Chapter 63: The Alum Secret Letter (Ask for Follow-up!) )
…
Yuwen Huangzhong glanced at the total number of troops at the end of the entire army plan.
"One hundred and twenty-five thousand three hundred and thirty-four?!"
Yuwen Huangzhong looked as usual on the surface, but he couldn't help but gasp in his heart!
"How can there be many thieves?!"
Yuwen Huangzhong was one of the people sent by Tong Guan to investigate the rebellion in the Liangzhejiang region.
Although Zhao Ji did not send Tong Guan south at the first time, the old and spicy Tong Guan still relied on the news collected from various channels to feel that this rebellion in the southeast should not be so simple, and I am afraid that in the end, he will have to take action in person.
Therefore, before Zhao Ji decided to send Tan Zhi to the southeast first, Tong Guan sent a few people to check the extent of the rebellion here in the southeast?
And Yuwen Huangzhong is one of them.
After Yuwen Huangzhong was ordered to Zhenjiang, he heard a lot of news:
It is said that Li Cun and Fang La are one family, Li Cun is a general under Fang La, and he was ordered by Fang La to conquer Hangzhou.
It is said that Li Cun and Fang La are not one family at all, and Li Cun is also the leader of the rebel army.
It is also said that Li Cun and Fang Lashi are on the verge of becoming fire and water, and the two have been fighting for territory.
In short, there is everything to say, the news is flying all over the sky, Yuwen Huangzhong can't tell which of these news is true and which is false, and then there is no way to report it to Tong Guan.
Yuwen Huangzhong felt that this would not work, if such news was reported to Tong Guan, it would affect Tong Guan's judgment of the situation in the southeast.
So Yuwen Huangzhong walked down the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal until he came to Hangzhou.
As soon as he approached Hangzhou, Yuwen Huangzhong heard that the Hu Benjun was engaged in the imperial examination, as long as he was a literati, he would be able to enter the imperial examination, and then he would be able to become an official in Hangzhou.
Yuwen Huangzhong was extremely surprised: "The rebels actually want to conduct the imperial examination, but is it still a group of villagers who get together to make a rebellion?!" ”
After Yuwen Huangzhong entered Hangzhou, he turned around, listened again, and found that most of the ordinary people here in Hangzhou supported the rebellion of the Tiger Army, and many of them actively participated in the rebellion of the Tiger Army, which did not look like they had encountered a military disaster at all.
Yuwen Huangzhong felt that this was terrifying, and this was out of the category of ordinary rebellion.
After thinking about it, Yuwen Huangzhong went straight to Hangzhou City.
When he arrived in Hangzhou City, some guards asked Yuwen Huangzhong what he was doing in Hangzhou City, and Yuwen Huangzhong said that he was here to participate in the imperial examination.
As a result, the people who interrogated Yuwen Huangzhong immediately warmly invited Yuwen Huangzhong to the post house, and Yuwen Huangzhong was served with delicious food and drink.
Yuwen Huangzhong felt more and more that the Tiger Benjun's behavior was abnormal, and it was likely to become a big problem for the imperial court.
Yuwen Huangzhong felt that only by penetrating into the Tiger Ben Army could he understand the Tiger Ben Army, and then report the situation of the Tiger Ben Army to the imperial court, and then help the imperial court exterminate the Tiger Ben Army.
As a result, Yuwen Huangzhong participated in the imperial examination held by the Tiger Ben Army.
Through the imperial examination, Yuwen Huangzhong finally met Li Cun, the founder of the Tiger Army.
Li Cun's first impression of Yuwen Huangzhong was that he was too young, and he shouldn't even be as old as his son.
But the next contact made Yuwen Huangzhong stunned to find that Li Cun's conversation, knowledge, and thinking were far from being comparable to his already excellent sons.
"No wonder this man can gather a rebellion among many people!"
