Chapter 343: Ji Gang's Struggle
Under the city of Zhending, several Yan soldiers are sorting out the items collected from the battlefield on the banks of the Hutuo River, one of the sachets plucked from the southern soldiers has attracted the attention of several people, and a few people tore open the blood-soaked sachets, and there are still strands of women's long hair in them, it seems that this unlucky southern soldier has already made a lifelong agreement with people, and he is afraid that he will get married when he returns after the battle, but he died on the battlefield with bad luck, which made several Yan soldiers scold bad luck, and they thought that the sachet with dense stitches was a purse containing money at first, who knew that it was this useless thing, and immediately threw it on the mud floor.
This scene was clearly seen by Ji Gang, who walked into the barracks, he shook his head, and followed the patrol soldiers in front of him to speed up his pace.
It has been several days since the battle under the city, but Zhu Di did not go straight to Texas as Ping An Guo Ying and they expected at the beginning, probably because he was obsessed with beating Geng Bingwen at the beginning, Zhu Di coveted the Xiongcheng of Zhending, and he wanted to take advantage of the panic of the soldiers and civilians in the city, and the lack of manpower to attack the city, but he attacked for several days in a row, and there was no effect. The two sides were at a stalemate under the city of Zhending, one refused to leave, and the other was not qualified to consider staying, so he could only hold on to it in the city.
This is Zhending not Jinan, in order to prevent this kind of siege situation one day, Ping An Guo Ying does not know how much food he has hoarded in the city, a few days ago, countless refugees fled into the city, and now the people who defend the city are also available, and the Yan army, which has more cavalry and lacks siege equipment, really has nothing to do with Zhending for a while, Zhu Di can only look at the ocean and sigh under the city every day, and secretly regret not slaughtering Ping An Guo Ying and the two on the battlefield, otherwise Zhending is afraid that the city has already surrendered.
I didn't know how long this situation would last, but Ji Gang knew that when he came, Zhu Di... I'm afraid I'm going to change my mind.
It has been half a year since he left Jinling, he has been active on the front line for half a year, and he doesn't know how many times bitter compared to the leisure days in Jinling, every time the news of the death of a spy and the destruction of the intelligence station reaches him, he will wonder if he is the next one, and over time he dreams of going back to Jinling, but the gaze at the foot of Qixia Mountain made him dare not see the chief official again.
Speaking of which, this time is also a bit risky, the chief officer is not just the head of the secret spy department, it took a lot of effort to finally figure out the identity of the head of the secret spy department, but when he wrote down these identities and read them again, despair appeared in his eyes.
The strategists under the command of King Yan and Dao Yan, the generals who led troops into the grassland to confront the imperial army, the chief officer of the secret spy department of the spy yamen, and also handled a lot of government affairs in Beiping at the beginning, and it seems that he can barely be regarded as a senior civil official in Beiping...
How can a person have so many identities? Any identity is enough for him Ji Gang to die hundreds of times, but these identities are all him!
No way! That killing intent did feel it, although he couldn't understand why he wanted to die by himself, but he must not sit still!
Ji Gang, who was walking behind the patrol guard, looked cold, and looked at a group of elite soldiers on horses and a mighty man wearing black armor on a tall horse, and the patrol soldier who led him into the barracks pointed to that side:
"That's the prince."
……
Zhu Di had just left the camp to inspect the Zhending City Wall, and what made him desperate was that Guo Ying'an still did not miss a flaw.
Zhending City is not easy to fight, he has long known it, but after defeating nearly 100,000 troops in the first battle, he still failed to enter Zhending City, which made him a little unbelievable, but he was reluctant to lead his troops south.
After beating Geng Bingwen's old boy down, he wanted to fight Zhending, who knew that he hadn't been able to do it for almost three years, and this time he finally had such an opportunity, no matter how he said it, he had to take down Zhending, so that the entire northern territory would have no worries.
This is a demonic shock.
sighed, Zhu Di also knew that he couldn't be in a hurry, anyway, Sheng Yong's side was no longer in a climate, and the Yan army could afford to delay under Zhending City, and after a while, it was really impossible to get in, and now it was past noon, and he was about to go back to the camp to rest and have lunch, when a figure suddenly came out of the side of the road and grabbed the reins of the war horse under him.
"Bold!"
This is the Yan army camp, and several of Zhu Di's guards around him are also careless, but who would have thought that there would be people in their own camp who would dare to offend the prince? Several people shouted angrily and drew their weapons, only to see that the figure was wearing a scribe's robe, like a scholar, and even Zhu Di squinted his eyes and clenched his waist knife, but the man's next words made Zhu Di and the guards stop their movements together.
I saw that after the scholar grabbed the reins and stopped the war horse from advancing, he immediately knelt down and said in a loud voice: "Ji Gang, the spy of the secret spy department, has seen the prince!" There is a plan for the humble position, which can help the prince to take Texas without blood! ”
Zhu Di was stunned when he heard this, and let go of his waist knife: "Secret Spy Division? Gu Huai's subordinates? Ji Gang... I have some impressions, is it the spy who stayed in Jinling and sent out a lot of information? You're good! ”
Seeing that Zhu Di had actually heard of him, Ji Gang was overjoyed and knocked deeply: "The secret spy department will send military reports every few days, and this time I asked for this errand because I want to meet the prince!" It's really determined that he can't attack it for a long time, if the prince wants to take Texas, he should serve with all his heart! ”
"Tell me about it."
