Di Lie decided to take the waterway, and the facts proved to be very correct. From the Bian River, he looked south and east, but he saw the forts adjacent to the villages and forts, with trenches and trenches standing in a row, with flags waving, the ground was not flat, and the mountain was not ten feet of wood. .This place in the heart of the Central Plains has been transformed into a large battlefield with strategic depth and complex intertwined conditions.

This is the Tokyo defense system that was built after more than half a year of hard work during the resignation of the Tokyo area. This defense system includes twenty-four strong fortresses with tens of thousands of troops stationed; and builds a scattered Lianzhu Village along the Yellow River. The troops were divided to guard it; at the same time, Kaifeng Prefecture was 72 miles from the river, and the sixteen counties under the government were responsible for defense, and the digging of trenches with a depth of more than meter each were ordered to plant Luzhai outside the ditches to prevent the impact of the Jin cavalry. Kaifeng to the south bank of the Yellow River has established a deep defense system, which is the most powerful defense facility in Kaifeng since the Song Dynasty.

If Di Lie and his party want to go on land, just passing through the defense zones between various forts is a troublesome thing. Even if Zong Ying, the leader, all kinds of inspections are indispensable. Time-consuming and troublesome, the news is the second. It is known to everyone, to attract people to be wary of and to cause trouble, which is the real big trouble.

There is no problem with the waterway. When the soldiers patrolled the Song army's fortresses met, they would at most ask on the shore. As soon as Zong Ying came forward, everything was solved. The defenders of each fortresses only knew that the Zong would recommend the officials. I returned home and watched across the river, but I couldn't see any other paths.

The warship traveled south smoothly, crossed Banqiao and turned east, less than three miles away, the west water gate of the outer city of Bianliang City was already far away...

When Di Lie and his soldiers of the Tianzhu Army were admiring the dense spider web defense system outside Bianliang City, the builder of this defense system, Zong Ze, the left-behind Tokyo, was on the bed in the backyard of the Left-behind Office. He lies on his side and closes his eyes, describing his withered appearance, and looks like he is terminally ill.

Looking for a foot in front of Zongze's bed, two middle-aged officials with purple robes and sashes were sitting. One on the left was a man with a strong appearance, big ears, slightly shy abdomen, long beard to his chest, and a third-rank civil servant uniform. , he could not hide his brave nature. This person is the second-ranked figure in Bianliang City. Guo Zhongxun, the deputy left-behind Tokyo (the previous article was mistakenly written as Guo Xun).

The middle-aged man on the right is elegant and arrogant, and his facial features are not anything to be criticized. He is just a deep eye socket and a cool and fierce look. The grassroots counterattack path when looking at people are read in full. It is like a knife-cutting The cold soothing makes me feel cool. This person is even bigger, and his titles are just a string: Privy Councillor, Tianzhang Pavilion, Beijing Daming Prefecture, Tokyo Resident - Du Chong.

When Du Chong guarded Daming Mansion, he once made a statement that "the general minister should not sit in the tent, and should act on the matter of posing arrows and stones." Such bold words seemed to be like the reincarnation of the Marquis of Huaiyin. However, when Wanyan Chang brought a group of small braids to the door. When Du Shuaichen came, he quickly dived, and he didn't even have a bubble. In the end, he couldn't hold his breath anymore, so he simply spread his feet. He learned from Taiyuan Commander Tong Guantong, threw the Beijing Mansion to his subordinates to defend, and ran away. Going to Yangzhou.

Because Du Chong defeated Wanyan Chang's tens of thousands of troops in Daming Mansion for more than half a year, he received a favorable review of "good combat" and was good at competing. So after the news of Zong Ze's serious illness spread to Yangzhou, Zhao was successfully ordered to be ordered to do so. The organization changed his mind. Originally, Guo Zhongxun was transferred from deputy to chief, but he was airborne Du Chong and became the deputy left-behind Tokyo and the prefectural governor of Kaifeng.

