Chapter 958 Code Book
Today's Yun Ye is no longer the lonely time traveler a few years ago.
He was a dignified Marquis of Lantian in the Tang Dynasty. He was promoted to a noble title through meritorious service and had countless living people. Among the ministers in the court, the only ones who could show their elders in front of him were Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda, whom he regarded as his elders from the bottom of his heart.
Although Li Jing is the general manager of Dingxiang Road, he is not Yun Ye's direct boss after all.
In addition, the two of them had some unpleasantness before due to the incident between Hongfu Nu and the bearded guest, and this time they wanted to ask Yun Ye for help. Li Jing could only receive Yun Ye honestly as a host and guest.
Yun Ye was not pretentious, he knew the stakes of the matter.
It was a matter of military importance and there was no room for him to show off his petty temper.
What's more, the person who came to invite Li Jing was Sun Simiao, whom he respected very much, which made Yun Ye even more unable to refuse.
"I really didn't expect that Li Jing actually has a personal relationship with Daozhang Sun..."
On the way to the camp, Yun Ye whispered to Lin Zhongtian beside him.
Lin Zhongtian smiled and said nonchalantly: "Although Taoist Master Sun is now over eighty, Li Jing is also in his sixties. Both of them have been famous for many years and have been in the world. It is normal for them to cross paths."
Yun Ye thought for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, it is now the fourth year of Zhenguan, and in one year, Li Jing will be sixty. After all, he will be about one generation behind Taoist Sun..."
"Ahem!"
Hearing the unobtrusive conversation between Yun Ye and Lin Zhongtian, the general leading the way couldn't help but cough.
Yun Ye glanced at his back, curled his lips, and stopped talking about Li Jing behind Lin Zhongtian's back.
Not long after, the two entered the military tent where Li Jing was.
Lin Zhongtian walked half a step ahead of Yun Ye, and saw a solemn old man sitting behind the desk, with documents piled in front of him, and a pair of old but clear eyes looking at them critically.
"Are you Yun Ye's senior brother?"
Li Jing stared at Lin Zhongtian and took the lead in asking questions to this immortal disciple who had never seen him before.
Lin Zhongtian smiled, cupped his hands casually and said: "Lin Zhongtian has met the chief manager of Dingxiang Road. People from the mountains and wild areas do not understand etiquette. If there is any offence, I hope the chief manager Haihan..."
Seeing that Lin Zhongtian was as rude as Sun Simiao said, Li Jing couldn't help but twitch his lips.
"It doesn't matter." He waved his hand and said, "You are a descendant of a master, so you are naturally different. Little friend Lin, there is no need to be polite. I allow you to do whatever you want!"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Zhongtian and Yun Ye had no reaction, but the general who led the way breathed a sigh of relief.
There was nothing he could do. Along the way, Lin Zhongtian's gaze put too much pressure on him.
The last time he felt this way was the battle in front of Xuanwu Gate that almost cost him his life...
Hearing Li Jing's words, Lin Zhongtian was a little surprised. He raised his hand and said, "Thank you, Chief Manager."
Yun Ye smiled slightly, stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Back to the chief manager, the forger is a group of horse thieves. The leader is named Ye Tuo, and there is a lot of strength behind him."
"As for who they are, I don't know who they are, but I can conclude that they are all highly intelligent people and should not be underestimated!"
Li Jing shook his head: "I have also heard about Ye Tuo, but he is just a nobody from Kang State. Since he dares to attack my army, how can I allow him to live!"
"As a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, why should I take a little horse thief seriously? After I wipe out DTZ, I must go to Kang State to see how many pairs of bears' hearts and leopard's courage this horse thief has. He dares to Our army is engaged in this treasonous act!”
"As for now, I summoned your two brothers and sisters here for another matter."
With that said, Li Jing picked up the forged order document in front of him and sighed: "Although Ye Tuo is suffering from scabies, his forgery of the document exposed the shortcomings of our army in conveying military orders."
"What I'm worried about is the Yin Talisman used in the military. Since the other party can forge the order document, it means that the Yin Talisman has been leaked. I want to improve the Yin Talisman, but I don't know where to start..."
After speaking, Li Jing turned his attention to Yun Ye and Lin Zhongtian, and the meaning behind his words was beyond words.
The general who led the way did not leave the camp. Instead, he stood by the desk and looked at the two of them with the same piercing eyes.
Seeing this scene, Yun Ye knew that the general leading the way was definitely not an ordinary person. He might be the leader of the Baiqisi in the army, the head of the secret service agency directly under Emperor Li Er.
Yun Ye glanced at the angel in the forest, then patted his chest and said confidently: "What's so difficult about this!"
"I have heard Mr. Xu talk about the methods of Yin Fu and Yin Shu. Since Jiang Taigong, these things have been passed down for thousands of years. They sound like some clever communication methods, but in my opinion, they are just some crude tricks! "
"The bamboo-joint communication, hiding the head and showing the tail, jumping every three times, is all the wisdom of the predecessors."
"The General Manager asked about this matter, but it made Yun a little confused. Why has our Datang army still not improved after so many years, and is still using these things that are not the medicine?"
As soon as such complacent words came out, the expression of the general in front of Li Jing's case suddenly changed.
He glared at Yun Ye and said, "Shuzi is ignorant, I, Baiqisi——"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Zhongtian's sharp eyes struck him, and an invisible sense of oppression burst out of thin air. Li Jing and the leader of Baiqisi in the tent were shocked, and they looked at Lin Zhongtian solemnly.
Yun Ye's heart skipped a beat and he quickly stopped Lin Zhongtian: "Brother, calm down, we are all our own people, don't be impulsive."
