Chapter 234 Our Scouts and Secret Agents
After He Lianyan left, He Lianchun convened a discussion.

"Recently, we must not slack off in the drills. The food and grass are ready. Once Chen Zhou makes a big attack, we have to wait for the fire."

"Yes."

The civil and martial arts under his command dispersed.

He Lianchun sat there like a mountain of meat.

"The defeat of Lin Ya made those people feel stagnant. It seems that the emperor's plan has succeeded. But after those defeated soldiers returned, they mentioned that the reinforcements were close at hand, but they refused to reinforce them. Instead, they set up an ambush in the rear. This is a big battle!"

Roshan moved, "Huang Chunhui's old dog is as cunning as a fox, and has been refusing to fight. It's a rare good opportunity, and he should have fought with all his strength, but the emperor's mind is full of power struggles, but he has forgotten the art of war. "

"Lin Ya was defeated. It seemed that those opponents were frustrated, but the emperor's act of putting Jiangshan behind completely chilled those people, so they became more and more huddled together. I don't know if it is good or bad."

"But good or bad has nothing to do with this king?"

Roshan laughed, and his fat body trembled wildly.

"The emperor is suspicious of this king. If you are suspicious, just be suspicious. People will come to investigate every now and then. What are you worried about? Worried about this king's rebellion? How can Te Niang's people in Tanzhou conspire against him?"

"This king has managed to save some money, food and troops. If that old dog Liu Qing can't help but send out an army this time, the three major ministries... I also have to afford an army, and force the three major ministries to join forces. Who will win?"

"The combination of the three ministries should not be underestimated. The disadvantage is that they are not affiliated with each other, unless the king leads an army to command. But once this is the case, Huang Chunhui in the northern border will inevitably move, and the war will start. Sigh... the emperor has such thoughts ?”

He Lianchun looked up, and cursed in a low voice: "You dog, sooner or later you will be killed in that position. I am waiting to see what happens to you. I will burn incense every morning and evening, pray for the gods to descend on their power, and slap you." Slap your dog to death. Hahahaha...uh!"

Footsteps came from outside, and a small official appeared outside the door in a short while, "Uncle Emperor, Ning Xing has a messenger."

He Lianchun stood up with difficulty, pushed the fat on his cheeks with both hands, and then went out.

Flattering voices echoed outside.

"How is Your Majesty? This king misses His Majesty every day in Tanzhou, burns incense every morning and evening, and prays for the gods to protect His Majesty in good health."

……

A team of Vache scouts patrolled behind the royal court on guard.

After Vaxie came the Tiger Control Department and Tanzhou, but according to Hua Zhuo's statement: Even if his brother Wahai was in charge of the Tiger Control Department, he would have to send scouts to patrol and guard.

It's not that the brothers are worried about turning their faces, but that the grassland tribes have a loose structure. Today's Khan may turn his head into a wine vessel in the hands of rebels tomorrow.

However, compared to the direction of Chenzhou, the scouts heading to the north will be much more relaxed and lazy.

In late autumn, the nomadic production of the herdsmen has come to an end. Now they are relocating, and the work of stockpiling fodder takes up all their time.

"Look, the flock, and the caravan."

A scout pointed joyfully at the front left.

"It's a woman! Several!"

Behind the flock of sheep, two large carts approached slowly, with a woman and three young girls on board.The girl is carefree, innocent and wild, which makes people's heart beat.

The accompanying hostess saw the scouts and dismounted with a smile.

"Dear warrior, we are moving."

The three girls looked at the scouts curiously, but the woman shouted vigilantly, "Turn your back, hurry up!"

But the three good-looking girls were seen by the scouts, and the leader of the scouts coughed dryly, "What did you bring in the car?"

The male host noticed those strange gazes cast behind him, he smiled and said: "It's all home stuff, food stuff."

"check!"

The host smiled and said, "It's easy to say."

More than a dozen scouts rushed over like wolves and tigers.

