Late at night, in the west corner of the city of Bianliang, the side room of the backyard of Baifu Mixing on Yonglinfang, there was a light like beans, and the halo was dim, reflected on the paper window. In addition to the light, there was also a thin figure.

The figure wanders, with his head hanging down and his hands behind his back, looking worried.

Old Yutou, who was at night in the rice shop, had already come outside the door with a lantern and urged him several times, but the people inside the house only said, "I'll wait a moment, and there are still some accounts that have not been cleared."

Old Yu had to shake his head and walk away, and he was puzzled. Deng's account accounts have always been calculated accurately and quickly, and have never been delayed until late tonight as well. Well, two people had come to Deng's account rooms before. After these two people left, Deng's account rooms began to be anxious. Could it be that it is related to this?

Old Yu didn't know a single word, and at least he lived for more than fifty years. His mind was very lively, and he guessed it almost exactly.

That’s right, those who are worried about Deng’s account are not for the turnover, but for the turnover.

Deng's accountant, well, the name Deng Zhao, was a frustrated scholar who failed many times and worked as a Qiangu eyewitness official. Later, because he was angry that the government was tampered with the slaughter of the government and said a few words of hard work, he was promoted to the head of the Tokyo Intelligence Team. However, Deng Zhao is no longer the same now. Because his intelligence work is quite good, he has been recognized and commended by the military leader and has been promoted to the head of the Tokyo Intelligence Team.

There is no need to fight or struggle. There is enough funds and living expenses to live a peaceful life in the bustling city and occasionally a little exciting life. Deng Zhao was very satisfied. He just wanted to do the "inquiry" work well, organize it into a book every month, and submit it to the Information Department. Then, live like an ordinary Tokyoite - this is what his wife asked him on the road to Beizhuo before his death: live well, whether it is a human or a slave, or whether it is in Tokyo or in Beijing.

Deng Zhao's wife is his cousin, and they are childhood sweethearts. He listens to his wife's words whether before and after marriage. In modern times, Deng Zhao is a qualified and good husband. Deng Zhao dare not disobey his wife's last words - fortunately, he did not have to be a slave, nor was he taken to Shangjing. As a person, he returned to Tokyo.

Deng Zhao had never re-listened his strings. What accompanied him was a volume of Buddhist scriptures, which he had to recite every night to pass on for his wife and children. But tonight, he did not recite the scriptures, and all his thoughts were disrupted by a piece of information delivered half an hour ago.

Something big happened!

The information was issued by the former army of the left-behind officer stationed in Heyin and the two deputy commanders: Du Chong secretly ordered the Yellow River to be decided!

Deng Zhao was not from Liangshan, nor was he a member of the Liangshan Navy, but he was a scholar. The so-called "a scholar who did not go out can know the affairs of the world." Deng Zhao was considered half a scholar, and he could not know the affairs of the world, but he clearly understood the affairs of the Yellow River a hundred miles away, on the banks of Huazhou and the Yellow River.

What will happen if Li Gudu digs out? Floods and beasts are not enough to describe what if. In addition to the sixteen counties of Kaifeng Prefecture, the people have almost nowhere to escape except for the troops evacuated in advance. Will Du Chong notify the people to evacuate in advance? It is impossible! The news came out, not only will the people raise opposition, but the Jin army will also immediately send troops to stop it. Even the battle to cross the river in advance...

Deng Zhao was not a general, and he was not even a soldier. He didn't know what kind of military strategy to win. But what kind of "strategy" is to harm others but not to benefit oneself, to the anger of heaven and resentment of others, to the point of thousands of men, to the devil for thousands of years... He could see clearly and think clearly with the conscience of an ordinary person.

The Jin army crossed the south. The Central Plains were filled with wolf smoke, and the people were facing a catastrophe again. Du Chong's move seemed to block the enemy. In fact, it was completely aiding the evil and even causing even more disasters.

Wang Gui and Xu Qing passed this important news, and realized the seriousness of the problem, but were unable to solve it. So it seemed that the information was transmitted, but to put it bluntly, it was a disaster to the east and left this big problem to the Tianzhu Army. Although this behavior was a bit unkind, Deng Zhao was still grateful, just because the information was valued.

If it is normal, the Deng Church directly transferred the information to the Liangshan Naval Division branch and asked Commander Zhang and Prefect Ma to jointly put pressure on Du Chong, Du Chong would be afraid; if it doesn't work, send a large army and once again the troops will be powerful in Wanshengmen, which will most likely force Du Chong to stop. However, it is not the problem that the far water can save the near fire, but the Liangshan Naval Division is also facing great pressure. In this extraordinary period, there is no military force to adjust. It is unrealistic to hope for the Liangshan Naval Division.

