The battle of Shuofang, a big stone pressed on the chest of King Richard of Jin, this was the only defeat in his life, and he was completely defeated, and the title of the undefeated god of war in Western Xia was questioned by the country. Although the battle of Rouwolf Mountain was a complete victory, in the domestic view, it was difficult to win without the Iron Harrier. In a word, King Richard of Jin encountered an unprecedented crisis of confidence, and this pressure made him very uncomfortable.

The reason for the overwhelming doubts is that Li Renli, the king of Shu, and Li Renzhong, the king of Pu, fanned the flames everywhere, and the queen Yelu Nanxian added fuel to the fire, coupled with the silence of Emperor Li Qianshun in this matter, which caused the Jin King Li Chago to be questioned like never before.

The battle of Rouwolf Mountain, in fact, Brother Richard was not happy in his heart, because there was no Liu Zhenglong last time, so even if he won, it would be difficult to eliminate the shame of the battle of Shuofang.

Liu Zhenglong led an army of 80,000 to kill the Jingzhai Military Division, and sent troops with such fanfare, obviously did not take the Western Xia cavalry in his eyes, in this case, Brother Richard felt that his opportunity for revenge had come, so he led the team without hesitation.

Brother Richard, the king of Jin, had been in battle for a long time, and he absolutely did not believe that Liu Zhenglong would dare to lead 80,000 infantry to fight against his 100,000 cavalry, and there would definitely be cavalry behind him, so he sent a large number of scouts to reconnoitre.

A thousand scouts were scattered, but in the end they came back less than fifty, which shows how tightly defended the scouts of the Great Song Dynasty, and because of this, the news that the scouts brought the 30,000 sailors of the Great Song Dynasty made the King of Jin Richard firmly believe.

The defense was so tight, almost to the point of being airtight, and when these forty-five scouts returned, they were already scarred, and none of them would have survived if they hadn't been treated in time. This was deliberately released by Yan Shun, the head of the Great Song Dynasty scout, otherwise how could there be fish that slipped through the net, and this was done to confuse Brother Richard, the king of Jin.

Yan Shun and the newly defected grimace Du Xing, the prodigal son Yan Qing are jointly responsible for the scouts, but the focus is different, Du Xing is mainly responsible for the management of scouts in the army, to spy on relevant intelligence, Yan Shun is in charge, Yan Qing is in charge of the navy.

This time, in order to ensure that the action did not go wrong, the Great Song scouts paid a heavy price, almost all of them were dispatched, Yan Qing, who was in charge of the task for the first time, was nervous and full of loopholes, if it wasn't for Yan Shun's bottom line, he would definitely not be able to complete the task this time.

Yan Shun didn't blame Yan Qing for almost messing up the previous task, but he still didn't dare to be careless about the later task, after all, Liang Lie had to make sure that nothing went wrong this time, and once he made a mistake, he would lose the whole game.

Yan Shun said, "General Liang Lie's fleet must be top secret, once something goes wrong, you will not be able to cut off ten heads, I will not say the importance." I'm going to Xingqing Mansion to carry out a mission now, you don't dare to be careless this time, I'll leave all the elites for you, you don't dare to make a mistake. ”

Yan Qingzi has not made any achievements since he defected, and he almost messed up the first time, although he was not punished, but he also knew that there was no next chance, even if Yan Shun didn't say it, this prodigal son didn't dare to make a mistake.

Yan Qing said, "Big brother, don't worry, the Western Xia scouts in front have almost been wiped out, and there won't be many people left, with the cooperation of the local officials and soldiers, this time, I will definitely be foolproof." If anything goes wrong, I'll see you. ”

"Okay, you can prepare it yourself, Lord Liu is optimistic about you, I hope there won't be any mistakes."

If it weren't for the fact that the battle between King Pu and King Shu of Western Xia had reached a fever pitch, Yan Shun would not have been able to go to Xingqing Mansion, he knew that it was not appropriate to leave at this time, so he left most of the elite to Yan Qing, and ordered the garrisons along the way to cooperate.

Now Liu Zhenglong is the defense envoy of the Western Front, as long as it involves the affairs of the Western Front, no matter who the magistrate is, as long as he does not cooperate, he has the right to cut first and then play, and even military generals below the fifth rank and civil officials below the seventh rank, and there is no need to play the imperial court at all. Therefore, when Yan Shun asked the local government to cooperate, the local civil and military officials went all out, and no one wanted to joke about their heads.