The woman got out of the car with the three girls to avoid it.

"Look!" A scout pulled out his long knife and threw it on the cart, shouting: "This is our knife, thieves, no, they are secret spies! They are secret spies of the Tang people!"

"No!" The host knew that he had been framed, so he rushed to his wife and daughter.

The leader said coldly: "Kill him!"

"No!"

The woman stood in front of the man and tried her best to raise her chest to make the woman's features more prominent. She smiled charmingly and said, "I am willing to serve the warriors."

But the eyes of the warriors were behind her, on the three girls.

The leader sneered, "Kill both of them!"

The host drew out his long knife, his eyes were red, and he shouted, "Let's go!"

But the woman refused to leave, and turned around and shouted, "You guys go!"

The male host slapped his hand back and said angrily, "The lambs that lost their parents either died of freezing or starvation, or became food for wild beasts. You take them away!"

The woman's cheeks were gradually swollen, and her eyes were about to crack, "Then die together!"

The two stood in front of the daughters, their faces were pale, but they didn't take a step back!

The three girls were like chicks caught in a storm, shivering behind their parents.

The scouts grinned and approached.

The eyes are full of bloodshot eyes.

The long knife shone with a terrifying light.

Da da da!
The sound of horseshoes came quickly like light thunder.

The scouts stopped and looked sideways.

More than a hundred riders were galloping under the autumn sun, and the leader was wearing a windbreaker and a veil, and looked up to this side.

"Who is it?" The scouts looked around.

"It's from Liao!"

The leader of the scouts shouted: "Array!"

This is to be greeted.

More than a dozen scouts lined up behind him, everyone held their heads high.

More than a hundred riders approached, and the leader asked, "What's the matter?"

The host knew that this was the last chance for his family, so he dropped his knife and knelt down, shouting: "They want to kill the villain's family, please help me, the villain is willing to sacrifice all the cattle and sheep!"

Even if the whole family will freeze and starve to death this winter after offering cattle and sheep, it is good to live longer.

The leading knight glanced at the three pretty girls, and pulled down his veil, a bit of coldness appeared on his seductive face.

The leader of the scouts exclaimed, "Little man..."

"Beast!" The vixen's eyes became more stern, and she drew out her long knife.

"Slaughter them all!"

More than a hundred elites from the Northern Liao Dynasty charged forward.

"No!"

Amidst the blood splattering, the woman rode her horse to the front of the family.

She looked at the three girls, her eyes flashed with memories, and her eyes were gentle, "Come here, give them veils."

The entourage threw a bundle over, the woman opened it, and inside was a large piece of veil.

"My lord, the villain dare not."

"Accept it." Even though the woman smiled, she still had a vicious look, "The veil is not for them to cover up their faces, it will only attract attention. Remember to wipe your face dirty and ugly when you go out in the future."

This nobleman is so kind, we are saved.

The couple were overjoyed and kowtowed desperately.

The three girls were lively and somewhat hesitant.

The woman smiled, "Beauty will often become your sin, next time you encounter such a thing, you can report my name."

More than a dozen scouts were killed, and the woman got on the horse, and the woman rejoiced, "Dare to ask your honorable name."

"Helianyan!"

As a remnant of rebellion, she was cast aside by everyone since she was a child.After growing up, she became the prey of many powerful and powerful people with her charming appearance.Fortunately, she was alert and escaped crisis after crisis.

But when He Lianchun took her out to a banquet, she was drugged.Seeing the man who used to be an elder proudly walk over, she was desperate at that moment.But at this moment, the emperor arrived, and the man who took off most of his clothes bent over and rushed out in embarrassment.

"drive!"

Helianyan arrived at the Vasie royal court like a whirlwind.

"Miss Helian?" Hua Zhuo was a little surprised by Helianyan's arrival.

"I just killed a team of your scouts." He Lianyan unbuttoned his windbreaker and loosened it casually.The entourage behind him took the windbreaker, and immediately stretched out his hand to stop the Vache nobles who wanted to follow Helianyan and Hua Zhuo into the tent.

