Chapter 571: A Letter from the Spies

"This is the head of the Xianbei leader?"

Above the gate of Dai County, there are several heads hanging, there are many people who come and go, the person who is talking, is dressed as a businessman, with a small convoy, after coming to the gate of Dai County, he specially asked people to stop, after he walked down from the car, he repeatedly looked at the head hanging on the city gate.

Originally, the merchant was shocked, but after asking the pedestrians who came and went, he knew the cause and effect, and couldn't help but sigh: "I just heard that the soldiers and horses of Daixian County defeated the Xianbei besieging the city, so I dared to bring the convoy over, I thought the rumors were false, but I didn't expect that even the Xianbei leader was beheaded!" ”

"Well deserved!"

A sudden scolding erupted from the side, attracting the attention of the merchant, and he looked at the voice, and the person who came into view was an old man of about fifty years old, shirtless, with dark skin, looking up at the disclosure hanging at the city gate, his face full of resentment.

Shang Jia's heart moved, and he stepped forward: "This old man, looking at your appearance, it seems that you have an enmity with this Xianbei person?" ”

"Xianbei'er, ruthless, do all kinds of evil, which of the people of my county does not have enmity with them?" The old man retracted his gaze and said hatefully, "Where are you from this businessman?" Yesterday these Xianbei people were beheaded, and today you are here, I'm afraid you didn't come from the north, right?"

The Shang Jia's face was a little unnatural, but his expression flashed for a moment, and he immediately nodded and said: "My name is Zhao Nan, I came from the southeast, and I should have come over a long time ago, but when I heard that there was a war in the north, I stopped halfway. Otherwise, my truckload of goods will be ruined. ”

"No wonder," the old man nodded, and then gritted his teeth and said: "These brutes were besieging the city before, forcing the poor people over there to come forward to make them a shield, I don't know how many people will suffer!" My eldest nephew is among them, he used to help, but now he has lost an arm, and he doesn't know how to live in the future! But it's not bad compared to those who lost their lives! Don't you think such a beast should be killed? I see this head hanging here, it's all light! It's time for Lingchi! ”

When he spoke, the old man's eyes seemed to be able to breathe fire, and his voice became higher and higher, and the hatred and anger in his heart seemed to be able to condense into substance and erupt!

After hearing this, the businessman Zhao Nan hurriedly appeased a few words, and then saw that the soldiers guarding the city were coming, he hurriedly went over to greet him, and took out a lot of money to make a point, but he didn't expect the two soldiers to wave their hands again and again.

"You usually accept this money, now the city is heavily guarded, there is no room for loss, we took the money, let you in, if something happens, you have to lose your head, you look up at the head on the city gate, do you dare to take it?" Let's take out the paperwork, Taishou has already reported the rumors along the way, you don't know, right? ”

As the soldier's words fell, Zhao Nan nodded and smiled, called someone over, and handed over the paperwork.

The soldier took it and called out to the literate officer.

The official Xu touched it and flipped it, looked at it a few times, then looked at Zhao Nan, nodded and said: "Since there are documents from Fanyang County, there is no problem, but there are many patrols in the city, and you often have to inquire. ”

"Understood! Got it! Zhao Nan said and handed over a few big coins, "A few guards, checking the past, it's also hard, take this back to drink, it's not a respect." ”

Now that the origin is clear, the soldiers and officials are not polite, the officials wiped their clothes with a lot of money, and sighed: "It's really hard for a while, a few days ago, even the city gate was not opened, even now, it will be open for three or two hours a day, if you come later, you won't be able to enter the city." ”

Zhao Nan thanked him repeatedly, and then beckoned the convoy in, and when he said goodbye to a few people, he asked seemingly casually: "Listen to the words of a few, isn't it possible that there has been no convoy coming over these days?" ”

"It's not that there is no fleet, it's less, it's even extinct two days ago, it's like you, watching around, that is, the news of the Xianbei rout has spread, and someone is coming, counting you today, there are only three, I don't know how much less than usual, this is still a lot of convoy of goods are not easy to place, or hold the net worth, otherwise where will anyone come."

Zhao Nan nodded, indicating that he understood, and then took his leave and entered the city.

As soon as he entered the county seat of Dai County, there was a solemn atmosphere on his face, although there were many people walking on the streets along the way, which was much better than a few days ago, but from these people, Zhao Nan did not feel much vitality, and many people were even looking at them with vigilant eyes.

Walking and walking, there was finally a little lively atmosphere in front, Zhao Nanxun looked over with his voice, and entered a tavern, where there were many young men in fancy clothes on the second floor, looking through the window, I saw that they were talking and laughing.

"These are visitors from the south, they often gather here, but they didn't see many smiles a few days ago, but now that the good news comes, they are probably relieved, and the laughter is increasing."

