Chapter 766: Insidious intentions
Chen Jisheng unexpectedly learned that Gao Jie, a general under the command of King Fu, actually led 10,000 troops to Leshan quietly, which made Chen Jisheng quite interested. He didn't hesitate, and on the spot, he and Liu Guangzuo took more than a dozen personal guards to Leshan to spy on the situation.
Ten miles away, if you hurry up, you can reach it in half a day, and the Dongjiang Army spies who were in Leshan earlier had been waiting for a long time, and it was very unexpected to see Chen Jisheng arrive in person. The three spies who stayed in Leshan were three young men in their twenties, they were recruits in the army, and because the young people were clever, they became scouts in the army.
The monkey is the captain of the three, the dog is the second, and the eaglet is the smallest, and the three of them are out on a mission for the first time, but they have inadvertently made a great contribution. Especially seeing Chen Jisheng's arrival, the three of them were very excited.
Monkey is the boss, and the most clever of the three, as a rookie, he didn't learn anything else in the army, and the only thing he was keen on was making friends. It was his ability that gave him the honor of being sent out to carry out the mission alone.
Only those who perform tasks in the military can make meritorious contributions, and only with meritorious service can they stand out among thousands of colleagues. I don't know if it's the monkeys who really have the ability or if they are lucky, they encountered such a good thing on their first mission.
"General, I'm a monkey, and I'm the captain of the ten groups in charge of patrolling Leshan. The two people next to me are a dog and a kitty, and we're in a group! The monkey accompanied the smiling face and introduced himself and others to Chen Jisheng.
Chen Jisheng glanced at the monkey, and with so many years of experience in the army, he could see at a glance that the three people in front of him were all recruits. He nodded with satisfaction: "Monkey, don't worry, as long as the news is confirmed this time, General Ben will give you a great credit." ”
The monkey immediately blushed with excitement, and pulled the still stupid dog and the eaglet to thank Chen Jisheng immediately!
Chen Jisheng praised them by the way, then turned to the topic, and asked: "Have you found out what happened to King Fu's soldiers and horses coming to Leshan?" ”
The monkey seemed to have a bottom in his heart, and he immediately replied: "General, the little one found that there is a small town three miles away from Leshan, called Leshan Town. Not long ago, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of a vassal king were stationed in this Leshan town. And the little one found that after the arrival of King Fu's soldiers and horses, he had been secretly reconnoitring, and found that Gao Jie, the general who led the troops, often sent sentries to Leshan Town to spy on them, which seemed to be plotting to attack the vassal king in the town. ”
"Oh, how sure are you?" Chen Jisheng's eyes lit up.
"General, the small one is just a guess, and I don't dare to make a conclusion." The monkey was not completely sure, he didn't dare to make any guarantees to Chen Jisheng.
Chen Jisheng frowned and pondered, according to what the monkey said just now, Gao Jie quietly came to Leshan this time, and it was already certain that he had a plan. And the one who has been sneaky all the time obviously won't just come to visit the vassal king in Leshan Town.
"Monkey, do you know who the vassal king of the town is?" Chen Jisheng asked in a condensed voice.
"Back to the general, the little one hasn't found out yet, give the little one another day, and I will definitely give the general an answer." The monkey only cared about Gao Jie's movements in front of him, but ignored the vassal king in Leshan Town.
"Okay, General Ben is waiting for you here for a day, and he must give me an answer by this time tomorrow." Chen Jisheng said undoubtedly.
"Yes, General!" The monkey responded firmly, and then said goodbye to the dog and the eaglet.
Chen Jisheng waited until the monkeys left, then settled down on the spot, and then sent a few of his henchmen to keep an eye on Gao Jie and them. When everything was arranged and it was not early, I just nibbled on some dry food and rested.
In the afternoon of the next day, the three monkeys returned as scheduled, bringing the news that Chen Jisheng wanted to know by the way. After the monkey's inquiry, Chen Jisheng found that the vassal king stationed in Leshan turned out to be Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu.
This Lu King Zhu Yihai is a man of temperament among many vassal kings, unlike most vassal kings who drink and have fun every day, and he is still a rare pragmatist. This Zhu Yihai, Chen Jisheng has heard of it, as far as he knows, Zhu Yihai should be in Fujian now, but he didn't expect to come to Leshan this time.
After learning that the vassal king of Leshan Town was Zhu Yihai, Chen Jisheng began to think about the coping strategy, but at this time, there was a heavy footstep outside the thatched house, and the henchmen who had been sent to monitor Gao Jie stood at the door and bowed to him: "General, the rest of Gao Jie's troops seem to have taken action, and they are pulling out the camp at the moment, I don't know where the desire is?" ”
Chen Jisheng frowned, and immediately ordered: "Continue to monitor, and come to report any disturbances immediately." ”
"Yes, General!"
By the time his henchmen left, Chen Jisheng had already realized that Gao Jie was likely to launch a sneak attack on Zhu Yihai in Leshan Town. Although Chen Jisheng does not know the reason for this, Gao Jie's intentions are already obvious.
Realizing that there was a high probability that there would be a battle in Leshan Town, Chen Jisheng immediately sent someone to inform Xu Fuzuo, who was left behind, for the sake of safety, and asked him to immediately dispatch 10,000 cavalry.
The unexpected news was soon conveyed again, according to the spies who monitored Gao Jie's army, Chen Jisheng found that Gao Jie's 10,000 subordinates actually started to set off for Leshan Town under the banner of the Dongjiang Army.
"His grandmother is a bear, does this Gao Jie want to provoke Zhu Yihai, the vassal king, to start a war with us!" Chen Jisheng, who reacted, immediately exclaimed.
"Big brother, what should we do now?" Liu Guangzuo asked anxiously on the side.
"His grandmother's, Gao Jie must not be allowed to succeed." Chen Jisheng said without thinking about it.
"Kill the past?" Liu Guangzuo was not sure, after all, they were less than forty people now, and if they had to fight with an army of 10,000, it would be no different from suicide.
"it! When we passed, we were sent to death. Chen Jisheng wanted to punch Liu Guangzuo's head.
"But when Brother Xu brings someone over, isn't it too late?" Liu Guangzuo was clearly still immersed in his own thoughts.
Chen Jisheng didn't bother to explain to Liu Guangzuo anymore, and after a little hesitation, he immediately ordered the three monkeys to be called in front of him. Chen Jisheng looked at the monkey and asked seriously: "General Ben asked you, are you familiar with Leshan Town?" ”
The monkey nodded without hesitation: "General, Leshan Town is not big, we have walked around it a few times, and we are quite familiar with the terrain there." ”
Chen Jisheng was overjoyed when he heard this: "Very good, General Ben wants you to take me into Leshan Town, is there a way for General Ben to meet with Na Zhu Yihai?" ”
The monkey immediately showed a puzzled look, but after some deep thought, he nodded back: "There is a way!" ”
Chen Jisheng was overjoyed, patted the monkey's shoulder and said with a smile: "Good boy has you, as long as things go well this time, General Ben will protect your kid in the future." ”
