The general letter eagle is not like the fierce son directly on the shoulders of people, the training of the letter eagle is more professional, all of them have to use the eagle tower, this is also to protect the eagle from accidental injury, there is only one eagle tower in Chang'an, located in the Xingqing Palace, the reason why the eagle tower is located in the Xingqing Palace, is because Zhu Zhu has been living in the Xingqing Palace before.

Moreover, after the eagle slave gets the eagle letter, it will be handed over to the messenger and sent to the West Inner Garden on horseback from the city wall, which is also very convenient.

Song Tian knew the chief manager of Xingqing Palace, and he only spent five hundred taels of silver to install two of his subordinates in the Eagle Tower, replacing the original Eagle Slave, so that the information from all over the country fell into Song Tian's hands as soon as possible.

In fact, the general manager of Xingqing Palace can also guess one or two, but who doesn't want the silver in vain, seeing that Zhu Zhu's power can no longer hold Guanzhong, and he is unwilling to leave Chang'an, at this time he also has to think about his future, so he turned a blind eye and used his power to replace the eagle slave on the Eagle Tower.

There are three official roads to the east of Chang'an, one goes to Fengxian County in the northwest direction, leading to Jingzhou and Tongzhou, the second is to Lantian County in the southeast direction, and the third is the main road, a straight official road, which leads directly to Tongguan and Pujin Pass.

Zhang Yun deployed on the three official roads, he sent a hundred elite scouts, set up twenty points on the three official roads, and ambushed the messengers who came to Chang'an to deliver the letter.

Zhang Yun himself did not go, and there was not much time left for him, so he began to gather his subordinates and actively prepare for the war.

Bashang, this is the fork of the official road in the east and the official road in the northeast, and it is also a relatively lively market town, where people come and go during the day, and most people will buy some food here.

In the evening of the next day, two horses galloped from a distance, and at once two soldiers were not professional messengers, but professional messengers, who would hold rattles in their hands and wrap them in yellow satin on their backs, which could be seen and heard from a distance.

The two soldiers were full of anxiety, dusty, and could see that they were hungry and thirsty, and when they saw that there was still a small food stall on the side of the road, the two turned over and dismounted, and stepped forward and said: "I want four cakes, two bowls of soup, it doesn't matter whether it is hot or cold, we have urgent matters." ”

The stall owner, a man in his forties, smiled and brought them two bowls of soup and four pieces of bread.

"The soup is still warm, but the cake is already cold, so let's make do with it!"

The two took the bread and the soup, and began to eat and drink.

"The two of you are going to Beijing to deliver the letter!" The stall owner asked with a smile on his face.

"How do you know?" One soldier asked vaguely.

Another soldier hurriedly stabbed him, and the soldier suddenly lost his words and stopped speaking.

The stall owner smiled and didn't ask any more.

"How much?" The two asked after eating the soup cake.

"That's a total of ten dollars."

The two soldiers jumped up suddenly, "It costs ten yuan to eat two pieces of bread, are you robbing money?" ”

The stall owner suddenly showed his fierce face and said viciously: "It's originally this price, you want to eat the overlord meal, don't give money?" ”

He turned around and shouted, "Two bastards don't pay for dinner!" ”

Seven or eight big men immediately came out of the darkness, and the two soldiers suddenly felt bad, and were just about to turn over and get on their horses, but they were hugged by seven or eight people and pushed to the ground.

One soldier was so anxious that he shouted: "We have an urgent military situation, you must not mess around!" ”

Everyone was overjoyed, they kept watch for two days, and finally waited, and the stall owner waved his hand and said, "Take them down and separate them for strict trial!" ”

These big men were naturally Zhang Yun's subordinates deployed on the official road, and just now, they had already received a report from the brothers in front of them who had rushed to report that they had found two soldiers who seemed to be delivering letters.

The scouts were very thoughtful, they were afraid that they were spreading the message, so they had to be caught alive, so Shao Jianzhi, the judge of the scout battalion, immediately set up a small food stall to use as bait, of course, if the two soldiers still did not stay, they would have to be caught in front.

After a while, the interrogation came out, and a scout said: "Judge Qiqi Shao, they are indeed the sergeants who came to deliver the letter, and they were sent by Sun Li, the lord of Pujin Pass, the Jin army has captured Pujin Pass and is about to attack Chang'an." ”

Shao Jianzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and after catching these two people, their plan was mostly successful.

...........

At the fifth watch, Guo Song's army had arrived near Lishan in the southeast of Chang'an, which belonged to Xinfeng County, sixty miles away from Chang'an City, and there were just a large number of forests, and the 50,000 troops rested and stopped on the grass in the forest.

