Back to the Song Dynasty: The Rise of an Empire

If the Tang Empire won, it would say to its opponents: "You damn well behave yourself in the future, or be careful that I wipe out your entire clan. Pay tribute obediently every year!"

Chapter 473 The Intelligence War of the Song Dynasty

At this time, Jin troops swept through the fortified villages near Fengcheng, escorting all grain and people back to Fengcheng.

Although the Jin soldiers found Huangfuxuan's letter among the civilians who left the city, they managed to prevent the information from being leaked.

However, one Jin soldier managed to escape from one of the scorched-earth troops.

He was rushing towards Yue Fei's army in a great hurry.

He tried to take the most difficult routes, avoiding all the checkpoints of the Jin army.

On the second day at noon, he entered the territory controlled by the Song army and was captured by the Song army's outpost troops.

"I have important intelligence to report to Commander Yue!"

The Song soldiers at the outpost escorted the man directly to Yue Yun, the outpost commander.

Yue Yun's subordinate said, "Commander Yue, this man is definitely a spy from the Jin Kingdom! He should be killed on the spot!"

Yue Yun asked, "What important matter do you have with Commander Yue?"

"It cannot be said. Please, sir, see Commander Yue!"

A Song officer on the side sneered, "The Jin traitors are ignorant. They think they can harm our commander with such methods? Are they trying to play a little trick of revealing their true intentions?"

The Jin soldier was almost crying with anxiety, kowtowing on the ground. That strategic deployment was something his brothers had earned by risking their lives.

Just yesterday, the Jin traitors executed eight or nine hundred civilians who were implicated in the incident.

If they were trapped here, countless people would die with regrets.

Yue Yun said, "It's alright. Men! Escort him back to the central army camp. He will not be able to see Commander Yue!"

"Commander, this is not appropriate..."

"There's nothing wrong with that. If we're afraid of even a mere Jin soldier, then all the soldiers of our Great Song should atone to the Emperor with their lives!"

"yes!"

This young Jin soldier was escorted by the Song army all the way back to the Song army's central camp.
