Chapter 176 Big Secret Service
Are there any monthly votes that have not been voted for?
......
Genyue is not a mountain, but consists of three mountains and one pond. The three mountains are the three artificially accumulated earth mountains, Wansui Mountain, Wansongling and Shoushan. The three mountains are surrounded by an artificial lake in the middle, called Yanchi.
The three mountains and one pools are combined to cover an area of 750 acres, with a circumference of more than six miles. If you think of the three mountains and one pool as a city, it is really not very small. The highest point of the three mountains and one pool is the main peak of Wansui Mountain, which is 90 steps high, which is more than 140 meters!
The Yellow River cannot flood at this height! The cannons placed at the foot of the mountain cannot be obtained - the cannons cannot be shot high, and they have been killed by twenty or thirty meters.
Therefore, from a military perspective, Gen Yue, a major project that is exhausting the people and hurts money, is a dangerous man-made project that can be used as the core of Kaifeng Castle.
Zong Ze and Zhao Shuxiang, who had previously occupied Kaifeng Prefecture, also planned this way, so the reconstruction project of Genyue started in June last year and has not yet been completely over.
Although the project has not been completed, Zhao Kai, who stood in the Jieting on the highest peak of Genyue, still felt a particularly peaceful feeling.
After several months of continuous construction, the three mountains have been connected together - three mountains and one pond. In fact, there are six small hills of different sizes between the three mountains. Now the three "big mountains" and six "small hills" have been built up by more than seven meters of earth and stones. Even the water in and out of the Yan Pond has been blocked, and the water in the Yan Pond has also been drained.
In this way, even if the Jin thief really digs the Yellow River Dam, he can rest assured in Genyue. The lowest place in Genyue is more than eight feet long, equivalent to twenty meters, which is several meters higher than the city wall of Kaifeng Prefecture. The Yellow River water should not be that high.
There are still three or four hundred acres of vacant land within the three mountains of Genyue (or nine mountains), and it is not a problem to squeeze in tens of thousands of people.
On the outer circle of the three mountains of Genyue, there is a city wall built along the mountain. The lower layer of the city wall is made of stones. They are all "strange stones" transported from Jiangnan after Zhao Ji spent a lot of money during his lifetime. They are all with thorns and corners. The upper layer of the city wall was rarely seen in the Song Dynasty. The height of this circle of city walls was more than five meters high and was named Taicheng by Zongze.
Taicheng did not have a city gate, but seven or eight steps were built, from the slope of Genyue Mountain, passing through Taicheng to the ground. Outside the city wall of Taicheng, there is a circle of sheep and horse walls being built, and outside the sheep and horse walls, there is another circle of trenches. This circle of trenches is not continuous, but sections, with more than a dozen undigged places in the middle, thus forming a passage that can enter and exit... The outer trenches in the outer circle of Kaifeng Prefecture's inner circle and the inner circle of the inner circle also leave a passage.
Just looking at these circles of moats and sheep and horse walls, Zhao Kai knew that he had indeed chosen the wrong person - he really had a keen eye to recognize talents!
Although Zong Ze has always been a civil servant, has never been to the battlefield, and has never even been to Hedong and Shaanxi front-line areas. However, they just know how to build cities, how to set up defenses, and how to protect Kaifeng Prefecture for the Song Dynasty!

"Okay! OK! OK! I'm not wrong, Zong Qing... You are indeed the strong city of my Song Dynasty!"
From Jieting, back to the foot of Wansui Mountain, beside Yanchi (now Yankeng), in the Jiangxiao Tower (Zhao Kai’s residence in Kaifeng Prefecture City), which was more than six meters high, Zhao Kai took Zong Ze’s hand and praised it.
"With Zongqing guarding Kaifeng Prefecture, I am restless... I will turn around and ask the candidates who come to Kaifeng Prefecture to take the imperial examination to take a good look at this iron-clad Kaifeng Prefecture, which is like a brick wall, so that they can learn well! In the troubled times, as a prince, he has the responsibility to defend the territory! Even if he cannot charge, he must master the ability to build cities, right?"
When Mr. Zong Zezong heard this, he blushed. In fact, the reconstruction plan for Kaifeng Prefecture was not his work, but was made by Chen Gui, a county magistrate of Anlu who dared to go north to serve the king with hundreds of righteous soldiers.
Because Chen Gui was a small official who was not born (Jinshi) and was also a local soldier from Anlu, he looked like a rude man, not very good at fighting. Moreover, Chen Gui's official fortune was not good, and he was still a county magistrate at a large age, so he did not welcome him when he was in Zhongmu Daying. When Zhong Shidao and his friends came to Beijing to meet the saint, they did not bring him with him, but asked him to stay in Zhongmu to guard the granary. Unexpectedly, they became a blessing in disguise and escaped a disaster.
After that, he wanted to go back to Anlu to continue to be the county magistrate, but there was still a lot of food and grass in Zhongmu Cang, and he didn't know who to give it to? In addition, the county magistrate of Zhongmu County was missing, so Chen Gui had to mobilize himself to work and become the county magistrate of Zhongmu County... This county magistrate stayed until Zongze left Kaifeng Prefecture, and was ordered to take the people from Zhongmu County to escort the food and grass into Kaifeng Prefecture.
After entering the city, Zong Ze sent him to open the Fengfu Office... The place where Bao Longtu and Bao Heizi sits in the hall has now been demolished!
Because the Kaifeng Prefecture Office was well demolished, Chen Gui got into the eyes of the thief and became the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture. After becoming the magistrate, Chen Gui wrote a booklet of the method of building a city that he learned when he was a teenager (which delayed the imperial examination) and presented it to Zong Ze.
When Zong Ze saw that it was good, he simply handed over the reconstruction project of Kaifeng Prefecture to him.
