Chapter 596: Take a plan

Cheng Qianli's military yamen is located near the north gate of the city. It has been transformed from a large mansion. There are soldiers on guard inside and outside the military yamen, and no one is allowed to approach. The guard is very strict.

Early in the morning, a young one-armed woman dressed in a black gauze came to the front of the military yamen. She was Qi Yuhua, the head of the Hebei Intelligence Hall. As soon as she approached the military yamen, two soldiers immediately came up with knives and stopped her.

"The military yamen is not allowed to approach it!"

Qi Yuhua took out a silver medal and handed it to the soldier and said, "Please tell General Cheng that the head of the Hebei Road Intelligence Hall of the Anxi Army in the Inner Guard of Anxi Army is looking for a meeting!"

The two soldiers had never seen the silver medal, but they heard that the woman reported her identity was unusual, so they did not dare to take the silver medal at a slightest and said, "Please wait, girl, we are reporting to General Cheng."

A soldier hurried into the door, and after a moment he came out and said, "Please, girl! General Cheng invites you in."

After pausing, he glanced at the small bag behind Qi Yuhua and said, "Give me all your belongings! Save unnecessary misunderstandings."

Qi Yuhua handed him the bag, "The things in the bag are about to be used, please follow me."

"We know, please, girl!"

Qi Yuhua followed the soldiers into the military yamen. Cheng Qianli had already sat in the lobby of the military yamen. These days, he was so oppressed by the news of An Lushan's army that he could not sleep day and night. His weight dropped sharply, and his whole body became dark and thin. Despite this, Cheng Qianli insisted on retrenching. He had received the order from Guo Ziyi, ordering him to stay in Xiangzhou to die and wait until hundreds of thousands of Hebei people retreated. How could he retreat to Hedong without ten days and half a month? Cheng Qianli was anxious, but he could not do anything. He did not want to disobey Guo Ziyi's military orders.

At this time, Cheng Qianli was studying Qi Yuhua's silver medal. He was very curious. He had heard that Li Qing'an had intelligence agencies all over the country, and Hebei Road was no exception. The front of the silver medal was engraved with the five words "Neiwei Intelligence Hall" in seal script, and the back was engraved with the word "2".

From this silver medal, we can see that the Hebei Road Intelligence Branch has a high position in the internal intelligence hall and is actually ranked second. So who would this young woman who served as the hall master?

There were footsteps outside, and several soldiers walked in with a young woman. The woman was very beautiful, but there was a hint of murderous aura in her beauty. Cheng Qianli was slightly surprised and found that the woman was actually one-armed.

Qi Yuhua walked in, nodded slightly to Cheng Qianli, and introduced herself: "I'm the surname Qi, and I am the head of the Hebei Branch of the Neiwei Intelligence Hall. I'm inconvenient, so I can't salute me."

"It's okay! It's okay!"

Cheng Qianli was very polite. He returned the silver medal to Qi Yuhua first and said with a smile: "But I didn't expect that Master Qi would appear in Xiangzhou, so I was disrespectful."

He said he was disrespectful, but he was still very suspicious. Although the other party took out a silver medal, Cheng Qianli still didn't believe it very much. He knew that An Lushan had seized the Hebei Intelligence Hall in Youzhou not long ago. Who knew whether this silver medal would fall into An Lushan's hands at that time. Now he is cheating himself in turn. He is facing a great enemy, so he dare not be careless.

Qi Yuhua saw his doubts, then smiled faintly, took out a letter and handed it to him, "General Cheng, please take a look at this again."

Cheng Qianli took the letter and called it. It turned out to be Li Qing'an's handwritten letter. Qi Yuhua was named the head of the Hebei branch. There was Li Qing'an's handwritten signature and seal. Cheng Qianli finally believed it. He hurriedly said, "I am rude, Master Qi is please sit down!"

The two sat down, and Cheng Qianli asked, "I wonder why Lord Qi came to Xiangzhou?"

"I am here under the order of the General to come to Xiangzhou to assist General Cheng in defending the city and do my part to the upcoming battle in Xiangzhou."

Of course, Cheng Qianli knew that the people from the Hebei Intelligence Hall came to help him not to defend the city, but to have another article. He hurriedly asked, "I wonder how Master Qi is going to help us?"

Qi Yuhua turned around and waved her hand. The soldier just now brought a wooden plate and came forward. The wooden plate was the burden she brought.

"Please untie it for me!"

The soldier placed the wooden plate in front of Cheng Qian and quickly untied the brocade bag. He saw that there was a pigeon shot to death inside, which penetrated the chest with an arrow, and there was a mail tube inside.

