Chapter 38 The world is turbulent, Jinling City Longtan Tiger's Den (6)

(1st Update)

In Chuzhou City, which is only more than 100 miles away from Jinling City, Li Congjing was reading the fifth line newspaper, which recorded Shi Xubai and Han Xizai's main opinions on the battle of Jianghuai. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

He has read this report many times, and he still can't help but be shocked when he reads it, the cleverness of Yang's strategy often lies in the fact that you know its strategy, but you can't deal with it, Shi Xubai and Han Xizai are not people who play with conspiracy, and the battle on the battlefield is also dignified, and the strategy of these two people makes Li Congjing feel numb in his scalp.

"Since Shi Xubai and Han Xizai are used at this time, it can be seen that their plans for Jianghuai are quite Xu Zhihe's heart, although Xu Zhihe's Jianghuai strategy may not be as the two said, but the general strategy must be adopted, which is a must-guard."

It was Wang Pu who spoke, since Mo Li went to Chuzhou and went back to Shouchun, Wang Pu replaced the original role of Mo Li to a certain extent, "Guarding Yangzhou to aid Shouchun, one by one, it is impossible to prevent it, if you sit back and watch the strength of Huainan, Jianghuai is in danger!" ”

Guarding Yangzhou to aid Shouchun, this is Shi Xubai and Han Xizai's Jianghuai strategy of using troops.

The elite soldiers transferred from Chu went south along the river, landed in Dengzhou and Luzhou, and then went north to smash Shouzhou, relieve the siege of Shouchun, defeat the Tang Dynasty Zhenzhen army, and cut off the back road of the Tang army.

The Jinling garrison and the newly recruited brave crossed the Yangtze River to aid Yangzhou and defend it, enriching the Yangzhou garrison and preventing the Tang army from capturing Yangzhou.

With a two-pronged approach, the Tang army had no way to advance or retreat, and it became a turtle in the Jianghuai urn.

The brilliance of this strategy is far more than it seems.

The purpose of attacking the feudal army of the four towns and eight states with the Chu dijing army was to attack Ruo with a strong attack, and there was a Shouchun garrison for the internal and external cooperation, and it was easy to succeed.

Although the guards are elite, if Yangzhou has sufficient troops, it will be difficult to capture it in the short term.

This plan has the taste of Tian Ji horse racing.

Once the Wu army wins Shouchun, not only will the Tang army become a turtle in the urn, but the states and counties of Jianghuai can also take advantage of the situation to do something, and at that time, the Tang army will have no way to advance or retreat, not to mention that the army's heart is bound to be in chaos, that is, the army's heart is not in chaos, and it will also fall into the Jianghuai This big net can not extricate itself, and will eventually be swallowed up by the Wu army little by little.

Attack Shouchun, Yi Ye, defend Yangzhou, Yi Ye, and once the two are successful, the overall situation of Jianghuai has been decided.

This plan seems to have omitted the hundred battle army of Chuzhou, but in fact, its cleverness is fully revealed here, if the hundred war army rescues Shouchun, it has to give up Chuzhou, and if it gives up Chuzhou, Haozhou is difficult to defend, so the Tang army has no way to retreat, if the hundred battle army does not rescue Shouchun, it will completely fall into the trap of Wu - if the Tang army retreats north from Haozhou and Chuzhou, then the Wu army can be attacked from Shouchun and Chuzhou east and west, and then supplemented by the northward pursuit army, it is not difficult to win a few battles, and then you can take the opportunity to pursue the Tang army into the Tang realm, and take Xuzhou directly.

In the blink of an eye, the defense turned into the attack.

Xuzhou, it opened the door to march into Qilu, Shi Xubai, Han Xizai's so-called "north out of Jianghuai, capture Xuzhou to attack Qilu, several roads and into the Central Plains" plan can be realized!

This kind of strategy can be called a miracle, how can Li Congjing not be frightened?

"To solve the current situation, you must first understand the current situation, Shi Xubai and Han Xizai's strategy is clever, but whether Xu Zhihe has adopted all of them, whether he has made changes, or what additions have been made, and how the whole strategy is specifically implemented, all need to be found out one by one, so that the army can effectively deal with it." Li Congjing groaned, although Shi Xubai and Han Xizai's strategies were extremely powerful, but they did not make him helpless, "Send elite scouts to the Luzhou area to investigate the movements of the thief army, in addition, closely monitor several important crossings in Dajiang, and report it as soon as you find the thief army." ”

These countermeasures are in order, but they are better than nothing, and they cannot do anything to solve the current situation, and things at the strategic level naturally need to be dealt with strategically, Li Congjing continued: "The fifth order is to find out the strategy of Huainan's use of troops. ”

Thinking of the fifth girl who was running around in Jinling, Wang Pu was a little worried in his heart, Wu Guo left little time for Li Congjing to react and leave for the army to move, if the fifth girl could not find out the truth in time, and let Wu Jun complete the layout first, even if the news came back, it would be useless.

