Yanlin Jin army camp

Handsome tent

Yan Kui sat on the chair, holding the handle of the chair, and talked eloquently to Qin Qi and the two.

"General, Brother Niu, I think the two of you also know that I started by suppressing bandits, but before that, I'm afraid you don't know much about my experience."

Qin Qi nodded, but Niu Zhan laughed: "My brother underestimated his reputation, your prestige in the green forest, Lao Niu has also heard of it in Pingyang." ”

Yan Kui didn't expect Niu Zhan to know about this, so Lian Lianqian gave a few words, but Qin Qi really didn't know Yan Kui's old news, and asked with some curiosity.

"Yuan Han has also mixed in the green forest?"

Yan Kui nodded, and said with some emotion on his face: "Before joining the army, because of my livelihood, the last general did mix on the green forest road, because I had the strength to handle it, and I was looked down upon by friends from all walks of life, so I slowly mixed up the name on the road."

Later, the imperial court decided to suppress the bandits, and I was invited by Brother Wen Zheng, the former commander of Qingyuan County, to form the Qingyuan Militia Group.

In fact, Yan Kui is not a nobody in the army now, at least in the circle of the Yongzhou Mansion Army, Yan Kui, who has destroyed the bandits' nest, is definitely a rising star, and he is also a number one figure among the middle and lower-level military attachés.

Otherwise, Qin Qi would not attach great importance to promoting him, and Niu Zhan, these old oilers, would also treat each other as brothers.

……………

However, Yan Kui mentioned his experience in the green forest not to recall the past, he was for the sake of business.

"General, Brother Niu, because I met a lot of friends in the green forest back then, and later when I led the troops to suppress the bandits, there were many local green forest heroes who came to me, first, I wanted to contribute to the elimination of bandits in my hometown, and second, I also wanted to fight with me in the army to get rich.

This group of people are all old rivers and lakes who have been mixed in the green forest for many years, and they are all good at martial arts, and they are absolutely good soldiers, but there is only one thing, these people have a rebellious personality, do things casually, have no rules for the king, and often make some trivial things, which gives me a headache.

Later, I simply listed them as a separate army and gave them a name, called the Black Guard, who was responsible for investigating intelligence and doing tasks such as lurking.

Unexpectedly, this is exactly the specialty of this group of green forests, and then I repeatedly won big victories against bandits, thanks to the black-clothed guards to spy on intelligence and internal strategies, so I also relied on them even more, this time from the border, I specially brought them to my side, responsible for scout intelligence work. ”

Speaking of this, Yan Kui looked at Qin Qi and Niu Zhan, who were a little thoughtful, smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, and continued.

"After the fall of the valley before, I immediately sent my subordinates to investigate the vicinity of the valley, and after many investigations, the black-clothed guards reported me an interesting situation."

……………

"What's going on?" Qin Qi asked.

Yan Kui didn't sell it: "The black-clothed guards under my command have found out that the valley camp that is now occupied by the Zhou army is surrounded by a faint smell of medicine. ”

"Medicinal smell?" Niu Zhan puffed out two bull's eyes, his face full of puzzlement.

"That's right, it's medicinal."

Yan Kui emphasized these two words again, and then said: "In addition to the smell of medicine, the black-clothed guard also found that there were eight or nine thousand Zhou troops stationed on the periphery of the valley.

General, I have been to the valley camp with you before, and there are at least 25,000 to 30,000 people living in the valley, and there are at least 20,000 Zhou troops stationed in Tuxian County, that is to say, Suoya's strength in the valley is about 30,000, and excluding the previous battle losses, it is at most 26,700 people.

This amount of Zhou army in the valley is completely bearable, why send thousands of troops out of the valley to station, I asked this part of the new battalion set up by the Zhou army.

One, there is no danger to defend, two. It is not a special tactical position, and third, it and the Zhou army in the valley cannot form a defensive or offensive advantage in response to the horns, which is completely for the sake of making an extra move and trying to consume manpower and material resources.

General, Suo Ya is also a general of the Western Zhou Dynasty, who has been in the army for many years, and it is impossible to take a single idle move, so I deduce that the Zhou army is likely to be sick on a large scale, and the Zhou army that independently went out of the valley is to prevent the spread of disease and is responsible for guarding the diseased Zhou army in the valley. ”

With the surprise attack on Suoya's rainy night, Qin Qi and the others increased their vigilance, and their specific forces in Tuxian County were also exposed, so Yan Kui would make inferences based on the deployment of Suoya's soldiers.

"The army is sick? Zhou Jun has a plague? ”

Qin Qi's face changed suddenly, and he made his debut suddenly.

Perhaps in the eyes of later generations, it is a fantasy for the army to fall ill collectively, but in this era, this is a very common military phenomenon, and various factors such as water and soil adaptation, epidemics, environment, weather, and insufficient sanitary conditions can easily break out a disaster of a collective illness of the army.

When he was young, Qin Qi once encountered a plague outbreak in the military camp, and at that scene, countless iron-clad men were killed by the disease, and there was not one in tens of thousands of soldiers.

This left an unforgettable impression on Qin Qi at that time, so as soon as Yan Kui mentioned that the Zhou army was collectively ill, he remembered the appalling plague that year.

……………

"It shouldn't be the plague."

Yan Kui didn't know what Qin Qi was thinking in his heart, he summed up the excitement of the other party to the excitement of seeing the fighter, and then analyzed.

"If it is a plague, then the Zhou army will definitely not be so calm, at least the Zhou army at the mouth of the valley will not be so close to the valley, so I speculate that the Zhou army is not a plague.

On the contrary, I think it will be the previous rain battle, the Zhou army has been soaked in the rain for several days, and it is likely that the cold has entered the body and has the wind cold. ”

"It's possible."

