Chapter 166 Super Spy

While Wei Jichen was silently cursing the system in his heart, Katsura Taro suddenly woke up and no longer looked confused as before.

"Wei Jun!" Guitaro suddenly got down, crawled in front of Wei Jichen, and shouted respectfully.

Wei Jichen came back to his senses and saw that Guitaro's actions were humble and his mind seemed to be very clear. He couldn't help but secretly marveled in his heart, and asked with a smile: "Guitaro, do you still remember what happened before?"

"Returning to Wei Jun, I remember clearly that I am Katsura Taro, the division commander of Japan's 3rd Division, and it was a powerful man like Wei Jun who defeated me. Only a powerful man like Wei Jun can lead With the rise of the Eastern nations, it is my honor to be able to stay by Wei Jun's side and serve for Wei Jun!" Guitaro said excitedly as he crawled to Wei Jichen's side, actually bent down, hugged Wei Jichen's shoes and kissed him! stand up.

Wei Jichen was so frightened that he almost kicked him away. It seemed that this system was really powerful. It was able to turn himself into the god in Katsura's mind while his mind was not damaged and his memory was still there.

"Okay, Katsuragi, please get up. Don't call me Wei Jun or Wei Jun anymore. It sounds a little awkward to me, so just call me "sir." Wei Jichen said in a gentle tone.

After slowing down and seeing Guitaro nodding his head repeatedly, Wei Jichen asked again: "Also, don't show respect for me when in front of others."

"Yes, sir." Katsura stood up immediately, but he still bowed his head and looked respectful.

When Wei Jichen saw his actions, he suddenly had a brilliant idea in his mind.

That is, Katsura Taro can be used as a super spy, and Katsura Taro will be handed over to the court. Regardless of the prisoner exchange after the war, Katsura Taro was exchanged back by the Japanese.

Or let Katsura Taro betray Japan and defect to the Qing court, he will be a suitable double agent.

Katsura Taro has deep connections in Japan. Even if he was captured once, relying on these connections, he might be able to make a comeback again and break into the top levels of the Japanese government.

If you surrender to the Qing court, you are more likely to be reused by the Qing court. After all, after this Sino-Japanese war, the Qing Dynasty no longer dared to underestimate Japan, and Guangxu also intended to reform.

In the original history, Guangxu wanted to ask Ito Hirobumi as a consultant, but he gave up because of Cixi's intervention. If Katsura Taro betrayed his motherland and defected to the Qing court, would he be afraid that he would not be reused?

It seemed that the value of Guitaro had far exceeded his talent. Wei Jichen became excited. It turned out that slaves could still be used in this way.

But there is no need to rush into this matter, at least it will be done after the war.

Now, let's ask him if he knows some of the Japanese plans to deal with him.

Thinking of this, Wei Jichen took out Lin Zhixing's letter, handed it to Gui Tailang and said, "Gui Tailang, take a look to see if there is any conspiracy in it."

Katsura didn't dare to neglect, and quickly read through it after taking it.

After a moment, he took a rough look at it and replied with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Sir, I can be sure that these are the masterpieces of the Imperial Intelligence Department. It must be that the Imperial Intelligence Department just couldn't assassinate them and thought of other strategies."

Guitaro couldn't say anything for a while, so Wei Jichen didn't care about him. This was just right, so as not to make others suspicious.

"Can you guess who it is?" Wei Jichen asked with a frown.

Katsura Taro didn't think much and immediately replied: "Sir, in my estimation, this matter must be led by Kawakami Soroku. The previous bomb assassination incident was also led by Kawakami Soroku himself. The base camp has already listed you. As an important figure in the must-kill target, Kawakami Soroku is the person in charge of intelligence against China, and he is responsible for all these matters. "

Katsura Taro, Soroku Kawakami, and Gentaro Kodama were known as the Meiji Army Sanyu Karasu, and they knew each other very well.

Kawakami fucks six!

Wei Jichen's information immediately emerged in Wei Jichen's mind. Kawakami Cao Liu was the person who Li Hongzhang led him to Tianjin, his coastal defense center, for inspection one year before the war started.

