Chapter 484: Gao Chen's Request for Orders (Medium)
Outside Tianjin Wei, Taogong's military camp has begun to take shape, the tall walls are boxy, and all kinds of watchtowers and horses are lined up everywhere. The entire barracks were filled with busy North Korean New Army.
Gao Chen rode a war horse and galloped on the road, when suddenly there was a bang, and a tripwire bounced up from the grass on both sides of the road.
Gao Chen fell heavily from his horse to the ground, and more than a dozen new Korean soldiers poured out of the grass.
"Don't shoot, don't shoot." Gao Chen shouted in the Manchurian dialect that he had learned improvised, "I am the person of the prince of Taomin, my own person. ”
A new Korean soldier came up with a flintlock pistol and asked in Manchurian: "Who do you say you are?" ”
Gao Chen had learned a few words of Manchurian dialect in total, but now he couldn't understand what the North Korean was saying: "Is there anyone who knows Chinese, I don't know Manchu." ”
As soon as the surrounding North Koreans heard Gao Chen speak Chinese, they all raised the guns in their hands, and Gao Chen shouted in a few Manchu words: "Don't shoot, don't shoot, I'm the person of the prince of Taomin, I want to see Taogong Baylor." ”
Gao Chen was taken to Tao Gong's barracks, and Tao Gong stared at Gao Chen for a while: "You said that you are the prince's person, why have I never seen you, what credentials do you have?" ”
"Back to Lord Belle, it is indeed a person from Prince Taomin below, I can't get any evidence now, but I am also a person from the Yulin Army below."
"You make it clear, who you really are."
"The sun and the moon fall together, and the gold will last forever." Gao Chen said these eight words in Manchu.
Tao Gong's heart hesitated, these eight words were unknown to others except himself and his brother, this was the contact signal that Tao Gong had agreed with the two traitors in the prisoners of war when Andreas released the batch of prisoners of war. As long as someone says these eight words to Tao Gong, it shows that he is the inner line of development in Yulin Bay.
But why did the person in front of him appear here, he should be in Yulin Bay.
Tao Gong didn't know that his inner line in Yulin Bay had been detected by Wang Hua's Second General Affairs Department, but he never touched them. Wang Hua knew the contact code set by Tao Gong from Li Dayao's mouth, and told Xu Lang, so Gao Chen would say these eight words.
"Lord Belle." Gao Chen arched his hand and said, "I dare to ask, has Lord Belle not heard from the prince for several days?" ”
"How do you know?" Tao Gong did not receive news from his brother for three or four days, and he was very anxious.
"The prince asked me to tell Lord Belle that more than 10,000 people of the Yulin Army were stationed in Beijing, and they were fortified everywhere, and the inventory was extremely strict, and the messengers sent by the prince were blocked."
"And how did you get out?"
"The messenger of the Yulin Army is below, and this time I came to Tianjin Wei to send a letter to Tianjin. The prince had no other way, so let him come down to find Lord Belle. ”
Tao Gong stretched out his hand: "Where is the prince's letter?" ”
"Without letters, it is impossible to bring letters out below, and the prince asked me to bring oral messages below."
"Yellow-mouthed child, a bunch of nonsense." "Do you think that Ben Baylor will believe you in a few words?" ”
"The prince asked me to convey it to Lord Belle that the letter between the prince and Lord Belle is for use, for use." Gao Chen pretended to think hard, "It's in simplified words and English, yes, that's what the prince said, simplified words and English are written." I just don't know what these words mean. ”
Tao Gong's mind was almost unable to turn: "What message did the prince ask you to bring?" ”
"The prince asked me to tell Lord Belle that he asked Lord Belle to be stationed in Tianjin, and not to march to Beijing easily. The Yulin Army in Beijing now had a new rifled gun, and they sent a special combat team to attack Prince Rui's artillery position at night, destroying more than a dozen cannons. The prince is currently thinking of a strategy to retreat from the enemy. ”
Tao Gong was anxious when he heard this: "The Yulin army attacked the artillery position at night, so was the prince harassed?" ”
"The prince has not yet clashed head-on with the Yulin Army, but." Gao Chen wanted to speak and stopped.
"But what, say it quickly."
"However, after Prince Rui ran out of cannons, he was furious and wanted to attack the city of Beijing in a hurry. The prince's hard persuasion had no effect, and now Prince Rui and the prince are stationed in separate troops. And Prince Rui has a lot of complaints about the prince, but the prince also asked him to tell Lord Belle in the next place, please don't worry about Lord Belle, the prince will deal with it. ”
"What can he do, my own brother." Tao Gong said in his heart, "Don't you really know that Huang Taiji may take advantage of this attack to weaken our new Korean army, your 10,000 new army, Dolgon's 60,000 and eight banners, and the artillery are still in the hands of others." ”
Gao Chen carefully observed the changes in Tao Gong, without any expression on his face: "Lord Belle, I have already conveyed the meaning of the prince to Lord Belle, and I will go to Tianjin Wei to deliver a letter in the future." ”
"You're still going to Tianjin Wei?" Tao Gong looked at Gao Chen coldly, "Does the Yulin Army know that Tianjin Wei has been attacked?" ”
"I already know." Gao Chen replied, "Tianjin Wei sent an urgent document to the Ming court, saying that it was attacked by 10,000 Eight Banners. If you don't go to Tianjin Wei, the Yulin army will be suspicious, and they will send messengers again. ”
"You go down to rest first, and then talk about whether you go to Tianjin Wei or not." Tao Gong shouted, "Come on, bring this person down first." ”
Tao Gong sat in the big tent and thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became, whether what this messenger said was true or false, and whether there was any danger in his brother's place. Tao Gong now really misses the phone and mobile phone in his previous life, even if there is a telegram.
"Someone, go and invite Mr. He."
After Ji Tonghai listened to Tao Gong's narration, his heart also beat a drum, and it was difficult for him to judge whether this messenger was real or fake in such a short period of time.
"Mr. He, what do you think?" Tao Gong asked anxiously, "Is this messenger's words credible?" ”
"Lord Belle, you let the minions think about it first, and the minions can't figure it out all of a sudden." Ji Tonghai pondered for a while, "Lord Belle, the slave dares to ask." This messenger is wearing the uniform of the Yulin Army, and he said that he is also the messenger of the Yulin Army, and he wants to send a letter to Tianjin Wei, so the slave may ask the prince if there is an inside line in the Yulin Army? ”
"Hmm." Tao Gong reluctantly agreed, "Yes, it was arranged very early." ”
"Just now Lord Belle said that everything that the messenger and Lord Belle said was told to him by the prince himself, right?"
"Yes, that's what he said, only by mouth, not by letters."
Ji Tonghai seemed to understand five or six points in his heart, if what Tao Gong said was true, then this messenger must be fake, he could never be Tao Min's person, he should be sent by Yulinwan.
Because Ji Tonghai knew that the military discipline of the Yulin Army was extremely strict, and as a messenger of the Yulin Army, it was absolutely impossible to see Tao Min, let alone listen to any messages in person. But Ji Tonghai had a trace of doubt, Ji Tonghai vaguely knew that Tao Min and Tao Gong also defected from Yulin Bay back then, and they couldn't have thought of this. Did Tao Gong really not think of it because he was anxious or he had already thought of it, and now he was testing himself.
In addition, will Yulin Bay use this method, what is the purpose of Yulin Bay, do they want Tao Gong to really be stationed in Tianjin or do they want him to go to Beijing.
Ji Tonghai couldn't think anymore: "Lord Belle, can the slave meet this messenger in person, the slave has something to ask him." ”
