Outside Linjin City, the Han army had made no major moves except for launching a large-scale attack on the first day. These days, it was basically a siege but not an attack. They only fired a few waves of arrows from time to time to maintain deterrence.
Sun Yun and others were a little confused about the behavior of the Han army. At first, they thought that the Han army was going to test the Linjin city defense first, and then launch a fierce attack to target the weak points of the city defense. Unexpectedly, the subsequent offensive suddenly dropped sharply. The more than a thousand civilians and private soldiers from large households that they finally recruited were left with nothing to eat for several days.
"Master Fu, what do you mean by the Shu thieves? They don't want to break the city quickly but instead lay a siege for a long time. This matter seems weird no matter how you look at it. They dare to be so slow when they go deep into our hinterland. There must be a trick in it!" On the way up, Jiang De, who was accompanying Sun Yun to inspect armaments, looked at the Han army camp outside the city and said in confusion.
Sun Yun shook his head slightly: "I don't understand the intentions of the Shu army, but what is certain is that the Shu army must be preparing some conspiracy. Yang Qing is a wise man in Western Shu. He is proficient in the art of war and knows how to plan. He is deeply relied on by Zhuge Liang. .
There must be a deep meaning for this son to act like this. He may be in Jin Dynasty or in reinforcements, which is difficult to figure out. "
"The Lord Fu meant that Yang Qing, the traitor, may have two motives for besieging us but not attacking us. One is to paralyze us, and then suddenly launch a strong attack to defeat Linjin in one fell swoop.
The second is to use this to lure our reinforcements over, and then take the opportunity to ambush our reinforcements somewhere. "Jiang Deruo said with enlightenment.
Sun Yun nodded and said: "I do think so, but this is just a guess. Yang Qing's real intention needs to be seen again. Now as long as we defend the city, it is the best explanation to the court. As for other things, we can do it ourselves." With the general and the others thinking about it, I don’t have to worry too much.”
"What Mr. Fu said is absolutely true." Jiang De also deeply agreed with this and agreed sincerely.
Yunyang County is located in the heart of Sanqin and on the Yangtze River of Jingshui. It borders Yetai Mountain to the east, Jinchi River to the west, Beizhong and Saga Mountains to the south, and Ganquan Mountain to the north. It is named after Ganquan Mountain, which is also called Yunmeng Mountain. .
This county is about two hundred miles away from Chang'an. It borders Xunyi to the north, Liquan to the south, Sanyuan to the east, and Yongshou to the west. It is a place with good connections in all directions. People from Anding, Fengyi and Beidi counties often pass through here when going to Chang'an. .
Chen He is thirty-six years old this year and is a native of Yunyang. He studied hard when he was young, but because he was born in poverty and was not appreciated by anyone, he has not made any progress in his official career. He only found a job as a county sergeant in the Yunyang County Temple, doing some copying and copying on weekdays.
However, Chen He did not complain about his unsatisfactory career. His behavior was as modest and courteous as his name, and he was highly praised by his neighbors.
But what no one could have imagined is that this middle-aged scholar who is gentle and kind to others is secretly a Jihan Youwei, and his status is not low. His official position in Youwei Mansion is Qu Wei, who is Yunyang. The person in charge of all wandering guards in the county.
On this day, Chen He went to the county temple early as usual to go on duty. When he entered the public room, he found that there were already three or four colleagues inside, which did not surprise him.
Because during this period of time, the news that the Han army had penetrated into the hinterland of Guanzhong and captured the city under Feng Yi had spread around. The county magistrate Zheng An was worried that the Han army would suddenly attack Yunyang, so he ordered all county officials to strictly guard their posts these days to prevent I can't find anyone when the Han army comes.
"President Chen, Master Huang asked you to come over." Not long after Chen He sat down at his desk, a servant came in and said to him.
Chen He knew that this person was a personal attendant of Huang Jun, the chief clerk, so he smiled, nodded, and replied: "Thank you, I will come over right away."
Huang Jun's apartment was across the courtyard. Chen He hurriedly walked in, bowed and said, "He has met the chief registrar."
"County Assistant Chen is here, take a seat."
Chen He thanked him, sat down at the lower left position, and then raised his hands and asked, "I don't know what the chief's instructions are for calling me here?"
"Tomorrow there will be a troop of troops coming from Chang'an passing by our Yunyang. Although the army will not come to the county town, Mingting thinks that we should take the initiative to do our best.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty asked me to send a batch of food and grass to this army tomorrow, and you will also come with me. " Huang Jun said.
