The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1588 Information Transmission

Another day.

dawn.

In Jingzhao Mansion, which is heavily guarded by soldiers, there are light cavalry from the Yuan army heading towards Sanyuan City along the official road like a torrent. In such a dry season, yellow dust billows endlessly on the official road.

There is a Baixishi shop in Jingzhao Mansion.

There are yellow sails hanging outside the shop.

Such a pavement is still a bit unlucky for ordinary people, and it will appear quite deserted in ordinary times.

What is unknown is that this shop is actually the main hall of the Military Intelligence Department in Jingzhao Mansion.And it is the main hall in the entire Jingzhao Mansion.

In addition to this main hall, the Military Intelligence Department also has a dark hall in Jingzhao Mansion.

The main hall is responsible for sorting out the information in the entire Jingzhao Mansion, and then sending it to various places.And that dark hall is to collect all kinds of news in Jingzhaofu city.

As for the spies of the Military Intelligence Department, no one knew who they were except that Xuanxue had a detailed list of them.

It is not without reason that the Military Intelligence Department was able to completely suppress the Yuan Dynasty's spider web in terms of intelligence in less than ten years after its establishment.

The espionage skills handed down by Zhao Dongting are many, many years ahead of this era.

The two thousand Qingqi just left the city not long ago, when some common people walked into this white wedding shop.

Entering the house, he said to the boy in the shop: "Two coins of yellow paper, three incense sticks, and three candles."

While saying this, he still gestured vaguely.

The boy had never seen this man.

Because those responsible for inquiring information in Jingzhao Mansion are all old faces, but those who deliver information change quickly.

It is impossible that someone needs to go in and out of Baishishi shop frequently.

In a place like Jingzhao Mansion, there must be people from the Yuan Dynasty's spider web. If even the news is delivered by old faces, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.

After looking at this person a few times, the young boy said: "The business is too small, so I don't want to do it."

The man said again: "Both big and small are businesses. Since opening a shop, how can there be any reason not to cater to customers from all over the world?"

The boy nodded and said, "Then I have to ask my master!"

Then they walked towards the inside.

This person answered all the passwords correctly.

Soon a man with a goatee who looked like a shopkeeper about five or sixty years old followed the boy out.

Go to the counter and ask, "What do you need?"

The man replied: "Just buy some incense candles."

The shopkeeper asked the boy to fetch incense candles for him.

The man asked again, "How much?"

The shopkeeper said: "Fifteen patterns."

The man took out the money from the purse and handed it to the shopkeeper.

At this time, the servant also came over with some incense candles and put them in front of the man.

No more words.

The man walked out of the shop with a candle in his hand.

The shopkeeper also walked to the back of the shop.

until his own room.

Spreading his hand, apart from the fifteen copper plates, there was a small piece of paper.

The numbers on the small note are densely packed.

The shopkeeper found the booklet corresponding to the secret language from under the bed, and translated each of them into words corresponding to the numbers.

The 2000 yuan army went to Sanyuan, two Zhenwu Realm and five Shangyuan Realm went together.

When these words appeared on the paper one by one, the shopkeeper frowned slightly.

The Military Intelligence Department has spies in the garrison of Jingzhao Mansion, and they are not ordinary soldiers. It is not difficult to obtain such information.The difficulty now is how to pass the message out.

Chai Liren stationed an army of tens of thousands of yuan in Jingzhao Mansion, surrounded the entire Jingzhao Mansion, and put martial law across the board.It is not an exaggeration to say that even a carrier pigeon cannot fly out.

Moreover, places like Jingzhaofu Main Hall usually have no carrier pigeons.Carrier pigeons are always too easily exposed.

In the past, information about the Jingzhao Mansion was passed on to Changsha by spies at various levels.

The military intelligence department allocates a very large amount of travel expenses to these spies every year.

After a while, the shopkeeper came out of the room and asked the boy, "Is there any family in the neighborhood who needs to go out of the city for burial?"

The boy thought for a while and replied: "The old father who is the shopkeeper of the pawn shop seems to be going out of the city today to be buried."

The shopkeeper asked again: "The funeral procession was introduced by us?"

The boy nodded and said, "Yes."

"That's good!"

The shopkeeper's face showed a little joy, and he said: "You watch in the shop, I'll go to shopkeeper Zhang's house."

