Chapter 6: Spies

Of course, Mr. Yi does not have the surname Yi, but he is used to using a title, and after a few years, even he sometimes feels that he has this surname. As the director of the Dayuan Intelligence Station in Luzhou, oh no, it should be said that he is the governor of the Zhongshu Right Chengxing Privy Jianghuai Fang, and almost everyone knows Mr. Yi's identity here, and even the Song people who want to open up the northern trade route have also made friends with him.

Of course, his main mission is to explore the defense of the Song people's Lianghuai, and the focus of his recent work has been on the wooing of Xia Gui, but although he can often enter and leave the marshal's mansion, and even occasionally get a special order to go out of the city freely, but the attitude of the marshal is always ambiguous, and he does not say yes or no, and he sends people away with a sentence of "the time has not come".

Today's messenger sent his Jianyì, for this kind of lord who does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles, he still has to start from two aspects, militarily, he should be heavily pressed, and politically, and the benefits promised to him may as well be more. Even if it is the "Shizhen Huaixi" he wants, it is not impossible, anyway, if you want to take it back, you just need to find a mistake.

In recent days, he felt more and more perfunctory to Xia Gui to himself, and it was not until later that the merchants who came from Jiangnan learned that it was because of the defeat of the army to conquer the south, and his subordinates advised him that it was better to withdraw first and then make a plan, but he did not hesitate at all, Xia Gui no one knows better than him what the situation is, this person's greed for money and power has almost become a separation, how can he do something that cuts off his own back road.

Alas, Mr. Yi sighed for no reason, if the counties along the river were surrendered that day, and the army pressed to Huaixi first, maybe Xia Gui would have been forced to raise the city to vote, so he would no longer have to stay here to suffer from the bird's anger, such a great achievement, the Great Khan would definitely give the silver tiger talisman, right? Thinking of that dazzling little thing, Mr. Yi's heart rippled a little.

"Shopkeeper, the person has already left the city, but the letter card has been collected by the guard, and if you want to use it next time, you have to go to the Shuaifu to find someone to pass through the joint." A personal entourage who had just sent off the messenger came to report, and Mr. Yi nodded to indicate that he knew, and this matter was within his expectations, but it was just to collect one more fortune.

"Is there a new item arriving today?" The merchant inn he runs will also do normal business, the furs and medicinal materials in the north can be sold at high prices in the south, and then collect some seafood and cloth from the south, and the money earned is also a lot, but most of it is used by him for the joints and customs, of course, this qiē is worth it.

"Just about to report this matter, our caravan is the city that Shen Shi entered at the end of the time, and this will still be in the warehouse, Ma Tou Lao Xu brought a letter to the shopkeeper, because he didn't find anyone, so he just handed it over to the small one." After receiving the letter handed over by his relatives, Mr. Yi did not open it on the spot, but turned around and entered the house.

The letter was sent from Ezhou, and it seemed to be just an ordinary letter from home, and Mr. Yi converted them into a pre-agreed code word, so that he could understand the true meaning of it. The army was indeed defeated, and he leaned back on the back of his chair with his forehead stroked, although it was not as exaggerated as the merchant had rumored, and it was also a fiasco.

During this period of time, his work was not effective, and there was a faint dissatisfaction in the letter, Xia Gui actually took the initiative to send troops to attack Huang, Qi and other places, so that the Yuan army that had not completely retreated was a little caught off guard, but fortunately, the defenders finally supported the return of Ali Hague, which kept most of the territory of the two states still in the hands of their own people.

In the letter, he hoped that he could persuade Xia Gui to restore the situation of mutual non-aggression in the past few months, which was the minimum requirement for his work, Mr. Yi could imagine the anger on the side of Ezhou, but he didn't express it in words, but when he saw the things mentioned in the letter, he had a headache, Xia Gui didn't tell himself about the army at all, and judging from the attitude of today's meeting, this matter was not easy to do, and he had to spend some money and take a roundabout route.

Yangluo Fort is only 30 miles away from Ezhou City, it was an important fortress of the Song army on the Jinghu defense line, before the Yuan people marched south, first attacked Ezhou Buke, and then crossed the strong city to go here, fought a bloody battle in the middle of the river, defeated Xia Gui's 100,000 boat division, beat him and fled, and then attacked with victory, and finally conquered this fort, Dutong Wang Da and more than 8,000 people under his command died.

Now, the banner on the city wall has changed owners, the Yuan people also regard it as the Ezhou barrier, attach great importance to its defense, Xia Gui's army has no intention of attacking the city at all, after confronting the defenders for a few days, after finding that the enemy's reinforcements are coming, they immediately retracted to the starting place.

Ali Hague looked at the dark sky in the distance, the shadow of the Song people had long been gone, and he did not order the night pursuit, a large part of Huangzhou was mountainous, in that kind of terrain, his own cavalry could not play much role, but the Song people were in danger in the mountains, he didn't want to fight such a battle.

What he didn't know was that the vast mountainous area was the famous Dabie Mountain, which stretched between Huaixi and Jinghu Lake and extended to the vicinity of the river, which can be described as a natural barrier, which is why the Yuan people went down the river and did not touch the Huaixi that was close at hand.

