Chapter 2406 Rebellion
But it is also a great test for Deng Ai to win Yangping Pass. After all, the terrain on Yangping Pass is very dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if Deng Ai concentrates more troops, he will not be able to use it. If he wants to break through such a dangerous pass, he still needs to find another way.
Deng Ai thought for a long time, but had no plans. Suddenly, he thought that in his correspondence with Cao Liang a few years ago, Cao Liang mentioned Jiang Shu as a person. Cao Liang simply mentioned in the letter that Jiang Shu was the key to getting Yangping Pass. This person’s mind was not right and could be used.
Since Cao Liang had exchanged a lot of information with Deng Ai at that time, and the content involved was in all aspects, Deng **chu didn't care about such a short message. After all, there were too many things to prepare at that time, and it was not Deng Ai's turn to think about Yangping Pass, so Deng Ai put the matter aside.
Now that the Wei army is about to attack Yangping, Deng Aifang recalled Cao Liang's words and immediately sent someone to summon Qingxiao and asked in detail about Jiang Shu's situation.
As the intelligence officer in Hanzhong area, Qingshan was naturally quite comprehensive in collecting information, and of course he knew the situation of the generals of the Shu army very well. He knew every general's resume, personality, characteristics, and habits very thoroughly.
Although Qingqian didn't know why Deng Ai was particularly interested in Jiang Shu, after all, the head of Yangping Pass was Fu Qian. In Qingqian's opinion, Deng Ai should pay more attention to Fu Qian. However, since Deng Ai asked about Jiang Shu's situation, Qingqian told Deng Ai in detail all the situations of Jiang Shu.
This information was as if it was imprinted in Qingxia's mind. At this moment, it was like a bean pouring from the bamboo tube, and it was trembling out. Qingxia talked freely, detailing Jiang Shu's life history, personality traits, hobbies, and interpersonal relationships. It took half an hour to talk about it without breathing or thinking.
Deng Ai was also very curious. He didn't expect that Qingxiao's memory was so good, and he knew Jiang Shu so thoroughly. Moreover, he didn't read the information at all, and he could even say it in detail through talking nonsense.
Moreover, Deng Ai also knew that Qing Shan could not be talking nonsense. This was a very formal inquiry. What Deng Ai wanted to know was the real situation of Jiang Shu. Qing Shan knew the fact that was closest to the real situation. At this point, he did not dare to fool Deng Ai.
After listening to Qingxiao's introduction, Deng Ai also fell into deep thought. From Jiang Shu's resume, it can be seen that Jiang Shu was not from a wealthy family. The reason why he was promoted to his current position is inseparable from Jiang Wei's appreciation in addition to his personal efforts.
Logically speaking, if he was really Jiang Wei's confidant and confidant, it would not be easy to instigate him. And on the surface, there was no special conflict between Jiang Shu and Fu Qian. It is said that in the Duan Gu battle, Fu Qian saved Jiang Shu's life. With such a relationship, the two should get along well.
But Deng Ai would not be confused by these appearances in front of him. Since Cao Liang had specifically mentioned that Jiang Shu could be used, it proved that there would be articles here. After all, although Deng Ai didn't know how Cao Liang knew about Jiang Shu's situation, Cao Liang had never disappointed. His judgment was proven repeatedly, so even if the information given by Qingxiao was detailed, Deng Ai was still willing to believe Cao Liang.
So Deng Ai asked Qingxiao Yangping Pass whether there were spies from the Wei army, whether they had the opportunity to contact Jiang Shu, and instigated him.
Qingxia immediately replied: "Report to the Governor, there is indeed a military marquis in the Yangping Pass, code-named Tianlang, who is responsible for the intelligence affairs in Yangping Pass. Most of the information mentioned under him was passed by Tianlang. His current public identity is a record room in the Yangping Pass. It is not difficult to get in touch with Jiang Shu, but..."
Qingxia said this, hesitated for a while and did not continue. Deng Ai immediately understood what he meant. If Tianlang asked Tianlang to instigate Jiang Shu, it would be equivalent to Tianlang revealing his identity. If the instigation was successful, it would be easy to say. Once the failure occurs, Tianlang, whose identity was exposed, will have no chance of survival.
Deng Ai was silent for a moment and said, "I also know that the risk of this matter is quite high, but if it succeeds, it can easily defeat Yangping Pass, which can help more soldiers avoid sacrifice and exchange one person's life and death for more people's lives. Which one do you think is more important?"
Qingxiao just thought for a moment and quickly said: "Governor Deng believes that it is not appropriate to send Tianlang to instigate Jiang Shu. His subordinates have always maintained a single-line contact with Tianlang. Although Tianlang is diligent in doing things, he is not good at speaking and it is difficult for him to be a lobbyist. Since Governor Deng believes that Jiang Shu can instigate Jiang Shu, it is better to let his subordinates go and try it."
Deng Aiwei was stunned. Originally, he was just planning to let the Wei army spies lurking in Yangping Pass try to instigate Jiang Shu, but unexpectedly, Qingxiao would volunteer to go there.
You know, this job is nothing like other things. Infiltrating into Yangping Pass, which is heavily defended by Shu Kingdom, to persuade the generals of Shu army to surrender are almost equivalent to seeking a sword with a tiger. If they fail, there is no way out at all.
This shows Qingxiao's courage and responsibility. Deng Ai nodded with relief and said, "It's so good, but now Yangping Pass is tightly defended. How can He Sima sneak into Yangping Pass?"
Qingqian smiled and said, "Don't worry, governor, if the army sneaks into the city, there may be no way, but if subordinates go to Yangping Pass and want to enter the city, it is just a small matter and have their own channels. However, the subordinates still need a letter from the governor, and the governor personally promises high officials and generous salaries, which may only move Jiang Shu's heart."
Qingqin knew that it would be quite difficult to convince Jiang Shu with his own status. If he wanted Jiang Shu to abandon Shu and join Wei, he would at least have to provide enough conditions to tempt Jiang Shu.
Qingxia's own words are slight, and even if he speaks in a mess, Jiang Shu may not be able to believe it. If Deng Ai wrote a letter in person and as Deng Ai's identity and status, Jiang Shu would not dare to underestimate him. If Jiang Shu really had to surrender deliberately, this would be the best opportunity.
As for risks, Qingxiao certainly doesn't care. Those who do their job will always coexist with risks and opportunities. With only one chance, Qingxiao is willing to make 100% of her efforts, even if she pays the price of her life, she will be willing to pay.
