The true identity of the scribe is Wang Xu, and Hu Xiaosheng is just his pseudonym.

After the Ming army captured Beijing, Wang Xu, who had been dormant for many years, ended his mission of collecting intelligence from the Qing army, and the Heaven and Earth Society was further absorbed by Jinyiwei, and he became one of Jinyiwei's two fellow intellectuals.

Because of his familiarity with secret espionage work, Wang Xu continued to preside over the Ming Dynasty's intelligence spying on the Jin State and the rebellion of important personnel in the north.

The Jin Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty were relatively close in all respects, dressed in clothes and uniforms, and the culture was almost the same, so it should be easier to say that intelligence was done, but in fact it was the opposite.

Although the Ming Dynasty developed many spies in the Jin Kingdom, the upper echelons of the Jin Kingdom were unusually stable, and the Ming Dynasty's spies rarely found out the core news.

The Jin State conquered Yarkand and competed for hegemony with the Rakshasas in Central Asia, all of which were excellent opportunities for the Ming Dynasty to perform, but unfortunately due to unfavorable intelligence, the first time to obtain the information, and when the news reached Nanjing, the Ming Dynasty had already missed the best opportunity to act.

After Wang Xu presided over the intelligence affairs of the Jin State, he organized and planned a rebellion against several big figures, but the other party either maintained an ambiguous attitude, and if he left immediately, he was directly rejected, and the rebellion against Tang Tong made him a big heel.

After several failed attempts, Wang Xu began to search for the cause, and soon discovered that the Jin Kingdom and the Manchu Qing were very different.

When he was in Beijing, he mainly rebelled against various officials, and the probability of success was extremely high, and the reason was that the Manchus did not trust the Han Chinese, and these ministers did not belong to the Manchu ruling class, but were just tools, and the tools naturally wanted to find a better position for themselves, give full play to their talents, and leave a way back for themselves. As long as these people prescribe the right conditions, they may be anyway.

Jin Guo is different, these military leaders and big men have obtained real benefits, they are the ruling class of Jin State. Some military leaders are like independent princes, who have the power to intervene and decide on many things in their territory, and since they are the ruling class, it is naturally difficult for them to rise up and rebel against themselves.

After the failure of the rebellion against Tang Tong and the rebellion was put on the table, Wang Xu gradually changed his intelligence strategy in the Jin State, no longer plotting against those big men and military leaders, but against the people around them and the people at the bottom of the Jin State, and spent money to train and fund some people in the Jin Country, so that they could grow up quickly, enter the high-level and various industries of the Jin State, and take a roundabout route.

The realization of the plan of the Wude in Guanzhong this time is largely related to the actions of Jinyiwei, and several businesses with the background of Guanzhong used by Wude were funded and developed by Jinyiwei, and it is precisely because of these businesses with background in Guanzhong that the plan of Wude can be successfully implemented.

Liu Chengyong also succeeded in rebelling after Jin Yiwei's thinking changed.

Wang Yongqiang has been the emperor of the soil in northern Shaanxi for eight or nine years, Liu Chengyong has been a garrison under him for seven years, and he has not taken a step forward, nor has he been alone in one town, Wang Yongqiang is happy, but the people below are not necessarily.

The strength of the Jin army was mainly concentrated in the Tongguan and Hanzhong areas, and the same was true for the Ming army, and the two sides wrestled head-on.

In this case, the forces of both sides are concentrated, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the chief, but if anyone makes a breakthrough in some unnoticed corners, it may achieve unexpected results.

This situation has appeared many times in history, and it is also used in the game of the country, many times the boss and the second game, the two sides each pull the third, fourth, and fifth to confront each other, hostile to each other, and finally the inconspicuous sixth and seventh next to them suddenly rise, such things are not uncommon.

After studying the confrontation between Ming and Jin, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies felt that if they wanted to attack head-on, the consumption would be very large, so they formulated several roundabout plans.

Northern Shaanxi was in the plan, so Jinyiwei began to contact Wang Yongqiang's subordinates very early, and Liu Chengyong defected to the Ming Dynasty at that time.

After Wang Xu presided over the intelligence affairs of the Jin State, he had not made much achievements, and he was very concerned about this operation in northern Shaanxi, so he assumed the pseudonym Hu Xiaosheng and went into battle in person.

If this operation in northern Shaanxi is successful, there will be a gap in the defense of the Jin State in Guanzhong, which will disrupt the layout of the Jin State, and the Ming army will be able to discover the flaws of the Jin State and attack Guanzhong.

Wubao County is east of Suide, close to the Yellow River, east of Yongning Prefecture in Shanxi, and is opposed by the Ming army across the river.

Among the crossings of the Yellow River in the northwestern part of Shaanxi, Wubao is the largest one, and the Huzhai and Fugu in the north are not very suitable for crossing the river.

The Yellow River in the northwest section of Shaanxi, along the Luliang Mountains, washes to the south, the river rushes down from the heights, the water flow is turbulent, there are not many places suitable for crossing the river, and it is also difficult to build bridges, so Tongguan and Pujin Pass can become the key points in Guanzhong.

Fort Wu is a relatively easy place to cross the Yellow River in the northern section, so it is the focus of the Jin army's defense.

