight war outside the Guan, and they had great hope of success in Guanzhong.

But it's a pity, because the Western Chu army has never made a breakthrough outside the pass, Dong Shu and Zhang Ping have never been able to secretly urge Wang Ming and others to take action immediately, on the contrary, with the strong Han army's northern division returning to Puyang, the army is about to come to Yingchuan, completely reversing the unfavorable situation of the Han army on the Yingchuan battlefield, and the hope of luring Wang Ming and others to take the initiative is becoming more and more slim. So not only Zhang Zhizhi, but even Dong Shu, deputy director of the Han Army's Secret Service Bureau, couldn't help but beat the drum in his heart, and said secretly: "Shouldn't you give up your efforts?" If we can't get the evidence, we are so great that we can take down Wang Ming's group of rebels, and there is no reason to attack Ziying? ”

Fortunately, it is an incomparable coincidence that at this time, for another despicable purpose, Xiang Kang spread the false news that he was seriously ill on the battlefield of Yingchuan, and at the same time, for the sake of prudence, Xiang Kang secretly informed Zhou Zeng and others that his illness was false, and the deception of the enemy was true, so that Zhou Zeng and others did not have to worry about themselves, and Dong Shu, who was responsible for monitoring the Han army in Guanzhong, was of course one of the insiders.

After knowing this situation, Dong Shu, who was full of bad stomach like Xiang Kang and Chen Ping, had an idea, and after a little calculation, he ordered: "Give Zhang Zhi an order immediately, and let him immediately leak the news that King Han was seriously ill on the front line to Wang Ming's gang of tyrannical Qin remnants." Let Zhang Zhi clearly tell them that this is their best chance, and it may be their last chance! ”

The spy under his command sang a promise, Dong Shu beckoned the spy to the front again, attached it to his ear and whispered carefully, and asked his subordinates to tell Zhang Zhi these words on his behalf......
