Chapter 628 Conspiracy(2/2)
Han Bao could think of this.
Although he successfully sent people to break into Guanjiang Tower two or three days ago, the two informants they broke into were only low-level servants and had no chance to touch the core area of Guanjiang Tower's backyard. Even if they found something, He won't act recklessly and alert others, so he probably isn't one of their people.
Besides, their point of contact with Guanjianglou's informant was on the other side, instead of fleeing into the alley on this side in a panic.
Of course, Liang Guo secretly was not reckless. As Wang Zhe said, he must have seen the secret and had to spread it out as soon as possible, so he had to take the risk of sneaking out to report the secret, which exposed the truth.
Liang Guo secretly successfully broke into Guanjiang Tower. If the Mongolian envoys couldn't make them fuss, how could anything happen that could suddenly make them panic?
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Han Bao and Huo Li looked at each other and thought of Wang Che's guess just now.
Emperor Liang had expected Wang Yuankui to defect to the Mongol people, so Liang Jun secretly lurked in Dingzhou and would not make a fuss. However, the fact that Liang He Wang Zhu Rang, who replaced Liang Shixiong as Weibo's military envoy, colluded with the Mongol people, was enough to cause Liang Jian to
After realizing it, I suddenly became panicked!
They were all so shocked when they thought of this just now, not to mention the secret room of Liang Guo?
"Someone is setting fire in Guanjiang Tower..." At this time, Shi Ruhai, who was standing at the top, said again.
Han Bao and Huo Li turned around and saw flames coming out of a window on the third floor of the main building of Guanjiang Building. If Shi Ruhai hadn't been staring at it, it wouldn't have been very clear at night and it would have been easy to miss it.
At this time, people started to flee to the long street south of the main building. It can be seen that the fire in the building was definitely not small, but it had not burned through the windows.
During this time, Han Bao and the others mainly observed the movements of Guanjiang Tower and Cheng Dejun's Jiedushi Mansion from the outside. They did not penetrate too deeply, nor did they easily take risks to sneak in for spying. They also did not know Liang Jun's secret relationship with Guanjiang Tower and Cheng Dejun.
How deep was the penetration into Jiedushi's mansion?
However, looking at the activities in Guanjiang Tower, Han Bao and the others understood that it was not just one or two Liang Jian who had successfully sneaked into Guanjiang Tower. It was very likely that the people who escaped over the wall before and the people who set fire later were just to create chaos or
Divert the attention of the guards at Guanjiang Tower.
In order to prevent the spies from escaping among the crowds fleeing the fire, the guards of Guanjiang Tower divided one hundred and fifty sixty people into two teams, filed out of the side door from the side alley, and blocked both sides of the long street.
These guards are all wearing strong swords and holding crossbows. At this time, you can also see how powerful the hidden weapons of Guanjiang Tower are.
"Wang Yuankui may have already secretly negotiated terms with the Mongols. Is he waiting for Zhu Rang to send someone over?" Wang Yuankui saw that the guards in Guanjiang Tower were openly equipped with armor and holding crossbows to block the long street.
Zhe said with a frown.
Han Bao and Huo Li also nodded in agreement.
It is true that Guanjiang Tower is a major merchant force in the Jin State. It has established contact points and footholds in various states and counties of the Jin State, and its minions are spread all over the Jin State. There is no problem. However, in such an important city as Dingzhou, there are hidden treasures.
The nature of the organized military force has changed, and it has become a "secret private army" with ulterior motives.
Not to mention that today they blatantly bypassed official agencies and used force blatantly on the street.
Even if the armed merchant ships under the Chishan Society are authorized to have armored soldiers to guard the goods to prevent bandits, they will report in advance when passing by local prefectures and counties.
And if someone wants to go ashore and enter the city of a prefecture or county, they can only bring short blades for self-defense. Longbows, arm-length crossbows and other weapons cannot be brought into the city at will.
The status of Guanjiang Tower in the Jin State, at least on the surface, was not higher than that of Chishan Hui, who was backed by the Tangyi Army and the Han family behind Dachu. And Chishan Hui was in Huaidong, Xiangbei and other places.
The restrictions were even greater. Yang Yuanyan and Li Zhigao wanted to send people to keep an eye on every boat and camel team entering the Chishan Society.
