Chapter 83 Time Determination

Xiongzhou, Wu Ji stood facing north, looking at the heavy snow, his brows were furrowing.

Wang Shao strode, stood beside Wu Ji, and accompanied Wu Ji to watch the snow. After a long time, Wang Shao said: "Brother Wu, I think my brother guesses that Yelu Hongji will probably have to wait until the first month of the next year to use troops."

"Reliable?" Wu Ji asked calmly without looking back.

"Very reliable." Wang Shao nodded slightly and said, "Yelu Hongji has not yet been prepared. If he wants to complete the preparation, he will go to the first lunar month. This will still go smoothly and no unexpected happens. Otherwise, it will be impossible to complete the preparation in the first lunar month. It is normal for such a war to take several months."

"The more fully prepared Yelu Hongji, the more he shows that he will not die of his desire to perish me!" Wu Ji raised his eyebrows.

"Yes!" Wang Shao focused his attention and agreed with this statement: "The Khitans have been in ruining China for more than a hundred years, and they are always thinking about entering the Central Plains and ruling the Central Plains. If they use troops in the first month of the next year, although it will be snowy and snow, it will be beneficial to the Liao Kingdom. Yelu Hongji will definitely not be wrong. Besides, starting to use troops in the first month of the year, the warmer the more they fight. Therefore, I predict that Yelu Hongji will not miss this opportunity."

"It's reasonable! It's very reasonable!" Wang Shaoshen said with military service. His analysis was impressive, and Wu Ji agreed very much.

"Brother Wu, we guessed the rough date of Yelu Hongji's use of troops, and the date of troops we use of troops can be determined." Wang Shao looked at Wu Ji, and his pair of tiger eyes shot out: "Brother Wu, when do you think it's appropriate to use troops?"

Wu Ji turned around and looked at Wang Shao without saying anything. After a while, he laughed: "Shumi Wang, have you already thought about it?"

"I have some ideas, Brother Wu thinks what?" Wang Shao did not deny it.

"I said that during the military service, we must choose the day that Yelu Hongji would never have imagined the most. Yelu Hongji really couldn't have imagined this day! Even if he wanted to break his head, he would never have imagined it." Wu Ji was full of confidence.

Wang Shao's eyes were lit up, like a sharp sword, and it was tug on Wu Ji's body. Suddenly, he looked up at the sky and laughed happily: "The one who knows me is Brother Wu! Go into the house and say, let's make a good decision."

The day of military use has been confirmed. There are many things that need to be considered, and it should be discussed carefully.

When he returned to the house, Wang Shaoguan came to the door, took Wu Ji to sit down, and said, "Brother Wu, the main reason why I chose to do this day is that Yelu Hongji could not imagine this day."

"It seems that no one has used military service in ancient times and the present? If he wants to get it, he must have the magical power of predicting the future!" Wu Ji focused on the key point. It is unlikely that anyone would want to get the day they chose, although Yelu Hongji is very smart.

"Well!" Wang Shao nodded and then analyzed: "In addition to this, we have also launched a large-scale attack in the snow and ice, which has not been in the war for hundreds of years. Although our last plundering was rich and disrupted Yelu Hongji's plan, it was just a plundering. Yelu Hongji would not think I would attack in the snow and ice."

He was the director of the Liao army and was not the director of the Song army. Yelu Hongji would never have thought that Wang Shao was so brave that he dared to launch a large-scale attack on the Liao country in the snow.

"With these two points, we can do it." Wang Shao was very confident.

"This day is the time for the whole world to celebrate. Since the Khitans obtained the Land of Yanyun, they have also attached great importance to this day. They must be celebrating and cheering. Maybe Yelu Hongji is still dreaming of how to enter the Central Plains, but he never expected that our magic weapon suddenly appeared under the city of Zhuozhou. When he got the news, he understood that Zhuozhou had already come to our hands." Wu Ji's eyebrows were rolling up, full of joy.

"Not only has Zhuozhou fallen into our hands, the Liao army stationed in Zhuozhou will become our dead souls." Wang Shao was very happy and said, "For this southern expedition, Yelu Hongji spent a lot of money to store a lot of food and grass in Zhuozhou. If we get it, we can use it for a long time, so we don't have to adjust grain from the mainland anymore."

The cost of transporting grain for thousands of miles is very high. Furthermore, it is easy to attack the enemy. Once problems arise, it will lead to the army passively or even collapse. There are too many things to win by cutting off the enemy's food route.

If we can get the food and grass of the Liao army in Zhuozhou, it will be of infinite benefit to the Song army. Wu Ji nodded and said, "No matter what, we must get the food and grass."

"Brother Wu, let's discuss how to do it." Wang Shao raised his eyebrows and his power emerged.

"Wang Shumi, the border is more than a thousand miles away from Zhuozhou, and it takes four days. We will set out five days in advance." Wu Ji pondered for a moment and began to propose his idea: "And, my 150,000 army was divided into two parts, with 50,000 vanguards. The main task was to capture Zhuozhou, seize the food and grass of Zhuozhou, and annihilate the Liao army in Zhuozhou."

