Chapter 842: A Thousand Miles of Tracking (Part II)
As soon as the day dawned, a letter eagle took off and flew to Huaizhou, it takes about a day from Chang'an to Huaizhou, but the eagle tower is in Hanoi County, and then from Hanoi County to the Wen County interception station more than 100 miles away, and it will take one night at the earliest, that is, the Wen County interception station will not receive its own order until tomorrow morning.
Guo Song was worried, would it be too late.......
Neiwei set up seven interception points on the Yellow River and the Wei River, of which there are two on the Wei River and five on the Yellow River, among the five interception points on the Yellow River, Hukou is one, Yanhe Estuary and Yulin in the north have one each, and then there are two along Huaizhou, one in Heqing County and one in Wen County.
It's just that the internal guard is still a step late, and when the interception point is deployed in Hukou, the ships have already passed, but the two interception points in Huaizhou have caught up, and before the ships arrived, the interception teams of Heqing County and Wen County have already been in place.
Heqing County is located in the westernmost part of Huaizhou, close to the Yellow River, here is just located in the place where the Yellow River gradually widens from the narrow channel, there are not many dark eddies on the river surface, it is relatively stable, and then go east for dozens of miles, the water flow slows down, and the dark whirlpools appear, at that time, can only walk slowly along the bank.
In the morning, two cargo ships came from the west, one after the other, and the military advisor Luo Sinan stood at the bow of the boat, squinting at the Yellow River in the distance.
Behind him, Zhang Qian, the commander of the warriors, asked worriedly, "Military Division, will there be an interception by the Jin army ahead?" ”
Luo Sinan sneered and said, "How could they not intercept such an important thing when it was stolen?" If I'm not mistaken, they've done a lot of deployments, it's just that they're a step late, and we don't feel it. ”
"That's ....... ahead"
"There must be interception points ahead, one in Heqing County, one in Wen County, and Zhu Zhu will also intercept in Mengjin."
Zhang Qian was taken aback, "Will Zhu Jun know?" ”
Luo Sinan said lightly: "Zhu Tao knows everything, do you think Zhu Tao will not know?" ”
"So what are we going to do?"
Luo Sinan looked at the looming mist on the river, and said slowly: "Actually, Heqing County is easy to do, let's go along the south bank, the south bank is a mountain beam, there will be no interception, so we avoid the inspection and interception on the north bank, as for Wen County, we can only gamble and see luck." ”
Zhang Qian was really worried, he felt that Luo Junshi was not too sure.
.........
The interception point in Heqing County really did not work, more than a dozen sentry boats intercepted on the river, although they strictly checked every passing boat, but the other party was walking along the south bank, the distance was too far, and there was fog on the river, the Jin army sentry boat could not see, and was silently sailed by two ships.
As night fell, ten sentinel boats on the Wenxian River were intercepting every passing cargo ship or passenger ship, and the soldiers boarded the ships to strictly inspect and let them go only if they were sure that they were correct.
At this time, a large cargo ship came from the west, without hanging lanterns, only a faint outline, which immediately attracted the attention of the sentinel ship, and a sentinel ship went up to meet it, and stood at the bow of the head of the brigade and shouted: "Stop the ship immediately and accept inspection!" ”
Unexpectedly, the big ship did not stop at all, and rushed over, knocking the sentinel boat over with a bang, and several soldiers fell into the water.
Another sentinel immediately sounded the alarm, "Dang! While! While! ”
The cargo ship was speeding frantically to the east, and nine sentinel ships were in hot pursuit, gradually surrounding it, and a dozen soldiers climbed up, and several samurai rushed out and fought fiercely with the soldiers who climbed aboard.
But there were more and more soldiers in support, and the three samurai couldn't resist and were killed one after another, and several boatmen also knelt down and begged for mercy, "They forced us, put the knife on our neck, we can't help it!" ”
The first lieutenant asked, "What is in the ship?" ”
"It's like.... It seems to be twenty large wooden boxes. ”
The lieutenant was overjoyed, opened the cargo hold and went down to check, and sure enough, he saw countless large wooden boxes, the size of which was exactly the same as the size provided on it.
At this time, a soldier jumped down with a torch, and the lieutenant was shocked, "Are you crazy?" Hurry up and get up, there's no fire here! ”
The soldier was so frightened that he hurriedly climbed up, and one of the soldiers handed over a lantern, which was okay, and the lieutenant could read the words on the wooden box through the lantern, 'Iron Fire Thunder [Waste] No. 120." ’
That's it, from one hundred and twenty to one hundred and thirty-nine.
The lieutenant was overjoyed and immediately ordered: "We have caught it, escort the ship back!" ”
The soldiers cheered, and nine sentinel ships escorted the large ship back to the dock.
The patrol interception was immediately removed, and at this time, a thousand-stone cargo ship did not use lanterns, and sailed silently through the outer water of the Wenxian wharf, heading east.
