  Chapter 1010 Daimyo dispatches troops

Daming Mansion is the largest garrison in the Kingdom of Jin except Yanshan Mansion, where 30,000 Jin soldiers were stationed. During the repeated campaigns of southern invasion, Daming Mansion was the logistics center for Jin soldiers, even after the Jin soldiers captured Bianliang. It can shake the status of the Daming Mansion.

  This is also because the geographical location of Daming Mansion is extremely important. Daming Mansion controls Hebei in the north, controls the Central Plains in the south, and borders Shandong in the east. It is the core place where the Kingdom of Jin controls the Song Dynasty.

  Like other big cities, after the locust-like sweep of the golden soldiers, the people's livelihood has long been withered, the business has declined, and the population has dropped sharply.

   Outside the northern city of Daming City, there is a barracks covering an area of ​​nearly 10,000 mu. This is the largest Jinbing barracks in Hebei and the Central Plains. It can accommodate up to 50,000 cavalry. Currently, 30,000 cavalry of Commander Wanyan Zongqian are stationed.

  Jin Bing didn't like the narrow military camps inside the city, so they surrounded a large area of ​​land outside the city as their military camps. The racecourse alone has more than 7,000 acres, and there are woods and rivers inside.

However, because the barracks were too large, the Jin soldiers could not build slab walls or barracks, so they dug a trench around them. At the same time, Wanyan Zongqian ordered that no one should appear within three miles of the trench. The number of ordinary people who died under this order to kill is countless.

This afternoon, in the woods about two miles away from the trench of the military camp, a thin and thin man climbed on a big tree and looked at the military camp from a distance. Apart from the scouts, there will be no one else.

   For half a month, the Song Army's intelligence station in Daming Mansion sent people to secretly monitor the Jinbing barracks almost every day. They usually hid in the large woods in the northwest corner, and came and went at night, so that they would not be discovered by the Jinbing patrol.

The intelligence scout hiding in the big tree to monitor the Jinbing military camp today is called Chen Jiang, who is a native of Daming Prefecture. He joined the Jingzhao Army Scout Battalion two years ago and is now an escort. Every soldier in the Jingzhao Army Scout Battalion He has his own special skills, and Chen Jiang's special skill is that he is good at climbing. He can climb the city wall with bare hands, and won the third place in the climbing competition of the Scout Camp last year.

Chen Jiang has come here for the third day to observe Jin Bing. He is wearing a dark samurai uniform that is almost the same color as the tree. He is climbing on a tall pine tree. The dense pine needles cover his body. He was out of sight, and only found after climbing a pine tree.

Before dawn, Chen Jiang climbed up the pine tree. He had been on the pine tree for almost five hours, which really made him a little exhausted. He leaned on a branch, took out a water bottle and took a sip of water. At this moment, suddenly in the barracks There was a muffled sound of the horn, so sudden that it startled him, and the kettle almost fell from the tree.

  He quickly stuffed the water bottle into his backpack, climbed to the top of the tree, and looked at the military camp two miles away.

  Condescending, he could see very clearly, and saw groups of Jurchen cavalry rapidly gathering. This was not training, but a real assembly, and it was the first time he had seen since monitoring the barracks.

  Chen Jiang was very excited. He suddenly realized that the higher-ups asked them to monitor the Jinbing camp, perhaps for today's assembly.

   More and more cavalry assembled, already more than 10,000. After the 10,000 assembled, they rushed out while the general ordered, and then the second cavalry of 10,000 began to assemble.

  Chen Jiang was startled. In just half an hour, 30,000 cavalry had rushed out of the camp, that is to say, all the troops in the camp had come out.

  He immediately realized the importance of this information, climbed down the tree and rushed to the city.

At the end of an old street in Daming City, there is a tea shop called Yangji Tea Cake Shop. The shop is small and sells all kinds of tea cakes and tea bricks, most of which are shipped from the south. The tea shop has regular customers and usually visits There are not many people buying tea, it seems a little deserted.

Another identity of this tea shop is the intelligence point set up by the Song Army in Daming Mansion. Together with the shopkeeper and staff, there are six people, plus more than a dozen local intelligence scouts living in Daming City, there are two intelligence scouts in the entire Daming Mansion. It consists of ten people.

