Chapter 310 Destroy the enemy nest

Zhao Yuan and Yang Huai were taken down. Zhong Shidao sat on the coach's chair with a serious expression and fell into deep thought. No one, including Li Yanqing and the soldiers around him, dared to disturb the coach.

Li Yanqing was also silent. He always thought that Tong Guan wanted to kill him, but the final result overturned his previous judgment. It was Gao Qiu who wanted to kill him.

Li Yanqing and Gao Qiu basically have no intersection, but they had several conflicts with Gao Yanei, but that kind of small conflict is far from being able to kill himself quickly. Why did Gao Qiu choose himself? This made Li Yanqing puzzled.

After a long time, Zhong Shidao asked Li Yanqing hoarsely, "Has the Xixia from Qingyuan County made a trick?"

"I have already confessed that there are seven detailed bases on Hedong Road, and there are three in Guangyang Qu County. I ask the general for advice on the commander, should I take it out in one fell swoop?"

"Do it! The points in Qingyuan County are dug, and you will notice them when you make detailed points elsewhere. You can't delay them. The entire Hedong Road will be dug out."

Zhong Shidao took a command arrow and handed it to Li Yanqing, "You are responsible for the three strongholds in Yangqu County. With this command arrow, you can mobilize a thousand people and take action immediately."

"Abide by the orders!"

Li Yanqing took the order but did not leave. He looked at Zhong Shidao worriedly. Zhong Shidao smiled and said, "Go quickly! I'm fine, but I'm just confused. Just calm down for a while."

Li Yanqing bowed with fists and turned around. Zhong Shidao walked to the window with his hands behind his back and stared blankly at the sky. The emperor trusted him so much that he and Taiwei Tong were responsible for the war against Xixia, but he used the wrong person himself, resulting in a large amount of important information leaked.

The ability of two hundred cavalry in Xixia to cross the border easily must have discovered defense loopholes on the border from the leaked information.

Zhong Shidao's heart was extremely heavy. Even if he killed Zhao Yuan, he could not deny his responsibility for using people inappropriately, and he could not erase his guilt.

Master Zhong sighed deeply, returned to the table, pondered for a moment, then unfolded a memorial, picked up the pen and wrote the two big words "resignation". He then wrote again: "I have been thrifty for a long time, and I have been preparing for war, actively preparing for war, and repay Your Majesty for many years of gratitude to destroy the Xixia Xiaoxiao. How could I not employ people properly?

On the streets of Yangqu County, a team of 300 soldiers were running in line. They rushed into the Wasi in Donghe and quickly surrounded the Beishan Restaurant at the entrance of Wasi. The soldiers rushed in and shouted: "Everyone is lying down!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the shopkeeper turned around and wanted to run away, but was knocked down by an agile soldier. The shopkeeper was so anxious that he shouted to several bartenders: "Go to the backyard to light the fire!"

In desperation, he actually shouted in Xixia language, but it was still too late. Dozens of soldiers rushed into the back door arrested all five bartenders. A large number of soldiers rushed into the restaurant and began a thorough search. At the same time, the Rentai Pharmaceutical Shop and Qianli Livestock Shop in Nancheng were also surrounded and seized by soldiers.

Half an hour later, Li Yanqing rushed to the Beishan Restaurant. Among the confessions made by Xixia, this restaurant was the intelligence center of Xixia on Hedong Road. It is said that there is a different world inside.

Li Yanqing walked into the restaurant, and the person in charge of searching the restaurant stepped forward and reported: "We found an entrance in the woodshed in the backyard, and we gained a lot."

Li Yanqing was a little interested. Could it be that there is another world underground?

When Li Yanqing came to the backyard, he saw several soldiers standing at the door of the woodshed. Li Yanqing walked to the door and looked at it. A stone slab on the floor of the woodshed was lifted, revealing a big dark hole.

"Is there a cellar below?" Li Yanqing asked.

Duo smiled and pointed to the next door, saying, "This hole leads to the next door!"

Li Yanqing couldn't help but be stunned. Why did he lead to the next door? Dutou explained again: "The next door is a two-acre house, but the gate is blocked from inside, so there is no way to enter at all. They all walk from the tunnel and join the army to follow me."

Dutou did not get into the tunnel, but took Li Yanqing out of the back door. The back door was a small alley with only two doors. The front door was rusty and had not been opened for a long time, but it had been opened at this time. This is the so-called unique place. The real intelligence center of Xixia is here.

Li Yanqing walked into the gate and was shocked. He saw that the yard was filled with various weapons, swords, spears, bows, crossbows, arrows, armor and shields, at least two thousand pieces, piled up like a hill. The soldiers kept carrying large wooden barrels from the room, full of tincture oil.

Seeing more than a dozen men tied up and covered their heads sitting in the corner of the yard, Li Yanqing asked, "Who are they?"

"They are all Western Xia warriors, and they were caught by us. According to a friend's instructions, once the war starts in Song Xia, hundreds of Western Xia warriors will sneak into here. They will riots in Yangqu County, burning the whole city and directly hitting our rear."

Li Yanqing was secretly shocked when he heard this. Yangqu County is the rear of Hedong Road and a major logistics location. If something happens in Yangqu County, it will seriously affect the morale of the soldiers in the front. This time, it was lucky enough to dig out the foundation of Xixia lurking in Yangqu County. So Xixia will not continue to ambush?

