"Sir, I'll be waiting for you outside." Gao Chen saluted and went out.

"Lao Wang, what's the matter, he called me again in a hurry."

"It's not that I have something, it's that Lao Qin has something to discuss with you."

Xu Lang looked at Qin Songwang: "Old Qin, don't you have any ideas, do you want to join the army again?" "Qin Songwang participated in the Goryeo operation that year.

"I won't do it with you Chief of Staff this time." Qin Songwang smiled, "This time I'm going to do it with Principal Wang." ”

"You with him? What can you do with him? Xu Lang pointed at Wang Hua and smiled halfway through, and suddenly reacted, "You don't want to be an agent, do you?" ”

"I really want to be an agent." Qin Songwang said, "I have an idea. Since Tao Min can use Li Zicheng's forces, can we use Zhang Xianzhong's forces. ”

"Do you want to use Zhang Xianzhong?" Xu Lang's brows furrowed.

"yes, what's not to do?"

"It's not that it's not at all, it's just hard." Xu Lang said, "Our General Staff has made inferences in this regard, Zhang Xianzhong has always been erratic, and it is even more difficult to find than Li Zicheng." And he is capricious, he has rebelled several times, and he is like a murderer, he can't believe it. ”

"The murderous matter of Zhang Xianzhong is controversial in history, and I don't want to explore this issue." Qin Songwang said, "I just think that if I can use Zhang Xianzhong's power, it will also be a containment to Li Zicheng." In March of this year, Zhang Xianzhong will be fighting in Anqing, and we can go there to find him. ”

"I don't agree." Xu Lang objected, "First, history has changed now, and if Li Zicheng established a base in Shaanxi, it is difficult to say whether Zhang Xianzhong will go to Anqing. Second, we don't have the energy and manpower to look for him, and even if we do, how can we guarantee that we will be able to move him. ”

"But if you don't go, you won't even have a chance." Qin Songwang was a little excited, "It doesn't matter if I don't have manpower, I can go in person, as long as a few agents from the Second General Affairs Department follow me." ”

"What are you kidding, it's too risky." Xu Lang shouted, "There are wars everywhere on the mainland now, you just bring a few people, what if something happens on the way, what if Zhang Xianzhong thinks you lied to him." ”

"You two don't argue yet." Wang Hua said, "I personally think that Lao Qin's method is not completely impossible, I will make a report to the joint command tomorrow, and the joint command will have an idea on how to implement it." ”

"I don't express my opinion on whether to contact Zhang Xianzhong or not, but Qin Songwang must not go, this is my personal opinion, and it is also the opinion of the General Staff."

"Xu Lang, don't be so excited." Qin Songwang smiled, "Sit down first, and then let's discuss." If you have a lot of ideas, then give them to the staff officers. ”

When Xu Lang returned home, others had already finished dinner, Liu Guannan and Xia Yang did not come back, only Lu Tianxiang and Sun Tianhao were at home.

Xu Lang didn't tell the two of them about Qin Songwang's plans, and went back to the house after eating a few bites of food.

Zhao Zhiruo had already packed up Xu Lang's bags and sat at the table in a quiet daze.

"Xu Lang, what is Wang Hua looking for you?" Cheng Yiyi asked.

"It's nothing, the Second General Affairs Office will also send someone to follow me to the north this time." Xu Lang lied temporarily.

Cheng Yiyi glanced at Zhao Zhiruo, and the two of them walked to Xu Lang's side and made a blessing: "General Xu, the concubine is ready to stop, the general can do whatever he wants." ”

Xu Lang laughed: "Are you interested here?" But I'm not interested. ”

Cheng Yiyi was bored, and pinched Xu Lang's arm fiercely: "It's boring, it's really disappointing." ”

Xu Lang dragged Cheng Yiyi: "I'm joking, how can I not be interested." ”

"Go, go, go." Cheng Yiyi shook off Xu Lang's hand, "I'm not interested." ”

"You're really out of interest?" Xu Lang smiled and pulled up Zhao Zhiruo, "Let's go, Zhiruo, let's go and be happy, just let her watch it." ”

Zhao Zhiruo covered her mouth and laughed, Cheng Yiyi grabbed Xu Lang's clothes and dragged them to the side of the bed: "I want to see how much interest you have tonight, if you don't let us have fun, I want to sleep tonight." ”

Yao Chun had just laid down next door, but suddenly sat up: "Xianggong, why is there movement next to you." ”

Sun Tianhao had already heard it: "It seems that it is right not to buy this house, the sound insulation effect is too poor, and the quality of the building is worrying." ”

Yao Chun didn't understand: "Xianggong, what do you mean?" ”

Sun Tianhao smiled evilly: "Lady, listen carefully, what is the movement." ”

Yao Chun really listened sideways for a while, blushed suddenly, lowered his head and stopped talking.

Sun Tianhao hugged Yao Chun in his arms: "Lady, let's also make some moves, bigger than them, overpower them." ”

Early the next morning, Xu Lang came to the well in the courtyard alone to fetch water to wash his face, and Sun Tianhao quietly walked to his side: "Brother Xu, last night was amazing, until midnight." ”

Xu Lang put down the bucket in his hand and looked at Sun Tianhao: "Your kid's movement is not small, don't think I didn't hear it." ”

"You heard that, too." Sun Tianhao pointed at Xu Lang, "You said that your house, is there still a way to live in it?" ”

"Each other, each other." Xu Lang smiled, "Don't say anything about anyone." ”

Xia Yang and Liu Guannan walked in from the outside at this time: "What are you talking to each other, what are you two talking about early in the morning?" ”

"Nothing." Xu Lang asked, "Why did you only come back now, did you stay up all night last night?" ”

"Two more bandits were caught." Liu Guannan replied, "I was interrogated overnight, and I did it all night, and Tianyang was also with me." ”

"Did you find out?" Sun Tianhao asked.

