In the morning, Guo Song came to the Fenshui Wharf surrounded by dozens of officials and generals, and the Fenshui Wharf in the west of Taiyuan City was full of collected cargo ships, and the grain bales, straw burdens, and various materials on the wharf were piled up, and without sufficient logistical support, the battle of the Southern Expedition could not be talked about.

"Envoy, isn't it too little to rely on these hundreds of ships to carry supplies?" The commander made Ma Weijiang a little worried.

Of course, relying only on the supplies, grain and grass of more than 500 ships could not meet the logistics needs of tens of thousands of troops, and before collecting ships, Guo Song had already ordered the transfer of 10,000 camels to Taiyuan to serve as logistics baggage teams.

10,000 camels loaded with grain have entered Lanzhou and are on their way to Taiyuan City, and Guo Song is also patiently waiting for the arrival of camels.

"Our camel convoy will also arrive soon, but whether it is a ship or a camel convoy, these are just supplements, the key is that we want to seize a bridgehead and get a logistical supply base."

Speaking of this, Guo Song asked Changshi Xue Fandao: "Can Huoyi County dock a thousand stone ships?" ”

"It should be possible, but it will take a lot of manpower to carry food supplies up the canyon."

"I'll arrange this, I just want to know if Huoyi County can dock a large number of ships."

At this time, Xue Fan said cautiously: "Envoy, Li Huaiguang and Zhu Jun have just ended the war, the soldiers are tired and the national strength is weak, so we will attack in the south, is it a little suspicious of taking advantage of the danger of others?" ”

Guo Song smiled and said, "Does Xue Changshi think that history books will be written like this?" ”

Xue Fan didn't know how to answer for a while, Guo Song said lightly: "I think it should be written like this, the Hedong epidemic, the Luze Festival made Li Huaiguang regard the people as grass mustard, the people were displaced, and they were tossed and turned in the ravines. ”

After Guo Song finished speaking, everyone laughed and praised: "The envoy is so right, we are not going to fight, but to fight the epidemic, Li Huaiguang himself is incompetent, and he also obstructs us from saving the people." ”

Guo Song visited the ship, and then led the generals to the barracks, on the way, the commander made Li Bing a little worried: "There are too many officials on the dock, so that the king will tell the military secrets in public, what if it reaches Li Huaiguang's ears?" ”

Guo Song smiled faintly, "How do you know I didn't mean to say it?" ”

Li Bing was stunned, "Isn't it true that Jun Jun doesn't plan to go to Huoyi County?" ”

"The key is not whether I want to go to Huoyi County, but Li Huaiguang doesn't believe it, the soldier's strategy lies in deceiving me, what kind of person Li Huaiguang is, I know very well, I am now raising ships, how can his spies in Taiyuan not know? It depends on how the two sides compete! ”

"Li Huaiguang has spies in Taiyuan?"

Guo Song laughed, "Even Tian Yue, who has little to do with Taiyuan, has spies in Taiyuan, do you think Li Huaiguang, the rival of the Yuan family, will there be?" ”

.........

Li Huaiguang's spy in Taiyuan is a restaurant, called Baifu Restaurant, which can only be regarded as a very inconspicuous mid-range restaurant in Taiyuan, and it is precisely this inconspicuousness that makes it difficult for people to imagine that it is actually Li Huaiguang's intelligence point in Taiyuan.

Of course, Li Huaiguang stayed in Taiyuan for several years, and when he left, he deliberately left some civil and military generals loyal to him in Taiyuan, and the generals were basically purged, but the civil servants were still there, they carefully crawled in the dark, constantly collecting intelligence, constantly providing it to Baifu Restaurant, and also obtaining financial support.

In the past, the scribes collected information from the Yuan family, but now they collect information from the Hexi Army.

At noon, business is booming in the Parkview Restaurant, and the fish in this restaurant is well cooked and very distinctive, winning the favor of many diners who love fish.

Cao Cao of Taiyuan Assassin Mansion joined the army Jiang Houze is a loyal diner of this restaurant and often comes to the restaurant to eat, but if you expand Jiang Houze's resume, you will find that he once served as a soldier in Taiyuan Left-behind Mansion Cao joined the army and was Li Huaiguang's subordinate, so it is not surprising that he is one of Li Huaiguang's undercover agents left in Taiyuan, he once served as a member of the household department of the Northern Tang Dynasty court, and sent Li Huaiguang a lot of important information about the Northern Tang Dynasty.

"Yo! Jiang joined the army and came to patronize the small shop again? ”

The bartender smiled and said, "There is a seat upstairs, please upstairs?" ”

"Is Shopkeeper Han here?"

"In! At! ”

Jiang Houze nodded, "I'm having a treat today, is there a single room?" ”

This is a special term, he wants a private room, it means that he has important information, the bartender immediately understood, and quickly said that there is a private room.

