Two hours have passed since Zhang Shun went into the water, but there is still no movement on the side of the Jin Bing camp, Li Yanqing stood on the head of the city with his hands and looked at the Jin camp two miles away, it was impossible for him not to worry in his heart.

Although the establishment of a camp across the river by Jin soldiers is a big loophole, it is impossible for Wanyan Zongwang not to see it, he will definitely increase the number of patrols to fill this loophole, Zhang Shun's water nature Li Yanqing is not worried, he is only worried that Zhang Shun will be promoted to an official and break into the barracks.

"Dutong is worried that General Zhang will miss?" Xu Ning stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

Li Yanqing nodded, "I'm really a little worried, but judging from the quietness of the camp opposite, he shouldn't have missed yet, maybe he's still waiting for the opportunity." ”

"Maybe he's already infiltrated the big tent." Xu Ning added.

"I hope so!"

"Dutong, there is a saying in the lowly position that I don't know whether to say it or not?"

"General Xu said it bluntly!"

Xu Ning pondered and asked, "If General Zhang succeeds this time, will it affect the negotiations of the official family?" ”

"Negotiations?"

Li Yanqing sneered and said: "The official family went out in the morning but didn't come back in the evening, is this the sincerity of the negotiations between the two sides?" I can't see it. ”

After all, Xu Ning is a military general, and he can't understand the negotiation thoroughly, but he understands the meaning of Li Yanqing's words, and he can't help but change his face, "What does Dutong mean, is it possible that the official family will not come back?" ”

Li Yanqing said lightly: "The Jin Kingdom has broken through the outer city so easily, I'm afraid that everything in the inner city has long been regarded as something in their pockets, and the negotiation is just a disguise, so let's open the city and surrender in the most humiliating way I'm afraid it's their goal." ”

Xu Ning's face changed continuously, and he said after a while: "Maybe the Jin soldiers are not rare in the capital, they want to force us to sign an agreement and use the cream of the people of the whole country to support them, just like the Tanyuan Alliance." ”

Li Yanqing shook his head, "These nomads, like locusts, firmly believe that wealth and women are robbed, not negotiated, the reason why the Khitans signed the Tanyuan Alliance is not that they don't want to go south to loot, but they don't have the ability to do so, now the Jin soldiers are sweeping all the way south, they can grab as much wealth as they want, and only when they can't grab it, they will consider sitting down to negotiate, and then it will be the real negotiation." ”

Xu Ning sighed lowly, "I understand, it seems that this time the official family is really more auspicious." ”

In fact, Li Yanqing also thought of a possibility, if Zhang Shun succeeded, would Wan Yan Xian release Zhao Huan back and remove him from his post?

It can only be said that there is such a possibility, and Wan Yan Xian also has to consider the risk of not being able to catch Zhao Huan again, after all, it is a bit reluctant to spit out the fat in his mouth, so how to choose Yan Xian after reading it.

..........

Li Yanqing considered many possibilities, but there was one thing that he overlooked, he didn't think of Yan Qing's mysterious mission for a while.

Today, there was a trivial incident in the main camp of the Jin soldiers, hundreds of soldiers fell ill one after another, vomiting and diarrhea, and the military doctors were so busy that their hands and feet did not stop.

"What the hell is going on?"

Wan Yan Xian also sat at the table, and asked the general Wan Yan Xiyin with some dissatisfaction, Wan Yan Xiyin is the chief general in charge of logistics, this evening, hundreds of soldiers in Beizhai suddenly fell, which suddenly put a huge pressure on his shoulders, it is not a good sign for soldiers to get sick, it doesn't matter if a few people get sick occasionally, but hundreds of people fall ill at once, Wan Yan Xiyin is also a little worried.

"I asked the military doctor, and the military doctor said that it might be that the water and soil are not adapted, or it may be that the food is not clean tonight, or it may be infected with some disease."

"I just want to know what the hell is the reason?" Wan Yan Xian was also a little impatient.

"We have been sending troops for a long time, and the unaccustomed water and soil can be ruled out, and the military doctors tend to have unclean food, and these hundreds of people are all soldiers of the same village, so they should eat the same food."

"Then why isn't it infected?" Wan Yan also asked.

"Back to the marshal of the capital, the military doctor said that the soldiers of the main camp basically did not go out, and Zong Han's cavalry did not return to the main camp, if it was infected during the siege, the fallen soldiers should be Nanzhai on Zong Wang's side, not the main camp, so the military doctor felt that it was unlikely to be infected."

Wanyan Xiyin's explanation made some sense, Wanyan Xian also thought about it, accepted it for the time being, and nodded and said, "Okay!" Keep an eye on it and report to me as soon as anything changes. ”

In fact, Wan Yan Xian also thought of the plague, but if that was the case, the situation would be too serious, he didn't dare to think about it over there, for fear of shaking the army's heart, but he didn't dare to be careless at all, and ordered Wan Yan Xiyin to pay close attention to the changes in the soldier's condition.

"Obey the order!"

After Yan Xiyin saluted, he retreated.

At this time, Wan Yan Xian also asked Yelu Yu next to him, "How is the situation on the Song Dynasty emperor's side?" ”

"He wants to go back to the city and have a few ministers negotiate on his behalf in the Golden Camp?"

