Chapter 974: Inferiority
Now Ye Qing's strength is powered by fighting against the Jin people, Meng people or Xia people, but it does not have an absolute advantage.
However, in terms of military information, Ye Qing has an unparalleled advantage among others. Since he served as the commander of the Imperial City Department and has been developing with the Imperial City Department for so many years, the intelligence agencies developed with the Imperial City Department have already covered all the territory of China.
This is also the reason why Ye Qing dared to take the initiative to fight against Xia even when he was not prepared so much.
Similarly, when facing the Jin people, Ye Qing had a great advantage in military information, which was not comparable to that of the Jin people. Therefore, the Jin people's every move cannot be said to be Ye Qing, who is far away in Jingzhao Prefecture, knows everything about military information, but even the slightest movements will never escape Ye Qing's eyes.
Naturally, whether it was the marching speed of the army led by Qi Shilie's gods, or the army led by Li Tiege who went south to attack Jinan, or the army led by Li Xier, were all under the control of Ye Qing.
But even so, Ye Qing still cannot determine how many officials in the four major prefectures in the four major prefectures adjacent to Hedong North Road and Hedong South Road in Jinjing, there are still many officials who prefer the Jin people.
When the Hetao Third Routes were recovered, when rectifying the officials left behind, they all adopted the method of transferring them from Fuyan Road, sending them to Jingzhao Mansion Road, or other routes when they were regained the officials left behind, so that once a war broke out between the two sides, the risk of internal and external cooperation could be minimized.
So now at the sensitive moment when the Jin Dynasty was about to fight, if Ye Qing wanted to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, or eliminate dissidents, it was obviously unlikely that the range of movement would be too large. As King Qing Zhao Kai said, the remaining officials who were still sent to the local people enjoyed a certain reputation in the hearts of the local people. If they were to tidy up the crimes without any conclusive evidence, they would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble, and it might even push the people's hearts that were not yet completely stable to the side of the Jin people.
This move was not because Ye Qing judged a gentleman by the heart of a villain, but because of this phenomenon, in the history of the Chinese nation, it has been preserved and passed down like traditional virtues.
Decades of foreign occupation are enough to make the people "recognize thieves as fathers" regardless of right and wrong. This is not new in the history of the Chinese nation. Even in later generations, the island hanging alone outside was still loved to recognize thieves as fathers because of the 50-year occupation of Japan. Instead, they have always spoken against his biological parents. Even the Oriental Pearl, which has been back to China for twenty years, is still obsessed with the "kindness" of the invaders, and would rather be a dog than be a human being.
It can also be seen from this that in the thousands of years of inheritance, some of the bad natures of the Chinese nation have been passed down from beginning to end.
So Ye Qing now would not believe that the people of the Eighth Route Army in the North have now completely surrendered to the Song court.
He believed that once the Song army fell slightly at a disadvantage in the battle between the three Hetao Routes and the Jin people, even if it was a small defeat in the entire war, it would inevitably lead to the rise of the people. At that time, the entire Song army, including him, Ye Qing, could not stand firm in terms of orthodoxy, in terms of emotion and reason.
These are naturally not Ye Qing's imagination. After all, for thousands of years, such things have been common in the history of the Chinese nation, which has also made Ye Qing, in the upcoming battle with the Jin people, have to take measures to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys to suppress a wave of people and officials who are eager to move.
Bai Chun rubbed Ye Qing's temples, and the names of three people were now placed on the desk in the study. In the past two years in Jingzhao Mansion, neither Bai Chun nor Liu Lan'er had been idle.
But it is completely impossible to make every remaining official able to be monitored. So even now, especially on the road to Fuyan bordering Jin, Bai Chun has only found three remaining officials who are extremely far-fetched to be related to the Jin people.
"Pang Chuan, Han Fu, and Fan Wenwen, the most famous of them is Fan Wenwen, who is said to be descendants of Fan Zhongyan, Duke of Chu back then." Bai Chun looked at the three names on the table and explained to Ye Qing, who was gray in her hair, and her heart was as prickly as if she was stabbed.
"Fan Zhongyan's descendant?" Ye Qing was startled, hurriedly sat upright, picked up the document about Fan Wenwen and read it carefully.
Bai Chun looked at Ye Qing who was startled and sat down next to him and continued, "Yanzhou was also a military important place, and Song Xia fought a lot here. Fan Zhongyan and others used to defend the enemy and fight Xia here. It was not until later occupied by the Jin people that this area calmed down. So it was not impossible if it was really a descendant of Duke of Chu Fan Zhongyan. And even if it was not, it must have a deep connection with Duke of Chu."
