Chapter 417 Lure the enemy 4
Two days later, the rectification had already begun. The entire team, including the National Guardian and the Second Prince himself, disguised themselves as well as more than 200 other Jinyi Guards, headed straight for Taizhou. This time, Zhang Sixi was guarding him, and Zhao Yuan and Cang Wushuang were protecting him as his guards.
As for the route this time, only Zhang Sixi knew. Apart from that, everyone was casually dressed. Even so, the vast team and all of them were blatantly carrying weapons, and most people dared not approach this posture!
The high priest's men did not travel with him at this moment, but waited for the Jinyiwei's men to go out, and the group approached more than fifty people followed him quietly. However, they maintained a distance of at least twenty miles. Since they were riding horses, the distance of more than twenty miles was still very short for them. Once they received news, they would rush over quickly.
On the other hand, the right sect's troops were also in full swing at this moment, but they were also twenty or thirty miles away from the Jinyiwei's troops, but the high priest's troops were on the left and they were on the right. There were more than 200 people in the Jinyiwei's troops, and their current personnel were not enough to deal with them. Therefore, their top priority now is to figure out the route of this pedestrian.
During the day, under the escort of two teams on the left and right, the National Master, the Second Prince and others walked safely for a day without any attack. Of course, they would not rush to the road at night, so they set up camp.
The right sect also survived and found a secluded place. On the one hand, they sent people to stare at the national master and others, and on the other hand, they set up camps.
The national teacher and his group were sleeping in the wild, and the right scholars had to sleep in the wild. At this moment, the bonfire had been lit, and Xiao He and the elders enjoyed a fire alone.
"Why didn't you see Ming Qing?"
The elder suddenly said.
Xiao He was silent for a moment and said, "Ming Qing is dead!"
Speaking of this, Xiao He felt an unusually tingling feeling in his heart. He knew very well why Ming Qing hated the people of the government so much. His parents should have died at the hands of those officials. Therefore, he was more active than anything else for the Zuo Sect who opposed the court. This is also why he knew that he was so angry after he went to see Zhao Yuan.
But the personal anger is due to personal anger. The government killed his parents, but it was not the people who killed him in the Ming Dynasty. He could seek revenge on the government, but he could not expose his anger on those people.
His parents are innocent, but aren’t those people innocent?
When it hurts, Xiao He feels more helpless. Perhaps, this is the so-called fate.
The elder saw Xiao He's face gloomy and asked, "How did he die?"
Xiao He said, "Two days ago, I asked him to follow Yang Kai. Maybe I thought he could find out what news from him. Then I knew that Cang Wushuang was able to find out that Ming Qingshi was very good, but he was still Cang Wushuang's opponent. Finally, he was hit by a slap and came back to report to me before he was angry. This was not a big deal, so my subordinates didn't report it!"
The elder sighed slightly when he heard this and said, "It's a pity that he is still so young!"
Xiao He sighed and said, "There is no way, this is fate, it's not the saying that, life and death have fate, wealth and honor are in heaven. Perhaps this is Ming Qing's fate. Besides, people like us originally lived a life of licking blood on the tip of a knife. Who knows when their life will be gone. Ming Qing is just one step ahead of us."
As he said that, he took a stick to fiddle with the fire, looking at the burning bonfire in front of him, his face was not good!
"Okay, don't think so much!"
The elder comforted him, "Life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in heaven, this is Ming Qing's life. Have a good rest, there is still a long way to go tomorrow."
As he said that, he stood up. He knew very well that Xiao and He Mingqing had a very ordinary relationship. She must be extremely sad about Mingqing's death, so she did not intend to disturb him.
Xiao He is indeed a little distressed now, but the one who feels even more distressed is Ming Qing who dies on himself.
After a while, a man quietly arrived here, found Xiao He, handed a letter, and then left quickly. Xiao He opened the letter and saw that the route was drawn on it, so he immediately found the elder and handed the secret letter over, saying, "Elder, Dongchang has come to the letter, but this road map should only be for the next two days!"