It seems that I want to persuade the general to strengthen the anti-detailed work of Yangqu County, and not be careless at all.

Li Yanqing gave a few more instructions and left the Beishan Restaurant. When he returned to the military yamen, he happened to meet Yang Zaixing. Yang Zaixing said to him: "I just went to the Dahuaishu Lane. Liu's house was empty. Before our people could monitor it, I had to ask the neighbors around me. One of them said that before dawn, several ox carts were parked at the gate, and the people inside should have evacuated."

Li Yanqing no longer has any interest in Dahuaishu Lane. After all, he is Gao Qiu's person. If there is no conclusive evidence, he really cannot arrest people, otherwise he will cause a lot of trouble in the end.

"Just leave! Don't worry about them, where is the handsome man?"

"The Grand Marshal will come to Beijing overnight tonight!"

"What!"

Li Yanqing stopped suddenly and was extremely surprised, "Why?"

"The Grand Marshal refused to say that I guess I want to go to Beijing to apologize!"

Li Yanqing was really shocked by the news. They arrested Yang Huai and Zhao Yuan just to avoid Gao Qiu using this matter to impeach Zhong Shidao, but in the end, Zhong Shidao wanted to return to Beijing to apologize. Isn’t this correct Gao Qiu’s thoughts?

Yang Zaixing sighed, "The Grand Marshal is a straightforward man. He never shirks his responsibilities. Zhao Yuan happened. He felt that he had the responsibility of failing to supervise the situation, so he wanted to return to Beijing to apologize to the emperor."

Li Yanqing was speechless. Although he respected Zhong Shidao's character, it was difficult for Zhong Shidao to survive in the cruel court of fighting. Li Yanqing could only comfort himself, 'Maybe the Grand Marshal just wanted to make this clear before Gao Qiu impeached him!'

At this time, the secretary Cao Qing walked out and saw Li Yanqing head-on, "Li joined the army and happened to meet you. The general invited you to come in."

"Did the Grand Marshal say something?"

"You'll know when you go."

After pausing, Cao Qing said again: "I'll give you a piece of advice. Once the general makes a decision, even the ten cows can't be brought back. You can keep silent in some things!"

Li Yanqing nodded silently, he knew what he should do.

When he walked into the inner hall, Zhong Shidao immediately asked with a smile: "How? You have gained a lot!"

"The harvest was unexpectedly large. We seized at least two thousand weapons, armor, weapons, crossbows, tinder oil, everything at Beishan Restaurant, which was shocking."

Zhong Shidao was also stunned. Two thousand weapons, what do you want to do?

"The restaurant staff told me that Xixia wanted to create riots in Yangqu County when the Song and Xia war broke out and disrupt our military morale in the rear."

Mr. Zhong was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but sigh softly: "It's really a vicious plan!"

The front-line army in Yangqu may not know, but it will definitely shake the court's determination to attack Xixia.

"It's indeed very cruel. Although we seized a large number of weapons this time, it is difficult to ensure that the people of Xixia will not make a comeback again. Beizhi recommends that from today, strictly inspect every person entering the city. It is strictly forbidden to bring any weapons into the city to prevent sand from gathering into towers."

Zhong Shidao nodded, "Your suggestions are very good, I will order implementation immediately. In addition, I have decided to formally appoint you as a director to join the army. If I am not in the military camp for this time, you will be more responsible."

Li Yanqing bowed and said, "The humble position will not disappoint the general!"

.........

When Li Yanqing returned to his official room in the military yamen, he had to worry about the fate of Zhong Shidao. Zhong Shidao's fate was directly related to his own destiny. He had just gotten on the right track. Once Zhong Shidao was replaced by the commander, I'm afraid that all the important officials under him would have to be replaced, and he really had to go back to the Baojing Army Jiedu Mansion to be a subordinate.

Although Li Yanqing also knew that his people were slight, no matter what, he tried his best to help the master.

Li Yanqing immediately wrote a text message to Liang Shicheng at the table, put it in an envelope and sealed it. He wrote another note, put it in another large envelope with the letter, and sealed it carefully, and wrote on the large envelope, "Father Li Daqi personally opened it."

Li Yanqing pondered for a moment and then found a soldier he trusted more. The soldier was named Yang Liang, a fellow villager with Li Yanqing, from Tangyin, Xiangzhou. He was only eighteen years old this year. He has been responsible for running back and forth between the military camp and the military yamen for Li Yanqing, very clever.

Li Yanqing took out twenty taels of silver and handed them to him, "Twenty taels of silver are for your money. You go to Bianjing and find Baoyanzhai Rouge Shop in the Imperial Street in the inner city, and handed the letter to the shopkeeper Sun inside. He is a female shopkeeper. Please pass the letter to my father. Remember, tell her that the letter must be opened by my father himself."

Li Yanqing repeated it again, and Yang Liang clasped his fists and said, "Please don't worry, I will definitely deliver the letter!"

Li Yanqing arranged an official pass sign and a horse for Yang Liang. Then Yang Liang turned over and ran towards Bianjing after Master Zhong Dao overnight.
