Chapter 807 Waiting for Orders
Secondly, it emphasizes in detail the importance of knowing yourself and your enemy, and how to predict the opponent’s behavior based on one’s past experiences and habits, take precautions in advance, and turn defense into offense.
Xiao Rongyan looked at it with a bit of fascination…
Yang Wuce couldn’t help laughing when he talked about Daming Prefecture, and his voice became louder. “Who would have thought… Just now, Daming Prefecture sent people to deliver our Daliang-specific food and Liang wine to celebrate New Year’s Eve. They also sent a letter with the food delivery team from Daming Prefecture, saying that they were willing to surrender to the Princess Zhenguo, and only hoped that the Princess Zhenguo could give them medicine to treat the people.”
Bai Qingyan lowered her eyes and thought carefully. This was inconsistent with what she had sent people to find out about Cao Renyi’s behavior in the several battles with the Rongdi, in which he would rather die than surrender, regardless of the lives of the people.
The reason why she did not lead the troops to attack Daming Prefecture was, firstly, because it was close to the end of the year after the capture of Yong’an City, and she wanted the soldiers to have a good New Year. Secondly, she wanted the soldiers to have a good rest so that they could take down the tough bone of Daming Prefecture. However, Cao Renyi… sent people to surrender.
She narrowed her eyes and gently rubbed her hands on the edge of the table, stroking the Liang wine and Daliang-specific food that Cao Renyi had sent.
Liang wine, unique food…
A gust of wind blew in from outside the tent, and the oil lamp on the table dimmed and then lit up again.
She chuckled and looked up at Zhao Sheng: “What do you think, General Zhao?”
Zhao Sheng frowned, “I haven’t had much interaction with General Cao, but based on my understanding of General Cao Renyi’s fighting style, General Cao is not a general who cares about the lives of the people. In the battle against the Rongdi, General Cao robbed the people of their food in order to defend the city, and did not allow the people to leave the city for refuge, forcing the people to take up farming tools to resist the Rongdi.”
“What does General Yang think?” she asked Yang Wuce again.
After hearing what Zhao Sheng said, Yang Wuce was a little hesitant. He had a good relationship with Cao Renyi, so naturally he hoped not to go to war. That’s why Cao Renyi sent someone to ask for peace, and asked someone to bring a message saying that he was unwilling to go to war with Yang Wuce. Yang Wuce was overjoyed and almost… was blinded by the old friendship.
Just as Zhao Sheng said, Cao Renyi is not a general who puts the people first, but this time he said… he asked Princess Zhenguo to give him medicine to treat the people. This… is the biggest flaw.
Yang Wuce did not dare to answer Bai Qingyan’s question. He thought for a moment and said, “Although I don’t want to fight with my old friend, what General Zhao said… is indeed reasonable.”
After that, Yang Wuce clasped his fists and said to Bai Qing solemnly, “If the Princess Zhenguo trusts me, why not let me take a small part of the troops to Daming Prefecture to investigate? If Cao Renyi really wants to surrender, the Princess Zhenguo can lead her troops into the city. If not… I will definitely capture Cao Renyi alive and bring him to the Princess Zhenguo.”
“General Yang doesn’t need to lead his troops to Daming Prefecture. I’m afraid General Cao will lead his troops tonight.” She smiled and took back her hands from the table. She spoke slowly, “Tonight is New Year’s Eve. Whether it’s our army or the Liang army, they will be careless in defense. On New Year’s Eve, a day for family reunion… Will General Cao’s sending of Daliang’s unique food and Liang wine make the soldiers of Daliang feel homesick and nostalgic? Will it have the same effect as when they were surrounded by enemies?”
Zhao Sheng and Yang Wuce looked at each other, and alarm bells rang in their hearts.
“Have the spies we sent to keep an eye on Daming Prefecture returned?” she asked.
Zhao Sheng suddenly realized: “No.”
In this case, it is likely that the spy sent to keep an eye on Daming Prefecture has been killed by Cao Renyi.
Otherwise, the spy should have come back to report before Cao Renyi sent someone to deliver Liang wine and food.
She stood up with her hands on the table and walked to the sand table hanging in the big tent. Zhao Sheng and Yang Wuce quickly stood up and followed her.
After roughly scanning the detailed terrain, she pointed at the locations where they were currently camping in Yong’an City and Daming Prefecture on the sand table, and spoke in a steady pace: “From where we are camping to Daming Prefecture, it only takes an hour and a half to go back and forth. Please ask General Zhao to send more spies to Daming Prefecture to inquire. The spies will be in groups of two, and they will set out every half an incense stick of time. Send out a total of four groups! Tell them to return and report immediately if there is any unusual movement on the way or in Daming Prefecture. If no group returns… there must be a problem.”
Zhao Sheng and Yang Wuce nodded. If Cao Renyi really wanted to launch a night attack, for safety reasons… he would definitely set up an ambush on the road to intercept the Jin army’s spies.
Her mind raced as she thought: “At the same time, please ask General Zhao and General Yang to gather the soldiers and inform them that Cao Renyi is expected to attack the military camp at night. Remember to encourage the soldiers!”
As she spoke, she took two small flags with the names Zhao and Yang written on them, stared at Zhao Sheng, and said calmly, “If the four groups of spies have not returned, General Zhao will lead 50,000 troops to the right side of our military camp and wait for orders!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Qingyan planted the small flag with the word Zhao on it on the right side of the camp, and quickly planted the small flag with the word Yang on the left side, looking at Yang Wuce: “General Yang, lead 50,000 troops to support us on the left side of our camp. I will lead the rest of the soldiers to wait in the camp. Once Cao Renyi’s army enters the encirclement, we will capture it!”
Bai Qingyan arranged things in an orderly manner in a short period of time, quickly and steadily, which actually made Yang Wuce and Zhao Sheng feel excited.
“yes!”
Yang Wuce and Zhao Sheng clasped their fists and said yes.
Bai Qingyan’s layout is equivalent to making a gourd… If Cao Renyi leads his troops tonight, as soon as the soldiers enter the gourd mouth, Yang Wuce and Zhao Sheng will tighten the gourd mouth, which will be like catching a turtle in a jar, and Cao Renyi will definitely not be able to return.
She stared at the sand table, looking at the fastest and flattest road from Daming Prefecture to the Jin army camp, which was also the longest road between Daming Prefecture and Yong’an City. She selected two locations and planted four small flags on both sides.
“These two locations… are the two places where soldiers are most likely to hide on this fastest road between Daming Prefecture and Yong’an City. General Zhao sent four teams to explore this road to see if there are any ambushes by the Liang army! If there are… don’t alert them, just send someone back to report.”
She looked at the rolling hills around the Jin army camp in the sand table again. She took a handful of small red flags and planted several flags at several high places where it was easiest to observe the Jin army camp. “There must be General Cao’s spies around our camp! General Yang, please pass on the order to have the soldiers turn off the lights, put on their armor and swords, and wait for orders.”
“After our army turns off the lights, the Liang army spies in Damingfu will definitely return to the city to report! General Zhao will send a team to set up an ambush in this location in the dark while the lights are turned off.” Bai Qingyan pointed to the ambush site that had just been arranged on the road from the Jin army camp to Damingfu. He lowered his eyelids, and his deep eyes were full of murderous intent. “After letting go of the first batch of spies who report back to Damingfu…”
