Chapter 80 Disputes at the banquet and spies are exposed
"My lord, the envoy of the Song Dynasty has come to Taiyuan City and is waiting to be received in the palace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Just when the group was in full swing, Li Lian walked in front of Xiao Feng to report.
Xiao Feng immediately frowned, and secretly thought: "What is he doing here?" The thoughts in her heart surged, but her face was as calm as water, and she immediately said: "Even so, you go back and entertain well, I will go over later." Compared with the Song Dynasty's assistance, she was more concerned about when the gunboat in front of her would be completed.
After all, it has not yet been determined when the Song Dynasty will send aid, but if this gunboat can be completed, then the combat power of the Red Phoenix Army can be improved by several points, at least in the face of Shi Tianze's army, it also has the basic ability to resist.
Li Lian immediately retired, thinking about how to make Jiang Wanli feel at ease, and Xiao Feng was also busy in this shipyard, if the hull was damaged due to an operation error, she would use her ability to repair the damage again, so that the gunboat could be completed much earlier, and it is estimated that after this winter, it is estimated that it can be put into war.
When it was finished, it was evening.
Xiao Feng left the shipyard at this time, and when she returned to the palace, she skimmed the light that was still shining in the living room, and then realized that today was the time to meet the envoys of the Song Dynasty.
Although she felt sorry, Xiao Feng didn't care, with the arrogance and self-respect of those scholars and doctors in the Song Dynasty, if she looked at the thatched house like Liu Bei recruited Zhuge Liang, she would be looked down upon by this group of people, she pushed open the door with a calm breath, and immediately saw it on both sides of the desk, that Zhang Bangyi and Jiang Wanli, as well as the four loyal and brave generals and the Zhonghua Sect were persuading each other to drink on the wine table, it was really not lively, even Xiao Xing was also involved in it.
Glancing at everyone, Xiao Feng's footsteps moved slightly, and he sat down at the top of the place with only one movement, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you enjoying the ranks?"
"Tell the lord, because I haven't seen you come back for a long time, and my subordinates will inevitably disappoint the Song Dynasty, so I ordered these banquets to be prepared in the kitchen, and brought Wang Shijian, Li Taijian, Sun Wuji, and Yan Wei to discuss cooperation with each other!" Xiao Xing suddenly became nervous, and said immediately.
No matter what, after all, Jiang Wanli is from the Song Dynasty, Xiao Feng may be able to ignore the power of the Earth Immortal and even the Red Phoenix Army, but their group of subordinates may not be able to slacken, if they can get the help of the Song Dynasty, then there will be unexpected surprises to change the harsh environment of the entire Red Phoenix Army.
It is precisely for this reason that in Xiao Feng's absence, she presided over this banquet.
"So that's the case?, and what agreement did you reach?" Picking up a glass of water and wine on the table, Xiao Feng was a little curious.
Xiao Feng is not against cooperation, but it is a headache for people to cooperate to what extent and how to combine the two, as a new force, there are too many differences between the Chifeng Army and the Song Dynasty, if there is a contradiction because of something, then it will be a harm to both sides.
The so-called allegorical discourse of combining is beneficial and dividing is lost, after all, it is still too simple.
"As the so-called tiring journey, this journey is very difficult, and I thank Commander Xiao for his hospitality in advance. β
Jiang Wanli stood up immediately, his gaze swept over the faces of the Zhonghua Sect, and he immediately noticed that a trace of cringe inevitably appeared in these people, and then he smiled and said: "As for the issue of future battles, you have not been awarded the official position, so naturally there is no need to respect our court." It's just that there are thousands of miles from Gangneung to this place, and there are even Mongolian troops along the way, so it is too difficult to transport a large amount of grain, cloth and salt here. β
Sword eyebrows condensed, Xiao Feng stared at Jiang Wanli, and asked in a deep voice, "You mean, I'm afraid that those things will meet with accidents halfway?"
"That's right! After all, there is too much food, and the Mongolian army is too powerful, with the strength of my Song army, I am afraid that it will be difficult to deliver. Of course, if Your Excellency intends to go south to seize Henan Mansion and occupy Dengzhou, Tangzhou, Caicong and other places, we will naturally fulfill our promise and deliver the materials you need. Although Jiang Wanli felt that the pressure on his body was very heavy, he was still calm and calm, and he did not show any timidity.
Xiao Feng shook his head: "My army is currently stationed in the area of Taiyuan Mansion, if it is easily transferred, I am afraid that Shi Tianze will take advantage of the opportunity to enter and destroy my foundation." It's like your suggestion, I'm afraid it won't work!"
The strategy of the art of war is to avoid being attacked on both sides.
At this time, the confrontation between the Red Phoenix Army and the army under Shi Tianze is already difficult, if you want to transfer troops and horses to attack the land of Henan Mansion, which is not worse than Shi Tianze's strength, it is simply a suicide.