The elder took the secret letter and looked carefully, frowned, and said, "Two days?"
Xiao He said: "If you only know for two days, you will not be able to complete the deployment at all."
The elder nodded and said, "Yes, we don't have enough manpower to attack them now, and we only know that it's only two days away, so we don't have time to arrange it!"
Xiao He said, "Well, what if you ask for help from outside, didn't the elders say that before?"
The elder said: "External assistance? You mean those Japanese."
Xiao He said, "That's right, we are short of manpower, and the high priest's men are not far away. If we attack rashly, we may find a clamp attack!"
The elder nodded and said, "This is true. Although the Japanese have sent people to agree, in just two days, since the Japanese have arrived, they cannot confirm the actions of the National Master and others. A large number of Japanese people sneak in. If they are discovered, they will attract not only the Jinyiwei, but also the army of the imperial court. Maybe we will be implicated!"
As for the route in front of you, the route from the National Master, the Second Prince and the two to Taizhou is obviously a bit circumferential. They try to stay away from the coast as much as possible. In this way, even if they contact the Japanese pirates and go so deep into the inland, those Japanese pirates probably don’t have the courage to do so.
Once they were targeted, their result would be to be encircled and suppressed on the land of the Ming Dynasty. Just like in the capital, as long as they were targeted by the Ming army, they would be completely isolated and helpless. The Ming army could pour in continuously. Don’t say anything, drooling alone could drown them.
Therefore, if the national teacher and others still follow this route, the Japanese would not have come at all.
Xiao He's original purpose was that the national sect could attract the Japanese pirates, determine the ambush location, and then tell Zhao Yuan and others the entire location himself, the ultimate purpose was to capture the elders and the Japanese pirates in one fell swoop.
Now seeing the elders having so many doubts, they knew that they should not be anxious about this matter, so they said: "The subordinates should not be too rash in this regard. After the affairs of the capital, those Japanese people should be more cautious now. They should not do such risky things. If we rashly ask them to cooperate, they will be considered a trap!"
The elder nodded and said, "That's the truth. Forget it. We can only hold our troops for the time being and see what tricks they are going to play! By the way, how did this news leak out?"
Xiao He was shocked and said, "Does the elder think this news is not true?"
The elder said, "It's not that I don't believe it, but I think this matter must be investigated in depth. After all, this Dongchang is also the yamen of the court, so we must be careful!"
Xiao He said, "Then I will investigate the matter immediately. Well, I'll go there in person!"
The elder said, "You go in person?"
Xiao He said, "Yes, Ming Qing is dead. The remaining people here are not as good as mine. Moreover, it is a critical period. I can't believe anyone. It's better to go there in person!"
The elder said: "Don't be in a hurry now. After all, I don't know where the Dongchang people are hiding. When they come to deliver the letter again, you are quietly following you.
Xiaohe nodded.
…………
On the other hand, Zhao Yuan and Zhang Sixi were also sitting together in the Jinyi Guard team. In addition, there was another person, the deputy general beside Zhang Sixi, who was named Wang Sheng.
Wang Sheng is not old, only in his thirties, and is also a capable general around Zhang Sixi. After all, he is the commander, so Zhang Sixi has his own independent tent. Although it is not big, it is enough to accommodate a few people discussing something inside.
"The message has been sent!"
Wang Sheng lowered his voice and said.
Zhao Yuan said: "Although the news has been sent out, will the Right Sect believe it? The marching route should have been very secretive. Will they doubt how Dongchang got the news?"
Zhang Sixi smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this. If the Jinyiwei wants to do something fake, how can he just left sect see the problem? What's more, there is a joint venture between the East Factory this time."
Zhao Yuan thought about it and said that this is the same. It was like the two of them went to collide with another group of people. How could it be so easy to see the problem? If this is true, wouldn’t the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei be in vain?
