Chapter 833: Behind the Scenes (Part I)
Because of the accidental capture of Goguryeo soldiers during the safari, considering that these captives should be sent to Chang'an, Chen Fei divided the team into two groups, one group was himself, led 200 special forces and 50 accompanying guards and troops, and continued to set off to the border.
The other group was Fan Jiang led a hundred special forces to escort the Goguryeo prisoners of war to Fanyang, and found a way to transport the thirty prisoners of war back to Chang'an to be handed over to Li Shimin, and by the way, they completed the task assigned to them by Chen Fei and captured the informant behind the scenes.
Although Fanyang City is the base camp of the Lu family, the city is the city of the Tang Dynasty after all, and even if the Lu family has a big business, it will not be able to occupy the city as the king.
What's more, Li Shimin has long been on guard against the family, and has arranged his own henchmen in the cities where the family is dominant.
Yang Liuping, the general of the Fanyang garrison, was Li Shimin's guard in Fanyang's deterrent family. Coincidentally, he and Fan Jiang are fellow villagers, and the two once enlisted in the army together, and later one stayed in Chang'an and the other guarded Fanyang.
Although the two have not seen each other for many years, the correspondence has never been broken, and the relationship is also excellent, this time Fan Jiang secretly infiltrated Fan Yang, thanks to the help of this fellow.
The so-called fellow saw the fellow countryman, and his eyes were full of tears. The two haven't seen each other for many years, so naturally they have too much to talk about. From the time when they were conscripted into the army to quell the rebellion, Wang Shichong is now a general, commanding the soldiers and horses, and they can't help but sigh with each other, and tell each other about the sadness of these years.
After a few glasses of wine, Fan Jiang also began to talk about business, hoping that Yang Liuping could help and secretly escort the Goguryeo people who were accidentally captured on the road back to Chang'an.
"It's a trivial matter, it's wrapped up in my brother!" Yang Liuping patted his chest and assured that this little thing was completely stress-free.
Subsequently, Fan Jiang told about the arrest of Xi Zuo. Fan Yang's water is very deep, and Fan Jiang can't figure out which ones are from the imperial court and which are from the Lu family, so he can only talk to Yang Liuping, because he can be sure that Yang Liuping is the governor arranged by the imperial court in Fanyang, and he can definitely be trusted.
Sure enough, Yang Liuping did not disappoint Fan Jiang, he said that he would secretly arrange people to assist Fan Jiang, and made a simple analysis of Fan Yang's official faction, so that he could understand the current situation in Fan Yang.
The two chatted secretly until midnight, and in the end, they probably drank too much wine and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Fan Jiang got up early, first selected thirty subordinates, ordered them to take off the Goguryeo people's clothes, and dressed themselves according to their appearance, and then handed over the Goguryeo people to Yang Liuping, asking him to escort these people back to Chang'an, and detain the Goguryeo man who could speak Guanzhong alone, and blackmail him to be a translator.
Under Fan Jiang's coercion and temptation, the Goguryeo man who could speak Guanzhong had to compromise and agree to help Fan Jiang, on the premise that Fan Jiang must promise not to cut his *** soaking wine, and force him to drink it himself.
Having made sufficient preparations, the special forces acted according to the pre-plan. Thirty people disguised themselves as Goguryeo people, followed the captives to the places they agreed and waited for others, and the remaining seventy people under the leadership of Fan Jiang Qiao Zhuang became ordinary people, responsible for surrounding, watching the wind, guarding the guard, and breaking off.
Since the stakes are so high in the arrest and meticulous work, and only success is allowed, no failure is allowed, and no whereabouts can be revealed, even if there is only one opponent, it must be dealt with all the strength of a hundred people.
The place agreed with Hosaku was at a liquor shop in the workshop west of Pham Yang City, and because it was uncertain when the Goguryeo people would arrive, they would wait at the tavern at the end of each day.
Because there are few people drinking in the tavern at this time, it is not easy to attract attention.
The liquor store is located on a remote street in the West Market, because there are no shops outside, and there are few pedestrians walking around, so it is not easy to arrange the seventy people in charge of the perimeter guard.
Fan Jiang had no choice but to arrange for a few scattered people to stay on the street, and the others were all scattered to various intersections or restaurants, pretending to be idle people wandering around. He himself sat in a restaurant opposite the wine shop, and kept a close eye on every move in the wine store from the window on the second floor.
The time was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was still early before the agreed time, so in order not to make people suspicious, they simply acted like a little. Beckoning the owner of the liquor store to serve wine and meat, a group of people served wine and meat, and ate and drank.
This makes the owner of the liquor shop very happy, on an ordinary day, it is good that a small liquor shop in a remote area like him can have a few customers to make a living, where would so many people come to cheer? He was so happy that he almost couldn't even hold the flask.
What made him even happier was that half an hour later, two more guests came.
These two customers were frequent customers of his small wine shop, and they came to his store at this point every day for several days.
And the two of them are dressed richly, they look like the children of a big family, and they are also generous, a pot of wine, a pound of beef, and they throw out a tael of silver without blinking.
Seeing the two of them here, the store naturally treated each other warmly. These two are the gods of wealth in his shop, so naturally they can't be lazy.
After the two entered the door, they kept staring at the thirty people who were eating and drinking, especially noticing that they were dressed in Goguryeo costumes, and the strange gaze in their eyes was even more so that they had been staring at each other almost all the time since they sat down, as if they were confirming something.
The soldier sitting next to the interpreter gave him a secret kick and glanced at his crotch, his eyes full of warning.
The translator suddenly felt a cool crotch, and immediately reacted, deliberately talking loudly to the people around him in Goguryeo.
After sitting in place for a while, one of them, holding a pot of wine, took the lead in walking towards the soldiers, sat down beside the interpreter very well, and said with a smile: "The brothers are from the east?" ”
This is the code word of docking, and the translator answered in a broken Guanzhong dialect: "Yes, come from the easternmost side, come here to visit relatives." ”
"Hehe, you're a foreigner, aren't you? Where are the relatives here? ”
"Relatives are in the wine shop, and when it's time to come, come back."
The two people who entered the door looked at each other and confirmed that it was the person they said was waiting for in front of them, so they approached them even closer and whispered, "A few people who came from afar were not well entertained, please forgive me." ”
The soldier next to the translator continued, "It's okay, I'm afraid you two are the ones who invited us, right?" We have already come, I wonder what the sincerity of the two is? ”
The two looked at each other again, and one of them said strangely: "Is this a Tang person?" Speak a smooth Guanzhong dialect. ”
The soldier smiled very calmly. replied: "A certain father is a businessman, and he has lived in Guanzhong for a period of time, so he can also say a few words in Guanzhong, but it is not easy to say." ”
"Oh, no wonder, hehe, since you have also lived in Guanzhong for a while, you should be a powerful family who knows the Tang Dynasty, right?"
The soldier's eyes flashed, and he nodded: "I heard something, you are from the powerful family?" ”
The man smiled reservedly, "If it weren't for the powerful people of the family, how could you have the ability to send a letter to your palace?" We guarantee a few people in the name of the family behind us, as long as the assassination is successful, we will definitely fully support the Goguryeo royal family, I don't know what a few people think? ”
The soldier glanced back, then turned his head and said, "I wonder which family is behind the brother's platform to support?" You might as well tell so-and-so, and so-and-so can explain to the monarch. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, with a little snort in their pride, and said proudly: "Naturally, it's Fan Yang, the Lu family!" ”