"Why?" Hua Zhuo's eyes darkened.

"A bunch of beasts."

Hua Zhuo took a deep breath, "But Uncle Huang has orders?"

"The envoy from Daliao went to Tao County, and what he said made Huang Chunhui furious. Chen Zhou may send troops to attack the three major ministries. You have to be careful."

Hua Zhuo's heart trembled, "Will the northern Xinjiang army be dispatched?"

He Lianyan shook her head, "No."

Hua Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, "Then what am I afraid of?"

He Lianyan didn't want to stay any longer, so she got up and said, "That's all I have to say, I was accidentally killed, so don't blame the emperor when I get underground."

Seeing the annoyance and alertness in Hua Zhuo's eyes, she knew her mission was accomplished.

After leaving the royal court, she looked at the south and murmured, "Can the business still be done?"

……

"Although I don't know what the Liao envoy did in Tao County, but getting Helian Yan to warn us means that the Tang people on the opposite side may go crazy." Hua Zhuo was a little annoyed.

"This is the trouble caused by the Liao people." General Song Ge sneered.

Someone said faintly: "The Liao people regard us as shields and swords and guns."

This is a beautiful word.

Everyone knows that the Liao people treat them like dogs and never feed them.

Hua Zhuo looked at the rich and powerful generals who were getting fatter, and he was furious, "Look at your belly, can you still mount a horse to fight? Can you still ride a horse at gallop? Even if you bend down, your face will be red."

Everyone was silent, but most of them didn't take it seriously.

"Stop the trade with Taiping!" Hua Zhuo warned.

But no one said anything.

The trade with Taiping has made these people very profitable.In the past, they could only exploit the cattle and sheep of those small tribes.But what can you do with too many cattle and sheep?Do you use mutton to rinse your mouth?

It's different now, they can take the cattle, sheep and furs to Taiping and sell them in exchange for various goods from Datang.

Hua Zhuo took a deep breath, "Zemen!"

A dignitary raised his head, "What's the matter?"

"I heard that your son is now stationed in Taiping!"

"Nothing."

"So where is he now?"

"He went on a tour!"

"You are humiliating my wisdom, and even more so my authority!"

The door sneered.

Hua Zhuo yelled, "Wahai!"

The door curtain flew in with a pop, and the figure flickered.

The door shouted sharply, "Do it!"

The two dignitaries drew their swords with him.

Knife light flickered.

The figure flickered in the gap between the blades, and the right hand continued to shoot.

Puff puff!
The figure flew to Hua Zhuo's side and stood still.

It's Wahai!
Compared with the time when he intercepted and killed Yang Xuan, his aura became more powerful.

Men Ze and the two dignitaries fell to the ground, looking intact, but blood was slowly flowing from the seven orifices on his face.Especially in the nostrils, after the blood had passed, something grayish-white flowed out.

Hua Zhuo's eyes were piercing, "Ben Khan killed the old thief with a single knife, thousands of people inside and outside the tent all prostrated in front of him, no one dared to look at Ben Khan. Today you are waiting for dozens of people, what do you want?" for?"

Everyone bowed their heads, not daring to look at him.

Hua Zhuo shouted: "Gather the warriors of all ministries and be alert!"

Frightened by his power, everyone agreed in unison.

After leaving the big account, someone complained, "We should have launched a trouble together just now."

After they left, Brother Huazhuo came out.

Wahai said coldly: "Why don't you kill them all?"

"I originally wanted to kill them all, but after killing them all, I have to suppress their cronies. Unexpectedly, at this time, the Chenzhou army may make a surprise attack, and there is no time to wait."

"Pity."

"It's a pity, but there is still a chance next time."

The two entered the big tent, the backs of the tents on both sides were opened, and warriors in armor came out with weapons in hand.

Teams of warriors gathered, looking at the dignitaries who mounted their horses and left with indifferent eyes.

