Jia Ke came out of the big tent and saw that all the troops outside were already in formation, waiting for Jia Ke's orders.
Jia Ke stood on a high place and shouted to the soldiers: "I, Jia Ke, were ordered to go north to defend the court against the Tatars. Who knew there was a traitor in the court who wanted to take my life on the way."
Jia Ke said that the soldiers below were in an uproar. Although they were ordinary soldiers, they also knew Jia Ke's bravery. During the several Tatar invasions, Jia Ke worked hard and drove the Tatars out of the Central Plains.
Therefore, Jia Ke has become a legend among ordinary soldiers, and his worship has become a routine among soldiers everywhere. However, the leading officers never stopped this phenomenon and only contributed to it. Therefore, among ordinary soldiers
In the hearts of soldiers, Jia Ke is synonymous with the God of War.
Now when I hear Jia Ke say this, I feel a little angry.
I saw a hundred households underground shouting loudly: "Commander, take us back to the capital to eliminate the traitors and protect the emperor."
As soon as this man finished speaking, he immediately ignited the emotions of the soldiers below, and hundreds of thousands of people followed him and shouted: "Get rid of the traitors and protect the imperial court."
Seeing this situation, Jia Ke nodded with satisfaction. His arrangement was indeed effective.
Jia Ke saw that the military spirit was available, so he said: "In that case, I will take you into the capital, clean the emperor's side, eliminate the traitors and keep the dynasty strong."
After Jia Ke finished speaking, he said to the six Jiedu envoys and the general soldiers: "Form your team immediately, the front team becomes the rear team, and the rear team becomes the front team and set off for the capital."
The six people knelt on the ground together and said loudly: "I will obey the Lord's order."
Next, each of the six of them returned to their own teams, and the two hundred thousand horses turned around and headed straight for the capital.
Let’s talk about the spy sent by the emperor to Lei Ying. When Lei Ying entered the Chinese army’s tent, he was expecting good news so that he could pass it on to the emperor in the capital as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, what was waiting for him was bad news. When the spy arrived at the pre-arranged information transmission point, one of his men came over in a hurry and said, "Sir, something serious has happened."
The spy stood up immediately and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Master Lei has been defeated. These Jiedushi envoys have taken refuge with Jia Ke at some point. Now Jia Ke is gathering troops. It seems that he is going back to the capital for revenge."
When the spy heard this, he was scared to death. It was originally a foolproof strategy, but now it has turned into this situation. If Jia Ke rebels at this time, and everyone in the capital is Jia Ke's direct descendant, what will the emperor do then?
?
The spy thought for a while and said to his subordinate: "You go back and continue to lurk. Don't let anyone discover your abnormality. I will send a letter to the emperor to report the situation here." So they dispersed.
Soon after, a homing pigeon took off from Jia Ke's military camp and headed south.
The homing pigeon had just flown away when it was discovered by Jia Ke's men.
Jia Ke also placed some spies in the military camp just to incite the soldiers' emotions. Although they did not specifically monitor the situation in operations, they still knew the basic principles.
A homing pigeon among these people took off from a certain tent in the business, and then flew in the direction of the southern capital. There were some differences at first.
Which colleague was going to send a message to the capital? But after asking each other, they found that it was not their manpower.
That's okay, this must be a spy sent by the emperor. He has seen the situation clearly and is delivering news to the capital.
They did not dare to neglect, and the leader among them hurried towards Jia Ke's Chinese army tent.
After that, the watching leader reported to Jia Ke that he had just discovered the flying pigeon passing the message in the camp.
After Jia Ke learned the news, he understood that this was the emperor's secret guard who had infiltrated into his military camp and was delivering a message to the emperor.
Lei Ying must have known about this, and Jia Ke didn't care anymore at this point, and immediately ordered the spies to torture Lei Ying, making sure to make him tell the number of secret guards in the military camp and who they were.
At the same time, Jia Ke did not place all his hopes on Lei Ying Tukou, because Jia Ke knew that Lei Ying was a stubborn person, and since he was loyal to the emperor, he would never betray him halfway.
Therefore, Jia Ke ordered the troops to temporarily stop operations and conduct a large search in the military camp.
As a result, it turned out that Lei Ying was just as Brother Jia had imagined. No matter how severely he was tortured, Lei Ying never uttered a single word.
And during the subsequent search of the whole camp, he actually received several spies. These people came with Lei Ying to contact the leaders of the secret guards lurking in Jia Ke's camp.
These people knew the situation of the secret guards in Jia Ke's camp very well, and they were not as stubborn as Lei Ying. After being tortured, they immediately told the truth clearly.
Originally, these people were specially trained in torture, and they would not have confessed so easily. However, they also saw that the emperor was defeated and had lost their faith in their hearts, so they confessed so easily.
Things became easier to handle next. Jia Ke's men arrested people one by one according to the list of confessions, and soon captured all the spies in the military camp.
Only now can Jia Ke be able to go south with peace of mind.
Besides, among the spies' strongholds in the capital, people are coming and going here, and they are very busy. All kinds of intelligence flying from all over the country are collected here, and then divided into priorities, and then sent to Xia Shouzhong, who will then follow the instructions
Report the seriousness of the matter to the emperor.
This was when the steward in charge of the pigeons suddenly saw a pigeon flying from the north and then landed in the pigeon box.
