Chapter 57 Clues
() Tao Kan pondered for a while, and then said: "I am of the same opinion as you. With these two advantages in hand, when ramming an enemy warship, it should increase the chance of winning by 30%. Although I don't know where the warships of the Liangzhou Navy came from.
However, it does not prevent us from following suit."
After saying that, Tao Kan turned to his guards and ordered: "You should return to Jiangling immediately, draw the drawings of Liangzhou warships and give them to the craftsmen, and ask them to trial-produce a few ships first to compare their performance with the existing ships of our army.
I’ll make a decision when I get back.”
"Yes!" The guard saluted, quickly walked to the stern of the ship, jumped onto the decorated boat, untied the rope and rowed towards Jiangling.
But Mao Bao snorted again and said bitterly: "Hmph! According to my disciples, King Qin is probably no match for Shi Hu. If this battle is defeated, his Qin Kingdom will fall apart. By then, what will happen to old man Jiang Yan?"
Are you so arrogant again?"
Tao Kan was obviously not that optimistic. There was a hint of worry in his eyes. He shook his head and said: "It's hard to predict this battle. I hope I can give you good advice. Alas~~ There are rebellious officials and thieves inside, and there are strong enemies outside."
The enemy repeatedly knocks on the country’s door,
What can we do if the weather doesn't work out for us? Murong Xuan is by no means a mediocre person. The battle between King Qin and Shihu has its own destiny. Let's concentrate our efforts on the siege of Guangling. We can get through this hurdle first and then talk about the rest.
."
Mao Bao also sighed and closed his mouth. Perhaps he did not have much confidence in defeating Murong Xin.
When both the east and west fronts were in a stalemate, a very ordinary cart stopped in the market in Huaili County, Shiping County, about 120 miles west of Chang'an. A middle-aged man with a goatee was
The two servants got out of the car and turned into a shop beside the road.
Not long after they left, four figures boarded the vehicle.
The driver who was left behind was startled. Did he run into a gangster? What a mistake! Then he came to his senses and quickly turned around and asked: "Who are you? Didn't you see the Du family logo on the car? Get off the car now, I don't want to
I’ll argue with you!”
One of them laughed and said: "Who in Ruping doesn't know the name of the Du family? Huh? Isn't that the master of your family in front of you?"
"Huh? The coachman subconsciously turned his head to look, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck, and then he lost consciousness.
The four people who boarded the car quickly caught the driver and quickly dragged him into the carriage. They took off his clothes and hat with a few swipes. A person of similar stature replaced him and took the driver's seat.
The man turned back to signal, turned his wrist, and made a twisting motion of his neck.
A person in the car shook his head: "General Wang told me not to kill innocent people indiscriminately, so I will keep it for now and wait for cross-examination before talking about it."
It turned out that these four people were the army scouts headed by Yang Yuan who were surrendered by Wang Gui in Jiange. Due to their great achievements in breaking Li Xiong's camp, they were accepted as personal guards by Yunfeng. Speaking of which, this was the first time they were alone.
I came out to perform a mission, but I wandered around for nearly half a month. Including overt and covert visits,
They tried all the methods they could think of, but they didn't get any clues. Logically speaking, it was time to call it a day and go back to work. However, they believed that it was impossible for Shi Hu not to send people to contact these Wubao powerful men. Instead, they felt guilty.
The opponent's concealment was so good that he couldn't notice it for a while.
These four people were extremely anxious. It would be fine if nothing happened in the rear. If something happened, they would probably be too embarrassed to live in this world. However, Wubao was extremely wary of outsiders. They had no intention of getting in, so they decided to find a big family first.
After asking about the situation, it happened that Du's purchasing vehicle came to Huaili to buy some rouge and gouache that the ladies and matrons needed, so unfortunately they were targeted.
The four of them stared all the way and felt that the time had come, so they immediately took action. Since the movement was very fast and made no noise, it did not attract the attention of the surrounding people.
Not long after, Goatee and the servant walked out of the shop carrying several exquisite boxes, and boarded the carriage chatting and laughing. "Plop, plop, plop~~" were heard three times in unison, and the unsuspecting three people were caught.
He was knocked unconscious on the spot, and the carriage rushed out of the city without any haste.
Soon, the carriage drove to a deserted place, and four Du Fu servants were woken up one by one.
Goatee opened his eyes in a daze, and unconsciously rubbed his still sore neck. Then he realized what he was doing and said in a different tone: "Who are you waiting for? Why did you kidnap me? Humph! You actually robbed our Du family's head during the robbery.
You are so bold! I would like to advise you, if you leave like this, I can let you wait for a way out, otherwise, he will regret it in the future!"
The four of them looked at each other in surprise, and Yang Yuan slapped him in the face!
There was a crisp sound of "pop!" and Goatee immediately calmed down!
Yang Yuan smiled faintly, reached into his arms, took out a bronze medal, shook it, and then said: "We are under the command of the King of Qin. According to reliable information, your Du family secretly colluded with the Jie thieves with evil intentions to harm the King of Qin's army.
Soon, all the people in your fort will be accused of treason! I will give you a chance this time, and it depends on whether you are willing to cooperate. If any of you tell everything you know, the King of Qin will not only not increase the crime, but also return the crime.
There will be rewards."
The four servants of the Du family were stunned for a moment. In their imagination, Yang Yuan and others should come from the Sili Xiaowei Department. The Sili Xiaowei of the previous dynasty did this kind of thing, secretly spying, kidnapping, and torture.
Torture and so on, if they fall into their hands, they will basically go in vertically, come out horizontally, or simply disappear from the world. In short, it is a role that everyone is afraid of.
Goatbeard quickly cried out his injustice: "General, there is absolutely no such thing. I, the Du family, are loyal to the king, how could I collude with the Jie thieves? Don't listen to the rumors from outside!"
"Oh?" Yang Yuan said with great interest: "Tell me, what are the rumors outside?"
"This" Goatee was speechless, but his face showed a trace of panic.
The four of them, Yang Yuan, were all secretly involved, and they couldn't help but feel refreshed! Yang Yuan's eyes flashed fiercely, and he shouted: "What is your position in Du Family? Don't even think about cunning! Humph! I'll separate you later and torture you one by one!"
"Don't, don't! The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare!" Goatbeard said repeatedly: "The villain is Du's deacon. The three of them are subordinates of the villain and are responsible for the procurement of the inner castle. As for what the general asked
You villain, Jie Thief, really doesn’t know. He is of low status and is nothing more than a slave. How could he be involved in such a secret? General, everything the villain said is true!"
"How did you know that this matter was confidential? It seems you would be dishonest if I didn't punish you!" Yang Yuan turned around and winked.
One of the guards suddenly appeared with a sinister smile, stretched out his hand to pull Goatee's arm, and slammed his palm to the ground! Then, he pulled out his sword with a clang and stabbed it with all his strength!
"Ah~~!" Goatee let out a shrill scream, rolled his eyes, and fainted!
This personal guard gave him a kick in the chest!
"Bang~~!" There was a muffled sound. Goatee's whole body was shocked. He woke up and looked at his palm at the first glance. He was surprised to find that his palm was intact!
"Huh!" Yang Yuan snorted coldly: "The first time I gave you a warning, but next time, it's hard to say." After saying that, he gave his companion another wink.
