In the evening, Xia Yu and his group of more than 100 people rushed back to the camp after a long journey.
As soon as he entered the camp gate, Xia Yu hugged Li Daoxuan and said, "Your Majesty, it's been a hard journey. Go back and rest early."
"Pei Xuan, Du Qiu."
"military adviser."
"You two should go back too."
"promise."
After the arrangements were made, Xia Yu and others left in a hurry.
This is something!
Li Daoxuan was quite clever. He raised his hand and called a soldier over: "Follow the military advisor and see what you are doing. Be smart!"
"Nuo." The soldier left quickly.
Pei Xuan and Du Qiu had a dark look on their faces: Lord County Prince, you sent people to follow our boss, could you back him up a little? It’s very difficult for us to do!
Only then did Li Daoxuan remember that there were these two people beside him, and he laughed dryly: "Um, aren't you afraid that the military advisor will be in trouble and want to help?"
Believe me! Pei and Du were speechless.
"What's your expression?" Li Daoxuan said with a sarcastic look on his face, "I am a noble man, how can I be so delicate?"
He was simply checking to see if there was any fighting going on.
Pei and Du looked at each other. How could they not know what Li Daoxuan was hitting Xiao Jiujiu? They shook their heads helplessly and hurried away.
They are noble people from Tianhuang, so it's okay to violate some taboos, but they don't dare to mess with it blindly.
Xuanjia soldiers station.
Xia Yu arrived in a hurry and found Qin Qiong's tent. Outside the tent, there were two soldiers guarding him. When he saw Xia Yu, he hurriedly saluted: "I have seen military advisors in my humble position."
"Is General Qin here?"
"Yes. General Cheng is here too."
Xia Yu opened the curtain and walked in, only to see Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin gathered in the corner of the tent, whispering something.
"Military advisor." Seeing Xia Yu come in, the two of them stood up quickly.
"No need to be polite." Xia Yu sat down and said directly: "General Qin, you said you suspected that Zheng Jun was working in the camp, do you have any evidence?"
"There is no conclusive evidence, just suspicion."
"That day during the battle with Yang Gongqing, this man let it slip for a moment and seemed to be very familiar with the military advisor. But the military advisor is new, how did they know about it?"
"After I came back, I felt uneasy. I wanted to report to the King of Qin, but I was afraid that I would be suspicious and cause discord in the army."
"So, after thinking about it over and over again, we decided to discuss it with Yao Jin."
"Yao Jin is thinking that the military advisor is very resourceful and may have some ideas. Therefore, I don't dare to neglect, and I will quickly repair the book and send it to you."
Qin Qiong is an honest person, and he can pour beans out of a bamboo tube with ease.
After hearing this, Xia Yu tapped her fingers on the table and said slowly: "General Qin's worries are not unreasonable. I also think that there must be room in the Tang camp."
"That day, I briefly interrogated Zhu Can, and he was indeed very familiar with me."
"Moreover, he also revealed an important piece of information. There is someone in the Zheng army who is responsible for the use of space. It is Wang Shichong's chief adviser Huan Fasi."
"This man is cunning and insidious. He is known as a poisonous person. It is not surprising that he has hidden secrets in our camp."
Hearing this, Qin Qiong perked up and said, "That's great. It turns out that the military advisor also feels the same way. I was worried that I was overthinking it."
"However, if there is really a gap, it must be removed as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
"Yes, military advisor," Cheng Yaojin said worriedly, "If all the movements of our army are discovered by Zheng Jun, it will be very disadvantageous."
"But there are no clues now." Xia Yu had a headache: "Who do you two think is the most suspicious?"
Qin Qiong looked at each other, but they didn't dare to answer.
This question is a serious one. If you guess right, it's good. If you guess wrong, innocent people may be killed, or powerful enemies may be created out of thin air.
"That's all, it's hard to answer, isn't it?" Xia Yu sighed, closed her eyes and pondered, tapping her fingers on the table again.
At this time, his mind began to search frantically.
In order to write his graduation thesis, he consulted millions of words of historical materials, among which there may be valuable clues.
However, the historical data on how both sides used their troops are very detailed, while the espionage war is very sparsely written.
Of course, this is not surprising.
Spy wars originally took place in the dark, and involved countless shady deeds, which are not suitable for recording.
Suddenly, Xia Yu's eyes lit up, and he remembered something.
During the Battle of the Eastern Expedition, Yu Chigong was once arrested by Li Yuanji. The charge seemed to be espionage, and he was almost killed.
However, Li Shimin believed deeply in Yuchi's loyalty and bravery, and overcame all objections, released him, and treated him as before.
So, what was the trigger for Yu Chigong’s arrest?
It’s phase-seeking!
Xia Yu's closed eyes suddenly opened, and her eyes flashed: Yes, during the Battle of the Eastern Expedition, Xun Xiang suddenly rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and defected to Wang Shichong!
