Chapter 163: Dig deeper

As mentioned last time, Guo Youzhi thinks that these Dongwu young people have good obedience, discipline, and teamwork, and they are not like a plate of scattered people at all.

Hearing this, Liu Hou calmed his face and said solemnly: "You mean ......?"

Before Guo Youzhi could answer, Zhu Bao hurriedly said: "That is to say, the quality of this batch of strong men is very high, it seems that Sun Quan is really afraid of us this time, and he does not dare to perfunctory us, and he has collected the highest quality young and middle-aged people in the country and brought them to us." ”

Liu Hou glared at him, and didn't bother to talk to this second goods, Guo Youzhi also glanced at him, but he couldn't help but speak, and only listened to him: "All kinds of signs indicate that these people may be real soldiers, and they are elite soldiers." ”

Liu Houdao: "I also had some suspicions, but I wasn't sure, so I called you over and wanted to go and see what was going on together." I wonder why you're so sure now? ”

"Wechen wasn't so sure at first, he just made a guess based on what he observed, but after listening to His Majesty's words just now, Wechen was already eighty percent sure that these young men were actually elite soldiers of the Eastern Wu Army."

"Sun Quan's old boy is so willing, and the young and strong in the country are not enough, so he took out the elite in the army and gave it to us." After Zhu Bao said this, he himself was stunned, maybe he himself realized that something was wrong.

Liu Hou and Guo Youzhi ignored him, and Liu Hou said: "It seems that Sun Quan really has a lot of plans."

"Yes, Your Majesty, we must do our best to find out about this matter, otherwise, we will be victimized by it." Guo Youzhi.

Neither of them is a fool, of course they know that Sun Quan stuffed the army over, this matter must not be so simple, only Zhu Bao is stupid, and he doesn't know how powerful he is when someone has already pointed out that these young men are the army.

"Okay, let's go to the Fourth Division to see the recruits recruited from the Eastern Wu Qingzhuang, and see what their origins are." With that, Liu Hou got up and prepared to go to Zhu Bao's Fourth Division to see what was going on. As soon as Zhu Bao saw the emperor get up, he hurriedly got up and prepared to accompany the emperor to inspect his troops.

"Wait, Your Majesty, just leave this matter to Weichen and General Zhu, and there is no need for Your Majesty to go in person." Guo Youzhi.

"It's a big deal, I'd better go and see it myself." Liu Houdao.

"Your Majesty, it's because it's a matter of importance that you can't go. Eighty percent of these people are the Soochow army that is plotting against them, if His Majesty appears in front of them, if they see an opportunity to take advantage of it and break out, then wouldn't it be dangerous? Therefore, the majesty must not go. "Guo Youzhi.

When Liu Hou heard this, too, the people of Eastern Wu were eager to eat their own flesh and drink their own blood, if they went to the scene and had close contact with so many Eastern Wu soldiers, it was difficult to guarantee that no one would take the opportunity to assassinate them.

Even if these people have any plans, but with such a great temptation to assassinate the enemy emperor in front of them, they are likely to seize this opportunity even if they give up their original mission. After all, what task is as important as killing the enemy emperor.

You may be able to resist one or two or even a dozen assassins by yourself, but if you are facing thousands of elite soldiers who are not afraid of death, you can only chant Amitabha.

Liu Hou, who has always been afraid of death, did not need to be persuaded by Guo You, thinking that this trip was dangerous, he immediately agreed not to go. Guo Youzhi breathed a sigh of relief, he was most afraid that the little emperor would be willful and would not listen to persuasion and insist on going, and if something happened then, he would be in trouble. He didn't know that Liu Hougang had been assassinated not long ago, and now he was not much more daring than a mouse.

Guo Youzhi breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhu Bao was not happy, he said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid of a bird, there is Lao Zhu here, I want to see if that rabbit cub dares to move His Majesty Xià A single hair, Lao Zhu split him into eighteen sections with a knife." Don't listen to what Lao Guo said, he is a little white-faced and weak scholar who is as timid as a mouse, and he looks forward to doing things. Your Majesty, you can rest assured, Lao Zhu will definitely be able to protect you. ”

The Emperor's coming to inspect his Fourth Division was a great honor for him and the Fourth Division, and of course he wanted to fight for it as best he could. Originally, the emperor had agreed, but he didn't expect this Guo Youzhi to intervene sideways and mess up his good deeds, so he even hated Guo Youzhi, and he spoke mercilessly, and he was just a brain.

Liu Hou was amused by him, and thought, do you think you are making a fantasy movie now, and you also split people into eighteen sections with one knife. However, Liu Hou is very experienced in dealing with this kind of people, and even the vulture bones can be coaxed properly by him, and Zhu Bao can rarely stop him, so he said to Zhu Bao with a pleasant face:

"Okay, okay, General Zhu, of course I know that you are invincible, and I also know that you have the ability to protect me. However, there is a good saying, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, as a son of heaven, I must not act carelessly, even if there is danger, it must be avoided. Besides, I still have a bunch of things to attend to, and I can't leave for a while.

