Chapter 713

The road to Yanzhou Prefecture was a little rough, and just as they approached one of the valleys, they suddenly found that at the entrance of the originally narrow valley, there was a Song army general, playing with the horse whip in his hand, standing peacefully at the entrance of the valley.

And this general of the Song Army is the same general of the Song Army who had just escorted them away. "I didn't expect that Ben had just sent you fifty miles away from Yanzhou, and you would come back so soon, don't tell me you're lost......"

Xiao Qingyuan, who was the leader, took a deep breath and secretly made a scattered gesture to his companion behind him, and he rode his horse forward slowly, and his big hand was already in the hilt of the knife at his waist. "It's really a coincidence, we are indeed lost, but we didn't expect to meet General Wu and you here."

"Since you are lost, then follow me back to Yanzhou. Brethren! Commander Wu suddenly shouted, and the members of the mission who had already quietly dispersed were shocked to find out.

I don't know when, their back road has been blocked by dozens of cavalry Song troops, and dozens of cavalry have also appeared behind Wu Tongzhi.

Looking at the towering mountain walls on both sides, Xiao Qingyuan gently unsheathed the half-unsheathed saber in despair, revealing a very helpless expression. "Xiao knows that General Wu won't believe it, but this is really a thing, most of us are people from a foreign land, and we traveled far away at night and took the wrong path, what's so strange about this?"

"It's really nothing unusual, let's go, go back with Ben, if you don't want to die, be honest with me." Wu Tong smiled gloomily, turned over and jumped on horseback, escorting the members of the "lost" envoy group towards Yanzhou City.

"How's it going, did you ask what the result was?" Wang Yang smashed his mouth, threw down the official document in his hand, and raised his head.

"No, these guys are very tight-mouthed, if it weren't for the fact that you had told me not to be executed, the generals would have wanted to let the brothers do it several times......," Wu replied respectfully, standing in front of Wang Yang.

"It's okay, continue to detain, so let's divide your people into twelve groups, and interrogate these people individually.

There's no need to beat, there's no need to scold, just don't let them have time to rest. Wang Yang's expression was very calm and authentic. If they doze off or can't wake up, pour cold water on them until they come to their senses, and then continue the interrogation. ”

"My lord, is that okay?" Listening to Wang Yang's very calm tone, it made Wu Tongzhi feel a chill in his heart, although this method did not cause any harm to the other party's body, but the thought of being surrounded by several people for twelve hours every day kept chattering.

If you doze off, you will be woken up by someone splashing cold water, and you feel uncomfortable thinking about it.

"Why, if you don't want to do it, then let someone who is willing to do it come." Wang Yang looked at him and rolled his eyes, and said a little impatiently.

"Don't worry, my lord, the last general will definitely do it safely." Wu Tong's heart froze, he didn't dare to say more, and left the hall quickly after receiving the order.

"If you have to worry about the big fart, you have to worry about it, those guys, can't you just kill it?" Ling Zong couldn't help but whisper.

"Since they are here with a mission, it means that they should know something, since it has fallen into our hands, how can they use such a wasteful way as slaughtering things?" Wang Yang sighed, Ling Zong's brain, that is, the life of the pioneer officer in the romance book.

On the contrary, it is Wu Qilang's goods, which look stunned and horizontal on the surface, but in fact, this girl has a lot of ghost eyes, which is typical and bad.

"Whether it is the purpose of their trip, or their identity, as well as the bits and pieces they know about Western Xia and Northern Liao, they are all extremely useful information for my Great Song Dynasty, if they are killed so easily, wouldn't it be too wasteful?" Wang Yang rubbed his eyebrows and said with an unhappy expression.

Having said that, the Great Song Dynasty was really low-level and outrageously backward in terms of mastering the enemy's intelligence, and even in terms of secrecy and security, it was extremely crude.

Especially here in Yanzhou, the tens of thousands of Western Xia citizens in Yanzhou are like tens of thousands of spies to the Great Song Dynasty, who has just occupied this place.

No matter how strict it is, this is a city after all, and there will always be a lot of loopholes. In addition, both soldiers and officials still lack a sense of confidentiality, so it is easy to be found out a lot of news by people with intentions.

The only place that can make Wang Yang feel a little at ease is the military camp, where idlers are not allowed to approach, which naturally isolates most of the eyes, which is why Wang Yang stuffed the components of the Yuanyou stone throwing machine and the craftsmen who knew part of the process into the military camp.

And now that Wang Yang has become the pacification envoy of the three states, naturally what he has to consider is not only the civil affairs of the three states, but also the military strategic arrangements of the three states.

This is in Wang Yang's heart, and it is the best frontier position for the Great Song Dynasty to attack Western Xia, pacify Western Xia, and reopen the Western Regions in the future.

Therefore, in his heart, the military strategic layout will be more important. Because, the Great Song Dynasty really needs the land of horse grazing in Western Xia, and only when the Great Song Dynasty can take this homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties, can it compete with those nomads on horseback for the capital.

Only after taking the Western Xia, the Great Song Dynasty in the future, can the Northern Liao be able to encircle the south and west, so that the Northern Liao has to move the center of gravity of defense to the north and west, and now the Northern Liao, which is getting weaker and weaker, will inevitably have many loopholes if the defense surface is increased.

At that time, the goal of the Great Song Dynasty to regain the sixteen states of Youyan will no longer be a dream.

There is a very important problem in the military strategic arrangement is the acquisition of intelligence and the use of espionage, which Wang Yang did not consider in the past, but at that time he was just a civilian official of the Ordnance Superintendent.

No matter how much he jumps, no one will think that he will really have a talent in military strategy, and doing things will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, and it will be thankless.

But now, not only the entire Great Song Dynasty, but also the Western Xia and Northern Liao, are already very familiar with the name of Wang Yang and Wang Wushan.

After all, in several battles between the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia, Wang Yang was not an army commander like Su Shushu or Han Xianggong. But his advice and suggestions have accumulated miraculous achievements.

Even those important ministers of the old party in the court who were brushed into hatred by Wang Yang's prestige had no way to jump out and erase Wang Yang's exploits.

After becoming the pacification envoy of the three states, Wang Yang had great autonomy in civil affairs and military affairs, coupled with the previous correspondence with Zhao Xu, the son of heaven, Wang Yang repeatedly mentioned the importance of intelligence work and spy work.
