Chapter 723: Abe Force's Intelligence
On the most prosperous street in Xianxiang, where the main mansion of Nanshuixian Township is located, there is also a Caoyuanju Inn to which Jinyuan belongs.
Now, the branches of Caoyuanju Inn have opened all the fairylands in the kingdom. With its high-end quality, good reputation for food and wine, and advanced business and service concepts, it has quickly become the most high-end inns in various places. Of course, it is also the most expensive hotel.
Although the price is the most expensive, it is still full of customers and the business is very prosperous.
However, almost everyone does not know that in every Caoyuanju inn, there is an intelligence liaison station for Jinyuan Xintang. Relying on the favorable conditions for the people coming and going and guarding of Jinyuan Inn, intelligence collectors from all parties are free to come and go and deliver messages.
Yang Lisheng, the head of Xintang, is now in an ordinary guest room in this inn. The house surrounded by ordinary guest rooms is also left blank and not for other guests to live in so that the message can be confidential.
This room is located on the top floor, with an arched roof and is specially made. There is a row of Xinying cages under the arched roof, and there is also a small window that is not easy to be discovered by outsiders. Important news was brought back to Jinyuan headquarters by Xinying from here.
At home and abroad, all Caoyuanju inns basically have such a house.
At this time, Yang Lisheng sat at his desk, sorting out the information sent by various intelligence networks that have been set up these days. The information collected by various intelligence personnel from various places was handed over to room service staff after checking in the inn, and then delivered by room service staff in the name of cleaning or delivering meals.
Most of the news is very ordinary, but although the news is ordinary, it also has accumulated value. He classified the corresponding news one by one, excerpted it on a large piece of paper in small characters on a fly head. There was a large piece every day, and then brought back to the Jinyuan headquarters by Xinying. This was specially explained by the young master Jin Ling.
Suddenly, after seeing a message, Yang Lisheng looked shocked.
The news was sent by one of his powerful instructors, named Abeli. Abeli was a fisherman of the Baiyue tribe of the Man tribe. He was less than 30 years old and was a good fisherman. He often traveled between the Nanshuixian Township and the Baiyue tribe and sold fishing catches.
Although the Northern Jin Kingdom sometimes fought with the Barbarian Ministry, the trade exchanges between the people on both sides were not cut off. The Barbarian Ministry needed iron tools, fishing nets, salt, grain, etc. from Nanshuixian Township, while Nanshuixian Township had a great demand for near-manzee and its land-based catches, animal meat, minerals, and medicinal materials. In terms of fishing catch, the Baiyue people have a unique tradition of advantage.
Therefore, because each has its own wishes, the official level basically turned a blind eye to the private trade exchanges between the two sides and did not prohibit it. Moreover, both sides also took the opportunity to install detailed work on each other to collect information.
Abeli was an informant who developed under this situation. He was a relative of the former patriarch of the Baiyue tribe. According to the Baiyue tribe rules, only the strong can take on the responsibility of the clan leader. Whoever can defeat the current patriarch will be the new patriarch. The former patriarch was defeated in the battle with the current patriarch Lu Dahui, so he lost the position of the patriarch. It turned out that Abeli lived a good life with the relative of the patriarch. However, after changing the patriarch, Abeli's life suddenly became very declining, and he was bullied and suppressed.
At this time, through the introduction of another informant, Yang Lisheng sent him an olive branch. Not only did he give Abeli a lot of money and open up the trade route in the South Narcissus Township, he also promised that as long as he provided information to the Northern Jin, the Northern Jin conquered Baiyue in the future, he would help him become the new Baiyue patriarch, or even the Baiyue king.
Abeli knew that Yang Lisheng's words would not be reliable. But he also knew that if he had the help of such a person, at least he would have hope of revenge. The soldiers of the Baiyue clan who were so poor that they didn't even have an iron knife were simply relying on the advantage of geographical advantages to deal with the Northern Jin Kingdom. If they lost these advantages, they would be nothing.
Therefore, under Yang Lisheng's Jinyuan offensive, Abhili, who had lost power, quickly surrendered and consciously became his informant of collecting intelligence within the Baiyue tribe.
This time, the information sent by Abeli wrote a message that Yang Lisheng attached great importance to, that is, a caravan from the Northern Jin Kingdom entered the Baiyue tribe, and after the clan leader Lu Dahui received it, they hurriedly left. When they came, they brought two big boxes, but they did not take them away when they went there. According to a friend of his friend in the clan leader's guard, the boxes were full of sharp fine iron, sinking iron weapons, and a lot of gold and gold. Moreover, during the conversation, it seemed that he had heard some words such as defense, advance routes, etc.
Yang Lisheng quickly sent Abeli's information back to Jinyuan with the best Shin-eagle. After doing all this, his heart was beating. This young man born in Chunpu Caoyuan Village never thought that when facing the war between the country, someone would do such a collusion between foreign enemies in the kingdom.
Such a thing should only exist in Mr. Sun’s storytelling story, how could it appear before your eyes alive!
Jin Ling, who came to Jinyuan headquarters, received this information half an hour later. This information made him feel very heavy.
Although the information provided by the informant is not clear, the troops are not as fabricated by the barbarians at will, which is inconsistent with their language habits. In other words, the team of North Shanxi merchants actually sent their troops to the enemy to deploy them! In addition, they also gave money and weapons!
I am afraid that the Northern Jin Dynasty will not defeat this southern expedition!
"I knew that there would inevitably be people targeting Jinyuan and me who would make trouble in this matter." He snorted coldly, took the information and went to Shang Ran.
"What happened like this?" Shang Ran was even more shocked. "The defense and advance route of the southern expedition were formulated by the Ministry of War, which only the extremely high-level generals knew about it. Who dares to do this in the kingdom? I want to go to the father to reason with it, and I must find out this person!"
"Shh! Your Highness whispers, this matter cannot be investigated." Jin Ling said.
"Can't check it?" Shang Ran's eyes widened, "The military deployment has been leaked, so it cannot be checked? Then more will be leaked in the future!"
"Of course we can't check it. You'll know it once you check it?" Jin Ling smiled. "If the other party knows, what's the use of our troops deployment and advance route?"
"Hmm?" Shang Ran was puzzled.
"That's it." Jin Ling smiled, "The Manchus know our troops deployment and advance route. But they don't know, we already know that they know. So, as long as we change a little, it is equivalent to setting up a trap for them."
"On the surface, they still use troops according to the original deployment and route, but in fact, there have been some changes. Prepare a secret ambush, for example, our Jinyuan musket team, and attack the ambushers unexpectedly, and then cooperate with the inside and outside to win in one fell swoop."
"Oh!" Shang Ran suddenly realized, "You are going to use the trick!"
"That's right!" Jin Ling said, "A child can teach you."
