In Baize City, Hu Weiyong and Bu Jing were arranged to rest in a room next to the Yamen.
On the originally quiet street outside, there was suddenly the sound of rapid horse hooves. Hu Weiyong, who was resting, was suddenly awakened. He quickly stood up and listened.
"Did something happen?"
A trace of surprise appeared in his heart. As far as he knew, there had been no war in Baize County for a long time, but the sound of horse hooves just now clearly meant that someone reported an emergency to the county magistrate and county magistrate.
In today's China mainland, the only thing that can be called an emergency is war.
The thoughts in Hu Weiyong's mind turned rapidly.
All kinds of information were quickly put together in his mind, and he suddenly thought of the river channel he had been observing for a long time. To the east of Bai Ze was the canal.
Across the river is the territory of Pang Shigu and Hou Jing.
"The changes in the world have stopped, and the production of food has dropped significantly... Pang Shigu and Hou Jing are just reckless men. The food and grass in the camp must have been exhausted!"
"They are just like Fulong, they will plunder everywhere if they don't have food and grass!"
Before coming to Baize, Hu Weiyong kept inquiring about Sihong's situation, including the distribution of forces around Sihong.
In the palace.
A lot of intelligence gathered by the Military Intelligence Department was stored in an attic, and a lot of useful information was obtained.
According to these messages.
Hu Weiyong secretly speculated that the anomaly tonight was most likely related to Pang Shigu and Hou Jing. Maybe they sent soldiers across the river to plunder.
"If this is the case, Bai Ze will soon undergo a big change... This is a good opportunity to make a contribution!"
Hu Weiyong's eyes flashed brightly.
Time passed quickly.
By the next day, Hu Weiyong knew what happened last night.
"I didn't expect that Pang Shigu and Hou Jing would be so bold and send people to challenge us! They are simply looking for death!"
When the servants brought breakfast, there was a hint of anger in Bu Jing's tone.
Hu Weiyong was eating next to him. He wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "There is no way, they have no food and grass, so they have to plunder the surroundings, but they have chosen the wrong opponent!"
"Faced with this kind of provocation, the king will definitely send troops. Brother Bu, when the king sends troops, Baize will definitely be the place where the army will gather. You are Hucao and I am Cangcao. We will get busy soon!"
Hearing this, Bu Jing couldn't help but glance at the other party.
After he came, he also learned about Hu Weiyong's historical experience and that he was once the prime minister of a country, and his political ability and vision were even stronger than those of Shen Yi and Bu Zhi.
But when he personally experienced the other party's ability to see the smallest details, he couldn't help but sigh.
Have such ability.
In the future, as long as Hu Weiyong learns the lessons of history and no longer does those taboo things, he will definitely become an important minister under King Huai in the future.
…
Sihong, Prince Huai's Mansion.
Peng!
Wang Jing slapped the jade case in front of him with a heavy palm, "How brave, these two thieves came to my door before I even went to find them!"
Baize and Sihong are also connected by waterways, so news can be transmitted quickly.
When Hu Weiyong and Bu Jing learned about the situation, the news had already reached Sihong and was brought to Wang Jing's eyes.
Chen Yi, Bu Zhi, Zhu Wu and other ministers also read the news.
Last night, about three hundred soldiers quietly crossed the river and raided a village in Changyang Township, Baize County. Hundreds of men and women in the village were killed and half were killed, and nearly a hundred young men were killed.
The officers and soldiers of Baihu Station who went to support were also ambushed by the local authorities, injuring dozens of people.
These enemy soldiers plundered thousands of stones of grain in the village... When Wang Jing hurriedly divided the fields before the great change, all the people took advantage of this time to plant grain and harvested it twice in a row.
Therefore, the people in any village have a lot of food stored in them.
"Your Majesty, Pang Shigu and Hou Jing have formed an alliance. They succeeded this time and plundered thousands of stones of grain. I'm afraid they have tasted the benefits and will continue to attack the villages near Baize!"
Shen Yi said.
There was a trace of anger on Wang Jing's face. To be honest, even if hundreds of people in a village were all dead, it would be just a drop in the bucket for the Huai Army today.
At this time, the Huai army has not yet been reorganized. If we send troops at this time, the gains will outweigh the losses.
However, sometimes you can't just look at the gains and losses.
If Wang Jing does not care about the killing of the people under his rule, the morale of the people will be reduced, and every person under his rule is a source of strength for the Qi Shu Dragon.
If the people are killed and the army is defeated, it will affect the morale of the entire force.
Although, this effect is very slight.
Wang Jing cannot be ignored either. A reaction must be given.
"Why didn't the Qianhu in Baize Water Village notice the enemy troops crossing the river?"
However, before sending troops, Wang Jing wanted to find out the matter first. He set up a naval station for thousands of households on the bank of the canal outside Bai Zedong Gate. The purpose is to warn the enemy on the opposite side.
Now it seems that this Navy Thousand Household Office seems to have no effect at all.
Bu Zhi said: "My lord, the canal is too wide. A navy station with thousands of households cannot block the entire river. It is especially difficult to prevent enemy troops from sneaking across at night."
"This situation can only be avoided unless we set up ten thousand-household naval stations along the river and place ten thousand-household stations along the river!"
He sighed and said: "As a privy envoy, I did not think of this in advance, which caused loopholes in the river defense. Please forgive me!"
Wang Jing waved his hand and said: "This has nothing to do with you. I ordered the establishment of the Baize Navy Qianhu. Our army's previous opponent was Fulong of Wuhe, so we were too negligent on the east bank of the canal!"
"I'm going to correct this mistake today!"
There was a hint of murderous intent in his voice.
"Send the order, let Li Jun lead the navy to go north and garrison Baize. First block the canal to prevent enemy troops from sneaking in and harassing!"
Shen Yi reminded me well just now.
After Pang Shigu and Hou Jing on the east coast easily plundered thousands of stones of grain, they would definitely not be able to help but continue to send troops to harass and plunder.
The best way to deal with this kind of thing is to directly dispatch the navy to block the canal.
The other party cannot cross the river, so naturally there is no way to plunder.
"Send an order to the Military Intelligence Department and ask Fan Yin to send people across the river to find out the news. I want to know all the news about Pang Shigu and Hou Jing!"
Wang Jing kept issuing orders;
First, block the canal for defense, and then collect intelligence to know yourself and the enemy.
The last thing to do is to recruit troops and prepare to use physical means to completely solve this trouble.
Bu Zhi was the privy envoy, but his authority was to be the counselor of military aircraft. Zhu Wu was in the Ministry of War, in charge of military status and various military-related chores.
For example, where are the troops stationed, how many soldiers are there, and how many soldiers are in the garrison.
When mobilizing troops and horses, how much should be mobilized so as not to affect the stability of the place...
so.
After Wang Jing issued successive orders, Zhu Wu began to get busy and prepare for sending troops.
