Chapter 970: Building momentum due to circumstances
Zi Yue went quickly, and the dark three got Gan Ning's order naturally not to have any hindrance to him, but when he returned to the room, he saw the second general looking at him by the window with his hands behind his back and did not disturb him, so he stood in the shadows behind him and waited, at this time the hut was quiet, only the cold river wind continued to blow in from the window, making the fire candle on the table flicker and jump out of the light and dark! At this time, if you close your eyes in the room, it will be difficult to feel Ziyue's existence, and it will be difficult to hear his breathing in the silence, this is the characteristic of people in Tian'er, they must always pay attention to hide themselves and must not become the focus of attention of others, which has been integrated into Ziyue's blood.
"How is the combat strength of the Yangzhou army under Liu Bei? In addition to Guan, Zhang, and Huang, are there any generals worth paying attention to? "The air on the river is fresh and cold, others may not be able to appreciate the taste, but every time Xingba returns to the river, it is extremely comfortable, if he successfully completes the eldest brother's explanation and Pang Junshi's strategy this time, he will be cruising here for a long time! In the night, Gan Ning's eyes have been looking at the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, if someone observes carefully, they will find that there is a trace of sadness in Jinfan's eyes at this time, why let the heroic Xingba be like this.
It has been more than 20 years, and it has been 24 years and 37 days since the day of the little sister Shen Jiang, this number Gan Ning remembers very clearly, and it is also the deepest hidden pain in his heart. From Jianghaizhuang to Youzhou, from the Jinfan water thief to the general of Pingdong of the Han Dynasty Xuzhou Assassin History, Gan Ning has never given up the investigation of the whereabouts of his little sister, although he saw his seven-year-old sister sink into the river with his own eyes that day, and the situation at that time can be described as lifeless, but there has always been an almost stubborn voice in his heart to support him never give up his efforts, and this belief has become Gan Ning's greatest wish.
There are not many people who know Xingba's sourness, Liu Yi, Zhao Yun, and Wang Xinran are just three people, their attitude towards this matter is very consistent, no matter whether Xingba's little sister is still alive or not, as long as the body is not seen for a day, even if it has sunk deep into the bottom of the river, they will not use this to persuade Gan Ning to give up, a man like Jinfan is absolutely clear which is more important, and in Liu Yi's opinion, what if the second brother insists here, there must always be deep concerns in this life.
Every time he returns to the river, the figure wearing a small flower jacket and combing two pigtails will always linger in front of Gan Ning's eyes, even when he is thinking about the battle situation wholeheartedly, he can vaguely see it, in fact, the reason why he is like this is because the little sister must still be alive in his intuition, and the accuracy of his intuition does not seem to be below his brother! Hearing Zi Yue enter the door, Xingba quickly pressed down the thoughts and sorrows in his chest, and his eyes regained their composure, and asked lightly.
The situation of the three heroes in the south, especially the situation of the troops, has always been the focus of Tian'er's investigation, and it will be re-reported every other day, generally speaking, this period is three months, and when it comes to wartime, Liu Yun's requirement is to report it once a month, and Tian'er has a set of extremely strict management and confidentiality measures, if there is a violation, their internal discipline is also very cruel. Ziyue, White Axe and others have all had the experience of dealing with traitors with their own hands. And after Pang Tong set the strategy of taking the initiative, the investigation of the Yangzhou military situation was immediately raised to the top level, so the information about the Yangzhou army in Gan Ning's hand was the latest update of Tian'er a month ago, but everything needs to be careful when it comes to wartime, and the text is definitely not as detailed and detailed as Zi Yue's personal account!
"Back to the second general, this Liu Xuande since Yangzhou has Zhuge Liang successively Kuai Yue and a cadre of talents to assist, the strength of the expansion is very fast, the local gentry are also very supportive, Lujiang all the way to the army is afraid of no less than 100,000, of which Guan Yu led Danyang elite soldiers 30,000 is the strongest army in the Xuzhou army that year, private view of its combat power is not under Xu Huang's general Long Xiang army, Zhang Yide under the command of Feiyan cavalry more than 20,000 people, is also a well-trained soldier elite, in addition to Liu Bei's Bai'er personal soldiers, and after the pacification of Shanyue, Yangzhou and a new army called "Wudang Fei Army", occasionally composed of more than the mountain Yue strong, its folk customs are fierce and brave still above the Han army, at present temporarily by the former Jingzhou general Huang Zhongwen hired to lead, Guan Zhang Huang Wen four people are proficient in battle formation, there is a way to command the army, can be similar to our army Xu Zhang and other generals, in addition to the army Guan Ping, Chen to other rising stars can not be taken lightly, plus Zhuge Lu Xun and others must be our army's fierce enemy! "These military information Ziyue have already reported to King Yan and Xuzhou, but when Gan Ning asked, he repeated it again in great detail, although he did not serve in the army, he was also skilled in the battle array, so Gan Ning valued his words very much.
