Guanzhong, Hu County.
Because it is adjacent to Chang'an, Hu County has always been a distribution center for goods and news in Guanzhong; and because it is close to Zhongnan Mountain, it is convenient for criminals to escape to the deep mountains to hide, so fish and dragons are mixed.
In such a critical area, the power of Tsingyi Yamen should not be underestimated. And tonight, Tsing Yi Yamen is on the move. Their target is the county magistrate of Hu County. Now, they have taken control of the county government.
To be precise, he entered the county government.
The battle was fierce. With the vigor of the Tsing Yi yamen swordsman, he suddenly attacked and conquered this small county yamen. It took an incense stick of time and 30 people were killed or killed.
This made Ma Zheng very unhappy.
As the commander of this operation, before he left, he was repeatedly told by the leader to make a quick decision and not to make too much noise and let the news leak out. But right now, it was clear that his task was not well done.
To be honest, Ma Zheng cannot be blamed for this.
No one could have expected that in a small county government office, there were actually two monks who were in the middle of Qi training. If it weren't for Ma Zheng's strength enough to hold back the opponent, tonight's action would probably fail.
Ma Zheng, who was unhappy, was naturally not very polite when interrogating the magistrate who was covered in bruises. Although the county magistrate seemed even angrier than him, when he saw him, he spit bloody saliva and asked why the Tsingyi Yamen wanted to assassinate the imperial court official, and kept asking what the law was.
"Noisy!" Ma Zheng took the scabbard and slapped the magistrate's face, which swelled up for a long time. He almost lost his breath, and then he sat on the bench in satisfaction.
He took out a letter and threw it away in front of the other party. Ma Zheng said contemptuously: "Magistrate Liu, I heard that you also came from a hard background. After ten years of hard work, you only got a high school. How come you just became the county magistrate and forgot about it?" Duty, become so greedy for money? You dare to take money from the Khitan people, and your conscience is eaten by dogs?"
The county magistrate Liu, who had already died, blushed immediately when he heard the words, and let out a beast-like growl from his throat: "Nonsense! How could I accept money from the Khitan people? The northern barbarians have something to do with it!"
Ma Zheng sneered, "You really don't cry when you see the coffin. You didn't take away the gold, silver and jewelry from the Jinbei Company, right? You didn't refuse to buy military and political news from you, did you?"
County magistrate Liu was dumbfounded for a while, and reluctantly said: "They said that this is to keep abreast of the court's national policy and local conditions, seize the business opportunities hidden inside, and do business better. This... What does it have to do with the Khitan people?"
Ma Zheng stood up, since the other party has confessed, he has no reason to continue talking nonsense with the other party, "The Tsing Yi Yamen has found out that the behind-the-scenes owner of the Jinbei Company is a Khitan.
"You gave you a lot of money and asked you to help them. You bought all kinds of news about military and political affairs in the court. You just wanted to spy on my military affairs through various clues. Liu Zhihe, do you understand now? Are you here? Traitor!"
Liu Zhihe's face was completely pale. He knew that the Tsingyi Yamen would not lie to him, so he cried desperately and screamed: "Captain Ma, I have wronged you! I really don't know that the Jinbei shop is actually owned by Khitan people." Industry! I was confused at the next moment, next, next... "
"Okay, magistrate Liu, you don't have to talk to me."
Ma Zheng waved his hand indifferently, and when he was about to go out, he suddenly sneered, and turned around and said: "Ordinary people are stupid, at most they have a hard life. But you are sitting in the position of county magistrate, but you don't have a single brain Who can you blame for the ruin of your family?"
Having said that, Ma Zheng walked out the door.
Then, Liu Zhihe's dying screams sounded inside.
After finishing his errands and returning to the stronghold of Tsingyi Yamen from the county government, Ma Zheng ordered his subordinates to return to their positions, and he did not stop at all, and went straight to the gate of the commander. Seeing that the lights were bright inside, he knocked on the door to report the situation according to the commander's previous instructions.
Few people below know what the real name of the leader of the Tsingyi Yamen in Huxian County is. But everyone knows that the other party's nickname is Tie Ban. It is said that before he was transferred to the Tsingyi Yamen Commander of Hu County, he was a hidden stake in Jincheng County, Lanzhou, Hexi, so everyone called him Tie Commander.
Tie Ban was reading at night with the lights on. After listening to Ma Zheng's report, he waved his hand to signal the other party to sit down, and waited for him to finish the article.
In fact, Tie Ban didn't like to read books, but he had heard that it would show him depth in front of his subordinates and make him less likely to be deceived. Although Tie Ban believes that whether he will be deceived by his subordinates depends on his wisdom and skill, it has nothing to do with whether he pretends to be knowledgeable or not. However, the tide is so big, so I have to go with the flow.
