Chapter Twenty-Eight: An Important Agent

readx;

It rained heavily for five days before it stopped. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The whole grassland is like a piece of swelling bread that absorbs water, and it looks like nothing unusual, but once you touch it, it will seep water, and if you are not careful, you will be in danger of sinking.

"Damn the weather, it's finally raining." Du He stepped on the muddy grass, breathed in the air of the mud after the rain, moved his already lazy muscles and bones left and right, punched, and danced his sword for a while, sweeping away the dull feeling of being trapped in the camp for many days.

put a bowl of porridge in the kitchen, and ate the big cake in front of the **. Seeing that the time was almost up, he rode out of the barracks leisurely and leisurely, came to a hilly place in the north of the barracks, found some wet leaves, poured the oil he brought with him, and lit them with a fire breaker.

The clash between the oil and the wet leaves made an explosion of "let-da-da-da", and black smoke also rose into the sky, which could be seen for miles.

Du He thought about the conspiracy with Li Ji a few nights ago, and a strange smile appeared on his face, even he couldn't imagine that he would make such a bad move. Maybe it's because the situation is pressing, Du He is unwilling to lose his trust in Changle, and he is even more unwilling to be dragged down by the war, so he failed to welcome the birth of the child in person. In order to end the war as soon as possible, we can only do everything we can now.

Du He closed his eyes and meditated, and after about half an hour, the sound of horses' hooves came to his ears. He opened his eyes and looked up, and a dark shadow appeared in his sight, galloping from the north.

"Childe ......" came to ride and dismount, his movements were flexible and neat, he was one of Du He's henchmen, and half of his apprentice Qin Yu.

It's just that the current Qin Yu is dressed in the costume of a grassland person, wearing a fur coat, wearing a thick fur hat, and six thick braids hanging behind him, and his originally fair face is smeared with special pigments that cannot be washed away, showing the unique brown-black color of the grassland people who have been exposed to the wind and sun. If it weren't for the extreme familiarity, it would be difficult to recognize him as Qin Yu.

Du He smiled and praised, "Snow Goose's disguise technique is really breathtaking, you are almost no different from the grassland people now." ”

Qin Yu felt deeply, nodded and said: "After the disguise of the second lady, none of us recognized us as Tang people on the grassland, and the only thing that was lacking was that we couldn't speak Turkic. Fortunately, the Turks have perished, and there are two dialects of Turkic and Chinese popular in the steppe, so you will not go wrong if you are careful. ”

Du He knew that Hou Junji was powerful, and for this battle, he infiltrated all the members of the "Moon Stepping Fragrance" into Xue Yantuo to find out the news. Some of them were in Xue Yantuo's Khan's court, and some were lurking in Xue Yantuo's army, collecting useful and reliable information in various capacities.

Huangfu Haohua is quick and responsible for analyzing intelligence. Qin Yu was nimble, he could avoid all Xue Yantuo's scouts, and was specifically responsible for communicating with Du He and delivering news.

Du He summoned Qin Yu mainly to ask about Hou Junji's news, and by the way, to learn about the distribution of intelligence.

The "moon and fragrance" trained by Du He are not machines, they are all talents with absolute autonomy. They don't need special arrangements, and each time they carry out a mission, they will put themselves in a safe place where they can get information, depending on their strengths. After it was implemented, he was in contact with leaders such as Huangfu Haohua and Ba Yuxing. Huangfu Haohua and Ba Yuxing personally connected their posts to form a temporary intelligence network. They never have any interaction with each other, nor do they have any unnecessary contact.

It's safe, convenient and fast, and it has many benefits.

Du He has put a lot of effort into this special forces that "walk on the moon and stay fragrant", and it is only then that they have trained their current ability.

Facing Du He's first question, Qin Yu gave a regrettable and natural answer.

"Hou Junji was injured by an arrow, and the injury was more serious, but it did not hurt the vital point, it was only a temporary inconvenience, and he needed someone to help him, and there was nothing abnormal." Qin Yu said calmly.

Du He already knew this answer, if Hou Junji was really seriously injured, then he didn't have the ability to command the army a few nights ago, so he slowly retreated. But in my heart, I still hope that Hou Junji can let Xue Rengui's arrow kill.

If he dies, Xue Yantuo will have nothing to fear.

"It's a pity, it's a pity......" Du He shook his head, with a look of regret, this scourge, why didn't he know how to be interesting and die early. After a while, he asked, "How are the others, and what useful news have you got?" ”

Qin Yu nodded and said, "I did get a lot of information, but it was very miscellaneous, and most of it was because of the situation caused by this rain." For example, the lack of barley, the lack of herbs to treat frostbite, the lack of winter fur coats, and so on, did not help the war effort. But there are two things that Brother Huangfu thinks are very important. First, according to reliable information, Xue Yantuo asked for hundreds of thousands of fur coats from Goguryeo. Second, according to the news from Lord Ba Yuxing, Xue Yantuo's army is now quite complaining about Hou Junji, and seems to be very dissatisfied with his existence. ”

