Zheng Ping's camp is half of the Fourth Army and consists of two hundred tents. The Jurchens have ten people per tent, and the Xie Congjun has thirty people per tent. This treatment is not bad now, if not
In war, fifty people are crowded into a big tent and treated very badly.
Zheng Ping was promoted to commander, and had an independent tent and fifty soldiers. Naturally, his subordinates from the Song Army pretended to be the commander. With this status as commander and fifty soldiers, it was much easier for Zheng Ping to deliver messages.
.
The two sat down in the tent. Zheng Ping took out a bottle of sake from the box, asked his soldiers to warm the wine, and asked the cook to serve some side dishes to go with the wine.
Not long after, the food and drinks were served. Zheng Ping filled a glass of wine for Li Nong and said bitterly: "You actually said in front of me that you want to arrest the person named Zheng. I really wonder if Du Tong secretly guessed that I am that Zheng Ping?"
Li Nong smiled and said: "That's not true. I probably didn't expect that if I suspected Brother Zheng, I wouldn't notify you to participate in the discussion, or in other words, I would arrest you on the spot."
"It was originally an idiot question. Would Zheng Ping use his real name to lurk? Thanks to Brother Li for reminding the capital, otherwise my surname is Zheng. It would be a serious crime."
"This is actually common sense. Dutong was obviously scolded by the Fourth Prince and was in a daze, so he didn't think of this problem."
Zheng Ping and Li Nong clinked a glass of wine and asked with puzzled faces: "How could the fourth prince know about such a secret thing?"
"I've heard a little bit about this."
Zheng Ping immediately smiled and asked with great interest: "Tell me about it, I am most interested in this kind of thing."
Li Nong smiled mysteriously, "I heard that this morning, the Jin soldiers patrolling Dashanguan City picked up an arrow letter. I guess this is what happened."
Zheng Ping's eyes widened, "Is there a spy in Dashan Pass?"
"It seems that someone betrayed this matter, but it seems that the information is not complete. For example, how Zheng Ping sneaked into the military camp was not mentioned. It is estimated that the person who leaked the secret did not know, but only knew that this happened."
Zheng Ping's brain turned quickly, "It turns out that he is not the leader of the people around him, so who is this bastard who betrayed him?"
Li Nong took a sip of wine and asked with a smile: "I heard that you are going to build a new granary?"
Zheng Ping was pulled back from his thoughts and asked quickly: "Tomorrow I will take people to build the granary. It is said that the management inside is very strict. Brother Li, can you remind me what taboos I should be careful about?"
"Actually, I just want to remind you about this. You must know the little things like not bringing fire. You don't need to remind me. The key is that your men must not run around, otherwise they will be executed."
Li Nong looked at the door of the tent, stepped forward and lowered his voice: "Let me tell you a secret. The Jurchens have secret sentries hidden in the granary. You can't see them, but they can see you. Your men only need a little
If you cross the line and run wildly, you will be shot with an arrow. This matter is very secretive, and I am afraid not even everyone knows about it. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have known that there would be a secret sentry ambushing me."
Li Nong said goodbye and left. Zheng Ping sat on a chair with squinted eyes, thought for a moment, and ordered a soldier: "Go and find Wang Jian for me!"
Not long after, a general in his thirties walked into the tent. Without saluting, he asked in a cold tone: "What does Zheng Tongzhi want from me?"
This Wang Jian was a thorn in Zheng Ping's staff, a commander, and a close subordinate of Zhang Zhongfu. Zhang Zhongfu originally recommended him to be the commander, but Wanyan Wushu personally appointed Zheng Ping as the commander, squeezing him out.
Zhang Zhongfu had no choice but to appease him and ask him to endure it a little longer, waiting for the right opportunity to promote him.
Wang Jian was very dissatisfied and kept causing all kinds of trouble. Zheng Ping had long wanted to kill this bastard, but he did not have the power to kill generals above the commander-in-chief and had to report it to the capital commander, especially since he was Zhang Zhongfu's confidant. If he killed him himself, Zhang Zhongfu would definitely
I won't spare myself.
