Chapter 898 Jiang Youzhen really saved this general
"What if the Northern Ming Kingdom really leaks the news and everyone attacks us? Now we don't know who has the tiger talisman. By the time the imperial court sends a powerful general and the tiger talisman, it will be too late!"
Li Dongsheng was very anxious. Even though their Li family was in decline, they still retained their titles. Once the country was destroyed, they would really become slaves of a conquered nation.
"We can only leave it to fate! We'll take it one step at a time!" Jiang Youzhen sighed, then walked out of the yamen.
"Hey? You can't just ignore it!" Li Dongsheng chased after him.
"Master Jiang, I will never forget your kindness today!"
When Jiang Youzhen returned to Prince Yuanming's residence, Prince Yuanming was already waiting in the study. When he saw her coming, he immediately bowed deeply!
No matter what, Jiang Youzhen saved him today, and he is still scared now!
"Your Highness, there is no need to be so polite! This is my job." Jiang Youzhen hurried forward to support him.
The reason why I am not punishing you today is not to excuse you, but because we still need you to guard the border for the time being.
Jiang Youzhen smiled without saying anything, his eyes full of smiles. Just wait for the reckoning to come!
"Master Jiang, please take a seat! We still need to discuss the next countermeasures!"
"Your Highness is right! I came here to discuss with you how to deal with this matter." Jiang Youzhen nodded, then sat down at the bottom.
"Alas! Now that General Dingyuan has passed away, I'm afraid this border is going to be in chaos! What are Lord Jiang's plans for next?"
"Those people are bound to take action! The only way for us now is to quickly find a way to know their military deployment. Otherwise, once a fight breaks out, we will be at a great disadvantage." Jiang Youzhen said.
"That's right! Lord Jiang, have you made a plan for the next step? If you need me, Lord Jiang, please let me know!"
"There is indeed a need for your help! You know that we have just arrived at the border and are not familiar with the terrain. It is difficult to sneak into the Northern Ming Kingdom to get information. I wonder if you have any capable subordinates? Can you lend them to me?"
Prince Yuanming's eyes suddenly gleamed, "Lord Jiang, do you mean to send someone to the Northern Ming Kingdom to inquire about military deployment? This is confidential and must be strictly guarded. I'm afraid that if we send someone over, not only will we not be able to find out any information, but it will also easily alert the enemy!"
"I am also worried about this, so I hope that the prince will send elite troops over. But doesn't the prince already have a spy in the Northern Ming Kingdom? Why not order him to find a solution?"
"This? He is just an ordinary spy. How could he possibly find out military secrets? Not appropriate! Not appropriate!" Prince Yuan Ming shook his head.
"Eh~ Since he even found out about General Dingyuan being captured, he must be very strategic and skilled, and he holds a high position in the Northern Ming Kingdom, right?
"Please consider the overall situation, even if the truth is revealed, only a few spies will be sacrificed. Compared with the safety of the border or even the Great Yun Dynasty, this is nothing!"
Jiang Youzhen put down the tea bowl in his hand. It seemed that Prince Yuanming had to help.
Prince Yuan Ming hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Then we can only try our best! If it fails, we will really lose one of our most important secret agents, alas!"
"Your Highness is so righteous! When we get through this crisis, I believe the people of our dynasty will be grateful to you for defending the border and protecting the country and the people!" Jiang Youzhen stood up and bowed deeply to Prince Yuanming.
"Please stand up quickly, my lord! This is also my duty! I will do my best and will not hesitate to ask for your help!"
Prince Yuan Ming stepped forward and supported Jiang Youzhen, looking like he understood the righteousness of the matter.
Qin Yandong on the side couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth. These two are so hypocritical, who knows what bad things they are planning!
"Then I'll leave this matter to you, Prince! I'm afraid that a war will break out on the border, so I hope you can train your troops diligently in the near future to prepare for an enemy attack!"
"Good! Raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a moment! It's time to let those barbarians see the powerful soldiers and generals of our dynasty, otherwise they will think that my dynasty is a paper tiger!" Prince Yuan Ming said passionately.
"I still have things to do next, so I'll wait for your good news! I'll take my leave for now!"
After Jiang Youzhen said goodbye, he moved out of the general's mansion and prepared to live in General Dingyuan's mansion.
As soon as Jiang Youzhen left, Prince Yuan Ming immediately asked someone to invite Mr. Wen.
"Sir, you are brilliant! It's really a brilliant plan! Jiang Youzhen really saved this general."
"Haha! Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle! I have said it before, for the safety of the border, he will never touch the prince. You just need to wait for him to save you! There is no need to worry at all!" Mr. Wen laughed twice.
"But this Jiang Youzhen is really capable. Apart from other things, he was able to detect the conspiracy of those people so quickly and was not deceived. He is smart and resourceful!"
Yuan Mingshi sighed and wondered how great it would be if Jiang Youzhen had joined their clan.
"No matter how clever he is, it's useless! He can't do anything alone! He has no help at this frontier, and without the support of the prince's power, it will be difficult for him to accomplish anything. But the prince should be careful, because once he has dealt with the foreign enemies, he will turn around and attack you first!"
Prince Yuan Ming nodded, "Yes! He must have found a lot of evidence of my crimes, but he kept it secret in order to use me to deal with foreign enemies."
"Sir, he just said that he wanted my spy in Northern Ming to pass on the message. He actually wanted to deploy the military, which is undoubtedly a fantasy."
Mr. Wen stroked his beard when he heard this, "The situation is not good now! If the prince is really capable, why not give it a try! Jiang Youzhen wants to be killed, but before that, you have to cooperate with him."
"But it is impossible for my secret agents to obtain the detailed plan of military deployment. How can they cooperate?" Prince Yuan Ming sighed. Did he think he didn't want to?
"I have a solution!"
"Sir, please speak quickly!" Prince Yuan Ming asked immediately.
"The Khan of the Northern Ming Kingdom is young and strong, and his sons are all brave and good at fighting. They are indeed difficult to deal with. But after the Northern Ming Kingdom makes a decision, it always asks the gods whether the decision is feasible through sacrifice. Therefore, the high priest Korchin family has always had a high status in the Northern Ming Kingdom.
It’s not easy to start with the royal family, so let’s start with the high priest’s family.”
When Mr. Wen said this, Prince Yuan Ming's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Sir, do you mean to have my men infiltrate the High Priest's family to obtain information?"
Mr. Wen shook his head. "Only the chief priest and members of the royal family are allowed to be present during the sacrifice. This is not feasible!"
"What should we do then?" Prince Yuan Ming frowned.
"Then we can only change the original deployment and act according to our plan! Sacrifices have sacred objects, and we can tamper with them. Compared to getting information, this seems to be easier."
Prince Yuan Ming was immediately delighted, "Master, you are very wise!"
“But you shouldn’t just send your own people. Jiang Youzhen is suspicious by nature. How could he believe the news you get?
Why not let him send someone to contact your spy? That way he will definitely believe it, and you can remove the suspicion and stay out of it. "Mr. Wen suggested again.