He led Jiang Houze up to the second floor, the left side of the second floor is also the lobby, and on the right side is a row of three elegant rooms, Jiang Houze entered the innermost one.

Not long after, the shopkeeper of the restaurant Han came in a hurry, he entered the room, and pointed to the next door, meaning that there was someone next door.

"I don't know if a few friends want to come, if they don't, I'll go out to eat, I'm embarrassed to occupy a private room."

"That's fine, you're a regular customer, if no one orders a private room, you can eat here."

In a very ordinary conversation between the two, Jiang Houze had already handed a folded note to the shopkeeper Han, who put away the note and said with a smile: "Let's follow the old rules first, three dishes, a pot of wine, and a two-pound braised carp, how about it?" ”

"Yes, please hurry up, there will be something in the afternoon."

"Great! Coming right away. ”

Shopkeeper Han left in a hurry, and after a while, the bartender came in to serve wine and food, and the information had been given, so Jiang Houze ate it with taste.

Shopkeeper Han came to the backyard shopkeeper's room, took out the note given by Jiang Houze, he took out a special thin pen, copied the content of the information on a slender note, and then rolled it into a thin cylinder and put it into a very small reed tube, which is a special letter for pigeon letters.

Shopkeeper Han handed the letter box to a fellow, who immediately mounted a donkey and headed out of the city.

Their pigeon cages are arranged in the suburbs, where it is easy to spot the pigeons taking off in the city, and of course in the afternoon a pigeon flutters its wings and flies far south.

Li Huaiguang's hometown is in Shangdang County, Luzhou, and his position as a feudal town is the envoy of Luze Jiedu, which controls ten prefectures south of Taiyuan, and the ten prefectures are generally wealthy, the land is fertile, and the population is large, and the princes of all walks of life are very jealous.

However, the siege of nearly half a year and the subsequent epidemic left Li Huaiguang's army devastated its vitality, and a large amount of grain and grass materials were hoarded in the epidemic-ravaged city of Hedong and could not be transported.

At this time, there was bad news from Taiyuan Mansion that Guo Song had arrived in Taiyuan Mansion with a large army, and it was likely that he would launch an offensive in the southeast of the river next.

Li Huaiguang and Guo Song have a deep grudge, when he served as the Shuo Fang Jiedu envoy, Guo Song was the Fengzhou Economic Envoy, a battle against Xue Yantuo, Guo Song won a big victory, he finally lost the army, Shuo Fang Jie Du envoy's position has not yet been hot, he was dismissed by the imperial court, and the two have since formed a grudge.

Last year, Guo Song attacked Taiyuan and exterminated the Yuan family, which also shattered Li Huaiguang's dream of unifying Hedong.

But if it was just to destroy the Yuan family, Li Huaiguang would not be annoyed, at most he would take away what he wanted, but Guo Song took advantage of the exhaustion of him and Zhu Jun to launch a war to attack the southeast of Hedong, which really annoyed him, and it was simply despicable and shameless to take advantage of the danger of others.

In the evening of that day, Li Huaiguang received a pigeon letter from Taiyuan and immediately ordered: "Go and invite Mr. Han." ”

Not long after, his confidant Han Yu hurriedly arrived, Han Yu had followed Li Huaiguang for more than ten years and was loyal to Li Huaiguang.

"Lord Wang, what's wrong?"

"Look at this!"

Li Huaiguang handed the pigeon letter to Han Yu, "What I received this afternoon is the information obtained by Jiang Houze, who is a member of the military department. ”

Han Yu read the pigeon letter, the content of the pigeon letter was that the Hexi Army wanted to use Huoyi County as a logistics center for the southern attack, from the geographical point of view, Huoyi County did have this condition, but Han Yu frowned, and asked puzzledly: "Jiang Houze is just a household Cao joined the army, how could he know such confidential information?" Besides, the Hexi Army has not yet sent troops, so it shouldn't be decided so quickly where to be a logistics hub! In case Huoyi County can't be captured, doesn't the Hexi Army want logistics supplies? ”

Li Huaiguang nodded, "The problem is here, we generally use the forefront county under our control as a logistics center, for example, if I want to attack Chang'an, we must use Hedong City as a logistics center, and we will definitely not use Huaxian County as a logistics center, and there is such a long distance in between, all under the control of the enemy army, so it is ridiculous to use Huo County as a logistics center." ”

"What does the prince think Guo Song means?"

Li Huaiguang took a few steps with his hands in his hands, and said coldly: "This is Guo Song using our people to spread false news to me, and let me put heavy troops in Huoyi County, just like Mr. said, with Jiang Houze's identity, how can he know such top-secret information, if I am not mistaken, either Guo Song knows Jiang Houze's identity, or Guo Song said it publicly, the purpose is to mislead our military deployment." ”

Speaking of this, Li Huaiguang sneered and said, "Jiexiu County should be the top priority of our defense!" ”