Zheng Ping was not afraid of causing any trouble, but he was afraid of ruining Chen Qing's important affairs.
Now the news about his hiding among the golden soldiers has been leaked, and this Wang Jian once secretly investigated him. Although he didn't find anything famous, he knew that he brought two to three hundred people to participate in the Pingliang Prefecture's elite.
It is possible that he would think of Zheng Ping lurking among the Jin soldiers with two to three hundred people.
This is a big loophole. Wang Jianming will know about it from Zhang Zhongfu the day after tomorrow. Zheng Ping is very worried that Wang Jian will discover this loophole. He has no time and he must get rid of this person in time.
Zheng Ping laughed twice and said: "Tomorrow we will build the warehouse. You will take charge of the two thousand brothers in our camp. I will supervise the work then. You must not be lazy like last time!"
"It won't be our turn to build the warehouse tomorrow!"
Zheng Ping's eyes widened, "I am the commander, so go if I tell you to. If you dare to disobey the military order again, if I don't tie you up and go to see the commander, what will the commander say to you?"
Wang Jian was pinched by Zheng Ping's pigtails and couldn't refuse anymore. He stared at Zheng Ping viciously for a long time, snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Zheng Ping watched his back walking away, squinted his eyes and said to himself: "This person will definitely ruin my big things!"
.........
The next morning, Zheng Ping took a dozen of his men to the granary. The granary camp was between the Yangma Camp and the military camp, covering an area of hundreds of acres. Two hundred large warehouses were built, including grain and grass, as well as various large quantities.
The soldiers and armor materials were piled up in the granary camp.
Now that there are not enough warehouses, fifty large warehouses need to be built, and Zheng Ping's army will be responsible for the construction task.
The granary camp is guarded by Jurchens. Generally, Han people are not allowed to enter, with the exception of building granaries. However, they must also undergo strict searches. Fire and any weapons are not allowed. Anyone who violates the order will be killed. At the same time, they must be within the prescribed range.
There is construction inside, so you are not allowed to wander around.
Even the commander Zheng Ping went through a strict search before letting him enter the granary camp. He led his men to the northeast corner, which was the construction site. First, ten warehouses were to be built on this open space.
Two thousand soldiers were busy building the warehouse frame. Commander Wang Jian stood on horseback to supervise the construction of the soldiers.
Zheng Ping urged his horse forward and said to Wang Jianda with a dry smile: "I met Ma Canjun just now and said that we need to feed materials at the southwest corner today. You are more familiar with it than I am. Go and take a look and see where the materials are best placed."
"In my humble position, I have to supervise the construction, let others take control!"
Zheng Ping's eyes widened and he said angrily: "I can't call you, can I?"
Wang Jian was filled with hatred and could only grit his teeth and said: "It is stipulated that you are not allowed to leave the construction area. If you encounter a Jurchen patrol along the way, you can't explain your humble position."
Zheng Ping took out the control gold medal and handed it to him, "Take my gold medal and the Jurchens won't embarrass you."
This gold medal for control was something that Wang Jian had dreamed of. He caught it with trembling hands and stared at the gold medal for control, a trace of greed that could not be concealed flashed in his eyes.
Zheng Ping was afraid of a long night and many dreams, so he urged him: "Ma Canjun is still waiting over there, go quickly!"
Wang Jian turned his horse's head, summoned two soldiers to follow him, and galloped towards the southwest corner.
He was riding on a war horse, and two soldiers were running behind the horse. Zheng Ping narrowed his triangular eyes and stared at Wang Jian closely.
After running less than 300 steps, several cold arrows were suddenly shot from the tops of several warehouses. The arrows were powerful and extremely fast. Wang Jian was unable to dodge and was hit by five arrows in a row. The arrows hit his vitals. He screamed and jumped from his horse.
Fall down.
The two soldiers were so frightened that they lay on the ground and did not dare to move.
Zheng Ping chuckled, "It turns out the secret sentry is hiding on top of the warehouse."
He suddenly became worried again. How could he burn down the granary camp if he couldn't bring the fire?
