Chapter 252: Open Recruitment of Spies

Mei Niang is not a spy, but Ouyang believes that there will always be someone who is a spy in such an environment. Ouyang wasn't sure if Zhong Xiang would come in person. But if someone comes, the least one who comes is the main force of Zhong Xiang, that is, the believers that Zhong Xiang relies on the most and are not afraid of death.

Ouyang doesn't have to think about it so much, because someone will. Ouyang can concentrate on hand-to-hand combat with Mei Niang. It's just that Ouyang didn't expect Mei Niang to cry afterwards. Ouyang asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, I just thought you'd have to leave sooner or later." Mei Niang wiped her tears, lay on Ouyang's body, hugged her, and asked, "Will you remember me when you're gone?" ”

"Absolutely."

"Will you take me away?"

It seems that this Mei Niang is not familiar enough! Everyone is an adult, not seeking eternity, just what they once had. Alas...... Sex education is still poor. Ouyang said: "I'll give you a sum of money, you can go wherever you want, don't stay here." ”

"Why?"

"Wolves have more meat and less meat."

"Nasty!"

Ouyang successfully changed the subject.

……

What should come will come eventually. In the middle of the night, Mei Niang woke up when she heard the movement, and then listened carefully to the voice, and hurriedly pushed Ouyang: "Wrongdoer, wrongdoer!" ”

"Baby, you can't just work without working hard!" Ouyang's sleepy eyes were hazy, and he pressed Mei Niang under him.

"No!" Mei Niang reluctantly stretched out her hand and lit a candle with a faint coal lamp.

"Your body is so beautiful" Ouyang couldn't help but be attracted by Mei Niang in the candlelight, and her hand gently swam and stroked.

"Listen to the voice, is something wrong?"

"Voice?" Ouyang pricked up his ears, and sure enough, he heard a little movement. In the silence of the night, there seemed to be a noise in the distance that should not have been. Ouyang smiled and said: "Some things are like Gao Yuchao, if you can't come, you can't work hard." But when you come, you have to come without trying. ”

Mei Niang hurriedly said: "Don't play, it seems to be the sound of many people walking." “

Ouyang kissed and said, "Maybe I'll have to leave tomorrow." ”

Mei Niang was about to ask again, and suddenly a heaven-shattering sound sounded, and the fire outside the window was soaring. Then there was a neat shout: "The Northwest Forbidden Army, I am invincible." ”

Ouyang turned over and lay flat and said, "These thousand people have followed me to guard the county and followed me to Yuzhou. Zhong Xiang always thought that there were only 1,000 of them. He didn't know that these 1,000 people were the first elite of the Great Song Dynasty. He does not yet know how many mines have been laid on their offensive lines these days. ”

Mei Niang suddenly said: "No wonder you want someone to transport wine from Jiangling to give you a drink." ”

"The people of the Great Song Dynasty have never seen firearms. They thought that 10,000 people could always fight 1,000 people. Ouyang got out of bed naked and walked to the window to open the window. Three miles away, the flames soared into the sky. Ouyang could even see the panicked expressions of the enemy in the firelight. Ouyang said: "They don't know that there are actually three hundred people over there. Three hundred more men had already encircled them. ”

Mei Niang also got out of bed and snuggled up to Ouyang and asked, "What about the four hundred?" ”

"You're keeping me safe." Ouyang smiled: "Do you think Zhong Xiang is important to me?"

……

One-night stand, Ouyang likes this word, I believe many people like it. Of course, there are many people who are disgusted. Anyway, there is, after all. When he was lingering, someone knocked on the door and said, "My lord, do you want to capture the thief Yang alive." ”

"Otherwise."

"The thief is defeated. They have already walked seven miles from the river, and they will flee for their lives seven miles. The brothers are on the hunt. The man said, "It went much better than expected, and the thieves were blown up by the first wave." Then, when they retreated, they were bombarded by a second wave of mines, plus hand guns, and they all fled with their heads in their hands, and the last general saw that they had no idea what was happening. ”

In this plan, Ouyang was only 1,000 people, and Ouyang bullied the buns who had never seen firearms, and they couldn't accept the non-stop thunderclap at all. At present, firearms are only equipped in the trilateral army and the first navy, and the local troops are not only not equipped, but have not even seen them. At most, I've only heard about it......

The three layers of Lalei were all quietly transported in and buried quietly in the night. Each layer of explosion area covers several acres of land. The most terrible thing is that the rebels have already walked seven miles, and they have to flee for another seven miles, and they have to endure two more explosions on the way.