Yan Qing is a person with a strong sense of responsibility, the mistake last time made him under great pressure, this time he was particularly careful, before leaving, he summoned all the captains of the seventeen scout teams for a meeting.

Yan Qing said in a heavy tone, "How important is this mission, I won't explain it here, I want to say that this time we will implement a joint sitting system." As long as there is a Western Xia scout who slips through the net, from me to you, all of them will be guillotined. All the families of the scouts are under the control of the official army, and I am not afraid that you will escape, whether you live or die, it is all in your control. This time, as long as you complete the task, all of you will be promoted to three levels, and you will be rewarded with 1,000 yuan for 17 people, and each of the scouts below will be rewarded with 200 yuan. ”

The scouts carried out their mission, in order to ensure that they were caught by the enemy and betrayed the secrets, their families were all under the control of the official army, that is, they sat together, and once they defected, the secrets were leaked, and the whole family was executed. But there has never been a situation where all the scouts were executed directly if the task could not be completed this time, and of course, such a high reward was unprecedented.

The captain of the scout team knows the seriousness of the mission and the consequences of failure, and everyone makes a blood oath to complete the mission to the death, and never allow a single fish to slip through the net.

Yan Qing said, "The first team to the seventh team are responsible for the left bank, the eighth team to the fourteenth team are responsible for the right bank, Li Zhongzhi of the fifteenth team, Fang Qingzi of the sixteenth team, Li Biao of the seventeenth team, the three of you follow me to be responsible for the last line of defense, we are responsible for the defense of the eagle's beak rock, now everyone go to action." Remember, it's better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go. Wrongful killing, not guilty, this officer bears the blame for you. ”

After everyone left, Li Zhongzhi, Fang Qingzi, and Li Biao stayed. These three people know that everyone's fate is on their shoulders, and once there is a fish that slips through the net, the consequences are unimaginable, so the three of them feel pressure.

In order to relieve the pressure on the three of them, Yan Qing said with a smile, "It's not so terrifying, as long as we stick to the Eagle's Beak Rock, even if the Western Xia scouts have wings, they don't want to escape." ”

"My lord, what my subordinates are worried about is that if the Western Xia scouts disguise themselves as merchants, Han Chinese, or even Liao people, what should we do?" Li Biao has been to Eagle's Beak Rock many times, and knows that place well, although on the surface it seems that the post station there is a legitimate merchant doing business, but in fact, it is operated by the Great Song Dynasty scouts, but for many years, who dares to guarantee that this group of people has not been bought by the Tanguts?

Yan Qing thought for a moment and said, "It's just a bird that flies over, and it all twists its neck off for me." No matter who it is, even if it is the old and weak, even if it is a high-ranking official of the Great Song Dynasty, no matter who it is, it is death, and no one is left. Before the battle over there, Eagle's Beak Rock was a dead place, and it was necessary to use blood to ensure that the task was completed, if any of you had a problem, you could apply to stay, if you went, who had a leak, don't blame me Yan Qing for being ruthless. ”

These three people knew that Yan Qing was born in Liangshan and killed people like hemp, and no one was so stupid as to be bored in this situation.

Eagle's Beak Rock, this place is the only way to go from the Great Song Dynasty realm to the Jingzhai Military Division, behind it is the vast desert, until the Jingzhai Military Division there is no trace, of course, you can't ensure that there is no one on the road, but the warship wants to drive through the Eagle's Beak Rock, basically there is no need to hide anything, that is basically already the identity, waiting for the war.

Once the 30,000-strong naval army participates in the battle, then even if the Western Xia finds that there is a 3,000-strong naval warship sailing to the battlefield, they will not pay attention to it, and the changes on the battlefield will follow, and it will have nothing to do with the scouts.

When the 30,000 naval warships sailed over the Eagle's Beak Rock, Pu Xiu, the boss of the Eagle's Beak Rock, thought that this was the end of it, but despite this, he still strictly reviewed the past business trips, and once he found anything suspicious, he directly intercepted and killed them to ensure that the information was not leaked.

During this time, Pu Xiu was under a lot of pressure, and he knew that the Western Xia sent out scouts before and after, but less than fifty of them returned from the Eagle's Beak Rock, and these scouts all returned with injuries, some of them passed from the official road of the Eagle's Beak Rock, and some passed from the surrounding paths. If you want to intercept and kill these scouts, it is easy to do it, but I don't know why Shangfeng ordered them to be released.