Du Chong and Guo Zhongxun, who had just taken office, came here, one to visit the condition of the disease, and the other to handle the transfer of power. Du Chong also knew that Zong Ze was a stubborn old man and a minister who supported the emperor. It was difficult to deal with.

I don’t know if the handover of the official seal will go smoothly. However, when I see Zong Ze’s appearance, it’s already the deadline, so I’m so relieved and no longer submitting the matter. Anyway, Old Man Zong has not had a few days to live, so I’m still a little less

Have some troubles, wait for people to print and collect.

On behalf of the emperor, he talked about Tokyo's defense for a while. Du Chong took the leave with Guo Zhongxun on the grounds that he was not at peace and did not dare to disturb him.

When he was about to leave the mansion, Du Chong sneered: "Gathering bandits into soldiers and deploying defense for hundreds of miles. Is this the defensive technique of Tokyo? 100,000 bandit soldiers are just a mob; layer by layer is also a sign of being beaten. So decayed

In the situation, I even repeatedly submitted memorials to ask the emperor to return to the palace... Humph! The emperor returned to the capital, wouldn't his Zong Rulin (Zong Ze) be a member of the general? Moreover, if the emperor really listened to his words, he would return.

Once the Jin people crossed the river and surrounded Tokyo again, wouldn’t that be another 'Jingkang Incident'?"

Guo Zhongxun also agreed: "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, let alone the emperor? This memorial by Zong Xiang is really inappropriate. No wonder the emperor is unhappy."

Du Chong sneered: "Zong Rulin is not stupid. He knew that his destiny was not long, so he used this seemingly righteous act to win the reputation of his life and his death. As for whether the emperor was happy, he was a man in his twilight years, and he was still

What do you care about?”

The two future leaders of Tokyo City are whispering and moving away slowly, and their conversations also show the future fate of Tokyo City.

When Du Chong and Guo Zhongxun had just left, surrounded by nearly a hundred guards, Zong Ying and Hu Yancisheng were hurried into Xincao Gate and rushed towards the left-behind yamen outside Zhuque Gate.

"Aweng..." Seeing the old father's withered appearance, Zong Ying's nose felt sore and he couldn't speak.

Zong Ze had just received two colleagues who were not talking nonsense. He was very nervous and looked very poor. However, when he saw his son coming back, he was quite happy and nodded. At the same time, he was greeted by Hu Yancizhi. But Hu Yancisheng was visiting him.

After the old boss, he did not dare to disturb him, and he also had to arrange for Tianshu City to send his team to join him, and Nuonuo immediately left.

"How about this trip?" This is Lao Zongze's first sentence.

"Great gains!" Zong Ying's eyes shining.

"Okay... sit down and talk." Zong Ze's expression turned up and asked his son to support himself against the head of the bed, stretched out his dry fingers and signaled the false point.

"Taiyuan has indeed been taken away by the Tianzhu Army!" This is Zong Ying's first sentence.

"Empress Yuansheng is now in Tianshu City!" This is Zong Ying's second sentence.

The most important thing about this journey is these two sentences.

When Zong Ze heard the first sentence, his withered face brightened and his expression was excited. But when he heard the second sentence, he was shocked, and he was first happy and then surprised - Yuan Sheng was later in Tianshu City? That's the sky

Isn't it like to kill the army...

The father and son were talking in the corner of the room, for a long time...

...

While the Zong father and son were discussing secretly in Bianliang City, Di Lie and his party also moored the female bee empire at the old pier in Xishuimen outside the city. Warships were arranged inside and outside, and checkpoints were arranged at both water and land, not only to guard against the Jin people, but also to Song.

People should not be taken lightly.

"No matter whether we sign a covenant or not, we must regard this as an enemy territory and put the warning to level 2 and do not take it lightly." This is Di Lie's warning to his subordinates.

He politely declined Hu Yancisheng's invitation to enter the city. Di Lie cautiously stated that he would not consider entering Bianliang City before the alliance was reached. Hu Yancisheng also knew that this was Tokyo and could not be compared with Taiyuan. In Taiyuan, this person

The Lord Di is a word of the word and has supreme authority. As long as he speaks, he stays in the ranks of the Ministry and his party can enter the country safely and steadily and move freely. But Tokyo is different. The form is complicated, and Zong Xiang's body is worrying, and everything is uncertain.

