If you want to add to the crime, Xie Qian knew what Yao Gu and the Zhe family were planning, and sighed: "Yang Zhixi's army is only eight thousand, and the number of Zhang Suo is probably even less, and the main force of Taiyuan is still there, which is the effect of elite soldiers." My lord, if we join forces with the adults, we will gain more. ”

Xie Qian did not approve of the sneak attack on Taiyuan, and was about to continue to persuade him, Yao Gu suddenly smiled and said: "I have come to guard Hedong by the emperor's order, and I will never lose the people and go away, you can rest assured." I have already made the situation clear to the saints, everything is waiting for the will of Bianliang, as for the seed master, Bianliang has sent the Privy Council Governor Xu Han to supervise the war, according to the information obtained by the Daimyofu, the Jin people started the war because Zhan Du, Zhang Xiaochun and others did not act according to the will of the imperial court, since they have occupied Zhending, they will retreat north after going south to loot. ”

Yao Gu's implication is that the division said that the war was too pessimistic, and he was singing and harmonizing with the Dingbei Army, and Bianliang should have made a conclusion, otherwise Yao Gu would not use the word "supervising the war"; ”

Zhi Yan was sent to the gate, Zhi Kefu looked at the left and right of the Zhi family, and said in a low voice: "Yan Zhi, I will go to Guanzhong in two days after I arrive in Bianliang, and I will not leave Chang'an in the future; ”

Zhi Yanzhi immediately understood that Zhi Kefu made a special trip to Luzhou, in fact, to say this sentence to himself, afraid that he would have an accident on the battlefield, a warm current surged into his heart, and Zhi Yanzhi nodded and said: "Uncle, don't worry, even if you can't get out, I will send someone to send you a letter." ”

Jincheng was originally a medium-sized city in the clouds, sandwiched between the two big cities of Datong and Taiyuan, and had no potential for development at all, but in the past two years, a large number of new buildings and shops have been built in the city, and it is about to be overcrowded. Because the Dingbei army did not cut off the trade between the north and the south, even if the war continued, the caravans of Youzhou and Jincheng still came and went with each other, especially when I heard that the Dingbei army occupied the Hetao, and countless salt sellers crowded in Jincheng, making the market look more lively than in the Taiping period.

The business of the fish and sheep fresh wine store is so good that it is eye-catching, almost from the sun comes out to open the door, until the middle of the night from closing, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a daily income. Everyone knows that the proprietor of this liquor store is Yang Zhi, the manager of Yunzhong, and next door to the liquor store is Yang Zhi's newly opened pawnshop, which specializes in collecting real money, silver and valuables; a small vendor came to the pawnshop counter, took out a gray cloth bag and asked the account office behind the counter: "Is the shopkeeper there?"

The bookkeeper glanced at the vendor, stretched out his hand and opened the bag diligently, and when he saw the things inside, he immediately opened his mouth wide, and said a word, wait, and went to the back to call the shopkeeper Kou Yi. Kou Yi came over to see that it was the original two general gold seals of the Liao State, the real gold seals made of gold, Kou Yi took the gold seal in his hand, looked at the seal and asked, "Whose seal is this?"

"The seal of the King of Jin, Yelu Ao, which was cast when he was named the Han family, is the private seal of the King of Jin, poor King Jin died unjustly, the Great Liao was destroyed, the blue sea and blue sky made people angry and rushed to the crown, and wanted to sing a song full of Jianghong. The vendor talked well, and when Kou heard all three code words such as "blue sea and blue sky", he pretended to be impatient and said: "Don't talk useless, if you want to talk about business, go to the living room for a cup of tea, otherwise you will leave with your things." ”

The bookkeeper smiled secretly, this shopkeeper looked young, but he was ruthless and decisive in business; the trader was embarrassed for a while, it seemed that he really had no choice, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, look at the shopkeeper's hospitality, you have the final say." "Zilang literature

The two sat down in the living room, and the man had just made a pot of tea, and was pouring tea, when the bookkeeper said the price, sixty taels of silver; the bookkeeper knew very well that the vendor was not a local, and there were very few opportunities to redeem the pawn ticket, so he kept the price to the lowest. The vendor hurriedly said, "It's too little, one hundred taels." ”

Kou Yi stopped the vendor, motioned for the account office to go back to the counter first, turned his head and asked, "Are you from Shangjing or Youzhou?"

"Jizhou, what do you say?" the vendor replied with the code, and he had a bottom in his heart, the shopkeeper was the person who connected him, and he didn't need to go to the governor's mansion by himself. Kou Yi sighed and said: "The thing is really good, so let's add twenty taels of silver to you, and I will invite you to eat in the fish and sheep fresh, Yellow River carp, steamed lamb, and a bottle of agar wine transported from Bianliang." ”

"I'm going to eat sheep scorpions, dogwood base. ”

"Deal. ”

When the two of them finished the code and pretended to shake hands with the business, a roll of paper quietly slipped into Kou Yi's sleeve; Kou Yi shouted to the account office to write the pawn ticket, the merchant took eighty taels of silver, and followed the pawnshop guy to eat fish and sheep next door, and Kou Yi went back to his room to see the news from Datong.

Intelligence shows that although Wan Yan Gao's guards are in Datong Mansion, they are not the same as before, and sometimes they go to the hotel outside to drink some wine. Wan Yan Gao is very strict in governing the army, completely abiding by the rules of Jin Taizu Wan Yan Agu, not allowing himself and his subordinates to drink casually, it turns out that Wan Yan Gao's guards never drink outside, and now they come out at two ends in almost three days, and Wan Yan Gao's mount is not in the yamen, Wan Yan Gao has not appeared in Datong City for more than ten days, and the person who transmitted the information only said one conclusion, Wan Yan Gao is not there.

This also explains why when Yang Zhi entered the Hetao, the Jin army did not react at all, and did not even make a slight tentative move, just because the main general was not there, so the intelligence network was activated over there to pass on the news. The visitor was very careful, and in order to facilitate Kou Yi to contact him, he said that he lived in Jincheng at the Chengdong Inn and stayed for three days; this was the first time that Kou Yi received information from Datong, and he did not dare to slack off, so Kou Yi quickly handed over the information to Zhu Wu.

Zhu Wu was shocked when he got the news, Zhu Wu thought that the answer sent by Kou Yi was true, and Wan Yan Gao made another big move, and immediately notified Yang Zhi, who had returned to Shuozhou. Jin Guo wanted to curb the strength of Western Xia in Hetao, and it was understandable that he would not send troops at first, but when Yang Zhi had not yet taken action to defeat Yinzhou Jin State, Yang Zhi had already begun to mumble, and Zhu Wu mentioned it many times in correspondence.

Yang Zhi rushed back to Jincheng overnight after receiving the news, and asked Kou Yi to find the person who spread the news, and he needed to confirm the number of Jin troops in Datong, and inform all the people in Taihang Mountain to pay attention to whether there was a Jin army quietly going south. Yang Zhi asked Zhang San and Zhu Wu about the situation of Jin Jun's southward movement this time, both of them had their own intelligence networks, and Yang Zhi needed to confirm the authenticity. According to the summary of intelligence from several aspects, Wanyan Zongfu, Wanyan Yandu, Guo Yaoshi, and Liu Yanzong mobilized a total of 200,000 troops.
