"It's a long way to go to Shangdang County, and the mountain road is difficult to travel. You can't reach it in less than twenty days. Master Zhen, you'd better go back by yourself." Lu Ming will not be fooled. Do you really think you will give money when you get there?
Surprise?
Why the hell don't you just say what a surprise is?
The army rested in place, set up tents, set up camps, made fires to cook, and treated the wounded.
Lu Ming pulled the prisoner with disabled hands aside and began to interrogate him. He did not need to ask directly, he only needed to use skills.
There are many branches in the espionage skill tree, including interrogation, intimidation, instigation of rebellion, rumors, incitement, torture, etc.
At the beginning, there is only the option of cross-examination. The information obtained through this option varies from person to person. If the other party does not say anything, there is no way to obtain the information.
And if you have a weak character, you may confess.
Half an hour later, there was no good piece of meat on the prisoner's body, and all of them were cut to pieces by Lu Ming.
Lu Ming wiped the bloody dagger clean on the opponent's clothes. Lu Ming already knew the identity of the prisoner.
I thought he was a famous general, but I thought too much.
The other party turned out to be a big fish!
A pretty big fish!
Just a big fish without much profit!
Kaku Gu, the son of the Xiongnu Chanyu of the Southern Xiongnu, and one of the sons of Yufuluo.
Yufuluo was a Xiongnu Chanyu who led troops to the Central Plains to assist the Eastern Han Dynasty in suppressing the Yellow Turban Uprising. He caught up with the rebellion in his own country and his father was killed. So he stayed in the Central Plains and joined forces with the Baibo Army to plunder Taiyuan, Hedong and other places.
Now they have turned into bandits. No matter whether they are forced to do anything or they have such intentions, they cannot escape the relationship.
In history, Cai Wenji was kidnapped because of them.
"Ding, triggering branch information, no reward."
"Side intelligence: Dong Zhuo's subordinate Zhang Ji sent someone to transport his family and his wife, Zou, to Bingzhou. Passing through Hedong County, they were targeted by the rebels entrenched in Anze County."
In addition, Lu Ming can also see the route of a convoy on the map. And on the map, the location of Anze County is only about two hundred miles away from here. It is indeed not far, but it is not close either.
Seeing this, Lu Ming looked at the information.
This is intelligence, not a mission.
Currently, there are almost no tasks for myself, the most is information.
How you use the information after you have it is your own business. You can choose to use the information to seek benefits, or you can use the information to turn a deaf ear and pretend that nothing happened.
Now that Zhang Ji's family is being targeted by the rebels, it means there is much more danger.
He can completely ignore it. Even if something happens, he will not be blamed.
And if you save Zhang Ji's family, you will definitely get Zhang Ji's thanks.
These are the two choices, to save or not to save.
However, Lu Ming simply ignored these two options and chose the third one. Kill someone with a borrowed knife and then take it for yourself!
Normally speaking, there are two choices: to help or not to help. But what Lu Ming wanted to do was to let the rebels kill almost all the private guards sent by Zhang Ji, and then take action himself, pretending not to recognize them, and then take the Zou family as his own!
Even if Zhang Ji knew about it, he could pretend not to know her, because he had never met Zhang Ji's wife Zou before, and it could be said that it was a trophy obtained after killing the rebels, implying that Zou had been captured by the rebels.
And if a woman is captured, will she still be intact?
While making Zhang Ji sick, he still doesn't blame himself. This is simply killing two birds with one stone!
I will not offend Zhang Ji, and I can get the Zou family legally!
This is simply killing two birds with one stone, eating two fish with one fish!
And the most important thing is that the Zou family also left a strong mark in history. After Zhang Xiu surrendered, he was taken in by Cao Cao. As a result, Zhang Xiu rebelled, Cao Cao defeated Wancheng, Cao Ang, Dian Wei, Cao Anmin died in battle, and many other things.
Being able to make Cao Cao kill a general, a son, and a nephew to get her is considered a legendary woman, which shows how beautiful she is.
Looking at the signs on the map, Lu Ming had a plan in mind. So he went out to gather the soldiers, and happened to meet Zhen Yao again, who stuck to him like a dog-skin plaster.
"What's the matter with you? Leave quickly. This is a powerful military camp. No outsiders will be left." Lu Ming didn't want to live with someone like this who couldn't do anything good.
It's not that the other party is poor. If he is a poor guy who can't squeeze out any money, even if he is forced to do so, he can't get it out, so that means nothing!
But Zhen Yao was different. He relied on the Zhen family, which was a big business, and it was also a business and official family. To spend a hundred gold to send him away, what is the difference between sending him away and sending him away as a beggar?
Since you think of him as a beggar, don't blame him for being rude!
How could Zhen Yao dare to leave? He still had something to say, that is, the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans had blackmailed the aristocratic families around Jizhou, and the Zhen family was naturally no exception.
The Zhen family refused to give money, and other families also refused to give money. As a result, the Yellow Turban rebels captured the city and captured the land, leaving not even a tomb behind.
Now if you want to give money, you have to double it several times, almost giving one-third of the Zhen family's property. How is this possible!
If you are riding a tiger and it is difficult to get off, you don't have to worry if you are in Wuji County. If the Yellow Turban rebels come over, they can be let in vertically and carried out horizontally.
But aristocratic families don't just rely on these, they also have to circulate, make money, and have contacts.
If it is attacked and plundered every time, the power will be damaged.
Therefore, there are only two ways before us, either compromise or destroy the Yellow Turbans.
It's just the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans, even the imperial army can't destroy them.
Most of the Taihang Mountains are deep mountains and old forests. You don't know how you will die if you go in. It is easier said than done to eradicate them!
"Sir, I can write a letter and ask the nearest trading house to prepare three thousand catties of corn, five hundred catties of meat, one thousand gold and silver, and a beauty to give to you. I just ask you to take action and annihilate the rebels in Anze County." Zhen Yao had no choice but to maximize his bargaining chips.
"Oh? Okay, just let them prepare it. I will go and get it myself, and when I get the things, I will take action. You can go to Luoyang to find out. I can't keep up with my words. I pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. I am a good boy!" Lu Ming was a little surprised. Since you can eat two fish, you can also eat three fish.
Besides, these things are the best if they are available, and it doesn't matter if they are not available.
