The Daimyo's Mansion is the largest garrison in the Jin Kingdom except for the Yanshan Mansion, stationed 30,000 Jin soldiers, in the battles of repeated southern invasions, the Daimyo's Mansion is the logistics of the Jin soldiers, and even the Jin soldiers have not been able to shake the status of the Daimyo's Mansion after capturing Bianliang.

This is also because the geographical location of the Daimyo Mansion is extremely important, the Daimyo Mansion controls Hebei in the north, the Central Plains in the south, and Shandong in the east, which is the core place for the Jin State to control the Great Song Dynasty.

Like other big cities, the Daimyo's Mansion had already withered after being swept away like a locust by the Golden Soldiers, its business was declining, its population was plummeting, and the entire city was in a state of twilight, with its population reduced from nearly one million to more than 200,000 today.

Outside the northern city of the famous city, there is a military camp covering an area of nearly 10,000 acres, which is the largest golden military camp in the entire Hebei and Central Plains, which can accommodate up to 50,000 cavalry, and currently stationed 30,000 cavalry under the command of Wanyan Zonggan.

Jin Bing didn't like the narrow military camp in the city, so they circled a large area of land outside the city as their military camp, and the racecourse alone had more than 7,000 acres, and there were woods and rivers in it.

However, because the military camp was too big, the Jin soldiers could not build a wall or camp fence, so they dug a trench around it, and at the same time, Wanyan Zonggan ordered that no one was allowed to appear within three miles of the trench.

In the afternoon of that day, in the woods about two miles away from the trench of the barracks, a thin man climbed on a big tree and looked at the barracks from a distance.

For half a month, the Song army's intelligence station in the Daimyo's Mansion would send people to secretly monitor the Jin soldiers' military camp almost every day, usually hiding in a large forest in the northwest corner, coming and going at night, so that they would not be discovered by the Jin soldiers' patrols.

Today, the intelligence scout who is hiding in the big tree to monitor the Jin Bing military camp is called Chen Jiang, who is a native of the Daimyo Mansion, joined the Jingzhao Army scout camp two years ago, and is now an escort team, each soldier in the Jingzhao Army scout camp has his own stunt, this Chen Jiang's stunt is good at climbing, he can climb the city wall with his bare hands, and won the third place in the climbing competition of the scout camp last year.

Chen Jiang had come here to observe Jin Bing for the third day, he was wearing a dark samurai suit almost the same color as the trees, and he was climbing on a tall pine tree, his body was covered by dense pine needles, and he was not visible at all below, and he would only be found after climbing the pine tree.

Chen Jiang climbed up the pine tree before dawn, he had been on the pine tree for almost five hours, which really made him a little exhausted, he leaned on a branch, took out the kettle and drank water, at this moment, there was a low horn sound in the barracks, the horn sound came too suddenly, so that he was startled, and the kettle almost fell off the tree.

He hurriedly stuffed the kettle into his backpack, climbed to the top of the tree, and looked out at the barracks two miles away.

Condescendingly, he saw it very clearly, only to see a group of Jurchen cavalry rapidly assembling, this was not training, but a real assembly, and it was the first time he had seen it since he monitored the barracks.

Chen Jiang was very excited, and he suddenly realized that the higher authorities asked them to monitor the Jin Bing camp, perhaps for today's assembly.

More and more cavalry were assembled, more than 10,000 people, 10,000 people were assembled, and they rushed out with the general's shouting order, and then the second 10,000-strong cavalry assembled.

Chen Jiang was shocked, in just half an hour, 30,000 cavalry had rushed out of the camp, that is to say, the troops in the entire barracks poured out.

He immediately realized the importance of this information, climbed down the tree and ran towards the city.

.........

At the end of an old street in the famous city, there is a shop that sells tea, called Yang Ji Tea Cake Shop, the shop is not big, sells all kinds of tea cakes and tea bricks, most of them are shipped from the south, the tea shop has fixed customers, there are not many people who usually come to buy tea, it seems a little deserted.

Another identity of this tea shop is that the Song army set up an intelligence point in the Daimyo Mansion, with a total of six people including the shopkeeper and his associates, plus more than a dozen local intelligence scouts living in the Daimyo Castle, the intelligence scouts of the entire Daimyo Mansion are composed of a total of twenty people.

Chen Jiang's identity is also a guy in this tea shop, he is pushing a wheelbarrow that transports goods, and it seems that he has just returned from delivery.