"General Cheng, this is a carrier pigeon that my subordinates shot in the city last night. General Cheng might as well take a look at the information in the signal tube."

Cheng Qianli skeptically untied the message tube tied to the pigeon's legs, shook out the letter inside and spread it on the table, and read it quickly. His face suddenly changed. This turned out to be a defensive information in Xiangzhou City, including the thickness of the huge rocks blocking the four gates, the number of civilians participating in the city defense, the food storage status in the city, and other extremely sensitive information.

"This, who did this information!"

Because of nervousness, Cheng Qianli stood up suddenly. If this information falls into An Lushan's hands, it will greatly weaken his city defense. As soon as he thinks, sweat will seep out of his forehead, which is so dangerous! Fortunately, he was intercepted by Li Qing'an's intelligence hall, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, the little bit of prejudice that he had in mind because the other party was a woman disappeared. He was full of gratitude and bowed to Qi Yuhua for his long time and said, "Thank you, Lord Qi, for your help, Mr. Cheng is very grateful."

"General Cheng, the information point that An Lushan planted in Xiangzhou City is Baiyutang Cabinet. I wonder how General Cheng is going to deal with it?"

Cheng Qianli stared at the dead pigeon on the table and gritted his teeth, "If you can get such detailed information, there must be an insider in our army. I will send troops to destroy it immediately!"

Qi Yuhua said slowly: "Don't General Cheng want to use him?"

"Use?" Cheng Qianli was stunned. He suddenly realized, "You mean..."

Qi Yuhua took the information on the table and sneered: "The author of this information is Song Yi, the second shopkeeper of Baiyutang Cabinet. As long as he controls this person, General Cheng can send him any information that An Lushan wants him to know. Isn't this more meaningful than destroying them?"

Cheng Qianli was overjoyed, and he was amazed: "Lord Qi is really smart, what do you need me to do?"

Qi Yuhua raised her head and said proudly: "I want to ask General Cheng to borrow three thousand elite soldiers. I will do other things for you."

Baiyutang Cabinet House is indeed the spy of An Lushan faction in Xiangzhou City. To be precise, they were sent by Gaoshang Institute. Before An Lushan officially launched an army, he sneaked into Xiangzhou City to collect various information about the defenders of Xiangzhou City. Half a month ago, the Cabinet House was officially opened. The reason why the Cabinet House was opened was mainly for the convenience of bribery and bribery. At that time, there was no need to bring gold and silver to the door. Just hand over a ticket for Baiyutang Cabinet House to complete the purchase of a large amount of money, which was very simple and convenient.

The location of Baiyutang Cabinet House was originally a cabinet shop, which was opened by Yang Huahua, covering an area of ​​nearly 50 acres. After An Lushan rebelled, Yang Huahua sold the shop at a low price of 5,000 guan. The shop not only had a ground warehouse, but also an underground warehouse, which could save more than one million guan. Baiyutang Cabinet House opened for more than ten days, and the business was extremely deserted. At this time, everyone had to keep the money in their hands. Who would keep the money in the cabinet shop? However, many people came to ask about the ability to do "fly money", that is, withdraw money from other places, and it was difficult to carry more money on the way to escape. Unfortunately, Baiyutang Cabinet House was only one, and there were no branches in other places, so it was impossible to carry out the flying money business, which disappointed many people. After more than ten days of opening, the Cabinet House only did three serious businesses, and the savings did not exceed a thousand guan.

Despite this, the cabinet shop is still open early and closed late. The shopkeeper and the client work hard, running around the city every day. In name, they are trying to win over customers to save money, but in fact they are exploring various information in the city. Every day after night falls, the clients from all over the city will come back to report the day's intelligence gains, and then accept the new mission the next day.

In the evening, Baiyutang Cabinet House began to close the store as usual. At this time, all the friends came back from all over the city and gathered together for a meeting. This was very necessary. Often, several people's information was combined, which was a very valuable information. Gao Shang assigned them the task of sending a letter every two days, so they were under great pressure and had to gain every day.

The room was brightly lit, and twenty-four friends and shopkeepers gathered together. Everyone was sharing what they had today. There were three shopkeepers, the big shopkeeper, the second shopkeeper, and the third shopkeeper. In fact, these three were responsible for internal affairs, intelligence analysis and sorting. Finally, the second shopkeeper Song Yi wrote the letter of the pigeon, and the pigeon was sent to the camp outside the city.