  Chen Jiang's identity is also the buddy of this tea shop. He is pushing a wheelbarrow for delivery, and it seems that he has just delivered the goods.

  He parked the wheelbarrow outside the door, walked into the tea shop and shouted: "Business manager, today's business is very good!"

   This is a code word. Generally, the business means that the intelligence harvest is average. If the business is not good, it means that there is no intelligence. If the business is very good, it means that there is important information.

  A person leaned out from the room. It was Wang Yan, the shopkeeper, who was also the commander of the Daming Mansion's intelligence point.

   "How many cavalry from the camp have set off?" Wang Yan asked.

  Chen Jiang said with a smile: "All 30,000 cavalry are dispatched."

   "Hey, it's a big deal!"

  Wang Yanhuan rubbed his hands together with joy, "No wonder the daimyo Nanku transfers millions of loads of fodder to Yunzhou."

   "Is this also new information?"

  Wang Yan nodded, "The implementation has just started this morning, and 100,000 people will be recruited to transport grain and grass in Damingfu, Xiangzhou and Bozhou. It is estimated that our store will be closed for a few days."

  Chen Jiang thought for a while and said, "Why don't we burn this million loads of fodder!"

   "No!"

  Wang Yan denied his dangerous idea on the spot, and he emphasized: "These 30,000 cavalry must arrive in Yunzhou safely, and there must be no problems in the middle."

   "But do they have so many ships?"

   "There are enough ships on the Yellow River. The key is that I am worried that Gao Qingyi will increase his troops to Daming Mansion?"

   "We can't take care of this for the time being, let's tell Yan Dutong about the dispatch of troops first!"

  Wang Yan nodded, "You are right, this is the top priority!"

  The intelligence scouts of Daming Mansion sent two pigeon letters at the same time, one was sent to Xucheng, Yunzhou, and the other was sent to Lin'an.

When the carrier pigeons arrived at Pingjiang Mansion for transit, night had already fallen, and the carrier pigeons could no longer fly. The magistrate Mo Jun saw that the information was in a purple letter box. To Lin'an Mansion.

  The three messengers changed horses all the way, and finally arrived at Lin'an City at five o'clock. The three of them shouted at the gate of Yuhang: "Send urgent military information!"

The soldiers guarding the gate of the city hurriedly opened the city gate, verified their certificates, and then let them enter the city. They rushed all the way in the city, and soon came to the military letter office, which is equivalent to the post office in Lin'an. There are two places in total, one called The military information office, as the name suggests, is the place to receive military intelligence, and there is another called the political information office, which is the place to send and receive imperial letters.

  The two trust offices are located in front of the gate of the imperial city, with the army on the left and the text on the right. They are two buildings with the same shape, but there are still differences. The biggest difference is that the army trust office erected a yellow dragon banner of the Song army.

Although it was not yet dawn, there were still troops standing guard, and an officer was on duty every night. The soldiers handed over the emergency letter box to the general on duty. The Regent's House delivered a letter.

  In the middle of the night, Zhao Fujin was awakened by the sound of footsteps, followed by faint voices. She pushed her husband, "Husband, there seems to be something going on outside."

  Li Yanqing opened his eyes, at this moment, a female guard outside the tent reported: "His Royal Highness, a purple pigeon letter has arrived!"

Li Yanqing quickly sat up, put on a robe and went to the outer room. The female guard handed him a pigeon letter box. Li Yanqing sat under the lamp and opened the letter box. In fact, I already understood what was going on.

  He opened the pigeon letter, and there was only one sentence on it, "30,000 Jurchen cavalrymen have gone to Yunzhou, transferred millions of fodder, and recruited 100,000 civilians. Look at the date, it happened yesterday." "

  Li Yanqing didn't feel sleepy at all, so he came back immediately and put on his outer robe. Zhao Fujin put the outer robe on him and asked, "It's only five o'clock, where is husband going?"

   "There is an urgent military situation, I will go to the study."

   "The concubine, go prepare tea!"

  Li Yanqing nodded, "Be more prepared, there are still a few generals coming."

   "The concubine knows!"

  Li Yanqing embraced her in his arms, kissed her heavily on her red lips, then smiled and walked quickly to the inner study.
