Chapter 619 Detailed Information
Two days later, more detailed information was sent to Wan Yanliang.
The information obtained in a hurry shows that Yang Congyi is not a soldier, he has been an official in Lin'an before, and he is the chief envoy of the Hui Yi Department, responsible for overseas trade, and the army he led is not a regular army of the forbidden army, but an escort team to protect the overseas Hui Yi fleet, because of the perennial travel on the sea, all of them are proficient in water, and they seem to have the ability to turn over the river and the sea, no matter how small the ships, they can be manipulated by them in their hands, perhaps because they often encounter robbers at sea, their water warfare ability is very outstanding, The actual combat experience is very rich, and it is even more powerful than the regular water army.
The information handed over to Wan Yanliang by his subordinates has concluded that Yang Congyi is not a god of war, not even a soldier, he just has a guard team that is proficient in water nature and water warfare, and the number is only 3,000 people, and these battles are not planned and commanded by him, the battle of Saponaria Forest was personally planned and arranged by Liu Qi, and the water battle in Taiping Prefecture was planned by a counselor named Yu Yunwen, only a few days ago this water battle was planned and commanded by himself, so Yang Congyi is not worried, he does not have many people, Nor is he a soldier on the battlefield.
Wan Yanliang looked at the information in his hand, his face was gloomy as water.
The information he wanted, there was very little information handed over by his ministers, Yang Congyi's birth, experience, family background, age, place of origin, etc., there was nothing, and even how he came to Zhenjiang and Yangzhou, how could such information satisfy him?
In a fit of rage, the official in charge of the matter dismissed him on the spot, and then appointed another person and ordered him to collect the information he wanted within three days, if not, to see him!
How dare the accused official shirk, he can only accept the order, but he is not convinced.
In his opinion, this Yang Congyi is not a celebrity, not a battle-hardened general, nor a minister of the Song Dynasty, but just participated in three battles, which made Wan Yan Liang worried, suspicious, and suspicious, thinking that Wan Yan Liang should have no confidence in crossing the Yangtze River, so he took the opportunity to find an excuse to find a powerful opponent like a ghost, and then logically dispelled the idea of crossing the river, and then stopped the truce, otherwise how to persuade the hundreds of thousands of troops brought to return north?
Although he felt that Wan Yan Liang thought so, but the order had to be carried out, since he guessed his intention, he must find a terrible opponent for Wan Yan Liang and the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Jin Kingdom, and give them a reason to retreat.
Wan Yan Yong's coup d'Γ©tat in Liaoyang, Wan Yan Liang said that he didn't care, but he forbade anyone to talk about Wan Yan Yong, indicating that he was afraid in his heart, afraid that Wan Yan Yong would seize his throne in the rear, and after the failure of crossing the river in Hezhou, his confidence was greatly lost. Now that he has come to Yangzhou and witnessed a fiasco, he may have decided to retreat and return to the north, first clean up Yan Yong, and stabilize the rear, and Yang Congyi's appearance is the best reason to retreat, a ghost-like opponent, how to win? Of course, you can't fight hard, otherwise wouldn't you take the lives of ordinary soldiers?
Wan Yanliang wants to find a suitable reason to withdraw from the army that can reflect his benevolence and righteousness, so it is reasonable to create an invincible opponent like a ghost.
The minister who speculated clearly about Wan Yan Liang's mind and was forced to collect information about Yang Congyi knew in his heart that the information given to Wan Yan Liang could not be too fake, of course, it could not be true, and it would be adapted on the basis of facts, and it was not easy to get Yang Congyi's information from the hostile Song State, but as long as there was gold, everything would not be a problem.
First of all, he took out 200 taels of gold to find a low-level Han officer with a flexible mind, and let him blend in with the people who quietly crossed the river as a civilian, enter Zhenjiang City, and then use the gold to buy people who can get close to Yang Congyi, and find out the news about Yang Congyi from his mouth, or wait for the opportunity to sneak into the Jingwu army camp and personally find out the information he needs.
Due to the danger of this trip, he promised that if the Han officer could get true and reliable information about Yang Congyi as required, after the matter was completed, he would be rewarded with five hundred taels of gold!
This was a huge, unimaginably huge reward, and anyone would be tempted by it, and the officer did not hesitate to accept it immediately, immediately disguised himself, and quietly crossed the Yangtze River.
Two days later, the officer who was ordered to spy on Yang Congyi's news lived up to his trust and brought back a very complete piece of information, from Yang Congyi's first appearance in Taihu County to the present day to supervise the training of troops, no matter how big or small, there are as many as 10,000 words.
The minister was also surprised by such detailed information, for fear that the officer had made up nonsense and misled him, and was punished by Wan Yan Liang, so he tortured and tortured the officer, and forced him to ask him about the details of spying on Yang Congyi's information.