"Back to the city?" Wan Yan Xian also snorted coldly, "Do you still want to go back to Jinying?" Dry him for a few days, and tomorrow give him food for the prisoners, so that he can know for himself. ”

Wan Yan Xian had just said this, only to hear a series of earth-shattering explosions, 'Boom! Boom..... the earth began to tremble, and the two candlesticks on the table toppled to the ground, and the inside of the tent was suddenly pitch black.

More than a dozen pro-soldiers squatted down in shock, but Wan Yanxie's face was pale, and he slowly clenched his fists, he had already guessed what was wrong.

The explosion never stopped, but Wan Yan Xian also slammed his fist on the table, "Wan Yan Zongwang, you idiot!" ”

I don't know how many hundred explosions have been blown up, the explosion of earth-shattering thunder finally stopped, Wan Yan Xian also strode out of the camp tent, he looked at the sea of fire in the distance, and hated him so much that he gritted his teeth and said: "Li Yanqing, it's you again!" ”

At this time, all the soldiers walked out of the camp and looked in the direction of the city, and everyone's face looked very heavy.

The outer city of Tokyo was already a sea of fire, where was the seat of the Golden Camp, and above the raging flames was thick smoke billowing out, obscuring the sky and the sun, at this time, the generals rushed one after another, and asked nervously: "Dashuai, what is going on, has it been attacked by the enemy?" ”

Wan Yan Xian was also unusually calm and said to the generals: "The emperor of the Song Dynasty is in our hands, and the Song army does not dare to mess around, this should be caused by poor storage, and Wan Yan Zongwang will bear all the responsibility!" ”

...........

At the same moment as a series of explosions sounded, Zhang Shun also jumped into the river, in fact, when the fire oil tent was ignited, he ran all the way and shouted: "It's a fire!" This was the only Jurchen he learned, and that was to confuse the enemy when he fled.

The eastern camp has been flattened by countless earth-shattering blast waves, and many burning tents have been blown up into the air, falling in the western camp, and also igniting the western camp, and soon it will burn into a piece, originally the two subordinates were going to take advantage of the chaos to go to the western camp to light the fire, but now it seems that they don't need to take action at all.

The trio had a smooth return journey, and after half an hour, they returned to the inner city.

Zhang Shun was led in front of Li Yanqing by a soldier, Zhang Shun knelt down on one knee and saluted, "I am fortunate to be humiliated!" ”

Li Yanqing hurriedly helped him up and said with a smile: "General Zhang has made great contributions this time, he deserves to be rewarded, from tomorrow onwards you will be a partial general in our army, I will perform military merits to the Privy Council and make up for the official rank!" ”

Zhang Shun was overjoyed, "Thank you for your appreciation, and you should do your best to serve Dutong!" ”

Zhang Shun has been on the underworld for many years, robbing merchant ships, and has accumulated a rich net worth, and now he has reached the time to clear his name, he knows in his heart that the imperial court will not pay attention to water thieves like him, and only Li Yanqing will appreciate himself, so he said very clearly that he is working for Li Yanqing, not for the imperial court.

At this time, Xu Ning stepped forward and said with a smile: "General Zhang, can you tell me the specific experience?" ”

Zhang Shun nodded, and then told in detail how he sneaked into the barracks, Li Yanqing listened very carefully, and he suddenly interjected and asked, "Do you think the other party has a thousand earth-shaking thunders?" ”

Zhang Shun thought for a while and said, "There are not a thousand, about nine hundred and twenty or thirty." ”

Li Yanqing smiled happily: "That's right, this should be all the earth-shattering thunder of Jin Bing." ”

"Dutong, what do you say?" Zhang Qing, who had just arrived, asked anxiously.

"It's very simple, if it's just a part of the Jin Bing main camp allocated to the outer city military camp, it should be an whole number, three hundred or five hundred, etc., and there will never be a fraction of it in a big tent, so I can be sure that even if the outer city military camp does not store all the earth-shattering thunder of the Jin country, it will have at least nine layers."

Zhang Qing and Xu Ning glanced at each other, both of them showed excitement in their eyes, if this was the case, wouldn't the worries they were most worried about disappear?

In fact, Li Yanqing also faintly thought that the Jin soldiers might put all the earth-shaking thunders in the outer city barracks, they originally planned to use 30,000 troops to capture the inner city, just like they knew that there were loopholes in the cross-river garrison, as long as the garrison was reduced, there would be no such loopholes, but the Jin soldiers did not correct it, in the final analysis, it was still a kind of light enemy, and it was not surprising that they put all the earth-shaking thunders together because of the intention of underestimating the enemy.

Thinking of this, Li Yanqing smiled: "I'm just guessing, I'm not sure if it's so, but we still have to take precautions." ”

"I don't know what precautions mean?" Xu Ning hurriedly asked.

"Didn't Xu Dutong already say it before? What is the most feared by the earth-shattering thunder? Li Yanqing smiled slightly.

"Water!" Xu Ning blurted out.

Li Yanqing nodded, "That's right, our city wall itself is very strong, not afraid of earth-shaking thunder, the weakness is in the city gate, only a hundred loads of water are stored on each city gate, and if the enemy wants to blow up the city gate, they will splash it with water, and the earth-shaking thunder will naturally be dumb." ”

Everyone laughed, "What a strategy to splash water and extinguish thunder!" ”
