Chapter 114: Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy

Sun Tzu's Art of War Strategy, the whole summary is that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles, this famous sentence runs through the history of ancient Chinese wars, and the core of the middle story is intelligence.

At the strategic level, intelligence can play a very small role, and strategy is mainly to predict and mobilize greater forces to prepare and respond, but intelligence plays a huge role in tactics, and it can be said that whether or not we have intelligence has a direct bearing on the outcome of a war.

Know each other and know yourself, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles; Knowing oneself without knowing the other, one wins and one loses; I don't know who I am, I don't know myself, I will die in every battle.

Under the current situation, if Zhao Xin wants to successfully defend Miaojiazhuang, accumulate strength, and obtain a relatively solid fulcrum and strong armed force, this is the key internally, which starts with the training of longbowmen, and the most important thing externally is intelligence.

Without the premise of the Baozhou Mutiny, Zhao Xin would not care about any intelligence at all, just strengthen himself, a team of less than 500 people, a fixed defense and a certain number of longbowmen can solve it.

The location of Miaojiazhuang is a hilly area, the field of vision is not very wide, but it is not very narrow, as long as there are some sentry posts on the high ground everywhere, you can avoid being attacked during the day.

At night, send people to patrol more and set up some secret posts in hidden places outside the village, which can also avoid sneak attacks. Xue Yu and the others are all experienced officers, and if they lead the team, even if it is night, it is impossible for a large group of people to directly attack.

With Miaojiazhuang's fixed defense and longbowmen, as long as there is a little time to prepare, it is enough to ensure safety for the longbowmen to climb on the wall, and the wall provides sufficient protection.

This starting point is for a small group of troops, the Baozhou mutiny, so that the fundamentals of the future war, has undergone a huge change, their enemies, will no longer sneak in, because they have rebelled, within a certain period of time, the entire Baozhou has no power to balance them, the entire army of the Yunyi Army, plus I don't know the other forces mixed in it, will come to attack directly.

The Yunyi Army is the most regular forbidden army in Baozhou, with strong strength, 2,500 well-trained, itself is an overwhelming force, the Northern Song Dynasty's forbidden army is strong, not on paper, if the black hand behind the scenes is unwilling to give up and continue to strengthen the strength of the Yunyi Army, what they have to deal with is to double the elite.

Even Wang Deyong is involved in it, and other forces, I'm afraid there are a lot, even if conservatively speaking, there are thirty or fifty families, they send a group of secret personnel to Baozhou at a critical moment, a family of thirty or fifty people, that is, one or two thousand people, this part may be the biggest variable.

In normal times or in a normal state, these people are useless, to concentrate so many people, this should be no problem, to launch a unified attack, but also to avoid the eyes and ears of the government, in the peaceful Northern Song Dynasty, this is a thing that cannot be done at all, if there is a problem in any link, it is easy to crisis their family.

But under the rebellion of the Yunyi Army, these families can do more, as long as they are dependent on their families, they don't need to be notified of what to do, as long as they send personnel to Baozhou at the right time, they don't even need to bring weapons and equipment, just live in the inn and wait, as long as the turmoil occurs, these people will be guided to join the rebellion of the Yunyi Army.

At such a time of turmoil, they can be said to be forced to join the chaotic army, there is a cloud wing army name staring at it, they only need to do some basic things, once the matter is over, they will disperse and flee, and no one will notice them.

The Miao family has no background, and it is completely dependent on the development of Lao Taijun and Miao Shufei, and the family of relatives can train 20 elite families, these guys with a general's background, there is still no problem with the transfer of thirty or fifty elites, in this case, if you don't investigate how many enemies there are and what the basic composition of the enemy is, it is almost a nightmare, and there is no result of death or life.

The Longbow Team is a powerful class, and it doesn't play much role under the premise of not having an advantage in numbers, not to mention, there are some non-human existences, and those elite archers pose a huge threat to them.

The family members of the Miao Mansion can surpass the level of the ordinary forbidden army, reach the level of the chief of the Wu Dynasty, and the elite carefully cultivated in the sect may go further. There is really something similar to Danmu, it shouldn't be said to be Danmu, it's just an elite similar to Xue Yu, even if it's a little weaker, as long as the number exceeds 30 people, in the current state, Zhao Xin will definitely give up Miaojiazhuang, how far, how far to run.

