Chapter 150: Infiltrating the Palace
Seeing Amin in deep thought, Jia Cong's heart suddenly became happy.
I'm afraid that he won't move his mind, as long as he moves his mind, he will leave a seed in his heart, which will slowly take root and sprout and grow into a towering tree.
That's not enough, we need to add another fire.
"In terms of ability, in terms of merit, you don't have to be inferior to anyone, even above them, it stands to reason that you are also qualified to inherit the position of the Great Khan, you now have two paths.
One is to be the Great Khan yourself, the master of the barbarians, and control the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people, and the other is to let others be the Great Khan, live trembling and trembling, and pray like a dog to the master to spare your life. ”
Since ancient times, the change of power has been accompanied by bloody storms.
As the saying goes, once a son of heaven and a courtier, once he ascends to the throne, almost no one who was once a competitor can get a good death.
The reason why Amin's father rebelled against the old slave was just to replace him, but he missed a move and became a prisoner.
Listening to Jia Cong's words, Amin's face became more and more ugly.
I don't want to know it, and I'm scared when I think about it.
What this kid said is really very likely that his final outcome will not be good.
"I'm your captive now, it's probably useless for you to say this to me, what do you want to do?"
"I need an ally in the opposing camp to help me in my time of need, and if you want, I will not only release you, but also help you ascend to the throne of the Great Khan."
"If you want to get the position of the Great Khan, how can it be so easy, as long as the Great Khan reigns for a day, it is impossible, what do you want me to help you do?"
It seems that this Amin is really tempted, a person in a high position, knows the beauty of power, and there is nothing that he does not yearn for greater power.
"There are some things that you can't do in the future, I can help you do it, for example, I can make your Great Khan can't return to Hetuala, remove the biggest stumbling block for you, and give you a chance to compete for the throne.
In the same way, what I am inconvenient for me to do, you need to come forward to do it for me, help me eradicate some of my enemies, or you can send your opponent to my hands and become my military merit, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
Also, we can trade with each other to grow faster, I need some thousand-year-old ginseng, and hundred-year-old ginseng, and I want you to help me collect some. ”
Jia Cong's proposal is still very tempting to Amin.
Looking up at Jia Cong deeply, he nodded and said, "I promise to cooperate with you and be your ally, there is no shortage of hundred-year-old ginseng, I have several plants at home, and I can also help you collect some."
However, thousand-year-old ginseng is too scarce, but it is hard to find, I only know that the Great Khan has two plants in his hands, as for whether he has used them, I don't know, the heads of those big tribes should also have them, but I am not sure. ”
Jia Cong was very satisfied with Amin's response.
Originally, there were jujubes and no jujubes to hit a shot, but I didn't expect to really hit the jujubes.
This Amin is much more useful than Borchi, his status is high enough, and he has a certain right to speak among the barbarians, which can help him get more combat exploits.
With Amin as his ally, the purpose of coming to the army to obtain military merits was basically achieved.
Next, the two of them discussed the follow-up plan with each other, formulated a plan that was mutually agreed, and left a way to get in touch.
Amin led the remnants of his men away and returned to the old slave's camp, falsely claiming to have eliminated the invading Mongol cavalry.
Let Wang Shun and Zhang Hu lead the cavalry team, return to the camp with the booty, and rest for a while to wait for orders.
Let one hundred soldiers return to Quang Ninh with their battle reports and the heads of five hundred barbarian soldiers to repay He Shiyuan.
Jia Cong did not return with everyone, but took Qingwen, Li Biao, Chun Xia, Qiu Dong and others, as well as thirteen special combat team members, a total of twenty people, and rushed in the direction of Hetuala.
······
Amin, who returned to the camp, surprised everyone.
Amin's record is obvious to all, he followed the old slave to fight in the south and the north, and made great achievements, with few defeats.
This time he left with an army of 3,000 and came back with more than 200 people, did he fail?
The old slave was also a little surprised when he saw it, and asked suspiciously, "Amin, what the hell is going on?" Are you also defeated? ”
Amin stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "The last general to meet the Great Khan, the 2,000 Mongolian cavalry, has been completely wiped out by our department, because they have firearms, stubborn resistance, resulting in the loss of their subordinates, and ask the Great Khan for forgiveness." ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, as long as the gang was wiped out, everyone could have no worries.