Jiang Wanli shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "I also know your army's concerns, but at this moment, the Mongolian army is weak internally, and it is the time to take this opportunity to expand its territory. Otherwise, when the Mongolian army from the west comes back and the Mongolian army invades the Song Dynasty and the Mongolian army returns, I am afraid that this prosperous place will have to be turned into rubble. β
By this, Xiao Feng's pair of starry eyes were already full of cold light: "Are you threatening me?"
"Don't dare!" is just a piece of advice. Although Jiang Wanli's body was bent, Yujing's face was a little proud: "If you continue to be trapped here, it is not suitable for trapped beasts to fight, it is not the best strategy." It is precisely for this reason that if Commander Xiao is willing to accept the reward from our dynasty, our dynasty will definitely give this place to you, thinking that it is fundamental! When the time comes, the north and south will echo and besiege the Mongol army together, and then it will be a little grain, grass, and cloth, and it will be between the rejuvenating of the Han land and the ruling of the country. β
Along the way, he has already seen all the emptiness under the rule of the Red Phoenix Army, and he knows what the Red Phoenix Army lacks now, and that is the key that is enough to strangle the entire Red Phoenix Army here.
Now, he brought up the matter of rewarding again, clearly intending to swallow all the achievements of the Red Phoenix Army and directly incorporate them into the Song Dynasty system.
Hearing this, Li Taichen immediately shouted: "You are not rampant, could it be that I am afraid that you will not succeed?"
"If the Mongolian army is really powerful, how can you let me wait for how to become bigger? On the other side, Wang Shijian's eyes were also shining, staring at Jiang Wanli.
Although the other two did not speak, their eyes were also fierce, revealing a little rejection. On the other side, although the four loyal and brave generals knew that this was not false, they had already broken away from the Red Phoenix Army, and they were currently under the command of Jiang Wanli, and they did not dare to intervene rashly with all their thoughts, so as not to make both of them unhappy.
Affected by this full house, Xiao Feng also kept his mouth shut, just looked at Jiang Wanli coldly, the atmosphere became solemn for a while, and everyone felt that they couldn't breathe.
"Humph!"
There was a sudden explosion, which shocked everyone and made everyone dizzy, and when the group recovered, they saw that Xiao Feng had already gotten up from his seat and left straight from here. Although Jiang Wanli has no earthly immortal realm, but this person is burdened with the rules of the Song Dynasty, and what he represents behind him is the will of the Song Dynasty, and he can't be killed easily.
At this time, Xiao Feng was so persecuted by such a Song Dynasty envoy, how could she accept it with her fierce temperament, and she was already open-minded if she didn't get angry on the spot.
Xiao Xing saw it, bowed to Jiang Wanli Yingying, and replied: "I know that Your Excellency is kind-hearted, but we are a rural villager, and I am afraid that I will not be able to stand the anger of the court, so please let me wait and think twice." After that, she also left from the banquet, her steps were in a hurry, wanting to catch up with Xiao Feng who was far away.
Today's events were too sudden, and Xiao Xing was not ready, but she also knew that if the cooperation was stopped, then the Red Phoenix Army really had no place to turn around.
The most important thing now is to make Xiao Feng change his mind and not be rash!
Seeing the two principals leaving together, Jiang Wanli couldn't help but feel that his interest had dropped sharply, and he also clenched his fists in his chest, and casually found a reason: "Rank! I drank very lightly, and I already felt unwell after drinking a few minutes, so if this discomfort offended you in my words, please apologize." If you are in trouble, can you allow you to rest in the next house?"
Wang Shiyi also replied: "Naturally, you can." However, the misfortune comes from the mouth, Brother Jiang should pay attention in the future, don't drink and make mistakes like today!"
Hearing this, Jiang Wanli immediately walked out of this temple with the four people who accompanied him and returned to his own house. And after everyone left, Wang Shiyi and the others were not interested in staying any longer, and they also left from the living room, preparing their own things.
It was night, Jiang Wanli, who was sleeping, suddenly got up, only moved his hand, and immediately borrowed a note from the air.
Unfolding the note, he looked at the words on it, and immediately smiled: "I see, that's it." No wonder Xiao Feng is so nervous!"
Outside the window, there was a sudden sound of wind, and the private figure was horizontal, but the wind disappeared in an instant, and even the figure was nowhere to be seen, almost no different from a ghost.
Jiang Wanli didn't pay attention to it, just covered the quilt and fell asleep.
After all, this day is cold, if there is no quilt covering, will you not be frozen to death?
The night was fine, but the cold wind was still cold, and the body of the person who blew it was cold, and there was almost a possibility of freezing to death.
The next day, Xiao Feng was already suspicious of that Jiang Wanli, and if he was able to break through the current situation of the Chifeng Army in one word, that guy must have come prepared, because the only key is who revealed the state of the general?
So she immediately called Xiao Yue and asked, "Do you know where Jiang Wanli got the news from our army?"
