From a viewing window in Tokyo's Zide Hall, two little boys were lying behind a peach tree, and their clothes were covered with dirt. Guo Zhang loved to clean himself, and looked reluctant, but his brother Guo Hong pressed his shoulders and did not move. The boy Guo Hong couldn't sit still, but at this moment he was very focused and stared at the front.

On a brick and stone open space, an upside down basket was supported by a branch; under the basket was a bowl of rice. A hemp rope was tied to the branch, and the other end was pulled in Guo Chong's hand.

Guo Chong stared at the bowl in the basket for a while, and from time to time he looked up at the sparrows hovering on the treetops.

Guo Shao took the matter between the two and looked up to observe the birds in the sky. After a long time, he left the viewing window.

In this spotless hall, there were many notes on the wall and many files were placed randomly, which seemed a little messy. Guo Shao sat down on the soft couch and continued to look at the notes on the wall, all of which were covered with names. Some, such as Yelu Xian, Xiao Siwen, Yelu Xizhen, etc., were famous people, but there were also many very unfamiliar names, which were not even familiar to Guo Shao.

"Then Xiao Siwen was always thinking about by His Majesty, and I don't know if he should feel honored." Fu Jinzhan's soothing voice came from behind.

Guo Shao turned his head and saw her smiling face. After such a long time, Guo Shao's health has improved a lot. He has not been to court recently but pretended to be sick. Fu Jinzhan is most concerned about now, but him, so he looks very good in his mood.

Guo Shao touched the shallow hair on his head and said, "Xiao Siwen used a traitor to harm me, and made me half-death, and so many people died because of it. It's just that he was a despicable person, but the traitor actually succeeded. This is a humiliation and playfulness to me! I repay him once, and I feel really frustrated!"

"Will Xiao Siwen be fooled?" Jinzhan asked softly, looking at the paper on the wall and the sloppy things with interest.

Guo Shao was stunned for a moment, and even he himself was not completely sure.

The waiting time passed very slowly. The more I looked forward to the announcement of the results, the more anxious he was. Although he did not come on stage in person, he felt that it was even harder than those who carried out the conspiracy. Guo Shao couldn't help but stand up and paced in the room.

Seeing Jinzhan looking at him silently, he spoke, "I have tried my best to deploy it carefully, but this kind of thing will ultimately depend on the opponent's reaction..."

Guo Shao walked to the case and looked around for a while, and said, "The Liao Dynasty learned my method and had a special spy spy yamen; but now it seems that it is far from mature enough. The main reason is that the organizational form is too poor, and there are acquaintances between spies, who know each other and can also contact each other! Therefore, when the internal factory investigated the poisoning case, he followed the clues and found almost all of them. I did not order those people to move, and only then came up with this layout."

Fu Jinzhan listened with great interest, "At the time, His Majesty asked the spies not to know each other, and could only contact one person above alone. He has been planning ahead since the beginning of the selection of people, which is really far-sighted."

Guo Shao didn't think he was very clever. This kind of thing was really basic insight. The elementary school texts popularized the basis of spies, which was to commemorate Li Dazhao's article, and put a pot of flowers on the windowsill as a description of the secret code.

"The Liao people didn't expect this, and they had no experience either." Guo Shao said. He pondered for a moment and said, "The Jinzhan knows that the most feared thing about the spy's yamen is not being arrested, but being exposed without knowing it. He believes it true after getting fake news!"

Jinzhan looked up at Guo Shao, who was tall and strong, "Is it because of the details from the beginning that were in His Majesty's layout?"

Guo Shao nodded and said, "It is precisely. There are not many spies left in the Liao Kingdom in Tokyo. When Yang Ye escaped from Tokyo, he rented a horse, the route out of the city, and the escaped clothes must be noticed by the other party. Otherwise, how could Xiao Siwen make sure that Yang Ye was running away?

There is also the Dangxiang man Zheihei, who is around Zhe Deyan. Heihei, whom Zhe Deyan trusts. Without him taking the initiative to give the spies in Liao Kingdom the opportunity, how could he be easily bribed?"

Jinzhan nodded: "Even so, it is just a verbal evidence of some clues. Your Majesty thinks this matter is feasible, but it is mainly because Xiao Siwen is willing to believe it."

Guo Shao praised: "The Jinzhan talked about the key point. Xiao Siwen was originally a talented person, but the root cause of chaos in Liao was too deep. It was the first time he was presided over the situation of the entire Liao Kingdom. He was not very steady and seemed impatient. Otherwise, with his status, how could he even use conspiracy such as poisoning? Also, when Li Chuyun led his troops outside, Xiao Siwen also sent someone to send a letter to coward Li Chuyun to rebel. I see Xiao Siwen's actions. As long as there is a chance, he will try it. He will not give up until he destroys us."

Jinzhan's smile disappeared and she whispered, "This kind of person who has ill-intentioned evil will really be eliminated as soon as possible."

Guo Shao nodded, distracted for a moment, and pondered various details in the deployment... His way of thinking is different from that of the world. At this time, people often think about the big principles when planning things; but Guo Shao is different. He often combines everything from specific things. It is probably because he was brainwashed since childhood and everything is composed of particles.

Jinzhan couldn't help but say, "Yang Ye and Zhe Deyan are completely credible?"