The big ship docked, and Zhonglang, who got the news, drove Sun Qin to the dock, only to see the soldiers carrying heavy wooden boxes ashore, and the wooden boxes all had words written in ink and pen, Iron Fire and Thunder [waste], from No. 120 to No. 139.
Sun Qin was overjoyed and ordered: "Transporting the iron fire and thunder back to Hanoi County, and send a letter to Chang'an early tomorrow morning!" ”
"These iron fire thunders are not right!"
A woman's voice suddenly came from a distance, and the soldiers were startled, and hurriedly lined up to intercept them, "Who is it, you are not allowed to approach!" ”
The two women on horseback who rushed over were Ying Caihe and his apprentice Jingyue who came from the mouth of the pot.
Ying Caihe saw the ship on the dock and immediately realized that something was wrong, the other party should be a thousand-stone cargo ship, how could it become a five-hundred-stone cargo ship, there was something wrong with it.
"General, pry the box open immediately!"
Sun Qin stepped forward, looked at Ying Caihe, and said angrily: "Who are you, why did you order me?" ”
If it was normal, Sun Qin would have scolded the crazy woman and the stupid woman, but this woman actually knew about the iron fire and thunder just now, and he didn't dare to make too many mistakes.
Ying Caihe took out the Jin King Gold Medal, put it in front of his eyes and said, "Open your eyes a little wider and see what this is?" ”
There are four words on the gold medal, 'If you see the king of Jin', Sun Qin was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and saluted, "I don't know if I am humble, please forgive the girl!" ”
Ying Caihe performed very well in Jiangnan and won high praise from Han Yun, so he won the gold medal rewarded by Guo Song.
She put away the gold medal and said: "I am the Jin Wei Mansion worship, I am ordered by the King of Jin to track down this batch of iron fire mines, the other party should be a thousand stone cargo ships, this batch of iron fire mines is afraid of fraud, hurry up and pry open the wooden box." ”
Sun Qin also became nervous, and immediately ordered: "Pry open the wooden box!" ”
The soldier quickly pried open the lid with an iron crowbar, and one soldier shouted: "General, there is a big stone inside!" ”
"General, I'm also a big rock here."
Sun Qin's face turned white, and he shouted loudly: "Pry it all open!"
It's the same with all the prying, all of them are big stones, Sun Qin suddenly thought of something, and immediately ordered: "Re-block the water surface!" ”
The soldiers rushed towards the sentinel boat, Ying Caihe shook his head, it was too late, it must have passed just now.
She immediately said to Jingyue, "Let's go!" ”
The two whipped their horses and galloped eastward, and Sun Qin shouted, "Where is the girl?" ”
Ying Caihe's response came from afar: "Go to Hebei to intercept!" ”
........
As soon as the morning dawned, the eagle letter that Huaizhou failed to intercept was sent to Chang'an.
Chang'an soon received news from Huaizhou, and Wang Yue was so depressed that he had to ask Guo Song for guilt.
In the official room, Guo Song sighed, this result was in his expectation, and it was also what he was most worried about, the other party was not a group of reckless men, but a military advisor Luo Sinan directly commanded on the ship, and the golden cicada got rid of the interception with one move.
However, the eagle letter said that the person holding her gold medal appeared on the scene, it should be Ying Caihe, and she had gone to Hebei to intercept her, which made Guo Song still have the last ray of hope.
Guo Song paced back and forth, he pondered for a long time and asked, "You guys cracked Tian Yue's intelligence point before?" ”
"Exactly, they are a porcelain shop in Dongshi, which is actually an intelligence point set up by Tian Yue in Chang'an, specializing in collecting business intelligence in Chang'an, and it is suspected that they still have intelligence points, which are being investigated."
Guo Song immediately decided: "You leak the news of Iron Fire Thunder to them, and let them send a letter to Tian Yue immediately." ”
Wang Yue was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly persuaded: "Although Tian Yue will definitely intercept it, if the two families reach a compromise and half of the family, wouldn't it be more harmful?" ”
Guo Song sneered, "If you know how to be humble, there will be no such thing as two peaches killing three soldiers, don't worry!" Either one family will be alone, or both will lose, whether it succeeds or not, Tian Yue and Li Wujun will completely turn their faces for this matter. ”
"When Your Highness says lose-lose, do you mean that we still have hope?"
Wang Yue didn't know that the King of Jin also sent Ying Caihe, and he didn't even know that there was a person named Ying Caihe, he also saw the person holding the gold medal of the King of Jin appearing at the dock of Wenxian County on the eagle letter, and he realized that the King of Jin had also arranged strange soldiers, which made him also have a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Guo Song said lightly: "The so-called muddy water is good to fish, let's muddy the water first, and the opportunity will appear." ”
"I understand, go and inform the shopkeeper of the porcelain shop now!"