"It is a good idea to set out in two batches, and the two batches are separated by two days." Wang Shao agreed with this proposal: "Brother Wu, this time you plunder, you are deeply involved in the Liao territory and familiar with the Liao territory. You are led by you. The central army will be led by me. How about?"

Wu Ji went deep into the Liao territory and was very familiar with the Liao territory, far surpassing Wang Shao. It was the best choice to lead the vanguard army, so Wu Ji naturally had no objection.

"The vanguards were drawn from the plundering army. They went deep into the Liao territory, experienced and familiar with the Liao territory, and they could do it. It would be best if they were the ones." Wang Shao thought carefully and did not miss any details.

"Also, during this period we are trying to celebrate the New Year to confuse Yelu Hongji." Wu Ji made a plan.

"That's natural!" Wang Shao nodded and agreed loudly.

The two of them said one by one, and I said one by one, and planned the matter for this entry. They began to execute separately.

Of course, before this, he also wrote a military newspaper to Emperor Shenzong of Song. This is a national chess game, so that Emperor Shenzong of Song knew that it was necessary to arrange the war in Shanzhou. In order to keep it confidential, the ancient method was used, three transmissions and one transmission. The so-called three transmissions and one transmission means dividing a military newspaper into three parts, and only after the three are collected can we understand it.

Wu Ji called Zhang Tong. As soon as Zhang Tong saw Wu Ji's face, he asked, "Commander Wu, what's the matter with me?"

"What else can there be?" Wu Ji smiled and said, "I just want to ask you to worry more and find out the news about the Liao Kingdom."

"This is our duty." Zhang Tong replied with a smile: "The Liao Kingdom has not made much noise. It is estimated that it will be possible to complete the preparations in the first lunar month. It is very likely that the troops will be used at that time. You must prepare early."

"I have discussed with Mr. Wang, and we think so too." Wu Ji changed his tone and said, "Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang have decided not to wait for the Liao army to attack. If there is a chance, we will plunder again before the Liao army marchs, as before, disrupt Yelu Hongji's plan as last time."

"You still want to plunder? Are you addicted?" Zhang Dian was a little funny. The last time he plundered, he gained a lot of money, and their Qiyun Club also benefited a lot.

"Why not do it if you have the chance?" Wu Ji asked back.

"That's right! If you don't have a chance, that's stupid!" Zhang Tong agreed with this statement very much: "Commander Wu Du, don't worry, our Qiyun Club will do our best to find out the movements of the Liao army."

"You'd better start checking now, we may march at any time." Wu Ji came to the map and said, "You should focus on checking here, here, here, here, here." He kept his fingers on the map and pointed to the place.

The place where Wu Ji pointed out was the place where the Song army was going to pass. In order to keep it confidential, he pointed out some places, which were difficult to distinguish between true and false.

This operation is highly confidential. Only Wu Ji, Wang Shao, Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi know about it, but the rest of the rest know about it. The fewer people know about such a large-scale operation, the better.

"Okay! I'll make arrangements now!" Zhang Tong knew the military situation was urgent and left.

After arranging this matter, Wu Ji called Zhou Wei again. When Zhou Wei saw Wu Ji, he smiled and said, "Brother Wu, what are you asking me for? Are you going to attack Liaogou? Brother Wu, we can't wait, even if we go to Liao territory to plunder once, it's good."

"Are you still thinking about plundering?" Wu Ji asked casually.

"That's! That's! How exciting is the plunder!" When talking about the plundering, Zhou Wei's eyes were filled with stars and his smile was filled with smiles.

"General Zhou, you are right. I have discussed with Wang Shumi, and we cannot wait. We must go and plunder once before the Liao army takes action." Wu Ji looked at Zhou Wei and said, "You know that if you want to plunder, you must be familiar with the situation and keep it confidential. Therefore, this matter needs to be done by one person."

"Brother Wu, you don't want to send me to do it, right? No problem, you just give the order!" Zhou Wei knew very well that it was difficult to plunder again, so it was necessary to find out the situation in advance.

The last time I plundered was because the Liao Kingdom had no precautions and had a loophole for the Song army. If I plundered again, there would be no loophole to plunder and I would need to make more rigorous planning.

"It's just that I want to ask you to do it!" Wu Ji nodded, pointed to the map, and said, "You have to find out here and here, and the army is likely to pass by here."

"No problem!" Zhou Wei took the order readily.

"Remember, don't alert the snake. Before we act, we cannot alarm the Liao Kingdom." Wu Ji reminded: "Of course, you must ensure that when we act, we must quickly clear these obstacles and ensure that we will not discover them."

Zhou Wei didn't say anything, just focused his attention, then said goodbye and walked away quickly.

Not long after Zhou Wei left, Wang Shao came in again: "Have Zhou Wei gone?"

"Go!" Wu Ji nodded and said, "I originally wanted to send him to the forefront. But if you think about it carefully, it is necessary to send an army to go deep into the Liao territory before we act and clear these obstacles. General Zhou must do this."

"Yes!" Wang Shaoshen agreed.

"What's wrong with you?" Wu Ji asked.

"It went very smoothly!" Wang Shao smiled and said, "My military order is to buy more New Year's goods. We must spend a good time this year. We must gather our brothers together and have fun. At that time, I will give the order and we can set off."
