Chapter Four Military and Political Secrets
Chang Sihao stepped forward and stopped: "Brother Chen, your injury is not healed yet, I will go on your behalf."
"Xiao Hao, you can't do things like sneaking in and eavesdropping." Chen Shengyi smiled slightly, nodded to show his appreciation, and started to leave.
Chang Sihao didn't move, still lying in front of him, and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, don't look down on others."
Qi Beishan said: "Jin Zhi, you have serious internal injuries. You should rest until you recover. I will go this time. This matter needs to be done very carefully. Inexperienced people often make mistakes. Mr. Sun, you should stay in the house to accompany him."
.”
Chang Sihao frowned and remained silent.
Qin Langchuan smiled when he saw this: "Beishan, the Taiyuan government office is not the head of the martial arts gang. Those soldiers only have many soldiers and their ears and eyes are not sharp. You take Xiaohao with you and let him learn. In the future, he will fight in the world."
I often need these when walking around."
Qi Beishan looked at the old man and saw that his eyes were firm and undeniable, so he had no choice but to say: "Yes."
"That's fine." Chen Shengyi smiled and said, "Xiao Hao, come to my house and I'll lend you some clothes." Chang Sihao followed him to his residence, and Chen Shengyi took out a set of black clothes. I don't know what kind of fabric the clothes were made of.
, slightly elastic, one piece at the top and bottom, with buttonholes on the cuffs, ribs, and trouser legs, with fine cloth belts crisscrossing each other. Chang Sihao wore it on his body, with a cloth belt and a big belt in the middle. They were close to each other and there was no half.
There was wind everywhere. Chen Shengyi asked him to comb his hair tightly with a wooden comb dipped in unscented oil, tie it into a bun close to his scalp, then wrap it in black cloth, and smear his face with oil paint, even his ears.
He also drew two lines on the back of his hand. Finally, he took out a pair of black soft boots with cloth soles and put them on for him. There were also buttonhole cloth straps on the sides of the boots. After they were tied, he could easily follow his feet and walk without making any sound. Chang Si
Hao looked in the mirror and found it quite interesting.
"What's going on?" Someone pushed open the door and asked, it was Qi Beishan's voice.
Chang Sihao saw that he was dressed the same as himself, except that he had a black bag hanging on his waist, his face was painted black, making him almost unrecognizable, and he didn't bring the Thunder Blade that he always kept with him. Chen Sheng said: "Okay.
Already."
Qi Beishan nodded and waved: "Let's go." Chang Sihao came out of the house and followed him to the backyard. Qi Beishan told him as he walked: "You must obey my command for this operation, and don't move rashly. If you have any questions, use gestures.
Don't make a sound."
Chang Sihao snorted slightly in agreement.
Leading from the front of Qibei Mountain, the two of them flew up to the greenhouse and walked between the roofs. Soon they came to the back wall. There was no one in the dark alley. The two jumped down, then ran up the walls of other houses, running between the roofs.
Vertical. Clouds cover the sky, and the moonlight appears and disappears. Two human figures are like black swallows skimming the water, sneaking silently in the night. After a cup of tea, the speed of Qibei Mountain slows down, and a large courtyard appears in front of it.
There were soldiers stationed outside the government office, and a group of people patrolling with knives and lanterns. The atmosphere was indeed unusual.
Qi Beishan made a gesture, and the two of them turned back. When the patrol team was far away, they climbed over the wall in the shadows and entered the courtyard. They walked along the shadows of the vegetation under the corridor, carefully avoiding the guards in the courtyard, and arrived at the back house.
The main building of this mansion is tall and spacious, with a verandah roof above it and slopes on all sides. It is built with raised ridges and flying eaves. It is majestic. The courtyard is brightly lit, as bright as day. Soldiers are lined up beside the windows and under the corridors. A rough estimate
There could be three to four hundred people, all with solemn faces, holding their hands on the hilts of their swords and holding their spears tightly, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. There were especially many guards around the window on the left, and Qi Beishan secretly noted the location.
