Volume 1: The Battle of Luchuan Chapter 15: The Birth of the Intelligence Service (Part II)

"No, Baihu, don't you have Wang Shangshu's 100,000 army as a support? Even if we Qu Jingwei are defeated for a while, we will not be besieged. One person questioned loudly, and Jiang Yu looked at it, it was the new general flag, the former Li Xiaoqi Li Xian.

"No, right now, the army has broken through the two camps of Ghost Cry Mountain and Mangya Mountain, and the leader of the Luchuan Army has fled," Jiang Yu shook his head with a serious expression: "But there are still several famous figures in the Luchuan forces, they will soon control the situation, and they are still my Ming Dynasty's fierce rivals - do you know where these people are now?" ”

"My subordinates don't know." Li Xian was asked.

"Hundreds of miles to the south, in Jiangtou City in the west of Jinsha River, there are also Luchuan forces controlled by Silu, who are supported by the Luchuan forces-from Mengyang to Jiangtou City, there are countless camps along the way," Jiang Yu's face was heavy.

"In order to completely defeat the Luchuan forces, the army will definitely go south, and at that time, without the containment and support of the army, with our current strength to resist the Luchuan army's attack on Mengyang, it will only be a way to defeat."

Hearing Jiang Yugang's words, not only Li Xian's expression changed greatly, but the soldiers could not hide their panic in their hearts, and they couldn't help but start talking quietly. They are all people who have actually experienced countless battles, and they know the cruelty of the war and the determination of the Luchuan Army to capture Mengyang City.

Whether it is them, the defenders of Mengyangcheng, or the army led by Jingyuanbo Wang Ji, they have to rely on the road through Mengyangcheng to transport supplies and supplies, once Mengyangcheng falls into the hands of the enemy, the army will be unable to fight again, and the fate of these defenders, or captured, or killed in battle, will only be the worst.

"Therefore, we must prepare in advance, and while the army has not yet left, we must take advantage of the victory to sweep away the enemy's forces near Mengyang, and we must do everything we can to become stronger." Jiang Yuyan stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"It is a way to transfer people from the commander of Meng Yangcheng to make up for them, but the people who can be transferred to us are limited after all, and we can't take a salary from the bottom of the pot and solve the problem at the root."

"So, going into the mountains, this is our only choice, Manggu Mountain is also a mountain, but it is too close to Mengyang City, too far away from the countless Luchuan villages in the mountains and forests, we need to go deep into the mountains and forests, and get more resources from the villages there." Jiang Yugang began to tell everyone about his plan to enter the mountain.

"Even if we can't get resources, we must try our best to prevent the Luchuan army from obtaining all kinds of manpower and materials from these villages, so that we can strengthen ourselves and weaken the enemy."

"But will we be in danger in the mountains?" One person was worried, and Jiang Yu recognized this person as one of the new intelligence agents.

"So this is where you need an intelligence officer, you need to know all kinds of information, including the terrain, the distribution of wild beasts, the location of the village, and the people in the village." Jiang Yu looked at An Bai approvingly, "And this is also where An Bai, who has discovered the intelligence of Nansang Village, does a good job." ”

An Bai scratched his head a little bewildered, and smiled at the others who were looking at him.

"In order to reward An Bai's merits, I hereby promote you from an intelligence officer to an executive officer, and you report to me with my permission, you can call on the intelligence agent for your use." Jiang Yugang directly rewarded him and set the goal of an intelligence officer's efforts.

"Thank you, thank you hundred!" An Bai almost didn't react for a while, he didn't expect that he had just made a few deals with the people in the cottage, and after chatting for a few days, he would become the leading figure among the soldiers, and joy came to his heart.

"Then we'll go and find out the news now? Just enough to shoot some prey. Seeing An Bai being promoted to an executive officer so easily, an intelligence officer asked Jiang Yu a little anxiously.

"No, all the people from the Intelligence Department will follow me to my compound, and I will instruct you." Jiang Yu said: "Although the matter of entering the mountain is important, it must not be rushed, no matter when, do not be impatient, this is also the first thing that all intelligence officers must remember." ”

…………

After becoming a hundred households, Jiang Yugang moved from the place where he lived with a few blacksmiths to the original camp of one hundred households. In addition, in order to show his attention to a few blacksmiths, he also placed a few people in a tent next to the hundred tents.

Originally, it was the place where the cronies of the Hyakwa lived, but they had not lived there for a long time after they died in battle with the previous Hyaknohe.

The camp tent of 100 households was the most spacious residence in the Manggu Mountain camp, and it was not crowded to accommodate a dozen people, so Jiang Yugang decided to use this place as a training base for the first batch of intelligence officers.

"When everyone is here, then the first training of our intelligence department begins." Jiang Yu glanced at these people who were a little nervous: "As a member of the Intelligence Department, the first thing you have to remember is what I said, what is it?" ”

"Don't be impatient at any time." Ah Tian was the first to respond, and then the others sparsely responded.

Jiang Yuyan shook his head a little helplessly, and then tried to show himself a serious enough expression: "I need you to work together, answer my questions neatly, if you can't do it, then don't do it." ”

"Don't be impatient at any time!" This time, the answer was much neater. Jiang Yuyan has no way to do this, he must make these soldiers realize that the Intelligence Department is a serious matter, not play with him.

"Okay," Jiang Yu nodded: "Then the second thing that the intelligence officer should remember is loyalty, absolutely loyal to me." ”

"Specifically, there are two requirements, one is to do everything possible to minimize the damage, and if you are in a situation where you have to betray me, then you must choose the method that does the least damage to me and my purpose."

"Second, once the betrayed intelligence officer is discovered, he will be killed, and after the report is reported, he will be credited with a great credit, strict discipline, and the living space of the traitor will never be allowed."

As soon as these few words were spoken, the faces of everyone present changed slightly, and Jiang Yuyan hurriedly added words to ease the explanation: "Why do you say that, because for the Intelligence Department, intelligence is the most precious thing, and if you become a traitor and leak our intelligence, you are destroying the foundation on which we stand." ”

"However, we are Ming soldiers, and we should be loyal to the saint, although you stood up in the battle and are our backbone, but we can't be absolutely loyal to you." One of them asked with a worried face.

"To be loyal to me is to better carry out my mission," Jiang Yuyan had long been prepared for this kind of question, as a modern person, he had no respect for the orthodox emperor, and he was very good at quibbling in words.

"Let me ask you, is it Uncle Jing Yuan who directly commands you, or is the chief soldier commanding you? Or is it that the Holy One commands you to fight? Jiang Yu's eyes looked coldly into the eyes of the questioner: "To win the battle and survive on the battlefield, whose command should you listen to?" ”

"Listen...... The command of the hundred households. The man replied in a panic, sweat already breaking out on his forehead.
