Another day.

dawn.

In Jingzhao Prefecture, which was heavily guarded by heavy troops, there were light cavalry of the Yuan army heading towards Sanyuan City like a torrent. In such a dry season, the yellow dust rolled on the official road.

There is a shop for Baixi Festival in Jingzhao Mansion.

Yellow sail is hung outside the shop.

Such a shop is still a bit unlucky for ordinary people, and it will appear quite deserted when it is ordinary.

What is unknown is that this shop is actually the head office of the Military Information Department in Jingzhao Prefecture. It is also the head office of the entire Jingzhao Prefecture.

In addition to this main hall, the Military Intelligence Department also has a dark hall in Jingzhao Prefecture.

The chief hall is responsible for sorting out the information in the entire Jingzhao Prefecture, and then transmitting it to various places. The dark hall collects various information in the Jingzhao Prefecture City.

As for the spies from the MIIS, except for the detailed list of them in Xuanxue, no one knows who they are.

It is not without reason that the MIIS was able to completely suppress the Yuan Dynasty's spider web in terms of intelligence in less than ten years.

The spy skills passed down by Zhao Dongting are too many and too many years ahead of this era.

The two thousand light cavalry had just left the city, and the people walked into this Baixi Shop.

When he entered the house, he said to the servant in the shop: "Two cents of yellow paper, three incense sticks, and three candles."

While saying this, he made gestures obscurely.

The servant has never seen this person before.

Because those who are responsible for inquiring about information in Jingzhao Mansion are old faces, but those who convey information are exchanged very quickly.

It is impossible for someone to often need to go to the Baixi Festival shop.

There must be people from the Yuan Dynasty spider webs in places like Jingzhao Prefecture. If even the person who conveys the message is old, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.

After looking at this man a few times, the young servant, who was still young, said, "The business is too small, don't do it."

The man said again: "Everyone is big or small. Since you open a store, how can you not please customers from all directions?"

The servant nodded and said, "Then I have to go and ask the boss!"

Then he walked inside.

This person's code was correct.

Soon a man with a goatee-bearded look like a shopkeeper, who was about fifty or sixty years old, followed the servant out.

Go to the counter and ask, "What do you need?"

The man replied, "Buy whatever incense candle."

The shopkeeper asked the servant to bring him incense and candles.

The man asked again, "How much does it cost?"

The shopkeeper said: "Fifteen-patterned."

The man took out the money from his bag and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The servant also came over with some incense and candles at this time and put them in front of the man.

No more words.

The man walked out of the shop with incense and candles.

The shopkeeper also walked to the back of the store.

Until his own room.

He spread his hands, and in addition to the fifteen copper plates, there was also a small note on his hands.

The numbers on the small note are dense.

The shopkeeper found the booklet corresponding to the secret words from under the bed, and translated them into words one by one according to the numbers.

The two thousand yuan army went to Sanyuan, two Zhenwu realms, and five Shangyuan realms.

When these words appeared on the paper one by one, the shopkeeper frowned slightly.

The Military Intelligence Department has spies in the defenders of Jingzhao Prefecture, and they are not ordinary soldiers. It is not difficult to get such information. What is difficult now is how to pass the message out.

Chai Liren had tens of thousands of troops stationed in Jingzhao Prefecture, surrounded the entire Jingzhao Prefecture and was covered with martial law on the entire line. It was not an exaggeration to say that even a carrier pigeon could not fly out.

Moreover, places like Jingzhao Mansion usually do not have pigeons. Pigeons are always too easy to be exposed.

In the past, there was information about Jingzhao Prefecture, which was transmitted to Changsha by spies of all levels.

The MIIS just allocates the car and travel expenses to these spies every year.

After a while, the shopkeeper walked out of the room and asked the servant: "Which family in the neighborhood needs to go out of the city for burial recently?"

The servant thought for a while and replied, "The old father of the shopkeeper Zhang seems to be out of the city for burial today."

The shopkeeper asked again: "Was the funeral team we introduced?"

The servant nodded and said, "Yes."

"That's good!"

The shopkeeper's face showed a little joy and said, "You watch in the shop, I'll go to Zhang Zhang's house."

