"Master Fu, that guy Huo Jian went out to meet the Yi people again tonight." Wu Que came to Yang Qing and said lightly.
Yang Qing was not surprised when he heard this, and asked with a smile: "Are our people following this time?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Fu, I've already followed him. I expect that this time I'll be able to find out where the Yi people are hiding."
Last time, Wu Que's subordinates could have followed the people who met Huo Jian to find the location of the Yi camp, but they did not get Wu Que's explicit permission, so they would have alerted the enemy, so they did not follow him.
As for tracking and monitoring Huo Jian this time, Wu Que had given an order to find Li Qiucheng's lair in Xindao County. To this end, he sent a number of capable agents to cooperate.
In the quiet dense forest, Huo Jian and Li Changtai were chatting softly under the moonlight. Although they were also vigilant people, their long-term success had paralyzed their vigilance. The two of them had no idea that something was happening behind the trees not far away. Three people were watching their actions intently.
These three people are Wu Que's subordinates. They are all smart and capable people. They are highly valued by him and often entrust them with important tasks.
The leader of the three was a young man who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. This man was called Yue Zhao, and he was also an elite member of the former Chinese Army who had followed from Chengdu. His apparent identity was also Yang Qing's bodyguard.
Although he looks very immature and young, he is actually already thirty years old, four or five years older than Wu Que. He only has a baby face and is often regarded as a young man.
Just because Yue Zhao has a baby face, he can use this to lower the vigilance of others, making it easier for him to carry out espionage matters.
In fact, this is also an important reason why Wu Que values him, so the task of tracking Huo Jian and the people he meets falls on him this time.
In order to prevent Huo Jian from discovering the three of them, Yue Zhao and the others did not get too close. They only found a place to hide where they could see their movements clearly. Although they could not hear what the other party was saying, the most important task tonight was It is to follow the Yi people carefully to find the opponent's lair, so the first priority is to be cautious and not to be exposed.
Half an hour later, Huo Jian and the two finished their discussion and dispersed. Yue Zhao winked and asked the brother on his left to follow Huo Jian back to the camp. He took the other brother and quietly followed the Yi people to Xindao County.
Early on the next morning, Yue Zhao went to Wu Que with dark eyes and reported last night's harvest to him. After hearing this, Wu Que was satisfied. Looking at the tired look on his men's faces, he asked him to rest early with concern.
But he himself couldn't hold back his excitement and almost wanted to walk towards the commander's tent. Fortunately, he had a clear mind and calmed down his mood. He walked through the tent and came to Yang Qing with a calm face.
"Master Fu, good news, good news."
Yang Qing had finished his breakfast and had just washed his hands and face when Huo Jian ran in with a dusty face.
"Uncle Zhi, how is it appropriate to shout so loudly? Don't be in a hurry, speak slowly." Yang Qing joked.
Seeing that he was so approachable, Huo Jian thought that he had gained more trust, and he was even more happy. He laughed and said: "Master Fu, we have made a major discovery. After days of exploration by my subordinates, I finally found it." The rebels’ lair in Xindao County.”
As a soldier, Huo Jian was responsible for handling important military intelligence. In order to show his trust and respect for him, Yang Qing also gave him the task of exploring the barracks of the Yi soldiers.
Therefore, it is Huo Jian's duty to report the results to Yang Qing at this moment, and it will not arouse any suspicion.
"Oh? Is this serious?" Yang Qing pretended to be surprised and asked, "Where is Li Qiucheng now?"
Huo Jian opened his mouth and looked at Wu Que who was standing beside him. Yang Qing understood his intention and smiled secretly in his heart. He nodded to Wu Que and motioned for him to go out first.
Seeing that there was no one else in the tent, Huo Jian felt relieved. He took a step closer to Yang Qing and said, "Master Huifu, the details sent by the subordinates have been verified. Li Jiucheng's camp is twenty miles west of Xindao City. In a remote valley.”
