Nine hundred and ninetieth chapters fire chestnuts
The one who spoke this time was Balong, who frowned and said: "Sacking a city is by no means a trivial matter. No matter how fast we go, it will take at least several days. Besides, once Zhang Jiaquan starts to attack the city, the Dongfang Family's troops stationed in Hengyang may not be able to do it.
Watch.
Besides, the defenses of Qingbo and Baojin are far better than those of Hengyang. The march records of the two cities have always been loyal to the imperial court. At this critical moment, they are unlikely to take it lightly. It is not difficult to defend the city."
Since taking charge of intelligence, Barong has grown a lot, and his vision and knowledge are far better than before. These well-founded remarks made Fang Xiaodie smile with satisfaction.
But Lou Linxuan said: "This is indeed true in common sense, but what if there are internal contacts from Zhang Jiaquan in Qingbo and Baojin cities?"
As soon as these words came out, the other three people were all stunned. It sounded a bit unbelievable at first, but after thinking about it carefully, it is not impossible.
Zhuo Mufeng said: "Even if there are internal agents, as long as the march records in the two cities control the situation, it will still be difficult for Zhang Jiaquan to break out. And by then, the two cities will definitely be under martial law, and the chance of the internal agents tampering is slim."
Lou Linxuan: "This is indeed a problem, but what if the records of the march in the two cities are internal agents? This possibility is extremely low. Lou knows that the two people are absolute royalists on the surface. But everything is possible
In case of accidents, if you want to avoid accidents, you must consider all situations and devise countermeasures. Otherwise, if something is overlooked, it will be too late when the incident occurs."
The three of them looked at each other speechlessly and were stunned for a moment. After that, Zhuo Mufeng sighed and said, "Uncle Lou is very considerate."
This is probably what makes Lou Linxuan different from ordinary people. Every time he thinks about something, he will break out of the inherent framework and will never be affected by prejudice and daily inertia. It is this kind of thinking that makes him act flawlessly and be able to combine everything.
All aspects are taken into consideration.
Such breadth of thinking is truly humbling.
At this moment, Fang Xiaodie said: "We have been talking for a long time about Zhang Jiaquan going south to the sea. Isn't it possible for him to fake a shot and break out from other places?"
Zhuo Mufeng objected without thinking: "It's impossible. The major military governors didn't attack Zhang Jiaquan before, but the time has not come yet. If Zhang Jiaquan stayed in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, there was only one way to die. And besides taking a boat to sea, how could he escape?
Out of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty?"
When Lou Linxuan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something. His expression changed a few times, and he suddenly looked at Barong: "I heard you say that Yingmu members have been found in many places.
Zhang Jiaquan's people disguised themselves as merchants and secretly transported supplies to the South China Sea?"
Barong didn't know why Mr. Lou's reaction was so great. He was a little panicked and nodded subconsciously: "The identities of those merchants are unknown, but I got instructions from Mr. Lou and ordered my men to conduct a strict investigation and found some clues."
Yingmu is the intelligence organization established by Lou Linxuan.
Lou Linxuan said in a deep voice: "If Zhang Jiaquan wants to go to sea, he must need a large ship, otherwise it will not be able to carry so many people and supplies. And the ship should be parked on the coast of the South China Sea. Why haven't they been found yet?"
Balong moved his mouth and said with some hesitation: "Sir, don't be surprised. I have ordered my men to pursue it with all their strength, but it seems that Zhang Jiaquan's people hid the ship too well, so it cannot be found for the time being."
Lou Linxuan: "A few months ago, Lou ordered you to send a large number of people to the end of the road south to search for traces of ships. So far, they can't find any traces? Judging from the territory occupied by Zhang Jiaquan, the places suitable for boarding ships are very limited.
, it is impossible for him to take a long detour and increase the risk drastically."
Seeing that Barong's face was shameless after being scolded, Fang Xiaodie didn't know what to say. Fang Xiaodie on the side was eager to defend, but was stopped by Zhuo Mufeng's eyes.
Zhuo Mufeng smiled and said: "Uncle Lou, we can't blame Balong and Yingmu entirely for this matter. We can only blame Zhang Jiaquan for being too cunning."
"No!" Lou Linxuan raised his hand and said something that made the three of them horrified: "Lou now suspects that there are no large ships on the coast of the South China Sea. We have all been deceived by Zhang Jiaquan!"
Fang Xiaodie exclaimed: "How is it possible? How can we go to sea without a large ship?"
Lou Linxuan's eyes were unpredictable: "The ship does not have to be placed on the coast of the South China Sea. Because the target is too big, no matter how carefully you hide it, it may be discovered and your purpose will be exposed. The Zhang family will not do this. This matter
It was Lou who was negligent. Those ships are most likely stored on an island somewhere."
What does this all mean? Fang Xiaodie was confused: "Sir, what do you mean? It's impossible for Zhang Jiaquan and his army to swim to the island, right?"
Lou Linxuan looked at Barong and said urgently: "Go and check immediately! See if there are many merchant ships gathering on the shore of the South China Sea!"
He had never seen Mr. Lou so stern and anxious. Barong glanced at Zhuo Mufeng, saw him nodding, and hurried down to give instructions.
Fang Xiaodie still didn't understand its meaning.
But Zhuo Mufeng vaguely understood, and his face began to look ugly: "Uncle Lou means that Zhang Jiaquan and his tribe will use merchant ships to go to sea? But the merchant ships are docked in Qingbo and Baojin cities, and Zhang Jiaquan and his people are simply unable to
Use... unless there is indeed an internal agent in those two cities, and an internal agent who can control the overall situation!
In this way, just wait for Zhang Jiaquan to arrive secretly, and then send him out to sea first, and then cooperate with the army internally and externally to catch everyone off guard?"
