Fenghou

Wanyan Wushu turned his cold eyes to Zhang Zhongfu, "Is that so?"

"This one……"

Zhang Zhongfu yelled inwardly that something was wrong, the fourth prince obviously had the tendency to shield Zheng Ping, he hesitated for a while before he said hesitantly: "It is true that he is from my hometown, but he is not my personal soldier, and I will never shield him, maybe He doesn't know much about military rules, but Zheng Tongzhi's way of killing people with a knife is really disgusting!"

Wanyan Wushu is also a soldier, how could he not understand the problems involved, if there is no one to support him, how could he not be able to deal with the following offenders.

"Okay! That's the end of this matter."

Wanyan Wushu glared at Zhang Zhongfu dissatisfied, and said, "Zhang Dutong should focus on arresting spies and besieging Chen Qing! A certain family gave you three days, half of it has passed now, what will you do by then?" Explain to someone?"

Zhang Zhongfu's back was covered with sweat, and he didn't dare to say anything.

Wanyan Wushu glared at Zheng Ping again and said, "How do you know that there are secret whistles ambush in the granary?"

Zheng Ping rolled his eyes, this might be an opportunity to get rid of the secret whistle.

"Reporting to Commander, this is not a secret. Many soldiers know about it. It has already been spread to the lower levels, but the higher ups don't know about it."

"Do all the soldiers below know?"

Wanyan Wushu was stunned, if these secret whistles were already an open secret, then what's the point of deploying them?

You must know that this kind of secret sentry is a double-edged sword. It shoots the enemy, but it also shoots its own people. A few days ago, an aide was engaged in an inventory of the arsenal, but he was also shot by the secret sentry, especially at night. In fact, the secret whistle couldn't tell the difference between the Jurchens and the Han people, and they all shot and killed them.

"You step back!"

Wanyan Wushu waved his hand impatiently, making the two retreat.

Wanyan Wushu walked a few steps inside the big tent with his hands behind his back, feeling really annoyed, where are the Song army spies hiding?Chen Qing is actually active in the periphery, this person is very courageous, Wanyan Wushu is really afraid that he will do something.

There is also the matter of the secret whistle, if it weren't for the death of Wang Jianzhi, I really didn't know that the secret whistle of the granary had already become an open secret.

I wanted to kill a thousand by mistake, and never let a single person go, what about now?Even if you kill ten thousand by mistake, you can't kill an enemy. What's the use of such a secret whistle?

Wanyan Wushu hesitated for a long time, finally sighed and said: "Pass my order, the secret whistle of the granary camp will be withdrawn!"

……

Walking out of the Jurchen camp, Zhang Zhongfu glared at Zheng Ping angrily, "Don't think that you can be arrogant because the commander is protecting you, you bastard will fall into my hands sooner or later."

Zheng Ping said with a smile: "You old man, you should think about how to deal with the backstabbing!"

Zhang Zhongfu was taken aback, "What backstabbing?"

"I heard that the news of the spies came from a letter that the Jurchens picked up while patrolling, isn't that right!"

"That's right! So what?"

"Don't you all think it's weird? Those who know about Chen Qing are at least the high-level Song army! If the high-level Song army wanted to betray Chen Qing, they would have betrayed Dashanguan long ago, and he wouldn't send someone to secretly deliver the letter? Wan Didn’t the Jurchen patrol find this letter?”

"It's a bit strange to say that, so what do you mean?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Zheng Ping stepped forward and said in a low voice, "What if this letter was not sent by Da Sanguan, but by our own people?"

Zhang Zhongfu suddenly understood a little bit, someone pretended to be Song Jun's archery letter, and made fun of himself behind his back.

"go on!"

"Who will be the biggest beneficiary if the governor fails to complete the task and is dismissed?"

Zhang Zhongfu narrowed his eyes, "You mean Zhang Linghui?"

Zhang Linghui is the deputy capital commander and a member of Wanyanchang. He is relatively silent and cold in the army.

