Chapter 331: Nine-tailed Fox vs. Nervous Knife (Part 2)

The first step of Zhuge Liang's carefully designed counter-espionage plan went very smoothly. After Shi Yunfeng, the personal soldier he arranged, put on Yuan Tan's uniform, Cui Yan came out to insert into a Yuan Tan's scout team. In the early morning, under the cover of several Yuan Tan's scouts, he was encountered as soon as he arrived. After a hasty encounter, several Yuan Tan's scouts lost and fled. Shi Yunfeng threw down his weapons and knelt in front of Xuzhou's scouts and surrendered.

As mentioned earlier, in order to obtain information about Mr. Guo Tu, Deputy Director Tao allowed his army to capture enemy scouts as much as possible for interrogation of confessions. The Xuzhou soldiers who caught the captives could also receive generous rewards. The Xuzhou scout team, which captured Shi Yunfeng alive, almost caught the prisoners as soon as they left the house. Of course, the team was extremely happy, so they hurriedly escorted Shi Yunfeng back to their camp to seek credit for rewards. As a result, Shi Yunfeng easily sneaked into the Xuzhou camp and completed the first step of Zhuge Liang's secret order.

The next thing was even simpler. After being held in a small tent, a low-level civilian official from Xuzhou Army led a few tiger-backed and bear-backed accomplices and lackeys. He quickly came to Shi Yunfeng and gave Shi Yunfeng two choices. One was to answer his questions honestly, avoid suffering from flesh and blood, and enjoy preferential treatment. The other was that Xuzhou soldiers used a whip to hold a tiger bench to help Shi Yunfeng speak. Shi Yunfeng was also very smart, and immediately kowtowed and said, "Don't worry, sir, sir, answer whatever the sir, and never dare to hide it at all. He just wanted sir to be kind to spare the sir."

"You are smart. As long as you confess, I will naturally not take your life." The low-level civil servant in Xuzhou sneered and sat opposite Shi Yunfeng in a big way. While picking up a pen to record the confession, he asked: "Name, name, origin, identity, and what is the name of the boss?"

"My Lord Hui, the villain is called Shi Yunfeng, and he has no name for Qianshou. "Shi Yunfeng replied quickly: "He is from Ceding, the south of Juancheng, Jiyin County, Yanzhou. The villain is just an ordinary soldier in the Jizhou army. The villain's sergeant is called Xie Pi, the leader of the villain is called Chen Xian, the Du Bo is called Yu Xin, and the general of the Tun is called Chen Tie. I don't know what the surname Wang is called. The villain's corpse belongs to Peng An, the general of Jizhou. General Peng is from Jizhou and is also the favorite general of the lord Yuan Tan."

"It's quite quick, what time did you become a prisoner?" the low-level civil servant in Xuzhou asked with a smile.

"I dare not deceive the Lord, it's the second time." Shi Yunfeng kowtowed and replied: "The villain was originally a soldier of Zheqiutun under Prime Minister Cao. At that time, the general of Zheqiutun was named Shen Lang, who was under Chen's prefect General Zhao Yan. Some time ago, the Jizhou army attacked Chen's territory, and General Zhao Yan died in battle. The villain surrendered to the Jizhou army with the general of Tun and was organized into General Peng's team."

"So it was Cao's old subordinate." The low-level civil servant in Xuzhou nodded and asked again: "Then I ask you, have you seen your military advisor Guo Tu?"

"Guo Tu?" Shi Yunfeng felt a stern in his heart and nodded quickly and replied: "I have seen it, and I have seen it. Military Commander Guo often goes to the camp where the villain team is. The villain has seen him several times, but he has never spoken to him."

"Very good. Then I'll ask you again. I heard that your military advisor Guo Tu has lost power now, but is there any such thing?" The low-level civil servant in Xuzhou asked again, and was afraid that Shi Yunfeng would not understand the literary words, so he added: "I heard that your military advisor Guo is no longer able to do it now. He can no longer speak in front of your lord. Many of your generals don't listen to him much. Have you heard of these things?"

"I've heard of it." Shi Yunfeng nodded quickly and said, "The little man has heard of this a long time ago. The little man also heard that the lord planned to withdraw Mr. Guo Tu's military advisor and replace Mr. Cui as military advisor, but he didn't know when it would be changed."

