"As for the situation in Hebei, all signs indicate that there has been internal strife within the thieves, and the reason why they did not fight back against Yan Fujun's actions should be that they are in a hurry to go north to seize power!"

Finally, Qin Jin expressed his final opinion, which was not all groundless speculation, but a reasonable inference made after summarizing a lot of information.

The spies of the Shenwu Army had infiltrated Hebei as early as the second year of Zhide, and after several years of operation, it had developed into a large intelligence network. In fact, the work of secret agents is not complicated and mysterious, most of the time they are only investigating and recording the travel tracks of important officials within the rebels, as well as many emergencies among the people, and even some inconspicuous incidents will be recorded and sent to Chang'an as soon as possible.

A special office set up by the Shenwu Army in Chang'an will systematically analyze these aggregated information, although there is a lag of about seven days, but for this era, it is already a rare efficiency.

"Infighting?"

Fifth Qi and Wei Jiansu spoke in unison, neither of them expected the situation that Qin Jin said.

"Is there any solid evidence for the doctor's words?"

Qin Jin pointed to the stack of official documents on the desk in front of him, those were the final conclusions reached after the summary and analysis of the intelligence sent to Chang'an from all over the country.

It was with this information as a basis that Qin Jin boldly decided to send Yan Zhenqing to appease the victims in the name of governor Hebei Province, and at the same time bring the power vacuum that emerged after the famine into the control of the imperial court.

"The two ministers first looked at these official documents and felt that they could be used as conclusive evidence!"

In fact, Fifth Qi and Wei Jiansu were both a little dazed by Qin Jin's leaping words. The two men each took half of the stack of official documents and squinted their eyes to look at it carefully. Although the two are the prime ministers of the political hall, they have never had the right to meddle in the internal affairs of the Shenwu Army, and they have never seen the official documents within the Shenwu Army. Therefore, the two of them are full of curiosity.

Sure enough, there was a big difference between the official documents that were common within the Shenwu Army and the official documents of the Political Affairs Hall, and Fifth Qi, as a very capable prime minister, could see the difference between the two at a glance.

The official documents and recitals that the government hall disposes of every day often have to quote scriptures, and even show a few talents and attainments in harmless places. These official documents of the Shenwu Army are very different, in addition to being concise and concise, when describing specific quantities, such as traveling cars and horses, they are all expressed in precise numbers. This point is very different from the official documents of the political affairs hall, because ordinary officials will only use some vague expressions, such as several, tens of thousands and so on.

Among the stacks of official documents that Fifth Qi watched, one of them aroused his great interest, which recorded and analyzed Shi Chaoyi's every move in Yecheng in detail, and even recorded the specific time when he went out of the city several times a day.

is listed together with Shi Chaoyi's travel records, as well as Shi Siming's records. Shi Siming left Fanyang and headed south half a month ago under the escort of the forbidden army, and stationed in Feixiang, less than 100 miles northeast of Yecheng.

Then there is no record, because Shi Chaoyi suddenly completely closed Yecheng one day, not allowing the people to enter and leave freely, and according to the sporadic news sent back by secret agents in other places, Shi Siming's men and horses have been heading north one after another, and even reached the Zhending area.

What made Fifth Qi wonder was why Shi Siming left Fan Yang and went south to Feixiang in Yecheng, and Shi Chaoyi, as Shi Siming's eldest son, neither went to Feixiang to meet him, nor did he have any welcome moves, which was not in line with common sense.

However, it is even more unreasonable, Shi Chaoyi's soldiers and horses went north one after another, but there was no news of Shi Siming's opposition, and there was not even a trace of stopping.

Unless Shi Chaoyi no longer cares about Shi Siming's feelings, or even Shi Siming's feelings have long been out of deterrence at this time.

Even if this kind of intelligence record is analyzed by Fifth Qi, the conclusion must be that there is internal strife within the thief.

He had no doubts about the ability of the Shenwu Army's secret agents, and only based on the Shenwu Army's record of almost not tasting a single defeat over the years, it was already the best in the world. Whether it is the menacing An Lushan rebels or the savage and brave Tubo soldiers, didn't they all fall into the hands of the Shenwu Army in the end?

After realizing this, the worry when Fifth Qi first came to see Qin Jin had turned into a faint excitement.

"It's not the first time that a traitor has killed his father with a son, isn't An Lushan killed for his son An Qingxu? Now that Shi Chaoyi killed Shi Siming, I'm afraid it's not strange!"

Fifth Qi is a bold person, and the assumption is naturally extremely bold. The overseer sitting opposite him just stared at the official documents in his hand, carefully watching them one by one, and did not say a word.

"If the thief Chaoyi really killed his father with his son, it would be too cautious to just let Yan Fujun open up the private camp!"

