Chapter 798: People are in a dilemma when they go to the empty building
With the warriors of the Black Sky Tribe as a guide, Yang Jing quickly led the team to the earlier camp, but unfortunately the building had already been empty, and Zhang Changling and the people from the Shenhuo camp were nowhere to be found.
Yang Jing walked around the camp, touched the pit where the pot was buried, and touched the pit left by the camp fence, and fell into thought.
Although he was instructed by his master Wang Daoming to release the Qi field to perceive the surrounding environment, it was only a vague way to distinguish the position, and he could not perceive more subtle and intuitive things.
To put it mildly, this Qi field is just to improve his instinctive intuition, and he can't be observed with the naked eye, which is really a very painful thing for Yang Jing.
Fortunately, Li Yu is also an old spy, and he told Yang Jing about the surrounding environment and the information he searched, Wang Daoming is also an old Jianghu, and it is easy to determine that it has been a while since Zhang Changling and others led their troops to leave.
This also made Yang Jing feel very bad, because with Jia Yidao's style of acting, he would definitely take advantage of Yang Jing's absence to implement the order to withdraw the army as soon as possible, but I was afraid that Zhang Changling and others had already evacuated!
"Li Yu, go and see which direction they are evacuating. ”
Yang Jing was vaguely uneasy in his heart, he believed that Zhang Changling was a person who knew how to persevere, otherwise he would not have defeated all the brothers in the first battle of Luoyang, but he still refused to retreat, he would rather choose to fight to the death than compromise, and he was not willing to look at the victory in hand, so he flew away.
Sure enough, Li Yu went out to check it out, and soon came back to report.
"Master Hou, judging from the footprints they left, they did not return north, but continued to the south."
"Continue south?" Yang Jing felt an indescribable relief, but he was also full of worry.
If there was no change, Jia Rudao did not seize power, Zhang Changling and Li Linan led the Shenhuo Battalion and the Zhuang barbarians to continue to attack Chang'an Mansion, which was definitely a very wise decision.
But now that Jia Rudao has taken advantage of the situation and seized control of the Song army, even if Yang Jing is not dead, he will definitely spread and exaggerate the rumors of Yang Jing's suffering, so that he can justifiably take over the military power.
Jia Rudao took over the military power, and the first thing to consider was to negotiate peace, so that Zhang Changling lost his backup, and even disobeyed the military order, the Great Song Dynasty could completely ignore this team, so Zhang Changling and Li Lin'an were facing great danger!
Seeing that Yang Jing was stunned, Li Yu was also a little anxious, after all, the Shenhuo Battalion and the Zhuang barbarians led by Zhang Changling were already Yang Jing's last family background.
Chen Shoudu is now powerful, occupying half of the Chen Dynasty, purely in terms of territory, even larger than half, and the Chen Dynasty inevitably borders with Cham and other places, and there are many black witch monks and other strange people.
They also have the old road of Sooshan, as well as Kublai Khan's Mongol army to help each other, whether Zhang Changling and Li Lin'an can capture Chang'an Mansion is still a matter of two words.
Even if Chang'an Mansion was captured, Jia Rudao controlled the army of the Song Dynasty, and he did not lead the army south to respond, and the attack on Chang'an Mansion would lose its strategic significance!
Yang Jing pondered for a moment, then asked Wang Daoming for instructions, "Master, what do you mean?"
Since Wang Daoming has studied the art of the emperor, he is a scholar and a martial artist, and he must understand all aspects of the court, and his military opinions are naturally very reliable.
Wang Daoming had heard Yang Jing's detailed description on the road, and he was also clear about the general trend, so he said to Yang Jing at this time.
"Chang'an Mansion may no longer have strategic significance, even if it is captured, it will not have much effect, but after all, it is Chen Shoudu's territory, and even the old nest, which is also a big blow to the morale of the rebels. ”
"It's just that it's easy to capture, but it's difficult to defend, the jade-faced Yaksha Zhang Changling is indeed a good wise general, he wouldn't fail to think of this, so the old man concluded that he would not attack Chang'an Mansion. ”
Wang Daoming is worthy of being a wise man, and his words also hit what Yang Jing thought in his heart, but if Zhang Changling and the others were not going to attack Chang'an Mansion, then why did they go south?
