Chapter Eighty-Three: Time Determined
readx;
Xiongzhou, Wu Ji stood facing north, looking at the heavy snow, his brows furrowed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Wang Shao strode over, stood beside Wu Ji, and accompanied Wu Ji to watch the snow. After a long time, Wang Shao said: "Brother Wu, I think my brother guessed that Yelu Hongji will probably wait until the first month of the next year to use troops. ”
"Reliable?" Wu Ji didn't look back and asked calmly.
"It's reliable." Wang Shao nodded lightly and said, "Yelu Hongji has not finished preparing yet, and if he wants to complete the preparations, he will go to the first month." This still has to go smoothly, and nothing unexpected happens, otherwise, it is impossible to complete the preparations in the first month. It is normal for such a big battle to take several months to prepare. ”
"The more fully prepared Yelu Hongji is, the more it shows that he will not die!" Wu Ji raised his eyebrows.
"Yes!" Wang Shao nodded heavily, agreeing with this statement: "The Khitan people have been killing my heart in China for more than a hundred years, and they are always thinking about entering the Central Plains and entering the Central Plains. If you use troops in the first month of the next year, although it will be icy and snowy, it will be beneficial to the Liao State, and Yelu Hongji will definitely not be wrong. Besides, the soldiers began to be used in the first month, and the more they fought, the warmer it became, which is a good thing. So, I don't think Jeluhongki will miss such an opportunity. ”
"Reasonable! Quite reasonable! Wang Shaoshen is a soldier, his analysis is convincing, and Wu Ji agrees very much.
"Brother Wu, we have guessed the approximate date of Yelu Hongji's use of troops, and the date of our use of troops can be determined." Wang Shao looked at Wu Ji, and a pair of tiger eyes shot out: "Brother Wu, when do you say it is appropriate to use soldiers?" ”
Wu Ji turned his head and looked at Wang Shao without speaking. After a while, he laughed: "Wang Shumi, haven't you already thought about it?" ”
"I have some ideas, what do you think, Brother Wu?" Wang Shao did not deny it.
"I said that we should choose the most unexpected date for Yelu Hongji, and this is really unexpected! He couldn't even think of it even if he wanted to break his head. Wu Ji is full of confidence.
Wang Shao's eyes shone brightly, like a sharp sword, ripping around Wu Ji's body, and suddenly, he looked up to the sky and laughed heartily: "Those who know me, Brother Wu!" Let's go into the house and say, let's sum it up. ”
The use of soldiers is confirmed, there are many things that need to be summed up, and it should indeed be discussed.
Back in the house, Wang Shao closed the door, led Wu Ji to sit down, and said, "Brother Wu, the main reason why I chose to do it here is that this is beyond Yelu Hongji's imagination. ”
"It seems that no one has used it throughout the ages, right? If he wants to get it, unless he is an immortal, he must also have the magical powers of an unknown prophet! Wu Ji nodded heavily, it was unlikely that anyone would have thought of the name they had chosen, although Yelu Hongji was very shrewd.
"Hmm!" Wang Shao nodded, and then analyzed: "In addition to this, there is also in the ice and snow, we have attacked on a large scale, which has not been done in hundreds of years of war. Although our last captivity, although it was a great harvest and disrupted Yeluhongki's plan, it was just a captive, and Yeluhongki did not think that I would attack in the ice and snow. ”
Fighting in the ice and snow, it is the director of the Liao army, not the director of the Song army, Yelu Hongji would never have imagined that Wang Shao was so bold that he dared to launch a large-scale attack on the Liao State in the ice and snow.
"With these two points, we can do it." Wang Shao is very confident.
"This is the time when the whole world celebrates, and the Khitan people have also attached great importance to this saying since they got the land of Yanyun, they must be celebrating, they must be cheering. Perhaps, Yelu Hongji is still dreaming of how to enter the Central Plains, but he can't imagine that our divine soldiers descended from the sky and suddenly appeared under the city of Zhuozhou. When he gets the news and understands it, Zhuozhou has already arrived in our hands. Wu Ji's eyebrows turned up, full of joy.
"Not only has Zhuozhou fallen into our hands, but the Liao army stationed in Zhuozhou will become our souls." Wang Shao was very happy and said: "For this southern expedition, Yelu Hongji has invested a lot of money to store a lot of grain and grass in Zhuozhou, if we get it, we can use it for a long time, and we don't need to transfer grain from the mainland." ”
The cost of transporting grain thousands of miles is very high. In addition, it is easy to attack the enemy, and once there is a problem, the army will be trapped in passivity or even collapse. There have been too many things in history to win by cutting off the enemy's food routes.
If you can get the grain and grass of the Liao army in Zhuozhou, this will be of infinite benefit to the Song army, Wu Ji couldn't help nodding and said, "No matter what, you must also get the grain and grass." ”
"Brother Wu, let's discuss the question of how to do it." Wang Shao raised his eyebrows, and his majesty appeared.
"Wang Shumi, the border is more than 1,000 miles away from Zhuozhou, and it will take four days, so we will set off five days in advance." Wu Ji pondered for a while, and began to put forward his idea: "Moreover, my 150,000 army is divided into two parts, with 50,000 forwards, and the main task is to take Zhuozhou, seize the grain and grass in Zhuozhou, and annihilate the Liao army in Zhuozhou. ”
"It's a good idea to go in two batches, two days apart." Wang Shao was very in favor of this proposal: "Brother Wu, this time, you went deep into the Liao Realm, you are familiar with the Liao Realm, and you will be in charge of this forward." I will lead the Chinese army, how about it? ”
Wu Ji has gone deep into the Liao Realm, is very familiar with the Liao Realm, far surpasses Wang Shao, and it is the best choice for Wu Ji to lead the vanguard army, and Wu Ji naturally has no objection.
