Chapter 1963
Lack of familiarity with the local situation in Danzhou is undoubtedly one of Xue Zheng's biggest shortcomings at present, and it will inevitably affect the effectiveness of subsequent actions. However, the tasks he undertook were originally assigned on a temporary basis, which did not leave him with sufficient time. In the preparation time, even if the chance of success is slim, he can only bite the bullet and execute it.
Earlier in Yinggehai and Changhua, Xue Zheng and his group also faced the same problem, and the situation at that time was even worse than now. There was no source of information that could allow them to grasp the whereabouts of the target, and they could only rely on I went to collect intelligence information myself to judge when and where to take action, but the effect was of course not very satisfactory. I didn't find an opportunity to take action in Yinggehai at all, and in Changhua it was also because the action plan lacked a contingency plan. At the end of the day, the success fell short.
In contrast, although I spent a lot of money to get some information in Danzhou, and there was still a problem of not being familiar with the environment, it was always much better than the clueless situation at the first two stops. At least Xue Zheng now has the target's detailed itinerary for the next few days and can prepare a more targeted action plan.
However, Xue Zheng did not forget that the person in front of him was a local snake in Danzhou. The locations and environments listed on the itinerary must not be so unfamiliar to Huo Fei. Moreover, Huo Fei charged him a large amount of money and asked him to provide some additional consulting services, which should be a very reasonable request.
While Xue Zheng was still thinking about his words, Huo Fei seemed to have read through his mind and said proactively: "Boss Xue, I guess you are not familiar with the places we are going to visit on this trip, right? Maybe you need them." Can I give you some advice?”
Xue Zheng snorted coldly and said, "Then I'm afraid Mr. Huo will have to offer a high price again, right?"
Although Xue Zheng's previous expenditure for purchasing information was not personal property, and he couldn't say he was very distressed, but he also didn't like Huo Fei's aggressive way of quoting. Fortunately, the other party's work efficiency seemed to be pretty good. In just a few days, he actually got the detailed itinerary. This was even smoother than Xue Zheng expected. He originally thought that he could get some fragmentary information from Huo Fei. At most, he could determine one or two destinations of the North Koreans, which was the limit of what the other party could do. Unexpectedly, the final result was a bit of a "surprise" ".
It is precisely because of this that although Xue Zheng does not agree with Huo Fei's high remuneration, he has no reason to criticize his ability. If Huo Fei's quotation is not too exaggerated, then he is still willing to add another sum of money and use it. Yu asked Huofei to explain the places listed in the itinerary, and preferably give some valuable suggestions from a local's perspective.
Huo Fei responded: "Thanks to Boss Xue for taking care of such a big deal, I will give you a loss-making discount. The fixed price is only 20,000!"
Xue Zheng couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this quotation. Although 20,000 was no longer a small amount, but with Huo Fei's previous high price, when he heard this amount, he would inexplicably think, "It's just that." feeling.
"Twenty thousand... is acceptable, but please give Mr. Huo as much detail as possible." After Xue Zheng finished speaking, he took out another stack of banknotes from his body and pointed them at the light in the carriage.
Of course, this money is not because Huo Fei is greedy and wants to steal Xue Zheng's money at the last moment, but it comes from Zhang Qianzhi's deployment. In terms of controlling people's hearts, Zhang Qianzhi, who has received professional training, naturally has many methods. Even when Huo Fei provided suggestions to Xue Zheng to lure him into a trap, he also made elaborate designs, including collecting rewards. No detail was spared.
The purpose of this is to make Xue Qiang believe that the information provided by Huo Fei is true and effective, fundamentally remove his wariness, and make him think that the situation is still under his control, and he can confidently and boldly summon people. Carry out follow-up actions.
This arrangement indeed played a certain role in confusing people, and it was also very consistent with Huo Fei's character of asking for money, so that Xue Zheng would not notice anything wrong. His current focus was on how to get familiar with the places listed in the itinerary as quickly as possible, and he did not think deeply about how Huo Fei's opinions would affect his actions.