Today they received extremely important information. Several friends also discovered that the Tang army was digging pits and burying urns beside four city gates. Based on their experience, they immediately determined that it was the Tang army preventing the Yan army from digging tunnels into the city.

But unfortunately, they are not yet able to determine the exact location and the number of buried urns.

The shopkeeper's surname is Mao. He is a general under An Lushan and an officer of An Qingxu. He is a scout. All tasks are arranged by him. He is illiterate, but all information must be stamped by him to send it out. Therefore, his golden seal is also the key, but it is not a big problem to be imitated and engraved.

The second shopkeeper Song Yi once worked as the shopkeeper of the cabinet shop and wrote good writing, so he was responsible for the operation of the cabinet shop. However, he was also Gao Shang's confidant, Gao Shang only recognized the information he wrote.

The third shopkeeper, named Wang, is a literate officer with no background. He is responsible for carrying pigeons and sorting out intelligence.

Manager Mao Da is dark and thick, and has a loud voice. "Lu San, this task is left to you. Tomorrow you must find the Tang army commander who is responsible for burying the urn. No matter how much the price is spent, you must bribe this person."

"I know this person."

Another guy next to him said, "It seems Qin Jinxian, who is the general of the Engineer's Battalion. This person is not only responsible for burying the urn, but also for installing the heavy trench on the front of the city. I asked only today, and I heard that he raised a woman in the city and had to spend the night at the woman's house at night."

"Okay! As long as there is a woman, there will be a breakthrough. Tomorrow, we will open a gap from this woman. We must instigate this person to reverse it."

"General Mao, I also have information. I heard that Tang Jun was collecting a big pot from door to door, but I don't know why?"

"I have heard of it, but the big pot and all the iron tools have to be searched, maybe it is a melting casting knife."

Everyone talked, saying a word, the second shopkeeper and the third shopkeeper were recording quickly, and the atmosphere in the room was very warm.

Just as everyone was holding a meeting, a large number of troops appeared outside the cabinet, silently evacuating all the residents around the cabinet. The army hid in the residential buildings around the cabinet, surrounded the cabinet in a very hidden way. Although the army was large, it was not easy to realize Qi Yuhua's strategy. The key was to first control the carrier pigeon. This was one, and secondly, to capture the second shopkeeper Song Yi alive. If you grasp these two points, there would be almost no problem.

The surrounding area of ​​the cabinet was very quiet, but there was still an invisible murderous intent in the silence, which made people passing by frightened. Of course, no one would pass by here, and both ends of the East Street were martial law by the army.

At this time, a carriage drove over and stopped in front of the cabinet. A few people who looked like friends came down and carried a large heavy box.

‘Bang! Bang!’ Someone was slamming the door hard, “Shopkeeper Song, Shopkeeper Song!”

After a moment, lights appeared in the store and someone asked, "Who is it!"

"I! Can't you hear it? Zhang Debao, the shopkeeper of Hanzhong Restaurant, is here to save some money. Are you Shopkeeper Song here?"

Zhang Debao is enthusiastic and all the businesses around him know him, and the people in the Guest House are no exception.

"Oh! It's Manager Zhang, please wait, I'll report it."

"Go quickly! I want to save three thousand silver dollars, your big business is here."

Zhang Debao was a little nervous and kept looking around, while his five men were all big and round waisted and quick-moving. They were elites in Cheng Qianli's scout camp and were responsible for capturing Song Yi.

At this time, Qi Yuhua appeared outside the high wall of the backyard of the cabinet. She brought more than 30 people. They had confirmed that the pigeon was hiding in the backyard. Qi Yuhua was fully responsible for this action. She formulated the action plan very carefully. Just now, one of her subordinates had climbed up the wall to find the pigeon cage. They only needed to steal the pigeon cage, but Qi Yuhua did not dare to take action easily. She must first arrest Song Yi before she could steal the pigeon cage, otherwise she would be shocked and Song Yi would be very likely to be silenced.

Without this writer, the information they imitated will easily be seen, and it is best to be the original writer's original pen.

Soon, the lights in the lobby of the cabinet shop were on, and the laughter of the shopkeeper Song Yi came from the store, "Shopkeeper Zhang, why do you come to save money in the middle of the night?"

"I guess An Lushan may not be able to break the city. My money is not safe in the store and is easily stolen. It is better to be more at ease with you."

"Haha! Manager Zhang is very confident in the officers and soldiers!"

The store door opened, and the tall and thin Song Yi showed up in front of everyone with a pot of tea and smiled. "I heard that Manager Zhang wants to deposit silver dollars, this is a scarce product!"