"Where are the other two?" Ye Qing continued to flip through the documents and asked without raising his head.
"Pang Chuan and Han Fu are both from Jin Ting's imperial examinations, especially Han Fu, who was originally named Han Fu, but when he participated in the imperial examinations, for some reason, he changed his name to Han Fu. I guess that the reason why he did this was to be able to pass the imperial examinations was that he changed to wealth." Bai Chun said with tenderness and tenderness in his bright eyes.
"It is natural to change the name of the imperial examination for the sake of the imperial examination. After all, the imperial examination can be regarded as the only way out for literati. If you lose your future because of your name, then it would be too stupid." Ye Qing read Fan Wenwen's documents and then read Han Fu and Pang Chuan's documents.
Hai Dongqing, who Temujin gave to Ye Qing back then, is still as white as snow, with a shockingly large body, and with that flexible and cute head. At this moment, when Ye Qing and Bai Chun were talking, they were always looking at each other curiously.
"The three of them are all on the way to the Fuyan Road, but..." Bai Chun stroked Xiaobaichun's obedient head casually, and then continued: "In addition to Yanzhou, Fuyan Road is the security guard, Fangzhou and Fuzhou. In addition, these four prefectures are not far from the Jin people, and the farthest distance is only a hundred miles away from the Yellow River. Although it is relatively easy to weave crimes, the risk is also very high, especially at this delicate moment, the entire Fuyan Road can be said to be the front line."
Ye Qing nodded in agreement, his eyes shifted from the desk document to Hai Dongqing, and then thought about it and asked, "Is there any news from Yelu Yue recently?"
"The Liao people were defeated again and again, and the Mongols were unstoppable. The Liao army could not stop their cavalry at all. There were only a few important cities with a small scale. Although they could withstand it for a while, they were finally a drop in the bucket and were no match for the Mongols. As for the Liao King City... because of the war in the Xia Kingdom, coupled with the war between Mongolia and Liao, it was already extremely difficult to obtain information now." Bai Chun's eyes, which were originally gentle as water, became much dimmer at this time.
Now it’s not just her, but even Ye Qing, hasn’t had news about Yelu Yue for a long time. Even the most elite spy sent by Bai Chun, it is still difficult to get news about the Liao King City during this period of chaos everywhere.
As for Yelu Yue's news, there is no way to start. It is just a vague idea that shortly after Temujin's first battle against Liao began, the already extremely tense relationship between the North Prefecture and the South Court became increasingly tense, and conflicts between the big and small have occurred several times.
"Have you told her about Qu Chulu?" Ye Qing bit her lips for a long time before asking slowly.
"Qu Tulu died, and it was Yelu Yue who killed her. Because of this incident, the relationship between her and the Liao prince Yelu Zhilugu became tense, which made Xiaowulisat the King of the Southern Court suppress the Northern Palace. But since this incident, Yelu Yue took the initiative to cut off the connection with me, and every letter was like a stone sinking into the sea." Bai Chun frowned, and his white jade forehead was still as beautiful as before.
"If she really got into evil with Yelu Zhilugu because of Qu Chulu, then her current situation in Liao Kingdom would be really too dangerous." Ye Qing said a little heavy, and then sighed slightly.
Qu Chulu was always respected by Yelu Zhilugu, so he was finally killed by Qu Chulu during hunting, and thus seized the throne of the Liao Kingdom without any effort.
Although Ye Qing could not tell Yelu Yue about this, he also kept reminding Yelu Yue to be careful of Qu Chulu. Now Yelu Yue suddenly killed Qu Chulu with his own hands when Temujin attacked Liao. It seems that something unknown happened, which forced Yelu Yue to do so.
But in this way, under internal and external troubles, Yelu Yue's situation naturally became more and more dangerous. Once Yelu Zhilugu no longer cared about her sister, Xiaowuli Tsar made a hindrance, and Temujin had already begun to conquer Liao, it became increasingly difficult to save Yelu Yue.
"Is there no other way?" Bai Chun looked at Ye Qing, who was dazed in front of her with some dissatisfaction, pinched Ye Qing's arm and asked.
"I don't know, even if there is, we can't stop it." Ye Qing's mind couldn't help but see Temujin's figure. He was not sure whether Temujin would be able to see his past friendship with him and let Yelu Yue go.
Moreover, even if Temujin let Yelu Yue go, with that girl's temperament, would she abandon Liao and join her? More importantly, there is still a Xia Kingdom between her and her, who wishes to tear herself apart.
So even if Ye Qing wants to help Yelu Yue, he can no longer help. He can only take one step at a time, or pray for God's mercy, so that he can give Yelu Yue a chance to survive.
