Chapter 346: Take the Queer Mountain and go straight to the South Gate
Near Huikou, Beifu soldiers’ tent.
The bigger dispute occurred more than a mile away from here, near the back entrance, and overall it was relatively peaceful.
No one who came later would have discovered that a thrilling confrontation had taken place just now, let alone in Xiangyang City, which was further away.
Wang Mi believed that Fu Rui would not make any more moves tonight.
He looked down at Cui Yanyou.
This young man is probably slightly older than himself and stands dissatisfied. This is the best age to seek achievements in troubled times.
As for Cui Yanyou, who did not hesitate to betray a large number of Di Qin troops, although Wang Mi was unwilling to admit it, he had to say that he was blessed.
The people who defected to Jin Dynasty at this time were those who happened to be accepted by Wang Mi. Once he was favored by Wang Mi, his future development could be said to be limitless.
What was even more fortunate for Cui Yanyou was that Wang Mi not only took a fancy to his talent, but also took a fancy to his temperament.
He is so decisive and selfish in killing, he will definitely be a good material as a thug in the future!
"General Cui, please get up quickly and show General Cui a seat."
Cui Yanyou glanced at the small deerskin mat, but he didn't move at all. He only hunched over slightly and said pitifully: "Since my subordinate has defected to Beifu, he is no longer a general. It's better to stand and talk."
Wang Mi curled his lips and said, "Don't sit down if you don't want to sit down." This will fulfill his pretense.
"I was so busy just now that I didn't have time to ask what official position Yanyou held in the Qin army, and why he went to the hill on the other side of Huikou?"
"I guess I didn't go there just recently."
On this point, Wang Mi was quite confident. Ever since the Beifu army arrived at the foot of Xiangyang City, he could boast that he was fully aware of all the big and small movements happening in the surrounding area.
Such a large number of Qin soldiers left the city and walked upstream through the back entrance where Beifu was already stationed. They must not have set off recently.
Cui Yanyou was startled, then smiled and said: "Secretary Wang is right, the Qin soldiers set out about seven days ago, on the night when the Jin army burned the Qin army's warships."
Wang Mi nodded and expressed understanding. Cui Yanyou continued: "That night, General Liang Cheng and his subordinates came to Huikou to check the situation. At that time, we concluded that this move must have been done by the Jin army. Liang Cheng had just fought with Beifu recently.
After the army had fought, he was quite confident in this judgment and immediately ordered his subordinates to pursue the pursuit in the direction of Baishui."
"Liang Cheng has determined that the Jin army must be attacking from the direction of Baishui. If they want to retreat, they must take this road!"
"Seeing the blazing flames and the burned-out warships, the blood in my subordinates' hearts boiled immediately. I seized the opportunity and led the Qin soldiers to search along the Baishui coast for several days and nights. As expected, I found nothing.
"
"When the time came, my subordinates left the Qin soldiers where they could be killed by the Jin army, and rode alone to join them."
"If my subordinate's estimate is correct, the Beifu soldiers who just attacked should be back soon."
After listening to Cui Yanyou's words, Wang Mi couldn't help but feel lingering fear. If it hadn't been for the unexpected secret passage that night, their group might have been captured on the spot by the Qin army.
For the Beifu soldiers to achieve what they have today, Police Shen and his daughter should be credited with a great contribution!
"What does Fu Rui in Xiangyang City think of the Jin army now?"
"How is the defense in the city?"
"Where is the weak point, and where should the Beifu soldiers break through?"
Wang Mi raised his fingers and asked these three most important questions.
After saying that, he stared at Cui Yanyou meaningfully.
How about this great disciple of Cui family in Qinghe? If you want to surrender, just give me some useful information.
Cui Yanyou was so shrewd that he immediately understood the meaning of Wang Mi's eyes.
He had no psychological pressure to betray the Qin army. Now, people regard him as a member of Beifu.
He took a few steps forward and approached Wang Mi: "There are no strict regulations on the various official positions in the Di Qin army, and they do not necessarily have specific names. Xiangyang City is guarded by General Fu, and those below General Fu are General Liang Cheng, these are all named, but subordinates like this can only be regarded as the junior generals under Liang Cheng. And these junior generals do not have specific names."
"They are all casual official positions, just signed."
"When there is a big war, you can lead the troops to fight and stay with Liang Cheng."
Cui Yanyou talked eloquently about his official position, but he knew very well that Wang Mi was not actually interested in these things.
What he wanted to hear was the specific situation in Xiangyang City, so he quickly changed the subject: "To be honest, Xiangyang City has all kinds of supplies and weapons. It is quite complete, enough for Fu Rui to fight ten major battles."
"If the Jin army wants to capture Xiangyang City in one fell swoop, they must not attack from the front, they must use tricks."
right!
exactly!
Wang Mi was calm on the surface, but secretly happy in his heart: Cui Yanyou's idea coincided with his. If you want to seize an important town like Xiangyang from the front, you must be prepared to fight for more than half a year.
However, for Wang Mi, this is naturally not a cost-effective deal. As long as there is a clever way, he will never let it go.
"And this place where the Jin army can take advantage of it is on the hill outside the south gate of Xiangyang City!"
Huh?
This place sounded a bit familiar. Wang Mi looked around and saw that Zeng Jing was not there. Then he remembered that he had been sent out to chase another group of Qin soldiers.
correct!
It was the place where the Qin army fired stone cannons at the back entrance!
No need for Zeng Jing to remind him, Wang Mi also remembered it.
"What's special about the south gate of Xiangyang? Is it convenient for our army to raid?"
"Secretary Wang, this hill is called Que'er Mountain by the people in Xiangyang City. It is not a big place and you can't even see its specific location from near the entrance. However, this is a place that the people in Xiangyang City like to go to. a place."
"Just because there are so many birds and beasts in this hilly area, especially all kinds of delicious birds, the people in the city often come here to hunt birds and beasts for delicacies whenever they have free time."
"This place is slightly higher than the ground, but the terrain is relatively flat. It is suitable for the army to station and carry out various activities. In the past, Fu Rui often pulled the Qin army out of the city for training."
"However, as far as my subordinates know, Fu Rui's protection here is not very strict. This is related to the internal and external relations between Que'er Mountain and Xiangyang City."
"This corner of the Que'er Mountain hill extends just within the south gate of Xiangyang City. In other words, the south gate of Xiangyang City and Que'er Mountain are basically one."
"This gate was built according to the mountain and is inseparable from Que'er Mountain. On ordinary days, villagers always come and go between the two places, quite casually. Qin Bing also regarded Que'er Mountain as his own courtyard
generally."
"Fu Rui doesn't regard Que'er Mountain as a strategic location at all. He just goes here for horse racing and hunting on weekdays."
"Because Que'er Mountain is connected to the south gate of Xiangyang City, once you break through Que'er Mountain, you can pass through the south gate and reach Xiangyang City!"