Looking at the south, Wang Pu's heart was solemn. The reason why Shi Xubai and Han Xizai dared to suggest that the Wu army go straight to Shouchun to cut off the back road of the Tang army was not that Yangzhou was strong and easy to defend, but that the Tang army could not cross the river and go straight to Jinling. The shortcomings of the water division have been serious to the point of extremely delaying.

.....

There are a lot of people in the fifth girl's group, there are twenty or thirty people, most of them are the people who are here themselves, so the house they can accommodate is not small, and the standard three-entry courtyard, if it is not for the fact that the number of people is too much to attract attention, the force that can be mobilized in Jinling City is far more than that.

After everyone gathered here, the fifth was thinking about a way to get out, how long could Ge Sanniang hold the Tsing Yi Yamen in the Splendid Pavilion, the fifth did not have an accurate estimate, and furthermore, Ge Sanniang dragged the Tsing Yi Yamen, if Jinling City never opened the city gate, then what should it do? Even if Jinling City had to open the gates, how would they get out if each gate was guarded by many people?

"Jinling locked the city, Xu Zhihe dispatched a soldier to patrol the streets and alleys, and sent a sergeant to each fang to give orders, requiring the fang area to be searched overnight." Soon, someone reported the latest situation to the fifth girl, "The Splendid Pavilion is surrounded by water, but it seems that Ge Sanniang has not been arrested yet, so from this point of view, Xu Zhihe intends not to let go of every military intelligence office in Jinling City, not just for the Splendid Pavilion." ”

What I'm afraid of is this, which means that even if Ge Sanniang admits that she took Xu Jingtong's information, Su Hongsleeve is not in the Splendid Pavilion, even if Ge Sanniang finds someone to pretend to be the fifth girl, and makes a false appearance that all those who know are still in the Splendid Pavilion and cannot escape, the Tsing Yi Yamen will not stop the search for the Military Intelligence Department.

Su Hongsleeve had already woken up, sitting in the corner in a daze, without any look in his eyes.

Song Jiao whispered to the fifth: "If we want to get out, we have to let the Tsing Yi Yamen think that they have controlled all the insiders, it is not difficult for Ge Sanniang to find someone to replace us, after all, the eyeliner of the Tsing Yi Yamen has been cleaned up by us, and Xu Zhihe only knows that there is a living face to the Splendid Pavilion, I don't know that it is the leader who is in person, and it is Su Hongsleeve who is difficult...... Humble and courageous, he dared to ask the commander to 'send' Su Hongsleeve to the Tsing Yi Yamen. ”

Fifth shook his head, "It's not difficult to 'send' Su Hongsleeve to the Tsing Yi Yamen, but what if she confesses to you and me after being arrested?" ”

Song Jiao's eyes flashed with a fierce color, "What's so difficult about this, let her be speechless." Naturally, she meant to take Su Hongsleeve's life.

The fifth glanced at Song Jiao and did not agree to her request, this is not the fifth indecisive, so the credit of Ge Sanniang and Su Hongsleeve is only part of the reason, she thinks that even if she does this, it will not be useful, how important is Wu Guo's strategy of using troops in Jiangbei, and now it has been stolen by the Military Intelligence Department, no one in the Tsing Yi Yamen is sure to what extent this news has spread, how could Xu Zhihe only arrest the people of Jinxiu Pavilion, he will definitely attack all the military intelligence offices of Jinling City. Only by not letting a military intelligence unit get away can we ensure that the news does not leak out.

Before the evacuation from the Splendid Pavilion, the fifth girl had not used the flying pigeon to pass the book, but this method was always unstable and safe, which was also the reason why the flying pigeon pass the book could not be popular in the past dynasties.

"Gotta get out of town." The fifth girl glanced out the window.

......

Splendid Pavilion.

Ge Sanniang, who was seriously injured, was dragged out of the Splendid Pavilion and thrown on the ground, and the Tsing Yi Yamen and the Jiashi stared at this weak woman indifferently. Xu Zhihe did not come to the Splendid Pavilion in person, standing in front of Ge Sanniang were Zhou Zong and Shi Xubai, the former did not show the slightest emotion, and the latter was indescribable.