Ignoring Fang Xiaodie, whose face changed wildly, Lou Linxuan looked at Zhuo Mufeng with admiration, but his tone was extremely solemn: "Now we just need to find out whether there are far more merchant ships docked at the docks in those two cities than in the past.
, the truth will show itself.”
Zhuo Mufeng exhaled forcefully, and a slight chill went down his back. Although the truth has not yet been found out, a deep intuition has already given him the answer.
He had laughed at Zhang Jiaquan before, but now he realized that if Lou Linxuan hadn't been alert enough, he might have been fooled.
And the Dongfang family and the major governors, do they know about it? It would be a big joke if the Zhang family managed to escape from such a desperate situation!
Due to time constraints, Barong issued the highest-level order. All Eagle Eye outposts in various places were in operation. After receiving the white dove from the previous outpost, the latter outpost immediately took down the information and replaced it with another white dove.
Doves fly on their feet.
Normally, many outposts are not used to avoid being discovered. The same white pigeon has to fly farther and longer, so the message transmission speed is naturally much slower.
Just a few days later, the news came back.
Barong rushed into the study with a look of horror on his face, and said anxiously: "Sir, it has been found out that the docks of Qingbo and Baojin cities are full of merchant ships, and they were detained by the marching records of the two cities a few days ago.
, no one can use it. The reason is that Zhang Jiaquan's men are likely to sneak into the city and, as merchants, use merchant ships to escape to sea.
In addition, a member of the Eagle Eyes discovered hundreds of large ships on a small island in the sea nearly a hundred miles away from the Nanhai Pier. There were people closely guarding and monitoring the area. There were also simple wooden houses on the island, which should have been built a long time ago.
of."
brush!
Zhuo Mufeng suddenly stood up from his chair and shouted: "Come to Uncle Lou quickly!"
Barong left the information, turned around and left quickly.
Zhuo Mufeng picked up the information, and his expression became twitching the more he looked at it. Fang Xiaodie behind him had no idea what to say.
When Lou Linxuan walked in, Fang Xiaodie stared at him with a ghostly look, and she even ignored Barong who was following behind her.
Zhuo Mufeng immediately stepped forward, handed over the information, and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Lou really guessed it. If I guessed correctly, the records of the march in the two cities were Zhang Jiaquan's internal agents! I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, in the end
The impossible person betrayed him, Zhang Jiaquan is really shady!"
These words were definitely spoken out of emotion. Anyone would have thought that the Zhang family was all doomed, but who would have thought that the other party had already laid down a backhand that could turn things around, and would catch everyone off guard!
Needless to say, the large ship on the small island in the sea must have been secretly arranged by the two marching officials with the convenience of their power. They only had to wait for Zhang Jiaquan and others to take the merchant ship to the small island, and then change the ships.
Get rid of all pursuers.
How many people can think of such a plan?
Except for Lou Linxuan, I am afraid that few people will consider this matter from the perspective of ships.
It's very simple. It is difficult for Zhang Jiaquan to arrange large ships at the docks of the two cities, so he can only seize the merchant ships. Now that the merchant ships are under control, maybe those Jiedu envoys will get the news and praise the two cities for the beautiful march record! Who?
Do you doubt it?
Thinking of this scene, Zhuo Mufeng's mood became extremely complicated. Just as Lou Linxuan said, that Zhang Jiaquan is really powerful. In terms of means alone, besides Lou Linxuan, who else on our side can match him?
The reason why I was able to control the opponent back then was probably because I had the Demon Emperor Pearl in my hand. But it was really ridiculous that I felt contempt for him because of this.
Who can manage Wei Yu Dao so well and navigate the chaos of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty with ease? How can he be a person like Yi?
After receiving the information and reading it, Lou Linxuan fell into a long silence. There was no excitement on his face. He had obviously expected it.
Such a calm appearance made Zhuo Mufeng and the others even more impressed. At this time, both Barong and Fang Xiaodie were wondering, how could such a terrifying person be hiding in the Sanjiang Alliance before? Isn't it too unreasonable?
While the two of them were thinking wildly, Lou Linxuan gently shook his feather fan and said to Zhuo Mufeng: "Uncle, Lou remembers that you said that you have a capable person under your command who is proficient in the art of Dao Gui?"
Knowing who the other party was referring to, Zhuo Mufeng nodded, but the man in his thirties who looked as old as his fifties appeared in his mind, and his heart ached slightly.
After hearing Barong talk about Hu Lai's current situation last time, Zhuo Mufeng secretly summoned him. After seeing him with his own eyes, he didn't recognize him for a while.
He once asked Hu Lai to live in the City Lord's Mansion, but unfortunately he declined, saying that a carefree life was more suitable for him. After Zhuo Mufeng gave away a four-star medicinal plant, he had no choice but to let him go.
Now when I hear Lou Linxuan mention it, I can't help but feel uncomfortable. Barong and Fang Xiaodie on the side also changed their colors slightly.
Lou Linxuan said: "Originally Lou was still worried about how to open up our situation, but now we have a good opportunity. I can tell Yingmu to immediately find a villain with a similar figure to Zhang Jiaquan, and then let the stranger
Use the knife to turn it into Zhang Jiaquan's appearance."
Hearing this, the three of them were shocked.
Just because they had done similar things before, in order to win Cui Baojian's trust, Zhuo Mufeng used Hu Lai's Dao Gui skills to replace Tao Zang, the helmsman of the Sanjiang Alliance, Sikong Yi. The latter has been transferred several times and is still living in
Hidden Village.
What does Lou Linxuan want to do? Is it possible that he wants to seize chestnuts from the fire and find an opportunity to attack the Zhang family from the encirclement of the Dongfang family and the major military envoys?