The old slave nodded expressionlessly, as long as he didn't lose, he needed morale at this time, but the result was too miserable, and he still knew Amin's ability.
"Since you have exterminated the bandits, what is the crime, get up, you have worked hard this time, and when you have prisoners of war, give priority to replenishing your team."
"Thank you for the grace of the Great Han for serving the Great Khan, and then you will die."
The old slave was still very satisfied with Amin's attitude, looked around at everyone, and said: "Now that your worries have been eliminated, you can also fight with peace of mind, and when Horqin's reinforcements arrive, it will be the time for us to launch a general attack."
Dai Shan, today your troops will go out of the camp to fight, and you will be afraid of the Mongols, so that they will be afraid in their hearts, and their morale will drop greatly. ”
"Obey the orders of the Great Khan!"
······
He Shiyuan looked at the battle report in his hand, feeling as if he was in a dream, and couldn't help pinching his thigh, "hiss" It really hurts.
This kid actually really made a meritorious service, a full five hundred barbarian heads, this is not fake.
Moreover, it is a bit unbelievable that a hundred pro-soldiers actually came back intact.
Although the battle report said that an ambush was set up in advance and gunpowder was used, it was also very powerful to be able to get such a record.
Not to mention, this kid really has some skills, and he is a good material for being a soldier.
It's just that he was too bold, so he didn't come back with his own soldiers, only took a few people, and went to Hetuala, and I don't know what this kid wants to do? Let's hope you don't get into trouble!
There are people who have heads to prove that this credit is real, and there is no moisture.
He Shiyuan immediately wrote a good report, one to report to the Liaodong Jiedu envoy, and the other to be directly 600 miles expedited and sent to the capital to report to the Ministry of War.
That's the benefit of someone above, and no one is greedy for their own merits.
At this time, Jia Cong had already entered Hetuala.
In the luxurious carriage, Qingwen was dressed as a barbarian noblewoman, and the others were also dressed as guards and maids, accompanying the car.
This posture is usually avoided by ordinary people, for fear of getting into trouble.
Soon after entering the city, the people from the special combat team came over, and Jia Cong followed them to their place of stay.
Tie Zhu hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Third master, why are you here in person, if something happens, we can't afford it." ”
Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "What can happen, you will be safer with me, what I told you, how is the investigation?" ”
"Back to the third master, we have already investigated the deployment situation of the entire Hetuala, there are 5,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the whole city, and the deployment and patrol personnel everywhere are rotated once every two hours.
The location of Baylor's mansion, we have also investigated clearly, the old slave's palace, we focused on the exploration, the front hall is guarded by 200 guards, I heard that there were 1,000 people in the past, the old slave went out to fight and was withdrawn, and the harem is the old slave's family scroll.
We focused on probing and found that there were several well-guarded palaces, and it was impossible to determine whether they were the old slave's inner vault. ”
Tie Zhu said and handed a defense map to Jia Cong.
Jia Cong unfolded the map, looked at it carefully, and said: "Inform it, we will act tonight, and target the palace of the old slave, where there are two thousand-year-old ginseng, we must find it."
In order to prevent being discovered and causing trouble, first solve the two hundred guards, just use the one step configured by Miss Han, and after solving them, first thoroughly search the palace in front of you. The old slave's family scroll is fascinated, so spare their lives. ”
"Yes, Third Master, my subordinates will arrange for someone to inform them and let them come over to gather at night."
There are only iron pillars in this courtyard, and four or five special operators live here, and everyone else lives scattered in other places, so many people live together that it is easy to arouse suspicion.
Jia Cong took Qingwen, and the two of them went shopping in Hetuala, and finally came to visit, and it would be a pity not to look around.
Seriously, this little broken city really has nothing to see, and it can't be compared with Shenjing City, and it can't even be compared with some ordinary cities.
However, this architectural style is different from that of the mainland, more rugged, bold and atmospheric.
The two of them walked around the shops and tasted the special snacks until the evening, when they returned to their destination.
At the third watch, more than 40 people took advantage of the night to sneak into the old slave's palace.
Iron Pillar led people to kill the guards who were on duty at night and patrolled first.
Then he sneaked into the barracks, blew a step into the house through the crack in the door, and after a few minutes, he entered the house with his mouth and nose covered, and dealt with the sleeping guards.
