Looking out of a viewing window of Shitokuden Hall in Tokyo, two little boys were lying behind a peach tree, their clothes covered with dirt. Guo Zhang liked to be clean, so he lay there with a look of reluctance on his face, but his brother Guo Hong held his shoulders and did not move. That kid Guo Hong, who had never been able to sit still, was lying there very attentively and staring ahead. In an open space of bricks and stones, an upside-down basket was supported by a branch; underneath the basket was a bowl containing rice. There was a hemp rope tied to the branch, and the other end was in Guo Hong's hand. Guo Hong stared at the bowl in the basket for a while, and from time to time he looked up at a few sparrows circling on the treetops. Guo Shao took note of what happened between the two of them and looked up at the birds in the sky. When there was no movement for a long time, he left the picture window. This room, which was cleaned spotlessly, seemed a bit messy because there were many notes on the wall and many files placed randomly. Guo Shao sat down on the soft couch and continued to look at the notes on the wall, all with names on them. Some of them, such as Yelu Xian, Xiao Siwen, Yelu Xiezhen, etc., are celebrities, but there are also many very unfamiliar names that even Guo Shao is not familiar with. "Then Xiao Siwen is thought of by His Majesty all the time. I wonder if I should feel honored." Fu Jinzhan's soothing voice came from behind. Guo Shao turned his head and saw her smiling face. After such a long time, Guo Shao's health improved a lot, and he was just pretending to be ill if he didn't go to court recently. Fu Jinzhan's biggest concern now is not Xiao Siwen, but him, so he looks good and is in a good mood. Guo Shao touched the light hair on his head and said: "Xiao Siwen used a treacherous trick to harm me and killed me half to death. So many people died because of it. It's just a dirty trick. The treacherous trick succeeded. This is for me." Humiliation and teasing! I feel really aggrieved in return!" "Will Xiao Siwen be fooled?" Jinzhan asked softly, looking at the scrawled lines on the wall and the pictures. thing. Guo Shao hesitated, and even he himself was not completely sure. The waiting time passed very slowly. The more I looked forward to the announcement of the results, the more anxious I became. Although he did not take part personally, he felt that it was even more difficult than those who carried out the conspiracy. Guo Shao couldn't help but stood up and paced around the small room. When he saw Jinzhan looking at him silently, he said, "I have tried my best to make arrangements carefully, but in the end it still depends on the opponent's reaction" Guo Shao walked to the case and looked through it for a while, and then said, "The Liao Kingdom learned from my method and had a special yamen for spies; but now it seems that it is far from mature enough. The main reason is that the organizational form is so poor that the spies have acquaintances, know each other, and can contact each other! So the inner factory is When investigating the poisoning case, I found out almost all of them. I didn't order those people to be moved, and I came up with this plan at that time." Fu Jinzhan listened with interest, "His Majesty asked the spies not to know each other. , I can only contact the above person alone, and I have to plan ahead from the beginning. "Guo Shao doesn't think he is very smart. This kind of thing is really basic knowledge. The basics of espionage were popularized in primary school texts back then, including the article commemorating Li Dazhao, which described a potted flower on the windowsill as a code. "The Liao people did not expect this, and they have no experience." Guo Shaodao, he pondered for a moment and said, "Jinzhan knows that what the spy is most afraid of is not being arrested, but being exposed without knowing it and getting false news. Do you still believe it?" Jinzhan looked up at the tall and strong Guo Shao, "Is it all in your majesty's plan from the beginning?" Guo Shao nodded: "That's right. There are not many spies left. When Yang Ye escapes from Tokyo, the place where he rented the horse, the route out of the city, and the escape luggage must be made known to the other party. Otherwise, how can Xiao Siwen be sure that Yang Ye is escaping? Brother Zhehei, the party member next to him, is someone Zhe De trusts. Without him taking the initiative to give the Liao spies an opportunity, how could they be easily bribed?" Jinzhan nodded: "Even so, it is just some clues and circumstantial evidence, Your Majesty. The main reason why I think this matter is feasible is that Xiao Siwen is willing to believe it. "Guo Shao praised: "Jinzhan has touched on the key point. Xiao Siwen has great talents, but the roots of civil strife in Liao are too deep. In this situation, the position was not very stable, and he seemed impatient. Otherwise, given his position, how could he even resort to poisoning and other plots? Also, when Li Chuyun was out with his troops, Xiao Siwen also sent a letter to encourage Li Chuyun to rebel. "I see Xiao Siwen's actions. As long as there is a chance, he will try and never give up until he brings us down." Jinzhan's smile disappeared and he said softly, "Those who harbor evil intentions must be eliminated as soon as possible." Dropped." Guo Shao nodded and was distracted for a moment, thinking about various details of the deployment His way of thinking is different from that of the world.? At this time, people often think in terms of general principles when planning things; but Guo Shao is different. He often combines each specific thing. This is probably because I have been brainwashed since I was a child and everything is composed of particles. Jinzhan couldn't help but said: "Yang Ye and Zhe De are completely trustworthy?" Guo Shao felt very trustworthy in his heart, but he also had a reason: "Yang Ye knew that I was fine, why did he rebel?" But all predictions One problem with all plans is that there are always uncontrollable accidents. Maybe a small thing can change the entire