Chapter 477: Doubt and speculation
Wang Quanbin looked at the river beach and stared blankly, vaguely realizing that the second prince was difficult to deal with. Since he was fighting against him, he had been suppressed by the opponent several times.
At this time, Wang Renzhan, who is the chief magistrate, spoke.
"Now it seems that the Shu army has seen through our intention to march. Not only ambushed the other side of the Jialing River Deep Ferry, but also sent people to support Xiaomantianzhai. It can be seen that our actions were controlled by the other party. There are only two possibilities. One is that there are experts from the Shu army, including those who are well versed in military strategies and strategies, who are well versed in the enemy's initiative. The other possibility is that our whereabouts have been leaked and intelligence personnel have mixed into our team."
Wang Quanbin looked at Wang Renzhan and showed doubts: "What do you mean, are there any detailed works in the army?"
"Yes, it's not impossible. I have the Wude Department in the Song Dynasty, which is responsible for spying on intelligence. I just stepped down this year and am well aware of the importance of intelligence departments and military spying. Shu Kingdom will also have intelligence organizations. Moreover, based on the information I had when I was in the Wude Department, this second prince did not involve the government affairs before, but was responsible for inquiring about intelligence from nearby countries. He has the Shu Kingdom's intelligence network in his hand."
Wang Renzhan made these speculations, both real and false, and guessed some of them correctly.
His words attracted Wang Quanbin's attention because Wang Renzhan, as the governor, had no less say than him.
Wang Renzhan, like Zhao Pu, Li Chugeng and others, were both confidant aides and favorite ministers of the Zhao official family in the Song Dynasty.
Wang Renzhan was born in a dental school, familiar with military affairs, and proficient in martial arts. More importantly, his character is in line with the needs of the military ethics: he is good at scheming, scheming, and has many tricks.
During the years when Wang Renzhan was appointed as the Wude Envoy, the Wude Office was very happy. Even the trusted subordinates of King Zhao Guangyi of Jin had more than ten people dealt with and beaten by Wang Renzhan. Even Prime Minister Zhao Pu felt pressured.
Later, Zhao Pu and Zhao Guangyi rarely joined forces to squeeze Wang Renzhan out, and replaced him with Wang Jien and Liu Zhixin, who jointly took charge of the Wude Department.
One is responsible for investigations within and in the south of the capital, and the other is responsible for investigations and intelligence on the northwest and grasslands outside the capital.
Wang Ji'en is the chief supervisor of Zhao Guan's family, while Liu Zhixin is the elder brother of Zhao Guan's family, and they are all absolute confidants.
Because Zhao Guan family was the emperor who was "in yellow robe" by the imperial guards, he was worried that the old things would happen again, so he deliberately divided the imperial guards into the palace army and the guards, and at the same time set up the Wude Department to add 10,000 elite troops to be responsible for the security of the imperial guards, so as to prevent the imperial guards from changing the war.
Wang Renzhan was able to be the first chief of the Wude Department and now serves as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, which is deeply trusted by the Zhao official family.
Therefore, even as the head coach, Wang Quanbin will listen carefully to Wang Renzhan's suggestions and opinions.
"Brother Zifeng, what are your opinions?" Wang Quanbin shouted out Wang Renzhan's words and asked for advice seriously.
Wang Renzhan thought, "The most urgent task is to find out the meticulous work. We can be so clear about the strategies we designated, at least at the level of the lieutenant and Du Yuhou. It is better to gather these people together and send out fake news that they would smuggle from the upper reaches tonight and attack the Shu army camp. Then when it comes, they will send people to control ships to cross the river quietly with scarecrows on it to test the reaction of the Shu army. If an ambush appears, it will prove that the meticulous work is among these lieutenant and Du Yuhou."
"What if there is no ambush and blocking on the opposite side?"
"That's to prove that our army does not have the detailed works of the Shu army, but in the Shu army, there are experts to assist the second prince of Shu!" Wang Renzhan was meticulous and could infer many truths through one thing.
"That's it."
Wang Quanbin plans to test the team according to Wang Renzhan's plan.
Jialing River, the south bank.
The Shu army was also camping, leaving 10,000 people in the Ming area, and the rest of the troops continued to retreat to the mountains and forests.
This way of arranging the real and real is in line with the way of using troops.
The enemy will never understand how many people there are here, and the secret soldiers can be mobilized at any time, so they are considered a surprise soldier.
Meng Xuanyu was also very impressed by Su Chen's arrangement and did exactly what he said.
It has been proved many times that it is absolutely true to listen to Su Chen!
As for the strategies of other strategists, they are not reliable and will only cause trouble!
"Brother Chen, do you guess the Song army will withdraw next?" Meng Xuanyu was a little worried.
Su Chen shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. The Song army now has two ways. One is to burn its boats, smuggle across the Jialing River, and launch a sneak attack on our military camp. There is still a chance to turn the tables. The other is to lead troops to join the Song army attacking Xiaomantian Pass, collect more than 10,000 troops, seize Xiaomantian Pass, eliminate more than 10,000 Shu troops, compensate for certain losses, which is a safer approach."
Meng Xuanyu asked: "Will the Song army choose to be radical or safe? Can this be inferred? Or should we continue to waste this and wait for the Song army to choose!"
Su Chen said: "Actually, the choice between Song Jun and his highness also has something to do with His Highness. You can help them make a decision!"
Meng Xuanyu asked in confusion: "What's the solution?"
"If Your Highness intends to lead the Song army to attack, then loosen the outside and tighten the inside, and withdraw the obscurity of the south bank of the river, giving Bureau Song a chance to register the case. After they tested it, they felt that the Shu army would relax their vigilance and would naturally come to attack."
After hearing Su Chen's explanation, Meng Xuanyu frowned and felt that this plan was too risky.
It was dark and part of the Shu army was in the Ming Dynasty. Once it was attacked by the Song army, even if there were divisions in the mountains outside, it was difficult to arrange for the fight at night. I was not sure whether the Song army could be wiped out completely!
If you can't do it well and make mistakes, you will be able to get rid of the stolen camp and you will be able to get the fun and you will not have time to regret it.
Meng Xuanyu asked: "How can we let the Song army retreat when we see the difficulties and withdraw our troops as soon as possible? As long as the Song army retreats, our strategic goal will be achieved, and we can stabilize the defense and keep Jiameng Pass, blocking the Song army north of Jialing River and Jiameng Pass."
Su Chen thought for a while and said, "This is not difficult to do. As long as you set up more stoves in the mountains and forests, the Song army will misjudgment the number of people. Then let the cavalry run around the valley behind to create momentum, and they can scare the Song army and prevent them from acting rashly. They guessed that the South Bank army would have at least 40,000 to 50,000, and the Song army would retreat with difficulty."