According to the officer, after he entered the city, he bribed a common man who sent chickens, ducks, fish and meat to the Jingwu army, and then entered the barracks with the people, and got along with the Jingwu army for two or three hours, and used the time to help them cook, and asked for the news they wanted, the origin of those Huotou soldiers is not ordinary, they have followed Yang Congyi for more than ten years, and the information they got from their mouths is absolutely true.
After repeated torture, in the end, the minister who collected Yang Congyi's information was responsible for confirming the authenticity of the intelligence source, and the officer was directly killed.
After that, the minister revised and polished the information obtained, and tried his best to rely on Yang Congyi's ability to the ghosts and gods.
A day later, Wan Yan Liang got a detailed piece of information about Yang Congyi, and the minister gave a complete account of the detailed process of obtaining the information in order to convince Wan Yan Liang of the authenticity of his information.
Holding a thick pile of information, Wan Yanliang was very satisfied, and thought to himself, it seems that if he doesn't force these old guys, he will never know their abilities.
He retreated from everyone, leaving only his favorite Mrs. Yunguo, and then, with her assistance, began to carefully check the information about Yang Congyi in his hand.
"Beauty, there are too many words on this paper, look dazzled, you can help me take a look, and tell me if you encounter something interesting." Wan Yanliang casually flipped through the information in his hand a few times, and handed it to the young woman who was snuggled beside him.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Mrs. Yuguo stretched out her hand to take the information in her hand, glanced at it and said: "Your Majesty, the slave family is not particularly proficient in Chinese, I don't know if I can recognize it all!" β
"It's okay, if you don't recognize it, just point it out to me." After speaking, Wan Yanliang reclined on the couch, the winter in the south is really cold, cold to the bone.
After hearing Yan Liang say this, Yan Chongjie's heart was a little calmer, and he immediately started from the first page and looked seriously.
After looking at it for a while, he said: "Your Majesty, this person named Yang Congyi is really interesting, it is said here that when he was born, suddenly a white light fell from the sky and hit the roof of their house, and the white light hit a big hole in the roof, but the child on the bed under the hole was unharmed, and said that he was different from other people since he was a child, and other children were afraid when they saw dogs and beasts, but dogs and beasts were afraid of him. It's strange, how can a beast be afraid of a child? β
"Nonsense. What else? Wan Yanliang was unmoved, this kind of thing is just a nonsense made up by people with good deeds.
Chongjie continued to look at it for a moment, and then said: "When he was ten years old, there was a sudden fire, and both parents and relatives died, but he was the only one who survived, and he became an orphan, and since then he has lived with tigers, leopards and beasts in the mountains, and he doesn't have to do it himself in the mountains, and those tigers and leopards that he tamed will catch pheasants, hares, and even wild boars for him to eat." He stayed in the mountains for ten years, and when he was twenty-one years old, he got tired of life in the mountains, said goodbye to the tiger and leopard that had accompanied him for many years, and left the mountains. Can a man really live with a wild beast for ten years? β
"Maybe, the world is full of wonders." Wan Yanliang closed his eyes slightly, and reached out to caress the other party's soft waist.
Chongjie picked up the page, read it carefully, and then said: "After this person came out of the mountains, he didn't go far to get involved in a robbery and murder case that killed more than ten people, and was put on death row by the Taihu County official as a murderer, and three days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, a criminal officer named Zhang Zhiyuan suddenly came to Taihu County to inspect, and found that the case was wronged, re-investigated the murder case, caught the real murderer, and returned his innocence. Luckily, if the criminal officer had gone two days late, wouldn't he have died? As he spoke, he put down the piece of paper he had finished reading.
"Some things don't just happen by luck." Wan Yanliang slowly groped in his hands, closed his eyes and replied.
"Oh my God, this is amazing, is it still human?" Chongjie looked at the paper full of words in his hand and exclaimed, and then he felt out of shape, and hurriedly said: "He was arrested in Taihu County for a few months, that is, in the winter of that year, the prisoners who were originally imprisoned in Huaining Prison took advantage of the heavy snow to escape from prison in large numbers, and among the escaped prisoners were more than 20 death row prisoners in the robbery and murder case where he was wronged, so Chen Ru, the magistrate of Taihu County, sent him to the hometown of one of the prisoners to inspect, but he walked for five days and just arrived there, he was stopped and cut by the murderer in ambush, and the wound on his back was two inches deep and five inches wide, and the blood flowed like a note. But he still desperately killed the murderer. The most amazing thing is that he was so badly injured that it only took three days for the wound to heal and five days to scab. Your Majesty, this is not true, is it? β
"No way, it's just an exaggeration." Wan Yanliang replied casually.
Chongjie put down the page and read on.
After a while, he said: "The executed prisoner who escaped from prison fled into the mountains, and he led the Taihu County Arrest Kuai and hundreds of other counties into the mountains to hunt down the fugitives, and more than two months later, except for the Taihu County Arrest Kuai he led to come out of the mountains safely, almost all the other counties died in the mountains, and when they came out of the mountains, they also captured a bandit leader, but they did not catch the fugitives. β