That's okay, this time I'll let Mr. Guo accompany you to deal with this matter, and I will review a lot of the recitals here first. Rest assured, when you've cleared your troops, I'll take the time to review your troops. As for going to war, I can promise you that I'll let you go to war when you've cleared your troops. ”

As soon as Zhu Bao heard this, the emperor finally agreed to let him go to the battlefield, and as soon as he was happy, he forgot about everything else, and happily returned to his fourth division with Guo Youzhi, who he regarded as an enemy just now, to investigate.

After Guo Youzhi and Zhu Bao arrived at the Fourth Division, they randomly found a few recruits from various battalions among the recruits recruited from the Qingzhuang of Eastern Wu, and openly said that they were transferred to Chengdu on a mission, but in essence, they were found in a secret place to torture them to extract confessions. That way, even if they disappeared in the future, it wouldn't be too noticeable, and even if someone asked about their whereabouts, it would make sense.

Although these people are the elite of the army, they are not the kind of iron-clad superheroes after all, nor are they professional spies who have been trained to resist forced confessions, although there are still one or two tough guys who can't say how to kill them with torture, but most of them still can't withstand the cruel torture of feudal society, and finally confess.

In the end, Guo Youzhi put the confessions of several people into a pair, and it can finally be confirmed that these people were indeed Eastern Wu soldiers, they did not retire first to become commoners, and then they were sent over by the strong men, but were directly pulled from the army to Jingzhou, and more importantly, Shangguan also asked them to pretend to be young and strong, lurking in the baggage team of the Shu army, waiting for the final order at any time before carrying out the task.

As for what the ultimate mission is, these soldiers who were forced to confess said that they did not know. Guo Youzhi was not surprised by this at all, and he also believed that they did not know. Because this kind of ultimate mission must not be known to everyone, it may only be in the hands of a few people, and even only the highest operational commander will know the content of the final mission, and he will only announce it to the operation team members at the moment before the final mission is to be carried out.

This is the most basic principle of secrecy, and this basic and simple principle of secrecy may be found in every army, and the Shu army is no exception. However, even if you can't know the content of the ultimate task from these people, it is not difficult to guess that it is nothing more than giving Shu Jun a knife in the back at a critical time.

Guo Youzhi left the Fourth Division and went to other camps of Eastern Wu Qingzhuang, and continued to adopt the principle of evenly distributed sampling, and sent some people out on the grounds that he still sent them back to Chengdu to help him with his work. With his status in Shu, officials at all levels naturally tried their best to cooperate with such a trivial matter, so he transferred dozens of people back and forth without causing a little wave.

In the same way, these people were secretly tortured to extract confessions, and the results were much the same. Guo Youzhi's so-called evenly distributed sampling is to draw one person out of each battalion-based young man, and the purpose of this is to determine the proportion of these young and strong Wu soldiers.

As a result, except for a few soldiers who were killed, they all confessed, and they turned out to be soldiers of the Eastern Wu Army. In this way, it is almost certain that all of the 50,000 Dongwu young men and women are Dongwu officers and soldiers.

Guo Youzhi was shocked by Sun Quan's generosity, and dared to make such a huge layout, it seems that he does have a lot of plans, and at the same time sighs that the luck of Shu and the little emperor is really good, fortunately these people were dug out in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Sun Quan and Lu Xun never expected that although they tried their best to help the elite of the 50,000 army cover up, and also taught them a lot of knowledge and skills lurking in the enemy army, these people were all veterans who had been trained in the army for many years, and even many of them participated in many battles.

These people naturally exude a fierce momentum, their living habits and gestures still retain the unique temperament of soldiers, and even some people who have been on the battlefield still have a murderous aura. Years of rigorous training and battlefield fighting have made these things have been integrated into their bones, and it is difficult to change them for a while.

Sun Quan and Lu Xun sat high in the court, with little contact with the grassroots soldiers, and they were not aware of these problems at all, but it was these details that they did not notice that exposed the 50,000 lurking Eastern Wu soldiers.

In fact, they were not worried about the problem of these people being recognized, so they took a lot of measures to help these soldiers hide their identities, but they only worked clothes, appearance and makeup, etc., but they did not expect that these people would naturally exude a unique temperament of soldiers, and these things are difficult to hide.

Guo Youzhi only secretly interrogated some Dongwu Qingzhuang by transferring people to go out of the country, but he never dared to look for the supreme commander who was hidden in Dongwu Qingzhuang, and even officers at all levels did not look for it.

Because he knew that if he did this, it would definitely arouse the vigilance of these Eastern Wu soldiers and their command system, and when the time came, they would find that they had been exposed, and it would not be good to take risks and launch the plan in advance.
