Chapter 460 Jim's Information

The battle between the Bossa coalition forces to eliminate the fake reinforcements of the North Road, and the scouts under Malin also saw it with a telescope. Malin did not care about the life and death of the Northern Road Army. Anyway, it was a fake army, and it would be a pity that it was eliminated.

But the problem is that Marin didn't know whether the news of the real reinforcements had been leaked. This made Marin very worried.

In his letter to him, Woolf Esbrand mentioned that the Northern Army was led by a knight named Stenier. This person was one of Woolf Esbrand's confidants, and obviously knew the trends of the real reinforcements.

If this person told Frederick III and Jockim I about the real reinforcements, then whether the reinforcements should be sent out must be considered again.

Once the Bossa coalition learned of the existence of reinforcements, set up a trap early and waited for the reinforcements to jump in, it would be bad. So, Marin decided to find a way to get into the Bossa coalition camp, inquire about the news, and see if the news was leaked.

As for how to send people into the Bossa coalition camp? This is not difficult. Because, as the war progressed, Marin's scouts discovered that some merchants from Hamburg and Lübeck had secretly defected to Frederick III because of their pessimistic attitude towards the war.

As for how to surrender? It was nothing more than secretly sending family members to the Bossa Allied Forces camp to work in the army. At the same time, they expressed their loyalty to Frederick III and Jockim I.

Later, Marin also sent someone to arrest the representatives who went to the army to question him. Then he learned that if the army had a relatively large amount of food and supplies, there might be a possibility of being received by Frederick III and Jockim I.

Of course, people are not stupid and will not give you the chance to assassinate. Anyone who goes to meet Frederick III and Jockim I will have to search all over his body, and no weapons are allowed to come in. Moreover, when meeting, the tent is full of knights. If you want to do it, you have to ask those knights with high-quality martial arts skills to agree or not.

However, what Marin wants to know most now is whether there is any leak of information, rather than assassination of Frederick III and Jockim I.

So Marin selected a spy named Locke, and asked him to pretend to be the son of a wealthy businessman of Lübeck, and asked him to take a lot of supplies to the Bossa coalition camp to work in order to get close to the tent.

As long as you enter the big tent or meet Jim near the big tent, Jim will tell him the specific information through code words and gestures...

Locke set out soon, pretending to be the youngest son of a Lubeck merchant family named Schmolt. Although the Schmoulter family had not yet defected to the Bossa coalition, they had been shaken before and sent someone to write a very ambiguous letter to Frederick III and also gave a box of money.

Of course, this does not mean that the Schmolt family has really joined the Bossa coalition, but it is just the usual two-sided bet characteristics of merchants.

Until now, because the city of Lubeck is unbreakable, the Schmolt family has not decided to really join the Bossa coalition...

After Marin learned the news, he decided to send Locke to the army with a large amount of food and livestock in the name of the Schmolt family to express his attitude of seeking refuge.

In fact, this kind of refuge was just a looted by the Bossa coalition in order to avoid the city being destroyed, and it was not a comprehensive refuge. Even the representative of Locke pretended to be just the youngest son of the head of the Schmolt family, and it was the kind that was not usually popular.

If you surrender in full, it would be different. At this time, the one who came forward should be the heir of the family, which is equivalent to sending the family heir as a proton. Moreover, after surrendering in full, the Schmolt family even had to bet on the future of the family and be responsible for opening the city gate from the city to allow the army to enter the city when siege.

However, as a very wealthy businessman family, the Schmolt family was also a sensible figure, and many people have seen it. Only Morris, the youngest son of the head of the family, is a loner and does not go out often, so it is easier to pretend. As for the eldest son John, someone in the Bossa coalition may know him, so it is difficult to pretend. Therefore, Marin could only ask Locke to pretend to be Morris and go to work hard.

