Baigou River is the lower section of the northern branch of Daqing River, a tributary of Haihe River. The upper section has Juma River as its main trunk.
The Juma River originates from Laiyuan County and reaches Tiezuo Cliff in Laishui River. It is divided into two main branches, north and south. The north branch enters Yancheng County and the east branch enters Zhuozhou County.
Baigou River flows south, passes through Gaobeidian, and joins Nanjuma River in Baigou Town, where it is called Daqing River.
Baigou River was once the boundary river between the former Song Dynasty and Beiqian. At the confluence of Baigou River and Nanjuma River, there was Baigou Town, a well-known river and land wharf.
This place is already the hinterland of King Zhao. King Zhao wants to lead Zhao Tianlin's troops here for a decisive battle because he has a high degree of control over it.
And Zhao Tianlin is also extremely cautious. He has been fighting all his life and rarely goes out as a coach.
It was not until he was seventy-six years old that he served as the coach of the battle to destroy the gold.
But at that time, the troops were divided into two groups, and he was only one of the commanders. Even though it was a battle to destroy the country, Hou Jin's army had already been wiped out in the Battle of Jinyang. The real leader of Hou Jin was Prince Nurha of the Qing Dynasty. The teeth were chopped off by Cao Xueyang.
This battle to destroy money is not considered his record at all. At most, it is just a mistake.
Zhao Tianlin also needs a record to prove himself.
He is already eighty-one this year. Putting down King Zhao's rebellion this time may be his only chance in this life.
At his age, all rights of life and death have been taken lightly, only the blessings of descendants and the reputation after death.
Although seven members of the Zhao family died for the country, the only remaining grandson, Zhao Linian, still joined the army.
In previous battles, Zhao Linian also showed his demeanor as a general.
Although he was only organizing an evacuation, Zhao Linian not only brought the injured soldiers back to Yanmen safely, but when evacuating the camp, Zhao Linian also used Huo Zhen, the general of Zhao Wangjun, to burn Zhao to death in a fire. Wang's rebel army had thousands of elite soldiers, and countless people were burned.
He is brave and resourceful, and seems to have the style of Yang Hou in the past, and has been valued by many generals in the Longwu Army.
This is also what makes Zhao Tianlin most gratified.
With his descendants promising, Zhao Tianlin let go of his worries. In his declining years, this was the only battle.
Because of the wishes of the cabinet center and the decision of the Sixth Army Governor's Office, the newly-established Pingjing Army chose a more radical strategy. Taking advantage of King Zhao's unstable foothold in Bingzhou and the southwest of Jizhou, he drove straight in and penetrated deep into King Zhao's hinterland.
This strategy is actually to force King Zhao to fight.
If King Zhao avoids fighting, it will shake the morale of the army. It is an unjust war in the first place. If the army is attacked again, how many people will be willing to serve King Zhao Zhu Kai? !
Everyone raised the army to serve the dragon, not to be a rebellious thief with you Zhu Kai.
Shake their military morale and disintegrate their fighting spirit.
This battle is half won.
At the same time, Zhao Tianlin's army had another strategy. When facing Zhao Wang's persistence, Zhao Tianlin could immediately send his troops south to take Zhang Shimei and Zhu Shihong's retreat.
The two men's 150,000 elite soldiers and 100,000 new troops are confronting Cao Xueyang, the commander-in-chief of the Longwu Army. If Zhao Tianlin suddenly comes out from behind, King Zhao's army will definitely be defeated.
This hand drives straight in and can separate the two major armies of King Zhao.
As long as Zhao Tianlin is willing, he can even attack the logistics routes of Zhang Shimei and Zhu Shihong and destroy their logistics support.
Moreover, this was an era without telegraphs. If Zhao Tianlin sent out rangers and warriors to rob and kill, even King Zhao's military orders would not be able to be conveyed smoothly.
The Sixth Army Governor's Office has done a good job in strategic planning. From a grand strategic perspective, this is undoubtedly a masterstroke.
Of course, there is no perfect strategy in the world, and this move must have flaws.
The biggest advantage is to drive straight into the enemy's heartland, but the biggest disadvantage is to go straight into the enemy's hinterland and go deep alone.
According to the original layout of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the left wing of the Pingjing Army was protected by the Tiance Army, and the right wing was supported by Cao Xueyang's troops.
But now the head coach of Tiance Army, Li Chengen, has been assassinated. Although his life is not in danger, he still suffered serious injuries. And the little emperor of Beigan seems to be crazy, constantly attacking Tiance Army, even regardless of casualties. cost.
Or some agreement was reached with Niqu Zhu Kai.
Under such an offensive, Tiance's army could only protect its territory and look for opportunities in defense, but it was difficult to divide its forces to respond to Zhao Tianlin's Pingjing army.