Guo Song sent someone to get in touch with Zhang Yun in the city.

As the day began to dawn, the nearby villagers went into the forest to cut wood, but they were stopped by the soldiers who were guarding and were not allowed to enter the forest.

The old man is a nearby village official, and Guo Song needs to ask him something.

Xiangzheng was brought to Guo Song, he saw Guo Song clearly, he was immediately startled, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Xiaomin knocks to see His Royal Highness the King of Jin!" ”

"You know me?"

"The villain's son once served in the army in Fengzhou, and the villain went to Fengzhou to see him, and originally wanted to settle in Fengzhou, but his wife was not in good health and couldn't stand the cold of Fengzhou winter, so he came back."

"I see."

Guo Song Xiangxiang sat down on the big stone on the side and asked with concern, "How is your son doing in Fengzhou now?" ”

Xiang Zheng respectfully said: "Your Royal Highness, my son has now been promoted to captain, currently in the west of the city, the year before the marriage of a wife, is the military dependents of the soldiers on the right side of Longyou, and in Yongfeng County divided a house, last year the daughter-in-law gave birth to a grandson, there are three acres of land and two cows in Fengzhou, I also went to Fengzhou this spring to help them farm. ”

"Then will my husband still go next spring?" Guo Song asked with a smile again.

"No, they're too old to run, so they hire someone to farm by themselves!"

Guo Song smiled, then turned the topic to business, he said slowly: "I invited my husband over, in fact, I want to ask about something, don't bother!" ”

"Don't bother! Don't bother! His Highness asked. ”

Guo Song asked: "Has the government recently proposed to raise taxes or migrate to Luoyang?" ”

Xiangzheng thought for a while and said: "There is no tax increase, but the price of many things has indeed been a bit expensive in recent months, as for migration, I have been mentioning this matter, last year I went door-to-door to count, and it made a lot of noise, and then there was no movement, but recently I began to talk about this matter, and said that there are houses in Luoyang, and people can come back after moving over, anyway, it makes people panic." ”

Guo Song nodded and asked, "Other than that, what else is abnormal?" ”

"Also, I heard that the county order abandons the official and does not do it."

"Xinfeng County Order?"

"Exactly!"

Guo Song pondered for a moment and asked, "What is the specific reason?" ”

"This is not clear, it has not been rumored yet, it was yesterday!"

Guo Song put aside this matter for the time being, and asked with a smile: "How was the harvest in Guanzhong in the past two years?" ”

"In recent years, the overall is not bad, you also know, there are many canals in Guanzhong, strong disaster resistance, as long as it is not a locust plague, the general drought, flood production is not large, floods are rare in a hundred years, mainly drought, the former young drought, wheat production reduced by one percent, in fact, the most afraid is the military disaster, after speaking, the township is worried to look at the black pressure of the army behind."

Guo Song smiled slightly: "We will try our best to avoid military disasters and will not hurt the innocent!" ”

"That's it! Is that! ”

Guo Song immediately rewarded Xiangzheng with ten taels of silver and asked the soldiers to send him out.

In the afternoon, the scouts sent by Guo Song returned to the army's lodging, and the scouts knelt down on one knee and saluted, and then presented Zhang Yun's letter to Guo Song.

In the letter, Zhang Yun described his plan in detail, and finally proposed that he would start his action at the third watch, and if he succeeded, he would light a fire at Chunmingmen, hoping that he would send 10,000 troops into the city to assist in the defense.

Zhang Yun's method is good, capturing the Xuanwu and imprisoning the enemy army in the West Inner Garden, this plan requires that the time must be coordinated seamlessly, and a slow beat in time will lead to a failure.

Guo Song immediately called Yao Jin and handed him Zhang Yun's letter, "Look at Zhang Yun's plan." ”

Yao Jin read the letter and said in a deep voice: "There is a problem here, if Zhu Jinqing knows that we are coming, will his army stay in the West Inner Garden honestly?" ”

Guo Song smiled slightly: "The problem is here, but it seems that Zhang Yun has solved this hidden danger, otherwise Zhu Jinqing would have known that we were coming, and Zhang Yun would not mention this plan again, General Yao, you are responsible for going to Chunmingmen to pick him up." ”

Yao Jin hurriedly bowed down and said, "Obey the order!" ”

At this time, Guo Song's eyes turned to Chang'an City in the distance, tonight will be a big battle, Guo Song immediately ordered: "Everyone have a good rest, set off at two o'clock in the evening!" ”