After Locke arrived at the Borza coalition's camp with more than a dozen carts of grain and a large flock of sheep, he was very popular because he brought the most scarce meat animals in the barracks. After all, the 50,000 Borza coalition brought most food for transportation. For the sake of convenience, the meat was very small, with only some bacon and sausages. At this time, the barracks were short of fresh meat. Before, the soldiers of the coalition snatched some cattle and sheep outside the city of Lübeck, but so many Borza coalition people quickly finished eating. Now, Locke brought thousands of sheep with them, and of course, it was mainly popular among the officers. After all, there were many thousands of sheep, but there were more soldiers, and the soldiers were hard to eat. Only the officers were qualified to get some fresh mutton to satisfy their cravings.

In order to commend Locke's contribution and commend the "Schmolt Family", Frederick III and Jockeem I did summon the "Little Master of the Schmolt Family" - Locke in the main tent.

Sitting in the lower head of the tent, Locke looked up and saw Jim standing beside him. In fact, Jim was not qualified to enter the tent. However, Jim used his deception ability to motivate the guard officer and let him in and watch the fun at the gate of the tent. So Locke saw his boss Jim.

After pretending to be grateful and interacting with Frederick III, Locke pretended to be careless and began to fiddle with the wine bowl in his hand. It seemed like he was playing around, but in fact he was passing a secret code to Jim.

This method was naturally taught by Marin. In his previous life, Marin saw people in the Hongmen communicating secret codes on TV by posing tea bowls. So he taught spies some simple ways to communicate with them.

Locke changed the bowl to a few different ways, and it seemed like he was playing, but Jim understood - this was Locke asking what the situation was...

In fact, Jim understood better that Locke wanted to ask if there was any leak in the reinforcements. Jim shook his head secretly at Locke, and then quietly made a gesture - go to the toilet...

After making the gesture, Jim quietly exited the tent and went to the toilet. Then, he squatted down quietly in the toilet, but he did not really pull the rock...

Soon, Locke came over. Seeing Locke coming, Jim quickly lifted his pants, then placed a rag on the edge of the pit, and gave a wink at the other party...

When Locke unbuttoned his pants, he quickly stuffed the rag into his boots as he saw no one on both sides...

Originally, when Locke was going to the bathroom, there were people accompanying him. The main purpose was to monitor his actions to prevent him from running around and spy on military intelligence. If Jim and Locke were squatting there and saying a few words, it might cause suspicion. But Jim was very clever. When Locke came over, he threw down the rag and left, and did not talk to Locke. The soldiers responsible for accompanying Locke to the bathroom naturally did not see any communication between the two. When Locke took off his pants, he took the opportunity to pick up the rag, the soldier responsible for accompanying him did not see it either. Because he did not follow him into the range of the pit, but just watched from a distance. After all, the pit was too smelly...

After the summons, Locke hurriedly left. Frederick III did not keep him. If the eldest son of the Schmolt family came, maybe Frederick III would force him to be the proton and force the Schmolt family to help open the city gate.

However, Frederick III planned to resolve the war in the wild this time, and Locke pretended to be the introverted young son who was not valued by the Schmolt family. So Locke left easily...

After returning to Marin's camp, Locke took out the information. The rag read: "The secret has not been leaked, everything is normal, the enemy is planning to attack the reinforcements of Hamburg."

This was a piece of charred branches that Jim found in the fire, and used the carbon black on it to write down on the rag he picked up. After seeing Locke enter the camp, Jim hid in the camp tent and wrote the information. Then, he found a way to sneak into the edge of the main tent to watch the fun. After confronting Locke with the secret code, he led the other party to the toilet to get the information... Fortunately, the discipline of the Bossa coalition camp was not very strict. If it were the East Friesian military camp, Jim would not be able to walk around at will, and he would not be able to sneak into the edge of the main tent to see Locke...

After seeing the information conveyed by Jim, Marin breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the real reinforcements were not known by the Bossa coalition, otherwise it would be really difficult to fight.