Even if Wang Yuankui is not a member of the Shenling Division, he has been helped by Wang Jingrong overtly and covertly over the years to take up the position of Chengde Army Jiedushi. He should have already understood the relationship between Guanjiang Tower and Heshuo's legacy in the Shenling Division, and he should also understand Guanjiang Tower.
Jianglou’s relationship with the gentry and Mongol people who fled north.
In the past, the Mongol envoys disguised themselves as caravans and entered Dingzhou and stayed in Guanjiang Tower. It can also be said that Guanjiang Tower had contacts with both sides and was suitable to act as a middleman between the Mongol and Chengdu armies.
However, at this time, it became clear that Guanjiang Tower had a full-fledged armored force in Dingzhou, and could even openly use these forces without any scruples. This shows that Guanjiang Tower and Wang Jinrong actually had more powerful soldiers in Dingzhou than outsiders imagined.
High status and power.
That's far more than just being the leader.
"Is it possible that Wang Jingrong and Guan Jianglou have secretly taken refuge with Xiao Yiqing and the Mongols?" Han Bao asked in shock when he saw the situation in front of him and thought of a possibility.
Wang Che nodded and said: "My lord and madam were a little worried about this, so I came here to see if I could find any more obvious signs. But I didn't expect that something like this would happen just after I arrived in Dingzhou."
There was only a little worry before, but what happened before them showed that this guess was closer to the truth, otherwise many of the doubts they saw could not be explained clearly.
Han Bao, a young and mature man, couldn't help but look shocked at this time.
Guanjiang Tower is attached to the Jin State, secretly supporting Wang Yuankui and other forces, or secretly colluding with the Mongol people to seek opportunities to restore the country and take revenge. This was their initial guess, which is consistent with their current speculation that Guanjiang Tower
Having surrendered to the Mongol people a long time ago and vassaling the Mongol people are completely different concepts, and the subsequent situation in Heshuo is also completely different concepts.
If it is the former, even if Wang Yuankui and the Mongols negotiate the terms of surrender, the Mongols will not be able to completely trust Wang Yuankui immediately. It may even require Wang Yuankui to send his family members to Youzhou as hostages before the Mongolian cavalry can
Dare to gather in large numbers and move south.
If it were the latter, as long as Wang Yuankui made up his mind to surrender, the Mongols could immediately control the German military and political system and the families of the main generals through Guanjiang Tower. At this time, the Mongols had probably completed their assembly in northern Dingzhou.
The cavalry only need to wait to further negotiate with the envoy sent by Zhu Rang, King of Liang He, and then they can march straight in without hesitation, and they don't even need to consider the food and grass along the way.
In the former case, the Mongol cavalry would have to spend more than a month or even longer to complete many precautions at the earliest before they dared to unite with the German army and advance to Qizhou and Zhaozhou in the south, and then further south to Weizhou.
, it will take longer to join forces with Liang He Wang Zhu Rang to use troops.
In the latter case, the Mongol cavalry could travel day and night, passing through the Chengde Army's control area and entering Qizhou and Zhaozhou within two or three days; the Chengde Army had most likely completed military mobilization secretly and could cooperate with sending troops south at any time.
At this time, Liang He Wang Zhu Rang confirmed that he would collude with the Mongol people to rebel. It can be said that it would only take four or five days at the shortest to jointly cut off the communication between the main force of the Liang army and Bianjing, which was besieging Luzhou in Zezhou at this time.
No matter how powerful Emperor Zhu Yu of the Liang Dynasty was, he would be trapped in the mountains south of his old county in Hedong. One hundred thousand elite troops would become an isolated and helpless army - he would not be given any time to dispatch troops or adjust his deployment.
Even if Zhu Yu could escape from the Mongol cavalry pursuit from the southwest of Hedong County and escape to the Guanzhong area, how long would it take for Zhu Yu to borrow a road from Guanzhong to return to Bianjing?
However, after Liang He Wang Zhu Rang officially rebelled, he waited for the Mongol cavalry to block the main force of the Liang army from Weizhou back to Bianjing. He sent troops directly from Weizhou and could attack in only four or five days.
Under Bianjing City...