Chang Sihao thought to himself, how could he get the news in such a formation? The light was so bright that he could find even a pin dropped on the ground. No matter how fast he moved, he would be discovered immediately as soon as he stepped out of the yard.
Qi Beishan glanced at him, climbed up to the top of the small corridor, lowered his body to the backlit side of the corridor, rubbed his knees against his chest, put his heels against his buttocks, took small steps and took the lead to touch the back of the house. Chang Sihao
Following closely, I saw that although his steps were small, his speed was extremely fast, and I secretly admired him. After turning a corner, I saw no one of the soldiers at the bottom of Qibei Mountain looking up. He straightened up and ran up the side room slope like a big cat.
The tip of his toes touched the tiles, and there was no sound at all. He twisted his body and was hidden in the shadows. No one among the soldiers below noticed him.
Chang Sihao looked at the soldiers patrolling the corridor and thought to himself, you are really brave, you dare to jump on top of these people's heads! He observed the movement below and did not dare to jump forward for a long time. Qi Beishan made gestures in the distance.
, to make him move quickly. Chang Sihao thought to himself: "It's your grandma's! It jumps when it jumps, and you were the one who pushed me when I found out! Don't blame me!" He calmed down, raised his breath, and passed by, but there was no reaction at all. Wait.
Walking to the side of Qi Beishan, I heard him say in a low voice: "Those soldiers only pay attention to the movement in the corridor in the courtyard, and don't pay attention to the above. This is a psychological habit and gap. Do you understand?"
Chang Sihao nodded in enlightenment and thought: "I really rely on experience to do this job. I don't blame him for looking down on me at that time." The slight dissatisfaction in his heart also turned into conviction.
The two of them turned around on the slope of the side room and came to the slope of the back room. Qi Beishan calculated that the direction was about the same, stretched out one palm backwards, and pressed down with his palm, and Chang Sihao knelt down without moving.
Qi Beishan touched the roof tiles with his hands, moved slowly, peeled off one piece, put it aside, and then peeled off two more. The tiles that were peeled off were all in their original positions, with fish scales stacked on the front tile, and the tiles were peeled off less than two feet.
There was a square place with soil underneath. He opened the black pocket at his waist, took out a piece of cloth, and put the soil on the cloth. The soil was as thick as a palm, and it was not long after that it was stripped off, revealing the outside.
plate.
Qi Beishan took out a horsehair brush and carefully brushed away the surrounding loose soil. Then he used a fine saw to cut down the figure-eight stubble, saw off the viewing board and the rafters nailed below, and put them aside. The dark bottom was immediately revealed.
At the entrance of the cave, there was a smell of old wood coming out. He put away the tools and said in a low voice: "After you go in, there is a ceiling below. Hold on, don't step on it. Follow the beam and follow me. Keep it up."
A little distance.”
Chang Sihao nodded and followed him down slowly. It was dark inside. The two of them walked along the beams with cat crouching steps. They were sneaking up and down cautiously. They walked forward not far when they heard voices in the room below.
came: "In this case, the capital is in danger again." Qi Beishan hurriedly gestured backwards. Chang Sihao couldn't see clearly in the dark. When he heard the slightest sound of wind, Qi Beishan's hand had arrived.
In front of him, he subconsciously hid, his body swayed slightly, and he fell down.
The ceiling hanging board is thin and brittle, so how can it be unbreakable if a person falls on it? Qi Beishan shouted in his heart, "Oops!" In a hurry, he reached forward and grabbed Chang Sihao's collar.
Chang Sihao stretched out his arms and almost shouted. His body froze there. At the same time, he held his breath and listened eagerly for any movement in the room to see if anyone noticed.
I could only hear another voice in the room saying: "If the predicament of the Gengxu siege were to happen again, no one would be able to bear it. I don't think we might have to move the capital this time." He spoke in a calm tone, which seemed to be indifferent.
