At a restaurant in Tongzhou City, Xiang Lun looked at the bustling crowd on the street from the window and said to Yu Shiping: "Tongzhou is on the front line, with the army in front pressing down on the border, but here we are singing and dancing. I don't know what the people here think?" Do you think we won't come back?"
Yu Shiping said: "How do ordinary people know about these important national events? If the government didn't make arrangements early, it would naturally be like this. Believe it or not, when our army arrives outside the city, not many people in the city may know about it."
Xiang Lun sighed: "In troubled times, the people are also pitiful!"
Yu Shiping said: "I would rather be a peace dog than a random person. This is not something I say casually."
Xiang Lun said: "Thinking that we are about to attack, but the city is not closed here, and the people entering the city are not checked. I don't know what they are thinking. If it takes longer, we can arrange some people to enter the city. When the army arrives, we should cooperate inside and outside. , the battle becomes easier.”
Not long after, the food and wine arrived. The two of them exchanged the information they got today while enjoying wine and food.
In just half a day, Zhao Bin's arrangement in Tongzhou was clearly understood.
There are now 2,600 people in Tongzhou. Six hundred of them were deployed in Chaoyi County and Xinshi Town in the east, and 2,000 were deployed in Tongzhou City and Shayuan Town. The remaining counties under the rule had almost no troops and relied on local officials for maintenance.
Wang Xiaolie arrived at Hezhong Mansion. Although Tongzhou got the news, he never expected that Wang Xiaolie would come. They only added more manpower at the Yellow River ferry, and at the same time, boatmen were not allowed to ferry. There were no other preventive measures.
Even Xiang Lun and Yu Shiping, two lower-level officers who collected intelligence, felt that Zhao Bin's arrangement was too hasty. Compared with Wang Xiaolie's place, Tongzhou's team here is simply a grass-roots team. However, in this era, aren’t the government officials in most places all Caotai teams?
After dinner, Xiang Lun and Yu Shiping left the city and arrived at the bank of the Yellow River before dark. Taking out a firework, Xiang Lun lit it, and the firework screamed and flew into the air. When it reached the air, it suddenly exploded, and the sound spread far across the empty Yellow River.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
Not long after, a small boat came from the Yellow River. When they stopped at the shore, Xiang Lun and Yu Shiping served tea.
Li Bing, who was on the boat, asked, "Is it going well for my two brothers to have a trip to Tongzhou City?"
Xiang Lun said: "Tongzhou has not closed the city. When entering the city, you only need to pay ten cents, and you don't even need to ask about your identity. Even the yellow-mouthed children on the street know their military arrangements. We asked clearly. We even had dinner at the restaurant! All the arrangements made before departure were not used at all."
Li Bingdao: "It seems that Zhao Bin is really seeking death!"
Yu Shiping said: "Everyone in Tongzhou City knows that Zhao Bin wants to send troops to hit our back when we fight in Taiyuan in autumn and winter. This is a great achievement, and he is extraordinary among the Jin Army. However, this How can a person with such great ambitions be so carelessly arranged?”
Li Bing shook his head repeatedly after hearing this, feeling incredible.
In fact, there is nothing incredible about it. Before Wang Xiaolie, most of the Song army was like this. Although there are many secrecy systems in the military such as organic weapons and wax pills, most generals have no awareness of secrecy. As long as the other party makes a little inquiry, they can get a clear picture of Song Jun's military situation. Sometimes even the battle plan can be easily obtained by the other party. When fighting, what often happens is that the enemy sets up an ambush, or uses surprise troops to attack the key points of the Song army.
Wang Xiaolie has set up a special intelligence agency to carefully understand the enemy's situation before the war, which is unheard of in this world.
After crossing the Yellow River, the sun has already set. Xiang Lun and Yu Shiping rushed to the state capital and reported intelligence to Wang Ruohai's Jiyi Department.
Wang Ruohai got the intelligence from Tongzhou, and together with the military staff, he made a plan to attack Tongzhou overnight the next night.
