Chapter 306: Infiltrating the Enemy Camp
The barracks tent in the Tianci army "Okay, okay, whatever you want, come and sit down, this king has something to ask you." Shook his head helplessly, since he was crowned king, Liu Tai felt more and more lonely, really a bit of a lonely feeling, everyone he saw, wanted this salute, that salute, which made Liu Tai annoyed.
In ancient times, etiquette was taken very seriously, this is not something that Liu Tai can change, but the accumulation of thousands of years in China, unless it is modern, otherwise the distance between monarchs and ministers is like the distance between heaven and earth.
"Yes, Your Highness." Jiang Qin meticulously gave a military salute and sat down in the position pointed by Liu Tai. Jiang Qin followed Guo Jia behind him, and seeing Jiang Qin's military salute, Guo Jia couldn't help but glance around at everyone, and found that Zhang Fei and other generals were a little uncomfortable, this Jiang Qin really slapped everyone, of course, Zhang Fei and others usually did not practice military salutes, or Liu Tai cultivated them.
In northern Xinjiang, soldiers can not kneel and salute, but must salute, the military salute is very simple, that is, to the superior to make a right hand up salute posture, well, just like the salute of modern soldiers, very ordinary, but it is a military salute prescribed by Liu Tai, very novel, welcomed by most generals and soldiers, after all, it will be uncomfortable to kneel at every turn.
"Gongyi, what is your relationship with Zhou Tai?" After Jiang Qin sat down, Liu Tai asked knowingly, in fact, Liu Tai's question was very simple, that is, he wanted to know the exact relationship with Zhou Tai from Jiang Qin's mouth, after all, Jiang Qin was not an ordinary person, in case he was caught by Zhou Tai, it would be a little unworthy.
Jiang Qin raised his head and looked at Liu Tai, did not speak, his face was a little ugly, although he had long known that he would ask about the relationship with Zhou Tai, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, but Liu Tai asked, Jiang Qin couldn't help but answer, and said in a dull tone: "The last general and Zhou Tai grew up together since childhood, and the relationship is like brothers, but please rest assured, the last general is loyal to His Royal Highness, and will never betray His Royal Highness because of his relationship with Zhou Tai."
"En" Liu Tai nodded slightly, although Jiang Qin's words were very blunt, it can also be seen that Jiang Qin's loyalty to Liu Tai is still there, but not to the extent of serving him to the death.
"Gongyi, this king cherishes Zhou Taiqicai, are you willing to recruit for this king?" Liu Tai didn't like trouble, so he simply smashed Huanglong and made things clear, and before coming, Guo Jia should have expressed his position with Jiang Qin.
"His Royal Highness's order, the last general will not dare to disobey, but please ask His Highness to agree to a condition of the last general." Although Jiang Qin agreed, he did not say that he would immediately go to solicit him, but looked at Liu Tai with both eyes, as if he had some request.
Liu Tai glanced at Guo Jia slightly, and found that Guo Jia also had a blank expression on his face, thinking that Guo Jia didn't know Jiang Qin's request, and in desperation, he asked Jiang Qin: "What does Gongyi want, as long as this king can agree, it is absolutely unambiguous." ”
Jiang Qin nodded, his eyes looked at Liu Tai, and he didn't check that Liu Tai's words were just perfunctory, a flash of gratitude flashed in his eyes, and he arched his hand at Liu Tai and said: "The last general hopes that His Royal Highness can clear Zhou Tai's stigma, keep Zhou Tai's original surname and be hired, and ask His Highness to fulfill it!" ”
"What??" Before Liu Tai could express his position, Guo Jia and Dongfang Jue exclaimed at the same time, not only Guo Jia and the others, but also Zhao Yun and other generals also flashed a look of surprise on their faces, Jiang Qin's request was a bit difficult for a strong man.
As we all know, it is not difficult to discredit, but it is very difficult to whitewash, although Liu Tai is now in power, but he can't say that the white is black, and the black is white, who is Zhou Tai? This is a big man at the head level of the Yangzhou Yellow Turban Army, if he wants to whitewash Zhou Tai, it is as difficult as the sky, even if Liu Tai insists on saying that Zhou Tai is white, someone must believe it.
"Plop"
"The last general knows that this condition is a little difficult, but after all, Zhou Tai is a good brother of the last general from childhood to adulthood, and the last general does not want Zhou Tai to be snubbed and looked down upon by his brothers because of what he has done in the past after surrendering to His Highness, and he also asks His Highness to fulfill it." I saw Jiang Qin kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to Liu Tai and saying, his voice was a little choked, and he looked very anxious.
