Chapter 164: Closing the Net

PS: Ask for a monthly pass!

"Already all figured out?"

Liu Bei seemed a little surprised by this, from the time the caravan entered the city until now, it was only more than a month, it was simply a god speed!

"It's all clear." Xu Shu was very sure of this: "My subordinates ordered people to keep an eye on the spies sent by Cao Thief around the clock, and soon found a restaurant named Wan Lixiang in the city, and it seems that all the news will be transmitted through there."

In order to confirm this judgment, Shu ordered Shu Zhi to take two people to investigate, on the surface, there was nothing wrong with this restaurant, but when Shu Zhi excused himself to be in a hurry and broke into the backyard to go to the toilet, he found that there was a secret hidden in the backyard! ”

"Hidden mysteries?" Liu Bei gasped and leaned forward: "Uncle Zhi, what did you find?" ”

"Liba, who works in the backyard, almost all of them are soldiers in the army, if he doesn't pretend to be drunk, it is likely that Uncle Zhi will not be able to come back, and there are a lot of horses in the backyard, these horses are obviously raised according to the standard of war horses, suitable for long-distance running, and have strong durability."

"A soldier in the army" Liu Bei muttered in his mouth, falling into deep thought.

"It's not all." Xu Shu continued: "Shu Zhi also found the few people who followed the caravan into Xiangyang, judging from the style of these people, they should be regarded as the middle and above characters in the entire restaurant. ”

"Characters above the middle level?" Liu Bei deliberately emphasized: "If this is the case, then isn't this restaurant a very important stronghold for the entire Xiangyang spies?" ”

"That's true! According to the recent follow-up investigation, it was found that not only the intelligence of Xiangyang would be collected to this restaurant, but even some towns around Xiangyang, such as Fancheng and Suixian. The information of Xinye and other places will also be summarized in this restaurant. ”

Hiss~~~

Liu Bei couldn't help but gasp, his eyes were deep, although the whole person was still a little calm, but deep in his heart was already surging, this news was really amazing!

Xu Shu explained: "The Shu ordered people to secretly follow everyone who came out of the restaurant. If not, how can you discover such a shocking secret, this restaurant is really not simple! ”

Liu Bei nodded silently and asked, "In addition to this restaurant, are there any other strongholds in the city?" ”

"Yes!" Xu Shu continued: "There is a post house and a freight station in the west of the city, two tea houses in the north of the city, and an ordinary family in the south of the city, which is a food delivery to the restaurant. Chunhyangkak in the east of the city is also a stronghold. ”

Chunxiang Pavilion!

When you hear it, you're a prostitute. However, in the espionage industry, the role of women is very advantageous over that of men, especially in this kind of leisurely and happy place, where men will always leak a few key pieces of information from time to time when they are completely relaxed.

Liu Bei paused, and said in a deep voice: "How many soldiers under our command have gone to this Chunxiang Pavilion?" ”

"This"

Xu Shu's face was a little embarrassed: "Lord, you also know that the soldiers under our command are too messy. From Xuzhou to Jizhou, to Jingzhou and Jiangdong. Some soldiers are in their thirties, but until now they still have not started a family, and even if they do, they are far away from home, so these things are still inevitable. ”

"Hmmm! I know that. Liu Bei was light and calm, and he groaned slightly. waved his hand and said: "Before destroying this Chunxiang Pavilion, order someone to open another one in the city, and everyone's background must be checked clearly, and you must not be mixed with Cao Thief's spies!" ”

"Got it!" Xu Shu agreed.

Liu Bei took a deep breath: "For these strongholds, how is Yuan Zhi going to close the net?" ”

Xu Shu bowed and said, "Prepare to gather troops below." Directly end it all in one pot and never suffer from it! ”

"No!"

Liu Bei waved his hand directly and said: "It is impossible to completely avoid the spies, once they are all directly eliminated, then the Cao thief will inevitably send the spies to Xiangyang again, and at that time, it will not be easy to control it anymore, and if we directly end the pot, then the Cao thief will inevitably be vigilant, and we will not be exposed to our caravan." ”

"Makes sense!" Xu Shu nodded, lowered his head, and said in silence: "Lord!" It's better to do this, let's leave that restaurant behind, and cut the rest of Xu Tu, what if? ”

Liu Bei snorted, and said: "Pick some key positions and knock them out first, such as the Chunxiang Pavilion, and the rest can be cut by Xu Tu." Moreover, for the newly built contact base of Cao Thief, it is necessary to register and make a record, and know it in your heart! ”

"It's nature!" Xu Shu responded: "Since this is the case, then I will start to prepare for it." ”

Liu Bei nodded: "This matter will be handed over to Yuan Zhi, and after it is done, send someone to report to me, or just send a book to the flying pigeon, you don't have to run around." ”

Xu Shu shook his head: "Thank you, lord!" ”

********

Night!

It was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers.

In the big tent, Chen Zhi sat on the top, and his lieutenant stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "General Chen, Mr. Xu asks to see you." ”

Chen Zhi sighed, hurriedly transferred to the account, waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, please." ”

Xu Shu was wearing a mink velvet, walked quickly to the big tent, and said, "Uncle Zhi!" The lord's military order, don't be reckless, when Xu Tu cuts it, tonight we will pull out the post house in the west of the city first, and see how he reacts! ”

Chen Zhi pressed the sword on his waist and said sonorously: "Everything should be obeyed by Mr. ”

Xu Shu took a deep breath: "There is still a moment to come, let's do it at that hour, we must act quickly, and we must not delay and leak the news." ”

Chen Zhi patted his chest and promised: "Sir, don't worry, this little thing will be left to me!" ”

A moment is spent unconsciously, and the time has come!

On both sides of the post house in the west of the city, two teams of people and horses suddenly appeared, each holding torches and blades, bustling.

Chen took the lead and broke straight into the post house, shouting: "According to the military order of Uncle Liu Huang, I have come to arrest the spies, and those who dare to incite will be killed!" ”

Xiao Er, who was on night duty in the post house, saw that the situation was not good, turned around and pulled his legs and rushed to the inner courtyard, shouting as he ran: "Brothers, retreat, the big-eared thief is coming!" ”

Chen Zhi frowned, and gave a look to the guards on the side, who understood and beckoned: "Brothers! Come with me! With that, he led dozens of brothers into the inner courtyard.

This post house is regarded as Xiangyang City, except for Wanli Xiang Restaurant and Chunxiang Pavilion prostitutes. The third largest base outside the hospital, so there are also many people who need to be arrested, and the reason why it was chosen to be carried out late at night is because of the fear of accidentally injuring passing passengers.

The entire arrest process took less than two moments, and a total of more than 20 spies were arrested, more than 30 weapons, seven war horses, and more than 70 letters were seized.

After a night of noise, Xu Shu ordered people to keep a close eye on the situation of the restaurant and other strongholds, just in case, maybe because there was no large-scale destruction, the Xiangyang spies were just silent, and there was no sign of retreat. (To be continued......)
