Chapter 118 When did the Dingxiang army change to spying on intelligence
It has been a month since the military exercises at the school field, and the training of the Dingxiang Army has become increasingly intensive.
The New Year is coming soon, and the capital has become more and more lively. Goods from south to north are being transported to the capital. The four or nine cities are decorated with lights and colorful decorations. Everyone is immersed in the joy of celebrating the New Year.
In the Dingxiang military camp, Su Lu was listening to Li Dazhuang's report.
"On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Battalion A and Battalion C were on duty at the west city gate and met a vendor who looked like a Thule man. However, the vendor was very alert and slipped away before anyone from Battalion C could come up."
"On December 12, Brigade A of Dingwei Battalion B was on duty at the west city gate. They also encountered a vendor who looked like a Thule man. After a chase, he ran away."
Su Lu waved his hand and signaled Li Dazhuang to stop reading. After reading so much, there was not even a single piece of good news.
"It seems that training alone is not enough. The Dingxiang army needs to train a little harder, otherwise it will not work at all. Da Zhuang, I will order you later. The entire Dingxiang army will train more. Even a Thule man cannot be captured.
Come on, how can you make me believe you?"
Da Zhuang was stunned and still wanted to practice!
Da Zhuang became angry after his handsome account. The boys from Camp B really embarrassed him, and so did those from Camp B. A group of people chased one guy and let him run away. It was embarrassing.
Zhao Pu came over in a hurry and bumped into Da Zhuang at the door of the handsome account.
Da Zhuang pushed Zhao Pu away angrily. He and Zhao Pu had two different family backgrounds. He came from a poor family, while Zhao Pu came from a family of generals. They looked down upon each other, so ridicule and ridicule were inevitable in daily life.
"Hey, Lieutenant Zhao is in a hurry to send me off, and I can't even see the road clearly."
Zhao Pu glared at him angrily: "Have you just been used up by the governor? Damn it. Our people from the second guard camp just captured a Thule man. I'll go to the governor to report my merits."
Da Zhuang was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately thought that there was no need to increase the amount of training, and he didn't care about teasing each other with Zhao Pu. He hurriedly opened the curtain of the handsome account.
"Quick, quick, tell the commander. The commander is angry. He hasn't caught even a single Thule man this month. The commander is going to continue to increase the amount of training for us."
Zhao Pu's face darkened. What, you need to add more?
"Commander, Brother Su, we have caught him. Our people from the Second Guard Battalion have caught a Thule spy. We will leave the training and increase in volume to the First Guard Battalion."
Da Zhuang, who was following behind, staggered and glared at Zhao Pu's back angrily, "This grandson is cheating on me again."
It didn't take long for the Thule people to be tied up and put into the handsome account.
The cotton hat is crooked, the skirt of the clothes is unraveled, and the rope used to bind the person is strange. It doesn't look like a person is being tied, but rather like a bundle.
Su Lu asked Zhao Pu: "Ask him, why don't you hide?"
Zhao Pu muttered a few words, but the Tule people looked at him coldly and said nothing.
Su Lu thought for a while, then commanded the forbidden troops and said: "Tie him up, take off his clothes, cover his eyes, get him a piece of ice and put it on his arms."
A group of Imperial Guards happily got things done, and in an instant the Thule man turned into a fool hugging ice with his bare buttocks, and even stepped on a piece of ice under his bare feet.
Without waiting for Su Lu's signal, Zhao Pu continued to ask. The Thule man was obviously frightened, and a little scared. Su Lu's question was not an important one, so he muttered.
Su Lu signaled the Imperial Guards to remove their bare buttocks from the ice, and then continued to ask: "What have they been eating these two days?"
The Thule man answered again, and Su Lu motioned to take off the ice he was holding.
"Where have you been?"
"Why do you always go to Ximen?"
"There are still several city gates, why don't you leave?"
"Can you speak Chinese dialect?"
As Su Lu's questions were answered, the Thule people put on their clothes one by one.
The imperial guards in the camp looked confused. What did the governor mean? He first took off people's clothes, then asked some irrelevant questions, and finally put them back on.
I'm afraid this Governor is ill.
Both the Custodes and the Thule people thought so.
The name of the Thule people was Wusuli Taiji. Thule was attached to Youxiangcha, and he was ordered to follow the great fushi to the capital of the Han Dynasty to assist a big shot in the Han Dynasty.