"It's nothing, and they don't know much about it." Xia Yang said, "But there must be people in Yulin Bay who have not been arrested, and Han Wantao is also searching for them." ”

"Wash your face, let's eat first." Xu Lang handed over the towel, "Hurry up and rest after eating, don't be too tired." ”

At the dinner table, Liu Guannan asked, "Xu Lang, when are you leaving?" ”

"It's not too late, it's only three or five days at the latest."

"So fast?" Sun Tianhao asked, "Is Xu Tianbin's infantry regiment full?" ”

"It's already full, and a batch has been drawn from other units. has already sent a letter to Ye Zhan, He Chaoyong is training the fourth regiment, and when Ye Zhan comes back, he will directly take the fourth regiment and the artillery battalion to pull. ”

"How are you going to go this time?" Lu Tianxiang asked.

"Lu Lao." Xu Lang replied, "There are no more ships at home, and it will take a month for the two new warships to be launched, and the First Fleet is now in Singapore, so we can only go on foot." I roughly calculated that I could walk up to 120 miles a day, which is the limit. If there are no accidents on the road, it will take us 50 days, which means that it will be good to arrive in Datong at the end of February. Ye Zhan can wait for the First Fleet and the Pearl to come back and take a ship to Shandong, from Shandong, the time should be in early March, which is the fastest. ”

Lu Tianxiang put down his chopsticks and thought carefully for a while: "The independent division can only be assembled in early March, and it will start to recover Yanchang County in April at the earliest." ”

Sun Tianhao was stunned and asked, "Old Lu, is there any problem?" ”

"Nothing else." Lu Tianxiang said, "I'm afraid that there will be any movement on Huang Taiji's side." ”

Ji Tonghai stood in front of the military camp in Nanpu and looked at the sea in a daze, his heart was doing a fierce ideological struggle. A few days ago, he sent Tao Gong's attack on Phi Dao to Governor Chiang in Beijing, but Tao Min disappeared these days, and the new Korean army in Nampo had no intention of going to attack Phi Dao.

Ji Tonghai faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, was there something wrong with Shengjing or something went wrong, or was it that he had expressed his loyalty to Haoge and let the Taomin brothers know? In the past few years that he has been lurking in the Tartars, for safety, he has only developed two members, both of whom are Han Chinese, which has made it extremely difficult to transmit information to Yulin Bay.

It would be nothing if it was just Tao Min who knew that he had been in contact with Haoge, but Ji Tonghai felt that things might not be so simple. Could it be that he was exposed? Ji Tonghai carefully recalled what he had done during this period of time, and he didn't think of anything he did wrong, what happened.

Don't? Ji Tonghai's heart was suddenly shocked, could it be that the Taomin brothers didn't plan to attack Phi Dao at all, and released this news just to test themselves?

Ji Tonghai's heart was in turmoil, and a voice sounded behind him: "Mr. He, my prince asked Mr. to go." ”

As soon as Ji Tonghai turned around, a clothed man stood behind him respectfully. The biggest difference between this coat and the others is that he is a Manchu and belongs to the Yehnara clan, and his name is Ardahan. After the Yehe tribe was defeated by Nurhachi, the entire Yehe tribe submitted to the Jianzhou Jurchens. But Ardahan's grandfather refused to surrender, and the whole family was reduced to slavery, and Ardahan was not yet born at that time. Later, Ardahan's father once planned an anti-Nurhachi riot, and was beheaded by Nurhachi, and stipulated that Ardahan's family would be enslaved forever. Therefore, Ardahan has not seen his father since he was born, and he has been burdened with the deep hatred of two generations and has made a rare Manchurian coat. Ardahan was the son of the Zilharang family, who had remained in North Korea since he was replaced by Hauge.

Ji Tonghai has been paying attention to this Ardahan for a long time, and there is not a single Manchurian member in his network, so many things are inconvenient. Ji Tonghai thought many times about developing this Ardahan, but he never took action.

Ji Tonghai smiled at Ardahan: "I know." ”

Ardahan snorted a thousand and stood up to leave, but Ji Tonghai shouted to him again: "What's the matter with your face." ”

Ardahan touched his injured face, looked at Ji Tonghai and did not speak.

Ji Tonghai understood that he didn't know which Eight Banners were beaten because of what angered him. Ji Tonghai sighed: "I have some medicine there, you can take it back and wipe it when you have time." Try not to mess with them, those people are unreasonable. ”

"Thank you, Mr. He." Ardahan showed an unusual smile, and here in Ji Tonghai, he felt a warmth that he couldn't feel anywhere else.

"You dog minion, and you've come here to steal and play tricks." An eight-banner Ezhen came over with a leather whip. Ji Tonghai knew that this Ezhen did not belong to the fast robbery team, but was a subordinate of Zilharang.

"The slave is not lazy, the slave came to invite Mr. He on the order of the prince." Ardahan argued.

"You still dare to keep your mouth shut." Ezhenhu whipped Ardahan on the head.

"Stop." Ji Tonghai stopped this Ezhen, "He did come to find me, and your prince invited me to go." Ji Tonghai said the word invitation very seriously.

That Ezhen looked at Ji Tonghai, didn't say anything and turned away.

"Thank you, Mr. He."

Ji Tonghai patted Ardahan's shoulder: "Let's go, go see your prince." ”

There is nothing important for Jierharang to find Ji Tonghai, but Haoge told him about Ji Tonghai's refuge before returning to Shengjing, so Jierharang looked for Ji Tonghai from time to time to chat, and wanted to learn about the Taomin brothers' movements through Ji Tonghai.