When Zheng Ping hinted, Zhang Zhongfu immediately thought of this person.

"I didn't say anything, I just chatted with Dutong, please don't think about it, I will leave."

Zheng Ping laughed, turned around and patted his ass and left, leaving Zhang Zhongfu in the messy wind.

He feared that the world would not be chaotic, and fanned the flames everywhere.

Although Zheng Ping's current risk has been lifted, he knows in his heart that the letter is genuine, and there must be something wrong inside Dashan Pass, and he must report this matter to Chen Qing immediately.

Zheng Ping found Wang Hao, the head of the capital, and whispered a few words to him. Wang Hao left the barracks that day and rode to Wucheng Town on horseback.

……

Wucheng Town is located between Baoji County and Guo County, on the north bank of the Weihe River. The Sishui from Longzhou flows into the Weihe River here. The water and land transportation is very convenient. Wucheng Town has developed commerce since ancient times and has always been an important business town in Guanzhong.

However, after the Jin soldiers attacked the Song Dynasty aggressively, this place also suffered from the destruction of the war and became very withered. There were less than a hundred households left in the big town with more than a thousand households. Come to life.

That afternoon, a caravan of more than ten people came from the north and stayed in the only inn still in operation in the town, Wucheng Inn.

"The guest officer is here to sell medicinal materials!" The shopkeeper said casually while registering.

"How does the shopkeeper know that I sell medicinal materials?" the businessman asked with a smile.

"Now it's only safer to sell medicinal materials, nothing else."

Jin Bing hoarded a lot of supplies to prepare for the war, but there was only a shortage of medicinal materials, Wanyan Wushu issued a strict order, as long as the caravans that come to Fengxiang to sell medicinal materials, they will be exempted from tax, and Jin Bing's harassment is strictly prohibited.

Herb merchants from all over Shanxi Road sensed business opportunities and rushed to Fengxiang one after another. The shopkeeper of the inn received a lot, so of course he knew.

"We came from the same state. I have a companion who came first and made an appointment to meet you at your inn. I wonder if he has come?"

"What's your companion's name?"

"It's called Wu Xin, hard-working Xin."

The shopkeeper flipped through the register, "There is such a person who came the afternoon before yesterday and lives in the easternmost room on the second floor. I'll ask the guy to take you there."

"No need, I'll go by myself, and the shopkeeper will arrange the room for us."

The leader of the caravan came to the eastmost room on the second floor, knocked on the door, and the door opened. Inside was Wang Hao, Zheng Ping's subordinate.

When he saw the leader of the businessman, he was stunned for a moment. After closing the door, he immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted, "Humble Wang Hao, see the leader!"

The drug seller was none other than Chen Qing in disguise.

Chen Qing led his men to enter Guanzhong along the Qianshui River. People on both sides of the Qianshui River could not leave in spring and summer, but in winter, when the river froze, they could walk on the Qianshui River and go all the way into Guanzhong.

They were all hilly and mountainous along the way, and if they didn't meet the Jin soldiers, the Song army hid in a hilly depression about [-] miles north of Wucheng Town.

Wucheng Inn is where Chen Qing and Zheng Ping agreed to meet. Chen Qing was really worried about Zheng Ping, so he came to Wucheng Town disguised as a drug dealer.

Chen Qing sat down and asked Wang Hao, "How is General Zheng?"

Wang Hao smiled wryly, "Perhaps the commander didn't expect that General Zheng has now been promoted to the commander of the Confederate Army, and he has 5000 people under his command."

Chen Qing blinked and asked in surprise, "Why?"

"General Zheng was appreciated by Wanyan Wushu, and he was promoted to control in an extraordinary way."

Wang Hao then talked about the fact that Zheng Ping's pulling the boat was appreciated by Wanyan Wushu and promoted to be in charge.

Chen Qing couldn't help laughing, "Fatty Zheng didn't have such good luck in the Song Army, and now he leads 5000 people. It seems that I have wronged him."

"Report to the Commander, I have a major matter to report to the Commander."

