What Yan Qilou didn't know was that when they inquired about the Jing'an army camp post, after the post saw these inquirers go away, one of them immediately returned to the camp and came to one of the small tents, there were guards guarding outside the door, and the big camp post stepped forward to explain the intention, and was immediately led into the tent by the guards.

"My lord, today is the third time that someone has asked me about the whereabouts of my department! This was the post of the cavalry battalion, and he himself came to report to the lords. The guard went in and told a young man in the tent who was taking notes.

The young man raised his head, revealing a fair face, and two slender eyebrows arched slightly.

"Oh, someone came to inquire again? It's so much fun! The young man looked at the camp post that had come in, "You speak slowly." ”

"No." The large camp came forward and bowed, and began to tell what had just happened.

The young man listened quietly, and then carefully asked about the appearance and identity of the person who asked, the accent, the direction of coming and going, and even the way he dressed and walked. If there is an experienced catcher here, he must be very surprised by this young man's sophistication. Many details that go unnoticed often reveal more valuable information.

After the camp post had finished answering and said goodbye, the young man pondered for a long time, and a voice remembered at the door of the tent, "My lord, there is something strange about this matter. ”

"What do you think?"

"Today, there are many people from several guards in our battalion who come to investigate, although they are all people from other departments, but my subordinates always feel a little strange." The person who spoke was even younger, and the mustache on his lips was only a faint layer.

"What a clever plan the general had before leaving! If it weren't for the general's reminder, we would still be kept in the dark and it would be difficult to start, and now that the enemy's trace has appeared, it will be up to us later. ”

"Exactly, please give the order!"

"Feng Rong, you and I are like brothers, a few days ago you dressed up in disguise and helped General Wu rescue Zhu Delu very beautifully, General Fei praised you, as long as our brothers work together, we will definitely be able to do something great for the general in the future!"

It was Ming Shijie who spoke, and now he has been appointed by Yu Zhilong as the 100 households of the Intelligence Department of the Jing'an Army, responsible for investigating internal and external enemies and deliberately secretly sabotaging and rebels. Guo Fengrong was appointed as the deputy Baihu of the Intelligence Department, and there are only a few subordinates under the two.

The Intelligence Department is an organization established by Yu Zhilong, and the selection of personnel is completely in charge of Ming Shijie and Guo Fengrong, because the responsibilities of the Intelligence Department are extremely special, and Yu Zhilong first requires that the personnel be expensive and not expensive. At present, it is the most important task to reconnoiter the meticulous work of the Yuan army inside and outside the Jing'an army and those who defect to the enemy, and if possible, send people to Yidu to find out the news, and it is best to be able to lurk for a long time.

Since the Shuntian army entered Linqu County, Yu Zhilong didn't believe that Yidu City had not infiltrated spies here, and even arranged some hidden piles to win over some generals. He and Zhao Shi led the main force of the Jing'an Army to the south, if there was a careful attack by the Yuan Army at this time, the consequences would be unpredictable!

If it is not good for him to go south, and Linqu's nest is taken advantage of by the Yuan army, it will be a big joke!

Yu Zhilong because of this worry, he set up a special intelligence department, he carefully considered the existing subordinates, and found that Ming Shijie and Guo Fengrong are the most suitable, although these two people are still young, and even Guo Fengrong is a year younger than himself, but both of them are brave and resourceful people, if they hone it, they may be able to take on big things. There was no other suitable person available at the moment, and although the two of them had taken refuge in themselves halfway, their loyalty seemed to be good now, and it was a good time to put them to the test.

"Is everyone being followed?" Ming Shijie asked.

"Lord Duzun's words, I believe that it will pay off in a few hours."

"Don't miss a trace, if you startle the snake, you will miss the plan of General Fei!"

"Don't worry, my lord, this tracking is our ability to catch the fast officials, and the general has also taught a lot of methods, and the ones we have selected are all good at this, and they will not delay the general's major affairs!"

General Fei's plan was to arrange for a few people who Yu Zhilong specially told Ji Xiancheng before leaving, and even Xie Lin didn't know about these contents.

In the evening, there was finally news to return to Yanqi Tower.

Pan Gui reported: The first part of the Jing'an Army and all the cavalry teams have not returned since noon the day before yesterday, and in particular, a group of men and horses under the command of Captain Gao Shang has not found any traces. When the people and horses returned to the camp, some people found that the car was empty.

Strangely, Yu Shichang and Liu Zhengfeng's cavalry of the Chinese army also lost a trace.

In the past, this person was either by Liu Zhengfeng's side, or outside the city to supervise and train the soldiers, and rarely went out of the camp to have fun and spend the night. He and Yu Zhilong have long been competing for superiority, and all the generals know about this, but now even Yu Shichang is nowhere to be found, which is quite strange.

Yanqilou saw that there was no result everywhere, and was wondering whether to ask Liu Qi to inquire about Liu Zhengfeng on the side, and suddenly Liu Qi's henchman Liu Sheng was ordered to come and inquire about Yidu Road's recent moves? Yan Qilou summoned him into the inner room, and after careful questioning, he learned that Liu Qi didn't know anything, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart: What a straw bag! More and more contempt for him. However, his face was still full of spring breeze, and Naodao had not yet received further orders, so he asked General Liu to calm down.

