Chapter 125 Yelu Chenghui decides to jump ship
The defeat of Jiagu Asu is no longer a level that can be concealed.

A little careless, Shandong overturned, once the rebels and the Song Kingdom unite, the Central Plains will be in danger, and the Jin Kingdom will face a great threat!
Although Yelu Chenghui has been in charge of logistics for a long time and does not actually hold military power, he also has a certain talent and strategic vision.

If you don't have such talent, how can you get Wanyan Liang's appointment as the chief executive of a place?

Not to mention that he is still a Khitan, and without the advantages of Jurchen's background, he needs the help of talents.

He realized that the Song State was a huge factor of uncertainty. Once the thieves in Shandong became large, Song State could take advantage of it. As long as he took the official position and spread it out, he could quickly win over people's hearts.

The official position of Song State is still very attractive, and it is just a resignation of official position. It will not cause Song State to suffer any substantial losses, nor will there be any substantial payment.

But it can make the Shandong thieves turn to Song and fight to the death.

Once Shandong belongs to the Song Dynasty, it is difficult to say the land of Henan and Shaanxi.

The foundation of the Jin Kingdom in the Central Plains is shallow, and once the military coercion fails, the fragile rule is likely to collapse completely.

Yelu Chenghui thought about it and felt very uneasy, feeling that Shuhu Siji and Tu Danjing would be finished sooner or later, and he must not be bound to it, otherwise, let alone himself, the whole family would suffer.

The Jurchen Emperor's relatives have all killed Wanyan Liang, so as a Khitan, he has no chance of being exempted.

So even if you risk your life, you must tell the emperor the truth, and you must not let the emperor think that he is complicit in this group of dying people.

With uneasy emotions, Yelu Chenghui made up his mind and wrote a secret letter in person.

In the secret letter, he recounted how Shuhu Siji, Tu Danjing, and Jiagu Asu were embarrassed to add fuel to the deceit, and made up the story that he was forced to follow them out of desperation.

Yelu Chenghui described himself as a tragic courtier under de facto house arrest and only free to sign the issued order document.

He endured the humiliation, finally found an opportunity to tell the emperor the truth, and asked the emperor to send troops to help immediately, punish the traitor, rescue Zhongliang, and save the situation.

Loyal ministers like Yelu Chenghui are looking forward to the help of His Majesty the Emperor.

In fact, there is no restriction on Yelu Chenghui's freedom.

He felt that Yelu Chenghui and himself were grasshoppers on the same rope. They were on a boat with him, and the Shandong Military Region capsized.

So Shuhu Siji didn't think that Yelu Chenghui would be stupid enough to stab the real situation to the capital and let the emperor know.

Originally, Yelu Chenghui had planned to do the same. He didn't feel that he should tell the emperor the truth. The risk was too great, and he could not guarantee that he would be able to escape.

But now the situation has changed drastically. Jiagu Asu has already been defeated, and the prospects are not good. Even if Shuhusiji wins, he cannot announce that the rebellion on Shandong East Road will be subsided. The uncertainty is too great.

In this way, Shu Hu Siji and Tu Shan Jingjiu died, obviously there was no future.

If Yelu Chenghui does not jump ship as soon as possible to become a tainted witness, the probability of surviving will definitely be much lower than that of a tainted witness.

So after weighing the pros and cons, Yelu Chenghui decided to jump off the ship and report the news here to the emperor in exchange for his own safety.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist, sorry!

But this is nothing, anyway, Yelu Chenghui never thought that he and them were the same, whether it was cooperation or betrayal, it was forced by the current situation, and no one should say anything.

After writing the secret letter, Yelu Chenghui found his absolute confidant and instructed him to send the secret letter to the capital at an expedited speed of [-] miles. He also instructed him to go to Bozhou and Enzhou to enter Hebei, and then quickly head to the capital. Send a secret letter.

There is no Restoration Army there, it is safe.

The cronies quickly ordered four escort knights to leave Dongping Mansion with him with the secret letter, and quickly headed north.