The low-level civil servant in Xuzhou was overjoyed and quickly asked a lot of topics about Mr. Guo Tu. The smart Shi Yunfeng followed Zhuge Liang's prior instructions and answered honestly as much as possible in exchange for the favor of the Xuzhou interrogator. As a result, after receiving a very satisfactory confession, the low-level civil servant in Xuzhou praised Shi Yunfeng, "Yes, I don't know that you know a lot, go to the prisoner-of-war camp and stay honestly. When the war is over, you can choose to join our army or go back to your hometown to farm."

"Sir, the villain wants to go back to his hometown to farm now." Shi Yunfeng said pitifully: "The villain was forced to serve in the army at the beginning. There is an 80-year-old mother at home and a three-year-old child at home. I have long since wanted to tie my head to my belt to eat. I beg you to be kind to the adults and let the villain go back to his hometown to farm. The villain can swear to the heaven that he will never dare to go back to the camp in Jizhou again."

"I have no such power to go to the prisoner-of-war camp." The Xuzhou official waved his hand and ordered: "Take him to the prisoner-of-war camp and tell the people there that Shi Yunfeng's confession was quite honest and could be given preferential treatment."

Two Xuzhou soldiers came up to escort Shi Yunfeng according to the order. Shi Yunfeng had no choice but to go to the prisoner-of-war camp to be imprisoned. At this point, even without Zhuge Liang's personal analysis, Shi Yunfeng, who could serve as Zhuge Liang's personal soldiers, had already guessed that the Xuzhou army had been desperately arresting and seizing the Jizhou scouts these days, probably just to collect information about Guo Tu! There may be something wrong with Mr. Guo Tu's side! Therefore, in addition to secretly happy that the mission was successfully completed, Shi Yunfeng also hoped that the prisoner-of-war camp of the Xuzhou army would not be strictly guarded enough and could give himself the opportunity to escape from the Xuzhou camp and rescue him and ask for rewards.

What made Shi Yunfeng ecstatic was that the Xuzhou prisoner-war camp built in the Houjun camp was close to the gate of the village, making it very convenient to escape. At the same time, because the war had just begun, the number of Yuan Tan's prisoners of war was pitifully small. Even if Shi Yunfeng had only only eight, there were only one team of auxiliary soldiers guarding the prisoner-war camp. While guarding the prisoner-war camp, this team of auxiliary soldiers was also engaged in some masonry work, so the guarding of the prisoner-war camp was not only not strict, but also loose.

Shi Yunfeng was even more happy. After being taken to the prisoner-of-war camp, he, like several Yuan Tan army prisoners who were intact, were not handcuffed and shackled. Although he was arranged to work hard with stone chiseling bullets, he was able to move freely within the prisoner-of-war camp. However, two prisoners of Yuan Tan army were covered in scabbards and were arranged to carry heavy rock bullets, and were bullied and beaten. Shi Yunfeng asked the other prisoners carefully and found out that the two prisoners refused to confess after being captured, so he was punished to do hard work and forcibly shackled to prevent escape. Prisoners who honestly confessed like Shi Yunfeng were treated preferentially and did not even have to wear shackles at night.

"Okay! It seems that there is hope to escape!" After peeking at the village railing not far away, Shi Yunfeng was secretly happy, and then he hurriedly swung hammers and carved stones to create circular shells for the Xiangyang cannon of the Xuzhou army, and also used his hard work to exchange for Xuzhou guards to take it lightly.

If things continue to develop like this, our master Zhuge's tricks are basically in sight, and we can achieve complete success only one step away. The Xuzhou army wants to open a gap from the inside and break through the nearly terrifying Yuan Tan army camp, which will also turn into a mirage. However, in the afternoon...

"Are there any breaths? How many come out!"

Accompanied by a very arrogant and domineering voice, a Xuzhou high-ranking official covered in silk and satin led several tall guards in a brightly-clad manner into the prisoner-of-war camp with even more arrogant and domineering swaggers. The soldiers guarding the camp at both sides of the camp not only did not dare to stop them, but also knelt down on one knee to salute. The Du Bo, the Xuzhou auxiliary soldier who was guarding the prisoner-of-war camp, was even more surprised and rushed to the Xuzhou high-ranking official, kneeling down on both knees and saluting respectfully. Just as he was about to speak, the Xuzhou high-ranking official waved his hand at first and said in a big way: "Forgive me, gather the prisoners of war. I want to choose one to handle the job!"

