My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 485 Ming Intelligence Network
Lying in bed, Uncle Yu thought of his wife and children who were far away in Daming. Although they had been separated for many years, their family was still the spiritual support in his heart.

When he left Daming, his son was just one month old. Now he has grown up, married a wife and had a lot of children. He even wrote a letter to himself some time ago.

His son has replaced him as a royal guard when he comes of age, and his grandson is about to come of age, but Uncle Yu is about to die. If nothing happens, he may not be able to return to the Ming Dynasty in this life.

Thinking of this, Uncle Yu couldn't help but sigh to himself. His biggest wish now is to see his children and grandchildren before he dies. Even if he only has a glimpse, he will die in peace.

Halfway through the cold night, Uncle Yu was thinking about his family in a daze, and suddenly he seemed to see his family in his dream, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see the appearance of his children and grandchildren.

But at this moment, a soft sound suddenly came from the room, which made Uncle Yu jump up and took out a short knife from under the pillow with his right hand.

As a spy, he has been extremely vigilant over the years. Even when sleeping, he will hide the knife within his reach, not only to kill the enemy, but also to kill himself at a critical moment.

There was darkness in the tent, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary, but Uncle Yu believed in his ears that the sound just now was definitely not misheard, let alone the sound made by mice or something like that.

After a while, there was still nothing unusual in the tent. Uncle Yu then reached out and touched the fire folding bag on the table, and then lit the oil lamp.

Uncle Yu held the oil lamp and walked around the tent. He soon found a paper ball at the door. He hurriedly picked up the paper ball. After opening it, he found that there was a stone wrapped inside, which should be easy to throw in from the outside. .

Uncle Yu unfolded the paper ball and saw a line of small words written on it: "In mid-March, General Arutai will lead his troops to raid Xinghe!"

Seeing the small words on the paper ball, Uncle Yu was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. He even hurriedly opened the tent door and went outside to look around.

But it was quiet outside the tent. Except for the occasional barking of dogs in the tribe, there was no sound at all, and no one could be seen.

But Uncle Yu was filled with shock and fear. Although there was not much content on the note, it directly stated the time and target of Arutai's troop dispatch. This was definitely not information that ordinary people could access.

What frightened Uncle Yu even more was that the other party directly threw such important information into his tent. This meant that the other party must know his identity. Otherwise, why would there be so many people in the tribe throwing it into his tent?

Thinking of this, the cold sweat on Uncle Yu's forehead became even worse, and he even felt like a disaster was imminent. After all, as an old spy who had been lurking for many years, he knew better than anyone else what having his identity exposed would mean to him.

However, compared to his own safety, the information in his hand was more important, so Uncle Yu turned back to the tent and blew out the oil lamp to avoid attracting the attention of outsiders.

But Uncle Yu was no longer sleepy at this time. He temporarily put his personal life and death behind him, holding this important information tightly in his hand, but countless thoughts popped up in his mind.

Uncle Yu could not prove the authenticity of this information. He even suspected that someone might have doubted his identity and deliberately used false information to test him?
This is not impossible. Although the grassland people seem to be very rough, they are not stupid. They also know that there may be Ming spies lurking in the tribe. Especially after the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, many Mongolian Yuan remnants retreated to the grassland and brought back Many Han people’s habits.

For example, as far as Uncle Yu knows, Arutai has a special team with two main tasks. One is to eliminate spies from the tribe, and the other is to collect intelligence about the Ming Dynasty, and even sends spies to spy on all aspects of the Ming Dynasty. "No, if they doubt me, even if they don't have any evidence, they will directly send people to arrest me and torture me instead of using this method to test!"

Uncle Yu quickly shook his head and muttered to himself that he had been in contact with Arutai's people before and knew their style of doing things. If he used false information to test this kind of thing, the other party would never have the patience or brains.

"If it wasn't fake news, who would have dumped such important news on me?"

Uncle Yu said to himself again. In fact, based on the intelligence he collected during this period, he could vaguely analyze that Arutai is likely to send troops in March, but as for the target of sending troops, he has not received the news yet.

Now this intelligence clearly points out that the target of Arutai's troops is Xinghe. It is very close to the capital and has heavy troops stationed there. There is also a large amount of grain and grass materials stored in the city. If Arutai conquers there, it can solve the food problem on the one hand. , on the other hand, it can also be used to demonstrate to the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Uncle Yu judged that the information in his hand was probably true. As for who passed it on to him?He thought about it and finally thought of a possibility.

The Asote Tribe is the headquarters of Arutai, and it is also the focus of the Jinyiwei. There is more than just Uncle Yu in the entire tribe, and even Uncle Yu is just a low-level spy. He can only find out some less important information through Hu Chi. intelligence.

"Maybe there is a higher-level spy. I don't know him, but he knows me. And he got such important information, but for various reasons, he couldn't pass it on, so he threw the information to me."

Uncle Yu whispered his guess.

If this guess is true, it also means that this information is extremely important, and there is no need to doubt its authenticity.

When he thought of this, Uncle Yu immediately became excited. Compared with the information he had passed before, the information in his hand was undoubtedly more accurate and important. If it could be sent back in time, it would definitely be a great achievement.

I am getting older and my health is getting worse. Maybe I can use this merit to apply to my superiors to return to my hometown for retirement, and then I can see my wife and children.

Thinking of this, Uncle Yu became even more excited, so he wrote the information in code words overnight, and took the risk to contact his downline the next day, asking the other party to send it back as soon as possible no matter what.

So this important information was delivered to Shopkeeper Wu of Wuli Town just a few days later.

When Shopkeeper Wu saw this extremely accurate information, he was also shocked, especially because Arutai's target turned out to be Xinghe City, and their Wuli Town would definitely bear the brunt of the attack.

So shopkeeper Wu did not dare to delay and immediately reported the information. After passing through the hands of Xinghe's Jinyiwei, it was quickly sent to the capital. So just three days later, the information was sent to Zhu Di's desk.