It is very rare to intercept and kill Western Xia scouts on such a large scale, which shows how important this battle is. But is this kind of intelligence war over, is there any fish that have slipped through the net, whether Western Xia will send people over, or whether there are scouts lurking in the Great Song Dynasty and not returning, this is all where Pu Xiu should consider.

Nanuwa is a Persian girl who has been with Puxiu for five years, and although she has not given birth to a boy and a girl, the two have an excellent relationship. This enthusiastic woman from the Western Regions can be said to have a good relationship with the merchants who come and go, and she also has a set of business methods, and she has accumulated a lot of wealth for Pu Xiu in the past five years.

On this day, Zhou Peixi, a Han businessman, came to visit Nanuwa with gold, silver and jewelry, and the conditions were very simple, that is, he would clear the customs the day after tomorrow, hoping to be accommodating.

A month ago, I had received the above secret letter that no one would be allowed to clear the customs, although there were still some merchants who spent money to clear the customs, they were all merchants who had been doing business here for many years, as well as those Western Xia scouts who were deliberately let go, and now suddenly someone wanted to clear the customs, which made Nanuwa a little nervous, she was afraid that there would be a little accident, so she didn't dare to agree to the other party easily.

After Zhou Peixi presented the gift list, he said cautiously, "We are transporting a batch of goods to Yinzhou this time, but some of the goods are going to Ningcheng, so we passed through the eagle's beak rock, and we hope to be accommodating." ”

Normal trade is still difficult to prohibit, and if all were banned, this place would have been wiped out by the Western Xia scouts a long time ago. However, they are all businessmen who have been in business for many years, and it is difficult to clear customs with unfamiliar faces. This week, Peixi has been back and forth seven or eight times, and each time he will give gifts to Nanua.

This time is different, the main reason is that it is time-sensitive, it has only been ten days since the warship of 30,000 people sailed, and now suddenly there are merchants who want to pass the customs. This had to make Nanuwa cautious. This is the only official road, of course, you can still pass through the bypass from the trail and walk more than 200 miles. It's just that there are killers in ambush on those roads now, except for those who were ordered by their superiors to let them go, all the Western Xia scouts who took the trail have been wiped out.

Among the forty-five scouts who went back to report to Brother Richard, thirty did not leave the territory of Western Xia at all, and found warships in the territory of Western Xia, and thirteen of the other fifteen were mixed up with heavy money to clear the customs, and the other two were excellent in kung fu and fled back after bloody battles.

"How many of you have cleared customs, how much is the value of the goods you bring, and have you paid the taxes?" Nanuwa was still relieved in the face of money, for this woman, since the warship has passed, then there is no need to be suspicious, as long as it is not a Western Xia scout, it can be released.

"Nine people have cleared customs, worth 30,000 yuan, and the taxes have been paid."

"There's no contraband."

"Absolutely not."

Nanuwa thought for a moment and then said, "The night after tomorrow, the third watch will be cleared, and if you find contraband, you will be directly confiscated and sent to prison." ”

Zhou Peixi thanked him for his gratitude before leaving.

After hearing Zhou Peixi's report, Yan Qing said, "Li Zhongzhi, your play is good, do you think there is a problem in this?" ”

Li Zhongzhi pondered for a moment and said, "Shangfeng has ordered that no customs clearance will be allowed in the near future, but the warship has already sailed through the Eagle's Beak Rock, and in this case, it is normal to be allowed to pass occasionally." Besides, Nanuwa is just a woman, and it is normal to be greedy for money, so I don't think there is a problem. ”

"Is there no problem?" Yan Qing's face became gloomy, and after crushing the teacup with his hand, he said coldly, "There is no problem with this behavior, but there is a problem with this woman, and there is a problem with the ability to clear the customs on the third watch, which means that Pu Xiu is concealed, otherwise it can be cleared during the day." Pu Xiu is just an innkeeper on the surface, not a group practice at the Eagle Beak Rock Pass at all, you, a businessman, are not looking for a group practice Ying Ziqiong, but looking for the innkeeper's wife, or the innkeeper's concubine, where did she get the strength to switch in the middle of the night. Is there a problem with management, or what, do you really think there is no problem, don't forget that in ten days, General Liang Lie's warship will pass through here, these days the brothers of the other groups are busy killing the Western Xia scouts and eliminating all unstable factors, you actually told me that there is no problem, if the Western Xia scouts use this method to clear the customs, the news is transmitted, how many heads do you have enough to cut off? ”

Li Zhongzhi fell to his knees with weak legs.

