At the foot of Wolf Mountain, there is a delivery shop. It was originally a post road with the Busan Village in the Song Dynasty, but it was later divided into two countries, and the traffic road was only the Xiongju Post Road in the east, and this post road was slowly abandoned. This shop has slowly become a small town.

On this day, a big man wearing a Fan Yang hat came from the south. When you get to the entrance of the town, look at the notice posted on the stone sign on the side of the road. Seeing that the Khitan recently unveiled list was posted on it, saying that anyone who could say that the Song Dynasty had a military arrangement, he would be rewarded with thousands of dollars, and nodded secretly.

Looking around, there are no pedestrians. The big man stepped forward, stretched out his hand to unveil the unveiling list, and held it in his arms. He clapped his hands and walked towards the middle of town.

Contrary to the Song Dynasty, there was no defense in the Khitan territory, the roads were smooth, and there were no inquiries. Dahan arrived at a shop on the side of the road, picked a seat and sat down, and said in a loud voice: "Master, cut a plate of meat, and then beat a corner of wine." I've eaten, and I'm on my way! ”

The little guy in the store responded, quickly cut the meat, beat a corner of wine, and brought it up.

Drinking a glass of wine, the man said: "I heard that the Song Dynasty in the south is strong and clear, and there is not even a personal field outside the city, but it is lively here." ”

The little guy said: "Guest officer, it is the soldiers and horses of the Northern Dynasty who are going to fight the Southern Dynasty, and the soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasty will not fight over." The two countries have broken off contacts, and the business in our small shop is much worse, if it is the same as the Song Dynasty, where can life go on? ”

The man nodded and said, "I'm going to Yizhou, but I don't know if it's convenient or inconvenient now." ”

The little guy said: "The guest officer drank the wine and went, the road was smooth, but there were fewer people." ”

The man said "um", then drank and ate meat, and stopped talking. The little guy shook his head and went to work.

This man is Wu Ban, and when he heard about the Khitan reward that day, he moved his mind. Originally, with his status and status, he could not access the deployment of the Song army's troops. It was also a coincidence, a few days ago, he sent his commander to the Guangxin Army to discuss the military, and he was bored to see the Song Army's troop layout hanging on the wall, and made a rough note. Within the Song army, this is not a confidential matter, it is just that the Khitans have poor intelligence gathering capabilities.

After eating and drinking, Wu Ban paid the bill and went straight to Yizhou in the north.

Since he came back from Xijin Mansion, a notice was posted outside, and there was no news for several days, and Yelupo couldn't help but feel anxious. He was lonely and didn't get promoted quickly. In Yizhou, the term is completed, and because the people are retained, another term will be retained. Because of this incident, it attracted the attention of the important ministers of the DPRK and the central government. He did not agree to attack the Song Dynasty this year, but he has always been loyal and cautious, and if the imperial court has set an attack, he will try his best to do it well.

As soon as I arrived at the official hall on this day, an official came to report. said that a big man came from outside the yamen, and he held a notice in his hand to provide the military information of the Song army, and he didn't speak, just stood there. The officials did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly came to report.

Jerepo was overjoyed when he heard this. There is no need to ask, this big man must know the military situation of the Song army and came to receive the reward, so he was busy inviting him to the Yanei.

Wu Ban lowered Fan Yangli on his head, followed the officials into the yamen, and went directly to the official hall.

After entering the official hall, the officials saluted and said, "Zhizhou, this big man took a notice outside the yamen and didn't say anything about it. In accordance with the instructions of Zhizhou, he was specially summoned to the government to see Zhizhou. ”

Yelupo saw that this big man was tall and very powerful, and nine times out of ten he was a person in the Song army in the south, and he was a little settled in his heart. said: "You man is holding a notice, thinking that there is a military situation to sue me." Rest assured, Benshu has no regrets, as long as what you say is useful, it will definitely be a lot of your money. ”

Wu Ban looked around and saw several officials standing there, shook his head slightly, and did not speak.

