Chapter 59: Wolf Ambition
Huiqing's mood at this time is complicated, although she is silent, but her heart is extremely entangled, although she is already a monk, but in the environment of Lanruo Temple in Wolf Mountain, that is, eating fasting and reciting Buddha, and even many Buddhist rules and precepts, the deep meaning of major things have not had time to teach her to sit down, not to mention that she is angry out of the house, far from reaching the realm of the four major emptiness and the six pure roots, because she has not yet broken through the red dust, some love threads, and the cutting is still chaotic.
How many times, she even had an impulse to tell Yu Qing that she was Zhao Kuangyan, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know where to start.
……
The two of them came to an inn, and the shopkeeper beckoned them to sit down.
Hui ordered two vegetarian dishes and a meat dish, and the vegetarian dishes were eaten by himself, and the meat dishes were given to Yu Qing to eat.
While eating, they asked the shopkeeper about the situation.
Yu Qing asked: "Little second brother, this Xinzhou was very lively before, why is it deserted now?" ”
The shopkeeper replied: "The guest officer doesn't know, I heard that there is another war, and the residents of Xinzhou City are walking and fleeing, and I don't know when they will be able to live a stable life this year!" ”
At the mention of war, Yu Qing couldn't help but mourn the hardships of the people's livelihood, and couldn't help but think of the will of his uncle.
I went down the mountain this time to look for Chai Rong, but four years have passed and I have found nothing.
Not only could he not find Chai Rong, but he also lost his confidante.
Thinking of this, Yu Qing couldn't help but sigh, and said to himself: "Yu Qing, Yu Qing, you are really useless, you are ashamed of your teacher, you are ashamed of your friends, what face do you have to live in the world?" ”
As he spoke, he grabbed his hair with all his might, looking very distressed.
Huiqing looked at Yu Qing's self-blaming appearance, distressed and helpless, and stopped talking.
Silence, terrible silence.
At this time, several businessmen-looking people entered the restaurant.
They are all dressed like Central Plains people, but they speak very strangely, although they speak Chinese, but they are very lame.
The businessmen sat down and began to talk in whispers.
Yu Qing heard it clearly, they were speaking Khitan dialect.
At the beginning, Yu Qing and Zhao Kuangyan stayed in Shangjing for a few months, and they were very familiar with the Khitan dialect, obviously those were Khitans, but why did they dress up as merchants in the Central Plains?
So unusual, there must be something strange about it.
Huiqing remained silent and ate his meal quietly.
Yu Qing became alert, although those Khitans spoke very quietly, but Yu Qing now had strong internal strength, but he could hear it clearly, but they were talking about some inconsequential things.
That night, Yu Qing and Huiqing stayed at this inn.
This time, Huiqing didn't embarrass Yu Qing, and opened a room for him.
Those Khitans also stayed here.
The suspicious dress of the Khitans attracted Yu Qing's attention, and they must have ulterior motives.
At night, Yu Qing quietly sneaked to the roof of the Khitan guest room and gently uncovered a piece of tile.
The Khitans were discussing something.
I only heard a Khitan man say: "The emperor is plotting Hedong this time, and his ambition is to win, I will immediately get the topographic map and the defense map of Hedong and hand it over to the emperor. The emperor casually sealed a thousand households to us, then there would be no good food and clothing for ten lifetimes, and there was still a need to work hard to fight grass valleys everywhere? ”
"What? The Khitans want to plot Hedong? ”
When Yu Qing heard the news, he was already shocked into a cold sweat.
Although the Khitan has clashed with Hedong many times, everyone is tacitly and just pretentious every time, because Hedong and the Khitan have secretly signed a non-aggression pact, but this time the news heard is not trivial, the Khitan people pretend to be merchants to spy on the layout and terrain of Hedong, which is not good.
"No, you must notify Lord Liu immediately, so that he can prepare to resist the invasion of the Khitans."
Thinking of this, Yu Qing went up and down a few times, returned to the guest room, and knocked on Huiqing's door.
