In the intelligence system of the Xihe Army, Class A intelligence is important intelligence, but above Class A intelligence, there is another type of intelligence called top secret intelligence. Even fewer people know top secret information, and only senior officials around Chen Qing have the opportunity to access it.
Yang Qi works as an ordinary person and knows that Class A intelligence is already the upper limit of his authority, and it is impossible for him to have access to top-secret intelligence.
But Dou Qing was no longer satisfied with first-class information. As early as half a month ago, he urged Yang Qi to find a way to get top-secret information. He would get one or two pieces of it at any cost.
In more than a month, Dou Qing obtained more than 20 pieces of important information. His status in Xixia rose sharply, and even the Emperor of Xixia, Li Qianshun, began to pay attention to him.
But Dou Qing also knew in his heart that the quantity of information he provided was sufficient, but the quality was still a little lacking. If he could get one or two pieces of top-secret information, he would probably be promoted.
But it is not easy to get top-secret information, unless he takes desperate measures and attacks Zhang Xiao, Jiang Yanxian and others, or Zhu Sui and Zhang Xuan, but these ideas are unrealistic and the risks are huge. It is easy for them to lose all their money. Chen Qing's internal affairs battalion is not that easy to deal with.
At noon that day, Dou Qing was reading the account books in the room. A clerk said at the door: "Shopkeeper, that manager Yang is here again, the same place!"
Even Dou Qing's subordinates were a little speechless towards this Yang Qi. He cried and refused to cooperate before, but now he was completely captured by money. His greedy nature was fully exposed. He ran to the restaurant every two days. It was simply shameless. All the guys really despised him.
Dou Qing stood up quickly. He did not despise Yang Qi. Although he asked for money a bit harshly, he also got more than 20 pieces of important information, which basically allowed him to find out Chen Qing's background and let him get the emperor's secrets. Appreciate it, it is still worth spending more than one hundred taels of silver.
He knew that Yang Qi was having a relationship with Zhang Xiao during this period. Zhang Xiao's mother liked to nourish and maintain health. Dou Qing bought three taels of fine Cordyceps sinensis from a businessman and asked Yang Qi to give it to Zhang Xiao's mother as a gift. .
Dou Qing walked into the room and asked with a smile: "How is it? Have you gained anything?"
In just over a month, Yang Qi seemed to have changed. He gained weight, his face became rosy, and his waist straightened. More importantly, he was obsessed with money and became a complete prisoner of money.
Yang Qi was pouring himself a glass of wine. He drank the wine in one gulp and said with a smile: "Three taels of Cordyceps sinensis really has an immediate effect. Zhang Xiao called me this morning and asked me to take over Zhang Xuan for three days. He told me , this is an opportunity to show my face in front of Jiedushi, let me seize this opportunity."
Dou Qing was overjoyed, "Did I ask you to be the messenger?"
"I'm not a messenger. I just gave me a chance to show my face in front of the Jiedushi. In fact, no one is needed to take over for three days. Zhang Xuan's men can handle the matter well. Zhang Xiao just gave me a chance." ."
Dou Qing was not interested in this. He only cared about whether he could get top-secret information. He quickly asked: "The information I want is top-secret. Can you get it this time?"
Yang Qi shook his head, "Normally, I won't be allowed to touch top-secret information. I'm not qualified enough, but I will find a way to secretly get one or two pieces of information, but I want to know if I can get this kind of top-secret information. How many?"
Dou Qing cursed secretly in his heart. Sure enough, money was the key to his words. This bastard is too greedy.
He laughed dryly and said, "If you can get top-secret information, I'll give you twenty taels of silver for each piece."
Yang Qi still shook his head, "This may be my only chance to get top-secret information. Twenty taels of silver is too little. I want a hundred taels of silver."
Dou Qing's face sank, "Your request is too much!"
"Is it too much?"
Yang Qi snorted coldly, "Then you go find someone else. Only now do I realize that I'm doing things for you with my head up. I only wanted six taels of silver before, and only twenty-five pieces of important information were sold for one hundred and fifty."
Two taels of silver is a huge loss. If it's less than a hundred taels of silver this time, I won't do it!"
Dou Qing gritted his teeth and said: "It depends on the value of your information. If it is worth it, I will never lose a penny from you."
Yang Qi chuckled and took out an envelope from his arms. Dou Qing's eyes widened, "You already got it?"