What to do? It’s not too late. Once Du Chong notices something, the consequences will be unpredictable.

The wick became shorter and shorter, and the light became darker. Deng Zhao grabbed the secret piece and paced back and forth, with an extremely anxious feeling, without any sense of it. The wick finally burned, and the room suddenly fell into darkness.

Cut off the ashes of the lamp, lift the wicks, puff! The lamp blossoms burst lightly and shone on Deng Zhao's sudden dazed face. The blooming lamp blossoms seemed to illuminate his heart. At this moment, he had an enlightenment.

"That's it." Deng Zhao made up a certain determination, stretched his eyebrows, his expression became calm and clear. He gently pressed his hand on the volume of Buddhist scriptures and recited silently: "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? Yun Niang, it's the first and last time for her husband to go against your last wish..."

...

Du Chong has been very annoyed recently. First, he heard his soldiers whispering in a low voice, saying that he would decide the Yellow River. Then some servants went out of the house to shop and whisper when they came back. Some confidant found out and reported that it was rumored by the people in the city. The left-behind ordered Li Gudu to be opened and the water flooded Bianliang City.

When Du Chong heard this, he was furious on the spot. Needless to say, it must be the king. General Xu's second generals were so brave. Just as he was about to order the two generals to be summoned into the city, the guards reported that dozens of students gathered outside the mansion and asked the left behind to come forward to clarify the rumors.

Tai student! Du Chong, who was a civil servant, knew the energy of the Tai students of this dynasty. During the Jingkang period, Tai students encouraged Tokyo citizens to criticize the "Six Thieves" and tried to retain Li Gang, which set off a wave of storms in the court, and even affected the stay and departure of the imperial court. This trend did not stop even in the Jianyan period. Just two months ago, Tai students Chen Dong and Ouyang Che wrote a letter to criticize the current prime minister Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan. They even used the courage of heaven and scolded the officials for not receiving the throne from their father and brother, which was to "uspionage".

This time, the dragon lung tube was really stabbed. The emperor was angry and blood splattered three feet away. Chen Dong and Ouyang Che were abandoned. Although Taizu had a legacy and the scholars were not punished for their words, they should use the sacred dictatorship in times of trouble. Du Chong raised his hand to agree with this. If possible, he really wanted to cut off all the dozens of meddling students outside the mansion... It's a pity that only the emperor has the right to raise the butcher knife. Even if he was a third-rank official, he would never dare to attack these scholars.

If you can't be hard, then you can only be soft. Du Chong bit the bullet and went out of the mansion, put on a friendly attitude, repeatedly "official rumors", claiming that this was a conspiracy of the Jin people and a clumsy plan. He was to mess with the audio-visual and the people in Tokyo, so that the military and civilians in Tokyo would be in chaos without fighting.

This explanation sounds reasonable and logical. The students and some citizens gathered in front of the left-behind mansion slowly dispersed.

Du Chong finally sent away these plague gods, and another person who was not as good as the gathering of students came to visit - Zong Ying.

Although Zong Ying was called the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture, Du Chong turned a blind eye to him and refused to accept anything. In anger, Zong Ying sent him to Daxiangguo Temple to mourn his father and never participated in political affairs. But this time, he had to move.

Last night, when Zong Ying's residence was in Daxiangguo Temple, a guest came to visit. After some secret talks, Zong Ying couldn't sleep all night and came to the left-behind mansion early the next morning. He also saw the scene of the gathering of Tai students and citizens. Du Chong's words were quite convincing to Tai students who lacked political intelligence and the citizens who came to the door to question just because of rumors. But this was not easy to use for Zong Ying. Not to mention that Zong Ying had a deep understanding of Du Chong, just because the source of information was accurate, it was definitely not comparable to rumors on the market.

This time, Du Chong's head became a little bigger. To be honest, Du Chong didn't take Zong Ying seriously. However, you can ignore this guy who doesn't take him seriously, but you can't touch him casually - the Yu Ze and influence of Mr. Zong is in the entire Tokyo. It cannot be underestimated.

Let me put it this way, if Du Chong dares to take advantage of the world and attack a few students, as long as he attacks secretly and refuses to admit it, it may be feasible. But even if he wants to attack Zong Ying, he will not find anyone in Bianliang City to dare to do it.

Therefore, although Du Chong had a headache, he had to take some energy and continue to deal with Zong Ying.

Zong Ying came alone, but it was more difficult to deal with than the hundreds of people outside the mansion before, because the citizens did not know the truth, and would come because of rumors and disperse due to panic. Zong Ying was different. He had a real source of information and had proved that the so-called "rumor" was actually true.

