Chapter 38: Who's Using Whom?

Ling Xia looked at the map in front of him, looking at the information marked on it, and frowned a little for a while.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong? Yi Haojie looked at Ling Xia's frowning and contemplative expression, a little puzzled.

"There are some errors in the standard information on this map, ------- shows that there are more than 20,000 bandits in Baihu Mountain, but as far as I know, there are at least 35,000 bandits in the Baihu Mountain Juyi Hall, and there are 2,000 cavalry alone."

Looking at Yi Haojie's stunned expression, Ling Xia groaned for a moment and asked, "My lord, where did you get this information?" With all due respect, I've found that our legion's recent intelligence leads are all a bit ------- well-------- inaccurate. ”

"Thirty-five thousand people, two cavalry thousand people, the power of White Tiger Mountain is so strong?" Muttering to himself, Yi Haojie remembered Ling Xia's words this time, hesitated for a moment, and told Ling Xia:

"With your current level, it is said that you will not be able to touch this piece yet, but with your qualifications, you will definitely be able to enter this circle in the future, so let me tell you, our information was bought from the "trading building" by the people of the General's Mansion.

The origin of the trading building is extremely mysterious, and no one knows who the owner behind it is? Each province has a trading building with a place of business, where all kinds of things are traded, such as healing medicines, weapons, antiques, exercises, slaves, bodyguards, and all kinds of intelligence secrets.

As long as you have enough gold, you can buy anything you want from the trading building, and in order to buy the enemy's intelligence and prevent your own information from leaking, many forces have purchased "private rooms" in various trading buildings.

The so-called private room is specially set up for some regular customers, as long as the owner spends or deposits a huge amount of money, after reaching a certain standard, he can have a private room in the trading building, which is divided into four levels: heaven, earth, Xuan and Huang.

Each private room has a key that symbolizes status, this key is universal, and no matter what province you are in, as long as there is a trading building, you can enjoy all the benefits of the private room.

It is said that the customers in the private room have a lot of special rights, but unfortunately my level is not enough, I don't know what those are, our legion spent the entire legion for a year's military salary, only to get a "yellow private room" in the trading building.

"What? The entire corps ------- a year's worth of military spending? Hearing this, Ling Xia gasped, a soldier's monthly salary is ten copper coins, which is one hundred and twenty copper coins a year.

There are more than 100,000 people in the entire legion, which is 12 million copper coins when counted, and 120,000 gold coins are converted into gold coins.

Looking at Ling Xia's disapproving expression, Yi Haojie paused, and then explained: "You may think that it is not worth spending such a big price, but in fact you are wrong, it is completely worth it, the fundamental purpose of the army's purchase of the private room is to prevent the leakage of its own military secrets."

We can spend money to buy the enemy's military information, and in the same way, the enemy can also spend gold coins to buy our secrets, take this crackdown on bandits, our people buy the information of the bandits from the trading building, and the bandits are also buying our information.

In order to ensure that our military secrets will not be leaked, whenever there is a military intelligence involved in the trading building, our people will take the lead in buying it, so that when the opponent comes forward to buy the intelligence, our intelligence has been taken off the shelves, and the other party can't buy it even if he has money. ”

"Anything else?" Ling Xia nodded in surprise, and then said with a little surprise: "My lord, it stands to reason that all the information involving the military should be very confidential, where did the trading building get the information?" ”

"This is the mystery of the trading building, no one knows what their channels are, only that they have everything you want there." Speaking of this, Yi Haojie pointed to the map and said: "I understand what you mean, in fact, it's not just you, the upper echelons are also suspicious."

There are some discrepancies in the information we have recently purchased, either there is a mistake in the intelligence of the trading building, or they sell fake information and suffer so many losses, we should also be more careful, it is because I can't trust that information, so I came to you.

Three days later, the division encircled and suppressed Baihu Mountain, but now there is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, and the information I got is that Baihu Mountain has 28,000 troops, but you said that there are 35,000 people there, which is 7,000 more.

After the recent recuperation of our division, plus the prisoners of war, all the combined strength is only more than 20,000 people, if we storm Baihu Mountain, we will definitely not be able to win, so I need you to help me make a plan that can win more with less. ”

"Since the elder Qianfu has ordered, then I won't hide it, I've been idle recently, and I've really studied the situation between the enemy and me." Speaking of this, Ling Xia paused, and then said, "I can help the adults make a plan, but I hope the adults will agree to one condition for me." ”

"On what terms?" Yi Haojie asked.

"Since the two sides are at war, then I have to grasp some battlefield data in real time, so I hope that the adults can allocate some manpower to me so that they can help me collect intelligence, and finally ask the adults to leave my previous subordinates to me." Ling Xia stated his purpose.

"Huya, come in." After listening to Ling Xia's request, Yi Haojie thought for a moment, and then shouted outside, and then, a young man in a power suit, twenty years old, with a cold expression and a longbow on his back, walked in.

"This is my personal guard, his name is Huya, although Huya is young, he is a sharpshooter, from now on, he belongs to you." After speaking, Yi Haojie said a few words to Huya, asking him to follow Ling Xia well in the future and obey Ling Xia's orders.