Yuwen Huangzhong even had a heart of cherishing talents, feeling that if Li Cun did not embark on the road of rebellion, he would definitely be the pillar of the Great Song Dynasty.
When Li Cun asked about his family background, Yuwen Huangzhong did not hide it, because he felt that his family background could help him get a higher status, so that he could better collect intelligence, and then eliminate the Tiger Army.
Really!
When Yuwen Huangzhong exposed his door, Li Cun, who had always been approachable, suddenly looked stunned, and then Li Cun appointed him as the champion.
Now, as soon as he joined the Tiger Army, Li Cun asked Yuwen Huangzhong to participate in such a big thing as the reorganization of the Tiger Army, which seems to prove the correctness of Yuwen Huangzhong's previous approach, otherwise, how could Yuwen Huangzhong know the reality of the Tiger Army in such a short period of time?
It's just that Yuwen Huangzhong never expected that the Tiger Ben Army would have more than 125,000 soldiers to fight!
Moreover, Yuwen Huangzhong had already heard before that the reserve supervision army and political cadres of the Tiger Ben Army were mobilizing 100,000 people to go north with the Tiger Ben Army.
Yuwen Huangzhong also heard from Bao Zheng, who was newly elected from various villages, villages, villages and forts who came to participate in the mobilization meeting, that the Tiger Benjun would pay the people and divide the fields among the people, so those who were less than sixteen and more than fifty did not want it.
If the Tiger Ben Army can really get such a people, then after a little training and then a weapon to them, it will be another 100,000 bandit army.
Yuwen Huangzhong feels terrible when he thinks about it.
What worries Yuwen Huangzhong even more is that this is just a rebel of the Tiger Ben Army, how many bandits are there in the rebel army led by Fang La, which has been restructured in Jianyuan, and it should not be less than the Tiger Ben Army, otherwise how dare Jianyuan be reformed?
- Yuwen Huangzhong has already found out that the real relationship between Li Cun and Fang La is that although the two are not a traitor, they are related, one is responsible for fighting to the east, and the other is responsible for fighting to the west, which makes Yuwen Huangzhong very worried, because the imperial court did not expect that the rebels would flow westward, so they were not prepared for this at all.
In addition, Taizhou, Wuzhou, Quzhou, Chuzhou, and Yuezhou are said to have rebels.
In this way, I am afraid that there are not millions of rebels here in Liangzhejiang!
Yuwen Huangzhong has realized that the rebellion situation here in the southeast is countless times more serious than the worst estimate of those people in the DPRK and China, and it is impossible to suppress this chaos by relying only on Tan Zhi, who can only talk on paper, and it is necessary for Tong Guan to personally lead the western army that is ready to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun to come over to suppress this chaos.
Soon, Yuwen Huangzhong followed behind Li Cun and saw the more than 125,000 orders forbidden, uniform, even if the whole army was late at night, there was no one who stood up to say half a word of complaint.
This time, Yuwen Huangzhong was so frightened that his back was soaked through cold sweat!
- Yuwen Huangzhong thinks that if the rebels here in the southeast are like the Tiger Army, I am afraid that the Western Army will have to be dispatched to do so, no, no, no, the Hebei Forbidden Army and the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army must also be transferred out of a large part to be able to exterminate the chaos!
After running, Li Cun helped Li Cun reorganize until late at night, and Yuwen Huangzhong dragged his tired body back to his residence.
Before entering the room, Yuwen Huangzhong looked carefully left and right, and then asked the little servant he brought to guard the door.
Afterwards, Yuwen Huangzhong entered the room alone, wrote a secret letter in the shortest possible time, and sealed it into the wax pill.
Early the next morning, Yuwen Huangzhong found an excuse to personally send the little guy out of the city, and then hid the wax pill in the little guy's hair with his own hands.
After doing all this, Yuwen Huang Zhongqian instructed the little guy to hand over this wax pill to Tong Guan himself, and then let the little guy leave from the trail.