Huiqing said, "Come in, the door is not pinned." ”
Yu Qing entered the house and said to Huiqing: "Master Huiqing, I have something important to go first, I must go back to Taiyuan immediately, you come slowly." ”
Huiqing said: "Forget it, I came this time mainly to bring a letter to Liu Zhiyuan for my senior brother, this is not far from Taiyuan, please help me bring this letter to Liu Zhiyuan, I don't have to go to Taiyuan." ”
Huiqing only said about the letter, but he didn't say a word about monitoring Yu Qing.
Yu Qing knew that Huiqing was a knife-mouthed tofu-hearted person, and although she was a little unpleasant along the way, she was not the heinous person.
Therefore, although he wanted to leave immediately, he still greeted her politely.
Yu Qing turned around and prepared to leave.
Huiqing: "Hey! "Yes.
Yu Qing turned around and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Huiqing wanted to speak and stopped, saying that it was okay.
Yu Qing strode out of the inn.
Hui Qingcai whispered: "Be careful! ”
But Yu Qing has already left, and he will be heard there.
……
Taiyuan Province, Hedong.
Yu Qing met with Liu Zhiyuan and told him about the Khitans' attempt to get involved in Hedong.
Liu Zhiyuan said: "Brother Yu, this information you brought to me is too timely. If you hadn't rushed to inform us, we wouldn't have known about the wolf ambitions of the Khitans. ”
Yu Qing said: "Lord Liu, what we have to do now is to hurry up and prepare for war, but our work must be tight inside and loose outside, paralyze the enemy, and not arouse the suspicion of the Khitans and make them think that we are defenseless." ”
Liu Zhiyuan said: "What Brother Yu said is very true. We immediately convened a military conference and carefully studied it. ”
Then he said to his attendants: "Pass the order, and the generals from all walks of life in Hedong will immediately go to the council hall to convene an emergency military meeting." ”
After a while, the generals from all walks of life in Hedong came to the conference hall one after another.
Liu Zhiyuan first informed the generals of the information that Yu Qing had spied on.
Wang Junzuo reported: "The lord of Qizuo, the Khitan lord Yelu Deguang and our Hedong signed a secret pact of mutual non-aggression, I am afraid that this information is wrong. Moreover, the mountains and rivers in the east of my river are dangerous, the customs are still martial, there are thousands of good horses, the generals are like clouds, and the military revolution is strong, although the Khitan is known as a million soldiers, but over the years, they have not dared to touch the east of the river, only the words of the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that it is not enough to believe! ”
Guo Wei got up and reported: "Lord, Lord Wang will not agree with what he said, now Jin and Liao are at odds, since the beginning of this year, there have been no less than dozens of large and small wars between the Khitan and my Great Jin, each side has its own victories and defeats, each has casualties, and all kinds of signs show that the Khitan has my heart." Although we have signed a secret agreement with the Khitan, as we all know, the Khitan people do not believe in their words, and Yelu Deguang is capricious. As the saying goes: 'The heart of harming people can not be had, the heart of preventing people is indispensable', the last general is afraid that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind will not stop, since Brother Yu brought the information that the Khitan people are plotting against me in Hedong, we would rather believe that it is not credible, everything is predetermined, and if it is not prepared, we still have to make plans in advance to prevent accidents. ”
Liu Zhiyuan nodded, agreed with Guo Wei's words, and said to Shi Hongzhao: "Master Shi, do you have any important information about the spies we sent on the Khitan side?" ”
Shi Hongzhao got up and reported: "Back to the lord, according to the report from the Khitan spies, in recent days, the Khitan side has indeed been deploying troops, and it seems that there is a big move. ”
Liu Zhiyuan said: "That's right, it seems that the information brought by Brother Yu is true, and the Khitan really wants to do something to my Hedong." ”
Other generals also reported on the military intelligence they had gathered.
The mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings, and it seems that the Khitan's plot against Hedong is not groundless.
After Liu Zhiyuan and the generals discussed, he immediately made careful arrangements for the deployment of Hedong.
"What are the generals' best strategies for repelling the enemy?" Liu Zhiyuan asked.