After Yan Qilou finished speaking, he asked casually: "In the past two days, I suddenly found that Yu Zhilong's infantry had lost a trace, did General Liu hear what Liu Zhengfeng's orders were?" ”

"I haven't heard of it, everything is normal inside and outside the city, and the thief Liu just strictly ordered all departments to hurry up the drills and rectify the city defense."

"I have a plan, please General Liu may wish to have a banquet tomorrow for the generals of all departments, just say that things have been hard recently, and I am willing to drink and talk with the generals. If all the generals are there, it is naturally the best, if Yu Zhilong and Yu Shichang fail to come forward, please ask General Liu to inquire about the side during the banquet. It is estimated that even if other generals don't know, that guy will know! ”

"This matter is very easy, the villain will go back and tell my general."

"Then bother, remember, don't alarm Liu Thief!"

After sending Liu Sheng away, Yan Qilou thought about it again and again, and decided to order a henchman to go out of the camp overnight, pretending to be a scout to report to Yidu, and inform Yidu to be vigilant and take precautions.

At this time, in the palace of King Yinu in Yidu City, Mainu and Gu Kai, Zhuo Sicheng, and also discussed the matter of going south.

also lost last time, and bought a slave to complain a little, but after all, he was his old subordinate, and he was only asked to temporarily go to work and reflect at home, and he was fined for several months. Now the Yidu army will go south again and recruit him back.

"Lord Wang, now that the men and horses of the state capitals have basically arrived, although there are not many cavalry troops this time, the soldiers of each department are still strong, and the support of the rebel army of the Meng and Tian families has also arrived at the camp outside the city. The food and grass needed for the army has also been requisitioned and distributed to the ministries. As long as there is accurate information in the interior, the army will be able to go south again," Zhuo Sicheng said.

"Tang Wuwei can finish resting this time?" Mai Nu asked. Tang Wuwei's performance last time was degradable or commendable, and the commander made Li Zhenxiong hold his breath, he must find face in the Shuntian thief, although the cavalry has lost more than half of it, and its strength has been greatly reduced, but compared to the Shuntian thief, there is still the strength to fight.

"Back to the prince, Tang Wuwei has finished resting, although the loss of strength is very large, but his subordinates have personally visited his department to observe, the soldiers' fighting spirit is still full, most of the injured soldiers have also returned from injury, and Commander Li has also repeatedly sworn to his subordinates not to hold this hatred and swear not to be a man! In the opinion of the following officials, Tang Wuwei should be able to fight. ”

"That's great!" Mai Nu is still relatively relieved about the combat power of these colored people.

"Lord Wang, this time, the East and West Dao Propaganda Division also transferred five hundred cavalry troops from Dizhou, which happened to be temporarily transferred to Tang Wuwei to supplement its combat strength. Yesterday evening, he was stationed in the camp outside the city. He also interjected from his seat.

"Well, it's always good to have more cavalry." Buying slaves is noncommittal.

"The prince can relax, this time there is an internal response, all the news of the thief army can be known, and the intelligence department has made arrangements, striving to capture the thief head first, and dispatch the enemy in chaos, so that the result can be twice the result with half the effort." Gu Kai sat on the right hand side of the hall and comforted the slave.

"Please rest assured, the last time was a certain carelessness, this time our army is strong and strong, and there are chess pieces that Lord Gu has already arranged as an internal response, and this time the end of the south will definitely wipe it all out to avenge the shame of the past!" The seat also came out first, knelt in front of the slave and said loudly.

also defeated last time, lost face in front of the slave, and couldn't wait to find a hole to get into, but fortunately, the slave was very fond of him and punished him slightly. As for the letter to the Privy Council of Dadu, it was a light statement about the battlefield and the result, only saying that it was useless to kill the enemy in battle, and his own troops were more damaged, and the thieves could not hold out on to the city, so they were helpless for a while, and they would fight again after Yidu reorganized the army.

With this letter of explanation, although the Privy Council knew about the fiasco, it was not easy to attack, but it was only a reply to King Lingyi's hard work, and then regrouped. However, after the defeat, it was difficult to convince the public if it was not punished, and after the Privy Council consulted Emperor Yuan, it finally ordered to recover the hundred acres of fertile land given by Emperor Yiwang, and first fined him for half a year and ten rods.

Tang Wuwei commanded Li Zhenxiong to be fined for one year, and the rest were not asked.

was also blamed first, and brought King Yi, she was uneasy in her heart, and she was so protective of it by buying slaves, and she was moved, she just wanted to turn around and get back face for herself and King Yi.

came back and thought about it behind closed doors, and first recalled the gains and losses many times, in addition to Yidu despised Liu Thief up and down, Tang Wuwei did not use it intensively, and the formation of a fist was also an important reason. As a result, either the two flanks did not achieve a decisive advantage, or they were beaten to the ground and fled, and finally the Jing'an army counterattacked from the rear, thus shaking the Yuan army's large array.

In fact, in terms of overall combat strength, the Yuan army is stronger than the Shuntian army, and as long as the Yuan army is properly dispatched, the chances of victory are still very great.

Afterwards, when I think about the battle situation of that day, I always sigh.

Fortunately, Gu Kai has a lot of vision, and according to the information from the investigation, he set up a plan to secretly send people to mix in with the chaotic people of the ant thieves several times, and now there is finally a result.

Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