Jiang Qin is not a fool, he naturally knows the difficulty of whitewashing Zhou Tai, and he can guess that with Zhou Tai's achievements in the Yellow Turban Army now, when he enters the Tianci Army, he will definitely suffer from the white eyes of most people, although it is said that the Tianci Army is the elite of a hundred battles, but since the south, the losses are also very many, and most of the soldiers in the army are trained like brothers, and now the brothers are dead in the hands of the enemy, and the enemy has surrendered, so it will naturally be unpleasant to see.
Jiang Qin understands Zhou Tai's temper, knows that Zhou Tai is not the kind of person who will be willing to be humiliated, if it is not good at that time, Zhou Tai will rebel again, but there is really nowhere to go, as Zhou Tai's best brother, Jiang Qin does not want to see a tragic ending, so he made this request to Liu Tai, perhaps it is also a condition for Jiang Qin himself to sign the deed of sale.
"Hey" closed his eyes, and sighed deeply, Liu Tai was a little helpless, whitewashing Zhou Tai, the difficulty was too great, so big that Liu Tai also felt at a loss.
"Lord, it's not difficult to whitewash Zhou Tai's statement, over the years, hasn't the lord been privately planted in major states and counties, otherwise how could the lord know about the Huangjiao uprising at the first time? In that case, why not give Zhou Tai'an a name? It is said that Zhou Tai was the lord's subordinate general long before he joined the Yellow Turban, and the reason why he became the Yellow Turban general is to be able to send information to the lord at any time, so that not only Zhou Tai's reputation has been fulfilled, but also the lord can get the name of an unknown prophet, why not? Dongfang Jue took a step forward, arched his hand at Liu Tai, and said with a smile.
In fact, Dongfang Jue's method is also a bit damaged, although in this way, Zhou Tai's reputation in the Tianci Army has been preserved, but in the Yellow Turban Army, it will become a thorn in the side of Zhang Jiao and others, and even for a long time in the future, it is difficult to guarantee that he will be assassinated by the Yellow Turban Army, of course, this is also a way to no way.
Liu Tai did not express his opinion, but looked at Jiang Qin, the loopholes of Dongfang Jue's scheme, Dongfang Jue himself should also understand, Liu Tai naturally saw it, it depends on whether Jiang Qin can wake up, if not, this matter will be done for the time being, Liu Tai really doesn't believe that the huge northern Xinjiang can't protect Zhou Tai's safety.
"Hey, okay." After Jiang Qin thought about it for a while, he nodded helplessly, knowing that Dongfang Jue's strategy was the best way to save Zhou Tai's reputation at present, no matter what, it was countless times better than changing his surname.
Not much nonsense, after some discussion with Liu Tai and others, Jiang Qin left the Tianci Army that night and secretly infiltrated the Yellow Turban Army to find Zhou Tai, Zhou Tai's location, Liu Tai naturally handed it over to Jiang Qin, this is not a secret, it is easy to find out.
During this period of time, although Jia Long has repeatedly ordered strict defense, but unfortunately, the Yellow Turban Army is not as good as Jia Long expected, and with Jiang Qin's skills as a water thief, it is easy to cross the moat and steal into the Yellow Turban military camp tent.
Of course, there were a lot of thrilling things that happened in the middle, after all, the Yellow Turban soldiers were not all waste, but fortunately, it took several hours for Jiang Qin to finally get into Zhou Tai's tent.
During this time period, Zhou Tai was not in the tent, Jiang Qin knew that every time at this time of night, Zhou Tai would practice martial arts in an open place, rain or shine.
However, Jiang Qin did not wait long, half an hour later, Zhou Tai, who was covered in sweat, returned to his camp tent not far away, at this time Jiang Qin hid in Zhou Tai's camp tent, behind the soft couch, wearing black clothes, it was difficult for people to notice.
"Whew" A gust of night wind blew, and Zhou Tai walked into the camp tent with a tired face and said to the guards: "Go and prepare a bucket of hot water, and the general will wash it." ”
"No!" Hot water is generally washed by girls, and Zhou Tai, who is long in the south, should like the cold water of the Yangtze River the most, but this is also Zhou Tai's habit, the guards didn't say anything, and hurriedly went down to arrange.
"Come out, old brother, just come in, Lao Tzu smelled the stench on you" Zhou Tai's words were very hurtful, and after hanging the clothes and armor on the shelf, he said in the direction of the soft couch, the fire in the camp was very dark, and Jiang Qin didn't see Zhou Tai speak because of the location, and a look of excitement flashed in his eyes.
"Ahem" coughed awkwardly, Jiang Qin, who was wearing a night suit, stood up and said to Zhou Tai: "You kid's leaky mouth is still so unforgiving, let's say, find me so much"
"Didn't you say it, the smell of my brother's body, you can smell it from ten miles away." Zhou Tai turned his head with a smile, and said with a hint of tears in his eyes, although the words were a little unforgiving, but Zhou Tai's mood with a trace of throbbing could be heard.