Wang Yongqiang built a pier at the ferry, and there were 1,000 men defending here.

1,000 people may not seem like much, but the terrain of the ferry is very dangerous, with mountains on both sides and broken walls formed by erosion, coupled with the turbulent current, the number of people who can cross each time is limited, and 1,000 people are enough to guard the ferry.

In such an important place, ordinary people Wang Yongqiang are not at ease, only with the same clan or relatives, he can rest assured, so he chose his wife and brother Zeng Yuquan to sit in charge.

Wang Yongqiang is the emperor of northern Shaanxi, Zeng Yuquan is the prince of Wubao, he is in Wubao, his life is very comfortable, and he is very peaceful.

However, the bad thing of planting cotton also affected his mood, and when he was anxious to run out of money and food, he received a letter from Wang Yongqiang to send someone to bring him.

said that the Ming Dynasty wanted to recruit him and would send a horse of grain and silver, and he had asked Liu Chengyong to fetch it and let him cooperate well, but at the same time reminded him that the grain and silver should be collected, but the Ming army must not be allowed to cross the river, which made Zeng Yuquan confused.

On September 20, early in the morning, Zeng Yuquan and Liu Chengyong, who came to the ferry.

Zeng Yuquan looked at the rolling Yellow River, and couldn't help but say to Liu Chengyong next to him, "Didn't you say that today, why hasn't the grain delivery shown up yet?" ”

Liu Chengyong glanced at him and smiled, "It's still early, it should be soon!" ”

As the two were talking, a convoy of hundreds of mule carts, loaded with loaded grain and boxes of silver, slowly appeared at the ferry crossing opposite.

The ferry transportation in northern Shaanxi is difficult, and the large caravans will not take the ferry in northern Shaanxi, where the water flow is too fast, and if you are not careful, you will be washed downstream, or even sink into the river. The appearance of such a large-scale convoy in front of him must be the agreed grain match.

At this time, the soldiers on the bunker who were observing the opposite bank saw the convoy on the opposite bank, and immediately shouted, "It's coming!" ”

Zeng Yuquan suddenly became excited when he heard this, and the officers behind him also whispered, the price of cotton plummeted, and the army ran out of food, they were all panicked, and now when they saw the food coming, they were all relieved and overjoyed.

An hour later, five boats drifted from the crossing of the river to the port of Wubao, and the boatmen on the boats struggled with the river and were washed to the shore.

Zeng Yuquan was overjoyed, and hurriedly rushed to the dock with more than 100 subordinates, he saw that the ship was full of men, but there were very few grain bags on the boat, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"What about the grain? What are you doing with so many people, you load grain on the east bank, and I can send people to unload it on the west bank! Zeng Yuquan rebuked loudly, he remembered Wang Yongqiang's confession, except for the shipwright, he didn't want people from the east coast to come to the west coast.

As soon as he said a word, the two or three hundred men on the five boats stood still, Zeng Yuquan frowned slightly, "What are you doing in a daze, quickly unload and go back to load!" Didn't you adults give you an explanation? ”

The air was quiet, and the men on the boat still didn't move, and no one even replied to his words, squinting at him one by one.

Zeng Yuquan's heart froze, he couldn't help but take a step back, then turned around suddenly, and ran back quickly, but when he looked up, Liu Chengyong led hundreds of men and horses to block in front of him, also squinting at himself.

For a while, Zeng Yuquan seemed to understand something, he laughed awkwardly, he couldn't advance, he couldn't retreat, he was extremely embarrassed.

In Suidezhou, the night is getting deeper, the city is over the hustle and bustle of the day, slowly quiet, every household closes the door and windows, and falls asleep in a sound sleep, only a few patrols in the city are still walking around with torches.

In the General Army's Mansion, Wang Yongqiang was sleeping soundly with his concubine in his arms, but a fast horse suddenly rushed outside Suide City.

Not long after, the sleeping Wang Yongqiang was woken up, and a thousand households were in a hurry in the festival hall, so Wang Yongqiang put on a piece of clothing and walked in with an unhappy face.

"What's the matter?" Wang Yongqiang pulled the clothes on his shoulders and walked to his seat.

Qianhu hurriedly clenched his fists and said in a panic: "Junmen, the Ming army has crossed the river from Wubao!" ”

Wang Yongqiang's movements froze, his face was full of shock, and the clothes on his shoulders slipped off and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Qianhu hurriedly suggested: "Junmen, there are not many people crossing the Wubao ferry at one time, and now there should not be many Ming troops crossing the river, let's quickly mobilize our brothers to drive the Ming army down the river, and it is still too late to recapture the ferry!" ”

Wang Yongqiang didn't seem to wake up, and he didn't come back to his senses at half-sound, he sat on the chair next to him, and muttered, "How can this be? ”

"Military Gate?" Qianhu exhaled again.

Wang Yongqiang glanced up at him, but he stood up suddenly, walked back quickly, and shouted, "Madam, where is my set of armor for the Ming generals?" Find out for me! ”

Qianhu stayed in the festival hall, he looked at the direction where Wang Yongqiang disappeared, and his mouth was so shocked that he could put down an egg······