Wang Daoming seemed to see through Yang Jing's thoughts, and took the opportunity to say to Yang Jing: "When the two armies are fighting, the most important thing is not the fierce generals who kill people and take ranks among the ten thousand armies, nor the soldiers who are not afraid of death, the most important thing is intelligence first, and being able to anticipate the enemy before the first is the magic weapon to win." ”
"In the face of military intelligence collection, even the morale of the army must be behind, for what the division said, Yang Jing, do you understand?"
Yang Jing has always been deeply involved with the Imperial City Division, so he naturally understands the importance of intelligence, and he deeply understands this at this time.
If he can know the information of Chang'an Mansion, he will be able to know the intentions of Zhang Changling and the others, as well as their current whereabouts, so there is no need to speculate.
Yang Jing was worried, whether he should go north, curb Jia Rudao, prevent him from negotiating peace with Chen Shoudu, or go south to find Zhang Changling and protect his last bit of family background, but he suddenly had a flash of inspiration!
Master Wang Daoming lives in seclusion in the Black Sky Tribe, regards the tribe as his home, since he dares to bring these tribal warriors out with confidence, he must have already had a countermeasure, why should he be anxious?
Xu is eyes are invisible, Yang Jing is even more distracted, intuitive judgments similar to inspiration, and they are more active, so he talked to Wang Daoming at this time.
"Master, you have already taken a countermeasure, is what the apprentice said right?"
Wang Daoming smiled and said: "Yang Jing, you have to remember that you have to wait until the matter is born, and then think about countermeasures, this is a very passive thing, in order to win and think about defeat first, you must take precautions for everything, and you can be prepared and safe!"
When Wang Daoming said this, it was an admission, and Yang Jing was overjoyed.
After waiting in the camp for a while, sure enough, there were dozens of barefoot savages dressed in white coarse cloth, led by the Lordan headers, to see Wang Daoming.
These people should be people from other tribes, but the tribes in Chang'an Mansion have the same hatred as the Black Sky Tribe, so it can be said that Wang Daoming actually controls these tribes in Chang'an Mansion!
Yang Jing couldn't understand the tribal indigenous language, but Wang Daoming quickly spoke to him.
"These are the scouts of the Cotton Cotton, Gaoshui, Tai and other tribes, they have already heard it, Zhang Changling and the others have gone all the way south, have bypassed Chang'an Mansion, and are approaching Qinghua. ”
"Go to Qinghua?" Yang Jing couldn't help but wonder, but after a while, Yang Jing couldn't help but exclaim: "Is he going to stop Kublai Khan's people?!"
Wang Daoming nodded, and he also admired Yang Jing's analytical ability.
"That's right, Chen Shoudu surrendered to Mongolia, Kublai Khan has gathered all his troops and horses, once they successfully join forces with Chen Shoudu's people, and Jia Nidao takes the initiative to negotiate peace, they will definitely be stationed in Chang'an Mansion, take advantage of the opportunity to negotiate peace, confuse Jia Nidao, deceive Jia Nidao's trust, and then defeat the Song army in one fell swoop, when the time comes"
"This jade-faced Yaksha Zhang Changling has obviously realized this, there is a fortress of the Mehe Pass between Chang'an Mansion and Thanh Hoa, as long as they capture the Mee Pass, the Mongols will not be able to enter Chang'an!"
"Although this Mehe Pass is guarded by Chen Shoudu's people at the moment, it has been attacked by the Mongols earlier, so there are a lot of defenders, Zhang Changling and Li Lin'an are only afraid of a tough battle."
Yang Jing was already furious in his heart, Zhang Changling did not hesitate to disobey the military orders in order to stop the Mongols, and took the brothers of the Shenhuo Battalion to the Meihe Pass to die, but Jia Rudao was still dreaming of peace!
What makes Yang Jing even more angry is also himself!