Then he went out of the shop.

The Military Intelligence Department is an extremely large organization. In the main hall of Jingzhao Mansion alone, there are no less than ten people who specialize in passing information and outside the city.

Most of them are regular merchants, and they can use the guise of buying and selling goods.

Of course, there are other identities.

It's just the kind of identity that has enough reason to go out of town when it's ordinary.

And the spies arranged in the mourning band are specially designed to deal with this special situation.

Because no one would stop a funeral procession, whether it was a war or not.Because it is inhumane, and everyone feels unlucky.

In this era, the concept of "the dead are the greatest" is very important.

When I went to shopkeeper Zhang's pawn shop, it was very lively.

Shopkeeper Zhang's old father had passed away for a few days. Although it was the time of war and chaos, shopkeeper Zhang was not short of money, and all the things that needed to be done were taken care of.

All kinds of gongs and drums can be heard from a long distance.

When the shopkeeper arrived, it was the people in the pawn shop who were planning to bury Zhang Zhang's old father.

The shopkeeper jumped straight into the crowd who were beating gongs and drums, and said to one of them, "Old Li, here it is!"

Old Li said: "The shopkeeper introduced us to another job?"

He was the spy of MI in this mourning band.The shopkeeper of Baixishi Shop used to introduce business to this funeral band through him.

The attitude of the rest of the shopkeepers is also very kind, and they all smile.

The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "There is no business, I just came to see if you are working hard for shopkeeper Zhang."

Then he leaned into Old Li's ear and said in a low voice: "The 2000 Yuan army has two more True Martial Realm and five Shang Yuan Realm going to Sanyuan City. Send this news to Lantian."

The pawn shop was full of chaos, and no one else could hear what he said.

Old Li's face became a little more serious, and he nodded.

Afterwards, they followed the funeral relatives and the coolies who carried the old shopkeeper's coffin out of the shop.

The shopkeeper also went to his Baixishi shop on his own.

Speaking of which, the matter of passing messages is actually not complicated.It's just that if there is a little carelessness, every step will be dangerous.

Because although the spies of the spider web are not as good as the spies of the Military Intelligence, they can appear anywhere.

Not long after, the funeral procession arrived at the south gate of Jingzhao Mansion.Here, he was stopped by the Yuan army guarding the city and was questioned.

At such a critical juncture, the Yuan army's investigation was quite strict.

Everyone in the funeral procession was questioned and searched, and the coffin was even opened.

Only after seeing the rotten remains of the old shopkeeper inside, he hastily closed the coffin lid, waved his hands full of bad luck and said, "Go, go!"

What Lao Li wore on his head was nothing more than words, so he couldn't find anything.

The funeral procession leaves the city.

Outside the city, Old Li took a leave of absence from the leader of the mourning band and went to Lantian County alone.

He said that he wanted to take this opportunity to visit his relatives in Lantian County, and he didn't know how life was going after Lantian County was occupied by the Song army.

For such a reason, no one doubted him.

After all, Old Li has been with this mourning band for more than ten years, and everyone still knows the basics.

……

Guide Mansion in Nanjing Road.

Su Quandang led the army of the Jiankang Military Region to the city gate around noon.

When he was still on the road, Su Quandang had already let the soldiers take down Xiayi County before eating.

This kind of thing has the effect of boosting morale.

And when they arrived outside Xiayi County, there was no sign of the defenders above the city of Xiayi County.

Xu Fuxing deployed [-] troops on Mangdang Mountain, intending to use the natural danger of Mangdang Mountain to block the footsteps of the imperial army of the Song Dynasty.In Xiayi County, no soldiers were sent to guard it.

Afterwards, Wen Qi quickly captured Mount Mangdang, and the news spread to Xiayi County.The officials and defenders in Xiayi County were all panicked and did not dare to resist, so they hurried to Guidefu City.

Xu Fuxing also had no intention of sending heavy troops to guard Xiayi County. What he wanted was to keep Guide Mansion before the arrival of reinforcements who could not occupy the platform.

After Su Quandang observed the situation at the top of the city with a telescope, he sent soldiers into the city to investigate.

Then, it was logical to lead the army to station in Xiayi County, which seemed a little deserted.