In this itinerary formulated by the Ministry of Security, there are a total of eight destinations included, which are divided into two days. Among these eight destinations are three academies, a calligraphy and painting club, a poetry club, a printing workshop, the third phase of Danzhou Port, and a natural scenic spot. Huo Fei's mission was to convince Xue Qiang that the only chance for them to take action during the entire trip was at this last scenic spot.
This task may seem complicated, but in fact Zhang Qianzhi has also made a relatively careful plan for it, and it will be effective just by letting Huo Fei follow the plan. After hearing Zhang Qianzhi's plan, Huo Fei was convinced by his meticulous arrangement. He knew that he could not defeat this person with his own mind, so he had no choice but to work for him wholeheartedly.
Huo Fei introduced: "Boss Xue, as far as I know, the academy that I will visit on the first day, and the calligraphy and painting club, poetry club, and printing workshop that I will visit on the second day will be closed at least one day in advance, and irrelevant personnel are prohibited from entering and exiting. There will be troops on duty inside and outside, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for you to sneak in before the North Koreans arrive.”
When Xue Zheng heard these words, his face naturally turned pale. With the manpower he can currently mobilize, the most ideal environment for mobilizing is a public environment with a large number of people. The first day the North Koreans arrived in Danzhou was a non-public itinerary. If they wanted to take action, they could only find a way to find it from the next day. Chance.
But judging from what Huo Fei said, this so-called visit will actually be conducted in a relatively closed environment. Xue Zheng had previously thought about setting up ambushes in academies where the North Koreans might go, but now it seems that they may not even be able to sneak into these places at all, let alone launch an attack on the target.
If what Huo Fei said was true, then Xue Zheng would not be able to implement the action as he expected, but he still remained patient and continued to listen to Huo Fei's introduction.
Huo Fei continued: "As for the third phase of the Danzhou Port project, it is actually to build a dedicated military port for the local navy. This place... is in the naval camp in Danzhou Bay. I guess you still have to enter. Don’t go.”
Xue Zheng asked reluctantly: "How about pretending to be a civilian worker on the construction site?" Huo Fei said: "Boss Xue doesn't know that casual workers are generally not hired for military projects, and the civilian workers involved in such projects are... The relevant identity registration has been made. It may be possible to sneak in one or two, but there is still a risk of being discovered.”
Xue Zheng thought that only one or two people would be able to go in. He might not even get a chance to get close by then, and this place was located in a military camp. Even if the group of people he led pretended to be civilians, they might not be able to withstand the interrogation by then. As long as one person exposes the secret, the whole thing will be in vain.
But when Xue Zheng looked at this itinerary again, he saw that all the previous itineraries had been denied the possibility of taking action due to various reasons. Then there was only the last place left. Is it really necessary to make a desperate bet here?
"Boss Xue, here comes the point. Whether the more than 200,000 yuan you spent earlier is worth it depends on this last place." Huo Fei took the initiative to raise his voice, raised his only finger and pointed at himself: "This place is a quiet place specially arranged at the end of the itinerary by my advice to the gentleman, so that the Koreans can spend their last night in Danzhou more relaxedly."
Xue Zheng looked at the itinerary again and asked Huo Fei: "What's so special about Yantang Yangyue?"
Huo Fei said in a deep voice: "The rising moon over Yantang is one of the eight scenic spots in Danzhou. Master Zeng Bangtai, the magistrate of the state during the Wanli period, once wrote a poem to praise the beautiful scenery there. The poem said, "The moon is falling over the Qing and Han Dynasties, and the wind is blowing over the Fangtang." , it is popular to move up and down the water, the moon is shining on the waves, the white clams are barking, the fish are swimming and sucking red, the cold light and the flowing water are not the same. Local literati also have many works describing the local scenery, such as A Bright Moon Rising. Yantang, the autumn water with pearls glowing at night..."
"Mr. Huo, time is limited, please tell me the key points!" Xue Zheng is not a literati, and he is not interested in talking about poetry and poetry with Huo Fei. He just wants to know now, since Huo Fei claimed that this place was officially opened after listening to his suggestions. If you add the destination to visit, what advantages does it have for the actions you want to take?