"No." Xuzhou auxiliary soldier Du Bo sang Nuo loudly, kowtowed again before getting up, turned around and shouted to the prisoners of war in Jizhou: "Get together! Put down what you have in your hands and gather for me immediately!"

"Who is this man? He is so arrogant that he can't even match the military advisor Zhuge." With amazement in his heart, Shi Yunfeng quickly put down the half-chiefed stone bullet and gathered in front of the senior officials in Xuzhou with other prisoners of war. After a rough look at the senior official in Xuzhou, he pointed at Shi Yunfeng casually and shouted: "You, come out and go with me!"

"Me?" While Shi Yunfeng was wondering, Xuzhou auxiliary Du Bo had already kicked over and kicked Shi Yunfeng out of the queue. Several guards immediately stood behind the high-ranking official in Xuzhou. Without saying a word, he tied Shi Yunfeng with a rope, stuffed his mouth with a sack, and took another ** bag and put Shi Yunfeng into a sack and carried it away. Although Shi Yunfeng struggled desperately, he could not defeat four hands with both fists and was quickly carried out of the prisoner-of-war camp. At the same time, he was nervous and panicked, Shi Yunfeng actually forgot to pay attention to other answers between the high-ranking official in Xuzhou and the Du Bo Bo Bo Bo.

He was put in a sack and could not speak or look at him. He was dizzy and didn't know how long he had been carried away. Shi Yunfeng was finally placed on the ground. When the sack was untied, he finally adapted to the changes in light. Shi Yunfeng found that he was being carried into a small tent. The arrogant Xuzhou official sat in the middle, and there was a flattering guard behind him.

"What's the name?" The senior official in Xuzhou asked arrogantly. Shi Yunfeng, whose linen was already pulled away, answered honestly. The senior official in Xuzhou asked Shi Yunfeng's identity and hometown again. Shi Yunfeng answered truthfully, and emphasized his former identity as Cao Jun, but the senior official in Xuzhou didn't care about this at all. He just asked again: "Do you know Guo Tu?"

"Why is it Mr. Guo Tu again?" Shi Yunfeng was stunned at first, then nodded quickly and replied: "Report to the master, the villain knows that Mr. Guo Tu is our military advisor."

"It's good to know." The senior official in Xuzhou nodded, then lowered his voice and asked, "That adult now asks you, if I let you go back, can you quietly approach Mr. Guo Tu?"

"What are you asking about this?" Shi Yunfeng asked in confusion.

"Stop talking nonsense, answer honestly." The senior official in Xuzhou urged impatiently.

"This..." Shi Yunfeng hesitated for a moment and replied ambiguously: "Sir, it should be possible. The villain is a soldier under General Peng An, and General Peng An is the lord's beloved general. His relationship with Military Advisor Guo is quite good. Military Advisor Guo often goes to the camp where the villain is located, so the villain should have the opportunity to approach him quietly."

The senior official from Xuzhou smiled happily, and suddenly the guard behind him ordered: "Li Lang, bring some wine and food and give it to him."

The guard named Li Lang agreed, and soon ordered someone to get some good wine and dishes, and then let someone loosen his neck and let Shi Yunfeng sit next to him and eat and drink. Shi Yunfeng, who is still confused, is still a little afraid at first. Even if he says that the villain doesn't dare to be a villain, Li Lang smiled and said, "It's okay, sit down and eat. This is what we lords give you. Don't worry, we lords will talk to you."

Shi Yunfeng peeked at the senior official in Xuzhou. Seeing him smiling at him, Shi Yunfeng felt relieved and quickly sat on the desk to eat and drink. It was at this time that the senior official in Xuzhou smiled and said, "How is the taste of the wine and food? How is it compared to your Jizhou army?"

"It's much better than us, thank you for the reward." Shi Yunfeng nodded and replied - but Shi Yunfeng's words were not flattering. The wine and dishes given to him by the senior official in Xuzhou were indeed much better than those in the military camp of Jizhou. There were two dishes that Shi Yunfeng had never tasted in his life.