Guo Shao felt very credible in his heart, but there was also a reason: "Yang Ye knew I was fine, why did he rebel?"

However, all plans have one problem, that is, there are always uncontrollable accidents, and maybe a small thing can change the whole story. Guo Shao pondered for a long time, picked up a new note on the table, walked to the wall and pasted it, with two words written on it: Yang Gun.

...

In the military mansion of the Qianying of Daizhou, Yang Gun was wearing a long robe and a squid head. He followed Yang Ye quietly with Fan Zhongyi, a Han Dynasty man.

At this time, a large group of officials rushed out of the lobby, and some people said, "General Yang is here." "What does his mother mean..."

"Don't be impatient for a moment, please don't be impatient for a moment!" Yang Ye raised his hands, and the guards beside him put their hands on the hilt of the knife.

Yang Gun said nothing and focused on observing the group of people in front of him. Most of his fingers were clean and his nails were not dirty... Han'er's civil servants had no fingers of water since he studied in the imperial examination and did not work at all, and he could tell his hands.

There are also those people's faces that are fair and not as fair as those who are exposed to wind and sun for a long time. Yang Gun even paid attention to the belts, jade pendants, temperament and demeanor on the officials.

"Gen. Yang has thought about the consequences of putting us under house arrest here like this?" A red-robed official said coldly, and asked loudly with great momentum, "Which law gives you this power, and who gives you this power?!"

Yang Ye said kindly: "When Wang Changshi is too heavy, how can he be considered house arrest? The Liao army is gathering in the north, and there are Khitan spies in Hedong. I am also guarding against it..."

"What? General Yang suspected that we were here?" said the red-robed official.

Someone immediately scolded, "Don't be polite, Yang Ye's intentions are obvious!"

Yang Ye stared at the man just now and asked, "What's your intention? Come and listen?"

The man said, "You don't know what you mean, so you still ask me?"

Yang Ye frowned and said, "You are here to stay here and plan to deal with the Liao army's invasion in the south." After that, he turned around and left.

The crowd shouted: "General Yang thought about how to explain what happened today to the court!"

The group of people quickly retreated, and the group chased after him and was blocked by the guards. After all, they were civil servants, with good words and good words, so they could not use force.

They left the military mansion and returned to Yang Ye's yard. After retreating, Yang Ye asked, "Do you think there is something strange about General Yang?"

"Master Haihan, I don't believe you." Yang Ye bowed, "It's just a matter of great importance. I'll wait and see it for more, so I can go back and explain it."

Yang Ye snorted: "I think you don't believe it. Everyone wants others to do this first."

Yang Gun shook his head and denied it, no longer argued, but he had to look at it anyway.

"When will the Liao army set off?" Yang Ye whispered, he was a little anxious, "It's over, you have seen it too. I am afraid that Ye Changmeng will not be able to control the situation."

Fan Zhongyi answered first: "Duke Xiao has prepared in Fengzhou (Hohhot), and the general Xiao Duli led a large army of 100,000 (known as) waiting!"

Yang Ye frowned and said, "How many people are there to help?"

Fan Zhongyi pondered for a moment and said, "There should be more than 30,000 infantry and cavalry, including more than 10,000 Khitan cavalry, and 20,000 Jurchen infantry. Mr. Xiao personally took charge of Fengzhou. The general only needed to send trustworthy messengers to Fengzhou with our letters, and Mr. Xiao would receive them. As soon as Mr. Xiao received the news, he transferred troops to Yunzhou. The general was able to defend Yanmen and handed Yunzhou to the Liao Dynasty, so that the Liao army could get closer."

Yang Ye nodded slightly while thinking.

Fan Zhongyi said again: "We will stay in Daizhou for the time being in order to communicate with Mr. Xiao in the north and south."

The three of them then agreed that Yang Ye asked them to return to their residence to write a letter.

...Half an hour later, the secret letter signed by Yang Gun and Fan Zhongyi was first taken to Yang Ye's room.

At this time, there were two more people in the room, one was the Minister of Rites and the Cabinet Auxiliary Lu Duosun, and the other was Yang Ye's second brother Yang Chongxun.

Yang Chongxun has been serving the Central Plains court since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty (later), and was Yang Ye's brother. He was a relatively credible person. At this time, he was in charge of the defense of Yanmen Pass.

Before the Northern Han Dynasty was destroyed, the two brothers of the Yang family were their masters because the ancestors of the Yang family wanted to bet on both sides. The Yang family lived in Linzhou, a border area, and was originally a local tyrant. During the Zhou Dynasty, Yang Chongxun was ordered by his father to surrender to the Great Zhou Dynasty; Yang Yeze was sent to the Emperor of Northern Han when he was young. It was obvious that it depends on which side could win... Although the Northern Han Dynasty was in a corner, the emperors of the five dynasties all achieved success in Hedong, and it cannot be said that they had no chance at all.

Later, the Central Plains Dynasty became increasingly powerful. When Guo Shao destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, Yang Ye surrendered mainly because Yang Chongxun was involved.

Yang Ye first read the content of the letters of the Second Envoy of the Liao Kingdom. It said everything was as expected and there was no problem. Xiao Siwen asked to take over Yunzhou and force Yanmen. After the second envoy made an agreement with Yang Ye, he would return to Liaoying and enter Yanmen Pass.