After breakfast the next day, Wang Xiao went to the official hall that served as the headquarters. Wang Yan had already arrived, and when he saw Wang Xiaolie, he hurriedly saluted.
Wang Xiaolie said: "Consultant Wang said that the people sent to Tongzhou yesterday understood the military situation in Tongzhou very clearly without any effort. You go and inform a few other people and they will be here in half an hour. Discussion.”
Wang Yan promised and resigned.
Wang Xiaolie sat in front of the eucalyptus and looked at the hastily drawn map of Tongzhou on the table.
As his organization became more and more complete and he fought more battles, Wang Xiaolie felt that his opponents were becoming more and more useless. Just like Zhao Bin, there are only more than 2,000 people and he has not defended the Yellow River. What makes him so confident? Moreover, looking at the terrain of Tongzhou, as long as we cross the Yellow River, there will be no danger to defend. Tongzhou City is not tall, so Zhao Bin thought about how to prevent himself from attacking? Or, in Zhao Bin's heart, didn't he ever think that he could cross the Yellow River?
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaolie shook his head. Because Zhang Jun was on Qinfeng Road, he did not want to enter Guanzhong from a strategic perspective, but it did not mean that he could not enter Guanzhong. The current garrison in Guanzhong cannot stop Wang Xiaolie's army at all. The fertile land in Guanzhong is much richer than that in Hedong.
He has an army of 100,000. Unless the Jin Kingdom forces all the troops in the country, there will be no other opponent. What gave people like Zhao Bin the confidence to fight against themselves?
Not long after, Wang Ruohai, Shao Xing, Li Lian and Wei Ren arrived and saluted Wang Xiaolie one after another.
After asking everyone to sit down, Wang Xiaolie said: "I stayed in Hezhong Mansion for two days and got a rough understanding of the situation in Tongzhou. I only have one feeling. What makes Zhao Bin think he can defend Tongzhou? He even wants to take advantage of us to attack Jin Army, sneak attack on our retreat? How can these people be so smart?"
Shao Xing said: "Xuanfu, these generals have only seen the previous army and don't know what our army looks like at all. In their eyes, even if they occupy a big city with two or three thousand soldiers and horses, tens of thousands of us will not be able to break the city in a short time. "
Wang Xiaolie nodded: "That's right. I think back when Li Dutong was guarding Shaanzhou, Lousu's tens of thousands of troops also attacked many times. Maybe they all thought that they could be like Li Dutong. Now there are more soldiers in the army. Artillery, city walls and ditches are not enough to rely on, not to mention that Tongzhou is not a strong city. Tomorrow night, the army will cross the Yellow River and take Tongzhou City directly! Break the city at dawn the day after tomorrow! I will go to Tongzhou then to see the surrender of Shaanxi What will the generals do!”
Shao Xing and Li Lian promised together.
After Wang Xiaolie finished speaking, he asked Wang Ruohai to introduce the situation in Tongzhou and the war plan.
Wang Ruohai ordered his staff to hang up the simple map. Said: "Tongzhou is located on the bank of Luoshui River. It is also a necessary place for Hezhongfu to cross the river. It is a large city. However, after repeated wars, the town was damaged and the city wall has not been repaired until now. We crossed the river at the selected ferry , about twenty miles later is Chaoyi County, and about thirty miles further is Tongzhou. There are no dangerous passes along the way, and the journey is smooth. We plan to cross the river at You time tomorrow night. The first batch of 500 people will cross. Immediately clear the surrounding area and control the river bank. The second group of 2,000 people will cross the river at the ugly time. After crossing the river, the 2,500 people immediately set off to attack Chaoyi County. The third group of 2,000 people crossed the river. Men, bring ten artillery pieces. After crossing the river, immediately follow the troops in front. The fourth group, a thousand people will cross the river. We, the people, will cross the river with the fourth group."
Wang Xiaolie nodded. He asked Shao Xing, "Is there any problem?"
Shao Xing crossed his arms: "No problem! I will use Wei Yang's central army and Xue Cheng's left army to cross the river in batches. Xue Cheng's left army is in front and will attack Chaoyi immediately after crossing the river!"