Chen He heard this thought and asked curiously: "The soldiers and horses coming from Chang'an? Are they going to reinforce Feng Yi?"
He asked this on purpose. Based on the relationship between him and Huang Jun that he had known each other for many years, it was a normal reaction to ask at this time. Not asking would only arouse suspicion.
"Haha, as long as you know this well, don't make it known everywhere. The army did not come to the county and left from the Saga Mountain side to hide the news as much as possible. You are an old man in the county, so you will follow tomorrow." Huang As expected, Jun had no suspicion and took the opportunity to draw closer to the two of them.
Although Chen He was overjoyed, there was no abnormality on his face. He showed a tacit smile and replied: "Yes, I understand."
In the Han army's camp outside Linjin City, Yang Qing was reading at night in his tent, when he suddenly heard Wu Que asking for an audience outside the tent.
"Envoy, there is news from Youwei that Cao Zhen has sent troops from Chang'an to kill Feng Yi. The Wei army is currently in Yunyang and will arrive in Linjin in two days." Wu Que just entered the tent. Reported immediately.
Yang Qing nodded and asked: "How many troops are there in the Wei army? Who is leading the army? How many cavalry are there? Have you ever found out about these situations?"
"Replying to the envoy, the guards in Yunyang County have discovered the situation. The Wei army has about 11,000 troops, including 5,000 light cavalry.
As for the leading generals, they mainly include Yan He, Bian Bao, and Wu Gui. Yan He is the chief general and Bian Bao is the deputy general. As for Wu Gui, he is the Zhonglang general of Feng Yi County. Because he is familiar with the situation in Feng Yi County, Cao Zhen lets him He led his troops and horses back. "
Yang Qing pondered for a moment, then asked: "Do you know the temperament, martial arts, etc. of these three Wei generals?"
Although the reputation of these three people will not be obvious in later generations, Yang Qing does not dare to look down upon it. After all, the historical data of the Three Kingdoms are incomplete. I don’t know how many heroes have been lost in the long river of history. What if these three people are rare wise and brave people? Generals are difficult to deal with. Therefore, only by paying attention to the enemy first can we have a chance to defeat the enemy.
"Yan He is Cao Zhen's confidant who has been following Cao Zhen for many years. He is not outstanding in talent, but is more loyal and steady. Bian Bao is said to be skilled in swordsmanship and good at riding, but he has a hot temper and is impatient. He often quarrels and conflicts with others.
As for Wu Guinai, a veteran general, he is over 50 years old this year, and his martial arts and intelligence are mediocre. He, a lieutenant general in the county, also spent many years of seniority before being promoted. "Wu Que replied.
Yang Qing nodded, thinking that these three people were not famous generals with outstanding talents, but they were very good to deal with. Then he thought about it, and it was right. The only famous generals in the Wei army in Guanzhong were Cao Zhen, Zhang He, Guo Huai, Fei Yao, and Dai. Ling and these people.
Among them, the quality of Fei Yao and Dai Ling is not yet known. Therefore, even if the Wei State is rich in talents, it is impossible to have more than ten famous generals in Guanzhong. Therefore, Yan He, Bian Bao, and Wu Gui It's normal even if it's not outstanding.
But these three people are definitely not weak opponents, otherwise Cao Zhen would not send them to lead the troops to rescue Feng Yi. In addition, they have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in their hands, and Yang Qing needs a lot of troops if he wants to realize his plan. Put a lot of thought into it.
Fortunately, the current situation was within Yang Qing's expectations. In addition, You Wei and Wu Que in Guanzhong did an excellent job in intelligence work. He was sure to lead the more than 10,000 Wei troops into the trap.
Yang Qing said approvingly. "Very good. The information you gathered is very detailed and comprehensive."
"Most of these are due to Youwei's side, and Beiji and others are just colluding and collaborating." Wu Queqian said.
Yang Qingdao: "Our place has only been established recently, so it has been in business for many years and has a deeper foundation than Youwei, but there is no need to be discouraged. It will get better as time goes by.
Speaking of which, I dared to take risks in the hinterland of Guanzhong this time only because of good intelligence. In subsequent actions, our army will need more intelligence support from internal agents and spies. You will have to work harder to communicate with Youwei in a timely manner. "
"Yes, to reassure you, I will do my best if I'm not sure."
