Chapter 111 Zhang Jiao is finally here
"What's up?"
Mrs. Wang asked behind her: "Wang Ying, no big or small, why are the dogs doing sneakily outside? Why don't you come in to greet me?"
The voice is very harsh.
Wang Ying shrank his head, pushed open the door, and walked in.
A bright smile appeared on his face: "Hello Grandpa Song. I haven't seen you for a few days, and you have gained a lot of weight again."
"Hello Grandpa Su, hello Grandpa Chen..."
After walking around and calling grandpa, Yang Mo had already walked to Mrs. Wang and told her about the movements of the Yellow Turban Army that Wang Ying mentioned.
Mrs. Wang didn't react much, just said no.
Yang Mo asked from the side: "Where is this Pingcheng?"
"It should be Jinzhong, which is only a hundred miles away from Taiyuan. If it is fast, you can get there in two days."
"Oh, Jinzhong..."
Yang Mo recalled the map drawn for him by Mrs. Wang: "In this way, the Yellow Turban Thief is not in a hurry to capture Taiyuan?"
"Zhang Jiao is not a fool."
Although Mrs. Wang said this, her tone was quite disdainful.
After saying hello, Wang Ying walked over and took the initiative to massage the back of Mrs. Wang and said, "Grandma, why is that Yellow Turban Head not a fool? If you are really smart, how could you come from thousands of miles to invade our Taiyuan?"
"Who asked you to come?"
After all, Mrs. Wang still loves her grandson, and her attitude is completely different from what she just now.
"It was Wang Gui. He sent someone to find the eldest brother, but the eldest brother was not in the Duke's Mansion. He happened to meet me, so he asked me to tell me about this."
Wang Ying said as if he was performing his merits: "Wang Gui also said that the prince planned to send General Meng Tian to attack Pingcheng at night tomorrow night while they had not yet gained a foothold."
There was no surprise when Yang Mo heard the news on the side.
After Meng Tian was called back, he told himself that Li Jiancheng planned to let him act as the pioneer.
At that time, Yang Mo still advised him, and even suspected that Li Jiancheng wanted to kill someone with a knife, but Meng Tian disagreed and was even very happy.
I thought this was a great opportunity to prove him, and I wish Li Jiancheng could arrange such a job for him.
If he is allowed to stay behind, it will be boring.
Seeing that he really wanted to be the pioneer, Yang Mo just told him to pay attention to safety, he didn't say much.
"If you really want to attack the night while they have not yet gained a foothold, why not tonight?"
Song Lian next to him frowned, as if he was a little dissatisfied with this arrangement.
Yang Mo was a little surprised. Could it be that the old man still understands the art of war?
Before he could solve the problem, Su Sancai next to him also became serious and nodded: "Second Brother Song is right. The movements of the Yellow Turban thieves have been conveying to the army in time these days..."
"If the Yellow Turban thieves slow down their advance and instead take steady steps, they will send reinforcements when they attack Pingcheng."
The other old men also expressed their opinions: "Tomorrow night, I'm afraid the other party will be resting long ago and we'll fall into the trap."
"I heard that the Yellow Turban thief suffered a great loss in Jeju and now he has conquered Pingcheng again. I think there must be some precautions."
...
Everyone's words made Yang Mo even more and more surprised.
At this time, I closed my eyes and heard only the sound, and thought I had come to the staff tent of the three camps.
Moreover, the results of the analysis of these old men made him, who was not worried about Meng Tian, become a little uneasy.
He is familiar with the war.
In my previous life, I had fought many wars.
But modern warfare is still very different from ancient warfare.
There is a huge difference between the sea battle and the land battle.
Small-scale battles and large-scale legion charges are incomparable.
Therefore, although he did not need to experience the first war in this life, Yang Mo still paid great attention to it.
"When they were young, they followed the grandfather of Wangying to travel around the world and conquer all directions. They didn't have much other skills. They were quite capable of leading troops to fight."
Mrs. Wang explained, and Song Lian hurriedly said, "In front of the wife, the little ability of the villain is nothing."
"You don't have to be humble, Wang Ying, go and bring the map of the counties and counties around Taiyuan in my grandma's study."
He also arranged for Yang Mo and others to put the table together.
After bringing the map, it was spread on the table. Mrs. Wang said to Su Sancai: "Sancai, you are the best at night attacks. Come and analyze it for Mr. Yang."
Although Su Sancai is a landlord of aristocratic families, he is still an old farmer at heart. Therefore, no matter whether he is dressed or dressed or made up, it is no different from the honest and honest farmer who farms on the fields.
He was immediately restrained by Mrs. Wang's orders to the army.
But no matter how restrained he is, he did not refuse.
He walked to the table, blinked his slightly cloudy eyes, lay down, pressed one hand on Taiyuan on the map, and turned the other finger a few times to find Pingcheng.
"The journey from Taiyuan to Pingcheng is more than 80 miles, and it can be reached by the foot of Taiyuan cavalry for more than an hour in the evening."
Su Sancai, who entered the state, completely disappeared from his previous timid appearance. His eyes, which were originally slightly turbid, were flashing in his eyes: "The walls of Pingcheng are short and not strong, and there is no danger to defend around them. From this, it can be seen that the Yellow Turban Thief Army will still be stationed to conquer here. Obviously, they are exhausted and have to rest."
Yang Mo looked at the map and thought about his words.
I have more than three points of affirmation to Su Lie in Jizhou. He must be the fierce man in history.
Only by being a general and a tiger can you raise such a peerless general.
You must grasp it well.
Wang Ying lay on the table and scratched his head: "Master Su, how did you know that they were stationed in Pingcheng?"
Su Sancai hurriedly said, "When the young master says, since the prince plans to attack Pingcheng tomorrow night, he naturally finds out that the Yellow Turban thieves have already started to station in Pingcheng. Otherwise, they would have attacked long ago without waiting for our night attack."
"Ah, right, you said that, that's true."
Wang Ying suddenly realized, but complained: "This Wang Gui won't give me any clues."
He asked again: "How do you know that they are tired? Although the journey from Jeju to Taiyuan is far away, these thieves have been walking for so long, so they should not be tired."
Su Sancai just smiled, and Wang Ying looked up at Yang Mo: "Brother, do you think so?"
"no."
Yang Mo replied very simply: "Mr. Su has said just now that there is no danger to guard Pingcheng, but the Yellow Turban thieves still have to choose to camp here, because they have reached the end of the mast and oars and have to rest."
"After all, Taiyuan is close to you. Once the Taiyuan army attacks with all its might, they will be in danger."
Yang Mo's words were so powerful and resounding that they won the recognition of many old men.
Unexpectedly, in military affairs, the young Yang Mo actually had such insights.
"So, it is also possible that the Yellow Turban thieves deliberately showed weakness and wanted us to attack them. They had already prepared, right?"
Wang Ying seemed to understand and clapped his hands and asked, "That's why the prince decided to attack the night tomorrow, just to catch them off guard!"
"They thought we were going tonight, but we were going tonight!"
Everyone looked at Wang Ying like a fool, and even Yang Mo couldn't stand it.
The night attack tomorrow is purely a manifestation of Li Jiancheng's lack of military capabilities. What gold do you give him?
When attacking at night, the focus is on the speed of the troops.
Even if they are prepared, being prepared and being prepared are two different things.
Since you are preparing for a raid, the sooner the better.