Niu Zhan nodded: "In the previous days, the rain was heavy and the weather was cold, and many of the soldiers in our camp suffered from wind cold. ”

"That's what I thought."

Yan Kui slapped his palms: "So, later, I sent someone to Tuxian to secretly find out the information in this regard, and sure enough, all the doctors in Tuxian County have been arrested by Zhou Jun recently, and the drugs for treating wind and cold and physical weakness have almost been sold out in Tuxian."

Therefore, I expected that a large part of the Zhou army in the valley camp must be suffering from wind and cold, general, this is a godsend. ”

"yes."

Niu Zhan's eyes lit up, and his voice was particularly loud: "The Zhou army is sick on a large scale, its upper and lower armies will inevitably fluctuate, and the number of warriors who can fight will be greatly reduced, if we attack the valley at this time, it is very likely to drive away the Zhou army and recapture the valley."

At that time, our army rebuilt the valley camp, and re-established the Pinzi defense line with Tushan and the main camp, and we were able to play this game of chess again.

Looking at Niu Zhan, who was excited, Yan Kui smiled slightly: "Even if we can't take the valley, but take this opportunity to greatly frustrate its spirit, shame before the snow, and restore my great Jin prestige." ”

…………

Qin Qi was a little moved by what Yan Kui said, he had just won a battle, and the impression he left on him was very bad, if he could quickly win a battle, then just like Yan Kui said, not only was he ashamed, but it was also easy to leave a good impression on the top of him who was brave and worked hard.

At that time, the impact of the previous valley defeat would be greatly weakened, and he, Qin Qi, would regain the trust and value of the above and Di Shuai.

It's just that Qin Qi is still a little hesitant that Zhou Jun's illness is Yan Kui's speculation after all, although various phenomena show that this speculation is very likely to be true, but Qin Qi is still afraid that he will fall into the trap of Zhou Jun and lose his troops.

There is no way, just now the valley was newly defeated, thousands of soldiers and horses were broken, Qin Qi really couldn't afford to gamble, if he led the troops to raid the Zhou army and failed, then he lost the army twice in a row, even if he was not killed, he had to resign and return home.

From this point of view, Qin Qi was reluctant to send troops, but he was afraid that he would really miss the opportunity and let go of the credit in vain, so he swayed from side to side in his heart, and he couldn't make a decision for a long time.

After thinking about it for a while, Qin Qi still didn't think about it, so he asked Yan Kui and the others to go to the side camp to rest first, and he pondered it himself.

Yan and Niu also roughly understood Qin Qi's difficulties, and compared their hearts to their hearts, in other words, they might not be able to make a decision in an instant when they faced such a dilemma.

The two left the shuai account, and Niu Zhan looked at Yan Kui: "Brother, did you say that the general would send troops." ”

Yan Kui shook his head: "How to deal with it, the general has his own considerations, and we, as subordinates, will obey orders." ”

"Yes."

Niu Zhanhan smiled, and then rubbed his stomach: "Hungry, go, go to Huotou Camp to find something to eat." ”

Yan Kui nodded with a smile and followed behind Niu Zhan, but his thoughts drifted far away.

……………

In fact, for Yan Kui, Qin Qi's willingness to send troops this time is not too strong.

Sending troops to win the results is certainly very good to Yan Kui, after all, he came up with an idea, and Yan Kui has nothing to lose if he doesn't send troops, after all, he is not at home.

Just now he made a statement in the Shuai account, first, to do his duty, as a general of the Jin army, in the case of knowing the fighter, of course he has to report, and second, to support the fact that he has a black-clothed guard under his command to the surface.

A few days ago, the Qingyuan dark network just sent information, saying that a group of mysterious people suddenly came to Qingyuan and Teng County, and it seemed that they were quietly investigating something, and they seemed to be very interested in Yan Kui's use of intelligence when he exterminated the bandits.

It was Guan Yankui, the dark web did not dare to slack off, relying on the terrain and local connections, and with great difficulty, he finally figured out the origin of this group of people, which was the emperor's spy intelligence organization - the famous Long Xiaoxiao.

The main purpose of the people from Long Xiaoxiao School coming to Qingyuan seems to be related to Liu Qiniang's incident, and the attention to Yan Kui is an accident.

After all, it's an official spy organization, so it's naturally more sensitive to this kind of intelligence work.

However, although Long Xiaoxiao simply paid attention to Yan Kui, Yan Kui still didn't dare to slack off, after receiving the information from the dark web, he thought about it for a few days, and decided to let the dark web continue to hide, and then pushed the information to the black-clothed guards, and also made them a green forest background in a decent way to hide people's eyes.

In this way, Long Xiaoxiao's vigilance against the intelligence system in Yan Kui's hands can be greatly reduced, after all, there are many people who walk on the cornices and walls like this on the green forest road, and there are many people who step on the letter to explore the letter.

Yan Kui mixed in the green forest back then, and after joining the army, he specially pulled up such a special team, which is reasonable and logical.

Today, Yan Kui talked about the "origin" of the black-clothed guard in front of Qin Qi and Niu Zhan, just to support him to the bright side, and also to dispel Long Xiaoxiao's attention by the way.

Looking at the appearance of Qin Qi and Niu Zhan just now, the two of them didn't seem to have any doubts about his words, it seemed that Yan Kui's matter of the intelligence system in his hands was barely sorted out.

In the future, even if someone suspects that Yan Kui has a huge intelligence network in his hands, he can prevaricate the background of the black-clothed guard.

Yanlin's main battalion, the head of the fire

Yan Kui took a big bite of the pancake with the meat, and finally put a matter of thought in his heart.