It took two quarters of an hour to get rid of all the guards, and then the search of one palace after another.
The palace of the old slave is equivalent to the palace of Emperor Longqing, although the scale cannot be compared, but it is not small, and it took more than half an hour to find the inner library.
An emperor's collection is not a small amount, and after everyone entered, they were all stunned.
I saw countless ginseng piled up in the warehouse like this, like a hill, at least two or three thousand catties, Jia Cong picked it up casually and looked at it, these ginseng are at least decades old.
There is also a small pile of deer antler velvet next to it, all of which are the best deer antler velvets screened out, and the old slave enjoys them himself.
Open all the boxes on the ground, most of them are silver, there are a few boxes of gold, and a few boxes are actually Dongzhu, which is a few hundred catties.
There were also some gemstones, and some jewelry, in several boxes.
On a shelf, there were more than a dozen boxes, Jia Cong opened it and saw that all of them were ginseng that was more than 100 years old, the lowest ones were 1200 years old, and some were 7 or 800 years old.
In a box next to it, there were twelve Dongzhu bigger than pigeon eggs, with a round shape and a charming glow, and Jia Cong directly took them into his arms.
On the other side, there were all mink skins, neatly stacked on the side of the wall, like a wall, and I don't know how many.
There are also a few tiger skins and a few bear skins next to them.
These materials are used by the old slave himself and the women and children of the harem, which can be said to be the best.
In addition to these, there are some other materials in the warehouse next to it, and there are indeed a lot of good things.
Jia Cong searched for a long time, but he didn't find a thousand-year-old ginseng, could it be that he was eaten by an old slave, this old guy is really inauthentic.
Jia Cong, who did not give up, took people to the harem to search again, and in the largest palace, he finally found two thousand-year-old ginseng plants, strictly speaking, one and a half plants, and one plant has been used for a small part.
Jia Cong was distressed, so he wrapped it up directly and put it in his arms, if it weren't for these two ginseng plants, Jia Cong really wouldn't have come to this trip.
Anyway, the old slave may not be able to come back, and it is cheaper for others to keep it, so it is better to take it yourself.
Gather the people, find out all the carriages in the palace, and start loading.
First the ginseng, Dongzhu, deer antler, jewelry, etc. were loaded into the cart, and then the boxes of gold were loaded on the cart, and finally mink began to be loaded, a total of twelve carriages were loaded.
Tie Zhu said worriedly: "Third Master, we brought so many things, how can we go back?" I'm afraid you can't even get out of the city, right? It won't be hidden here for long, and you can't be chased all the way. ”
Jia Cong said with a smile: "It's certain to be chased, but it's not a big deal, let everyone change into the clothes of the barbarian guards, and escort the convoy out of the city after dawn, if anyone comes to chase, greet them with grenades." ”
"Yes, third master, my subordinates know, so let's go down and make arrangements."
At this time, the sky was already dark, and the iron pillar made everyone, all of them wear the armor of the palace guards.
Then they asked them to go to the kitchen to find some food, and everyone had a hurried breakfast, and waited for the day to dawn, and then the convoy left the old slave's palace and hurried in the direction of the city gate.
It was so good to wear this dress that the guards at the city gate didn't even ask, and everyone swaggered out of Hetuara and headed north.
It wasn't until noon that the women in the harem woke up, and when they went out, they saw that it was already in the middle of the day, and it was almost time to have lunch.
With a few screams, the harem suddenly became a mess.
"Killed, killed, all the guards were killed."
After a lot of commotion, he settled down and found someone to notify the officials and generals defending the city.
Everyone rushed over to see that except for the guards standing guard and patrolling, everyone else died on the kang and was killed in their sleep.
Then I saw that the door of the warehouse was wide open, and there were not many things left, and those more precious materials were gone.
Then he traced it all the way and found that a convoy had left the city in the morning, and there were palace guards guarding it.
It was obvious that someone had robbed them of the Khan's belongings and left the city in disguise.
This was repaid, and the Great Khan came back and knew about it, and he and the others could bear it, but fortunately, the Great Khan's family was fine.
Knowing that there were only a few dozen people, everyone didn't care, and sent a thousand cavalry to chase them separately.