After seeing Zong Ze off, Zhao Kai was in a good mood and didn't plan to deal with any military affairs anymore. He just wanted to ask Ren Baolian to come and discuss martial arts with him... It was just a competition, nothing else.
Just as he was about to ask his left and right to call someone, someone suddenly came to report that it was Tong Guan and Zhao Liangsi asked him to see him.
It's getting late now, and it's getting dark outside. What are these two people coming to do?
Some dark clouds suddenly arose in Zhao Kai's heart.
"Xuan!" Thinking of this, Zhao Kai asked someone to take Tong Guan and Zhao Liangsi to Jiangxiao Tower.
"Official Tong, it's so late and I'm still here to Gen Yue. What happened?"
Seeing Tong Guan climbing upstairs worriedly, Zhao Kai couldn't help but ask a question first.
"Official family," Tong Guan bowed and called Zhao Liangsi forward, "It's not that I have an urgent matter to report, but that Zhao Liangsi saw something unusual when he fled from Yingtian Mansion."
"Escape?" Zhao Kai looked at Zhao Liangsi. Although he had lost weight, he was old and didn't look like he could escape no matter how hard he looked.
"Official family," Zhao Liangsi seemed to see Zhao Kai's thoughts, and explained, "I can't be considered a return from escaping. In fact, the Jin thief let me go to Jinling, but I knew that the destiny was in the west, so I found an opportunity to escape and travel west to Kaifeng Prefecture."
You're smart!
Zhao Kai thought to himself: Zhao Huan started a massacre a while ago and killed many ministers... You are Tong Guan's person, so naturally you are my person. If you really want to go to Jinling, you will definitely not be able to survive.
Zhao Liangsi then said, "Before the officials, I left Yingtian Prefecture, I found that a large amount of grain rice was transported from the southeast... There were grain ships above the canal, which were connected to the head and tail for dozens of miles, and only two or three million stones of rice were transported!"
"What?" Zhao Kai's smile suddenly froze, and then it suddenly turned ashen, "Zhao Huan...you bastard! How dare you recruit enemies!"
The problem is very serious, Zhao Kai is very angry!
Although Zhao Kai became a military system and began to promote military meritorious titles, his military strength was still insufficient... The Jurchens and Bohai people had long been soldiers, and the military population was no less than Zhao Kai's military households. Moreover, the Jurchen soldiers fought for many years and shot out a powerful empire with one sword and one shot. Zhao Kai's military soldiers could not compare with them.
So Zhao Kai's plan was to guard the line of Kaifeng Prefecture - Guangwu Mountain, and then attract the Jin thieves to waste time with him. This was Liu Bang's trick to deal with Xiang Yu back then.
Although most of the Hebei and most of the Jingdong thieves occupied by the Jin thieves produced food, the Jin thieves were "occupiers" after all. After Zhao Kai took back Kaifeng Prefecture, he had a great reputation and could call on the heroes of Hebei and Jingdong to raise troops to fight against the Jin Dynasty. As long as the rear of the Jin thieves became chaotic and were unable to seize Kaifeng Prefecture and the Guangwu Mountain line could only give up the victory.
But Zhao Kai never expected that Zhao Huan would actually send a large amount of food and grass to the Jin thieves. This was a blatant treason for the country and surrender to the enemy!
Of course, Zhao Kai also received 3 million stones of grain - King Zhao Shuxiang of Xiangyang had reported this matter, and 3 million stones of grain had arrived in Xiangzhou before the end of December last year.
Before leaving Chang'an, Zhao Kai ordered Zhao Shuxiang to transport the grain and water to Nanyang County, Dengzhou. At the same time, he sent Qu Duan to lead more than 10,000 Jingyuan Army out of Wuguan after the New Year, entered Dengzhou and took over as the governor of Dengzhou, the military commander, the field envoy, and was responsible for transporting military rations from Dengzhou to Guangwushan Camp.
According to estimates, as long as 2 million stones (loss during transportation) of rice and grain can be transported to Guangwu Mountain, it will be enough for Zhao Kai's army to support Guangwu Mountain and Kaifeng Prefecture for more than one year... It will be exhausted by the golden thieves!
But now, this bastard Zhao Huan actually sent 3 million stones to the Jin thief... What does he mean?
Want to let the Jin thief and himself waste endlessly, is he going to be the Emperor Taiping in Jinling City?
The more Zhao Kai thought about it, the more angry he became. As he was angry, Zhao Kai suddenly thought of a serious problem - his intelligence work seemed a bit bad!
Zhao Huan and the Jin Thief colluded with such a big deal, but he didn't know for so long! It seems that the people in the Spy Room of the Privy Council are not very good... Someone must arrest this matter!
In addition, it’s time to use the thread Guo Pharmacist!
Thinking of this, Zhao Kai's face suddenly softened, and he smiled and said to Zhao Liangsi: "Zhao Qing, you are very familiar with the situation in the Jin Dynasty, and you also know the customs and customs of Yanyun Land, right?"
Zhao Liangsi nodded and looked at the very alternative Song Dynasty official in front of him.
"Okay!" Zhao Kai smiled, "Then I want to invite you to Yanshan Mansion to meet an old acquaintance!"
"Old acquaintance?" Zhao Liangsi was stunned, "Who?"
Zhao Kai said: "The Jin thief's Nanjing left-behind Yaoshi Guo!"
Zhao Liangsi was startled by Zhao Kai's proposal, "Officials, this Yaoshi Guo is cunning and insidious, and capricious... The current situation is quite unfavorable to our Song Dynasty, I'm afraid he won't be used by the court!"
Zhao Kai smiled and said, "He can't help...what is the person coming, Xuan Tiannu comes here!"
Chapter completed!
