Zhao Junchen's expression changed, as if he had thought of some key information.
Ximen Sheng hesitated for a moment, then asked: "I don't know, Zhao Gechen, have you thought of something strange?"
Although Ximen Sheng asked Zhao Junchen for information, he just wanted to confirm He Yu's safety as soon as possible. In fact, he did not trust Zhao Junchen's information.
However, as a veteran of the border army who is familiar with the art of war, Ximen Sheng knows one thing very well, that is, "false intelligence is also a kind of intelligence." As long as you can be keenly aware of the flaws in the false intelligence, you can deduce it in reverse. The truth of the matter.
Now, after Ximen Sheng saw Zhao Junchen's mysterious appearance, his first reaction was that Zhao Junchen wanted to mislead him with false information, but Ximen Sheng decided to listen to it.
At the same time, probably out of similar thoughts, all the generals in Liaodong Town present also asked questions one after another.
Zhao Junchen thought again for a moment and asked: "When I was escaping, several of the gangsters shouted a few sentences and vocabulary that I had never heard of in anger, such as 'Ah "He", and "Da ce" etc... This sounds like the Manchu language of the Jianzhou Jurchens. You have been fighting against the Jianzhou Jurchens in the Liaodong area for a long time, but do you know what they mean? "
After hearing what Zhao Junchen said, several senior military attaches in Liaodong Town couldn't help but change their expressions.
Then, Li Zehe said hesitantly: "It does sound like Jurchen words. It probably means 'dumb donkey' and 'hunt'."
Zhao Junchen raised his eyebrows and asked: "So... it is indeed Manchu? Does this mean that the group of gangsters who kidnapped me and Mr. He have something to do with the Jurchens in Jianzhou? Even, Is the Jianzhou Jurchen the mastermind behind all these things?
Speaking of which, when the gangsters interrogated me and General He respectively, they had always intended to find out the secrets of the imperial court and Liaodong Town. I was still wondering why these gangsters cared about these things, but if they were Jianzhou Jurchens, If you are the mastermind behind the scenes, all these things will be explained..."
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, the atmosphere in the big tent suddenly became weird, and no one answered the question for a while.
Among them, Li Zehe's expression seemed happy and worried, while Ximen Sheng's face became more serious and full of fear.
Zhao Junchen seemed completely unaware of the strange reactions of the generals in Liaodong Town, and continued: "I believe that this is a key clue. We might as well follow this clue to focus on it, and maybe we can successfully rescue them soon." Mr. He, what do you think?"
Afterwards, Li Zehe and Ximen Sheng looked at each other. The two people who were at odds with each other not long ago quickly formed a tacit understanding.
Li Zehe was the first to say: "This... Jianzhou Jurchen wants to set up a trap to kidnap Zhao Gechen and the General Soldier without our Liaodong Town being aware of it. I'm afraid..."
Li Zehe originally wanted to say that the Jianzhou Jurchens had no ability to do this.
But before Li Zehe finished speaking, Zhao Junchen interrupted: "Yes, if all these things are really the mastermind behind the Jianzhou Jurchens, it would be terrible! This is enough to show the terrifying strength of the Jianzhou Jurchens, and the court also We must strengthen our support for Liaodong Town!
Well, to tell you the truth, when I came to inspect Liaodong this time, I originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to reduce Liao’s salary, but Mr. He firmly opposed it and argued with reason, saying that the Jianzhou Jurchens were powerful and ambitious. , we must focus on prevention, so the Liao salary must not be reduced. I was a little dissatisfied at first, but now... I have to admit that what Mr. He said makes some sense... It seems that I must reconsider cutting the Liao salary. Something happened! "
These words obviously connected the strength of the Jianzhou Jurchens with the central government's plan to reduce Liao's salary. If Li Zehe denied the strength of the Jianzhou Jurchens at this time, he firmly believed that the Jianzhou Jurchens had no ability to hide it. Kidnapping Zhao Junchen and He Yu in Liaodong Town was equivalent to denying the threat of the Jianzhou Jurchens, and it was also equivalent to supporting the imperial court's plan to reduce Liao's pay.