Seeing that the little guy walked away, Yuwen Huangzhong returned to Hangzhou City alone.
- Yuwen Huangzhong felt that he couldn't leave yet, and he should stay to collect more information for the imperial court, and help the imperial court eliminate Li Cun's henchmen when necessary.
About half an hour later, this wax pill appeared in Li Cun's hands, and Yuwen Huangzhong's little guy was naturally controlled by Wu Desi.
Li Cun pinched the wax pill open, and then unfolded the secret letter in it.
As a result, there was not a word on the white space on the secret letter.
Seeing this, Hu Tu on the side immediately reminded Li Cundao: "Weichen saw with his own eyes that the guy took a piece of alum while eating, this must be a secret letter of alum, put it in the water, and its words were immediately revealed." ”
Hu Tu has been living in the rivers and lakes since he was a child, and he can learn all kinds of musical instruments and small songs, and as for literacy, he can't tell who he learned it from, anyway, he learned it in a daze.
As for the scriptures, Hutu has never read a single one.
However, since he was a child, Hutu liked to listen to storytellers, tell stories and listen to plays.
Therefore, Hutu actually knows quite a lot.
However, Hutu knew these things, and it was certainly not enough for him to embark on a career in office.
It wasn't until Hu Tu overheard someone talk about General Huben and the imperial examinations that General Huben was organizing.
Hutu was keenly aware that this could be an opportunity for him.
But Hu Tu knew too well that he had a few catties and a few taels, so Hu Tu fooled a few literati he knew to come with him to take the imperial examination, thinking that he had brought so many people to General Hu Ben, and General Hu Ben would not reward him for being an official, but also let him be an errand boy.
What Hu Tu never expected was that although he was the first from the bottom, General Hu Ben still admitted him as a fellow jinshi.
Hutu woke up laughing from his dreams.
What made Hu Tu even happier was that just after high school, General Huben personally gave him a task that seemed to him to be very important, that is, to monitor Yuwen Huangzhong, the champion of the undergraduate.
Hutu attaches great importance to this task, not only is he always monitoring Yuwen Huangzhong, but he also does everything possible not to show any horses.
Hu Tu was lucky, he only monitored Yuwen Huangzhong for two days before he discovered the anomaly in Yuwen Huangzhong.
Hu Tu hurriedly reported the situation to the Wu Desi secret agent who was with him to spy on Yuwen Huangzhong.
Soon, Wu Desi secretly arrested Yuwen Huangzhong's little servant, and Hu Tu made a great contribution.
Hu Tu must not let this duck that has reached his mouth fly, so, seeing that there is no word on the secret letter, he hurriedly reminded General Hu Ben that this may be a secret letter from alum.
Li Cun smiled and said to Hu Tu: "Do you still know about the Alum Secret Letter? ”
Hu Tu hurriedly bowed and said: "Wechen has heard that the storyteller has talked about secret writing, so when he stole the alum, he guessed that he wanted to write the secret letter of the alum. ”
Seeing that Hu Tu even knew the secret writing technique, Li Cun suddenly felt that although this Hu Tu was not good at learning, he might be a talent, and maybe he could cultivate it well.
Li Cun asked Liang Hongyu to bring a basin of water, and then put the secret letter into it.
Soon, more than 100 dense small characters were displayed on MeSign.
After reading these more than 100 words, Li Cun smiled.
This Yuwen Huangzhong really deserves to be the first spy in the Southern Song Dynasty, and in such a short period of time, he actually knew the details of himself and the Tiger Ben Army.
Li Cun fished the secret letter out of the water and handed it to Liang Hongyu for her to keep.
At this time, Zhang Chaocai gave a gift and asked for instructions: "Dare to ask the general, how to deal with this Yuwen Huangzhong, and use our company to send someone to control him?" ”
Li Cun smiled and shook his head: "No need, I still have a useful place for this person, so let him toss it." ”
