Chapter 287 True and False Intelligence Countermeasures
Pan Mei was worried about the information coming from the world. At this time, she heard that there was news outside the big account. Pan Mei immediately said, "Take the captain of that team of scouts to report. There must be no mistake!"
The messenger retreated at his order. Before long, the captain of the scout team stepped into the coach's tent and held his fist at Pan Mei: "Fang Qiu, the captain of the third scout team, just searched in front of the army according to the order, and finally found a local scout one miles away from our army. After a fierce fight, he finally captured a place alive. The scout, and we also injured three brothers.
Pan Mei frowned. He found that the messenger was getting more and more out of the subject. He immediately interrupted: "Well, I know that you are spying hard this time. I will order each of you to receive an extra half a month's military pay. Come on, what information did you find out from the Liao man?"
Fangqiu nodded and said, "From the Liao population, we know that there are less than eight thousand soldiers defending the city, including 5,000 iron riders and 3,000 infantry, but they have enough food and grass and can last for a year, and Zhao Yanxin, the assassin who defended the city, seems to not intend to stick to the city and fight against our army."
Pan Mei nodded thoughtfully and said, "There are not enough troops and there is plenty of food and grass. I really can't hold on to it." After thinking about it alone, he saw that everyone was waiting for his order, so he casually said, "You all go down and continue to spy on local intelligence. If there is any update, please tell me immediately."
Everyone was ordered to retreat, leaving Pan Mei alone to meditate in the coach's tent. He said to himself, "The emperor's idea is that the army of the West Road and the Middle Road will quickly rush forward and occupy the back mountain, so as to fight with the East Road Army that contained the main force of Liaoning, and finally take Youzhou. In this way, the first battle with Huanzhou must fight quickly. Quick decision, otherwise the army will lose morale, and the future battle will be more difficult, and it will be more difficult to advance.
At this time, I only heard a voice from outside the big account: "General Yang Ye, if you have something important to discuss with the commander-in-chief, dare to ask if you can allow the general to enter the account?"
Why did he come over as soon as I got the information? Does he have any doubts about the emperor's resolution? Pan Mei didn't think much anymore and immediately replied, "How can there be no reason for General Yang to see here? Please come in quickly. I also have something important to discuss with General Yang."
Hearing the order, Yang Ye immediately strode into the big account. Although he is a deputy general, he has the right to wait outside the account without notification, but he can't directly enter the big account. At this time, when he saw Pan Mei, Yang Ye immediately held his fists in his hands and said loudly: "General, the army of the last general just met the Liao army and put him After the whole team was captured alive, they asked for some information and were about to report to the general.
As soon as Pan Mei heard this, she was suddenly a little unhappy. His men and the scouts of the Liao army hurt several people and only captured them alive. However, listening to Yang Ye's words, his team unexpectedly took down the whole team's scouts easily. He frowned and said, "I don't think it's necessary. The handsome scout just now The general situation in Huanzhou City has been described to me, and General Lao Yang came here specially. Let's talk about it. He turned around and ignored Yang Ye at all. He looked like a gift.
Yang Ye also doesn't mind. He continued to say, "Dare to ask the general, the information you have received is that there are less than 8,000 soldiers defending the city, including 5,000 iron riders and 3,000 infantry, but there is enough food and fodder, and it can last for a year, and Zhao Yanxin, the assassin who defended the city, seems to intend to stick to it. Such information?"
Are you asking knowingly? Pan Mei almost roared a few words at Yang Ye, but he finally put up with it. After all, behind him was his deputy general, which could not be underestimated. He tried his anger and said, "Of course it was this, but I think this matter is busy. General Yang doesn't have to find me in the camp for a few nonsense."
The smell of gunpowder in this sentence was so strong that Yang Ye couldn't hear it, but he didn't mean it. He could only sigh immediately and continue to say, "The general misunderstood the meaning of the last general. That's all the information the last general heard at the beginning, but those scouts directly insisted on the information in unison without torture. , hasn't the general thought about the truth or falsehood in it?
As soon as this word came out, Pan Mei immediately woke up. She was so eager for intelligence that he believed it as soon as she reported it. At this time, after Yang Ye mentioned it, he woke up, but as the commander of the three armies, he naturally had arrogance. He did not look back and asked, "What information did General Yang find out? ?"
