Chapter 400: Attacking the Heart and Knowing the Inside Story (II)

Although the truth was revealed by He Zhe in person, Lu Jin's face did not show any panic, he still looked at the other party as calmly as just now, and he was not in a hurry to argue.

This reaction was really a bit unexpected by Hezhe, and the thoughts in his heart unconsciously wavered, could it be that his judgment was wrong? It's just that since this Han official has already asked the truth from others, why bother to talk to himself again?

As if seeing through his thoughts, Lu Jin quickly opened his mouth again: "I know why you have such suspicions, you think that since I already know everything, why should I come to tell you clearly, right?" Without waiting for Hezhe to react, Lu Zhen continued: "I naturally have my intentions in doing this, just because I can't fully believe everything that person says, after all, the stakes are high. In fact, not only you, but also the other two people who have not yet confessed, I will try to persuade them, and as long as the confessions of the two can be agreed, I will accept this statement. ”

Hezhe was stunned for a moment, and the little doubt that had just arisen dissipated unconsciously. Indeed, according to Lu Jin's statement, it is reasonable for him to come and tell himself this. However, the doubts in his heart have not been completely eliminated, after all, his three companions are all warriors who are loyal to the clan and are not even afraid of death, and they will really rebel?

"Looks like you're still suspicious of me. Well, in order to convince you that I am not lying, let me see how sincere your people are to us. Lu Zhen said, stood up and walked out of the room.

Hezhe watched him leave with some bewilderment, not knowing what he would bring to himself. But as a result, Lu Zhen called someone, untied the shackles on his feet, and then took him out. Although his feet were free, his hands were still tied behind his back, so he could not resist at all, so he could only obediently follow a few state officials down the corridor, and soon came to a hut surrounded by a dozen or so officers.

Except for the main entrance of this room, only a small window on the side is left to figure it out to the outside world. At this time, the window was open, so that Hezhe could easily see inside. And under this look, his whole person was completely stunned, and his heart suddenly sank to the bottom. Because the embarrassed guy who was tied to the pillar of the house, and whose mouth was tied with strips of cloth, so that he could not move, was their leader here!

Taiyoshi...... How could he be taken down by the Ming State Government, could it be that someone really betrayed us and confessed Taiji's identity and whereabouts! If he was only suspicious just now, then when Hezhe saw the imprisoned Jin Junsheng, he already believed it.

Just when he was surprised, a familiar voice sounded again: "How is it, this person's relationship with you is indeed extraordinary, right?" To be honest, if he hadn't gotten this person, the official might not have believed him. But just to be on the safe side, I'd like to get confirmation from you. Now I will only give you one last chance, if you are willing to cooperate with us, not only will you be able to save your life, but this crime of betraying the tribe can also fall on someone else; But if you refuse to confess, and you have to be loyal to your tribe, then don't blame the official. ”

"I ......" After another period of entanglement, Hezhe finally lowered his head: "I said ......" His psychological defense line has been completely broken by the appearance of Jin Junsheng, coupled with the consideration of survival and the safety of his family in the grassland, he finally betrayed his loyalty.

Lu Jin's heart was overjoyed, but his face was not moving, he still had that calm expression, and motioned to his subordinates to bring people back again. On the way back with him, Lu Zhen reminded again: "I have to say ugly things first, if you are willing to tell everything truthfully, it will be nothing, but if you dare to talk nonsense or hide something, everything I promised you before will not be counted." As you know, we already have a lot of information! ”

He Zhe nodded a little silently, in fact, at this moment, he had no intention of resisting or insisting, and his only thought was to save the lives of himself and his family.

In the next hour or so, Lu Zhen interrogated He Zhe in detail in the room just now, and it was not until he couldn't ask anything more that he walked out of the room with a solemn face. At this time, it was already dusk, and generally speaking, the state government should go home separately, but no one left today, and even Tian Tao, Xu Wentao and other officials actually stayed outside the door, waiting for the final result to appear.

After all, this is an important border town, and this time the matter is related to the Mongolian people, so they are naturally extremely concerned. Now that we can finally find out the truth, how can we ignore leaving at this time?

Seeing Lu Zhen coming out of the house, the eyes of several people quickly turned over, and Tian Tao asked a little eagerly: "My lord, how is it?" As soon as he spoke, he realized that his voice sounded rather dry and nervous.

