Chapter 835 The Boy and the Swordsman

Zhao Wujiang snapped his fingers and sat up straight. He thought about something.

Dugu Tianqing didn't speak after seeing Zhao Wujiang deep in thought. Now he saw Zhao Wujiang behaving like this and was a little surprised. What did Brother Wujiang think of?

The corners of Zhao Wujiang's mouth slowly raised into a gentle smile.

The Huotou Battalion is responsible for the logistics of the garrison. On weekdays, the soldiers and brothers in each camp have the most frequent contact. They are also the most suitable to fan the flames and spread rumors. At the same time, they are also the cheapest to manipulate the food, grass and baggage.

Therefore, the Huotou Camp is very important. If I were a spy, I would definitely infiltrate the Huotou Camp among the defenders first... Zhao Wujiang's mind slowly recovered. He looked at Dugu Tianqing and said seriously:

"Brother Tianqing, I want a list of the brothers in the Huotou Camp. The more detailed the better.

In addition, can you send a trustworthy person to quietly inquire about some activities in Huotou Camp in recent days?"

Dugu Tianqing was confused and couldn't understand the purpose of this move, but since it was Zhao Wujiang who spoke, he must have great trust.

He has a deep understanding of Zhao Wujiang's ability to prepare for a rainy day.

If Zhao Wujiang hadn't been alert and given him the elixir before, he might have been a corpse buried deep in the border gate now.

"We have to take action first..." Zhao Wujiang's thoughts and plans came flooding in, and he solemnly said to Dugu Tianqing:

"Brother Tianqing, if you send someone again to spread some news in a subtle way, they will say that you are suspected of being poisoned and seriously ill..."

"This is?" Dugu Tianqing frowned:

"Wouldn't this destabilize the morale of the military?"

Zhao Wujiang spoke with sincerity and earnestly explained:

“The root of the turmoil lies not in some remarks, but in what everyone realizes or thinks is going to happen behind the remarks!

The soldiers have heard cryptic remarks, thinking that Brother Tianqing will fall ill, and there will naturally be turmoil. But as long as you stand up at the critical moment and prove that you are safe and sound, the rumors will be self-defeating.

What we are spreading are rumors and cryptic news.

The reason why we do this is that the initiative must be in our own hands. Instead of letting others spread rumors and fabricate facts, we should be the first to create the situation they want.

Even if the situation is what they want, the situation is created by us, and the initiative to control it lies in our hands.

The second is that in order to lure the snake out of its hole, as long as the news spreads slowly and covertly, they will not miss this opportunity and will inevitably further fan the flames and start taking action.

As long as they make a move, we will have traces to catch them!"

Dugu Tianqing pondered deeply. He knew that the "they" Zhao Wujiang mentioned were spies lurking in Jubei City. This method could indeed be used to lure snakes out of their holes.

But he still has worries in his heart:

"If Zhao Yansi is pushed by his subordinates to take action after hearing the news, then he will be exploited by spies. Once he takes action, he will have confirmed that he does not get along with me and wants to replace me.

By eradicating the spy, but also exposing the matter between me and him to the eyes of my brothers in the army, wouldn’t it mean that Jubei City will fall into civil war?”

Zhao Wujiang shook his head slowly. Dugu Tianqing was familiar with the Art of War. He had read it, but he had not read it into his brain. He had not read it thoroughly, and he could not fully learn and apply it.

It is extremely simple to solve the Zhao Yansi line. You only need to use an allusion.

He leaned forward slightly and said seriously in Dugu Tianqing's ear:

"Brother Tianqing, I have a solution for this matter. When the time comes, you will..."

Dugu Tianqing's worried face slowly filled with a look of shock. He looked at Zhao Wujiang in shock, and for the first time he understood what it meant to be truly gentle and transparent.
