Chapter 326: Successfully Infiltrated

"Exactly."

Butler Cui said that at this time, he could only hope that the name of the Cui family would be a little deterrent.

"That's great, to be honest, we are under the command of Duke Wu, the first army, the third division Lu Guangzu's troops. We are here to carry out our mission and need some help from shopkeeper Cui."

Zhao Zhiyuan showed his identity.

Is it Wu Jun?

Butler Cui was a little surprised because he hadn't heard that Wu Jun was fighting in Chuzhou.

At present, the newspapers in Nanjing are mainly reporting the war between Liu Hansan and Zhu Yihai, as well as various articles that angrily criticize Zhu Yihai.

The entire Nanjing public opinion was serving Wu Changqing's ascension to the throne, but there was no report on the war in the north.

Butler Cui didn't know Zhao Zhiyuan, so he couldn't confirm the authenticity of what Zhao Zhiyuan said.

However, he could not find a reason for Zhao Zhiyuan to deceive himself.

If Zhao Zhiyuan was a bandit, he would definitely be robbing or extorting directly at this time, and it would be impossible to cheat.

"I wonder what help the general wants us to give?"

Butler Cui asked.

Zhao Zhiyuan glanced at the guards, asking whether these people were credible.

Butler Cui understood what he meant and said, "They are the escorts of our famous Xingyuan escort bureau in Nanjing, and they are all loyal subjects of Wu Guogong."

After confirming the other party's reliable identity, Zhao Zhiyuan said: "That's it, we are going to sneak into Chuzhou City to perform a mission, and want to pretend to be your escort. At the same time, hide some weapons in the cargo."

"This......"

Butler Cui had a headache. Of course he was willing to help. After all, after helping, he could also earn favors and the military's favor.

However, the risks in this are not small. Once the hidden weapons are found by the Qing army, then the goods of their convoy will probably be confiscated by the Qing army.

This is a perfume soap worth 40,000 to 50,000 taels. Once it is lost, he can't bear the responsibility.

"Shopkeeper Cui, don't forget who gave you business opportunities and who gave you the opportunity to make money. Now you need to serve Wu Guogong, what reason do you have to refuse? If you don't agree, then I can only use the name of the army, Forcibly requisition your caravan."

Zhao Zhiyuan was slightly dissatisfied with the attitude of Butler Cui, and his tone became tougher.

Butler Cui could only cry in his heart when he heard the words, but did not dare to refute.

In the end, he agreed to Zhao Zhiyuan's request. Wu Jun's soldiers and the original guards changed their clothes and weapons, and then pretended to be the guards to go to Chuzhou.

As for the people in the original escort agency, except for one who left behind a person who was responsible for introducing the characteristics of the escort to Zhao Zhiyuan, the others returned to Nanjing first.

A group of soldiers were added to the caravan as guards, and the people in the caravan became even more panicked.

After all, everyone knew in their hearts that once their identities were exposed at the city gate, they would face hundreds or thousands of Qing troops, and they would definitely die.

Arriving at the gate of the city, the Qing army came up for a routine inspection.

They glanced at Zhao Zhiyuan and the others, and after finding out that these people were escorts, they didn't think much about it.

The focus of their attention is still the goods delivered by Butler Cui and others. Moreover, its purpose is not to seize any contraband, it is purely to ask for some benefits.

Those in charge of guarding the city gate are all low-level officers and soldiers at the bottom. They don't think too much, and they're not that far. They only care about petty profits.

Seeing that they wanted to check the goods, Butler Cui hurriedly shouted, "Mr. gentlemen, please be merciful. The valuables, perfume, and mirrors in my car are all fragile and can't stand your toss."

Hearing it was perfume and mirrors, the soldiers who inspected were all the more happier.

The person who sells perfume is rich and has a lot of oil and water.

"You say it's a mirror, it's a mirror? I don't believe it. I'll take it all off and check it."

Qing soldiers began to make things difficult.

Usually, businessmen should be sensible at times like this. If the merchants don't understand, then these soldiers will 'accidentally' break one or two pieces of goods when they are unloading.

In the past, when the Qing army said such things, Butler Cui would be angry and curse his mother.

But this time, he was very happy when he heard that the soldiers of the Qing army were deliberately making things difficult. This means that the Qing army soldiers just wanted to make some oil and water, rather than seeing the clues.

As a result, Steward Cui took out a piece of silver, which was as much as a dozen taels, and quietly stuffed it into the hands of the Qing army soldiers.

The soldier who received the money was almost stunned.

He just wanted to take the opportunity to extort some oil and water, but he didn't expect that the other party would be so generous when he killed him.

Although these 12 taels need more than a dozen of them to be divided equally, it is rich enough, and each person can be divided into a month's military salary. And this is the benefit of being effortless.

He beamed with joy, then waved his hand to let him go.

In this way, Wu Jun's weapons were successfully transported in.

After helping people to the end, after entering the city, Butler Cui arranged accommodation for Zhao Zhiyuan and others and provided food.

Zhao Zhiyuan and others started to contact other comrades in arms. According to the plan, they came to the East Gate at the agreed time and waited in a shop closest to the East Gate.

Wu Jun soldiers who successfully infiltrated arrived one after another, and were then taken to their temporary gathering place.

By the time it got dark, they had contacted a total of ninety-four soldiers, and eight lost contact.

These eight people may have gone in the wrong direction, or they may not have thought of entering the city.

If you let it go, you might get caught.

In short, any situation is possible, Zhao Zhiyuan has no choice but to continue to act according to the plan.

First find out the situation of the city gate, and then send someone out of the city the next day to find the Wu army's main force to report the situation.

In fact, Wu Jun's plan has many loopholes. If there is an accident in one link, the plan will fail.

However, the bad luck of Lu Guangzu and others seems to have ended. The liaison officer who went out of the city successfully arrived at the predetermined location, found the large army, and reported the situation.

When Lu Guangzu heard the report, he was very excited. He immediately took out a map and asked people to calculate the time of the march.

"Departing during the day is easy to arouse the enemy's alertness and will not have the effect of a surprise attack. I suggest starting tomorrow evening, so that you can arrive in Chuzhou in the early morning of the day after tomorrow, and then break in. In your sleep, give the enemy a fatal blow. ."

A staff officer calculated the distance and said.

"Can the soldiers bear it for five or six hours of continuous attack?"

Fang Ce was a little worried, running for five hours in a row was not an easy task. It would be funny if he ran to Chuzhou and became a dog because he was so tired that he didn't have the strength to kill the enemy again.

"It's only been more than five hours. Usually they are raised with big fish and meat, and this is the moment for them to overcome difficulties. Send the order to finish this battle, and the whole army will rest and reward."

Lu Guangzu said.

The Lord has spoken, and the others can only overcome difficulties and execute it.