One after another, people from the Splendid Pavilion were dragged out, and soon there were many more people beside Ge Sanniang who were also seriously injured, geisha, small servants, and nursing homes, whether these people were MIA or not, they all suffered the same treatment at this time, some of them were still bleeding, and some were crying and howling, full of fear.

After Zhou Zong arrived, he did not entangle with Ge Sanniang, and began to clear the scene after surrounding the Splendid Pavilion without delay, and then he couldn't help but arrest everyone in the Splendid Pavilion, and did not give Ge Sanniang a chance to play, and those who resisted slightly were seriously injured.

There were many onlookers, but they were all isolated on the periphery, and Zhou Zong said coldly, "Who came to Jinling?" Tao Yaoyao, the fifth girl, Zhao Xiangyao, Li Rong, Wu Changjian? Did one or several? ”

Ge Sanniang straightened her long hair that was scattered, she was born as a geisha and was a beauty-loving character, such an embarrassed appearance was too miserable for her, showing a miserable but temperamental smile, Ge Sanniang said: "To deal with your group of local chickens and dogs, why use the big boss to come forward with the commanders, the old body is enough!" ”

"Bastard!" Zhou Zong kicked Ge Sanniang over, and the gentle and elegant bookish air on weekdays was completely dispersed by the cold air, "What kind of thing are you, you dare to be so ashamed!" ”

Ge Sanniang spit out a few mouthfuls of blood on her stomach, and at the end, she still stubbornly showed a charming smile as usual, "When the king master sets foot in Jinling, you can tell the old body what you are, okay?" ”

When the angry Zhou Zong was about to step forward again, Shi Xubai frowned and spoke, "Sanniang, why are you suffering?" Now that the whereabouts of the military intelligence department have been detected, the city has been sealed, your people are doomed to not escape, the victory and defeat have been divided, what is the use of stubborn resistance? Good life confession, so as not to suffer from the flesh and skin, tell us where the red sleeves are, we will not embarrass you, as long as the red sleeves cooperate in the future, we will not embarrass her, this can be assured to you. ”

Ge Sanniang looked at Shi Xubai with a smile, there was no hatred in her eyes, but she seemed to have a little appreciation and a little pity, this weak woman seemed to be a little sentimental, "Mr. is talented and half-life, it is really the only thing that the old man has seen in his life, in Jinling, a place where he is drunk and golden, Mr. is really like a breeze, which makes people's hearts break, but it's a pity...... "I don't know what she pity."

"What's the pity?" Shi Xubai asked, he didn't need to ask this, but now Zhou Zong because of "dereliction of duty", let the military intelligence department mix in Jinling to make trouble, but he didn't notice it in time, it was when he was angry, Ge Sanniang's words made Zhou Zong want to beat her into a cripple, Shi Xubai talked to Ge Sanniang at this time, but it meant to block arrows for Ge Sanniang, he is a romantic person, not bound by secular etiquette, although Ge Sanniang is a person from Qinglou, he has been getting along for two years but is not without affection.

However, Ge Sanniang's next words made Shi Xubai immediately regret taking this question, and only listened to Ge Sanniang say: "It's a pity that Mr. shouldn't have come to Jiangnan, and he lost the opportunity to conspire with His Royal Highness King Qin. ”

Shi Xubai was slightly stunned, Zhou Zong couldn't hold back any longer, stepped forward and slapped Ge Sanniang, and said hatefully: "Death is still talking nonsense, come here, bring it back for trial!" ”

Zhou Zong left the Splendid Pavilion with a dark face and ordered: "Dig three feet into the ground tonight, and I have to find out all the people in the military intelligence department, I would rather kill by mistake than let it go, the Jinling military intelligence department will not die, and the Jinling city gate will not be opened!" ”

......

The three holes of the cunning rabbit, the military intelligence department understands this truth, and the fifth girl is even more so.

In extraordinary times, it is necessary to use extraordinary means to get out of the city, nothing more than relying on manpower in the middle of heaven and earth, and the military intelligence department is more useful in Jinling City to make friends with the magnates, even if the city gate is closed in ordinary times, it is not impossible to get out of the city, but at this time to find those magnates is tantamount to throwing themselves into the net, and the fifth is not so stupid.

Kangfufang is in the Qinhuai River, the Qinhuai River is in the south of the city, it stands to reason that you can dive out of the city from the water, but the waterway also has a water gate, and you can't go at all when you are well guarded, but fortunately, the place where everyone is settled now is not far from the city wall, so you can dig a tunnel out of the city.