"Do you want to eat such good wine and good dishes in the future?" the senior official from Xuzhou asked with a smile.

"I think, of course I think." Shi Yunfeng said the truth again.

"Do you want to be promoted and make a fortune?" The senior official in Xuzhou asked with a pyramid scheme style: "You are just a little man in Yuan Tanpeng. Do you want to become a nobleman? Do you want to live in a high-rise house or a mansion? Do you want to ride a beautiful woman on a horse?"

"Sir, what do you mean?" Shi Yunfeng, who was Zhuge Liang's personal soldier, began to pretend to be confused.

"Don't ask me what I mean, as long as you answer whether you want to?" the senior official in Xuzhou said with a smile.

"The villain said, I thought, of course I thought." Shi Yunfeng replied embarrassedly: "The villain even dreams."

"Very good." The senior official in Xuzhou slapped the table in front of him and said with a smile: "I'm Shi Yunfeng, right? You guy's luck. I just saw the prisoners caught by our army and found that you guys are the most blessed. As long as you help me do something, I will promote you to Dugong and reward you with 10,000... No, I'll reward you with 20,000 yuan!"

"Really?" Shi Yunfeng pretended to be surprised, and was even more ecstatic in his heart, and he thought to himself: "Does he want me..."

"Of course it's true." The senior official in Xuzhou smiled even more warmly, saying: "If you don't want to join the army, I will grant you a tax collector in the city gate to ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. I will also reward you with 20,000 yuan, and ask you to buy a wife and a concubine. From now on, there will be a woman covering you with quilt every night."

"Sir, you are the villain's rebirth parents!" Shi Yunfeng hurriedly left the seat and kowtowed, saying flatteringly: "If you have any assignment, the villain must go through fire and water, go up the mountain of swords and go down the sea of ​​fire, and never frown."

"I don't want to go up to the mountain of swords or sea of ​​fire. Just send a letter." The senior official from Xuzhou took out a sealed letter from his arms and said with a kind smile: "I will arrange for you to go out of the camp later. You will take this letter back to the camp in Jizhou. Then find a way to hand this letter to Mr. Guo Tu, and then bring Mr. Guo Tu's reply back. I will fulfill the promise I just gave you."

"Is there such a coincidence in the world?" Shi Yunfeng was so surprised that he almost burst out laughing. He was ordered to deliberately capture and spy on Xuzhou military aircraft with a bitter trick, but he happened to be selected as a secret envoy by a senior official of the Xuzhou army. He sent him back to the camp to deliver a letter to Yuan Tanjun's No. 2 person! Such a good thing is not that money is lost in the sky, but that gold is lost in the sky.

"Why? Don't dare to go back?" Seeing that Shi Yunfeng did not answer, the senior official in Xuzhou asked again.

"Dare, dare." Shi Yunfeng nodded quickly and said, "The villain was captured by the army today. When you go back today, the villain can use the excuse to say that he was escaping halfway, and there is absolutely no problem."

"It is because I knew you were captured today that I chose you." The Xuzhou senior official smiled unpredictably, "Otherwise, how could I not pick on others for such a good thing?"

"This guy must have reviewed my interrogation record." Shi Yunfeng's heart was shattered.

"Boy, listen." Li Lang next to him grabbed Shi Yunfeng again and whispered in Shi Yunfeng's ear: "Remember, the letter from sir, must not be known to the second person except Mr. Guo Tu! If you really can't send it to Mr. Guo Tu, you would rather burn this letter than to let others see it! Do you understand?!"

"I understand! I understand!" Shi Yunfeng nodded repeatedly.

"Also, remember, if you dare to play tricks!" The senior official in Xuzhou also threatened: "You are from Chuiting in Juancheng, Jiyin County, Yanzhou? If you dare to play tricks, your parents, wife and children in Chuiting will not be able to escape!"

Shi Yunfeng showed a timid look and kowtowed repeatedly and said that he would never dare to play tricks. Then the senior official from Xuzhou handed the letter to Li Lang, and then ordered: "You personally bring people to send him out of the camp. When you get outside the camp, you will hand the letter to him and watch him go back! If you dare to play tricks, cut him down immediately!"

