Chapter 584: Intelligence Warfare

Su Tian is preparing to use the form of a protracted war, slowly consume the rogue, and finally achieve the goal of completely exterminating the rogue, and not only to eliminate the rogues physically, but also to destroy all the thoughts of the rogue, to achieve such a goal, it is difficult, but it is not too great, some favorable policies implemented by the rogues are absorbed or continued to be implemented.

But the newly discovered situation once again disrupted Su Tiancheng's deployment, he always felt that there may be some kind of unpredictable danger in Liaodong, this danger directly affects the plan to exterminate the Liukou, and may even affect the situation in Shaanxi and Shanxi. The Jiangning battalion was busy exterminating the Liukou in Sichuan and could not be rescued.

This has happened more than once.

Whenever the Ming army had the advantage and the Liukou encountered a catastrophe, the Houjin Tartars would enter the customs in time to harass them, resulting in the Ming army not being able to take care of the whole and the tail, or taking care of one or the other, and the good situation was often lost.

After the Golden Tartars entered the customs, they directly threatened the capital, and the emperor must have to keep the capital, and when the time comes, the Jiangning camp will bear the brunt, if they leave Sichuan, the Liukou will be able to get a respite, and it will be more difficult to go back and continue to exterminate.

In such a situation, it is necessary to foresee and think of a good way to deal with it.

Directly to the emperor, explaining that there may be such a situation, it is not convincing, there must be evidence, and the best way is to be able to detect the intelligence of Houjin. After a comprehensive analysis, a solution to this problem is proposed.

Su Tiancheng had a mature idea, that is, the Yulin battalion in Shaanxi, as well as the border army in Datong, to strengthen their vigilance at all costs. Prevent the Houjin Tartars from entering the customs, even if it is a big sacrifice, it is necessary to prevent the Houjin Tartars from entering Beizhili, of course, stationed in Shaanxi, there are 10,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers, if necessary, they can also be used to deal with the Houjin Tartars.

From now on, the imperial court strengthened the vigilance of the border gates. As for the Ningjin defense line, because of the strong city, Houjin will not attack it for the time being.

In view of this situation, Su Tiancheng is ready to conduct a large-scale intelligence war, and this intelligence war is aimed not only at the Liukou, but also at the Houjin Tartars, and even the Mongolian tribes.

Pull one to start the whole body. Don't underestimate the battle to exterminate the rogues, which involves all aspects.

"Old canal. This intelligence war is very important, and it is related to the victory or defeat of our extermination of the Liukou, and I will give you a month to allow you to use all effective methods to spy on the relevant information of the Liukou, Houjin, and the Mongolian tribes. You can focus on finding a way from the mutual market of Anning Fort and Jingbian, need gold and silver, and spend as much as possible, as long as you can get valuable information. ”

"My lord, Anning Fort and Jingbian. I got a lot of information, but during this time, the merchants who came to trade in Houjin suddenly increased, and the trading volume was very large, Song Sijun has said several times, Houjin needs a large number of arquebuses, Song Sijun has been controlling the quantity, but Lord Bi Maokang thinks that it can be done, Lord Bi believes that the arquebus is outdated, and it cannot be compared with the flintlock pistol, whether it is the range or accuracy, including the speed of firing, etc., the gap is very large, relatively speaking, the transaction of the Mongolian tribes seems to be a little calm. ”

"I've seen this information, it is precisely because of this information, so I'm starting to worry that Houjin may be going to act, Huang Taiji won't watch us exterminate the Liukou, if my Daming is internally stable, the next one will be to attack him, Houjin has a part of the arquebus, has flowed into the team of the Liukou, you pay attention to this line, see who is responsible for trading with the Liukou, if you can catch this person, you will definitely be able to get important information."

"Okay, my lord, I'll set off right away and go to Anning Fort and Jingbian, but General Qin, there are still some things that have not been done."

"General Qin's prestige has been established, you don't need to continue to follow, the matter of collecting intelligence is even more important, this matter will be entrusted to you, remember, it must be kept absolutely confidential."

"Yes, within a month, Xia Guan will definitely find useful information."

When Su Tiancheng and Qu Qingze were discussing, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai were also discussing, coincidentally, what they talked about was also collecting intelligence.

Li Zicheng was very annoyed that the battle to annihilate the white pole soldiers fell short, but the results achieved were very good, the white pole soldiers suffered a near-devastating blow, and the morale of the rebels was generally high, although they were still a little afraid of the Jiangning battalion.

Recently, Su Tiancheng's strategy has made Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai very annoyed.