The same goes for Cao Xueyang on the right. While Zhang Shimei and Zhu Shihong were being restrained, Cao Xueyang himself was also restrained.
King Zhao could even find a way to cut off Jing's army's food route.
These cannot be solved by strategic layout. How can there be any perfect strategy in the world? !
It's just a choice between pros and cons.
Which strategic deployment made by the Ministry of National Defense of Qingtian Bairi Banner in later generations was not ingenious and ingenious? But he was still beaten while hanging.
Strategy is only about the overall situation, but the overall situation is composed of tactical details.
Although Zhao Tianlin followed the tactics of the Sixth Army Governor's Office, he marched very cautiously. He sent a large number of patrol patrols and ordered the Fusi of Jinyi Guards North Town to collect intelligence to support this military operation.
In addition, a large number of experts from the Tianzhi Division of Dali Temple were invited to inspect the prefectural cities along the way.
…
——
Zhuozhou County and City seemed extremely peaceful in the night, as if the war in the north had nothing to do with them.
At this time, in the night, two figures flashed over the eaves. Fangshan's night owl didn't even see what it was, and the two figures had already passed by quickly.
The direction that these two people were going was the governor's mansion in Zhuozhou County.
The mansion of a county governor is naturally heavily guarded, not only guarded by servants, but also by five or six Tongmai realm warriors.
"Xiucai, I'm going to explore the way ahead." After one of the masked warriors finished speaking, his figure walked away gracefully and fell on the ground like an autumn leaf. The man weighing hundreds of kilograms made no sound at all.
Only two feet away from him, there was a Tongmai realm warrior holding a double hook with his back turned to him, and he was completely unaware of this person's arrival.
There is no trace of stepping on the snow, and no trace of fallen leaves.
Compared to Lu Xiaofeng, Sikong Zhaixing and others, this person's lightness kung fu is probably on par with others.
But when he saw his figure flashing past, his fingers moving like lightning, the Tongmai realm warrior was already unconscious on the spot.
Sunflower's acupuncture hand is like lightning, and its acupuncture technique is unparalleled in the world.
Along the way, this person met four Jianghu warriors, who all followed the same method and stunned them all.
After a moment, he returned to the other man in black and said, "It's all settled!"
"So fast!?"
Lao Bai smiled and waved his hand and said, "Where are we now? Back then we were..."
"But what?!" Another man in black stared at him and asked.
"Let's not talk about these old things. Let's go do some business first!" The two of them immediately landed and headed towards the Zhuozhou County Sheriff's room along the route that Lao Bai just explored.
I saw the servants and guards lying on the ground along the way, it was so lively.
"Old Bai, your Qinggong is great! I'm so close to you, I can't hear your footsteps." Xiucai praised.
Lao Bai's face twitched slightly, "Haven't I always been a waiter?! If our legs and feet are not good, how can we still be a waiter!?" Lao Bai, who was talking nonsense, suddenly changed the subject and said, "By the way, Xiucai, your internal skills are also quite profound. Ah! I can't even hear the intervals between your breaths."
The scholar's face, which had been teasing just now, suddenly stiffened, "Um... This, Zi once said, the benevolent man is still. I have been doing calculations there... That thing, once I calculate it, I don't move, and then I hold my breath, so that I can calculate it clearly. Just like your waiter, my breathing has become very long over time!"
"Hahaha!"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
"It makes sense, it makes sense, let's get down to business!"
The two men, who felt guilty as thieves, immediately sneaked into the Zhuozhou County Sheriff's room.
The Zhuozhou County Sheriff was sleeping peacefully with his newly married fifteen-year-old concubine in his arms. Suddenly he felt a cold feeling on his neck. He could no longer sleep peacefully and woke up.
"Someone! Someone!"
The Zhuozhou County Sheriff shouted twice while half asleep. The maid who was supposed to be sleeping with him had already fallen asleep at this time.
This is also a kind of happiness for her. The maid who sleeps with her usually sleeps very lightly at night. Once the master needs it, she has to wake up immediately and even help to put the chamber pot.
Lao Bai knocked her out with one finger, which allowed her to have a good sleep.
The Zhuozhou County Sheriff called twice and was about to get angry when no one responded, but suddenly he saw clearly what the cold feeling between his neck meant.
A short knife with a cold light was placed on his neck, and two men in black were standing in front of his bed.
"Ah!" A scream sounded out, and the Zhuozhou County Sheriff quickly covered his mouth.
Screaming at this time will only make these gangsters want to kill, so they must be stabilized first!
Anyone who can be the head of a county is not a fool, and his mind is already thinking about how to escape.
The concubine next to him was awakened by his exclamation. When he saw this scene, he was about to scream when one of the men in black pointed out a lightning-like finger and knocked him out in the blink of an eye.