"That place has high mountains, deep valleys, dense forests, many wild animals, and sparsely populated areas. Therefore, it is a good place to hide soldiers. Now Li Jiucheng and the others are hiding here, which is convenient for me to catch them all." Huo Jian said excitedly. .
"Did your subordinates see it clearly?" Yang Qing asked again worriedly.
Gu Huojian replied affirmatively: "Don't worry, Mr. Fu, the detailed work sent by a certain person are all cautious and cautious people, and there is no chance of mistakes in such a major matter."
"Okay, Uncle Zhi, you did a great job this time." Yang Qing patted the desk and said happily: "As long as we can annihilate these hundreds of barbarian soldiers in one fell swoop, you will be credited with the first achievement."
Huo Jian hurriedly declined after hearing this: "No matter where you are, this is all the result of the master's strategizing."
Speaking of this, Yang Qing couldn't help but secretly praise that Huo Jian's acting skills were indeed good. After this conversation, he didn't even notice any pretense on his face. ,
If Yang Qing had not known his details for a long time, it would have been difficult for Yang Qing to believe that this official who looked diligent in his official duties was actually a spy for the rebels.
However, Yang Qing didn't need to lament Huo Jian's clever disguise. In fact, he himself acted very well. He looked like he was extremely excited when he learned about important military information, which made Huo Jian think that the plan set by him and others was almost successful.
Although the two of them have their own hidden agendas, they still have to make compromises with each other. Yang Qing put away his thoughts and continued to joke: "Haha, uncle, don't be humble. You deserve the credit, so there is no need to refuse."
"Now that we have found the Yi people's lair, how can we miss such a good opportunity? Shuzhi, please go and send an order for Liu Yin and Lu Shun to rush back to the Dingxiang camp immediately to discuss matters."
"No." Huo Jian said excitedly, clasping his fists.
Yang Qing looked at his leaving figure and thought it was a pity that this man was so talented but he became a bandit.
"Master Fu, where is the place Huo Jian mentioned?" Wu Que waited for Huo Jian to leave and then went into the tent again and asked.
"It's the same as what you just reported."
"Ah, is it like this?" Wu Queqi asked.
It turned out that before Huo Jian asked to see him, Wu Que was reporting to Yang Qing the harvest of his men's work last night, but he never expected that Huo Jian would come in immediately and report that his people had discovered the Yi soldiers' lair, let alone Huo Jian. The place mentioned was actually the same one he had found out, which made him a little confused about Huo Jian's intention.
But he is a smart person after all, and he knew Yang Qing's plan from beginning to end, so he quickly reacted and said tentatively: "Master Fu, does he want to..."
Yang Qing nodded and said: "Yes, what they did is almost exactly what we expected before. Shu Qi, it seems that our fighter plane has arrived. Please follow the previous plan."
Upon hearing this, Wu Que understood that the war was approaching, so he immediately did not dare to neglect, solemnly responded, and went out to make arrangements.
Two hours later, in the Chinese military tent, Huo Jian, Liu Yin, Lu Shun and Feng Chong were sitting on the left and right sides. Wu Que's public identity was that of the leader of the guard accompanying Yang Qing, so he stood by his side with a carefree attitude.
When Yang Qing saw that everyone had arrived, he coughed lightly and said, "Uncle Zhi, please tell me about the situation."
"No." Huo Jian was about to find out the situation of the Yi people's lair in Xindao County and told everyone in detail.
Liu Yin and others were very happy when they heard this. They had been teased by Li Qiucheng's cavalry these days, and they had long wanted to fight the Yi soldiers cleanly and with real swords and spears.
At this time, the three of them found out the location of Li Qiucheng's hidden troops, and all suggested that they should assemble a large army to attack them in one fell swoop.
Yang Qing would not object, and said loudly: "Since all the gentlemen have no objections, we really cannot let go of this rare opportunity."
"make......"
