Chapter 462: Intelligence Preparation
"Lord!"
Tai Shici, Zhang He, Su Huan and other generals who stayed behind had already received the news of Shang Ji's arrival in advance, and they came out to greet them.
"Report on the current situation of the army!"
It was too late to be polite, so Shang Ji asked as he walked.
"Back to the lord, the army has been corrected in Quanzhou for two days, and the naval division under General Ling Cao has a total of more than 30 junk ships, and 77 large and small warships are now on standby in the open sea, ready to transport the army to departure!" Tai Shici hurriedly spoke up.
"270,000 horses, is the sailor sure that they will all arrive safely at one time? I don't want to see any surprises! ”
"Rest assured, General Ling promises that nothing will go wrong. Sailors already have a wealth of experience in the transportation of personnel. And now we are in the sea is an inland sea, the wind and waves are very small, and General Ling has also made a detailed investigation of the nearby hydrological conditions, which can completely ensure the absolute safety of the army's transportation! ”
Transporting a large number of troops across the sea, landing in Liaoxi, and then making a surprise attack on Liucheng was an important part of Shangji's plan. One of the most important is the issue of sea freight.
In his past and present lives, Shang Ji was in a state of unfamiliarity with this field, which was also the part that Shang Ji was most worried about.
Hearing the assurances of the navy, Shang Ji breathed a sigh of relief. Over the past month or so, the navy has been transporting refugees and prisoners non-stop, and now it has transported more than 8 million people, so it is naturally extremely experienced.
"Have you ever experimented? Is the combat effectiveness of the army seriously affected by sea transportation, and how long does it take to fully recover its combat effectiveness? Thinking of the embarrassment when he went to sea for the first time, Shang Ji couldn't help but ask.
"Lord Qi, we each took out a thousand Black Armor Xuan Cavalry, Silver Dragon Iron Cavalry, Dragon Bow Cavalry, Burning Sun Cavalry, Yan Tiger Cavalry, etc., and found that the stronger the troops, the lower the proportion of weakened after shipping, and the shorter the duration of weakness. In addition, Madame has developed an elixir that can restrain the side effects of shipping, and now the alchemy workshop is stepping up production, striving to achieve one pill per person before the official war! ”
"Well done!" Shang Ji shouted excitedly: "Order Xiangping, go all out to produce this elixir, and we must not affect the combat effectiveness of our army." ”
"Do you have any opinion on the direction of Quanzhou?" After pondering for a moment, Shang Ji asked again.
"No, Quanzhou Ling doesn't dare to complain at all, and now Quanjin has been temporarily taken over by our army."
Shang Ji smiled and said helplessly: "Don't scare people, we will cooperate in the future, and the relationship should not be too stiff." ”
Shang Ji did not plan to get involved in Quanzhou for the time being, and it was very taboo to encroach on other forces with a staff while the Han Dynasty was still in the framework, and it was easy to offend the public. And a lot of the bad things in the family haven't been settled yet, so it's not a wise move to expand the territory outside.
Tai Shi Ci touched his nose with some embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "The last general understands and will handle the relationship with Quanzhou Ling!" ”
"The art of war is cloudy, knowing oneself and knowing that the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles, I don't know what is happening on the Wuhuan side?"
"Let's ask Mr. Chen to answer this question for the lord!"
Saying that, Tai Shici took a step back and let Chen Guan after his birth.
"Crown, meet the lord!"
"Bai Shou hasn't seen him for a long time, but his demeanor is still the same!" Shang Ji also felt a little happy in his heart when he saw Chen Guan, Chen Guan was an old and important minister, and Shang Ji still had a deep affection for him.
"I'm tired of the lord." Chen Guan smiled, gentle and elegant, extraordinary, and had his own bearing.
has been in a high position for a long time, coupled with the abundant supply of resources, Chen Guan has now stepped into the super-first-class ranks, and he is no longer the down-and-out bandit master he was at the beginning.
Three days ago, Chen Guan came to Quanzhou on the fast boat of the sailor to provide intelligence support for Shang Ji.