After saying that, he turned his head, looked at Li Jing and said with a smile: "The chief manager, and this general..."
The general looked at Lin Zhongtian solemnly and said slowly: "The last general is Hongcheng."
Yun Ye nodded and said: "General Hongcheng, if you don't believe it, then let's speak with the facts - General Manager, if I am a spy now, please pass a military order and let me write a secret letter. Try Baiqisi Can General Hong see it?"
Hong Cheng turned his attention to Yun Ye again, frowned and said, "Okay, just give it a try!"
Li Jing also became interested and immediately wrote down a military order and gave it to Yun Ye.
After taking it, Yun Ye nodded, took out a book from his arms, read it leisurely, and wrote something on the paper from time to time.
After a while, under the confused looks of Li Jing and Hong Cheng, Yun Ye put down his pen, stretched out, and handed the written secret letter to Hong Cheng.
Hong Cheng couldn't wait to take it. Looking left and right, he could only see some illogical uppercase numbers and had no idea what these numbers meant.
"...Is this the Yin Talisman book you wrote?"
Hong Cheng suppressed his anger and seemed to be saying, 'Are you kidding me?'
Yun Ye smiled and said: "How about it, can't you tell?"
Li Jing looked at the numbers on the Yin Fu book, pondered for a moment, and then turned to look at Lin Zhongtian.
"Little friend Lin, maybe you understand?"
Lin Zhongtian had long understood Yun Ye's actions, and immediately nodded with a smile: "Of course you can if you have a code book!"
Li Jing was slightly startled: "Password book?"
Yun Ye and Lin Zhongtian looked at each other, smiled slightly, and said nothing.
He handed the book to Lin Zhongtian, who reached out to take it, compared the numbers on the Yin Fu book, turned to the corresponding page number and line number, and wrote down the corresponding text one by one.
Not long after, a deciphered secret letter appeared in front of Li Jing.
"Tomorrow we will make food at the fourth watch, and the whole army will set off at the fifth watch. The Xiaoqi camp will be on the left, and the Modao camp will be behind the palace. The scouts will be sent out for fifteen miles. Li Ji will be ordered to ambush at the mountain pass. Wait for the enemy to be more than halfway, then attack in the middle and cut off the enemy. Two paragraphs. This is the order from Chief Manager Li Jing, January 16th."
After reading, Li Jing suddenly raised his head and looked at the two of them with bright eyes.
Hong Cheng looked shocked. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have imagined that the Yin Talisman Book filled with numbers could accurately translate the military orders conveyed by Li Jing.
Yun Ye said leisurely: "Now that the matter is over, the chief manager should have understood it, right?"
Li Jing said with bright eyes: "The secret is in the so-called code book!"
Yun Ye handed over the book in his hand with a smile and said: "This book was written by Xiaguan himself in the past three days. It contains various words commonly used in military orders. When writing the Yin Fu book, you only need to follow the corresponding words. Fill in the number of pages and lines, and the person who receives the secret code can then decipher it in reverse against the code book to get precise instructions. "
Li Jing took the code book, couldn't wait to compare it with the Yin Talisman Book, and translated his military order again.
After being deciphered and taken over, Li Jing couldn't help but admired and said: "It is really exquisite. In this way, our army does not have to worry about the messenger being intercepted midway. However, this method requires the absolute confidentiality of the code book, and it is best to change it from time to time. …”
Yun Ye was slightly startled, and then praised: "The chief manager is really smart, and he can draw inferences from one example!"
After saying that, he stretched, glanced at the pale Hong Cheng next to him and said, "Of course, I am just proposing a draft, and the subsequent compilation and confidentiality of the code book will have to be handed over to the chief manager and Bai Qisi. "
"It should be so."
Li Jing nodded, then glanced at Hong Cheng and said, "Why don't you thank Marquis Yun quickly?"
Hong Cheng's face turned red, and he suddenly lifted up his shirt, knelt on one knee, and saluted Yun Ye.
Yun Ye was startled by his actions and quickly raised his hand to support Hong Cheng.
But unfortunately, how could his strength be compared to that of a general like Hong Cheng? Lin Zhongtian waved his sleeves and lifted Hong Cheng up with just the force attached to his sleeves.
Such a sophisticated method made both Li Jing and Hong Cheng look surprised.
After coming back to his senses, Li Jing said softly: "Although Hongcheng is the leader of Baiqisi, he is actually his Majesty's retainer. This time the military plane was leaked and the order documents were tampered with. He is more anxious than anyone else. Marquis Yun ignored the previous suspicion and offered his services." This plan saved his life, and he deserves such a great gift."
I see……
Yun Ye suddenly realized.
Hong Cheng blushed and lowered his head to the boy in front of him who was much younger than him.
"Please teach me, Marquis Yun!"
Yun Ye was slightly startled and said in surprise: "Haven't I already finished teaching you?"
Hong Cheng lowered his head, his face full of shame.
Yun Ye reacted and couldn't help but sigh, and was deeply worried about the overall quality of Datang's intelligence organization.
But there is no way, the family world is like this. The leader of a secret service agency directly under the emperor like Baiqisi has always been based on personal loyalty, not personal ability.
Yun Ye spoke so thoroughly that Li Jing could draw inferences from one instance, but Hong Cheng still didn't understand, which had to leave him speechless.
But on the other hand, Hong Cheng is so stupid, but he can still serve as the head of Baiqisi, which shows how deep Li Er trusts him.
Thinking of this, Yun Ye smiled slightly, helped Hong Cheng up, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, General Hong, it will take some time for Yun to return to Chang'an. We have plenty of time..."