The important points of this plan are...... Playing with women. Ouyang took advantage of the darkness of human nature again. Many people prefer to believe that a successful person is a hypocrite, a fool, and that success is all made by luck. I don't want to believe that this person is really capable. So Ouyang became a person who can only play with women, as the saying goes, heroes are sad to be beautiful. And the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, and the people below are naturally casual. According to Liu Qi's estimate, if the rebel army came with 10,000 people, it could easily be taken, and 20,000 people, Ouyang must be evacuated. If there were 30,000 people, Ouyang would have to flee for his life. It is crucial to control the number of people who will attack. But Ouyang was obviously too worried, in order not to alarm the imperial court garrison, Yang Mo brought less than 5,000 people, which was not enough to stuff his teeth, and the battle situation was one-sided.

"Let them go!" The adjutant general shouted and ordered his subordinates to stop the attack, and at dawn, everyone lined up neatly and watched hundreds of people hurrying onto the ship. They were lucky, if Zhong Xiang came, they would all be intercepted and killed. If Zhong Xiang didn't come, someone would have to spread fear.

In this battle, the forbidden army did not die a single person

……

Early in the morning, the momentum of this thousand-person team was completely different, and the heads of all the dead rebels were cut off and placed in the car. These people ate right by the car and didn't feel sick at all. Ouyang couldn't stand it, he and Mei Niang had dinner in the restaurant. Today, Ouyang personally cooked and made a nutritious breakfast.

Mei Niang was a little reluctant to ask: "Where are you going?" ”

"Enough people have died." Ou Ping took a bite of scrambled eggs and said: "They won't die in vain, they will use their heads to break Yuezhou and Tanzhou along the way." ”

"Report!" Several soldiers escorted a man to the restaurant: "This person is Yang Yang, the leader of the two thieves." ”

Ouyang asked, "Not cooperative?" ”

"Not cooperative."

Ouyang grabbed Yang Mo's hair and pulled it up to see, well, he is a silent man, and the muscles on his body are very strong. Last night, as soon as he showed up, he was recognized, and was finally captured alive by a soldier. He is strong, the forbidden army is even stronger, amateur to professional, always loses a few percent.

Ouyang wiped his hands clean, continued to eat, and after eating a few bites, he said, "Yang, I don't admire you at all if you are not afraid of death." The 1,000 people here are not afraid of death. It's just that they are serving the country, and you are the one who is in trouble. You keep saying that you are all over the world, but even you yourself have hidden gold and silver, and you are no different from national sinners. ”

"It's in your hands, you can say whatever you want." Yang Mo gritted his teeth: "Becoming a king and defeating a king." ”

"I've heard that a lot." Ouyang Dao: "I never force others, men and women are the same. Since you are not willing to cooperate, I will let you go. ”

"Let me go?" Yang Mo was surprised.

"Zhuge Liang captured Meng Shu seven times, I believe my sincerity can move you." Ouyang laughed and said, "It's not just you, I'll let you go if I arrest more than a dozen of your subordinates." ”

"Why?"

"No why, I'm happy I'm happy." Ouyang waved his hand: "Find them a boat and tell them to get out." ”

"Yes!"

Mei Niang was also very surprised, this was none other than the second leader of the family. Even if you don't kill, you can't just let it go. Not to mention letting the tiger return to the mountain, he also lost the opportunity to be promoted. Mei Niang asked curiously: "Wrongdoer, do you really let them go?" ”

"Yes!"

"Why?"

"No why." Ouyang scrambled eggs said, "Open your mouth." ”

Mei Niang is not stupid, this mouth means to shut up. Mei Niang smiled and opened her thin lips lightly, and let Ouyang feed her mouth.

……

Yang Mo didn't really believe that Ouyang really let him go until the boat was far away. But the more I thought about it, the more I wondered, and asked the person who was also contemplating in the cabin: "Huang Zuo, what do you think?" ”

Huang Zuo smiled bitterly: "I think it's a knife to kill people." ”

"Whose knife to borrow?"

"Great Heavenly Sage."

"How do I borrow it?"

Huang Zuo said: "Will you believe that Ouyang let us go?" ”

"I don't believe it."

"The Great Heavenly Sage naturally doesn't believe in it either." Huang Zuo said: "Five thousand people, most of them were annihilated. On the contrary, the leader was safe and sound. It's a provocative ploy. Even if you tell the truth, how much will the Great Heavenly Sage believe you? ”

Yang Mo was silent for a while and then said, "Even if I don't believe it, I can't." ”

"Haven't you seen the poison plan yet?" Huang Zuo said: "Does the Great Heavenly Sage kill you?" Do not kill, internal taboos, mutual suspicion. Killing will inevitably lead to the dissatisfaction of tens of thousands of brothers who follow Mo Lang in Xia Cheng and Liu Heng. "Xia Cheng and Liu Heng are the territory operated by Yang Mo, and the terrain is dangerous, and Yang Mo has supported it for six years in the extermination of the Song army by virtue of this terrain in history. In the end, there were four traitors inside, and they were dealt with.