The concubine didn't even have time to make a sound.
The governor of Zhuozhou swallowed his saliva. Although he was only rough in martial arts and could not see the high level of the two's martial arts, he had a brain.
These two people were able to come here quietly without attracting the attention of the guarding masters outside. They were obviously not ordinary martial arts masters.
Moreover, since Yang Qingyuan re-established Dali Temple, there have been fewer and fewer people in the world who dare to directly attack the imperial officials.
The Tongmai realm takes action, and the Yuanhua realm pursues him.
The Yuanhua realm takes action and the Dongxuan realm pursues him.
If you focus on one, no one can escape.
"Let me ask you, how much food is there in Zhuo County!?"
The cold blade was pressed against the Zhuozhou County Sheriff's neck while he was asking, and his throat could be torn open with just a slight movement of his hand.
This blade had a very good effect in helping to recall. Under the blessing of the desire to survive, the Zhuozhou Prefect's brain was spinning rapidly.
"There are 300,000 shi of grain stored in Zhuozhou's official warehouse, including 180,000 shi of old grain and 120,000 shi of new grain. The new grain was just put into the warehouse from this autumn harvest, and the main ones are wheat and millet..."
I don't know whether the governor of Zhuozhou is honest or not, but his business ability is still good. He immediately explained the situation of the official warehouse in Zhuozhou clearly as if he was pouring beans.
"Huh?! That's all?!"
Lao Bai's hand made a gesture of trying to exert force, which frightened the county guard and continued hurriedly, "Hero, don't! Don't! There are also eight thousand shi of grain, all of which are rice. I have taken it. There is really nothing else." Got it!"
The price of polished rice is the highest among grains in the market. The purchasing power of eight thousand shi of rice is estimated to be over one million.
How dare a little county governor dare to embezzle one million... Thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem like a lot!
If a city leader on Blue Star was investigated for embezzling a million dollars, he would probably be ridiculed as "incorruptible".
The scholar was mentally calculating the eight thousand shi of grain, but Lao Bai looked down upon it.
If he wanted money, it would come to him very quickly.
Even Sikong Zhaixing, who is known as the King of Thieves, may not be able to defeat him.
"Let me ask you again, how many soldiers and horses are there in this city!?"
Following Lao Bai's question, the Zhuozhou County Sheriff seemed to have come to his senses.
If he were an ordinary gangster, how could he ask where the food was? ! A few days ago, the yamen caught a thief who called himself the Holy Thief and stole a jar of millet, two bundles of green onions, three barrels of soybean oil, and fifty kilograms of stick noodles.
But these two don't look like they stole these? !
Then there is the deployment of troops. How can the Jianghu people pay attention to this matter? !
Just when the Zhuozhou County Sheriff was hesitating, the short knife was already placed on his throat, "Oh, you are quite brave! You still refuse to say anything!"
"Hero, don't! Don't! I'm just reminiscing, reminiscing!" The Zhuozhou County Sheriff was afraid that these two people would think he was a man of integrity and then sentence him! He made his position clear immediately.
"In our Zhuozhou County, there are a total of 3,000 garrison troops, 3,000 militiamen, and hundreds of government officials and policemen...all these combined, there should be 7,000 people." Zhuozhou is a large county in Jizhou. , it is reasonable to have these soldiers and horses.
Lao Bai also took back the short knife, and then inserted it into the bed beside him.
Seeing that the murder weapon was out of danger for the time being, the county guard relaxed. It was really scary to have a short knife swinging back and forth between my throat all the time.
"These two heroes, are they from Jinyiwei?!"
Since the war between King Zhao and the imperial court, the Jin Yiwei under Beizhen Fusi have been extremely active in the land of Yanyou. Although the Zhao Palace has its own intelligence agency and has the home field advantage, it still cannot completely eliminate these Jin Yiwei.
Since Taizu established the Jinyi Guards, these people have spread all over the world to collect intelligence. Some of them have even stayed in the Northland for twenty years and have completely integrated into the Land of Yanyou; some are simply from the Northland. It would be as difficult as going to heaven to completely eliminate them.
Lao Bai and Xiucai looked at each other, and then Lao Bai stepped forward and asked, "Are we so similar to Jin Yiwei?!"
Lao Bai's playful tone startled the county guard. He thought he was going to kill him to silence him, so he hurriedly said, "It's not like that, it's not like that! I'm just being blinded! You two are obviously heroes in the world, and Those hawks and dogs in the imperial court have nothing to do with it.”
He who knows the current affairs is a hero, and this county governor is the best among heroes.
"You are right, we are indeed not from Jinyiwei."
After hearing this, the county guard breathed a sigh of relief.
"We both belong to the Tianzhi Division of Dali Temple!"
The county guard's eyes widened slightly: "..."
…