Yelupo knew that he was disgusted, and said, "Tan Absi stays, and the others go outside to listen to the order!" ”

When the officials went out, Jereopo said, "This Tan Absi is a person I trust, and if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Wu Ban then raised the notice in his hand and said, "Zhizhou, I don't know if what this notice says is true?" Also, if you want to know the military situation of the Song army, I don't know how? Don't let me say it, Zhizhou said it was not enough, and the reward was not distributed. ”

Yelupo said: "Although a thousand yuan is not a decimal number, it is nothing to this state. As long as you name the number of Song troops, how many cities there are, how many soldiers and horses are stationed in each city, and where these cities are, a thousand yuan will be yours! ”

Wu Ban was overjoyed when he heard this, and arched his hand and said, "This is very good! Don't hide it from Zhizhou, the little one was originally a junior colonel in the Song army, and there were many soldiers under him. Others don't know about these news, and if they spread it to someone else, they know it. ”

Yelupo was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered Tan Absi to get a pen and paper and sit down on the side. Let Wu Ban say, Tan Zhu Siji.

Wu Ban has a good memory, and he didn't hesitate anymore, and said: "The Song army is on Hebei Road, and there are 250,000 forbidden troops who have been trained, each with a station. Zhendingfu is Dou Shunqing, Dingzhou is Liu Jianji, Baozhou is Jingtai, and Xiongzhou is Zhang Qi's army. The marshal was Liu Ji, who led 50,000 people to be stationed in Hejian Mansion. ”

Tan Zhusi used the pen like flying, and wrote them down one by one. Poor Khitan only knew that the Song army had increased its troops by more than 200,000 troops on Hebei Road, and how to divide it, but it was not very clear. Here, the Khitan people know about the training of the Song army, but they are confused about how to organize and command after the training. They always thought that Beijing was the commander of Hebei Road, but they didn't expect it to be replaced by Liu Ji.

Yelupo's information is that the Song army on Hebei Road originally had nearly 300,000 forbidden troops, and more than 200,000 reinforcements have come in the past year, and he does not know how these troops are commanded. In fact, in the eyes of the Khitan people, they only know the training of the Song army, but they do not know the content of the training.

Waiting for Tan Abssi to memorize them one by one, Wu Ban said again: "Now the Song army is mainly fighting with the trained army, supplemented by the rest of the forbidden army. The five armies mentioned above have 50,000 people in each army, and the number is basically the same. Liu Ji commanded in Hejian Province in a unified manner, and each army guarded its own place. ”

Yelupo said: "Liu Ji himself commands an army, and he is a marshal, how did he command?" ”

Wu Ban said: "Zhizhou, Taiwei Liu is only the commander of Hebei Road, and in case of war, most of the armies are fighting separately. The commander is not the top boss of the other four armies, but only coordinates in the middle. ”

"I see!" Yelupo nodded repeatedly. "Tan Abshi, you have to remember all of this clearly! Don't miss a beat! ”

Tan Abssi said no, and Yelupo asked Wu Ban again: "Today, in the summer and autumn, the Song army has built many cities in the south, and the walls are clear, and all the people have moved to the city. How were these cities built? How many soldiers and horses are stationed in a city? Where are they? ”

Wu Bandao: "This year, a railway has been repaired to Xiongzhou, and it has been repaired all the way to Hejian Mansion. After the railroad was repaired, the government paid for the recruitment of people and built many cities. Each city is guarded by the main road, and often several cities are gathered together, and they can be seen before each other. A city garrisoned between 1,000 and 3,000 people, each with a general to help each other. The rest of the remaining army was stationed near the state capital. ”

Wu Ban is only a small colonel, and he is not clear about the specific arrangement of the Song army. After the Song army was stationed in the city, it was actually divided into regions, and each area had a commander. Generally, less important places are taken at the regimental level, and important places are taken at the division level. At the regimental level, a battalion of troops generally guards a city. At the division level, one regiment defends one city. Some regiments are directly under the army, while others are under the management of divisions, depending on their respective geographical locations.

Wu Ban was used to it, thinking that the generals of each city were independent and directly under the commanders. The Khitan knew nothing and was convinced of what Wu Ban said. It's no wonder that Yelupo, the current command structure of the Song army is very different from the previous habits, and the Khitans can't imagine it.

Waiting for Tan Abssi to write them down one by one, Wu Ban said how many cities were built in each state, and what location they were about, and said them one by one. This is what he saw with the commander by chance, and he didn't think it was important at the time, but he was born with a good memory, and he roughly wrote it down.

As he listened, he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart. In the past, I only knew how much the Song army built the city, and I didn't know how many troops were stationed there. Now that we have this information, the army is coming, and we have a target.