The officials and guards of the whole Sichuan have been mobilized, there are army handles in all passes, and the righteous army is more than 100,000 people, basically trapped in the mountains, although for more than a year, there have been a lot of gold and silver treasures and grain, but it is impossible to maintain it for a long time, and the conditions in the mountains are very poor, and the common people do not have much food, so they must find a way to break out of the mountains.

The rebel scouts who pretended to be homeless were basically wiped out.

Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai still don't understand, how Su Tiancheng knew that there were scouts of the righteous army in the ranks of the Lu Dao refugees, could it be said that Su Tiancheng could be unpredictable.

Summing up, the two believed that Su Tiancheng's intelligence work was done well, and he must have mastered the situation.

The two of them also thought of spying on intelligence, and if they didn't know the situation outside the road, they were equivalent to half a blind man.

After discussing it for a long time, the bold plan in Li Zicheng's heart came out again.

"Brother Luo, I have always had an idea, if I can do it, all the problems will be solved."

"King Chuang has thought of something."

"Straight to Huanglong, didn't the prince come to Sichuan, if we can take advantage of his unpreparedness and kill the prince, or injure the prince, think about it, can Su Tiancheng bear it, is it still possible for Jiangning Ying to deal with us in Sichuan."

Luo Rucai looked at Li Zicheng and shook his head for a while.

"This idea is good, but it is almost impossible, when the prince comes to Sichuan, he must be heavily guarded around him, and not a single mosquito should think of flying in, let alone dealing with the prince."

"I can't bear the child and can't trap the wolf, if we make a large-scale action to attract the Jiangning battalion, or attract Su Tiancheng's attention, and make Su Tiancheng mobilize the Jiangning battalion and pursue us, at this time, won't the opportunity come out."

Luo Rucai thought for a moment and nodded.

"Well, this method is worth trying, but we must make a detailed plan and not have the slightest deviation, otherwise it will be difficult for us to gain a foothold in Sichuan."

"I've been thinking about it for a long time, hmph, there must be spies in our team, send our situation out, Su Tiancheng is so good at intelligence warfare, how can he be uneasy to meddle in people's hands, we just use these people to leak some confidential arrangements, and cause Su Tiancheng to be fooled, even if Su Tiancheng doesn't take the bait, it's not a big problem, let's make preparations with both hands."

"Oh, what did you plan, let's hear it." ……

This time, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai discussed secretly for two hours, and no one else knew what to say, including the large and small officers of the righteous army.

According to Su Tiancheng's request, Qu Qingze quickly set off, with two hundred scouts, via Henan Mansion, and rushed to Shaanxi.

Time was tight, they ate and slept in the open, and moved quickly.

Not long after Qu Qingze's action, the rogues in the mountains also began to move frequently, and the guards stationed in the pass even had some small-scale engagements.

A large amount of information began to be concentrated in Su Tiancheng's hands.

There is such a situation, Su Tiancheng is a little confused, could it be that Li Zicheng is ready to make a desperate bet, or that he can't stay in the mountains, but such a thing does not exist, Li Zicheng's food in his hand is sufficient, and there is a lot of gold and silver, even if the food is not enough, take out the silver, it can still be traded, the businessman values interests, as long as there is silver, he will definitely be willing to sell the grain, Su Tiancheng cannot prohibit such a transaction, not to mention that the Liukou has been in Sichuan for more than a year, Familiar with the situation here, even if they secretly traded with Shangjia, Su Tiancheng would not be able to know.

Qin Liangyu personally went to several passes to see the situation, and the fighting in some places was still fierce, it didn't seem to be a feint, and these passes, the location is also very special, they are all close to Hunan, Shaanxi, Duogandusi and other places, from the point of view of the location of the attack, it is easy to analyze, the Liukou is making a trial, the next step may be a large-scale retreat, it is very likely to leave Sichuan.

Qin Liangyu also directly found Su Tiancheng and expressed his worries.

However, when it comes to these situations, Qin Liangyu's emotions are calm, she has enough confidence in Su Tiancheng, and believes that Su Tiancheng will definitely be able to deal with these situations.

In fact, Su Tiancheng has not fully understood the movements of Liukou.

Most of the information sent by the dark line said that the Liukou might be retreating and leaving Sichuan, but Su Tiancheng didn't believe it.

Liukou did not suffer a loss, and he did not even have a large-scale head-to-head confrontation with the Jiangning battalion, and his strength was also very strong, so at such a time, it was too unlikely that he suddenly decided to leave Sichuan.

But all signs indicate that the Liukou is very likely to really leave, if this information is ignored, when the time comes, the Liukou really army will pull out and rush out of Sichuan with all their might, and the Weisho army will not be able to resist.

The Jiangning battalion must be prepared to deal with it. (To be continued......)
