Chapter 089 MeLetter
The elite soldiers of the Haw Par Battalion hijacked a carrier pigeon in Jiangcheng during the day and forwarded it to Bao Hairong, the deputy commander of the Haw Par Battalion.
The secret letter with the know-how is really difficult to decipher, and the soldier who intercepted the letter said that the letter came from outside the Jiangcheng garrison camp and was shot down by the archers when it flew over Jiangcheng, and Bai Hairong speculated that Xu Menglong or the Jiangcheng rebel spies were spreading the news to the yamen of the Liangzhou Prefecture.
Zhao Yunyu sat upright, thought for a long time, and said: "The rebel communication is still a secret letter, we can't know the code name of their internal communication, how is this good?"
Bai Hai Rong Teng's armor is bright, and most of the armor has not left his body recently, haha: " There is also such a code name communication on the battlefield, I have seen it when the old general of Beigong Qing was a partial general, the old general of Beigong Qing was deciphered by intercepted letters, and in turn defeated the enemy, now we can do the same, Lord Zhao, we can consider knocking on the Xu family, I think there is definitely a tunnel dark room underground around the Xu family, just let the strange people of the Imperial City Division sneak into the Xu family, we chisel down the secret road of the Xu family, and the Xu family is in a hurry to communicate, this is far away from the Liangzhou Mansion, and they release the carrier pigeon, it is bound to be in the daytime, we are waiting to rob the next letter again, to knock on the mountain and shock the tigerοΌβ
Pigeon night blindness, although it does not affect its own flight judgment direction, but the carrier pigeon is mostly released in the daytime, the night pigeon will find its own habitat, easy to deviate from the direction, Bai Hairong's plan is to intercept the seal again, even with the chisel through the Xu family's secret road, the Xu family is the top of the Jiangcheng rebel list, can put a long line to catch a big fish to pull out the mountain is what Bai Hairong is most willing to see.
Although Zhao Yunyu didn't understand military affairs, he was smart in the end, pinching the omissions in Bai Hairong's strategy, and said: "General Bai, it's too troublesome for the Imperial City Division to find out about the secret passage of the Xu Mansion, so we might as well send the Imperial City Division directly to listen to the news." β
"This ......" Bai Hairong thought slightly, it was true, but it still needed the Xu family to operate to hook the latter, and the Xu family was down, and it was really not so easy to find a rebel army that was convenient to monitor, not to mention that Bai Hairong also wanted to take advantage of this to make a fortune.
When there was no war, officers could only rely on hard work if they wanted to make military industry, and it was difficult to find a way out after spending their whole lives.
Zhao Yunyu said slowly: "The affairs of the Jiangcheng officers have been investigated and determined, and now eighty percent of the Jiangcheng garrison was changed by Xu Menglong abusing his private power, and most of the rest are low-level officers who are inconvenient to leave, perhaps, General Bai can consider starting from here." β
Bai Hairong thought silently for a long time, but he didn't know what Zhao Yunyu was referring to, so he had to regret and said: "Lord Zhao, please make it clear!"
Zhao Yunyu explained: "Unless you are overkill, make some turmoil, and let them collapse internally, I will not take a penny from this military industry, and I will give it to General Bai." β
After being stunned for a moment, Bai Hairong took the case, thinking that it was really a clever plan, just detain and take care of the remaining officers who were not attached to Xu Menglong, and the officers in Xu Menglong's camp must be panicked, at that time, the tiger and leopard battalion would have no scruples about arresting people, and the rest belonged to the rebels, so that even the tiger and leopard battalion would have to do something left, and the infighting could disturb the rebels.
Such a state of mind is similar to that of the Tubo people, the slightest setback in the battle will shirk responsibility, the internal struggle is often the biggest disease of the ununified Hu Department, the rebels are all interests maintained, Xu Menglong is greedy for money and power, and will recommend help to his subordinates?
Unexpectedly, he still compared Zhao Cheng with a civil official, Bai Hairong hugged his fists and apologized, and regarded Zhao Yunyu as a serious official with poetry and books, it turned out that in Bai Hairong's view, Zhao Yunyu was nothing more than the position of the Northwest dethroned envoy who was asked for by the relationship.
"Lord Zhao is really a strange person, Bai is a narrow person, he has nothing to do, and he deigns to come to the house to get together!"