Li Lang agreed, and Shi Yunfeng asked tentatively again: "Sir, how can you find your noble name after you come back with the reply from Military Advisor Guo?"

"I am named Liu Ye and his courtesy name is Ziyang." The senior official in Xuzhou replied casually: "After you come back with Mr. Guo Tu's letter, you will go directly to the gate of our army camp and say you want to see me, and then someone will bring you to see me."

"Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang?!" Shi Yunfeng was so surprised that he almost shouted again, "Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang! The lord's scum clan relative, an important adviser under the traitor of Tao Ying! The letters he asked me to bring back must be related to the most important military information!"

The next thing was even simpler. Li Lang first brought a set of Xuzhou soldiers' outfits to Shi Yunfeng, then took Shi Yunfeng out of the Xuzhou camp. When there was no one in the distance, he asked Shi Yunfeng to change back to Yuan Tan's camp. Then he stared at Shi Yunfeng back to Yuan Tan's camp. It was not until he watched Shi Yunfeng walk near Yuan Tan's camp from afar that Li Lang led a few Yang Changshi's confidant soldiers back triumphantly, and returned to Xuzhou camp when it was dark, and reported the good news to Yang Changshi who was drinking and eating meat in his tent.

"Did you see clearly? That kid has really returned to Yuan Tan Camp?"

Yang Changshi asked, after receiving Li Lang's accurate reply, Yang Changshi drank the remaining wine in the glass with satisfaction, then filled another glass of wine, raised his glass to the direction of Yuan Tanjun camp in the west and smiled: "My son, Guo Tu, I guess your head should land now. This glass of wine is counted as I will see you off. But you can rest assured that I will take care of your wife and daughter for you."

As he said that, Changshi Yang was about to sprinkle the wine on the ground to pay tribute to the old enemy Guo Tu, who made him wet his pants in public. However, when the wine glass was halfway through, Changshi Yang thought, but his face turned pale suddenly, and he screamed in surprise: "It's bad! I'm calculating, why have you forgotten the most important point?!"

"Sir, have you forgotten the most important point?" Li Lang asked quickly.

"I forgot, what if that young man named Shi Yunfeng really handed over the letter to Guo Tu?" Yang Changshi replied with a bitter face.

"Ah! Why did I forget this?" Li Lang also screamed, and then asked quickly: "Sir, if you call that boy Shi Yunfeng, what will happen if you really hand over the letter to Guo Tu? Will the lord know about this?"

"This..." Yang Changshi was a little embarrassed. After careful calculation, Yang Changshi hesitated and said: "There may be two consequences. One is that Guo Tu killed the boy named Shi Yunfeng and silenced the letter, so as not to be suspicious of Yuan Tan's husband. The other is that Guo Tu's husband is afraid of death, and he is also greedy for the glory and wealth I promised in the reputation of his lord. Maybe he will do what I asked in the letter."

"What are you asking Guo Tupifu to do in the letter?" Li Lang asked again quickly.

"The time to reply was agreed, and in the middle of the night, the fire suddenly set fire to the fire of Yuan Tan's granary, and to help our army capture the Guandu camp." The distraught Yang Changshi answered this.

By the way, there are still people who are more confused than Yang Changshi. They are still confused and confused. They are so confused that they don’t know if they hear or see their eyes wrong? They are so dizzy that they can’t believe what they hear and see what they see. And this person is so wise and close to demons, and their strategy is so profound that even Deputy Director Tao and Jia Lao’s poisonous creatures are helpless - Zhuge Liang.

"Is this accidental? Or intentional?" This was Zhuge Liang's thought, "Did the pottery thief treat me as a fool? He wanted to kill Guo Tu with such a shallow and loopholeful counter-espionage plan? Or, this was just a momentary negligence of the pottery thief? The sesame fell into the eye of the needle, and it happened that he could no longer choose the detailed work I arranged?"

"There is another possibility that the pottery thieves discovered that Shi Yunfeng was deliberately captured and found that Shi Yunfeng was arranged by our army. So they deliberately did this, wanting to alienate the relationship between our army and Yuan Tan's army, and even make our army and Yuan Tan's army turn against each other and kill each other to create opportunities for him to the pottery thieves? But..."