Du He pondered for a moment and nodded: "These two pieces of news are indeed very important, on the surface, there is nothing unusual about the hundreds of thousands of fur coats that Xue Yantuo asked for from Goguryeo, but in fact it is not. At the beginning, I captured two guys from Goguryeo in Xue Yantuo, and they revealed that there would be *** inside Goguryeo and needed Xue Yantuo's support. This time, it was not unusual for Goguryeo to sell hundreds of thousands of fur coats to Xue Yantuo. Even if the Liaodong and Changbai Mountains held by Goguryeo are rich in fur, the transactions of hundreds of thousands at one time are too large. It is certain that there must have been a deal between Xue Yantuo and Goguryeo. Ignore him first, Goguryeo jumped off the beam clown, solved Xue Yantuo, and then he was the next. No hurry...... However, the power of these 100,000 leather clothes cannot be ignored. Xue Yantuo's army is now short of winter clothes, and if they are allowed to send these clothes to the front line, it means that there are hundreds of thousands of Xue Yantuo soldiers who can fight against our army in this cold winter. You go back and tell Huangfu Haohua and let him see if there is a way to burn these hundreds of thousands of cotton clothes. When the thing is done, he will be credited with a great achievement. ”

"Yes!" Qin Yu responded.

"But...... It is also necessary to remind Haohua that he cannot be in a hurry, let alone forced. They are short of manpower, and Xue Yantuo must also be very interested in this material. Don't get it done, put yourself on board. Du He knew that everyone in "Walking on the Moon and Leaving Incense" had received the favor of the Du family and himself, and there was no doubt about his loyalty. In the face of his own orders, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, he will not hesitate. He feared the inevitable negative consequences of that loyalty.

Qin Yu once again said he understood.

Du He groaned: "As for Hou Junji's slight remarks, it can be expected that Hou Junji is the first general in the Tang Dynasty, and has made countless contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and his reputation is famous. But all his prestige was for Datang to break down in Datang. In the Tang Dynasty, who doesn't respect his brilliant achievements, but in Xue Yantuo, he is a recruit who has not made an inch, and suddenly became the commander of Xue Yantuo's three armies, and it is natural to be resigned. If he can perform himself well and fight a few beautiful victories for Xue Yantuo, I believe that Xue Yantuo will also obey him. It's just that there were two consecutive battles with our army, and neither of them achieved very good results. General Xue Yantuo, who was already suspicious of him, couldn't have thoughts in his heart. ”

In fact, Hou Junji's two battles were very beautiful, and even Du He was convinced of him.

Although Hou Junji lost the first game, in that case, no one who commanded it would necessarily be better than Hou Junji's command. As for the second one, Duhe had little resistance under his attack, watching as the left flank crippled him and pointed the finger at the Chinese army. If it weren't for Xue Rengui's arrow, the vanguard led by Du He would have had no way to wipe out the whole army.

The mystery of this is difficult for people to perceive unless they have a heart.

Most of Xue Yantuo's generals are accustomed to adopting tactics and tactics of strong attack and hard skills, and there are not many people who can have a deep understanding of the subtle marching formation and the way to defeat the enemy.

They just knew that Hou Junji was defeated in the first battle and also lost the second battle, and they didn't analyze the reasons for this at all.

For the generals who lost two battles and two defeats, they were already dissatisfied, and their current mood is undoubtedly intensified, which can be used very well.

"What position does Ba Yuxing hold in Xue Yantuo's army now?" Du He asked.

"Walking on the moon and leaving incense" is two teams, one can be two, two can be one, can be separated, and can also be combined. Among them, most of the "moon-treading agents" are life spies, they are not good at martial arts, but master a variety of skills, and can make good use of technology to blend into their posts to find out intelligence. "Liuxiang" are mostly strong in martial arts, and they are all warriors who can be ten with one, they can blend into the army, and they can also become guards, but the main task is to carry out a variety of special orders. Just like Du He's request for burning cotton clothes, the executor of this action must be the "Liuxiang" team.

Ba Yuxing's martial arts are the most outstanding in "Walking on the Moon and Leaving Incense", and he was originally the leader responsible for carrying out the mission. However, when he was in Xue Yantuo's Khan Court, he accidentally met his childhood friend.

Ba Yuxing is a mixed Turkic and Han Chinese, and lived on the border of the steppe a long time ago. Because of the war, the Ju clan moved into the vicinity of the Yellow River. Bad luck, the Yellow River overflowed, washing away their tribes. Ba Yuxing's parents died, and he himself let Du Ruhui adopt them, so that they could grow up in the fiefdom. The remaining few people who survived returned to the grassland and merged into Xue Yantuo.

One of them, Bajra, was a neighbor of Ba Yuxing, the kind of guy who grew up wearing a pair of pants. Now he is a commander of Xue Yantuo, a subordinate of a generous confidant. Ba Yuxing also joined Xue Yantuo and became Bajla's general.

Now he is the most important secret agent in Du He's hands, and many things need Ba Yuxing's cooperation in the future.
