Volume 2 The Yellow Turban Falls Chapter 74 Intelligence Warfare
After three days of repairs in Shanyin City, in fact, the main work was for Xu Yang to discuss the follow-up dispatch of troops with the Scarlet Rose and other trade unions. Now Xu Yang is a very authoritative figure among the players in the imperial court camp, and Huiji County has also been liberated by the imperial court camp, so everyone hopes to be able to follow Xu Yang to eat and drink spicy food, even if it is to drink some soup in the back, it is definitely better than fighting alone outside.
After three days of trimming and the plan was agreed, Xu Yang finally felt the majesty of commanding a million troops! That's right, this time the problem of the yellow turbans in Huiji County was solved, plus the more than 300,000 yellow turbans that Xu Yang had collected in Shanyin City, except for the soldiers sent back by Xu Yang to Mingyue City to transport the prisoners, there was also a full army of 300,000.
In addition to these, the forces of the players in the imperial court camp in Huiji County expressed their willingness to follow Xu Yang to aid Yangzhou Zhishu Shouchun, after three days of statistics, there were more than 800,000 troops who followed Xu Yang to help this time, so Xu Yang suddenly became the commander of more than one million troops, so that he himself had an unreal feeling!
The army set off on the morning of the fourth day, but unfortunately the capital did not send personnel to accompany it, as for the reason, of course, their leader King Yama was still in a coma, and even the whole person in the real world was affected, so the people were worried about their boss, and the manpower was already insufficient, so the capital was not in the army. Of course, Xu Yang understands this matter very well.
The route of the army this time was to take Danyang County, and the team chose a road with more detours to cross from Danyang County. This route will pass through more areas where the Yellow Turban forces are flooded, but this is also the main purpose of Xu Yang, which is to eliminate the Yellow Turban forces as much as possible. After passing through Danyang County, this army will join forces with the general Zhu Jun in Shouchun to attack Shouchun, the stronghold of Yangzhou Zhizhi City, which has been occupied by the Yellow Turbans.
Shouchun is a famous city in history, and it has been strengthened many times in the game, so Xu Yang also knew that this important city could not be defeated in a few days, so he simply put the marching route a little longer. In this way, he can also earn more points, and when the Yellow Turban Uprising is over, he may be able to exchange more benefits. Of course, Xu Yang and the other players have another thought, which is also one of the reasons why they chose to take a detour in Danyang County - Danyang Elite Soldiers!
The elite soldiers of Danyang in the history of the Three Kingdoms were brave and good at fighting, and were good at fighting on various battlefields. Historically, Yuan Shu once evaluated Danyang as "famous for the elite soldiers in this place". Sun Ce lost his base because of his father's death, and once recruited 500 Danyang soldiers to defect to his uncle Wu Jing, and later, Wu State's Danyang Taishou Shen Ying fought against Jin, only led more than 500 Danyang soldiers, tied with a green scarf on his head, and only held a giant hammer. Charged to the positions of the Jin army several times and broke through the strong defense of the Jin army. The courage of the Danyang soldiers is terrifying.
It can be said that Danyang is a place where elite soldiers are produced, and if such a place is not used well, it will really be a tyrannical thing. Xu Yang felt that this Danyang elite soldier was definitely a special class of troops at least advanced, if he could get such a one, then he would fill in another special combat power for himself!
The mighty army of millions of people is slowly moving forward in this vast game world, this time Xu Yang did not choose to march at night, but swaggered on the official road during the day. As long as there are decent Yellow Turban forces within a radius of fifty miles, then there will be people in this army who will volunteer to destroy them, and it can be said that this imperial army has been like locusts crossing the border along the way, causing a lot of damage to the Yellow Turban forces!
It's just that Xu Yang and the others know that these yellow scarves that are still wandering around Danyang County are just some stragglers. The real Yellow Turban elite or the main force of the Yellow Turban have all shrunk to the Shouchun area, and here are just some stragglers with big yellow turban tails, and the combat effectiveness of these people is even lower and pitiful, and Xu Yang has no special hobby for eliminating these guys.
On the way to Danyang County, Xu Yang received several flying pigeon letters, the content of which was similar, and the person who wrote the letter was Zhu Jun, the general of Zhonglang. Zhu Jun wrote for no other reason, just urging Xu Yang to go to Shouchun quickly, where the main resistance of the Yellow Turban was extremely fierce.
Zhu Jun has recruited two million soldiers with the support of the imperial court and local heroes, not counting the swarming players of the imperial court camp, but even so, the yellow scarves in Shouchun still kill from time to time to deal a great blow to the imperial court camp, this is the purpose of Zhu Jun writing a letter to him to speed up the march - he alone is a little unable to figure out this Shouchun, of course, this is just the appearance of the current appearance!
"The military order outside the country will not be subject to it!" Looking at the seventh letter in his hand, Xu Yang could only smile helplessly, shook his head lightly and threw it aside.