But he was still a little curious and said, "You have to tell me about this matter, let's not hide it from me!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Yuan looked at Wang Sheng next to him. Although Wang Sheng was Zhang Sixi's confidant, Zhao Yuan still felt that he could not let him know about this matter, or in other words, the fewer people he knew, the better.
Zhang Sixi immediately understood what Zhao Yuan meant and said to Wang Sheng: "Then you go out first and check how the sentry posts are arranged tonight. Those people from Zuo Sect are all masters and are very good at sneak attacks at night!"
Wang Sheng nodded and turned around and left the tent.
After he left, Zhao Yuan continued: "
Just a few days ago, Xiaohe came to find him!"
Zhang Sixi said in surprise: "Xiaohe?"
He was indeed surprised that Xiao He was a small leader from the Zuo Sect. He actually came to find Zhao Yuan, so this matter was not inevitable.
Zhao Yuan said: "It was indeed Xiao He. At first I was also very surprised why he wanted to find me. Later, I figured it out that the people of the Left Sect really wanted to collude with Japanese pirates and assassinate the Second Prince and the National Master. Their purpose was to trigger a war between the two countries. Although Xiao He is now under the leader of the Left Sect, he is also a Ming Dynasty person after all, and his conscience has not been destroyed. Or he felt that when the two countries were at war, the casualties were more common people, and the people in our country were not suffering because of the war. Then he took the initiative to contact me and provide the matter of the Left Sect's plan to collude with Japanese pirates."
Zhang Sixi said: "If Xiaohe really thinks like this, it would be the best. Now I don't know if he thinks like this, or if the Zuo Sect deliberately arranges him to come. In fact, we have not calculated the fact that the Zuo Sect and the Japanese pirates have colluded. Even if he doesn't have to tell us, we can be so cautious."
As a thousand households of the Jinyiwei, Zhang Sixi was relatively cautious in his work, so he did not fully believe in Xiaohe. Zhao Yuan could understand it. In fact, he did not completely believe in Xiaohe.
After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "No matter whether he is or not, we may be able to use him!"
Zhang Sixi said: "Use?"
Zhao Yuan said: "Now Zuo Jiao is actually not far from us. They have obtained information from the Dongchang. If they don't believe it, they may be verified. I see if there is a chance to contact him and see if they have any contact with the Japanese pirates."
Zhang Sixi said: "This is OK!"
Zhao Yuan said: "There is another point. I also want to know how this information was leaked to the Dongchang. It is logical that few people know about this information. The national teacher and the second prince must know it. It is not that easy to reveal the information."
Zhang Sixi said: "The key is Wang Sheng. Wang Sheng's identity is my deputy general, so it is natural for him to know the route. In addition, Wang Sheng has been bribed by Dongchang, so it is not surprising that the news was leaked to Dongchang. The key is that the left sect now knows the information and may not have a way to deal with it. They cannot mobilize Japanese pirates to attack here in such a deep territory. As long as we are not attacked, we will not feel that there is a traitor."
Zhao Yuan understood Zhang Sixi's meaning and said, "As long as we cannot realize that the route has been leaked, we will not know that there is a traitor. The traitor can keep lurking and provide information to the Dongchang continuously. As long as the information provided and the route we took in the end are always there, they will no longer doubt the authenticity of the information. On the one hand, they will trust the Dongchang more, and on the other hand, they are also led by our intelligence. Even if we set up a plan in the end, they will jump without hesitation!"
Zhang Sixi smiled and said, "It is precisely for this reason. In addition to attracting their appetite, we must also make them firmly believe in the information they have collected. In addition, Xiaohe may come to contact you, and may also inquire about it indirectly. What you have to do is to make him believe that the information given to them is completely correct, regardless of whether he wants to help me!"
Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "I understand!"
Zhang Sixi said: "Anyway, you must make good use of Xiao and that person to ensure that our plan is foolproof in the end!"
Zhao Yuan said: "I understand, but there is another thing. Whether it is the information from the Dongchang or what Xiao He said, the general manager of their group is still an elder. I still don't know who the leader is. This is also a big hidden danger!"