Zhao Yunyu humbly thanked him, and told Bai Hairong to do things more carefully, and it was best to take the Jiangcheng officers who were loyal to the imperial court into custody overnight, and guard them in a unified manner, and wronged them in exchange for peace afterwards.
Bai Hairong likes military honor, but he also takes it in a good way, Zhao Yunyu said that he doesn't take any credit, Bai Hairong always has to add him the name of giving advice when he reports to the court, and relying on his ability to get credit and promotion can be regarded as a gentleman's way to echo Bai Hairong himself.
After sending Bai Hairong away, Zhao Yunyu was relieved, went back to the house and took off the men's clothes, masks, yellow powder, hair crowns, and shelves to support clothes.
Rui Chu knocked on the door and entered the house, and when he saw Zhao Yunyu's solemn expression, he asked, "What's the matter?" Is the situation in Jiangcheng not optimistic?"
Zhao Yunyu leaned on the edge of the bed, shook his head and smiled: "No, Bai Hairong may want to take on a job, so it is extremely troublesome to think about things, and the court doesn't know the situation here, wouldn't it take advantage of him?"
Rui Chu suddenly realized and said: "Hey, what happened to me at the time, the general was outside, and he was in a peaceful and prosperous world, so he wanted this sesame seed to give him a little credit." β
Zhao Yunyu pursed her lips and ignored Rui Chu's words.
"Don't talk about this, didn't you bring Xie Tu to talk to me?" asked Zhao Yunyu.
Rui Chu said casually: "I'm hurt, I said today that I want to stay at home to recuperate, I saw that my nose was blue and my face was swollen, it seems that I was beaten up, or hit the wall......
Zhao Yunyu couldn't help but worry in his heart, how could Xie Tu be so clever and ghost beat people? Yesterday, I didn't see Xie Tu saying that he was busy with something, and today he was injured and couldn't come, his strange cat, and the people arranged by the purple-robed Taoist to defend himself, Zhao Yunyu really couldn't figure out how to beat people.
"Oh, princess, don't worry when you're old, I'm teasing you, Xie Tu said that he was injured when he hit the railing when he escaped, the bridge of his nose was sore, his head was swollen and bulging, and the rest was fine. Rui Chu saw Zhao Yunyu sad, so he had to explain.
Zhao Yunyu didn't believe it, and asked, "You didn't lie to me?"
Rui Chu raised his three fingers and swore an oath: "If you lie, teach me to be a maid for Master Ma in the future, even if it is Xie Tu's little doll!"
Zhao Yun kicked Rui Chu angrily, don't turn around and blush, simply kicked off her embroidered shoes and shrunk into the quilt to be a turtle, Rui Chu, the dead girl, was simply undisciplined, talking nonsense, without suspicion of being a master and servant.
In the afternoon, Rui Chu settled Zhao Yunyu to take a lunch break, and he also woke up, and when he was bored, he remembered Xie Tu, so he had to go to Ziyu Pavilion to find Xie Tu to play, Zhao Yunyu woke up when Xie Tu was already in her bedroom, and sat at the head of the bed, but once again Rui Chu was harmed.
The Imperial City Division entered the Jiangcheng military camp that night and kidnapped all the people who had been calculated in advance, even the officers who were recuperating at home and taking leave were not missed, but in just one night, Jiangcheng went viral, and dozens of officers were arrested by the mysterious forces regardless of the venue, and Xu Menglong, the Jiangcheng garrison, took the list, low and soft, and sat under the camp tent table in fright.
The branch or official of the rebel army is familiar with it, and all the officers who were lost last night did not participate in his party, not to mention, and even those who took leave to recuperate, this is not counted, the key is that the civil officials of Jiangcheng, even if it is the copying of military accounts, they don't know how to move, so disciplined, Xu Menglong was terrified and thought of the head of the Imperial City Division.
The next day at home, someone was sent to inform him that it was the collapse of the tunnel, and the Xu family's tunnel was only known to him, Xu Gong and Chu Yu, and there was no reason to deliberately destroy it.
When the carrier pigeon was released, Xu Menglong was still worried, seeing that there was no strangeness in the barracks, Xu Menglong felt that the Imperial City Division deliberately dug a pit to bury him.
