Chapter 238: The Chessboard Has Changed

In the winter of 1679, after the first heavy snowfall, the roads in Shandong and Lianghe became difficult to walk. The Hu people rode horses and stepped on the snow to come and go, and their species were more cold-tolerant than the Han people, and it was the time of the Dali Jin Army in the sky. But strangely, the Jin army's offensive became a little sluggish, even a little clumsy.

Of course, this kind of sluggishness and clumsiness is not reflected in the movements of the Jin soldiers on the battlefield, but in the strategic mobilization of the Jin soldiers, and only a few generals with strategic vision such as Liu Qi, Zhao Li, Wang Xuan, and Zong Ying can find this change in the Jin army.

"Is there something going on behind them?" Liu Qi quickly thought about whether it would be a power struggle at the top of the Jin Kingdom. After this period of running-in, Liu Qi has long known the details of the Han Department, knows that the high-level officials of the Han Department have very deep and extensive connections in Jinguo, and even knows that the real masters of Shandong today are not Wang Shizhong, but Chen Zhenghui and Zhao Li. So he moved the book to Zhao Li and asked him to inquire about the news. Zhao Li reported to Yang Yingqi through Chen Zhenghui, on the one hand, to give feedback on the abnormality of the Jin army on the battlefield in Shandong, and on the other hand, to ask Yang Yingqi if there was any change in Huining.

After Yang Yingqi received the report, he also felt puzzled, Huining was full of secret sons of the Han Ministry, if something happened that even Zonghan Zongfu, who was far away in Shandong, knew about it, the Jinmen side would not have received any news. At present, the Jin army has an abnormality in the situation in Shandong, and there will be no reason for it - is it not Huining that has the problem, but in Zong Han and Zong Fu's army?

"Seven Generals......" Yang Pu boldly guessed: "It won't be Zong Han or Zong Fu who is seriously ill...... Or even dead, right? ”

Yang Kaiyuan and Yang Yingqi were all stunned when they heard this, thinking that if the Jin army was about to fight and was handsome, it would indeed have a very serious impact, but this was too lucky for the Han Department, right?

In the following days, Yang Yingqi found that it was not only Shandong that had abnormalities! It's that the entire Daikin's domestic and foreign affairs are changing!

In fact, it was not Yang Yingqi who first discovered this change, but Cao Guangbi!

He was trapped in Taiyuan with less than 10,000 troops, the silver art in the south could have the strength to deal with him and Wang Yan at the same time, and there was a large army in the clouds in the north that would be suppressed at any time.

Soon after the successful attack on Taiyuan, news came from the north: Yelu Yujian's army had gone south! The Jin army is moving so fast! Within ten days, Yelu Yujian's army arrived at Yanmen Pass and approached Taiyuan! Of course, Cao Guangbi didn't know at this time that this army under the banner of Yelu Yu was actually manipulated by Wanyan Xiyin in secret. However, whether it is Wanyan Xiyin or Yelu Yujian, it is not something that Cao Guangbi can easily deal with at present.

During this period of time, Wang Yan launched attacks on Yinshuke one after another, but Yinshu Ke not only held steadily, but even had the strength to put pressure on Taiyuan. Chong Yansong suggested abandoning Taiyuan, concentrating his forces to break through the weaker defense line of Yinshu Ke in Liaozhou, and return to Longde Mansion to join Wang Yan.

"Wait." Cao Guangbi persevered, although the situation in front of him was dangerous, he believed that the news of "people in Taiyuan" would not be groundless. Since it is not groundless, then something big may happen in the north!

Sure enough, after the "Yelu Yu Army" arrived at Yanmen Pass, they did not continue to move south to approach Taiyuan, and the spies could not find out the reason why the soldiers and horses in Yunzhong did not continue to go south, but only knew that the Jin Army cut off various roads and set up checkpoints to search for spies!

"Could it be...... Really escaped? Cao Guangbi knew what it meant for Jin Bing to suddenly start a large-scale search for "spies", so he was both surprised and worried. Now he is only guessing what happened to Yunzhong Mansion, and he has not been able to get a definite news whether things are going well or not. But Jin Jun's anomaly was enough for him to make up his mind to persevere in Taiyuan.

"Gotta stay here!" Cao Guangbi thought that if Zhi Yan rushed out of trouble, it would be a great possibility to come to Taiyuan to meet him, and he had to persist for this possibility. At this time, tens of thousands of nearby rebels entered Taiyuan to join the division, and Cao Guangbi took the loyal army as the main force to defend the city, and sent these rebels to attack the nearby county seats, collect grain and grass, and increase the city defense! Yinshuke didn't know the news of Zhiyanchong's escape at this time, but when he saw that the movements of the two armies in the north were different, he was shocked and turned conservative again, correspondingly, Wang Yan also saw a good opportunity to enter the army from Yinshuke's attitude, and the Shangdang army was once again preparing to attack with high morale. In January, the strength of Hedong's troops underwent three major changes! And all this is because of Orihiko Chong!

