Chapter 369: Golden Bait Fishing
After receiving Dong Tianxing's urgent letter, Li Jiangyao immediately found Yutuoluo, the intelligence leader of the Zhenjiang Army, and discussed with him how to provide support.
After several years of careful construction and tempering, the current Zhenjiang Army Intelligence Department has developed from a spy network that could only inquire about news to one of the top professional intelligence organizations in the world.
The official name of the Intelligence Department is the third banner directly under the Zhenjiang Army.
The first banner directly under it is the commander's personal army, that is, the ghost-faced white-robed army. They were responsible for safeguarding Li Jiangyao's security and playing a decisive surprise role at critical moments in important battles.
Directly under the second banner, also known as the Zhenjiang Military Government Yamen. This is an organization similar to the General Staff Headquarters, which undertakes tasks such as strategic planning, campaign staff officers, soldier training, and supply coordination, and is under the direct leadership of Xie Tanzhi, the chief secretary, and supervised by Deputy Commander Xu Youchang.
As the third banner directly under the intelligence department, it is only responsible for protecting Li Jiangyao in the capital.
Yudra is the chief of the Intelligence Department, and has nine commanders under his command.
Among the nine commanders, there are a total of five intelligence captains, who are in charge of Turkic intelligence, Western Xinjiang vassal intelligence, Shengtang intelligence, Persian intelligence, and commercial intelligence.
Secondly, there are three lieutenants in charge of operations, including internal anti-rape operations, external assault operations, and security operations.
The last lieutenant is in charge of the confidential information of the entire intelligence department, and is also responsible for the research and development of equipment and the training of new personnel.
As for how many secret agents, undercover agents and assassins there are in the Intelligence Department of the Zhenjiang Army, there have always been different opinions and confusion. Some guesses are two or three thousand, and some suspect one or two thousand, but no one can really say it clearly and clearly.
People only know that the tentacles of the Third Banner stretched as far east as Jiangnan Lingnan, and to the west as far as the Turkic Flame Maple Forest City and the Persian Black Castle.
Even, even the emperor Li Bing, the khan Ashina Zhijin and the Persian emperor Gelug III all have the eyes of the intelligence department around them.
Of course, this is just a rumor, and most of the protectors Li Jiangyao never admit it.
In the face of Dong Tianxing and Zhou Xing's request for help, Yudra seemed full of confidence, and he happily said that he could provide a full range of services in terms of intelligence, raids, response, and security in accordance with the requirements of the other party.
In other words, the assassination of Ge Shuxuan was covered by the Intelligence Department of the Zhenjiang Army.
Li Jiangyao smiled: "Then who is in charge of command?" ”
"Humble advice, Remu Kiz." Yudra replied calmly: "He is a lieutenant who is specifically responsible for assault operations, and he has strong martial arts and rich experience. Coincidentally, Remu Kiz also has a quarter of Turkic ancestry, and both in appearance and language, can mix with the eyes and ears of the enemy. ”
Li Jiangyao nodded, and was about to agree, when he suddenly heard a voice outside the door: "I don't think it's good." ”
Yudra was slightly stunned at first, and then hurriedly bowed to the door and saluted: "Humble to see Madame, Miss Lian." ”
Li Jiangyao smiled and said, "Ning Han, didn't you two go to the hospital?" When did you come back? ”
Xiahou Ninghan and Lian Ji walked into the house together, first returned the salute to Yudra, and then replied with a smile: "Back to the capital, Effantia sent the medicine two days early, and now all the military medical halls have prepared the needs of the plan, so we will come back early to return to the mission." ”
When Li Jiangyao heard her say this, he also deliberately put up his shelf, nodded and said, "Well, the errand is well done, and the handsome man has his own reward." ”
Xiahou Ninghan smiled and said mischievously: "Don't reward the concubine, you have to participate in the action." ”
"What? Did you hear it all? Li Jiangyao said curiously.
Lian Ji on the side smiled: "We didn't eavesdrop." It's just that the two of you are talking too loudly, and Sister Xiahou and I are both masters, so we can hear it clearly from afar. ”
Then, she turned to Yudra and said, "My lord, you know, when it comes to assassination and assassination skills, there are few in the Intelligence Department who can compare to me, how about it, let me go with me this time." ”
Yudra smiled faintly: "Miss Lian, your skills are very strong, and we all know it very well in our hearts. But...... Going deep into the Turkic enemy camp and assassinating Ge Shuxuan is too dangerous, so it's better to just let the Intelligence Department go. ”
Xiahou said coldly: "Lord Yudra, I have fought with Brother Shuxuan before, I know his details, and I was the first to discover the secret of the soul sand, so it should be up to me to take action." ”
Yudra didn't dare to directly disobey Mrs. Daduhu, so she couldn't help but show a look of embarrassment and looked at Li Jiangyao.
Li Jiangyao smiled: "This reason alone is not enough. Ning Han, you know, I don't want you to take unnecessary risks. ”
Xiahou Ninghan said solemnly: "Jiang Yao, I understand your intentions. However, Ge Shuxuan was mad and cruel to the people of my Shengtang, and if he got rid of it one day earlier, he would be able to reduce the suffering of some people. In terms of success or failure, I am the best candidate. ”
"And me." Lian Ji said: "At the beginning, I committed an unforgivable crime against Sheng Tang, and now I have the opportunity to make amends, which can be regarded as atonement for my sins." ”
How could Li Jiangyao let his beloved wife go to the tiger's den in Longtan, so no matter what Xiahou Ninghan said, he always refused to agree. Xiahou Ninghan couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he couldn't persuade him. Of course, she also knew that without Li Jiangyao's consent, first, the Intelligence Department would never dare to come forward to cooperate, and second, she could not be as willful as she was when she was alone before, and just say goodbye casually.
