Chapter 72: Ping Yan's Three Strategies
Yuan Yi is an extremely important member of Yao Guangxiao's intelligence agency.
He was not interested in his father's physiognomy, but he liked to follow Yao Guangxiao, so in the name of Yao Guangxiao's disciple, he followed Yao Guangxiao all year round.
Yuan Yi came out from the west, usually to Qingshou Temple.
The two quickly went downstairs to follow, but Yuan Yi did this, so the two were very careful.
Jing Sheng's experience is to never look at the other person lightly, and try not to expose yourself to his eyes.
The two of them are divided on both sides, try to follow behind passers-by, block themselves with passers-by's bodies, and at the same time do not look in front of them, rely on the afterglow to see, really want to see, must not be long, turn their heads or bow their heads immediately after a glance.
If you make eye contact with the other party, it will definitely be over.
Yuan Yi kept walking west, and when he reached the end of the second street, he hesitated for a moment, and then turned south.
At this time, Jing Sheng signaled not to follow.
Because to the south is Qingju Temple.
It was still the case the next day.
Mao Xin once asked, why don't the two of us separate, one in the west and the other in the east, or staring across from his house to see where he is going?
Jing Sheng said, this person is doing this business, he is very careful, and he will look around as soon as he goes out.
The people who keep up with him in the vicinity of his house can easily cause him to be alert.
So he didn't plan to follow near Yuan's house, it must be better to choose the side of the road, and there are few people over there, and there are many people here, so it is easy to cover.
The two of them have two days off and one day off, and they don't follow every day, and they change their looks every time.
Today he is a farmer, tomorrow he may be a scholar, and sometimes Jing Sheng directly wears an official uniform and walks swaggering down the street.
The two will change positions every time, you follow the same street, I follow the same street, if you encounter Yuan Yi who keeps looking back, the two will immediately end the tracking.
followed down several times and found that Yuan Yi didn't go much.
The most is Qingshou Temple, and then there is a Taoist temple, this Taoist temple is close to Yanwangfu, there is a good female Taoist priest in it, but there is almost forty years old, the female Taoist priest has an apprentice, it seems to be very young and beautiful, but because of the distance, it is not very clear to see, afterwards they entered the temple to burn incense, and did not see the little apprentice.
Every time Yuan Yi went to this Taoist temple, he would bring something over, but the female Taoist priest was very respectful to him, but the little apprentice ignored him, and later they learned that the little apprentice was actually Xu Miaojin, the sister of Princess Yan.
Yuan Yi will also go to a place, and it is very regular, basically he must go in about ten days.
When I go, I bring plenty of gifts and meat.
This is a widow of the king who lives in the south of the city.
The widow of the king used to be Tan Yuan's subordinate, and later died on the battlefield, Tan Yuan didn't know if it was to win the hearts of the people for the prince, and learned from King Yan to take care of the family, and would send some food and meat every year.
I don't know when, Yuan Yi hooked up with Widow Wang, and every ten days or so, they must go once.
Jing Sheng originally wanted Mao Xin to rent a house opposite or near the widow Wang.
But the land over there is full of ordinary people, who only live in one house of their own, and if they don't make a windfall, no one will want to relocate.
This has to be replaced by something else, so Jing Sheng will directly buy one and let the people move away for a bigger house.
But Yuan Yi is different, every time he comes over, he will look around, if he sees that his neighbor has changed, he may cause trouble.
At this time, Mao Xin said: "Let's rent a big shop to put iron materials and iron tools, and not live in people." ”
"If Yuan Yi knew, it is estimated that we are profiteers who hoard Juqi, and we will definitely not think of this aspect."
"Wonderful." Jing Sheng patted his head, he thought about it too much, smart people always think more, Yuan Yi is a smart person, and he definitely can't think that the more dangerous the place, the safer it is.
Let's set up the warehouse next to his lover, and it should be above board.
The key is that the rent in this place is cheap, and it is a perfect match for profiteers.
But then Mao Xin asked again: "Wait, why do we want to rent a shop here?" ”
After returning from Beijing, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Gaoyang County, had rented and bought a lot of shops and houses in Beiping, operated various industries, and even occupied a temple.
Money is spent like water these days.
This is also due to the fact that a large number of merchants and people in Beiping were afraid of the war and fled one after another, otherwise they would not have been able to rent or buy so many houses.
Jing Sheng smiled and looked at Mao Xin: "Didn't you say that Widow Wang has a good figure and looks very windy?" ”
Mao Xin immediately squeaked his teeth and laughed: "Look at her peach blossom eyes and that big fart." ”
"This kind of girl is on the boat, the waves are not good, Brother Shi, I tell you, I can also look at the face, of course, limited to women, hahahaha." Mao Xinlang laughed.
Jing Sheng smiled and nodded: "I see that you have practiced martial arts, you are strong, and you look pretty good, Yuan Yi's gang is useless at first glance, you just need to work hard." ”
"What?" Mao Xin's face was a little ugly: "Do you still want to do this kind of thing?" ”
"If you don't want to, I'll find someone else." Jing Sheng said quietly.
"Don't." Mao Xin immediately said seriously: "For the sake of Gao Gongzi, I reluctantly sacrifice myself for it." ”
"You're not right." Jing Sheng said earnestly: "It's you who want to play with women for nothing, and I think she is enough to burn." ”
"You're going to have that attitude, you know? In our line of work, we must substitute every character into it, so that we will not show flaws. ”
Mao Xin nodded heavily: "I understand, I just want to get her." ”
“。。” Imori.