"You kid" Jiang Qin was speechless, sat down on Zhou Tai's general's soft couch with a big grin, leaned over and picked up a document on the desk and said: "It's not easy, the little water thief back then is now the general of the Yellow Turban Army." ”
Since Bocai's death, Zhou Tai was named the second general of the Dajin Dynasty by Zhang Jiaojin, although Zhou Tai himself was not very happy, but he could not openly refuse Zhang Jiao's edict, unless Zhou Tai openly rebelled.
"General??" A bitter smile hung on the corner of Zhou Tai's mouth, he sat on the soft couch covered in stinky sweat, squeezed Jiang Qin to the left and said: "Brother, in the past two years, my brother has been looking for you so hard, if I knew that you would say goodbye without saying goodbye, my brother would never vote for the Yellow Sect, and it is my brother's greatest wish to make contributions with my brother." ”
"You, I don't know who angrily told Lao Tzu that he wanted to make a career in the Yellow Sect, don't tell Lao Tzu, you don't know that the Yellow Church rebelled." Jiang Qin smelled the smell of sweat on Zhou Tai's body, couldn't help but wave his hand away, pinched his nose, and said in a strange voice.
"Hehe, doesn't my brother regret it now? However, in the past two years, although he has been a little unsatisfactory in the Yellow Turban Army, he has been living comfortably, how is his brother? Don't tell Tai that my brother is still a water thief? Zhou Tai's eyes were a little playful, looking at Jiang Qin, as if he had guessed something, but he didn't say it explicitly.
"Me? Hehe" Jiang Qin smiled, picked up a wine bottle on the case, took out a small cup, got a cup for himself, and then gave Zhou Tai a cup, and said: "It's not good, a year ago, Brother Wei was still wandering in the north, if someone didn't appreciate it, he would starve to death on the street now." ”
"Starving??" Zhou Tai's expression was a little exaggerated, he picked up his glass of wine, drank it directly, put his left hand on Jiang Qin's arm and said, "With my brother's ability, where in the world can I go?" Don't joke with your brother, tell me why you're here today, my brother is not a fool."
Jiang Qin also drank a cup, listened to Zhou Tai's words, knew that Zhou Tai had understood his intentions, and did not hide it, and said directly to the point: "Youping, I won't hide it from you for my brother, now my brother is the deputy commander of the First Army of the Northern Xinjiang Naval Division, and this time I came to be ordered by His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness values his younger brother's ability, and hopes that his younger brother can abandon the darkness and follow His Royal Highness to make contributions."
Zhou Tai didn't speak directly, but poured himself a glass again, his expression looked very flat, as if he didn't wonder Jiang Qin's words, and said, "Brother, do you know how much favor my brother has received from Brother Jia over the years?" If you depart like this, are you not a believer and a righteous man? ”
Jiang Qin looked at Zhou Tai with a heavy expression, and said, "Youping, don't you know that the Yellow Turban Army is definitely not the opponent of the God King?" If you don't abandon the darkness and turn to the light now, is it possible that you want to bury the traitor with Zhang Jiao? ”
"Funeral??" Zhou Tai looked at Jiang Qin, smiled disdainfully and said, "What is Zhang Jiao, is it worthy of his brother's funeral?" The reason why the younger brother didn't leave was because of Brother Jia, if Brother Jia was willing to leave, the younger brother would go to His Royal Highness the God King without the persuasion of his brother! ”
"This" Jiang Qin opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, Zhou Tai's meaning is obvious, it is not difficult to defect to Liu Tai, but Jia Long must agree, but Jia Long obviously does not enter, if Jia Long is willing to surrender Liu Tai, does he still need Jiang Qin to come as a lobbyist?
"Youping, don't you want to look at your brother's face and persuade Jia Long to defect to the God King? Jia Long has a plan to reach the sky, but he mistakenly threw himself into the thief, as long as Jia Long knows that he has repented, the God King is absolutely happy, and the position given to Jia Long is definitely not low. Jiang Qin persuaded a little bitterly, this is indeed a bit difficult for Jiang Qin, most of the time, Jiang Qin is not smiling.
"Hey" Zhou Tai shook his head helplessly, looked at Jiang Qin, and said: "Brother, it's not that Tai is unwilling to go and say, don't hide it from my brother, in fact, Brother Jia has already had the heart to defect to Shenhou, but because of this identity, he has not been able to achieve his wish, and my brother also knows that today, how many people in the Yellow Turban Army have heavy troops?" And it just so happens that Brother Jia is the most powerful one in the foreign army of the Dajin Dynasty! How many people have their eyes on Brother Jia? As long as Brother Jia makes a slight move, it will be known to everyone, if Brother Jia really defects to the God King, even if the God King agrees, will the court in Luoyang agree? Will Han Tianzi agree? Maybe the god marquis, well, what ability does the god king have to wash away the stigma on Brother Jia and his younger brother? ”
