Volume 3 Urgent Good News
Yao Shao rode around the school yard on horseback, and was very satisfied to see that the officers and soldiers of the Yulin Cavalry practiced very hard, and they were not discouraged by the defeat of Tongguan.
It's just that the newly recruited soldiers and cavalry are much weaker in archery, standing on the ground and shooting fixed targets, it is rare to hit two or three shots in ten, let alone shoot at a moving target on the back of a galloping horse.
This is also a matter of no choice, the country's capital is Chang'an for only two generations, and the saddle muscles on the thighs of the Qiang people have turned into fat softly. Thinking of the current emperor's delicate Xiaokai, and then thinking about the former Emperor Wen Emperor Yao Xing who did not eat for two days and two nights to pursue the enemy, Emperor Wu Zhao Yao Chang established the country in bloody blood, and Yao Xiang, who is known as Xiao Sun Ce, sacrificed his life in the dispute between the heroes, and couldn't help but feel gloomy:
The Qiang people have fought with the Han people for hundreds of years, and finally have a country with rivers and mountains and fertile land, but it has only been passed down for two generations, and there is already a strong pressure on the outside, and a strong force on the inside. If he was defeated by a horse from further north, he would have been able to serve his strengths of galloping horses. But if it is defeated by the Han people from the south, I will be sorry for the heroes of the descendants of Dayu.
When the officers leading the drill saw Yao Shao passing by, they immediately issued an order, and all of them saluted the general.
Yao Shao looked at the off-target arrows that fell at the foot of the target, jumped off his horse, took the bow and arrow in the hand of a soldier, took out 10 arrows and stuck them in the ground, and ordered the target to be moved from 100 steps to 200 steps, and then 10 rapid fires.
The 10 arrows are concentric, densely tied to the bull's-eye position.
After the target soldier reported the target, a thunder of veterans and rookies rolled up on the school field.
Yao Shao was interested, put on a quiver, turned over on his horse, and fired 10 rounds in a round-trip gallop.
It's still brothers.
The thunder simply can't stop.
Yao Shaogang wanted to say something to these recruits, and at a glance he caught a glimpse of a partial general hurrying over.
If it weren't for the urgent battle report, they would definitely wait for Yao Shao to go back at the general's line, and they wouldn't have chased here.
Sure enough, the general was anxious and excited:
"General, there is good news, it is very urgent!"
This logic is a bit bizarre, urgent news is often not good news.
With a simple statement, Yao Shao's eyes widened. That's right! That's good news, but it's also very urgent.
When the horse returned to the line, the horse jumped down before he could stand firm, and almost threw himself into the council chamber.
A man dressed in the clothes of ordinary people sits on a bed with a big beard. Seeing Yao Shao coming in, this person hurriedly got up and saluted, but as soon as he stood up, he stumbled.
Yao Shao already knew that his foot was very bad, and hurriedly helped him sit down.
"You said that the grain and grass of the Jin army will pass through the area of Chenwang Village the day after tomorrow?"
"Yes, I heard it from a senior official of the Jin Army with my own ears."
Yao Shao frowned:
"How big is it?"
"I don't know, there aren't many people with him, only about three hundred, but I heard someone call him a general."
Whether it is a Qiang, Han or Xianbei, the title of general is not all valuable. There is a chasm between the generals who really lead the troops, such as the leading generals, the general of the chariot cavalry, and those miscellaneous generals such as Long Xiang, Huguo, Yu Min, Long Fei, Xiao Cai, and Light Che, that is, whether there is real power to lead the troops, or whether there is anyone who really wants to see them. The emperor liked the words of Wang Xizhi of the Jin Dynasty to death, but the person who danced with the brush instead of the sword all day long actually held the title of general of the right army.
The person the spies encountered, in a dangerous battlefield where they could be ambushed at any time, actually had more than 300 people around him, and he must not be Wang Zhenxi, Shen Linzi, and Tan Daoji. But to be called a general, it will never be an ordinary official, and the news heard from him should be very valuable.
But what if it's deliberately released fake news? What if the spies are seen through? What if the other party is setting up a trap?
"Tell me in detail about the situation, and don't leak anything."
Tanma said let's sit down and eat dry food.
The general's cake fell to the ground and was covered with dirt.
But he was reluctant to throw it away, so he blew it and ate it, not letting go of any slag.
Hu Biscuits were also given to me two, and the old grain was not fresh at all.
"Did they bring dried meat except for the Hu Cake?"
"No, they only have bread."
"Does everyone bring their own Hu cakes, or does someone keep them for them?"
"Someone gave it to everyone."
The Jin army is short of food, and this Yao Shao knows very well that it is not normal for the labor division to attack far away, and there is no shortage of food. It's just that he didn't expect that there was a shortage of Cheng dรน who needed a limited supply. After the grain depot official in Tongguan fled to Anding, he was sent to Chang'an by Yao Shao to receive a heavy reward. Yao Shao is also planning to cut off the Jin army's grain route, if the information on Tanma is true, then he can make an ambush in a targeted manner, not only to destroy the Jin army's grain, but also to slaughter the grain guards, so that they will have intestinal cramps at the mention of sending food.
But be cautious. Tongguan has fallen, the people of Chang'an are panicking, the Jin people are coming east, Rouran is going south, Daqin is stormy, and can no longer afford to fail, even if it is a tactical failure.
It must be foolproof, one misstep will become a thousand years of hatred, hatred will not pass away in the east, and the west will only have the color of the remnant sun.
"How did you get out?"
The spies said I was pretending to take them to see Deng Gongtai.
I was riding on the same horse with a Jin soldier, and when I got on the horse, I stabbed it in the ass with the sharp wooden thorn hidden in my hand, and when it was startled, I fell down and deliberately twisted my ankle bone.
They wanted to take me to the camp for healing, and I was afraid of losing time, so I said that my family would be worried.
They wanted to take me home, and I said I was afraid that if they left, the government would retaliate against me.
They finally gave me a short lance and told me to use it as a crutch.
After breaking away from them, I signaled and connected with my teammates.
That's it, not a single detail is missed.
Yao Shao listened carefully, and his brows gradually relaxed. This soldier is very quick and wise, and he is born to be a dry spy. His wounds were impeccablely manufactured. The reasons he said, Jin Jun should not be able to hear the flaws. Besides, even if they feel that it is inappropriate afterwards, it is difficult to verify it; I don't have enough time to change my plans.
The most reassuring thing is the short lance. An officer of the Jin army would never hand over a murderous weapon to a suspicious person who was a stone's throw away, otherwise it would be a very undignified death for a general to be assassinated by a nobody.
Since the spies did not reveal their identities, and it was so natural for the Southern Dynasty general to tell the grain information, the arrival of Luoyang grain in Chenwang Village two days later was an excellent fighter.
The spies knew how to bring the army through the valley unknown to the southerners.
The Jin army's grain cart could only advance with a long snake, and the ambush soldiers had to shoot the pack horse that led the carriage first, block the way, and cut off the retreat in the same way. Bring more oil and forage, and burn them together with the cart and grain.
Since the officer said that he would take the spies back to the barracks to heal his wounds, there must be a new camp of the Jin army nearby. When the ambush soldiers attacked the food convoy, this large battalion would definitely send people to the rescue. The Qin army was to set up a second ambush circle on their way to destroy the lair after destroying the reinforcements.
Yao Shao ordered a heavy reward for the spies, allowing him to take a vacation for half a month and go to Chang'an Flower World to squander his glorious bounty at will.
Now is the time to act.
Time is running out.