Yang Ye said, "After our rigorous interrogation, these words were all overturned by the scouts. They said that there were as many as 20,000 soldiers defending the city, but at present, the war is tense, and the grain and fodder can't be transported at all. At this time, it has been difficult to supply food in the city for a month. What they said before is just for After confusion, let us find that all the soldiers defending the city came out of the city to meet the enemy. When we underestimated the enemy in our hearts, the remaining 10,000 people killed from the side, cut off the middle road of our army, and ate up the front of our army. The remaining 2,000 people cut off our army's food and fodder, and then they could not hold on, waiting for rescue, forcing our army to retreat without fighting. "
Listening to Yang Ye's words, Pan Mei set off waves in her heart. He did not expect that the Liao army had already set a tactical policy and waited for him to take the bait. If he really listened to the words of the scout and saw 8,000 horses fighting against him outside the city, he would definitely underestimate the enemy in order to quickly occupy the city and get With the first achievement, he will definitely make the whole team attack. In the end, he is afraid that not only the striker will lose, but also most of the middle road will be eaten by the other side. It is not that he has never seen the iron horse of Daliao. As long as he charges, the unprepared infantry can't stop it at all. Thinking of this, there was a cold sweat behind him.
But he immediately thought about it and suddenly sneered. Yang Ye held the important position, but the situation of the enemy army was the same as before. His later intelligence was all beaten into a trick. Then he acted so cautiously, not to mention that he was captured by the army in the middle or even the East Road. If he was taken away by Yang Ye, how could his position as a commander? Isn't it unguaranteable? Over the years, the emperor's trust and heavy use of Yang Ye can be seen that a surrendered general can become the deputy capital of the West Road army. If he makes more military achievements, I'm afraid that the emperor's trust in him is better than himself.
Thinking of this, he suddenly turned around and smiled at Yang Ye and said, "General Yang's bothered. These commanders have already understood. If the first battle is successful, General Yang will be extremely successful and it's getting late. General Yang should retreat early and rest. The truth of the information will be known at the time of the war in Japan. The authenticity of the information obtained at this time still needs to be verified. No General Yang, please rest assured that I have already knew it, and General Yang can rest assured. As for those Liao people, General Yang is good at taking care of them and may be able to find out more information from them. After saying that, he shouted outside the tent, "Take General Yang back to the camp."
Seeing that the news had been conveyed, it was inconvenient to stay for a long time. Yang Ye immediately hugged his fist and waited and retreated. In the big account, several close bodyguards beside him suddenly came from him and quietly sent a few words. Then, the guards quietly went out of the account and disappeared into the night.
Out of the big account, Tang Longyan hurriedly greeted him and asked in a low voice, "General Yang, how is Pan Mei's attitude?"
Yang Ye frowned, shook his head slowly and said, "Although he said that he knew and would make arrangements, he was actually very taboo about me in his new middle school. I'm afraid that he may not be able to believe what I said. Looking at his appearance, I'm afraid he is worried that I will falsely report the military situation and take the opportunity to seize the military exploits."
Tang Longyan nodded and said, "After you came out, a few people with good martial arts rushed out of the camp in several ways. I'm afraid that they have passed in the direction of our army's garrison at this time. They should have received Pan Mei's secret order to interrogate those Liao people. They really can't trust us. As for the other two, they are running towards the scout camp, perhaps just in case, to strengthen the search work and see if there is an ambush nearby.
Yang Ye sighed and said, "Since the information obtained by Brother Tang is so valuable and cannot be reused, although General Pan has some preparations, he is still lucky and not prepared enough. In this way, he is afraid that the army will be in trouble. There is nothing he can do. Tang leads the order!"
When Tang Longyan saw Yang Ye's order, he immediately clenched his fist and said, "Tang Longyan, wait for General Yang's order!"
Yang Ye ordered: "This mobilization should not be too violent, otherwise it will definitely cause General Pan's suspicion. In the army, if you don't listen to the general's order to act without authorization, I'm afraid that it will attract the prison army's condemnation. It's okay to win. If the record is not good, it will definitely be a felony. Therefore, the dragon cavalry have to go out of this action, and Tang led the army. , you divide your dragon cavalry into three roads, dress up as grain and grass soldiers all the way, assist in escorting grain and grass, and lurk all the way five miles to the right of the army, where there are mountains as the base, which is a good place for ambush. If the enemy wants to envelop, you can attack from behind it and break through each other. In the last route, you personally lead the team and act as a striker. The dragoons are invincible and invincible. In the first game, you must play with momentum. When necessary, you need to charge into the front and kill the enemy commander!"
Tang Longyan lowered his head slightly and said, "I understand that I will arrange it. But I'm afraid that the transfer of soldiers will need General Yang's order. I will leave first." After saying that, Tang Longyan bowed slightly to Yang Ye and turned away, leaving Yang Ye alone to look up at the starry sky and silent.
Back at the camp, Tang Longyan was about to gather the nightmare eight riders, Zhou Tianyi and other three people and ordered, "Brother, you are very mobile, so you will lead 500 dragon cavalry to ambush five miles east of the army. If you accidentally encounter the enemy, you will slowly retreat, but you must ensure that your actions are not found by the enemy. Third brother and fourth brother, you The two took 500 people as food and grass soldiers. The enemy may sneak attack and cut off our army's food and grass. Pay attention to the remaining 500 people will be forwards with me tomorrow and kill the Liao people!"