When Wusuli Taiji was caught during this investigation, he thought he was going to be doomed. He was tied up and brought into the camp. Wusuli Taiji almost thought that these forbidden soldiers had special habits and tied him up as if he was going to do something like that.
Same as son.
However, there is something wrong with the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard. He only asks trivial questions such as what he usually eats and drinks, whether he buys clothes by himself or someone brings them to him, and what kind of wine he likes to drink.
Wusuli Taiji's fear gradually subsided. It felt so good not to hold ice cubes. It's such a cold winter day. Give yourself a big ice lump instead of stimulating yourself with tiger stool pepper water. Wusuli Taiji
I feel like there must be something wrong with the Governor's mind, and he won't even be able to interrogate him.
Zhao Pu was a little surprised. Su Lu asked all these bullshit questions, what to eat and drink, whether he likes drinking, and even gave the Thule man a sip of my wine. This Thule man did not come to be tortured, but
Like to enjoy it.
"Captain, please punish me. If I don't do it, the Thule people will definitely not be willing to confess."
Zhao Pu urged.
Su Lu waved his hand and gave instructions: "Take him down and keep him well fed and well fed. Just don't let him escape."
"Go and call Li Ling. This guy is good at spying on information."
A group of people looked confused as to what was going on. They asked a few questions about what to eat and drink, then gave the Thule people some wine and locked them up.
The governor is really sick, or he is just a loser. His method of selecting Li Ling looks like a loser no matter what.
Hey, the governor who is so good at fighting is so stupid when it comes to interrogation!
After a while, Li Ling arrived and Su Lu gave instructions.
"Li Ling, take your people and go find out for me. Not far from the place where Huadiao wine is sold, there are also small restaurants selling Rouhe, Youzanzi, and Mutton Braised Noodles."
Li Ling went as ordered.
Zhao Pu asked Su Lu in confusion: "Brother Su, my chief governor has captured the Tule people. If you don't interrogate them quickly so that we can find out where they are, we can kill them and make great contributions."
Su Lu walked to the stove and lit it to warm himself. "I have asked Li Ling to find their lair."
Zhao Pu and Li Dazhuang both looked confused. What, those places just now were the home bases of the Thule people.
Su Lu explained: "What they often eat means that they live very close to there. The Thule people like wine and will not be happy without wine. When they come to the prosperous place in the Central Plains, it is impossible to find them without wine.
The place where they often buy wine must not be far from their hometown."
Zhao Pu slapped his thigh: "I'll go look for him too."
He turned around and went out.
Li Dazhuang also patted his thigh excitedly and walked out after Zhao Pu: "I'm going too. This time I don't have to practice any more."
Li Qing came in from outside the camp with several guards and asked the excited Zhao Pu:
"What are you going to do? Li Ling said he was going to spy on information, wouldn't you also go to spy on information?"
Zhao Pu answered excitedly: "The governor has invented a new interrogation method, and I will go and gather information."
Li Qing was dumbfounded. What happened? With the new interrogation method, Dingxiang's army stopped patrolling the city to hunt for thieves and switched to spying on intelligence.
…
In Yumen, Lin Tong looked sad and asked the soldiers beside him.
"How have the movements in Thule been in the past few days? The army assembly will be completed soon. If we can no longer find the direction of the main force in Thule, the army will have to move out."
Joining the Army gave a wry smile: "Commander Lin, the Tule people are too cunning. There are signs of large cavalry activities everywhere. If we attack rashly now, I'm afraid I will fall into an enemy ambush."
Zhang Lu, who joined the army, came in hurriedly: "Shuai Lin, something bad happened. During the relocation process, the camp was attacked by a large group of Thule cavalry. Xiao Shuai's life or death is unknown."
Lin Tong stood up with a crash, a look of fear on his face: "With tens of thousands of troops in camp, how could they be attacked by a small group of Thule people?"
Zhang Lu wiped the sweat from his face: "It's not a small group of Thule people. According to the soldiers who escaped, there are Thule people all over the mountains and plains, numbering no less than ten thousand."
Lin Tong continued to do it in despair, his face was full of disappointment, it was over!
The camp was attacked, and even before the war started, his northward strategy had already been defeated.
