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 pressing down on the front, but here people 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 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'd rather be a peace dog than run away from people. I don't say this lightly."

Xiang Lun said: "Thinking that we are about to attack, 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, they can arrange some people to enter the city. When the army arrives, we should cooperate inside and outside.

, the battle will be easier to fight."

Not long after, the food and wine were served. While enjoying the food and wine, the two of them exchanged the information they had obtained today.

In just half a day, Zhao Bin's arrangements in Tongzhou were clearly understood.

Tongzhou now has a total of 2,600 people. Six hundred of them are deployed in Chaoyi County and Xinshi Town in the east, and 2,000 are deployed in Tongzhou City and Shayuan Town. The remaining counties under the rule have almost no troops.

Local officials maintain.

When Wang Xiaolie arrived at Hezhong Prefecture, Tongzhou received the news, but he did not expect that Wang Xiaolie would attack. They only added more manpower at the Yellow River ferry, and at the same time, boatmen were not allowed to ferry, and 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 was simply a grassroots team. However, in this era, most local government officials

Aren’t they all Caotai team members?

After dinner, Xiang Lun and Yu Shiping left the city and arrived at the bank of the Yellow River before dark. They took out a firework, Xiang Lun lit it, and the firework screamed and flew into the air. In the air, suddenly,

It exploded, and the sound spread far across the empty Yellow River.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

Not long after, a small boat came from the Yellow River. When it 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. Their troops and horses are arranged, and even the yellow-mouthed children on the street are clear. 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. He has accomplished such a great feat, and he is extraordinary among the Jin Army. However, this

How can a person with such great ambitions be so careless in his arrangements?"

Li Bing shook his head repeatedly after hearing this, feeling incredible.

In fact, there is nothing incredible. Before Wang Xiaolie, most of the Song army was like this. Although there were many confidentiality systems in the army, such as secrets and wax pills, most generals had no awareness of confidentiality. As long as the other party inquired a little, they could find out the military situation of the Song army.

The enemy can get it very clearly. Sometimes even the battle plan can be easily obtained by the opponent. During battle, what often happens is that the enemy sets up an ambush or surprises the Song army with a sudden attack on its vital points.

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 had already set. Xiang Lun and Yu Shiping hurried to the state capital and reported intelligence to Wang Ruohai's Jiyi Department.

Wang Ruohai obtained the intelligence from Tongzhou and worked with the military staff to formulate a plan to attack Tongzhou the next night.

After breakfast the next day, Wang Xiaolie arrived at 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 perfect and he fought more battles, Wang Xiaolie felt that his opponents were becoming more and more useless. Just like Zhao Bin, there were only more than 2,000 people and he did not defend the Yellow River. What made him so

Confidence? And looking at the terrain of Tongzhou, as long as we cross the Yellow River, there is no danger to defend. Tongzhou City is not tall, so Zhao Bin is thinking about how to prevent himself from attacking? Or, in Zhao Bin's heart, he has not thought about it.

Can you cross the Yellow River yourself?

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 Guanzhong defenders simply could not stop him.

Wang Xiaolie's army. The fertile land in Guanzhong is much richer than that in Hedong.

With an army of one hundred thousand, unless the Jin Kingdom poured out all the troops in the country, there would 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, if they occupy a big city and have two to three thousand soldiers and horses, it will be difficult for tens of thousands of us to break the city in a short time.

"

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "That's right. I think back then, Li Dutong guarded Shaanzhou, and 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 march directly to Tongzhou City! Break the city at dawn the day after tomorrow! Then I will go to Tongzhou 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. He said: "Tongzhou is located on the bank of Luoshui River. It is also a necessary place for Hezhong Prefecture to cross the river. It is a large city. However, after many wars, the town has been damaged, and even now there is no city wall.

It has been repaired. We cross the river at the selected ferry. About twenty miles later we will reach Chaoyi County, and about thirty miles further we will reach 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 group of 500 people crossed the river and immediately cleared the area and controlled the river bank. The second group of 2,000 people wanted to cross the river at the right time. After crossing the river, the 2,500 people immediately set off toward the DPRK.

Yixian attacked. The third group crossed the river with 2,000 men and ten artillery pieces. After crossing the river, they immediately followed the troops in front. The fourth group crossed the river with 1,000 men. We, along with the fourth group, crossed the river."

Wang Xiaolie nodded and said to Shao Xing, "Are there any questions?"