Yan Qing continued, "I'll go and meet for a while, Ying Ziqiong, the training envoy of the Eagle Beak Rock Regiment, Li Biao, you will meet with Pu Xiu, Li Zhongzhi, you will be responsible for solving the problem of Nanuwa, Fang Qingzi, you take the scout to secretly check the situation here, and if you find suspicious characters, don't startle the snake, and leave it to me to deal with." In a word, it is better to have a river of blood in the eagle's beak than to let one go. Li Zhongzhi, if you can't do it to the beauty, you can apply to change tasks with Li Biao. ”

"I'm going to kill that."

"No, it's not that you want to kill her, it's for you to figure out if there's something wrong with this woman. If he killed Nanuwa without evidence, then Pu Xiu couldn't stay if there was a problem, and Ying Ziqiong would also be a snake. Our mission is to make sure that not a single Western Xia scout slips away, not to look into the problems here. ”

Yan Qing waved his hand and motioned for everyone to go down, he wanted to be quiet alone.

Ying Ziqiong has made a lot of wealth over the years, if it weren't for the thighs of the Cao family, he wouldn't have been able to mix this position, of course, a lot of the wealth in this is with Pu Xiu, but despite this, this big man is still very satisfied.

These days of retreat, there is a lot less oil and water, Ying Ziqiong has nothing to do, drinking all day, today Nanuwa asked to see, he was very surprised, he has long coveted this beauty in the Western Regions, people are an iceberg, they don't give themselves face at all, how can they ask to see today?

Anyway, it must be a good thing to have a beautiful woman to meet, Ying Ziqiong believed that this beauty from the Western Regions had a request for herself, and immediately began to think about how to eat this piece of meat sent to her mouth. Not only did he have to eat it, but he couldn't let Pu Xiu know, which made him use his brain.

Ying Ziqiong still met Nanuwa very happily, and when he saw this beautiful woman from the Western Regions coming, the eyes of this pervert were about to fall.

Seeing Ying Ziqiong's gaze staring at her flat and fatless lower abdomen, Nanuwa's big watery eyes like dark blue gems showed a fascinated look, and a faint smile appeared on her pretty face, and she said with a smile, "What are you staring at the slave family?" ”

"No, I didn't see anything." Ying Ziqiong swallowed his saliva, and this guy said embarrassedly, "It's so late, I don't know why you came to see this official." ”

"Can't you come to see adults if you're fine?"

"Of course you can, the official is worried that there is no one to accompany the wine, since the beauty is here, how about we get drunk?" Ying Ziqiong is testing the other party, if this Nanuwa has no opinion on a drunk Fang Xiu, it means that she has a play tonight, there is no need to worry, if she says it directly, it means that she doesn't want to commit to herself.

"The little girl is not strong enough to drink, and if she drinks, it is difficult for the adults to enjoy themselves, but the little woman is willing to dance for the adults, and I don't know if the adults are satisfied."

"Dance, dance!" Ying Ziqiong is like seeing if the hot body will be enthusiastic when dancing, he believes that as long as Nanuwa is willing to dance for himself, then he will eat her tonight.

"There's no problem with the little girl dancing, but there is something to ask for, and I don't know if the adults can agree." Nanuwa gently moved the lotus step and said with a smile after coming to Ying Ziqiong: "I have a relative who wants to transport a batch of goods, and I don't know how much tax I need to pay if I am released on the third watch of the night after tomorrow. ”

If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, you really have to ask for yourself, what kind of relative, this relative of this beautiful woman from the Western Regions is from the Eagle Beak Rock, and no one has offered bribes.

Money, Ying Ziqiong has already made enough, but the beauties of the Western Regions have not tasted it yet. At this time, for this guy, the attraction of beautiful women far exceeds money.

"No amount of taxes, Shangfeng said, I won't let you go recently, it's rare that Pu Xiu hasn't told you?" Ying Ziqiong's face was serious, but the evil gaze began to stare at the snow-white slender, and his saliva was about to flow down.