30 elite archers are enough to suppress Sun Ji and Xue Yu, without these two elite archers, if you help the longbowmen to attack, the attack power of the longbowmen will not be able to play at all, and a large number of heavy infantry regiments with foot armor surround Miaojiazhuang, and there are some light cavalry and the like, cleaning up in all directions, he may not be able to escape.

The reason why he does not leave now is because he still has time, and while intensifying his efforts to develop Miaojiazhuang, he must also have information about Baozhou City, which requires more manpower and some special investigation methods.

What kind of means will the other party come up with to come up with such a table-flipping move to rebel, in addition to digging deep into the potential of Miaojiazhuang and striving to cultivate a group of qualified longbow soldiers, the number must be large, and it also needs unobstructed information channels, otherwise the eyes will be black, when the enemies are concentrated and the momentum of Mount Tai is overwhelming, there is no intelligence, then it will be over.

Now the focus is not to stare at all the roads, it is Baozhou City, the other party will definitely attack in Baozhou City, without the Yunyi Army in front, no one will suddenly start, and the risk is too great.

This means that there is still time, there will be no less time, now, the other party has not found a breakthrough, the Yunyi Army is still reliable, he has made two preparations, one is to be ready, ready to be able to fight against the 2500 regular army.

Now the strength of Miaojiazhuang can fight against 2500 regular troops, does he still need to escape, the other one, prepare a passage, a passage to escape from Miaojiazhuang, this one, go back and ask Miaoqi, maybe there is, these are the most basic things.

Intelligence is the key, a large number of manpower is needed, to monitor Baozhou City, once the other party launches in advance, the Baozhou Mutiny really goes out in advance, he also has a chance to reflect, the opponent's army comes, 30 miles, it may take a day, carrying a large number of siege equipment so the speed will be slower, this may be the last opportunity to escape.

This is the best of both worlds, even if Zhao Xin has more reluctance, once it threatens his life, then he can only escape, the foundation here is very good, it can help Zhao Xin, under the premise of his life, it is still important to save his life, leave him in a completely primitive world of poverty and whiteness, he can rely on the insight and card system of the traverser, establish a meritorious career, there is no need to throw his life here in vain.

There are many ways to collect intelligence, and the most convenient way is to mobilize a group of elite forces to enter different fields to conduct investigations, all-round investigations, and there was such an intelligence agency in the Northern Song Dynasty, for example, a professional intelligence agency such as the Imperial City Division.

Zhao Xin didn't have such a person on hand, the Imperial City Division was the largest intelligence agency in the Northern Song Dynasty, and even Sun Ji Xue Yu was sent to the Imperial City Division to do some support work.

The Imperial City Division is more external, rather than internal, the attack and killing of some important generals and civil officials in Western Xia and Liao, the destruction of military targets and the collection of intelligence, is his important task, domestic affairs, rarely send the Imperial City Division.

Because this is the era of civilian politics, the Imperial City Division is used abroad, and it is acceptable to work against the enemy, once it enters the interior, it is easy to trigger a backlash from the civilian clique if it engages in secret investigations and intelligence terror.

It is impossible for the Imperial City Division to be sent, there is definite evidence, with Zhao Xin's identity, he may be able to persuade Renzong to send the Imperial City Division to help him, but now, there are no suspicious signs, the reason why Zhao Xin knows is because of historical records, there is not even a hint of the Baozhou Mutiny now, how can I say it at this time, is it God?

This sentence is okay to Sun Ji They said, because he really showed a miracle, far from Emperor Renzong Tiangao, Renzong is a very calm person, with Renzong's reason, without a reason to convince him, he will not care about him at all.

The spy of the elite force, at the first time, was given up by Zhao Xin, then a large number of manpower is needed, this manpower can be an ordinary person, can not have any intelligence training, but there must be a suitable reason, go deep into Baozhou, through the power of the market, to detect intelligence, such an investigation, there is too much ineffective information, but it is better to be unable to conceal.

One or two elite forces, which can be hidden, or disconnected, huge, have checked hundreds of people, thousands of people, and enter Baozhou City through legitimate means, not only are there no omissions, but it is not easy to guard against, as long as the legitimate means are solved.