Then he left the store.

The Military Intelligence Department is an extremely large organization. Just the main hall of Jingzhao Prefecture, there are no less than ten people who specialize in transmitting information and outside the city.

Most of them are fixed merchants, and they can buy goods and sell goods as a guise.

Of course, there are also people with other identities.

It's just that the identity that has enough reason to leave the city is.

The spy arranged in the mourning band is specifically designed to deal with this special situation.

Because no matter whether it is a war or not, no one will stop the funeral procession. Because this is inhumane, no one will find it unlucky.

In this era, the concept of "the dead is the greatest" is very important.

When I went to Zhang Manager Zhang’s pawn shop, it was very lively inside.

It took several days for Manager Zhang’s old father to die. Although it was a time of chaos, Manager Zhang was not short of money and had to handle everything he should do.

Various gongs and drums can be heard far away.

When the shopkeeper arrived, it was the person in the pawnshop who planned to attend the funeral of Zhang's father.

The shopkeeper rushed straight into the crowd of people beating drums and said to one of them: "Old Li, here is here!"

Old Li said, "The shopkeeper has a worker to introduce him to us?"

He is the secret spy of the MIIS in this mourning band. The shopkeeper of Bai Xishi Shop used to introduce business to the mourning band through him.

The others were also kind to the shopkeeper and laughed.

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "There is no business. I just come and see what you guys are doing to Zhang Zhang, but they are working hard."

Then he possessed himself to Lao Li's ear and whispered: "There are two more Zhenwu realms in the two thousand Yuan army, and five Shangyuan realms are heading to Sanyuan City. You can send this news to Lantian."

The pawn shop was in a mess, and no one could hear what he was saying.

Old Li's face turned a little serious and nodded.

Afterwards, they followed the relatives who were attending the funeral and the coolies carrying the coffin of the old shopkeeper out of the shop.

The shopkeeper also went to his Baixishi shop on his own.

Speaking of which, the matter of delivering messages is not complicated. If you are not careful, every step will be dangerous.

Because although the spider webs are not as good as the spider-web's spider-in-military, they may also appear anywhere.

Soon, the funeral team arrived at the southern gate of Jingzhao Prefecture. Here, they were stopped by the Yuan army guarding the city and were interrogated.

At such a war, the Yuan army's investigation was quite strict.

Everyone in the funeral procession was interrogated and searched, and even opened the coffin to look.

After seeing the body of the old shopkeeper who was already rotten inside, he hurriedly covered the lid of the coffin and waved his hand in disgust: "Go away quickly!"

Lao Li brought only words, so he couldn't find anything.

The funeral procession left the city.

When he arrived outside the city, Lao Li and the leader of the mourning band took a leave and went to Lantian County alone.

He said he wanted to take this opportunity to see relatives in Lantian County, and he didn't know how his life has been in the recent past after Lantian County was occupied by the Song army.

No one doubted him for such a reason.

After all, Old Li has been following this band for more than ten years, and everyone is still aware of it.

...

Guide Prefecture on Nanjing Road.

Su Quandang led the Jiankang Military Region army to the outside of the city gate at noon.

While he was still on the road, Su Quandang had already spoken and asked the soldiers to take Xiayi County and have a meal.

This will have some effect on improving morale.

When they arrived outside Xiayi County, there was no trace of the defenders on the head of Xiayi County.

Xu Fuxing arranged 5,000 troops in Mangdang Mountain, hoping to block the footsteps of the Song Dynasty's imperial guards with the natural danger of Mangdang Mountain. In Xiayi County, no soldiers were sent to guard the troops.

Later, the text quickly captured Mangdang Mountain, and the news came to Xiayi County. The officials and guards in Xiayi County were all in panic and did not dare to resist, so they hurried to Guide Prefecture City.

Xu Fuxing had no intention of sending heavy troops to guard Xiayi County again. All he wanted was to protect Guide Mansion before the reinforcements from Zhanbutai arrived.

After Su Quandang used a telescope to observe the situation on the city wall, he sent soldiers to the city to investigate.

Then, he naturally led his army to Xiayi County, which seemed a bit deserted.