Wang Hao then reported in detail the fact that someone leaked that Zheng Ping was hiding in the enemy army and that Chen Qing's army was on the outskirts.

Chen Qing's face suddenly became very serious.

Chapter 149 Tracing

This time Chen Qing and Zheng Ping met to find an opportunity to attack the Jinbing camp, but judging from the current situation, the camp is guarded by a heavy Jinbing army, and the timing is obviously immature. A rash attack at this time will not only fail to achieve the goal , It will also destroy Zheng Ping's hard-won achievements.

Now I have to lurk, wait patiently for the opportunity, and when Jin Bing relaxes his defenses, he will bite the opponent hard and give them a fatal blow.

Chen Qing immediately made a decision. He paid a lot of money to buy the Wucheng Inn, and replaced the shopkeeper and staff with his subordinates. As a long-term contact, he immediately returned to the army's hiding place.

The [-] Qinzhou troops were hiding in a valley about [-] miles north of Wucheng Town. There used to be a small village here, but after the Jin soldiers came, the village was completely abandoned and burned to the ground. It was so desolate that even hunters and herb gatherers could not see it.

In a marching tent, Chen Qing called several important generals to discuss the next move.

"Now Song and Jin are in a state of confrontation, and the cold winter is approaching. It is estimated that the war will continue until next spring. Now that the Jin army camp is heavily guarded, we basically have no chance. We will only find opportunities when the war breaks out."

"Does the commander want to return to Immortal Pass temporarily?" Yang Zaixing asked with a smile.

"Now we have three options. Let's discuss it. The first option is to return to Pingliang Mansion, but I don't think it is wise. If you want to find a place to nest, it is really better to return to Xianrenguan, so the second option is General Yang said to return to Immortal Pass!"

Chen Qing glanced at the crowd. Seeing that Yang Yuanqing hesitated to speak, he asked with a smile, "What does Yuanqing think?"

Yang Yuanqing smiled wryly and said, "I think it's better to go to Linyou County if I go back to Immortal Pass."

Chen Qing shook his head, "Linyou County is a blind spot. Once we are accused, tens of thousands of Jin soldiers will come to encircle us. Even if we flee through the mountains to Jingyuan Road, we will not be able to take our war horses with us. The loss is too great. gone."

"The Commander is right. Going to Linyou County is indeed not the best policy. Does the Commander mean to return to Immortal Pass?"

Chen Qing still shook his head, "Actually, we still have a third choice, to go to Jingzhao Mansion!"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and everyone immediately understood that this was the commander's real idea. He didn't want to go back to the immortal Guan Wodong. The commander wanted to find the enemy's weakness and turn Guanzhong upside down.

At night, Chen Qing stood on a high place and looked towards the direction of Dashanguan in the south. There was a mole in Dashanguan. He had a hunch that the mole was Fu Moshan, but he had no proof.

If Fu Moshan didn't know the secret, then there might be someone else. After all, in history, many generals under Wu Jie wanted to surrender to the Jin soldiers, and not everyone was as loyal as Wu Jie to serve the country.

At this time, Yang Yuanqing walked forward slowly, stood beside Chen Qing and said with a smile: "The commander also knows that when the heavy snow comes, Jin soldiers will not be able to go to Linyou County. In fact, Linyou County is still very safe."

"I know!"

Chen Qing sighed softly, "I actually don't know how to face the elders and folks in Linyou County. More than 1000 children were entrusted to me, and most of them died in the battle at Jiandao Pass. I, Chen Qing, have no hair loss and have been promoted As an official, Yuan Qing, I really have no face to go back to Linyou County!"

"I guess that's why."

Yang Yuanqing was silent for a moment, and said with shame: "I really shouldn't have told Liu Dutong about Zheng Ping, and the commander really got what he said."

Chen Qing patted Yang Yuanqing on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Fatty Zheng is very lucky. You see, he is now under the rule of the Golden Army, and he is older than my official. Don't worry about him, he is smart! Nothing will happen. "

"The system thinks it's really Fu Moshan?"

