Chapter 193: The Wild Goose Returns to the South
There are only a handful of people who know the identity of "Hongyan" in the Song Dynasty. This intelligence officer is personally controlled by Zhao Qi, the boss. The people in the Intelligence Department only know their name but not their person, but they are from the intelligence community.
A newly emerging legendary figure. He not only sent back the political and economic information of the Jin Dynasty, but also passed back the trends and decisions of the Jurchen senior officials. The most legendary thing is that he not only obtained information about the survival status of Emperor Jingkang in the Jin Dynasty.
He also sent back a handwritten letter to the emperor, which made a great breakthrough in the work of Jin intelligence.
But at the beginning, several insiders admired the emperor even more. Speaking of which, it was only due to a conversation between Zhao Qi and Gao Chong, and talking about Song Chen who was captured and plundered to the Jin Kingdom. Some of them were
The high-ranking officials of the Jin Dynasty who turned against their ancestors and forgot their ancestors and were willing to be lackeys. Some people always kept their integrity and refused to submit to the power of the Jurchens, and still cared about the Song Dynasty and did not forget to return to the south.
Gao Chong talked about one of his clan brothers, whose name was Gao Shitan. He was also a famous minister of the Song Dynasty, and although the two were close, they were not familiar with each other. When the city of Bianjing was broken, they were kidnapped by the Jin army. At this time,
Being an official in the Jin Dynasty and serving as a direct scholar in Hanlin, which made the entire family shame and eliminated him from the genealogy. A few days ago, he sent back a letter saying that although he was an official in the Jin Dynasty, he also had his homeland and hoped to be a country.
Do something.
As he said that the listener was intentional, Zhao Qiong had been suffering from the inability to obtain information about the senior Jurchens in time. He immediately ordered Gao Chong to write a letter to his clan brother, saying that if he sincerely serves the motherland, he could lead a thousand needles to the emperor.
Recommended it, to justify his reputation, and to clear his innocence when he returned to the south. Unexpectedly, after the letter was sent, Gao Shitan really sent back some information about the high-level Jurchen fights. After investigation by the Intelligence Department, it was proved true, so both sides came to join us
The author was appointed as a senior secret intelligence officer of the Intelligence Department, codenamed 'Blue Bird'.
The two sides went back and forth. Zhao Qiong soon discovered that the information provided was unavailable as the identity and status of the Gao Shishen. He was confused but did not want to give up this line, so he sent Li Jun to the Jin Kingdom to investigate the matter in person.
As expected, it was beyond everyone's imagination. The person behind the Blue Bird was actually Yuwen Xuzhong, a traitor of the Song Dynasty and an important minister of the Jin Dynasty. Li Jun met him through a high-ranking scholar talk, and Yuwen Xuzhong made it clear to him.
My own thoughts are willing to contribute to the Song Dynasty.
This matter is too unrestrained. An official who was repeatedly excluded and demoted in the Song Dynasty was highly valued and trusted in the Jin Dynasty. He obtained the status and wealth that could not be obtained in the Song Dynasty, but he was still willing to serve the country without any prior grudges.
How can people believe it! Li Jun dared not make decisions and immediately reported the matter to the emperor when he returned to China. He thought that Yuwen Xuzhong might be a spy installed by the Jin Kingdom. He used the high-ranking scholars to discuss the trap and provided false information to the Song Dynasty.
To achieve the purpose of influencing the decision-making of the Song Dynasty.
Li Jun's suspicion is not without reason. Many of the spy cases they cracked were the people and officials of the Song Dynasty who returned to the south were bribed and appointed by the Jin Dynasty. They collected intelligence for the Jurchens in the name of the returning righteous man. And Yuwen Xu
He received his gold order and set an official system for it, and gave it a sanction, and enjoyed wealth. He pretended to surrender to the Jurchens, but he was just doing it more secretly and advanced!
Zhao Qiong had other ideas. When he was reading history in his previous life, he found that Yuwen Xuzhong, a minister in the late Northern Song Dynasty, was a very strange person. He was biography in "History of Jin" and biography in "History of Song".
There are two other people who Zhao Qi, who have all the legends in history, know about it. One is Zhang Jue and the other is Guo Yaoshi. Guo Yaoshi was included in a normal biography in "History of Jin". He was listed in "History of Song Dynasty"
In "Biography of Treacherous Ministers", Zhang Jue was even more miserable. Not only was he a neighbor with Guo Yaoshi in the "Biography of Treacherous Ministers" in the Song Dynasty, but he was also included in "Biography of Treacherous Ministers" in the "Biography of Treacherous Ministers". Only Yuwen Xuzhong is different,
Not only has he been told in both histories, but his history on both sides also has a good reputation for him. In other words, both sides think that he is his own person.
Isn't this a common plot in spy war movies? A successful double-faced spy won the trust of both hostile parties, and both awarded medals and built tombs and monuments. Zhao Qiong also suspected that he was a feudal dynasty that emphasized loyalty.
, Can a person who has received traditional Confucian education really be loyal to two hostile courts? Is Yuwen Xuzhong's surname "Song" or "Jin"?
"Life is a idly life, and you will never forget it if you break your eyes and your chest." These are two lines of a poem written by Yuwen Xuzhong in his letter written by Zhao Qi. This poem also made him make up his mind. This is the case.
How could a person with deep affection for his family and country, a person who looks at death like this, be afraid of death and pursues wealth and glory? So there is another meritorious intelligence officer in the Intelligence Department - Hongyan!
Through constant contact, Yuwen Xuzhong knew that among the Han people who were officials in the north, there were many people who were dissatisfied with the Jin Kingdom, so he began to secretly make friends with these people, and began to establish his own personnel and intelligence network to collect more information
When Qin Hui returned to Nan, he warned Zhao Qi, and explained that what he did in the Jin Dynasty, he asked him to be careful of being a spy from the Jin Dynasty.
