The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 52 The General's Wrath

The original three-entry courtyard of Costin has been requisitioned by Jiang Chuan as a temporary General's Mansion. A plaque made of long wooden boards is temporarily hung beside the gate, and Liu Ji wrote "General's Mansion" in three large regular script characters.

The people in Guanjiatun have been resettled, Jiang Chuan summoned Ran Wu, Liu Ji, and Xu Zhu to the conference hall to discuss matters.

"Ran Wu, is the journey going well?" Jiang Chuan asked Ran Wu after sitting down.

"My lord, on the way to get it, I found a man who was seriously injured and dying. After trying my best to treat him, I learned from his mouth that this person belonged to another person named Guoshantun. He said that the Tartars attacked their village. Many people were killed, women and children were taken away, and the existence was burned by the Tartars. This person escaped with his life. According to him, there were at least 300 Tartars who attacked this time.”

Ran Wu said in a deep voice.

"What? It's a Tartar again?" Jiang Chuan suddenly became angry when he heard this, and the veins on the back of his hand clutching the armrest of the chair burst out.

"Where is this person now?" Jiang Chuan asked in a deep voice after taking a deep breath to calm himself down.

"He was seriously injured and died, and his subordinates buried him on the spot."

Jiang Chuan fell silent. He found that although he had experienced it once, he still couldn't feel at ease when he heard this kind of thing.

"Do you know where this backer is?" Jiang Chuan asked again.

"My subordinates later asked the people in Guanjiatun. Some people said that there is a small village about 50 miles to the east of them. It is called Kaoshantun because it lives against the mountains."

"These Tartars are retaliating against us for sniping them last time. These bastards, scum and beasts have no guts to attack me. They will only attack these innocent people. I will kill them all in the future. Keep!"

Jiang Chuan finally couldn't hold back, his anger made him stand up suddenly, grabbed a blue and white porcelain teacup at hand and threw it out, smashing it heavily on the ground, the porcelain splashed, and one of them almost made Liu Ji's head explode.

No matter how old-fashioned he is, no matter how calm he is, he is still a vigorous young man in his 20s, and he is also a young man who comes from a peaceful modern society and is used to stability and prosperity.

No matter how many times he read about this kind of inhumane behavior like a beast, but after he experienced the tragedy in Guanjiatun, that tragic scene could no longer be erased from his mind.

Although he didn't see what happened in Guashantun this time, he must be able to imagine that the scene was definitely more tragic than the one in Guanjiatun.

He knew that these Tartars were seeking revenge.This group of beasts is using this heinous method to mock and revenge themselves.

He knew that he had no obligation to save everyone, and he didn't have the strength at present, but he still couldn't help feeling angry and guilty.

Jiang Chuan's anger made the atmosphere in the conference hall suddenly tense, and no one spoke.

Ran Wu and Xu Zhu are Jiang Chuan's subordinates, they obey Jiang Chuan in everything, and maintain the solemnity of soldiers at all times.

It was the first time Liu Ji saw Jiang Chuan get so angry, which surprised him a bit, but besides the accident, he also felt the rare innocence of the young man in front of him. Officials who are only seeking personal gain and who have no regard for life and death are much better.

If you have a pure heart, you will have an enterprising heart. If you have an enterprising heart, you may make mistakes because of the impatience of young people. This requires counselors like him to advise.

Liu Ji found that the young man in front of him seemed to be more and more in line with the image of the person he had been looking for in his heart.

His character is changeable, but his anger and hatred for barbaric peoples has always been the same, and his sympathy and love for poor people have always been the same.This kind of innocence is the most rare.

But it will take time, and time will tell.

If you want me, Liu Ji, to completely convince you, you must submit a qualified answer.

No one in the meeting hall noticed that in the corridor outside the house, a blue slender figure stared thoughtfully at a piece of broken porcelain that splashed out of the room and fell on the ground. After a while, it fell silent. leave.

After realizing his gaffe, Jiang Chuan also calmed down, his face regained his calm, and he sat back on the chair again.

"Military division, what do you think?"

"I think that this incident is not necessarily for the Tartars to take revenge on us. In recent years, the frontier army has become weaker and weaker, and they have basically lost nothing against the Tartars. As long as the Tartars appear, the officers and soldiers will only Being able to hide in the city and dare not come out to fight with them made the Tartars more and more unscrupulous, and from time to time they attacked and captured our Daming border people. There is not necessarily a causal relationship between this incident in the Kaoshantun and the Guanjiatun incident last time, so The General must not blame himself for this."

Liu Ji said slowly, although he was comforting Jiang Chuan, what he was talking about was indeed an objective situation.

What he was most afraid of was that Jiang Chuan would take people out to find the Tartars to be tough in a fit of anger, and that would be troublesome, so these words were also tactful advice.

"Military commander, don't worry, the Lord does not mobilize the army out of anger. I still understand the truth." Jiang Chuan understood the meaning, and said slowly with a sigh of relief.

Seeing Jiang Chuan like this, Liu Ji secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"If Ran Wu hadn't met the surviving commoner, we would still know nothing about it. Why? Because we don't have our own eyes, that is, we don't have sources of information, so we are slow to respond. It seems that it is time to form our team The intelligence system is gone," Jiang Chuan said after pondering for a while.

"The general's worries are so great that his eyes and ears are unclear and his limbs can't move. This is indeed a major event that needs to be prepared from now on." Liu Ji nodded in agreement.

"Military division, as far as you know, what methods do countries in the world use to spy on intelligence?" Jiang Chuan asked humbly.

"Yongjian is extensive and profound. It can be roughly divided into three types: official, private, and scout. The so-called official, in short, means that various countries send people into other countries, mix in officialdom, use official status and connections to inquire about news, and collect intelligence. , instigate rebels; the so-called civilians use businessmen as a cover, use business as a cover, or sit in business, or do business, use the identity of a businessman to collect various types of information, and make friends with various people who instigate rebellion; There are scouts out to inquire about the news."

Liu Ji told what he knew.Scholars like them have learned a lot, so they know a little about all aspects.

After Jiang Chuan confirmed Liu Ji's words with some espionage knowledge he had read in books or on TV before, he knew that it was probably not bad, and secretly thought that the old fox still had something to tell.

"So, at present, it seems that the only ones we can use immediately are military scouts. As for the officials and businessmen, it's not a day's work, and we don't have any suitable candidates yet." Jiang Chuan added.

"The general is wise." Liu Ji nodded.

Ran Wu, from today onwards, we will select suitable candidates from the army to set up a scouting team to carry out investigations within [-] miles around us every day, summarize the situation and record it every day.Especially in the direction of Tartar and Datong.You are responsible for this matter yourself. "

Jiang Chuan pointed at Ran Wu and ordered solemnly.

"Promise! This subordinate will definitely live up to the mission." Ran Wu accepted the order generously.

　The agreed third update is here, and it could have been published before midnight, because everyone knows that there was an earthquake, so the time was delayed, thinking that the promise was not fulfilled, so I got up in the middle of the night and coded out this chapter.For the sake of working so hard to get up in the middle of the night to feed the mosquitoes, please vote for Mr. Jiang with your recommendation votes. He needs your encouragement and support very much.
