Chapter 227 Intelligence System
The moon rises, bringing a cool air between heaven and earth. The cicadas have stopped chirping long ago, and there are frogs croaking everywhere.
Wang Xiaolie leaned on his chair and looked at the moon in the sky, somewhat lost in thought. If he remembered correctly, after Wu Shu arrived in Luoyang, he would enter Shaanxi to fight the Song Dynasty. After that, the Song army was defeated in Fuping and Shaanxi was lost.
What can be done? In the First Battle of Fuping, the Song army had an absolute advantage, and Zhang Jun took the initiative to attack, so there was nothing he could do to persuade him. All he could do was to wait quietly for news of failure. This battle destroyed the last main force of the Song army.
Only when they are eliminated will they enter a strategic stalemate.
The world is so helpless. He knew what would happen, but had no way to change it. Zhang Jun was criticized by later generations for his great ambition and weak talent. The big reason was the Battle of Fuping. He had a heavy army, a pedantic style, and poor integration of his subordinates. In the end, he lost Shaanxi.
The strength of the Song army is nearly 200,000. If they can really unite and be loyal to the country, the Jin army is likely to be defeated. After defeating the Jin army in Guanzhong, turning eastward, and reoccupying Hedong, the situation will be completely different. It is a pity that the situation will be completely different.
, Zhang Jun only has the ability to think like this, but not the ability to do it.
It was late at night and everyone dispersed. Wang Xiaolie returned to the study and sat there for a long time before falling asleep.
The next day, Wang Xiaolie just took a shower and met Wang Ruohai and Zhang Jun in the flower hall.
The two sat down, and Wang Xiaolie ordered tea to be served. He said: "I want you to come back this time to discuss the deployment of Chenzhou, Yingzhou and even the state capital further away. Counselor Wang has been in Caizhou for a few months, and he should have been there for a few months.
Having figured out the situation there, Zhang Jun should also prepare manpower."
Wang Ruohai handed over his hand: "The situation has been roughly figured out. Here is a picture drawn for observation."
Wang Xiaolie took the map in his hand and unfolded it. It was a map of Chen and Yingzhou. The various forces were marked with red lines. Where are the forces located, who is the leader, how many people there are, and what their strength is.
Clearly.
Wang Xiaolie looked at the map and handed it to Zhang Jun. He said: "This is what you have to do. Select your troops and enter the two states of Chen and Ying. Resolutely destroy some forces that are detrimental to the country and the people. They will harm them.
For the small ones, establish good relations with them. Join forces with these forces and firmly control the people of the two states. If the Jin army comes, they will be uneasy, unable to move quickly, and unable to obtain food and grass from the people."
Zhang Jun crossed his hands and said yes. "In the past few months, I have selected a total of 1,076 people from the army to follow me to the two states."
Wang Xiaolie said: "One thousand people is enough. The guerrilla zone is not a war zone, and the number of troops should not be too large. The key is to be precise. We must be particularly good at fighting with dozens or even a few people, able to disperse and unite together."
If regular warfare is about occupying cities and destroying the enemy's main force, guerrilla warfare is about occupying fields. The key is to win the hearts and minds of the people and to be able to unite the people. If you cannot win the hearts and minds of the people, guerrilla warfare will fail!"
Zhang Jun hesitated for a moment, crossed his hands and said, "I will keep this in mind!"
Wang Xiaolie said: "To be honest, you are still a bit young and competitive. You are not very good at winning the hearts of the people. But in terms of flexibility and adaptability, no one else can compare with you. This time
Go out, listen more to Counselor Wang, and don’t do anything wrong.”
Zhang Jun said: "Don't worry if you observe! I know the matter is important and I will never act randomly!"
Wang Xiaolie nodded and said: "We have another advantage in establishing a guerrilla zone. We have a solid rear. No matter what difficulties we encounter and when we can't solve them, we have to ask Counselor Wang for help. When Counselor Wang has difficulties, there is me.