"Magistrate Liu admitted that he secretly communicated with Khitan and betrayed the court's military and political information?" Tie Ban asked unhurriedly, but his eyes were on the pages of the book.
Ma Zheng said respectfully: "Although Liu Zhihe yelled that he was wronged, he has already admitted his dealings with Jinbei Company."
Tie Ban hummed indifferently, without raising his head, he said, "So what about you, Ma Zheng? When did you admit that you had contacts with the Khitan people and sold information about the Tsingyi Yamen to them?"
Ma Zheng was taken aback, forced himself to be calm, and said with a hard smile: "Commander Tie, don't make fun of your subordinates. In this critical period, your subordinates can't stand Commander Tie's teasing!"
Tie Ban put down the book, looked at Ma Zheng solemnly, his tiger eyes were like swords: "Do you think this commander is joking with you? To tell you the truth, I asked you to arrest Liu Zhihe today just to see if you are in collusion with him Facts have proved that the Khitan people are really meticulous in their actions, and you are all in Hu County, but you have nothing to do with each other."
Speaking of this, Tie Pan suddenly realized, "Of course, this may also be Liu Zhihe. He really doesn't know that the Khitan people are behind the Jinbei Company, and he really won't sell the news to the Khitan people."
Ma Zheng noticed that Iron Man's attitude was firm, and he couldn't help feeling on pins and needles, but he still didn't show it on his face. He forced a smile and said: "Commander Tie, your subordinates really have nothing to do with the Khitan people. If you don't believe Commander Tie, you can check..."

"I've already found out. Ma Zheng, when things come to an end, you still don't repent? Do you really want me to take off your head and send you to the palace of the King of Hades with my own hands?" Tie Ban's eyes were full of murderous intent.
Before he finished speaking, Ma Zheng suddenly moved.
But instead of shooting at the iron plate, he broke out through the window and flew away quickly!
Tie Ban sneered, but didn't pursue, and didn't even get up, picked up the book and started to read again.
Ma Zheng's screams, roars and prayers sounded outside the window.
Soon, Ma Zheng, who was covered in bruises like Liu Zhihe, entered the iron room again, but this time he came with a deposit.
Glancing at Ma Zheng, who was kneeling on the ground and still vomiting blood, Tiban sighed in pain, "Tell me, why?"
Knowing that there was no way out, Ma Zheng looked up to the sky and smiled miserably.
When he lowered his head, his face was extremely ferocious, "Why? It's very simple, they kidnapped my family! Commander Tie, I don't want to treason, but I can't just watch my family die!
"I came from a poor background, and I entered the Tsingyi yamen just to feed and clothe a large family! The Khitan kidnapped them, Commander Tie, tell me, what can I do?!"
Tie Ban frowned and said: "You should report it, Tsing Yi Yamen has the ability to save your family. You don't even believe this, do you?"
Ma Zheng shook his head in pain, "The cultivation base of the person here is too high, higher than you, Commander Tie. After I was knocked out, I was taken to their foothold. At that time, if I didn't explain what they wanted to know If anything happens, they will kill all my mother and siblings in front of me!"
Speaking of this, Ma Zheng seemed to have exhausted all his strength, slumped on the ground, and said with blank eyes: "With this beginning, the following things will not stop. Even if you can call for masters, Commander Tie, they will all If it is destroyed, my family will definitely die first. Commander Tie, I have no choice, no way... "
At the end, Ma Zheng cried with his head in his arms.
Tie Ban waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to take Ma Zheng down.
He sat alone for a long time and began to write official documents.
Tie Ban didn't know how many people there were in Tsing Yi Yamen, but it was definitely a huge number.
There are even more relatives behind the Tsing Yi yamen.
There is no force that can protect each of them and ensure that they are all safe and sound under the hands of the great monk. Ma Zheng's tragedy now seems almost impossible to eliminate.
...
As a time traveler, Li Ye certainly knows how important intelligence work is in war. In many cases, whoever masters the enemy's military deployment can win the battlefield. On the contrary, if you lag behind others in information, most of what awaits you is a horse stumbles, and you don't know it when your death is imminent.
Therefore, when he realized that Khitan has secret operations in the territory of Tang Dynasty, and there are quite a few of them, and the effect is not much worse than that of Tsingyi Yamen, even in front of Song Jiao, he also showed a stern look, and he did not hesitate to use this method. Warn Tsing Yi Yamen.
When Shangguan Qingcheng led the northern expedition to Monan and set off huge waves from the Dangxiang and Shatuo clans, there was also a huge storm of unprecedented scale in the Tang Dynasty. In this storm, countless Khitan disguises were investigated, and countless related people were killed.
Not only Guanzhong, but more than 300 states are bleeding.
It was like a blood cloud shrouded the sky over Datang from the sky, and it rained pouring blood.