If he hadn't been plotted by the old Dao of Soashan, Jia Rudao would not have taken the opportunity to seize power, Lin Jue and other brothers would not have died, and Zhang Changling would not have to go to Meihe Pass to die!
And Zhang Changling's move, in addition to blocking the Mongols, was more to delay time for Yang Jing for him!
Although Zhang Changling has the Shenhuo Battalion and the Zhuang barbarians, plus Li Lin'an's elite forbidden army of the Chen Dynasty, the combat effectiveness should not be too bad.
But if you want to rely on these people to block tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Mongolian troops from the small Mehe Passes, it is a bit of a fool's dream.
It is certain that they will be able to defeat Chen Shoudu's defenders and take the Mehe Pass, but it is also certain that with their combat strength and manpower, they will not be able to stop the Mongols for too long!
He is buying time for Yang Jing, as long as Yang Jing takes the opportunity to go north, break the rumors of Jia Nidao, suppress Jia Nidao, and regain military power, he will be able to wave his army to the south, and everything will be worth it at that time!
But if Yang Jing really did this, Zhang Changling, the Shenhuo Battalion and the Zhuang barbarians, even if they were not all wiped out, I believe that there would be few people left who would survive!
Should we focus on the overall situation, sacrifice these thousands or even tens of thousands of brothers, and bury all the Shenhuo Battalions that I have worked so hard to run in southern Xinjiang, or should I ignore Jia Nidao, but lead the people of the Black Sky Tribe to rescue Zhang Changling and others?
Yang Jing was faced with such a choice, and his heart was extremely heavy.
Although he was blindfolded, he seemed to be able to feel the light of his master Wang Daoming's eyes, and Wang Daoming seemed to be waiting for Yang Jing's decision.
If the art of the emperor is an extremely black-bellied science, it is possible to achieve big things without informality, to live and die, to know how to make trade-offs and trade-offs, often to focus on the overall situation, and even if the six relatives do not recognize it when necessary, it is also possible.
However, Yang Jing didn't hesitate for too long, he begged Wang Daoming: "Master, disciple disciple wants to go south!"
Yang Jing thought that Wang Daoming would dissuade him, because this was completely emotional, and he simply ignored the overall situation.
However, Wang Daoming simply agreed.
"Okay, let's get out, the sooner the better, otherwise they will attack the Mekong Pass, there will be casualties, you can write a close letter, I will let the Tai people send it first, maybe they can catch up." ”
Yang Jing was also a little surprised, didn't think much about it, and hurriedly wrote a secret letter, although there was no fire paint and seal of the boss, but Zhang Changling should have recognized Yang Jing's traces.
Yang Jing wrote a secret letter here, the tribal warriors had begun to pull out the camp, and the forward troops had also begun to turn around and head south.
After Yang Jing handed over the secret letter to the Tai scouts, he was a little relieved, but he couldn't understand why Wang Daoming would agree to him so simply.
However, this matter cannot be directly asked Wang Daoming, Yang Jing whispered this doubt to Li Yu while walking.
Li Yu hesitated for a while, and then said a little hesitantly: "Master Hou, this subordinate has some ideas, but he doesn't know whether to talk about it or not."
Yang Jing: "You've been following me for so long, don't you know who I am?
Li Yu saw that Yang Jing was speaking frankly, and he also knew that he was too cautious, so he told Yang Jing what he thought at this time.
"My subordinates feel that Wang Tianshi doesn't want to teach you the art of the emperor, but wants to directly push you to the throne of the God King!"
"Just like this matter, if Hou Ye saves Zhang Changling and Shenhuo Camp and other departments, these people will inevitably follow Hou Ye to the death, and what Jia Yidao did will definitely make the sergeants indignant, and when the time comes, all the sergeants will stand on Hou Ye's side, and it is inevitable that there will be the matter of Taizu's yellow robe."
When Yang Jing heard this, his heart couldn't help but be shocked, yes, Wang Daoming is already well versed in the art of the emperor, so why bother cultivating himself, he can completely use the art of the emperor to call the wind and rain and turn the world upside down!