"An army of 100,000...... According to what you said, the naval army led by Xu Sheng and Zhang Yun in Yangzhou is also around 30,000? But Liu Xuande has always regarded his eldest brother as a strong enemy, and this Yangtze River waterway is crucial to him, and it seems that this water army is a little weaker. "Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are all famous generals in the world, Huang Zhongwen is a general in Jingzhou, even if it is a difference between the two of them at most than before, Zi Yue will be compared with Xu Huang Zhang He Gan Ning is very recognized, before the war can not have half a point of contempt for the enemy, the army is still second, the navy is the top priority this time, he is difficult to believe in the Yangzhou navy, this is not that he does not believe in Ziyue's intelligence, but the result of Gan Ning Pang Tong and others in Xuzhou discussion.
"At present, there is no definite information to prove it, but the second general's feeling will not be bad, at present, Yangzhou Tian'er is still stepping up his efforts to find out the truth of the other party, as soon as there is something new, it will be reported to the second general immediately, and the boss will also have news at any time." The intelligence Ziyue who he found out was of course very confident, but the intelligence officers of the two sides had already fought many times before the war broke out in Yangzhou, and the other party also attached great importance to this place, and Ziyue had extremely rich experience as a basis, he knew that when the battle was about to start, the feelings of these generals were often quite accurate, and Gan Ning was not purely based on his feelings.
Tian'er is mainly managed by Guo Jia and Liu Yun, among which Fengxiao is in charge of the overall situation, Liu Yun is more pragmatic, in the construction of Tian'er Yan Wang also provides a lot of effective ideas, for example, the single-line contact this trick makes Guo and Liu both extremely appreciated, in addition to the secret law, as early as the battle of Jizhou, Tian'er has placed a lot of spies in the two armies of Sun and Liu, their identity is extremely secret, there are two code names called Dark Sun and Dark Moon have achieved a very high rank in the two armies, And the information they provided can only be obtained by Liu Yun, and Ziyue doesn't know who it is! As for Cao Cao's place, the effect of this method is not obvious than the previous one, because Cao Cao's army is relatively stable, and the changes in the past two years are not too huge, and it is not easy to make a difference here.
"Liu Yun! Well, I think he will never disappoint King Yan, Ziyue, you continue to do everything you need to do, especially for me to monitor the movements of the Jingnan Navy and the newly emerged combat power of the Yangzhou Navy Army, Gan Mou came to Dajiang again on the order of his brother this time, this battle is the key, and the enemy army wants to hide it, so he will not let him hide it...... "All the generals of the Yan Army, including Gan Ning, will have this feeling, and the burden on the battlefield under King Yan will be much easier, Whenever there is detailed information in hand before the battle, they will be able to make targeted arrangements and tactical choices, and these information are often extremely accurate, and there will be few errors and omissions, and all of this is almost all thanks to Liu Yun, who everyone in Tian'er is called the boss or the second treasurer.
After listening to Ziyue's words, Gan Ning already had an idea in his heart, and now he doesn't know whether Sun Ce and Zhou Yu will lead the navy to join this battle, the strength of the Yangzhou navy is not as simple as it seems, he can't sit back and wait for the news of Liu Yun or Ziyue to come before deciding his own actions, it is extremely important to grasp the opportunity in the battle array, in addition to the investigation of the intelligence department, he can also find out the clues through the active attack on the Yangzhou navy, judging from the current situation alone, the strength in the hands of Xu Sheng and Zhang Yun cannot compete with him, Then it is necessary to force out all the hidden strength by taking the initiative, so Gan Ning believes that he will be able to build the Flying Tiger Army.
