Chapter 489 Fake news and the mandarin duck formation
It is magical to say the least, or in other words, everyone within the team now has an amazing tacit understanding.
In short, when the three Fengrui people in the Yanshan area were worrying about how to kill Yaoshi Guo, such an important goal.
Yu Hanfeng, who was thousands of miles away, used Erhei, that is, Haidongqing, the second fat one, to communicate with the Hu Biaos in Zhuxian Town several times.
It was finally decided how to use Geng Nanzhong as an internal agent.
Send out some false news that they want Jin people to know and bring about some changes.
Among the quite a lot of false news, the one with the highest priority is about Guo Yaoshi, the commander-in-chief of the ever-victorious army in the Northland at the moment.
After careful planning, all the traps were laid out, just waiting for Geng Nanzhong to step into them...
On the eighth day of October, at 3:30 p.m., that is, after 9:45 p.m.
At this moment, in the huge city of Kaifeng, due to the curfew imposed during the war, except for some workshops under the Ministry of Industry, the lights are still bright.
In other places, people have turned off the lights early and gone to bed, making everything look dark.
And right inside the palace, there is the political hall next to the Daqing Hall.
In the name of the Song Dynasty, Geng Nanzhong, the prime minister of the dynasty, who was nominally less than one person but more than ten thousand people and the head of hundreds of officials, was reviewing various official documents with his head lowered under an oil lamp no bigger than a bean.
He looked very focused.
This situation only changed after someone knocked on the door of the room and Geng Nanzhong said "Come in".
I saw an older eunuch and a young eunuch carrying a food box, and they both walked into the room.
The old eunuch signaled to the young eunuch, put down the food box and quickly exited. At the same time, he walked to the desk, picked up a hairpin and adjusted the wick.
Immediately, the brightness of the room more than doubled.
After doing the above, the old eunuch said:
"The Za family naturally knew that Mr. Geng was devoted to serving the country and always thinking about saving money for the court, but it was fine not to light candles and even refused to light up the oil lamps. This approach was a bit inappropriate.
If his eyes were damaged, wouldn't it be a great loss to the court?"
At this time, Geng Nanzhong happened to be reviewing an official document in his hand. After putting down his brush and waiting for the ink to dry, he immediately started acting.
With his hands clasped in fists, he raised his hand to signal once in the direction of Queen Maode's palace.
He said with great righteousness: "Now that the Jin soldiers are approaching, Geng, a scholar, cannot lead his army to kill the enemy like Privy Envoy Hu, but he still has to help with daily official documents.
It doesn't matter if the oil lamp is slightly dimmed, as long as the handwriting on the official document can be clearly seen.
Although the little kerosene saved in this way is not much, it may be able to produce one more bullet, allowing the New Army to kill one more Jin man in the war."
Good guy! Under such a statement as Geng Nanzhong.
Where is the appearance of the famous capitulationist from the Song Qinzong period, who always shouted that the Jin people were invincible, and joined forces to squeeze Li Gang out of Kaifeng City.
After a good performance, he asked the eunuch who was Queen Maode's confidant in front of him:
"My lord, I wonder what you have ordered me to do here late at night?"
After hearing this sentence, the prince who seemed to be deeply moved reacted; he wiped away his tears, lifted up the food box in his hand, opened it and took out the covered dishes one by one.
At the same time, he also opened his mouth to explain:
"The officials were very touched when they found out that Mr. Geng, in order to save more money and food to support the war effort, stayed up late every day and only ate two meals a day.
This doesn't mean that someone has prepared a drink and some snacks for you to fill your stomach, sir.
By the way! There is also an urgent memorandum here. The officials are a little undecided, and Privy Envoy Hu and others are too far away, so they asked me to come over and ask Mr. Geng what he meant."
The so-called ‘yinzi’ is actually a royal drink processed from milk and dried fruits.
Geng Nanzhong used to follow Song Qinzong Zhao Heng. He didn't drink less when he was an official in the East Palace, but he didn't mind it.
What really interested him was the contents of the memorial that even Queen Maud was unsure about.
After taking a few sips of drinks and eating a few pastries.
I just picked up the memorial and read it quickly.
Only halfway through reading it, Geng Nanzhong was overwhelmed with emotion; because this memorial was handed over by Yu Hanfeng, the commander of the Jin Yiwei.