"Xu garrison, and the state urgent, three days ago, when the imperial lieutenant Beigong Qing was ordered to lead 150,000 Jizhou battalion soldiers and horses to Bingzhou Anji Mansion to exercise the army, but the road was diverted, the soldiers were divided into two roads, and then marched to the narrow road of the salt merchants, personally led 20,000 elite soldiers, and quietly exterminated Queshan, Li Gu gang, Heiyue Mountain, Qicheng cliff and other places of banditry, our resistance suffered heavy losses, but fortunately there are some escapes, the current rudder in the state has been transferred to the border of Dali, the only unfortunate is that Her Royal Highness Princess Changle was captured, imprisoned in the Beigong Qing military camp prison, the day before yesterday transferred to Xiangcheng. β
The messenger hurriedly entered the account, bowed down to report the news, Beigong Qing's military exercise, and also exterminated bandits along the way, Xu Menglong, who listened, frowned, isn't the princess Changle of the previous dynasty one of the leaders of the rebel army now?
The messenger was dismissed, and before Xu Menglong's ass sat firmly, only half an hour, another messenger with an urgent request of a hundred miles came to deliver the message, Xu Menglong signaled the messenger with a black face and said quickly, what kind of news is strange, I have to hear it and connect it.
"General Xu, General Liu Cong came to report that Taiwei Beigong Qing led the troops to suppress the bandits, Princess Changle was captured, and then Princess Changle cut off her arm, and fled with her prison robbery brothers, and now she still safely went to the Western Regions for refuge, and General Xu needs to tell General Wang Ning, and a year later, Liangzhou Qingluozhou will return to Princess Changle. β
Xu Menglong himself is difficult to protect, listening to Liu Cong's clean shirk of the difficulty, he said unhappily: "Liu Cong, he doesn't keep a carrier pigeon? Lao Tzu is now staring at the Northwest Provincial Dethroned Envoy, the Imperial City Division, and the Tiger and Leopard Camp are all looking at Lao Tzu with his grandmother, and Liu Cong's thief is still shirking responsibility, which is really too deceitful!"
Saying that, Xu Menglong flipped the table angrily, and was about to blast the surname out, the messenger seemed to have another hole card, and said with a smile: "General Xu, do you know why Princess Changle was captured by Beigong Qing?"
Xu Menglong glared at the messenger gloomily, thinking to himself about fucking Princess Changle, Beigong Qing's old dog used soldiers to communicate with his gods, in the past, when the dynasty first saw the decline, it was not good now, the twenty-five major armies divided the silk for Beigong Qing, you must know that the old dog was only holding 80,000 elite soldiers, Beigong Qing was cunning and flexible with soldiers, this little messenger really regarded Princess Changle as a celestial, and he could fight Beigong Qing was afraid that the previous dynasty would not destroy the country, Xu Menglong was simply silent, see how this messenger should explain.
The messenger straightened up with a smile, held a hand behind his back, reached the root of the ear and pulled it, and actually ripped off a human skin mask, which was a woman who looked like a fairy, with a peach blossom and jade face, it was Sima Whisper, the princess of Changle in the previous dynasty!
The face is very beautiful, but the complexion is poor, and there is still a red and bright minor wound on the sideburns, it is rumored that Sima is scheming like a ghost, and his martial arts are superb, and he is one of the main figures in the rebels' plans for several years.
"His subordinate Xu Menglong has no eyes, he doesn't know that the princess is here, and he hopes to forgive his sins. β
Xu Menglong knelt on the ground to salute, almost wanted to cry bitterly, Jiangcheng's eventful autumn was piled on his head, how could a messenger or the rebel leader Princess Changle pretend?
Originally, when he learned that Sima Qingyu was captured, Xu Menglong was still calm in his heart, but Sima Qingyu's words were sincerely exposed, and the top priority at the moment was not to deal with the Imperial City Division and the Tiger and Leopard Battalion, but to see how to solve this ancestor is serious.
Sima whispered coldly and threw her right prosthetic arm to the ground, the empty sleeve indicating that she had really broken her arm and fled to Liangzhou, sat down in front of the officer's table, and threw the saber pinned to her waist on the table.
"Bang dang!"
The scabbard smashed on the table, and the table leg immediately snapped, and the solid wood table collapsed.
