Chapter 363: Deception
Kumamoto met with Shu Han in the secret room behind the medical hall as usual, and now that the two of them were not as tense when they met as before, Shu Han pretended to seem to have accepted his fate, and was much more polite to Kumamoto, and asked Kumamoto: "Mr. Xiong, what do you want to know about this time?"
Kumamoto is also extremely smart, and he has never revealed that he is a scheming, but he just pretended to be an intelligence officer of Xiajiang City, which made Shu Han feel a little comforted in his heart, and he had long known Shu Han's real name, but he never said it. Although the confirmation of this information this time was of great importance, Kumamoto did not directly ask Shu Han about the situation of those court officials, but asked, "Lord Zhang, what have your intelligence departments been busy with recently?"
Shu Han said: "It's nothing, just to prepare for a small celebration, let's do some peripheral intelligence security work." β
Kumamoto said, "But I've heard that this is not a small celebration, and there should be a lot of big people coming to attend. β
Shu Han said with a smile: "Where are there any big people coming? It's just some small characters, just celebrate with the people." β
Kumamoto remained silent, he believed that what Shu Han said was true, but he didn't know why, so he asked: "Now the whole people are rumoring that some big people are going to participate in the celebration, why does Lord Zhang say that they are all small characters?"
Shu Han said: "I don't know this, this kind of thing should not be something that a lower-level official like me can know." β
Of course, Kumamoto also knew about this situation, so he took a sip of the tea bowl and said, "Lord Zhang, it seems that your Chief He was extremely busy a few days ago, what is he busy with?"
Shu Han seemed to be a little unconvinced and said: "I don't know what point of satisfaction he is with his work, but he actually gives him the right to mobilize some garrison troops." β
Kumamoto didn't know about it at all, but He Fengan and Shu Han also knew that it was impossible to hide this kind of thing for a long time, so this time Shu Han revealed this information in advance, letting Kumamoto and them guess wildly. When Kumamoto heard this, he was somewhat strange, how could an intelligence officer have the power to mobilize some of the garrison troops? This must be a privilege that would only be granted to him temporarily when there was a big operation, but Kumamoto didn't ask much about it, but just asked, "Then what are the recent operations of your special operations team?"
Shu Han said: "It's nothing special, it's just that Lord He told us to be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and everyone should mention the spirit of twelve, saying that it is to guard against the revenge of the stinger." β
Kumamoto knew that there was no other news if he asked more, so he took out a small bag and handed it to Shu Han and said, "Here is Lord Zhang's remuneration and the next three-day pill." β
Shu Han took the bag and asked a little strangely, "Three days, why is there only three days of pills this time?"
Kumamoto smiled and said, "I just hope to see Master Zhang again in three days, nothing else." β
Shu Han's heart moved, but he didn't ask anything, and got up to leave.
Zuo Cang has learned from other channels that many senior officials in the DPRK and China are now living in seclusion and rarely show up. Of course, after the stand-ins of these big men were requisitioned and transferred away by Liao Yuxi and He Fengan in the name of Emperor Zhongzheng, these people didn't dare to go out; and according to the plan, they were supposed to stay at home honestly during this period, and these big men were naturally happy to be idle, so they all ate and drank at home in a regular manner.
Kumamoto truthfully reported the news he got from Shu Han's mouth to Zuo Cang, and Zuo Cang himself was a little confused, and now the news they got obviously pointed to two completely different directions, and it seems that these two intelligence channels are very reliable, and what is even more strange is that these two completely different intelligence sources are actually from the intelligence department of the Great Yan Kingdom, so Zuo Cang also had to think about it carefully.
Listening to He Fengan and the others' room is another line under Zuo Cang's subordinates, and it has nothing to do with Kumamoto, but Zuo Cang is very confident in these two channels, in the past period of time, the information from these two channels can be verified by each other, and it is indeed very valuable, especially from Kumamoto, the source here always seems to be faster, of course, they know that this is because Shu Han is in charge of the operation, and this intelligence operation has always been expensive and fast, so it is not surprising to learn these news in advance.
There have been no mistakes in these two intelligence channels so far, which also makes Zuo Cang feel very pleased. But it's okay if it doesn't go wrong, and when it goes wrong, it happens at the most critical time.
But Kumamoto didn't know that Zuo Cang was able to directly monitor He Feng'an and the others' room, and recently because his intelligence source was quite reliable, he also received a lot of praise from Zuo Cang, and he also knew that his intelligence source was very accurate, so he said: " Sir, I believe that my intelligence sources are reliable enough, although this celebration is a routine matter, most of the members of the Jiangyun City Imperial Court are greedy for life and afraid of death, they must also know that we have to take revenge, and they dare not show up, most of the time, they should just come here with some small characters, or send some stand-ins, and there is no value for us to take action. β
"I have also received accurate information, saying that the situation of this celebration is the same as before, there are many senior officials from the DPRK and China, and you also know the situation of the demon cultivators lurking near here, if the time drags on for a long time, they are no longer suitable for such a task, they must be transferred to the front line, only us are left, and it will be too difficult to plan a major sabotage operation. Of course, Zuo Cang was also very confident in the line that directly monitored He Fengan's room, and he also said his thoughts.
Of course Kumamoto knows about this situation, now that the Demon Cultivator cultivation base has been destroyed, and then it will have to wait until the freshly baked Demon Cultivator come to support them I don't know when, so now it is also for them to hope that they will be able to complete the battle, and wait until the next such opportunity, although they never want to wait for the next opportunity, it will be at least about half a year, if they wait for another half a year, most of these Demon Cultivators will not be able to continue to do latent work, and they will all be transferred to the front line, so Kumamoto is also conflicted all of a sudden, and begins to ponderγ
Zuo Cang said again: "It may be because the big officials in the court of the Great Yan Kingdom are worried about our retaliation, so they deliberately adopted a strategy to hide from the sky and cross the sea. You must know that the loyal emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom still pays great attention to boosting morale and paying attention to face, in this case, I believe that he will not do anything that damages the face of the imperial court, and I believe that he will ask those big officials to participate. β
"Sir, there is some truth in what you said, but it is impossible for this Emperor Zhongzheng to ask too many details, and his execution ability in this regard has never been strong. These senior officials of the DPRK and China will definitely hide from the world and just send their own stand-ins to go. That is not worth acting on for us. Kumamoto disagreed.
Zuo Cang had already had a compromise plan, so he said to Kumamoto: "I have already thought of this, let's first mobilize people to gather near the Jiangshan Guild Hall, and then carefully observe whether these people who come to the podium are stand-ins or themselves." If it's a stand-in, we don't take any action, just retreat quietly, and if we find out that it's me, we'll move in the Jiangshan Hall and give them some color to see. β
"Those stand-ins should be no different from me, how can you tell from the outside?" Kumamoto asked, thinking more.
"If they don't move, it will be difficult to see from the outside, but on that occasion they will definitely come forward to give a speech to boost the morale of these people, and once they start to speak, those stand-ins will naturally be easy to see. Zuocang explained.
When Kumamoto heard him say this, he immediately understood, and hurriedly said, "The chief is really smart, let's arrange it like this." β
Zuo Cang said: "You still have to continue to pay attention to intelligence gathering here, and I will discuss with Ao Zhong now how to take specific actions." β
Kumamoto naturally knew what to do, so he quickly said goodbye and left.