Hearing that Yi Haojie gave himself to Ling Xia, Huya was obviously a little surprised, and after being stunned, he hugged Ling Xia with an unwilling face, saying that he would obey Ling Xia's orders in the future, he showed a small tiger tooth when he spoke, it seems that this is the origin of his name.

Assigned Huya to Ling Xia, let Huya go outside to select ten smart and capable soldiers, and then asked Lao Cui and a few people from Nangong Yue's side, when everyone arrived, Yi Haojie looked at Ling Xia: "I have met your requirements, now it's your turn." ”

"Thank you, sir." After thanking Yi Haojie, Ling Xia took out a pre-written battle plan and handed it to Yi Haojie: "My lord, please see, this is the plan I made for Baihu Mountain, surround but not fight, and lead the snake out of the hole."

……

At the division and regiment war headquarters, Yi Haojie stood in front of a sand table, looking at the model of Baihu Mountain in the sand table, and was talking confidently, and there were several people standing around him, namely Fu Qingyun, the division commander, Yin Chengyi, the general's office, and the three commanders.

This is a high-level battle deployment meeting, and the participants are at least at the level of a captain, but at this time, Yi Haojie is impressively listed, which is enough to show that Fu Qingyun attaches great importance to Yi Haojie, and Yi Haojie also knows this, so he is particularly active.

At this moment, Yi Haojie pointed to the model of Baihu Mountain, corresponding to the geographical location on the map, and said: Baihu Mountain is dangerous, the mountains and forests are full of wild beasts, and if you want to go up or down the mountain, you can only pass through an artificially excavated mountain road.

This mountain road is the largest honor guard of Juyitang, the bandits occupy a favorable terrain, can resist several times the number of officers and soldiers, when the previous battle guards attacked the mountain, it was on this road to suffer losses, because it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the first few times the battle guards attacked the mountain are all gone.

The information I heard from the general's office was that there were more than 28,000 bandits and hundreds of war horses in Baihu Mountain, but this was not the case with the information I found, and according to my investigation, there were at least 35,000 bandits and 2,000 war horses entrenched on Baihu Mountain. ”

"Hiss......"

Hearing this data, Fu Qingyun and the others all gasped: "What? So many people? Fortunately, we didn't send troops, otherwise, the entire division would definitely be wiped out, and Haojie has made a great contribution. ”

After Fu Qingyun was shocked, he looked at Yin Chengyi of the General's Mansion with a gloomy face: "What's going on with your intelligence?" Why is the gap so big? Fortunately, Haojie found out clearly, otherwise, you would not be able to atone for your sins. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, I know my mistakes." Cheng Buyi was so bad that Fu Qingyun's expression was not good, and he wiped his forehead a little nervously: "This is all the information that Peng Lie bought from the trading building, this guy doesn't know what's going on?" There have always been mistakes recently, if it weren't for the fact that he was the Peng family, he would have been kicked out of the General's Mansion a long time ago. ”

After hearing the word "Peng family", everyone at the scene was silent, silent for a moment, Fu Qingyun waved his hand impatiently, signaling Cheng Buyi not to hold Peng Lie responsible, and then, he waved his hand at Yi Haojie and asked him to continue.

After receiving Fu Qingyun's instructions, Yi Haojie continued unhurriedly: "Considering the difference in strength between the enemy and us, we should not be in a hurry to suppress the bandits this time, my plan is to surround but not fight, and lure the snake out of the hole."

Let's send three thousand-strong teams around Baihu Mountain to surround those small roads up and down the mountain, and then send five thousand-strong teams to block the intersection of the main road of Baihu Mountain, and block the intersection in and out of Baihu Mountain.

Do you remember the woods in Shajiamen? It was originally one of the barriers at the foot of the White Tiger Mountain, and because it was only a few miles away from the White Tiger Mountain, it was used as an eyes and ears, and now, this place comes in handy.

Let's ambush a team of 10,000 people there, this is an ambush army, we must be prepared for a long-term ambush, there are so many bandits and war horses raised on Baihu Mountain, grain and grass will definitely not be supplied for a long time, our siege is equivalent to cutting off their food.

Those bandits are accustomed to eating big fish and meat, and they will certainly not be able to stand the hungry life, according to my judgment, the short is three days, the long is seven days, they will inevitably go down the mountain in search of food, at this time, we will have to see the opportunity to act.

If the number of bandits is less than 5,000, the officers and soldiers in charge of the siege of the mountain pass will solve it by themselves, and if the number of the other side is more than 5,000 and less than 10,000, the comrades in charge of the siege will support 10 million.

Remember, as long as the number of bandits coming down the mountain is less than 10,000, our ambush army is not allowed to be dispatched, we have miscalculated the number of bandits, and the bandits must have miscalculated our strength, we just want to give them an illusion.

Let the bandits on White Tiger Mountain guess our strength wrongly, at the beginning, they will definitely attack tentatively, and when they recognize that we are sparsely armed, they will make a big move, explain, lure those bandits into the woods, and give them a fatal blow. ”

"Good, good, good idea, a good surround but not fight, lure the snake out of the hole." After listening to the plan, Fu Qingyun praised happily, not only him, but several people around him also praised Yi Haojie, looking at everyone's appreciative eyes, the corners of Yi Haojie's mouth showed a trace of arc.
