Chapter 1965

When Xue Zheng woke up, he felt refreshed and relaxed. This was the first time he slept so comfortably since he received this task. He dreamed in his sleep last night that he completed the task very smoothly, such as

Like killing a chicken, he killed the Joseon Crown Prince who humbly begged for his life, and then quietly withdrew from Haihan Kingdom, and received an extremely generous reward after that.

Xue Zheng believed that this dream was a very auspicious sign. Although he encountered various problems after arriving in Danzhou, they were basically solved quickly and properly. Speaking of the help Huo Fei provided him, it was indeed

He is the biggest. Although this money man is desperate for money, at least the news of the sale is relatively reliable. Xue Zheng even considered whether to take this guy away with him when he evacuated Danzhou. After all, as long as this thing is started, it will

The information channel will definitely be exposed. When the government investigates afterwards, Huo Fei will definitely be involved. If he is caught, he will die.

However, Huo Fei seemed to have other plans for this matter, and had no intention of asking for help from Xue Zheng to escape. But after thinking about it, Xue Zheng felt that it was understandable. After all, Huo Fei was a local snake in Danzhou, and he probably had many more ways to escape than he did.

There is really no need to sacrifice the near for the distant. As for the pros and cons, this shrewd underground broker must have already weighed and understood it, and he is probably just unfounded.

On the morning of the last day, Xue Zheng ordered his troops to assemble near Yangyue Village, leaving only two people in Danzhou City to continue inquiring about news. He also specially asked them to change to an inn to stay. After all, Xue Zheng and his group

After taking action, we must quickly evacuate Danzhou, and if we want to track the impact of this incident on Haihan, we must keep people here so that we can understand the government's reaction and attitude at the first time. And one of them will be the crown prince of Joseon.

After the last visit near Danzhou City was completed, it was confirmed that he would continue to Yangyue Village, and then he hurried to meet Xue Zheng and others.

In order to avoid attracting unnecessary attention, Xue Zheng specially asked his men to set off in several groups, and bought more than ten horses from a carriage and horse shop in the north of the city to take them to the vicinity of Yangyue Village as a means of evacuation after the operation.

Transportation.

Of course, they did not realize that the entire action process was under the ubiquitous surveillance of the Haihan Security Department. Even the price of the horses they bought at the horse racing shop and the condition of the horses were reported to them immediately.

Here is Zhang Qianzhi, who is taking command in the city.

For today's closing operation, Zhang Qianzhi has assembled more than 50 security agents in Danzhou, as well as dozens of capable personnel drawn from the local army and police, and organized these personnel into more than ten teams

, and implemented strict monitoring of the movements of Xue Zheng and his group. In addition, the local army and navy in Danzhou have also been mobilized and dispatched troops to key areas for control at the request of the Ministry of Security.

Such a large-scale joint operation is relatively rare not only in Danzhou, but even in Haihan in recent years. For Zhang Qianzhi, this is actually the first time he has directed such a large operation alone. It can be said to be an extraordinary feat.

A small test. If it is successfully completed, of course it will be a success. It will add another dazzling achievement to your personal resume. There is hope for subsequent rewards and promotions. But if it is failed, the impact will be big or small, and the result is hard to say.

.

However, Zhang Qianzhi didn't feel much nervous at the moment, but more excited. This process of watching the prey being led into the trap step by step by the bait he laid was indeed an extraordinary and wonderful feeling.

At this time, Zhang Qianzhi and Xue Zheng, two men who belonged to different camps and were hostile, had the same wish, that is, they hoped that this night would come sooner.

On the itinerary Xue Zheng received, the last item to visit that day was a private printing workshop located to the west outside Danzhou City. Most of the industries that are closely related to publicity, such as printing and publishing, are currently in

Under direct or indirect official control.

Although this printing workshop is a private property, its boss has a close relationship with the local government. If not, he would not be able to obtain the metal movable type produced by Tiandu Industrial Zone, which greatly outperforms traditional production costs and efficiency.

Engraving and printing. Some of the teaching materials currently used by many local academies are also printed by this printing workshop.