Guo Yaoshi of the Ever-Victorious Army in the North, after their long-term contact and lobbying, has initially agreed to surrender.
However, before surrendering, I hope Her Majesty the Queen will promise a few things; one of them is a promise not to pursue the original behavior of Medical Master Guo in bringing Yanjing to seek refuge with the Jin people.
He also promised to reward him as King of Yan, with full authority to rule the sixteen states of Yanyun.
Each year, how much food, weapons, armor and other matters need to be supported to support him.
From Geng Nanzhong's perspective, he could naturally see that although the above request was a bit excessive, he could definitely agree to it; because as long as Medicine Master Guo returned to the Song Dynasty, it would represent some astonishing and huge benefits.
Even if it is done properly, it can cut off the Jin people's retreat from attacking the Song army and make their military morale chaotic.
But such a result is something Geng Nanzhong absolutely does not want to see; he has been tied to the Jin people for a long time, and now there is no way back.
However, he also knew that he could never object to such a good thing in front of him on the spot.
Otherwise, I am afraid that it will soon arouse the suspicion of Yu Hanfeng, an important member of Hu Yitong's party.
Immediately, he wrote down the opinions he agreed with on a piece of paper and inserted them into the memorial again.
Then, Geng Nazhong and Geng Xianggong usually have to stay at the political hall at least and work overtime and stay up until at least after twelve o'clock on weekdays.
Today, I excused myself from feeling unwell and hurriedly got into a donkey cart and went home.
Just hiding in the shabby donkey cart, Geng Nanzhong, who has been quite simple lately, didn't know that he was thinking about delivering such a message back tonight.
His whereabouts have always been under the surveillance of Jin Yiwei.
Especially Yu Hanfeng, after looking at the intelligence that was constantly being collected, he felt a moment of silence in his heart for the three-surnamed family slave, Yaoshi Guo.
The problem is that even the instigator doesn't know how the subsequent situation will develop, how explosive it will be...
****
At the same time, in Xiangzhou on the north bank of the Yellow River.
A battle between the Song and Jin Dynasties was also going on overnight.
Wanyan Yan Mu, the commander-in-chief of the Jin Dynasty's Eastern Route Army in the Song Dynasty, watched as her warriors finally passed the ladder and climbed up the wall of Xiangzhou City one after another.
Immediately, I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart.
In fact, before sending troops this time, he knew that their Eastern Route Army, which only had 60,000 people, only needed to contain the Yue Family Army of the Song Dynasty.
But the key point is that Wanyan Yanmu is not willing to give in! As a veteran who followed Wanyan Agu to fight, he had dared to launch a war to destroy the country with thousands of people in the past.
How can you bring 60,000 people with you just to contain your opponent?
Therefore, after leading the army all the way to Xiangzhou, he built a series of siege equipment, drove the civilians and the captured Song people, and gradually filled up the trenches of the moat with earth.
Then during the official siege, everything became a huge nightmare for him.
According to the prisoners' accounts, the Song people said that muskets, artillery, grenades and other equipment caused them to suffer too much and killed too many of their warriors.
Fortunately, today, they finally rushed to the city wall.
As long as the city gate is opened, fifteen thousand cavalry, including his five thousand elite cavalry, will put the war in Xiangzhou away from suspense.
But in the following time, Wanyan Mu discovered that no matter how many warriors he had, they jumped behind the city wall along the ladder, but they seemed to have completely disappeared.
Coupled with the situation where the sound of muskets became louder and louder, everything made him feel unspeakably flustered.
That was where Wanyan Yan's mother couldn't see. The golden soldiers jumped off the wall one by one, and their whole body became numb.
Why? These Jin people enjoyed Qi Jiajun's Yuanyang Town hospitality hundreds of years in advance.
The improved wolf spear more than four meters long and the spear more than three meters long made it difficult for them to rush over and fight; the two large shields on the left and right blocked the possibility of them throwing throwing axes.
The most terrible thing is that I haven't figured out how to deal with it yet.
The sound of firecrackers sounded and knocked them to the ground.
It's night! Wanyan's mother's army is at the top of the city. After losing almost two thousand elite soldiers, she finally accepted the cruel reality that she couldn't defeat this place and could only barely hold back the Yue family's army.
Then the two sides entered the confrontation, waiting for the outcome of the main battlefield in Kaifeng City...