Du Chong is an old official in the officialdom. He knows when to hide and when to reveal it; when to face who should respond to false words and who should speak out directly. Therefore, he admitted very simply: "Only the current plan is to stop the enemy from moving south, and to give up this unscrupulous strategy. Our mansion has submitted a report to the court, and the emperor has also approved the execution. Brother Minzhi, you should pack your bags early and support the Shu to return to the school."

As soon as the emperor's big hat was pressed down, Zong Ying was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Yes, Emperor Jianyan also hopes that the Yellow River will flow and block the Jin army, and try to gain more time as much as possible, so that you can still hunt south calmly. What is your intention? Could it be that you want to trap the emperor in danger? Du Chong does not need to point out these implications. His years of experience as an official in Zong Ying will naturally read them out of the words.

The conversation could not continue, Zong Ying stood up angrily and bowed to leave, leaving only one sentence: "Those who break the Yellow River will dig their own graves."

Du Chong rubbed the teacup in his hand expressionlessly, and after a long time, he tilted his neck and drank it all.

First, the Tai students made trouble with the citizens, and then when Zong Ying came to the door to question the crime, Du Chong felt that Wang Gui and Xu Qing's front army were no longer reliable. He immediately sent Wang Tong to find the left-behind commander of the Right Army and the deputy commander came over to see if he could send the rear army to implement this plan.

Unexpectedly, after a long time, the news brought back by Wang Tong almost caused Du Chong to throw his cup. The two commanders of the Right Army said that they were busy with military affairs and wanted to train military soldiers and prepare for the Jin army, and come to visit later. According to Wang Tong, these two commanders were indeed doing training - but no matter how they looked, they seemed to have just been dispatched. In addition, there was a spy to tell him that Zong Ying had left shortly...

Well, Zong Tong is also exerting his influence... The two commanders of the Right Army did not dare to offend Shangguan or give Zong Ying face, so they simply used the excuse to train and avoid it.

Wang Tong said carefully: "How about you, my subordinates go to the Zuo Army... or the Hou Army?"

"No need." Du Chong waved his hand and asked Wang Tong to go down. Zong Ying would not be idle, but would definitely go to the left army and the back army to persuade him. You Zong Minzhi, see how long you can stay in Tokyo! As long as you leave Tokyo, no matter where you go, the day of goodbye is the time to deal with you! Humph! It's still a short time and you can't completely seize the morale of the army! It's better to use your own people to be reliable.

Du Chong decided to ask Guo Zhongxun for help. The deputy left-behind still had seven or eight hundred people, although they were not elite soldiers (his elite soldiers were annihilated by Di Lie during the Battle of Bian River), and there were many auxiliary soldiers and laborers. However, digging dikes and breaking rivers was not a war, and it didn't matter whether it was a soldier or a civilian, and someone would do it.

The next day, Du Chong was going to visit Guo Zhongxun in person. Asking for someone, of course he had to make a correct attitude, and as Guo Zhongxun's status as a position, he was willing to visit him.

As soon as I left the mansion, I looked up and suddenly stunned. At the end of the long street, there was a crowd of people coming towards the left-behind mansion.

Du Chong's eyelids jumped for a while. Just as he was about to send someone to ask, the guard leader Wang Tong came running in a panic, his expression was like seeing a ghost. He pointed his hand back and stuttered: "Flag...Flag...Flags of the Tianzhu Army..."

Du Chong's body shook, almost turning around, but he still held it back. He shouted: "What a panic? The Tianzhu Navy is hundreds of miles away and is surrounded by the Jin army. He is unable to protect himself. How could he appear here? Are you confused? "Du Chong's words below can't be said, because he also saw the flying bright red flag, the golden six-pointed stars... and the people under the banner.

The flag is not big, and the flagpole is thin. Unlike the regular military flag, it is carried by two young people with a hurried taste. One person in front is about thirty years old, not astonishingly beautiful, holding something in his hands. Behind the three were many citizens watching the fun.

Du Chong was surprised and confused. A familiar family soldier behind him whispered: "The person walking in front is the accountant of Baifu Mi Store in Yonglinfang, and his surname is... Deng. The two behind him are the ones in the left hand of the land temple in the west of the city, but the other one doesn't know. Most of them are porters or servants."

While speaking, the three of them came to see each other with the flag. The guards on both sides drew their swords. The three of them looked at Du Chong calmly. The noisy crowd behind them also quieted down.

Du Chong waved his hand and asked the guards to put away their weapons, but they still stood in front of him, and then said calmly: "Who are you waiting for? What's the matter?"