In connection with the previous two important pieces of information, a total of three pieces of information were sent from the Dongping Mansion, one to the west, one to the east, one to the north, and the three directions acted together.

The messenger knights who are responsible for passing on the information will work fast, and they will not do anything other than change horses and sleep at the stations along the way, and will not be blocked by anyone.

They will concentrate on their journey and reach their destination as quickly as possible.

If all goes well, they will soon arrive at their destination and complete their mission.

But the thing is, they are being watched.

It was the intelligence unit of the Shengjie Army commanded by Su Yin who was eyeing them.

Since Su Yonglin instructed them to create the tactic of intercepting herald knights, Su Yin began to study this tactic seriously.

He found that he didn't need to go deep into the government to find out any news. As long as he stared at the stations around the main traffic roads, he would definitely find some interesting things.

There are frequent wars in Shandong, and the daily demand for military affairs is high. There is a post station every [-] miles on the traffic road. There are post soldiers and post horses, for the messenger knights to change their horses, drink water, eat, and rest, as well as spare messengers. knight.

As long as it is an important official document of the imperial court, it must take the prescribed official road, and change the horse and rest at the prescribed post, otherwise the people and horses will not be able to support.

So as long as you take the station on the official road as a breakthrough point, you will definitely be able to find the official messenger knight.

Su Yin has been active in Jinan and Dongping for several months. After figuring out the number and location of the stations on the main traffic roads, he also drew a map, and he knows the traffic conditions in this area well.

Although I don't know what news they will pass, according to Su Yonglin, it will definitely be unfavorable.

Therefore, as long as the conditions are available, they should try to intercept them as much as possible, so as to interfere with the transmission of information from the government and create better conditions for the Restoration Army to rebel.

This move was very useful before. Before the Liberation Army launched the second attack, the information transmission of the entire Shandong East Road was messed up, so that the officials of Shandong East Road did not know where the Restoration Army was or what they were doing until the last moment.

After that, Su Yin accumulated a wave of experience, and began to delve into the method of intercepting the messenger knight and the method of destroying the corpse and destroying the traces, and had some experience in this.

He often chooses to choose between the city and several inns near the mountains and fields between the city and send people to hide, secretly prepare items such as tripping ropes, and once he encounters a messenger knight, he will immediately go on the road to intercept it.

The location he chose was far away from the city, and it was often a place where there was no front or back of the village, and it was difficult to be discovered when he started.

Generally speaking, the post station system of the imperial court will not encounter any danger.

Officials don't dare to block, that's the rule, it's normal to stop Baili from rushing even if he is killed.

The mountain bandits did not dare to rob, for fear of angering the government and attracting the full force of the government to encircle and suppress it.

Unless during the war, the post system near the war zone is easily attacked, and the post system in the peaceful era can still be guaranteed in terms of safety factor.

So once someone really has a strong head and focuses on the messenger knight, it is really difficult to deal with.

There is no camera surveillance system these days, and the population is not so dense. Jin Guo's control of household registration is also quite poor. There are large areas of deep mountains and old forests in the control area, and a drill into the mountains is no different from human evaporation.

With a mind and no intention, Su Yin brought the intelligence troops to a lot of credit, which made the intelligence information of the Shandong Jinguo government a mess, and also provided a lot of important information for the Shengjie Army.

In the face of such a situation, the Jin Guo government's response was rather weak and weak, because they simply did not have more energy to devote to dealing with this kind of thing.

On the contrary, there were a few news that the knights had disappeared from the world, which attracted the attention of the government, and they also sent people to the surrounding areas to inquire, but they found nothing.

The military situation is urgent, and the government can only bite the bullet and increase the number of guard knights to ensure that the information can be delivered on time.

This means nothing to Su Yin.

One is also killed, two are also killed, and three are still killed. As long as they meet, their hearts are swayed, and they are pulled, and anyone will fall into a rut.

Of course, the interception of intelligence forces is not always successful.

It is better to say that because of the lack of manpower and lack of experience, the probability of not being able to catch people is higher.

But this time, it was successful.
