After a period of expansion, the Shengjie Army's intelligence force now has twelve action groups.
Su Yin is still the commander-in-chief, and Su Changsheng is the deputy commander-in-chief. The following twelve action team leaders, each with their own areas of responsibility, will summarize the information to the headquarters every once in a while.
Su Yin will send someone to inform Su Yonglin of the important news, so as to gain time and prepare early.
The information intercepted this time is such important information.
"Captain, you must read this letter."
In Yangliu Town, where the intelligence force is secretly stationed, Liu Xinghan, leader of the Sixth Operation Group, hurried over and handed a secret letter he intercepted to Su Yin.
Su Yin took the secret letter, opened it and read it, his brows gradually furrowed.
"Xinghan, you have made a great contribution."
"I also feel that this matter is not trivial."
Liu Xinghan said: "Generally, official documents can be accompanied by at most two or three people, but this secret letter has five people responsible for rushing it. I thought it must be unusual, so I took a risk and intercepted it."
Su Yin immediately stood up.
"You did the right thing. This matter is not trivial. Please forward this letter to Alang immediately. Once the battle is won, the situation will change. Please be sure to make preparations in advance."
"Here!"
Liu Xinghan left Yangliu Town with the secret message and headed quickly towards Tai'an Prefecture.
Later, Chen Jiliang, the leader of the third action team, also made great contributions.
Chen Jiliang intercepted the urgent military message sent by Dongping Mansion to Shuhu Siji, blocked the urgent military message informing Shuhusiji that Jiagu Asu's entire army had been annihilated, and then quickly took him away, destroying the corpses and leaving traces of them, so that Everything looks like it never happened.
Two routes successfully intercepted, but the third route failed. The military document went to Daming Mansion smoothly.
On July 12, when Shuhu Siji's army was encamped at the foot of Nun Mountain near Qufu County and was reorganizing for a while, Tu Danjing, who was in Daming Mansion and was nervously mobilizing troops, received an urgent call from Yelu Chenghui. Junwen, upon seeing it, fainted on the spot.
After the emergency rescue by his subordinates, he faintly woke up. After waking up, he did nothing and immediately hurried to Dongping Mansion.
On the same day, a small-scale encounter occurred between the path explorers of the Jin Army and the path explorers of the Guangfu Army at the junction of Yanzhou and Yizhou. The path explorers of the Guangfu Army were defeated by the Jin Army's path explorers, losing more than a dozen people and leaving two. The three escaped with injuries.
The Jin Army cavalry chased for a while but did not dare to go deep, fearing that they would be surrounded, so they returned to resume their lives.
So on the evening of July 12, both the Jin Army and the Liberation Army knew that the other side was sending sentries to spy on each other's military affairs.
Shuhu Siji asked in detail about the details of the cavalry battle between the two sides, and learned that the Liberation Army cavalry's riding skills were poor, their bodies were not stable, and they were not proficient in horseback fighting techniques. They were also not proficient in cavalry tactics, so they were defeated.
This was in line with Shu Husiji's consistent impression of the Liberation Army, and made Shu Husiji feel a little relieved. He judged that the combat effectiveness of the Liberation Army was not very good, and was no better than the mob.
So Shuhusiji ordered the army to reorganize briefly and then continue to advance into Yizhou territory, preparing to go on a killing spree and deal with the Yizhou rebels ruthlessly.
Along the way, Shuhusiji allowed his troops to rob local areas. Many innocent villages in Dongping Prefecture were robbed, their property was plundered, and many people were killed. The locals scrambled to escape in order to escape. One life.
After entering Yanzhou, the Jin army also committed looting on different scales. Before the battle started, the soldiers tried their best to earn a lot of money.
Only when he arrived in Qufu County, he strictly restrained the army from acting recklessly, and those who disobeyed orders were executed simply and clearly.
As a result, no soldiers dared to act recklessly in Qufu County, and they all tidied down. As a result, Qufu was protected from military disaster.
the reason is simple.
Kong Zheng, the successor to the sage Kong and the contemporary descendant of the Northern Sect of the Kong family, lived here. Like a giant Buddha, it shocked everyone's thoughts about what they should and shouldn't have.
Since the Jin army went south to occupy the Central Plains, the Qufu Kong family lineage has been split into two sects, the northern and southern sects.