I give you half a year. All the forces marked on this map must be eliminated. The forces that must be destroyed, destroy them! The forces that can be united must establish connections. At the same time, there must be a foundation in every county. Or it may be a copycat.
Or a water village, or some other convenient place. You have to adapt to this matter and don't be rigid. In short, we must ensure that our personnel have a place to stay and an escape route at any time when they enter the two states. "
Zhang Jun said yes one by one.
After giving orders to Zhang Jun, Wang Xiaolie said to Wang Ruohai: "Zhang Jun is going to use force, but the most important thing is to consult here."
Wang Ruohai said: "Please observe and give instructions."
Wang Xiaolie said: "Aside from the use of force, the most important thing to us is intelligence. When the two countries are fighting, we always have to send agents. The previous method of sending agents was too simple. In Caizhou, we need to establish a complete intelligence-gathering system.
System. I have several requirements. First, this system must be complete, and no major event in the two states can be missed. Second, if there is a problem with some aspects of the intelligence system, there must be a backup to ensure the continuity of the intelligence system.
Operation. Third, no matter which link has the problem, the clues must be cut off to prevent the enemy from following the clues. Fourth, the personnel of this system only collect intelligence and deliver intelligence, and do not participate in other things. Even the enemy generals
In front of you, you can reach out and kill, but you can't take action. Fifth, in important places, there must be both core personnel and peripheral personnel. Peripheral personnel only collect intelligence, and must not be allowed to know the existence of the intelligence system. Sixth,
In important places, there must be both fixed personnel and fixed places, as well as mobile personnel.”
Having said this, Wang Xiaolie waved his hand and said: "Let's say this much for now. If you think of it later, we will talk about it later. In short, intelligence is very important for war. In the past, the collection of intelligence was not systematic and had many shortcomings.
We can't do that again. The counselor must do a good job in Caizhou. The establishment of this intelligence system is of great significance to our army."
Wang Ruohai raised his hands and said yes.
Although Wang Xiaolie said this many times, Wang Ruohai didn't know the meaning of some of the terms Wang Xiaolie said, and the other thing was very different from the current practice, so he could only understand it while doing it. Fortunately, this matter
It requires carefulness and there is nothing difficult to learn.
Wang Xiaolie said: "Both the intelligence system and Zhang Jun are all under the name of the counselor. Unless it is a major matter, there is no need to ask me for instructions. I emphasize again that the intelligence system must not be confused with the guerrilla army. Remember this!"
That's all. Wang Xiaolie said: "The book of war says, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will be victorious in every battle. But it is difficult to know the enemy, but how easy is it to know yourself? Many generals are full of confidence before the war and only think that victory is within easy reach. But during the war, they never expect this.
, then it was not expected, so how can we talk about victory? When commanding a battle, you should be as cautious as facing an abyss."
Wang Xiaolie was inspired by the upcoming Battle of Fuping. From the recent deployment of the Song Army, it can be seen that Zhang Jun is full of confidence. He only wants to complete his achievements in one battle, defeat the Jin Army, and regain
The two capitals have made immortal contributions. It is dangerous to have this kind of thinking. It is no wonder that later generations said that Zhang Jun had great ambition but little talent.
Seeing the puzzled looks on Wang Ruohai and Zhang Jun's faces, Wang Xiaolie said: "You guys are resting in Xinye these days to get familiar with each other and then you have information on how to pass it on. When the weather gets cooler at the end of the month, we will go eastward."
Wang Ruohai said: "Look, summer is about to pass, and autumn is about to begin. Caizhou is newly restored this year, and there is no wheat shipped to Dengzhou. Autumn grain——"
Wang Xiaolie said: "There is no need to transport autumn grain. You have many things to do in Caizhou. The money and grain are yours to use first. If you have any leftover, just save it. It will be decided next year depending on the situation. However, I say it first, the Zhenfu Secretary will give it to you.