It's like looking at a group of dead people!
……

Scouts were sent out intensively to inquire about the movements of the Vasie Department.

The expressions of the officials became much more serious, and the grain and grass hoarded in the city were continuously transported outside the city.Businessmen are one of the most sensitive groups in the world, and they began to talk a lot.

"I'm afraid there will be a fight."

"Autumn is tall and horses are fat, it is a good time to fight."

"Where to hit? I'm afraid it's the Jibo Department."

"Yes, the Jibo Department offended Chen Zhou last time. Now that the autumn grain is harvested, it's time to take revenge."

Some people asked for information from a familiar official, but they hit a wall.

"This attitude is trying to hide it!"

"Here comes the merchant again."

A new batch of Vache merchants brought news.

"The royal court has assembled an army."

"The elites of all ministries are concentrated in the royal court."

"Khan's guards will go to urge those warriors to practice every day."

The atmosphere was tense, and countless eyes looked at the county magistrate.

"Will the deal be cut off?" Businessmen on both sides were worried.

Rumors are the most common thing in this world, and then the news that Taiping wants to expel the Vache merchants was widely circulated in the market.

"The Ming government said that they are worried that there will be secret spies inside to inquire about the news, and they are even more worried that someone will sabotage!"

"Yes! Both sides are going to fight, there is no reason to keep the other party's people."

"Hey! Where are those Tang people who ventured to Vache to do business?"

"They came back a long time ago, and one died."

The Vache merchants were silent, and the fear in their hearts reached its peak.

County backyard.

"Second, remember to protect your husband." Yiniang put on armor for Yang Xuan.

"Oh!"

Wang Laoer stuffed the jerky into his mouth while responding casually.

Bah!
Yiniang slapped him and said angrily, "Didn't you hear that?"

"I heard it." Wang Lao Er was rough-skinned and thick-skinned, he moved his back nonchalantly, nothing happened.

"You know how to eat meat, what else would you do besides eating meat?" Yiniang hated that iron can't be made into steel.

Wang Lao Er said, "Yiniang, I can still eat pancakes."

Yi Niang: "..."

"what!"

After a while, Wang Laoer's screams like killing a pig came from the backyard of the county house.

Yang Xuan led the people to the front.

Cao Ying was also waiting with someone.

"I have seen Ming Palace."

Two thousand and five Taiping troops attacked, while the opponent's army was [-].

This was an attack that made Taiping officials desperate.

Cao Ying said: "Your Majesty, the scouts haven't come back yet."

Yes!

How to attack without news of the enemy?
The officials looked at Yang Xuan worriedly.

"The merchants outside will bring me the latest news, which is more accurate and comprehensive than the scouts." Yang Xuan walked out of the county.

Yang Sima in military uniform came out.

The officials looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Get news from the merchant?"

"Those merchants are from Vache! How could they betray Vache?"

"Sima is probably too optimistic."

The businessmen gradually gathered together.

The Vache merchants gathered together and muttered, and Nan He sent people to drive them away.

"No need." Yang Xuan said comfortably: "This is our scout spy."

Nan He: "..."

A Vache merchant stopped a small official and said loudly with a smile on his face: "Can the villain's tax be paid later?"

The little official was furious and shouted: "You want to take advantage of the fire too?"

The businessman looked panic-stricken, and said in a low voice: "The Wang Ting's army looks like [-], and the dignitaries below are dissatisfied. I heard that some of them were killed by the Khan. The villain is guilty, and the villain is confused..."

The little official was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously began to perform, "Dare to do this again next time, and get out of Taiping!"

"Yes Yes Yes."

The little official quietly passed by, and said in a low voice: "He said that the royal court of Vache had gathered an army of [-], and the dignitaries below were dissatisfied with Hua Zhuo, and several of them were reportedly killed by Hua Zhuo."

Yang Xuan looked at Nan He and the others.

"As I said, there will be scouts and spies."
