The Romance of the Famous Marshals of the Early Tang Dynasty Li Jichuan

Chapter 60: Lurking in Zheng Song County

Zhai Rang said: "The second master, this time Wagangzhai set up three naval squads, each squad is divided into assault detachment and transport detachment, spear detachment, bow and arrow detachment. I have been training in the mountains and rivers for five days, and after another ten days of training, I can go to the canal to intercept the official ships running on the canal from Zhengjun to Songjun, snatch the goods on the official ships, and quietly transport them back to Wagangzhai. ”

Shan Xiongxin said: "The big boss, this assault detachment is the most important."

Zhai Rang said: "The assault detachment requires good skills and good water quality, and the boat in Wagangzhai will sail to the vicinity of the official ship, and the commandos will swim to the side of the official ship, climb onto the official ship, and plug and tie up the sentries standing guard on the official ship and the officials on night duty.

I have been in the officialdom for more than 10 years, and I know that when these official ships lose some materials, local government officials, according to the requirements of the higher authorities, look for the lost materials, if it is not easy to check, it will be gone for a long time.

If someone dies, especially an official on night duty, then maybe the local officials must be traced to the end, I told the commandos, unless they have to do so, they must not kill the sentries standing guard, the officials on the night shift, Wagangzhai is only for money.

It will be easy to carry the detachment, as long as the water is good and the strength is great, and wait until the assault detachment has successfully gagged and tied the sentries standing guard and the officers on night duty. Put the boat in Wagangzhai close to the official ship, and the porters get on the official ship, and move the materials on the official ship to the ship in Wagangzhai. ”

Shan Xiongxin said: "The big boss, the sentries standing guard, and the officials on night duty can still see the faces of the commandos after their mouths are plugged and tied, and they must learn from Brother Xu, every member of the Navy Army will make a masked towel, cover their faces and only show their two eyes, once the incident happens, they will not be easily recognized."

Zhai Rang said with a smile: "The second master, this is a good idea."

Zhai Rang instructed Jia Xiong and said, "Mr. Jia, tomorrow, you have to measure the head size of each member of the navy team, and then make a mask for each person according to the size."

Jia Xiong responded: "Yes." ”

Zhai Rang asked with a smile, "Young Master Xu, do you have any other good ideas?"

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) replied: "Among the brothers in Wagangzhai, find out people whose hometowns are in Zheng County and Song County, and have good water qualities, disguise themselves as fishermen, and go to the section of the canal from Zheng County to Song County to fish, or disguise themselves as ferrymen and ferry back and forth on both sides of the canal to make a living, and these two kinds of people will immediately lurk in batches on the canal between Zheng County and Song County."

Shan Xiongxin asked: "Brother Xu, why do you want to find someone whose hometown is in Zheng County and Song County, and has good water nature."

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) replied: "Brother Shan, once the official ship is hijacked, the local government will investigate, and all suspicious people near the official boat, those who fish on the canal from Zheng County to Song County, and those who ferryed back and forth on both sides of the canal to make a living, under normal circumstances, these two kinds of people are fishermen in the vicinity of the local government, and if they are not fishermen near the local area, they can easily become the key objects of suspicion of the local government."

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) continued: "When we went to rob the official ship, these two kinds of people secretly helped us, and after we succeeded in robbing the official ship, we quickly withdrew to Wagangzhai, and these two kinds of people were still lurking on the canal, secretly helping the brothers in Wagangzhai to play cover, and privately understanding the details of the local government's investigation of the robbery of the official ship, and promptly reporting to Wagangzhai.

Zhai Rang said with a smile: "Xu Gongzi is right, this kind of person will be paid twice the military salary, and if he has made great contributions in the future, he will double the military salary."

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) continued: "The big boss, the selection of these two kinds of people must be carried out very secretly, once the news leaks, it is very dangerous to be known by the local government, so it must be very secret, the identities of these two kinds of people, the fewer people you know, the better."

Zhai Rang said: "Xu Gongzi, select the lurking team members, send the team members to lurk on the canal between Zheng County and Song County, and ask Xu Gongzi to be responsible."

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) said: "Big boss, I am not familiar with the situation of this Wagang Village, and it is difficult for me to find people whose hometowns are in Zheng County and Song County, and have good water nature."

Shan Xiongxin said with a smile: "Brother Xu, I'll help you find someone."

Zhai Rang said: "The second master, rest for one night today, tomorrow you will help Xu Gongzi, looking for the lurking team, after finding it, arrange for him to lurk on the canal between Zhengjun and Songjun as soon as possible, Xu Gongzi is right, the identity of the lurking team, know that there are fewer people, the better, don't tell the third person."

Shan Xiongxin said: "Big boss, after eating, I will first go to the soldiers to find out if there are any, my hometown is in Zheng County, Song County, and people with good water nature."

Zhai Rang said with a smile: "The second master, rest for a few more days in Wagangzhai, and then go to the section of the canal from Zhengjun to Songjun, and carefully look for the ideal location for attack in the middle of the night." Eleven days later, I will lead three squads of the navy army to Zheng County, and in the evening, I will go to the Yuelai Restaurant alone to meet you. ”

A moment later, after everyone finished eating, they went out of the main hall, and Zhai Rang rode a horse to the mountain and river in Houzhai to watch the training of the naval team.

Shan Xiongxin, Xu Maogong (Li Ji), and Xu Mouse walked towards Xu Maogong (Li Ji)'s room.

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) said with a smile: "Brother Shan Xiongxin, my father came to deliver two famous dishes in the morning, and you can come to my room to eat in the evening, and it just so happens that Brother Mu Jiu is also here."

Shan Xiongxin said with a smile: "Brother Xu, then I'll come at night, I'll go to the soldiers now to ask if there are any people whose hometowns are in Zheng County and Song County."

After speaking, Shan Xiongxin walked to his room.

In the evening, someone knocked on the door, and Xu Mouse opened the door to see that Mu Jiu was standing outside the door.

Xu Rat smiled and said, "Brother Mu Jiu, come in."

Mu Jiu walked into the room.

Mu Jiu said with a smile: "Brother Xu, junior brother can eat the famous dishes made by Lord Lingzun, and he will be blessed today."

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) smiled and said, "Brother Mu Jiu, please take a seat."

Mu Jiu sat down on the chair.

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) said with a smile: "Xu Mouse, go and invite the second master to eat famous dishes."

Xu Mouse responded: "Yes." "Go out of the room and ask Shan Xiongxin.

A moment later, Shan Xiongxin and Xu Mouse walked into the room.

Shan Xiongxin said with a smile: "Brother Xu, I am looking for someone in the personal soldiers, and I heard Xu Rat say that Brother Mu Jiu has arrived, so the younger brother will hurry up."

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) said with a smile: "Single brother, please take a seat."

Shan Xiongxin sat down in a chair.

Xu Maogong (Li Ji) asked with a smile: "Brother Shan, have you found it among the pro-soldiers?"

Shan Xiongxin replied with a smile: "Brother Xu, I found two, and it happened that they were two brothers, but the fly in the ointment was that their hometown was from Song County."