Nanzong followed the Song Dynasty to the south and established another sect to serve Zhao Guan's family in the south, providing political legitimacy to Emperor Daojun's only surviving son.
Beizong stayed in Qufu to provide legitimacy for Jin Ting to sit in the Central Plains and open the imperial examination to select scholars. He first obeyed the puppet Qi and then served Jin Ting.
A proper hedging of your bets, traditional arts.
Because it was related to the legitimacy of Jin Ting's rule over the Central Plains and the need to win over Han officials to serve the Jin Ting, the Jin Ting treated the Kong family more favorably than the Northern Song Dynasty treated the Kong family.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Kong family received a large amount of land to worship Confucius, but they still had to pay taxes to the court, which was indispensable.
After the Jinting occupied the Central Plains, with a wave of his hand, the Kong family was exempted from the taxes that should be paid. As a preferential treatment to the Kong family, from then on, all the Kong family's income was simply "after-tax income."
Confucius's name is so resounding that both the Confucian clan, one in the south and the other in the north, can provide legitimacy to the regime.
Scholars all over the world are so happy that they don’t have to worry about forgetting their ancestors after reading the classics. Even if someone says this, they can point to the Kong family in Qufu with certainty - look, aren’t they the same?
Kong's inheritance is not only a golden sign, but also a big pot.
If the Kong family wants to be passed down for thousands of years, it must obediently shoulder the blame and provide the final explanation for the pursuit of fame and fortune by scholars all over the world.
When the situation changes, and when someone needs to do something shameless, Kong will take the lead. If no one wants to take the blame, Kong will take the lead.
The bigger the reputation, the bigger the blame and the bigger the crime.
In the end, all kinds of evil were poured into the Kong family and even Master Kong, but the scholars all over the world still acted wantonly and enjoyed all the glory and wealth.
This is the Kong family, the Confucian Kong family who represents the highest right to speak and the final right of interpretation in feudal society.
Regarding legitimacy, the Jin people did not dare to mess around. Qufu County was equivalent to the Kong family's private territory. Before Shuhu Siji marched, he sent a letter to Kong Zheng to consult him. If Kong Zheng was not happy, he would still It's really difficult.
Fortunately, Kong Zheng was a man who knew how to praise Shuhu Siji, so he proposed that the army could cross the border, but they could not enter the county seat, destroy buildings, or plunder wantonly. his request.
It couldn't be better to praise Fang Shiji. Shuhu Siji agreed to these requests and asked the army to restrain his behavior and station troops at a distance from the county seat to explore the situation and prepare for the march.
To say that the Kong family can be passed down to this day, it does have its own way of survival.
After the army was stationed, Kong Zheng took his family and pushed large and small vehicles to the military camp to work for the army, which made Shuhu Siji very happy.
What Kong Zheng brought was nothing more than some wine, meat, cloth, and "meeting gifts" for senior officers.
Although the items were not too much compared to the 30,000-strong army, he had never thought of sharing them equally among the army, so it naturally seemed like a lot.
With this joy, Shuhu Siji also had some rare leisurely moments before the war started and entertained Kong Zheng in the military camp.
Kong Zheng looked like a gentle and traditional scholar-bureaucrat. He spoke softly and was very polite. He also had the title of Duke, so Shuhu Siji was quite polite to him.
After being stationed in Shandong for more than ten years, Shuhu Siji not only became corrupt, but also gained some superficial understanding of Chinese literature, read a little bit, and wanted to follow the trend, pursue Sinology with everyone, and be arty. , to be a "cultural person".
So he asked Kong Zheng for advice on some questions that he thought were profound to show his "love of learning."
Kong Zheng looked surprised, answered him, and then praised him for his intelligence, which satisfied Shuhu Siji's vanity.
Finally, Shuhu Siji laughed and sent Kong Zheng out of the military camp in person, ending this short but happy conversation.
He felt very happy, so he decided to "ask for advice" from Kong Zheng again after the extermination of the thieves was over.
On the other side, Kong Zheng slowly returned to Qufu County with his family's motorcade.
On the way, Kong Zheng's old servant who had been with him for decades was puzzled by Kong Zheng's even somewhat flattering behavior.
"Alang, that Shuhu Siji is clearly a rough guy. Even a young child can answer those questions. Why do you still praise him so much?"