"Yes, yes, it's a bit off topic." Huo Fei saw that the other party was anxious and knew that he was about to succeed. He continued: "This place is located in Yangyue Village, Sandu Town. It can be considered a countryside. And the scenery here must be It is most valuable to watch when the moon is above the branches when it is quiet at night. If soldiers and horses are sent to seal off this place in advance, it will ruin this elegance, so when the Koreans visit here, there will definitely not be a large number of guards. The accompanying personnel may only be a few people. After all, the people who go to this place at night are just weak men, so there is no safety risk. "
Xue Zheng was really excited after hearing this introduction. If the government did not send a large number of soldiers and horses to protect it, then launching a surprise attack in a wild environment would definitely have a much higher chance of success than in a closed environment such as an academy or even a military camp. And if you do it at night, no matter whether you succeed or not, your chances of evacuating at night will be greater than during the day.
While Xue Zheng was still thinking about the pros and cons, Huo Fei added another condition that he couldn't ignore: "This place is located to the north of Danzhou Bay, twenty or thirty miles away from Danzhou City. Even if something happens there, It takes a lot of time to report to Danzhou City or ask for help. I think this should be a very advantageous condition for Boss Xue.”
After hearing this, Xue Zheng couldn't help but ponder: "Since this place is quite far away from Danzhou City and it's all in the countryside, why don't I set an ambush on the way and catch them off guard?"
He was thinking about whether he could take such an action, but Huo Fei had already ruled out the feasibility for him in advance: "There are two routes from Danzhou City to Yangyue Village. One is to cross the Beimen River to the north after leaving the city, and then To get to the destination, the second option is to leave the city via Ximen and cross Danzhou Bay, then land on the north bank and head to Yangyue Village. However, the specific route will probably not be decided until the last day. The two roads are in different directions. It's far away, otherwise I would recommend Boss Xue to do it on the road. But in that case, you probably have to prepare some horses, otherwise if your target runs away, you won't be able to catch up with him on two legs."
< br>
Of course, this is also a detail arranged by Zhang Qianzhi, in order to force Xue Zheng step by step to make a desperate move and devote all his strength to the place he designated. Of course, it is also possible that Xue Zheng's men are enough to set up ambushes on both routes, but through the psychological hints that Huo Fei instilled into him bit by bit, Xue Zheng will definitely choose to seize the largest location to implement his actions. If we do it in the middle of the road, the target might just escape in a car, and we won't be able to catch him at night. In any case, we are not as sure as if we do it in Yangyue Village.
Huo Fei spent a lot of time and finally convinced Xue Qiang that the scenic spot in Yangyue Village was the only place in the entire trip where he could have a chance to make a leisurely move. As long as he bet all the power at hand, he would be very successful. Maybe he could succeed in one blow, and there was even hope of escaping unscathed, and evacuate this place before Danzhou City received the warning.
If Huo Fei just verbally explained to him that he had arranged such an excellent location after discussing with officials from Haihan, Xue Zheng might not believe it, because it might just be a story made up by the other party to defraud money. . However, the detailed written itinerary that Huo Fei presented to him, as well as the real locations listed above, as well as Huo Fei's clear analysis and suggestions, all convinced Xue Qiang that the itinerary he had in hand was indeed Dan. Arrangements made by state officials for the Crown Prince of Joseon.
And Xue Zheng could never have imagined that this seemingly impossible situation was actually a situation specially designed for him by the Haihan Security Department. Zhang Qianzhi's careful conception and Huo Fei's good performance made this scam seem impeccable.
In the next three days, Zhang Qianzhi will try his best to perfect this scam, and at the same time strengthen the surveillance of Xue Zheng's group to confirm whether there are other accomplices of this group in Danzhou. In addition, he also mobilized troops to fortify various traffic arteries in and out of Danzhou to prevent any fish that slipped through the net from escaping later. Zhang Xin has given him full power, and the local garrison will try its best to cooperate with his dispatch. The next thing is to slowly close the net.
"Everyone, I hope that the next few days will be the last few days of this case. No matter where this group comes from or what their identity is, since we have caught their tail, don't let them leave here!"< br>
Later, at the action preparation meeting hosted by Zhang Qianzhi, he expressed his expectations to the participants with a serious face.
