Chapter 200 On the Importance of Intelligence Work
Surrounding the spot for help? These four words that came to mind made the two of them feel like they had fallen into an ice hole, and it was freezing to the bone.
If this were the case, then Liu Lang's independent regiment would never have sent those four or five hundred soldiers. There must have been more troops sneaking into Chonghua Township before that army.
But, how is this possible? As a giant bandit who has been operating at the junction of these three counties for more than ten years, he can't hide any disturbance within dozens of miles in Chonghua Township. How can he sneak into an army and steal it?
How about not being discovered by him? Unless... Huang Qingyuan's eyes suddenly darkened when he thought of the consequences.
"Mr. Yu, check what has been reported from the mountain in the past two days and see if any members of the brigade have passed by." Yu Wenlong suppressed the panic in his heart and tried to speak in a calm tone.
It is not unreasonable to say that Huang Qingyuan could stay with a warlord with guns and men for ten years as a bandit. This man actually imitated the government and started intelligence collection work. Every one-third of an acre in Chonghua Township,
As long as there are more than three foreigners coming, the spies he bribed at the foot of the mountain will report the foreigners' words and deeds in Chonghua Township to Heilong Mountain. And Huang Qingyuan is responsible for such an important matter as intelligence analysis. Naturally, Huang Qingyuan cannot
It will be handed over to someone else, one of his cousins.
If many foreigners come and you don't know about it, you can only say that there is a problem with the intelligence. Being betrayed by your cousin is a small matter. If your many secrets and even the escape route you prepared are known by your opponent, it will be really hopeless.
Burial place. How can Huang Qingyuan not be anxious when he thinks of this?
Yu Wenlong called an attendant and gave a few instructions in a low voice. Not long after, the attendant brought a book like a ledger. Yu Wenlong flipped through two pages and his eyes suddenly opened: "Uncle, there was a group of cargo merchants yesterday evening.
Passing through Chonghua, there were as many as 100 armed guards."
"What? There are so many people? Where are the old two? Why didn't you report it to me?" When Huang Qingyuan heard this, he roared with veins popping on his forehead.
The reason why I found Huang Qingxiang was because my cousin who was in charge of intelligence analysis on the mountain was feeling unwell a few days ago. The local medicine in the village was limited, so he had to go down the mountain to seek medical treatment in Beichuan County, a hundred miles away. Huang Qingyuan could only temporarily do this work.
He left it in the hands of his most trusted second brother, Huang Qingxiang.
Cao Cao was about to arrive when he said Cao Cao. Huang Qingxiang, who was still on the mountain commanding the bandits to deploy their defenses, rushed directly into the hall: "Brother, the third child must have been involved with those gangsters. We should attack immediately and steal their retreat. We should cooperate inside and outside."
One guy will kill them."
"Damn it, I asked you to cooperate inside and outside, but you have already done it for me." Huang Qingyuan, who was extremely angry, stepped forward and gave this guy a slap in the face.
"Brother, why did you hit me?" Huang Qingxiang was a little confused after receiving a slap.
Those who were scolded were even more unconvinced. Those who scolded me for being a coward were not doing the same thing as you.
"Hit you? I'm going to kill you." Huang Qingyuan threw the book recording the information in front of Huang Qingxiang, "See for yourself, and you can explain it clearly to me."
"Brother, I can't read." Huang Qingxiang said Nuonuo.
"The guy next door to Mala, how can you report information to me every day if you are illiterate?" Huang Qingyuan's eyes darkened, as if he had grasped something key, but it was not clear.
"Xiaojiu has recorded it and read it to me." Huang Qingxiang accompanied Xin carefully and said.
Because he didn't like reading, he was often beaten by the elder brother in front of him since he was a child. Whenever he mentioned this, he already had a shadow in his heart.
"Where's Xiao Jiuren?"
"Last night I sent him and a few brothers to inform the fourth brother to bring people back to the mountain. Didn't you say that you wanted to find some smarter brothers?"
"Haha, what a Liu Lang, it turns out that I haven't been planning on you for a day or two." Huang Qingyuan laughed sadly and sat slumped on the Grand Master's chair.
The matter is now very clear. It is not the intelligence agency at Yamashita that has a problem, nor is it his cousin or second brother who betrayed him, but there is also a problem with the insiders, or there is a problem with the close confidants around the second brother.