Yang Mo suddenly realized that Ouyang was afraid that after his death, Zhong Xiang would swallow up his own power and grow. Yang Mo asked, "What now?" ”

"Now...... We can't go back to Dingzhou, otherwise Mo Lang and the Great Heavenly Sage will have a dispute sooner or later. Huang Zuo said: "Mo Lang, you see, no matter what the Great Heavenly Sage does with you, it will cause trouble. ”

Indeed, even if Zhong Xiang believed it, the people around Zhong Xiang didn't believe it. Then the situation will be more confusing. Yang Mo said: "I can judge my own ambition in front of the Great Heavenly Sage." ”

"Haha, that's not self-determination, it's the Great Heavenly Sage who forced you to death." The brothers in the village would not have agreed.

"What can you do?"

"Yes!" Huang Zuo said: "Mo Lang, you don't go to Dingzhou, go back to Xia Cheng and Liu Heng directly." ”

"Ah, so?"

"Don't worry, listen to me. If you don't go to Dingzhou, the Great Heavenly Sage will be suspicious, but if you go, you will be suspicious. It's better to have a clear mind. Huang Zuo said: "Mo Lang, you stay in Liangzhai, and the Great Heavenly Saint doesn't dare to touch you." Then you will find an opportunity to catch Song Jun off guard, and then go to Dingzhou to ask for guilt after making a great contribution. The Great Heavenly Sage will no longer doubt you. ”

Yang Mo pondered: "This ......"

"Mo Lang, you see, Song is now sending the most elite forbidden army. Liu Qi led the way. Who is Liu Qi? It is the one who kills more people than we have seen. Fight head-on, and we can't beat them together. If you don't return to the village, the brothers are likely to have a frontal fight with Liu Jiajun. ”

Yang Mo had actually thought of this possibility. Under Zhong Xiang's suspicions, he was likely to send himself to attack the Song army and take a stand. But those who have not experienced it will not know that yesterday was not a war at all, but ***. The forbidden army has strict orders, fearless of life and death, has experience in big battles, and has more powerful weapons, which they simply cannot fight.

"Mo Lang, we can't do these people on land. If you can get to the water, you can be thoughtful. Huang Zuo said: "If Mo Lang is really for the good of his brothers, he should know what to do." ”

Yang Mo nodded, pondered for a while, and then ordered: "Go to Xia Cheng." ”

……

"How do I know I can sow discord with them?" Ouyang replied to the lieutenant general's words with a smile: "I don't know, but there are only benefits and no disadvantages in letting Yang go." The first advantage is to avoid Zhong Xiang swallowing Yang Mo's men and horses, and lead together. The second advantage is that it is possible to create internal discord among them. Advantage three, Yang Mo is released as a prisoner, and his prestige will be discounted. Fourth, we do not dare to confront us again on land to avoid fearless casualties. ”

The deputy general said: "My lord, Yang Mo is proficient in water warfare, will he let the tiger return to the mountain?" ”

"Don't worry, he'll die when it's time to die." Ouyang Dao: "Our task is to clean up the thieves on the land and avoid harming the people again." As for the water village, there are naturally experts to solve it. ”

"Expert?"

"Well, the 10,000 people of Song Jiang on Yongxing Military Road have been drawn out and are on their way to Dongting Lake." Ouyang Dao: "These people have been playing with water since the water, and the thirty-six leaders all have unique skills. They haven't been able to use their strength in the north, so it's good to let them play in the water. Train the soldiers, make some military achievements, and go back to be promoted in the future. "The war in the north of the Song Dynasty has not been moving, and the main reason is that there is no general who can control the Dihe River. The imperial court was not worried about Song Jiang, who was in charge of such an important lifeline, one was ability, and the other was trust. Ouyang planned to let them come to Dongting Lake to make some contributions and take over the Dihe River in the name of justice.

Once the land route is cleared, it will be difficult for the people in the water to maintain a large size. But you can't be dismissed, right? What if you don't several? Everyone tightened their belts. If you go on like this, you will be self-defeating. Ouyang hoped to exchange the smallest casualties for the greatest victory.