Lu Jin's expression was still serious, but he nodded: "He explained everything he knew, and there is indeed a big thing brewing......

"The adults are really thoughtful, and they really convince the lower officials and others." Xu Wentao's heart was relieved, and he immediately smiled and flattered.

"Yes, who would have thought that such an impasse would be completely solved by the adult's half-truths. Jin Junsheng must not have imagined that he would become the key to solving this problem. Tian Tao also praised repeatedly.

Indeed, Lu Jin's hand is really a bit beautiful, this is completely a white wolf with empty gloves, and in the absence of any relevant information, just relying on one mouth, he said that he was defeated, which really opened their eyes.

Just when Hao Guang was about to follow along with a few words, he found that Lu Jin's face did not have the slightest joy, but looked worried, which made his kind words immediately turn into concerned inquiries: "My lord, but is there anything difficult to do?" ”

With his question, the attention of several other people finally turned to the incident itself, and they all looked at Lu Jin: "My lord, is it really that tricky." ”

"Let's talk about it when we go back to the house." Lu Jin was not in a hurry to answer this question, turned around and walked forward, obviously he was still digesting the inside information he had just learned, and there was no happiness on his face after the success of the plan.

Soon, several people came to Lu Jin, the public house of Zhizhou, and after they sat down, the eyes of several people converged on Lu Jin's body again, although they didn't ask again, but their eagerness to know everything was undoubtedly revealed.

Lu Jin's face swept over these people one by one with a solemn face, and then he spoke: "Our northern border of the Ming Dynasty has also enjoyed peace for decades, and this time, there will be a variable. According to the Tatar traitor, his Tatar Yat tribe and several surrounding tribes have formed an alliance and want to launch a surprise attack on our Datong Town around Chinese New Year's Eve this year! ”

"What?" Even though they had some psychological preparations, after hearing Lu Jin's words, several officials couldn't help but exclaim, with a look of disbelief, and at the same time, they were even more deeply frightened.

Although these officials had been worried about this after being sent by the imperial court to a border town like Ulju, in fact, they were relieved when they actually arrived here. Because the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty has not had a large-scale war of Mongolian invasion for many years since Emperor Taizong's several northern expeditions and the defeat and retreat of the Mongols.

At most, it was only a few small tribes that could not survive for a few days, and the Mongols suddenly sent troops to harass and plunder certain towns and villages in the border areas, which is the so-called grass valley. It can be said that the battle in Guangling City a few years ago was the largest battle in decades, and this was because the Mongols wanted to take revenge on the government.

In the current northern regions, even the soldiers defending the city are not prepared to confront the Mongols head-on, let alone these civil officials. So when Tian Tao and the others suddenly heard about this, their reactions were naturally extremely fierce, and they almost jumped up from their chairs.

After exclaiming, Tian Tao frowned again and expressed his doubts: "My lord, could this be that the Mongolian people are bluffing and using some lies to prevaricate and coax us?" Today's Tatars have long since lost their momentum, and even their Great Khan has become a puppet of the Warats, how can they attack our Ming army at this time? Moreover, there are 100,000 elite soldiers on my Datong border, and a few unknown small tribes can make up 20,000 or 30,000 people at most, where did they have the courage to dare to violate my Datong border? ”

This was exactly what the other people were thinking, and they all nodded their heads to express their doubts.

But the expression on Lu Jin's face did not improve because of these words: "It is precisely because the Tatars are now weakened to the extreme, and their own Great Khan is still controlled by Warat, and may even be replaced by it, that the Tatar tribes will think of working hard." And it is obviously impossible to win a head-to-head confrontation with Warat, who can coerce the Son of Heaven and order the princes, so they will hit my Da Ming on the head. If he can take Datong City in one fell swoop, he can greatly boost his Tatar prestige, so as to compete with Warat on the grassland again.

"As for the question of my strength and weakness, they have also taken it into account. That's why these people entered my Ming territory in disguise. In order to smooth the gap in strength between the two sides. ”

"How is this possible? Can they just change the strength of our enemies? ”

"Naturally, the strength of the army cannot be changed, but they can remove such an important general as Hu Zongbing through assassination, so that in the case of the dragons without a leader, once my Datong really encounters a surprise attack by the Tartars, it will inevitably be a big chaos, and it is not impossible for Datong to lose because of this." Finally, Lu Zhen revealed the truth and purpose behind all this!