He parked the wheelbarrow outside the door, walked into the tea shop and said loudly: "Shopkeeper, business is very good today!" ”

This is a code word, business generally means that the intelligence harvest is average, business is not good means that there is no intelligence, and business is very good, it means that there is major intelligence.

A person leaned out of the room, it was the shopkeeper Wang Yan, who was also the commander of the intelligence point of the Daimyo's Mansion, a general, about Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, he beckoned to Chen Jiang, and Chen Jiang immediately walked to the room.

"How many cavalry have set off from the battalion?" Wang Yan asked.

Chen Jiang said with a smile: "All 30,000 cavalry are dispatched. ”

"Good boy, big deal!"

Wang Yan rubbed his hands with joy, "No wonder the daimyo Nanku sent a million loads of forage to Yunzhou." ”

"This is also new information?"

Wang Yan nodded, "The implementation just started this morning, and we will also levy 100,000 people to transport grain and grass in Daimyofu, Xiangzhou and Bozhou, and it is estimated that our store will be closed for a few days." ”

Chen Jiang thought for a while and said, "Why don't we burn this million loads of forage with one fire!" ”

"No!"

Wang Yan denied his dangerous idea on the spot, and he emphasized: "These 30,000 cavalry must arrive in Yunzhou safely, and there must be no problems in between." ”

"But do they have so many ships?"

"There are enough boats on the Yellow River, the key is that I'm worried that Gao Qingyi will increase the number of troops in the Daimyo's Mansion?"

"We can't take care of this for the time being, let's tell Yan Dutong the news of the dispatch first!"

Wang Yan nodded, "You're right, this is the top priority!" ”

.........

The intelligence scouts of the Daimyo Mansion sent two pigeon letters at the same time, one to Yunzhou Sucheng and the other to Lin'an.

When the carrier pigeon flew to Pingjiang Mansion for transit, night had fallen, and the carrier pigeon could no longer fly, and the prefect Mo Jun saw that he was using a purple letterbox, knowing that this information was not trivial, he immediately ordered three messengers to run to Lin'an overnight, and be sure to send it to Lin'an Mansion before dawn.

The three messengers changed horses all the way, and finally arrived at Lin'an City at the fifth watch, and the three of them shouted under the Yuhang Gate: "Send emergency military information!" ”

The soldiers guarding the gate of the city hurriedly opened the city gate, checked their documents, and then let them enter the city, they ran all the way in the city, and soon came to the military letter office, which is equivalent to the post office in Lin'an, there are two places, one is called the military letter office, as the name suggests, it is the place to receive military information, and there is also a place called the political letter office, which is the place to send and receive the imperial court's documents.

The two letter offices are located in front of the gate of the imperial city, the left army and the right text, are two buildings with the same appearance, but there are still differences, the biggest difference is that the military letter office set up a Yellow Dragon banner of the Song Army.

Although it was not yet dawn, there were still troops standing guard, and an officer was on duty every night, and the soldiers handed over the emergency mailbox to the general on duty, and the general was also startled when he saw that it was a purple letterbox, and hurriedly sent someone to the regent's palace to deliver the letter.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Fujin was awakened by the sound of footsteps, and then there was a faint sound of talking, she pushed her husband, "Husband, there seems to be something outside." ”

Li Yanqing opened his eyes, and at this time, there was a female guard outside the tent to report: "Your Highness Qiqi, a purple pigeon letter has arrived!" ”

Li Yanqing hurriedly sat up, put on a robe and came to the outhouse, the female guard handed him a pigeon letter, Li Yanqing sat under the lamp and opened the pigeon letter, the letterbox was engraved with the word 'Daimyo', he actually understood what was going on.

He opened the pigeon letter, and there was only one sentence on it, '30,000 Jurchen cavalry have gone to Yunzhou, transferred a million forage, and recruited 100,000 people, and then look at the date, it happened yesterday. ”

Li Yanqing was completely sleepy, and immediately came back and put on his robe, Zhao Fujin put on his robe and asked, "It's only the fifth watch, where is the husband going?" ”

"There is an emergency military situation, I will go to the study."

"Then the concubine is going to prepare tea!"

Li Yanqing nodded, "Be more prepared, there are still a few generals coming over." ”

"The concubine knows!"

Li Yanqing hugged her into his arms, kissed her heavily on the red lips, and then walked quickly to the inner study with a smile.