Facts prove that Zhao Qiong's judgment is correct, and Hongyan can stand the test. In fact, Yuwen Xu has greater ambitions in the center, endured humiliation and achieved great things in the future. His official position is getting bigger and bigger, and he has come into contact with a large number of people.
The government documents of the Jin Kingdom, so he not only learned a lot about the internal struggles of Jin Kingdom, but he always sent people to report to the Jin Kingdom with secret letters. Every time the Jin people invaded the south, he also tried every means to dissuade him. He was really in the Jin camp.
The heart is in Song.
Now Yuwen Xuzhong conveyed back the views of the senior leaders of the Jin Kingdom on the current situation and decided to "first outside the pass, then inside the pass, first Liaodong and then Nanjing". Zhao Jie was overjoyed after reading it. The news came too timely, at least it showed that the Jin Kingdom had not yet.
Knowing the truth and truth here, he still dealt with the current situation based on the news sent back by Qin Hui. He judged that the Song army sent naval troops to harass each other in Yingzhou and Liaodong was just showing off his strength. He wanted to further gain benefits in the negotiations, but ordered the
Wu Shu mobilized his strength to quickly drive out the enemy from Yingzhou, so he could use the time difference in the Jin Dynasty's intelligence to complete the deployment and achieve his own battle goals...
Zhao Meng suddenly received a letter from Emperor Feige, ordering him to stop withdrawing troops in the direction of Datong, terminate the combat plan to lure the enemy into depth, and immediately launch a full-scale counterattack on the Jin army invading Fengshengzhou, and strive to annihilate one of the enemies. Zhao Meng Meng
I was a little frustrated when I received the order. I set up such a big game and the fish had bitten the bait. As long as I waited for the Jin army to completely enter their ambush circle in two days, I could severely damage them in the northwest.
"The chief minister, the hunting cavalry sent news, and the Jin army suddenly stopped following up and turned east, as if they were going back to Yanjing!" Zhao Meng regretted that his plan was terminated by the emperor, but the iron rule of military orders was as good as a mountain.
It had already soaked in every cell of his body. Just as he was about to adjust the deployment, a personal soldier came in to report.
"What, the Jin army suddenly retreated?! Did Wushu see through our plan, or did the Hunting Brigade's actions reveal a flaw!" Yelu Yuxi looked at Zhao Meng in confusion and asked.
"Your Majesty is really planning and winning thousands of miles away!" Zhao Meng handed the emperor's order to Yelu Yuxi, "Zhao Yong's troops have conquered Zhuozhou and annihilated most of the troops of the garrison general Zongfu, and the Jin army retreated to Yanjing.
; Zhao's army also consolidated Pingzhou and took several states in a row, which was only one day away from Yanjing. The emperor expected that Zongfu would send messengers to report to Wushu. Wushu learned that Nanjing was lost and Yanjing was in danger, so he would definitely
Returning to support Yanjing, there are much more important things than Datong…”
"It's not a coincidence that Your Majesty can achieve what he has today!" Yelu Yanxi sighed after seeing it, and she was more convinced of Zhao Qi, but the enemy situation has changed, and they must make a response as soon as possible, "In order to hide their strength, show the enemy's strength,
Yu Ruo, our main force has retreated too much. If the Jin army retreats with all its might, we will not be able to intercept the enemy brigade!"
"Now the Jin army's front army has passed Jiming Mountain. Our Longyi Army has left Songzikou and penetrated into the Yanshan area, which is two hundred miles away from Juyong Pass. The three cavalry brigades of the Lion Wing Army and the Hezhong Army have already detoured.
The right wing of the Jin army was waiting for the opportunity in the Xishan area. They were the closest to the Jin army, but they were one hundred miles away!" Zhao Moi looked at the map, his mind was running quickly, thinking about countermeasures.
The emperor's intention is already very clear. Once the Jin army begins to retreat, it will start to attack Yanjing. After Wushu's reinforcements arrive, they will fight with him in a decisive battle. This will require two major battles in a short time, and may also be prepared to fight.
The pressure the Liaodong reinforcements faced can be imagined. All they can do is to annihilate one of the enemies and relieve the pressure for the emperor.
"The Jin army must have been the front army and the rear team retreated, but the Jin army has always used iron cavalry to open the way and use the infantry rear. When they turned around, they became infantry front army, but the cavalry became the rear army.
The military battle will definitely affect the speed of the march, and it can buy us some time!" Yelu Yuxi can be said to be a real "three-substitute slave". He was born into the Liao royal family to lead the army to guard the side. He rebelled against Liao and surrendered to Jin and served as a military supervisor.
Now he is a guardian in the Song Dynasty, but because of this, he is familiar with the combat methods of various parties and understands each other's strengths and weaknesses.
"Yes, we will have a chance!" Zhao Meng was also worried that the Jin army has always used strong power to fight for initiative in the battlefield. Although the difference between the two armies is only a hundred miles, it is not easy to catch up with them.
The incident, Yelu Yuxi's words awakened him, "Order the hunting cavalry to entangle the Jin army and delay their retreat speed, so that the cavalry of the Lion Wing Army and the Hezhong Army cavalry would take a shortcut to cut off the Jin army brigade to the north, and wait for the Dragon Wing Army to rush.
After that, we will annihilate a part of the Jin army!"
"Well, this plan is feasible, but we have lost a chance to make great contributions!" Yelu Yuxi nodded. Now the three armies attacked Jin, the other two armies attacked cities and plundered the land, annihilated countless enemies, and recovered Youyan, and they
Chapter completed!