"I'm not sure, but I have a hunch that it's him. In fact, what I'm most worried about is not the matter of him betraying me and Zheng Ping. I'm worried that he will betray Dasanguan. We must plan ahead for this matter. I ask Wu Jie to make things clear. Find out, even if you can't find any evidence, you should send Fu Moshan away, and you can't be sloppy."

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "I now understand why commanders seldom fail. It is the four words that commanders say 'plan ahead'. If commanders eliminate all hidden dangers in advance, major incidents will not happen."

Chen Qing shook his head with a smile, "Don't talk about me like that, many things are unexpected, and many times, a small temporary incident will cause us to fail. It's just that my luck is not bad."

Yang Yuanqing did not agree with Chen Qing's theory of luck. He said lightly: "Everything that has an effect must have a cause. If the commander puts things ahead, if most of the causes are eliminated, there will naturally be no fruit."

"If thinking like that gives you confidence, go ahead and think about it!"

Chen Qing laughed, and went back to the tent to rest. His voice came from a distance, "Stop chatting, you guys, go to bed early, and set off at five o'clock tomorrow!"

Before leaving the next day, Chen Qing sent an eagle letter to Liu Ziyu in Xianrenguan, and the army set off immediately, rushing towards Jingzhao Mansion.

……

On the second day after Chen Qing left, two letter eagles flew from Immortal Pass to Dashan Pass.

Liu Ziyu sent two pigeon letters one after another, one was Chen Qing's original letter, and the other was Liu Ziyu's letter.

Chen Qing's letter caused an uproar among the senior management of Dashan Pass.

In the meeting hall, Wu Jie knocked on the table angrily, his eyes were extremely sharp.

"It's unbelievable that someone among us actually had an affair with Jin Bing, and even leaked the secret to Jin Bing by sending arrow letters. Then next time, should we hand over the Dasan Pass to Jin Bing!"

"Dutong, what happened?" Wu Ling couldn't help asking.

Wu Jie restrained his anger and said to the crowd: "Liu Ziyu forwarded Chen Qing's urgent letter. Some of us fired arrow letters at the Jinbing patrol outside the city, leaking the secrets of Zheng Ping's sneaking into the Jinying camp and Chen Qing's activities outside the city." Jin Bing was killed, now Zheng Ping and Chen Qing are in a very critical situation, Liu Ziyu is extremely angry, and scolded us for betrayal, I want to know, who did this?"

These words made all the generals present look at each other in blank dismay, Liu Kai said in shock: "There is still such a thing, do they all think we did it?"

Wu Jie turned his gaze to Fu Xuan, and said in a chilly voice: "Only the few of us know this secret. If it wasn't done by the five of us, then we must have leaked it to others. I remember I told everyone repeatedly, This secret must never be revealed."

Fu Xuan asked nervously, "What day did this happen?"

"On the night of the fifth day, who was on duty that night?"

Fu Xuan's face became even more ugly, "My army was on duty that night."

"Old Fu, go back and check the situation on duty carefully!"

Wu Jie looked at everyone sharply, "The consequences of this matter are very serious. If the leaker is not dealt with before tonight, I will explain the situation to the Procuratorate tomorrow. Everyone should know what the consequences will be?"

……

Fu Xuan felt as if a boulder had been crushed in his heart. He walked back to his camp like a gust of wind, and immediately ordered his soldiers, "Go and find me Fu Moshan immediately!"

He remembered the vicious and stupid advice Fu Moshan had given him back then, pretending to have lost the Dasan Pass and letting Chen Qing take responsibility.

Fu Xuan became more and more suspicious that it was Fu Moshan's letter to Jin Bing. The key was that Fu Moshan knew about it. That day, he scolded Fu Moshan for only knowing about drinking and playing with women all day long, and accidentally told about Chen Qing and Zheng Ping.

"Although Zheng Ping also drinks and sexes with prostitutes, he can do great things. He is now leading two hundred men to lurk in the gold camp. Do you have the guts?" '