strategy. Guo Shao thought for a long time, picked up a new piece of paper on the table, walked to the wall and pasted it, with two words written on it: Yang Gun. ¡ In the military mansion of the former camp in Daizhou, Yang Gun, dressed in a robe and wearing a futou, followed Yang Ye quietly together with Fan Zhongyi, a Han man. At this time, a large group of officials poured out of the lobby. In the noisy scene, someone said: "General Yang is here." "What does he mean" "Don't be impatient, everyone!" Yang Ye raised his hands, and the guards around him put their hands on the handles of their swords. Yang Gun said nothing and concentrated on observing the group of people in front of him. Most of them had clean fingers and no dirt on their fingernails Han'er's civil servants never touched their fingers since they were studying for the imperial examination. They didn't work at all. They just looked at their hands Gotta come out. And the skin on those people¡¯s faces is fairly fair, unlike people who have been exposed to wind and sun for a long time. Yang Gun even paid attention to the belts, jade pendants, temperament and manners of the officials. "General Yang has put us under house arrest here, have you thought about the consequences?" A red-robed official said coldly, and asked loudly and powerfully, "Which law gave you this power, and which person gave you this power? " Yang Ye said nicely: "Wang Changshi's words are serious, how can he be under house arrest? The Liao army is gathering in the north, and there are Khitan spies in the east of the river. I am just in case" "What? General Yang is suspicious? Are we here?" the red-robed official asked. Immediately, someone scolded: "Don't be polite, Yang Ye's intentions are obvious!" Yang Ye stared at the man just now and asked, "What's your intention? Why don't you tell me and listen?" The man said: "What's your intention? I don¡¯t know, why don¡¯t you come and ask me?¡± Yang Ye frowned and said, ¡°It¡¯s better for you to stay here and plan to deal with the Liao army¡¯s southern invasion.¡± After that, he turned and left. The crowd shouted: "General Yang, please think more about how to explain today's events to the court!" The group of people retreated quickly, and the group of people chased after them, but were blocked by the guards. After all, he is a civil servant. He is very good at writing and speaking, but he cannot use force. They left the military mansion and returned to Yang Ye's yard. After the screen retreated, Yang Ye asked: "General Yang, do you think there is something fishy?" "Commander Haihan, I don't believe you." Yang Ye bowed, "It's just a matter of great importance. I'll take a closer look before I can go back." "Explain it." Yang Ye snorted: "I don't believe you. No one wants others to take action on this kind of thing." Yang Gun shook his head in denial and stopped arguing. He watched it anyway. "When will the Liao army set off?" Yang Ye whispered, he was a little anxious, "The matter has come to this, you have also seen it, I am afraid that Ye Changmengduo will not be able to control the situation." Fan Zhongyi answered first: "Xiao Gong is already here. Fengzhou (Hohhot) is well prepared, and General Xiao Duoli is waiting with an army of one hundred thousand (so-called)!" Yang Ye frowned and said: "How many people are rushing to help?" Fan Zhongyi pondered for a moment and said: "There should be thirty thousand! There are many cavalry, including more than 10,000 Khitan elite cavalry and 20,000 Xi and Jurchen infantry. The commander-in-chief only needs to send a trustworthy messenger to Fengzhou with our letter, and he will meet him. As soon as Duke Xiao got the news, he mobilized his troops to Yunzhou. In the name of adhering to Yanmen, the commander-in-chief transferred Yunzhou to the Liao Dynasty, so that the Liao army could get closer. " Yang Ye nodded slightly while thinking. Fan Zhongyi added: "The two of us will stay in Daizhou for the time being so that we can communicate with Duke Xiao about the situation in the north and south." The three of them agreed on a plan, and Yang Ye asked them to go back to their residence and write letters. ¡Half an hour later, the secret letter signed by Yang Gun and Fan Zhongyi was first taken to Yang Ye¡¯s room. At this time, there were two more people in the room, one was Lu Duoxun, the Minister of Rites and Assistant to the Cabinet, and the other was Yang Chongxun, Yang Ye's second brother. Yang Chongxun has been serving the Zhongyuan court since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty. He is also the brother of Yang Ye and is considered a more trustworthy person. He is in charge of the defense of Yanmen Pass at this time. When the Northern Han Dynasty was not destroyed, the two brothers of the Yang family were each their own masters, because the ancestors of the Yang family wanted to bet on both sides. The Yang family has lived in Linzhou, a borderland. They were originally powerful locals. During the Zhou Dynasty, Yang Chongxun surrendered to the Zhou Dynasty on the order of his father; Yang Yeze was sent to serve the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty when he was young. ?Because it is obvious that it depends on which side can win Although the Northern Han Dynasty is in a corner, after all, the emperors of the five dynasties all succeeded in Hedong, so it cannot be said that there is no chance at all. Later, as the Central Plains dynasty grew stronger and stronger, when Guo Shao destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, he asked Yang Ye to surrender, mainly relying on Yang Chongxun to pull the strings. Yang Ye first read the content of the letter from the second envoy of the Liao Kingdom. It was written that everything was as expected and there was no problem. He asked Xiao Siwen to take over Yunzhou and advance to Yanmen. After the second envoy and Yang Ye made an agreement, they returned to the Liao camp and entered Yanmen Pass. There was nothing wrong with the letter, but Yang Ye couldn't help but said: "Yang Gun may have seen something. I always feel that he is suspicious of us."
