The twentieth black cloud overwhelms the city and the city is about to be destroyed (1)
When he was worried, Bi Zilun took the initiative to come to Liu Kezhuang. The two of them had a very different knowledge and insights, but they were both Mubins who had just arrived at Zheng Yunming's tent, so they always had to say a few words when they exchanged greetings.
On this side, Wei Leweng said to Zheng Yunming: "The students who are nominated on the same list as you, you are the first to make contributions. A two-legged hero, a prince of the prime minister, and the Qing Dynasty will definitely be proud of you..."
While the two were talking, suddenly there were officers and soldiers outside the door reported: "A young woman asked to see General Zheng."
Wei Liweng, Liu Kezhuang and Bi Zilun all cast strange gazes at Zheng Yunming. Zheng Yunming's face turned red. A gentleman valued etiquette. Any relationship between the young woman and the young official will inevitably be covered with a layer of peach-like relationship.
Of course he knew who was coming, and he also knew that the intention of the visitor had absolutely nothing to do with the color of the woman.
Walking out of the cabin and looking out at the bow, I saw a graceful girl standing under a locust tree in the bleak trees in the bleak river bank in the middle of winter. Her pretty figure seemed like a snow lotus blooming in the harsh winter.
Zheng Yunming jumped off the boat and headed straight for the locust tree.
The Lai family's wife, who was only a short distance from Zheng Yunming, was already breathing heavily at this time, and she didn't care about the girl's attitude at all.
The white horse kept shaking, and the Han River dripped down along the long hair and fell to the ground and bloomed into petals.
This man must have arrived from Xiangyang by Xingye. If it weren't for something big, it would never have been like this.
Sure enough, the Lai family's wife said only one sentence while she was breathing:
"The jackal moved!"
Shi Wenhu leaned his back against the city wall and kept gasping for breath. The blood dripped from the wound on his right arm dyed a red color on his clothes.
He held the knife in his hand and stared at the enemy surrounding him with all his attention.
Six men dressed as ordinary people each stood up their weapons, stood in a semicircle surrounding, and slowly approached him.
Shi Wenhu knew two of them, which was the detailed work of the former Jin Dynasty's deputy marshal Wanyan Puchanu. In previous years, when the Song and Jin Dynasty were in conflict, they also went south to spy on military aircraft and met Shi Wenhu. Now that the Jin Dynasty has been destroyed, Puchanu died in battle. He thought he turned around and joined the Mongolians' portal and still acted as spies going south.
Although the other people had never met, they knew that they were not the people of Xiangfan, but spies from the north.
These Mongolian fine works have become so arrogant that they openly besieged Shi Wenhu during the day.
Since the Jackals entered Xiangyang City, the hidden battlefield in Xiangyang City has undergone great changes.
First of all, the activities of Mongolian spies changed from complexity to clear. Before the jackal entered Xiangyang City, Mongolian spies were concerned about almost everything. Some were responsible for investigating the Song army's garrison and numbers, some were responsible for inspecting the Song army's grain reserves and property collections. Some were specifically focused on the whereabouts of local officials, some were responsible for contacting Northern Army soldiers in the Song army who were dissatisfied with the court, and some even recorded the types and prices of daily necessities in the Xiangyang market!
This is the bad rule of the Jin Dynasty's espionage system in previous years. The Jin people originated from the White Mountains and Black Waters. After entering the Central Plains, their spy networks were mostly established based on the system of the old Song Dynasty. The deep ditch and high barriers of the two sides, and the opposing cities, the more detailed the collecting of various intelligence from the other side, the more conducive it is to the general to make detailed offensive and defensive plans.
But for the Mongolian cavalry who come and go like the wind, this is inappropriate and inefficient.
After Hulang presided over the espionage affairs in Xiangyang, he ordered Mongolian spies to focus their energy on three things.
First, we will conduct detailed investigations of the terrain of Jingxiang, and locate the forces, garrisons, and movement patterns of the Song army in Jinghu area.
This was to point out the attack route and key targets for the large cavalry that invaded Jinghu. Supported by the intelligence of the jungle, Tasi's main force easily bypassed Xiangyang City, which was strongly defended front and led him to Shatou City where Zheng Yunming was stationed. Because of the jungle's route analysis, the Mongol gave up the plan to go straight to Xiazhou from Junzhou and attacked the hinterland of Jinghu, thus almost breaking the old camp of the Tulong Army in Laoya Mountain. All these actions were moved by the invisible hand of the jungle, but he did not count that the child of the playboy official he looked down upon at the time would hinder the army's actions in both directions.
Secondly, the Jackal ordered the focus to collect information about where the Jinghu area is rich, where food is hoarded, and where cattle and sheep are planted. The first thing the Mongolian army does to fight is to fight economic wars. From the north of the desert, they value not only to destroy the enemy's army but also to plunder the enemy's economic foundation. Whether it is cattle, sheep, women, children, gold, silver or cloth, as long as it is valuable, they must plunder. In this way, the Mongolian army becomes stronger and stronger, and the enemy is not only weak but also has a low morale.
