Chapter 515: The Enemy Situation is Overwhelming

Li Jiangyao's words immediately inspired the three people in the room.

Although Lao Jianhua and Bao Yuchun hid the Xuanniao plan tightly and it was difficult to penetrate and understand it for a while, if the traitor wasp far away in the imperial capital wanted to provide cooperation, it would inevitably become traceable.

For example, if he has been attacking the Navy frequently recently, it means that the real target of the rebels is Yang Li, not the combination of the Blue Dragon Legion and the Vermilion Bird Legion; In the same way, if the imperial court made a moth on Murong Xue, then the enemy's target was most likely to raid the Qinglong Army.

Li Jiangyao's method of comparative analysis between the two sides can indeed repeatedly confirm the intelligence of the rebels from the side.

Yuan Bin praised convincingly: "Dadu Hu is really powerful!" Such an ingenious way, if Lao Jianhua knew about it, he would have to be half angry. ”

Li Jiangyao said with a smile: "I think, you don't have to risk returning to Jiangnan first, let's go to the imperial capital next and help Brother Shen collect information on Wei Zixuanyin, Chengyi and others." We have to take advantage of the enemy's flaw and see through them in turn! ”

Yuan Bin was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Yudra who was sitting next to him, the chief of the Zhenjiang Intelligence Department smiled and nodded: "What are you doing in a daze?" Hurry up and take the order. ”

"Yes!" Yuan Bin got up and arched his hand, and said excitedly: "This time I can follow Lord Shen again." ”

-

Because of the urgency of the situation, Yuan Bin did not dare to delay time, and after obtaining Li Jiangyao's consent, he set off overnight, riding alone and galloping on a fast horse, and went straight to the imperial capital.

After a few days and nights of travel, the tired Yuan Bin finally arrived at the Shengtang Capital. He disguised himself, incarnated as a Binzhou merchant, and entered the city to find a temporary contact point for the imperial capital branch. The secret agent who was guarding there had already received the news, and after checking his identity, he led him to the Sanchun Tea House in Changle Fang.

The owner of the Sanchun Tea House is surnamed Nian, an old man in the south with white hair and a rickety figure. Yuan Bin didn't recognize it at first, until the other party regained his original voice and greeted him with a smile, and Yuan Bin suddenly realized that Boss Nian was actually Shen Lie.

"Your Excellency, you ...... This is so godly, it's a complete change of people! ”

Looking at Yuan Bin's appearance of never seeing the world, Shen Lie couldn't help laughing, of course, it was more of a relief to be reunited between his comrades and brothers. Shen Lie asked Yuan Bin to sit down, and while beckoning him to eat some snacks to cushion his stomach, he introduced with a smile: "I want to lurk in the imperial capital for a long time, and the situation is very different from Jiangnan. When I was in Hangzhou, not many people knew me, and there were acquaintances who came and went here, and if I was not careful, I would expose my traces, so I had to show my housekeeping skills and completely change my appearance. ”

Yuan Bin looked at the other party's face carefully, and couldn't help but feel distressed: "It must be very uncomfortable and hard to maintain a state of transfiguration all the time, right?" ”

Shen Lie waved his hand indifferently: "It's just a little itchy on the face, the body has been rickety for a long time, and the shoulders and back are slightly sore." Compared with the hardships endured by the front-line soldiers, it is simply not worth mentioning. ”

He brought a bowl of water to Yuan Bin, told him not to choke, and then continued: "The idea of Dadu Hu, Yudra gave me a book to fly the pigeon, and they were carefully introduced. This is indeed a good idea, and even better, the enemy shows the fox's tail as Dadugo judges. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Bin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly put down the snack in his hand and asked curiously, "Did you find something?" ”

Shen Lie nodded: "That's right." The day before yesterday, the Ministry of War held a meeting with the Ministry of Households, and decided to use the important fortress of Luotian Yingshan and transfer and store all the grain newly harvested in Luoyi, Bianzhou, Gwangju and other places this year, so as to supply the needs of the two regiments of Qinglong Suzaku at the same time. ”

Yuan Bin immediately reacted: "Harboring evil intentions!" Luo Tian was at the junction of the two corps, and not far to the south were Jichun County and Xishui County. They wanted the rebels to raid the place and then burn the army's winter rations with a fire! My lord, since the other party's intentions have been exposed, then hurry up and notify the front line to be on alert, so that Ye Rongcheng will not come back! ”

Shen Lie smiled slightly: "Don't be busy informing the front line." I suspect that the enemy is still playing tricks on us. ”

"Oh? How so? Yuan Bin was a little puzzled by this.

"What raises my doubts is timing." Shen Lie patiently explained: "Although Luo Tian Yingshan's baggage battalion is very important and its location happens to be at the junction of the two armies, it takes time to transfer grain. I have consulted experts in this area, and it will take at least two months to fill the warehouse, which will take at least two months at the current capacity of the imperial court. ”

He thought for a moment, and then said: "In terms of the effect of the campaign, a raid on half a warehouse and a raid on a full warehouse are completely different, and when Luo Tian is basically filled with grain, the time will drag on for too long, and it is easy to expose the risk of military operations." ”

Yuan Bin pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "That's true." The rebels are now starting to assemble and prepare, indicating that they will soon be moving and will not wait long. ”

Shen Lie continued: "Therefore, I analyzed that the focus of Luo Tian Yingshan's baggage fortress was not how much grain and grass was really transferred, but the transfer order itself. ”

"You mean...... Is this a decoy? Yuan Bin reacted suddenly.