"I started taking over this morning. Zhu Sui accompanied Jiedushi to see the collapsed house. On the pretext of delivering documents to Zhu Sui, I entered his room. I saw several purple-covered letters on his table."
"Yes, purple envelope."
Dou Qing had also heard that top-secret information about the Xihe Army was placed in a large purple envelope.
"You got one?"
"How is that possible? It was just sent by Zhang Miao, the commander of the Intelligence Agency. It comes with a list. If I take one, I will be discovered immediately."
Dou Qing was a little disappointed when he heard that there was no original document, and said dissatisfied: "Then how do I know whether the information is true or false?"
Yang Qi sighed, "It's not the first time I've given you information. Am I going to lie to you? Just forget it if you don't want to."
Just as he was about to put away the envelope, Dou Qing quickly brought it over with a smile, "We have been dealing with you for so long, how can I not believe you? Because it is top secret information, so be careful!"
"You decide for yourself! I really don't have any evidence to prove it is true."
Dou Qing opened the envelope and read a few lines, and his face turned pale. It turned out to be a letter written by Xiao Heda, the commander of the Xiazhou Army, to Chen Qing. Although he only found a few lines of content, it was already shocking.
Who is Xiao Heda? He was the commander of the army that protected Princess Cheng'an of the Liao Kingdom when she married Xixia Emperor Li Qianshun. Princess Cheng'an became the Queen of Xixia, and Xiao Heda also stayed in Xixia. Later, he was granted the title of Commander-in-Chief of Xiazhou, with 30,000 troops under his command, including
There are five thousand elite Khitan army cavalry.
After the fall of the Liao Kingdom, Princess Cheng'an committed suicide. Li Qianshun, the son of the Western Xia Dynasty, was afraid of Xiao Heda's rebellion and repeatedly comforted him.
Xiao Heda mentioned one thing in his letter. Last year, Yelu Dashi proclaimed himself emperor in Yemili City in the Western Regions, rebuilt the Liao Dynasty, called himself Ju'er Khan, and wanted to unite the army and return to his homeland.
But there are only two lines, and there is nothing behind them.
"What's the content at the end?" Dou Qing asked anxiously.
Yang Qi scratched his head, "I just glanced at it, and someone came in right away. How dare I finish reading it."
Dou Qing was really amazed. It was indeed top secret information! Just a few sentences were shocking. This was definitely a big deal. Xiao Heda actually dared to communicate with Chen Qing secretly. In addition, Yelu Dashi actually rebuilt the Liao Kingdom in the Western Regions and wanted to kill him.
When you come back, won't Xixia be the first to bear the brunt?
He immediately realized the great value of this information and must immediately use the letter eagle to send this important information to Xingqing Mansion.
Dou Qing sent Yang Qi away with one hundred taels of silver and hurried to his room.
Dou Qing did not dare to use the eagle in the city, so he set up the eagle on the north bank of the Wei River and sent people across the Wei River to deliver messages every time.
Dou Qing immediately wrote an eagle letter. The mailbox was red, indicating that the information was particularly important. He immediately sent a subordinate to the north bank of the Wei River to deliver the letter.
At dusk, Wang Hao came in and reported to Chen Qing, "Reporting to the capital, Dou Qing's men have sent Xin Ying away, and the humble men have confirmed it with their own eyes."
Chen Qing stood in front of the window with his hands behind his hands. He really couldn't explain this. How did he know about Xiao Hetong, and how did he know that Yelu Dashi proclaimed himself emperor in Ye Mili last year?
He simply had no way of explaining it to his men. It was very likely that his men really thought that Xiao Heda was secretly connected with him.
After a long silence, Chen Qing asked again: "Is there any news about the messenger I asked you to arrange?"
Chen Qing's guess was absolutely correct. Wang Hao was filled with admiration. Dutong actually contacted Xiao Heda, the commander of the Xiazhou army. This was a sharp knife inserted into the abdomen of Xixia!
If Xiao Heda rebels, there will be chaos within Xixia.
Wang Hao quickly reported back: "There is no news yet. Judging from the time, they have already left Xiazhou at this time."
Chen Qing nodded and said: "Let Yang Qi continue to cooperate with the other party, but the number must be reduced. If you talk too much, you will be wrong. Do you understand?"
"I understand the humble position!"
Chen Qing paused for a moment and then said calmly: "After Dou Qing passes our plan to send troops to Gongzhou to Lanzhou, we can close the net."