Visiting this place was a fake itinerary prepared by the Ministry of Security, but it was strictly carried out in accordance with real foreign affairs activities. Many local senior officials, including Zhang Xin, came here, and the surrounding security measures were in place. Even

The local people in Danzhou would really think that this was the prince of the Joseon Dynasty coming to visit. As for the two men Xue Zheng stayed in Danzhou City to observe, there was no way to directly sneak into the workshop, and of course they were unable to distinguish between them.

It's true.

The "visit" lasted for about an hour, and everyone left the printing workshop and took a carriage back to Danzhou City. According to the official itinerary, there will be a banquet for the crown prince of Joseon later.

After the dinner, the Joseon Prince will set off to Yangyue Village, Sandu Town to enjoy the night view.

According to the information collected by Xue Zhengyangyue Village, the official set up several large tents for North Koreans next to the "Yantang Yangyue" scenic spot, so that the Joseon prince could visit the place after seeing the scenery.

After a night's rest, you can go directly to Danzhou Port and leave by boat the next morning.

This kind of itinerary seems to explain why senior officials in Danzhou did not accompany this last trip. Xue Zheng visited the local area and found that it was a completely rural environment. The living conditions were definitely not as convenient as those in Danzhou City, and mosquitoes inevitably breed by the water.

, probably only literati who pursue elegance would make a special trip to such a rural place to admire the moon. The local high-ranking officials must be aware of the local situation in Yangyue Village, and naturally they are not willing to go there to stay overnight. It is also Huo Fei's fault.

This place of visit recommended to the official was actually recognized. Xue Zheng thought about it and felt that the large sum of money he sent out should have played a role. If he could get it in the end, the money would be well spent.

Xue Zheng and his group stayed near Yangyue Village for nearly two days to confirm the strength of the security measures taken by the government here. The pretended identity of grain merchants by their group also played some role at this time, and their pretense and Yang

Several farmers in Yuecun reached an agreement to purchase grain and took the initiative to pay a deposit. By the way, they also got more information from the locals.

No matter how you look at it, this scenic spot arranged by the Haihan official for the North Koreans is a huge security hole, and so far, Xue Zheng has not seen the armed personnel sent by the official to perform security tasks here, only some servants in the pond

A tent was set up and some soft couches, fruits, drinks and other things were brought, presumably all for the Koreans.

There wasn't much space by the pond, and they had to admire the moon at night. Xue Zheng estimated that he wouldn't even be able to light a bonfire, and would only be able to light up a few torches at night, which was exactly what they needed to launch an attack.

Xue Zheng's action plan was simple and clear. He divided his men into three groups and hid in several selected locations in the dense forest near the pond. At that time, the two groups were responsible for launching pincer attacks on the target from both sides, while the remaining group was responsible for intercepting

Target retreat. After the operation is over, they will ride northward on horseback overnight and arrive at a small fishing port on the northern coast called Huangsha Port before dawn. There will be an empty ship carrying supplies for them to evacuate Hainan Island.

"Brothers, if everything goes well, we will have landed on the other side by this time tomorrow. The reward you will receive by then will be enough to live on for the rest of your life! But when the time comes for you to fight tonight, you must fight to the death. You must not

You have selfish thoughts! If anyone is afraid of fighting or shrinks from the battle, don’t blame Xue for being ruthless when the time comes!"

While having dinner, Xue Zheng made the last pre-war mobilization. However, his theoretical level was limited and he couldn't make any big reason for the current task. He could only coax and scare everyone to cheer up.

Of course, the main reason was that he really didn't understand why the superiors were so eager to deal with a foreign prince. No one had given him a detailed explanation of the meaning and purpose behind this.

But it doesn't matter. The group of people he commanded this time are a group of desperadoes. They are all ruthless people who have taken more than one life from their subordinates. Basically, everyone took this job for the generous rewards.

If the mission was really greedy for life and afraid of death, they would never come to this place. Now that they are only one night away from success, these people will definitely not give up at this time.

As expected, everyone actively expressed that they would definitely strive for the first prize tonight. After all, the head of the Joseon Crown Prince was worth a lot of money.

