Poor Family Chapter 666

  Chapter 666 is not Xixia

Zhang Jue was beheaded by the Kingdom of Jin, and the news that the court was being teased by the Kingdom of Jin once again aroused the strong anger of hundreds of thousands of people in Yanshan Mansion. The uprising wave suddenly broke out. In just one month, there were dozens of small and medium-scale rebellions, but all of them were suppressed by Guo Yaoshi. Bloody repression.

In the capital, news about Yanshan Mansion and Jin State has also become a taboo for the imperial court. Any official who dares to talk about this matter in public will be dismissed if he is reported. Lin, who dares to mention this matter, he will be furious.

   As time went by, this incident was gradually forgotten.

   In a blink of an eye, it was the end of the year again. In late November, Jingzhao Mansion had the first snowfall since the beginning of winter.

  The snow is not heavy, it can only be regarded as moderate snow, covering the entire Jingzhao City with a layer of white lightly.

The first snow did not affect the prosperity of Jingzhao Mansion. The streets were full of noisy and lively scenes. People buying new year's goods drove all kinds of items back home in donkey carts. The guys in front of the shops were shouting hard. In addition, there are groups of young scholars who have just participated in the hair test and are going to buy some gifts to go home.

In addition, there are groups of soldiers. The Jingzhao Army has a ten-day rest day. When the ten-day rest day arrives, most of the soldiers will go out to go shopping. The main purpose is two, either to eat and drink, or to go to a brothel. The Western Army did not accompany the army. The tradition of military prostitutes is tolerant in this regard and does not interfere with soldiers, but the premise is that they are not allowed to make trouble outside, especially the Jingzhao Army has strict military discipline, and once they make trouble outside, they will be severely punished.

But what attracts the attention of the people most is the female soldiers who hang out in the streets together. Although they earn a good income, most of them are more frugal than the male soldiers. This is related to the fact that most of them were born in poverty. The money they earn as soldiers needs to be used to support their families. , to help father and brother, so they like to gather at street stalls to buy some cheap gadgets.

Although it is a ten-day holiday, Li Yanqing has no rest time. He and Cao Xing lead a team of soldiers to patrol the streets. Every ten days, the commanders will all be dispatched to lead the military police to patrol the streets and supervise the words and deeds of the soldiers in the city. .

   "The matter of Zhang Jue in the Yanshan Mansion, the imperial court handled it like a **** fuck!"

   Pausing for a moment, Cao Xing added bitterly: "The people of Yanshan Mansion have lost their hearts!"

   It has been nearly two months since the Zhang Jue incident. Although the incident has faded away, the bad influence has not completely subsided. Beijing officials dare not talk about it, but local officials have no worries.

Li Yanqing seemed very indifferent to this case. Since he could not change the course of history, he could only accumulate strength and take action at the most critical moment. It was precisely because of this that he was no longer concerned about many things that happened in the court. Too concerned.

   "Is the old man's condition better?" Li Yanqing asked with concern.

Mr. Cao actually fell ill after returning from Hangzhou, which really made everyone deeply worried, and Li Yanqing was also very worried. The reason why he was able to secure the seat of Jingzhao Tongzhi was largely because the old man was still alive. Three pros and two cons, not to mention Tong Guan and Wang Fu working behind the scenes, even Zhao Ji himself would not tolerate giving him such an important seat in Jingzhao Mansion to Li Yanqing.

Gao Qiu and him can only have a cooperative relationship, not an ally, and will not help him at critical moments. Liang Shicheng is not lukewarm to him. Li Yanqing's real backer is the Cao family, and only the Cao family will go all out to support him. Therefore, Mr. Cao's illness has a great impact on Li Yanqing's fate. Mr. Cao had an accident.

   "It's a little bit better, but Imperial Physician Zhao has repeatedly told you to be extra careful this winter, and don't get sick anymore. It will affect the old man's heartache attack."

  Li Yanqing nodded, he didn't need to ask more about this matter, the Cao family would be more careful than himself, Cao Xing smiled again: "My uncle may come to Jingzhao in a few days."

  Cao Xing's younger brother-in-law is Cao Sheng, Li Yanqing frowned slightly, what is the prince-in-law doing in Jingzhao? Could it be.

  Seeing that the coach had misunderstood, Cao Xing quickly said, "It's Diji who wants to come to Zhong Nanshan to see the dojo. My brother just came with her, and there is no official intention."

  So that's the case, it seems that he is still a little sensitive, Li Yanqing smiled, and put this matter aside.

   At this moment, a soldier rushed over and said something to Li Yanqing in a low voice, Li Yanqing's eyes flashed brightly, "I see, let's pass!"

  Cao Xing quickly asked, "Control, what happened?"

  Li Yanqing smiled slightly, "Zhang Hu and Yan Qing have a result."

  About three months ago, Qiao Zhong'an, the second owner of Qiao's Firm, brought news to Li Yanqing that an important military intelligence leader in Xixia had visited Jingzhao Mansion, stayed for a few days and then returned to Xixia.

   This news seemed insignificant, but Zhang Hu, who was in charge of the intelligence department, immediately realized that it was very likely that Xixia had strengthened the intelligence points around Shaanxi Road.

   Xixia's intelligence penetration on Shaanxi Road has never stopped for a hundred years. When Di Qing and Zhong Shidao were in charge of Shaanxi Road, they both severely cracked down on Xixia's intelligence points in various places on Shaanxi Road.

