Yu Wenxiong sat in the main seat and looked at all the spies who had gathered.
There are now more than twenty spies from the Northern Wei Dynasty hiding in Jixian County.
After Wei Polu went north to Youzhou, Tuoba Shao strengthened his penetration into Jixian County. Because Tuoba Jian came to Jixian and failed to rob and kill Zhao Shan, many people who were originally lurking in Jixian were lost.
Just so, the reason why there are more than twenty people left now is because the spies from the Northern Wei Dynasty added some new ones after Tuoba Jian was captured.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t even be people today.
Yu Wenxiong looked around at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "General Tuoba is tied up outside the city. How many people are guarding him? Are the guards tight? Can we steal General Tuoba quietly through bribery?"
The Northern Wei spy in charge of Jixian County is named Li Gang. He is in his early thirties, looks a bit fat, and has a smooth appearance.
Li Gang was doing business in Ji County and had been lurking.
Tuoba Jian was exposed, and Li Gang did not show up, remaining firmly hidden in the dark.
Li Gang looked serious and spoke respectfully. He saluted and said, "Sir Yuwen, the defense around General Tuoba is very tight. There are about a dozen soldiers guarding him openly, and no less than a hundred people guarding him secretly."
"It would be very difficult to openly rob General Tuoba. It would also be almost impossible to bribe people."
"The only chance is that when General Tuoba goes to the toilet, he will be taken to the woods not far away."
"This is the only chance."
"However, our people cannot get close, and we are not sure when General Tuoba Jian will go to the toilet, so we cannot respond accordingly. General Tuoba Jian is always tied up outside the city and will not move."
"It would be easier if we moved the location, and we could kidnap the prisoners along the way. As it turns out, it's useless to kidnap the prisoners. Even if we kidnap General Tuoba, we can easily be overtaken by Wei Polu."
Li Gang said in a deep voice: "Our strength is limited and it is very difficult to handle."
Yu Wenxiong frowned after hearing this.
The situation is tricky.
Although Yu Wenxiong himself brought the elite of the Yuwen family, he would definitely have to pay a big price to take back Tuoba Jian.
Yu Wenxiong thought for a while and had an idea in his mind, but did not give an answer immediately. He said in a deep voice: "Li Gang, you have been in Jixian for such a long time, do you have any solution?"
Li Gang shook his head and said: "No!"
"waste!"
Yu Wenxiong scolded him coldly and continued to ask: "In that case, do you know Wei Polu's grain depot in the city? How many defenders are there near the grain and grass?"
Li Gang nodded and said: "I know the location, but there are at least several thousand defenders of the grain depot, so they cannot get close."
Yu Wenxiong said: "Since you have no choice, just follow my arrangements."
"Next, there are three things."
"First, find the location of the granary and find an opportunity to set fire to it. Even if there is no chance, you must create an opportunity and create chaos to attract the army in the city to the granary."
"Second, set fire in the city to disrupt the order in the city. Especially in the streets leading to the north city, a fire must be created to prevent Zhao Shan's people from rushing to rescue."
"Third, we had no other way, so we robbed General Tuoba. Taking advantage of the fact that the army in the city could not rush to rescue him in time, we robbed him and left quickly."
Yu Wenxiong said: "No matter how high the price is, you must give it a try."
Li Gang said: "Yes!"
The others replied feebly.
These people have little hope for Yu Wenxiong's next arrangements because their numbers are small. Even with the private soldiers brought by the Yuwen family, it is not easy to rob prisoners.
Seeing the lack of morale, Yu Wenxiong continued: "This time against Youzhou, not only are we taking action, but His Majesty also mobilized 80,000 troops to go south, with Lord Tuoba Shao as the general manager, to capture Youzhou."
"After taking Youzhou, His Majesty decided to divide Youzhou into two, and I will be the chief official of one of them."
"You have always been spies."
"If I don't have enough opportunities, I will stay in Jixian. If I take charge of the place, I can use you because you are loyal."
Yu Wenxiong talked eloquently and further said: "Whoever can stand out and make great achievements, I will use him? The opportunity is before you. Whether you can seize it or not depends on your own destiny."
Li Gang's eyes suddenly became hot.
He is a spy.
Regardless of his identity as a spy, he was just a small businessman doing some small business and spying on some information for the Northern Wei Dynasty. If there was no accident, he would never have any chance in this life, and he would have a lowly status.