Generally speaking, the warring defenders on the water side are more advantageous than the land battle, provided that they have a strong water village, as long as the difference in strength between the two sides is not particularly huge, no one will use the warship formation to attack the opponent's camp, such an attack is not only extremely difficult and the loss is quite heavy, and the other party can also get land support at any time, and after your combat power is consumed, you can quickly make a counterattack blow, if there is no Huang Gai's bitter meat trick to deceive the southeast wind to help the fire, Zhou Yu will not dare to attack so strongly, This is almost a principle of naval warfare in the late Han Dynasty!
But now Gan Ning's hands have enough strength to completely subvert this principle that everyone thinks is correct, and the biggest reliance is the outstanding long-range power of the "Aolong" ship among the warships, just like the attack under Leping City, Gao Shun can beat Lejin, but General Le is powerless to fight back, this is a huge advantage! Gan Ning can give the opponent's water village a huge threat through the Xiangyang cannon on the "Aolong" ship, even if the other party can't stand it and wants to attack, he will be afraid of the other warships of the Flying Tiger Army, and if it is properly controlled, it can also form a situation where the Yan Army and the Liaodong Army will attack Leping with the cooperation of the Suzaku Battalion, the only difference is that Xingba does not have as many resources as the Vermilion Bird Battalion, of course, it is only for testing but it is enough.
"I almost forgot, this is for you, Gan and his wife went to see it before your kid came, and Ping'er is generally extremely cute, everything in your family is arranged by Liu Yun, and Gan will also take care of it, rest assured!" Time flies extremely fast when people are engrossed, and Gan Ning keeps thinking about the strategy that the Flying Tiger Army will adopt in his mind, and half an hour passes unconsciously, and in this, Ziyue doesn't even change his standing posture at all! He knew in his heart that the second general must be analyzing the battle situation in front of him in his heart, and he should be at his disposal at any time.
When Xingba woke up a little from his contemplation, he couldn't help but smile dumbly when he saw Ziyue's appearance, and immediately walked to the wooden cabinet on the windowsill and took out a black wooden box and a seemingly inconspicuous dagger and handed them to Ziyue Wen Yan. People in Tian'er are also people, and they will also have wives and children's families, Ziyue's wife and children in front of him are in Xiapi, of course, compared to the general soldiers, the identities of their family members are secret, but Gan Ning will know more about this authority, Ziyue's children are the same age as Gan Ping, and his mother is also an orphan taken in by Liu Yun in Tian'er, it is necessary to know that women often have more advantages than men when they inquire about intelligence, and they are no exception at the end of the Han Dynasty, but at this time, Ziyue's wife is no longer in the army.
"Divide the water? Thanks to the second general, there is a boss and a general in Ziyue who will not worry about his family, but he has not seen him for a long time and is really worried in his heart, so he hopes that King Yan can achieve a great cause as soon as possible and unify the rivers and mountains of the Han Dynasty! Second general, this water dagger is ashamed to lead, these are inconvenient to take! Zi Yue took the wooden box and felt that it was extremely heavy, thinking that it was a gold and silver artifact and a lot of it, but the most attractive thing for him was the dagger, a little bit of it was pulled out of a dazzling cold light has flashed, its aura is so cold, this thing was specially cast by Xu Gang for Liu Yi back then, using the six forging steel that he painstakingly studied, when it can be described as blowing hair and breaking hair, people who are martial arts all like it, but such a sharp weapon is hard to find It is not an exaggeration, and only a general of Gan Ning's status can get one.
Put the water treasure on his waist, Zi Yue pushed the wooden box back, the requirements for funds for intelligence work are extremely huge, there are special channels for this Tian'er to provide, and there will be a lot of rewards when the task is usually completed, but as a person in Tian'er, this is the only way for them to obtain money, other business or income obtained through any means must be reported, concealment is also one of the felonies, Liu Yun has many ways to find out.
"Okay, you also know a little bit about your rules, so you will report it truthfully and say that it was a gift from Gan, I don't believe that Liu Yun will let you hand it over? Put it away, your brothers have worked hard. Gan Ning waved his hand slightly, but his tone was undoubted, you must know that his identity is different from that of ordinary generals, he is the core commander of the Yan army, so he has a certain authority in terms of intelligence, and the second general is talking about these trivial things Liu Yun has never dared to violate Gan Ning's face, as for where does this money come from? If the second general lacks anything in his family, there will be no shortage of gold and silver, not to mention Liu Yi's generous rewards, as long as the poison king thinks, what gold and jade will roll in!