You must know that it is very difficult to raise homing pigeons, let alone carry them to distant places. Therefore, the news delivered by homing pigeons every time is extremely urgent.
The steward did not dare to neglect, so he quickly stepped forward and grabbed the pigeon with one hand. As expected, a bamboo tube was tied to the pigeon's foot.
The general manager untied the bamboo tube and immediately sent it to his superior. Then he reported the emergency and finally sent it to Dai Quan's godson Dai Lian.
Although Xia Shouzhong is now in charge of the secret guard, he still has Dai Quan's sake and has not moved Dai Lian's position. However, Dai Lian naturally knows that he has no backer, so he has been working hard and keeping his tail between his legs.
It was almost noon, and he was just about to go out for dinner when he suddenly saw his confidant eunuch running over quickly.
"Is there a problem?"
"Father, there are flying pigeons delivering messages. They are coming from the north."
When Dai Lian heard this, he immediately focused his attention. The eunuch immediately gave him a small bamboo tube. Dai Lian took it and took a closer look to see that the seal was not damaged at all.
Now Dai Lian didn't dare to neglect and didn't care about what to eat. He didn't dare to open the bamboo tube and ran directly to Xia Shouzhong.
Xia Shouzhong specifically told him a few days ago that the flying pigeon messages sent from the north during this period were not to be opened and read, but were sent directly to him for the emperor to read personally.
When Dai Lian came to Dongnuan Pavilion, Xia Shouzhong was still accompanying the emperor in Dongnuan Pavilion.
Dai Lian said to the young eunuch guarding the door: "Hurry in and tell Eunuch Xia that there is urgent information coming from the north."
The little eunuch naturally knew what Dai Lian was doing and what he said was extraordinary, so he turned around and entered Dongnuan Pavilion.
After the young eunuch entered the Southeast Branch, he saw Xia Shouzhong standing beside the emperor, waiting for the emperor's orders at any time.
The little eunuch quietly took a step forward and waved to Xia Shouzhong.
Xia Shouzhong had already practiced it a long time ago. He could see in all directions and listen in all directions. He glanced sideways and saw a little eunuch at the door waving to him. He immediately knew that there was something important. Otherwise, how could the little eunuch guarding the door dare to come in and disturb him?
The emperor.
So Xia Shouzhong glanced at the emperor gently and saw that the emperor was indifferent. He knew that the emperor had tacitly allowed him to pass. So he took two steps back, then turned around and walked down the imperial steps, along the wall to the door. It was not the same as this.
The little eunuch chatted and left Dongnuan Pavilion directly.
When Xia Shouzhong arrived outside Dongnuan Pavilion, he saw Dai Lian and immediately knew what the little eunuch was calling him for?
When Dai Lian saw his ancestor Xia coming out, he quickly took a few steps forward and said to Xia Shouzhong: "Minister, there are flying pigeons sent from the north to deliver the message. The younger one will send it to you immediately." After saying that, he took the small bamboo tube.
He held it in front of Xia Shouzhong with both hands.
Xia Shouzhong took the small bamboo tube with an expressionless face, checked that the seal on it was intact, and then looked at the number marked on it, and his expression immediately changed. This was the code name of the secret guard leader in Jia Ke's camp.
Xia Shouzhong didn't dare to neglect, and he didn't care about the people outside the door and went directly into Dongnuan Pavilion, taking three steps at a time and two steps at a time to come to the emperor.
"Long live my lord, the spies in Jia Ke's camp sent flying pigeons to pass the message." Xia Shouzhong said softly next to the emperor.
When the emperor heard that Xia Shouzhong said that the letter was delivered by flying pigeons in Jia Ke's camp, the brush in his hand shook, staining a large area of the wrinkles underneath. However, he didn't care at all and threw the brush on the table.
Just reach out your hand.
Xia Shouzhong hurriedly sent the small bamboo tube to the emperor.
The emperor took the small bamboo tube and still looked at the seal first. Only a few people knew about Jia Ke's dealings this time. He didn't want to spread the news all over the city and let Jia Ke get the news.
After the emperor finished looking at the seal, he used a knife nearby to pry open the seal. He took out a roll of paper from a small bamboo tube. The emperor couldn't wait to open it and saw a few lines of small words written on it: Lei Ying was defeated.
All the generals have surrendered to Jia Ke, and Jia Ke has raised his troops to return to the capital, asking the emperor to make plans in advance.
When the emperor saw this, he was so frightened that his face turned pale. He did not expect that the originally foolproof plan would go wrong.
The emperor was a little at a loss now. Fortunately, he now remembered his adviser, "Quick, send Liu Yu a message and ask him to come to Dongnuan Pavilion to see me immediately."
Xia Shouzhong listened to the emperor's order and ran out without asking anyone else to come. Xia Shouzhong left Dongnuan Pavilion and ran towards the military aircraft with all his strength.
When Xia Shouzhong arrived at the military aircraft, he heard a burst of laughter inside. He listened carefully and heard that the laughter was coming from Liu Yu.
Liu Yu has been very proud of himself during this period. Although he is not yet the head minister of the Military Aircraft Department, he has actually taken charge of the Military Aircraft Department. As long as he takes down Jia Ke this time, he will be able to claim his title.