】

In the end, Kawakami Soroku came to the conclusion through this inspection that the Qing Dynasty was extremely corrupt and the Qing army's combat effectiveness was extremely low. He was convinced that the Qing government would lose in war. He didn't know what Li Hongzhang showed him to come to this conclusion. .

If you ask who started the Sino-Japanese War, Kawakami Soroku was definitely one of the leaders.

After the Donghak Party uprising in North Korea, it was he who directed the Japanese Black Dragon Society to infiltrate the North Korean peasant army and provoke disputes between China and Japan. After the war began, he directed the Japanese minister to North Korea, Oshima Keisuke, to immediately lead troops to Seoul and occupy strategic positions. favorable terrain.

Unexpectedly, Kawakami Soroku would now be targeting him. It seems that his status in the hearts of the Japanese is really not light.

It's a pity that my strength is too weak now, so I can't do anything to him for the time being. However, I have taken note of this grudge myself. One day, Kawakami Soliu, you will die in my hands. Wei Jichen thought that he was also responsible for his assassination. He couldn't help but said bitterly in his heart.

In Ximu City, the old and new Hunan armies of Li Guangjiu and Wei Guangtao have been attacking for four consecutive days. Although the Japanese suffered many casualties, the Hunan army as the attacker suffered even greater casualties.

The most important thing is that the city is still in the hands of Osako Naotoshi.

In the city government office, the commander of the 5th Brigade, Shang Min, and his two captains, Miyoshi Nariyuki and Sato Masaru, were plotting in a secret room.

"You two, now that our 5th Brigade has caused a lot of casualties to the Hunan Army, it's time to retreat. The headquarters and the commander, Mr. Nozu Michikuni, both believe that Ximu City is not worth occupying. Now our army should shrink its forces and ensure that several large cities in Liaodong are not lost. Occupying a city surrounded by enemies will only slowly wear down the Empire's forces." Osako Naotoshi first made the headquarters' intentions clear, emphasizing that he was not retreating because of fear, but because he wanted to preserve his strength.

^.^,

The two brigade commanders nodded in understanding.

Sato Masa said at the same time: "In that case, it's time to implement Kawakami-kun's plan."

"Yes, I plan to send an envoy to the Qing army camp tomorrow to propose a suspension of the exchange of fire, and our army will withdraw and hand over Ximu City to them." Osako Naoto continued with a smile: "I'm afraid that the Qing army generals Li Guangjiu and Wei Guangtao will be furious at that time."

"Kawakami-kun's trick of alienation is really wonderful." Miyoshi Chengxing praised sincerely.

"Okay, everything will be known tomorrow." Osako Naoto yawned as he said.

The two brigade commanders said goodbye and left tactfully.

The next morning, in the Qing army camp outside the city, Li Guangjiu and Wei Guangtao were discussing today's siege in the general's tent.

Both of them looked a little sad, and some of the battalion officers standing below were actually bandaged with gauze, obviously they were seriously injured, which shows that the battle situation in the past few days was fierce.

"I didn't expect that only two thousand Japanese soldiers could resist my army's attack for four consecutive days." Li Guangjiu continued with some annoyance: "Today, we must intensify our offensive and seize Ximu City as soon as possible, otherwise the enemy will come to reinforce and our efforts in the past few days will be in vain."

Li Guangjiu didn't expect that others wanted to give up this small city.

Just as Wei Guangtao was about to speak, a battalion officer from the old Hunan Army said, "Sir, it's not that the brothers didn't work hard. You've seen that the brothers have been fighting for their lives these days, but the damn Japanese just won't retreat a step. They just rely on the solid city walls to shoot and kill the brothers. If this continues, I'm afraid the brothers will complain."

Li Guangjiu was silent, and Wei Guangtao sighed and said, "I finally understand why Wei Jichen pretended to be dead to lead the Japanese out of the city."

When several people were thinking hard, a soldier came in to report that several Japanese claimed to be envoys from Ximu City and asked for an audience outside the camp.

"Emissary? Could it be that the Japanese in Ximu City couldn't resist and wanted to surrender?" Li Guangjiu was stunned at first, and then said with surprise.

When others heard him say this, they all smiled.

Wei Guangtao suddenly stood up and shouted, "Let those Japanese envoys come in."