However, since the Song and Xia countries signed the truce and reconciliation agreement a few years ago, Xixia has basically stopped collecting intelligence on the military aspects of the Song Dynasty, and turned to intelligence collection on people's livelihood and economic aspects. It was related to the development of trade, and it was for this reason that the Song Dynasty also slowed down its attack on Xixia intelligence points.

Since Li Yanqing took over the Jingzhao army, Zhang Hu, who joined the army in the intelligence department, also began to deploy and control the Xixia intelligence points in Jingzhao Prefecture. In less than three months, he fully grasped the details of the Xixia intelligence points. Before Yanqing's clear order, Zhang Hu temporarily did not act on these intelligence points.

The Intelligence Department of Jingzhao Army has two government offices, one is in the military camp, next to the female barracks, it is mainly used to deal with military intelligence, the other is near the west gate, it looks like a very ordinary house from the outside, but In fact, it is the command center of the Intelligence Department in Jingzhao Mansion, and all Xixia intelligence points in Jingzhao Mansion are under the surveillance of this private house.

   Li Yanqing asked Cao Xing to continue his inspection, and he rushed to the house with a few personal soldiers.

   "Control, this is the latest surveillance information!"

  Zhang Hu presented a report to Li Yanqing, Li Yanqing took the report, and immediately frowned: "Guanglan Restaurant, you are right!"

  Guanglan Restaurant is one of the three restaurants in Jingzhao Mansion, but Li Yanqing knows that its backstage is the magistrate Yang Xuzhou. How could the restaurant where Yang Xuzhou is the backstage become the intelligence terminal of Xixia people?

   "The humble job is absolutely not mistaken. It has been monitored for three months. Guanglan Restaurant is indeed Xixia's intelligence terminal in Jingzhao Mansion."

   "What does that have to do with Yang Xuzhou?"

   "The restaurant was originally opened by Yang Xuzhou's brother-in-law, but it was transferred to the current operator at the beginning of the year. Yang Xuzhou should only be related to rent collection, and has nothing to do with the Xixia Intelligence Station."

Li Yanqing nodded. Although his relationship with Yang Xuzhou was not good, especially when Yang Xuzhou was drunk a few months ago and behaved rudely. Although he apologized to himself the next day, Li Yanqing still hated this person very much. Unexpected events in Zhaofu triggered a power struggle against Jingzhaofu, so even though Yang Xuzhou acted rudely towards him, he didn't care about it for the time being, and focused on stabilizing the situation.

Li Yanqing didn't mention Yang Xuzhou, and continued to read the report. The report mentioned that Xixia intelligence personnel began to pay attention to military intelligence, especially the intelligence of Changxun township soldiers, but Li Yanqing knew that Zhang Hu invited him here, not just to report these things. normal situation.

   "There should be other important information!" Li Yanqing asked while watching Zhang Hu.

  Zhang Hu hesitated and said: "Because there is no final confirmation, I wonder if we should report to the control?"

   "Just say what you want, what's the situation?"

   "We suspect that this time Xixia suddenly strengthened its intelligence, and there may be the shadow of Jin Guo behind it."

  Li Yanqing frowned, "Did you find anything?"

  Zhang Hu said slowly: "In the records left before, there were only six Xixia intelligence points in Jingzhao Mansion, but now we find that there are nine more intelligence points, three more."

   "Could it be that they themselves amplified?"

   "We also thought it was an expansion at first, but as the monitoring deepened, we discovered that the three new intelligence points were added. They used to be the intelligence points of the Liao Kingdom. The personnel have not changed, but they have been merged with the Xixia intelligence point."

The Liao Kingdom has been destroyed, but it is mainly the Liao royal family that was destroyed. The Liao Kingdom's army and other resources were all taken over by the Jin Kingdom. Li Yanqing immediately thought of the possibility of Jin Xia joining forces. This should be Jin Guo's preparations before attacking Song Dynasty.

   "Control, do you want to send out the army to wipe them all out?"

However, Li Yanqing did not respond. He was still walking around the room with his hands behind his back. He was thinking about why the Kingdom of Jin wanted information about Shaanxi Road. He undoubtedly wanted to consider Shaanxi Road in the grand chess game of attacking the Song Dynasty. It borders the Kingdom of Jin, and the Kingdom of Jin cannot attack Shaanxi Road, but once the Kingdom of Jin aggressively attacks the Song Dynasty, Shaanxi Road and Jingzhao Mansion will play the role of reinforcements. The best way to contain the army must be to use the power of Xixia.

Li Yanqing has already seen through the strategic purpose of the Kingdom of Jin, but the strategy needs long-term considerations. How to deal with Xixia's intelligence agencies is an urgent matter. Jingzhao Mansion's Xixia intelligence point is not a big problem. Li Yuan is more concerned about the enemy's intelligence in Taiyuan At this point, once the Jin soldiers attack Taiyuan on a large scale, and the enemy's internal and external cooperation, I am afraid that Taiyuan will not be able to keep it.

  But Yao Pingzhong in Taiyuan may not follow his own suggestion and completely unplug the enemy's intelligence points. I'm afraid he has to think of a safe way to do this.

  Thinking of this, Li Yanqing slowly said to Zhang Hu and Yan Qing: "You start to gather all your forces now and prepare for a thunderous blow, but you must wait for my order. Without my order, you must not do anything!"

   "Follow the order!"