Listening to this voice, Zhao Nan looked over, but it was a man dressed as an errand who was talking, and then walked slowly.

Zhao Nan was also interested, and took out a few big coins and handed them over.

The errand officer took the money and said with a smile: "Brother Tai said, as long as you pay attention to it in the city these days, there won't be too much trouble." ”

"Thank you for the reminder." Zhao Nan arched his hand, sent off the errand officer, and then led the convoy to find an inn to settle down, and when everything was taken care of, he first sat in the lobby for a while.

There were a few diners in the lobby of this inn, but from the slightly depressed expressions of the little second brother and the shopkeeper, it could be seen that this business must not be as good as before.

After sitting and listening for a while, Zhao Nan heard a rough idea-

"Taishou is really a good skill, strategizing, breaking the enemy outside, not only relieving the siege of the city, but also making our Dai County stable, and Yang Junzi, who led the troops, is also a capable person!"

"And those Xianbei people, it's really not a thing, I heard that from the old man to the young child, they don't let go, forcing the siege, killing and wounding heavily, it's just crazy, it's not a pity to die!"

"Xianbei people are cruel, we all know it, but they can also fight, have you ever heard of the tragedy in Guangning County? I was stopped before, but now it is slowly spreading, it was originally said that Xianbei was in the Kou, I was also worried, now there is Taishou in charge, but it is reassuring, Xianbei people have been defeated, and the Huns probably can't please me. ”

……

found that they were all praising Chen Zhi, Yang Song and others, either they were bitter about the evil deeds of Chen Xianbei, and some talked about the Huns, but they were obviously not very worried.

Zhao Nan knew it in his heart, and soon walked up to the second floor, entered his room, and then called a few people, guarded them, and asked a few people to go out to investigate.

At noon, when the inquirer returned, Zhao Nan asked a few words, then took out a pen and paper and wrote a letter.

A quarter of an hour later, he summoned a man into the room, but it was a thin, unremarkable-looking man.

Zhao Nan handed over the letter he had just written, and advised: "Send it to the north quickly, don't delay." ”

The thin man nodded, and with a flick of his hand, the letter was gone, and then he left the room, walked out of the inn, and wandered for a while among the surrounding neighborhoods, as if looking for a shop, or browsing a stall, and wandered around for an afternoon.

When he returned to the inn, the letter had already been sent, and it was passed through layers of transmission, leaving Dai County, all the way north, passing through Yancheng and Jixian, and continuing north.

This communication channel was specially built by Youzhou with a lot of manpower, extremely fast, and very hidden, and it took less than a day to be sent to the Saiwai barracks and fell into the hands of Wang Qian.

As Wang Jun's chief strategist, Wang Jian has been working with other staff members these days to deduce the battle situation, plan specific changes, and at the same time be responsible for coordinating all parties.

However, when Wang rushed to read what was written in the letter, the whole person was stunned.

"Why is this information from Dai County, it is actually such a situation, this is almost the opposite of the letter sent by Wang Quan two hours ago, that letter said that Chen Zhi is currently suffering from internal and external troubles, and it is almost difficult to maintain, so he sent him to the north in person to let Wang Quan help, why in this letter, he broke the Xianbei people again? And beheaded the leader? Where did he get his troops? And how can it be so fast? Which one is right and which one is wrong? Or which side has been deceived by disinformation? ”

Thinking so, his brow furrowed.

"That section of Xianbei has often asked Chen Zhi about it recently, and the general also intends to reveal some of Chen Zhi's information, I don't know if the news in Wang Quan's letter has been said, if it is said, it is finally determined that his words are biased, it is not very good, but this kind of thing, I think the general will not easily disclose it, I should think about it."

Thinking so, Wang Jian did not hand over the letter to Wang Jun immediately, this is because Wang Quan's letter has the signature of Zhonglang General, he has no right to dispose of it, he can only have a general understanding, and he will leave it to Wang Jun for judgment, but the letter he received now is a spy report, this is his Wang Qian's jurisdiction, how to deal with it, naturally he has to consider himself, otherwise he will rush to send it over, in case this letter is false information, then he will be embarrassed.

However, Wang Jian also knew that this matter could not be delayed, so he ordered to go down and let the people below be prepared.

Soon, another piece of information arrived, but it was from Dangcheng County.

Wang Jian was still dealing with official business, and when he knew that this letter was coming, he immediately put down the work at hand, read the letter carefully from beginning to end, and took out the letter from Dai County to compare, and finally sighed.

"Wang Quan was planted this time, and he didn't understand the situation, so he rushed to report back, and I don't know what happened to the general, so I will send the news, it can't be too late, to prevent changes."

Thinking so, he sorted out the two letters, got up and left his camp tent, and walked towards the big tent in the camp. ”
