Chapter 485: Gao Chen's Request for Orders (Part II)
"Sir, it's okay to see you." Tao Gong was eager to know the answer, "But sir, hurry up, I'm afraid there is danger on the prince's side." ”
"Minions understand."
Ji Tonghai and Gao Chen sat face to face, and Tao Gong sat on Ji Tonghai's side.
On the table in front of Ji Tonghai were a few things that were searched from Gao Chen's body, and a few coins caught Ji Tonghai's attention.
Ji Tonghai picked up a coin and looked at it over and over: "What is this?" ”
"Back to sir." Gao Chen still called the chief, "This is our Yulin Bay money, which is about equal to one cent of silver." ”
"It's worth a penny? It's quite finely done. Ji Tonghai smiled, "I'll tell you clearly now, we can't confirm whether what you said is true or false, I need to ask you a few questions." ”
"Sir, excuse me."
"How did you do things for the prince, when, and who developed you."
"I'm sorry sir." Gao Chen sat up straight, "I can't answer this question, I will only say the answer to this question to Lord Baylor, and I have already said it just now." ”
Tao Gong was a little anxious in the back: "Mr. He, it's useful to ask, he did tell Ben Baylor just now." ”
"Hey, the minion obeys." Ji Tonghai stood up and replied to Tao Gong and sat down again, "Where is the prince now, and when will he be able to hit Beijing." ”
"The prince is now in Pinggu County."
Ji Tonghai suddenly asked sharply: "Since the prince is in Pinggu County and you are in Beijing City, how did you meet the prince?" ”
Ji Tonghai finally asked this question, and Ji Tonghai didn't know the bottom of his heart, because if the person opposite was really from Yulin Bay, if it was really Tao Gong who ignored this question, then his own question might be even deeper Tao Gong's suspicions. But if I don't ask so, I can't judge the truth or falsehood, let alone the true intention of Yulin Bay.
Ji Tonghai stared at Gao Chen's eyes, and Gao Chen replied unhurriedly: "Back to the commander, the Yulin Army sent two regiments of more than 3,000 people to reinforce Pinggu County, and this is why their special combat team attacked the artillery position. Zai also went to Pinggu County, because Zai Ben was a messenger who delivered military orders, and he had the opportunity to go out alone, so he was able to see the prince. ”
"You're lying." Ji Tonghai said, "Since the Yulin Army has reinforced Pinggu County, since you said that Prince Rui and the prince are now stationed in separate forces, and the prince is trying to prevent Prince Rui from marching into Beijing, then why does the prince still ask Lord Beile to stay in Tianjin instead of going to Beijing?" ”
"Sir, I can't answer this question below." Gao Chen said word by word, "I am just a messenger below, and it is my mission to transfer the prince's original words to Lord Belle in Xia." As for why the prince said this, I don't know what is going on between the princes. ”
Ji Tonghai stood up and said to Tao Gong: "Lord Belle, the slave has finished asking. ”
Tao Gong shouted: "Someone." ”
Two new Korean troops came in from outside the tent and took Gao Chen out, and Tao Gong asked Ji Tonghai, "Did Mr. ask something?" ”
"Lord Belle, there is no doubt that this person should be the prince's person."
"Why does the gentleman say that?"
"Lord Belle, no matter how round any lie is, there will definitely be flaws. The slave had also heard these questions with his own ears just now, and this person's answer could not find any omission, if he had never seen our prince at all, his answer would not be so leaky. ”
"Sir." Tao Gong hesitated, "Don't you think it's just because his answer is too tight, but it doesn't seem to be true?" ”
"Lord Belle, the minions also have this doubt, but the minions can't find any reason to prove this doubt."
Tao Gong thought for a while and asked, "Sir, this messenger said that he would also go to Tianjin Wei to deliver a letter, and Mr. thinks we should let him go to Tianjin Wei." ”
"Lord Belle, the slave thinks he should be let go to Tianjin Wei."
"Why, isn't Sir worried that he is a fine work of the Yulin Army?"
"Lord Belle, it doesn't matter whether this person is meticulous or not, the most important thing for us is to find out the current situation of the prince. Even if he is meticulous, he will let it go, in case he is really the inner line that the prince planted in Yulin Bay, if we detain him and cause his identity to be exposed, it will ruin the big thing of the prince and the lord of Baylor. ”
"What Mr. He said makes a lot of sense." Tao Gong asked again, "What should we do now, sir?" ”
"Back to Lord Baylor." Ji Tonghai walked to the door of the big tent and looked at it, then turned around and whispered, "It will take two or three days for our third batch of new Korean troops to arrive, and we don't know the specific situation on the prince's side now." Therefore, the minions thought that they should select an elite army and go to join the prince now, after all, the prince only had 10,000 horses there. ”
Tao Gong knew the meaning of Ji Tonghai's words, and this was what he was most worried about: "Mr. He, you go and arrange it immediately, select 5,000 elite soldiers and set off immediately, there must be no mistake." ”
"Hey, the minion obeys." Ji Tonghai snorted and asked, "What should I do with that messenger?" ”
"Just do as Mr. said, let him go to Tianjin Wei."
Gao Chen stayed in Tianjin Wei for less than half a day, and after handing over the letter written by Xu Lang to Du Sance, he didn't stop for a moment, and quickly returned to Majiakou.
"Senior Staff Officer, you're back." Lin Zhaolong and Xu Lang were unusually excited when they saw Gao Chen, in the two days that Gao Chen went out, the two of them couldn't eat or sleep.
Gao Chen saluted the two people: "Sir, my subordinates have come to return to their lives." ”
"Gao Chen, sit down first, sit down and then talk." Xu Lang looked at the young man with satisfaction, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back." ”
Gao Chen made a detailed report to the two chiefs about the situation he saw Tao Gong and Ji Tonghai, and he didn't leave a word.
"Gao Chen, according to what you say, the surname He next to Tao Gong should be Cobra." Xu Lang asked.
"Yes, sir." Gao Chen replied, "Although he didn't identify himself with me, the chief told his subordinates that the token we contacted with Cobra was a coin, so his subordinates loaded a few coins from our Yulin Bay." When the man talked to his subordinates, the first thing he asked was a coin, and he held it in his hand for a long time. His subordinates thought he was conveying a message to his subordinates. ”
"Then does he know that you are from Yulin Bay." Lin Zhaolong asked.
"Deputy Division Commander Lin, when his subordinates answer questions, they all answer according to what the chief of staff taught their subordinates. If Cobra is smart enough, he should also be able to guess the identity and purpose of his subordinates. ”
"But is he really that smart?" Lin Zhaolong muttered, "You two have made the situation too complicated, Cobra won't guess what we mean." ”
"Probably not." Gao Chen said, "Chief Lin, my subordinates can clearly feel his sharpness and wisdom in the process of talking to Cobra, and my subordinates think that he can guess our intentions. ”
"Gao Chen, you broke into the tiger's den alone, and you made the first achievement. After the battle, I will ask the Military Commission for credit for you together with Deputy Division Commander Lin. ”
"Chief Xie cultivates."
"Gao Chen." Lin Zhaolong asked, "Do you think the Tartars will come, and when will they come?" ”
"The subordinates think that the Tartars will definitely come, just in the past two days."
Xu Lang turned his head to Lin Zhaolong: "Zhaolong, let's not guess, convey the order, all departments make all preparations, the vanguard of the Tartars may arrive at Majiakou at any time." ”