However, Xunxiang and Yuchigong were both demoted generals of Liu Wuzhou, and even had a good personal relationship, which led to Yuchigong being almost killed unjustly.
Got you!
Xia Yu smiled, very proudly. She had no choice but to have a golden finger to be awesome. She found the real owner from clues.
More importantly, he clearly remembered that Xun Xiang's defection did not seem to have serious consequences.
Therefore, even though the historical data was briefly mentioned, he actually ignored it.
Cheng Yao, a gold-thief, saw Xia Yu smiling as if he had picked up ten thousand guan, and quickly asked: "The military advisor is so happy, but he has an idea?"
"That's right." Xia Yu said confidently: "What kind of people do you think are the most unstable in a camp and are most easily deceived by outsiders?"
Qin Qiong and Qin Qiong looked at each other and were still thinking about it, but Xia Yu took the initiative to announce the answer: "It's a surrendered general!"
Qin Qiong: "..."
Cheng Yaojin: "..."
Both of them looked strange and embarrassed: Military Advisor, we are also surrendered generals, are you pointing at the monk and scolding the bald man?
Seeing that the two of them looked strange, Xia Yu also reacted.
"Sorry! Sorry!" This guy said with a dry smile: "I'm not talking about the two generals. In fact, there should be a condition added, that is, the generals are demoted, but they are not satisfied."
Qin Qiong and the two men breathed a sigh of relief. It was true that they were demoted generals, but they were still very important in Tang camp.
It's a lot of work, but you put yourself in it, that's not a good example of being taken advantage of!
"If you put it this way," Cheng Yaojin touched his chin with interest: "The scope is much smaller. Although there are great Sui generals in our camp, rebel generals, Xue Ju, Liu Wu, Zhou, etc.
, but those are the ones who are unhappy."
"Tell me about it." Xia Yu became energetic.
Although Xun Xiang was mentioned from historical materials, the records are too vague and no one knows who Xun Xiang's accomplices were.
Even for phase search, he had no evidence, so he couldn't say he was a time traveler.
So, he needs more clues.
"The first one is to find the phase."
"This man was originally a general under Liu Wuzhou, second only to Song Jingang and Yuchi Gong. After his surrender, he has been depressed and frustrated."
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin feels that this person is a little bit like a rat and is too slippery, so he doesn't like him very much."
"Currently, he is serving as a partial general in the rear army, commanding two thousand troops. Compared with Yuchi Laohei's success, it is far behind."
"So, privately, I heard that this person has some complaints."
Xia Yu laughed when he heard this: Two facts prove that Xun Xiang has not escaped. He asked again: "Is there anyone else who is suspicious?"
"Then there is that long live card."
"This man is also a general under Liu Wuzhou. He surrendered to the Tang Dynasty together with Yuchi Laohei and Xun Xiang. This man is cruel and murderous and only seeks profit. His Highness the King of Qin does not like him very much."
"Currently, I am also serving as a partial general in the rear army, commanding two thousand troops, and my life is very unsatisfactory."
Xia Yu's heart moved.
Although he is not sure whether this long live picture is a good one, if he is looking for a prime minister, he will not miss such a natural ally.
"Any more?"
Cheng Yaojin scratched his head: "Xue Ju surrendered to General Ma Jun, who is from the famous Ma family in the northwest. He surrendered to the Tang Dynasty with Lao Zhai, but he couldn't get along well. He only served as a partial general under the former army Lao Luo to unify Qian Qingqi."
"Others-" Cheng Yaojin wanted to say more, but Qin Qiong gave him a look, and the guy immediately realized: "Well, it seems that there are only these few people."
Xia Yu couldn't see Qin Qiong's eyes.
He also understood what it meant.
Being unsatisfactory does not mean that people will definitely rebel against the Tang Dynasty. If you, Lao Cheng, bring out too many people, it is easy to offend them.
It is enough to mention a few of the most suspect ones.
Xia Yu didn't ask any more questions.
In fact, it is enough to confirm that Xun Xiang is the leader. The others behind can pull out the carrots and bring out the mud, and no one can escape.
"How many old troops do these three people have in the army?" Xia Yu asked again after thinking about it for a moment.
"There must be tens of thousands of people." Cheng Yaojin scratched his head.
"Absolutely." Qin Qiong also agreed.
"So many!?" Xia Yu was shocked. This was more than one-sixth of the Tang camp's troops!
"Yes, military advisor," Qin Qiong explained: "In the past, when Yu Chigong wanted to join forces with the Tang Dynasty, there were more than ten thousand people. Xue Ju surrendered thousands of troops."
"These people are elite soldiers who have experienced many battles, so they are all retained. This Eastern Expedition was huge, so most of them joined the expedition."