Now the opportunity has come.
Li Gang breathed rapidly and said loudly: "Please rest assured, Lord Yuwen, I will do my best in this humble position."
Others spoke one after another.
They kept answering one by one, and then they went to take action.
A smile appeared at the corner of Yu Wenxiong's lips. For him, just sprinkling water is enough for these humble people to live a comfortable life. Therefore, his arrangement is not difficult, it is guided by interests.
After Li Gang and others took action, Yu Wenxiong also left the temporary gathering place.
Yu Wenxiong went further to investigate the situation outside the city and learn about Tuoba Jian. Moreover, Yu Wenxiong approached Tuoba Jian personally and met Tuoba Jian's eyes.
After the two sides had a tacit understanding, Yu Wenxiong returned to the city to make further arrangements.
Time passed little by little, and at Shenshi in the afternoon, Wei Polu also received news from spies, and found that people from the Northern Wei Dynasty had entered Jixian County. It is not yet clear who led the troops in the Northern Wei Dynasty? I don’t know how many people came?
However, Wei Polu was sure that the Northern Wei Dynasty was already taking action and hurried to Bai Youyou's shop to meet Zhao Shan.
Wei Polu saw Zhao Shan and said: "Your Majesty."
Zhao Shan nodded and asked, "Mr. Wei, is there any news?"
Wei Polu solemnly said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the sentinel has found out the whereabouts of the spies from the Northern Wei Dynasty. Our people went to follow them, but they were temporarily lost."
"One thing is certain, the Northern Wei Dynasty has responded and wants to kidnap Tuoba Jian."
"More details are unknown."
Wei Polu said in a deep voice: "There is no news about the further situation yet."
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier came in quickly, saluted Wei Polu, handed over a letter and said: "Chief Wei, I have the latest news from the Northern Wei Dynasty."
Wei Polu took the letter and browsed it quickly. After reading it, he looked a little excited. He waved the soldiers to retreat and said quickly: "Your Majesty, the Northern Wei Dynasty has really sent troops."
Zhao Shan asked: "Is Tuoba Hong coming?"
"No!"
Wei Polu also had some regrets and said: "Tuoba Hong arranged for Tuoba Shao to be the general manager of the march and led an 80,000-strong army southward. Among the 80,000-strong army, there were elites from the Murong and Yuwen tribes of the Northern Wei Dynasty participating in the battle. The troops were very strong. Tuoba Shao All the Sirius Cavalry also participated in the battle."
Zhao Shan nodded and said, "This is a good thing."
Wei Polu said: "There is no news about the Xuanjia Army yet. If the Xuanjia Army led by Zhou Huhou comes, it will be better to arrange it."
"Report!"
A Xuanjia Army soldier entered.
The soldier walked up to Zhao Shan and reported with a serious look: "Your Majesty, the three thousand Xuanjia Army led by General Zhou has left the border of Jizhou and entered Youzhou. They will arrive in Jixian in three days at most. General Zhou said that Xuanjia Army When Army A passed through Jizhou, their whereabouts were exposed, and Zhao Fan did not take any action."
Zhao Shan smiled and said: "I know!"
The Xuanjia Army soldiers retreated.
Zhao Shan continued: "We don't care how Zhao Fan arranges it. Now that the Xuanjia Army is here, we will do our best to deal with the Northern Wei army. Although our troops are small, we must defeat Tuoba Shao in one battle."
Wei Polu nodded and said: "Your Majesty is right, we are fighting elites and will completely defeat the Northern Wei Dynasty."
A flash of light flashed across Zhao Shan's eyes, and he said loudly: "When the war comes, Tuoba Jian's importance will be reduced. Next, let's start cleaning the house, and first capture the Northern Wei spies who have sneaked into Jixian County."
Wei Polu frowned and said, "Your Majesty, it's not easy to arrest people."
Zhao Shan looked calm and replied: "There must be brave men under heavy rewards. We must believe in the eyes of the people in Jixian County. You deploy troops to blockade the four city gates in Jixian County, and then issue a notice. Anyone who finds suspicious traces will be arrested and verified after reporting." For identity, the government will reward you with a hundred taels of silver. If you capture the suspicious person alive and verify his identity as a spy from the Northern Wei Dynasty, you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver."