"Probably so," Shen Lie bowed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Think about it, if the imperial court issues an order to hoard all the newly harvested grain in the Central Plains this year at the junction close to the front line, how will the Blue Dragon Legion and the Vermilion Bird Legion react?" ”

Yuan Bin responded: "It's about the food of more than 200,000 troops, so of course it's about raising vigilance and taking care of it." ”

Shen Lie then asked: "If at this time, the enemy troops on the other side of the strait suddenly secretly assemble nearby and are ready to move, what does it mean?" ”

"It means they want to raid the Baggage Fortress!" Yuan Bin immediately replied: "Whether it is General Murong or Commander Ma, they will definitely attach great importance to this and send additional troops to strengthen their defenses." ”

"In this way, it may be in the hands of Lao Jianhua." Shen Lie said in a deep voice: "On the surface, the enemy wants to attack the important fortress, but in fact, he has another purpose, to draw everyone's attention here, so as to plot in other directions. ”

Yuan Bin frowned: "Then what will be the real goal?" ”

Shen Lie responded: "I remembered what Dadu Hu said before. The key to the counterinsurgency war lies in the river. Which side holds the control of the river, and which side is temporarily invincible. You say, their target will be the imperial navy fleet? ”

Yuan Bin thought about it, nodded and said, "It's very possible." If the enemy is suspicious and puts on the posture of crossing the river to raid the important fortresses, then the imperial court may urgently transfer the naval army and rush from Yiling to the downstream for reinforcements. But...... This still depends on the actions of the mole in order to be confirmed. ”

As soon as the words fell, I suddenly heard the secret agent standing guard outside the door whispering: "Lord Shi, are you here?" The people on the front line have arrived, and they are inside. ”

Immediately after, the door curtain was raised, and Shi Feng walked in from outside.

"Huh? It's you, boy! As soon as he saw Yuan Bin, he immediately became overjoyed: "My God, why did you come here from Jiangnan?" ”

Yuan Bin also hurriedly got up with a smile, and while hugging Shi Feng, he responded: "Brother Shi, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Shi Feng nodded again and again: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I haven't seen you for a long time." Yes, Yuan Bin, I've grown a lot taller, and my beard has grown. ”

Yuan Bin explained to Shen Lie: "When I was transferred from the Third Army to the Intelligence Department, it was Brother Shi who took me from the beginning and taught me a lot of things, and he was my master. ”

"What Master! The real Master is here. Shi Feng pointed at Shen Lie: "Learn from adults, then you can have a good time." ”

Shen Lie laughed loudly: "You guy, you don't have a good shape all day long." What's new, what's new on the princess's side? ”

Shi Feng nodded, sat down and said: "I just received a report from Li Xiuming, at the suggestion of the Governor's Mansion, the household department has recently allocated a batch of new weapons and equipment to the Yiling Naval Army, including 300,000 arrows alone, as well as a large amount of silver, which are currently being handed over one after another. Yang Li and they are steep and rich, Li Xi felt that the situation was a little abnormal, so he specially asked me to inform the adults. ”

Hearing him say this, Shen Lie and Yuan Bin couldn't help but glance at each other, and their faces showed puzzled expressions.

The household, which has always been stingy and picky, suddenly became generous, sending equipment, and giving funds, weapons and arrows are enough to fight a large-scale battle, and warships can also be repaired and upgraded, what is this for?

The answer is obvious: the naval army with more confidence will be more confident to take the initiative and attack the enemy!

If at this time, you predict that the enemy will sneak in and raid the Jichun defense line, and then attack the important fortress of Luotian, then the imperial navy has every reason to set off in advance and secretly deploy on that section of the waterway to give the invading enemy a head-on blow!

And once they leave Yiling and march downstream, they may fall into the rebels' plan to lure the enemy deeper and be in danger of being ambushed and besieged.

Now there is only one condition left that needs to be carefully observed: Bao Xinyan's fleet is in Linzigang near Yiling, guarding the passage to the downstream, and what they will do next will directly affect Yang Li's choice.

Once the rebel fleet stationed in Lin Zigang withdraws, it will be equivalent to giving the imperial navy the way to the Jichun Waterway, and it can be concluded that the other party is deliberately plotting to lure Yang Li eastward!

Shen Lie discussed with Yuan Bin and Shi Feng for a long time, and they all believed that this intelligence analysis had a certain amount of truth and could provide evidence for Dadu Hu. So, the three of them wrote a secret letter along with their own thoughts and immediately sent it to the front line of the river.

After Li Jiangyao received the news, he also agreed with this speculation, and actually hurriedly ordered someone to go to find out the movement of Bao Xinyan coming in.

Soon, Yudra brought the latest situation in the upstream direction: Bao Xinyan had just commanded his men to fight a big battle with Yang Li and them, and the losses were not small, and he was currently evacuating the Linzigang base and retreating downstream.