"Yes," Ji Gang took out a secret letter from his arms and handed it to Zhu Di immediately, "The prince will know it at a glance." ”
Zhu Di smiled slightly, took the secret letter, only glanced at it twice, his face became solemn, and after he read it carefully, he hurriedly asked: "Such an urgent military situation, why didn't you send it earlier?" ”
"The lowly position lurked in Xuzhou, and it took a month to find out about it, in order to prevent the news from leaking, I took the secret letter all the way north, just to hand it over to the prince in person!"
Zhu Di also thought that he wanted to be rewarded, so he would make such a move to bypass Gu Huai to deliver the news, and couldn't help frowning slightly: "This matter... If it is true, it is indeed a great achievement, you can rest assured, after checking, your credit will be indispensable! ”
Ji Gang's face was straight: "Lord Wang, before the humble position, he was a student in Linyi, he studied and practiced martial arts since he was a child, he just wanted to make meritorious contributions, and now the prince is difficult to raise troops, Kuang Fu Sheji, and he is willing to follow the prince, Qingjun side, punish the adulterer, before and after the saddle, make suggestions, go into battle to kill the enemy, and ask the prince to accept it!" ”
Zhu Di was a little stunned, and looked at the burly Shandong Confucian who was kneeling: "You... Even if you work in the secret spy department, you have already served me, why are you still... Do you want to go with me? ”
Ji Gang nodded violently, and once again made a generous statement, Zhu Di frowned and thought for a long time before he spoke: "Since you said that you have practiced martial arts since childhood, riding and shooting, and being a spy, it is indeed a bit condescending, but you are a person who cares about you, how can I snatch love with a sword?" You go and ask Gu Huai, if he agrees, there is indeed a shortage of brave men in my army, so you will come to me to be a pawn, how about leading the horse to fall? ”
Ji Gang's desire to climb up, Zhu Di admires it very much, the eldest husband was born in the world, he should be brave and upward, what is wrong? But Ji Gang is Gu Huai's person, and he wants to fight for a future with Gu Huai behind his back, but he does a little poorly, but there is indeed a shortage of scholars in his army, and if the information sent by Ji Gang is true, it is indeed a great achievement, and it is not okay if he is not rewarded, it is better to use the identity of a pawn to let him retreat in difficulty, and then reward him separately.
But when Ji Gang heard this, he was so frightened that he couldn't have imagined that Gu Huai's status was so high, and even Zhu Di, the king of Yan, thought so highly of him! I have done so much and said so much, can I be a pawn, and I have to see if Gu Huai nods?
Starting from the eyes under the mountain of Qixia that day, Ji Gang's character is gone forever on the road of the yin owl, he is now trying to find a way to live for himself, where is he willing to give up easily? He was about to ask for a little more, but saw Zhu Di looking to the side and chuckled: "It's just right, he's here, you can ask him in person." ”
Ji Gang was chilling all over, looking in the direction pointed by Zhu Di's horsewhip, a scholar in a green shirt walked slowly with his hands in his hands, and in a trance, Ji Gang seemed to see the rainy night in Jinling, and this scholar in a green shirt also walked into his life like this.
Gu Huai glanced at Ji Gang expressionlessly, listened to Zhu Di quietly, took the secret letter and read it, and then spoke: "The verification is very fast, it will only take more than ten days to come and go, it is worth betting." ”
Zhu Di nodded: "In this case, I can go to Texas, so as not to worry about this truth all the time." ”
He took a deep look at Ji Gang on the ground: "This person..."
"Since the prince has a heart of love for talents, it is naturally not acceptable to be lowly," Gu Huai smiled lightly, "can be civil and martial, and is indeed unwilling to be just a nameless spy, and if you have a lot of adventure in the army, maybe the prince will have one more fierce general." ”
Zhu Di nodded: "Order, summon the general to discuss the big tent!" ”
He looked at Ji Gang again: "In this case, from now on, you will be a member of my personal guard, let's go!" ”
"Yes!"
Ji Gang, who had been holding his head down under Gu Huai's gaze, agreed, lifted his robe and tucked it into his belt, rolled up his sleeves and turned a scribe's uniform into a short dress, and took the reins of the war horse, he really became a groom, and there was no shame or anger in his expression.
Gu Huai just watched them go away quietly, standing for a long, long...
When Zhu Di and Ji Gang were gone, he turned his head to look at Wei Laosan: "Such important information, he can't suppress it alone, he was in Xuzhou before, so he checked all the spies in Xuzhou." ”
Wei Laosan scratched his head: "My lord, what are you looking for?" ”
"Find out who has reached out in this matter, I don't care if they are brothers and sisters with Ji Gang or are pressed down by Ji Gang with power, as long as they have something to do with this matter..."
Gu Huai's face became gloomy: "None of them will be left." ”