Just now, the Fifth Qi also fiercely opposed the development of private enterprises in Hebei Province to help the victims. However, in the blink of an eye, he felt that it was not enough to just open a private camp to accept the displaced people, and that he should also take advantage of the situation to attack Hebei and take the rebels by surprise, and maybe he would be able to take Fan Yang in one go! In this way, the planned three-to-five-year war would be completed in one year, which would be a rare blessing for the imperial court and the people of the world.

"The subordinates are not talented, I would like to ask Ying to go to Luoyang and supervise the transfer of grain!"

Qin Jin smiled, Fifth Qi had just been clearly opposed, and now he was actually going to take the initiative to ask for help, it seemed that he also smelled something from the inside of the thief.

Now the historical thief rebels entrenched in Hebei Province are grasshoppers after the autumn, and there are only a few days left to be alive and jumping, and the imperial court has formed a situation of encircling them on three sides. Henan, Hedong, and the Hui troops outside the Saiwai were all prepared, and even if there were no changes in Shi Thief's interior, the plan for the attack would be in order...... At this time, I can give an order to Du Fu and Lu Qi in Hedong and let them act on camera!"

"There are only 50,000 Shenwu troops in Hedong, even if Du Fujun and Lu Jiedu intend to enter Hedong, I'm afraid they will be stretched, right?"

Qin Jin smiled, the total number of the Shenwu army did not exceed 150,000, the land of Henan was around 80,000, and there were 50,000 people stationed in Hedong, which already accounted for thirty percent, and the number was by no means small. In contrast, it was the Shenwu army in Guanzhong that had the smallest number.

Therefore, 50,000 people is for Lu Qi, as long as it is used well, its role is not inferior to 500,000.

At this time, Fifth Qi glanced at Wei Jiansu, who had never spoken, but suddenly found that his face was gray and ugly, and his heart was immediately moved, where did the official documents he saw come from?

……

The land of Hebei, Fanyang City, Feng Changqing looked up at the tall and majestic city tower, this is the place where he thinks about it day and night, once upon a time, how could he have imagined that he would fall into such a field. Getting closer and closer to the goal, Feng Changqing became a little uneasy.

Zheng Jing and Zhang Yan are both very easy to deal with, one is good and the other loves the name, and they made a promise to the two, and they have already sworn that they are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light.

The situation has developed to this day, and I am afraid that even a fool can see that Shi Thief Siming has reached the end of his rope, and once the counterinsurgency army of the imperial court is surrounded on three sides, where will there be their way to live? Feng Changqing only hated that he did not have enough strength to take the opportunity to capture Fan Yang, and it was a last resort to take the risk of using conspiracy and tricks.

"Doctor Feng, I just received a military order from the city, let us camp on the spot along the outside of the city gate, and we are not allowed to enter the city without a life!"

Zheng Jing's face wore a hint of unease, and he obviously realized that it was not safe to be stationed outside the city, and he could face the attack of Shi Chaoyi's rebels at any time.

"Zhang Yan has already gone back to recover his life, for a while, I'm afraid, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out, doctor, let's have an idea......"

At this time, Zheng Jing was already panicking, the intention of this military order was obvious, that is, to put them outside as death, in order to block the advance of Shi Chaoyi's rebels. Arriving at the foot of Fanyang City, in addition to their accidents, there were also people from all walks of life in other military towns, stirring up the black smoke miasma outside the city.

Finally, some of the unruly men saw that they could not enter the city, and were regarded as ghosts to send them to death, so fortunately they patted their butts and roared away. Many people in the military towns also left, but about half of the men remained.

Feng Changqing didn't plan to leave, since he came to Fanyang City, he had to hold on to the end, and then he could only improvise.

Camping, digging ditches, and sealing Changqing's department have long been extremely proficient, and even if they close their eyes, they can complete all the work in an hour, which can make Zheng Jing stunned. This kind of work, if it were his people, would not have been possible to accomplish without two or three hours, and it was far inferior in quality.

Wooden fences and ditches were necessary for camping, and even though they had less than two thousand men, they were still in good shape.

In the evening, a team of people and horses suddenly groped to find it, and to Feng Changqing's surprise, it was Qiu Bai, the envoy from Hedong, who came to take the lead.

"If you don't return to Hedong to resume your life, why did you come to Fanyang in person?"

He didn't expect that this person would dare to come to this Fan Yang, no matter what his purpose was, this courage alone was enough to impress him.

Qiu Bai was also lucky, if there were not people and horses from various military towns outside Fanyang City, he would have been killed by the patrolling cavalry. All in all, this person's luck was extremely good, not only was he not blocked, but he found Feng Changqing smoothly.

"The subordinates are also here with the intention of making meritorious contributions, if they return to Hedong, this little Sima still doesn't know what year and month he will do!"