"According to the information we have received, the Wuhuan ministries have begun to send troops one after another. The four Wuhuan troops have sent a total of 2 million troops, and all the cavalry is full. Among them, there are about half of the elite cavalry, and most of them are light cavalry, coming and going like the wind, if they can't fight down, these Wuhuan light cavalry may become a big problem! ”
Shang Ji frowned slightly, nodded to the map and asked, "What about the specific situation of Wuhuan in Liaoxi and Wuhuan in Liaodong?" ”
"This Wuhuan operation, commanded by Qiu Liju himself, Liaodong Wuhuan and Liaoxi Wuhuan sent a total of 1.3 million troops, of which Qiu Liju led 800,000 troops, and Su Fuyan led 500,000 troops. And according to our current intelligence, there are still 100,000 Wuhuan troops stationed in Liucheng, and there are more in Changli, with 150,000 troops left behind! ”
"Who is responsible for staying in Liucheng? Where are the Wuhuan armies of Liaodong and Liaoxi now, and how long will it take to return to Liucheng? ”
"The Liucheng guard is Qiu Liju's congratulator. The Wuhuan Department of Liaodong has already left Liaodong, and the Qiuli Residence Department of Liaoxi has also reached the vicinity of Lulongsai. According to our information, although the four Wuhuan decided to act together, they did not march in unison. The destinations of Qiuli's residence and Sumuyan's department are eastern Jizhou and northern Qingzhou; The Nanlou Department and the Wuyan Department intend to target the western part of Youzhou. Therefore, the timing of their return is not fixed. ”
"Based on my understanding of the Wuhuan departments, once our army launches an attack on Liucheng and Changli, Qiu Liju and Su Muyan are afraid that they will rescue each other, and the Wuhuan departments are not an iron bucket. It's naturally okay to go south to loot together, but at this life-and-death juncture, you must take care of yourself. ”
"Oh? Is there such a thing? Shang Ji's eyes lit up when he heard this, rubbed his chin, and muttered, "This is a good opportunity to take advantage of!" ”
It is taboo to march and fight, and it is taboo to make use of this to inflict heavy damage on the enemy!
Shang Ji pondered for a moment, and then ordered Chen Guan: "Get the detailed information of Su Muyan, as well as the specific strength of Su Muyan's department, what generals are under his command, I want the most detailed information!" ”
"Yes, within one day, the subordinates promise to deliver all the information!"
Shang Ji nodded with satisfaction. The intelligence line that has been painstakingly operated for a long time has become more and more mature, and the intelligence agency with the cloth agent as the core and the majority of players as peripheral members has begun to show its power. It may be a little difficult to deal with other princes, but it is more than enough to deal with a barbarian like Wuhuan who has no sense of secrecy at all!
"Pass the order, secretly send a messenger to pass the news of Wuhuan's upcoming rebellion to Yuan Shao, the Shou of Bohai County, Han Fu of Jizhou, Ding Yuan of Youzhou, and Sun Zhan, the Shou of Yuyang County, so that they can prepare for defense!"
In fact, there is no need for Shang Ji to send someone to inform them, and the large-scale transfer of the Wuhuan people cannot be concealed from them.
But it's one thing to know, and it's another thing to be able to resist the erosion of the Wuhuan people.
Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan naturally have their abilities, but it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. It has been less than half a month since these people took office, and Yuan Shao can say that with the name of the Yuan family, the process of taking over Bohai is quite smooth. But Gongsun Chan has just arrived in Yuyang with his army, and he has not yet figured out the specific situation, let alone rectified Yuyang County. Let his ability go against the sky, and he will not dare to confront Wuhuan people with fanfare at this time!
Han Fu has some roots in Jizhou, but his ability is not good, although the Yellow Turban Rebellion has subsided, but Jizhou is full of bandits, and simply pacifying the bandits has made him very busy, let alone resisting the raids of Wuhuan.
It is estimated that Han Fu will be able to issue an order to guard the city gate and report to the imperial court to wait for help.
I have to say that the timing of the Wuhuan people's selection is very appropriate, those who have the ability have no strength, and those who have the strength are not capable. In this vacuum period, it is just right to allow the Wuhuan people to expand aggressively.
This period in history was also the period of the fastest expansion of the Wuhuan people, plundering a large number of materials and population, and their strength expanded rapidly. However, Shang Ji didn't plan to give Wuhuan people this chance again, and planned to knock him to death with a stick when he raised his head, so as to prevent future troubles!