Xiao Yue immediately replied: "According to the spy I dispatched, in Jiang Wanli's bedroom last night, there seemed to be a shadow. I think it should have been the black shadow who told him!" Just like Jiang Wanli's identity and mission, Xiao Yue arranged for spies to monitor day and night early in the morning, so as not to steal all the secrets of the Red Phoenix Army by this person's secret actions.
After all, although the Red Phoenix Army was in the midst of a Jedi, the weapons in its army, such as tiger squat cannons, broken guns, guns, and gunboats, were extremely advanced, and they were urgently needed by the Southern Song Dynasty at present. If Najiang Wanli secretly used his means to steal this valuable information, then the Red Phoenix Army would not only lose the only trump card it could, but would also completely break the strategic balance between the Mongol and Song dynasties, directly leading to the failure of the Mongol army's invasion of the Song Dynasty.
No matter that, it's not what Xiao Feng wants!
"Black Shadow?" Xiao Feng tightened her eyebrows and asked, "Do you know who that black shadow is?" Could it be someone in our army?" As soon as she thought that there were still spies in the army, she was terrified, if the Taiyuan counterattack battle more than a month ago came again, it would really be a nightmare for the entire Red Phoenix Army.
Xiao Yue shook her head and replied: "I have secretly observed this person, and I know that this person is short in stature and light in body, she should be a woman, and her light skills are extremely high, even if she is not inferior to me, it is precisely because of this that she was not captured, and there is no woman with such high strength in our army." β
"In this way, does it mean that our Red Phoenix Army has been targeted by others?" Xiao Feng suddenly felt a little dissatisfied with the scrutiny in his eyes.
This feeling of being watched is really unpleasant!
Xiao Yue nodded yes: "It should be like this." After all, after the battle of Yushe City, everyone knows the sharp weapons in our army. And in order to obtain the fastest way to make firearms, there is no doubt that it is to infiltrate our army and secretly steal information about firearms. β
"Is this the so-called 'poor in the downtown and no one asks, and the rich have close neighbors in the distant countryside'?"
Full of helplessness, Xiao Feng also knew that it was really not feasible to prevent others from exploring the mysteries of firearms, so in desperation, she had no choice but to let the craftsmen under her rule go all out to improve the power of firearms, trying to maintain the advantage of being one step ahead, at least before other forces used firearms on a large scale, his Red Phoenix Army could calmly deal with his enemies.
"In that case, then how should I act?" The cold light in his eyes revealed, Xiao Yue was already murderous.
Xiao Feng shook his head helplessly, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately showed a confident smile: "There are too many spies, and they have killed wave after wave." Even so, why don't we proactively 'leak' secrets?"
"What does it mean to 'leak' secrets?" Xiao Yue felt wonderful, but she didn't know what it was all about.
"It's simple. We can pick a loyal person and let her blend in with some of the military secrets of our army, and make it our flag to nail into each other. In this way, we can easily obtain the opponent's every move, so as to formulate the corresponding strategy in time. Of course, this person should not be too ordinary, at least with a certain amount of force, but not too conspicuous so as not to be discovered by the enemy. Thinking about it carefully, Xiao Feng felt more and more that this strategy was feasible.
In fact, she has always tried to develop an espionage system, but the talent in the army is too scarce, and it is still difficult to build a security department to secretly monitor the people under her command, if you want to extend the spy network to the Song Dynasty and even Mongolia, it is far beyond the current ability of the Red Phoenix Army.
"Is that possible?"
Xiao Yue also felt excited, but when she thought about it, she felt that this method was too strange, and she was afraid that it would fail.
"Even if we fail, what we lose is just a piece of technical information that has long been outdated. But if it succeeds, then you can take this opportunity to invade the other party's spy system, and then only someone needs to pass on the other party's movements, then our Red Phoenix Army will have more room to go back, instead of being arbitrarily insulted by a mere Song Dynasty like last night!" Speaking of this, Xiao Feng was already clenching her fists, thinking about the scene when she was refuted by Jiang Wanli, her face was also quite ugly.
If it weren't for the leakage of intelligence in the military, how could Jiang Wanli have done such an act?
Xiao Yue's jaw replied, "I understand, I'll do it." β
"That's good, remember, it's very important, you have to choose someone who is qualified, or I'll be ruined." With worries about the future, Xiao Feng solemnly instructed that in order to avoid the complete defeat of the entire Red Phoenix Army, she was acting every moment.
Whether it is to create artillery weapons that surpass the times, whether it is the Zhonghua Sect and the General Staff Department set up in order to control the army under her command and suppress the emergence of warlords, whether it is to annihilate the 14,000 soldiers and horses of the monk He Badu, or to fight a fierce battle with Shi Tianze in Taiyuan City, she is doing her best and going all out to complete these almost impossible things, even if she is in a dilemma now, Xiao Feng still believes that she can overcome everything and successfully lead the soldiers under her command to step out of a broad road.