"The chief of the Second Intelligence Department of the Tianzhu Army, Deng Zhao!" Deng Zhao did not mind the commotion of the crowd around him and the shock and murderous intent of the guards in front of him - Du Chong's eighty guards died too miserably and also formed a deep hatred with the Tianzhu Army.

"Di Lie also left chess pieces." Du Chong snorted coldly, "I'm so bold. Today I'm not afraid that my mansion will send you and others to Taiyuan?"

Deng Zhao appeared today, and he had ambition to die. He said calmly: "My Tianshu City and Tokyo are allies, why did Du Liushou say this?"

Du Chong was speechless, and he almost forgot this. That's right, the two armies were allies, the alliance was signed by themselves, and the seal of the left-behind officials was also stamped. Now is not the time to tear apart...

Du Chong beat him up: "This mansion is just testing the courage of Commander Deng... Not bad! The Tianzhu Army is indeed good at training troops. The three of you are here today, what can you do to see?"

Deng Zhao handed over the things in his hands - a manifesto.

Du Chong looked at the eyes and his face changed. The more he looked down, the ugly the more he looked. When he saw the end, his eyes were even more protruding.

Deng Zhao held his hands and raised his head, and read the aloud sentence at the end of the manifesto: "If you break the Yellow River, the heaven will be punished! If the heaven does not kill, my heavenly army will be punished on behalf of the heaven!"

The crowd was in a big uproar.

Du Chong's face turned pale, rubbed the manifesto in the palm of his hand, and returned with his sleeves.

...

Du Chong's plan to break the Yellow River was eventually still in the womb. But what is speechless is that the one who really caused this toxic plan to abort was not the citizens of Tokyo, not Zong Ying, nor Deng Zhao, but the Jin army!

On November 24, the Jin army, who received the news, began to attack Huazhou without waiting for the Yellow River to freeze, trying to control Li Gudu. The Eight-Character Army stationed in Huazhou was in danger due to the retirement of the commander and internal rebellion. The army was in turmoil and in a sluggish manner, and the fighting spirit was sluggish, and the front line was in danger.

Du Chen immediately ordered the Tokyo military and civilians to prepare for retreat. A war zone chief was about to escape as soon as the war started, and this battle would be over without fighting.

Tokyo City is trapped in the chaos of the end of the world with chaos.

At this moment, Du Chong did not forget to make himself so embarrassed: Wang Gui and Xu Qing of the front army immediately ordered the capture and killing of the two generals. As a result, Wang Tong, who was holding the command arrow, left with murderous aura and returned dejectedly. He brought Wang and the other generals, and had left the city a few days ago with his family and dozens of personal soldiers, and the news that he had disappeared.

This did not count. At this time, another family soldier came to report. They rushed to the Baifu Mi Store in Yonglinfang, but were told that Deng's account room had quit his job. After further investigation, this person had actually hid in the Daxiangguo Temple and lived next to the Zong Tongzong...

Du Chong was almost crazy and stayed in Tokyo. It was so difficult to kill a few little people in his jurisdiction?! It was hateful! There was no time anymore, otherwise I really wanted to kill the guys from Daxiangguoji Temple.

On November 27, Du Chong led the left-behind Seosu, the Right Army and most of the 16 counties of Kaifeng Prefecture, a total of more than 30,000 people, fled from Bianliang City in a hurry and headed south to Jiankang. The defense of Tokyo was all thrown to Guo Zhongxun, the deputy left-behind.

Guo Zhongxun is not a fool either. In the world, you are not the only one in Du Gongmei who can apply oil to the bottom of your feet. Guo Zhongxun also brought the rear army of our headquarters and the headless front army, plus some of the defenders left by the city, with more than 10,000 people, stepping on Du Chong's shadow and ran away.

On November 30, the Bazi Army, who had fought hard in Huazhou, learned that the rear had fled, and the entire army almost collapsed. He had no intention of fighting anymore, and evacuated Huazhou overnight and fled south.

In early December, the Jin army occupied Tokyo, which had no defenders without troops, without spending a single soldier.

Since the Yellow River was not dug, the Jin army's southward offensive was not affected or blocked. In this way, it would reach the Jianghuai River faster than in history, and the Changjiang River. Zhao Gou's escape route and destiny would be more miserable than in history...

This incident had a profound impact on the war between the Song and Jin Dynasties. Many of the wars and incidents that occurred in the third year of Jianyan were also staged in advance.

The wheel of history began to move towards an unpredictable direction at the end of the second year of Jianyan...

Di Lie was in Taihang and Hedong, and his punches and kicks for so long, and his impact on history was not as good as Deng Zhao's efforts.

Small people can sometimes change big history. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support are my greatest motivation. Mobile phone users please read it.)
