As a secret agent who has repeatedly made great achievements, Tan Bin has a very good reputation among the four departments. Of course, his real name does not reflect the landscape, but his nickname is more resounding: Passerby Jia.
Tan Bin likes this name very much, not only because Master Shen personally gave it to him, but also because these three words are indeed the highest realm that all spies are pursuing.
Tigers and dragons may sound very attractive and majestic, but for spies, they are a quick way to death.
Passerby A, this is great, who cares about a passerby next to you?
The original merits he received were enough for Tan Bin to live a prosperous life for the rest of his life. In order to conceal his merits, his meritorious deeds would be calculated and credited to his son. Mr. Shen had promised him that as long as his son was not You fool, Xuanqing Guard will stop him, at least a small flag officer!
Thank God instead of thanking my lord. Mr. Wang Jian, Mr. Shen Hao and Mr. Shen are both fastidious people, and they will definitely not treat the poor people who have done meritorious service badly.
However, despite experiencing life and death several times, Tan Bin could not take any time off, and returning to his field to shed his armor was not something he had to consider at his age, so he did not choose to quit, but continued to stay on the front line.
Wang Jian personally talked to Tan Bin before, asking him to step down from the front line and teach the newbies in the future for a few days, but he refused. Tan Bin is not afraid of death. Even if he dies tomorrow, he is not afraid. He has already earned enough. Now he can earn an extra day by living. Making more money for his wife and children is what he is doing now. Enjoy peace and happiness in the back? forget it.
Lord Shen personally ordered him to do this job, saying that firstly, Tan Bin had experience in the southern mission, and secondly, this mission was extremely important and required an elite like Tan Bin to take on the big responsibility. And Tan Bin was assigned five equally elite spies as cover.
On August 11, Tan Bin went to Yucheng under the pseudonym of Zhou Niu'er according to the above arrangement, and followed a group of rough men to Yucheng. His identity was a coachman from Hengshun Carriage and Horse Racing Company.
Tan Bin knew how to drive a car. He had learned it from the villagers in his hometown. Later, he joined the army and worked in a transport camp, and he also worked in a similar job in Xuanqingwei. The last time he was called to the south for the first time because he could drive a car, he made a great contribution. This time it can be considered as doing his old job.
But this time it seems different from the previous ones, because what he wants to observe and collect is the news in the military. Regardless of the importance, as long as he thinks it is valuable or suspicious, he can collect and send it back.
The danger of this mission is not too high, but it is very difficult, because information in the military is not easy to obtain, and because it is groping outside, the possibility of obtaining important information is not high.
I still remember what Mr. Wang Jian said personally when assigning the mission: "We need you to always be aware of the daily movements of the border troops where you are, as well as any sudden changes." So Tan Bin is not in a hurry, his experience tells When he arrived at the place, he had to stabilize his situation first before talking about intelligence. It seemed that this was not a task that could be completed in a short time.
When he first arrived in Yucheng, Tan Bin's original team was disrupted by a group of soldiers, and then they checked their identities one by one. They were so careful that even though Tan Bin was experienced, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, the fake identity made by Xuan Qingwei was "real" enough. Although the soldiers investigated carefully and even harshly, they still could not find out the clues about Tan Bin.
Afterwards, according to the instructions of the soldiers, the disrupted goods were loaded into cargo ships in batches. They were crowded in the cabins filled with cargo and headed south along the river, finally arriving at Haixia.
After arriving at Haixia, we formed a convoy on the spot, signed the identity documents according to the arrangements of the local coordinator, received an iron plate, and started working in earnest. Pulling a loaded cart and continuing south along the official road.
Tan Bin knew that the place he wanted to go was in the direction of Tanshi.
The cart carried bundles of feathered arrows, which were covered with a layer of oilcloth. The people in the same convoy as Tan Bin also had food, herbs, leather armor, leather shields, and even spiritual stones on their carriages.
Tan Bin, who has been in the military, knows that this is not transportation based on "material type", but transportation based on "target rationing" shares. To put it bluntly, the items in this convoy were given directly to the quota of a thousand-man battalion or other establishment in front, so the variety was so complete.
A few days later, Tan Bin saw Zhuhuo Pass again. This time, his feelings were very different from the last time he came here. The last time he felt that "the place is heavily guarded", but this time Tan Bin felt "full combat readiness". From the cold-faced soldiers who were busy receiving supplies on the roadside, he could feel the pain these people were holding in their hearts. Killing intent.
Looking at the towering wall again, the number of figures is more than double that of the last time we came here.
"Tie the horses up and help unload the carts. After unloading, go over there to get food. Don't worry about the horses! After you finish eating, someone will take you to where the horses are fed. Hurry up and don't waste time!"
A school commander loudly greeted Tan Bin's convoy to start unloading.
After the sweaty work was finished, Tan Bin received a meal: two fist-sized rice dumplings and a piece of meat pie. Soup? No, just take a kettle and go to the nearby well to get water.
When taking the horses to feed, Tan Bin found that many soldiers were being carried and put on their cars, about seventeen or eight, all of whom were injured to the point of being unable to walk, or their eyes, or arms, anyway. Not a minor injury. But there were no serious injuries.
When we arrived, the steward of the convoy had never heard anyone say that the wounded would be brought on the way back, so he asked a few more questions and was almost stabbed to death by the grumpy school commander. If you ask about military secrets, you have no right to interfere. Just send them back, and you will not be short of shipping costs. If you dare to ask again, you are inquiring about military secrets. Kill them!
The coachmen were as quiet as ice, carefully collecting the dozens of wounded people, then tying the fed horses back to the vehicle and starting the return journey.
No one saw that strange look in the eyes of the man named Zhou Niuer in the team.
"Looking at the size of the camp just now, it was only a camp with a thousand people, and there were actually more than a dozen wounded who had lost their fighting strength. Wasn't there no fighting recently? Where did the wounded come from? Or has it already started?"
Tan Bin felt that this news was very important, so as soon as he left the official road near Zhuohuo Pass, he secretly took out the Qianli Note in the car and sent this brief message back...
The official residence of the officer in charge of the Tanshi Inspectorate. Shen Hao received a progress report on the line of carriages and horses stationed at Tanshi to Zhuohuo Pass, which was sent by Zhang Ye.
"Why are there so many vacancies? Didn't you say they would be replaced in three batches? It's so urgent?"
"Yes, sir, this time the replacement was temporarily changed by the border army. It is nearly double the amount agreed before. After the replacement, the carriage and horse agency's transportation capacity can already directly reach the camp near Zhuohuo Pass."