Li Ye could not leave Chang'an to fight on the frontier without eradicating all the Khitan minions in the country. It's just that unlike the enemies they faced in the past, the Khitan was much stronger - during the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty these years, they had also made sufficient preparations, which created such a big trouble for Li Ye.
Seeing the official document presented by Song Jiao, Li Ye sighed.
He didn't expect that Khitan's secret work had penetrated Datang to such an extent.
"The government officials are unclear, and there is a problem with the internal confidentiality rules of the Tsingyi Yamen."
Li Ye put down the official document and said to Song Jiao, "I will handle the affairs of the court myself. From now on, the family background of every monk in Tsingyi Yamen must be kept completely secret, and even fellow robes are not allowed to inquire about each other. Commander, beheaded.
"Those who enter the Tsingyi Yamen are not allowed to tell their family members their real identity and actual location. Family members are not allowed to inquire about military affairs. Meetings with family members must be arranged by the commander. The place is specially selected and the number of times is limited. All letters must be inspected. Anyone who leaks information, cut.
"Also, arrange cover status for them in the army."
Song Jiao nodded: "I will do it."
Li Ye closed his eyes and rubbed the center of his brows.
Song Jiao asked: "It is easy to rectify the Tsingyi yamen, but it is difficult to rectify the administration of officials. After all, you are only King An, not the emperor. It has been found out that the people who betrayed the court's military aircraft are all ministers, and most of them are old people of His Majesty. If you move them , no matter what the reason is, everyone and His Majesty will think that you want to... "
"Your Majesty, seeking to usurp the throne?" Li Ye shook his head, "I will speak to Your Majesty about this matter."
Song Jiao stopped talking. No matter who it is, it's hard to say much about Li Ye and Li Yan.
Seeing that Song Jiao still didn't leave, Li Ye said in surprise, "Is there anything else?"
Song Jiao uniquely showed hesitation and pain, looked at Li Ye several times, her eyes were full of worry, concern, and sympathy, raised her spirits several times, and then said in a difficult voice: "Yunzhou Shatuo... . .. battle report."
Seeing Song Jiao's appearance, Li Ye couldn't help but thump in his heart.
In an instant, a grief so intense that it could not be resolved surrounded his whole body like a raging fire. At this moment, he felt his heart twitch, the kind of twitch that was pulled out of his chest.
He couldn't help but think of the lonely and desolate back of Shangguan Qingcheng rushing towards the rebels when he set himself on fire in the Xuanwu Tower in his previous life, and the last sentence she left behind, "I use my blood to do my best for Your Majesty!"
Li Ye opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't make a sound, and the tears were uncontrollable, streaming all over his face. He felt that his body no longer belonged to him, because he couldn't stop the violent shaking of his hands and feet.
He is like an innocent boy who has lost the love of his beloved girl.
...
Song Jiao knelt down to Li Ye for the first time, and said sadly: "In the battle of Luoyankou, when the Spike Army was exhausted, it was surrounded and attacked by 300,000 Khitan troops. Although nearly 70,000 soldiers fought bloody battles, they still could not defeat the enemy. military.
"In the fierce battle until dusk, although more than 100,000 enemies were killed, there were no more than 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000, , the lord general, Shangguan Qingcheng, was seriously injured and fell into a coma... "
Li Ye grabbed the armrest, leaned forward, and asked in a creaking voice, "Then what?"
Song Jiaodao: "Fortunately, when Shangguan Qingcheng went to the party, he didn't let 30,000 infantry troops accompany the army, but arranged for them to march to Yunzhou early. After the 5,000 wolf-fanged troops broke through the siege, they were followed and killed by Khitan. The army responded at the mountain pass, and only then did they repel the Khitan's chasing enemies... King Qi was also seriously injured in order to save Shangguan Qingcheng."
Li Ye was thrown back into the water like a fish on the shore, gasping for breath.
Song Jiao lowered her head, and her voice trembled slightly: "This battle has made the world's most powerful wolf-fanged army fine cavalry almost disappear. More than 60,000 soldiers were buried in the wilderness, and Zhao Nianci's bones were not left... Your Highness, Shangguan Allure, defeated."
Li Ye got up slowly, walked to the door, looked up at the bright moon on the cornice, and was silent for a while.
After a long time, he murmured: "In order to solve the crisis of the whole world attacking Tang, the Spike Army has tried its best. This is the death of Monan, and it is also the death of Great Tang. Gu, the soldiers of Great Tang, and the people of the world will not know each other." Forget about this battle!"
Speaking of this, Li Ye suddenly turned around and said to Song Jiao strictly: "No matter who the important court minister who leaked the military plan is, no matter who he is, no matter what position he holds, and what relationship he has with His Majesty, I order you to arrest him immediately. Anyone who dares to resist will be arrested immediately." Die to kill!"
Song Jiao stood up abruptly, "No!"
Li Ye strode out of the room, "I'm going to see His Majesty."