After thinking for a moment, Xiahou Ninghan proposed a compromise solution:
Lure Brother Shuxuan out and kill him.
If Ge Shuxuan left the heavily fortified area of the Turks, the risk of assassination would be greatly reduced, and it would be easy for him and Lian Ji to get involved.
Yudra was curious when he heard this: "How do you lure him out?" ”
"If you attack the enemy, you will be saved," Xiahou Ninghan said: "As long as you find something that Ge Shuxuan can't refuse, and use it as bait, you can catch this big fish." In addition, we placed the hunting site close to the Turks to dispel the opponent's precautions and concerns to the greatest extent. ”
Li Jiangyao pondered for a moment and nodded: "Well, this idea is very good. Luring people out of the nest will inevitably increase the success rate a lot. But what about the specific solution? ”
Xiahou Ninghan smiled: "You promise me first, let me participate in the action, and then I will tell you." ”
Li Jiangyao smiled helplessly: "I'm really afraid of you." Well, as long as it's not under the actual control of the Turks, I agree with you guys to participate. ”
Xiahou Ninghan clapped his hands happily, and then said: "Ge Shuxuan is a poison master and a miracle doctor, and the things he cares about most are nothing more than two things, the world's strange poison and the world's holy medicine, we can start from this aspect." ”
She paused and said with a smile: "According to legend, there is a kind of golden snow lotus growing on the top of the cliff of the Tianshan Mountains in Western Xinjiang, which has the miraculous effect of resurrecting the dead, and it is extremely rare. If we can let out the news that Jin Xuelian has appeared in the Yongzhou area, I think Ge Shuxuan must be tempted to search for it in person. ”
Hearing this, Yudra bowed slightly: "Madam is right, Jin Xuelian can indeed hang the lives of dying people, which is no different from resurrecting the dead." Back then, the Shenhua family had preserved a plant, which was very precious. It is no exaggeration to say that all the doctors in the world hope to get this holy medicine at any cost. ”
Lian Ji smiled: "As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves." As long as Ge Shuxuan is worried about Jin Xuelian, it will be a matter of time before he enters the set. ”
"Is there a way to get the word out?" Li Jiangyao asked Yudra: "It has to be the kind of silent and natural dispersion." ”
Yudra said confidently: "Don't worry, as long as the story is made up, the lowly guarantee can send the news to Ge Shuxuan's ears, and make him itch and want to stop all day long." ”
Li Jiangyao smiled and said, "I believe in the ability of your intelligence department. What about the location? Where is it located in Yongzhou? ”
Yudra thought for a moment and replied, "I think it's in Yongchang County." Although it was close to the battle zone between the two armies, it was still under the control of the Turks, and although the garrison was not too large, it was enough to make Geshuxuan let his guard down. ”
"Well, Yongchang County can," Xiahou Ninghan also nodded: "It is not only on the edge of the main battlefield, but also belongs to the territory of the Turks, even if Ge Shuxuan is careful, he will not be too scared to come." What's more, Jin Xuelian can be described as an antidote artifact for a master of poisoning, and he doesn't have to worry about not taking the bait. ”
Li Jiangyao bowed slightly: "If that's the case, then let's decide." The Intelligence Department is responsible for spreading the news of Jin Xuelian's appearance in Yongchang County, and then closely monitor Ge Shuxuan's movements, as soon as he moves, you will immediately set off and infiltrate Yongchang to prepare for an ambush. In addition, another cavalry force of 3,000 men will be dispatched to patrol and cruise in the southwest of Yongchang County, ready to meet you at any time. ”
Xiahou Ninghan and Lianji looked at each other and smiled, happily agreed, and Yudra also bowed his hand and obeyed.
At this time, Xu Youchang happened to walk into the house, and the three of them knew that he must have some important military discussion with Daduhu, so after greeting him, they said goodbye and left together.
Xu Youchang curiously inquired with Li Jiangyao, what Xiahou Ninghan and the others were talking about just now, Li Jiangyao told him about the assassination of Brother Shuxuan, and Xu Youchang couldn't help but sigh after listening:
"Jiang Yao, you really earned money by marrying this daughter-in-law. Hui has a blue heart, strong martial arts, and a heroic spirit that does not lose to men. ”
Li Jiangyao smiled: "Come on, I'm worried here, and you still support the scene for her." To be honest, although out of respect, I can't bear to refuse Ning Han's proposal, but going deep into the enemy camp and assassinating the general is very dangerous, and I really don't want her to go. ”
Xu Youchang nodded in understanding: "I understand your feelings. In this way, you two will close the door when you two turn around, and you can persuade her well, and only let the brother of the Intelligence Department come forward. ”
"I understand Ning Han, I'm afraid I can't persuade it." Li Jiangyao smiled bitterly: "The only thing I can think about now is how to improve the safety of this operation and ensure that she and Lian Ji do not encounter great danger." By the way, did you come to me for something? ”
Xu Youchang responded: "There is something, and it is a big thing. ”
