Chapter 102 Token (I) Li Zhen is really the kind of person who is almost mythologized in Lingnan and Nanyang, and some people even blindly trust him, thinking that the prince is right no matter what he says - he is almost trusted as a god, similar to the kind of brain-dead fans of later generations, and there is no doubt that Sima Cuo is one of these brain-dead fans.
Therefore, he obviously didn't know what these ships were for, and he was even skeptical before, but as soon as he heard that these ships were left by Li Zhen, he immediately changed his previous attitude and was convinced of it.
Looking at the small boat on the coast, Sima Cuo no longer felt that it was small and inconspicuous at this moment, and he still felt unusually radiant, and said excitedly: "Since it was left by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this ship must be the key to changing the situation of the war, I don't know how to operate it?"
” Ben Yin said: "We have professionals in charge of the problem of operating the ships, Your Highness said, with these ships, the enemy in the sea is no longer afraid, just leave it to us, but the Deputy Governor, you can go and destroy the rebels - you probably don't want to see that when the prince returns, the enemy has been destroyed, but the rebels have made a mess of Coconut Harbor, right?"
” "Yes, yes, compared to the enemy, the rebels are more hateful......
Okay, I'll go and destroy Guan Hong's house, and I'll leave this side of the coast to you.
Sima Cuo didn't have the slightest suspicion, and immediately walked towards the position.
"Wait a minute, Captain Sima (because he was appointed as a captain of the city defense, the army called him captain, and the navy still called him a captain, it was not Ben San's mistake, it was intentional), why are you going?"
Sima Cuo's actions attracted the attention of another big man, and Guan Wenhai also heard about the rebel crisis behind, so he came over to take a look and hide from the danger by the way, but he happened to see Sima Cuo's behavior, and couldn't help asking.
"I'm going to destroy the rebels......
So, it's okay to hand it over to Brother Ben Yin here, and this kid Guan Hong will hand it over to me.
Sima Cuo explained the matter simply.
Because he is a civilian official and knows nothing about military affairs, Guan Wenhai has never been in charge of the front line, but has been in the rear to appease the people, let alone interfere in Sima Cuo's military defense, but at this moment he really couldn't help but speak: "I said Sima Cuo, are you in the water in your brain?"
Or was he kicked by a donkey?
Why do you believe whatever he says?
He said that these ships can destroy the enemy, can they destroy the enemy?
He said that this was left by the prince, is this what the prince left?
He said that he was the prince's man, was he the prince's man?
Won't you seal it?
What if he was a spy sent by the enemy?
” "I really don't have to worry about this."
Sima Cuo turned his head and smiled: "I believe that Brother Benyin is not that kind of person, he is really someone sent by the prince." ” "I ......"
Guan Wenhai is about to cry, what are you talking about?
Just because you believe in the cause, you can bet on the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the entire coconut port?
Even if you are a brain-dead fan of the prince, you shouldn't be brain-dead to this extent, right?
In fact, the reason why Sima Cuo believes so much is also his reason - things have come to this time, the enemy's plan can be said to be a complete success, and then he only needs to fight with the rebels before and after to easily destroy himself, there is no need to send another dead soldier as a spy to fool himself, this is really redundant.
Secondly, even if the enemy wants to send a spy, he should at least send a Tang man, so that he can better gain his trust, but the reason is that he is a black man, not that he is discriminated against or anything, the question is who would send a black man to fool himself?
Even if there is no Tang people, you should send a spy with a similar skin color to the Tang people, right?
After all, the black man's goal is too obvious, and it can be said that it is the color of Ben Yin's skin that provides him with a strong guarantee.
The third is because of his own identity, since he claims to be a close confidant of the prince, he should naturally carry a token of the prince, and it will be the kind of token that is unique and cannot be imitated by others.
Therefore, Sima Cuo only needs to open his mouth to ask for a token, so can't the identity of Ben Yin be proved?
If it is really a cronie of the prince, then his token must be able to be taken out, and everything is naturally good to me.
But if this identity is fake, then he will definitely not be able to take out the token, so is it meaningful to send this spy - the enemy doesn't know that he Sima Cuo did not ask for a token from Ben Yin, on the contrary, it is estimated that they still think that Sima Cuo will definitely ask for a token, after all, this is human nature.
To sum up, Ben Yin's identity is eight or nine inseparable from ten, and he is really a secret hand left by the prince, so Sima Cuo simply did not check the token, and it can be regarded as handing over Ben Yin and selling a favor to him.
"Oh, aren't you trying to prove my identity?
This is too simple, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left me a token.
Ben Yin directly took out a big sword: "This is the prince's portable sword, a unique sword in the world, you should be able to recognize it, right?"
” "Could it be that this is the legendary Blue Sword?"
Sima Cuo and Guan Wenhai were taken aback, and their eyes became a little eager.
Although Li Zhen has not been on the battlefield in these years, his blue sword is unusually famous, not only because of the legendary experience of this sword, but more importantly, this sword saved Li Shimin's life about five years ago - with the merit of saving the driver, the reputation of this sword will naturally spread.
It is said that five years ago, Li Shimin drove back to Chang'an from Lingnan, and as a son, Li Zhen naturally wanted to give him a ride.
But their entourage was ambushed by the enemy on the way to Quanzhou (originally Li Zhen was going to arrange for Li Shimin to take a boat directly in Yuezhou Port, but Li Shimin temporarily changed his mind and wanted to see Li Zhen's achievements in Lingnan over the years before leaving, so he switched to boarding the ship from Quanzhou) was ambushed by the enemy, not to mention the enemy's exquisite martial arts, but more importantly, their equipment was very good - Li Shimin's guards were equipped with sophisticated equipment manufactured by Chang'an Arsenal.
But this is such a piece of equipment, when it fights the enemy, it actually breaks at the touch of it, as if they are not holding steel weapons, but wooden products......
With sophisticated equipment and martial arts that are not inferior to the guards, Li Shimin's guards suffered heavy casualties, and the firearms battalion was too dangerous (as I explained before, because of the danger of gunpowder, the firearms battalion was separated from the large army during transportation) was still hanging far in the rear, and it didn't take half an hour not to think about coming......
Seeing that the enemy was about to penetrate the defenses of the guards and came to Li Shimin's palace, the situation at that time was really critical.
