The two spy leaders curled up in this way, half-crouched and shrunk in a half-human-high tunnel, which had been prepared long before the arrival of the Song and Liao missions, or rather, there was this tunnel running through the north and south in Jingzhou City early.

Obviously, this is what was left over from the two Yanyun wealthy merchant families, and as for these two rich merchant families, they have now become one of the best businesses in the Great Song Dynasty, and this unique property was dedicated to the Great Song Dynasty by them.

Now the number of people who know the existence of this secret passage is no more than one hand, and they are all spy leaders and parties related to intelligence, even the emperor does not know about the existence of such a secret passage, because he does not need to know about it at all.

After a short period of reminiscence, the two spy leaders in the secret passage began to plan their next move, Cai Boxi nibbled on the chicken leg and took another sip of wine and said: "I now need to know the grain reserves of the Liao Dynasty, how long they can support it, and how much grain is needed in the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Mu Xiu's hand holding the chicken leg stiffened slightly, and then said with disdain: "You are very shrewd, and you will take all my information away at once!" ”

Cai Boxi smiled: "What nonsense are you talking about, it's not easy to know you, but you should also explain the situation to me clearly!" ”

Mu Xiu sneered and said, "You think I don't know? After you get the news, I'm afraid it's even harder for me to get the news from you. ”

Cai Boxi was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and he was about to jump up all of a sudden, but as soon as he got up, he hit the soil layer above the secret passage, and with the dust, he sat down and fell to the ground after a dizziness.

"How can I, Cai Boxi, be such a villain?!"

"Yes, and not once or twice, do you want me to break it down?"

"Uh...... Tell me, what are you going to do this time? ”

Seeing that Cai Boxi's secret passage fell to the ground, Mu Xiu grabbed Cai Boxi and said: "It's very simple, I want some news about the Great Song Dynasty, preferably inconsequential true news, and it has to be unknown to others." ”

Cai Boxi nodded slightly: "What you said makes a lot of sense, if you can't send back the news, the Liao people won't trust you, you listen well............"

It is not important but the Liao people don't know a lot of news, such as how many merchants are in the field, where the merchants are, how much tax they pay, etc., these news are irrelevant, even if the Liao people know, it has no impact, the most important thing is that as long as there is a heart, the Liao people can also listen to it, after all, these news can't be hidden.

Mu Xiu tore off the dusty chicken skin from the roast chicken, which Cai Boyu thought was the most delicious, and nodded while eating the chicken: "This is very good, at least let the Liao people know that I tried my best and couldn't find any flaws." ”

Cai Boyu took a sip of wine proudly and said, "Of course, don't look at who I am?" After speaking, Feng Feng said: "You have to be very careful when you lurk in the Liao Dynasty this time, the Liao people are not unwary of you, with Zhang Jian's temperament, there must be the meaning of the school examination in it." ”

Mu Xiu nodded slightly: "I also have this worry in it, this time, except for me, the other people who accompanied me are all Khitans, if I make a slight mistake, it will be doomed!" This time, the Great Song Dynasty sold grain at the same price, which had already tightened the finances of the Liao Dynasty. ”

Cai Boyu touched his chin: "Then is this grain enough for the Liao Dynasty?" ”

"A drop in the bucket, 10,000 stone grain is 10,000 yuan, 100,000 stone grain is 100,000 yuan, the Liao Dynasty is different from my Great Song Dynasty, in the past, there was very little habit of hoarding food, and now in the event of a natural disaster, the food required is not less than one million stones, these grains must first enter the court, and can only be sold after being sent to the nobles and courtiers of the clan, even so it is gradually sold from the capital."

Mu Xiu's words made Cai Boyu take a breath: "In this way, the grain we transferred from the treasury is not enough for the Liao people at all?" And it is sold from top to bottom, after layers of exploitation, how much is left in the border land? ”

Mu Xiu waved his hand: "You don't have to arrive at the border, even if it is in the hands of the people, there is not much, are you worried about the people of the Liao Dynasty?" ”

Cai Boyu sneered: "Naturally, I am not worried about the Liao people, but I am worried that His Majesty's strategy will be destroyed, and the emperors of the two countries want to strike the war and truce the army, so they use grain as a pacification policy, and the two sides buy and sell grain, and stabilize the people's hearts to recuperate, but if so, will the Liao people still give up?" People who can't eat will definitely put pressure on the Liao Dynasty, and when the time comes, the Liao people will naturally make a gesture in order to calm the people's anger, and there will be a big war between the Song and Liao countries! ”

Mu Xiu nodded while listening: "What you said is right, there are some people in the Liao Dynasty who plan to settle the matter, they want to take advantage of this spring disaster to agitate the imperial court and go south to the Great Song Dynasty, at this moment the Liao people are not happy, naturally there are many people who support this idea, but they were stopped by the Queen Mother." ”

Sure enough, a cold glint flashed in Cai Boyu's eyes: "In this way, whether my Great Song Dynasty sells grain in the field or not, the Liao people feel that they want to go south, and maybe seizing the fields in their hearts is the most perfect plan." ”

Mu Xiu nodded: "There is a change in the Liao people this time, I overheard some news in the Zuo Prime Minister's mansion, and the Zuo Prime Minister Zhang Jian talked with the Liao Dynasty clan about how to get food from the Great Song Dynasty to supplement the army. ”

Cai Boyu grabbed Mu Xiu: "So the Liao people are not as they seem?" ”

"I don't know if it's yes or no, but I have a guess......"

Cai Boyu almost opened his mouth with Mu Xiu: "The Liao people bought my Great Song Dynasty grain to recruit Ding Zhuang, and those who served in the army paid rations, and those who did not follow had no food, so as to expand the army with the intention of going south!" ”

After speaking, the two looked at each other deeply, their hearts were full of horror, if it was really as they guessed, it was very likely that the Liao people were planning to take advantage of the famine of this spring disaster to attack Yan Yun of the Great Song Dynasty.

The cold spring disaster has passed, and the life of the people of the world has begun to get on the right track.

Mu Xiu's body trembled a little and asked, "So my Great Song still has to sell grain to the Liao people?!" ”

Cai Boyu gritted his teeth: "Sell!" Grain must be sold, first sell grain to the Liao people...... At least let these grains enter the territory of the Liao Dynasty, anyway, I will enter the Liao this time, if there is a change, destroy these grains at all costs. ”

Mu Xiu frowned and said, "Then why don't you just strike the market?" That's the best way to go! ”

Cai Boyu shook his head slightly: "The boycott is widely implicated, if the policy of stabilizing the Liao Dynasty is mistaken and the love and etiquette are not in agreement, and the official family has issued an order to aid the Liao Dynasty, how can Chrysostom break his word?!" ”

"Do you want to watch my Da Song become Mr. Dongguo?!"

Cai Boyu thought about it and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, Your Majesty has already made a plan, this time I will lead my troops to infiltrate the Liao Dynasty, and go to the Jurchen Department through the Liao Dynasty." What would happen if the Liao army suddenly found out that the Jurchens were in rebellion after they had been assembled? ”

Mu Xiu stared at Cai Boyu for a long time: "You mean, our Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty are going to engage in some small means?" In this way, no one is clean! ”