After simply eating dry food in the wild, this group of counterfeit grain dealers waited for news from the direction of Danzhou at the agreed place to confirm whether the last step of action could be implemented.

After nightfall, a fast horse came near Yangyue Village. The rider pulled the reins and turned over before the horse stopped, landing lightly on the ground. This showed that he was a good equestrian. After the man dismounted,

He took the reins and trotted for a few steps, then tied his mount to a small tree on the side of the road, and then disappeared into the forest in a flash.

This man was one of Xue Zheng's men who stayed in the city to observe the movements of the Koreans. The main reason for choosing him was his skillful riding skills. Moreover, this man had very good eyesight and could even ride a horse and run fast at night.

Exactly the qualities required for this task.

The news that this subordinate brought to Xue Zheng finally made him feel a big stone in his heart. The crown prince of Joseon had set off from Danzhou City, crossed the Beimen River, and then took a carriage to Yangyue Village. It was confirmed that

This is also very simple. After all, after dark, he can take a boat across the Beimen River, and there are high-end carriages waiting to see him off on the river bank. The only people who can enjoy such treatment are the Joseon princes who visited Danzhou.

"Have you ever seen clearly how many people are accompanying them?" The issue that Xue Zheng is most concerned about at the moment is the security force around the North Koreans. This is directly related to the difficulty of carrying out the next attack and the chance of success. If the other party brings

When one or two hundred armed guards leave the city, there is no need for my group to rush forward and die.

However, Huo Fei has said before that Yantangyangyue is a place that values ​​tranquility and is not suitable for large groups of people to enter. The officials will probably not arrange too many entourage specially for the Crown Prince of Joseon. Among the government personnel who came here to make preparations before

There were no armed guards, which shows that the official does not think this place is a dangerous place.

Of course, if the itinerary had not been leaked in advance, Xue Zheng would never have thought that North Koreans would come to such a place to spend the night. In theory, it is indeed a very safe place. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think again

You have to sigh in your heart that having money is really easy.

Now that the Koreans are already on the road, the next action is to take action as the arrow is on the string. Xue Zheng immediately ordered that the troops be divided into three groups and enter the predetermined fighting positions. When the Koreans arrive here, they will follow his signal to launch.

However, what Xue Zheng never expected was that the Korean convoy stopped shortly after leaving the Beimen River, while several people in several villages around Yangyue Village quietly gathered.

Hundreds of Haihan soldiers have set up roadblocks and armed checkpoints on several rural roads leading from Yangyue Village to the surrounding areas.

"It's almost time, let's start." In Danzhou City, Zhang Qianzhi confirmed the time and then issued the order to close the net.

The inn where the only accomplice of Xue Zheng who stayed in Danzhou City stayed was sealed by a group of armed men who suddenly came to the door. Although this person was extremely alert, he jumped out of the window decisively after hearing the noise outside and tried to get out.

He had long expected to escape through an alley, but he never expected that more than a group of people would come to arrest him. There were also about a dozen people waiting for him silently in the alley behind the inn.

As soon as he landed, a fishing net was thrown in front of him, covering his whole body in it. Before he could take out his dagger to cut the net, he was swiped on his calf with a stick and fell to the ground immediately.

Then at least five or six people rushed forward, pressing his hands, legs, and head, and pressed him tightly, making him unable to struggle at all.

He was frightened and was about to struggle desperately when he heard a rough voice warning: "Don't move and you will suffer less. If you move again, your hand, tendons and hamstrings will be cut off immediately! We only need to keep you alive."

, doesn’t care whether you are complete or not! If you don’t want to become disabled, then don’t move!”

Hearing such a warning, he really didn't dare to move. The other party did not threaten life and death, but cutting off hands and feet was obviously more feasible. He himself was a man in the world, and he knew that there were so many ambushes on the other side.

Of course, it was no joke to have someone capture him. This kind of thing could be done if he said it for sure. Although he was not afraid of death, he did not want to suffer too much torture before death, so he stopped struggling immediately.

But at this moment, he couldn't help but have a thought in his mind. He was captured in Danzhou City. What would happen to Xue Zheng and others who went to Yangyue Village to set up an ambush?
Chapter completed!
