Chapter 5057 Spy Battle Nankang Dragon Boat Festival
Liu Muzhi's eyes narrowed slightly: "Tao Gong, Tao Gong, your family's power is really spread all over Jingzhou and Jiangzhou. It is very powerful and capable."
Tao Yuanming said calmly: "What's the matter? Our ancestor Kan Gong was an official in Jiangzhou when he first entered the official career. He knew the local situation very well. He met the ancestors of the Bao family when he was an official in Jiangzhou.
people, so they followed them all the way. However, after they conquered Su Jun's rebellion, they were unwilling to follow their ancestor Kan Gong to settle in Jingzhou. Instead, they returned to their hometown of Nankang and became local officials. However, their descendants did not get along well.
It's great, from being an official in the county, he became a powerful landowner, even a robber and bandit."
Zhu Chaoshi nodded: "Indeed, I have checked the situation of the Bao family. They settled here due to their merits a hundred years ago, but after a few generations, their titles have long been gone, and they have been squeezed out by other families, and they cannot gain a foothold in Nankang City.
, I could only go to Lianhua Village, which has been built by generations and has become a mountain fortress that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. However, I can’t understand why the Bao brothers would give up on such a dangerous place.
How about leaving it to outsiders to guard? Even if we enter the city, we must at least keep our own people in the nest."
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Because the Bao family has always been dissatisfied with the ancestor's choice, they felt that if they had followed their ancestor Kangong to Jingzhou instead of returning to his hometown, it would definitely not have been the result of being rushed to the mountains later. They stayed close to each other in the mountains.
Over the past hundred years, I have suffered a lot and I never want to go back. I just want to go to the city and live a good life. Any nephew who is forced to stay will make a big fuss, and even almost have a fight at one point."
"In the end, the Bao brothers had no choice but to do the next best thing and leave as a whole, but Bao Haozi and his two sons stayed in Nankang City. By controlling Ding Dezhang's family members, they asked Ding Dezhang to guard Lianhua Village for them. Bao
Haozhi went on an expedition with the army of monster thieves, hoping to capture Jiankang City and then settle down in Wudi to live a good life. Of course, if the monster thieves really succeeded, Bao Haozi's family would also have to go there."
Yu Yue sneered disdainfully: "I still think about the dream of going to Jiankang to establish a new dynasty. Humph, I really didn't let the man named Bao die in Jiankang. It's really God's fault. But he won't do it this time.
Give them another chance. Mr. Tao, this can be regarded as your Tao family cleaning up the family and eliminating traitors for the country."
Tao Yuanming nodded: "The ancestors of the Bao family were in Jiangzhou and had joined the refugee army that rebelled at the beginning of the Jin Dynasty. Later, they were recruited and pardoned by their ancestors, Kan Gong, but they did not change their treacherous nature, and they changed again after arriving in Nankang.
They often robbed passing caravans and offended other families, so they joined forces to crowd them out and drove them into the stronghold. Therefore, the family named Bao are all born rebellious. They will not be given another chance this time. They must
Complete destruction is the key. However, the key to our plan is whether we can rob Ding Dezhang's family members. Otherwise, even if we can eliminate Ding Dezhang through the secret passage, if someone from the Bao family comes to check, or with Bao Hao,
It would be difficult to let him see the flaw during the connection. At this time, we can only open up the battle and fight. Even if we win, we will lose a lot of good brothers."
Zhu Chaoshi said seriously: "As long as there is clear information that lets us know where the Ding family members live and the families of other wealthy landowners, I will have a way to rescue them from the city."
Tao Yuanming was a little surprised: "What can be done about this? Those families live in scattered places, and Bao Haozi also sent people to monitor them in the city."
Zhu Chaoshi smiled slightly: "There are still six days until the Dragon Boat Festival. According to the custom of Nankang, during the Dragon Boat Festival, people will go out of the city to row dragon boats to commemorate Qu Yuan. As long as we get in touch with the Ding family first, we can replace a son from the Ding family, and then
Take this person to Lianhua Village and win Ding Dezhang's trust. Then we can rescue the Ding family and other family members during the Dragon Boat Festival. We can also keep some servants in the Ding family's mansion.
People, disguise themselves as Ding Dezhang's family members, and I can also send some subordinates to pretend to be them and lurk in the old houses in the city. In this way, Haozi Bao will not realize that there is a trick. As long as it takes a day or two, something big will happen.
It’s decided.”
Having said this, he looked at Tao Yuanming: "How long will it take for Bao Haozhi's army to reach Nankang?"
Tao Yuanming said: "About eight days later, we arrived in Nankang. However, Bao Haozhi is a cunning and cunning person. He takes the mountain road to gain time and also considers the risks. Judging from his travels in Jiangzhou these days, he has always been
First, he sent two thousand people from the front army to pass through, under his own banner, and even sent his subordinates to pretend that he was in the front army, but he himself was in the rear army. In other words, he was ready to escape at any time. In order to protect
He himself and his rear army have more than 3,000 people, and they have also gathered most of the elite soldiers and old thieves."
Zhu Chaoshi's eyes flashed coldly: "That's great. As long as we rescue Ding Dezhang's family and cooperate with him, we can set up an ambush in Lianhua Village, first kill Bao Haozhi and his elite rear army, and then replace them
I will go to Nankang City with my armor. When the time comes, I will cooperate with the ambushed troops in the city, and we can capture Nankang City in one fell swoop. Humph, last time the monster thieves took advantage of the market day to sneak attack Nankang City. This time, I will retaliate in kind.
, give it all back in the same way!"
Tao Yuanming smiled and said: "This is the best. In my original plan, I could never think of a way to rescue the Ding family. If you have this Dragon Boat Festival rescue operation, then naturally you don't have to worry about anything. However, several families
There are more than a hundred family members in total, can you really save them all?"
Zhu Chaoshi shook his head: "So many people can't do it. The most they can do is rescue the wives and sons of the Ding family and other families. However, I think what these people care about is only their wives and children. To say the least,
, only the wives and children of the Ding family can be saved, and the other families can be temporarily relieved. The number of people does not exceed twenty. I am sure that if there are more, I am afraid that the disguise will not be enough, and there are also female dependents, which may be needed.
Some female guards or spies can pretend to be here."
Having said this, he looked at Liu Muzhi: "Fat man, do you have anyone here who can accomplish this?"
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "You can still borrow ten female guards, but not more. However, Ding Dezhang's mother, wives, concubines, and daughters combined should not be that many."
Luo Longsheng smiled and said: "Not that many, only six or seven in total. Ten female guards are enough to disguise themselves. However, we must first obtain Ding Dezhang's token and make their family members willing to cooperate with us."
Liu Muzhi's eyes flashed coldly: "I will give you thirty elite spies to protect you. Mr. Tao, it's up to you to arrange it!" (End of Chapter)