A few days ago, when the boat of the handsome Boyan passed from Ezhou, he went to meet him, he didn't know if he didn't see it, he couldn't believe that the person in front of him who was haggard and a little depressed was the commander of the tiger and wolf army who was still full of spirit and threatened to swallow the world a few months ago, and he was only forty years old, Ali Hague clearly saw the white hair that had been slightly exposed on his sideburns.

After some talking, Ali Hague felt a deep confusion, Boyan has always been heavy with soldiers, and there are no obvious mistakes and omissions in the entire deployment of troops, but why did they lose so badly, neither of them came to a definite conclusion, what is even more strange is that the legendary Jiankang City Song Coach Wang Lixin, there has been news that he died of illness shortly after the war, Boyan really can't accept that he was defeated by a person who is close to entering the ground.

After the separation, Ali Hague returned here, but the Song army in front of him was no different from what he had seen before, he just showed his banner, and the enemy who was not inferior in numbers began to retreat, in order to prevent fraud, he did not order the pursuit, and as a result, the Song people ran away without a trace, which made him very puzzled.

Linked to the battle in neighboring Qizhou, Ali Hague did not believe that such a Song army would defeat the army under Boyan, if it were not for the fact that the results had been confirmed. He even wanted to take his subordinates to attack Huaixi directly to see if the Song people had really suddenly changed their sex, but unfortunately he was just thinking about it, he was a cautious person and needed solid evidence.

Therefore, in fact, the war in the two states of Huang and Qi has ended, and the two armies are on guard against each other from a long distance, but they have no intention of taking the initiative to attack, and at the same time, groups of spies disguised as all kinds of people, etc., are heading towards the state capitals along the river, and their ultimate goal is still the Jiankang City that has caused tens of thousands of Yuan people to lose their teachers.

The time when the G7596 high-speed train arrives at Luyang Station is 10:43 p.m. in the imperial capital, which is very late even if it is put in modern times, and wait until Liu Yu arrives at the selected crossing point. Basically, there are no people in sight, Luyang City, as the capital of Anhui Province, has developed into a modern metropolis, and the ancient city wall that still existed during the founding of the People's Republic of China was later demolished, and the approximate range is in the area of the Huancheng Park.

Jiao crossbow platform, built in the Three Kingdoms period, next to Xiaoyaojin Park, the Mingjiao Temple on the platform was rebuilt in the late Qing Dynasty, its history can also be traced back to the Song Dynasty. Of course, Liu Yu chose not the Buddhist temple, but another relic on the platform, an ancient well built in the Wei and Jin dynasties, because the well mouth is higher than the ridge of the street flat house, named "the house on the well".

From the brightly lit modern city to the dark ancient times, although Liu Yu is not the first behavior, his eyes are still in a state of blindness, the surroundings are too dark, if it is not blocked by the well fence, maybe he will fall into the well accidentally.

Liu Yu bent down on the stage, waited for his eyes to adapt for a while, and then began to look around, the platform is very high, you can see most of Luzhou City at a glance, and the lights in the distance appear and disappear in the night sky, far less than the prosperous scene of the big city. The side is surrounded by a high earthen wall, which should be the Ming Academy in the Song Dynasty, for fear that some monks will come out to fetch water, Liu Yu hid in the corner along the wall and took out the walkie-talkie in his arms.

After receiving a call request from his own Taishou, Li Shiyi didn't pay much attention to it at first, and waited until Liu Yu told him that he was already in the city, which surprised him. He knew where the crossbow platform was, it was not far away, only two streets away, but now there was a curfew, and even if he didn't have to worry about his life when he met a patrolman, this hidden identity was exposed.

"Taishou relaxes, just wait where you are, I'll bring someone to arrive immediately, and I'll finish speaking." Putting down the walkie-talkie, he called all the people in the house, plus there were only eight in the vicinity, even if it was too far, the movement was too big, so he cleaned up, and a few people changed into night clothes, and did not go to the front door, but hung down from the upper edge of the window.

Liu Yu, who was bored, didn't know when they would come, so he hid in the corner and played "Angry Birds" on his mobile phone, and after turning off the sound effect, only a little light was left. Before he could play a few levels, there was a sound of neat footsteps from the audience, and a team of patrolmen walked up with spears in hand, Liu Yu quickly put away his mobile phone, bent down, and stared at the direction of the comer.

"It's too shouke, it's Li Shiyi." As soon as he stepped on the stage, there was a low call in the team, Liu Yu heard it clearly, it was the voice of the guy, this group of people was so bold, I don't know how many patrolmen they overturned, don't let anyone die, he stood up, Shi Shiran came out of the darkness, and greeted his subordinates.

"It's too much of a grievance, this is a patrolman's armor, the person was knocked unconscious and thrown in the alley, two brothers are guarding, we can't stay here for a long time, let's leave quickly." Taking the armor handed by Li Shiyi, Liu Yu hurriedly put it on his body, and then took a spear, and a team of patrolmen lined up in the direction they came. R1058