And the strikers drew from the captive army. They have gone deep into the Liao Realm, they are experienced, and they are familiar with the Liao Realm, and it is best for them to fill the role. Wang Shao thought very carefully and did not let go of any detail.
"Also, during this time, we make a New Year's celebration to confuse Yeluhongji." Wu Ji came up with a plan.
"That's nature!" Wang Shao couldn't help nodding his head and loudly agreed with the proposal.
With a word from you and a word from me, the matter of this march has been planned. Start splitting the execution.
Of course, before that, he also wrote a military report to Song Shenzong. This is a game of chess in the whole country, so that Song Shenzong knows that it is necessary to arrange the war in Shaanzhou. In order to keep it secret, the ancient method is used, and three passes are passed on to one to. The so-called three transmissions and one arrival is to divide a military report into three parts, and only when the three points are collected can it be understood.
xxxxxx Wu Ji brought Zhang Tong over, and as soon as Zhang Tong saw Wu Ji's face, he asked, "Commander Wudu, what are you looking for me?" ”
"What else could happen." Wu Ji said with a smile: "I want you to take more trouble and find out the movements of the Liao Kingdom." ”
"It's our duty." Zhang Tong replied with a smile: "There is not much movement in Liao, it is estimated that the preparations will be completed in the first month, and it is likely that troops will be used at that time, so you must prepare early." ”
"I have consulted with the king, and we think so too." Wu Ji changed his words and said: "Wang Shumi and I have decided that we can't sit back and wait for the Liao army to attack, if there is a chance, we will plunder again before the Liao army marches, just like last time, and disrupt Yelu Hongji's plan." ”
"And plunder? Are you addicted? "Zhang Ke is a little funny, the last time he plundered was very rich, and their Qiyun Society also got a lot of light.
"Why not do it when you have the chance?" Wu Ji asked rhetorically.
"That's right! If you don't have a chance, that's stupid! Zhang Tong very much agreed with this statement: "Commander Wudu, don't worry, our Qiyun Society will do our best to find out the movements of the Liao army." ”
"You'd better start looking now, we could march at any time." Wu Ji came to the map and said: "You have to focus on checking here, here, here, and here." "Keep your finger on the map and point to the place.
The place Wu Ji pointed out was the place where the Song army was going to pass through. In order to keep it secret, he specially pointed out some places, which are true and false, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
This operation is highly confidential. Only Wu Ji, Wang Shao, Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi knew, and the rest didn't know about it.
"Good! I'll arrange it! Zhang Tong knew that the military situation was urgent, so he took his leave.
After arranging this matter, Wu Ji brought Zhou Wei over again. As soon as Zhou Wei saw Wu Ji, he smiled and said, "Brother Wu, what are you looking for me?" Are you going to do something to Liaogou? Brother Wu, we can't sit back and wait, even if we go to the Liao Realm to plunder once, it's good. ”
"You're still thinking about plundering?" Wu Ji asked casually.
"That's it! Is that! Plunder is more enjoyable! When it came to the abduction, Zhou Wei was smiling with stars in his eyes.
"General Zhou, you're really right. I have consulted with the king, and we cannot sit idly by. Before the Liao army moves, go to plunder once. Wu Ji looked at Zhou Wei and said: "You know, if you want to plunder, you have to be familiar with the situation and be able to keep it secret." Therefore, it needs to be done by one person. ”
"Brother Wu, you don't want to send me to do it, do you? No problem, you just give the order! Zhou Wei knew that it would not be easy to plunder again, and it was necessary to find out the situation in advance.
The last time it was plundered, it was because the Liao State did not take precautions and took advantage of the loopholes for the Song army. If we plunder again, there will be no such hole to exploit, and more careful planning will be required.
"I'm asking you to come out!" Wu Ji nodded, pointed to the map, and said, "Here and here, you have to investigate carefully, the army is likely to pass through here." ”
"No problem!" Zhou Wei took the order happily.
"Remember, don't startle the snake. Before we act, we must not alarm the Liao State. Wu Ji advised: "Of course, you must ensure that when we act, we must quickly clear these obstacles and ensure that they will not be discovered by the Liao State." ”
Zhou Wei didn't speak, just nodded heavily, then said goodbye and walked away quickly.
Not long after Zhou Wei left, Wang Shao came in again: "Zhou Wei went?" ”
"Go!" Wu Ji nodded and said, "I originally wanted to send him to take the lead." However, if we think about it carefully, before we act, it is necessary to send an army deep into the Liao border to clear these obstacles, and this matter must be done by General Zhou. ”
"Yes!" Wang Shao thought so.
"How's going on with you?" Wu Ji asked.
"It went well!" Wang Shao smiled and said, "My military order is to buy more New Year's goods, and we have to have a good time this year." Bring the brothers together and have fun. When the time comes, I will give the order and I will be ready to go. ”
"It may be obtrusive to them, but for the sake of secrecy, it has to be!" Wu Ji couldn't help nodding.
