The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1029 The Power of Death
On the upper reaches of the Xiongnu River on the northern border of the Liao Kingdom, the battle between the Mongols, the Jurchens, and the Khitans came to an end under the watchful eyes of several spies.

These few spies, one on two horses, were hundreds of miles away from the battlefield, dressed up as Liao scouts, and observed the entire battlefield just like that.

The Mongols fought with the Khitan and Jurchen tribes for a day, and each retreated. The scout also retreated and entered the Liao army camp directly.

At night, on the battlefield where the two sides are fighting, even the people who cleaned the battlefield have retreated.

A few men in rogue costumes sneaked up to this very dark place and groped without feeling panicked.

This group of people didn't dare to light torches, as this place was very close to the Mongolian, Jurchen, and Khitan camps, and patrols would come out at any time, and lighting torches in the vast grassland at night was like a bright light.

But there are various wild beasts in the grassland at night. For example, the grassland wolves are active at night, which shows that they are also risking their lives.

Several people groped for nearly an hour, and finally a man whispered: "Boss, I got it!"

The leader nodded and the others continued to grope, and after another half an hour another man whispered, "Leader, I got it!"

People reported one after another, and after about two hours, the leader said: "It's time, let's go! This place is too dangerous!" The team leader immediately ordered everyone to retreat, and it didn't take long for anyone to be seen.

It seems that this group of people has never appeared on the grassland!
In the Palace of the Great Song Dynasty, Lu Heng and the ministers were discussing the memorials of the Western Regions. The Western Regions lacked cattle. Cai Jing begged to send [-] cattle. When the lion opened his mouth to play the memorial, Wu Song came to report to Zhuge Zhengwo to see him.

Lu Heng glanced at Qin Han, who shook his head to express his ignorance, indicating that it was information that even the Secretary of the Imperial City had not grasped, and it was probably foreign information rather than domestic information.

Imperial City Division and Jinyiwei are currently the two major intelligence agencies under Lu Heng. Their nature is somewhat similar to the FIB and CIA of the beautiful countries in later generations. They are brothers but the relationship is not very good. Ahem, although they are not to the point of sending spies to each other.

As the younger brother formed later, Huangcheng Division has now controlled the territory of the Song Dynasty after more than ten years of development, including the Western Regions, Daozhou, Haizhou and other places.

Jin Yiwei, on the other hand, has stepped out of the country, taking advantage of the multi-ethnic characteristics of the Liao Kingdom and the Jurchen, to infiltrate other countries for intelligence collection. Of course, not only for the enemy, but also for allies, Cao Wei, Siam, and Dali are also full of information about the Song Dynasty. personnel, even now the Western Maritime Silk Road and the Western Silk Road are the best routes for exporting intelligence personnel.

Some things are really determined by the buttocks, and when you reach that height, you will know why you want to do it.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War" has a saying: "There are five kinds of time, there is a cause, there is an interior, there is a reverse, there is a death, and there is a life. The five rise together, and no one knows the way. It is called the gods, the treasure of the king. also."

Sun Tzu's Art of War says that if the five types of spies are used simultaneously, the enemy will be unpredictable and difficult to deal with. This is a magical principle and a magic weapon for the monarch to defeat the enemy.

All the five great Song Dynasty have them. There are Jinyiwei spies among the scouts of the Liao Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom on the grassland.
In ancient cities without radios and mobile phones, it is okay to connect, but the wartime is an important source of information. In addition, the vast grassland is not like the hinterland of the Song Dynasty where flying pigeons can be used to pass books, let alone the Jurchens use Haidongqing to investigate The presence!
Therefore, it was very difficult for the intelligence personnel who went deep into the enemy's country to send messages, and it was very difficult for Da Song to obtain the information. Later, he found out that the scouts could use their positions to convert the information into coded words, and hide them around the battlefield to leave special marks.

In this way, the message is transmitted, and in this way, someone must take back the message, so that the first team appeared on the field at the beginning, and then they reached the safe range and passed the letter with flying pigeons.

In this way, it is also possible to tell whether the intelligence personnel are still alive. After all, their identities are scouts, and the death rate of scouts during wars is very high!

No news was delivered several times in a row. It can be basically judged that this intelligence officer has died, and new intelligence personnel will be sent to infiltrate the enemy.

Now the Jinyiwei of the Song Dynasty has a mature system in surrounding countries!
The transmitted information was concentrated in various locations of Jinyiwei, where there were dedicated translators and decryptors. They were submitted and uploaded layer by layer according to the importance of the information, and finally reached the hands of Gu Yong and Zhuge Zhengwo.

Therefore, Lu Heng can basically judge that if it is a major domestic event that requires Zhuge Zhengwo to report personally, then Qin Han must know and report it almost at the same time.

But obviously Qin Han doesn't know about it now, so it is very likely that the Imperial City Division has not touched the place.

Zhuge Zhengwo, led by Qin Han, came to Lu Heng and whispered: "Your Majesty, Mongolia, Liao and Jin are already at war. This is the intelligence of the Battle of the Xiongnu River!"

When Lu Heng heard the news from Mongolia, his face was naturally solemn, and he turned on Zhuge Zhengwo's intelligence to observe carefully.

The basic content is an overview of the First Battle of the Xiongnu River, but it focuses on the history of the Mongol war. Lu Heng is also a leader of the army, although the emperor who has been in power for more than ten years has rarely been on the front line.

But Temujin's tactics are very clear, this typical kite flying tactic!
This made Lu Heng's face condense: "Immediately send Bu Zhi and Jiang Wan, the servants of the Military Department, Chen Gong, Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Jia Xu and others from the Military Aircraft Department to come..."

"Here!" Qin Han immediately trotted to let someone pass the message.

At the same time, Lu Heng handed over the information in his hand to everyone to watch. The people present were all the top officials of the Song Dynasty, and there were few secrets about them. In addition, there were several handsome talents in the cabinet, Yu Yunwen, Zhuge Liang, Zong Ze and others were all in the cabinet. .

In terms of intelligence, two pieces of information are very important to Song Dynasty. First of all, even if Boerjijin Temujin went south in person, he would only be on par with the Jurchen and Khitan coalition forces!
Judging from the situation of this battle alone, the Mongols did not get much advantage. Based on this trend, the Mongols basically did not get any benefits from going south, and it is likely to be evenly matched.

In the face of this situation, how Da Song should deal with this situation needs to be discussed with everyone.

Second, Lu Heng keenly discovered that the reason why Jurchen and Khitan were able to fight evenly with the Mongols was that their bow skills were sharp enough!In other words, the effect of the Mongols' devious tactics was minimized.

Similarly, the matter of Tiefutu being run away like a dog was also recorded by the intelligence personnel, which Lu Heng attached great importance to.

The heavy armored cavalry of the Song Dynasty, whether it is the Jingsai Army, Zongyun Cavalry, Thunder Battalion, Ruijin Cavalry, etc., are actually no different from the Tiefutu in essence. The Tiefutu cannot catch up with the Mongolian cavalry. It is also likely that they will not be able to catch up.

In other words, the invincible heavy cavalry has become a burden against the Mongols. Lu Heng noticed that the kidnapped horse caused more damage to the Mongolian cavalry...
