Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 873 Spy
Looking at the crowd, Nianhan said: "Hangzhou has sent back news many times. This summer, the Song army intends to counterattack aggressively. How to march and how to fight on the east road is roughly known. Instead, Wang Xiaolie from the west road blocked the news It's very strict, and I don't know how to arrange it. In the current situation, we can't control the East Road, we can only protect ourselves. On the West Road, our opponent is Wang Xiaolie. The rest of the generals should guard against Xixia. Take part in this battle."

Gushen's Chinese name is Wanyan Xiyin. He is thoughtful, wise, and proficient in the law. It is said that he can communicate with the gods. He is regarded as a shaman by the Jurchens.Under the order of Wanyan Aguda, he created the Jurchen script and is the wise man among the Jurchens.

In Nianhan's small group, Gu Shen's opinion is very important, and he often makes suggestions.

After Nianhan finished speaking, Gu Shen said: "Wang Xiaolie is different from other people, and you must deal with it with extra care. Looking at his life, first a small group of rebels were active between the two capitals. After Zongze died, they went south to chase Yang Jin and occupy the Special attention should be paid to what they did after occupying Xiangyang. Unlike other forces, they recruited refugees and reclaimed the land around Xiangyang and Dengzhou, and their power expanded rapidly. Although they rescued Shanzhou many times during the The Jingmen army is not particularly outstanding. After going north to occupy Luoyang last year, the army increased suddenly and won consecutive battles. Last winter, Wang Xiaolian occupied Shaanxi. I am worried that if we can't make a quick victory and quickly eliminate Wang Xiaohun's power, once he has digested Guanzhong, we are afraid that we will no longer be his opponents."

Yeluyu smiled "puchi" when he heard it: "This Wang Xiaolie, what kind of extravagant character is it? It's so scary!"

Gu Shendao: "Pu Lisu and Scatter Li Drink are all famous generals in the world, and they died at the hands of Wang Xiaohun. Do we dare to underestimate them?"

Seeing that Yeluyu wanted to continue arguing, Nianhan stopped and said: "In just a few years, Wang Xiaolie has occupied several states and has hundreds of thousands of troops. He must be an extraordinary person. You must not fight against him. Compared with other Song generals, we should pay more attention to it. Supervisor, what do you think should be done?"

Gu Shendao: "The most important thing now is to know how Wang Xiaolie fights. We also sent a few people to Luoyang, but Wang Xiaolie avoided them. He kept them under surveillance and could not get any information. This is No way. I heard that Wang Xiaolie often sends people to pretend to be businessmen to spy on information, and the enemy is often unprepared. We can also learn from this method and send a few businessmen to Luoyang to find out the Song army's battle plan."

Nianhan nodded: "This method is very good. Let the supervising army handle it."

Gu Shen obeyed.

Nianhan said: "Although I don't know Wang Xiaolie's battle plan, based on his layout, we can roughly guess it. On the Hedong front line, there are several places where Wang Xiaolie's garrison is located. They are Pingyang Mansion, Longde Mansion, and There are Shizhou, Fuzhou and other places. Shizhou and Fuzhou should be the soldiers and horses to guard against Xixia. There are not many soldiers and horses, so they can be ignored. The fundamental places for the Song army to attack Taiyuan are Pingyang and Longde. "

Everyone nodded after hearing this.Pingyang Mansion is Jinzhou, plus the original Longde Mansion in Luzhou, which are the two forward bases of the Song Army.Everyone can see that it is impossible for Song Jun to give up these two places and take other routes.

Nianhan said: "Last year, our troops were insufficient. The Song army had already occupied the narrow pass, and Taiyuan had no danger to defend. Also, our army is good at field warfare, but not good at defending the city. So this time we don't defend the city, but fight the Song army in the field! Go to war, abandon Fenzhou, and let the Song army occupy the three counties of Qixiu, Pingyao, and Xihe. At this time, the whole army will attack and defeat the Song army at the fastest speed. Then, calmly deal with the Song army from Longde Mansion."

Yeluyu clapped his hands at the sight: "Marshal is right! Why bother with the Song army, defeating them with the fastest speed is the most important thing!"

Nianhan said: "When the autumn is high and the horses are fat, about the end of August, our whole army will set off for Taiyuan! The troops will be divided into two groups, one led by Gushen, the left supervisor, with about 7 troops. The other will be seen by Yeluyu, the right supervisor. Leading, about 20 people. Including the original army of Yinshu Ke in Taiyuan Prefecture, nearly [-] soldiers! The attack on Bianliang back then was far less than this number. We pay enough attention to this Wang Xiaolie!"

All the generals crossed their hands together and sang loudly.

Gao Qingyi said: "In addition to this, there is one more thing that everyone must pay attention to. Last year, the right deputy Yuanshi planned and organized carefully to snatch the artillery from the Song army. After so many years, the generals should understand that Wang Xiao The most feared thing in the hunting army is the artillery. Once the artillery is fired, it will be unstoppable, and the army will automatically collapse. The artillery and craftsmen have already arrived in Xijing, and I am organizing craftsmen to imitate them. After they are produced, all armies must be familiar with them in advance."

Yeluyu saw it and said, "It is said that artillery is powerful, is it true? If there is such a sharp weapon in the world, who else is an opponent?"

Nian Han said: "Of course it's true! Ba Lisu and Sa Lihe are both famous generals in the world, but they are under the artillery! You should not take it lightly!"

Seeing Nianhan's stern attitude, all the generals hurriedly agreed.

Nian Han said: "It's April now, everyone, make preparations early after you go back. After autumn, the army will go south!"

All the generals shouted together and raised their glasses to drink.

Gu Shen returned to Datong Mansion and drank with his second concubine Li Shunying that night.

Li Shunying was originally the wife of Wang Zhaoshi, who was captured after the Jingkang Incident and returned to Gushen.She is beautiful and good at flattering, so she is very favored and becomes the second concubine of Gu Shen.In particular, the original partner of the most valley god, Wugu Lun·曷罗约, is getting old and fading, and is even more favored.

During the Jingkang Revolution, too many Song Dynasty concubines and princesses were captured, and the generals of the Jin Dynasty basically had Song Dynasty concubines as concubines.Some, like Li Shunying, live a decent life.Some were very unfortunate and were tortured to death soon.In general, of course, there are many unfortunate people.

After a few glasses of wine, Gu Shen said: "I want to find someone to do business in the south, you know a lot of people from the south, do you know anyone?"

After hearing this, Li Shunying thought to herself.Going to the south to do business will give you more opportunities to go home, and the opportunity to reunite with your relatives is of course a good thing.Said: "There is a Zhang Yuan, who sells wine in Xijing now. I heard that when he was in the Central Plains, he was a businessman with a very good mind."

After hearing this, Gu Shen hurriedly asked about Zhang Yuan's specific situation.

It turned out that the Zhang family was in the silk and satin business when they were in Jingkang, and the whole family was separated in the military chaos.In the past few years, because of his diligence, a rich man asked him to sell wine on credit, and he gradually settled down.

"Business of silk and satin—" Gu Shen thought secretly.I want to send people to Luoyang, the silk business is good.After Wang Xiaolie built a textile factory in Luoyang, the supply of cotton cloth increased greatly, and many people from the north also went there to sell it.Especially the cotton-padded clothes worn in winter, though not as expensive as brocade fur and mink fur, were still more expensive than ordinary cotton-padded clothes.It is very popular in the north because of the wind protection.

After thinking for a while, Gu Shen said: "I need to use such a person for something. Let him come to the mansion tomorrow, and I will meet him."