The basis of the plunder is to fully grasp the detailed information of the other party's wealth. This time, the farmlands in the suburbs of Jinghu Lake were severely damaged, the hope of the Song army's autumn harvest was shattered, and even the collection of the treasury was robbed by the Mongolian army. Naturally, behind this, there was a contribution from the Jackals.
But Jackal's ambitions were not only that. He focused his work on the work of inciting the rebellion of the Northern Army.
The northern and southern armies in the Jinghu area were incompatible, and they were the Jinghu area. No, everyone in the country knew the facts. After the defeat of the Jin Dynasty, refugees from the north rushed to the south in hundreds of thousands, including the large and small army generals who surrendered to the Song Dynasty and their troops.
More than half of the forty-five local armies in Jinghu are composed of northern surrendered troops.
No matter the emperor, the court officials or the local people, no one really believed in these surrendered soldiers and generals from the north. Of course, they had the power to remain vigilant. These so-called Northern Army were all rich armies that emerged from the local area after the Mongolian invaded the Jin Kingdom. There was no word of loyalty and righteousness in their eyes. The Song army was urgently attacking them, so they surrendered to the Song Dynasty. When the Mongolian cavalry was approaching, they transformed into the front of the Khan. When the Jin Kingdom freed up their hands to deal with them, they became the hard-core loyal ministers of the Jurchens in a blink of an eye.
The so-called family slaves of the three surnames will not be truly respected by the world in any era. Regardless of whether they are the final winners.
But there are still people who need them.
The generals of Jinghu who have fully accepted these stray dogs were the generals of Jinghu.
It goes without saying that since ancient times, Hebei and Shandong were one of the important sources of soldiers of the Central Plains regime. The athletes in Yan, Zhao, Qi and Lu were tall, united and obedient. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties and Han Dynasties, they have always been a source of the core combat power of the empire. However, the children of Jiangnan were cowardly and smooth, and they were less utilitarian and brave. Compared with them, the generals were more willing to use northerners to fight.
The first one who actively strives for these northern military and horses was Zhao Fan, the ambassador of Jinghu to appease the regime. The Zhao regime envoy often had great strategies in his heart and took it as his responsibility to restore his ancestors and the country. These tens of thousands of northern troops were his capital for advancing north, so how could he accidentally protect it?
The second is the commander-in-chief Wang Min of Jing and E. He himself is in a competitive relationship with Jianghuai commander-in-chief Jianghai, the commander-in-chief Meng Gong, the commander-in-chief Li Hu of Zhenjiang, and Liu Hu of the commander-in-chief in the Yangtze River. The more military and horses, the more he has the weight in the court's mind.
We cannot blame Wang Min for this policy of winning over. Even Meng Gong, who was loyal, brave and majestic, sent people to bribe the generals of the Northern Army with 100,000 corundums and 100 acres of fertile land in Jinghu, and let them join their corps to serve.
The question is how to complete the integration of the two armies of the north and the south after taking these arrogant soldiers under their responsibilities, and integrate the two armies that are suspicious and guard against each other into a powerful fist.
Zhao Fan and Wang Min did not make any efforts in this regard, but only rewarded and won the generals of the Northern Army with wine and meat every day. This could only aggravate the suspicion in the hearts of the Northern Army soldiers and the further dissatisfaction of the Southern Army, which was already full of resentment, day by day.
This gives jackals the opportunity to operate from it.
In fact, he doesn't need to really operate anything. The differences in living habits between the north and the south, the huge instability of the Northern Army and the complaints that the Southern Army feels differently treated by the boss are constantly intensifying internal conflicts between the Jinghu army.
You just need to do a little bit of something inadvertently, which is enough to ignite this huge powder barrel that has been cultivated.
For example, those who run tea shops refuse to come in and drink tea or deliberately sprinkle feces at the gate of the South Army. Any small details of life will gradually expand and become a gap that sets the two armies against each other.
Of course, in this process, he also had to deal with the obstruction of spontaneous patriots like the Lai family, the generals under Jinghu and the heroes from the world.
The way to deal with these troublemakers is to solve them one by one. For example, he sent people to assassinate the Lai family's young lady five times, but the Lai family's wife himself had excellent martial arts skills and was also in and out of the heavily guarded Zhiyingtian General Office, which is of course not easy to succeed.
The way to deal with the jackal was to do a two-pronged approach, lit a fire elsewhere, let the spies and the people from the south gossip in the rivers and lakes go to rush, and then set up some traps to wait for them to take the bait. It resolved the efforts of the underground organizations of the Song Dynasty through casual conversation.
Today alone, the Mongolian altars set fire in three different places. Shi Wenhu tracked them to the armory in the west of the city and was about to stop them from continuing to commit the crime, but suddenly they were ambushed by the opponent's heavy troops. Despite several battles, they finally failed to escape the siege of the jugers.
He posed a sword and said proudly: "Will the rats who work hard for the Tartars only rely on the number of people to win? Come up! Let you see the power of the Wind-Splashing Sword Technique!"
The six people on the other side stood up with their weapons, intending to fight and eliminate this southerner with extraordinary martial arts.
Suddenly, one person snatched forward a few steps and threw himself to the ground.
There was a broken arrow in his heart behind him.
