Not only was Li Lingrui concerned about whether Jin Feng had used new weapons in Yuguan City, the deputy general and other staff were also very concerned, and they turned to look at the intelligence chief, waiting for his answer.
"Reporting to your Majesty, the snow in the north has not cleared recently, making it difficult for people and horses to move. There is no news about Yuguan City yet!"
The person in charge of intelligence replied helplessly.
In the past two years, the northern grasslands have been hot and dry in summer, and extremely cold in winter. Many horses, cattle and sheep have frozen to death.
That's why Dangxiang and the Eastern Barbarians launched a southern expedition against Dakang.
This year's situation is more serious than last year. It's better here in Xizhou and it's not that cold. In the northern areas of Dangxiang and Dongman, the snow is as deep as one or two meters in many places.
There is no way to pass through such deep snow.
Moreover, the capital of Dangxiang and the royal city of the Eastern Barbarians are thousands of miles apart. Even if the new emperor of Dangxiang sends a death squad to the Eastern Barbarians, they will not be able to get there within a few months.
"It's difficult for humans and horses to travel, and so can carrier pigeons?" Li Lingrui asked with a frown.
Dangxiang and Dongman are also neighboring countries. In the past few years, they fought fiercely to compete for pasture. Later, the two countries found that it was easier to exploit Dakang, so they stopped large-scale wars.
But the relationship between the two parties is by no means particularly friendly.
Dangxiang deployed a large number of spies in Dakang, and naturally there were also spies in the Eastern Barbarians.
But homing pigeons also need to eat.
Nowadays, there are thousands of miles of snow in the north, and wild wolves and bears can’t find anything to eat, let alone homing pigeons?
Out of ten homing pigeons, if even one of them could fly back to Dangxiang from the Eastern Man King's City, it would be considered a blessing.
Although this was an objective situation, the person in charge of intelligence knew that if he said this, Li Lingrui would definitely order him to obtain information at any cost.
So I can't answer that.
The person in charge of the intelligence thought for a moment and said: "Dang Xiang's southern expedition army has not returned to the Royal City yet, and the brothers in the Royal City don't know what happened in Yuguan City yet?"
After hearing this, Li Lingrui did not continue to hold on, but frowned and said: "Send people to continue to investigate. Once there is news, no matter what time, it must be reported immediately!"
"Yes!" The person in charge of the intelligence breathed a sigh of relief, bowed and said, "The subordinates will go and get busy first!"
Li Lingrui was obviously in a bad mood today and could explode at any time. He didn't want to stay here any longer.
"Go!" Li Lingrui nodded and looked at the deputy general and several staff: "You should go and do your work too. Arrange your own manpower. Once the catapult is in place, launch a general attack as soon as possible!"
"Yes!" The deputy general and several staff members bowed in response at the same time, and then walked out with the intelligence chief.
When he reached the entrance of the tent, the deputy general stopped suddenly, turned around and asked: "Your Majesty, if we launch a general attack, it would be too..."
Before he finished speaking, the person in charge of intelligence grabbed his sleeve and pulled him out of the tent.
"Why are you holding me back?" The deputy general shook his arm dissatisfied.
However, the person in charge of intelligence grabbed the deputy general's sleeve tightly and dragged him to the corner.
The other staff members seemed to have not heard what the deputy general said, and they lowered their heads and quickened their pace, fearing that they would be called back by Li Lingrui if they walked too slowly.
It's like there is a monster in Li Lingrui's tent that wants to eat people.
The person in charge of intelligence dragged the deputy general to a corner and breathed a long sigh of relief. Then he raised his leg and kicked the deputy general: "You idiot, I almost got killed by you!"
Although the head of intelligence does not have military power, he has been hanging out with Li Lingrui since he was a teenager. He is considered Li Lingrui's absolute confidant.
The same goes for the lieutenant general.
When Li Lingrui joined the army for the first time, he was assigned to a squad with the deputy general. Over the years, the squad had suffered numerous casualties and injuries, and only Li Lingrui and the deputy general were still able to move.
The lieutenant general had no other merits and was even a bit stupid, but he was absolutely loyal to Li Lingrui and tried his best to save Li Lingrui more than once.
So Li Lingrui has always taken him with him, not only making him his lieutenant, but also serving as captain of his personal guard, responsible for his personal safety.
The deputy general and the head of intelligence are Li Lingrui's two most trusted confidants, civil and military, and they usually have a good relationship.
After being kicked by the head of intelligence, the deputy general was not annoyed, but asked in confusion: "Why did I hurt you?"
The person in charge of intelligence turned around and looked around. Seeing that there was no one else, he asked in a low voice: "Did you just want to ask about the Supreme Emperor?"
Ever since the confrontation between Li Lingrui and Zhang Liang began, Jin Feng had people send Li Jishan, the former emperor of Dangxiang, to the battlefield.
Zhang Liang did not abuse Li Jishan excessively, but pulled him out every morning and hung him up to dry outside the camp.
Li Lingrui knew that Zhang Liang was trying to confuse his military morale, but there was nothing he could do.
Zhang Liang dug dense horse pits outside the camp, and arranged rows of heavy crossbows and catapults around them, clearly waiting for the party members to rescue people.
Seeing that the deputy general had not yet understood, the head of intelligence said angrily: "Do you think everyone is blind and didn't see the Supreme Emperor? Why didn't anyone else ask?"
"Yeah, why doesn't anyone ask?"
The lieutenant scratched his head and said, "I just saw that you didn't ask, so I asked. If a fight breaks out, the Supreme Emperor will be in danger!"
"You idiot, do you think everyone else is a fool?"
The person in charge of intelligence looked around again, and lowered his voice again and asked: "Have you ever thought about what your Majesty will do now if the Supreme Emperor comes back?"
After hearing this, the deputy general felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his eyes widened, and his heart was filled with huge waves!
He had never thought about this problem, but now that the person in charge of intelligence told him about it, he suddenly understood it!
Yes, if Li Jishan is rescued, what will the current emperor Li Lingxuan do?
Should you give up the throne or not?
If they don't give in, the old ministers who support Li Jishan will definitely rebel; if they do, the new generation of ministers who support Li Lingxuan will be dissatisfied.
This is also the reason why Jin Feng did not kill Li Jishan and Dongman Chanyu.www.81zw.????m
This trick he learned from the history of his previous life.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, so many people with lofty ideals made repeated Northern Expeditions. Among them, Yue Fei repeatedly defeated the greater number with less, which made the Jin army unable to lift its head. They fought all the way to Zhuxian Town, not far from Bianjing, and soon they could capture the city of Bianjing.
However, Zhao Gou, the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty at that time, listened to Qin Hui's slander and won twelve gold medals in one day. On the grounds that it was too dangerous to go deep alone, he ordered Yue Fei to immediately return to the court.
At that time, Yue Fei knelt down facing the direction of Bianjing and cried: "Ten years of work have been destroyed in one day!"
When Jin Feng was a child, he saw Yue Fei's army and felt that Zhao Gou was instigated by Qin Hui. When he grew up, he realized that Zhao Gou himself did not want Yue Fei to defeat the Jin army and welcome back Emperor Huiqin!
Therefore, when the class teacher returned to the court, Zhao Gou listened to Qin Hui's slander and hanged Yue Fei and his son in Fengbo Pavilion on "unfounded" charges.
Of course Qin Hui is hateful, but Zhao Gou is not a good person either!
Didn't Zhao Gou know that Yue Fei was a talented person? Of course he knew, that's why he didn't dare to keep Yue Fei.
If Yue Fei really brought back Emperor Huiqin, how would Zhao Gou deal with himself?