"It's here!" The lieutenant looked at the city in the distance. This is the third county of Yuezhou, the occupied county seat. The deputy general introduced: "According to intelligence, after this county, there is a place where thieves are rampant. ”

Battle formation, a thousand cavalry leading the horse. When I arrived at the three counties, the city gate was closed, and there was a Chu flag fluttering at the head of the city, but I couldn't see a defender of the city. The adjutant general waved his hand, and the two soldiers dragged a bag of explosives straight to the city gate. No one fired arrows, and no one attacked. After the explosives bag was placed, the fuse was lit and the two soldiers withdrew.

With a 'boom', the city gate was blown open. One squad attacked, regardless of the situation inside the gate, and began to climb the city walls, while the other squad went straight into the city. The rest of the soldiers were ready to go. After a while, the city gave a signal: there were no enemies in the city.

The adjutant general ordered: "Three hundred people scattered and searched within a radius of twenty miles, set up a scout station, and the others entered the city to defend." ”

……

Liu Qi's headquarters will arrive in two days, and Ouyang will march in as the vanguard. After occupying the three counties, Ouyang stayed behind, and the deputy general led 500 men to continue to reconnoiter the enemy. There are still a lot of residents in the city, but it can be seen that life is not very good. The two most basic shops, salt and rice, have been looted and have run out of stock. Some residents have fled the county. Ouyang found some information in the county office. There are measures for the management of the internal affairs of the mutual gangs. Rather pale and weak. The main reason is that, in the spirit of the Mutual Aid Society, no one dares to do even a small business. The rice used by the county residents was all drawn from the countryside, and then the rice was decimaled on the condition of joining the mutual aid association. Yugengqiao's status in the mutual aid association is relatively high, and Ouyang was furious when he visited the past, and the number of literate people in the county was only in single digits. After inquiring, I found that all the Confucian scholars, Taoist priests, and monks were all killed, which was quite inhumane. The requirement of the mutual aid association is a hall of words, and no additional *** speech or religious speech is allowed. Zhong Xiang***.

The deputy will report: "My lord, I have made inquiries clearly. There were more than 10,000 puppet Chu troops here, and they all ran out last night. The combat effectiveness is very low, and half of them do not even have a sword. Many of them are young people who have been recruited locally temporarily. It is estimated that many of the local puppet Chu troops did not leave, but went home. ”

"Let people shout from street to street, saying that they are not guilty of the past, and in three days, a porridge factory will be opened and grain will be distributed. Whoever is killed. Ouyang thought about it and said, "To add, the forbidden army has recruited spies who can penetrate the pseudo-Chu with heavy money. ”

"My lord, this trick is not so public, is it?"

"The general is too careful, what kind of spies are recruited. It is to make them dare not accept the people of the three counties in the future. People in the three counties will have to join the mutual aid association in the future, and the salary will not be high. ”

"Humble duty understands." The adjutant general admired in his heart, a sentence may cut off the source of troops existing in the three counties, not to mention the situation of the people in the three counties within the thief, I am afraid that the situation of the people in the three counties is relatively bad.

"In the past few days, the county has not yet put anything in place. The squires and merchants were also killed by them, and there were no influential people out of town. Some people who are not dead in their hearts are afraid that they will make a mess. ”

The adjutant general asked: "Do you want to humble yourself and not set off for the time being?" ”

"No, five hundred people are enough." Ouyang said: "There are scouts on all sides, and General Liu is coming again, there will be nothing wrong." ”

……

No, there are quite a few people who recruit spies. Many people show that they were once members of mutual aid societies as soon as they arrive at the Yamen, and it is too easy to break into them. Ouyang was not stingy, and sent one person with 500 Wen first, and then promised another ten heavy rewards.

Western Xia began to be fully developed, and Ouyang's title deed had been resold to merchants, so there was naturally more money. If you have more money, you have to spend it. In one afternoon, a total of 200 spies were recruited, and it cost 100 times. Ouyang sighed, in Yangping, he could only have a good meal in Jinzun for a hundred times.

Others are recruiting, but Ouyang is recruiting spies on a large scale. Not only recruited in the three counties, but as long as you can prove that you have been mixed in the mutual aid association, you can join. Knives, guns, weapons, intelligence, heads, boats, and even Zhong Xiang's eighteenth wife. All goods are clearly priced, with pictures, words and truth. The price indicates that Zhong Xiang's wife has 20 heads, Zhong Xiang's children's heads are 30 times, and the live ones add five times. Boats with less than 10 people are 5 times, and more than 8 people are from 8 to 50 times.

Thirty times for a horse, six times for a knife...... Not only are spies recruited, but all people who have supplies from the mutual aid society are welcome to apply. Posters are posted everywhere, and explanations are posted in every county, township, and village. For a time, the number of people in enemy-occupied areas who signed up to join mutual aid associations skyrocketed.