There are two difficulties in digging tunnels, one is that the project is huge, and it is not easy for one or twenty people to dig out a tunnel, and the other is easy to expose, it is impossible to dig tunnels without movement, it is better to have a big war cover in wartime, but it is difficult in ordinary times, and once earthworms run to the ground in groups, it is easier to arouse suspicion.

Therefore, the site selection and construction of the excavation tunnel are all technical work.

However, the Military Intelligence Department and the Tsing Yi Yamen have been fighting for many years, and it has long been an ordinary fight, and each side has various means. The courtyard where the fifth-class people settled is naturally not an ordinary place for the Military Intelligence Department, of course, it is necessary to take into account the advance and retreat guarantees, but Rao is so, for various reasons, although the tunnel is being dug but has not yet been dug through.

After the fifth person arrives here, let all the people who can use it go down to the tunnel and dig the passage.

"Originally, the tunnel led to a manor of ours outside the city, but it was impossible to dig up the manor in a hurry tonight, at most it could be out of the city. The city walls are heavily guarded, and there is a risk of being discovered when the tunnels are dug. "The presiding officer of this matter said to the fifth way.

There was not the slightest hesitation on the fifth's petite and delicate face, "Dig!" ”

Before the tunnel was dug through, a sentry came to report, "The armor and the fangding are almost here." ”

Tonight, Xu Zhihe made a big move, and sent a lot of soldiers, and the Tsing Yi Yamen was pouring out, and the investigation of each fang was very strict, it was definitely not a matter of knocking on the door to ask and leaving, they would enter the houses to search one by one, although the excavated tunnel was in the middle of the wall, there was a certain degree of concealment, but the soil dug out of the tunnel did not have time to be well handled, which was difficult to guarantee that it would not be discovered, and the fifth of these people had a different temperament than ordinary people, Fang Ding could not see it, but the Tsing Yi Yamen was easy to identify, In a situation where it is better to kill by mistake than to let go, it is really difficult for the fifth class to be considerate.

As expected, the people who entered the house to search were composed of a soldier, a Tsing Yi Yamen, a servant and a fangding, and it is very likely that there are also Tsing Yi Yamen chess pieces who are responsible for monitoring the workshop on weekdays.

The wall was first discovered.

Many large families have this thing, and anyone who understands the structure of the house can easily find the way.

The fifth-class people who were hiding in the wall heard the sound of "knocking on the door" and slowly drew their blades.

Almost at the same time, the earth that had been dug into the tunnels was also discovered.

"Alert!" The face of the Tsing Yi Yamen who came to investigate changed greatly, and he drew his blade and shouted.

The owner of the mansion who accompanied him broke out in a cold sweat, and he reached into his sleeve and held the dagger.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the house, and then a Tsing Yi Yamen hurriedly came in and shouted, "There are thieves who have killed people and fled for the road!" ”

The faces of the people in the house changed greatly, and the leader immediately jumped out of the door, "Go and chase!" ”

Most of the investigators left in an instant, but there were still a few people left in the house, continuing to investigate the house in front of them, and one person said: "Open the wall!" ”

The wall was opened, and those people walked into the wall, and they were immediately killed by the military intelligence department that rushed in front of them, without making much movement.

Fifth, with a calm face, he commanded everyone to carry those corpses into the wall, "It won't take long, go to the tunnel and urge them to hurry up!" ”

The people who killed people and seized the road were naturally to cover the core members of the fifth, but the Tsing Yi Yamen was well-trained, so they did not chase all of them out because of this, but left people to continue the investigation, so they could only kill these people. The murderous and road-grabbing military intelligence department will not drag on for long, and the Tsing Yi Yamen, who has disappeared after investigation, will soon be discovered.

"It's open!"

"Let's go!"

Fifth, without hesitation, lead people into the tunnel.

As mentioned earlier, the tunnels are indeed only worthy of the city walls.

The fifth-class people came out of the tunnel one by one, and stood against the corner of the wall one by one, and when everyone came out, they carefully moved towards the place where there was a shadow of the woods.

"Go to the manor first, and then you can go with a horse."

Ge Sanniang insisted on staying in the Splendid Pavilion to attract the Tsing Yi Yamen, because she knew that the tunnel had not been dug through, and it was very unsafe to escape through the tunnel, so she wanted to drag it until the city gate was opened at dawn, but Xu Zhihe and Zhou Zong did not have a good relationship with her, so they did not give her this opportunity, and the fifth class had to take risks.

As a result of this risky move, the crowd was discovered by the defenders on the city wall before they could enter the woods.

Hearing the shouting sound from the city wall behind them, the fifth class did not hesitate and immediately ran towards the woods.

Not long after, the gates of the city were wide open, and a group of cavalry chased them out.