----
In late July, outside Songting Pass.
Bu Wan was a very capable general, he led an army of 100,000 to guard the Songting Pass and confront the Yan army, and at the same time played the imperial court's strategy to defeat the enemy.
In the letter, he wrote three strategies.
The best strategy is to hit both sides in one go.
He asked the imperial court to transfer Geng Xuan, who was stationed at Shanhaiguan, to lead tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Shanhaiguan, bypass Yongping, bring enough grain and grass for ten days, regardless of the gains and losses of the city, from behind the Yan army's fart drums, and fight Yan Yi with him, and finally said: "We will be able to win." (In fact, at the same time, Geng Zhen also wrote to the imperial court, asking for troops, but the imperial court did not agree, and I don't know what the officials of the Ming court thought.) )
The middle strategy is to attack from three sides and break it in one fell swoop.
Tune Liang will Xu Kai in the elite of Linqing at the same time to the north, Bu Wan is strictly guarding here, Xu Kai forced to Beiping, Yan rebel Wen Xun, will inevitably return to the army, and then Geng Xuan, Xu Kai converged under the city of Beiping, the three armies are united, there are 200,000 people, Bu Wan said that he will definitely be able to break Yan Rebellion.
The next strategy is to cut off its food and slowly break it.
The imperial court then sent a large army over, advancing step by step, first clearing the cities around Yanwei, and if it could not be attacked, it would be besieged but not attacked.
Cutting off the source of grain and grass and economic income of Yan Rebellion, it will not be long before Yan Rebellion will inevitably fall.
Of the three strategies, the first one is the most aggressive and the fastest, and the last one is the most stable, and the time may be the longest.
According to Bu Wan's letter, it is also necessary to strictly investigate the merchants' rebellion, and both land and water routes will be closed to ensure that no merchant in the whole country can enter Beiping.
In less than a year, without the imperial court's soldiers and horses, Beiping can be chaotic by itself.
I have to say that Bu Wan's three strategies are very strong, and he even plans to fight for a few years like the Battle of Changping, and use the resources of the imperial court to consume the resources of the Yan army, which in his opinion, the imperial court will win.
When Bu Wan wrote this letter, he also felt that after his letter arrived at the imperial court, he would definitely be able to make himself popular.
In the future, the history books will record my Bu Wan's three strategies of Pingyan.
But he was unlucky.
He successively sent several batches of fast horsemen to deliver messages, but was intercepted by the Yan army's sentry cavalry.
The letter soon reached the hands of Zhu Di, the king of Yan.
When Zhu Di saw this, he was immediately shocked, and cold sweat broke out on his head.
The so-called connoisseur knows whether there is one as soon as he stretches out his hand.
Bu Wan's three strategies for Pingyan, each of which is a great harm to him.
Before, he underestimated Bu Wan, he once bragged in front of the generals, which required him to switch positions with Bu Wan, he had 100,000 soldiers and horses, and he had already rushed out to fight Bu Wan.
Now when I see Pingyan's three strategies, I know that Bu Wan seeks stability.
Bu Wan's three strategies are all very safe, and the winning rate is extremely high.
This person must be eliminated, this letter is in the hands of Jianwen and Huang Zicheng, fortunately, these two people do not understand military affairs, and they may not be able to listen.
But when it comes to Qi Tai and Xu Huizu, they will definitely give their full support.
Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was a very tricky person, and after he saw the letter that day, he ordered to convene a meeting of the generals.
He asked the generals if there was a good way to break the enemy, or find a way to disintegrate the soldiers and horses of the Daning Metropolitan Division opposite?
Before the fight, he held a meeting before the war, discussed with everyone, and then Zhu Gaoxu's proposal to strictly prevent the other side from using tricks.
Then King Yan succeeded in one fell swoop, this time he wanted to repeat the old trick and see if anyone in his subordinates could figure out a way.
This will be like a cloud of good generals under his account, Xu Zhong and Li Bin, two of whom have the talent of generals.
The two looked at each other when they heard this, and they both wanted to speak, but they were both quite polite.
Zhu Di immediately saw it: "Xu Zhong, Li Bin, what do you two say?" ”
"You speak first."
"Let's talk first."
Li Bin and Xu Zhong spoke in unison.
Then they looked at each other and smiled, but Xu Zhong said unceremoniously: "Back to the king, you can use the divisive strategy." ”
"Oh, the plan will be released?" Zhu Di said with a smile.
Xu Zhong guards Kaiping all the year round, and is very close to Bu Wan's Daning Metropolitan Division, and he also knows the situation over there very well.
"Bu Wan is a very capable general, but he has little qualifications, and the two main guards in his army, Chen Heng and Liu Zhen, both have the title of governor, with old qualifications and a greater official rank than him.
"Liu Zhen has a strong personality, does things vigorously, and usually does things recklessly--"
Xu Zhong clearly analyzed the personalities of the main generals opposite.
Zhu Di was overjoyed when he heard this, patted the table and said, "Xu Zhong is good, it's the same as I thought, hahaha." ”
After Zhu Di dismissed the meeting, he called Tan Yuan and asked, "Xue Liuke is in your army?" ”
Tan Yuan said: "He takes the lead in every battle and dares to work hard. ”
He was a little surprised in his heart, King Yan is going to promote and reuse my subordinates?
On the same day, the prince said that the king of Gaoyang County wanted to win over Xue Liu, and the king of Yan deliberately asked Xue Liu's name.
"I have one thing, test him, call him here."
"Yes, my lord." Tan Yuan hurriedly went to call Xue Liu.