It's not that he doesn't want to rush over now, but his million soldiers, except for his own sword guards and the more than 40,000 eighth-order yellow turban wrecks who surrendered, can still be used, and the other sixth- and seventh-order soldiers used to be cannon fodder! That's right, Shouchun's battle has been so tragic that all the soldiers below the eighth order are cannon fodder, even the eighth-order soldiers are killed and injured in tens of thousands every day, it can be said that the entire Shouchun is now a huge war meat grinder, and whoever goes has to become minced meat.
Xu Yang knew that he had a few taels of meat, and maybe the oil and water on his body had not been fried out and turned into meat foam. And now Xu Yang has a more important matter, that is, to find soldiers in Danyang and find a way to form a Danyang elite army.
"My lord, isn't it a little inappropriate for us to ignore the orders of General Zhonglang like this...... Wouldn't it be better if you flew to Shouchun first to show your face, and indicate that our army was still in trouble on the road, so as not to cause a misunderstanding between you and General Zhonglang? As for this, the lord can temporarily leave it to the ......," said a middle-aged man in a black robe with his face completely hidden.
At this moment, the Chinese military who can stand in Xu Yang's account are all absolute henchmen, after all, except for Han Mengxing, there is only this tightly blocked middle-aged man, and a young general who also covers himself in a black robe, and there is no one else.
Regarding this middle-aged man's suggestion, Xu Yang just smiled faintly and said: "I have a fateful friendship with Lord Zhu Jun on the battlefield, and he urged me to march quickly many times, probably just to tell me to be more careful, not really let me go into the army." After all, judging from the comparison of General Zhu Jun's talent and strength, there will be no major events on Shouchun's side for a while and a half, and General Zhu Jun can also see this. As for urging me to march, he actually wanted to tell me something else in the letter......"
"Other information? That's ......," asked the young general who was also covering himself.
However, as soon as this question was asked, he was given a stern look by the middle-aged man, which was full of lessons.
"Okay, it's okay if no outsiders tell you!" Xu Yang took out the letterhead that Zhu Jun had given him a few times, displayed it on the table, and said, "In these seven letters, General Zhu Jun all mentioned that the places where Shouchun's imperial court camp had heavy grain and grass, and where the ordnance was garrisoned, were often attacked by the Yellow Turban elite suddenly out of the city. Just imagine, General Zhu Jun is a fierce general on the battlefield, how can there be such negligence in such simple prevention work? And even if the enemy succeeds in one attack, it will not succeed again and again, after all, after one attack, these important materials can be transferred! ”
"If we can think of these methods, then General Zhu Jun must also be able to think of them. Now that the place of grain, grass, baggage, ordnance and other materials has been transferred, and it has been repeatedly attacked by the Yellow Turbans out of the city, and even a few times it is a very premeditated feint and fire attack, it is obvious that the enemy is fully aware of the arrangement of our army! So, that's the problem......" Saying this, Xu Yang's eyes swept over the three people present and stopped talking.
The middle-aged man was thinking about something with a deep face, and after a while, he said, "General Zhu Jun wants to tell us that there are yellow turban works in their imperial army in Shouchun?" ”
That's right! This is the only explanation, if there is no one to ventilate the insurance, how can such important arming information as grain, grass and baggage be known so clearly by the yellow scarf. And every sneak attack seems to have gone through many rehearsals, which is simply opening God's perspective to do things!
"Well, it's not uncommon for two armies to fight each other and break into each other's camp. Judging from the current situation, the Yellow Turban side that broke into General Zhu Jun's side should not be an ordinary soldier, but a person with a higher position! Otherwise, so many sneak attacks would never have succeeded if there was no one to cooperate with the outside world, so Lord Zhu Jun pretended to ask us for help. It also tells us to be careful of the meticulous work among our troops! Xu Yang explained slowly.
This is the reason why Zhu Jun gave him so many urging orders, not really to let Xu Yang speed up the march to help Shouchun. As for why Xu Yang was able to explain it so perfectly? Is it really that he has the talent to go through the heavens and the earth, and the unpredictable opportunities of gods and ghosts? Of course not, because these letters Zhu Jun and Xu Yang had made code words as early as the battle of Bright Moon City, just like these words explained by Xu Yang now, they were actually code words that the two had discussed.
If Zhu Jun really ran into trouble and needed Xu Yang to speed up the march, then Xu Yang would receive a diametrically opposed letterhead, and the content would definitely not be so urging. Of course, only two of them know the secret, and the rest is all for outsiders to see. This is also why Xu Yang dared to directly ignore Zhu Jun's order and continue to march slowly, and the rest of the scene depends on how Zhu Jun sings!
After understanding what General Zhu Jun meant, the middle-aged man in the black robe frowned and asked, "Lord, is it possible that there are also yellow turbans in our team?" Can the lord ask us to increase patrols and vigorously check the identities of soldiers? ”
"Hehe, no!" Xu Yang smiled slightly and said, "The tighter you grasp this kind of thing, the deeper they hide, it's better to give them some space to let them breathe." The patrol soldiers every night try to choose the ones with low strength, those who like to be lazy, and I have my own arrangements for the rest! ”
"Yes!"
The three voices said in unison, and then the three of them withdrew from the camp.