Therefore, Li Zehe's subsequent words were naturally unable to be uttered.
Ximen Shengruo was obviously inferior to Li Zehe in terms of quick wit. Seeing that Li Zehe was blocked by Zhao Junchen, he stopped trying to refute Zhao Junchen's statement and just sat there silently with his expression changing.
As both Ximen Sheng and Li Zehe were speechless for a moment, the remaining generals of Liaodong Town naturally did not dare to speak easily, so the big tent soon fell into awkward silence again.
But after Zhao Junchen glanced at everyone, a sarcastic look flashed deep in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal and asked: "Why is no one talking? You all swore before that, as long as you can, We have successfully rescued Mr. He, no matter what the price, but why are you all keeping silent and making no move even though we have provided you with important clues now? What? Is it because you are afraid of offending Jianzhou? Jurchens, so even if the Jianzhou Jurchens set up a bureau to kidnap me and Mr. He, you wouldn’t dare to investigate?”
Seeing that Zhao Junchen had reached this point, the generals in Liaodong Town had no choice but to stand up and express their stance, saying that they would immediately investigate based on the clues provided by Zhao Junchen and find out the truth as soon as possible.
However, when the generals of Liaodong Town expressed their stance, they all looked like they lacked confidence.
*
When Zhao Junchen led the mastermind behind the kidnappers to Jianzhou Jurchen, the atmosphere in the camp quickly became awkward and deserted. All the Liaodong generals were full of thoughts and concerns, unlike before. positive.
After Zhao Junchen saw the situation of the Liaodong generals, he became more sarcastic, but he did not continue to pester him. He just urged him a few words and expressed that he was tired and wanted to rest, and then left. Jiang Quan, who led hundreds of households of the Forbidden Army, left the Chinese army's tent in Liaodong Town and went to the Forbidden Army's garrison.
However, when Zhao Junchen and Jiang Quan stepped into the main tent of the Forbidden Army, they saw that there was no one else around, and Zhao Junchen had already taken his seat. Jiang Quan couldn't help but asked: "Zhao Gechen, are you?" Why did you escape early? According to our original plan, we should wait until Liaodong Town is completely in chaos before it is the right time for you to escape and show up."
Jiang Quan is now Zhao Junchen's confidant and is very aware of Zhao Junchen's planned plan. At this time, he is naturally wondering why Zhao Junchen wants to "get out of trouble" and show up in advance.
Zhao Junchen shook his head helplessly and explained, "The plan can't keep up with the changes. Although I had calculated everything when I made the plan, I still underestimated the hidden dragon and crouching tiger in Liaodong Town. I didn't expect that the scheming methods of Li Zehe, who was inconspicuous in the past, would be like this." Such cleverness directly forced Ximen Sheng and others into a dead end...
If I don't show up soon, the overt and covert fight between Ximen Sheng and Li Zehe will soon be settled. At that time, either Li Zehe will pick the peaches and let me make a wedding dress for him, or Ximen Sheng will Eliminating internal dangers and taking complete control of Liaodong... I didn't want to see either outcome, so I had no choice but to show up in advance and try to stir up the situation again. "
Jiang Quan nodded clearly and said: "Yes, I also feel that this Li Zehe is a little too smart, annoyingly smart... When Zhao Gechen told the Liaodong generals about the relevant information just now, it was just to muddy the waters. Is that why the mastermind behind the scenes was directed towards Jianzhou Jurchen?