If he really entered Bianliang City, he wouldn't be able to guarantee his safety.

Hu Yancisheng immediately ordered people to use a boat to exit the water gate from the Bian River to transport some rice, flour, fruits and vegetables - they cannot be invited into the city, and they have to be entertained outside the city, so they must not lose their etiquette.

After Hu Yancisheng's reception was arranged, he claimed the crime and left to Di Lie and returned to the city. However, he did not notice that among the villagers who transported rice, flour, fruits and vegetables, one person was missing... The one who was missing was not an ordinary porter.

But the accountant of a rice shop in Bianliang City. His other identity is an intelligence officer in the Tokyo District of the Second Intelligence Department of Tianshu City.

The intelligence officer's surname is Deng. He is indeed a native of Tokyo. He has worked as a occupant in a rice shop in Bianliang City. He has a wife, children, and children. However, all of this came to an abrupt end in the spring of the second year of Jingkang. Their family has a family of people.

, all of them became one of more than 100,000 prisoners from north. On the way, his wife and children were humiliated and died one after another, and he was the only one left to the Yishui shore... Next, his life underwent a major reversal: he was rescued,

Taihang, selected into the Intelligence Department, conducted short-term training, and used the convenience of his local identity to sneak back to Tokyo, and began to play a role in the eyes and ears.

At this moment, the accountant Deng was reporting to the military leader who sat in the cabin room.

"There has been a rumor about Zong Xianggong's illness. Every day, the generals and officials who visit the mansion are constantly visiting each other."

"The deputy left-behind Guo Zhongxun has frequently entered and left the military camp in the past few days and has attracted military generals, as if he has some intentions..."

"The Yangzhou Travel sent a representative to stay behind, named Du Chong. This man was originally a left-behind mansion and had quite a few soldiers under his command. When he entered the city from Nanxun Gate, he saw nearly a hundred soldiers accompanying him, all wearing armor and holding armor.

edge."

"Du Chong has only been here for a few days, but he has served every day. All civil officials and generals are here. It is reported that he has had close contacts with Wang Yan's subordinates Sang Zhong, Li Zhong and others. In addition, because of his fellow villagers, he has been with Xu Qing, the subordinate of Yue Fei, the commander of the former army, the commander of the former army, and the commander of the former army, Yue Fei, and Xu Qing.

I also have many contacts with Wang Gui.”

Di Lie listened and kept asking questions. When he heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Oh, another native of Xiangzhou. Your fief is really outstanding!"

Di Lie's last words were said to Zhao Yan, who stood behind him. Zhao Yan was named "Secretary Duke", and this Xiangzhou was his fief.

Through Deng’s account office information, Di Lie roughly had a rough understanding of the situation in Tokyo, and was lucky that Zong Ze was still alive. This means that Plan 1 can be implemented.

However, at dusk, Zong Ying, who came by boat with delicious wines, gave a very unexpected result.

"My father is seriously ill and cannot take matters. The alliance matter is temporarily suspended. When my father's health improves slightly, he will definitely meet with City Lord Di as soon as possible." Zong Ying said apologetically.

After Zong Ying left, Di Lie stood at the bow of the ship, shook his head and sighed: "Zong Ze's illness is probably not cured. It seems that this alliance..."

"Military leader should not worry. According to the subordinates, Zong Zedao has some concerns. The one in our Tianshu City is afraid of losing the population. Therefore, he has not made a decision for the time being."

After hearing what Long Xu said, Di Lie deeply agreed and breathed out: "Now, inside and outside Bianliang City, there are gangs everywhere, undercurrents are surging, and the prospects are unpredictable. Since we are here, we cannot be idle. Commander Fu

, Tomorrow you will visit that group of former colleagues. If necessary, the military leader can also come forward in person.” (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is