After the three of them left, Xu Yang chose to sit down and practice internal strength. Now the army is marching during the day and stationed at night, and the military camp of one million people is naturally impossible for Xu Yang to be in charge of alone, and there are Scarlet Rose and Yuan and others who arrange the stationing of the player forces, and he just instructs a few of his subordinates to arrange patrol matters. In the quiet night, Xu Yang also entered the cultivation of internal strength.
It's just that in the entire army of millions, no one will notice that in a relatively remote player camp, there are several players plotting something in an inconspicuous camp!
Perhaps in order to make the camp tent look inconspicuous, five or six players did not light a fire in the camp, and deliberately chose such a camp to store weapons. The five people don't look like ordinary soldiers, because these people are all wearing the armor of a general, and there is even one who exudes the temperament of a stunt general, such a person can be regarded as a middle-level figure in the player force at this stage!
"What's the matter, let's talk about it today!" The man of the special military general was the first to ask.
The four people below have long been accustomed to this kind of thing, and the time of each contact is very short, the key is that these people do not add friends to each other in order to prevent their identities from being exposed, but use this kind of thing to meet in the dark to hide their identities and exchange information.
A weak girl's voice was the first to speak: "Today, Scarlet Rose borrowed a batch of siege materials from General Zhendong, and because the level of secrecy is very high, I still don't know what it is. However, looking at it, it should be a large siege equipment such as a bed crossbow, combined with yesterday's report, I am afraid that the battle in Moling County will be sung by the Scarlet Rose. This message should be valuable, right? ”
After the woman finished speaking, she quietly waited for a few people to answer, and first a player found a cheatbook, but the style should be relatively ordinary, so she handed it to the woman who had just spoken and said: "I'm not interested in the battle in Moling County, so let's take this as the cost of auditing!" ”
After glancing at the book handed over to her, the woman nodded with satisfaction. Although this special internal strength is relatively ordinary, there are still countless players who are stuck in the high-level generals and cannot be promoted at this stage, so this cheats still has a certain value, and it is naturally no opinion when it is an audit fee between the five people. This is also a way for five people to exchange information, one party first says the general content of the information, if the content is relatively secret, then the other four people must pay the appropriate audit fee before listening to the detailed content.
If you are really interested, you can study the information if you buy later. Of course, the audit fee can be all kinds of items, weapons and equipment, materials and even gold coins, and of course, the principle of information exchange is confidentiality and equivalence! Although the five of them all had some guesses about each other's identities, none of them broke it, because in this way, they could maintain their information channels and give them a relatively stable source of information.
"Is there any information from Moling County? I bought it, I don't know what you're going to get in exchange? The highest-ranking special general in the field spoke, and at the same time, he was the only one present who did not pay for the audit, because he didn't need to audit, what he needed was complete information.
Although the woman had just said that the specific siege equipment was unclear, everyone present understood that it was just a superficial article, and as long as you could afford the price, there would be no secrets in their business!
"Something? What I want is relatively simple, if you have a high-level soldier, you will be a high-level soldier, if you don't have it, you will get gold! As for the exact price, it depends on how detailed you want to know! The woman's voice said flatly.
For what the woman wanted, the four people present all showed expressions that were really like this, because almost all the information asked for by the woman in these few cooperation was these two things. High-level soldiers or gold coins, among which high-level soldiers are not sixth-order troops in the eyes of the player, but real eighth-order soldiers, after hearing the woman say this request once, almost everyone silently chose the second item!
There is no other reason, at this stage, even the Grand Guild only has a little bit of its own eighth-order soldiers, and they are all very precious. Even if it is a war, it is used on the blade for fear of a little negligence, where will it be used to exchange information? Although it is said that useful intelligence can save one's own troops, it does not allow the saved troops to be directly injured.
"Five hundred thousand gold coins. I need all the siege equipment of Scarlet Rose, including the number and situation of the ladders, as well as the distribution of troops they are going to attack Moling County, and who will command them! The special military general thought about it for a moment and then spoke.
Hiss!
Hearing 500,000 gold coins, these intelligence officers present also gasped. Even if everyone is engaged in intelligence, there will always be something valuable or gold coins if there is nothing to do, but this number is already very terrifying. You must know that not everyone is Xu Yang's big tyrant, and a robbery is tens of millions of gold coins. 500,000 gold coins, enough for two months of expenses for a medium-sized trade union, is still more luxurious.
But since I don't buy information, I don't say much. If people are willing to be wronged, what does it matter to them. What's more, the value of intelligence is really hard to say, after all, there are too many secrets involved!
Just as everyone was waiting for the woman's reply, a short man suddenly said: "I am suddenly interested in this news, I wonder if I can buy it with Your Excellency?" ”
"No problem!"
Although the information needs to be kept secret, the special military general does not mind that other people are teamed up to buy the news. In this way, everyone's eyes looked at the woman who spoke first, expecting the other party to return the price.
"There is no problem with 500,000 gold coins, if you want information, I can give it to you now!" Of course, as a rule, you also need to hand over the gold to me now, don't you? The woman said with a hint of excitement in her voice.
And so the deal was done in such harmony that no one noticed that there was an upside-down bat hanging on the roof of the tent and closing its eyes......