This rescue operation of Zhi Yanchong, whether it is Cao Guangbi or Han Fang's secrecy work done in advance, they not only have to hide from the enemy, but even their own people for the needs of the operation! Han Fang didn't release the news in order to escape smoothly after rescuing Zhi Yanchong, and Cao Guangbi was also very cautious because he couldn't figure out the situation in Yunzhong, but after the abnormality of the soldiers and horses in Yanmen Pass, he knew that it was time to inform Yang Yingqi.

The five Mizi sent out by Cao Guangbi traveled from the mountain road to the east, and none of them had any letters on them, but only brought a message to Yang Yingqi: "I am a trapped tiger in Taiyuan, and the trapped tiger may have been released from the cage!" ”

However, before these secrets arrived in Tanggu and Shandong, Ouyang Shi also discovered that something big had happened in the Jin Kingdom!

Before the news of Zhiyanchong's escape reached Huining, Tart Lazy and Ouyang Shi were pressing step by step when negotiating. At that time, the situation in Shandong was still very unfavorable to the Han Ministry, and it was more and more unfavorable, so there was no hurry at all for this negotiation, and the conditions offered were becoming more and more harsh. But after hearing that Zheyan escaped from the city, even Wu Qimai was so shocked that he couldn't sleep for several days! After discussing with Zonggan, Zongpan and the others, they felt that they should weaken the Han Department before Orihiko rushed back to Jinmen! Therefore, Tart Lazy became active in negotiations, and the conditions offered were slightly relaxed, and even hinted at Ouyang Shi: as long as Yang Yingqi was handed over, the Jurchens could support him to control the Han Ministry, and even let Shandong go, so as to enhance Ouyang Shi's prestige in the Han Ministry.

This lazy suggestion made Ouyang Shi's heart flutter, but after Chen Xian heard about it, he hit the nail on the head and pointed out that this matter was different, he said: "If things go against common sense, they are demons!" Fourth general, this matter cannot be agreed! ”

Ouyang Shi said: "But the few guarantees they put forward can really reassure me." ”

"That's wrong!" Chen Xian said: "Why should they reassure the four generals? Why think so much about the four generals? Is it really for the four generals? Definitely not! The attitude of the golden people has suddenly changed, and there must be something big happening! We can't agree to anything until we know what's going on inside them! ”

Ouyang Shi said: "But now Shandong is in danger, I'm afraid things can't be delayed!" ”

Chen Xiandao: "Yes, the situation in Shandong is critical, and it is becoming more and more unfavorable to us, so we are not in a hurry before, we are in a hurry!" But now they are in a hurry in turn, and there is a lot of article in this! ”

Ouyang Shi asked, "What article?" ”

"I don't know." Chen Xiandao: "But the changes in this may be more serious than the gains and losses in Shandong!" ”

Ouyang Shi heard that he had resisted the temptation of selfish desires here, regained his senses, and said, "Yes, since they are in a hurry, then something more serious must have happened than the capture of Shandong!" Good! Since they are in a hurry, then we will slow down and see what tricks they are doing! ”

Soon the news of the Jin people's large-scale search in Yanjing Road came out, although the Yanjing officials did not say what they were searching, but it was impossible for such a large-scale operation not to attract the attention of the Han Ministry. Ouyang Shiguang sent Mizi to inquire about the news, and soon heard that the first place to search for "spies" was not Yanjing, but Yunzhong Mansion!

Yunzhongfu!

Yang Yingqi and Ouyang Shi didn't know where Zhi Yanchong was detained at this time, but they knew that Zhi Yanchong had been transferred to Zong Han's custody. And Yunzhong Mansion is Zong Han's base camp!

"What the hell are they searching for?"

Before Cao Guangbi's envoy arrived, everyone at the top of the Han Ministry was thinking about this problem! Judging by the time of the incident, the anomalies in Huining and Shandong are obviously related to the large-scale search in Yunzhong and Yanjing!

"Seventh General," Yang Pu said, "who are they searching for?" ”

Person? Yes, it should be people, not things! So who are they searching for?

"Could it be ......" Chen Xian was so excited that his beard trembled.

"Could it be ......" Yang Kaiyuan closed his eyes.

"Could it be ......" Ouyang Shi opened his mouth wide, stunned that he couldn't say the following words!

"Could it be ......" Yang Yingqi's unbelievable expression didn't know whether he was so excited that he wanted to cry or wanted to laugh out loud: "Could it be that the eldest brother has already gotten out of trouble?" ”