I'm afraid that his cousin's illness was also Liu Langzhi's trick! Only by getting rid of him, the intelligence analysis would fall on the illiterate second brother! However, Huang Qingyuan still couldn't figure it out.
How could Lang be so sure that he would leave such an important matter to an illiterate person?
At this time, Zhou Shiyu, who was in the regimental headquarters of the independent regiment's outdoor exercise tent, was handing a message to Liu Lang: "Regiment leader, Company Commander Liu has already engaged the gang of bandits from Panlongding Huangqingjiang, and the location is at Luochang."
"Luochang?" Liu Lang glanced at the map of northern Sichuan spread on the table.
That is the masterpiece of future geologist Huang Jiqing. As a native of Sichuan, Huang Jiqing spent this year conducting geological surveying and exploration in the southwest after graduating from Yan University. The map of northern Sichuan and central Sichuan has become a finished product. Liu Lang heard that
To suppress bandits in northern Sichuan, this man contributed the most precious map of this era without hesitation.
Huang Jiqing's map was very detailed, and a small mountain depression like Luochangping was not ignored on the map.
A smile appeared on Liu Lang's face: "Liu Dazhu chose a good place. The bandits are in danger. After solving this group of bandits, it will be much easier for Qiang Xiang and Ling Hong to deal with the bandits in Black Dragon Mountain." His eyes also bloomed when he looked at his face.
The commander of the company who dared to die smiled: "However, this time Liu Dazhu's entire company was able to sneak past, it is all due to your company commander Zhou Da! I didn't expect that you, Zhou Shiyu, would be so skillful, otherwise, you dare to die
Don’t be a company commander, come and be a reconnaissance company commander for me!”
"Leader, Shiyu is not a fool. You were merciful and allowed me to serve my crime that day. Shiyu is extremely grateful and determined to wash away our shame with the glory of the death-defying company. As for using a little trick to make some small mistakes in the enemy's intelligence, that's
This is Shiyu's business and not worth mentioning." Zhou Shiyu said solemnly with his feet together.
A wry smile appeared at the corner of Liu Lang's mouth. He actually had the illusion that he had shot himself in the foot. A bold second lieutenant who led sixteen soldiers as deserters because he felt he had been wronged actually didn't pay much attention to Liu Lang at first.
Here, letting him set up a death-defying company was just a way to avoid death that Liu Lang found for him.
Soldiers, even if they make mistakes, should die on the battlefield charging the enemy, not by the guns of their own men.
But during this period of time, Zhou Shiyu really gave him a lot of surprises. He just thought of a way to recruit the gang of gangsters as a source of troops. This man showed his talent during a month of investigating the enemy's situation.
.
Like Liu Dazhu, more than 100 men and horses with equipment were able to sneak into the vicinity of Heilong Mountain without making a sound and set up an ambush, and Zhou Shiyu was indispensable.
In advance, he lent to his subordinates a recruit who was originally a bandit that he sent to the recruit camp for training. This recruit, whose ancestral home was Beichuan, happened to have a cousin who was a bandit in Heilong Mountain. After several days of contact, Zhou Shiyu
Only then did I realize that the bandit named Xiaojiu was actually a confidant of Huang Qingxiang, the second-in-command on Black Dragon Mountain.
I don’t know what method he used to instigate Xiaojiu’s rebellion. First, he used a local poison from unknown sources to kill Huang Laowu, who was in charge of intelligence in Black Dragon Mountain. Maybe it wasn’t enough to kill him, but he was taken down by some combination of circumstances.
They then took advantage of Huang Qingxiang's lack of literacy to cover up Liu Dazhu's whereabouts.
In the strategy of infiltrating the enemy's intelligence system, the most difficult thing is probably to instigate rebellion from time to time. Instead, he expected that Huang Qingyuan would hand over the intelligence work to Huang Qingxiang, who was illiterate. No wonder he told the three of them that if the small group
When the troops carried equipment and wanted to lurk into the Black Dragon Mountain area, the three company commanders were also surprised.
Because everyone knows that a bandit who has been entrenched in the local area for many years will definitely manage the area around his lair like an iron barrel. Those who are not capable will be reduced to scum long ago.
"Huang Qingyuan is a very suspicious person. He only trusts his brothers absolutely. You can see that he gave the leadership of the three groups of bandits to his three brothers. How can such a person pass on the information?
Giving such an important job to others? If he could easily trust others, he wouldn't just be a bandit leader in the mountains." Zhou Shiyu's analysis is simple, but it is difficult to refute.