But please forgive me for speaking frankly. Those Liaodong generals probably will not believe the information you provided, nor will they seriously investigate the clues related to the Jianzhou Jurchen. In all likelihood, they have already identified you as Zhao Gechen. The real mastermind behind this is why you are forcibly placed under house arrest here. "
"I don't care whether they believe it or not. It's not up to them whether they believe it or not!" As he spoke, Zhao Junchen seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said leisurely: "Jiang Quan, have you noticed that this pavilion directed the finger of the mastermind behind the scenes to Jianzhou Jurchen? After that, the atmosphere immediately became weird? All Liaodong soldiers looked embarrassed, hesitant and in a dilemma?"
After Jiang Quan thought about it for a moment, he nodded and said: "When you put it this way, this is really the case! Especially Ximen Sheng and Li Zehe, who were originally on the same side and were tit-for-tat, but at that time they actually intended to unite to refute the cabinet ministers. The statement... is really strange!"
Zhao Junchen waved his hand and sneered: "Strange? What's so strange? For many years, Liaodong Town has always respected itself as a bandit. On one side, it fought desperately with the Jianzhou Jurchens, and on the other side, it smuggled with the Jianzhou Jurchens to make money. The relationship between the two parties was like enemies and friends. It is extremely subtle, and the secret connection and tacit interaction between them has never been interrupted!
Therefore, once the mastermind behind this incident is pointed to the Jianzhou Jurchens, another matter must be investigated at the same time during the investigation, and that is - is there anyone in Liaodong Town who is acting as an internal agent and secretly colluding with the Jianzhou Jurchens!
Ha, in this regard, who among the generals in Liaodong Town is clean? Under normal circumstances, no one in Liaodong Town dares to touch this kind of thing. Once we dig into it, everyone has a handle, that is, everyone will die together. Therefore, after I pointed the finger behind the scenes at Jianzhou Jurchen, those That’s why people’s reactions are so weird! "
After Jiang Quan nodded, he asked curiously: "Since no one dares to touch this kind of thing in Liaodong Town, and they don't believe your intelligence at all, wouldn't all the things you did just now become... Useless effort?"
Zhao Junchen shook his head again and said: "I just said that under normal circumstances, no one in Liaodong Town would dare to touch this matter, but now it is not a normal situation...
Li Zehe is now using the means of joining forces to fight with political parties, and has driven Ximen Sheng, Shi Cheng and others who are loyal to He Yu to a dead end. If this pavilion's speculation is correct, given Ximen Sheng's character, I am afraid that this is the plan now It’s time to get rid of the fire and eradicate the roots!
And once Ximen Sheng and others want to use violent means to deal with Li Zehe, the conflict between the two parties will completely intensify, and they will become more and more unscrupulous when fighting each other, no longer caring about the consequences!
At that time, the foreshadowing laid by this pavilion today is to hand them a knife and let them stab each other's bodies. Even if they know that this method will also threaten themselves, they must be careful. No more, he would only use the topic to play off the topic, accusing the other party of colluding with the Jianzhou Jurchens, and being the culprit behind the kidnapping of this pavilion and He Yu! "
After a pause, Zhao Junchen's expression became more confident and he said: "At least, Li Zehe will definitely jump into the urn, because he is a reckless and smart man, and once it happens that I and He Yu are kidnapped, Being related to the Jianzhou Jurchens would also be of greater benefit to Li Zehe himself, because even if Li Zehe could not prove that Ximen Sheng and the Jianzhou Jurchens colluded with each other, he would definitely take the opportunity to say that the Jianzhou Jurchens might take advantage of He Yu When he was kidnapped, he sent troops to invade again, and then forced Ximen Sheng to quickly return to Northeast Liao Road to guard the border. Then he didn't have to take into account Ximen Sheng's constraints and could do whatever he wanted!"
Hearing this, Jiang Quan's expression changed slightly again and said, "Are you saying that Ximen Sheng and the others are likely to assassinate Li Zehe next?"
Zhao Junchen nodded, stared at Jiang Quan and said seriously: "Nine times out of ten it will be like this, because Ximen Sheng has no better way to control the situation! But Li Zehe can't die now, we must find a way to temporarily Save his life...Jiang Quan, it depends on your ability!"