No one was found on the top. Qi Beishan and Chang Sihao sighed softly at the same time. They felt their hearts beating wildly and their breaths were still unsteady. They heard the person in front of them say again: "It's not a big deal to move the capital. Barbarian people lack strategy.
Shaozhi, relying on the strong cavalry, comes and goes like the wind, he only knows how to plunder and commit adultery, but how can he use soldiers. With Li Chengliang here, he only needs to be transferred back to the capital. This man is brave and good at fighting, and he will definitely defeat the enemy." Another person said: "Li Chengliang is here.
Deputy Commander-in-Chief, I just made some achievements in breaking through the barbarians this year and was promoted by luck. How can I defeat my army? In my opinion, he is far inferior to Brother Ma, who is as good at using troops as you are."
Chang Sihao relied on Qi Beishan's grasp to stabilize his body and slowly regained his balance, thinking: "The person who claimed to be surnamed Yu must be Governor Yu Yaoting. The person in front is probably Ma Lincheng, Commander-in-Chief Ma. It turns out that they
We are discussing military matters and have nothing to do with the Qin family. Brother Chen and the others are overthinking this time. I am the king of the Tatars. I often lead cavalry to invade the border, bringing tens of thousands of people to the border. I know this. How can he
Are you going to raise troops again? Moving the capital is a big deal. There are hundreds of thousands of garrison troops in the capital. You must not be afraid. Why did Governor Yu make the matter so serious? "
Ma Lincheng said with a smile: "Brother Yu has made great achievements in politics, but he doesn't know how to serve in the army. Li Chengliang is resourceful and resourceful, and he is more than enough to deal with those Tatars."
Yu Yaoting said: "We are just outside. We have no one on our side. Let me tell you clearly. I have to go to Datong again. If this fatal place is shaken, can we still wear our hats securely?"
Ma Lincheng chuckled: "Brother Yu, we are so close on weekdays, why do we think of cheating on our brothers now? My brothers are from military backgrounds and don't have a bright mind, but when it comes to being cannon fodder, you still know how to stay away. Last year
Brave men like General Cui Shirong have died in battle, so where can I place my brother?"
Chang Sihao was a little confused after hearing this, and thought to himself: "Why do these two people talk like they're talking in circles, so unclear? Damn you, are you donkeys?"
"Brother, what are you talking about?" Yu Yaoting's voice said: "How can Cui Shirong be compared with you, brother? I am also thinking about the country, right? How famous is Qi Jiguang? His Qi family army only has three thousand people, but your sergeants are
Above 10,000, since there is nothing to do in the field, why not allocate half of it to support the defense. It will be easier to defend the city than to attack it. When the time comes, we only need to resist for a while. I have no patience. I will wait for them to change their route and then kill some more people.
You can receive merit and rewards from the imperial court, why not?"
Chang Sihao cursed in his heart: "Shameless! Fortunately, you are still a state official, and you can come up with such a bad idea of killing people to take credit for it."
Qi Beishan could hear that his breathing was a little rapid, and he quickly pressed his hand back, signaling him not to say anything.
Ma Lincheng said: "Brother Yu, you are making fun of your brother again. It is easy to defend the city. What will happen to Cheng Yunfeng? You see, brother is happy and free now. Only dogs will care about you when you are trapped in the city! If you want reinforcements from the court, that is
There is no gate. Have you forgotten what happened when I surrounded the capital? The emperor didn’t even curse! Besides, you don’t know about my soldiers? There are only five thousand people. The false report of the five thousand is just to get more.
It’s just wages.”
"Hey," Yu Yaoting laughed and said, "Brother Xian, can I let you suffer a loss? It's easy to avoid being cannon fodder. All you need to do is pull a quilt in front of you."
Ma Lincheng said: "It's easy to say, where can I pull him?"
